About this listen
Lieutenant Laahn Cortez is about to sit down to his well-deserved supper when destiny hits — winged, scaled, and more than a little tipsy.
Rago is a fated mates/forced proximity short story from The Order Universe, featuring a puffing dragon shifter and a romp in the fencing hall.

Story
It’s the Night of Winter Lights. Heedless of the holiday, the Commander of the H’Aren fortress, Captain Torýn Torhdhar, seems to find his satisfaction in work. Such occurrence hardly surprises his Orderly, Sæbastyn Hyago, even though the young Lieutenant has spent a silent, aching decade wishing his superior officer would pursue pleasure elsewhere - specifically in his arms.But as the evening continues, nothing about it meets Sæbastyn’s expectations. Will the Lieutenant see his secret desires realised, or his heart shattered?

Story
As the Light Festival draws near, the Něssyrians craft paper lanterns, awaiting the most important holiday of the year. The Lyliňg Fighting House, too, prepares for celebration - by laying fresh sand onto the arena and setting up a match against their top pit fighter, the unrivalled Yüuzuki Ōren. His last match. One he can’t win. With the odds more than stacked against him, the gorgeous Barbarian is as good as dead. Unless his lover, healer Ĥaiatto Ẽkana, proves himself every bit as determined as he is clever and finds a way to protect the man he’d stop at nothing to save.

Story
Black clouds of xenophobia gather over Radvadur, the western province of the Empire. The political climate is strained and fragile. A surge of Nymph refugees has stirred widespread hostility towards non-humans. When the investigation of a gruesome triple murder linked to the refugee camp ensues, it takes Inspector Käyru Skaer and his lover, Count Ellydhar Finn-Jánn, along an unusual path, at the end of which a precious gift awaits. Käyru and Elly are worlds apart in social standing, but they have found common ground in the bedroom - up against the wall and the stable doors, too.

Samuel has one goal in life: fix his broken core. What does he not want? A bossy, overprotective, possessive, teasing dragon sticking his nose in business that is not his. Even if he is sexy and supports Samuel on his quest to find the lost Sousa Mage Clan. Utterly beside the point. He does not need a dragon boyfriend. (Un)fortunately, Dimitri disagrees.

It’s really hard to pretend like life is normal when you’re staring a monster in the eyes, though he’s both tempting and irritating in his human form. I put my days as a hunter behind me, unable to cope with the death and pain anymore, to become an upstanding citizen and for what? To assist Lake, a man who claims he’s not a monster but keeps talking about me like I’m edible and–even worse–wants to woo me?

Hello, there! I’m Octavius Evander. And this is the beginning of my story—well…sort of. It’s not the very beginning. As a vampire, that story would be way too long to write down—think, before the Romans. Rather, this story is about how I met the love of my unlife. Okay, it will be mostly about the cool and fancy detective agency I opened and solving mysteries, but also a little about love too.

Story
As a divorced man in my thirties with a throwaway job and very few friends, I admit that I've made a lot of bad decisions over the years. Rounding out the top of that epic list was allowing my son's best friend, Quinn, to talk me into taking him on a two-week summer road trip... alone. What was supposed to be quality father-son bonding time before Joshua went off to college has somehow transpired into a battle of wills between me and his nineteen-year-old best friend. Quinn may be young, but he genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with me, something I've never experienced before.

When you can talk to ghosts, things are bound to get spirited. The ghosts have been there since before I can remember. When I was a kid, they doted on me, but as I got older, they got more demanding. I’ve spent my whole life seeing and talking to dead people and trying to pretend I’m not, because the living just don’t understand. Nobody wants to be around the freak who claims to see ghosts. Until I go to Mannix Estate.

Adorable & steamy short
Kasia Bacon leaves me wanting more without making me feel like she failed to write a complete story.
This is a short story in the M/M fantasy romance Orders Universe, yet stands completely on its own. Perfect if you enjoy fated mates and dragon shifters. Entirely from Laahn’s first person perspective, this adorable and steamy short features his meeting with Rago.
Michael Fox’s narration was perfect. He did a great job giving each character a unique voice as well as evoking all the emotions.

Open the Door
This is a lovely story about fated mates. I enjoyed getting to know these men and seeing how they finally realize that they are meant for each other. The story has a sweet relaxed feel but there is also the rush of fiery passion and shared pleasure.
Kasia Bacon has written another wonderful little gem that fills your head with numerous possibilities but also leaves room for your own imagination to take shape. I love these stories and I look forward to seeing more from this author and this enchanting world she has created.
Michael Fox did an excellent job as narrator and is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
I received a copy of this audiobook but this is my honest review.

Quick, funny and steamy.
I always find it amazing how Kasia Bacon manages to condense a whole story, with a whole range of emotions and well-developed characters is such short stories! They’re a pleasure to read (or listen to, in this case), it’s like opening a box of chocolate and going for your favourite one: quick, but intense pleasure!
Rago is the story of what happens when a dragon shifters drinks one too many tankards of cider and scents his mate while being a little more than tipsy. It’s a quick, funny, steamy read that leaves you smiling and wanting for more!

Perfect little escape
Kasia Bacon manages to write a short story that's both sweet and sexy at the same time and even throws in some humor as well. Laahn and and Rago are perfect together, but of course they are, they're fated mates! I loved how Laahn just went all in and accepted that he was the fated mate of a dragon shifter, and was happy about it, even though they hardly knew each other at first.
This story is perfect for a quick listen on the go or as a palate cleanser between longer reads. I still wish that it was longer though, or that there will be another short story about this couple in the futue. You do not need to have read any other books in the Order series to enjoy this one, it's a complete stand-alone.
Michael Fox's narrration was very pleasant to listen to and added an extra dimention to the story.

I got this book as free as part of Audible's monthly choices. While paranormal isn't my usual genre, I adored this one. Michael Fox's narration brought you into the author's world. May have to pick up the other books in the series.

Very enjoyable short story
Rago is another amazing, beautifully written, short story in the Order Universe. Laahn is asked to get Rago, a drunk dragon shifter, to shift back into his human form because it seems Laahn is Rago's fated mate. I love the interaction between Laahn and Rago, both in Rago's dragon and human forms. This is a sweet story to enjoy again and again and I highly recommend it.
Narrator Michael Fox does another amazing job. I just love his voice in bringing characters to life.

I fly above with my love together
It’s not easy for something be so exquisite and beautifully done when it’s only about 28 pages/less than an hour of a listen. I have told this time and time again but it’s much more difficult to write short stories because you have a very limited amount of words and everything needs to be precise and adequately described. And boy, did Miss Bacon nail it with this one.
I am not going to say what the story is about since it’s very short and I do not want to spoil any brilliance of this exquisite bite-sized snack. Rather, I’d say what this story makes me feel. Rago is whimsical, magical, beautiful and it makes you believe in destiny and true love. It was funny, romantic, hopeful and enthralling at the same time too. I really couldn’t get enough of Laahn and Rago. And I really hope this isn’t the end of the journey for these two because I certainly want to see more of these two. Michael Fox is definitely the right narrator for this book and I am really enamored with his performance in this one. Overall, this is perfect for you whenever you are in a mood for delightful little listen with some yummy macaroons and a heartwarming cup of Joe.

Dragon Shifters and alcohol
I loved this novella so much! Rago was pretty adorable as a drunk dragon who just realized who his mate was. And then we get a very angry dragon wanting his mate. This was so cute and sweet. The soldiers basically toss their friend at a drunk dragon and then lock him in to deal with the guy and a captain hasn't done his paperwork yet. The drunk dragon was so adorable and this was a really sweet story of fated mates. Laahn and Rago are a really great couple and I hope to get to see more of their stories. I loved this one so much!
