Mate (Forbidden Desires #3) by Piper Scott, Virginia Kelly







Blurb

Spitfire Disgrace Matthieu Boudreaux has one wish: to age out of the Pedigree he despises, then destroy it. With one year left before he achieves the first step of his goal, Matthieu finally has some hope for an independent future… until a surly Amethyst dragon by the name of Geoffrey Drake and his entourage show up at Matthieu’s cloister and inform him he’s been selected to be part of an ‘experiment.’

Geoffrey Drake, proud and stuffy legal counsel for the Amethyst clan, has been charged with ruining his own life. His mission? Deliver a potential mate to the son of the Amethyst clan’s most despised enemy—and the man he’s loved in secret for the last hundred years—Topaz dragon Ian Brand. Refusal is impossible. Dragons don’t consort with dragons, and should Geoffrey decline, he risks exposing them both.

Ian Brand, charming black sheep of the Topaz clan, is trapped between his forbidden love for an Amethyst dragon centuries his senior and his duty to his family. Chosen by his unhinged father to be the Topaz candidate for the mating experiment, Ian is faced with a terrible choice: run away with the man he loves and face the deadly consequences, or accept his fate with a broken heart.

But dragon magic, as Matthieu, Geoffrey, and Ian soon discover, works in mysterious ways. When an unforeseeable circumstance draws them all together and puts their futures at risk, they have no choice but to set their differences aside and work together to prove a new, startling truth…

What the dragon world knows about mates has been wrong all along, and it will be up to the three of them to prove it.

Mate is a 103,000 word steamy omegaverse mpreg-ish romance that will leave you in stitches. It contains an experiment gone awry, five eccentric peacocks, an unusually large number of whelps, an ancient Viking Daddy dragon, and science! For maximum enjoyment, Mate is best read following the events of Clutch and Bond.


Review 
My Rating - 5 Stars!


Upon reading Mate, I am reminded of how amazing Piper Scott and Virginia Kelly's Forbidden Desires series is. It's not like my typical contemporary reads, but it's fantastic.

It's a world of dragons, clutches that are so sweet to read about, and some wonderful baby dragons. And I love every second of it. The writing is ingenious, loaded with creativity, full of humor, and it's downright emotional.

In Mate, we are treated to more of our favorite characters, in addition to the love story of Matthieu, Geoffrey, and Ian, which is unique and a whole lot of fun. In a complicated tale, the three end up together, making the best of a bad situation. Their relationship is superb, full of emotions, fear, suspense,  discovery, and jealousy. And even better yet, the twists and turns are non-stop.


And damn, this story is hot! Don't forget, it's not your typical menage, as they're two alpha dragons and an omega. Thrown together against their will, they discover that their chemistry is off the charts.


As we've come to expect from this writing duo, Mate is hysterical, full of many laughs and chuckles. I would love to mention some of them here, but I don't want to give anything away. 

In general, this writing pair excels in their creativity, their humor, and their writing style. They continually impress the hell out of me. And men made me worry, swoon, smile, and more. I adore everything about Geoffrey when he's upset. His sullen manner and obvious jealousy are perfectly described. 

I have to pause for a second to talk about Darwin. I love Darwin, and find myself smiling as soon as he's mentioned. But all the babies are scene stealers. 

If you haven't read the Forbidden Desires series yet, do yourself a favor and go back and start with Clutch. Now. They all should be read in order to get the most out of them. Each book has a new couple introduced, while continuing the ongoing storyline. Mate, and the rest of the series is phenomenal. In fact, Mate has become my new favorite in the series, as we get further and further into this world.
