About this listen

Omegas for alphas, and betas for betas...

Ori and Patton have been best friends since they were pups. But growing up changes everything - Ori must settle on an alpha to mate, while Patton takes on the beta's work of maintaining the walled enclave their pack lives within.

They try to make the best of it, until a wealthy suitor comes calling for Ori, and they realize neither of them can face a future without the other. And on a moonless night, Ori and Patton escape over the enclave walls, breaking both shifter and human law in their determination to reach the sanctuary of Mercy Hills.

Hunted by their own people and forced into a dangerous masquerade among the humans, their original plan - so simple and direct - turns into a twisted path toward a promise of freedom that might not even exist. Because, Mercy Hills doesn't know they're coming, and the trouble they're bringing to the enclave's doorstep may be more than those already beset shifters are willing to bear.

Finding out Ori is pregnant makes their mission that much more urgent. Omegas never mate with betas, let alone have pups with them. If their pack finds the two lovers, they'll be separated forever. But the pack never reckoned with the determination of a beta in love or the stubbornness of an omega determined to keep his mate and his baby.

Please note: This is a side story in the Mercy Hills Universe that takes place in the space between Legally Mated and Omega's Flight. It it not necessary to listen to this book to enjoy the main series.

Story: wow! The world the author built in the story is absolutely amazing! All the intricacies of the society depicted here are really fascinating and build into a riveting story of coming of age, a journey to a better life and best friends against the world. Loved it! It was hard to keep myself from devouring it in one sitting.
Narration: while the characters differentiation got a bit confusing in multiple people scenes, the voice was very nice and the cadence was really easy on the ear.

Amazing world building!

A pack with old traditions, makes Ori’s love for his best friend Patton impossible. Betas don’t mate with Omegas. But Mercy Hills seems to be a light in the darkness. Ori and Patton’s love is pure and has been forever. Ori doesn’t understand why they can’t be together. But it’s so strong that it stands the test of time and takes them on a difficult journey to freedom. Loved their happily ever after. The narrator does a great job.

Ori and Patton

I think this is one of my top ten favourite MM reads. I have already read the book 3 times, so I just enjoyed listening to the audiobook this time. And what an enjoyable listen it is.

Despite knowing the book well, I was on the edge of my seat at times from both the excellent storyline and the narration. Nick J. Russo reads with real emotion when required, but is all in for the fun times too. I love how Patton's voice matures and becomes deeper as time progresses while Ori's voice portrays so much of what he is feeling. Nick reads clearly and steadily, important for someone with hearing loss. I had no problem, either, with distinguishing different character voices.

This book was the first Mpreg romance I read with a beta and omega couple, and it opened me up to searching away from the Alpha/omega norm.

So enjoyable
