Claire Cullen

An m/m omegaverse novel with found family, chosen mates and mpreg.

The Lone Pack series follows on from the author's Lost Pack series. There is some character crossover but is sufficiently standalone for it not to matter.

Hawk is on a break from the military while he goes through his inheritance from his beloved grandpa and gets the house ready to sell. His plans are derailed though when he finds two brothers hiding out and starts to hope for something more than a solitary military life.

This was alright. There's nothing unique or distinct about the characters or the plot, it's your typical run of the mill hurt comfort omegaverse romance story. I didn't really like either character but it was an easy enough read. Hawk was a mess and his constant self-recriminations got old fast. Plus there was a bit too much miscommunication and doubt about Jesse possibly lying about being with someone else. He'd given Hawk no reason to think he was untrustworthy and it irritated me on his behalf. As far as the mpreg plot - five babies? Really? A bit too fanfiction for my tastes.

The crossover with the Lost Pack series characters dragged on but would be ideal for fans of those books. As far as the world building, it was pretty thin and the military elements weren't really explained well but it worked well enough otherwise. 2.5 stars, rounded to 2 stars.… (altro)

This came recommended to me, so I gave it a try even though I don't really like the omegaverse theme. I liked the book up to the point Jonah and Nate finally got together(around 60%, I think), after that it was as if I was reading a different book. Everything felt kind of rushed & superficial from that point on - things that I wanted explained were brushed over, the whole thing with the pregnancy felt... off. Maybe it's because it wasn't really heavy on omegaverse up to that point... In fact, I felt like I wasn't really reading an omegaverse book at all, and it kind of caught me by surprise. Even though I was fully aware what I was going into 🤦‍♀️ Anyhow, I really enjoyed the first half, the second half not so much. Glad I gave it a try, but I don't think the series/theme is for me.… (altro)

This will be a short review because this is a short book but I thought this was actually really sweet! I liked the way that Sebastian treated Robert. I liked that it was always clear that Robert would have choices as to whether to do something or not and could have the freedom to learn and grow and not just be an omega or a mate.

This book was definitely an interesting and more in-depth look at some elements of omega biology compared to what I’ve read before. I thought the choices made set this story apart a little bit. The conflict and plot in this book was also great. The author really crams a lot in considering this book is only just over 100 pages but it never felt rushed.

I would be interested in reading other books by this author or other books in this series. Hopefully I would like them as much as this one.… (altro)
