Want It All: A Banksia House Omegaverse
Rose's dream to secure a scholarship at Banksia House, a prestigious postgraduate school at the elite South-East Coast University, has finally come true. She's excited for the chance to study with the greats, and even more excited to live in a community with a strict scent suppression policy. No one will know her designation, and she can finally be free.
But things don't always go to plan.
Byron's mistake exposes the little omega, and he's desperate to fix things. He never imagined that keeping her safe would deepen his feelings into something more, and now he must confront the grief of his past if he's ever going to be lucky enough to belong to an omega - and a pack.
Sebastian is good at keeping secrets; he's been doing it for years. Life at Banksia is no different, until he meets the new omega, and everything changes. Sebastian wants a pack, but a pack would mean sharing the truth ... and his alpha, the love of his life, is standing in his way.
Tristan has one aim in life - to give Sebastian everything he wants, and he's prepared to be ruthless to make sure it happens. But Sebastian's dream to win the coveted Banksia Prize is threatened by his attachment to the little omega, and Tristan only knows one way to handle things. Tristan never wanted a pack, but he might find one at Banksia House - if Rose and Byron can ever forgive him.
Smart and spicy, Want It All is a standalone why-choose omegaverse romance filled with heat, hurt, heart, and a HEA.

This was my first Omegaverse, and I was right to trust one of my fave indie authors to introduce me to the genre - the book was fantastic!! Not only were the MCs so well fleshed-out and realistic, and their romance believable, deep, and emotional, but the world building was immersive and a unique combination of dystopian, academia, and an Australian coast setting. Add many super hot moments, and you have yourself a must-read that deserves a re-read after ;)

this author can write, i can’t deny that. i usually hate multiple povs, especially when a story has more male characters than female ones. but somehow, i was interested enough to keep going when usually i would have dnf’ed quickly.
the reason why i couldn’t give this book more than a three is because that i felt like it was too male centered. i know. quite ridiculous considering it is exactly what i should have expected. however, when it comes to omegaverse books with a female lead in the equation, i like it better when she’s the center. i read this book for rose but unfortunately, she was treated like an unimportant side character (more like a plot device) so i did not enjoy that.
bottom line, the book is not the problem, it’s me. if you like testosterone infused books then this one is for you!

A reverse harem, an omegaverse, and all the four protagonists engage with each other.
I didn't really know what to expect at first. Rose is an omega, and obviously she and Byron (alpha) had a more special relationship. Sebastian (beta) and Tristan (alpha) were already a couple, and that made everything a bit more confusing for me to understand how it would work lol.
I really liked the complementary scents and scent matches. The fact that the school requires students to use scent blockers and they're forced to make connections on their own made it all the more fun.
The main characters have pasts. Even though they're briefly explained, we know what they had before going to university and why they are who and how they are.
I thought Rose's relationship with Tristan wouldn't be well developed. I found him too distant at first, and I thought everyone's focus would be on Sebastian, but that wasn't the case. The author developed Rose and Sebastian well, acting as the core, with Byron and Tristan doing whatever they were told (even though they were the alphas).
The university was also well developed, even though the main focus of the book was the romance. We had supporting characters and a conflict with a professor that made everything more exciting.
There was no third act breakup (and thank goodness for that). Their romance was well developed, and I felt a lot of chemistry between them. There are a lot of sex scenes. A lot. But it makes sense within the context of the story (an omega in heat).
The writing flowed beautifully, and I'll definitely read more if the author continues to develop the universe.

With so many characters, 4 total, there is always the chance that there is not enough time spent, but I didn't feel that way at all. Each character as a POV and each chapter is meaningful.

I occasionally read Omegaverse books because I have friends who rave about them, and I have always wanted to understand what all the fuss is about. With "Want It All," which is set in Australia, I think I can. It feels like Omegaverse Light. Not to say there aren't alphas, betas, and omegas as part of the story, as the MMCs and the FMC are all characters of that nature. And this is set in a school for alphas, betas, and omegas. However, an omega is stronger than in other books. The alphas are kinder than I have read about them being before. And there's an overall level of violence that seems minimal in comparison to other Omegaverse books I've read. Australia feels like another main character in this book, since I read it having grown up in the USA. It might not feel like that to an Aussie. However, for me, it brought back memories of my visits to Australia, and I found myself taking breaks to search Google fairly often while reading. Not unlike I did in college for papers, but in the library. There were big words and interesting parallels. Another definite difference from the Omegaverse stories I'd read before. Several times, I was searching for terms that ended up defining flora and fauna I'd loved during my visits to Oz, but which I hadn't known the words for. Because I so often find myself living inland, often for reasons beyond my control, while wishing desperately for the sea, when one of the characters voiced a similar longing, I sighed audibly. It was grounding moments like that that took me out of the Omegaverse & reminded me this was just another story about finding a place you'll be seen and loved for who you are. And who among us hasn’t longed to belong. When an "Aubrey Beardsley print with a scene from Le Morte d’Arthur" was referenced as hanging over one character's bed, I felt it was me who belonged because artists like Beardsley are much beloved, and in fact, I've read Le Morte d’Arthur. Not to mention this was the first omegaverse book to make me want two alphas, or a pack, around to take care of me! Byron and Tristan are so sweet at times that it made me understand the term “book boyfriend.” While normally alphas in other books just make me think of toxic masculinity, this time I just thought more of a strong man who can show emotion and can love without shame. Which is not to say there isn't stubbornness. We're talking about men after all. *wink* If anything was lacking, it was more of our characters once they get their happily ever after. But in the end, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes the Omegaverse or who wants to get into it and doesn't know anything, yet.

Just...boring.
**SPOILERS**
Rosemary gets a scholarship to a prestigious academy to study. She goes into the academy as an expected “beta” but on like day one she’s outted by a fellow Alpha student as an omega! Her life is further complicated by the fact that the student who outted her is the Dean’s son, AND attracted to Rose. She forms a friendship with Sebastian and Tristan (they’re a couple) and soon comes to realize that Seb is an omega in “disguise.” He has been hiding his designation with suppressants and blockers. Tristan HIS Alpha has helped this deception but now it’s crumbling around him because Byron (the student who outted Rose) figures out Seb’s secret…and oh, guess what, he’s scent matched to Tristan they’re MATES.
Byron in a roundabout way rejects Tristan because he’s afraid of his own feral tendencies and doesn’t want a pack. But Seb goes into an unexpected heat and all bets are off. Rise and Tristan do their best, but in the end Seb needs BOTH alphas to help him through his first heat.
The book ends with Rose and Seb both winning the major prize, and the four becoming an official pack.
**THOUGHTS/SPOILERS**
This isn’t an awful book, it’s just an okay book. It came highly recommended so I guess I was expecting more…more everything. The weird mystery part with a cloak and dagger group called the Revels turned out to be silly. Nothing really came of it, and in the end there isn’t much resolution, save the fact that they help Tristan back date Seb’s official omega registration, and in return Tristan will use his hacking abilities for them. There is VERY LITTLE DRAMA in this book…honestly at points it was downright BORING. I’m not sure how it got such great reviews because I swear I could’ve nodded off at some points in the book. Rose is kind of a “flat” character with little to no personality, and the only “exciting” character is Byron, and even he is kind of “wimpy” with his woe is me behavior toward his ferality. It just was dull. There was nothing that made this book stand out. And oh, it’s a true polyamorous story, as in, ALL THE CHARACTERS are involved with each other. Perhaps that’s what was a little “irksome,” there never seemed enough “time” or attention building up Rose’s relationship with “her alphas,” because they never really felt like hers to begin with. Tristan was clearly Seb’s alpha, then scent matched with Byron. And Seb was Rose’s omega, but Rose had compatible scents with the alphas but wasn’t really MATCHED. She just turned into this “side character.” I don’t know. I just felt as if there was never any REAL 100% attention on our FMC, it was always split attention. And even her “omeganess” wasn’t special because it turned out Seb was a rare male omega.
In the end there was nothing that fantastic about this book. Again, this is merely my opinion. But I’d rather read the thesaurus than try to trudge through this lackluster book again.

If you’re looking to dip your toes into Omegaverse then look no further because this deliciously steamy yet emotionally complex dreamy OV academia romance is perfect for you!!
I’d like to start off by saying I found it so refreshing that the story took place in Australia. I don’t think I often read many romances let alone OV that take place there. The description of the school and the grounds really added to some of the magic within this story especially the beach scenes 🥹
You so quickly fall in love with Rosemary 🥰 and shortly there after with Byron 😍, Sebastian 🤩, and Tristan 🤤. Each of them provided great balance between the dynamics and you could see serious growth throughout the book. Some more than others, but as each of them discovered new challenges and the relationships evolved you couldn’t help but enjoy page after page. I never started a new chapter with a change and POV and was disappointed. I wanted to be inside alllll of their heads. Especially when we hit some spice because we were blessed with every form of MF, MM, MMF, etc 🌶️
Lastly, I really appreciated how much the author focused on the intricacies of this particular version of OV. How Omegas were tracked via registration, how power imbalances not only affected the story in this school but also in the rest of the world, and how the relationships that developed proved to be somewhat taboo in this world.
Love,
A Byron girlie 💕

From the first page, I was completely immersed by Rose, Byron, Seb, and Tris—their friendships, tensions, and everything in between. Hollie Hartwright weaves a careful, character-driven slow burn set in a tantalizing academy world, and I loved every moment.
Rose’s journey from cautious omega to full-hearted connection felt emotionally grounded.
Byron was the perfect mix of protective intensity and vulnerability.
Seb brought beautiful depth with his long-held secrets and longing for acceptance.
Tris, with that wild yet caring spirit, added just the right touch of unpredictability.
I found myself wanting a bit more between Tris and Byron by the end, but honestly, the quiet resolution fit their personalities—subtle, realistic, and deeply satisfying. I was thrilled with the happy ending.
If academy settings, omegaverse dynamics, or slow burn romance (with just enough spice) light you up, Want It All should be next on your list. It’s a beautifully written blend of high-heart emotion, steamy tension, and honest character evolution.

This story is set in an Omegaverse world where scents are suppressed under law for protection and also the bonus of forming genuine connections beyond a scent match. Rose just wants to go to college, she’s not looking for a pack and certainly doesn’t expect to have her designation outed to the whole school first day in. After realizing his mistake, the alpha offender Bryon makes it his mission to be her protector. She forms a fast friendship with Sebastian a beta and his alpha Tristan who singular focus is to protect his mate from any threat, that includes this new omega. The pull they feel towards each other is undeniable. Once the masks come off, there’s no denying that they’re meant for each other. The MMMF spice between all the character is so good! I loved that their connection goes beyond designation and it helps bring them all together in the end. Their backstories are truly unique and will keep you hanging on till everything has been revealed. The story is strong and well written. Had me hook from beginning to end.

I really enjoyed the way the story was structured. It wasn’t your typical insta love(love those too fyi) story but a slow build up of desire and attraction between Rosemary and the guys (Byron, Tristan, and Sebastian). I loved the university setting, you get to see how their designations affect their every day student lives. All the characters are flawed but have so much growth and you get to enjoy seeing them flourish. Wish the ending was a little longer but overall I really enjoyed it.

Loved it
This was kind of different from the omegaverse books I usually read but in the best way. I loved all the characters, especially Byron. I am a big fan of the storyline and how the relationship grew throughout the book. I highly suggest this book if you're a fan of an omega in hiding and some M/M content. So good and I will definitely read it again!

Spice: 5/5
Genre: Why Choose, Shifter (no shifting), Omegaverse, Academy
Content Warnings: Death, Violence, PTSD symptoms
ARC Source: I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
PoV: 4: Rose, Sebastian, Tristan, Byron
Thoughts: First of all, I really like that all the characters are at least 20+ and in grad school. Second, don’t be fooled by the fact that the first quarter of the book doesn’t have a lot of spice because the rest of the book definitely makes up for it. Last of all, the author somehow adds some good character development into the mix and a little plot. I would definitely recommend this standalone book. I couldn’t put it down.

This is my first book written by this author. I normally choose dark romance in all tropes, but I liked this one. I enjoyed getting to know Rose, Sebastian, Tristan, and Byron. Each character came with a bit of baggage or a secret, but they worked through their issues and ended with a very sweet HEA. I did feel the secret society was a bit of an afterthought. I would have liked more insight into its history and members. I liked the story as a whole. I will be looking for the next Hollie Hartwright release.

Story 4.5⭐️ Spice 3.25🌶️
A very pleasant surprise. This book is so soo good! I really enjoyed getting to know the pack and their back stories. There was enough information to make it exciting, but not so much that it got repetitive or boring.

I absolutely loved this book. It made me realise that most of my characters are kinda perfect but these ones felt so human. They struggled through a lot and make mistakes but they also built genuine connections and cared for each other deeply. The spice was just enough but didn't overtake the book and honestly they are some things that I just didn't see coming. The character growth for all of them was amazing and I love that their friends also had an influence on them

Tropes:
* MMMF with MM, MF, and MFM scenes
* Omegaverse
* Scented matches and mates
Thank you to Hollie Hartwright and BookSirens for this eARC! I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
This romance jumped quickly into the conflict and tension, and I liked that! This book is so deliciously detailed in every little bit of the steam and how they interact with each other while finding out how connected they truly are to each other. The author did well explaining how things worked in this world for alphas, omegas, and betas, which helped me understand the risks and rules of what happened if any complications arise for them, especially omegas.
This was a very unique omegaverse romance, where there are two omegas and two alphas… but I won’t spoil any more of that besides saying it made this an even more intense, passionate, and explosive heat level 🤭 My only wish is to get a bonus chapter for their time together on the island that is hinted at the very end. That would truly make that such a good HEA for them for me to read! I loved this book and read it in one day ❤️

ARC reader here!!
I absolutely LOVED this book, I have only read a handful of omegaverse books including some that the author recommended in the beginning if you’re new to this universe.
She stated not to read this book if you’re new to the universe but I honestly learned SO MUCH from this book that I hadn’t known previously that I think it would be appropriate as your first omegaverse book but I could be wrong. Everyone is different.
I will honestly miss these characters so much and would read more books about them if I could, I just really fell in love with them🥲
I’m kinda sad we didn’t get to experience Roses heat with them, but other than that I have no complaints and this book exceeded all expectations and is now a new favorite for sure and is top of my list for omegaverse books.
I absolutely LOVED this book, I have only read a handful of omegaverse books including some that the author recommended in the beginning if you’re new to this universe.

At first reading the description on this I didn't think it was for me but boy am happy to be wrong. I loved this book and the relationships built between all of the characters. Complementary scent vs scent matches is such a fun concept, I loved all of the different combinations that were talked about.
The main female character being an Omega and accidently outed kicked off an emotional roller coaster between regular class bias and triggering feral alphas. The entire story line seemed unique and well thought out. While there were not any gaps to the story line, I do wish that there was more exploration into the Revels and what they did.

I have read my fair share of omegaverse books over the years and I absolutely love the genre, when it’s done correctly and boy was this done correctly! Holly smacked it out of the park with her storyline, her characters and her depth of knowledge on the omegaverse world. Each book is always a little different obviously with the same overarching themes and I really loved the way the author worked things out in the book, with prejudice evident and the things that omegas and Alphas can go through. It’s definitely one of my top reads so far this year! I hope she does more in the future!

Want It All by Hollie Hartwright was an unexpected delight — an easy ★★★★★ from me.
I went in expecting something extremely dark and twisted (and honestly unsure if I’d enjoy it), but the gorgeous cover and intriguing blurb pulled me in. I’ve only read a few omegaverse stories, so I’m far from an expert, but this one absolutely won me over.
The story is beautifully written, spicy, and surprisingly wholesome. It’s packed with elements I love: an academy setting, a why-choose romance, “high heat, hurt and heart,” a dystopian coastal Australia backdrop, and a hard-earned HEA. The characters were compelling, the world-building rich, and I found myself rooting for every single main character.
If you enjoy omegaverse but want something less oppressively dark, Want It All is a breath of fresh air.
Favorite quote:
“If anyone touches her without her express and ongoing consent,” I ground out, my voice dangerously low, “or makes her feel uncomfortable, or so much as looks at her if she doesn’t want it, I’ll tear their f***ing arms off.”
Consent has never been so hot!
Note: This is a MMMF why-choose romance. Please check your trigger warnings before reading.

This book has definitely become one of my favorite omegaverses ever!
I found it truly unique and original. I adored Rose — her personality, her strength, and the way she tries to find her place in this elite university setting. She’s such a compelling main character, and I really enjoyed following her journey of growth and self-discovery.
The three guys — Byron, Sebastian, and Tristan — were all amazing, each with their own distinct personality and past that shaped who they are.
One of the things I loved most about this story was the emotional depth and complexity of every character, and how much growth we get to see from all of them throughout the book.
I also really appreciated how the relationships were handled. Often, the dynamics between the MMCs are left in the background, but here everything felt perfectly balanced — both the connections between Rose and each of the guys, and the bonds among the guys themselves.
Their relationships evolve naturally, filled with tension, vulnerability, and care, and you can truly feel how much they all grow together as a pack.
Another thing I loved was how the omegaverse element was portrayed — it felt fresh, realistic, and deeply meaningful. It was woven seamlessly into the worldbuilding and added emotional weight to the story, especially in the way it explored identity, trust, and belonging.

Where's the button for a thousand stars?
This was more than just an Omegaverse Book! All of the characters were so incredible and brought so much life to the Academy. We first meet Rosemary, and then the story unfolds from there as all the guys are brought in. It's not your typical Omegaverse where they all hone in on the love interest, but instead there's a slightly slow build up of mutual attraction and want, a pulling of desire that brings them all closer.
I loved seeing the friendship build between them all, and how they all showed up to support each other. Rosemary's determination through several of their challenges really carried how they eventually come together as a Pack. Then there were moments in the story progression that had me on the edge of my seat, wondering what was going to happen next.
My heart became Sebastian Worthy's as well. That character is the literal definition of sunshine. His vibrancy and how it paired so beautifully with Rosemary's vibe was very well written. I was going back to re-read scenes twice! This is one of my favorite Omegaverse books to date.
Want It All invites you to dream a little deeper and believe in the impossible.

Title: Want It All by Hollie Hartwright
Rating: 4.5 / ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
Review:
*I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.*
Now, Want It All got me curious when I saw it. The cover was gorgeous, of course, and the synopsis got me even more curious.
The characters feel messy, vulnerable, and real, which made it easy to get invested in their journey. I’d like to believe that they’re complex and flawed in ways that reader’s like me can relate to them. Specially, Rosemary.
A bit slow in places but overall it’s still an engaging read since it’s a whole new complete verse (not to me!) but this was also unique in its own way.
I also appreciated how Hollie added more depth to familiar omegaverse elements.
The mix of romance, drama, and less darker themes works well, and the writing is so so so beautiful.
Also, CONSENT IS SPICY. *wink wink*
My only downside was the ending, I guess. I felt it wrapped up a little too quickly and left me wanting for more. But overall, it’s a strong 4-star read.
I’d recommend.

This book is a delightful read and offers a fresh take on the omegaverse genre, which is one of the reasons I love omegaverse romance novels. While they share common elements, each can be uniquely different in its approach.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel; the world-building is well crafted, particularly in how the designations and society function in ways that differ from other omegaverse books. I found it intriguing how the government controlled various aspects of life, even going so far as to put medicine into the drinking water—something that feels eerily plausible in reality.
I also appreciated the university setting in the story and how the emergence of designations influenced simple aspects of life related to studying and learning.
Byron was my favorite character; I am drawn to characters with traumatic pasts who manage to overcome their challenges.
Any omegaverse fan will enjoy this book, as it has just the right amount of angst and tension to keep readers engaged.

I couldn’t put this omegaverse romance down!
Yes, it had all the omegaverse elements you would expect, which are well done. But we also dive deep into the characters and their relationships with each other.
Even though it is a university setting the characters are in their late twenties, so expect more maturity than your usual new adult romance.
The world building was outstanding. And there were so many beautiful passages evoking the landscape of the New South Wales south coast, one of my favourite places.
Hollie Hartwright has an easy to read, flowing writing style which also really enjoyed.
If you’re looking for an Australian set omegaverse please pick this up!
Thank you Hollie Hartwright and BookSirens for supplying this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Thanks to BookSirens for the ARC
I've marked this as a 4/5 since this is a really good start off point for the world of Omegaverse. However, this book just isn't for me.
I liked the world and the characters in it but I couldn't really connect to the polyamorous nature of the book. But if you're into it then this book is definitely a good one. The author has weaved the right emotions to get to connected to each character. I fell in love with every individual character.
The world building is very interesting and easy to dive into.
Also despite the author claiming that this book isn't a good way to start reading books in the Omegaverse genre, I think she's wrong. I enjoyed it throughly.
Spice - 4.2/5
Would I recommend this book? A definite yes. Especially to someone who is curious about the genre.

2 Omegas, one in hiding; 2 alphas one without control
Four students enter the prestigess school Banksia house, where the smartest of the smartest can only apply. Banksia levels the playing field by requiring all student to utilize scent canceling materials, therefore no one knows what designation a student is. But that didn’t happen to Rose, she is outed by Byron an alpha for sure. He’s not sure about why he did it. Our other two characters are Tristan and Sebastian, an alpha in love with Sebastian “beta”, an omega in hiding. These four dance around each other for different reasons. There are scent matches and complimentary scent matches. If you like an omegaverse story this is the book for you.

well written, but…
This novel was very well written and masterfully edited. It had vivid world building and creative mastery and subversion of traditional poly omegaverse dynamics, so kudos there. However, it has a glaring weakness for a MMMF romance: the FMC was very much an unnecessary, unimportant side character instead of the main character. Because of that, this novel would have been much more enjoyable as a MMM romance. I like FMC’s with big main character energy and a pack that rotates and orientates around her as the center when I read an RH romance, and this book massively failed to scratch that itch. Her characterization was uninteresting and kind of blah, too, which is unusual for most of the RH romances I read.
