Travis hides in solitude in his remote chalet on the border of the Fool’s Mountain National Park. Working from home, he routinely resists his brother’s attempts to lure him back to the city. Since his engagement failed, his life is on standby, but Travis likes it that way. Until one day, after a flood in the park, he finds an unconscious young man on the riverbank. Assuming he’s a hiker who got swept up by the river, Travis brings him to the chalet, intent on summoning help from there.
Except Micah wasn’t hiking. He’s on the run, scared, and desperate. And he’s in heat. Maybe he can convince the kind, burly alpha who found him to help him. In every way.

Precious is an erotic love story, inspired by MM omegaverse romance. 

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Roe Horvat's Precious is one hell of a steamy omegaverse romance. 

An omega in heat, the scent that he can't resist, and knotting with the stranger. When Travis finds Micah, he not only saves him from the elements, he saves him from his heat. 

Holy sex! This story is oozing with sex scenes. The beauty of it, however, is the amount of intense emotion put into those scenes. The sex is to help Micah with his heat, but it cements the bond more and more between the two each time. 

The love and tenderness is amazing. The way Travis sooths Micah is beautiful. And the development of the connection between the two is awesome. 

Did I mention the sex? Words can't do it justice. Sex, sex, and more sex. Heat sex with knotting, fisting and womb sex. Day after day. It is smoking!

Honestly, I am still shocked and impressed with the sex scenes. Normally one has to be in a certain mood to read a book that's mostly sex. But this one is so unique. With all the emotions throughout the scenes, and all the different ways the sex is both had and described, it never is just about the sex. Never. If you're someone who doesn't always want to read the sex scenes, and skips them sometimes, skip this book. Not only is this book chapter after chapter of sex, but each scene adds to the development of the story and can't be skipped. 

There's also danger and action, including an attempted rape scene. Yes, stay clear if that's a trigger for you. 

Overall, Precious is the perfect book the next time you're in the mood for a sex filled omegaverse read. This Roe Horvat romance will not leave you disappointed.

"I don't know what to do with you."

A Socially Conscious Alpha

Selfless heir to the Rutledge family fortune, Thaddeus Rutledge leads a life of privilege he'd rather not fall back on. After returning home to Aurora from military deployment, he follows his heart and opens a community soup kitchen to serve the less fortunate. But no matter how much he gives, something's missing. All Thaddeus wants is someone who can love him for who he is, not what he can do for them.

A Runaway Omega

Seth Cooper is locked in a gilded cage. Abandoned as a baby and taken in by The White Lotus brothel, he's learned that as an omega, he has no value other than in service to the alpha clientele. Still, Seth can't help but wonder if somewhere out there, there's an alpha who could treat him right.

A Rescue Of Two Hearts

When a medical emergency gives Seth the out he so desperately wants, it's up to Thaddeus to decide his fate: either give Seth up to the men hunting him down, or shelter him and risk it all for love.

Love Me is a 33,000 word stand-alone novella set in an alpha/beta/omega universe. It contains alpha/omega knotting, loving and depending on each other to be exactly what the other needs.

Review 

My Rating - 4 Stars!

I enjoyed Piper Scott's Love Me when I first read it. Upon re-reading it, I am reminded of how sweet it is.

Seth is under his abuser's control, as one of his top paying whore. Stuck working at a brothel, full of boys who were taken and forced into this life, Seth manages to escape. And Thaddeus is there to save him. 

Seth is so darn loveable, such a sympathetic character. And so darn brave. As a runaway, he faces danger, but it's never a scary thing, as things wrap up quickly.

Seth and Tad are good together, but their sex scene is way too fast. I definitely would have preferred more detail. 😜 

This story is one of reclaiming one's life, having the ability to choice. It's a story of falling in love with someone who not only loves you back, but who also saves you. Seth has a chance at a real life for a change, which is super sweet.

Love Me's a good story, but it's so short that I couldn't get as invested in it as I'd prefer. With just 99 pages, it's a super short, quick, insta-love romance.

Fresh Start (Orchard Ridge Omegas #3) by Braylon Black

Amazon Link

Goodreads Link

Blurb

Elias Baker has nowhere to turn. On the run from his abusive ex, the twenty year old omega is hungry, homeless, penniless… and pregnant. But hitching rides from strangers and sleeping outdoors every night is a vast improvement over spending one more minute with the monster ex who stole away his dignity and self-worth. When a handsome small town sheriff catches Elias trespassing, the older alpha offers him help instead of handcuffs, and a chance to get back on his feet.

Sheriff Jaxon Hughes is well-loved by the residents of Orchard Ridge. The tall, sandy haired alpha is kind, diplomatic, and forgiving with the community he serves. But his dry sense of humor and folksy charm mask a painful past and a deep loneliness. After wasting half his life trapped in a sham marriage, newly divorced Jaxon isn’t sure where to go from here, or even what he wants out of life. Plus, he’s bored to death policing this dully peaceful town, where nothing exciting ever seems to happen.

When Jaxon casts his eyes on the frightened, vulnerable Elias, Jaxon’s big heart compels him to help the young omega in whatever way he can. At first glance, Jaxon and Elias seem to have little in common, but their effortless chemistry and easy-going rapport soon leads to a deep, affectionate bond. Both are wounded, and both find their salvation in each other— but as their friendship grows, so does their undeniable, powerful attraction.

Being with Elias gives Jaxon clarity, stability, and purpose for the first time in his life. Elias feels he may have found the alpha of his dreams— the one man who truly loves and accepts him for who he is. But Elias’s baby bump is growing bigger, and soon he’ll no longer be able to hide the truth. He’s terrified to break the news to Jaxon. After all, what alpha wants to raise another man’s baby?

Fully preoccupied with their new romance, neither Jaxon nor Elias realize that a predator lurks in the shadows, ready and waiting for the perfect moment to strike, putting not only their relationship at dire risk— but also their lives.

Warning: While this book isn't super dark, it does contain some potentially triggering scenes of gun violence, attempted sexual assault, and references to domestic abuse.

Review 

My Rating - 4 Stars!

Braylon Black's Fresh Start is a fun Omegaverse romance. 

Elias and Jaxon meet when Jax takes in the homeless omega, starting a wonderful romance.

I love the age difference, and Jaxon's intense need to care for this omega. His desire to protect and help Elias is natural and absolute.

The writing is good, with a great pace and two fantastic main characters. 

This romance is a story of doubts, fears, self-loathing, and regrets. It's a story of self-healing and self-forgiveness. Unfortunately for Elias, it's also a story of abuse. Elias' background is tragic and horrific. It's tough to read, but well done. I found it to be beautiful and tender.

Fresh Start is touching story of finding love and a wonderful future after enduring abuse and despair. Braylon Black has definitely entertained me with this cute story.

For a man on the run, is finding love a good enough reason to stay? And for a man who doesn’t want to leave, is a secret enough reason to walk away?

Even though a bad situation brings Tyler and Jarod together, they quickly find the good in their relationship. But when Tyler falls in love and finds the feelings returned, he’s forced to question if his and Jarod’s relationship is worth risking his freedom, his life, and their hearts.

Jarod knows Tyler is hiding something, but his fear of scaring Tyler away has him accepting Tyler’s silence. But instead of keeping Tyler close, Jarod’s avoidance ultimately leads to Tyler being taken away, leaving Jarod clueless and unable to help the man he loves.

Love, Trust, and Secrets is a story whose main focus is the love between two men and all the trial and tribulations that come with that love.

Review 

My Rating - 4 Stars!

Love, Trust and Secrets is a wonderful story by LA Bryce. Working on the love, struggling with the trust, and heavy on the secrets, the title says it all.

Jared meets Tyler when Tyler's drugged at a bar. Luckily Jared's able to save him. Tyler's a runaway who's hiding from his past, and I fell for him as easily as Jared did.

These two are hot together, with the need being high and the sex being hot. But, not just physical, it's the emotional side of their sex that tugged at my heart strings. Wow, what a moment, as Jared thanks Tyler for the gift of making love to him. Swoon. Just swoon.

Their story involves a troublesome ex, a great mystery, and lots of twists and turns. Well written, the riveting danger kept me worrying and guessing throughout.

Love, Trust and Secrets is a story full of emotion and heart. I definitely enjoyed this amazing book and recommend it to anyone looking for a good angsty  mystery/romance.

About The Author

I've been telling stories for as long as I can remember; my parents tell me it's been going on even further back than that and not always at the appropriate times. Now I choose to use my gift for good.

I enjoy meeting new people, even if they're only in my head.

I believe love comes in all different packages and each should be wrapped in a ribbon and cherished.

I'm currently working on a contemporary romance with a splash of suspense. I get a thrill coming up with unexpected and usually dangerous situations for my characters to be in and then thinking of extraordinary ways for them to escape with outcomes that deviate from the expected.

I live with my family in the Northeast where we enjoy white winters, balmy summers, a spring flurried with fragrant flowers, and a fall filled with piles of leaves to dive in to. Our small town offers the old world charm of knowing your neighbor and its location enables us to take off for dinner in a city known for its beautiful skyline or to an afternoon playing in the sand of some of the best beaches found in the United States.

For me, writing is relaxation for the soul and reading is its nourishment.
