The Wolf's Mate #1
Bro and the Beast
When musclebound frat bro Brad gets run off the road by a reckless driver, he thinks it's game over. When he wakes up inside his twin brother's favorite corny shifter romance novel, he realizes the real game is just beginning.
Desperate to get back to a world where he's top dog, Brad finds himself in the crosshairs of Raul, the menacingly hot hero of The Wolf's Mate, who's intent on teaching Brad a whole new meaning to the word alpha.
Not only does Raul insist that Brad is an omega– his omega–but Brad is going to have to come to terms with the fact that he isn't just a part of this fictional world. He's a stand-in for the main character, and the only way out is to make sure he gets to his happily ever after.
-
Author's Note: This is the first installment of a new mpreg serial following Brad, a quintessential frat bro and Raul, the brooding werewolf love interest he never asked for--and, in typical '80s alpha male hero fashion, is never gonna give him up. Prepare for hot shifters, snark and banter, gay awakening, found family dynamics, sassy (and intrusive) siblings, a villainous heroine, cliffhangers galore, and meta mayhem.

This is a very ‘no thoughts, head empty’ kind of book that WILL NOT be for everyone but I literally do! Not! Care! Cause lemme tell you, I had fun reading this, and tell me when was the last time I had ACTUAL FUN reading a book?
… *crickets*
Yeah, I can’t either cause it feels like forever ago.
Many people have already described what this is about, so in short: it follows a frat bro called Brad who gets stuck in the timeline/world of the werewolf romance book his brother is reading after getting in an accident. Why he got sucked into it is a mystery right now, but he ended up eating his own words because he was engrossed into the book the moment he started it after making fun of his brother for reading it. And now he’s in the actual world. And he’s the main character. But instead of the heroine Catalina, it’s him.
Very ott, ridiculous, bizarre, and something that doesn’t make sense but that’s the point.
There is a lot of suspension of disbelief you need to do to enjoy this, and I had no problem doing so. Brad is actually a fun character. I think Raul, the alpha werewolf and love interest from the fictional 80’s world, is a bit more bland and boring, not offering much so far other than the usual alphaness elements. But Brad was fun, especially for a frat bro. He has all the elements that make him the dude bro he is, but his dialogue is humorous without feeling too forced. He’s funny, cocky, and stands up for himself, especially as he’s the ‘omega’ in the world. I loved his character. The dialogue was funny, providing a good sense of entertainment that made the reading experience easily accessible. His character itself is also a little fleshed out but not enough, which I think is fine considering there’s more installments in the series. He’s definitely a typical frat bro but I never found him bordering on annoying and too ott, especially as you have an idea of what to expect going into this. I personally liked that Brad has a backbone and didn’t let these weird fictional characters who aren’t so fictional stop him. There’s still a lot he’s still learning and lies he’s already telling, but it makes the plot continue.
"Cramps?" Brad's expression falls. "You tellin' me I've got my fuckin' werewolf period or something?"
The romance has been fairly slow burn. Considering we’re 100+ pages into their story and all they’ve done is fucked because Brad was in heat, the emotional connection is slowly building up. Brad doesn’t trust Raul, and I love how he makes sure to show it. The attraction is there, it’s obvious, and it’s not going anywhere, but obviously Brad doesn’t feel anything for Raul that makes him emotionally attached. Raul’s case is different, considering he’s the alpha and considers Brad his mate. Still, Brad’s reluctance is amusing. I loved seeing how his feelings and body betrayed his true feelings. Although he couldn’t deny his attraction for Raul, his dislike and lack of trust was still apparent to the characters, making him weary and hesitant. Some may call this enemies to lovers, but we know how picky and critical I am of how loosely that trope is used, so I’ll just say the elements that make a character dislike or hate the other are there for sure.
The sexuality awakening is probably not the best. It’s a mix of GFY but also not, as Brad never really had these thoughts and feelings but suddenly feels himself feeling different mostly because of his omega senses. They’re natural and instinct, so there’s no actual development on his part. Nothing where he finds himself seeing someone else differently and mostly done because of his character. It definitely gives off ‘magic dick’ vibes, which is ridiculous and dumb, but I shrugged it off for the sake of the story’s plot. I’m hoping the next books will do better on this part, especially as the blurb says this has gay awakening as a theme but it doesn’t really feel like it. It just felt like Brad woke up as an omega and BAM! He can’t help but feel attracted to the hot alpha because they’re mates, so it’s fate.
"Easy," he says, and that's the six-hundred dollar square in “things you'd say to a horse and also a lover."
"Don't tell me 'easy' until you've taken a fucking footlong up your ass, pal!" I bellow.
He raises an eyebrow. "I'm not an omega. Your body is made for this."
"One, go fuck yourself," I say, grimacing through the pain. At least he's stopped pushing in for the moment. "Two, I just became an omega yesterday, so can it with that, 'your body is made for this' crap."
The book isn’t meant to be taken seriously, isn’t meant to be a literary masterpiece, and isn’t meant to be analyzed critically, which I know I do often but sue me, I can turn my thoughts off once in a while. I was gonna give this three stars but said “fuck it” cause I had fun, so I’m giving this four stars. When I say I read to escape, this is what I mean. This was a perfect palette cleanser for me, and I am excited to see where Brad and Raul take us on their next chapter. The books are short, making them easy to read through. They also add to my Goodreads reading challenge so you won’t see me complaining.

3.5 ⭐️ rounded up because I had fun. This won’t win any literary awards, that might be true but I think having fun reading is kind of important too. Well, this was CRAZY!! Completely OTT and ridiculous ! Add to this the fact that it was mpreg (not really my cup of tea) and it shouldn’t get 4 stars but it did because I got to the end and I immediately wanted the second book! This reads like a satire directed at mpreg books and it’s so funny , because I totally identify with Brad’s thoughts on mpreg shifters books.
Some things were not quite ok, like the fact that the book in the book (lol) is set in the 80s and Brad was bummed that there weren’t mobile phones or computers , yet a few pages later Brad was using the car’s GPS 🤣
Brad, our MC comes across as a douche but you can’t help loving him and his musings are hilarious sometimes . Raul, on the contrary is quite boring, bland and soft even though he was supposed to be a big bad alpha wolf . Unfortunately the weight of the entire book is carried solely by Brad and luckily, he does it well.
I end my review with one of Brad’s shocking discoveries as a newly minted omega. 🤣
"It's just your natural slick," he says [….] And for the record, alphas find it extremely hot”
“Great," I mutter. "Just what I've always wanted. A magical, lube-dispensing asshole to turn alphas on." 😆

I really wasn’t sure what I would think about this book, but the cover 👀 like sign me up! So I started reading it and man I’m happy I did. I laughed out loud more times than I count. It really was just a fun read, looking forward to the second one! (4.5)

Okay, so… reading Bro and the Beast 1 was probably the most fun I’ve had reading all year.
I’m already mad for fated mates and shifter romances, but I LOVED what Joel Abernathy did with this story—the first novella in a 5-part serial—utilising all the tropes I crave already and spinning them on an axis, delivering a story that is wholly original yet cosy and reliable, like some of my favourite shifter romances out there.
The story promises meta mayhem and good god did it deliver on that front, as we follow a college dude-bro named Brad Miller, as he gets seemingly sucked into his nerdier twin brother’s favourite PNR book, waking up in the place of the book heroine (but as himself) as the omega mate of alpha werewolf Raul.
Reading Brad’s perspective was an absolute hoot and everything you’d want in a notoriously straight, frat boy human, who suddenly finds himself the object of desire to a very male and very alpha werewolf.
But, if I thought Brad’s POV was amusing, getting Raul’s awe-struck alpha POV was a god damn delight.
Hehe! I was seriously tickled and highlighted like a fiend, non-stop. But thankfully, the tongue-in-cheek humour and meta musings weren’t the only things making this a worthwhile read—far from it!
Getting to follow Brad into this supernatural world—which, at this point, Brad and the readers don’t know if it’s reality or imagined—was very fun and very, very intriguing. Beyond the whole “dude-bro omega” thing, I was completely gripped by the premise and all the questions it created for me, as Brad’s experiences with Raul and his pack become increasingly more real and less like the car-crash induced dream Brad initially assumed he was having.
Even though this is only the first of the serial, it packs a lot in without feeling rushed. For fans of the genre—namely omegaverse romances—you’ve got your alpha/omega pairing, however unconventional; you’ve got your growly, possessive hero werewolf; looming threats from rival packs; plus, all the nummy deliciousness that comes with mating bonds, knotting and, yep, breedings.
Brad’s incredulous reaction to his new omega status and subsequent sexual awakening is probably the most enjoyable part of the whole damn thing, if I’m being honest. Like the moment Brad goes into his first heat…
Or when he realises that the only way to ease said heat pains is by being knotted by an alpha and he decides to take it like a bro…
As the first in a serial, this inevitably ends on a cliffhanger, but rest assured, most of the stories are out already and continuing on is a no-brainer, because Brad and Raul are just too much fun to resist!

I've been aware of the existence of werewolves for all of an hour, and they are already by far the most overconfident douchebags I've ever met. And that's saying a lot. Hell, I am an overconfident douchebag, and these people give me an inferiority complex.
But, if I thought Brad’s POV was amusing, getting Raul’s awe-struck alpha POV was a god damn delight.
"Let's start with the basics," I say. "You already know my name, so what's yours?"
"Brad Miller," he answers, hiccuping as he takes another swig of beer.
My God, he is so enchanting.
"Brad Miller," I murmur, mulling over the subtle poetry of his name. That's a name I could growl during sex.

Or when he realises that the only way to ease said heat pains is by being knotted by an alpha and he decides to take it like a bro…
Fucking hell, maybe I am a little bit gay. Like... one percent. Maybe one and a half.
He spreads my cheeks and his tongue slides up my crack and it immediately skyrockets to five percent.

Just like the blurb says, Brad somehow finds himself stuck in his brother's favorite paranormal romance novel where he’s the omega heroine, regardless of the fact that he is a macho straight dude bro who can’t even fathom kissing a guy let alone becoming his destined mate.
This was all sorts of funny and a very entertaining take on the romance tropes we as readers enjoy no matter how ridiculous they may look to newbie Brad who is fully cognizant that he’s in a coma? Dream? Parallel reality?
Whatever got him there, Brad needs to get out fast before he succumbs to Raul and his magical mystical pheromone fueled appeal, especially as Brad’s omega existence decides to go into heat! This ended abruptly, and I look forward to more of Brad’s desperate resistance to his new mind boggling situation!

When a non-reader asked me what I was reading, and I tried to explain it in 30 seconds or less.
“SO, it's a frat boy, who transports into a book that he was reading in real life after a car crash, he then realises that he’s playing the role of the "heroine" from the book, and then he ends up getting dicked and knotted by the hot male mc who is a wolf shifter?”
I was obviously met with 👀........
But that's pretty much the plot of book 1 right?
ZERO thoughts, ✨vibes✨only.
This almost feels like it should be on the "read but at what cost" shelf, but I normally reserve that shelf for shit books, and this wasn't shit, but what did it cost me??? HAHA 💖💖💖
🐀🐀🐀🐀 4 feral rats for the silly goofy time 🐀🐀🐀🐀

O cara heterossexual idiota da fraternidade que estava zoando seu irmão por ler um romance com lobisomens e depois (valeu, Universo!) parou nos braços de um macho gostoso. Eu amo isso e acho hilário e ainda continuo gostando.

The stupid straight frat guy who was making fun of his brother for reading a werewolf novel and then (thanks, Universe!) ended up in the arms of a hot male. I love it and I think it's hilarious and I still enjoy it.

Bro and the Beast 1 is so much fun! It's a shifter romance that's super meta. It's serialized so this first part ends on a slight cliffhanger and I need to pick up the next instalment straight away.
__
Brad's twin brother is really into omegaverse romances, and he feels bad for making fun of him for it so Brad decides to read one for himself. He ends up getting engrossed in it, but what he doesn't expect is to get transported into the book after a car accident.
Brad now finds himself as the main character, an omega and ends up meeting an alpha that's his true mate. He fully believes this to be a dream, and that he's lying in a hospital bet in the real world. This is where we get some funny meta perspective from Brad as he makes his way through a world that he's already read in a book, except now that he's the main character there's some changes.

oh Brad is so unserious pfftttt. I liked this, it’s really silly if you are in the mood for something easy, fast and again, silly. I didn’t read the blurb (went into this blind bcs of the reviews I always do that lmao) so the sorta time/book travel trope was a shocked and I was a bit excited over it hahah but yeah it was different than all of the time travel I’ve read. Storyline is a bit ridiculous and might need some time for me to get used to. Will continue the series later :)
Annnnd it really sucks to be stuck in a book like Brad’s because I ain’t no fucking any alpha 😭😭😭 and I AM NOT GETTING PREGNANT LMAO what the hell

So I read this whole series as one giant book, so my review will be the same for each book. It worked for me to read it that way because each book ended and began seamlessly. Each book would end on a cliffhanger, and it would then pick off exactly where it let off on the next book. Each book was also relatively short, so I was zooming.
I loved this series so very much. I don’t think I have ever laughed this hard reading a book. It was soooooooo funny. Brad is probably one of my favorite characters ever.
I’m not going to go too much into what’s going on since I’m posting this review for each book, so I don’t want it to be all spoilery, but I’ll say a little. So basically Brad and his twin brother Devon got into a fight. Brad didn’t understand why Devon liked to live with his head in a book instead of living his life. Stupid sibling fight really. Brad decides that he’s going to read Devon’s favorite werewolf book, so maybe he can apologize and they can have something to talk about. Brad didn’t expect to actually like the book. He couldn’t put it down. Later that night, he had to leave to go to a frat party, so he takes the book with him so he can read it later. On the way there, he gets in a car accident, and he wakes up in the book. And he’s the new main character. And this gigantic werewolf insists that Brad is his omega mate. Brad who is 100% straight and has no desire to get down with the dogs. The book kicks off fast, and I LOVED it. The rest of the series is then Brad trying to figure out what he needs to do to get back to his life. Lots of stuff is in the way. It’s a wild ride.
I would say that the last book was my least favorite, only because it was a little slow. I felt like we could’ve wrapped up the ending quicker, but that’s all. I loved how the story progressed and everything that went down. I also very much loved the werewolf sex thank you. I’m super interested to see how the next book goes!!! (It’s about a new couple)

He couldn’t put it down. Later that night, he had to leave to go to a frat party, so he takes the book with him so he can read it later. On the way there, he gets in a car accident, and he wakes up in the book. And he’s the new main character. And this gigantic werewolf insists that Brad is his omega mate. Brad who is 100% straight and has no desire to get down with the dogs. The book kicks off fast, and I LOVED it. The rest of the series is then Brad trying to figure out what he needs to do to get back to his life. Lots of stuff is in the way. It’s a wild ride.
I would say that the last book was my least favorite, only because it was a little slow. I felt like we could’ve wrapped up the ending quicker, but that’s all. I loved how the story progressed and everything that went down. I also very much loved the werewolf sex thank you. I’m super interested to see how the next book goes!!! (It’s about a new couple)

ISEKAI ➻ genre of fiction that involves a character being transported into an unfamiliar world.
This was an extremely fun read, such an interesting trope.
LOVED that Brad isn’t your typical omega-type you usually see in shifter romances, but a buff frat bro. It just made everything even more hilarious.
CW and tropes:
- fated mates
- Shifters
- Double queer awakening
- Strict top/bottom (?)
POV: 1st person, dual

"Reindeer are real, Brad." "Yeah, sure, and I'm sure there are pixies, too," I say with a wave of my hand. "We've already established your world is fucked up."

I'm not sure if this book is meant to make me feel bad for Brad, but man, I felt so bad for Raul and how Brad always antagonized him for nothing.
Like, I get it. Being a asshole is Brad's personality, and it's cute and all, but IS THAT ALL? 😭
Yeah it's funny, because Brad was literally roasting me throughout this book, but it got really annoying when Brad didn't know the words Thank and You.
If you guys have read book 2, thoughts?

This was a very fast read and it definitely, in my opinion, should have just been one big novel, as there's at least going to be 3 parts (maybe more? Who knows).
Separating this into separate parts just makes this installment feel very...bereft of a lot of elements that would make it great.
The romance is *barely* even really there in this first installment. There's some attraction, to be sure, and Raul sees Brad as his mate, but they barely know each other and Brad is very resistant to it all, understandably.
There's some chemistry, but because Brad is so resistant for so long, it doesn't quite sizzle the way I wished it would.
And maybe we'll get all the good bits in future installments, and I'll definitely be reading...but it just makes this, as an individual book, not as strong as it could have been.
Now, is the premise fun? Yes, it is, and I did enjoy Brad the Frat Bro who all the sudden finds himself in the heroine's story as the heroine part and is also now an Omega to Raul's Alpha.
And I did like the start of what we got for these two. I also really did like Raul and he is a great love interest, to be sure 😉
But there just wasn't enough, and it ends too abruptly - I've even started the second book and it picks up right where the first left off - so what even is the point of splitting these into separate books? It should have all just been one book.
Both books out now are around 130 pages - that's only 260 pages, standard novel length. And add in the third which I bet will be around 130 pages, and that's almost 400 pages. So just a long book, which is always fun. Splitting it up isn't the best idea, in my opinion.
Because as it is, this is just a beginning, and so as a singular novel it doesn't quite work. But for what we do get it is enjoyable. It's a fairly solid beginning installment overall, and I'm diving into the second one right away.
It's just, this suffered for being being so short and only just beginning the story, really, and is my main problem with it.
Also I tagged this mpreg, but Brad is not pregnant (yet) in this. But they do have (very hot) sex at the end and Raul expects Brad to most likely get pregnant, so the mpreg is coming.
Now, onto book 2!

Brad is your average jock dudebro, who loves his Frat bros, No Homo though.
For some unknown magical reason, Brad ends up taking the place of the female Omega in the Omegaverse romance book his little brother was reading.
Now the big beefcake Alpha says they are mates and Brad has a magical, lube-dispensing asshole lmao
Listen, this book was ridiculous and hilarious and exactly what I needed. Brad is the grumpiest alphafucker I've ever read. And Raul has the patience of a saint. I was instantly hooked.
These are fast paced, short reads, perfect for in between heavier, longer series.

I almost feel like I’m rating this too high for what it is but damn did it make me laugh. This is essentially a book within a book which makes it OTT and crazy because of that but then it’s set in the 80’s and the facts are wrong giving it another layer of nuttiness. Why are they using GPS? 🤔 I’m an 80s baby and lemme tell you that GPS was not a thing then or even in the 90s-early 2000s. I’m spoiled af now but my childhood was spent looking at maps trying not to get carsick during family vacations and later, putting an address into whatever existed before Google Maps, praying we had ink and paper to print it out and then crossing my fingers and toes 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I didn’t miss a turn because there was no Siri directing me back to the route. 😂😂 So while I realize this book is technically a fantasy, Brad made a huge deal about not having a cell phone or WiFi so how does the car have GPS? 🤣
So this is about dude bro Brad who is predictably the vice prez in his frat and after getting into a fight with his twin brother over a stupid romance book somehow winds up in that actual book after a car crash. Brad had read some of the book just to see why his twin liked it so he understands some of what is going on but is totally unprepared to be the fated mate of a male werewolf when he has always identified as straight. Maybe.
Despite not usually liking dude bro characters with names like Brad, he carried this entire book because Raul the werewolf was pretty bland especially for an alpha werewolf. Because Brad read some of the book, we have a bit of backstory to the pack dynamics but not enough to truly grasp what is going on or who Brad needs to watch out for but it’s clear that Brad traded places with the heroine in the actual book and is now somehow an omega in this new world.
I was into this book until about chapter 11 and then I just kind of wanted more, mainly some werewolf sex and knotting. There was just too much book set up even though it’s a novella and I wanted them to shut up and fuck already. 🤣 There’s only 14 chapters, so you’d think I could be patient but they were both a bit annoying at times. At 90%, in chapter 14, I finally got my wish and it was hot 🥵 Watching Brad go from not wanting to be with a man to being a total cockslut was magnificent but then it ended. Thankfully the second book will be out in a few weeks.
This was really dumb but it makes fun of the omegaverse and it just made me laugh because of Brad’s commentary. His comments about the romance book, being an omega, knotting etc were hysterical and while there was mention of mpreg, none took place in this book. I do think there will be mpreg in the other ones going forward and while that’s not my favorite, I think this series will be worth it for the laughs. Lastly, what is up with this cover? It’s just as ridiculous as the book 🤣

“Can't believe I'm stuck in a damn werewolf romance novel and I don't even get to turn into a werewolf”
This book is extremely silly and weird and funny! I honestly don't know if I'd have reacted better if I was Brad, because damn!
Now I am stressed and anxious and like what is going to happen?

Fun take on the alpha/omega universe.
Here’s the thing. I’m not into all the omegaverse/breeding/mpreg stuff. I do love shifters, and alphas, and knotting. But this “I’m so horny the only way out of it is to have sex with an alpha and maybe get impregnated” makes me roll my eyes.
Did I love this book despite the aforementioned things? Absolutely, because the premise is more than intriguing: we have Brad, a 22yo straight frat boy. After making fun of his gay twin brother Devon for reading cheesy shifter romances, he picks up the book and starts reading, unable to put it down. Short time after that, he’s in a car accident - and wakes up in what’s obviously a “real” book universe, with himself as the omega mc, and obviously a fated mate to Raul, a pack leader.
It’s fun, and it really keeps you guessing what’s real and what not, especially as we get the (very real) pov from Raul, too. It’s not standalone, there’s a longer story arc, so to solve the mystery, you need to read the following books, too. And despite my omegaverse niggles, I’m severely tempted to continue. And I probably will when I need something hot and fun to shut down my brain.
Far from perfect, but an interesting start of new series 👍🏻

WHY HAVEN'T I STARTED THIS SERIES SOONER? I'm obsessed.
I was in need of something light-hearted, steamy and fun for a quick read before bed last night, and needless to say, I stayed up for two hours and INHALED "Bro and Beast" in a single sitting.
It was hilarious, steamy, wild, ridiculously fun and joyful, and Brad's an absolute icon of a protagonist: he's so damned funny, I think I cackled out loud from start to finish.
In some ways, I'm glad I started this now because I have all the books already available: I can already see myself binge-reading all of these.
If there's one thing I can't resist, it's the Surprise Omega™ trope, and I can already tell that Brad's way of dealing with this *waves hands* situation, will be a marvel to behold. I can't wait to continue.

Welp. Add BrOmegaverse to the ongoing list of reasons why I'm not getting into heaven.
Cause I fuck with this Jumanji: Gay Werewolf Knotting Edition thing heavyyy.
While you're at it, add this series to the list of "books that would put medieval scholars into a coma."
This is a silly, goofy book and I was in a silly, goofy mood the whole way through. It's OTT and frankly, fucking ridiculous, but I genuinely had so much fun and laughed out loud more than once. I probably laughed the loudest whenever there was an interaction like:
Brad: *does something distinctly male and disgustingly human*
Raul:
And how from the moment Brad entered Heartland, he just:
Perfection. LOL
With a cover like that (+ all the expectations that come with typical OV just-for-fun books), I wasn't expecting a slow burn at all, but I actually kind of enjoyed it. There's something about the way the book ends that feels like it's the first chapter release of an ongoing manga; it's kind of nice and reminds me of back when I would read Shonen Jump every week like it was my religion.
Already giggling and ready for the next one.

4/14/2024- I needed some Brad in my life today. He is the most unique, hilarious character.

original review 7/24/2023
I have no idea how I will feel about the rest of the serial, but this hit the spot today. I’m supposed to be asleep. My alarm is scheduled to go off in less than 3 hours. I guess I had a nap before my brain said I HAD to see what other craziness Brad was going to find himself in.
This is like no other book that I’ve read. (I say that, but I’m old. The memory is the second to go behind… I forget 😜)

When I started bro and the beast, the writing almost immediately took me out. The book is riddled with the authors idea of how a bro talks, but it’s definitely dated with words like “hella”. I kept slogging through, however, and the book started to grow on me. It’s genuinely funny in some spots and if I look past a few elements, it ended up being a decent novella length read. I may very well read the rest in the series since they’re so short 🤷🏻♀️

This was a lot funnier than I thought it'd be. Poor Brad really should’ve just stayed home and finished that story. What a crazy predicament. 4 stars

French fries fic - I gobbled this book up so quick y'all! 😂
Funny, sexy, and fast-moving. I will definitely be picking up the next book in the series.
