Game On

by Bex Deveau, L.E. Eldridge

From online to IRL.

Sick of dealing with my heats solo, I finally head to a Heat Hotel for a bit of help. I'm worried my inexperience is going to be a barrier, but after meeting a certain alpha I quickly realize this could be the best few days of my life.

Even if my body knows he's someone special, anything between us is only for my heat.

I'll never see him again...

Right?

This isn't a game.

Game On is the prequel novella to Game A Knotty Gamer Omegaverse! If you like high heat, an obsessed alpha, and all the scent matching, pick it up today! And don't forget to pre-order Game Over to see how they find each other once more.

About the author

I'm a cat-mom of two, wife and spicy romance enthusiast living in Edmonton, AB. You can usually find me curled up on the sofa surrounded by a hundred pillows and reading on my kindle (or, y'know, writing.) Becoming my bestie is easy! You just need an undying love of all things sweet and be cool with watching the same five movies on repeat.

Game On is an novella starting before the main story. Fun and very spicy.

This was a SYKD download and it was cute! It’s a prequel to the next book and I definitely want to read it after reading this book!

Also it being a omegaverse is was also pushing want to read more hahahah!

I recommend if you want some short and omegaverse

[Janni (theladysparks) · Rating 4 out of 5]

going to keep this review short and sweet. i rounded up from 3.5 because this novella felt like it was unfinished and i get that it’s like a prequel novella but it should have just been included in the book. 🤷🏻‍♀️ had a fun time but without a real closure sort of end it feels super unfinished.

Game On is SO FLIPPIN H0T and left me absolutely SALIVATING for more. I’m obsessed with both characters, and to me this is the perfect intro to the Streamverse books. It delivers on spice and character development in a short time frame (66 pages) and is overall just fun afff.

Def recommend for omegaverse lovers, anyone who wants an ultra spicy palate cleanser, or peeps who are already a fan of these authors. Can’t wait to read Game Over. 😍

Genre: Adult Omegaverse
Spice: 3.5/5 🌶️
*spice ratings are relative to similar books in the same genre
(3.5/5 means this book is slightly spicier than average for the genre)

The Catalog: FM omegaverse (prequel novella for Game Over, which will eventually be MMF), cam girl omega FMC, tech/gamer MMC, body diverse alpha (tall & lanky), heat service clinic, compete strangers, heat tending, kink: good girl/good boy, power play, breeding, praise & degradation

Synopsis: Tara is 23, an omega, and has never had sex with someone. She always wanted to save her first time for someone special, not that she doesn’t take care of her needs, she is a cam girl after all. But now, her heats are unbearable so she signs up for a heat tending clinic where she meets an alpha that makes her body sing.

Thoughts:
HOLY KNOTS this was incredible!!!
I am dying for the full length book now!! I can’t wait to see how this pack is going to form!

[Sasha · Rating 4 out of 5]

"You’re gonna carry my scent for weeks. Everyone will know who you belong to.” Though she moaned, I was surprised that her hand came around my muzzle, her fingers digging into the holes in the sides, pulling me towards her. “I think you’re confused. Everyone will know what I own.” Her emphasis on that final word had my orgasm barreling towards me. “You’re right. Own me, Omega.”

Excuse me while I go change my panties.

[Gabs · Rating 5 out of 5]

“Is that what you want, alpha? To be nothing but a good little toy made for my pleasure?”

LISTEN I heard that he wears a muzzle and got this novella immediately.
Best decision ever I need the next book ASAP

There is not enough switch alpha content out there and I love that Charlie can go back and forth on being dominant or submissive with Tara.

I’m officially obsessed with omegaverses after reading this!! This was a short and spicy read I wasn’t ready for it to be over!! I’m absolutely in love with Tara and Charlie’s!! 🫠 I cannot wait for game over!!🖤

[Casually Bookish Emma · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was just what I was in the mood for - high heat, fast paced, and fun. The characters had great chemistry and I liked the setting. My only problem with the prequel was that it felt like it cut off abruptly, it felt like it was missing 15-20 pages to wrap this up.
I give this a 3.5/5 on the heat scale, with ABO dynamics, lots of toys, voyeurism, sex work, and some light sub/dom dynamics to name a couple things.

[Shelby · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was fun and super steamy and exactly what I was in the mood for. My only complaint is that it ended rather abruptly which made it feel like the novella is unfinished. This left me wanting more, so I’m super excited to read the book that comes after this!

[Nicole · Rating 4 out of 5]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Quick read that leaves you wanting more of the FMC and MMC. Great set up to lead into the next book. Interesting to see the dynamics switched between the omega and alpha designations. You don’t see that often in omegaverse books

[Britney Jean | JeanInTheHeatOfBooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

Exactly what a prequel should be — short, spicy, and leaving me desperate for more. Our cam girl FMC dives into something new during her heat, unsure of what she’s looking for… but boy does she find it.

This was an INCREDIBLY freaking hot little prequel novella. Whew. It set up a little story nicely, and I'm very excited to see where it goes. The spice was immaculate, and just, sheesh. HOT.

Game On by Bex Deveau is a short and steamy little novella about a cam girl who is fed up of self love and heads to a heat hotel to find an alpha. This story has potential but I needed more.

This is set in a heat clinic, you know why you're here.

The spice is written very well and I'm really looking forward to continuing this story

“You look like such a good little puppy,”

Now, this is a combined review. I actually started with Game Over, I am DNFing at 40%, but didn't want to leave a no stars review because I haven't finished the story, so I was like let me get Game On and finish it.

I love Tara's character. She's sex positive and in Omegaverse, the Omega is largely virginal or rejected somehow by another pack or went through some sexual trauma and largely their sexual experience is from the lense of the Alpha. In this story and where I had reached so far in Game Over, Tara is in charge.

This was a snippet/introduction/peek your interest into Game Over and it was hot but dragged in the description of this item and that item leading up to Tara+Charlie fucking.

Now, for Game Over, I loved that we are still continuing with Tara being the Top of the eventual relationship. I am however calling it quits on that book at 40% because after the triggered heat: Tara+Charlie do not come clean to Jesse that they actually had met before at the Heat Hotel, Charlie+Jesse are attracted to one another but aren't (as at that point) open about it, the guys are dick measuring over Tara's attention like she's a toy they're fighting over and finally and this I know because of another reviewer Charlie is the anonymous big spender and it's so far written as an eventual a point of contention for the pack. Oh, and the one sided heat-induced bonding and you really need to be a gamer/streamer/stream watching person/into camming to enjoy the aspects of the gaming that is then heavily described.

So, this was okay. Game Over was a mixed bag.

┈ MY THOUGHTS ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
- I was wondering what the deal with this novella was since I saw it pop up on my recommended books multiple times. The blurb wasn't all that interesting.... then I went and read the blurb for Game Over and hustled my ass back over to the download button for Game On 😂
- This was a short and super spicy prequel 🥵🔥🌶️I definitely recommend reading this before reading Game Over.
- This novella is about Tara going to a heat clinic for the first time, meeting Charlie, and them experiencing her heat together. Jesse is not mentioned and doesn't appear until the next book in the story.
- Overall: Short and spicy.

66 pages | Omegaverse novella

This little spicy novella took me by surprise in the best way. Short, yes—but it packs so much heat. Like… nearly all spice. But hey, it’s an omegaverse story featuring an Omega in heat, what do you expect?

Let’s be clear: this isn’t the shifter kind of omegaverse. These are humans with altered physiology. (So if you're new to the genre, maybe give “knotting,” “heat,” and “slick” a quick Google—or actually, maybe don’t at work 😅).

We’ve got a more gentle, sweet Alpha—which is a breath of fresh air—and a kinky, well-run “heat hotel” for unbonded Omegas that’s such a fun premise I was instantly hooked.

So hooked, in fact, that I didn’t realize I was flying through the pages until—BAM—it ends. No cliffhanger. No big wrap-up. Just... ends. Cue the mini freakout. But fear not, because their story continues in Game Over, and you know that’s what I’m diving into next (also, MMF? YES PLEASE).

If you love fast-paced kink with a fun twist on tropes, definitely check this out.

[Weekend Reader_ · Rating 3 out of 5]

This read like tge first few chapters from the novel rather than a short.

I enjoyed the fact he was an alpha who was "dominant" think service top so it was a nice break from the alphaholes. But I think it would have worked better if he was confident. It almost read like MMC was insecure, I didnt like that.

Now the FMC is a virgin cam girl 🤷🏾‍♀️ Why was this important? I think to maybe make the point that you can have sexual urges and solo play just fine. It just fell off the rails with the internal dialogue that she's not satisfied but she wants her first time to be "special". I definitely was oscillating if this was purity signaling. I dont have an answer bc spoiler they 👌🏾👈🏽 so was it special who knows. I'm not invested enough to keep reading.

Happy Ending

Game On is a prequel novella and it delivers exactly as described. If you like omegaverse, it's a delightfully quick and dirty read. The couple have a fun dynamic and the makings for a sweet romance, and it’s enough to make me want to read the next book.

Unfortunately, it ends rather abruptly and while you're left knowing the couple is happy, we don't even get to follow Tara through her entire heat cycle experience with Charlie. On it's own, not a big fan of the sudden ending. but knowing it's a prequel to Game Over, I can only hope the author intends to expand on what happened at the end of Tara's and Charlie's time together.

[Whitney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Game on readers, this series kicks off with a bang this the steamy, spicy novella. I loved the entire premise of this book, that the omega is strong-willed and the alpha is willing to bend to meet their needs. The plot line is fairly straightforward, Tara decides to take her life into her own hands and checks herself into a high end heat hotel, which is where she meets Charlie. The chemistry between Tara and Charlie is hot enough to ignite the pages. As this is a prequel novella, it does end on a bit of the cliffhanger and will leave the reader impatient to start the second book.

[Nita · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cute and Spicy

Charlie isn't your typical alpha he is sweet but still has that alpha dominance deep deep deep down inside. Tara isn't your typical Omega she has a dominant streak to her that Charlie definitely enjoy. And Tara loved his sweeter side just as much as she enjoyed his dominant when he decided to flex it. I can't wait for the full novel to come out I'm excited to see how these two interact when they see each other again.
