Alpha: a Dark Omegaverse Romance

What an intriguing omegaverse. The obvious chemistry between the MC’s has the temperature rising right off the bat. That’s right, this here book is a fast burn and wowza, is it H-O-T! That being said, I must warn that at times, things do tend to lean towards the darker side of romance and there are a couple of scenes that some may find a bit sensitive/disturbing simply because of what is implied. However, I found that it was well written as the author never took things too far and all in all, the story was beautiful in its brutality. The MC’s were both interesting and strong. Peter Leod (the hero) can only be described as “swoon worthy” because if a man had to treat me the way this alpha acts towards Leigh (heroine) … you can bet your last dollar that I’ll be swooning -- for more reasons than one. There’s never a dull moment throughout this book and I could not help but finish it way sooner than I would have liked. The only thing that could have (maybe) improved this book is if it was written from a dual POV because it is written solely from Leigh’s POV. **Adding here that the author does give us readers a bit of a taste of what Peter is thinking by offering a bonus at the end of the book.** There is no “cheating” and/or cliffhanger as it ends with a HEA for the MCs. I would recommend this book to those who enjoy slightly darker reads as well as a book that definitely packs a punch when regarding the steam level. I was fortunate to be able to receive and ARC copy of this book and this is my straight-up, honest review.

Second time reading the Alpha series and it remains as good as the first time I did. Peter and Leigh are perfect together and definitely bring on the heat in this raunchy novel. I however feel like Leigh’s character was too simple with her reasoning at times (something very obvious would happen but it would take her sometime to figure it out). Something I liked with this book is that as hot as the sexy scenes were, it wasn’t overdone; the plot kept giving and it was just the perfect balance. Always a pleasure to read Nora Ash’s work and I am looking forward to see what her next book release will bring! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I read this series when it was three separate short books (Taken, Masked, Mated). I liked them then, but now I love that they are all in one book. The story is overall the same. It has the same dark and dirty antihero of an Alpha that almost makes you want to leave your doors unlocked for; there is the same feisty, spitfire of a "I didn't know I was an omega but I'm not going to let you boss me around, but OMG I'm having too a hard time trying not to concentrate on the manmeat that your packin'" little omega. The have been some delightful tweeks that allow the deliciously dark and at times raunchy story flow smoother. This story takes everything that I love about the Omegaverse and that dark place inside myself, the one that likes what takes place in a dominant world like the Omegaverse, and blends them. When I read this story, I always imagine that it starts off at its surface a bright thing, but at its edges you can feel the real grittier, smokier, and seedier world. Until the end w
