A low angst omegaverse m/m romance with an age gap.

Travis Whitehall is quick to help when he finds a young man unconscious in the National Park near where he lives. With the roads closed and weather conditions crazy, he has no choice but to take him to his home. Unfortunately when he arrives he realises the young man is a young omega in heat.

Micah Lipsky is on the run from his father and the man his father has been trying to sell him to. His plan was to hole up in the woods and ride out his first heat but the pain is more intense than he expected and knocks him out. When he wakes up he finds himself in the home of a man who is kind, sweet and is willing to help.

This was alright. There was steamy, albeit cliche, sex, little emotional development or conversation and a slight plot. The drama regarding the father and his business partner started okay but took a turn for the extreme when Peter returns for Micah. It was either too over the top for a sweet romance or not enough for a decent plot.

For the rest of the story it's mainly them having sex and falling in love. I would've liked to see more conversation but unfortunately that didn't seem to be a priority. Neither character is really fleshed out enough to make them interesting and it made it hard to really care about either of them. I would've liked to hear more detail about either characters family - but Travis' in particular. It would've rounded out the narrative a bit more but it is what it is.

2 stars.

Emerson is terrified when he goes into his first heat and has nowhere to go. Staying on the streets isn't an option and returning to the shelter is out since the guards often sell omegas into forced prostitution. With no other ideas he winds up in Burke's pub - the scarred older alpha who has been allowing him to take out rubbish in exchange for food.

Burke takes one look at the vulnerable omega and feels the least he can do is let him stay until his heat is over.

This was a low angst omegaverse with a scarred alpha hero and a young vulnerable homeless omega with no where to go and no one to turn to when he has his first heat.

I wouldn't say I was expecting much of this - but I was expecting better than it was. The heavier topics of homelessness and prostitution were never really explored. There was some weird subplot with the cook, Mark that never really went anywhere and the feelings between them were shallow and limited to they have sex. The end. It started off okay and then never really developed any further, just 188 pages of sex. Bad sex. Really really bad sex. It was actually rather painful to read. The sex was repetitive and frankly, got pretty weird ands somewhat traumatic. I know there's lots of kink out there but whatever this was, wasn't for me.

The biggest problem regarding the plot was Burke never had any feelings of any type before Emerson turned up in heat. It was hard to believe any genuine feelings resulted from that. If he'd had a crush or something it might have made it less ridiculous but he doesn't. And mind you - neither does Emerson. They just have sex and decide they're meant to be. I can get behind fated mates but this wasn't really that either.

Overall, a relatively low angst omegaverse romance let down by ridiculous and over the top repetitive sex scenes and an unbelievable romantic connection. 1 star.

A low angst omegaverse m/m romance with sunshine/grumpy pairing.

The Perfect Match Agency just wants all omega's and alpha's to find their perfect match - and the agency can help by running a compatibility profile with pheromone analysis. Norman and Bentley are thrilled to find that they have a match - so what if they live two thousand miles away from each other?

This was a sugary sweet, low angst romance with lots of steamy, albeit cliche, sex and a bit of humour. There's no real plot the story mainly revolves around how they're falling in love with one another. Perfect if you're just looking for something mindless to relax with.

The humour was good and I liked the Bentley and Norman's friendships. The first date at the local pub with all the locals doing their best to act normal had me giggling. And I loved Norman's dog, Pretzel. Apparently Norman's best friend, Cary, decided that a German shepherd, needed a German name and upon losing a bet, Cary got to choose it. I particularly loved Bentley suggesting it could've been worse - he could've ended up with a dog called Sauerkraut or Bratwurst.

An easy, angst free read that was enjoyable and funny. 3 stars.
