About this listen

Bertram Drake, international man of mystery, leads a double life. By day he is the council’s most valuable pawn, but by night he is a traitor, aiding and abetting the dangerous leader of the organization looking to undermine dragon society—a man who goes by the name of Raven, and who is none other than the father of Bertram’s children and his beloved mate.

Kept from his family by his dangerous wild magic, Sorin is a man on a mission. As Raven—the leader of the Vanguard—his life’s purpose is to save and rehabilitate the omegas being mistreated by their cloisters, but when an unexpected discovery puts all Pedigree omegas in mortal peril, his goals shift. He must do whatever it takes to ensure no omega ends up suffering like him.Even if it means playing the part of the villain and severing ties with his mate.

Raven: Part Two is the 92,000 word conclusion to the Forbidden Desires series. It contains eye-opening revelations, new outfits for little lizards, extremely scientific field studies, and a love that manages to conquer all. For maximum enjoyment, Raven: Part Two is best listened to following the events of Clutch, Bond, Mate, Swallow, Magpie, Finch, Peregrine, and Raven: Part One.

I read the first volumes and then listened to Raven Part One and Part Two as audiobooks. After Raven Part One, I was very curious to see if there would be a happy ending for Sorin and Betram.
First of all, the writing style is great as always. After just a short time, I was completely immersed in the story. The authors have given us a wonderful magical world in which ordinary people can transform themselves.
Sorin has to fight his own magic, because that is the reason why he has kept away from his family for centuries. He is afraid of hurting someone. He also fights for justice and for a better life for the Omegas. But unforeseen things also happen in the process, bringing powerful dragons onto the scene.
The characters are very well created and developed and continue to develop. My heart broke into a thousand pieces for Sorin, but Betram also led a life that was completely different from that of his brothers and he was more or less the outsider of the family.
But will Sorin and Betram manage to find a way to be together despite all the adversity?
The story is very entertaining, exciting, tragic, but also heartbreaking and heartwarming. There are many themes, including serious ones such as the fight for social justice, war, retribution, forgiveness and the changing times.
I was captivated by Raven Part Two from the very beginning and was almost a little sad when the story ended. But I was also infinitely happy for Bertram and Sorin! A fascinating final volume in an epic fantasy series.
The only regret I have is the fact that I didn't start listening to the audiobook until Raven. I really need to start the audiobooks from the beginning because they are exceptionally well narrated and make an already great story even better.

Michael Ferraiuolo has delivered an outstanding performance. You shouldn't miss out on this listening experience. He captured both the emotions and the accents of the protagonist perfectly. Chapeau, that was a pleasure for my ears! Highly recommend!

This audiobook is the second half of Raven/Sorin and Bertram's story, and part I must be read or listened to first.

This is my favorite of the Forbidden Desires and spin-off stories, as it brings together the events of other books and Drakes and brings a final HEA for all. There is more drama and heartache before we get to that point, though, so be aware of the trigger warnings if you have any concerns. TWs include abuse, sexual coercion, mental health issues, suicidal ideation, depression, and more. This book picks up where part I left off after the attempted kidnapping of Reynard's eggs and the destruction of the Vanguard. Sorin determines to strike out on his own to protect Bertram, and he gets more erratic and desperate in his efforts to get the Dragon Council's attention and save the remaining omegas. It broke my heart as he almost descends into madness for real, but Bertram is there to save him. Sometimes to win, you have to surrender. No spoilers, but it does work out for Sorin and Bertram. They are both willing to give up everything for the other, but will they be able to elude a vengeful Dragon Council? This book is an absolutely fantastic conclusion to Bertram and Sorin's story, as well as the entire Forbidden Desires world. The future looks much brighter for all Dragons, Omegas. former Disgraces, and all their children (human babies and whelps). I am sad to say goodbye to the Drake clan, but I am fully satisfied with the ending. Although I did want to see Sorin reunited with his children from earlier clutches, you can't have everything. It was enough to see him finally happy.

The narration by Michael Ferraiuolo is superb. He hits the characters' emotions and feelings perfectly, and it wrenches the listener's heart in the sadder and more traumatic parts. I also appreciated how the different characters' voices remained consistent throughout parts I and II of the story.

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

It pains me that this is the end of an epic series. However this volume felt so far from what I hoped for, but than again maybe my expwctations where to high feom my sight. For instance the reasoning away and to easy acceptance for the things that where done in the name of omega liberation by both Sorin, Bertram some of the Vanguard and also the dragon council repersentatives. I don't understand how some of the fiercest omega's, seem so complacent in accepting things on face value. Also there seem to be holes in knowledge of the afore mentioned There is cross contact, but apparently no information flows either way. Some explanations of experience and pivotal plot points are strangely revealesld.
In my opinion I would have hoped for a more balanced ending to the series it felt a lot of changes have been missed and an overall hea was the endgoal. I am not going into more detail since that would spoil te storyline. 📚 3+

Piper Scott and Virginia Kelly created something very special with their “Forbidden Desires” series, from the original to the spin-off, an amazing series with equally amazing characters and storylines. The world building has been phenomenal, the same for the writing and plotting, and the complexity of it all is impressive. That said, the authors delivered a worthy ending for the series and for Bertram and Sorin’s story. Sorin became one of my favorite characters in the series, which is a complete turnaround of how I felt about him going into the Raven. My heart went out to him and all he endured and the same for Bertram, whose story is also sad, just in a different way. Bertram and Sorin romance was centuries in the making, each being on their own mission and could have easily been enemies and missed out on the loves of their lives. Thankfully, they didn’t because their world is a better place because of them. It was great to see all the characters from the earlier books, especially my favorite, Harry, followed closely by everyone else, Drakes and their dragonets. I am sad to see the series end, but with every ending there is a new beginning, one I will be looking forward to. Piper Scott and Virginia Kelly, thanks again for this amazing series and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Michael Ferraiuolo’s talent knows no bounds, and he did an amazing job bringing these characters to life, humanizing them with personality and their emotions. I loved how he took each role and made it his own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. He gave each character their own distinct voice, making it easy to follow and tell who was who, and his versatility truly shines with all the different accents he used. M. Ferraiuolo is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

The series has come to an end. It's one of the reasons I held off reading/listening to it - I didn't want it to end (sad face).
The authors really outdid themselves- it was genius to see the events that happened in the past books through Raven' and Bertram's eyes. I went from disliking them to sympathising to liking them a lot. They went through so much, but they got their HEA!

Michael surely deserves an award (and record) for the most number of characters voiced in a scene! And there were several of them. He was perfect for the series, that fact shines through the last 2 books. Bravo to you, your talent is amazing!!!

What a fitting end!!
