Özet

Bertram Drake, the most mysterious Drake brother, leads a life shrouded in secrecy. Taken from his brothers at a young age and shaped into a weapon to be used by the dragon council, he has one sole purpose: obey the orders given to him, no matter what they might be.

Once a perfect jewel of the Pedigree, Sorin’s sparkle has been dulled. Taken from his cloister and sold regularly to the highest bidder, he has learned two vital truths.

The first: that dragons are monsters who will stop at nothing to get what they want. And the second, most terrible truth of all: that egg madness is a lie—omegas are not saved from a lifetime of pain even when they are separated from their eggs.

When Sorin’s newest buyer mysteriously dies, Sorin sees it as his chance to escape from the hellish life he’s been forced to lead. The only obstacle? A handsome agent of the council who has been tasked with ending his life.… and who has custody of his eggs.

Raven: Part One is a 100,000 word omegaverse mpreg-ish romance set prior to the events of the Forbidden Desires series. It contains action, adventure, heartbreak, laughter, and more than its fair share of steam. For maximum enjoyment, Raven: Part One is best listened to following the events of Clutch, Bond, Mate, Swallow, Magpie, Finch, and Peregrine.

My heart shattered into a billion pieces when reading Raven’s story. His past wasn’t pretty: it was full of pain, despair and helplessness. Crossing paths with Bertram put Raven on a new path.

Bertram and Raven’s story began decades ago and they’ve spent more time apart, than together. Will they get their HEA before Raven is lost? I hope so because I’m rooting for them.

Narrator was amazing as always!

This is a fascinating series, one that has blown me away from the first book “Clutch” and it is definitely a binge worthy series, so if you haven’t started yet, what are you waiting for? The writing, plot and world building is absolutely brilliant, as are the character growth and development, from the get go. Raven is the series finale and in this book the authors give you Bertram Drake and Sorin/Raven’s story, both characters have appeared in earlier books, but little is known about them, so the authors take you back in time to their beginning, singly and how they are connected. I won’t give anything away, but my opinion of both characters was unfavorable in the earlier books, especially Raven, yet that has shifted now that their true selves and motivations have been revealed. I still have some unanswered questions and am hoping all the pieces fall in place in the second part, because there is definitely more to come. Piper Scott and Virginia Kelly, that you for this amazing story and wild and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Michael Ferraiuolo delivers an outstanding performance, bringing the characters and story to life from the pages to your ears. He has a complete understanding of the characters he is portraying, giving each a voice that is both fitting and believable. His take on the two leads is absolute perfection, grasping every aspect of their personality, and he is just as amazing performing the roles of all the side characters, too. You can hear how much heart he puts into his performance as he captures all the characters’ emotions and has you feeling them all. Ferraiuolo is a versatile voice artist and an entertaining storyteller who elevates this already brilliant story to another level. Thank you for another fantastic listen.

I have to admit, I can't finish this book right now, because I've been crying for an hour and I'm exhausted. The first books in this series are a lot more light hearted, but I knew this one wouldn't be. There have been enough hints throughout the series that I knew the story og Soren and Bertram would be really painful. Fortunately, most readers are not as easily touched as I am, so there is no reason to avoid this book! Far from it, the storytelling and humour and adventure from the other books are just as present, and once I've calmed down I very much look forward to finishing this one. Heartily, though tearfully, recommend!

How precisely did we get to book EIGHT???? I’ve listened to the other seven books in the Forbidden Desire series…so math means that if you read seven then eight is next.

Right.

Only I’ll say the last one was a few years ago and I wasn’t able to do a relisten of the previous seven books. Wish I’d had the time. If you do, I recommend submersing yourself in the world Piper and Virginia have created and enjoy every last book. If you can’t, though, know you can listen to Raven and still love it.

I didn’t remember Sorin from the earlier books, and Bertram was the brother we heard from least. So getting their stories was almost like starting fresh. This is, in essence, a love story. A great love story. But Sorin’s past hurts make it hard to trust, and Bertram is an agent for the dragon council with his own agenda. When he finds Sorin and hears of his plight, he can’t help but intervene. When they fall in love, the men can’t help but try to find a way to be together.

Alas, they are on opposites sides. A dragon steeped in tradition and an omega formerly from the pedigree who wants that institution abolished. In the end, those opposing sides create a conflict that seems impossible to overcome.

Now, I will say this book comes with some trigger warnings. I didn’t read them as I’m pretty sturdy, but there were some very painful moments in this book. If you need to, check them out. I’ll also say I have part 2 ready to listen – I was grateful they came out so close together.

As always, Michael Ferraiuolo’s performance was a virtuoso. He sank back into the world and all the characters were as he’d previously voiced them. For me, it was like coming home to old friends. Truly, these are wonderful books, made all the more spectacular for Michael’s great narration. Okay, off to part 2…

Wow…just…wow

I had a feeling that Raven would force me to reevaluate everything I thought I knew about Bertram and his mate, and that's absolutely what this story did. Piece by piece, I learned the unedited truth of Sorin's past, experienced a small fraction of the horrors that shaped him into the man I met throughout the rest of the series, and fell head over heels for his and Bertram's love connection. I genuinely didn't know how happy this book would be, but despite all of the horrible truths there were plenty of sweet and satisfying moments as Bertram and Sorin fell in love. Bertram was such a mysterious and unknown brother throughout the rest of this series, so finally getting to uncover some of his secrets and see what a good heart he had felt even more exciting to me. His connection with Sorin grew slowly, and at first they were absolutely enemies, but over time their preconceived ideas about each other shifted until the last of their reservations had vanished entirely. I really enjoyed seeing Bertram's perspective shift over time as he started to believe Sorin about his awful mistreatment at the hands of dragons, and seeing him get personally involved in the fight to free omegas was awesome. Sorin's trust initially only extended as far as Bertram would allow him access to his children, but over time they grew into such a sweet family unit with lots of happy memories together. That's not to say that all of this story was happy--Bertram and Sorin's relationship could only ever be a secret, and as a result they had long periods of separation that weighed on each of them. Sorin was also dealing with severe mental and emotional trauma from his past, and he had to fight every day to keep the negative voices in his head from taking over. There was also the sinister mystery of Sorin's power hanging over their heads, business with the dragon council forcing them apart, and Drake family surprise visits to keep them on their toes, but Bertram and Sorin never wavered in their love for one another. Life threw so much at the two of them, and still every time they came together it was a joyous, passionate reunion with deep love tying them together. I can't wait to see where the second half of their journey will take them, and I'm already bracing myself for some difficult moments before (hopefully) they get their happy ending.

**I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this book. This review expresses my honest thoughts and opinions.

Absolutely amazing!
