Looking forward to more
This is a different take on the Omegaverse A/O/B dynamic. The story is action packed, super sexy, and has a lot of emotional ups and downs. It's not a slow burn romance; it sucks you into the sexy times fairly quickly. It's not as dark as some stories I have read, but I love the D/s elements and all the spanking scenes. This is one series that I'm excited to continue.

This has been sat on my kindle for far too long, and after reading [b:Omega Awakening|56196382|Omega Awakening (The Controllers, #0.5)|L.V. Lane|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1607332155l/56196382._SY75_.jpg|78789922] - written after this but set before - I knew I had to rectify that oversight. Whilst this wasn't quite at the same level as OA it was still an incredibly enjoyable read. It didn't feature as many of the dynamic traits as one would normally expect in an omegaverse - no nesting, knotting, bonds etc. - but that was due to those factors not being appropriate to the storyline.
Where this fell down a little for me, (and bear in mind I'm rating this 3.5 stars as I definitely enjoyed it), was that it focused too much on the sex/domination aspects. For me a really good omegaverse story is about more than just the sex. There are some amazing story aspects and plot devices but they were used more as a way to link sex scenes together than to move the story forward. If the author had flipped things, so that the intimate moments linked the rest of the story and enhanced rather than - no pun intended - dominated it.
If we had been given the chance to see Eloise and Logan in neutral settings, I would definitely have felt a stronger connection to them, particularly given that we only really get Eloise's point of view in the story. That said I read this in just over a day, and it only took that long because I had to go out to work! I'm also definitely going to continue reading this series.

3.5 stars
“You lost yourself for a while, didn’t you? And now you’re weak and helpless. Watching you fussing and fretting while I finger your ass is a—joy.”
nowhere near as good as Omega Awakening, I did still enjoy this book very much. It is about a completely different couple but the story continues with the enemies being a pain in the ass. I had a hard time seeing the connection between the Alpha and his new omega in this book but I’m hoping that the next book is better.
Raunchy sex scenes though. I loved that.
Lol

A great new edition to the Omegauniverse!
I really really enjoyed this book. It was easy to understand the different dynamics.
One thing I really missed though, which I kept waiting for was the knotting, and that just never happened. I felt quite bereft,reading these really good erotic scenes, but an Alpha/Omega book (mf) without knotting frustrated me to no end, because of that I decided to give it 4 stars instead of 5. Because for me personally it's a must!
I hope the 2nd book will be here soon, the author has something really good going here!

I have sat staring at my phone for ten minutes after the ending because I’m so fucking confused??
Maybe I’m just a dumb bitch but like what the fuck was that?
I loved this so much but that last five percent had my brain turning off

I really like this series so far. It’s just the perfect amount of all the things I love. The smut, the action, they mystery, and all the feels. Looking forward to the next book!

I really enjoy the setting of this book. The naughty scenes are written really lovely.
But I had a bit of struggle following the story itself. At some points I had to re-read a page because I thought I missed something. But there was just a jump in the story and not an obvious indicator that it happened. (Took me 2 more books to realize that theres sometimes a bigger line break.. Id appreacite some "***" or something)
And while the idea of the ending is cute, I honestly thought my ebook was broken and the first chapter was repeated. I get the idea the author went for but it was.. too similar? It felt really copy pasted.
And I need more story. The world building has so much potential. The naughty bits are awesome but this could be so much more than that.
