About this listen

Bookish, snarky, and fiercely independent Nate Boudreaux leads a solitary life. Between teaching classes at the university and working toward his PhD, he doesn’t need a partner to occupy his time, and he certainly doesn’t need a man like Alistair Drake complicating his future.

Alistair Drake, black sheep of the tremendously wealthy Drake family, is more interested in adding another notch to his bedpost than another zero to his bank account. When a Grindr message brings him to Nate’s doorstep, then straight to his bed, he has no reason to believe that what they share will be more than a simple hookup, until, three months later, a tug on his soul informs him otherwise.

For the Drake family has a secret - one that will force Nate and Alistair together as much as it will demand that they be torn apart. One that Alistair and his brothers have carried all their lives...and one that Alistair and Nate’s future children will carry, too.

Bound to each other by the three precious impossibilities, Nate and Alistair have no choice - no matter the consequence, they will fight for their forbidden clutch.

Clutch is a 64,000 word steamy omegaverse mpreg-ish romance that will leave you in stitches. It contains a Grindr hook-up gone very wrong (or very right), giant magical lizards, a pig named Olive, a wank throne, and a HEA, right down to the white picket fence.

Fantastic start to the series - a whole new world with dragons and mates and magic, beautifully written and (once I got over the voice reading it not being mine!) fantastically narrated. I particularly love Harry and his voice, although I’m fairly certain Seb is Chris Hemsworth!!
After the initial shock of finding that dragons exist, and he’s birthed eggs, Nate Boudreaux has a turbulent introduction to the laws, family and world of his eggs’ sire, Alistair. With ups and downs, and old feuds, the constant is his bond to his eggs and, as it develops, to their father.

Great start - looking forward to the rest of the series!

This book breaks the notions of a typical shifter novel. I really enjoyed Nate and Alistair, and found them to be wonderfully engaging. Ferraiuolo has not only managed to bring these characters to life, but also has a gift for drawing someone into a story. The plot was nice and well thought out and I really liked the development of it.

Absolutely enchanting

such an interesting premise. I'd read some of the other books in the series and it was nice to see the origin story. excellent narration.

loved it

I have seldom read a more delightful and enjoyable audiobook. It draws you in slowly and as the relationship between characters develop you become invested in them as well. Light hearted and enjoyable

Throughly enjoyable

I hadn't read this series by Piper Scott and Virginia Kelly yet so I jumped at the chance to listen instead. Michael Ferraiuolo does an excellent job of giving the characters such great distinctive voices. Harry, the MC's best friend/flat mate is my favourite at he has such enthusiasm and curiosity.
This tale is Nate, an omega, who is doing his post-grad degree at the university and he shares an apartment with the quirky, gregarious Harry who is a beta and a researcher/avid fans of all things lizard/snake/reptilian.
Enter Seb an alpha with purple eyes who has a one night stand with Nate when he's in heat...the rest is quite an intriguing tale of Dragon clans, hoards, clutches and mates. Family first. Highly recommended and I look forward to listening to the next book when it's available.

Enter the Dragons?
