The Hunted Omegas #3

Fated to the Warrior Wolf

Rate this book
Houston, this was not part of the plan. Not even a little tiny bit. He's not my fated mate, yet here I am, pregnant regardless.

Leigh
It's not supposed to be possible, but I guess when your BFF is some sort of unicorn wolf with special powers, things tend to get a bit wonky. But that's not really the point. The point is I'm super duper for sure pregnant, and he's pissed off, growly, and grumpy as hell.

Oh, and he found out by accident. While I was telling his best friend. And puking, loudly. Huzzah for morning sickness, yo.

And . . . he didn't seem thrilled. Not loving the trajectory, here. But I'll protect my tiny, perfect Petal. Even from her own father if I have to.

Gael
Am I still breathing? I'm not really sure. Because a one night stand isn't supposed to come with these sorts of consequences. I mean, sure, if we were human. But wolves? It's not that easy. There are signs.

But despite the utter lack of a starter pistol announcing that we were a go, the four pregnancy tests laid out on her bathroom counter don't lie. I'm going to be a dad. Pretty sure my face is about to melt off with the shock.

She and I are like oil and water. Fire and gasoline? Yeah, that one. It's not because I don't like her. Hell, I can't stop thinking about her. The problem is she knows how to push every last one of my buttons, and she's determined to slam the door in my face.

But I'm not the kind of guy to take no for an answer, not when the woman I'm crazy about and my baby are on the line. We might not have mate signs—yet—but I know she's the one for me. Now I just have to prove that I can be the one for her, too.

That can't be too difficult, right?

This is my least favorite of the series, which is a bummer because I really like the series. Both the FMC and MMC had trouble with healthy communication and it got really annoying, mostly because of Leigh (the FMC). I don’t enjoy it when a character refuses to communicate with their romantic interest to protect their heart. I almost DNF’d and if I hadn’t already been invested in the series, I would have. The overarching story is great, but this particular romance was not it for me. I’ll still read the next book though.

This was a DNF for me at 70%

I’ve read the first two books in the series and enjoyed them well enough. I really tried to push through and hate DNFing books, but this was intolerable. If at 70% you’re still playing the back and forth game with no resolution in sight- I’m out. I was really looking forward to this book not only for the couple, but to finally get answers to some questions- like why is Shay part fae, will they turn back the Omega rule, will Bri break her curse- literally NOTHING was answered. You’re dragging readers on with stories from previous books and that isn’t fair IMO. Leigh was insufferable and the whole enemies to lovers with Gale was not it. She literally liked him when it was convenient or someone else wanted him. Don’t think I’ll be continuing the series.

A slow burn with lots of banter and heart felt moments.

LOTS OF ANGST

And now normally people aren’t a fan of pregnancy tropes, and I think that’s why a lot of people didn’t rate this one highly. But personally I didn’t mind.

There’s just the protectress from a guy to their baby mama that just gets me going okay?

.. okay that was like the weirdest statement I’ve made on here but yk what can you do.

I liked this one, and I’m really excited for the next one. (Which I think I’ve said for every review so far in this series)

But I’m really hoping to see more from the other characters, I want more moments from the past lovers. Their were a few in here, but I want ✨more✨

I’m greedy ik💋💋

What I liked:
Gael and Leigh finally getting together. I did really like a fated made storyline that was not Insta love, and they actually really had to work at it which is unique especially for shifter or omegaverse books. I loved nugget. I always love when there’s a random, cute pet that shows up in a book. And as always I love the sisterhood between the girls and the addition of Olivia to the circle.

What I don’t like:
I feel like after three books I should be more interested in the ODL stuff going on, but I just don’t care that much about it. It felt like a much bigger part of this book than the first 2 and I wanted more Gael and Leigh and less ODL drama. I think my issue with it is that we barely see the omega powers, but we see a lot of the political drama around it. This book had the opportunity to show a lot more of the development of the omega powers and didn’t and I think it would’ve been really cool if we saw that part of it. Kari’s brought up how Brielle’s mom needed to get the cursed place because the omega powers grew too strong during her pregnancy but we really don’t see anything for Leigh.

The OW drama was just dumb. Like so stupid. Pointless. Wasted valuable pages on pointless drama.

I DNF’d I’m sorry

Book 1 I really liked.
Book 2 was eh - felt like it was too much ODL and not enough on the couple. But I liked dirge and Shay- they had some good chemistry.

Okay now we get to Leigh ….. good lord.
I barely really tolerated her personality in the first 2 books - I don’t think she was this super strong women- in fact I thought she was pretty insecure and is really mean to other people due to her own insecurities.
Her hatred to Gael made zero fucking sense? He was always trying to protect her - he’s just the broody type ( which is fine)
But she was so damn fucking mean but for what?? It didn’t add to the plot - if anything I hated her more and more as she kept yapping away with her stupid ass mouth.

A strong FMC would be able to handle convos without spitting fire back at the literal father of their child.
Get a fucking grip Leigh.

Moving along

I had thought this was going to be my favorite, but towards the end, I'd really gotten tired of Leigh. I mean, she went three weeks without talking to Gael. And she treated him so poorly. I was happy the first time she realized her nonsense was awful, but it didn't stop her from only thinking about herself for the rest of the read. This was the first book in the series where I didn't think that the couple belonged together. I really liked Gaels letters, but i thought that Leigh decided to read them too late. Gael didn't seem like the type to allow all of the games. She claimed him when someone else wanted him and then dumped him right after. That was awful, I was expecting Gael to let her know how her games felt and that he wouldn't play them anymore, and she could make her own decision and stick to it. The back and forth went on a little too long, I think, because I lost the connection between them.
Also, Petal and Poppy? Why???? They sound like a name you'd give a pet, not a child.
I still like the overall plot, and I'll pick up the next one.

yall i gotta dnf this at 70% and seeing that number is painful but so was reading this book. i HATED our fmc, i already didn’t like her in the other books but i swear she is 10x worse here with her stubborn obnoxious wishy washy attitude. our mmc was also annoying and kinda bland but lowkey deserved better. also unplanned pregnancy… yikes! how am i on book three and STILL getting bogged down by the same damn plot lines from book one?? like this one had so much more politics in it and was like 100+ pages too long. it read soooooo slow dude like i cannot drag this into a fifth day. not even my unanswered questions could keep me here and i need to end my suffering. thus ends my werewolf romances for now. 2 stars is generous.

Ay este libro me gustó mucho, creo que los tres ha sido el que más me ha gustado, pero eso sí, siento que algunas veces las actitudes de la protagonista me chocaban un poco con sus acciones porque no coordinaban, o sea sus palabras no concordaban con sus acciones, mejor dicho.

Pero dentro de lo que cabe Super bien, y espero con ansias el próximo libro, eso sí, sigue sin gustarme, que no me den un epílogo real para cada pareja protagonista.

Powerful couple fighting a pull to each other as they faced outside struggles. Really enjoyed the story of Leigh and Gael. This series is getting really interesting. The storyline flows at a quick pace. The back and forth between Leigh and Gael seemed a bit drawn out, but I liked where their story ended.

I was lucky enough to be sent an ARC of this book and let me tell you - it was amazing! I absolutely love Gael & Leigh's story and their character/relationship growth that we see first hand throughout this book. Add on the pregnancy trope that was handled wonderfully to add depth to the overall story. I think April did a fantastic job helping us readers to understand the complexity of Leigh & Gael's emotions and backgrounds and watching them learn to communicate and understand each other was really beautiful. We also get a sneak peek into Reed and his upcoming story and this little tid-bit has be salivating for more! I hate that we have to wait for the next book but I absolutely devoured and enjoyed every second of Leigh and Gael and their relationship through this book! Thank you April for the chance to read it early through the ARC and for creating this incredible world and these complex characters that I've fallen in love with! Can't wait for the next book!

Because I’m so excited for this book! This series is great and Leigh is going to tie it all up with a bow.

The stars are also to counteract the jerks bringing the rating down for a book they haven’t read yet. Seriously? You just don’t get it.

Leigh got on my nerves so much I DNF'd this book faster than I honestly expected, she didn't deserve her mate, but honestly both were annoying. If this is the rest of the series, I can't continue.

This is driving me ABSOLUTELY crazy. I can not stand Leigh. UGH

Okay. To be fair, she gets better as the book goes on........

So, finally finished this and let's just say that this was not my favorite book of the series. But, I did like the fact that the over- arching plotline of the series does move forward and it is getting very interesting.

This book features FMC Leigh and MMC Gaul and the premise is that Leigh and Gaul get along like oil and water, but they have a one night stand. The one night stand results in a very unusual pregnancy (because pregnancy in wolves only happens between mated pairs when the female is in heat) and of course, that wasn't the case with our MC's. Most of this book is Leigh treating Gaul like crap and it really does get old.

But, in other parts, we get some interesting movement in the Omega storyline and that kept me interested.

One thing I do want to mention is that there was a new male narrator for this book (the first 2 books were narrated by Stella Rose and Jack Hesperus). This book was narrated by Stella Rose and Xander Marceaux. For whatever reason, Xander just did not work for me as the male narrator. His voice just did not fit my impression of an alpha wolf. That is just a personal opinion, but it is very rare that I comment on the narration because it usually isn't something that bothers me. I did peek at the next couple of books and it looks like Xander is going to be the male narrator going forward so I just need to get over it.

I am looking forward to getting Reed's story. He is up next......

loving it !

I love these interconnected standalones that also keep the underlying story from book 1 going !!
Leigh & Gael. Lol this is one of my favorites so far. They are both feisty, after their one amazing night. It just keeps getting better with how much they fight but when they finally give in to the mating bond !! Yay.
Brielle has some more going on that we are getting clarity on !! With all her powers and her being an omega !!
Cannot wait to see what happens next !

I enjoyed the third book though it was very up and down like the main characters relationship. I think Leigh is spicy and Gael fiery which means it keeps things interesting. If you enjoyed the first two books, I recommend you continue with the series. I’m excited for the next book as well. I enjoy April’s writing style and how easily you can get sucked in.

I absolutely devoured this book! I loved reading Leigh and Gael’s story. I also enjoyed the catching up with their pack and continuing the story arc from the previous books in this series. The pacing of the book was perfect and it was a fun read. I love the friendship between Leigh, Shay and Brielle and it was nice seeing how Olivia fit in with that. I enjoyed learning more about Gael and his background plus seeing the way Gael and Leigh grew individually and as a couple.

Besides landing in Romania and bonding nothing else has happened I’m not even exaggerating. This was very bad. They needed to cut at least 150 to maybe even 200 pages.
The whole back and forth thing was incredibly stupid. The guy liked her the whole time yet she is twisting these situations in such a way that it agrees with her insecurities.

I get trust issues but come on they are obviously in love. Why would you choose to be sad and miserable and humiliated? We all want happiness we all want to be happy and loved so why after everything that happened between the two of them is she still CHOOSING to misinterpret this situation? It feels like these weird depri kids at school that would brag how hard their life is and how bad their circumstances are like this is not a competition? Why is this dumb girl choosing to understand wrong ? Getting like angry I would understand like tf why did you not tell me but saying shit like “oh it was a lies” and “he never loved me and I was always the other woman” no?!

Mayor problem are the receptions. It is like the author does not trust their readers to A remember their very simple goals and motives and B understand how human feel and why they act the way they do

Leigh was my favorite side character in the previous books, but she was so unlikable in this book. I was very disappointed. I think the author had been trying to do an enemies to lovers thing, but it didn't really work. The problem was, Gael did not deserve Leigh's vitriol. At most he was a little bossy, but it was always in situations where he was trying to protect people.

So the whole book is Leigh being unnecessarily mean to Gael or giving him the silent treatment for days and weeks over really small things. It really made me detest her.

At about 80% the book introduces a really good reason to keep the two apart. It would have been SO much better if that had been the central conflict of the book.

This book also has the issue that so much of the conflict revolves around the main characters from the first book. So it makes Leigh and Gael seem kind of like background characters in their own story.

I was really disappointed in this part of the series.

Spoiler Free Summary:
In the third book of the series the characters focus on Gael and Leigh's story. Everyone is in Europe and we find out more background about Gael, Omega status, and of course Leigh. This book was the same thing which was Leigh and Gael argue/have a moment then make up OR someone attacking the friend group.

Feels
I felt that this book could have been cut shorter or had more of a variety of events. In a previous review another reader stated that at 80ish% of the book is where the book flatlined and I couldn't have agreed more. The spice was the same as the other books.

Spice 3/5

3.5-4*

This series keeps getting better and better! The author definitely improved a lot from the first book and I’m totally here for it. However, I’m really mad at myself for not realizing at first that this series was ongoing, I really thought it was a finished trilogy. It was my mistake, but I really enjoyed the series so far, it has a great world building and the story arc between the installments is really interesting and completely enthralling.
I will be honest and say that this was my favorite couple, because I can’t resist a “enemies to lovers” storyline. They were at each other’s throats from the first book and I knew they would be fire together. I was not expecting to play out the way it did and I was honestly surprised by the slight plot twist, but it only made it more enjoyable. The heroine was strong and knew what she deserved. The hero had his issues, but he found a way to redeem himself.
Overall, I think this is a great series for a new author. I’m amazed at how she managed to make everything better from the first installment. I love seeing authors improving their craft throughout their books. I love romantasy books and love finding new authors to follow. I’m really glad I pick it up this book from my kindle unlimited recommendations. I’m really looking forward to see whats next on this series, unfortunately I will have to wait until may for the next book, but I think it will be totally worth it.

Fated To The Warrior Wolf is book 3 in the Hunted Omegas series, it can be read as a standalone but for full enjoyment I highly recommend reading these in order. I am really enjoying this series and loving that the conflict keeps progressing from book to book. This one was action packed, super fast paced and kept me on my toes.

Leigh & Gael were sometimes insufferable, both so stubborn and there was a lot of back and forth between them. That might be my only negative aspect regarding this book, I felt that it was a little drawn out. The author did a good job in making us understand why they were how they were with each other though. With that said, the rest of the storyline was so good, I loved learning more about the Omegas, the curse, the whole functioning of the shifters and the pack. Also, by the end I loved that we saw the growth in their relationship and individually.

Overall, this was another entertaining installment in the series. It is highly addictive and bingeable, I cannot wait to read the next book.

I have been waiting quite impatiently to continue this series so I just grabbed this off Kindle Unlimited today and binged it on release day! Leigh and Gael's story stands out quite nicely from the previous two books in the series because the mate bond isn't instantaneous. However, Leigh made some decisions that I found irritating so I didn't connect with her as much as I did with Brielle and Shay, the FMCs of the previous two books. I prefer when the drama is mainly plot-based, rather than the drama being relationship-based because that's when miscommunication, assumptions, over-reactions etc all kick in.

It was still a good, easy read and the epilogue was such a good hook into Reed's story, which will be book 4. I'm excited to see that the series is continuing even beyond book 4, with a fifth book already listed too!

I was excited for this one but it’s probably my least favorite so far. I liked their banter and I found it interesting that they weren’t insta-love or even sure they were fated mates. The miscommunication trope shows up I believe no less than 4 times. It is so annoying. There was enough going on between the politics, a surprise baby, and their own pasts that I feel like making so much of the conflict revolve around a miscommunication annoying and then the letter thing could have been cute but barely got a moment.

Ngl this one was hard to get through. It was just so repetitive by the end. I despise the “strong woman” trope where the FMC is said to be sooooo incredibly strong mentally and physically but golly gee she just needs to be saved by her big hunk of a man all the time. You can’t just say she’s “so alpha” and can bench a man thrice her size but when you need to progress the plot make her completely inept. Give me a break. Please. Let me stop reading these books.

Also, I want to experience the level of joy required to do a standing backflip unprompted. I think I may need to try cocaine.

Also also, this man keeps kicking open doors? And then they can close afterwards? That’s not a bAdAsS MANly MAN thing, that’s just not how doors work lol. Apparently violence IS the answer to efficiently entering a room.

Finally, I will be reading the next one when it comes out. I can’t wait 🙂🙃🙂(me doing a standing backflip because I’m just so overjoyed at the thought)

This is book 3 in a 5 book series. Each book is the story of a different couple but interlinked.
I have loved reading the story of Leigh and Gael. The ups and downs and how they come together.
The continuation of the omegas is interesting and fun to read bring on book 4.

Oh The Drama

No surprise, I plowed through this one in a single afternoon. I love the tension, spice, politics, and (mostly self-inflicted) drama. I'm curious to see how Olivia fits into the pack, and I can't wait to learn more about the maidens.
