Sweet Alps Mates #4
His Dangerous Omega
Jamie Sinclair
Meeting my fated mate in the middle of a top-secret assignment hadn’t been ideal. Nine years ago, he’d disappeared without a trace, and everyone assumed he was dead. Except me. I foolishly believed we would see each other again. I just didn’t expect him to turn up with a trail of dead bodies in his wake, or a child who could be my double. Despite the years that separated us, the anger, and the deceit, one thing remained – my love for him.
Sebastian Hollingsworth
My entire relationship with my fated mate was built on secrets. Nine years ago, I’d needed to disappear for my own safety. When my life was once again threatened, I’d run to the one man I knew would protect my son with his life. What I hadn’t expected was the burning anger I saw in his eyes when he looked at me. Or to realize that despite the secrets and our short time together, I had somehow fallen in love with him and had never stopped.
Was there a chance for us to build something real when everything between us had been lies?
*Trigger and Content Warning** On page deaths of a bunch of bad people, who you won’t care about and will probably cheer when they meet their maker. In all seriousness, this book does talk about the serious subject of human trafficking. While this all takes place off page and does not go into detail, the reader should be aware. There are also instances of children being in danger, but no harm is done to them. These topics are discussed briefly on homelessness, overdose, and school bullying .

“His Dangerous Omega” is the fourth book in the Sweet Alps Mates series. While it is not necessary to have read the previous books, some readers find it more enjoyable since a few favorite characters make appearances. This book contains fated mates, shifters, heats, knotting, mpreg, a whole lot of secrets and lies, a snarky kid and an HEA. Please note that no king cobras were harmed in the making of this book, I promise.

About the author
Raiven Matthews
14 books175 followersRaiven Matthews lives in the Mid-West, with her very spoiled cat, Declan. An avid reader from a young age, she discovered MM romance while reading fan fiction, and never looked back. Her days are fueled by lots of coffee and cuss words, and often plots her books on her commute to her RL job. She has always believed in happily-ever-after, but she was always the girl with follow-up questions. What happened when Cinderella put on that shoe and rode off to the castle? What came after Beast turned into a handsome prince? While she loves when her characters fall in love, she also believes in sprinkling in a big dose of reality, and real-life situations, (even if she is writing omegaverse mpreg) to get there.

First off, oh my god I was so surprised to see my username in the Author Note. Hi, author, if you're reading this, sorry I get very particular about timelines, they bother me if they are off and I get frustrated over that. So many tv shows love to do it too and it's frustrated me for years, that when I see it now I get a little bit grrr in my reviews haha. I just know if I ever write my own book (here's hoping, guys) that I'll keep a meticulous timeline or I'll be shaking my head at *myself*
It made me happy that their ages were corrected in this and I didn't have to feel taken out of the story in the least.
Secondly, I ADORED this fourth installment! It was SO good. It sucked me in and yes, I did stay up until 5AM reading this, what of it? 🤪
Jamie, the 'youngest' of the quadruplets finally gets his love story and becomes a little less of a mystery.
His love interest is Sebastian (although, that's not his real name, which we learn at the very end), who turns out to be an omega operative for MI6, or was, 9 years ago when he and Jamie met on a yacht during an assignment to try to take down a human omega trafficking ring.
Only, while Jamie - clearly - worked for the CIA, and Bash for MI6, they didn't know the other was an agent, and thought the other was a bad person that they just couldn't help but be drawn to because they were fated mates, which they knew the second they touched.
Things go tits up, as we learn, and while Bash was almost killed, he survived, but he months of recovery - while pregnant with their son, Matthew (or Matty as he is mostly called) - and with everything that happened, as well as him thinking Jamie (or Jonathan, as he knew him) was bad news, he stayed away.
When he - as a brilliant hacker - was able to find out who Jamie really was and that he wasn't the bad person he thought he was, when Matty was well over a year old, he still didn't try to find Jamie for several reasons, but the main one being that he didn't think he was good enough.
As we learn more about Bash, we learn that he had a drug addicted omega mother, never knew his father, and she overdosed when he was around 3 or 4 in an alley while he was there. And then he lived on the streets until he was about 16, with only a 'friend' of his moms who was also on the street to semi-look after him. But mostly, he was on his own from that young of an age.
He only got out of living on the streets because he was so good at hacking and that caught the governments notice.
But he spent the first 16 years of his life living on the streets, while Jamie was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. That insecurity is hard to let go of. And fear and self-loathing is a powerful thing that can take over the mind.
But when the son of the bad guy he and Jamie were after on that assignment 9 years ago spots Bash in Rome, Bash has to take him and his son to the states, to Sweet Alps where Jamie lives, as with all the research he's done on Jamie over the years, he knows he'd protect their son if anything ever happened to him.
But the son of the bad guy follows him, and things get dicey near the start. And things aren't sunshine and roses when Bash crashes back into Jamie's life.
I loved this so much. The first third of this book is fairly fast paced and high stakes - which is so interesting to do, instead of the book leading up to it, it starts off with the high stakes.
But then after the threat is finally taken care of, then the rest of the book has Bash and Jamie deal with the fact that Jamie never knew he had a son, that Bash kept him from Jamie, that danger was brought to their doorsteps, what Bash was doing those 9 years he was gone and Jame and Bash reconnecting in a more real way than ever before.
And of course, there's mpreg, with Bash eventually getting pregnant (and Wade...again lol) and Jamie getting to be there for it all this time.
And it's so interesting to get an older kid in this, as Matty is 8, soon to be 9, and he has a whole personality of his own and he's a child genius - literally - and he's very mature for his age, and he and Jamie form such a special bond. I LOVED when he went from calling Jamie by his name to calling him 'Dad.' Getting there was such a special moment.
So not only do we get Jamie and Bash's relationship, which is just SO good, with such good chemistry, but we get to see Jamie and Matty form their relationship as father and son. Matty also fits in so well with the rest of the family, with his younger cousins, and it's so cute to see.
I was hooked on this from page one and couldn't get enough. I think it's safe to say this is my favorite book of the series so far.
I loved the action packed beginning, but then the book taking its time for the rest to really form the connection between these two fated mates, and getting them to their HEA after the heartache they've been through.
I didn't take any stars off for this because it's not a big deal, but near the end, the quad's mom, Mary, just....randomly declares she's fated mates with Quinn's parents. That was....so random lol. It no big because it's the parents, but I was surprised, as this came out of nowhere and for me, there were absolutely no hints of it before they announce it.
Probably because for Jamie and all the other MC's, they never once got an inkling of it. Also, I'm a little confused about how the parents came to be, how they knew they were fated mates for years but didn't do anything? Or they did but one at a time before they realized all three were fated mates? Who knows. It was just so random and thrown in there and I was like *blink blink* okayyy.
But anyway, not a big deal so I'll move on from that.
This one, especially, is worth the read. I think it has the strong story so far and strongest romance. Not that I didn't love the other 3, I did, but this one just drew me in and kept me glued to the pages. I couldn't put it down, so that tells me something, when I want to do nothing else but read the book.
Now we're done with all the quadruplet brothers, and we're gonna get Gabe and Asher next, which I'm excited to read.
I hope we get to see all the brothers and their mates continuously, for however long this series - or spin-off series, however it works out - goes on for, and the big brood their family has. Like will Lach and Quinn ever have another kid or are the twins *it*? Will Brendan and Ryan as well, as they only have one kid. Also just seeing the kids they do have growing up, that'll be great to see.
Also, I suspect Becks, Jamie's friend, will get his own romance as well. He screams main character material who needs his own HEA haha. Possibly a love-hate thing with the Sheriff guy? Or someone totally new?🤔 Guess we'll see!
For now, can't wait for Gabe and Asher. Gabe is so sweet, it'll be great to see him get the love he deserves.
Two BIG thumbs up from me! 😍

2.5*** stars
dropped @60%
Damn, this is so sad, really. These books—their setup, premises and casts of characters—have so much potential but the author’s storytelling and writing style makes it all just so boring I started skipping entire chapters.
Despite my rating for this one being way lower than for book two, this wasn’t actually worse. This is just me expressing my disappointment, I guess. And for these books being unnecessarily long.

Sebastian and Jamie meet while deep undercover working on an omega trafficking op. Both work for different counties, unknown to which side the other is on. However, they learn that they're both fated mates and can't keep away from one another during those four weeks on that cruise ship. Things go array and cause them to be separated. For eight years, Jamie has wondered where his fated mate has been.
Sebastian, while pregnant, had to fight and protect himself after someone close to him betrayed him. While keeping tabs on his Alpha he has raised his son for the past eight years. However, his past catches up with him, causing him to leave Europe in order to be close to his mate so that his son can be safe if anything happens to him.
This is the fourth book in the Sweet Alps Mates series and can be read as a standalone. I did not read the previous books in the series but did not find myself lost at all. It had a bit of a slow start for me but once the story got going I enjoyed it.
Jamie and Sebastian have to get over years of hurt and betrayal but while their minds take time to catch up their hearts know that they're meant to be. Learning about why Sebastian did what he did honestly I totally get it. He put his son first even if it meant keeping him away from his Alpha father because he never truly knew him.
We get heat sex and pregnancy so that is a plus. Matthew was adorable, he's so smart for his age and caring. Seeing all the Alpha brothers and their omegas made me curious about their stories so I will be checking out the previous books in the series for sure.
Overall this was nice second chance romance! I enjoyed it and will be checking out the other books in the series (I'm especially curious about Wade and Finn)

i’m not going to lie, i hated pretty much every single character and their dumb ass decisions for like half of the book. but i still had a fun time.
i’m happy that i liked this, because the previous two books didn’t do much for me. but i’m glad i decided to still read this.
btw when sebastian said that it was jaimie’s “fault” they didn’t have a girl, i had a mental breakdown because i started thinking about aoverse genetics and a headache later i can admit that i simply don’t know enough.
and i do realize that nobody cares and it’s not that deep, this is just another example of why i shouldn’t think.

My least favorite of the series.
I didn't like that the omegas were angry at Sebastian for endangering their family.
There was actually a lot of anger all around. I still liked the family feel and the whole-everyone-gets-pregnant-story arc, but the anger..... I really could have done without that.

Romans drugiej szansy pomiędzy dwoma byłymi agentami rządowymi (czyli po ludzku szpiegami).
Ta część podobała mi się bardziej niż poprzednia. Uwielbiam Jamiego, Sebastian też mi się podobał. Okazał się bardzo normalnym i zrównoważonym facetem, utożsamiam się z nim. ;) I cudowne było, że niby omega, a potrafił skopać tyłek największej alfie - kochałam to.
Zachowanie Wade'a w tej części niesamowicie irytujące, ale mieściło się w charakterze, więc nie pozostało mi nic innego, jak przyjąć je do wiadomości.
Zapowiadaną piątą część serii raczej sobie daruję. Lubię postać Gabe'a, ale Little to nie moja bajka.

It's no secret I love the Sweet Alps Mates series. I mean, the 5 stars I've given each book pretty much speaks that itself. I didn't think anyone could compete with my love for Finn and Wade, but Bash and Jamie came pretty damn close. We do see a good amount of Wade in this book, but he's kinda sorta off the rails a bit for most of it. You'll understand when you read it. I promise.
Bash was such an interesting character. He's a total Brit, complete with the posh attitude and his love of a good cuppa. I also would say that Matthews wouldn't have been off base had she titled this book "His Fussy Omega Mate". On top of that, Bash is also a total freaking badass. I love how the omegas in this series are such strong men and Bash is one of the strongest. He's been through so much in his young life, yet he's survived it all. He's raised an amazing son all on his own for 8 years, while also knowing the time may come at any moment when that would have to change.
"My son deserved to be free and happy. He didn't deserve to be punished for both his fathers' sins."
That's what a parent does. They put their child first. It's also exactly what Jamie would have done had he known his son Matty existed. I didn't blame Jamie one bit for being downright bullshit Bash kept his son a secret all these years. And I also didn't blame him when he eventually made the adult decision to forgive. Bash is his fated mate. He loves him. They have a beautiful son together (whom I absolutely adored FYI). Nine years apart was already nine years too many in Jamie's eyes.
Beside the romance, there were also a few surprises thrown in including one that totally blew my mind. Sneaky authors and their sneaky twists. We also get a few mini flashbacks which I truly enjoyed because it helped put some of the puzzle pieces together of their shared past. Steam wise, all I'm going to say is I'll never look at a unicorn the same way again. Another thing that will make sense when you read it, which you can when it releases on May 26th!

Dreaming the most vivid dreams of his fated omega mate makes Jamie sad. It’s been eight years since he has last seen him. He disappeared. Both were on a secret job.
Nowadays Jamie a big Alpha wolf, is the owner of a Kink Club, making sure omega are safe and protected
When that omega stands bleeding at his doorstep with his son, Jamie is angry, furious, how could he, how could he disappear, got their son, and never looked for him? Here he was.
“I had let so much go lately, I should just change my name to Elsa.”
So much hurt, gosh, all so well written. The start of this story is dark and harsh, further on it’s all about Jamie, Sebastian, and their son, and…. Jamie’s awesome, big, loud, meddling family.
That was one solid, absolutely great read. The plot is significantly put together. There are harsh moments but also very emotional ones.
The characters are sublime, wonderfully developed, you can only love them.
I wished I discovered this series earlier, this is my first read of it, and seems to be the last of the series.

Such a good ending to the Sweet Alps series! I have been waiting for Jamie’s book for so long and it did not disappoint! Bash and Jamie are made for each other and sweet little Matty is the perfect thing to bring them back together!

You know this isn’t even that bad. The only thing that annoyed me the most is Wade? Like I’m probably missing something here (most likely from the previous books) but I don’t understand why he has such a big part in Jamie and Sebastian’s relationship. Why does Sebastian have to answer to his invasive questions that should be between him and his alpha? I can’t tell you how many times I rolled my eyes every time Wade acted like a brat and threw a fit. Just felt like there’s a third person in this relationship. Sebastian didn’t owe him any answers to such personal questions and I think his character was childish and immature. Long story short: hated Wade’s character but everything else was good.

His Dangerous Omega is the fourth book in the ‘Sweet Alps Mates’ series. It stars Jamie Sinclair, an Alpha wolf shifter, and Sebastian ‘Bash’ Hollingsworth, an omega honey badger shifter. This is told in first person from both Jamie and Bash’s povs.
Before I get started, I want to say, this is one heck of a long book. Almost four hundred pages. I normally read novellas and short stories, so this was like me reading two novellas back-to-back without a break. If you’re the kind of reader who likes long books, you’ll probably like this one. But if you prefer shorter reads like myself, prepare yourself, or read a shorter book alongside this one to give yourself a rest.
The blurb gives a somewhat accurate description of the plot. It leans more towards what happened to Jamie and Bash when they were on their mission. Briefly, Jamie and Bash were working undercover for their governments to bring down a trafficking ring, so they aren’t who they appear to be to each other. Each realizes the other is likely their mate, but things happen and they are torn apart. Jamie returns to his family who live in Sweet Alps, and Bash disappears, only to reappear suddenly with a son, Matthew, who looks like a clone of Jamie, and with killers on their trail. That’s how Jamie finds out Bash is alive and he has a son. To say he’s stunned, and angry, is an understatement. The author did an excellent job with Jamie’s emotions and how angry, yet conflicted, he was.
Because of the blurb, I thought the book would have more mystery and intrigue to it, especially with the trigger warnings. But it didn’t. It was covered briefly in the beginning chapters as flashbacks, which was handled well. I don’t normally like flashbacks in stories, but there was a lot of action and emotion in the flashbacks so they weren’t boring. The undercover history of both Jaime and Bash comes to a head when the action ends up at Jaime’s doorstep. From then on, it’s about Jaime trying to deal with his anger at Bash, his desire to be with Bash because Bash is his mate, and because Jaime wants to know his son. After that there’s sex, and then the pregnancy. The second half of the book is like a regular omegaverse mpreg, but with Bash adapting to having Jaime’s large family around all the time. Matthew figured more in the first half of the book, but after that he was sidelined as the plot shifted to Jaime and Bash’s romance. This ends up being like two books in one. The first half has a different feel to it compared to the second half.
One thing I thought was clever, was how well the author handled how Jaime could forgive Bash for pretending he was dead and keeping Matty away from Jaime, not even letting Jaime know he was alive and they had a son. The readers would identify with Jaime and his anger and hurt, so the author had one of the characters, Wade, who was Jaime’s BIL, stand in as the voice of the readers. Wade was angry and protective on Jaime’s behalf and asked all the questions that the readers would want to ask. ‘How could you do that to him? Why did you?’ etc. This gave readers a chance to understand Bash’s pov. I still didn’t agree with Bash, I think he was selfish and not purely for reasons to protect Matty, because Bash admits that Jaime could protect Matty also.
As I mention above, I never could care for Bash that much because of his behavior. Jaime always had that protector and caring aura about him even though he had the mask he wore when he worked for the government. As the story progressed, we get to see the Jaime that loves his family and works hard at resolving his issues with Bash because he wants his own family. Bash seemed to keep people at arm’s length. I don’t think it was so much his insecurity about his past more like he’s used to working alone, and I’m guessing his honey badger personality. Bash also made a lot of contradictory statements about his behavior to others and himself. I don’t know if that was intentional by the author, or mistakes that weren’t caught by the betas etc., since what I read was an ARC, but it was a bit annoying. I think that’s part of the reason I didn’t like Bash either. He wasn’t exactly truthful even when he said he was being truthful. Once Bash and Matty end up at Jaime’s house, the author pretty much dropped their shifter personalities. There was mention once and awhile of them shifting and running in the woods, or their shifter would speak to them a few times, but mostly the characters all functioned as humans. I found that disappointing. I personally would’ve liked more interaction with their shifter personalities. Also dropped were Bash and Jaime’s physical skills and knowledge as undercover agents. I wanted to read more action, but other than when Bash and Jaime met again there wasn’t anything, it all vanished into thin air, ‘poof’!
The author did a good job with the various personalities. Matty was a genius eight-year-old, and as I mentioned, showed up more during the first half of the book. The Sinclair family members and their mates and children, wandered in and out of the plot. I haven’t read the first three books in this series, but I didn’t have a problem with following along with who was who in this one.
This does have a lot of monologue, which I normally don’t like, but the author wrote it well enough through the character voices so that what they were thinking and doing wasn’t boring.
Overall, I liked His Dangerous Omega. It reads like two books in one with the first half having a different feel compared to the second half. It doesn’t have as much cloak and dagger as the blurb describes. This is more of an Alpha/omega romance with lots of family interaction. There are quite a few inconsistencies I spotted but am hoping are fixed before this book gets published. I give this story, 4 Stars.
I received an ARC from the author and am giving my honest and unbiased opinion.

If you’re into books packed with action and a solid development of romantic progression, this might not be the book for you. After 2 books, i do think this author might be a miss for me. I had high hopes since the premise of ex-secret agents coming together after years apart sounded so promising. However, the book only skims the surface of their thrilling past lives. Sure, we get some flashbacks, but they don’t dive deep enough, leaving a lot to be desired if you’re craving that action-packed story (The saddest part being the potential was THERE, I really enjoyed the flashback bits we could glimpse)
Anyway, the plot centers around the typical trope of an omega with a secret child seeking out the alpha father. They’ve been separated for eight years, and while the author does an adequate job at navigating this reunion, it feels pretty standard. There’s nothing particularly gripping about how they overcome their time apart. I did find the omega protagonist relatable, but that’s about it in terms of character connection.
By the halfway point, the story devolves into a lot of insta-lust (which, to be fair, wasn’t really enjoyable for me) and insta-love (which I’m not a fan of). The protagonists are already together by this time, so the suspense of ‘will-they-won’t-they’ is gone. What’s left is the rather mundane challenge of presenting their relationship to their family, which isn’t my cup of tea. Plus, there's this secondary character who is overly meddlesome and irritating, which didn’t help my overall enjoyment.
In terms of strengths, the writing moves the plot forward and doesn’t feel stagnant. The author knows how to keep things moving, even if the subplots aren’t particularly engaging for me. The writing itself is pretty standard, and while it could be called competent in terms of pacing, it lacks the tension and depth I was hoping for. For those who like a quick, surface-level romance, it might be a decent read. But if, like me, you crave deeper character development and more exciting plot twists, you might find yourself feeling a bit let down.

Overall this was fairly fun. It’s in general low angst with a bit of action at the beginning. I actually loved all the action with Sebastian swooping in to be badass and save the day! It got a little less interesting for me at the end but not too bad.
This book was kind of weird, kind of wild, fairly OTT, had a very fun premise, and left me kind of scratching my head. It has a lot of rigid gender roles for almost everyone almost all the time. Not the worst Ive seen but not great. This is one reason I sometimes avoid this genre. I’ll be honest, I lost a ton of interest when Jamie threaten to exercise his right as an alpha to take the kid away from Sebastian (an archaic but worldwide law) just because Jamie was mad and wanted to hurt Sebastian. The idea of being partnered with someone who would do that on a an angry whim isn’t pleasant. You can’t trust someone like that. It just wasn’t necessary to the story.
I haven’t read other books in this series, and likely I won’t based on what I saw of the other couples in this book.
Sebastian is a 35 year old white cis gay (as in likes men; unspecified if he also likes omegas as well as alphas) omega with dark hair and green/brown/gray eyes (don’t ask me to explain, that’s what the book said). He’s 5’ 9” and just shy of very thin (his ribs are prominent but he’s strong, I guess). He’s a retired special/secret agent of England (MI6). He writes children’s books now, and raises his alpha son Matthew, who is an 8 year old genius/prodigy. Sebastian is a serious badass in both human and honey badger forms! Mostly. He also hasn’t had sex in 9 years since Jamie. He’s had a very sad sex life, as no one has rimmed him or given him a blowjob ever. Jamie fixes that. Sebastian comes from a background of homelessness as a child.
Jamie is a 42 year old white cis bisexual (as in likes men and women; unspecified if he likes alphas as well as omegas) alpha. He’s a retired covert/special ops agent or something. He tells instantly for Sebastian 9 years ago when they were on the same op, and even in the present day is still desperately waiting to find him again. He could be read as somewhere on the ace spectrum, he states he rarely gets sexually interested in others, and Sebastian is one of them. He also has no interest in having sex with anyone else after Sebastian. This could also be attributed to having a fated mate. He now owns a kink club, go figure. He hasn’t been able to forget Sebastian. He comes from a very wealthy family.
Ok, I haven’t read the previous books but OMG, Finn had Jamie murder Wade’s parents?! And Wade was happy about it?! I sure hope they deserved it. From the vague wording in the book they took off when Wade was 16 and kind of ignored him before that.
Big fan of:
—Two spies/assassins who are both badass falling in love.
—On page birth scene at the end, medium detailed
—Sebastian wasn’t threatened with rape when he was naked (for shifting reasons) and fighting the bad guy.
—Sebastian was allowed to be pretty badass even though he’s an omega (usually authors don’t let omegas be badasses). I love this! I read a book that promised this once and then just didn’t deliver, and made the omega stay out of all the action even though he was the only one with military experience. Not fun.
—Unique shifters. I loved the honey badger!
—Both MCs were kind of bonkers and definitely killers. It’s nice when MCs match in their weirdness.
—Jamie deferred to Sebastian on whether he wanted a morning after pill or to become pregnant. Usually omegas have no bodily autonomy, which wigs me out.
—A minor side character had two moms (an omega and an alpha), which I never get to see! Loved it!
Not a big fan of:
—Strong “not like other girls” vibe about Sebastian to explain away why he can do anything while also being an omega
—Several simple typos like mixing up plural possessive and singular possessive (this one happens quite a lot), breaking dialogue paragraphs incorrectly, somewhat extensive repetition that should have been trimmed, wrong words used (such as perspective instead of respective, dissected instead of bisected which was still wrong for the sentence), wrong names being used (at one point Bash made a comment and then agreed with himself), etc.
—The writing overall feels a little wonky and unpolished, but not terrible at all
—I was so confused on what the heck Sebastian shifted into. He climbed people and had claws. It never mentioned he was a honey badger until like 20 pages later! I guess I could have guessed fro the silhouette art at the start of chapters?
—Too many adjectives. For example, every time Sebastian’s son did anything he ‘shrugged his bony shoulders,’ ‘hugged me with his thin arms,’ etc.
—The “Alpha Law.” “There was an archaic law still on the law books, that stated an alpha could legally remove his pup from the omega who had given birth to the child, without any reason given. The omega was powerless to stop it from happening.” Look, any jack*** who would do this purely because he’s had a bad day shouldn’t be a dad and partner. Jamie doing this because he was mad about made me quit the book. I thought Sebastian should have tried to strangle him again rather than just cry, that reaction was weird from him.
—The strong emphasis on Sebastian and Matty sounding/being English was overwhelming at times. Also, Matty was raised in Greece, why does he have a strong English accent?
—“Females” used instead of “women.”
—“Mate, my wolf screamed in my ear.”
“My soul had righted itself, and my honey badger had screamed mate.”
Lol, these sentences (especially the first one) were so weird and unexpected, it was almost like an SNL skit with animals that scream or something. But it was during sex scenes so that threw me off.
Tropes and content warnings:
—Human trafficking, human auctions
—Pedophilia child abuse/rape/slavery (mentioned) with human trafficking
—Brief description of a 6th grade boy assaulting a 1st grade girl (pinning to wall, grabbing chest, forced kiss), and the school where it happens plans to suspend the girl but not the boy
—Fated mates
—Shifters
—Sex without a condom and without discussing it prior
—Instalove and instalust
—Fated mates
—Size difference
—Oral fixation (Jamie)
—Many bridal-style carries
—Side poly romance (between married couple omega Maeve and alpha Allen, and omega Mary)
Other:
—First person dual POV
—No breakups (other than sort of in the past)
—No cheating or romantic rivals
—Kids: yes. They have Matty who’s 8 and another baby at the end.
—Sexual roles: versatile
—HEA implied

This was a really great ending to the series. I absolutely loved Sebastian and Matty, and getting to learn more about Jamie was awesome! I also really enjoyed getting to see Jamie’s families reactions to his mate and son, as well as them getting to learn more about what Jamie used to do. Getting to see Becks and hints of Gabe and Asher were also a treat.
The only reason it isn’t getting a 5star is because I didn’t like the direction Raiven took some secondary characters in this book but I think it’s just a me thing and it probably won’t even register for a lot of readers. I will definitely read this book again and just skip the part that I didn’t like.

Second Chances
I have been waiting for Jamie's story and it did not disappoint me. I was hooked from the start. I really enjoyed following along as he reunited with Sebastian and got to know Matty. This was a story worth reading.
I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

What I loved the most about reading this was how much the author’s writing style improved over the series.
The story held my attention throughout, with no unnecessary filler paragraphs.
I really enjoyed the story and found the two MC’s very interesting.
Definitely helped that the secret baby trope is one of my absolute favourites in mpreg…💙🥰💙

I won't lie; I've been waiting for this one and was not disappointed.
If Raiven's books are new to you, I strongly recommend you go back and start from the beginning.
In this story, we finally get to dive into Jamie's backstory and the one that got away. Sebastián and the addition of Matty were just lovely.
This story was emotional, action-packed, and sexy as sin, and with Wade having ample sass and page time, it might just have become my favorite of the series. (Please don't tell Wade).
As always, I was sucked into the world Raiven has crafted. I laughed, I cried, and I was cheering for the happy couple the whole time.
I'm so excited to see what Raiven does next. Read this book. Read them all. You won't be disappointed.

As always, I was sucked into the world Raiven has crafted. I laughed, I cried, and I was cheering for the happy couple the whole time.
I'm so excited to see what Raiven does next. Read this book. Read them all. You won't be disappointed.

… Was this Jamie and Sebastian‘s book or Wade’s?
Why did it seem like every important conversation or revelation was with Wade rather than between the actual couple? It distracted from any possible emotional element, the only thing this book made me feel well was irritation.
I liked the previous books but this one was just not for me.
The best part was Jaime and Marty’s relationship developing.
The random murder at the beginning, the weird lodge scene and Wade making Jamie and Sebastians’s relationship about him are all things I think this book would have been much better without.

This one was worth the wait! 🤩 The angst, the hurt. I loved it. Poor Jamie 😭

Okay, I have been waiting for this one! I did receive an advanced copy of this book, and this is my honest review. Oh, Jamie... he has always been my favorite--even before I really knew him. In the previous books about the Sinclair brothers, the readers were given glimpses of Jamie's character: his care for the patrons in his club, his sense of humor, his general protectiveness, and his overall commitment to his family. Finally, all of these tidbits came together in His Dangerous Omega.
In Jamie, Raiven Matthews created a complex character who gives all of himself to others while struggling with his own sense of self-worth. Readers get to experience the "real" Jamie as he struggles with questions about his life choices, his fated mate, being a father, and ultimately, forgiveness and personal growth. And although I just spent a whole bunch of words describing Jamie, please know that it is clear Raiven put as much time and care into developing Sebatian's character and all of the nuances surrounding his personal history, as she did with Jamie. Can we please take a moment to appreciate how truly bada** Sebastian is in both human form and as a honey badger? Seriously, Raiven outdid herself with this one!
In addition to building 2 complicated MCs, Raiven also delivered a well-crafted backstory as the basis for Jamie and Sebastian's relationship. I don't want to give too much away, but I do want to say that I completely understand Jamie's anger/resentment/confusion toward Sebastian when the two MCs finally come back together years later--and I really appreciate how Raiven wrote that scene.
This book was also unique (in my opinion) because the readers get to really experience all of the characters together in their "completed" form. The brothers, their spouses, Mrs. Sinclair (mom), and most of the surrounding characters that have appeared in previous books were all incorporated into His Dangerous Omega. So, to a degree, you get a lot of closure and a lot of hysterical commentary (fyi: I was crying with laughter during chapter 17).
If you like fated mates, shifters, complex emotions, found families, snarky commentary, and feel-good endings--this is definitely the book for you. Overall, I am thrilled to have read this book! It was deep and uplifting at the same time, and my fingers are crossed that this won't be the literary end of the Sinclair family. Obviously, I'm patiently waiting for Gabe's story--but it would be awesome to have future stories for some of the Sinclair children, as well (hint, hint, Raiven).

Ever since I read His Sassy Omega, I was very intrigued by Jamie's character. Jamie's character was shrouded in mystery from the get-go. He was the Sinclair brother I was the most excited to read about. And man... This book was well worth the wait!
Throughout this whole series I have been wondering what happened to Jaimie, how did he know he had a fated mate, but wasn't with him? There were so many unanswered questions, and in this book we finally got the answers we've been waiting for.
Sebastian has had to do what he could to protect his son Matty, even if that meant staying away from his fated mate. But when his and Matty's life is in danger he flees to Sweet Alps, the place he knows is where Jaimie and his family resides. He never expected for Jaimie to forgive him, much less want to build a relationship with him. However, before they could get to that point they had a lot to discuss...
I was beyond excited to read this story, and to find out that Jaimie has a son?! I was as shocked as he was! That was such a shocker, but it definitely fit the story. Nothing felt misplaced or unnecessary, and the action scenes were well written. I was quite surprised by them, they were very well written. As was the whole book, well written, good pace, and we got to see the fantastic characters we've met in past books. Along with getting introduced to new characters! I adored Matty, he was snarky but incredibly intelligent, and he loved sweets just like his dad. I adored Matty and Jamie's bonding moments, and when Jaimie asked for Matty's permission to date his dad? It was so sweet!
I wish there were more scenes of these characters being in their animal forms but that's very minor.
Wade and Sebastian's relationship was... Strained.. at least at first. It slowly escalated then grew, and it was very funny reading about their banter with each other.
I loved how Raiven had the other characters from past books be so prevalent through this story, I loved seeing them again! Matty, Sebastian, Finn, Wade, Ryan, Brenn, Lachlan, Quinn,Brendan, Gigi,Becks, Ronen And prepare yourself for all of the surprises that happens at their cabin!
Even though this has funny and light elements throughout the book, be prepared for the scenes that'll make you tear up! Cause I certainly did.
The artwork in the back of the book made me aww out loud, I absolutely adored that.
I highly recommend you to read this book, along with the others that are apart of this series.

I have been a big fan of this series, right from the start, and it's so good to finally have Jamie's story after reading him being on the outside of his brother's stories so far. There have always been hints about what he has done in his past, before returning to his home town and opening a kink club, but now we dive in and get to know what happened while he was away.
We start off by diving right into the action and meeting Sebastian, a blast from Jamie's past, as he works to keep himself and his son safe. This book is a bit different to the previous one as we have most of the action and drama come in the first quarter and then the MC's deal with the fallout and work towards possibly building something together. It's a hugely emotional ride for everyone involved; Jamie, Sebastian, and Matthew. Jamie, especially, with the way that things suddenly ended several years ago and dealing with the betrayal of secrets kept from him. Sebastian had best interests at heart but maybe looking back things could have been done differently. I really enjoyed reading along on the journey that they go through together, through pain, acceptance, learning, and love. Sebastian has to learn to be around such a big family having been alone for so long. Matthew is a lot of fun to read, for an eight-year-old he is crazy smart and isn't afraid to say what's on his mind, which can be quite entertaining in the moment.
It's so wonderful to read all of the Sinclair brothers getting their HEA's and when they are all together as a family. There are now a lot of them including mates and children, it can get a bit hectic but it's also a lot of fun and there are so many more people that offer support when needed. Wade really stood out this time in his steadfast defence of Jamie and it was equally funny and terrifying.
I'm really hoping that this isn't the end of the series as there are at least two or three side characters who are deserving of their own story. A highly recommended book and series, with fated mates, mpreg, hurt/comfort and a second chance at their HEA.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

ARC received from the author for an honest review.
Jaime Sinclair is the last of the Sinclair brothers without a mate. Well he has a mate but he doesn't know where he is or who he really is either. He meet him on a mission years ago and hasn't seen him since. He doesn't know where to look so he just goes on with his life day to day.
Sebastian Hollingsworth is an omega that was at one time a great asset to the right people. When he was betrayed on his last assignment by one of his own team, he went into hiding. Now that someone is after him he goes to only place he knows he'll be safe; the father of his son.
When Jaime meets Sebastian again he's obviously angry and says some hurtful things. Sebastian may only be an omega but he's a lot stronger than most alphas and he's not going to take Jaime's crap. He immediately gives Jaime an impressive comeuppance that even Jaime's family can get behind. Will these two work out their problems before someone finishes what they started nine years ago or will they be forever torn apart?
Jaime and Sebastian have great chemistry. This story is really good and I was hooked from page one. There were a couple times I wanted to strangle Jaime for his words and behavior but he finally got his act together. I can totally understand why he was so angry but I think he took it a little too far when he lashed out. I really liked Sebastian. He is a very strong omega and does what he needs to to take care of his son. I understand why he felt the need to keep his son away from his alpha father but I also understand that it's very hurtful to Jaime and his family. I absolutely loved Matty. He was a very intelligent, precocious child that had me laughing at several places. He was a perfect combination of Jaime and Sebastian. I hope there's more to this series because there's a loveable bear who deserves his story.

My favorite Sweet Alps book!
4.5* for His Dangerous Omega by Raiven Matthews, book #4 of the Sweet Alps Mates series.
For 9 years Jamie Sinclair, the youngest of the Sinclair Alpha wolf quads, has suspected his fated mate could well be dead.
Meeting his fated mate on a mission as a CIA operative was bad enough, but then he was informed he had been killed... before they realized that were both undercover operatives for different countries.
Sebastian, the homeless hacker kid turned MI6 spy and assassin, is horrified when he meets his fated mate while undercover breaking a human trafficking ring. But then he is betrayed from within his organization and left for dead, floating in the Mediterranean Sea, newly pregnant.
9 years later, a wolf pup with Sinclair eyes comes stumbling out of the Sweet Alps forest, chased by an assassin and followed by the one man Jamie has never been able to forget.
I loved Jamie and Sebastian's story, I think it's probably my favorite of the Sweet Alps Mates series. Sebastian is just perfect, the omega who is more of a badass than any Alpha, and I loved the spy romp... and their gifted son.
Plus any scene with Mom Mary in it is comedy gold.
“It’s a kink club, Mom, so yeah. They’re for a monster themed room.”“Huh,” she said after a moment, “monster cocks? That’s a thing?”
It's such a fun book and having seen him in books 1-3, it was so good to get to Jamie's story.
In this you'll find: MM romance; second chance love; shifter MPreg Omegaverse; heats and knotting; fated mates; a wolf shifter, a honey badger shifter and their wolf pup; an assassination attempt; a single Dad omega that takes down his alpha; a gifted kid that goes head-to-head with his father, swearing in multiple languages; spice and sex toys; a former homeless kid that thinks he isn't good enough; found family; and a HEA.

Hands down my favorite of the series. The espionage vibes, action-packed beginning, hidden betrayals, and roads to redemption drew me in and I couldn't be bother to put the book down. Add in the fact that Sebastian was a HONEY BADGER, and I was sold!
So we start with their unconventional meeting, which happens at the absolute worst time. The story starts off by taking us through their history and to present day, where Sebastian is still 'on the run' and constantly looking over his shoulder. I loved the balance here, it was the perfect amount of backstory, mutual pining, and mystery. How did they end up here and how were things so broken? I found myself utterly captivated by what an absolute bad-*ss Sebastian was. Like the man took down alphas that were double or triple his side and I loved what an enigma he was. Not to mention, Sebastian was a honey badger shifter, which I have never read before and honestly, that is a crime...we need more honey badger shifters!
Then there is our wonderful kink club owner, Jamie, who had so much more depth to him than I previously gave him credit for. He really evolved over the course of the story and I loved his journey from jaded ex-agent to lover and parent. But getting to that HEA was a journey. Lots of feels, lots of heart-to-hearts, and the perfect amount of steam and meddlesome 9-year-old to break it all up.
I adored the pacing of the story, starting off with all the action and then fading into healing and romance. The relationship between Sebastian and Jamie isn't overshadowed by the tension. Things flowed so smoothly and I couldn't get enough. Needless to say, I am thrilled to see Gabe and Asher are getting a story because I desperately want more.

Fated mates. That’s all I got. Need I say more?
Okay. Fine. There’s a little more to this story than the ‘I found my fated mate,let’s go, at first sight’.
Jamie Sinclair found and lost his fated mate all in the span of a couple of weeks, almost eight years ago. He’s always had the slightest spark of hope of finding him but he wasn’t holding his breath no matter if his wolf was telling him his mate was out there. His head knew what he heard all those years ago. He’s left that life behind and is determined to keep it that way.
Sebastian Hollingsworth couldn’t go back to the man he had met all those years ago. He was scared of what he would find. He did however know that if push came to shove he could trust him with the most important person in his life. The reason he had left and stayed away for so long. Sebastian prayed that day when he would have to seek him out would never come but he knew life wasn’t always easy.
When the inevitable happens and Sebastian and Jamie are forced into each others orbits once again it will take everything in them to trust themselves and each other not to repeat past mistakes.
Raiven Mathews does an excellent job at navigating the delicate and fragile relationship between Jamie and Sebastian. It was so easy for me to get lost in the heavy emotions from both characters. I couldn’t put my phone down for a second. I was so engrossed in all the secrets that were being unveiled and loved the healing process that happened between our two main characters.

Emotional rollercoaster
I have been waiting for Jamie's story and I was not disappointed.
He's had a dark past but it was necessary and exactly who he is at heart, a hero and protector.
He truly believes he's damaged and I loved how supportive his family is.
Bash and Jaime met under false pretenses, both secretly working for their countries.
Both instantly realized they were fated mates but circumstances intervened and now it's been 9 years since they've seen each other.
Bash is in danger and moves to be closer to Jaime in order to have protection for their (surprise!) son Matty.
Jaime is so angry and lashes out because he honestly has no other response.
There were very valid reasons Bash stayed away and eventually Jaime realizes this and sets out on the road to becoming a partner and parent.
Matty was amazing and I loved his and Bash's dry British humor.
Bash, for his part has secretly feared getting to know Jaime and his family.
He's always felt as though he wasn't good enough.
Jaime consistently proves otherwise to him.
These two were so hot together, their intensity and passion leaped off the page.
I was pleasantly surprised by Wade's feral response to Bash but then again it's perfectly Wade.
He just wanted to care for Jaime and protect him because who does that for him when he's done it for everyone else for years?
Jaime and Bash's road to HEA was rocky but so worth it.

As we’ve seen Jamie throughout the series, I’ve been eagerly waiting for his book. I wanted to know more about Jamie and his lost love, as the past few books have hinted. I did not expect his “lost love” to be someone like Sebastian. I was pleasantly surprised.
Jamie and Sebastian have a rough start, twice. And an unexpected son that Jamie doesn’t know about. The story has a lot of unresolved emotions. And Sebastian isn’t a fan favorite for a while. But I understand why he did what he did. And I love him for it. I’ve always loved Jamie throughout the series. He has a heart of gold despite his past career. And Sebastian, his animal could not fit him better. I loved the conflict and conflict resolution and how every chapter plays out.
What really surprised me is the role Wade played in this story. His sass comes out in full force again and he brought a lot to the pages. In a lot of ways, we can see how Wade has grown since falling in love with Finn and becoming a father. In other ways, we can see how Wade will never change and I wouldn’t want these personality traits to ever change. It’s what makes Wade… Wade!
I really enjoyed this story. It had depth, humor, intensity, passion, and a lot of love. Some of it was a want to “rip your heart” out love. But what else can you expect from shifters?

I really enjoyed the last Sinclair brother being reunited with his fated mate! You don't need to have read the previous stories before this one but I do recommend it. We get just hints of Jamie from the other stories but learn much more about his brothers and their mate who have a fairly prominent role in Jamie's life. What I liked about this one is that much of the action is in the beginning and the remaining story really focuses on Jamie and Sebastian learning to communicate, trust, and in general learning each other. This was full of emotions and it brought a couple of tears to my eyes as neither has truly had an easy past. While the focus is more emotional than action, that doesn't mean that this is a slow read at all. These two have quite the interesting past and I loved the way the flashbacks were threaded through. There is also quite a bit of heat here and I loved all the sexy times. Even though Jamie's the owner of the club, I think this was probably the least kinkiest out of the brothers' stories. It still rates about a 5 out of 5 on the spice scale because these two know how to heat it up!
The Sinclairs are amazing and I love how the family rallies for each other. This series has truly been an amazing ride and while the brothers are all now settled with their HEA, I have a few side characters that I want to see.
