The Country Omega by Penelope Peters
4.0
I read an advanced copy of this book, and I simply devoured it.
This is set in the Omegaverse, a world in which people has a secondary gender; alpha, omega or beta. This secondary gender has a deep effect in what you are allowed or not allowed to do because omegas are generally seen as weak and in need of the protection of an alpha.
This story begins when omega Ethan Downing is travelling with his father to meet his future mate, alpha Antonio Valdez, but he's not doing this for the usual reasons: he has been accepted into a Music Conservatory, and to be able to assist, he needs to be bonded. Ethan only wish is to become a pianist, and travel the world offering his music, and this is the reason why he has finally accepted the need to bond.
But there are more in this that what we thought, and soon problems arise when their fathers can't arrive to an understanding regarding the contract. Ethan's hopes are about to be crushed, and to make matters worst, he and his intended really fall for each other at that first meeting.
Will they manage to overcome the obstacles their fathers find to their match? And which are the others reasons that force Ethan to get out of town, why the secrecy? Who really is Alan?
I don't want to spoil this story for you, so I keep the rest of the plot to myself, but I can't recommend this book more. It's a wonderful romance, with full constructed, lovely characters. Not only Ethan and Antonio but the secondary ones, too. You'll find yourself wanting to know more about them; in my case, I'm dying to know Ethan's parents story and how Dimitrov is mixed into it.
So, if you enjoy romance, this is, without a doubt, a book for you.
