Wet Heat

De: R. D. Hero

Narrado por: Nick J. Russo

Most omega werewolves want a mate and pups, but Lee Aung prefers an unconventional party-boy lifestyle. Yet at 42, he’s stopped going into heat, which means he’s expired goods - no longer a fertile, young omega that alpha wolves drool over. So Lee uses Wet Heat, a synthetic pheromone, to reel in the alpha hookups.

After losing his job at the bank, Lee can’t afford to keep up his Wet Heat habit. His solution: scam free samples by pretending to be a happily mated test subject at Wet Heat headquarters. There, Lee spends two years being interviewed by the reserved alpha scientist, Cain, who at 32 is unmated and - up until this point - content with that.

Cain never really felt his alpha instincts, nor took part in the usual alpha/beta/omega social dynamics. But after discovering that Lee has been lying about his unmated status for two years, Cain finally admits that for the first time, he wants to court an omega. Unfortunately, he’s picked the one omega who doesn’t want to be courted.

Story ‘light’

As far as gay romances go, this one is on the light side. Meaning that it’s light on plot and character development. I was going to say that it’s light on the paranormal side also, since there’s no shifting just ‘almost.’ But that’s a mistake since the story does focus on the relationship of Alphas & Omegas in a new & different way.
For a short story at half the price, it was an ok way to pass a mindless four hours.

A fresh take on Werewolves

Wet Heat is a fresh take on the werewolf books. I loved the different take on Alpha, Beta, Omegas and there wasn't so much focus on pack hieratics and insta-mate. I also liked that Lee was an omega and not shed as a weak clingy type. He is the opposite very feisty and pushy for not being an Alpha. I loved him.
Then we had Cain. He was different for his type of character. Didn't want pups and wasn't all domineering and bossy but could hold his own.
The storyline is unique, fast-paced and I admit I wanted more. maybe we will get Shane's story? Or more Cain and Lee?
This is a short story but very complete. The characters well rounded and the plot interesting. If you like werewolves want a fresh take, I highly suggest this!

As for the narration. It's Nick J Russo and in my book, you can't go wrong. He always has a mellow voice, great character voices, good pacing and brings the story to life.

it was so good

i did not want it to end the story is so good that it could be a series it really could it is so worth it I loved it

Fun listen.

Snarky, sexy and fun!

This was quick, entertaining, and such a fun listen with great character voices, a steady pace, and good tone. Nick J. Russo doesn't disappoint.

A bit quirky, and I was a bit sad there wasn't some more world building or any omega slick or knotting, but the whole thing was just enjoyable!

Fun story

I've never heard anything like it. Great narration by Nick J. Russo. This one will be on my steady rotation! Highly recommend!
