Underground Omega Syndicate #4
Breaking Bailey
They call themselves the Underground Omega Syndicate, and the dirt they have on me could ruin my life.
As an omega myself, I never thought I’d fall victim to an organization that claims to want omegas in power, but I’ve been kidnapped and given a new identity.
Now, I’m in the middle of North Harbor’s political scene with orders to take down a corrupt senator. Secrets and more money than I could ever dream of are thrown around like poker chips, and I’m just trying to find the right angle to finish this job.
The further we get into the campaign, the more enemies the senator accumulates. Death threats and warnings are getting harder to ignore, and when an attack hits a bit too close for comfort, a pack of bodyguards is assigned to keep me safe.
The problem? I’m not the only spy on this campaign. The others think I’m the key to taking the senator down, and they aren’t afraid to use me to get the answers they seek.
Little do they know, we share the same goal…
Breaking Bailey is a why choose omegaverse mfmmm romance. It includes gritty plot, spice, and an omega willing to risk it all to save herself.
This book does contain violence, torture, mentions of past assault, and kidnapping, please keep that in mind when reading.

Spoilers:
Why Choose (No MM) (Obviously)
Father and 3 sons (2 alphas & 2 betas)
This was really good but I lost interest around 60%. I forced myself to continue and I didn’t get rehooked. There wasn’t anything wrong, I think it might just be my own burnout.
I liked the ending. The continual mission towards ending the rings.
I found myself annoyed by the syndicate in this one. I just feel like they seem so capable and yet they drag other people into it. Like they provided the leads and they apparently have the sources to handle situations themselves but they send in omegas like sacrificial lambs yet claim they are doing it for omega justice. Sounds like bs to me. Idk. I liked the syndicate in the first book and it’s just gone down hill from there.
Spice was alright. Felt a little rushed or stilted at times. It wasn’t bad by any stretch but it seemed slightly awkward.
Bailey was cool. I couldn’t decide if she was what I’d consider a strong FMC but I’ll give it to her for her brain. She knows how to play a part. She is a bit of a chameleon. That’s cool.
Sterling was annoying at best. He got off way too easily. I’m just not convinced these men got to know HER outside of her biology or the situations she was put in.
All of that being said, I still don’t think this is a bad read. It really had me hooked for a bit.

"Breaking Bailey" is a standalone in the interconnected "Underground Omega Syndicate" series. I hadn't read any of the previous books yet, and it never felt like I was missing anything, so the book can definitely be read as a standalone.
Personally, I'm a reader who prefers series, but Bailey's story was the perfect standalone for me. It has a captivating storyline that grabbed me from the start, and the perfect mix between plot, suspense, relationship development, spice, ... The characterbuilding is perfectly done, giving readers just enough information to get a basic feel of all the characters and to understand their actions when they matter to the storyline. I never felt like one character was more important to the author than the others; they were balanced out perfectly, and all had their role to play in the storyline.
A lot happens in this book, and the storyline is fast-paced without ever feeling rushed. I really liked the build-up to the finale, and how it mixed with the relationship development between Bailey and her men. I'm a sucker for an age-gap, and I absolutely loved the fact that this harem consists of a silver fox and his sons!
I honestly have only good things to say about this book, so I can absolutely recommend it whether you love standalones or not!

Another great entry in this interconnected series! Bailey owns her power in this one. She is balancing her roles with the syndicate, the actual duties of her ‘job’ cover, and getting to know her new mates. She manages to make it look nearly effortless despite the fact that the bad guys keep coming for her. Honestly, I’m stunned because she shouldn’t be handling things so well, and I’m amazed by her persistence and resilience. Her guys are amazing, but she’s the rockstar here! Another amazing OV read and fantastic HEA!

Great Mafia / Omegaverse Read!
Life tried to break Bailey but our girl was not about to let that happen. I’m addition to trying to figure out what she needs to do for the Underground Omega Syndicate, I enjoyed her inner struggle between fighting the pull to her mates and allowing them to sweep her away. And don’t get me started on Cyrus and his mafia boys. Mafia and Omegaverse are two of my fave reads so I loved this book. I wish it had been longer. Definitely piqued my interest in the other novels in this shared world.
4/5 ⭐️

This is the first book I've read in this multiauthor omegaverse universe and it won't be my last.
I loved it , it was action-packed , steamy and full of twists.
Bailey is amazing and so are all her guys. My favourite is Cyrus though he is so yummy.
I am definitely going to go back and read the other books that have been released in this series and I can't wait for more.
Amazing five star read that I would highly recommend.

This is Bailey her story in the underground omega syndicate. Though you can totally read this as a stand alone I did read the others because I'm like that. The characters are great and well thought out, the story a fastpaced romance with lots of action which is done without it feeling rushed at any point. I am a fan of this author for sure. A nice surprise is that the harem contains a silver fox and his sons! Oh yes you read that right and I'm loving it and so hope more like this is to come.

Another wonderful book in the interconnected Underground Omega Syndicate series. I have always been a fan of bodyguard/client tropes and this one has completely delivered on all aspects. With multiple POV’s, suspense, an amazing plot, great relationship developments and the right amount of spice this makes for another one that Jarica James has hit out of the park. Thoroughly enjoyed and can’t wait for the next one in the series.

This book gets 2 stars from me for a couple of reasons. The pacing is all over the place, the plot is weird, it's a dad in the same pack / sharing an omega with his sons (that part felt unnecessary), there are plot holes that aren't addressed or addressed in too much detail. It reads like the author combined a bunch of different tropes that would have worked individually and lumped them all into one book - the book is tedious.

You know… I meant to read this series from the start but somehow it got buried in the mountain that is my TBR. But Jarica James puts out a book and I must read it. This was so good. I’ll definitely go back and read the others. Thankfully each book is a standalone within the series. I loved this one!!! Bailey (our omega) is a little bad*ss. Her men? Also bad*sses of the mafia type. There’s a few twisty turns here, don’t want to give too much away, but I licked Cyrus so he’s mine now. 💜

This book is a standalone in a shared universe. This is all about strong omega making the world a better place. This is about is about Bailey and her journey to take down a senator. When she meets her mates while under cover she needs to learn to trust them with her life and the mission on hand. This book was amazing.

April 24, 2023Typically I don't have a lot of hard no's or boundaries. I like to indulge in dark or taboo topics, but one of the ones featured in the book really wasn't for me personally... But I know many people really it, and that's totally cool. Just not for me.

Another winner
This series has been so good. I really enjoyed Bailey’s story. I hated the senator but I was glad she had her guys. This one was intense and it really picked up at the end. Every time I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief the bottom dropped out. I can’t wait to see where the series goes next.

I'm really enjoying this shared world so far but Breaking Bailey is easily a favorite. Bailey has had a bit of a rough life but she's determined to not let it take her whole life away. The push and pull between her and her new found mates was just perfect. The storyline is fast paced and easy to get into. Definitely worth the read!

it was good
I am not 100% sure how I feel about this story in this shared world. I liked the characters but the Syndicate is getting on my nerves. How are they going to sit back and watch all the bad crap happen to Bailey since they say they are always watching.
I also am not sure how I feel about sexy time with a father and his sons all participating.

This story was Amazing and I absolutely enjoyed it. This is a Great Mafia/Omegaverse story and will keep you diving deeper with each page turn. This is a standalone in an interconnected series. If you haven't read this story or any of Jarica's previous work, you are missing out!

June 28, 2024Tropes: omegaverse romance, why choose MFMMM, father and sons in the harem, age gap, bodyguards.
I wasn’t into this book, and I’m not sure if I just wasn’t in the right mood for it or if it was because I didn’t read the previous ones. I was confused at times so I felt like I missed some pieces out, but then again I forced myself to keep reading it, so maybe it was my fault and somewhere along the way I got distracted.
I started this book because I was intrigued by the idea of father and sons in the same harem, but I was expecting something different, maybe a little bit of angst about it or something, so again, maybe it’s on me, but I really didn’t like the way the author managed it.
It also felt like Cyrus, Hayes, Weston and Sterling weren’t parent and sons, does it make sense? The guys sometimes referred to Cyrus by his first name, and really, when they were all together doing the dirt with their omega, they didn’t seem faced in the slightest, which is weird, and they don’t even mention at least once how strange the situation is. They were like “Oh she’s my mate, who cares I’m having a foursome with my father/children”.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find it in me to finish it. I was able to go through the 75% of the book, but then I realized I wasn’t even curious to see how the story ended so it was time to just give it up.
I'm thinking about giving it another shot in the future, but we'll see.

Wow
Bailey went through a lot in this and like the rest of the syndicaye books I am still unsure gow I feel about them. But I do enjoy seeing the fmc and her men come out on top.

Good
Not a bad little read. Wished we had more POV from the men but that's my personal preference.
Not my favourite from this series but still enjoyable

I have read a couple of the books in this shared world and I think this one is my favorite. This has a very interesting plot line that I could not help but be invested in. Bailey is another member of the Underground Omega Syndicate and her task is infiltrate the Senator’s campaign, there’s a foul plot afoot and they need Bailey’s help and expertise in apprehending Senator Burke. He’s a sleaze-ball of the highest degree.
Bailey’s newly found mates are Sterling, Hayes, Weston and their dad Cyrus. They’re the bodyguards in the Senator’s campaign office. But there’s more to them than meets the eye. Super hot, super great storyline, really enjoyed this one a lot.
