Billionaires in Heat #3
The Omega Verse
Every famous love song has been written by an alpha for an omega.
As a beta, I’ve never expected to be anyone’s muse. I’m happy to stick in the background – and with a past like mine, it’s simply safer avoiding the spotlight.
But that changes the day I learn my long-lost brother is Stix Rain. The drummer for one of the biggest rock bands in the world, we lost touch when we went into foster care. He ran away, I stayed, and I still carry the scars from growing up alone.
I have so many questions for him – until I discover he died three months ago.
I’m desperate to know more about him, but my only chance to meet his bandmates is at his tribute concert. The same concert where I get rained on, mugged, and the lead singer accuses me of being a tragedy chasing groupie.
But earning the trust of a bunch of moody, grieving rockstars isn’t my biggest problem. Because I’m suddenly triggered by a switch and my hidden omega nature takes over, hungry for knots, and bites, and a pack of my own.
Now I’m on a tour bus in the middle of nowhere, and I’m hot and needy for my brother’s best friends.
But helping me through my first ever omega heat is just the start of it.
Because someone is trying to destroy the band, and I now have an impossible choice to make.
I can either sacrifice my brother’s legacy, or walk away from the only pack I’ve ever wanted.
The Omega Verse is a standalone in the Billionaires in Heat series.
~ Omegaverse (reverse harem)
~ Rockstar romance
~ Designation switch
~ Brother’s best friends
~ Steam, steam, steam!

Switch designations is in an interesting concept but anyone else think it's weird to title a book with the genre or trope?
I've read four back to back A/o rock star books. This one wasnt bad but it was rushed. Also I'm going to write a book and name it paranormal romance

Roxy kills it at OV stories!! And this book is no exception!! I absolutely loved all the characters and fell in love with them as we got to know them.

If something was ever going to incise me to read a rockstar romance it would be to write it as an omegaverse. Which Roxy Collins has done with The Omega Verse, the third book in her Billionaires in Heat series. With a road trip, rockstars, and raging heats, The Omega Verse was fabulous.
Cass has the purest heart that shines with everything she does and a great sense of humor, with a little snark to boot. However, she does have the worst guy intuition. Gods, help her but she is a breath of fresh air. Cass is also a beta who's about to get her omega on, go Cass.
It some time to like the harem, well okay, it took some time to like Jett, he was a jerk in the beginning but he gets a pass cause he was grieving. River was understandably solemn, Silva was an adorable puppy, and Kobi was the boy-next-door type. I didn't know what to think about the musicians at first but eventually, they proved themselves as being good enough for Cass. Then there's Cass's best friend Tom, the Paramedic.
Holy crap. Tom is an alpha, Alpha. His presence alone is enough to curl toes and make eyes roll into the back of your head. He's a steady force, plus he understands people on a level that is rarely seen, very instinctual and he has a nice sense of humor.
Roxy made unique decisions about how to pull Cass's harem together. It was different but I liked that it was. This book is filled with so much longing, loss, and possibilities, it made my heart ache. This group needed each other in different ways for different reasons. It was an emotional read but had its moments of levity which helped lighten the story. She also expanded on the world, Bloom Haven was mentioned and now I wonder what other shadows are hidden in this world.
Finn "freaking" Visser has made his appearance in this book. I first met him in this series' second book (The Omega Lesson) and I'm pretty sure he was probably lurking in the first book in the Billionaires in Heat series (haven't read that one yet) but anywho, he intrigues me. If at all possible, I'd like to vote for Finn's book next because dang the man has a serious f-around-and-find-out vibe and I really want to find out.
Roxy has added another fantastic book to her Billionaires in Heat series. The Omega Verse touched my heart on so many levels. This group came together when they needed it the most like it was fate. The Omega Verse was an amazing read. This is only the second rockstar romance that I have ever read and I might keep reading them if they all turn out to be this good.

Honestly? I'm loving this series.
Is it perfect? No. But I love it's set in Australia, I love the designation switches and the relationships between all the MCs. I even loved this despite rock stars being one of my best favourite tropes.
This one made me a bit teary because of Steven being dead but I still lived for it !

Roxy did it again, She did it again! There is so much to talk about in this book. This is an omegaverse book where everybody loves everybody and they aren't afraid to show it. Check trigger warnings before reading, because it does touch some darker topics from childhood. There are designation switches in this book.
Cass has finally found her brother again, but she's too late. He was part of a famous rockband before he died tragically. Her only option now is to get to know him is through his bandmates. But from the start, it isn't easy with a lot of roadblocks.
Cass is incredible, her journey from fostercare to where she is now is so beautiful to read about even tho at times it's also very painfull to finally find out what happened with her. The men are freaking delicious, all of them. Tom is her best friend, her rock, he gives her the time to heal, to become her best self and to always protect her. He knows her inside out. He knows what she needs, before she even knows herself. Silva is just the playboy of the bunch, he has a mouth on him ( ugh absolutely in love with him from the start). Kodi is the Daddy of the bunch with his southern drawl calling her Darlin whenever he can, always thinking in her best interest. River is her closest connection to her brother along with Jett his best friend. River is just the sweetest, how they came to be, was so .. I got goosebumps. And Jett well he's really just a straight up rockstar through and through. The thing is they are all grieving in their own ways. But how they get together is the thing that got me. I had tears in my eyes while reading.
This book is not only incredibly hot but also very emotional at times. It really brought me to tears a couple of times. From the first moment of them all meeting to the plane scene, the jacht scene, the pastry date, her first time being in Steven's house, all of it. It felt so raw and real. I loved every minute of it!

I loved it. Though a stand-alone book in the series, I love the interwoven story of Finn Visser and how he connects everything- I’m kind of getting eager for his story now…. My heart broke for Cass, that she never got to reunite with her brother… and I was heart broken for River and Jett as they lost someone super important in their lives…. I enjoyed the addition of Silva, Colby and Tom. I’m drawn to stories that include a male 0mega, though he wasn’t the forefront in this story. Even though we felt some of the grief and loss (the loss happened before the story, so not on the page…) we also got to see healing and love bloom. And even though one never gets over a loss, we saw how this group got through it by coming together. The designation switch idea is a running idea through this series, and I enjoy seeing how the author works that into the plot, it’s unique. All in all, totally worth the read!

Bad guy wise, it felt like the pack got given a reprieve for their grief. Finn was more active in this one, showing a slightly softer side, and this time approaching the research issue with caution, and shutting things down for their HEA. Getting more and more curious about him.
The initial meeting was ouch. Once they knew the truth, it was pretty much hurt/comfort pack building with what felt like Tom as Alpha prime. The house visit with Jett made me tear up. Silva was sweet, although the whole beta to alpha thing was a surprise. Poor River having lost his mate and still having to deal with Celine's shit. Kobi was adorable in a big teddy bear way. It was a cute pack build focusing on emotional grief recovery. I'm glad things didn't get dark and that Steven never gave up hope.

4.25 stars
Gosh, this made me cry more than expected for an omegaverse romance. I wish Steven somehow came back from the dead, so that Cass and her brother were able to reunite for real 😢.
On another note, I really enjoyed the ‘Aussie-ness’ of this book, from the writing, to the characters and the dialogue. There’s a certain vibe that I can’t put into words, but I know that I liked it.
It’s an MFMMMM romance and, with that many MMCs in ~300 pages the relationship development was pretty instalove (aside from Cass and Tom, which — swoon), but I think I was more forgiving because of how great the chemistry and how likeable the characters were.
Super readable — kind of like a great snack (that made me cry while eating). I will 100% be reading more of this series.

A Reverse Harem Omegaverse by Roxy Collins.
Roxy Collins created a beautiful, spicy, and emotional stand-alone story in the larger Billionaires in Heat series (This is book 3) bringing the series to the next level.
Cass is a dynamic Character with a TRAGIC past hoping to find some closure by meeting with his bandmates after his passing. And along the way Roxy Collins weaves in the MLs in a way that feels authentic to the story/world but also in a way that grounds them and doesn't truly let one or the other dominate time in this story. The redemption for each character is beautiful and the challenges they face solo and together truly pull on your heart strings and root for each next level of healing and growth.
This world is layered, robust, and thought out allowing it to truly be able to be read on its own but also and leaves you feeling excited to examine the ties to the other books in the series including Finn.
READ it.. bring tissues if you are remotely a crier.

The switching designations kinda put me off, not because they changed once which would be fine and normal for the genre, because they changed several times back and forth?

This is book three of Billionaires in Heat series. It is a reverse harem omegaverse story that does have some MM.
It is not necessary to have read the first 2 books, but they do give a little more insight into the world, and there is a recurring character in all three (though not a main character).
I loved the first two and knew this one would be good....but wow it was so much better than expected! We meet Cass who has just found out about the passing of her older brother that she was separated from years ago. In an attempt to get to know more about him and what he was like, she leaves the bakery she's managing and heads to a tribute concert. A friend helps her get backstage to get close to the band. But from the moment she gets to the venue, things go wrong. She has to walk in the pouring rain, she's mugged, beaten up. But out of the rain comes a saviour. She thinks the man is just a roadie. But she's wrong
Before long she's waking up on a tour bus and realizing that she's headed with her rescuer (a beta named Silva) and brother's bandmates (Alpha Jett and Omega River) for some R&R. But a heat causes things to go awry and they turn back toward her home. Along the way they pick up a friend of the bands, Kobi (a country star). Before they get Cass home they are stopped by Tom. Tom, the friend who helped set this meeting in motion, an who she thought was just a friend. This alpha has one thought....MINE. Once the heat passes, they all try to settle in. Cass is back at the bakery, Tom is pulling his paramedic shifts, and the musicians are trying to relax. Trying but someone is threatening to destroy the legacy that Cass' brother left behind. They refuse to let his legacy be destroyed. This story has some really sweet moments, some angst as they are mouring the loss of a loved one/friend, and so much spice. It's sweet and spicy and oh so nice!

"The Omega Verse" is the third standalone in the contemporary omegaverse "Billionaires in Heat" series, and can be read on its own. I quite like how there is a common theme for all three books, with designations switching throughout the story, even though the characters are all entirely different. Together, they create a nice and wide view on this contemporary omegaverse world, with a lot of very different characters and personalities.
I have to admit I had a very hard time rating this book, and actually had to think about it for a few hours before starting my review. First of all, I absolutely loved the concept of this book and I was fully on board with raving about it for about the first half of the story. What's not to like about rockstars, an unexpected heat on a tour bus, a friends-to-lovers trope with an awesome growly alpha, a bit of push and pull between our fmc and one of the men, ...? The connection between our fmc and the men was definitely original, and I loved how this story developed at first.
But then, I started to struggle with a few things. And I believe the main reason for that, is that I feel like this probably shouldn't have been a standalone. I'm not always against relationships developing quickly, sometimes a fast burn romance (even with mating bites) makes complete sense or it's at least something I'm not too troubled with. But in this case, I believe the connection between Cass and Jett was rushed, and the one between Cass and River lacked some attention as well. At some point, it just started to feel like this had to be a standalone no matter what, and as a result I was a little disappointed at the end of this book. I feel really bad about it, because I actually love this author, but I can't help but feel this way. Also, there is one spicy scene that I just had to skip because I can't imagine "this" (I'm not giving away spoilers) wouldn't result in infection.
So I ended this book with mixed feelings. I will definitely still check out this author's future work, because I really love her writing style and storylines, but this was not my favorite book by her hand...

I love the escapist and explicit romance in this series. The type of community described is fun and titillating. The sexy times are nicely detailed. The various characters are tempting treats. The main reason that this book is not 5 stars is because I feel like the angsty feelings and depth of love described about the relationships between everyone didn't really mesh with how quickly the mate bounds form.
This is omegaverse with mmmmmf. Switch designation twists. And a mysterious Alpha who keeps popping up in the background of each book.
Two of the books in the series so far have siblings in the pack. This book has a siblings connection in one of the mates posthumously (brother/sister). This is an icky idea for me 🤢 even that twin fantasy I know a lot of people go for 🤪😬. I. Just. Can't. People. 😳 But that's my personal preference. I just pretend no one is blood related and they didn't grow up together in this type of explicit romance. 😉
The alpha/beta/omega as wolf traits is a little outdated for this sub-genre. Collins probably could have been a bit more subtle in the trait descriptions. I like the switch ideas, but in this novel, it fell a little flat and unnecessary as a character trait sometimes. This may be because the relationship connections felt rushed and a little shallow. Even with these downsides, this is a decent enough erotica in this romance sub-genre to recommend if you like reverse harem themes.

Really, 3.7 rounded up.
The first parts were so good, they felt like a fresh take on Omegaverse romances, but the second half felt rushed and disconnected and unrealistic. Maybe because all the bondings were private and one-on-one, and then there were no whole pack love-ins at the end where everyone pulls together?
I dunno, but the deeper in I got, the more the designation switching felt wrong and out of place. Beta to omega and back, then omega again, then beta and then the switching just stops? For no discernible reason? Poor Cass, taking alpha knots as a beta for the rest of her life? Holy hospital bills, Batman. Wouldn’t knotting a beta be painful for the alphas too? At any rate, I don’t see how randomly switching back and forth multiple times added to the plot.
And it’s weird, but as the story progressed I understood less and less what their draw to Cass was. Poor Tom ends up almost as a footnote, and River’s addition to the pack feels rushed and incomplete.
The conflict subplot is odd too, and never builds in a way that ever feels like a real threat. It doesn’t even mesh well with the rest of the story.
There’s a resolution to the plot but it’s messy and unsatisfying.
Essentially, I believe that a why choose or Omegaverse should end with everyone as a loving, unified, interconnected whole who want to be with everyone else. I didn’t get that here. They’re together as a not-wholly-believable rock band in a professional way, but have never knit together as a pack in a romantic way.

I think Roxy Collins in the only author that can get me with reverse harem/why chose. I’m definitely a one-woman man type of girl but the way she writes her characters leaves no one behind. Each of them have their own connection that develops on their own times. Her relationships don’t feel forced by the ABO nature or cringy plot. I had a single favorite in her last book but you would catch me on my KNEES for Tom and Silva. Sweet Jesus on a cracker the things I would do to those men. I also really like how she writes their designations. Of course they all still fall into their stereotypes but it isn’t over done. Of course the first time was abrupt but what do you expect really? And even then I’d say there was quite a lot of restraint. I’d even say there wasn’t enough smut in this one? But just like in the second book, every other page had me squirming in my seat. I laughed, I cried and I wished I had a few alphas in my apartment cause I definitely could have used them.
Also, did I skip right over to Facebook to get River’s side bits? Yes. Patiently waiting for Madam Collins to allow me in cause dang do I want to know how that went.
Once again, thank you to Roxy Collins and BookSirens for the chance to read this eARC for a completely honest review. Can’t wait to read the next one!!

So. Damn. Good!!!
This book is hands down my favorite of the series so far. Cass and her guys grabbed me by the throat and held on from the first page to the last.
As a reader I wish the book was longer so that we could see more relationship development between everyone. I’d have been there for the entire thing.
In spite of the near instalove feel, I loved the characters so much and I wanted every last one of them to have all the love that a polyamorous pack can possibly have.
Cass found the brother she was separated from as a child, but only after he tragically died. I wanted to wrap her up and sooth away all her hurts while making sure she had all her questions answered about her brother.
Most of Cass’ guys were of the broken variety. Broken due to grief and life circumstances. Watching as they heal each other is the perfect tribute to the brother/bandmate/friend that they lost. I also liked that River is an omega. There’s something so special about the interactions between two omegas that makes my heart get all squishy. Each guy brings something unique to the pack/relationship and that adds to the pool of healing power that most of them need.
I’m excited to see where the series goes from here, though it will be hard to top this one in my opinion.

Love this series of interconnected standalone omegaverse books!
I didn’t love this one as much as the others, simply because the storyline had more sadness in it. It all starts with the FMC finding her brother again after many years, having separated while in foster care, but she finds him after he’s died in a tragic accident. So the dead-brother and missed-opportunity part of the story was really sad and made me struggle to be as happy with the good parts. I loved the guys she gets with and the way they treat her and adore her, as well as how they interact with each other. But it was all tinged with sadness, which I’m not a fan of, even though it was well done, and was crucial to the story.
I love how she meets them, the mistaken identity for both her and one of the MMCs. The one guy being slightly insecure about his body was a really great addition. It made me love him even more, and the rest of the pack for how he responded.
I didn’t love the Celine side story. It felt a bit exaggerated and too-big. But it wasn’t a huge part of the story.
Overall, I really enjoyed it and definitely recommend it.

Roxy does it again! I’ve fallen in love with this series and once again, we got an amazing Omegaverse book that has a great storyline, superb characters and some HOT spice.
The story is tragic and sad but it’s also a story of healing and finding love. It’s beautiful and while I wanted to cry at times, I could not put it down.
I love the pack as everything is so easy between them and the caring and love is so potent I got jealous. I want some of that for myself. I like how the guys are so at ease with everything, they share Cassie with ease and they also learn to care for each other.
The world building is world class and I’m eagerly waiting for the next book while proabably going back to read the previous books. I’m hoping that we’ll start to unravel Mr. Visser’s secrets soon.

Definitely high heat and fast burn. I’m really enjoying the fmc’s sassy attitude. I love how well the humour offsets the sadness. It makes for an emotional read but not so much that you’re gonna be bawling the whole time.
I’m really really really enjoying the mmc’s. So many interesting personalities. And they are truly delicious. Each of the guys worked so well together even though they’d been thrown together quickly. I love seeing how well the harem works together.
I loved this book. This whole series really. So hot yet with such good stories.

Light and easy read
Although this is an easy read and light to most, this was honestly one of the hardest books for me to finish. I’ve been where Cass is. I’ve lost my big brother without a chance to get to know him, and reading about her grief only served to bring mine back up because it was written so well. I finished this book with not only a heavy heart, but a light heart. I loved the dynamics and how she was always priority, but she still made sure everyone was loved and taken care of. This was a great book to read. It brought up emotions I’d work so hard to bury. I was in tears with her, grieving with her. Great job <3

First off kudos for the name play. Second this book made me cry, that has not happened in a long time. It was not terribly sad, but it got into the feels a couple of times. I really love the concept of Switches and how this author keeps it fresh and intriguing. What I really love about this book and the series is that you get to see a new pack forming and believe me this pack is unexpected. It kept me wondering how this would work.

This is Book 3 of The Billionaires in Heat series it is a stand-alone.
This is a steamy omegaverse reverse herem romance with a solid storyline that I dove into and just couldn't get enough of. I loved the characters and how they all interacted together and the chemistry was off the charts. This was the first time reading this author but definitely won't be the last! I loved her writing style so much. This is a fantastic read that I will definitely recommend.

To me The Omega Verse was a more bittersweet read than the other books in The Billionaire in Heat series. Baker Cass (FMC) and her brother - Drummer - Stix Rain aka Steven have had years away from each other their lives went in different directions after foster care. With Steven's death Cass tried to find out what his life was like from his bandmates - Jett, River and newcomer - Silva. Only things don't go to plan and she becomes entangled with them, Kobi and her friend - Tom. They were too hot!
What I love the most about this series is the characters and how each of their backstories completely draw you in. Making you want them to get their HEA ending. In this book I wanted that for River and I just wanted to hug him. I'm enjoying reading this series so much and this was another brilliant read in it.

Loved this! I need someone to sing to me now!
This was my kind of rockstar romance! From tragedy, comes grief, growth & love with all the drama of being in a band. Dealing with switching designations, crazy females, and hot men that only have sights for the girl next door, let the swooning begin! The chemistry is so spicy, I couldn’t put the book down! Can these book boyfriends be real yet!?!?

I absolutely loved this Omegaverse novel! The concept of a “switch” continued in this novel as with the rest of the series. This time the FMC is a beta who switches to an Omega. Cass finds that the brother she was separated from in foster care has just died and she is set on finding out more about him from his band mates. While with them she finds herself switching and it all gets pretty intense! I loved Cass and how she seemed to intuitively know what each person needed. I also liked Tom and his No-nonsense attitude that seemed to dominate everyone! I highly recommend this novel if you enjoy large RH Omegaverse novels!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This is my first omegaverse book. It took me a little bit to get into the book. By chapter 7 or 8, the pace picked up as you find out more about the characters.
I think that if I had more knowledge about the omegaverse troupe, it would make more sense. The concept of knotting, I had to look up to understand.
By half way through the book, I couldn’t put it down and I felt for the fmc.

Really cute low angst read. Loved all the characters in this book and it would be really hard to choose who I liked the best. My favorite part of this story was watching all the characters help to heal each other and be something different for each others needs. This wasn’t just a normal omegaverse it was a story about healing and finding love after loss and it was so beautiful to read about.

This had me laughing … and crying … and pissed .. and then happy again.
It is a roller coaster of emotions …
It is about designation switches …
It is loss and grief and healing…
It is hot 🥵 as heck smexy times…
It is found family …
And it ended with me wanting more ..
If I could give more than 5 ⭐️s I would
