His Child to Bear

(A MM Gay Bear Shifter Mpreg Alpha Omega Romance)

De: Wolf Specter

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Free Bonus Novel Included as a Free Gift Victor Heming is in a crisis -- a midlife crisis, that is. At age 29. Yes, seriously. With no one to go home to but a Ragdoll cat to tell all of his troubles, and his one and only best friend soon to be married, there's no denying the emptiness in his life. He has been virtually left at the alter by his fiancée, is consistently forgotten about by a widowed mother who rarely calls, and missing a deceased beloved father. Truthfully, Victor is at his wit's end. Despite being a prodigy in the medical field -- the youngest neurosurgeon in his division -- owning his condo outright, and a distinctive knack for making homemade concoctions from scratch, Victor Heming has come to a single conclusion: he is lonely. Victor is tired of being alone. And now, with his best friend's impending wedding -- and thus, relocation -- just around the corner, it's hard not to feel suffocated by the world around him. Little does he know, the world as he knows it is far more than it seems -- and is about to be turned on its axis when he meets a particular blue-eyed stranger...

Storyline

Didn’t like the fact that it was drawn out not enough information from a MGP book. The virtual voice sucks so bad no emotions no nothing overall book was OK performance sent.

Dropping seven hours in…

Because this book moves sooooo slowly. I can’t speak for the last six hours, but the first seven are mostly Victor getting progressively sadder.
Sorry for this early on spoiler, which I’ll put a couple lines down so it might be hidden…












but the first two hours are Victor meeting Erik (Eric?), who turns out to be a big jerk. I really think that relationship could’ve been backstory or just a couple flashbacks. Jayce (Victor’s actual love interest) makes dumb cliche mistakes that make Victor sad. Yeah, things are just now starting to look up (the upward movement in mood probably started like six hours in) but I can feel the upcoming drama (bc even if things are looking up there are still lots of problems Victor’s gotta go through/fix). At seven hours in I’m tired of being sad/mad/frustrated so I’m just not going to continue.
Syntax is decent, though there’s lots of “the brunet(te?) did xyz” or “the doctor did xyz.” It’s a better book if you like lots of angst, but it still moves sooooooo slowlyyyyyyyy. Yeah slow burn can be good, but at seven hours in, there’s been one spicy scene (one night stand type deal) and very, very minimal romance. Jayce and Victor started talking with the intent of an eventual relationship somewhere around the six hour mark. I think lot of what happened in the first six hours really didn’t need to happen for us to see. Not many scenes were actually important, many could have and probably should have been cut. Also, so far, we have nearly zero lore/world building on the supernatural side of things.
I don’t like to factor virtual voice in my ratings because it’s fine-ish, so any stars docked are from the book itself. There are worse human narrators out there.
Overall, if you really want to listen I recommend getting to the wedding and listening to everything from that night and the next day (I don’t remember exact time stamps… it’s like two hours in? Three?), then skip to six hours in or so and go from there. You really won’t miss much, and most (if not all) of that can be inferred.
