BOOK 1

How does a male omega is supposed to be impregnated by a female alpha.. I'm pretty sure females don't have a penis. But then this is fantasy so anything goes.

as good as the ebook

The story is always 4-5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, I’m over the half, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Marrying the best friend!

Raphael is going through tough times and his grandmother gives him a way out which was to get married. He is an omega so he asks his best friend to be his mate. The same Alpha he left on the dust years back. It’s a bit angsty and a little surreal but it’s a cute romance. I think Raph didn’t give his grandma enough credit lol

Great second chances story

This second chances story is great. It’s an omega verse mpreg tale and Raphael and Nathan are adorable. The narration is awesome, emotional. It’s generally low angst except in a few places. I got so angry at Raphael’s father and I cried at one point. I loved both grandmothers.

Good

This is a second chance books, This about a feisty omega and a caring Alpha. Raphael left so He can pursue his dreams as a tattoo artist but regrets leaving Nathan his Alpha, Nathan is left with his heart broken and can’t move on. Raphael is back in his hometown to help his family and a series of events led to a pretend marry Nathan but these two are in love with each other but will they remain marry or break up? There are a few surprises in this book so you need to read it, I love second chances and with John Solo narrative he just gave each of the characters a depth and he nailed the story as well. Really would recommend this to anyone.

I love second chance stories!

Mating of Convenience is a great second chance story and John Solo did a great job performing the audiobook. This is part of the Oceanport Omegas world but it stands alone with no problem. I haven’t yet read/listened to that series and I never felt like I was missing anything. Having said that, I now want to go back and listen to those books. 😊

I liked the multiple themes!

Tattooist, Raphael, convinces still-pining ex-boyfriend, Nathan, to get married so Raphael can access his grandmother’s wealth to help out his family. I guess I don’t have a very sweet tooth, so this ticked a lot of boxes for me: I liked the two MCs; the omega social work balanced out the sweetness of the romance; this was a story where the omega struggled to conceive and didn’t pop out a baby like a vending machine; and the story didn’t spend the bulk of its time on being pregnant, giving birth, or child rearing. I would have liked more exploration of Nathan’s hurt and mistrust, and of Raphael’s family situation - it would have given the story even more depth. John Solo provided his always playful, fun, and expert narration.

Another fantastic Audible

Really likes this a lot, I'm a sucker for second chance books, I'm also a big fan of these two authors really enjoyed reading it, but with John Solo he just gave each of the characters a depth and he nailed the story as well. Really would recommend this to anyone.

Best Friends in Love

Mating of Convenience is the first book in the Second Chances series. This series is a sequel to the Oceanport Omegas and follows the grownup kids from the first series. However, these books can be read as standalones quite easily. I suggest reading them all in order to get the maximum enjoyment from all the worldbuilding.

Nathan and Raphael are best friends who are also in love. They were dating until Raphael left Oceanport to pursue his tattooing dreams. But now Raphael is back, and all the feelings that were between Nathan and Raphael are free to bloom again. I loved this book and all the drama of the fake-yet-not-so-fake relationship between the two of them. The romance was lovely and I thoroughly enjoyed all the fluff and sweetness.
