Bertram Drake, international man of mystery, leads a double life. By day he is the council’s most valuable pawn, but by night he is a traitor, aiding and abetting the dangerous leader of the organization looking to undermine dragon society—a man who goes by the name of Raven, and who is none other than the father of Bertram’s children and his beloved mate.
Kept from his family by his dangerous wild magic, Sorin is a man on a mission. As Raven—the leader of the Vanguard—his life’s purpose is to save and rehabilitate the omegas being mistreated by their cloisters, but when an unexpected discovery puts all Pedigree omegas in mortal peril, his goals shift. He must do whatever it takes to ensure no omega ends up suffering like him.
Even if it means playing the part of the villain and severing ties with his mate.
Raven: Part Two is the 92,000 word conclusion to the Forbidden Desires series. It contains eye-opening revelations, new outfits for little lizards, extremely scientific field studies, and a love that manages to conquer all. For maximum enjoyment, Raven: Part Two is best read following the events of Clutch, Bond, Mate, Swallow, Magpie, Finch, Peregrine, and Raven: Part One.

A wonderful conclusion!
Note: Some of this review will be a bit of a repeat from what I said when I reviewed Raven: Part One.
I owned a copy of all of the previous audiobooks in this series but I’d never made time to listen to them *hangs head*. When I got the opportunity to listen to Raven: Part One and Raven: Part Two for the purposes of this blog post I immediately started listening to the series from the beginning. All I can say is WOW! I’m actually happy that I waited and listened to them all one right after the other. This kept the events from each book fresh in my mind and I think reading/listening to the books in order will give you the most enjoyment.
This was a wonderful ending to an amazing series. Piper Scott and Virginia Kelly created an incredible world with amazing characters and compelling stories. I’m sorry to see it end but I’m so happy that Bertram and Raven/Sorin got the HEA they fought so hard for.
The world building for this series was wonderful; the authors truly did a great job writing all of the books. I loved everything about the stories but what made them extra special for me was the outstanding audio performances by Michael Ferraiuolo. He has been a favorite of mine since I listened to my very first audiobook he performed nearly six years ago. The voices he chose for each character in this lengthy series were perfect and distinct. I don’t know how he managed to keep them all straight but his talent as a voice actor knows no bounds.

Piper Scott’s love of reading began at age ten, when she discovered that the magical worlds in adult fantasy novels were way more exciting than playground politics. As she grew up, so did her reading habits, and now not only does she like to read books on the steamy side, but she loves to write them, too.
A Canadian by birth but an American by marriage, Piper currently resides in Southern Illinois, where she leads a quiet life with her husband, their dog, a very demanding cat, and her office mate—her pet rabbit.
