Publisher's summary

Tyler Blackwood is definitely not making it to work on time. When he steps into the path of a speeding car, he’s whisked away by a flaming bird to a perilous realm of shapeshifters and magic straight out of ancient myth. He’d always wished for a chance to redo his life—but not like this.

Immediately kidnapped by monsters, Tyler is rescued by Kalistratos, a ruggedly handsome rogue with the power to shift into a phoenix. Sticking by his savior’s side—even if Kalistratos wants nothing to do with him—is the only way he’s going to find a way back home. And it’s the only way he’ll survive when everyone wants to capture him.

Here, he is an omega; valuable, alluring, and capable of bearing children. Tyler knows that’s impossible—how the hell can a man get pregnant? But when his belly mysteriously swells overnight, he realizes his journey down the rabbit hole is just beginning.

The story and how unique it is!

The narrator is very monotone, I had to repeat a few times because it slurs on and I get sidetracked thoughts elsewhere. But I love the story! So good!

Damn Good Story

MxM romance are some if my favorite stories. The ones I have read are usually on Wattpad, but this is one of the best ones I have found so far and I hope there is more to come.

the story is amazing

I love the story! It was fun, adventurous sweet, and sexy. unfortunately the virtual voice has no soul. it was better than completely monotone but there was no change in voices to denote character differences or emotion. I got this book with Kindle Unlimited and did not pay for the audiobook, I would have returned it. as it is I highly recommend you read the book because the audiobook takes away so much from The Fun of the story! Super excited for book two to come out and there is a cliffhanger warning for book 1!

Virtual voice equals no emotion

I wish I could have gotten into this one. The emotionless virtual voice kept me at arms length from embracing the characters and story line.

Just was not for me

The story dabbles into ideology that just is not for me. If I had known that the story centered around a man’s ability to get pregnant, I would not have chosen the title. The writing in and of itself is a bit elementary as well. The author consistently fails to put attributes into dialogue forcing the reader / listener to try to figure out what character is speaking before getting a sense of each character’s individual voice. Compounding these issues the virtual narrator does not have the voice quality to deliver emotion and has difficulty heteronyms like bow. Just overall not a good reading / listening experience for me.

Decent story, completely flat narration

Story itself was just alright. Typical alpha/ omega story with a bit of isekai and fantasy thrown in. But I just couldn't figure out why the narration sounded so flat, especially in high tension scenes or high heat and romantic moments. Then at the end it said it was narrated with Virtual Voice, and it all made sense. I guess I can't complain because it was free with my membership, but seriously it's a big mistake to use AI to tell a romance story. It's super tough to become emotionally invested when everything sounds dull. It was like listening to a text book.

I don't like virtual voice,the story was fun until it just limped into the very lame, 'Epilogue' out of ideas?

Turn of events!

This was an interesting story with a lot of imagination on the authors part. I did love the chemistry between Tyler and Kalistratos and the protectiveness Kalistratos had for Tyler. The end was quite the cliffhanger!
I listen to this on audio, but the next book I believe I’ll just pick up and read because the audio version had a computer generated narrator which I didn’t care for. The voice was very monotone and something that I didn’t enjoy listening to. I would prefer a real person be the narrator versus the computer! I believe I’ll also wait for the full series to be completed before I start with book two.
