[Menage Amour Erotic Alternative Paranormal Menage a Quatre Romance, M/M/M/M, werewolves, public exhibition, light bondage, sex toys, HEA] Wesley survived a brutal attack only to have a few wires cross when his body healed him. Now he doesn’t know who people are until he reads their energy with a kiss… Which was what he always wanted in life. To experience one real kiss. Bay Edson needs someone to break his walls down and help him become more than an Alpha. Levey Fergus wants someone to let Levey take care of them, because it’s in his nature and two dominant males see it as coddling. And Harkin Willis hopes for a man that will be the glue to bind them all together and make them a family. But when Bay, Harkin, and Levey misunderstand the terms of the contract and screw up, will Wesley be able to forgive them? Or will he say to hell with love and spend his time raising the natural wolf pups he found? ** A Siren Erotic Romance
This instalment of the story is more than the normal "beaten down Omega finds loving inner circle" and mates them all to finally get some happiness. While that was still very much going on as the main focus for the four key characters, we find out more about the framework story as well. There are some interesting revelations about the back story, the history of the Omegas, and how their power actually works. I suspect that will keep the series going for a bit!
Wesley is an exceptional Omega in many respects. His treatment was more brutal, and resulted in some serious health-related issues. Not being able to recognize people is horrible and disorienting and explains a lot of his suspicions and weird reactions. Wesley is also a very powerful Omega (and the explanation given for that is fascinating), which helps him deal with most things. Emotions though, and human behavior, baffle him as much as the next guy.
Bay is the alpha and he wants to do things right, but just like his betas, Levey and Harkin, he messes up constantly. Half of that is Wesley overreacting, but still. These three are more clueless than usual, and the only saving grace is Levey's dedication to the wolf pups Wesley found, and Bay and Harkin's unwillingness to give up on Wesley. They are determined to become a family and deserve points for their willingness to grovel for forgiveness.
Just like for the other books in this series, if you're looking for a fun read and are in the mood for some dark revelations while you're at it, or just want to know what happens next in this series, you will probably like this book.
Wesley hit me, emotionally, even more than Lennox did, and that's saying a lot. As the oldest of the Omegas and definitely the most powerful, since his rescue, Wesley has been working with the Omegas to help them each strengthen their own powers. All the while he's been waiting for his "three" to come for him.
Bay, Harkin and Levey never wanted an Omega before because they didn't agree with them being sold as chattel or the way they were treated. Now that things have changed, this alpha and his two betas have come to Jared, Tristan and their mates to see if they can locate an Omega to be theirs.
What was most fascinating about this installment was all the history about the Omegas and their powers that Wesley was able to bring to the table. Interesting stuff. These four men struggle at first with their mating, but in the end they show that love does persevere through all. A great story, one I enjoyed immensely!!
In general I like this author for her imaginative story lines. Her writing abilities lately however, have been sadly wanting. Wesley was no exception. The story between Wesley, Bay, Levey and Harkin was nearly non-exsistent save for a very childish misunderstanding and their relationship consisted of nothing more than sex with no passion or intimacy.
Very short. Overly emotional(lots of blown out of proportion scenes & jumping to conclusions). Abrupt ending. Good story overall, just wish it was longer & a bit less high school-type drama.
Now things are getting interesting - while I enjoy the quick easy read, sometimes it is frusterating to have the 'hidden' treasure just pop into being to help solve the problems
No sé porqué sigo leyendo esta saga cuando nunca llegó a conquistarme, la trama realmente me resulta plain, los personajes no tienen ningún development muy representativo, simplemente se deben disculpar todo el tiempo por errores que ni ellos deben saber de dónde los sacaron. Y por la misma razón no desarrolle ningún sentimiento hacia ellos, ni siquiera conozco sus personalidades o gustos. Más allá de eso, la trama general de la saga se sigue desarrollando y se vuelve un poco más interesante, ya quiero saber cómo se resuelve el delito cometido por el Alto Consejo. Hablando de los personajes: Wesley, obviamente, es el principal, con un serio problema debido al trauma de lo que sufrió con su antigua manada. Tuvo un gran desarrollo en concepto de poder buscar una nueva felicidad con sus parejas, también buscando refugio en su amigo Tristan. Bay, Harkin y Levey me gustaron en un principio, siendo muy detallistas a la hora de conocer a su omega, buscando siempre el que esté a gusto con ellos; hasta que de un minuto a otro se enojaron y ¡bum! ya no entendí nada. Levey es una dulzura con los cachorros, Bay demostró ser un compañero atento y Harkin es el kinky que todo cuarteto necesita.
This is my least favorite of the series so far. The vulnerability of the abused omega and the building of trust, love, and, of course, extremely heated encounters makes this series one of my favorite guilty pleasures. However, I found Wesley to be a much less sympathetic omega than the those in the preceding books, and his conflict with his new lovers to be centered on his somewhat understandable but rather over-the-top insecurities, rather than any real mistakes by the devoted men in his new circle. Indeed, I found their feelings of guilt to be rather unbelievable and Wesley's anger to be downright manipulative.
Also, the extreme power held by this particular omega, as well as the significant plot developments in the general omega backstory revealed in this book, seem to be talking this series in a different direction. The "weak" omega unleashing powers when grounded and loved is an interesting aspect to these stories, but I find the more extreme the omega powers, the more it undermines (for me) the alluring series theme -"three dominant wolves demonstrating their devotion and protection of their vulnerable, abused mate as well as each other."
However, this somewhat unexpected twist in the "meta-plot" of this series has me intrigued about what's coming next.
I actually thought this one was one of the better stories in the series. I love to read about the MC's groveling and being punished for their ignorance. It was a perfect example of the saying "when I hurt you I hurt myself" kind of thing. It was nice reading about the cubs and learning about the real value of the omega (i.e. why they're being treated badly, their gifts/energy, etc.). A really good story, although if I'm basing this on Wesley, the alpha and betas relationship to one another I would rate it as 2.5 stars.
I love this series. There are 11 books available right now and I have them all and there is definitely enough characters and story for more! The author takes full advantage of the fiction genre and comes up with some fanciful stories and relationships, plus there is enough angst with the Omega they each should have their own full-time psychologist, instead they have 3 hot, sexy men to help heal them.
Hot - all the stories are m/m/m/m and full of angst, sex and love. The overall story line takes a big twist in #9.
A very different tone was in this book. I thought Wesley was a cutie but he was very sensitive to what happened with "his men". I did think there was a lot of new information on the Omegas and their history. It will be interesting to see how this shapes the future of the series. Wesley was a bit different from the other Omegas and at first I thought the book would be just a repeat of many but Wesley had a surprise in story for us and is quite a capable man.
This book started off really well, I liked how Wesley was an older, far more experienced, knowledgeable and powerful Omega, more sure in his own right. I really enjoy the underlying story that is being brought through the series. What I didn't enjoy so much was the temper tantrum Wesley had part way in that he clung to and wouldn't let go of - it made for a large section of the book not being so much fun.
This book added a lot more to the overall plot of the series which makes me look forward to further installments.. I find the storyline is sometimes very immature, but I've found that happening quite often with Joyee's books.. This doesn't bother me too much as I'm not always looking for a cerebral read
Wesley was cute. I liked how he knew what he wanted. The information that came to light in this story will have repercussions on this world for sure. ;)
I like Tristan more and more each book. I almost want another book about him.
