Summary

All ice dragon shifters have a fated mate. But Andrew was never allowed to find his. At 18, he was forced to bond with a rich 70-year-old man.

Now that man is dead, Andrew is unable to bond to anyone else. He’s never felt so alone.

Timber has worked as a professional daddy dom for more than 10 years, when his agent comes to him with an unusual proposition. An omega from New York needs a hired knot, and he’s willing to pay an exorbitant sum. The contract comes with a picture of a beautiful man and a list of demands that are so in line with Timber’s personal interests, it’s uncanny.

At the end of the list is a nervous request:

“I’d like you to call me ‘baby boy'. If you wouldn’t mind.”

Timber can’t refuse a request like that.

Expensive is a gritty D/s love story set in the omegaverse with age play, hurt/comfort, and mpreg of the dragon egg variety. It was previously released as a short story. This version has an additional 30,000 words.

While Expensive is set in the same world as the Heron Manor series, it stands alone.

Amy Bellows is a new author to me but I was certainly willing to try her book. I’ve been on a shifter run and this isn’t even my first dragon shifter book. I liked the premise of this one – a man who is bound to a life he doesn’t want because of ancient traditions and family. Ugh, Andrew’s family.

But Andrew has a caring staff member who suggests he find someone to satisfy his needs. With infinite resources, Andrew selects Timber, a porn star. Timber is ready to admit the money would be nice, but there’s something about this young man that calls to his inner protective alpha. One taste of Andrew and he knows his life has irrevocably changed.

Then a pregnancy derails everything.

But I kept hoping the men would find their happy ending. That against all odds, something good would happen to both of them. Well, I was quite pleased with the ending of the book. There was a lot going on with other characters and if there are more books, I’ll pick them up as well. Finally Zachary Zaba. I quite enjoy his narrations and he rounded out this lovely book nicely.

This was an interesting story. I did feel as if something was missing - maybe more background or world-building? To me (like my dark, very dark), it felt more messed up/agonizing decisions than dark, which is still good but not exactly what I was expecting. Overall it was a good listen, and while I doubt ill relisten, I'd check out the next book. It could be me (I’ve sped up a lot lately), but the narration was slow. It did get better after the sped-up.

I really felt for both main characters from the start. We see with both Andrew and Timber the harsh pasts that they had which lead them to where they were in the present - that lead to them meeting one another. Andrew showed how strong he was, for what he had been put through as a young omega, being forced to have a bond out in place with an old Alpha and how he was dealing with what life, and his father, had thrown at him since the Alpha had died. Timber had been put in the red wolf breeding pits and fought through so much. Even after being freed this time still affected him - and how he was with his scene partners, and also Andrew.

I really enjoyed their relationship developing, from the contract it was at the beginning to how their feelings grew. I loved hearing Andrew embrace his little and Timber embrace his Daddy and what it meant to be Andrew’s Daddy. Without spoilers, there were some parts towards the end where my heart broke for both men and I desperately hoped they’d get their HEA.

I enjoyed Zachary Zaba’s narration. Enjoyable and engaging - it was definitely not monotonous and really brought the characters to life.

Love the characters.

Andrew and Timbers story takes you through a turmoil of emotions, from hiding and sacrificing things dear to them.

The story is about Andrew, who needs some maintenance for his heats, as his bonded mate has died. So he hires Timber, and things develop, but the relationship has to be hidden, good world-building, Daddy/Boy, Mpreg, Ageplay and a lot of hurt/comfort with a birth scene.

These two main characters are well written and complement each other, I simply love the narration by Zachary Zaba, very easy to listen to, and each voice was distinctive. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

*This review may have modest general content spoilers.*

This story has a very unique and intriguing story-line with a mix of shifters, warlocks, magic, and technology. The title of the book is very telling, because the MCs end up sacrificing just about everything to be together. It gets very dramatic, and rather strange and eerie about 75% through, and took a turn I wasn't expecting. Honestly, at that point I was ready to stop listening, but I had to know how the story ended. There is an HEA in the end, and the MCs end up changed, happy, and free. Maybe that is part of the lesson...that they had to give up the things that tied them down to move on. IDK. It's not the story I was expecting, but still well-done and very emotional. It has unique attributes that I had never seen before, like the bond ache and 'muzzling' shifters to prevent them from mating. I have mixed feelings about the story, and strangely, it didn't leave me with warm feelings. Perhaps after all the drama and sacrifice, the brief showing of happiness at the end wasn't enough for me. YMMV.

The narration was excellent with the soft, meek voice of Andrew and the strong, caring voice of Timber. All the character voices were different, well-suited, and easily distinguished.

I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.
