Michael Ferraiuolo
Grimbold Drake, influential patriarch of the Drake family, revels in his solitary life of order - a life which is thrown into chaos when his son pays him an unexpected visit, bringing with him a broken but gorgeous young man more than a millennium Grimbold’s junior. A man Grimbold instantly finds himself yearning to fix, protect, and claim.
Meek, subservient, and eager to please, Wally Brand doesn’t doubt the tales he’s been told of the cruel and deceitful Amethyst clan. So, when he’s forcibly taken from his home and entrusted to Grimbold Drake - the most powerful Amethyst dragon of all - he knows he won’t be long for this world.
Only, there’s a gleam in Grimbold’s eyes when he looks Wally’s way and a tenderness to his touch that Wally can’t understand. All he knows is one thing: Whether Grimbold means him harm or not, if he can be good to his dragon captor, maybe...just maybe, he’ll get out of this mess alive.
Swallow is a steamy omegaverse mpreg-ish romance set following the events of the Forbidden Desires series. It contains a broken young man who badly needs love, a curmudgeonly dragon with a heart of gold, new nicknames, familiar faces, and the sweetest dog known to dragonkind.
For maximum enjoyment, Swallow is best listened to as a companion piece to the Forbidden Desires series.

Plus there are some bonus visits from a few of our favorite characters, and scenes of Grandad Grim!
Michael Ferraiuolo is always spectacular and he rises to the occasion in Swallow. One of his finest talents is his range and variety of voices, and the stories in Piper Scott & Virginia Kelly's Forbidden Desires series are a wonderful showcase for this amazing performer.
an audiobook copy of Swallow was provided to me for the purpose of my review
Wonderful & Ferraiuolo is Marvelous!

When Grimbald is presented with Swallow, he’s being asked only for his advice. He sees a chance to help the young man so he steps up. Swallow (and let’s be honest, I hadn’t been thinking of the bird when I heard the title) hates his name, is terrified of dragons, and just wants to escape. He calls himself Wally but Grimbald dismisses such a plain name. Instead, he settles on Walter, taking away what little autonomy Wally has.
My heart broke over and over and over as Wally’s time in the cloister was revisited. There is a special place in hell for people like his abusers. I loved that Grimbald kept telling him over and over that he wasn’t a disgrace or a mistake. And the showdown with his sire was something to behold.
I enjoyed this book because I got to revisit with so many of my favorite characters (hello Harry and his lizard Steve). I also had a great time because I got to listen to the incomparable Michael Ferraiuolo. He’s done a great job with all the books in this series and this one is no exception. I’m always impressed by the quality of his work and I especially love the haughtiness of the dragons. This was a lovely book with a heart-warming ending, a lovely whelp, and a beautiful dog. What more could I have asked for?
Wally and Grimbald and Joy

🔥🔥🔥🔥 Heat Level: 4
🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 Narration: 5! Perfection!!
Absolutely amazing story and performance!
I can’t get enough of this world, these dragons and Michael’s voices!! Such an amazing performance and that’s what Michael has done: performed, perfectly!
I love Grimbold and loved getting a look into what makes the Drake patriarch tick and his poor sweet boy Wally or Walter was just adorable. I loved the dynamics between these two and of course all the cameos from the rest of the Drakes.
I felt for Wally and his tortured past and loved how Grimbald handled him and became all he needed. It was funny to see the big strong, somewhat stoic, Drake melt under Wally’s innocence and affections.
I also loved all the Buffy references!! Such an enchanting world. I can’t wait for more, in any form – gimme!!!
Thanks for reading!
Absolutely amazing story and performance!
