Quarantine Omega #6

Desperate Omega

Rate this book
First they'll make me beg for mercy.
Then they'll make me beg for more.


I never asked for this. Never asked to be an omega. Never asked to go into heat. But my heat is coming, whether I want it or not, and soon my scent will draw the alphas in like wolves to prey.

I had a plan. I thought I could deal with the urges on my own.

I was wrong.

There's only one cure for the fever that's burning inside me, and only the alphas can give it to me. Now they're coming for me. Coming to punish. Coming to share. Coming to mark me as their mate.

And when they finally find me, I'll be the one coming for them...

Over and over again.

Desperate Omega is a standalone romance featuring three dominant alphas, one defiant omega, and an HEA guaranteed. It is the sixth entry in the Quarantine Omega series, but it takes place chronologically between books 4 and 5.

The sixth book in this series. Though this story takes place between books 4 and 5.. You don't really need to read the books in order, to understand this one. But, if you haven't read books 1-5 yet, get to it. This series is AMAZING
🤩🤩🤩🤩

This one was first and foremost a hilariously written tale of Syra, our Omega. A very sweet, but at many times dangerous coming of age story regarding her own personal journey into the woman she thought she wanted to be and the woman she was destined to be.

I love how this story has all the feels of this world I've come to know and love with books 1-5, but that it also has a very refreshing, unique, and at times, hilarious take on life circumstances.. Murphy's Law definitely rings true here. When what could possibly go wrong, actually does🤣🤣🤣

You'll see. MANY 😂 moments here. I promise. 🤭

But plenty of heart. Heat 🔥, Love, action and sacrifice.

I love all the Alphas here. Markus is just special to me😍.. Brik impressed me💯... But Thorus our head Alpha of his Pack, gets all my love and reverence. Dude is just bad🥵🥵🥰🥰❤🖤

This was a beautiful tale. I loved every moment of it. I highly recommend this read.
This series.✌️

Lizzy B, THANK YOU for this awesome gift read. 🤗💛

Desperate Omega was everything I’ve come to love about Lizzy’s Omegaverse stories. A strong, tenacious and loyal Omega that pushes against the constraints of her nature and what’s expected. Alphas that prove to their mate that she’s perfect the way she is and allow their Omega to thrive in their dynamic without stripping her of her individuality.

Syra has never wanted to be dominated and owned but when she finds herself in her first heat and among dangerous foes, a blast from the past comes to save her. Marcus has watched the woman that has entranced him and when he saves her from certain death they stumble upon another smaller pack.

Thorus and Brik never expected to find happiness but Syra is most definitely their mate and Marcus will be their third. Even through all the danger, Syra knows what’s best for her and she’s ultimately the one that holds the power.

“I need you,” I tell him. “And Thorus. And Brik. I need you to help free them from their chains, then I need the three of you to fuck me, and I don’t want you to stop fucking me until you run out of seed.”


Listen, this was HOT with plenty of action. I was so entertained and I loved each character for their unique personalities. Syra for her strong yet submissive nature, Thorus for his dominant leadership, Brik for his savage love and Marcus for his softness. They just worked. I loved this story and I love Lizzy’s writing.

”As long as I am with them, I fear I am doomed to be in a permanent state of arousal. They are my affliction, and my cure.”


If you like Omegaverse, don’t let this one get away!

I fear i should have DNFd this one… so many odd things that happened and the dramatic change of the FMCs character did not feel right with the quickness and how she was portrayed in the first couple chapters.

And while I’m not one to care if a book is 90% smut, I was expecting more plot with the way this one started. Kinda disappointed in that one… I was also getting more shifter vibes rather than the typical omegaverse style but that’s neither here nor there

Welcome to the Zone,proceed with caution...High risk of a heatstroke!

This book fits perfectly in the series,with the same storyline and Lizzy gave it a new Pov ,a little twist in the dinamics and heat enough to burn half of the world !
An omega with the core of an alpha,wild and reckless, an unexpected heat,three alphas fated to her,add farlanders in pursuit ,a mad omega, her twisted pack and you have an Epic tale with the magical touch of Lizzy Bequin.
Absolute 5 stars!Highly recomend!

I have loved the whole series so far, and I absolutely loved this story, I love a strong female character and Syra is right up there with them. She wishes. She wasn’t an omega, but an alpha, instead. Syra and Markus are best friends, even though she is an omega and he is an alpha, the two of them are inseparable until when they are thirteen, they both sneak into the duct system of the place where the mating rituals happen, then the unthinkable happens, the floor falls out from under them and they bust through the floor and in the middle of the mating ceremony. That is the last time she sees her best friend Markus for another nine years. Her first heat has hit her nine years later, and she is taking her self out into the wilderness to deal with it herself, she soon realises that it is an impossible feat.
She meets up with another omega and her for Alpha, but they don’t treat her as she would expect to be, they are behaving like she is an enemy. She meets up with Markus, who rescues her from these five, and takes her to an old cemetery, where he hopes that she will be safe. Soon they are overcome with alphas from the farlands and this is where she meets Thorus and Brik and they rescue them, they then help her through her heat and bond to the point where they are now her mates. Danger is ahead for all of them, and they find themselves held prisoner until Markus brings more alphas from the Central Ruins. They all eventually get away and the alpha from the Farlands perish and victory is theirs. Eventually, they go back to the central ruins and have their own Mating Ritual.

A great story about Syra, who is so much more than an Omega and she sets out to prove it. She doesn't want to ever be dominated by an Alpha. But when her heat begins her body betrays her and needs the Alphas to ease it. She literally is rescued by Markus, a childhood friend she hasn't seen in years. But she is also drawn to another 2, Thorus and Brik who scout for the Central Ruins enemies, who come to her and Markus's rescue a little later.

All 3 alphas help Syra with her heat but Thorus leaves the 2 younger one's to tend to her needs while he follows the scent of the Farlanders who got away, as he knows they is more at play here with them venturing this far into the Central Ruins zone. Syra senses that Thorus is in trouble through the fledgling mate bond and persuades Brik and Markus to let her come along as she can guide them to him because of their bond. But once they reach where Thorus is held, things don't go according to plan.

Syra proves her self resourceful, stubborn, a fighter, an alpha in the feminine form. Even though she didn't want to be dominated by any alpha she finds out it's not a weakness to give up control and be loved and honoured by the alphas, who also respect and treasure her, in fact it's a strength.

Syra (h) is more alpha-like than the omega she is and when she faces her first heat, she attempts to isolate herself to manage it alone, an effort that proves futile. Her ordeal intensifies when she encounters hostile alphas and is ultimately rescued by Markus (H), her alpha best friend who has secretly watched over her for years. They retreat to a remote graveyard where Syra, in the throes of her heat, explores her rekindled feelings for Markus. Their reunion is complicated by the arrival of two more alphas, Thorus (H) and Brik (H), who join Markus in forming a protective and intimate bond with Syra. Despite her initial reluctance to submit to alpha dominance, Syra discovers strength in vulnerability and mutual respect, redefining her role within the pack. As threats from rival groups escalate, Syra and her alphas confront various dangers, showcasing their resilience and the power of their unity. Ultra-hot and steamy RH omegaverse (heat, knotting, marking)with plenty of action, danger and violence, exploring love, loyalty, survival, power dynamics, and personal freedom within the bounds of their society.

This is the last book in the Quarantine Series, and is about Syra and her three alpha mates- Brik, Markus, and Thorus.

Syra is looking for a place to ride out her heat, armed with a bag full of phallus, she finds an empty barn during a storm and tries to take care of her needs. Only to be interrupted by another omega and her alphas. Delphine and her alphas are not nice, and have evil intentions. Screwing with Syra was not in their main plan, but hey, why not. Except, unbeknownst to Syra, Delphin and the alphas-- Markus is stalking Syra and saves her at the last moment.

Markus is young and inexperienced though, and they are found by the Farlanders, but luckily Thorus and Brik are out scouting. What makes the situation more difficult is Markus and Syra are running and fighting from the Farlanders while being locked together. I knew if I read enough Omegaverse, I'd read one of those scenes. Ha ha, thrilled to find it.

The rest of the book is the four forming a pack and finding out what Delphine and her alphas are up to. Hint... it's not good.

It was an entertaining story, Thorus was my favorite. I liked the past links 2 of the three alphas had to Syra.

“The Source works in mysterious ways"

I loved this book. I couldn't put it down! Great world building and wonderful characters. The storyline is sexy and filled with danger and action. I loved all four characters- omega Syra, and alphas Markus, Thorus, and Brik. Syra was a strong female protagonist and she was determined not to be just a weak omega enslaved to her needs. I liked the bond between her and Markus. I also loved the dynamic between them all when Thorin and Brik come into the picture. And just in the nick of time! Syra and Markus were in serious trouble- it would have been a horrific outcome! I obviously knew they'd be okay because it was not even 30% into the story, but man, my heart was racing! I loved how Thorus took control in that moment and afterwards keeping the younger alphas calm and rational. Syra is determined to be independent, even if she doesn't always get there without help in some form. A fantastic read! I haven't read all the books in this series, but I definitely need to read the others. 5 stars.

The book is set in a post apocalyptic area of land near The Source, where people are either Alpha males, who bond and mate in packs, or omega females who go into heat like animals. Outside this area are the farlanders who are bizarre muted and deformed men, and farther out are the Outlanders who risk being mutated if they get too close to The Source.

Wow! This story is so hot, my Kindle is still smoking! Syra is an omega who resists her destiny to breed, having been raised by her widowed fathers to be a hunter. Strong and determined to not be dominated by alpha males, she sets out to isolate herself, only to be caught in the plot of traitors. Aid comes in the form of her childhood best friend and her savior from the past. She finds that she can still be strong, even when part of a pack. Expect a lot of sizzling, steamy scenes and a can't put it down story.

Syra isn’t your usual omega. Her three fathers brought her up to be more independent than the other omegas. When she’s 13 she and her friend Markus sneak into a mating ceremony and are caught… she’s literally caught in mid air! But she doesn’t want to be an omega and when it’s time for her heat cycle she runs away to endure it by herself. But she’s followed and captured by a cruel omega and her three mates, only for her to be rescued by Markus! After her heat starts they are attacked and run! When Brik and Thorus show up and after killing the attackers they go stay in a secret cave where the three men help Syra through the rest of her heat.

There’s more excitement when Thorus is later captured and Syra, Markus and Brik try to rescue him.

Excitement, Sex, Drama, Babies and Love! Really enjoyed reading Lizzy’s book!.

I'm still relative new reader to this genre of Alphas and Omegas but "boy, don't they pack a punch" to the world of sensuous and steamy romance! Actually it's more on the side of animalism chemistry but its so good!
I loved the character of Syra, she was such a strong, resilient and powerful Omaga that had a wonderful sense of curiosity and adventurous which made her such an interesting character to follow. Then of course her three Alphas were pretty delicious and loved the historical connections she had with them.
I thought it was a well created plot filled nicely with wonderful characters, a good balance of action, drama, emotional sequences, some extremely smouldering moments between the characters that really kept my attention from page one right through to the very end and more than anything in true fashion everyone gaining their deserved ending.

Syra has dedicated much of her life to not being the omega she is. She hunts, she explores and she is not going to be dependent on an Alpha for her heat. Or so she thinks.

I loved how the story shows how pivotal the sneaking into the mating was for these characters. I was worried about Markus after the first chapter. Loved getting to see him grown up.

The steps Markus takes to take care of Syra was moving and unexpected. He gives her so much power and control. Their group comes together so organically and the bonds form the same way.

The challenge they face only proves how much they were meant to be together.

I have devoured this series and was excited to get another trip back into it. A new adventure that fits well into the world.

This is another hit by this author who never fails to keep the reader entertained with hot and steamy times and well smut which I love even right up till the very end. Syra is an omega thats going into heat for the first time and brings every Alpha to her like a month to a flame but this is not what she wanted but has no choice when her body wants relief and that’s what only a Alpha can do.Markus has always wanted Syra and when he see’s her he knows he must save and he does and the rival band are not happy and wants her back and when the run into a small group two of the Alpha’s found the mate in Syra and now the three of them have formed a bond as they protect there mate from others that wish her harm. Brilliant book.

I do love me a good Omegaverse and have read several ones; however, this one just did not seem to do it for me. I did love the men in it but felt like the plot did not really happen into the middle of the book. I also feel like the growth of Syra and acceptance of her being an omega could have been depicted better. Although, I feel like some of my answers/gripes about the book may have been solved if I read the other books (1-5) but it was advertised as a standalone but interconnected series (which I feel like you don't really have to read the others to know what this other plot that happens towards the end - don't want to spoil anything). I could be wrong about this because what do I know...I'm not a writer and of course as a writer you want others to buy your other books so maybe that's the whole point (get your money!).

Syra is an omega in her first heat, trying to avoid the alphas hunting her. Markus was her childhood companion and an alpha who finds her and rescues her from certain death, angering a rival band of shifters.

Markus along with two other alphas form a bond with Syra and make it their mission to keep her safe from the wrath of the group trying to commit violence against her.

I feel the need to preface this by expressing that the nature of this book isn’t my cup of tea. However, it’s extremely well written and I have devoured Lizzy Bequin’s other books. Those who are really into shifter lore will enjoy it.

I received an advance reader copy from the author and booksprout, and I’m sharing my honest review.

Lizzy is the queen of RH Omega-verse and this one didn’t disappoint. We are in a post apocalyptic world where Omegas are hunted. Syra is a tomboy through and through with wishes to be an Alpha. But of course she is an omega and will never be truly free. Markus is her best friend and has been there for everything until he is taken away. Syra coming into her heat, she wants to be left alone to deal with this and is found by others, who are not so kind. This story continues through kidnap, possessive and dangerous Alphas and the need to call for more help. Will Syra find her HEA, it will take everything she has and will it be worth it in the end.

As children Syra and Marcus got into trouble together as an adult he will rescue her.
Syra was not a typical omega and acted more like an alpha getting into trouble when she was young with her alpha friend Marcus. Now adult Syra heads into the wilderness not to hunt but to find a place to get through her heat without any Alphas finding her. She shelters in an old abandoned barn but as her heat starts she is discovered by a viscious omega and her three Alphas. Just when she think they will kill her another Alpha appears and manages to get her away. She is shocked to find this large Alpha is her friend Marcus.

Though I have three of the books in this series, this is the first one I'd read. This was a spicy omega romance that was enjoyable to read. Syra was strong omega who stood on her own and determined to do it her way, but it went against the grain. Then she went into heat and turned to Markus her childhood companion and an alpha. Markus supported her and brought two more alphas, Thorus and Brik. Can they protect her from the other alphas? The story was steamy and dramatic that's set in this quarantine zone omega series. I'd found the characters likable and engaging. The guys were individuals with different tastes and desires to complement our omega. I volunteer to read and review this copy I'd received.

It had been so long since I've heard anything about the quarantine Zone I was excited to receive this book. Syra is a tomboy Omega who has no interest in mating and submitting to Alphas. Markus was the rent of his pack and her childhood friend. He had harbored feelings for her since they were kids but was sent away after they gotten into some trouble together that could have cost them their lives. Thorus is the outfit at saved her life when she came close to death from a foolish mistake. Brik is his pack made and protege. Because she takes off to try and hide and wait out her heat on her own she is yet again in a position of danger. Luckily she ends up with three strong Alphas to help save her.

I enjoyed this next book in the Quarantine Omega series. Syra is an omega raised by her three alpha fathers without her mother. They raised her to be strong and independent. Syra felt that this meant she didn't want to be mated when she went into heat, but she found out that she was wrong when circumstances put her in a precarious position during her first heat. She needs the three aplhas that help her through the heat. They also help to save their community by fighting against some of the farlanders who want to bring down their community. I liked the story, and now I think I will go back and reread the other books in the series.

Although it might seem that everything has already been written about the alphas and omegas of the Zone, I was happy to return to their world. This time, I had the opportunity to accompany Syra - a young woman with a hunter's heart who wanted to be independent and go against the tide of the accepted behavioral norms for her designation. However, everything becomes complicated when three sexy alpha males cross her path during her upcoming heat. Dear readers, there are many hot scenes waiting for you, sprinkled with a bit of danger and adventure 😉.

I'm so glad that Lizzy did another book in this series because it was an absolute joy to read.
Syria didn't want to be an Omega, she wanted to be like her father's ,and she in reality was. But when it came time for her heat she finds a place but encounters her childhood friend who saves her from others that are willing her to harm. And all this while she is in heat. Loads more happen and she finds to more mates. This is an exciting story and really worthy of Ben another fantastic read. Enjoy!!!!.

I love the Quarantine Omega series. It is such a great world, the setting, the premises. Although I have many favourites over the series, I love that the omega's are usually strong women, not the meek creatures that many omegaverse portray them.
I love this book.. Syra, the FMC, is another one of the non-standard omega's, going out hunting and generally get into trouble. Markus' dedication to her, Brik's cheekiness and my favourite silver fox Thorus.. If you not read this series.. go start..

A hot and steamy read. Syra is going in to her first heat and doesn't want any alphas to help her through it, she believes that she can take care of it by herself. She runs in to some trouble and her friend from her younger days saves her and tries to help her through her heat on his own. Trouble finds them and they are saved by Brik and Thourus. She needs them and doesn't want to need them. They have quiet an adventure. Will need cold shower after reading.

I am glad for this new book in the series, though their world has changed since the first book. I read this book from page to page, trying to get all the details.

Our FMC is a rebel and often gets herself into trouble. That trouble led her mates to her and then to their happily ever after. There were sexy times and heartstopping moments. One unforgettable part of the story is at the cemetery. I am both amused and afraid for both of them. That was quite a scene.

Now we all know (or at least we should) what a wonderful raunchy mind LBequin has. This story takes us back to the world where it all started - the post-apocalyptic world of Alphas, omegas, and the wilds in-between.

In this story, we get one sassy omega who tries her hardest to out run being an omega and all it means. But nothing is going to stop these 3 Alphas when they are on your tail. This is going to be a fun chase. Expect some steamy fun and sassy situations.
