Publisher's summary

A pregnant omega trapped in a desperate situation, an unattached alpha with a lot to prove, and an unexpected fall into love that could save them both.

Kerry Monkburn is contracted to a violent alpha in prison for brutal crimes. Now pregnant with the alpha’s child, he lives high in the mountains, far above the city that once lured him in with promises of a better life. Enduring bitterness and fear, Kerry flirts with putting an end to his life of darkness, but fate intervenes.

Janus Heelies has made mistakes in the past. In an effort to redeem himself, integrity has become the watchword for his future. Training as a nurse under the only doctor willing to take him on, Janus is resolute in his intentions: He will live cleanly in the mountains and avoid all inappropriate affairs. But he doesn’t anticipate the pull that Kerry exercises on his heart and mind.

As the question of Kerry’s future health and safety comes to an explosive head, only the intervention of fate will see these desperate men through to a happy ending.

This gay romance novel by Leta Blake is the third in the Heat of Love universe which began with Slow Heat. It’s 111,000 words, with a strong happy ending and a critically-acclaimed, non-shifter Omegaverse. It features alphas, betas, omegas, male pregnancy, mpreg, heat, and knotting.

Content warning for a violent and oppressive society regarding reproductive rights.

Great story.

I love how the author made you feel like you were in the book. The fact that Jamie was forced to mate with the monster was not good, but that is how he got to meet his real agapa.

Beautiful soul mates love story

Leta Blake is literally a top-notch AAA story teller. She does her research to give the reader a complete story, with a plot, a side-plot, side characters with their fitting story and builds that world up, keeping the reader engaged from beginning to epilog, years after the end of the story. I love the narrator, Michael, who is a master with the voices, putting the listener right in the middle of the story, experiencing the happenings around them. An author I most definitely recommend. ❤️

Angsty forbidden love - beautifully told

The omegaverse world that Leta create is dark and oppressive. I have been waiting for months for Bitter Heat to come to audio because I love Slow Heat and Alpha Heat so much. You get lost in the world building Leta did and the well crafted characters she created. It is harsh and angsty but you never want to leave. Janus and Kerry should not be together but they are brought together by circumstances and their love is so beautiful. Michael Ferraiuolo brought out all the feels and the range of distinct voices he created is astounding. Simply a beautiful story that will stay with you for a long time.

Perfection!

This one is now my favorite in the Heat Series. I was waiting for Janus's redemption, and Leta gave me a wonderful story. Janus and Kerry are so perfect together ♥️♥️♥️

Michael's work was brilliant, as always. He gives live to the characters and I keep falling in love with them over and over. That epilogue made me cry - again. So sweet and all the love. 5 stars and many more!
