A Scottish clan should be able to select whichever omega they want for their ruling pack, but the woman they choose has other plans for her destiny. Freya Stumbling across a clan pack and a lone woman in a hotel room, was nothing like my mother had warned me about. She used to tell dark tales of how packs would treat omegas like me. Yet, what I witnessed in that room left me wanting the attention they lavished on that woman. As my heat draws near and I become overwhelmed by arousal, all I can think about is being with them. But, I’ve never even been with a single man before, let alone four powerful, hot alphas. So, I run in the wrong direction - back to my dangerous past. Connall As Chief of the Clan, it is my duty to secure my pack's position, but ever since that woman burst into our hotel room, all I can think about is her. Risking the safety of the clan for just one female seems reckless, yet we pursue her anyway—even if it turns out to be the wrong decision. ——— If you like your omegaverse romances with, scorching why-choose scenes, a hot alpha pack, a sweet yet sassy omega, nesting, knotting, suspense, and a guaranteed HEA, then you’ll love Omega for the Clan.
This could’ve been a very nice take on an omegaverse story, instead it only touched topics surface level, without exploring any “deeper” aspects.
**SPOILERS/OPINION**
Freya has lived alone since her mother died. She’s an unmated omega in hiding using illegal pills and scent blockers to hide her designation. Her mother kept them isolated almost her entire life, telling Freya that Packs were evil and archaic. And that Alphas only wanted to breed you, then toss you away when some younger prettier Omega came along.
Freya decides this is NOT going to be her fate! She builds a life for herself, an “independent” life (sure she’s in hiding) but she would rather work sixty jobs than be a pack “whore.” When she catches the Laird of the nations pack and his pack in very compromising positions in their hotel suite that she was to clean…her interest in sex starts (she’s never really been interested before - having been taught by her mother that it was only for the men’s pleasure and hurt). Conall the Laird and his brothers/pack have hookups with Betas but Conall is expected as Laird (king) to take an Omega bride soon (one he’d share with his pack). He never participated in the orgies his Packs do, just watches…knowing he’ll only participate when he finds his Queen, HIS OMEGA! Imagine his shock/surprise when a tiny maid stumbles into their hotel suite to witness his pack having sex with a Beta while he watches on. Instantly, however, something about her intrigues him, and he goes on “the hunt” for her.
When Freya meets up with the Alpha Clan again it’s at a ball, where Conall’s pack (a few of them) corner her telling her she smells irresistible, also not realizing this girl is the Omega their Laird has been fixated on. From here on out the story just goes downhill.
I liked the Pack, (except for William, wasn’t crazy about the stupid narcissistic youngest pack member). And I think I would’ve loved Conall if Luna Darling had delved deeper into his character. She gives us a basic picture of a complex Alpha Laird, who WANTS and Omega and is waiting for the perfect one. But the moment he meets her (Freya) he goes “rigid, unfeeling, and robotic.” He gives off the distinct impression that he’s NOT interested in her, and since he’s the Laird, no matter how much the others might want her, they can’t claim her as Pack Omega until she agrees and he claims.
Throw in some random (way too quickly explained away) sub-plot involving Freya’s mother, and the reason she was in “hiding with Freya,” - and a “villain” who is two dimensional and doesn’t really get what he truly deserves (his ending is rather anti-climactic) and that’s the only “action,” in the book. This sub-plot is really not explored well, and only takes away from Conall’s character and getting to know him as Alpha Laird of his pack who is WOOING FREYA!! You barely get any action between the two of them and Freya and Conall are honestly the most important characters. Sure each of his pack plays a role in the story, but again, their characters lack so much depth…it’s really only Conall that’s intriguing, and you barely get time with him and Freya exploring their relationship etc.
I just thought that this book, an Omegaverse book that takes place in Scotland with real Lairds running clans that are packs should and could’ve been a GREAT twist on the “normal” omegaverse tropes. But it just was short and “shallow,” without enough character development to make you truly invested in the main characters and their lives. In addition, come on…where was the great epilogue? The book itself was disappointing enough without lacking a terrific epilogue where the grand Scottish castle is teeming with “wee ones.” Again, an idea for a “different” kind of omegaverse that was executed poorly, IMO.
Book begins with her witnessing her future love interests having carnal relations with another woman and them wanting her to join. Uh… no.
From then on it was all about 3 (of the 4) guys being horn dogs and it felt like they never really cared about her as a person. Just that she was a sex object. That they only wanted her because she was an omega and smelled good.
Also felt the 4th guy, the head of the clan, never even showed her love and always made her feel unwanted and insecure. Telling her that he was waiting for his omega but never saying that he wanted her to be that omega until the very last. He was always cold and though he berated others for mistreating omegas he had no qualms twisting things to suit himself.
Honestly I couldn’t get past the opening scene and it tainted all that followed. Sure we get that these guys had other women before, but the author could have shown that separately instead of making the heroine witness it. Wouldn’t that just make her doubt for the rest of her life that they desired and had enjoyed others more than her? Also having to know that she would have to continue to see this beta woman in the future? The men will never have to deal with any doubts or insecurities because, of course, she’s a virgin. They never put themselves in her shoes.
Another thing that bugs me, the way she was fired from her job. She’s given a list of rooms to clean, was told they were unoccupied and needed to be cleaned ASAP due to a big gathering. No one tells her that a room on the list is now occupied, so she enters the room to clean it as she’s been told (thus witnessing the pack with another woman). She is then fired because she did not psychically know the room was in use when NO ONE told her. The responsibility was for management to inform her not to clean that room after all. As for it suddenly being occupied and not listed as in use, that also falls to the clan chief who owned the hotel because he was the reason it was suddenly occupied and probably did not want his staff to note it in the books as he wanted to keep their dalliances with a woman not their mate secret.
The writing itself was not bad, but the story hit wrong from the get-go.
I don’t fully understand what happened with her first Heat. I also think the opening of this book is wild. Also I don’t understand at what point anyone fell in love.
So I was intrigued by the idea of Scottish alphas, an avid fan of Highlander and other shows/stories about Scotland I had to read this story. So the pros-it’s a well written story, the characters are fleshed out just enough to form a bond with them. The world could use more work, but all in all it’s enjoyable. The plots, and issues are ties up in this book which is nice. Now the cons- maybe I’m used to other MV stores where the pack are all together with the omega, but not this story. For the first heat only three of them stick around and only one actually penetrates her, that scene was a train wreck to me and could have been written a bit better. But weirdly she’s in heat has one knot then leaves the castle to… what? It doesn’t clarify and the next scene is her working at her bakery. So confused. The next thing you know each of the pack seem to be kinda courting her, one on. One at lease with the lead alpha no where to be found? Until her safety is at risk then she’s back at the castle. And then she’s home again when she sends what I assume to be a snarky text, that we never see, and Connell shows up to set her straight but she’s in heat again. And again he refuses to participate in her heat, now I get the reason why. But again the heat scene is still off. No group activity. And it seems to be over super fast again. But this time she is with Connell because she has met his requirements for him to participate in her heat. So the next heat, yeah she seemed to fall into heat every other day… they are all in the room two of the pack are going at it with her when he shows up and kicks them all out. I mean maybe this author doesn’t k ow how heats are supposed to work?? I generally like a lot of action with smatterings of steam, this one doesn’t really seem to have it. Maybe you will like it, I loved the story idea, just maybe the execution wasn’t good.
Probably one of the worst books I’ve read in awhile.
1. The author is desperately trying to incorporate Scottish dialogue but it comes across forceful and awkward. 2. The entire story is shallow and not fleshed out at all, weak character descriptions and story building with no real depth to it at all. The 3 side alphas have more interaction and buildup than the actual main alpha connal who’s supposed to be this big bad hottie. 3. Freya is just a walking contraindications.
Save yourself the trouble and the time. The only reason this wasn’t a DNF was because I was waiting for a specific scene to pop up from teasers and even that was a disappointment.
Probably the worst book I’ve ever read. Yes it’s kindle unlimited so I get these books are already sometimes not the best and I take that into account. I also have read a lot of them and understand it’s usually a basic story with smut.
This one literally doesn’t have a story at all. They mention things and then don’t ever go back to resolve them. They repeat things multiple times. They seem to change a thought in the middle of a paragraph with no reason. To top it all off the smut is like a side thought, barely there and in no detail.
Honestly would have not finished but felt I needed to in order to write a review.
This was a fun read. But I just wish there was a bit more in certain places. Like Fmc is very independent, then she's a shrinking violet.... then there's Blair, and it hits on her for a second, then she shows up at the wedding.... why mention her again for nothing to come of it??? The guys/clan could have used some more... Hamish, I feel, is the only one we really get to know. Was more found out about her mom? Did Freya find out if that really is her Dad? What of the other pack mates of his? Ged---- what does he know? There's like 3 paragraphs that include him, but He's her father figure???
I just get kinda lost in the the sub plot and hate having a bunch of unanswered questions.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Usually I’m all for morally gray lovers, but something about Freya’s relationship with the pack felt flat and a little wrong. Their relationship progresses in a very binary way, and it’s extremely predictable. In some ways, this compliments the extremely detailed plot twists, of which there are many. All in all, the book was a nice read and I read it very quickly. It’s very quick, easy to understand and would make a really good “beach read.”
This story was cute. I found it after seeing a spicy Tik Tok of the opening scene. I guess I expected more spice for reverse harem omegaverse. That being said, the book was written well. No errors and decent dialog. It got a little repetitive with her insecurities. As a debut novel for this author (I didn't see any others on Amazon) it's good.
Make no mistake, there is plenty of spicy heat in this omega story, but it is a sweeter take than most. The innocent omega has been raised to fear alphas and their dominance, but this innocent little omega has met her match in a pack of alphas willing to follow her lead...to a point! It was a fun story, sweet romance and nicely spiced for getting your blood pressure up a bit!
In what world does a romance author think that we want to read about men sleeping with another woman? No protection either and they just kept doing it once they met her. THEN they ask her if it made her hot? Eww gross, no. Once they asked that question I was done. Also the whole “ye” and “dinnae” was annoying.
Habe mit wesentlich mehr Spice gerechnet, hier hat man viel mehr Story. Mich hat manchmal da Ye und Yer beim Lesen aus den Konzept gebracht. Hier hat die Autorin Umgangssprache benutzt, was sie im Vorwort aber auch angemerkt hat. Das zwischen Freya und den Clan geht eher langsam voran und man hat viel drumherum.
Under developed plot. Lackluster character development. Flat and not very interesting. Scotland seemed to have been added as a afterthought and brought nothing to the story.
I wish it was more graphic with the nr scenes.but otherwise a good story. Hopefully the second book won't lead to bs with that blonde chick but otherwise excited for the next book
I enjoyed this story, of how Freya met her pack. Being an omega, she is strong willed . Hiding in plain sight until she stumbles into a room that’s meant to be unoccupied. That’s when her journey begins. Do read any TWS.
I could barely finish the book. The Omega rarely interacts with any of the pack until nearly 85% into the book. Then boom, it's over. A lot of book with barely anything happening at all.
Its missing something. The story feels emotionally under developed. She has like no real connection to any of them...maybe a little connection with Hamish.
The most boring heats ever. I really wanted to get into this, I love Scottish lairds plus add omegaverse,it should have been a hit. For me it was just lack luster.
“You’re heat is a burden to ye and a privilege to us.” This Omegaverse was a different refreshing read. I adored the clan and Freya’s happily ever after ❤️
Honestly, this book was very lackluster for me. Freya was perpetually shifty, and the relationship she had with the Pack just didn't seem genuine. There was no point in the book where it made sense that feelings blossomed. Which brings me to the next point where not all the men even slept with her, which portrays a really weird dynamic between them all. Also, this is nowhere near what an omegaverse is. They had scents, she had a heat, they had knots, they were supposedly alphas and she an omega... THAT'S IT. There wasn't any scenting, there was no primal drive, no bonding, no raw dedication, and her heat only lasted 1 day. It was very much a low level written "omegaverse" that gave off the vibe that the author doesn't truly know the full extent of what it is and the energy it needs to eminate.
Over all, as an omegaverse junkie, this novel was a disappointment.
