The Bunny, the Wolf, and Their Kangaroo Omega

Omegas of Animals: SD #8

by Lorelei M. Hart, Wendy Rathbone

Love doesn’t come just hopping by…or does it?

Alpha bunny shifter Archie was born second in line to be his fluffle’s alpha. He’s fine with that, having no interest in fluffle politics whatsoever. If only it were that easy and there weren’t murmurs of political unrest all leading to him leapfrogging into the position. He quickly discovers the only way out of politics is to leave the fluffle. When a job in San Diego opens up, he hops at the opportunity.

Alpha wolf shifter Ren misses his pack. But when the alpha tells you to skedaddle, you skedaddle. Unsure what to do next, he calls his cousin who offers him a place to stay and a job at the club his mate runs. Not what Ren sees for his long-term future, but it offers a chance to regroup, and he happily agrees.

Omega kangaroo shifter Skip loves his new job at Animals. The people are super nice, and it gives him a place to shift. When he’s asked to help coordinate a special fundraising event, he’s over-the-moon excited. Little does he know that the event will bring in more than just money for the animal shelter…it will bring him his mates.

The Bunny, the Wolf, and Their Kangaroo Omega is a standalone sweet with knotty heat M/M/M shifter mpreg romance set in the world of Omegas of Animals SD. It features a bunny shifter tired of politics, a wolf unsure of his path, a kangaroo in need of a job, true love, fated mates, adorable babies, friends from Animals and Animals SD, and a guaranteed HEA.

It was nice in a predictable way. But then again, I come to this books for comfort, not excitement. I know what I expect and like it

[Cath · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is book eight of the Omegas of Animals: SD series and the main characters are alpha bunny shifter Archie, alpha wolf shifter Ren and omega kangaroo shifter Skip, who all meet by chance. Archie was the second son of the alpha and has always known his older brother was due to take their father’s place, until rumours start being spread that he would be the better choice. It is not a role he wants at all and even his brother won’t talk to him now, so he sees no choice but to leave the fluffle, the only life he has known, and go to San Diego where he has managed to get a job. Ren’s sister has committed another string of crimes which will see her put in prison and his truck was used, so his alpha presumes he was part of the crimes and has kicked him out of the pack, with almost immediate effect. He calls his cousin and even though he has a new home with his two mates, he is happy to help out and give Ren somewhere to stay until he gets settled. Skip has managed to get a job at Animals, San Diego and is loving it, even getting accommodation below the club and meals if wanted, as well as a safe place to shift whenever he wants.

Ren is lucky to be offered a job at the same club through his cousin’s contacts, only in the kitchen for now, but it allows him to make friends with Skip, even if there seems to be something missing. Archie gets a job helping out in a political election office, just as a dogsbody, but he is welcome of the chance to earn a salary and starts to enjoy the role and the company, since he is missing his fluffle. Skip gets asked to help out with a huge fundraising event at the club and he gets excited at the chance, never knowing he was just about to meet his mates, plural! Archie is the missing link and he had heard about the club from his workmates and turned up on the night of the big do and had no chance of getting in without a ticket, all of which were sold out before he even moved to San Diego. He goes for a walk behind the club to check out the view and ends up invited in through the side door. All three of the shifters recognise the other as their mates and whilst it may have taken a little longer for their third to arrive in their circle, it all finally clicks into place. A bit of time off is required to cement the relationship and the trio have great fun with the fluffle kerfuffle and other jokes on Archie’s side, but also have politics and a pregnancy to navigate. A few gory scenes with the birth, so be aware! A great mix of shifters and makes you realise anyone could be your perfect match when it comes to love and a little bit of looking outside your norm, could bring your heart’s desire! A good length to ensure the background of each is explained and the relationship is well covered. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.
4 ½ stars

**********Contains Spoilers**********

I enjoyed this story. All the books in the Omegas of Animals Universe are insta-love stories, which I sometimes need to read a happy, sweet and little to no-angst story. This book is about a throuple of mates. An alpha bunny shifter Archie, an alpha wolf shifter Ren and their omega kangaroo shifter Skip. Archie, the second born alpha son to his fluffle. His older brother is the heir. Archie has never wanted the job as alpha and his brother was born for the role. When people are pitting him and his brother against each other, and openly discussing which brother would be best as next alpha. Archie decides the best course of action is to leave the fluffie.

Ren, was kicked out of the pack because his sister had used his truck in multiple crimes so the alpha lost trust in Ren even though Ren told him that he didn’t do what he was accused of. With nowhere else to go he decides to contact his cousin Aras for some help while he gets back on his feet. Aras and his mates agree that Ren should stay with them. Skip loves his new job at Animals, and meeting Ren makes it that much better. They instantly clicked when they met but knew that they weren’t mates. It all made sense when they meet Archie and their bond clicks in place. It was definitely fates way of making sure they don’t realise that they’re mates until they meet their third. All I can say is that Animals SD is more than a work place, it’s a family and none of them would hesitate to help the others when needed. I‘m looking forward to reading the next book in the series, The Owl, the Zebra, and Their Bear Omega. I’d recommend this book, series & author to everyone.

Part of the Omega of Animals SD series each can be read as a standalone each is alpha’s looking for their omega and happiness together their place where they belong. Nothing happens by chance with fate so when the two alpha’s Archie a bunny, Ren a wolf and Skip their omega kangaroo meet they have all longed for something that was just theirs. Archie is the second son of the alpha, but he knew that alpha would go to his older brother until rumors started that he would be make a much better alpha, but no one asked him including his brother so he makes a choice to leave home away from everyone he ever loved heading to San Diego so his brother would have a fair shake at his birth right. Ren has been dealt a rough hand having a sister who is committing crimes, she used her brother truck to commit the crime and that got him kicked out of the pack his family yes, he has a cousin willing to take him in until he can get us feet back under him but there isn’t a place like home. Skip is working at the club where he can meals, place to shift if needed, Ren gets a job in the kitchen working at the same club where the two become friends but they both feel like something is missing yet they don’t what until they meet Archie and all of sudden they feel complete but is this what is needed to make them feel like a family considering they are all missing for family, can they be the missing link that Skip need, can the two alpha’s get along being the alpha their omega need, and have they found the happiness they seek that only be found once you find your mates?

Archie, an alpha bunny shifter, runs away from life in his fluffle to start a new job in San Diego with a political campaign. Ren, an alpha wolf shifter, is unfairly driven from his pack and seeks out family to help him restart his life, including a position at Animals SD. Skip, an omega kangaroo shifter, realizes the emptiness of his life and hits the road to wind up with a job at Animals SD. Ren and Skip are drawn to one another but they seem to be missing something until Archie makes his way to Animals SD and the trio scent their fated mates. I love how the stories in the series focus not just on Archie, Ren, and Skip as family, but the support and love of the Animals SD family for one another, for Aras and his family, for Ren and his sister, and Archie’s brother. Easy read as the trio go for their HEA, with some minor angst from Archie’s fluffle. Always fun to see how the aspects of the characters animal sides are portrayed, including Skip’s mpreg and how kangaroos give birth. Great to see characters from other books in the series as it gives a sense of them all being a community – you don’t have to read them in order, but you’ll have a much richer experience if you do. Lovely shifter romance story for Archie, Skip, and Ren with plenty of heat and the many loving forms of family.

This is book 8 of the Omegas of Animals series and it can be enjoyed as a standalone. This is the story of Archie, Ren and Skip. Archie is an alpha bunny shifter who has left his fluffle to ensure his brothers ascension. He moves to a new job in Arizona to start over. Ren is an alpha wolf shifter who has been thrown out of his pack by his alpha because his sister used his truck in the commission of her crimes. The alpha no longer trusts him. He calls his cousin for help and is invited to stay with him in Arizona until he can get his feet under him. Skip is an omega kangaroo shifter. Skip has a new job at Animals being an event coordinator. He is serious, organized and works too hard. All three of them are looking for a reset on their lives. Once all three of them are together and meet, it is instant fated mates. I enjoyed his their paths just kept missing each other until they finally met. I also enjoyed how the omega is the most successful of the three. Ren and Archie may want to take care of him, but Skip can take care of himself. This is their story. It is well written and easy to read. I liked how they supported and cared for one another. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Archie is an alpha bunny shifter. Both he and his older brother are sons of the leader of their fluffle. His father is ailing and his brother is preparing to take over. However some fluffle members are pressuring Archie to challenge his brother but he wants no part of it. He plans to leave the fluffle and leaves in the middle of the night to head to San Diego for his new job.

Ren is an alpha wolf shifter who was told to leave his pack because of his sister's actions. He ends up in San Diego to stay with his cousin and his cousin's mates. They get him a job at Animals SD. He is asked to help the new special events coordinator for the first event. Ren is drawn to the omega kangaroo shifter but his wolf isn't talking about mates. Then Archie shows up at the club and it is clear all three are mates.

I loved this book! The tale of Skip, Archie and Ren is filled with love, loss and starting over and is an absolute joy to read. Archie is the second son of the Alpha of his fluffle and he leaves in the night to avoid conflict with his brother taking over. Ren is unfairly kicked out of his wolf pack and Skip leaves his high paying, high stress job for something new. They all end up in San Diego and eventually at Animals. Once they meet, they know they are meant to be and while they have a hurdle to cross, they do so together, strong in their bond and full of love for what they share. They truly have it all with family, blood and found, wonderful coworkers and eventually a baby that fills them with joy!.

Archie left his people who made him feel that they wanted him to take over instead of his older brother. Went to San Diego for a job with a congressman. Ren was banished from his pack after what his sister had done drove to his cousin and mates place was offered a job at Animals of SD. Skip left after getting burnt out at work he drove around and ended with a job at Animals of SD as an event planner. Ren and Skip hit it off but their animals never said mates until one night Archie showed up, had a problem with Archie’s people but was taken care of. Good book!.

I loved The Bunny, the Wolf, and Their Kangaroo Omega Book 8 of Omegas of Animals: SD. Skip and Ren have an attraction but something is missing. They aren’t sure what until they meet Archie. Ren was kicked out of his pack, Archie left his fluffle to avoid a conflict with who would be the new alpha. These three together are mates. This is a sweet story of their meeting and mating, and adjusting to life as a threesome. The storyline is good and I loved the characters. They are all caring and thoughtful. Throw in a surprise and they get their HEA. I would definitely recommend this book and the series.

Trust your gut. Archie, alpha-bunny, Ren alpha-wolf and Skip omega-kangaroo were at checkpoints in their lives that made them vulnerable to life changes. Each of these men faced significant emotional events in their lives and have to make big decisions. They ended up at Animals at different times and still found each other. Delightful story finding their way as a unit. Archie, Ren and Skip are really nice men. Skip is absolutely adorable. It was nice reading about previous families and how they fit in with our guys' lives. Nice story, well done. I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I really enjoyed this trip to Animals SD! Archie is an alpha bunny shifter who has fled his fluffle due to politics. Alpha wolf shifter, Ren was banished from his pack and went to stay with his cousin. Omega kangaroo shifter, Skip, traveled to San Diego and got a job at Animals SD. Once they finally all found themselves in the same place they soon realised they were fated mates. Sweet, steamy story with amazing chemistry, kind, loving heroes and a wonderful HEA.

"Oh my gods, it’s all coming together in my mind. My wolf was waiting. And his kangaroo was waiting. We were waiting. For you.”

More mates finding each other- Animals must have a superpower! An alpha bunny, alpha wolf, and omega kangaroo. What a dynamic! I loved Archie, Ren, and Skip (a kangaroo named Skip! <3) and thought them really cute together, and of course, a perfect match.

"I was super jealous of Archie when I thought it meant I was losing you.”
“And now? Do you still feel jealous?” Archie asked.
“No. Because I didn’t lose a Ren, I gained an Archie.”

4 stars

Archie is an alpha rabbit shifter who leaves his fluffle because rumors are going around that Archie wants to challenge his brother as Alpha of the fluffle. He doesn't want trouble with his brother. Ren is an alpha wolf shifter and is kick out of his pack because he helped his sister commit crimes. Skip is an omega kangaroo who wanted to prove to his family that he could be successful in corporate business and he does that but has no life so he quit his job. All three are looking for more in their lives and the three might just have it together. I really enjoyed this book.

[Fiona · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fantastic story about Two alpha’s Ren, a wolf shifter and Archie who is a rabbit shifter and how they meet Skip who is an omega kangaroo shifter. Each character has their own trials to go through before they actually meet up and recognise that they are fated mates. It’s a great story and I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to anybody who enjoys this type of story.

Animals magic strikes again!

Three more fated mates find each other at Animals! I just love this series. The pairings are always unique and special. This story features a bunny, a wolf, and a shifter that is rare in this genre...a kangaroo. I was caught up in their lives from the first pages. Look for a fluffle kerfuffle, and a birthing scene for the ages. I guarantee you will love this book.

[Leonie Duncan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Archie, Ren and Skip are all drawn to San Diego without realising they are about to find their fated mates. How great is a fate that will bring you two loves of your life at the same time. I was especially happy to see a Kangaroo shifter seeing as how I am from Australia. I love the Animals family and their stories, always well written and fun, great characters. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Starting over and finding love!

Running away from their problems and into one another's arms. Archie, Ren and Skip were such an adorably romantic mix of mates. Animals SD, has a way of bringing mates together. Of course, no story is complete without the extension of their families... adorable little shifter babies.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Archie, Ren and Skip all leave their previous lives for different reasons and end up at Omegas of Animals: SD. I like the way they meet and have a steamy mating. It is nice how they work together to make a life together.

[Shelley Chastagner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Each of these guys made me smile. Skip may be the omega but he's the driving force in their trio. Ren is sweet and a caretaker. Archie seems to be the glue and happy maker. I loved that we get to see Zevo and his mates make an appearance with their little guy.
Highly recommended author and series

[Laora · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like these Animals SD MMM Shifter books. There is alwaya thaf little bit of Animals medelling/ magic to get the trio together.
In this one the animal side of the men are fun. The birthing scene was unusual, love the strong alpha drop 😉.
This was another fun and light read.

The Bunny, The Wolf, and Their Kangaroo Omega by Lorelei M. Hart, Wendy Rathbone

The setting was in San Diego for the story about shifters. It was very interesting. I love the difference between the three guys. There was some drama but it a little part of the story over all I would give it a nine in a ten rating. Very hot , over to soon for me. But lovely story.

[fictional affection · Rating 1 out of 5]

Nope, so many issues with this story. It was already a stretch with three different men and animals but there was no storyline. Was I supposed to care about the election? The fluffle? Just their relationship? Nothing was enough and I skimmed 60%. I hate not being able to find something f good to share but honestly just can’t here.

I am happy to say how much I enjoyed this sweet, no angst mpreg book! The alpha bunny, alpha wolf and omega kangaroo were a perfect match for each other. When the time approached for the omega to give birth, it was fascinating in a good way. This is a wonderful new addition to this fun series.
