Omega Connor Murphy escaped his Irish mobster family at eighteen, seeking a life far from their violent criminal ways. Now twenty-four, he works as a manny under the name Connor Smith, where he finds joy in caring for children, filling the void left by his inability to have his own. Hired as a manny by Dario Coppola, Valentino Syracuse’s second in command, Connor enters a world familiar yet distant from his own troubled past.

Alpha Paolo Syracuse, mob boss Valentino’s younger brother, is pressured to learn the family's illicit business. Preferring art and books to mob life, Paolo reluctantly agrees to spend time at Dario’s home, learning the ropes. There, he meets Connor, the shy and captivating new manny. Paolo has never been truly interested in an omega before. But there’s something about the enigmatic Connor that draws him in.

Connor knows better than to get emotionally entangled with anyone connected to the mobster life. But he’s lonely and Paolo is a nice distraction. Connor and Paolo start a no-strings secret affair, which is exciting at first. Then things take a dark turn when Connor, against all odds, ends up pregnant, and his violent Irish mobster family comes calling.

This is a dark romance and contains violence and graphic smexy times. If you're sensitive to either of those things this story may not be for you.

straddled the line between fun and an absolute slog and im more inclined to call it a bore than anything else.

ik i said protect badly written omegaverse but i was in a much better mood at the time i guess. so many lines in this pissed me off and we were in fact playing crimes against the historically oppressed whites why did one of the characters say i dont hate u bc ur irish. girl is this the 1800s. i sure hope u don't?? esp considering YOURE italian??? like? and the mpreg did in fact made me mad how did paolo's magic dick cured connor's infertility......i hate plots like that. it's like so insensitive to how ACTUAL infertility works plus and i cannot say this enough, no more mpreg give that bitch mpostpartum depression!!!!! chemistry + connection ZERO and the fated mates plot was so construed they just said that to say it. paolo in the beginning of this pissed me off he sounds like a real man "omegas normally throw themselves at me...connor didn't..im intrigued" give me a BREAK i wanted to call him spineless at least once. connor in the END pissed me off bc he lost the backbone that i was actually pleasantly surprised about in the beginning!!! like whatever. getting dickmatized is real everyone please stay safe out there.

we should also stop making omegaverse romance books completely serious. have a little fun because otherwise you end up being the biggest bore around. basically i think im finding out i have enough opinions about omegaverse where i could feasibly write my own. and it Would be better than the shit i read. but also i need to get my degree so don't hold y'all's breath.

There will be suspense, betrayal, death, darkness, secrets reveled, violence, hope, forgiveness, and maybe even love along the way!

He accepted a job working with Dario Coppola, second in command to the mafia boss the very world he worked so hard to walk away from and yet here he is back in that world with no exist strategy and an attraction which he shouldn’t have. Paolo is the younger brother to the mob boss Valentino he loves art, literature, being around pretty things wants nothing to do with the family business although, the moment he meets Connor something within both of them shifts and starting out as friends that leads to so much more. The have gotten themselves into something neither wants to walk away from especially with an accidental pregnancy throw in his Irish family finding him causing trouble will Paolo keep him protected, will he want the baby, will his family leave him be, will Paolo’s older brother accept him as part of the family, and can these two have their very own happiness and much needed peace from it all?

Connor Murphy, an Omega, escaped his dangerous Irish mobster family a, reinventing himself as Connor Smith and finding solace as a manny caring for children. His job leads him into the world of Dario Coppola, second in command to mob boss Valentino Syracuse, exposing him once again to the criminal underworld he sought to leave behind. Paolo Syracuse, Valentino's younger brother with a passion for art and literature, reluctantly steps into the family's criminal enterprise. When he meets Connor, hired as a manny by Dario, Paolo is captivated by the enigmatic Omega, unlike anyone he's encountered before. Despite Connor's hesitations about getting involved with someone tied to the mob, he and Paolo begin a secretive relationship, initially without emotional commitments. However, their affair takes a dramatic turn when Connor unexpectedly becomes pregnant, defying all expectations. As Connor's violent Irish mobster family resurfaces, their clandestine romance and Connor's pregnancy become endangered. Omega in Hiding is the third book in the Mafia Romance series and I enjoyed it.

Caught between his newfound love and perilous past, Connor navigates a precarious path where love, loyalty, and familial ties collide, forcing him to confront difficult choices that could change his life forever.

Not all mafia men are mean, malicious, malevelant or maligning. Connor, grew up as the omega son in the Irish mafia. He is unable to have children which lessens his value to his family. His family the Murphy's make their money in human trafficking and prostitution. Connor disagrees with his family's values, he is violence averse. After hearing the heinous solution his family plans for him, he runs away changing his name. Ironically, he gets a job as a manny working for Dario the 2nd in command of an Italian mob family and his omega mate, Alessio. Paolo, is a younger son in the Italian mafia. He is all violence torture and killing averse. He loves art and everything not mafia related. Then Paolo is sent to learn a part of the business from Alessio. He meets Connor and everything changes for both men. They enter into circumstances neither expected and everything they thought they knew, is debunked. Their lives cross with their families and old enemies make an appearance. Very exciting, decisions made, values updated, good action and adventure. Well done!

Being told he was barren all his life, omega Conrad dreams of having an alpha want him in spite of never having children. Coming from a violent Irish mafia family is something else Conned hates. When the omegas are killed that he tried to help escape from his Da’s breeding program, Conned runs when his brother and father threaten him too.

For six years he’s ran, changing his name and has a job as a nanny. It’s his only way to be near babies. Being assigned to the second in command of the Italian mafia isn’t easy since both mobs are at war with each other. But Conner (his new name) is needed. Meeting Paolo is unexpected but both feel a strange draw towards each other. Soon they’re meeting in secret. But Conner’s past is catching up with him and he leaves without a word.

But you can’t stop true love or fated mates. And Paolo will do anything to keep Conner safe and his unborn baby!

Sweet, exciting and adorable!.

I really loved the other two books of this mafia Omegaverse by Beau Brown, but honestly, this one will have to be my favorite. As someone who struggles with infertility issues, it was refreshing to read about an Omega who wanted kids but was told that they couldn’t have them. That they were less than because of it. It was something i had been told in the past and the thought process that Connor goes through really hit home. I loved the relationship between Connor and Paolo as they fought their attraction for each other, knowing full well that no one would be happy due to their status’ in life. Watching Paolo and Connor get their happily ever after was really awesome and I’m really sad to leave this book behind. Seeing past characters like Nico was always a blast and I’m reminded why I loved him so much from the first book. Over all just really enjoyed this and I hope Beau adds onto the world.

'I whimper, realizing there’s no going back now.
Paolo is taking what he wants.
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.'

I loved this book. Great world building and wonderful characters. I loved the story- it had danger and excitement. I loved both Connor and Paolo. Both born into mafia families but not quite fitting in to them. It was ironic that Connor ran from his Irish mafia family, changed his name, only to find himself working for an Italian mafia family. I enjoyed the relationship that developed between the two, and their chemistry sizzled. But Connor could only keep his secrets of his family for so long, and not everyone wants these two to get together. But when Paolo learns the truth, will he still want him and fight for them? Would Dario still oppose? I couldn't wait to see what would happen. I also liked the supporting characters, of course. 5 stars

Connor Smith, nee Conrad Murphy, has been on the run for six years. The night his Irish mob father and brother announced they had agreed to marry him off to John Hoolahan to merge their two mobs so they could compete with the Italian mafia. Too save his life, Conrad knew he had to flee and reinvent himself.
Rebranded as Connor, he fills the empty place in his heart and becomes a manny. Too his horror, he finds his newest client to be the second in command of the Syracuse mafia. Paolo is the brother of the mafia don and is in training to learn to run the docks. When the Irish mob attempt to assonate Paolo it's time for Connor to run again.
This time not only is his family looking for him Paolo is too. Throw in another alpha that's all too interested in Connor and an unexpected pregnancy and Connor is running out of places to hide.

Arc received from Booksprout

The story is great written. Good storyline. The book is easy to read and understand. I love that Connor can fight and doesn't need someone's protection. I really hate his family, the way they act and towards Connor. He deserves so much better. I can't imagine his mother falling in love with a monster like his father.

I love his interaction with the other couples from book 1 and 2.
I think the story is easy to understand whitout reading the other books, but I'm so interested in the story between Dario and Alessio that i'm going to read the second one.
Connor's interactions with Paolo were funny in the beginning.
I love them together. Some miscommunication and hurtful moments between them, but they are perfect for one another.

The main characters in this third book of a mafia romance series are Connor, an omega who escaped his Irish mob family, and Paolo, the alpha younger brother of Valentino, the Italian mob boss. Connor and Paolo are instantly attracted to each other after their first meeting. This mpreg story includes issues of infertility, secret relationship, gang rivalry, surprise pregnancy and fated mates.
I really enjoyed seeing Connor and Paolo fight for their love. The excellent extended pregnancy and natural birth scenes added depth and warm feelings to this story.
The appearance of past characters from the earlier two books, helped to give a strong sense of a growing found family.
I'm looking forward to more!

Such an amazing read! I had been looking for more mafia mm Mpreg romances. There aren’t as many as I thought, so I was so happy to get to read Connor and Paolo’s story. There were enough twists and turns to make me anxious throughout the book and it made me happy it wasn’t a straightforward romance. They had to fight for their relationship. I didn’t read the first two in the series but now I want to so I can see the other couples’ stories. I highly recommend this book if you love Mpreg, mafia romances, and of course mm romance. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more from this author!

I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Book 3 and it was good. This mafia romance had me hooked from start with the prologue. A lot of violence but not as brutal as the first two in the series... just the right amount of angst that kept it a page turner. So many lies and secrets...Connor started off trying to contain his cover but he couldn't stay hidden for long. It was nice to see that him and Paulo had that instant connection and they had to fight to keep it until the very end. They had a sweet ending with secrets still. That's the mafia life...LOL.

Wow, what a fantastic read! My search for further mafia mm Mpreg romances has been fruitless. Connor and Paolo's story was a pleasant surprise because there aren't many like that. Since it wasn't a simple romance, I was relieved that there were enough unexpected turns to keep me on the edge of my seat throughout the novel. Relationship preservation was an uphill battle. After reading this, I really want to read the first two books in the series to find out what happens to the other couples. This novel is a must-read for fans of Mpreg, mafia romances, and mm romances in general. I can't wait for the author to write more books like this one.

I liked that Paolo wasn't the typical macho "you do things my way" type of mafia guy. So it made him a lot more likable. Unlike Dario who was in the story way too much. I haven't read the earlier books so I found it it very hard to like Dario. I hated how he was so agressive and judgmental towards Connor. Valentino wasn't in the story much but he gave Connor similar treatments. Based on their obtuse behavior I'm not inclined to read the earlier books. If I did, it'd be for their omegas.

Connor ran away from his family who is extremely emotionally and physically abusive. After 6 years of hiding and being a Manny the unexpectedly Falls for Paolo. But after an incident in the park and him saving his life he decides to pack up his bags and run. Because nobody knows who he truly is and if they find out his life would be in danger. I really enjoyed this book it hit every emotion.

Wanting to be away from the mafia world, Connor assumed a new identity and working as manny. Little did he expect his chosen career to inevitably bring him back into a different mafia household.
When he meets Paolo at his new place of employment, the attraction is undeniable and the consequences of their relationship bring unexpected surprises, danger and Connor’s family back into his life.

An entertaining mpreg, mafia read with elements of danger, violence and a hard fought for HEA.

Okay, so I'm def going to check out books 1 & 2 now.

This was incredibly angsty and dramatic (loved every second of it, don't have a single complaint). I'm glad I got to experience this series by reading the 3rd novel first, especially with such interesting familial dynamics. I'm looking forward to reading more of Brown's works!!

Omegaverse x Irish men x Italian men x Mafioso?!

Connor has such a big heart. I liked that he set aside his fears to help Alessio and Dario. Paolo isn't sure what to do with an omega that doesn't throw themself at him. His bruised ego takes a bit to heal but once he gets Connor to commit they're solid. I was impressed that both men stood up to Valentino and Dario. I loved the sweet ending.
Highly recommended author

Another great story from Beau and I really enjoyed reading this one. Connor is on the run and in hiding from his Irish Mafia family and then he meets Paolo, Valentino's brother and things heat up between the 2 the storyline is really good involving the others from previous books. A definite must read of the first 3 books to really enjoy this series.

Connor ran away from his mafia family at eighteen and for six years he's been living his life the way he wanted to as a manny. Then things change when he gets hired by a mafia couple who really needs his help. He also meet Paolo, the brother of the head of the Italian Mafia. He knows he should keep his distance from Paolo but can't seem to help himself.

This is the third and I think the best in the series. So much happens in this story that I couldn't put it down. A really good read
I really liked Connor and I was hoping things would work out for him and Paulo. They make a great couple.

Not great

A lot of words without much being said or developed. The omega MC is cool but again, poorly developed. The alpha MC is beyond lame. He's 24 but acts 16, that'd be fine if he grew up at all through the story but he doesn't. Not worth the word count.

I really liked this book. The fact that Paolo wasn't as viscous as his brother was a big plus for me. I did think the love story progressed a bit fast but still it was entertaining and I enjoyed it.
