Omegaverse without shifting. Alphas, Betas and Omegas in a medieval setting.

A princess who has hidden a secret with herbs. She's been waiting for her first love to return after leaving for battle over two years ago. Three very different love interests for the princess, why should she only pick one? MM domination/power scenes within the MMMF scenes, and knotting. Main H remains celibate while away at war. A smutty fun story with a hea.

I liked it. I love this world that she created in this series. I really loved all the H's. They all were such good men even though they were so distinctly different. This was crazy steamy as you can imagine from a reverse harem Omegaverse. I mean 3 Alphas rutting one little Omega through her heat. Though my only issue was Declan the most Alpha of the H's when in the bedroom. He needed total control. Even though he had always loved Dede, he was Bi and in love with Grady too. So because of his dominance and Alpha tendencies, he had to force Grady and Byron into submission. So even though they protested that they didn't want to, Declan forced them to allow him to fuck them and touch them intimately if they wanted to be with Dede too. His reasoning was "it's gonna feel so good" or "you're gonna cum so hard" but it was a little uncomfortable. I mean I don't mind a little dubcon in Omegaverse because usually it has to do with the Omegas in heat and being part of their nature. This was a same sex relationship forced on Alphas which isn't in their nature at all and they explicitly said they didn't want it. So that was a little bit of a mixed bag for me.

Not my favorite, for the dubcon MM content. I've read the other books in Coveted Prey + I have enjoyed them for what they were. So I knew mostly of what type of Omegaverse characters that could happen in Liv's books. This book however is the first of the books that dips into that MM content.

Plot wise and setup though this had the most interesting premise to me out of all the books + even the excerpt. However once the main plot ends (half wayish through the book) - then it's onto the relationships part which..............yeah did not go with me well. That's when my rankings went from a four and down.

Basically the other arc of the book is Dede now exposing as an Omega, but the thing is that Grady basically locks her into a room (not knowing she is) until she gets her period. The thing that's a bit twisted to me is that he takes her out when he realizes she is an Omega, and then apologies while then putting her in her room which he has been staying in. (Remember this is her room that Killian would rut other girls in too lol............whatever I guess, even if she is a princess. Past books from Liv have had the random girls whom people have done still nearby so I guess why should this phase me.)

Declan is letting this go since he knows it needs to get out of Grady's system, and Bryan is locked up while this whole debacle is happening. Which on Declan's part...uh. okay sure just let Dede whom you know is an Omega go on like that. Well to be fair Declan has said he loves BOTH. /shrugs/

Even if Dede was NOT an omega, that's just messed up that Grady was doing that to her - but the moment he realizes she is an Omega? He's sorry. Well it's not the end, since then when he realizes he basically hides her in this room and ruts her alone for days. Everyone knows this is cruel so it's no surprise when he leaves her - Dede seduces and gets into Declan who is already in love with her. In my opinion the hottest scenes in the book was Dede x Declan if I had to rank.

The first MM scene (no rut) is hot where Dede is doing head to both Declan and Bryan. HOWEVER right after that is when it falls for me. Up to this scene, there's been no prep for Bryan getting some MM content - or feelings...but he's the character who gets that dubcon.

After Declan rut Bryan...I was really close to DNF for once with Liv's book. Declan is doing this as a also authority as an alpha - plus his own lust + Dede wants a hot show...it was just too fast, too forced and totally dubcon. Basically it's the Alpha authority, but the difference is that Declan does that by fucking Bryan (and eventually Grady) since it's what they "need" as he puts it.

Bryan got into the mindset of what sometimes happens with characters after dubcon sex - dick in, brain out. After the rutting he loves Declan...???? It at this point felt a bit comical since Bryan is sort of really innocent/sweet, but where did this come from? It basically just pointed to he was that good in bed to Bryan lol............

Declan was interesting and honestly pretty well out compared in tier for Alphas that Liv has written...but it did feel like the MM portion for him (who is also the driving portion). I could see why he loved Dede but kept it in the backburner, but honestly Dede's feelings to me in the end for him...really just went to lust. In the epilogue she does say it to him, but it didn't flow right. Also Grady's MM feelings were just a write in to me, since he tells Declan he's not into that or that way (but way later in the book Declan mentions how when Grady was younger...he did? (I guess experimenting?) idk.

Dede at this point has extreme Omega/preheat brain, so honestly she just went into the background to me and is getting all the sexytime and show she needs.

In terms of "sweetness" it would be Bryan, Declan, and then Grady dead last.
In terms of being smart... Declan, Bryan, and then Grady last.
In terms of alphahole(ish) category it would be Grady, Declan, and hm...Bryan doesn't fit in here.
Basically Grady and Bryan are mostly polar opposites and Declan is the balance to them both.

In the end, it felt that this book was trying to check off too many kink checklists - that it didn't all cohesively fall together. Out of all the books in this series, it had one of the most interesting plots - but to me ranks the lowest out of them all sadly :(

OH! But wait bonus thing, I am so glad that after Declan ruts the guy's ass - at least it's mentioned that he cleans himself up before having sex with Dede. (You never know when those things can get gross lol in dark books)

Honestly just because the MM felt so forced I couldn't fully enjoy it - if you are just reading only the steam scenes and don't care about the cohesive feelings, it's alright...but the dubcons. That and I mean it does feel like the scenes are lacking in some way compared to the way Liv wrote scenes in previous books. Because there's just so many things trying to be checked off could be why it doesn't work for me. It would've been better if this book either took most of the MM or spanned it into two books to make it more cohesive.

This was surprisingly a very good omegaverse RH romance.
One omega that is suppressing her true nature and 3 Alphas that couldn't be more different from each other. I think the fact that the guys (at least 2 of them) had to work a lot on their own struggles to be able to accept sharing the woman they love , made this a very sexy and entertaining read.
The book lacked proper world building and maybe a more solid plot, but if you are here for smut, knotting, heat, lots of hot sex scenes,then you are in the perfect place, this one has them in spades.
To be mentioned that there is MM action, submission and obviously sharing👀👀

Things to have/plan before and during reading:
♥️ Seclude yourself away from the world for several hours
♥️ Bring a fan cause this shit is hot
♥️ Be prepared to fall in love with Declan, Byron, and Grady.
♥️ Have I mentioned falling in love with Declan? He’s broody, growly, and everything you could want in a possessive first alpha mate.
♥️ Get your haterade on for Killian. Ugh, that man 🤬

Lane never ceases to amaze me. This story wasn’t just about good and evil, right and wrong. It was about finding what works for you even if it’s unconventional. I found humor in the way these three acted with each other and I swooned over how loving and protective they were of Dede.

There is a depth in each character and story in this prey series that you rarely find in other stories. I can read a story and enjoy it but each time Lane releases another book I can’t wait to read it. She has a talent not many can or have mastered.

It’s something in the way she crafts each person separately. Some are vastly different but the way they all come together in the end is perfection.

You travel through this story as if you’re watching from high up or you’re a fly on the wall. Man… would I like to be a fly on that wall 🤤

Each book in this Prey series gets better and better. I think honestly this is probably the hottest book Lane has written. M/M scenes, MFM scenes, MMMF scenes, and MF scenes. You truly get it all. I can only wait with baited breath to see who’s story is coming next. I shall wait (not so) patiently 😉

Ok read, some of the scenes were frustrating and I found myself upset with the characters and choices. And it was strange as some of the inner reflection seemed repetitive, every once in a while I was like "wait a minute, did this get said already?"

Hot scenes, I cannot deny it. M/M warning if you need it. There did seem to be an endless cycle of words, rut, squeal, gush, drip... All I could think of was get that poor girl a drink. She must be dehydrated!

The M/M element was unexpected and presented poorly. One of the men is literally beaten into submission and forced to agree to sex with another alpha in the group while the female and other alpha watch and get aroused. Dubcon was definitely an issue for one of the main alphas in this story and it made the entire second half of the book really uncomfortable to read.

Two stars because the first half was pretty good.

L.V. Lane is a fabulous story teller! This is book 9 in the Coveted Prey series and can be read as a standalone. So far I have loved everything I have read by this author!

Princess Dede is an omega in hiding using herbs to keep her true nature a secret. She’s trying to survive after her 1st love Grady is called away to his family estate to help battle the Blighten. Grady promised to return to her as soon as he could but after 2 years of hearing nothing Dede’s hope was fading.
Soon after Gradys departure the useless power hungry alpha Killian is put in a position of power by the king.
In that time Killian has let the castle deteriorate and brought in raiders to join the kings guard. He’s kept the king in his quarters away from Dede and everyone else.
After 2 years Dede has turned to a young alpha Bryon for comfort and affection. She had just about gave up all hope on Grady returning when he and his right hand Declan return to Langetta Castle.
Grady finds the castle gates closed to him and Killian not being very welcoming, refusing to allow an audience with the king.
Grady and Declan have to find a way to be rid of Killian to get to Dede and save the castle from further destruction.

This tale has many twists and turns to keep you entranced. Danger, angst, drama and jealousy have you guessing what’s going to happen once Dede is claimed by her three.
Grady, Declan and Bryon must work together to save Dede but also to work with each other to learn to give her the love she deserves. She won’t choose because she loves them all. Tempers flare, domination and submission is key in the end. You will fall for the three alphas just like Dede.

There is lots of steam between Dede and the three, even some MM action to add to this burning flame.

There is only 1 thing I wanted by the end of this story and that was an epilogue! L.V. Lane left me with wanting so much more!

A new book in the Omegaverse world which I love so much 🖤 This did not disappoint in the slightest. It was full of everything that it needed to have. The growly Alphas, purring, biting, knotting, rutting, heat, some MM and the awesome Omega that is Dede.

There was so much story to this book, it flowed really well and the plot just took on a natural progression of Dede’s relationships with the 3 burly Alphas. (Declan is my fave 🥵 he is 1 dominant Alpha)

This is a multi POV book which I just love especially in omegaverse with heightened emotions with finding mates and going into frenzy or heat.

If you haven’t tried this authors Omegaverse books you are truely missing out. They are fun, hot and easy to read. You get lost in the world and the characters and don’t ever want to come back out.

L.V. Lane has fast cemented herself as my favourite Omegaverse author. I love how she gives me the growly filthy goodness of alphas and their treasured omegas but pairs it with beautiful and often humorous storytelling that hooks me from the first page. Absolutely loved this story

This was an omegaverse tale between a princess in a failing kingdom with three men from her past. It was a spicy book that had the right amount of action and heart. I would have liked to see more of the background of her individual relationship with each man and in turn the men's relationships with each other. However I did love the growth that took place in everyone's bonds in the second half of the book as they all struggled to accept that our omega had three mates instead of just one. The spice definitely ramps up in the second part of the book but in all I liked the story and can't wait to see what will come next in this omegaverse universe.

A new favourite!

I know I know I say this everytime, but give me an omega, three overly possessive mates, and throw some MM in there and I'm an absolute goner!

Written beautifully as usually Liv, I loved this one! 🖤

“My filthy, lusty princess, craving an alpha’s 🐓. I’m telling you now, my little lamb, only three men will ever have this pleasure. One of them is Grady, another is now me, and the last one is Byron, but we’ll work up to that.”

Dirty, filthy, straight up jizz steamy, this new omegaverse from Ms. Lane is a must read!

Three Alpha with different and complex personality, wish and dream is brought together through fight and passion by one woman. An omega that have the biggest heart to love them all equally.

Claimed by Three is a hot, spicy and sinfully delicious omegaverse story!

The book starts out as a slow burn but half way through the heat definitely turns up high. I loved Dede. The guys each have there each have there own personalities and are growly, alphas but it was great how they all loved and took care of Dede.
You should definitely check out this new omegaverse if you love hot, protective alphas, lots of knotty scenes and an omega princess.

Ummm consent. Listen I don't mind books that toe the line of consent. While it is a trigger of mine I also find it healing... When done properly. However, this book is lacking. I skipped almost ever section that included Grady because I hated him so much. I completely ignored that he existed. I shouldn't have even finished the book but, I needed to know that Dede would be ok in the end because my heart was broken for her.

*Spoilers ahead

I mean, Grady kept the only kind person away from her for days on end. Locked her up to see if she bled and then raped her while she begged for her kind mate. I wanted to throw up. Then she just takes him back and acts like it is ok because he is an alpha in an omegaverse. No. No. No. You can write these dynamics and include consent. Do better.

I am giving this book 4.5 stars. I am only deleting half a star because I don't care for historical romance or novels written in that fashion as much as I do contemporary one.

Dede is a princess hiding her omega nature. She is being kept virtually prisoner by a ruthless alpha. This is the story of how her three mates rescue her and come to love her and each other.

There is a bit of M/M action, which I love, as well as knotting and threesomes. L.V. Lane has a gem in Claimed by Three!

This is the latest instalment of L.V Lane's Coveted Prey series, but can definitely be read as a stand-alone. We meet Dede, a princess that's been brought to the brink of catastrophe, with only one Alpha left to protect her from a disastrous future. Two men from her past return, and things get.. heated.
L.V Lane writes fantastic alpha/omega books, and Claimed by Three is no exception. The story line is engaging, the characters are well developed and believable, and the heat levels are absolutely smoking. I loved the interaction between all four of the characters, how Dede was able to stand up for herself and demand her dues, how Declan emerged as strong alpha, Byron's consistency in his feelings for Dede, and how Grady loved her enough to adapt to the circumstances. There is definite WTH moments with Grady, but the grovel is awesome to watch. I would definitely recommend this book to any alpha/omega fans, and sweetverse fans.
-The book features MM, so if that's not your thing, stay away. Also, there is some light dub-con between some of the male characters.

Dede is a princess who is keeping her Omega hidden with the help of the herb mistress. She doesn't dare reveal herself as the evil Killian would mark and claim her. Her dad the king is in a state of mourning denial, and has withdrawn from life, sequestered in his rooms since the death of his wife. Killian is running the castle and intends to take Dede along with all the power he can muster. Alpha Byron is the only one who has tried to love and protect Dede from Killian's abuse of power but finally, the alpha's return. Grady, a powerful alpha and the love of Dede since she was much younger has returned with his second, Declan and with all three alphas joining together, they could end the terrible situations the kingdom has been in since the queen's death. Grady, Declan and Byron will learn of Dede's secret and also that she's a "throwback" an Omega the needs more than one alpha to reveal her true nature. In the end there will be three happy alphas, an omega and kingdom but the path to get there is exciting, dangerous and filled with mysteries.

If RH with some M/M in it isn’t your thing then this book ain’t for you😈

Story: Dede had waited for the Alpha who promised to marry her, but 2 years is a long time with no word and things have changed. Like the fact that her home is know longer the safe haven it was and that another Alpha has claimed a piece of her heart.
But Grady is finally back from war along with his right hand and fellow Alpha Declan. There is so much he wasn’t expecting when journeying on his way home. The woman he loves in danger and taking love and protection from another Alpha, Declan revealing feeling he has kept hidden, and a secret Dede has been keeping about her true nature coming to light.

Loved this story and characters so much. Each character is so different that it was fun to see them have to deal with each other and find ways to work together. Little bit of a slower burn but hardly noticeable with how well paced the story is. And once the burns start it doesn’t stop🥵 definitely worth the wait. 🔥🔥🔥

Definitely recommend reading this book. L. V. Lane has never let me down😁.

This is a new book in the “Coveted Prey” series. It can be read all on its own. It’s a reverse harem omegaverse story that centers around Dede. She was in love with Grady but he decided she was too young and left her to go fight in a war. While he was gone another alpha came to the castle to try to take over the kingdom. Dede found a small amount of protection in a weaker alpha, Byron. They love each other but Byron isn’t strong enough to take on Killian. Dede continues to pray that Grady returns to save her. This book has a great storyline while also giving us all the heat between alphas and an omega with a helping of MM. This book also has alphas submitting to other alphas. It’s awesome and if you’ve made it this far, you will absolutely love it!

This book is a historical RH novel, set in a rundown castle where a future queen is waiting for the loves of her life to return and save her...I love that this book isn't contemporary, it was very refreshing. This book had a lot of spice but it also had the perfect amount of action. Dede has been hiding her designation for a long time and now she is finally exposed as the omega she really is. She's feisty and loving but doesn't let her men step all over her. She and her men are just perfect for each other and it was nice to watch them come to terms with sharing.

L.V Lane just knows how to write an omegaverse novel, I’ve never been disappointed and this one was just everything I could have asked for. I'm excited to see what comes next in this universe!

Wow, another sexy as hell Omegaverse book by L.V. Lane!

This book is about three sexy alphas with Declan being the dominate one and also Grady's brother-in-arms. The second alpha is Grady who has been in love with Dede for years and after returning from war has come back to claim her. The third alpha is Byron who has been Dede's rock for the past several years, and is the first one to claim her and this is when all hell breaks loose.

You must read to see how these three alphas can share one fiesty omega. You will not be dissapointed!

Love and War

To have love and war taking it away. To come home from war and what once was is different. When bad men are in charge there is he'll to pay. But only with his life. Claimed by three is indeed a thing.

I saw a review stating you should have a fan handy because this is one is HOT and I couldn't agree more. Some ice or a very cold shower may actually be required to cool you off. The love story and emotional connection between the characters also doesn't disappoint. In fact, everything about this one was perfect from the pace, the amount of angst and adventure, the perfect amount of backstory, the character development, and the HEA. It's a one-sitting read, for sure.

L.V. Lane never fails to deliver stories with both steam and heartfelt emotions. I love how the alphas had to struggle to accept each other and find the hierarchy in their relationship. It's really unique and leads to some hot fights for dominance and plenty of angst. Dear, sweet Byron is my favourite. <3 Can't wait for more in this series!

*This is a standalone set in the same universe as the rest of the Coveted Prey books. No prior reading is necessary.

A little heads up would have been nice

Contains MM content and not interested in that. If there had been warning about the content, I would simply have skipped this one, instead of wasting money on a book I don’t want to read. So, heads up to anyone else mot interested in male on male content, here is your warning. Interesting plot, aside from that. Makes you really feel for main character as her life goes to absolute crap.
