Mate Match, the love matching app with the highest success rate in the market! No one can beat us at finding loving, long-term romantic relationships for our members. We use in-depth questionnaires to get to the heart of what you want in a partner, or partners.

Worried about his upcoming heat, Jae signs up for the Mate Match app to find an alpha, not only to get him through it, but for an actual partnership, something he hasn't experienced before. When he meets Curtis, the strength of their connection sends him into an early heat. He asks Curtis to take him through it and is surprised at their compatibility in and out of the bedroom. Could Mate Match have really found him someone special?

When Curtis was pushed into signing up for the app by his friends, he truly didn't expect to be matched with someone as sweet and sexy as Jae. He was even more shocked to be asked to go through a heat with the omega. Can he convince Jae to take a chance on him for something more?

A surprise pregnancy threatens their relationship, putting their Mate Match to the test.

Mate Match: Curtis & Jae was previously released in the Knotting Hearts Charity Anthology. The story has since been expanded with more than 20k of additional content. You can expect this MM omegaverse, mpreg story to have a whole lot of fluffy sweetness, heat, and a cute baby.

Matchmaking for the win in omegaverse

First in series (Mate Match). Audio. Omegaverse. Mpreg. POC representation. Dual POV. Heed content warnings.

A matchmaking app that pairs a confident omega with a cinnamon roll Alpha. Both Curtis and Jae are looking for something long term when they meet through a dating app, and luckily the app has done an amazing job. J

ae is an omega that wants to continue his illustrating career even if he has a family and Curtis is a supportive Alpha that will give Jae everything he wants. Even an oops baby doesn’t make Curtis and jae hesitate, as they are both smitten and committed to seeing if they can have a lifelong partnership. I appreciated that the relationship was not angsty and their family and friends circled them in only supportive ways. I look forward to more stories from this universe.

The audio narration was entertaining but maybe not as effusive as I prefer. I did have to remember who’s POV the chapter was expressing at times. But overall a sweet story and a nice listen.

Curtis & Jae

Performance: Calm and soothing is how I would describe Sebastian’s narration. There is not a huge difference in intonation between the characters voices for Curtis and Jae. There is a more pronounced difference between the male and female characters. This doesn’t impact the pleasure of the narration. It’s just a difference in how each narrator performs their story.

Story: I really enjoyed this story! I love Omegaverse and mpreg even when it is not shifter related. It really is nice to read about a man going through pregnancy. Hehe.

Curtis is a small business owner. He owns his own contractor business, works hard, and rarely dates. He is looking more for a permanent relationship rather than a hook up. Jae is a book illustrator and soon to be published author. He is fresh out of a relationship that didn’t work and is looking for that special Alpha that will love him and also support his dreams.

Curtis and Jae are so cute and really deserved their happy ending. I love that the story is based on finding true love using a dating app. Both of the main characters are doubtful at first, so their story opens with them texting each other. To me this is a fast paced story that gets you from meet cute to marriage quickly. I’m a fan of insta-love and happy endings, but I need more than steam and sexiness. Jax Stuart writes this book with enough plot to make the story more than that. There is a bit of legal drama and family drama and a whole lot of acceptance and love. It is a feel good story that is a quick read and a quick listen for days when you just need something happy.

Sweet and adorable

Curtis and Jae were so cute and adorable together. They both had some insecurities thanks to past experiences, and their hurdles along the way, but what I loved the most was their support to each other, their communication, and the friends that made their match possible.
It did have some sensitive subjects, but I liked how everything seemed to fall in its place, how amends were made from those that wronged our characters, and how fighting for a good cause created unexpected developments and connections.
I liked the story and the way the narrator brought to life the events, but there were some instances where the voices were very alike and was difficult to distinguish the characters.
I really am looking forward to the next adventure as there’s a certain character that I hope to see in the future.

loved it

Mate Match: Curtis & Jae is the story of Jae an omega and Curtis an alpha. I loved this sweet easy story. Jae and Curtis are both wonderful guys who are perfect for each other. This story had me shedding many happy tears. This low angst story was a great way to spend some reading time. I loved the secondary characters and hope we get more books about some of them. If get the audio narration, Sebastian Schug does a wonderful job of narrating this book. He makes the change in characters seamlessly. He made the story fun to listen to. I can't wait to listen to the next book he does. I would definitely recommend this book.

Short & sweet

First the narration, I did not enjoy this. The cadence was so wonky. Long pauses where they didn’t fit. Odd emphasizes where they didn’t make sense. I did get the ebook to compare to make sure it was not written how I was hearing it. It was narrated with inflections that don’t exist in the book. I tried all different speeds even from 1-1.5x, 1.45x seemed to be the most natural for the pauses, but too fast for the rest. The voice was great, I never struggled to know which POV it was. Pronunciation was clear and he easy to understand. There were a couple words that didn’t match the text and one instance, that I noticed, where the wrong pronoun was used which was slightly confusing.
Second, the actual story, I would’ve enjoyed this as an eyeball read. It was sweet, no angst. I like the matching agency idea.
So I’m really not sure where exactly to rate this. Story good, narration lacking.
