Brutal Mates
I planned to keep my head down after joining my new pack. Instead, I found myself caught between two powerful alphas bound by a fragile truce.
Alphas were moody, brutal, and ruthless, and these two were no exception. I shouldn’t want them, especially since they belonged to other she-wolves.
Not that it mattered. They’d never choose someone defective like me.
But then jealousy sparked my shift—leaving me with two infuriating mates intent on making me submit.
Call it petty, but I wasn’t going down without a fight—or a little payback.

ARC provided by the author. This review reflects my honest thoughts.
This was a fast-paced shifter romance where the heroine and her mates don’t realize their connection at first but once they do, things heat up quickly! I really enjoyed this one. The scenes were hot, and the plot moved along at a good pace. This is the third book in the series and I’ll definitely be picking up the next one when it comes out!
If I had one critique, it would be the pacing. Sometimes the descriptions were perfect, giving just the right amount of detail, but other times things moved a little too fast with not enough depth. That’s really the only downside for me, though. Overall, a great read especially if you are in the mood for some sexy action while the hero is mid-shift ;)

The guys kind of suck...
Essentially the fmc isn't good enough for them.. until she is an omega. Then all the "bad" parts of her don't matter enough to stop them from claiming her.
They do NOT grovel enough. She just kind of gives in, and lets her omega instincts take over to take care of THEM. Calm THEM. And of COURSE they are MORE than willing to take care of her... sexually.
One of them is only willing to keep her as his mistress, because she wasn't good enough to be Luna. Until she became an omega of course.
While the other had a one track mind on revenge and saw her as just "defective."
One of them also calls her a whore at some point but that's fine too I guess. She forgives is right away because they her alphas I guess?
This a perfect example of what NOT to do when there are soul mates. They are being controlled by their instincts and the female deserves so much better.

Hot, possessive, loving and of course brutal that are the mates in this book.
Loved everything about this omegaverse book. Really great characters.
Violet is on the run from her old pack. She is seeking refuge in a new pack.
But how lucky can a girl get? She is very attracted to the pack’s Alpha, who is going to take a chosen mate. Not to make matters worse violet is also extremely attracted to the brother to the Luna to be.
OMG we are in for a ride and I enjoyed it all the way.❤️

Although I only gave this 2 stars, I want to sincerely say it's not because it's bad writing as much as it's the same formula with a different author. "Fated mates, weak FMC escaping a bad male just to allow another male (or two) to act the same way, but it's ok because they're fated and would kill for her... All hail the Luna." Meanwhile, I'm just begging for something outside of the obvious.

This book somehow moved so fast yet gave so much detail. I loved the three main characters and the conflict that started out at the start with two rival packs, and both having their own female interests.
The FMC annoyed me at parts, where she kept getting mad at events and situations but if it was flipped she wasn't in the wrong. But at the same time I do understand, she is learning and trying to accept and learn what she is. Also one of the OW just flipped and was fine with everything, and although there was an explanation at the end, it wasn't enough TBH.

3.5 stars
I really wanted to love this story, but I was not feeling the FMC. Violet is on the run from her old pack and was accepted into Graham's pack. Normally I'm all for fated mates/omega stories but Violet was the cause of her own misery and because of her I really didn't enjoy this book as much as I have enjoyed the other stories.
In my opinion Violet was the reason for her own unhappiness. She joins a pack and finds herself attracted to the Alpha of the pack and was constantly throwing herself at him like a dog in heat simply because she didn't truly understand her nature which was somewhat understandable being that she was a shifter without a wolf or so she thought. Then once she finds out that he is choosing a mate help strengthen his Pack she becomes jealous and petty towards him but was still always placing herself in compromising positions with him.
Factor in Alpha #2 Simon whose Pack is residing with Graham's pack. Simon is cruel, ruthless and not a great Alpha to his own Pack who fears him more than respect him. When he cross paths with Violet she does the exact same thing and once again she gets upset when she realizes that he is involved with another woman.
Everything comes to a head during Graham's Mating Ceremony when Violets rage causes her first and she recognizes both Simon and Graham are her mates and that she is an Omega.
Both Simon and Graham are ready to claim their mate, but Violet has other plans (which made zero sense)
I just couldn't get past Violet's immaturity. She was a brat who made terrible decisions and was punishing Simon and Graham for having a life before they met her. She was truly the reason for her heartache and pain.

Brutal Mates!!!!
Run!!! And I mean RUN to go and grab this book up immediately! Allie Santos has done it again and delivered another book that will suck you into the deepest depth of the book world and will not let you up for air until you finish. This is the third book in the standalones of her Omega Heat series. With every book she wrote, I fell in love with not only the characters but the story. Each one a new guy was taking top space in number one, only to be knocked down by a new guy in the next. It went from Knox in book one to Kit in book two. Now we have book three, and yes, those two boys are next in line, and Simon has swooped in. I can't wait to see what comes next and who will take out my number guy this time!
Violet is our omega for this story. Of course, in this world, they are to be extinct, so she doesn't know at first. She has just been transferred into Grahams pack after running from her previous one. She thought she would find solace is soon disrupted when she not only meets Graham and feels a pull to him but can't explain, but she also meets Simon. A man with a plan and more secrets than Fort Knox. These two are trying to settle an old score and make an allegiance. What happens when that is by an arranged marriage of one to the others sister? What does that mean for not only Violet but for Simon and Graham when the pull is revealed as a mate bond? Will the arranged marriage go through? Will they all be together? And what happens when Simon's plans come out on this already fragile state?
Read now to find out what happens with Violet, Simon, and Graham, and the other women who may or may not go down without a fight.

Brutal Mates absolutely wrecked me — in the best way possible. From the first chapter, I felt Violet's loneliness and fierce stubbornness down to my bones. She wasn’t some meek, sweet wolf waiting to be claimed; she was cracked, raw, and angry — the kind of broken that doesn’t beg for saving but dares you to try.
The emotional tension between her and the two alphas was unbearable at times — not just because of the raw heat simmering between them, but because it felt so inevitable and impossible all at once. These alphas were brutal, possessive, and frustrating beyond words… and somehow, you understand why she wants them even when she knows she shouldn’t.
What really dragged me under, though, was the slow burn of jealousy and power and belonging — watching her fight back, clawing for control of her life when everyone else saw her as broken. Every confrontation crackled with danger and desire. Every small moment of vulnerability felt like an earthquake.
By the end, I didn’t just root for her — I ached for her. And the payoff when the mates finally turn from enemies to something more? Utterly devastating in the best, most satisfying way.
If you want a dark romance that doesn’t just tease you with tension but grinds you through it — leaving you bleeding, furious, and hopelessly addicted — this is the book to lose yourself in.
I received this amazing book as an ARC and I'm obsessed with it! 🥵

Looking for a shifter Omegaverse series? Look no further than Omega Heat by Allie Santos!
Whew. Two rival packs, one fated omega. Learning to work together to make damn sure their omega mate has everything she needs.
Brutal Mates is chock full of alpha energy and the sheltered omega who might be able to prevent an all-out war between the packs.
There's OW drama. There's brutal fighting and hurt/comfort. This book from start to finish will take you on a ride!
Thank you to Allie for the ARC!

Allie Santos has done it again with another strong FMC and two hot possessive MMC’s
As a huge fan of omega verse books and shifter romance this was top tier for me!
The excruciating slow burn between Violet and her two alphas was close to unbearable but so delicious at the same time!
Watching violet go from a lonely FMC to the strong woman taking charge of her own life was a sight to behold!
Did we mention the spice yet ?! 🥵
Add this to your TBR ASAP

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC and based on the synopsis I couldn’t wait to read it. This story definitely didn’t disappoint.
Our FMC Violet is on the run from her old pack and seeks protection from Beaumont pack. Unfortunately the quiet life Violet is wanting is short lived when she catches the eye of not only the pack Alpha Graham, but also his rival, Alpha Simon. This story is fast paced, full of pining, betrayal, miscommunication and heat.

This is a fast burn fated mates story. The story gets interesting when there are two alphas. Violet has left one pack and joined another. She is immediately drawn to Graham and Simon, who don't know what to think of her or their feelings. This is a quick read with lots of spice. i definitely recommend this book!
April 27, 2025
Whew! This book felt like it was nonstop for the FMC. The poor girl is just trying to find a place to live and stay out of the limelight but that is not in the cards for her.
Another excellent shifter read! I love both Alpha's and how much she made them grovel.
Definitely an angtsy read but it was so good!

This story moves quickly and was overall enjoyable
There was action, drama, a few emotional moments, and lots of spice.
I really liked Graham and Simon. I was happy to see the growth in Simon's character.
I'll be honest, I wasn't Violet's biggest fan. As the book goes on, I liked her more. The MMCs were probably my favorite though.

A girl stuck between two hot and possessive enemies - yes please!
Violet is seeking safety in a new pack and finds herself tangled up with two alphas - secrets are uncovered and long lost abilities are awakened as these three clash in the ultimate play for power.
I will devour anything Allie writes - I'm forever in awe of her stories and her skills!

I enjoyed watching my partner's reaction to my explanation of the book or reading parts out loud. However, I wanted to hear more of the storyline. I love some juicy smut. Clothes rips off so easily 😂. Very Sexy scenes, but sometimes cringe. It was a good laugh. I do wish there was more world building, but I think that's me wanting more storyline with the smut.

I usually like all of the books from Allie Santos but this one kind of dragged on. I really struggled to finish. I can typically get through a book like this in a couple of hours but this one took me weeks.
The FMC is a really weak character and it was hard to connect to her. I was less invested after she got beat up.

I almost didn't finish this book because the plot just wasn't it. The FMC, Violet, is running from her last pack and ends up being mated to her new Alpha, Graham and his neighboring pack's Alpha, Simon. She is meek, boring, and unremarkable. Graham and Simon are jealous and possessive but in the worst way possible.

What is it with these alphas? They are so boneheaded sometimes. Thinking she will be ok to just be the mistress! I like the fact when they FINALLY do the right thing one takes a step back and lets the other alpha take the lead. Another great story from Allie!
May 2, 2025
This was my first shifter romance and wow. Why Choose and her hating each other? Yes please! This was fast-paced, steamy, and packed with great characters. The angst was everything, and surprisingly, the other woman drama added to the fun instead of taking away from it.

So much angst!!
I think this was my favorite so far in this series.
Two enemy alphas with the same omega mate!? Sign me all the way up.

DNF 50%. I can’t stand the FMC, she’s too immature.
May 27, 2025
I have loved all the books in this series. This one we have two extremely over protective alphas with their mate. Lots of touch her and ☠️ vibes. Oh and tons of spicy scenes with her and her mates.
June 15, 2025
another great story
Another great book by Allie Santos . I will read anything she writes! Just the right amount of spice and angst.

uff, not for me. I hate one of the MMC, they both sucked and had no redeeming qualities. If they were not fated mates, they would not be all together at all. Also the whole third form was too much...
August 31, 2025
This is a different take on fated mates that I couldn’t put down! If you are looking for a little more rough werewolf like shifter this is for you
