Resistant Omegas #10
Sampson
[Ménage Amour ManLove: Erotic Alternative Paranormal Ménage a Quatre Romance, M/M/M/M, public exhibition, werewolves, HEA]
After being hidden away for over six years by his last Alpha, Sampson doesn’t know how to be around people. He hates to be the center of attention and mostly tries to keep away from everyone, getting lost in his writing, except for one person… Who he’s invisible to.
Slate spent most of his time as a guard at the Chicago pack denying how much he wanted Sampson because of the consequences of giving in to temptation. But everything is different now on Lilleulv, right?
Calver has wanted Gareth while in Denver, and the feeling is mutual. All they need is a blond firecracker to bring them together. Both Sampson and Calver respond to Gareth’s Alpha personality, and even Slate is a welcome addition if he could get his head on straight.
But when they try to manipulate Sampson, will he call it quits, or is it time for some revenge?
Note: This book is written in first-person point of view.

This next installment in the Resistant Omega series picks up right where the big Valentine's extravaganza (in book 9) left off. In fact, it goes back just a bit, so it's easier to see where Sampson and the men he is interested in comes from. His story, like all the others', is one of overcoming the effects of the past. Only, in his case, he was abandoned as well as abused. Slate, Gareth, and Calver have a hard time understanding many of Sampson's issues, and that added to the general mayhem unfolding in the bigger story made for an intense read.
Sampson is a writer. It isn't clear whether he would have been one without being locked away for years, with nothing to do but think, or whether he was always meant to be a writer, and the stories in his head were what saved him from going insane in the lonely closet he lived in. It doesn’t really matter, but it does explain why he doesn’t like being the center of attention. He likes his space, and his safety, and having a room that is big enough it doesn't remind him of the prison-closet his abusive former inner circle kept him in. He is so interested in Slate he'd normally jump him, but the man doesn't seem to know Sampson exists.
When Gareth and Calver, an alpha and another beta, start paying attention to Sampson, Slate loses it completely. He makes some pretty stupid remarks, and in typical Omega fashion, Sampson fears the worst and withdraws. The men don’t make it better, and lots of drama ensues. Some of the developments in the bigger story mean they get a real choice though, and while the threat from the anti-Omega faction isn’t solved completely, the solution they develop does allow the four a real choice. And a tropical island as a place to live is not the worst possible outcome!
If you like drama and emotional outpourings, if you enjoy reading about four men trying to communicate but having to relearn the basics, and if you want to know what's next for this ever-growing group of Omegas and their loved ones, you will probably like this book.

This one was predictable and I am ready for the series to end

I love Joyee Flynn and I love her books (I'm more likely addicted), but this time I'm teared apart between 2 and 4 stars. I'm a little bit disappointed. I didn't like Sampson, I don't even know why. He just was like the center of attention all the time when I wanted to know more about feelings between the other three. it's like 1+3 not four of them. I had this feeling like he didn't deserve that. They deserved more.
Then I get excited and heavy staff began and there is a lot about everything but not what is important. I mean suddenly someone want to change the whole life of the MC's and they just talk? seriously? And they don't even think that someone will want to find them and kill all omegas so to be sure? They really think this scared shits will let them go away?
*heavy sigh* I so love this series and now I had to talk myself into finish it. Now I'm afraid to reach for the next one, because I don't want to find it lacking even more...

Holy moley there is a LOT going on in this book. Besides Sampson and his possible inner circle, the alphas of packs without omegas back in the States have taken over the packs that do have omegas. Fortunately, our guys are all still on an island so the other alphas didn't get what they wanted which was to round the omegas up and banish them.
A lot of political maneuvering and machinations in this book which makes it even more interesting than some of the others.
Granted, I adored the love story that Sampson got, but I was happier to see that these omegas and their inner circles could all live on the island like a giant family. I loved that idea!

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 fun, entertaining and sexy read.

Lots of grammar errors in this one compared to all the others. I liked the plan Carson, Tristan, and Wesley thought up to help Sampson with his men and I did have moments when I was smiling or cracking up while reading this book. I felt that Sampson was too passive and his men a bit too aggressive for him. Sampson's story was okay and what little plot there was was interesting.

Have to say I'm not enjoying the back story with the problems with the whole Omega network. It's a lot of stress in a book that I think should be mostly about the joy of the Omega finding his mates. Really enjoyed Sampson's story however and his growing connection to Gareth, Calver and Slate. One of the better romances.

The biggest frustrating thing is all the little things that seem to get blown way out of proportion in this series.. needs some re-vamp to minimize that without losing the 'resistant' part of the stories

The Omega's world is getting more and more interesting and, of course, complicated. I continue to look forward to what's happening next!

Man this series...I really enjoyed this book. And Sampson wasn't as annoying as the previous Omegas. And the vows had me cracking up.
