I'm kind of surprised with how much I'm enjoying this series. I can definitely appreciate a lot of the things Nora Phoenix touches on in this unique way, such as gender roles, identity, and sexuality. I like how this story forgoes the usual alpha, beta, and omega roles in the relationship between Sivney, Lev, and Naran. We really learn a lot more about Lev and his background and get an inside look at his struggles with his role as an alpha and how that's perceived. They aren't necessarily my favorite relationship in this series, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading about them and their place in the Hayes pack. We didn't get quite as much POV from the other members of the Hayes pack like in previous books, but I'm not as bothered by that. I think the development and evolution of this throuple required the attention it got. This is definitely a slow burn, and it's a satisfying one. I am definitely interested to see what more this relationship has in store and where the Hayes pack is headed.

Okay. Naran was a little shit for 70% of this book. Dude, you're a grown ass man, the oldest in this triad, and you're acting like an asshole for literally no reason?

I really liked Sivney and the addition of no penetrative sex (in an omegaverse series??? omg so exciting) and Lev was the true definition of a himbo (so obvi I love him). Neither of them deserve to deal with Naran...

3.5 stars.

So many questions arise. What's with Palani? Will Naran heal if he shifts? What will Lev settle on? I can't wait to find out.

It's a big HFN in the way that I don't completely feel or like the pairing yet, so I’m hoping that will change in the next book.

This series is just amazing and Nora's stories just get better and more involving. We have three men with differing personalities, backgrounds and problems who come together amid times that are tough outside of the pack whilst within they become stronger together.
Sivney arrives near to his due date and in need of shelter and help but still needing to keep his independence. He ends up taking care of Naran, the PI that the pack has been using for years but got seriously injured during his last job. Going from fully active and productive alpha in the pack to a disabled, angry recluse is a huge change for Naran to deal with. Lev was betrayed by Naran before coming to the Hayes pack and is fighting his anger whilst wanting to be a useful and loved member of the pack.
These characters interact so well! There is obviously a hell of a lot of emotion going around the three of them with everything that they have going on individually before we even get into the friendships that they start to build. I love that that's what happens first. A support system kind of becomes established, especially for Naran who has lost the most recently. There is still the drama of everything that is going on in the outside world and how it may impact the pack but mostly we focus within, even getting a chapter with the original MC's - Lidon, Vienno, Enar and Palani.
Everything does not run smoothly but is handled so well by the MC's with a lot of support given from those already in the pack. My heart went out to each man for what they have been through so far but as they heal each other and come together, mostly unknowingly, there's the possibility of a HEA for three men that never expected it for themselves let alone with two other men.
I cannot recommend this great addition to the Irresistible Omegas series enough. High emotions run throughout with great relationship building and continuing drama for the Hayes pack. So excited for book 7 and seeing how this story ends for Sivney, Naran and Lev.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

I just want to say that this book would have been four stars. Up until babyface and boss. I'm sorry. I cringed so hard. And boy? I don't like daddy-son or boy. I'd be fine with just daddy, but no, no, no, no. No. Babyface? BABYFACE? JESUS.

Also the forgiveness happened too quickly. It was just a...when had the hate gone? Nope. Bray's group and the OG four are still the only ones I like. Hopefully I like Maz/Lucan.
