ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 30, 2023

Omegas are to be protected; to be kept safe. They’re not meant to work!

The world thinks that Omegas are only good for taking a knot and for their inevitable heats. They’re meant to be locked away from the world, unseen. They’re told tales about Omega’s being abducted and sold, forced to live every horror one can imagine.

With the help of my father—the lead scientist for a pharmaceutical company—I’ve managed to hide my designation since I was a small child. This has allowed me to live in the world without the prejudice, restrictions put on omegas ‘to keep them safe’, and to keep me from being hunted.

But I don’t want to be safe. Despite the danger, all I’ve ever wanted was to play hockey.

Because of the experimental drug cocktail, I’ve made it five years in the NHL. My name is known amongst hockey fans. I’m on billboards and cereal boxes. I have my own athletic brand. Not because I’m a precious omega, but because I’m an amazing athlete. Everything is going perfectly.

Until the medication suddenly stops working during the middle of a string of away games and I’m plunged into the beginnings of a heat. When my roommate walks in and finds me in my precarious situation, there’s no way he can miss my perfume filling the room.

What’s worse? We’ve already been toying with the boundaries of our friendship, hesitant to make the move to something more. The attraction between us is impossible to miss, but I have a secret. I’ve been in love with him since I was drafted to the team. The only thing that’s kept me away is the threat of him discovering my designation.

Now he knows, we’re a thousand miles from home, and I’m about to go into heat. There’s no way my team will miss me for a week or more, right?

I’m not even sure it matters. My secret’s out. One of his would-be packmates is a very angry threat to my future. If I’m exposed, I can kiss my career goodbye.

This is a polyamorous story (though it will be HEAVY mm) with content not intended for those under 18 years of age due to graphic scenes and situations

REVIEW: Hockey Romance wasn’t usually my thing, but I’ve jumped on the wagon (or ice ?) and read a few recently, including this author’s work. So I was looking forward to an Omegaverse story with ice. What I got was really a MM story on ice (and throw in a pack in waiting!)

Don’t get me wrong it’s a great story, but when you don’t really include the characters that aren’t meant to be added until later, and just and concentrate on just two, I left a little disappointed. (But only as I know how this authors Omegaverse works, but that my opinion)

Romy is a great ice hockey player, but he hides a secret, Romy is an omega! So! I hear you say, but when an omega is ONLY suppose to stay home and be protected and cared for, Romy is courting not only Alpha’s anger (it’s in an alpha’s nature to protect an omega) but he endangers himself as omega (they have been kidnapped/sold and just used and abused by alphas!) but his father knew Romy wanted to be a hockey player from an early age, he created a “vitamin” that suppressed urges/heats/scents that come with being an omega.

Emeryk is an alpha who loves his job as a goalie for his team. Now I liked he was a goalie and not the star goal scorer (so many have them in that role) but saying that he’s at the top of his game, not many puck’s get past him. He has a pack eating for him to retire, but Emeryk won’t call them a pack as he doesn’t want to lose any of them, (he’s heard of so many packs falling apart when one or more pack members are away from the rest of the pack) he loves them all dearly and they give him different things.

So they will patiently wait for him to retire.

Emeryk and Romy have skated (no pun intended) around their attraction for one another for years. Playing on the same team and having a relationship isn’t banned, but it can get awkward if they break up or get transferred. And that’s the excuse Romy uses with Emeryk, but he knows that if he gets involved with him, Romy will be found out and kicked off the team, but worse it will put him as an omega and he will have to retire (and he wants to retire when he wants to and not when he’s told!)

But when his “vitamin” fails and Romy goes into an early heat (he usually hides away in the off season to keep his omega traits hidden) all hell breaks loose, and Emeryk is drawn into helping Romy get to a hideaway…..

A female Omega goes into heat and that’s when she can become pregnant, male omegas are rare and can’t become pregnant (well not in this Omegaverse!) but suffer intense physical drives to mate. But Romy no longer wants nameless alphas to “knot” him (alphas have an addition to an appendage that all omegas want ?) he wants HIS alpha….. And so a tricky and complicated web is woven to protect Romy. But with all secrets that eventually come out….

His pack-in-waiting have to be told (and one alpha isn’t happy!) his team and coach have to be told (not everyone is happy there either!) then the media get a hold of it….. and Romy’s worse fears come alive!!!! The pack -in-waiting include Jen (beta) an alpha restauranteur and a trio of free spirited alphas complete this story. And although we hear and interact with them, we don’t get their point of views!

This book pulls no punches with your emotions! I loved the texts at the beginning of each chapter, I have chuckled at the most inappropriate times (bus/train/work! ?) It tells a story of injustice, of people not being able to do their own thing. A story of people being victimised and vilified for wanting more that their lot in life. It’s never black and white, there are so many shades of grey in between.

What had me on the edge of my seat and reaching for the tissues was the reaction of one alpha in Emeryk’s pack. That had me in total shock (but it’s great to read, it shows that sometimes things don’t always go as you plan, and the one person you thought had your back was the biggest hypocrite going!!)

It’s a great read, it’s also got a few appearances from characters from other books (if you haven’t read those then your not really going to know, nor do you need to read them in order to read this book.)

Another highly recommend and interesting read from one of my favourite mm #whychoose #omegaverse authors.

Crea lives in upstate New York with her dog and husband. She has been writing since grade school, when her second grade teacher had her class keep writing journals. She has a habit of creating secondary, and often time tertiary, characters that take over her stories. All of her RH relationships end up being heavily polyamorous – meaning it’s not just all the men for one woman. There’s also some M/M action going on. When she can’t fall asleep at night, she thinks up new scenes for her characters to act out. This, of course, is how most of her meant-to-be-thrown-away characters tend to end up front and center – and utterly swoon-worthy! Don’t ask her how many book boyfriends she has…

When not writing, Crea is an avid reader. Her TBR pile is several hundred books high (don’t even look at her kindle wish list or the unread books on her tablet). Sometimes, she enjoys crafting; sometimes, exploring nature; sometimes, traveling. Mostly, she enjoys putting her characters on paper and breathing life into them. Oh, and sleeping. Crea loves to sleep!
