About this listen
They believed humans were weak - until her.
The aliens ruling over the galaxy knew humans were compatible with their species, but they never expected to find a match quite so perfect for their Emperor.
Lena should have been nothing more than an incubator - she was supposed to have the Emperor's child, and then get back to her life.
But then, they made the mistake of threatening that child...
The Emperor's Mate is a standalone sci-fi romance following three stories - previously published as Rise, Rage, and Rule between 2015 and 2016. It has been re-edited. Expect swear words and some adult situations.

A captive at the mercy of the Warlord of their multi-world kingdom, Nalini has learned to hide under a mask, a lie. As far as her master sees, she’s his obedient little puppet. Then, she meets him. The male who can obliterate the entire Galaxy. Her world ends that day. In the eyes of a young Seer, Kai discovers who he’s meant to be. His future is blood and death; but there’s a female by his side. A female he’d gladly destroy stars for. If his destiny is ruling over ruins with her, so be it.

Cat shifter Bree Dwyer doesn't fear much. Ironically, what she fears most is the person who was put on the Earth just for her. Your true mate wasn't supposed to be cruel and twisted; wasn't supposed to be someone who'd never love or want to claim you. The rumors that her true mate is dead bring her only relief. Bree's intent on moving forward with her life and building a future with someone else. Sadly, the male she wants most is one she can never have - a hot-as-sin wolverine shifter who happens to be her boss...and the cousin of her predestined mate.

My name's Lyra Ridley, and I run headlong into supernatural danger for a living. When a criminal has magic too dangerous to merely lock up, we send them to a blackout prison. Hell would've been a better destination for this guy. As a lowly cop in the LVMPD's Rapid Response unit, I'm used to dealing with all kinds of dumpster-fire scenarios, from drunk salamanders on a building-melting bender and angry manticore landlords threatening to eat tenants' gallbladders in lieu of payment to human summoners calling up monsters from the deep to impress their girlfriends to name a few.

alien love
At first I had a little hard time following the story but once I got into it I was all over it. I love these two narrorators they always make the story so much better with the making each individual character their own. I'm always out for new sci fi romance and once I got into the story I enjoyed it but wanted to know more of some if the other characters so hopefully I'll get more of them.

The Emperor's Mate was a fascinating Sci-Fi alien novel that I just could not put down. I really enjoyed it. This novel has separate stories in one and loved how they all blended together. While the story was Sci-fi it was so much more than just alien world. It was about finding your mate and each story had a separate couple's search for their mate. The novel was very descriptive with wonderful characters. The storyline was fast paced and action-packed.
I listened to the audible version of this novel narrated by Tor Thom and Charley Ongel. These two were able to bring the story to life and they did an excellent job of voicing the many different characters. Although the story itself is very descriptive these two were able to bring out the characters and the story so much more that I could clearly picture what was happening. I loved it.
This was an excellent story and I would highly recommend this audible to all sci-fi lovers.

An intriguing romance in an imaginary world
This is the first time I read a May Sage book. I was not sure what to expect when I first started listening. I was pleasantly surprised at how easily the world and Aliens were to imagine. Ms. Sage vividly described every detail to bring the scene and characters to your minds eye. Although the book is a Sci-fi book, it is not overbearing and so farfetched that it is hard to relate to.
Lena and Calden was my favorite couple. I could relate to Lena and her motherly instincts. I loved following her growth from just a breeder to a mother. The way Calden found his mate, Lena, is like a matchmaking game, but with DNA. Calden, being a strong leader, was easily attracted to Lena, who was an equally strong woman.
Tor Thom and Charley Ongel are a perfect compliment to the story. Tor Thom distunguished the many male characters with ease. The different pitches and accents Mr Thom used were perfectly chosen for each character and how I would have imagined that character. Charley Ongel is a wonderful contrast to Mr Thom's deep baritone voice. Ms Ongel brought out each female character's attitude and emotion with her narration. Together, Mr Thom and Ms Ongel enhanced the story and created a movie within my mind's eye.

This was a fun escape into a well thought out universe. I love the fact I can’t track where we’re going with the storyline. I definitely wouldn’t mind more in this universe. We can all use more dragons in our lives.

The author had a great imagination and Tor Thom with Charley Ongel was fantastic narrating this one. The Emperor was cold and detached and he never made snap decisions. They were the Claydons that produced their own children, but lately they were either insane or they didn’t live lone. That is why human females were brought in and called breeders. They called the humans suckers because they believed they sucked the earth dry. Then Lena came into their site. She was a perfect mate for the Emperor. Lena had a child by the Emperor and they had a son named Eric. Things got complicated on earth for them and the Emperor and Lena worked together to protect him. Eric get a story at the end. Don’t miss this one.

Great book! I love how it skipped ahead to tell the stories of the characters mentioned that impacted the majority of the scenes. However, I think 40 years is a long time to wait for your soulmate to come around. That’s a bit unrealistic.

Story is engaging but lacking
First thank you Tor Thom and Charley Ongel for gifting me this book thru Aural Fixation on FB.
They did an excellent job narrating.
The Emperors Mate is a Sci-fi versus paranormal romance with comedy thrown in. We have humans, aliens and dragons all living and cohabiting together.
A capricious alien Emperor Calden looking and finding a snarky Mate Lena, who is human and has to prove she is cunning and smart enough to be the Empress after birthing his child several years earlier, thus him being capricious.
I have a gripe with this story, because it is entwined with several other stories and several other characters, none of these stories are complete in my mind. All these characters are sitting in my head waiting for their HEA, if that makes sense to others reading this.
I would have given this book a much better review and rating had the author given more detail to the characters in her plots.
