The Engineer's Mate

The Blue Solace, Book 5

By: C.W. Gray

Narrated by: Connor Brown

Welcome back to Charybdis Station and the crew of the Blue Solace in the fifth book in this series.

Beck Brackenstone is a simple Grell. He loves his family and friends and enjoys tinkering in his shop. His greatest dream is to meet his life-mate, settle down, and raise a bunch of babies. When he finally does meet his mate, he realizes how completely unprepared he really is. How do you court an assassin? How do you keep your brain from melting when your mate smiles?

Guild Master Beol is not a simple man. He runs one of the most prominent assassins guilds in the galaxy and has a troubled past. He has responsibilities and contracts to worry about and no time for a mate. When he meets Beck, that all changes. His Grell completely bewitches him and sparks something inside him that he thought died a long time ago. The problem is that Beck has secrets that even his most trusted friends don't know, and Beol has some major trust issues.

The two men may appear to be a horrible match, but in truth, they are perfect for one another. Unfortunately, the Crellic Queen and Humans First are terrorizing the galaxy and Charybdis Station is their next target. They will need to trust one another and their friends to end the queen's path of destruction once and for all.

Author's note: This is a sci-fi/fantasy, m/m love story with no angst and no cheating, just a HEA. There is lots of action, a little sex, male pregnacny, and a few potty mouths involved in the story. 18+ listeners only, please. It is also the fifth book in a series that is best listened to in order. Listen to The Mercenary's Mate, The General's Mate, The Soldier's Mate, and The Lieutenant's Mate first.

love this series just keeps getting better

love everything about this series. well rounded characters well written story line and each one keeps me waiting on the edge of my seat for the next one.

LOVE IT!!!!

Love it! I couldn't stop listening. C.W. Gray is one of favorite authors to read and listen to. She just draws you in and you don't want to leave this series. I can't wait for more of her books.

Enjoyed for the third time.

As we enjoyed Beck and Beol story the main story continues. I’ve read the books twice and now collecting the audio. Such as difference with the audible. It makes it fun hearing it. Though the way C. W. Gray writes the books come alive in your mind. Would highly recommend this series and her others.

My favorite of the series!

Now this one is so far my favorite of the series! Beck and Beoi are so cute together. I love that Beck is just what Beoi needs. And Connor Brown does another amazing job in pulling me into the story. C.W. Gray pick the perfect narrator for this series.

Engineering my heart

One of my favorite books in the series. Another great job by the narrator.

Loved it

Beck is awesome! He is so sweet and now one of my favorites. Princess Buttercup is still my favorite pet but Dr. Bloop comes close. I'd love to see more of Stardust. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Let love win

I could go on and wax poetic about writing and characters and MM romance and sci-fi romance and mpreg but even if that is or isn't your thing, what I have found above all the great story telling in these books is acceptance. The author doesn't just make the MM romance accepting but the normal within whatever your society is. They also show how if you don't have a family or friends, you find them. You cobble together your tribe and the more open minded you are, the more accepting you are, the more you grow your heart and only happiness will follow. There will be people who don't approve but the people who do will completely outweigh those that don't. And all you have to do is find that tribe, those people that will love and protect you then wrap them around you as your shield against the haters and let love win. Thank you to the author. These stories and this huge family are soooooo needed right now ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

showdown

Beck breathed life into Beol's empty soul and gave him hope. No matter how dark the scenario, the ending is positive and the story is woven with laughter and tears. Battles, losses, some major evil is defeated finally, and the survivors regroup. I love the wierd beautiful world building. The dates and animals- awesomeness!! The narrator did a good job.
