Omega Merger by Roxy Collins

4 Stars

Betas are made for business, not pleasure.

We’re intelligent, hard-working, and unlike alphas and omegas, we’re not ruled by our hormones.

That’s how I’ve earned the title of Alpha Wrangler. No matter how much testosterone floods a boardroom, I can always rise above it and get the job done.

Which wins me the plum job of negotiating one of the biggest mergers in the country. All I need are a couple of signatures, and then I can use my bonus to buy an apartment with Kelvin, my beta assistant and best-friend-with-benefits.

But all that comes crashing down when I’m triggered by a switch.

My hidden omega nature takes over, hungry for knots, and bites, and a pack of my own.

This was a different omega book. It was interesting. Maddie thought she was a beta and wasn't interested in a pack. She was in Friends with Benefits with her roommate Kel. He's meant for a pack and doesn't think they will be together. I loved the merging of the packs for her and the willingness to bend and change for each other. The hardest part of the book was with Max.  A good addition to the omega trope.

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.

The last couple of chapters ruined this book for me. The book was going along nicely, and I was enjoying how everything was playing out. There's a point where everything goes from plodding along to rush rush rush must conclude the story to the point it hurt the story. It felt like the author was having fun and then realized her word count was close, so they had to finish. The first half was a solid 4 the last bit was a 2 so 3 stars - very disappointing.

Knotty Omega by Jessica Winters

4 Stars

Cady has her dream job. Her dedication to her career and omega designation makes her uniquely qualified to write the advice column that’s turned into a national sensation: The Knotty Omega.
The cute beta at work keeps flirting with her, and while she wishes things could be different, the beta has a bite mark- he’s already bonded to a pack.
And a pack is the last thing Cady wants.
When her experimental drug that makes her smell bonded is literally flushed down the toilet, her position as advice columnist is called into question.
How can she give advice on pack life if she doesn’t have one?
A deal with the Editor in Chief has her searching for the one thing she never wanted.
Will the cute beta from work and his pack finally tear down her walls? Or will she forever give up her position as:
The Knotty Omega

I loved this take on fated mates. I loved the pack and how FMC fit in with them. The bad guy was obvious. My biggest issue was her family was mentioned but never followed up with at all and it felt like it should have been. Overall, it was a good read.

Talk about Rivalry by Jarica James

3 Stars

I’m an omega destined to never find her mates…

I can’t scent potential mates, my heats are messed up, and my own scent is nonexistent, meaning scent-matches are not in the cards for me.

The worst part is that I’m in love with my best friend’s brother, Maverick, and Taylor, a sassy omega I can’t get enough of. Even if they were interested, I can’t stand the thought of being left heartbroken when they do find their mates.

When Maverick is asked on a date… and he accepts, I know I have to do something. I recruit Taylor to help me sabotage this date before it’s too late.

He agrees, but the only problem is he brings his best friend Leo along, and the new beta in town makes it very clear he wants a date in exchange for his help.

My world is thrown into chaos as we all grow closer and small slips of scents start to hit me. They think there’s hope, I’m too scared to agree.

My doctor thinks he has a solution, but am I willing to risk the potential heartbreak if he’s wrong?

The back and forth with Lindsey irritated me so much. Lindsey was all about we aren’t scent matches so we can’t be together but she didn’t have a scent until later in the book. So even though the guys were all in and wanted her no matter what she hemmed and hawed about being together. She kept running away from that and it irritated me so much and if not for this I would have enjoyed the story more.

Knot and Cold by RK Pierce

2 Stars

One omega's biggest mistake is about to become a Christmas miracle.

A fresh start in a new city is exactly what Danity finds when she moves several hours from home, but what she doesn't count on is the colder weather...or the freak snowstorm that leaves her stranded in the middle of town.

Forced to take shelter in a tattoo shop, Danity finds herself trapped with three sexy alphas and one gorgeous, intriguing omega. It's not ideal, but with nowhere else to go, she has to grin and bear the imperfect circumstances.

Will they all survive being snowed in together? Or will the heat between them leave them burned?

I knew this was a short story going into it but I still feel you need a complete story and this didn’t feel like it. It needed to be fleshed out more than it was. It felt like the book ended just as it was getting started. If this continues into one of the other honeyverse books than it needs to clearly say that. Overall, there are better omegaverse books out there that are full stories that I love and this isn’t one I will remember in a couple of months.

Shattered Stars by Hannah Haze

4 Stars

The more I discover about my mysterious past, the deeper I'm pulled into a web of mysteries, secrets and lies

And the more I'm pulled towards the men fate has destined are mine.

Well fate can go to hell.

I can't forget the way they’ve treated me and I certainly can’t forgive the hurt.

I won't give in to my feelings no matter how much they plead.

At least that's my plan until fate intervenes again and throws all our lives into danger.

So frustrated by the end of this book. It ends on a cliff and the next book isn’t out. More info is revealed and Rhi has more magic than we know. Curious to see where the last book takes us. The guys don’t really make up for being dicks but I loved how they’ve all fallen. Can’t wait for the conclusion.

Twisted Ties by Hannah Haze

4 Stars

Secret memories locked in my head, an assassin on my tail, and strange powers I shouldn't possess are the least of my problems. Because now I'm bonded to a man I barely know.

My body may be pulled towards him, but my heart can't forgive his betrayal.

And he isn't the only one.

I'm sick of being treated this way and I'm sick of not knowing who I really am.

No more secrets. No more lies.

I'm determined to learn the truth.

No matter what the cost.

More information is revealed in this book for everyone. I still love Rhi but the guys are still irritating me. OOOPPPSS I guess we’re fated so sorry for being a dick was the mantra. This is not a grovel and I don’t like guys who screw up not making it up. I still loved the progress in this book but again it ends on another cliff and it royal sucks.

Fractured Fate by Hannah Haze

4 Stars

Fate wouldn’t tie me to these men, would it?

Sent to the ruthless academy for magicals after years hiding from the authorities, I'm behind, poor and, with my pet pig in tow, struggling to fit in.

No surprises I'm picked out for ridicule by the other students - as well as the teachers.

And four men in particular seem determined to make my life here hell.

The man who caught me.

My grumpy, sharp-tongued professor.

The star of the school's dueling team.

And the academy's deadly heart-breaker.

They all find their own special way of torturing me, but I'm determined not to bow.

I hate them.

And yet when I'm with them, I feel like a fish on a hook, tugged in their direction, my insides swirling with a lot more than simply hate.

Is this magic or something far more dangerous?

I loved this academy book. Rhy made the book. She was kept hidden and away from the magical for a reason but we still don’t know why by the end of the book. The guys are major dicks throughout. Winnie is the best BFF ever. She draws Rhi out and gets her to open up. I loved Pip the pig as the pet. You don’t normally see pigs as pets, so I liked it. This does end on a cliff and luckily the next is out otherwise I would be mad. The book is building up to an interesting story but not quite there yet.

Monster’s Desire by Jillian West

3.5 Stars

The picturesque town of North Falls is as beautiful as it is deadly.

When Nadia is called to help deliver a human woman's little elven babies, she knows she can't say no. After all, she's masquerading as a fertility witch since blood witches were hunted out of existence several generations ago.

But North Falls isn't like any other sanctuary city Nadia has been to and the differences are enough to make her blood boil.

Haven is run by decent monsters, but a corrupt council with an agenda of their own leads North Falls. The ward around their town is failing and they aren't above compelling the witch to their bidding.

Everything will have to fall into place for her to survive the trip. Unfortunately for Nadia, her luck has never been all that great. Add in a rogue alpha wolf, a council-appointed vampire guard who would be more accurately described as a spy, and a couple of demons from her past and it looks like she might just have a fighting chance.

Well, until the council ups the ante that is. Will her newfound protectors be enough to keep her alive? Or will they run when they learn her secrets?

I was so looking forward to this one but it wasn’t as good as the first two. I missed all the original characters and felt there was a pacing issue. There were times it moved but other times I was frustrated with no movement at all. Overall, it was fine and a nice way to round out the series.

Book 3 A Monstrous World

Amazon 

Monster’s Wife by Jillian West

4 Stars

The picturesque town of Haven may offer sanctuary for all, but the irony is getting harder to miss: monsters are vanishing.

Aline knows better than to meddle. The runaway Princess of Faere learned the hard way what happens when others see what her magic can do.

No, it's far better to focus on her own problems like running The Monster's Den and staying off the paranormal council's radar.

Tragedy strikes Haven as things are finally starting to come together for the lonely fae, and Aline has no choice but to intervene.

The blows keep coming when the paranormal council initiates a full-scale inquiry into why monsters vanish from Haven.

It seems her house of cards is about to tumble.

Can she trust the ghosts of her past and the unhinged monsters desperate to be a part of her future to help keep her safe?

Will they even want to when they see what she's capable of?

There is some overlap with the first book. It was interesting to read and see it from a different perspective. I also loved the give and take between FMC and her men. The original mates were very much misunderstood and I feel bad for them. The continued world building in this book adds to the overall series. Can’t wait for the third one.

Book 2 A Monstrous World

Pack Dutton Part One by Megan Cain

3 Stars

Biology’s a bitch, and I’m the punchline.

I spent the first eighteen years of my life thinking I was a beta. But when my omega designation hit, my uncle had already sold me to a cult of alpha worshiping psychos. When their leader decides to claim me as his fifth wife, I realize I’m never getting out.

Until my saviors appear in the form of an FBI pack that raids the compound and saves me.

Crew, Rhett, Kellan, and Jude aren’t what I expected, but they might be exactly what I need to survive the new world I’m thrown into. Omega rights are being decimated by new laws at every turn, and when you’re a trophy for the highest bidder, there’s no such thing as playing fair.

But the one thing I am sure of? Pack Dutton is playing for keeps, and I’m the prize.

The rating for this can go up once part 2 is out but the ending was just so bad. Hazel is kidnapped and it just ends. The next book isn’t out until August, and I am mad about it. For this specific book. I enjoyed the characters and the give and take with the pack. I wanted more world buildings to explain why they do what they do. I very much need the next one.

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.

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.

Finding Their Omega by Sadie Moss

2.5 Stars

Ava never wanted a pack. She was happy pretending to be a beta, taking blockers to prevent her heat and perfume until she gets a bad batch a perfumes at the worst time. She’s rescued by a strange man who just wants to help. From the moment he saved her she knows she’s in trouble as the rest of his pack smells just as good. Will she be able to go back to being a beta or will she fall?

I wanted to like this more than I did. There were issues within the pack and I didn’t really feel there was connection between pack. At one point FMC was in danger and the rest of the pack was just meh about it. The books needed some work and it could have been better.

Ember and her Marshals by Rosemary A John

2 Stars/3 Stars

Ember thought she had her forever until he disappeared. Ending up in custody not expecting to ever get out she gets comfort from where she can. When they put her up for auction, she was not anticipating her the mate who left her to get her. There’s more at play then she realizes but she’s not sure she can trust anyone let alone the man who already took another omega but the men just might prove her wrong.

I wanted to like this more than I did. The ad I saw described it differently than the actual book, so I had expectations that were not met. That is probably why its rating is so low. It was fine omegaverse book. Nothing really happens in the book. Issues are brought up with the world at large and nothing seems to be resolved. The pack comes together and that is it. I also didn’t like most of the pack which made it harder to read. Meh skipping.

Book 2 Pack Bonds

Amazon 

Saving Grace by Colette Rhodes

 

2 Stars

Grace has zero soul bonds because of the gods but she is now the Prophetis. Her and her men may be separated but they can still defeat the gods and come back together if they work hard…but will they?

This series started off so good and then it got bogged down. I’ve said it with other reviews, but the five books should have been whittled down to 3 books. Each man didn’t need to have an individual book. This one just made me feel disconnected as each of the characters did their own thing to accomplish the goals to defeat the gods. The group doesn’t get back together until the very end and it seemed rushed. That was my biggest issue. The next one is there were a lot of loose threads that may or may not be in the next series/book but it frustrated me. I also wanted to know what happened with Grace’s parents and we saw a bit but not the overall conclusion. Overall, I wish I had skipped the series because it turned out so bad.

Dare Not by Colette Rhodes

3 Stars

Dare is angry about the murder of his mother and isn’t sure he wants to head over to Greece to meet up with Grace and her other soul bonds. They need him to further their goals against the gods. Will he be able to let go of his anger and hurt and love Grace?

This one is just like book 3 and is unnecessarily drawn out. It was nice to see Grace get all of her men, but it took way to long to get there. It felt like the author wanted to dedicate a book to each guy which is nice if you have the plot for it but this very much felt like it should have been 2 books so far and then one more book to conclude the overarching plot.

Wild Game by Colette Rhodes

 

3 Stars

Wild made a mistake 5 years ago by pissing off a god. He’s paid for it since. Now he’s found his soul bond but doesn’t feel he deserves her. When her life is put at risk he refuses to stay away. Will he be able to work through his history and step up for Grace?

This book has a massive pacing issue. The plot plods along and then we get an information dump. Then it plods along for a while and then info dump. I struggled getting through this one but it was still good ish. There were parts of the book that I skimmed because they didn’t add anything to the story. I still enjoyed most of this and felt the characters grew and changed but I am getting frustrated.

Silver Bullet by Colette Rhodes

4 Stars

Every night Bullet visits Grace in her dreams, and she forgets him when she wakes but now he’s able to be with her in person but he’s not sure which path will keep her safe. Life is getting more complicated every day, and his goddess is not supporting him like she used to. What path is the correct one to take?

I enjoyed this one about as much as the first one, but it felt like it’s being drawn out. Why does Grace have to wait to meet all her mates? It’s like the author wanted an individual book per mate but she knows of all of them and she just can’t meet them just yet per Bullet. It makes the book seem a little on the slower side but still good. Hoping the rest of the books pick up.

Book 2 State of Grace

Run Riot by Colette Rhodes

4 Stars

By the time Grace reaches 25 she’s supposed to have her four fated mates, but she doesn’t. She has zero soul bonds and is tired of the pity from her community. To get away from this she moves out on her own. When she is called on by a human friend for help and finds her first soul bond. The problem he’s a daemon and not agathos. What will she do?

I loved seeing Grace come into her own. She starts off with little rebellions and slowly grows into a stronger woman. I don’t know if I like where it ended. All of the books are out so I will check out the next one to see where this is going.
