Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow, my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along.

When the vampire stalking me sent me a letter, I was prepared for my new life with the man I love to get thrown into chaos. But as the days stretch on and nothing happens, I become determined not to allow that monster to rule my life and decide that Marcus and I will move on. We can’t always allow the past to haunt us. If that includes pestering Marcus and harassing my fellow detectives, they’d better learn to love it because I’m not going anywhere, even if they like to remind me I’m the only human working in a department filled with vampires.

Getting into the vampire-only detective unit was the easy part. What’s going to be more difficult is dealing with my new partner - an ancient vampire who keeps threatening to eat me. The unit has never had a human in it. Marcus - or, as I like to call him: Fangy McFangface - would really prefer to keep it that way. He’s grumpy, short-tempered, and broody, but I have a way with words, and I know he’s starting to like me, even if he swears he’s not.

If only I could keep the house from being overrun by Leland’s gun shrine - or stop him from making our cases “more exciting” by terrorizing people into confessing. Overall, life seems perfect, right?

Publisher's Summary
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.

Interesting story
I enjoyed the way this novel built on the world that it spun off from. Lots of cameos from past couples, which could get overwhelming for a new listener. Wally certainly had a ton of trauma to work through, it felt like he maybe got over past mistreatment a touch too easily. The villain was enjoyable to hate. Courtship by dessert is a win, and I enjoyed the way Wally's favorite fandom carried through with little details and larger themes. Well narrated, emotional listen.

Fantastic!
I love all of the audio books in this series. The narrator does a fantastic job bringing all of these characters to life. I was very excited that the narrator didn't change how Grimbold sounds. I was afraid that he would try to tone down the gruffness of the character's voice as it sounds in the other three books. But he doesn't do that and I absolutely loved it. Fantastic job.

Nice job Scott and Kelly
Awesome narrating by Michael Ferraiuolo, as always. Nice to hear his music too. Great short listen to tie up a really great series. Nice to see Grimbold get another chance at love and a mate. No one deserves a solitary life. Wally so deserves a HEA and a family to Love and protect him... Hopefully there are more stories to come, I'm a fan of the Scott, Kelly team of writing. Well worth you credit and your time. Enjoy the cameos from the forbidden desires series cast of characters...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wally's New Start
Swallow is the fourth book in the Forbidden Desires series, a paranormal series with dragon shifters and A/B/O dynamics. Although this book states it is the first book in the Forbidden Desires Spin-Off series, I fully suggest reading the previous three books of the Forbidden Desires series. Swallow is a short novella that features Grimbold Drake and Wally, the shy omega who’s been abused as he grew up. Grimbold and Wally’s relationship was sweet and delightful and I really enjoyed this book. The story was well crafted with sweet moments and some great sexy scenes. The audiobook was narrated by Michael Ferraiuolo who narrated the previous books in the series. Michael did a great job with this narration and performed the book well. I really enjoyed listening to this book and was engaged with the story the entire time.

It’s Grandpa Grimmy’s turn
An omega who has been treated very unkindly who is fragile and scared meets a kind, sweet, protective, dragon. Wally had no idea such a thing existed. Grim is finally settled and he’s so sweet I think I got a cavity. Good addition to the series.

A so-so decent novella
This was by far a definite miss for me but I enjoyed the expansion of the story in a epilogue feeling last few chapters. I don't really recommend this unless you absolutely need more of this universe. It doesn't really add much, it features one l short Erotic scene towards the end and the relationship is very cringe at times. The introduction of such a damaged loved interest was slightly a drag. I really didn't like how extreme and hopeless it felt. Any story about fixing a damaged person is never really my cup of tea. I felt disconnected to it as well. The love interest felt undeveloped and barely any back story or attachment ever occurred to me that get you to care about him. This also did not feel like a 'spin off' especially when so much of the original story is its building blocks and it takes place after the events of prior books. It feels just like a perspective change, it feel like any other sequel except this time you get less for your money.

Grimbold was good - Rest of the series is better.
Enjoyed this entire series - Michael F is fantastic narrator. These two know how to write fantasy - you laugh, you enjoy - and you get background, which is big to me, important to know the characters. I enjoy this for the days you just want a little bit of calming entertainment - lighthearted and joyful - and just a little bit whimsical!

A wonderful age gap omegaverse
First of all don’t let the length of the story fool you. Though it a novella the story is well developed and the characters are well rounded. I love seeing this side of the head of the amethyst clan. His care and compassion for Swallow(Walter) moved me to tears. Walter is so broken by the abuse he suffered in his clan’s hands and I love how well suited they are. Totally enjoyed the immersive experience that is Michael’s narration. He just brought out all the feels. I will definitely recommend you listen to the previous books in the series because of the world building. The characters from previous books do have cameo in this one and I don’t know how he kept them straight in his head. Get it! Worth every penny.

Great book, great series
Read and listened to the audio versions of this book. I loved it so much I had to read it twice. The series is so good, especially if you like dragons and Mpreg. The details and the characters are lovely even when the characters are flawed. But always am HEA even for the most unlikely. A great read. Thank you.

Daddy dragon and his little Wally
I've been greatly enjoying this series by Piper Scott and Virginia Kelly, and Michael Ferraiuolo does a wonderful job of bringing the dragons and their people to life. This was a fun insight into the big daddy of the Amethyst clan and head of the Dragon Council. He's certainly taken by surprise when Wally creeps timidly into his life. I love Wally he's such a sweet, gentle soul and I'm glad that Daddy Drake nurtures and cherishes him as he so desperately needs. Highly recommended fun dragon MPreg story.

4.75* of dragon greatness
The first in a spin off series following the events in the brilliant Forbidden Desires series written by Piper Scott and Virginia Kelly, narrated wonderfully by Michael Ferraiuolo. We are back with the dragons, yay, and Geoffrey, Everard and Harry make appearances as Grimbold comes face to face with the neglect and abuse his lack of attention has caused and has regret, shame and guilt for that in the form of the young dragonet Wally, who has had a traumatic beginning, I’m not giving anymore away. I loved the first series and this spin off is just as good so if you like hot dragons, who like to claim what is theirs, then this is the book/series for you.

The Forbidden Desires series was one of my top audiobook favorites last year, and Swallow, its first spin-off, was just about as amazing. Michael Ferraiuolo is one of my favorite narrators and while I wasn't sure I was going to like listening to Daddy Grimwold's voice for too long—he sounds old, which well, he is and I already knew after listening to the Forbidden Desires series, LOL—but he looks hot on the cover, so it kind of ruined the fantasy for me at first. However, Michael's performance and Piper and Virginia's words won me over to the dark side and I ended up loving him despite Grimwold sounding old. Hahahahaha! He was so patient and gentle with Wally, despite being a formidable clan master and a centuries-old dragon. Wally was sweet and Michael captured that perfectly. And of course, getting to revisit my favorites, Everard and Harry, was delightful, too, which, coupled with a strong storyline and some fun, hot and even jaw-dropping, twists and turns, made for a great start to this new spin-off series. I'm already looking forward to more and I can't recommend this audiobook enough.

Great dragon tale.
I wasn’t the biggest fan of Grimbold from what we saw of him before, however Swallow changed that and now I love him. Poor Wally has had such a bad past and my heart really broke for him. I loved how Grimbold helped him come into his own. The narration really worked and I loved all the characters as portrayed by the narrator.

Grimbold!
Grimbold is an ancient and powerful dragon. He gets to take care of Wally, a very shy and misguided omega. Their relationship is one that has to be handled with outmost care since Wally has been made to suffer and everything makes him suspicious and untrusting. It’s a very different story but one with lots of heart. The voice of Grimbold threw me off a bit but I am a fan of Ferraiuolo so I won’t hold it against him.

I love Wally (walter) he is so sweet, he just tugs at your heart strings and the narrator did his voice beautifully. It was lovely seeing a sweet and caring side from Grimbold. I have loved every book in this series and harry still makes me laugh

Great story, not a stand alone
I received an ARC of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this spin off story. It was such a sweet tale and great to see Swallow get his well deserved HEA. Although the story is about one couple, you get to see the established couple and their children too, which adds to the fun. Michael Ferraiuolo does a great job. as the characters were already established the voices can't be changed but, and this is just my personal taste and no reflection on Michael at all, I couldn't find Grimbold's accent sexy.

Fun, tender and moving hurt / comfort story!
I don’t normally like shorter stories but this was exceptional. Head of the Amethyst Clan, Grimwald Drake, is a very old and powerful dragon. When one of his sons brings Grimwald a broken omega called Swallow (Wally), the pair embark on a journey of healing and trust. This was a very tender and moving story. Wally has been systematically physically and mentally abused and brainwashed; he has no hope or trust and his thoughts and reactions are well-written. I enjoyed Wally’s focus on Buffy, The Vampire Slayer - one of my all-time favourite shows. 🎧 Michael Ferraiuolo again puts in a superb performance, his vocal range stretches from the deep, gruff Grimwald, the smooth tones of Everard, the squeaky voice of Harry, all the way to the soft tones of Wally.

Masterful!!
Make sure you’ve read the Forbidden Desires series (Clutch, Bond, Mate) before starting Swallow as you will need the background to get the most out of this very sweet and delightful story. Piper and Virginia have once again excelled at this shifter/MPreg tale incorporating some hurt/comfort elements – as well as making me want to eat a bunch of eclairs! This whole universe is one of my most favourite things ever and Swallow creates even more depth and sweetness to the Drake empire. The Audio is also superb with a masterful performance by Michael Ferraiuolo which just adds a whole new layer to the pleasure!
