Soren: Vampire's Mate, Book 2 Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Gabe Kingman has never been great with his emotions. His disastrous personal life is evidence enough of that. Returning to be a doctor in his small Colorado hometown was supposed to bring him closer to his family, not push them even further away. He’s been slowly working to repair the mistakes he’s made, but his efforts aren’t made any easier by the new existence of vampires in his world. Especially one pesky, annoyingly beautiful vampire in particular.

Soren Iversen never meant to stay in Hyde Park this long. He hasn’t kept himself alive for centuries by letting himself be a sitting duck. But instead of moving on months ago, he’s been kicking his heels in the most boring town in the world, hoping for one stubborn, annoyingly compelling human to pay him even a bit of attention.

When circumstances force the two of them together, Soren’s obsession and Gabe’s unwilling attraction are brought to a head. But Soren has been running for a reason, and the skeletons in his closet threaten to tear the couple apart before they can even begin.

Soren is a heated fated-mates MM paranormal romance with an HEA and no cliff-hanger. It contains a stubborn, emotionally repressed ICU doctor and a bratty, slightly unhinged vampire not afraid to stalk a man to get what he wants. It also contains steamy scenes between two men and the moderate violence (and mentions of blood) that one might expect from a vampire romance. This book can be listened to as a stand-alone, but the series is best enjoyed in order.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh sweet sassy perfect Soren
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2024

This entire series is fantastic, but this book is easily my favorite and one of my favorite books ever. Soren and Gage are so swoony and sexy. The build up of Soren's and Gage's relationship in book 1 made for a delicious climax when the two finally got together. Soren's character is perhaps my favorite kind- a sassy sarcastic MC who has a heart of gold for the people he loves. He is perfectly matched with Gabe, a character who appears to be broody and to have it all but is actually desperate to feel loved and drowns himself in feelings of guilt and not being good enough. I absolutely loved their chemistry and slow build of their relationship, and especially loved when they finally succumb to their feelings and jump head first into being together. As with book 1, I loved the side characters. We get to see bits of Danny and Roman and get to meet the sweetest baby angel, Jay. I adore this series and can't wait for more to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun, satisfying read

Soren is the second book in the Vampire's Mate series. The story this time focused on Soren and Gabe who were both supporting characters in the previous book, Roman.

From the moment these two met, you know that they'd end up together. The tension and chemistry that they had was just really out there. Like in Roman, we have the fated mates trope here. It was interesting to read the dynamics between these two and how their relationship developed. Both were so different in personalities one would think they'd be more clashes, but surprisingly they got along pretty well.

Soren was such a delight. He's snarky, bratty, sweet and utterly comfortable with who he is and oh so vulnerable. His refusal to initially admit his feelings for Gabe and the need to always leave and not stay in one place made so much sense after we learn more about Soren's past.

I didn't initially liked Gabe, but this story redeemed him in my eyes. Seeing his own burdens to carry, the overwhelming emotions he's having a hard time to process and the way he tried repair his relationships added so much layer and character development.

Overall, Soren was a fun, wonderfully paced paranormal romance with delightful characters and a well-earned HEA. I do recommend giving this book series a read starting with Roman.

This would be 4.25 stars out of 5 stars.

5 stars - I loved it!

After falling in love with Soren in the first book I knew I was going to enjoy this book and it did not disappoint. This book takes place a year after the events in the first book. Gabe is still coming to terms with the existence of vampires and still struggling to be a decent brother and son. When Danny and Roman leave for their honeymoon, Gabe finds himself babysitting their dog with Soren and now he can’t ignore his feelings for him.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this couple because I honestly didn’t really like Gabe in the first book. Gabe is dealing with anxiety and the conflicting feelings from his childhood, which has caused him to push his brother and mother away. He desperately wants to reconnect with his family but struggles to bridge the gap. Gabe had wonderful character development in this book. We see him go from a anxious man struggling with his actions, or lack thereof, to a man who is finding happiness and peace in the arms of a vampire. For a character that I didn’t like at first, I ended up really loving Gabe.

“But Soren. Soren had made Gabe better. More open, less fearful. Gabe could accept magic in his life, if Soren came with it.”

Soren was a snarky, bratty vampire who has kept everyone at a distance due to his past. Soren was a character that I instantly fell in love with and I just ended up loving him more after getting to know about his past. I loved seeing Soren let Gabe in and open up about his past with him. Also, I adored all the cuddling and Soren pretending he didn’t like it. It was just so cute.

These two had an intense and sweet relationship that kept me hooked. I loved these two but I also loved that we got to see a good amount of Danny and Roman as well. I really love this small vampire den they are building and how it is so full of love and happiness. Also I can’t wait to learn more about Jay because he was a wonderful addition to this group.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than book 1

I really felt the chemistry between these two, with just enough angst to make it feel more real. I wish is had taken a bit more for Gabe to give in to his pull to Soren but overall their relationship was perfect. They fit so well together and I loved how the conflict of the story concluded. It wasn't a "damsel in distress" type ending and I was so happy about that. Their spicy bits were great and not over done in a ridiculous manner. It was a sweet MM romance and I love how other characters are slowly coming into this universe.

My biggest problem with this series so far is its all third person which, for me, creates a distance between the reader and the character, their story. I feel like it would have had s greater impact if it had been written in first person, especially with the dual POVs alternating within the book.

A few mild potential triggers, nothing severely graphic in my opinion, and lots of sweet spice. 18+ and I guess I'll keep going with this series for now. We'll see if the author continues to hold my interest.

This was a good story but I didn’t really like Gabe and I definitely didn’t like Soren. I didn’t quite believe their bond but the story as a whole was told well.

I cannot overstate how much I love this book. All the Vampire's Mate series books are great but Soren will always be my favourite. There's something so special about the mixture of strength and vulnerability both Soren and Gabe show (in their own different ways) and the drama, angst and past trauma are at just the right level to make this highly engaging as a story in its own right, not just a love story. The heat level is superb too, really delicious.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love Gabe and Soren!

I already read “Soren” and I loved the characters and their story. So, this was my first audiobook for the series but the narrator really embodied the characters, especially Gabe. I was more sceptic with Soren’s interpretation at the beginning, I thought it lacked Soren’s confidence, but after a few chapters, I began to appreciate the subtilty and the smoothness of his tone. Michael Ferraiuolo did an overall amazing job for this book. It definitely makes me want to listen to “Roman”.

I loved Soren and Gabe too.
They were so amazing together. The way they just fit with each other was everything.
I must admit that I was in the fence with Gabe cause he needed a full year to come to terms with the fact that vampires are a thing so I was worried. I was glad that he’s adaptable after knowing Soren and how much he let himself just be himself.
Soren had a sad and abusive past and I was very surprised by it. Who would thought that Soren from Roman’s book would’ve been through what he did but he is so precious and he’s the most cute brat I’ve seen in awhile.
Sexy times were again so good! I Loved how they change during it. 🥵🫠🫠🫦
Love them both dearly and now I can’t wait for Lucien. I kinda forgave what Lucien did so now after seeing him in the bonus where he smells cinnamon, im super excited!
Also Yay for Jay’s book please and thank you! He is so precious, cute and adorable. Im also super excited for his book.
