Slow Heat

De: Leta Blake

Narrado por: Michael Ferraiuolo

A lustful young alpha meets his match in an older omega with a past.

Professor Vale Aman has crafted a good life for himself. An unbonded omega in his mid-30s, he's long since given up hope that he'll meet a compatible alpha, let alone his destined mate. He's fulfilled by his career, his poetry, his cat, and his friends.

When Jason Sabel, a much younger alpha, imprints on Vale in a shocking and public way, longings are ignited that can't be ignored. Fighting their strong sexual urges, Jason and Vale must agree to contract with each other before they can consummate their passion.

But for Vale, being with Jason means giving up his independence and placing his future in the hands of an untested alpha - as well as facing the scars of his own tumultuous past. He isn't sure it's worth it. But Jason isn't giving up his destined mate without a fight.

This is a stand-alone gay romance novel, 118,000 words, with a strong HFN ending, as well as a well-crafted, non-shifter omegaverse, with alphas, betas, omegas, male pregnancy, heat, and knotting. Content warning for pregnancy loss and aftermath.

Great story and superb narration

Very hot and sweet. Mildly angsty and definitely a slow burn. Great characters and storyline. Narrator was the perfection. Highly recommend!

Amazing Lovely Story!

Lovely! Amazing story, Original, heartfelt. An automatic reread! The characters are well developed, and can be followed through the whole series

Phenomenal Writer

Great story to get lost in. Very talented writer who creates stories that are thoughtful, insightful and spicy 🌶

Fabulous story, wonderful narration.

OMG – I love this story and narrator. This is my first Leta Blake book and my first audio book performed by Michael Ferraiuolo. I've found a new-to-me voice actor to follow as well as a new-to-me author.

I never thought I'd like another voice actor as much as Joel Leslie but Michael Ferraiuolo is giving him a run for his money. Once I started listening to Slow Heat I just couldn't stop. The different voices Michael does are fabulous and I devoured this audio as much as I would have if it were a book I was reading. One minor note: I thought his speech was a bit slow so I listened to this at 1.25 speed and liked it better.

This story really has all the feels. It's an Omegaverse story (non-shifter, alphas, betas, omegas, MPreg) featuring a younger alpha, Jason and his older omega, Vale. Slow Heat is one of the best books I've listened to this year and I can't recommend it enough.

While Slow Heat is a standalone story (118,000 words / 14h 7m) I was happy to find out that Jason's friend, Xan has his own book, Alpha Heat, only available in ebook at this point but I do hope that Michael Ferraiuolo will be doing an audio version soon.

A copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.
