Synopsis

Mom told me I was a Beta.

She lied.

I’m an Omega.


I'd always lived a quiet, ordinary life. I never expected anything special would happen to me, but after I present as an Omega, my whole world changes. I lose my home, my family, and even my identity. Then there’s the Alpha my mom promised me to. A man as wealthy as he is cruel.


Now I live in a gilded cage, my life full of constant abuse, and one I dream of escaping. When my Alpha throws yet another party to show me off, I see a chance to run and take it. Society says no Omega can last long without her Alpha, but after a year spent covering bruises, I’m willing to risk it. And if I go into heat? I’ll deal with that problem when I’m far, far away from him .


In my desperate bid for freedom, I run into three hot-as-hell Alphas who smell as good as they look. Not only do they notice my bruises, they can’t miss the way I flinch away from their touch. Yet to my surprise, when trouble hurtles our way, they take over my escape and carry me away to their mansion. I’ll be safe there, they say. I wish I could believe them.


These men seem to want to protect me, but I know all the cruel things one Alpha is capable of. But being at the mercy of three of them?



RUNAWAY OMEGA is a standalone non-shifter Omegaverse romance featuring a traumatized heroine and three sweet & possessive Alphas looking to dote on their precious Omega. HEA guaranteed.


Review

I received Runaway Omega in return for an honest review from Chaotic Creatives. 


I loved Everleigh so much she's on the run from her abusive alpha and takes the chance with pack Ashe to escape but ends up finding her sent mates. However, after her experience with her ex she's determined to not be tied to another alpha. The more time she spends with pack Ashe makes her question everything. 


I love the guys in pack Ashe, they know that Everleigh is meant to be with them but that she's dealing with a lot of trauma and don't push her. They are willing to let her walk away as long as she's happy. I loved them all they just complement each other and it works so well for Everleigh. They have this sweet yet very steamy chemistry. 


This is my first book by the author and I'm hooked I ended up devouring this one in just one afternoon. It's chunky well over 600 pages but the story is never lacking. It was easy to get lost in the story and hard to put down. The author has a beautiful way of creating engaging characters you can't help falling in love with. I enjoyed Runaway Omega and can't wait to start the next one.

Synopsis

A grumpy, reclusive New York billionaire meets his match in the maid who makes his bed (in more ways than one).


When an older guy with a dirty grin and an expensive suit flirts with me from the next barstool, I don’t realize I’m about to have a one-night stand with the man I desperately want to work for.


After a night that leaves my world (and body) shaken, I start my summer job housekeeping in a five-star hotel even though I’m determined to kickstart my career in tech. As I dust and polish the Park Suite, in walks Mr. Dirty Grin—now with an icy glare.


Why is the man from last night who was so charming (and good with his tongue) so furious this morning? As I piece together the puzzle, I discover the guest in the Park Suite is none other than Ben Fort, the reclusive tech mogul I want to work for.


Ben has kept his identity hidden for years and he wants to know how I figured him out overnight.


As he questions me, I don’t waste time telling him he’s a (super-hot) grump who needs to lighten up—and give me a job.


I don’t want to sleep my way to the top, and he doesn’t trust me. But neither of us can resist the sizzling sparks that fly every time I fluff his pillows.


Review


I received The Boss + The Maid = Chemistry in return for an honest review from Wildfire Marketing. 


I loved Efa so much she's such a great character I really felt that I was able to connect with her right from the start. She has this steamy instant connection with Bennett that just works even if he's keeping his real identity a secret. I loved the banter between them they just have this fantastic chemistry you can't help cheering them on through the whole book. 


I ended up devouring this one in just one afternoon I couldn't put it down and had to see how it would all play out for Efa and Bennett with everything they have to overcome. I loved the romance it was just perfectly written. The characters are engaging you just can't help falling in love with them. Especially when the one night turns into a relationship it's just adorable. 


This isn't my first book by the author so I had some high expectations for The Boss + The Maid = Chemistry and they exceeded my expectations. The author blew this one out of the water it might be my favorite by her but everything by her I've read has been awesome. The author has a beautiful gift for creating captivating stories to get lost in. I loved every moment of the book and can't wait to continue the series with the next one.

Synopsis

I was an omega in heat.

One wrong choice.

And I lost everything.


For two years, I’ve longed to flee my cage. Alphas bought me, traded me, and constantly abused me. They taught me the only good alpha is a dead alpha. Now, I'm a pregnant omega with no hope of escape until one desperate act changes everything.


It was going to be me against the world until Lucas Security hurtled into my life. I have never met three men more determined to protect me. But it’s going to take more than two delicious smelling alphas to convince me I can trust them, or a handsome beta on a mission to impress me.


Garrison, Blaine, and Vaughn have nothing I want. They seem to have a default mode set to guard me, and they drop everything to take me to doctor’s appointments. But I know better. This world has taught me to rely only on myself. Trouble is hunting me down, and if I want to survive, I might just have to put my faith in Pack Lucas.


I’ve spent years learning to keep people out. So why do I keep wanting to let them in?

Review

I received Captive Omega in return for an honest review from Chaotic Creatives. 


Captive Omega is the 2nd installment in Their Precious Omega. The story while a standalone has the prior books characters sprinkled throughout the story and I feel that you need to read the first. I loved Resa so much she's such a great character and I'm glad this is her story from the little bit we got to meet her in the prior book. These men are a prime example why choose is my favorite trope they each complement, support and just work perfectly together. I couldn't pick a favorite as they only work so well together. 


I'm a tad bit obsessed with the omegaverse trope right now and I knew the moment I read the synopsis that I had to read them both and ended up devouring them one after another over the course of a couple of days. The characters are unique and each one brings something amazing to the pack I just loved them all. I felt like I really was able to connect with them as they are engaging and felt so real with real life issues. 


These are my first books by the author but I'm obsessed with her storytelling. Each story is beautifully written with characters I fell in love with and stories that I didn't want to end. I was hooked from the very first page till the last and ended up reading Captive Omega in just one long afternoon as it's chunky. I loved every moment it gave me all the feels even made me cry happy tears. I'm obsessed with the authors stories she's going on my auto buy list because I can't wait for the next one. Highly recommend if you like an action packed steamy why choose romance.
