His to Lead

A Dark MM Age Gap Romance (Wasteland Temptations, Book 4)

De: E.V. Olsen

Narrado por: Aiden Snow

New Day. Fragile Bonds. Lurking Danger.

I've been a lone wolf in this broken, desolate world for four years. Until one fateful night with Cal exposes our secret desires, forging an unexpected bond despite our age difference.

But he ran afterwards. And even when he returns, the lingering pain continues to haunt me.

So I keep him at arm's length.

When old friends arrive, their presence breathes new life into our home, easing the tension between Cal and I.

Until a sadistic gang invades our haven, threatening our unconventional family and forcing us into a brutal fight for survival.

I'm ready to sacrifice everything to protect the man who owns my heart, the one who gave me purpose in this shattered world.

Cal is my light amidst the darkness, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep him safe.

A steamy short MM angsty romance set in a post apocalyptic world, featuring an Over The Top protective alpha hero and an age-gap romance.

Still waiting for more lol

It’s making more sense, things are starting to be revealed and are adding up. It’s actually starting to pick up and getting more interesting!!

This brought ALL the heat! 🔥

Story - ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Spice - 🌶🌶🌶
Narration - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

His to Lead is the 4th novella in the Wasteland Temptations series and Mac's POV. Mac and Cal are living together, but Mac still blames himself for Cal running away. He's also afraid Cal will run again, so he hides his true feelings to avoid being hurt. When Mac's army buddy Rex (and his boy toy Devon) show up, tensions rise until boundaries are set (watch yes, share no). This MM dystopian series keeps getting better because we learn more about the characters and all their emotional baggage. And chapter 4...so spicy.

The solo narration from Aiden Snow was exactly as you would imagine...perfection. Nobody compares (in my book) to Mr. Snow's uber-protective alpha voice, but we also get his performance of all the characters in this story. So so good. 5/5 stars!

I’m not crying, you’re crying!

I can’t believe is the end and ugh I want more!!!! I was not prepared for how much I would come to love this series, specially Devon and Cal. Those two stole the show for me in this book! And don’t get me started on how we can see this time around —on Mac’s pov— how their relationship FINALLY progresses into such a masterpiece I’m all fluffy inside. Aiden did brilliantly bring him Mac to life in such a way that I’m obsessed now.

I love the way EV closed the chapter on a lot of important settings of this series, yet left the door open for more (yes Joker, I’m looking at you (IYKYK)), so I can only hope this is not the last time we see of these four chaotic devils

I received and ALC and this is my honest and voluntary review.

love this series

Yes, it’s spicy, but I wish she would write a longer book. I love the characters and the plot. I am looking for more books by this author.

Little fawn

Ok so I lied before, this one is my absolute favorite out of the four!

1. Devon does NOT play about Rex 😂 the way he went for Mac every time in the beginning made me cackle
2. Mack & Cal are absolute delicious…Cal’s kink are soooo delicious I had to listen to the audio twice; back to back listen

Cal & Mack are definitely perfect for each other. They are what each other needs.

I read this one as an audiobook and Aiden Snow 😮‍💨 he has always been in my top 5 and he still doesn’t disappoint. His deep voice is everything. Gah I will probably relisten to the whole series again back to back to back.

Nice Wrap Up

This is the final book in the Wasteland Series and it wraps things up nicely. We get Mac's perspective this time and we get to see how his worry and fear has been affecting his relationship with Cal. We get to see Cal and Devon bonding and learning how to do things together and we get to see Mac and Rex's relationship. This story is short and very spicy so if you do not like light plot and heavy spice, this series is not for you. Overall I give His to Lead 3.5 stars.

The narration was great and I am very happy that they really showcased the different ages in the narrators. 5 stars for the narration.

so fun!

i’ve loved listening to this series! the narrators have done such an amazing job bringing these characters to life! i’ve had such a great time! i highly recommend listening to these

Enjoyed this series

This I believe is the final book and it brings all 4 of our men together. Of course there’s high tensions but each couple is able to offer encouragement and advice for the other couple. It was nice to see old friends back together and watch the 4 adjust to surviving the world together.

Narrator: Aiden Snow - good word what an amazing voice

Perfect End to a Fabulous Series! Stellar Narration!

His To Lead is the fourth and final audiobook in E.V. Olsen’s Wasteland Temptation series, and I am very sad to see this series end. All four books in the series are novella length, so the audiobooks are short—typically around an hour and a half each. But let me tell you, this author can pack a whole lot of yummy MM goodness into that short timeframe. When I first started this series, I honestly wasn’t expecting such short stories to have a big impact on me. But, boy, was I ever wrong! E.V. Olsen’s writing is absolutely chocked full of passion, angst, romance, and just really genuine human connection and emotion. I very quickly became invested in this series and in these wonderful characters. And with each book building on the last, by the time you get to this fourth audiobook, you are well and truly hooked. Even though it’s technically two books per couple, the characters are interrelated in the same overall story. This audiobook is the second part of Mac and Cal’s story and is told from Mac’s POV. These two are still struggling with communication, and Mac is terrified of Cal running away again and of subsequently getting his heart broken.

When Rex and his boyfriend, Devon, come to stay with them, it adds a whole new dynamic—one that’s not all good, at least in the beginning. Devon is still very possessive of Rex and jealous of Rex’s past with Mac. And, as usual, he communicates best with his fists and huge amounts of sass. I absolutely adore that feral little brat! While there are lots of growing pains, by the end, they’re one big, happy family—one that consists of two sexy, OTT alpha daddies and two gorgeous, snarky brats. Best kind of family, in my opinion! The solo narration is provided by Aiden Snow, who embodies the character of Mac perfectly. He’s delivering ALL the protective and possessive daddy vibes! He also does an excellent job of voicing the other three characters with a uniqueness that makes it immediately clear which character is speaking and ultimately makes the listener forget it’s the same actor voicing all four characters. I truly can’t recommend this audiobook series highly enough. Loved, loved, loved it!

His to Lead is the fourth book in the Wasteland Temptations series. This book is told from Mac’s POV. Cal finally came back to Mac’s house. Mac is willing to give Cal anything he asks for except to touch him. Mac scared him and now that Cal came back he doesn’t want him to leave ever again. Cal wants Mac’s touch and is going to try and convince him that he won’t ever leave again. Rex and Devon show up at Mac’s house. I have really enjoyed this series. This book does contain strong BD$M themes and may have Trigger Warnings for some.

Aiden Snow did a fantastic job narrating this book.
