The Flame King's Captive
by Chloe Chastaine
4.5
I've been looking everywhere for a mf omegaverse romance, so when I found out Lilith Vincent was releasing one under Chloe Chastaine, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! I'm still relatively new to this particular subgenre, and if you haven't experienced it yet yourself, I think The Flame King's Captive is the perfect book to get your feet wet. The heroine, Isavelle, doesn't know anything about alphas, betas, or omegas, so readers have the opportunity to learn everything right alongside her.
In addition, the hero, Zabriel, isn't a complete caveman alpha. He's patient and respectful of Isavelle while she comes to terms with being an Omega, his mate, and all that entails, and he works hard to earn her trust instead of just expecting it outright. Don't get me wrong, he's still dominant, protective, possessive, and wants to put a baby in her asap, but he's gentle with Isavelle, because he knows it's what she needs.
While many stories featuring fated mates can be instalove and fast to heat up, Isavelle and Zabriel's romance is a slow build, but it's absolutely worth it. The sexual tension between them is always through the roof. Their slow burn allows their relationship to develop over time into something deeper than just a predisposition to want to fuck each other's brains out and think the sun shines out of their mate's ass because of their special connection. Because of Zabriel, Isavelle is treated with respect, love, and kindness for the first time in years, and she sees how Zabriel fights his own instincts and ignores his own wants and needs to do what makes her feel the most comfortable, safe, happy, and in control. Zabriel's love for and commitment to Isavelle, as well as his obsession and appreciation for her body never fails to melt her heart along with her panties, and it had a similiar affect on me, too.
The Flame King's Captive is everything I hoped it would be, a fantasy romance with fated mates, omegaverse designations and relationship dynamics, and all the praise and breeding kink that goes along with it. To top it all off, there's also motherfucking dragons! I'm a dragon lover in general, but having read Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros recently, I'm seriously in the mood for the fire-breathing beasts, so they were definitely a highlight of the book for me.
Overall, the author did an amazing job with Zabriel and Isavelle's story. The plot is intriguing and well paced. The characters and the dragons are incredible, and the romance is sweet and hot. I enjoyed the hell out of every minute of this book, and I can't wait for more! Fingers crossed the next installment comes soon, so I'm not in misery too long.
Fantasy romance and omegaverse romance fans, this one's for you!
