Delicious Alpha

Omegas Inn Love #3

by Lorelei M. Hart

Ransom

My career as a chef doesn’t leave me much time for dating. Besides that, I’ve never been the suave type. It’s not that I don’t want to be, but issues with relationships in the past have left me cautious. So, when I receive an invitation to the famous Bearclaw Inn, I jump at the opportunity. All I have to do is show up, and an omega is almost promised.

Matthias

I spend too much time in my own world. As a video game designer, it’s my job to create worlds, but my digital life has left my animal wanting more. He wants an alpha, a family, and more.

Never heard of the Bearclaw Inn but a vacation away from screens sounds perfect to me.

Delicious Alpha is the third book in the Omegas Inn Love Series. It is a sweet with knotty heat MM shifter mpreg romance featuring an omega bear shifter whose talent keeps him indoors way too much, an alpha lion shifter with a gift for cookery, the magic of Franklin and his Bearclaw Inn, and a guaranteed HEA. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone. If you like your alphas hawt, your omegas strong, and your mpreg with heart, download your copy today.

Meh. It was an omegaverse romance with little to make it stand out from any other omegaverse romance. It also has the misfortune of also being holiday themed, even though nowhere in the blurb were the holidays hinted at. If it weren't for that it would have been a three star but as a holiday hater I don't want mistletoe and snowflakes and jingle bells in April. I get more than enough between September and December. It gets a whole star deducted because of that

This is the third book in this series, with a new couple coming to stay at the Bearclaw inn. While this can be read as a standalone, I would encourage you to read the other books in the series to gain a better understanding of the inn and how it gained its purpose. Each book seems to give you a little more background in them to give you a well-rounded picture of the place. This read was short, sweet and with a little heat.

This story has an Alpha lion and an Omega bear who are married to their jobs and have not had any success in prior relationships. They both receive the mysterious wax sealed envelope with an invitation to an all-expense paid (except travel) weekend at the Bearclaw Inn. In this installment, Matthias did research on the inn and knew that Franklin, the matchmaking owner, sets up these weekends for fated mates to meet and leave happily together. Ransom on the other hand has no idea what the allure of the inn is, just that he's getting a much-needed vacation. After a frustrating travel day, Ransom's rental car breaks down on his way to the inn. Matthias sees a broken-down car on the side of the road and decides to help the stranger. He has a good feeling about him but knows he's on his way to potentially meet his forever mate so he can't get too attached to the Alpha in his car. Little do these two know, that they are meant for each other and headed to the same inn.

There is a failure to communicate, several times, in this book and you may get frustrated with these two because of it. These two miss out on time together and make themselves miserable for no reason.

This is book 3 of the Omegas Inn Love series but it can be read as a stand alone. This is the story of Matthias and Ransom. And of course, Franklin. Matthias is a video game designer and omega bear shifter. He works hard but usually works from home and alone. He wants to find his alpha and start a family. When he receives an invite to the Bearclaw Inn, he is all in. He desperately needs a little get away. Ransom is a well respected chef and alpha lion shifter. He is the chef and manager of the restaurant and he is beginning to feel burnt out. He also feels under appreciated. When the invitation comes in for the Bearclaw Inn, he is all in. Perhaps he will find the omega of his dreams. This is their story. Usually the alpha and omega meet for the first time at the Inn. But in this story, fate is given a push due to a rental car break down. It is nice how they get to meet each other with zero expectations. This is a well written book and easy to read. I enjoyed it very much. I look forward to future books by this author.

Ransom loves his job as a chef and has dreams of opening up his own restaurant. He is an alpha lion shifter and his lion is getting restless for a mate. However with his job, he has no time to go out looking for a mate and is uncertain if he can keep a mate happy with all the time he dedicates to his work. Then he gets an invitation to the Bearclaw Inn and his co-worker convinces him to go. He never expected to find an omega there that his lion wants to claim as his own.

Matthais is an omega bear shifter and a video game designer. He has never found a mate because his work is so demanding. He spends hours and days buried in his programming. When he is finished he spends all his time catching up until the next project. He has just finished his last big project and has gone to collect his mail. He finds an invitation to the Bearclaw Inn and looks it up. He is excited to learn of its reputation of inviting alphas and omegas for the weekend and matching them up. Maybe he can find the mate that his bear longs for.

Okay, so I did not like this one as much I have liked the others in this series. I did not connect with the characters as well I suppose. Ransom is an alpha lion and chef at a restaurant that tends to ride on his success but gives him no recognition for it. Matthias is an omega bear gamer and game designer that tends to get "lost" in his craft. When they each receive their invitation to Bearclaw Inn, only Matthias knows the stories of fated mates finding each other at the Inn. They click instantly when they meet on the side of the road with Ransom stranded by a broken-down rental car. From there they bond before taking things further after the first meeting. Get this book and find out how not communicating before the end of their stay leads to a bit of missed time before they figure themselves out.

Ransom worked as a chef//manager for a boss who he saw maybe a couple times a year but loved his job even though he would like to have his own. Matthias is a web designer and also designs video games and works from home. They both received invitations to the Bear Claw Inn, Matthias found out that the couples invited went home mated so he hoped but Ransom was told to go by his souse chef but didn’t know anything about the inn. Ransom rented a car which gave out on him before he go to the inn, Matthias picked him up and were surprised they were going to the same place. They connected went back to their own homes, Ransom quit his job because his boss told a buyer that he went with the restaurant as an item for sale. Matthias said that since his lease was up moving to Ransom and talked him into buying the restaurant. Good book!.

Workaholics

I can relate to the main characters of this story. They both For work work workaholics. Once I get to work I find it hard to leave and even when home I regret not bringing home some things I could have worked on in place of relaxing. Missing lunches and breaks because someone always needs me to do something. Giving back vacation days because work is always waiting for me I can't take off. Even going in on weekends.

The Alpha and Omega in this story had to learn and understand why they pushed themselves so hard. Was there something important they were lacking? Are they burying themselves in work because they have no one to be in a relationship with? But who would put up with their terrible schedules? They have to decide if they want more but do they realize they are even missing anything? Luckily they receive invitations from the Bearclaw Inn. I enjoyed this story of an Omega who has a job, time dedicated to a job just as important to him as any Alpha.

I absolutely loved reading this story and highly recommended to anyone who loves a MM Mpreg romance. Ransom is a lion shifter and a chef in a restaurant, and when he is sent an invitation for a weekend at the Bearclaw Inn, he said he will go, because he badly needs a break from working very hard. Matthias is a bear shifter who is a game creator and after working weeks on his last project, he is told to take a vacation and then he discovers an invitation in his mail to the Bearclaw Inn. When Matthias is driving along the highway, he notices somebody who has broken down in the middle of nowhere, he stops, and then he meets Ransom. Not knowing that he is his fated mate until they both arrive at the Inn. This was a cute story and there is a happily ever after for these two characters.

Alpha lion shifter Ransom puts in long days as a chef and has little time for dating. Though his lion is anxious to find a mate. Omega grizzly shifter Matthias is driven when working on projects as a video game designer, barely coming up for air and needs a vacation. The two men receive unexpected invitations from Franklin to enjoy a complimentary weekend at Bearclaw Inn, but even before they get there, their paths cross and they feel a connection. Ransom is determined to take some time getting to know Matthias, even as he struggles to keep his lion under control. Things heat up between the two, but a lack of communicating sees the two parted before they get their acts togther. Sweet and spicy MM omegaverse shifter romance with a side of angst, a loving pair, a sweet baby, and some matchmaking magic.

[Dee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bearclaw sounds like a great vaca. Ransom, is a chef who is a bit of a workaholic. He works for a boss that leaves him alone to improve and expand the restaurant while taking the credit. Mattias, is a video game developer who can get lost down the rabbit hole of creativity to the detriment of his diet and his personal and environmental hygiene. They are each stressed from their jobs and face complex decisions. They get an invitation to the Bearclaw Inn. Mattias, knows their reputation. Ransom is just looking for a break.Romance journey is nicely presented. Nice flow, two very nice and sweet guys. Nice story, good vibes. The end seems a bit rushed with few details, sad face. Nicely done. I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I loved Delicious Alpha: M/M Shifter Mpreg Romance Book 3 of Omegas Inn Love. Franklin strikes again. This time we have Ransom, an alpha chef who works to much to have a mate and family; and Matthias, a video game programmer who is also a workaholic. Thanks to Franklin these two mates find each other but living in different parts of the country would make a relationship hard so they must see it as a fling weekend, even though deep down neither wants that. Sometimes fear takes over. This is a sweet story about realizing you need to hold onto love when you find it. I would definitely recommend this book and the series.

"If you turned down the invitation, you would never receive another one."

This is book 3 in the series, Omegas Inn Love, by the writing team of Lorelei M Hart. This is another quick sweet read and did not disappoint.

This series revolves around Franklin, the mysterious matchmaking owner of the Bearclaw Inn. Franklin has been able to find and play matchmaker for several fated mate couples. With each book, in the series, we have a story about two people receiving a mysterious wax sealed envelope with an invitation to spend a weekend free at Franklin's inn. In most cases at least one of the perspective mates knows about this special invitation and the fated mate connection but the other one is completely clueless.

This story features 2 shifters, an alpha lion and an omega grizzly bear. Both men are married to their jobs and spend all their time working. With the help of Franklin these two should be able to make a mate connection.

I grabbed this ARC from Booksprout the minute I saw it, I'm on a mission to read/review all the books in this delightful series.

I loved this book!!! Franklin is at it again and this time he has Ransom and Matthias in his sights. They have been invited to his inn for the weekend and it’s quite the tale! Their first meeting is along the side of the road when Ransom’s car breaks down and that is where their journey begins. Full of love, their weekend comes to an end early with Matthias thinking that’s all it will be. But Ransom refuses to give up on his little bear and soon the two are back together living their happily ever after with everything they have ever wanted.

'I wasn’t going to let this opportunity pass me by.'

I loved the first two books in the Omegas Inn Love series and was excited to read book three. I remain fascinated by the Bearclaw Inn and matchmaker Franklin. I loved both Ransom and Matthias. I loved how they were both headed to Bearclaw when Ransom's rental car died. Matthias saw him on the road and offered him a ride, neither initially realizing they were going to the same place. I like that they met before getting there, and the banter between them was cute.

“Two predators in a car. There’s got to be a punchline in there somewhere.”

Another sweet read in this series. More please! 4 stars.

[Latecia Jennings · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sweet matchup. Both predator shifters...Love how Ransom calls Matthias his little bear...LOL...sweet. I also loved how they initially met...just perfect. While both share misgivings and didn't do well with communication, the mated pull was just to great. A lesson to show that obstacles can be overcome..dont doubt just do what your heart wants, Sweet romance...wonderful addition to the already wonderful series.

I really don't know what it is about the mpeg omega books that make me so warm and fuzzy. Ransom and Matthias are the cutest sweetest little couple. From the beginning of their meeting and then they're short separation which almost made me cry. I absolutely fell in love with them. And then bring in little Frankie heart melting. This is my first book by this author but I guarantee it won't be my last.

[Shelley Chastagner · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you want a sweet, easy read this entire series is a terrific choice. Ransom and Matthias give us another low angst story. Both are a bit too solicitous as they part at the end of their stay at Bearclaw Inn. Instead of saying what they want they remain silent to give 'room' for the other person's desires. A couple weeks apart proves them both foolish.
Highly recommended author and series

[Leonie Duncan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Both Ransom and Matthias are very dedicated to their work. Ransom is starting to be ready for his own thing and their weekend together makes both realise they should be together. These stories are just so nice with great characters. I loved this one just as much as the others in this series and I want more. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
