Omegaverse by Roxy Collins

3 Stars

Every famous love song has been written by an alpha for an omega.

As a beta, I’ve never expected to be anyone’s muse. I’m happy to stick in the background – and with a past like mine, it’s simply safer avoiding the spotlight.

But that changes the day I learn my long-lost brother is Stix Rain. The drummer for one of the biggest rock bands in the world, we lost touch when we went into foster care. He ran away, I stayed, and I still carry the scars from growing up alone.

I have so many questions for him – until I discover he died three months ago.

I’m desperate to know more about him, but my only chance to meet his bandmates is at his tribute concert. The same concert where I get rained on, mugged, and the lead singer accuses me of being a tragedy chasing groupie.

But earning the trust of a bunch of moody, grieving rockstars isn’t my biggest problem. Because I’m suddenly triggered by a switch and my hidden omega nature takes over, hungry for knots, and bites, and a pack of my own.

Now I’m on a tour bus in the middle of nowhere, and I’m hot and needy for my brother’s best friends.

But helping me through my first ever omega heat is just the start of it.

Because someone is trying to destroy the band, and I now have an impossible choice to make.

I can either sacrifice my brother’s legacy, or walk away from the only pack I’ve ever wanted.

I enjoyed this one. Some of the guys took a bit too long to get on board. It starts off sab but ends super nicely. I had some questions about how the bad guy was able to do what they. Well worth the read if you like omegaverse.

Pucking Revenge by Brittanee Nicole

4 Stars

Good boys don’t lie, fight, or steal.

Up until the moment I learned that my uncle and coach, the man I’ve looked up to my entire life, was having an affair with my best friend–the only woman I’ve ever wanted–I was a good boy. The Saint of hockey. Brooks Langfield–star goalie of the Boston Bolts and all around nice guy.

Apparently, being good is overrated because seeing Sara blindsided when she learns that the man she was dating is married makes me just angry enough to stop thinking and finally take what I want–a real shot with my best friend.

Fake dating Sara under the guise of revenge means I’m now lying to my family, fighting anyone who even looks at her the wrong way, and stealing kisses as if she’s truly mine to touch.

Now she’s the only person I want calling me a good boy and somehow I need to show her this is so much more than pucking revenge.

Loved this story so much. Friends to lovers with a splash of fake romance. I loved the give and take between Sara and Brooks. When Brooks finally tells her the truth it was perfect. Brooks’ aunt still sucks for how she acted at the end of the book. I hate when the wrong person is blamed for bad deeds. Will be looking for more books by this author.

Heart Throb Wolf by Aidy Awards

3 Stars

Don't want your best friend to find out you're in love with him? Maybe don't put him in your not-so-secret paranormal romance novel.

Rosie:

I've been writing a romance novel and it stars my best friend.

He's a star on the Dire Wolves football team and I've been in love with him for years.

But he just thinks of me as one of the guys, albeit one with plus-size curves.

But I want to be so much more.

Nik:

Nothing like reading your best friend's novel and seeing yourself starring in all the schmexy bits.

She even made the hero a freaking wolf.

Is there a chance she wants to do all these naughty things with me? Because she's been starring in my fantasies for years.

But she knows nothing about the politics of the the wolf world. Including the fact that I don't get to choose my own mate.

Short and steamy. Builds on the last two books/couples. You can’t read this one without reading those two. These aren’t in-depth books or long ones, but they are enjoyable. I didn’t like the MMC as much in this book as I have the other ones. He was way more focused then other ones were but still a good read.

Promo High Roller Omegas

♠️♦️♣️❤️ High Roller Omegas shared world!

❤️ Queen of Diamonds ❤️

Most omegas dream of a happily ever after; I just want to survive.

I’m on the run from a cruel alpha—leader of the gang I was sold to. For years he kept me like a trophy, and each heat left me with scars—ones that mark the last secret I have left to protect.

Now, he’s found me, and my sanctuary—the High Roller club—is no longer safe. Just when I know I’m going to be dragged back to my worst nightmare, I stumble upon a pack I never thought I’d see again. A pack that’s haunted every dream since the day I met them. Kyan, Zed, and Knight are brutal boys of the streets, and they’re my mates, so falling into their arms for protection should be easy. But long dead are the days of stolen kisses and names scratched into notebooks amidst hearts.

Because they hate me.

When they got to their knees and offered me the world, I turned my back on them. I left them broken, rejected, and exiled from the only family they’d ever known.

Placing myself at their feet is my last hope of survival, but I can never let them see the scars their enemy left across my skin.

This is a stand alone in the shared High Roller Omegaverse which can be read in any order, and is a MMFM bully omegaverse with a HEA

House of Omega by Roxy Collins

4 Stars

I AM WORTHY.

My stepbrother has my future mapped out. I’m going to be his pack’s companion when he bonds his omega next spring. As a beta, he’s tried to convince me it’s the best I can hope for, even if it includes duties with his pack that make me shudder.

But I want more. My dream job is to be a designer for House of Omega, the most elite luxury goods company in the world. But a ruined interview dashes my hopes, until a chance encounter with a beautiful male omega, Max. He needs my help securing a wealthy pack, and I suddenly find myself tangled up with the Rose Pack, the owners of House of Omega.

Because if they want to court Max, he insists I’m part of the package. I have my hesitations, not least of all because my stepbrother threatens to destroy anyone who dares to keep us apart. But my off-the-charts chemistry with Max convinces me to move into the Rose Tower, and soon I’m living and working with the wildly attractive Rose alphas.

Everything I’ve ever wanted seems to be in my grasp, especially when the lines between companion and mate start to blur. And when my stepbrother comes to claim me, I realize I don’t just want to fight to be Max’s plus-one.

I want to be the complete package.

But is there really a place for me in the House of Omega?

I love a good beta story and this one didn’t disappoint. I loved the connection between FMC and Max. They were all in with each other even without the Alphas but adding in the Alphas made it that much sweeter. Everyone brought something new to the pack. It made for a good read.

Bad Boy Wolf by Aidy Award

3 Stars

The bad boy never can resist the good girl~

Ty:

The second the shy curvy girl walked into the bar, I knew I wasn't her type. She’s a bookworm, nose stuck firmly in her laptop, and I’m the football team's bad boy. A motorcycle-riding bartender with a dirty past as the son of a lone wolf.

But when she asks me for dating lessons, I’m going to do everything I can to teach her exactly how opposites attract.

Until my past shows up to destroy the one good thing fate ever did for me.

Hunter:

I did it. I actually asked bad boy book boyfriend material to teach me how to flirt. It’s not like he’s going to fall for me. I’m the nerdy, chubby, book nerd, nothing like the hot sorority chicks always swooning over him at the bar.

Then I can use my new skills to find a guy who’ll do dirty things to me, someone just like him. Ack, I mean help me find a nice guy who’ll fit into my nice girl life. Oh geez. I’m a wreck and I’m pretty sure I’m doomed to die a virgin.

Especially when our crazy romance runs straight into a motorcycle club of... werewolves... wait... werewolves?

Just like book one, this one is short and steamy. I still wanted it to be a smidge longer and more story. Overall, I enjoyed reading it and will pick up the next one.

Hell Gate by Veronica Eden

2 Stars

Open the gate...if you dare.

The first thing I’m warned about when I arrive at the girls’ home is to stay away from the abandoned graveyard. Local urban legend claims it’s host to a gate to Hell.

Then I was dared…

The legend is as real as the monsters I’ve summoned by activating the gate. Demons guard it, waiting for skeptical idiots like me to do the ritual. Three sinfully hot, dangerously powerful demons.

This was just a weird book and not in a good way. Add in how slow going it was I struggled with reading it. The idea was there but it needed work to make it a better book.

Book 1 Twisted Legends

Amazon 

Cocky Jock by Aidy Award

3 Stars

Nerdy, chubby girls don't date quarterbacks... or werewolves.

Eli:

I just want one night off of being the all-star golden boy that the whole world, including my pack, expects great

things from. Is it too much to ask to go watch my favorite horror movies and eat popcorn?

Apparently it is.

I just might get my chance if this cute AF nerdy book girl at the bar plays defense for me. As long as I don't let my wolf get a whiff of her ripe delicious scent. The last thing I need to add onto my plate is a fated mate.

Charlize:

Go on a date or get fired - that’s the ultimatum from my boss at the Moon Bean coffee shop. But I picked a real jerk and now I’m stuck at the bar with him.

I don’t need anyone to save me, but a smart girl recognizes a good escape plan when she kisses one.

It’s not like I’m going to fall for a jock with more notches on his belt than books on his shelf. But Eli is more than that and I'm developing some crazy feelings for him.

That is until he turns into a werewolf straight out of a horror movie.

Short and sweet … well not sweet. It’s a quick read and was an interesting take on shifters. I liked the writing style but wished it was slightly longer. Other books in the series are with different characters so we will see if it gets better.

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes by Marika Ray

4 Stars

He's a hot, shirtless hockey player…and he’s my fake date for my ex-husband’s wedding. Talk about a hot flash to beat all hot flashes.

The wedding bells are ringing and my ex-husband is the groom! When my grown kids hook me up with a fake date to my ex-hubby's tropical island nuptials, I expect sun, sand, and plenty of fruity cocktails - not steamy nights with a shirtless pro hockey player!

Roman might be all swagger on the ice, but this growly, egotistical male model of perfection has a soft side too. While I battle dresses made for twenty-somethings, awkward run-ins with my ex, and unwelcome hot flashes, Roman is there to distract me with flirty compliments, stay up late with me when I can’t sleep, and make me feel vibrant and ageless.

As good as it feels, none of this is real, and Roman is way out of my league. Who’s going to believe this gorgeous, famous, muscle-bound athlete would ever date a scatterbrained, hot-flashing, insomniac nerd with twenty stubborn extra pounds around the middle?

But as the big day approaches, we grow closer. Wedding activities lead to beach walks at sunset, and his oh-so-talented fingers twist my hormones up in a whole new way. Gazing into Roman’s eyes, I start to wonder if he could be my shot at a real happily ever after.

That’s the thing about vacations, though; at some point, you need to return to reality.

Loved this story so much. Olivia has an issue with her backbone with everyone but Roman. For whatever reason he brings out her spunk. When she finally stands up for herself it was amazing. Loved how all in Roman was with her and how it all played out for these two to get their HEA.

Burn Butterfly Burn by Reese Rivers

3 Stars

What's a Butterfly to do when she gets too close to the flames?

Fly, fly away and start her own damn fire, that's what.

Savy got burnt when she gave those careless boys her heart. She flew from her cage and built a new one made from fire so no one can hurt her again. She's writing her own story now and they won't be a part of it, her book is closed to them.

Her men will do anything to get her back but when fire meets fire it causes an inferno that might turn them all to ash.

Starts right where one ended with the FMC away from the guys. They are sending her messages that she’s ignoring. It starts off 4 years later where she’s cut herself off from just about everyone and just working. She doesn’t want to get hurt again so refuses all advances from the guys. They don’t really do anything to win her back perse. They just keep putting themselves in her path until she caves. It was just an ok ending to the overall story.

Bunny Blues by Sedona Ashe

 

4 Stars

I’m a bunny on the run.

Forced to bond with a fluffle of rabbit shifters who care only for my ability to provide offspring, I’ve spent the last several months tucked away in a burrow. My matched wouldn’t disrespect our elders by publicly rejecting me, but privately, they made their lack of feelings clear by refusing to bond with me. The only time they remembered we were paired, was when I went into heat… and became fertile.

After being betrayed and hurt yet again by the men who were supposed to be my matched, I ran from the burrows. I didn’t think there was anyone who would be willing to help me until I watched a viral video of a raven-haired bunny who’d been claimed by the Alpha of the most powerful pack of wolf shifters on earth. Monroe had faced down the elders of her burrow and offered sanctuary to any bunny who needed it among her wolf pack.

Gathering my courage, I decided to travel across the country and take her up on the offer. Making the journey to Monroe’s pack isn’t the hard part. No, the far more difficult challenge is trying to convince three very persistent wolf shifters that it is impossible for me to be their mate… no matter how much I wished things were different.

But what if the elders are wrong?

What if the rejection I’d suffered from the butthole rabbit shifters means the bond can be broken?

Love this series so much. Ellora was so strong to leave for a better chance of a HEA. She worked for her ending and the fact that she ended up with wolves made me giggle so hard. I kinda was hoping for her original mates to have an epiphany and realize what they had and make it up to her and maybe join them all but that didn’t happen. Even without this redemption I enjoyed the read and can’t wait for the next one.

Book 2 Hey There, Hop Stuff

Amazon 

Knot Going Anywhere by Alisha Williams

3 Stars

After years of putting it off, I find myself ready for a pack. I’m not much of a social person, books and writing being my whole life, so meeting a pack organically is out of the question. So, when my best friend finds an ad for a Valentine's Day speed dating event, I take the leap and sign up. I only had hopes for at least a date for the holidays, but I end up leaving with a lot more. Holden, Benji and Grant are everything I was hoping for in a pack. Things happen fast, but they feel right because we’re meant to be. But, their older brother Phoenix is not very happy about the Omega his brothers bring home. He says he doesn’t want an Omega, and that his brothers can have me. Only thing is, I’m his scent match too. But you see, I have a little secret I’m not ready to tell my new pack about. I’m a world famous author with only a select few who knows the real identity of the person behind the pen name. Phoenix wants to make a deal with Marie Day, to make one of her books into a motion picture. That's not going to happen until he can pull his head out of his ass and give in to the want for me he clearly has. Because I’m a stubborn omega with nothing but time and I’m not going anywhere.

I liked this one but the drama with Nix went on way too long. You have to wait until the very end to find out what happened to lead to all the drama. It was a good read but wasn’t great.

Dance Butterfly Dance by Reese Rivers

3 Stars

Savy St. James is a sad lonely girl with too many secrets to count. She hides away in her oversized frumpy clothes and thick glasses wishing she was brave enough to be seen without her mask.

One small favor backfires and forces her into a fake date deal by the school’s hot shot quarterback. Him and his three best friends treat her like a pet to play with and are careless with her until she’s had enough and breaks the deal. But when her secrets are revealed and her masks are stripped away, they will all burn for it.

Tate Valor thinks this nerdy girl is the perfect choice to use as his shield keeping all the groupies and gold diggers off his back. Savy’s a built in tutor to help him drag his marks back up so he doesn’t get benched. He never expected the make out show he forces her to put on in public to affect him more than it does her.

Jude Dixon is the wild child, f**k boy of the team. His crazy antics that match his white blond hair, multiple piercings and slightly psycho personality couldn’t be any different from the shy little doll Tate’s brought into his orbit. He’s the first to see the treasure that she is and stakes his claim when he falls hard and fast for her even when she doesn’t want to be claimed.

Beckett James had his shot at going pro blown right along with his knee. With football no longer a choice, he’s lost and depressed. Savy’s sweet heart and peach smelling hair has more than his interest stirring. He wants to peel back the masks she hides under and see the real her.

Asher James doesn’t give a sh*t about the bookworm his friends are obsessing over. He only has one obsession, the Butterfly that dances in the cage for him. It doesn’t matter that she’s never spoken to him in two years. He wants her and only her…until Savy starts getting under his skin and he sees that maybe he’s been the one in the cage all along.

Pretty solid read. I loved Savy and how she tells the guys off repeatedly. She is incredibly strong even though she’s wealthy she doesn’t act like it. The guys each have vastly different personalities. Some of them are more interesting then other ones. The telling off continues throughout the book and she ends up walking away from them. Which was the end of this story to be continued into book 2.

Bonds Eternal by Yve Vale

3.5 Stars

A Realm War. Fragile mate bonds. And a powerful Elven mage intent on eliminating humans.

The Elven King and the Unseelie Mage plan to take everything from my mates and me. The futures of both realms are at stake, and it is up to us to stop the destruction. But our mate bonds are damaged. As we face impossible challenges, I don’t know who I can trust, not even my mates. Caught in the middle of the fray, I will do anything to safeguard the realms and thwart the war. But that also means my mates have to protect me at all costs. Emerging magical powers, a ragtag group of allies, and our desperate hope for a future will have to be enough to thwart the most powerful elves ever known to Fae.

 

This book wraps up the series nicely. It was interesting to see how it all plays out. I liked the characters for the most part. There was a bit too much whining from FMC and one of the guys was too headstrong for his own good. With the four books combined and cut down as all of them dragged at times. It was still a good story but it just needed something.

Wolf’s Pack by Auryn Hadley

3 Stars

Corner a wolf and she will always fight back.

I finally did it. I took that last step and it was everything I wanted. My relationship with my five mates has never been better. They've embraced not only me as a part of their lives, but also my daughter, and this feels like the family I always dreamed of.

I don't mean just myself and my mates, but the entire pack. They call me "Alpha." No, I'm not the Alpha, but I'm learning how to step up. I got this. I'd better, since Wolf's Run has thrown open our doors to more than just wolves, but it seems like my version of winging it is working for all of us.

But not all shifters have packs.

That doesn't mean they don't want them. These new neighbors might not be wolves, but everyone wants a community they can count on. The trick will be making sure ours doesn't fall apart in the chaos.

Or get taken from us.

Between the antics of these teenagers, the insanity of so many changes happening at once, and the enemies my mates and I have already made, things are out of control. I feel like I'm chasing my tail. Thankfully, I've learned a few new tricks.

Once, I was just the nice lady next door.

Now, this is my pack, and I've become a real bitch.

〜

Elena has come into her own but strife has to happen for the HEA. I like how it all played out. You see growth in everyone to get to the end. Definitely worth reading the series just for the uniqueness.

Pack Choice by Hannah Haze

3 Stars

Everyone around me seems to be landing their dream pack.

Not me.

I'm destined for a life of stress baking with only cats and books for company.

Why?

No pack wants to date the little sister of the notorious Stormgate brothers.

Especially when that sister is an omega with a smart mouth and a scent that's - now how did the last alpha describe it? - spicy.

Yep, no pack wants a mouthy, spicy, little Stormgate.

In fact, the only alphas I seem capable of attracting are self-proclaimed lone wolves.

My grumpy boss … the city’s notorious motorcar-champion … and the man assigned to keep me safe.

All three alphas may be hot, available and chasing me. But all three are not prepared to share.

They don't want a pack.

Which is fine.

Just dandy.

Ay okay.

Because I most definitely do not want them.

Wolf’s Call by Auryn Hadley

3 Stars

You don't have to be a wolf to show your claws, but it helps.

My five boyfriends - yes, five - are being much too patient with me. That's pissing a few people off. It seems that when living with a pack of wolves, there are certain expectations for the alpha's mate - and I suck at this. A few months ago, I had no idea shifters even existed!

I just wanted a safe home, and this is it, although it's not at all what I imagined. When an ex-girlfriend decides to make my life a living hell, pack rules say that if I want to keep my place, I need to win my own fights. That's not easy when she's young, fit, beautiful, and a wolf. I'm not.

But with the help of a few friends, a little medical advice, and a whole lot of pent up sexual frustration, one thing is going very, very well. Five boyfriends really are better than one. I just have to balance them with my child and these new pack responsibilities.

Because, this was my second chance. I'd intended to learn how to be strong, but I was thinking more about having my own opinions and less about dominance challenges! I should be focusing on the bully picking on my daughter at school. The pack's children are being singled out by some kid, and that is a problem - but this woman will not leave me alone!

So if I want to be strong, I need to stop letting others push me around.

It's time for the claws to come out.

~

Elena and her 5 men are trying to figure life out all while dealing with the pack wanting things to be normal. The pacing in this one is better than the first book. It moves at a much faster pace. Questions are answered but more pop up but it also ends in a cliffhanger ending. Interested in seeing how it ends.

Knot Forever by Evelyn Flood

4 Stars

Nova is desperate for a pack of her own.

Not for any old pack though – Nova wants a pack of alphas that will protect, cherish, and care for her the way she needs. All she wants is to be loved.

But thanks to her nightmare ex-boyfriend, every pack in town thinks she’s bad news.

When a charity auction lands her in the lap of the Kings, Nova isn’t convinced, but she’ll give it her best shot. This is her last chance, or she’ll be mated to her ex-boyfriend’s pack whether she likes it or not.

Asher, Marcus, and Seth are well-known for their ruthless ways, and they’re determined to keep Nova at bay for the 30 days they have to spend together. No omega could possibly meet their needs, so what's the point in trying?

But even three strong-willed alphas can’t stand up to an omega who knows what she wants.

It's time for these Kings to meet their queen.

Read the Trigger Warnings on this one!

Nova is just an omega looking for her forever pack, but people are working against her who should be protecting her. I love the struggle and the guys who help her even though it’s for selfish reasons. It was well paced and had good character development. Give it a shot.

Wolf’s Bane by Auryn Hadley

3 Stars

The things that go bump in the night are supposed to be headboards, not monsters.

Leaving my husband was hard. Trying to face the world alone with my teenage daughter is the sort of thing nightmares are made of, but I caught a break. My best friend just hired me for a great job. It's not anything special, simply managing the leasing office of this very fancy and highly exclusive neighborhood, yet the perks mean I get my second chance.

Speaking of perks, my rent-free house is right beside not just one handsome man, but five! Each one is hotter than the last, and all of them seem interested in me. Maybe I can't remember the last date I was on, but if I want to master being a strong woman, then this is a good place to start. It's just dating, right?

Normal life stuff.

Not so much.

Everyone around us has these strange golden eyes. Then there are the questions no one will answer. And who cares if there's a lot of wildlife running around at night? I do, especially when a wolf keeps sneaking into my backyard. I have a kid to worry about. Things have got to change before someone gets bitten!

Normal is going out the window, and fast. My neighbors say I don't belong here, and they don't mean because I'm Hispanic. Never mind that I just heard a man growl. Now they're talking about fated somethings, and I'm pretty sure they mean me.

I feel like I'm going crazy! Because when I said I wanted to learn how to be strong, this wasn't what I meant at all. Still, when it comes to taking care of my little girl, I will definitely learn how to be the biggest bitch on the block

I just hope that doesn't become literal.

I adored this weird book. This one treats lycanthropy as a STD. If you share fluids with someone who is a lycanthropy you will become a shifter. Which is different and interesting take on shifters. The book was a little slow moving but it was still a good read. Elena is trying her best to support herself and her 14-year-old daughter. She ends up with so much attention she doesn’t know what to do with herself. It does end on a cliff, but all books are out.

Knot Their Reality by Miranda May

3 Stars

Two years ago, I thought I’d found the one thing I’d been missing—a pack. Except they didn’t want me.

Now, it’s time to leave them in the past where they belong and find my pack with the help of Heated.

As the second season’s omega, I have twenty alpha and beta suitors vying for a spot in my pack. We have eight weeks to get to know one another, to unpack each other’s baggage, and to see if we can be one another’s forever.

Except, there are surprises being thrown at me left and right—leaving me completely off balance. I’m sure it’ll make great television, but can I make it through this? I want to—no, I need—to make this work. One thing they’ll learn about me is that I don’t give up.

I will find my pack, but I’m quickly realizing that leaving the past behind isn’t as simple as I once thought it would be.

I liked most of this story but there were too many men and not enough with any of them. There were also too many to keep track of who was who and it was a struggle to connect with any of them. I did enjoy the overall story and who she ended up with. It just came across as too many characters.

Your Trainer Said Hi by Indie Sparks

3 Stars

Sure, in retrospect, going into business with some guy I’d only been dating for six months sounds impulsive.

Okay, it was impulsive, but it was a good opportunity, and Heath put in as much money as I did. We were equal partners. Until he made an unauthorized withdrawal.

It’s not like he absconded to another country with the money. No, he sunk every dime into a foolproof investment. In my defense, I was vulnerable when we met, and Heath was only supposed to be my rebound guy. I never dreamed I’d have to financially rebound from him.

So now, while he’s busy hawking snake oil, trying to grow his downline, I’m out here just trying to maintain my sanity, stay on top of my game for my sales job, and keep our juice bar afloat.

But there’s always time for vengeance. Heath stole my money; I’ll take his beloved personal trainer. It’s a start.

Wick puts my body through the wringer, in the gym and out, but he’s so not my type. His storm-cloud eyes might see right through me, and his filthy mouth definitely takes my mind off my troubles for a while, but there is not a more arrogant man in the world. Like I said, so not my type. So, why do I keep seeing him?

I loved book one and was hoping this one would be just as good. Nadine just frustrated me. She kept making stupid mistakes and never really learned from them. She’s all in with guys who suck but the one that is good for her she’s all nope with him. They do end up together, but it takes way too long and too much drama to get there. The writing style was the same as book one so if you liked that one you will probably enjoy this one too. I struggled with the characters this time.

Knot My Reality by Miranda May

3 Stars

I have everything that I could possibly want—money, power, and success. The only thing I’m missing is the one thing that every omega needs: a pack.

My best friend and co-founder, Tessa, and I have made our company a success by creating apps for fellow omegas. Knotted allows omegas to find alphas for one-time assistance with their heat, and Mated allows omegas to search for their forever packs in a safe environment. But now it’s time to expand our brand with Heated—an experimental reality television show that will follow an omega who is closing in on their heat as they try to choose amongst suitors who want to be a part of their pack. Because who wouldn’t want to have their struggle to find a pack televised for the masses to see?

Deciding to kill two birds with one stone by launching my career to the next level while also getting my friends and family off my back—I will be the first omega on Heated.

With only eight weeks until my heat, I didn’t realize how overwhelming it would be to be constantly surrounded by twenty hot, willing men who are all vying for my attention while also trying to run the show from behind the scenes. I can't seem to allow the people I hired to do their jobs—after all, I’m the only one I can trust besides Tessa, right? Because if this fails, it’s all on me.

Can this control freak omega learn to let go and find her pack? Or will Heated prove to be Bree’s first and greatest failure?

This was an interesting why choose omegaverse. I was pleasantly surprised by the twist of her looking for love on a game show for her heat. I loved watching Bree get her HEA with her men even though she shouldn’t have ended up with them. Definitely worth reading.

Violet Flames by Kitt Lynn

3 Stars

There’s a belief among the patients at Havenfield that broken omegas end up with broken packs. After all, no alpha wants a traumatized omega as a mate….that is, unless they’re refused at a “proper” institution. Then they settle for us. But I’m not looking to settle. At twenty-eight years old, I’m happy to live out the rest of my days without an alpha telling me what to do. Even if that means I won’t live much longer—omegas my age simply don’t survive very long without a pack to tend to them. But I’m okay with that. I’ll die clinging to the last memories of the love of my life, and whatever is left of my pride. But my doctors have other plans. Forced to live with a pack I don’t know to nurse their sick omega back to health, I’ve decided I’m done doing as I'm told. Eager submission was never my strong suit.

I wanted more of a connection between the pack and Violet. It never gelt like they truly wanted her for her. It always felt like they needed her for Brin, and it was all about Brin. They never really addressed her history and just expected her to do what they wanted. I did enjoy the read and I loved Violet. I just wished for some additional info in the story. If you’ve enjoyed other stories by Kitt Lynn, you will like this one.
