The Selkie's Coat

Waves of Fate, Book 1

A marshmallow selkie with more heart than sense and a stubborn human with a guarded heart fall in love in this first story from the Waves of Fate universe.

"Oops! You dropped your coat!" With these words, waiter Daniel Collins turns selkie Gregory Samson’s life upside down. Because that coat is not some fancy heirloom fur. No, it is Gregory’s selkie pelt, which magically connects him with his seal animal inside. When Gregory hears Daniel’s voice, he knows the human is his mate. Too bad Daniel has more than a few misgivings about trusting his heart to a selkie, because the magical seal shifters have one of the worst player reputations of all shifter kind—and Daniel fears a broken heart.

How will Gregory convince Daniel to give him a chance? It wouldn’t be so hard if Gregory’s mother and everyone else would just stop meddling! Brought together by the magic of Gregory’s coat, can the pair weather insecurities, an interfering mother, meddling friends, and a disgruntled inner animal?

The Selkie’s Coat is a slow-burn MM romance with a guaranteed HEA. It is this first installment of the Waves of Fate omegaverse universe and can be listened to as a stand-alone story.

Interesting Story

While I don't tend to read MM/FF romance, it just isn't something I ever read much of; mostly, the relationships were between side characters. However, the blurb caught my attention, and I couldn't pass the story up. I also wanted to broaden my reading horizons. I really liked the narrator's performance; he did a good job with the story. I haven't ever read a Selkie story before, so it was a nice change in pace from the typical werewolf or vampire story. I also just love the Irish lore about it.
I really enjoyed the story. I liked the characters and the world-building. I enjoyed the bond between the characters. This is the first book I have read by Drea Roman. I would be interested in reading more.

You can’t help but want a marshmallow of your own

I loved how these two come together despite his mother , you are going to want a Marshmallow of your own and fall in love with the other characters.

I loved this sweet selkie audiobook!

This is book 1 in the series Waves of Fate by Drea Roman, narrated by the amazing Michael Ferraiuolo. What a windfall to get this narrator. Everything I've ever listened to, narrated by him, is special. The voices of each of the characters were distinctive and I never got confused as to who was speaking. Drea Roman is a new to me author but I plan to check out more books by them.

I've had this book on my TBR since 2021 but since there wasn't a book 2, at that time, I never picked it up to read. When I saw this on Booksprout I was excited to listen to the story. I'm hoping for more books in this series and I can't wait for book 2 to come out on Audible.

I haven't read or listened to many selkie books but they've always fascinated me. The mythology surrounding them is fascinating and this story adds to my growing fascination.

An unsuspecting human omega, an alpha selkie, friends with definite opinions, a mother that just won't quit, another mother that forgot to explain things thoroughly, fated mates, no mpreg for these two characters, brings the heat

Sweet and adorable

I totally adored how the narrator brought to life the story, the characters voices and accents, as well as his cadence as the events unfold.
I also enjoyed how the key moments were performed, the emotions, and the humour, as well as all the shenanigans.
I enjoyed the experience and really liked how the characters happiness was portrayed.

The Lore of the Selkie!

From chapter one the formal Selkie atmosphere was set with Michael Ferraiuolo's accent for Gregory. He really pulls you into this magical new world and you get an instant feel for who Gregory is and what he envisions his life to be. On the other side we have human Daniel who from their sweet first encounter feels the pull in a lesser way than Gregory's instant knowledge he has found his mate. This made for a more complex but much more realistic courtship. Daniel is wary of the Selkie lore and anxious about figuring out where he really fits in the world as a whole along with his new feelings for Gregory and obviously destined place with him. Being the first story in this series we get to meet a ton of other characters and I will just say I adore the sweetness that is Henri so pulling for his romance! On audible this one really had an original mystical kind of feel.
