How long can I hold onto my secrets before I break?
My entire life has revolved around taking care of others. Between a sick mom and keeping my best friend safe, I’ve lost myself. Or maybe I just never bothered to find myself.
The only thing keeping me sane is my job at the strip club. Dancing is my escape and doing it as a career has given me more confidence than I ever thought possible.
The issue?
The job comes with more than just benefits. Four alphas have now decided that I’m theirs and refuse to let me run away.
And for once in my life, I don’t want to either.
When new secrets are revealed, I feel like my entire world is ready to crumble around me. But can I choose between a pack that makes me happy and someone’s life?
This is a why choose poly contemporary omegaverse series of standalones. The characters are all adults and there will be mentions of alcohol, drug use, and some violence. Some of the books in this series will contain MM.
3.8 stars. I liked it. It was hot and sweet. But it was also missing big chunks that I find necessary for a truly rewarding story. The relationships had basically zero development in any direction. Especially King and River’s relationship. We got hints at it, but nothing actually happened yet.
The subplot was super easy to figure out, which wasn’t a problem for me. But then the resolution was basically just, ‘Oh. That sucks.’ And then move on. So that was the least satisfying thing ever.
We don’t get to know any of the characters very well and it really affected my ability to connect with them. As in, I didn’t. Like, at all.
🤷🏻♀️ I’m gonna continue to read the series as it comes out, but my expectations are now shot.
This was a really good sequel to the first book. I loved it all. However I did get a feeling of everything being a tad pushed along at a quick rate. The story was told. The plot points told. But the story sprinted along and some details were told vs us seeing them happen on page. We went from being told she was crushing on the men to yep that’s her pack. Also the drama was built up and then it sorta fizzed out a bit at the end there. That part might be a bit of my own personal disappointment that there was no retribution just a “ah that is what is going “ kinda thing.
However none of my disappointments will stop me from recommending this book. I’m invested in this group of omegas and I want to see their happily ever after.
Read as an ARC for a review and… Wow!!!! What a great book to continue the series. And they were right to say drama cuz there’s so much of it! Sienna has been struggling and no one knows it. With her mom sick and sister taking care of her she’s scrimping and saving and stressing just to send her family money for bills. With the side effects from being given Rapture during her abduction in the first book it’s a good thing she’s cobbling together interested people from work and King, who helped her through her last heat. There’s a lot of great character growth in this book, by more than just Sienna. Loved it all!! Can’t wait for Eliza’s story
Seriously LOVE these standalones!!! I would say so much more, but the best advice would be to HURRY, RUN & go pick this book up because you won't regret it!!
The Omega Besties are back with the second book, Dancing and Drama. This book focuses on Sienna as she deals with life issues while finding her pack.
Sienna is sweet. She has dual personalities, normally she is kinda soft spoken, but when she lets herself go or is comfortable with people, she has a bolder personality. Si is very independent, wanting to do everything herself, which in turn puts a lot of pressure on herself and amps up her anxiety. When the people she loves need her, she gives everything, and I love that, but she really needed to learn when to accept help. She frustrated me at times with incapablity to accept help. her need to take care of everything almost cost her.
Somehow, Sienna mange to bag herself a buch of alphas, four cinnamon rolls to be exact. Yuri is a little stiff, all professional, but that's understandable when he has the provider type of personality. River is the fun one, they bring a lightheartedness that is sometimed needed. King is the emotional caretaker, he's patient, understanding, and a good listener. Finally, there is Nash, the sweet alpha is a little broody but has a gentle heart. He's a protector. These four are connected in surprising ways but they manage to come together to be there for Sienna. They make for a great pack.
This series may focus on a different girl in each book but there is a overall story arc with events in the previous book caring over. That also means that Hazel and her guys are in this book as well as all the other characters readers gotten to know in the previous book and it makes my heart happy. They are a family now and they act like it and it's great. The best part of this book was all the highjinks Sienna and the gang get up to. There were so many memorable and laughable moments, most of them being instigated by Valentina. I swear, that Omega lives full tilt, and some of the things she gets up to bring the hugest smile to my face. Everyone wishes they were that they are as cool as Valentina.
The plot was a little surprising, Sienna comes from a good family, her mom and dad love her however the relationship between Si and her twin sister Sam isn't the best. I can't blame her, I didn't like Sam from the start. The plot was mostly about the secrets Sienna was keeping, nothing major but still caused some issues. The rest was the guys courting Sienna. From dates at an all-night diner to popular clubs and a lot more. Sienna's guys blend in well with this crazy group. The more the merry. Things are getting wild.
As promised, Dancing and Drama came through with plenty of dancing (professionally and for fun) and loads of family drama. Sienna's found family has gotten a whole lot bigger and is steadily growing now that Sienna has found her pack. The epilogue was great, Sienna and her guys are happy, but things are far from over with the besties. Looks like it's Eliza's turn to find her HEA. Her story is up next.
This is the second book in the Besties series and it builds on from book 1 with familiar characters but a different girl in the 4 besties and her story. This is Sienna's story...she is a strong and independent character. She is working her butt off to send money to her sister to help pay for her Mother's medical bills. She goes into heat and is not able to take the suppressors due to what happened to her in the first story. She rents an alpha to help her get through her heat and he is the incredibly hot and attentive King (real name, not short for anything). They don't get to smell each other so that no attachments are formed. She works as a dancer in a strip club owned by River and Yuri.
On her day off (a bit after her heat) she goes to the MC with her friends and ends up seeing King again and then Yuri, River and Nash show up and they and her know that they are her pack, all 4 Alphas. They are totally devoted to her and helping her through all the drama that is going on in her life (that they know about) and the rest when they find out about what she has kept from them and her besties.
Of course hijinks ensue because once again we get Valentina and she just brings the fun! There is tons of drama.
And that brings me to my 4star rating as I could see what coming and I already hated the character, so I found myself skimming some of the book. I am so glad that they got a happy every after and can't wait for the next story! (If you don't like binary characters or MM you might want to skip the book).
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
So glad to be back to omega besties! This group has been such a blast getting to know and although each has an individual storyline, all of the characters play a huge part in each book. They're a family and it is so easy to see how they rely on each other. I've been enjoying seeing each girl get their own pack and the struggles they all have to go through to get their happily ever after.
Sienna's story has been my favorite so far, although that could possibly change as more books are released. I loved seeing how she slowly grew bolder and more confident in herself as the book progressed, learning and accepting love in new places. Her and her alphas were so great together and the differences between each character made it so I didn't get easily confused since this was a standalone and stories usually go at a faster pace with these types of books. I also enjoyed the inclusion of River, the nonbinary alpha. Suki has included a nonbinary character like this in the past and I enjoyed them then as well.
The storyline for Sienna's story was a fun one to follow. I've always loved fmcs that start out innocent and not knowing much and then get introduced to new things with their harem. It's always interesting to see how they take learning and how each new experience is approached. Top it off with Sienna's run in with Rapture and I wasn't sure what was going to happen with her character and how things we approached, but I think Suki and Jarica did well with her story and how the drug affected her. The reactions, both physical and emotional, hit hard at times.
Can't wait to see what else becomes of this group of friends in the next book!
While I did love the story from these two arthurs I felt like it was missing some thing's. I would loved to had seen more of King and River's relationship develop, because the sexual tension these 2 exuded anytime they were around each other was hot and not to mention like to have had group times, but it's not always about the sexy times as Sienna who's an Omega and has a independence streak a mile wide that she has to learn to compromise with her pack of 4 guy's King, River, Nash and Yuri when it all started over her going into heat, Rent an Alpha and meets King.
Sienna has been working herself to death to help cover her moms medical expenses for that her sister says insurance won't cover, so she's constantly having to send money, so she needs to make more money quick and decides to apply at Neon Nights that's a strip club she's always loved dancing, so why not. That's where she meets Yuri, River and Nash.
She's out with her friend's for girl's night at Neon Nights when she runs into King then Yuri, Nash and River and if you've read omegaverse stories it's all about their scent and when they got a whif of her and she them it was over, but thing's aren't always that simple as they're about to find out.
I do love that we get to see the other best friend's Hazel, Eliza and Teagan and can't leave out Valentina, because these girl's are a riot add in their packs and you have family.
Dancing and Drama is book 2 of the Omega Besties series by both of these amazing authors. Sienna is one hot fiery omega who has so much on her plate but still manages to push through. She has a big beautiful heart but comes with secrets that haunt her and have a strong hold on her. But when 4 delicious alphas find their mate, they can't let go!! It is something completely new for Sienna and because of everything she has endured and still faces, it isn't easy for her to fall and be whisked away by her alphas. Her besties though....ride or die omegas that is for sure!! Not saying the alphas aren't but these girls are like sisters and have such a tight bond that it makes me jealous and wish I had something like that. Valentina is still my favorite! That omega is one bad a$$ babe and she really is on another level. This book was a total 5 stars, spice I am going with 3.5 and dark, I am going with 1.5 stars. It's really not that dark but this series is still amazing! I really enjoyed this book and hope you enjoy it just as much as I did. Can't wait for the next besties story!🖤 Happy Reading! 😈 🖤Madame Book Whore 🖤
Sienna is just trying to keep her head above water, especially with a sister demanding money. Along with the adverse side effects of Rapture, Sienna is struggling.
Luckily for Sienna, not only does she have her besties, she also has four alphas that want nothing more than to protect, take care of, and shower this omega with love. All they need to do is get her onboard.
I loved reading about Sienna and her men. Yuri is the the caretaker, making sure Sienna is taken care of. River is fun, flirty, and brings a lightheartedness to the pack. Nash is the protector. And King is the perfect emotional caretaker. They are perfect for Sienna.
You’ll get hilarious bestie antics, some drama, and a whole lot of spice in this book. I’m so obsessed with this series. Stoners & Secrets sucked me in but Dancing & Drama is keeping me hooked. These omega besties and their men are the absolute best. I can’t wait for the next book!
Dancing & Drama: Omega Besties Book 2 by Jarica James and Suki Williams is thrilling and spicy omegaverse.
My entire life has revolved around taking care of others. Between a sick mom and keeping my best friend safe, I’ve lost myself. Or maybe I just never bothered to find myself.
The only thing keeping me sane is my job at the strip club. Dancing is my escape and doing it as a career has given me more confidence than I ever thought possible.
The issue?
The job comes with more than just benefits. Four alphas have now decided that I’m theirs and refuse to let me run away.
And for once in my life, I don’t want to either.
This story is hot! It is fast paced and is kicked off with a bang. Hiring an alpha to help her with her heat is just the beginning of how things start to change. When her besties spend a night out she runs into the alpha and some men from work. By the end of the night she realizes she wants all of these men. With 4 super hot alphas what else does a girl need , besides space? Sienna is very independent and it's so funny to see how the alphas navigate dealing with her independence. This is a wonderful example of a relationship where there is give and take. Learning to share and compromise is key to making things work. It is so sweet to see how the guys show her they care but allow her to keep true to herself. I rated Dancing & Drama 5 out of 5 stars. It's an amazing story of making relationships work, growing up and apart from friends,and how harmful secrets can be. If you love reading about sweet omegaverse romances and hot alphas knotting a feisty female this spicy tale will have begging for more.
🪩 - Important Notes: I was given an ARC from PEACHYKEENAS. Regardless of that information, my review will be 100% honest. Additionally, there's also not spoilers in this review and everything is just basic info.
🍃 - Review: If you are looking for a good omegaverse book then I definitely recommend this one! This book contains four alpha's and one omega.
This is book two of the Omega Besties series. This one follows Sienna which is Hazel's friend from book one.
This book really made me happy and then angry towards the end (not due to relationship reasons) then made me happy all over again.
Sienna, Yuri, Nash, River and King were everything. Their relationship was precious and they fit perfectly together.
As the second book in the series, Dancing and Drama keeps us on our toes with this group of omegas. This one followed Sienna, who is keeping secrets from her best friends even though they promised to no longer keep secrets after the events of book 1.
There is plenty of dancing and drama in this story as Si finds four alphas who all want her and work to from a pack. As her pack forms, her secrets are reveled to her friends and the pack. The girls are as funny and close as they were in the first book, but now they are all finding their packs and becoming their own people. They alphas are swoon worthy and I love the different personalities they each have.
This book does a wonderful job giving us new characters but incorporating all the other characters that we met and fell in love with in book 1. I am exciting to see what we are thrown into when the next book comes out.
One of my favorite things in this series is the characters and the found family. The omegas have this very tight relationship when we first meet them and instead of just going off and finding a pack they just keep bringing in their packs so this found family just keeps getting bigger and bigger. This book also had one of my new all-time favorite characters, River! River's one of Sienna's alphas and their nonbinary. Honestly, I loved how River pulled Sienna out of her shell and helped her build some confidence because that's something that she struggled hard with. My biggest issue with this one other than the funky omegaverse system was the sister. I feel like there were no real repercussions for her and she just disappeared. I really wish we had more closure since she's the villian of this book.
Dancing and Drama is book two of the Omega Besties series of interconnected standalones. I loved this book! It sucked me and I couldn’t put it down! Sienna is starting over with her bestie’s in a new town. She is just trying to make ends meet while also sending every dollar she can to her sister to help with her mother’s rising medical costs. She is strong and independent and it is hard for her to give up any of it when her four guys try to help her. I love all of the guys and how sweet they are…a bunch of marshmallows for Sienna! We get a little bit of suspense and angst, found family, a circle of friends and lots of spice! I’m loving this series and can’t wait for more of it!
Sienna is another omega in the bestie group and I'm glad we got her story! She finally has found a job that she loves, but wants to keep it to herself since that is basically the only thing she has in her life that is truly just for her. She is such a selfless, independent and loving person and is constantly taking care of others. She meets her alphas who all just want to take care of her, which is a hard time for Sienna since she is used to taking care of herself. Each of her alphas all give her something she needs in a relationship and they are just so perfect for each other. There is a lot of character growth within this book and it was amazing to watch Sienna and her guys grow to trust each other and their relationship grow.
We first meet Sienna in ‘Secrets and Stoners’ as one of the best friends you could always count on.. but under that she was full of secrets. Secrets that were only harming herself.
Sienna finds herself an all Alpha pack - Yuri, River, Nash, and King! Each one brings something a little different to the group and it works! Watching all of them figure things out together was really amusing.
I really enjoyed this book, it made me so happy! I really love, love, and we see a lot of that but it was missing a few things to make it whole. Relationship building. A better solution for the subplot.
I loved how the bestie dynamic was still at the forefront of the story and I can’t wait to see whose HEA is up next in the Omega Besties series!
I loved everything about Sienna as an FMC, and the way this pack came together was like a warm hug. There’s just something special about this group of men and friends that join forces to rally behind Sienna, knowing she’s struggling even if they don’t know all the details. She has so much going on and she’s trying to stand up under the pressure of so much while dealing with some interesting medical complications at the same time. The pack is made of such big personalities, but they’re all caretakers, and they are such cinnamon rolls for her even if it’s not their normal. This one definitely made a big impression. I can’t wait for more besties!
This is the second installment in the Omega Besties series. This one is Sienna’s story and it’s a doozy to tell. She’s barely making ends meet, doing what she loves doing, dancing. But she’s doing the best she can, sending whatever she has to help her sick mother. And it’s coming at a cost, luckily, she has the help of her besties and also these 4 super hot Alphas. Her besties are there to provide her the friendship and support, all the while learning how to lean on her new Alphas. And that’s decidedly tough when she’s had to learn how to be fiercely independent. But hold on, there’s more! I can’t wait for the next story!
Dancing and Drama by Jarica James and Suki Williams is the second book in The Omega Besties Series. We met Sienna in book one but didn't really know anything about her. Sienna and her group of Omega besties have moved to this new place and she is looking for a job. She needs all the money she can get so she can help pay her mothers medical bills. Sienna is a strong, independent FMC that when her four guys try to help her out - she has a hard time. Love all these Omega bestie stories. I love a strong woman helping, supporting other strong women. Love it. Looking forward to more in this world.
Our omega has been through some stuff, and it makes her weary to trust the alpha's after her heart. I will say it has been a while since I've read an omega book that has such a strong bond between book heroines. The girls are usually fighting/don't get to talk but these ladies are ride or die, there is no separating them.
I think this gives the H a sense of clarity as she has that outlet whereas in other books its like they are constantly going in circles.
The alpha's are all pretty distinct and you can tell right off the bat that there is no persuading them against claiming whats theirs. The spice is easily a 4 and yet I was pleasantly happy and didn't feel like there was more needed.
I am anxious to see which lady gets their own book next! Fingers crossed for more guest appearances from these guys!
This is the second book but it is about a different omega. This is about Sienna and how she finds her forever pack of 4 amazing guys. The guys realize something is up and first they need to change rules in the club Sienna works at as relationships aren't allowed. That is out of the way but things aren't quite as easy with the baggage Sienna has but she is trying and allowing the courting. I love the attention the guys give her and how they communicate with eachother to keep things out in the open. Fantastic job!
This is book two in the Omega Besties series. It can be read as a standalone, but I do recommend reading the first book before. This is an Omegaverse why-chose story. This book has drama, angst, romance and dancing. The FMC was introduced in book one and this story surrounds her. The FMC has been keeping secrets from her besties and it later gets revealed all while she finds her pack. This book is truly Amazing and I can't wait to read more in the future from Jarica and Suki. I loved this story so much.
in this second book your mfc is Sienna who is a strong very independent character who busts her butt daily just to earn money to send to her sister for her sickly mothers long medical bills. she rents her alpha (King)when see comes into heat. but later he ends up part of her pact . along with yuri and river who own the club that she dances for.. when nash yuri river meet up king happens to be there and one whiff of each other is all it takes to know they are her alphas. i really enjoyed her connection with river the most though. i cant wait to see who is next and what is to come
This was a great read, the family they built with their friends just gets better and better each book. I really thought we were gonna get Eliza’s book first but this story was a surprise. I wish we got to see a wedding, or retributions for her awful sister, cause eff her. I needed to see her get her karma. On the last page it says read Eliza’s story here but there is no link and no further info as the next page is about something else instead. Super frustrating.
The first book had an amazing crossing swords scene. This did not. It was teased and it felt like a slow burn, but nada. The plot was good, and I saw the twist coming but it was okay. However, this book had less intimate scenes than the first book did. I like the omegaverse that is being built here but I’m not sure I have the desire to continue if the scenes are going to continue to lessen. There was a paragraph near the end that could have made for several impressive pages, but instead we got a single paragraph. Disappointed for sure! 3 stars because the plot was good.
I loved the second book in this series about a group of female Omega Besties that find their Packs. I loved everything about Sienna and her Alphas they were perfect for each other. All the Alphas are so swoon-worthy, and i loved them all. I loved the friendships between the girls, and i can't wait for more in this series. If you love a sweet read with a ready-made family feel, then you will devour this book and series. Amazing five-star read once again that i would definitely recommend.
Dancing and Drama by Jarica James and Suki Williams is the second book in The Omega Besties Series. We met Sienna in book one but didn't really know anything about her. She needs all the money she can get so she can help pay her mother's medical bills. Sienna is a strong, independent FMC and when her four guys try to help her out she has a hard time. They have their ups and downs, of course, but end with an enjoyable HEA. Happy to read more in this series!
Sweet little Omegaverse read. Sienna is our sassy and independent omega. She works as an exotic dancer to help financially support her sick mother. Enter her bosses, Yuri and River, cousins that own the club she dances at. The bouncer Nash. Oh! And the Alpha she rented to see her through her last heat, King. This was definitely a quick enjoyable read. I’m quite fond of River. They’re adorable. Almost like an Alpha and an Omega all rolled into one. 💜
Oh, boy, was I surprised with the way this book started—in the best possible way. Sienna’s been keeping some secrets from her besties—including what her new job is. And there are definitely some hot men there, who all want Sienna as their own. The first standalone in this series came with a ready-made pack, but Sienna’s isn’t. I really loved watching as it developed, as well as their relationship with Sienna. I highly recommend giving this one a read.
