The Engineer's Mate (Blue Solace Book 5) Kindle Edition

by C.W. Gray (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 695 ratings
Welcome back to Charybdis Station and the crew of the Blue Solace: (Fifth Book in the 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 in one another and their friends to end the Queen's path of destruction once and for all.

Author's Note: 56,000 words. 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, mpreg, and a few potty mouths involved in the story. 18+ readers only, please. It is also the fifth book in a series that is best read in order. Read "The Mercenary's Mate," "The General's Mate," "The Soldier's Mate," and "The Lieutenant's Mate" first!

I have been self-publishing m/m romance since October, 2018 and enjoy sharing my books with readers all over the world. I'm also a reader and I love to read everything I can get my hands on, especially m/m romance. My favorites are mpreg, sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal. I have four series right now.

1). My Hobson Hills Omegas series is light and sweet non-shifter mpreg. They are novella length (35,000-45,000 words) and angst-free.

2). My Blue Solace series is a sci-fi/fantasy romance and has more action and adventure. The romance, however, is still light and sweet. They are longer (40,000-60,000 words).

3). My third series is called The Silver Isles and is a paranormal mermen trilogy. They are also a little longer than Hobson Hills (45,000-50,000 words) and are low heat and light and fluffy.

4). My fourth series is a paranormal, mpreg series of holiday short stories called Holiday Omegas (10,000-14,000 words). The first few stories follow one couple as they meet, fall in love, and develop their relationship.

If you like zero angst, light and fluffy romance, give one of my books a try!

    Perhaps I missed it, but were Life, Air, and Water permanently erased? Sebastian talked about it in previous books, and it was supposed to take a long time, once started, but I'm rather surprised that the process itself seems to have been skipped in the telling of the story. There was one point where Sebastian said he was planning on starting the ritual, and one comment by Earth could indicate that it had happened, but it wasn't ever explicitly stated.

    It was awesome to see the Charybdis soldiers take the offensive against the Queen and the HF. But best of all, I loved that they were able to do so without compromising their values and desire to make the galaxy a welcome place for all life.

    This is one of a series of space operas. It currently has six books in it.
    They were enjoyable well written and if you enjoy this kind of mmpreg content I think you will enjoy the series. The books are a coherent story line and intertwined it characters completely. My only real issue is the number of characters; between people children animals and androids, it would have been valuable to have a listing of who is who and how they connect.

    There is so much detail and it’s amazing how much of a story can be told with so few pages. I never feel like something wasn’t covered or cut short. Some the best writing I’ve seen. The story is adventure, thrill, romance, sci-fi, and a little mystery thrown in. So many good things I cant find the words to explain the awesomeness that is this author and story. Thank you for putting this out for us humans!

    I've really enjoyed this series and the grumpy assassin guild master is a favorite. One thing I wish is that the books would include a list of characters listed by their family or affiliation. There are a lot of names thrown around and you're just supposed to remember who they are and how they are connected.

    This author is getting better and better, which considering she started at really good is brilliant. This series has to be read in order, but each individual love story is incredibly sweet and the overall arch of the story is well thought out, intricate and totally unpredictable! Love this author's work.
