Overeager
Eli Miller worked hard to get where he’s at. He put in his time with academia, suffered through a contentious divorce, and now he’s months away from securing tenure. And sure, Eli’s let his life get a little small and a little boring, but that’s better than stumbling into another epic mistake like his first marriage.
But when a ridiculously hot alpha way out of Eli’s league asks for a very specific favor, Eli finds himself taking a walk on the wild side for the first time in years. Which wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, until that same young alpha shows up in one of Eli’s classes.
As his student.
Noah Teller has never wanted anyone to be his boyfriend before. His friends say he’s too picky, Noah just thinks he’s…selective. But when an adorable omega with kind eyes and a delicious scent falls into his lap, Noah isn’t afraid to ask for what he wants. And yeah, Eli might be his professor—whoops—but that doesn’t mean Noah’s going to let him get away.
Call him overzealous, call him overeager, but either way, Noah is going to make Eli his.
Overeager is a student x professor, age gap, omegaverse romance. It contains a confident alpha student, an omega professor regretting certain life choices, steamy first times, a case of sweetie pie meets sweetie pie, and an ex-husband who maybe needs a punch to the face. The series is non-shifter omegaverse with no mpreg.

⭐️ 4.5/5 — A sunshiney younger alpha + sweet older omega = my kinda romance 😍
🌶 3.5/5 — Hot enough to melt me, sweet enough to ruin me ❤️🔥
MM Omegaverse is the love of my life when it comes to books. The dynamics, the nature of it—it just speaks to my soul. And when you mix that with a younger Alpha/older Omega pairing? UGH, that’s my ultimate brand of crack, tailor-made for me if I ever saw one. This was my first Grae Bryan read, and it definitely won’t be my last. 🥰✨💕
👱🏻👨🏻🏫 The MCs 👱🏻👨🏻🏫
Noah (the Alpha) — He's carefree, warm, caring, straightforward, and confident without ever being an arrogant ass. He knows what he wants and doesn’t waste time—my younger Alpha king 👑🔥. He might be young, but he’s the caretaker of his many siblings. And that sunshine charm mixed with golden retriever energy? Yeah… he owned me. 😍💖
Eli (the Omega) — He's smart, sweet, patient, and a little world-weary after his divorce, but never weak. His quiet strength and vulnerability made me wanna wrap him in a blanket and never let go 🥹💕. He’s brilliant with a respectable career, but tends to overthink and spiral during preheat—so damn cute! And the older Omega energy?? Ugh, perfection. 🤌🏻💋
🌡🔥 The Meet-Cute — The Hot Tub Got Holy-Fucking-Hot 🌡🔥
Quote:
Noah: “You don’t think you and I could have fun?”
Eli: “I think it’d be… intense.”
Noah: “Yeah?”
Eli: “Yeah.”
Noah: “Hey, Eli?” (slides his arm behind Eli’s upper back)
Eli: “Yes?”
Noah: “I think you should invite me inside.”
Eli: “We haven’t even kissed, maybe we’re not compatible.”
They were compatible. Compatible as fuck. Noah knew it as sure as anything.
Noah grasped Eli’s chin, moving in slow—but Eli surged up and closed the distance. Noah grinned into the kiss, slipped in his tongue, hand curling at the back of Eli’s neck, thumb brushing close to where a mating mark would lie. Eli whimpered, climbing into his lap as Noah sucked on his tongue.
Eli: (panting, eyes wide) “So you’ve kissed before, I take it?”
Noah: (grins) “Hey, Eli.”
Eli: “Yes?”
Noah: “Invite me in.”
💭 Holy hell! That scene got me fucking feral. Screaming, kicking, giggling, melting into a puddle of oh-my-god-the-sexual-tension-is-biblical. That wasn’t just sparks—it was a full-on detonation of lust, a hot tub turned volcano, a chemistry explosion so big it needed a warning label. 🫦❤️🔥
💔😭 The Agony of Being a Secret — Noah's Shattered Heart 💔😭
Quote:
It hurt.
It hurt to sit there, Noah’s omega right here and yet worlds away, smelling for all the world like his ex-husband and not Noah. It hurt to pretend to be strangers when Noah needed reassurance the most.
It just … hurt.
💭 I was sobbing, writhing, ripping my hair out. This is why I avoid secret-relationship tropes, they shred my heart into bloody confetti. Noah sitting there, forced to be "Mr. Teller" while his omega gets called "husband" by another man?? FUCKING. DEVASTATING. 😭😭😭💔💔💔
🥵💦 The Spice — Heat Sex, Knotting, and Sweet Filth 🥵💦
Quote:
“Poor baby,” Noah soothed, rubbing his thumb along the swollen head. “You’re aching again, aren’t you?”
Eli moaned in answer, and Noah hiked up his thigh, rocking into him as best he could while they were locked together. Each little movement made Eli shudder, his body clenching down around Noah’s knot.
💭 That right here??? THAT is the exact blend of filthy-hot and soft-adorable that makes me feral. Like Noah’s giving him dirty relief while also babying him at the same time. Who tf gave him the right to call Eli “poor baby” in the middle of HEAT SEX and make it sound like a fucking lullaby?? 😩🔥 I’m undone. 🫠
🙄🖕🏻 The SCs Who Ruined My Vibe (and My Patience) — My Rage Awards 🙄🖕🏻
This book really had me running a whole-ass award ceremony for side characters I wanted to chuck out the window. Keep in mind: I’m at the PEAK of my LUTEAL PHASE, it’s hot as Satan’s balls where I’m at, and I’m sweating buckets. So yeah, the rage is unfiltered. Let’s roll the red carpet:
🥇 Ash — Winner of “Biggest Little Brother Menace” Award
Like, bro, you’re Noah’s younger brother, why the hostility?? Chill the fuck out. I get it, you’re probably gonna present as an Alpha, but can someone toss this kid a downer? My patience is THIN. 😒
🥈 Richard — Lifetime Achievement in Being a Dickface
Dude. The words ex-husband and signed divorce papers should’ve been your big flashing neon sign to BACK OFF. But no, you cheated, you fucked up, and now you’re slithering back like a cockroach. Disgusting. 🖕🏻
🥉 Spencer — Gold Medalist in Olympic-Level Whining
Congratulations, you absolute whiny Alpha disaster. You’ve perfected the art of selfish, immature tantrums. You’re supposed to be an Alpha—why are you cosplaying as a sulky teenager? 🤨
🏁❤️🔥 The Ending: Claimed, Knotted, Forever — The Epilogue that Wrecked Me 🏁❤️🔥
Quote:
“Noah had bitten into the left side of his neck, a mirror image of Eli’s own claim on him.
Noah had claimed him.
Tears escaped Eli’s closed lids as his inner muscles clenched and fluttered around Noah’s knot … Eli stroked his hair, trying to let him know wordlessly that they weren’t tears of pain.
Eli was just so fucking happy.”
💭 THIS. FUCKING. SCENE. 😭🔥 Do you understand how insane it is to give us mutual claiming bites during a rut?? Like the symbolism, the raw carnality, the “mine, mine, mine” energy while also being tender enough to lick his tears away. And then Noah saying “I feel like this is the best day of my life”—I ascended. I died. I saw god. This wasn’t just sex, it was the knotting, claiming, mate-bonding, heart-splitting, life-defining culmination of everything they’d fought for. Peak Omegaverse perfection. 🤌🏻✨️
📝 TLDR 📝
Pick this up if you’re into:
🪢 MM Omegaverse, non-shifter, no mpreg
💞 A sunshiney golden retriever younger alpha and sweet, slightly chaotic but brilliant older omega pairing
💔 Secret relationship angst that rips you open before sewing you back together
🔥 Spice that’s both filthy hot and stupidly tender
💖 A sweet HEA that will make your heart full
⚠️ But beware of SCs who’ll test your patience 🙄😮💨
-
Quotes:
Noah grinned. He had dimples on both sides, which seemed frankly like too much. Save some charm for the rest of humanity, right?
-
Noah was almost positive Eli couldn’t smell his scent through the chlorine. Most people weren’t as sensitive as Noah was, and he was keeping a tight rein on his pheromones. Otherwise, he’d have been broadcasting “HORNY” all over the deck.
-
“Then can I ask you something completely inappropriate?”
“Why the hell not?”
“You ever taken someone’s virginity?” Noah asked, before he could think better of it.
Fortune favored the bold, right?
-
“I need you to know this is the hottest thing that’s ever happened to me in my entire life.”
-
He knew he and Eli weren't bonded or anything, but it still felt like his omega was here, smelling nothing like him, and that seemed weirdly unacceptable.
Was this a virgin thing? This ... clinginess?
-
“Was I too harsh, Deadly? Was I? Too harsh? I think I was.”
Deadly didn’t answer. That was because she was a stone-cold bitch when it came to romantic entanglements. Also, she was a cat, and she couldn’t speak.
-
He should have been strong. Should have showered off Noah’s pheromones as soon as he’d gotten home. But he’d slept with them still on him, sniffing at his wrist throughout the night like a fucking lunatic.
-
“You smell like an alpha.”
“I— Who—Sister! I’m here with my sister!”
“And you just happened to come to my bar? Must be fate.”
That was … that was a good line.
“You’re a flirt.”
“Only with you.”
That was also a good line.
-
“I want you more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my life, Eli.”
-
Fuck. Why did he have to be a horny drunk? Why couldn’t he have been a mean one? Or a sloppy one? Or literally any other kind that didn’t involve him trying to seduce Noah when Noah was already hanging on to his morals by a mere frayed fucking thread.
-
“You’re killing me, you know that? Listen. If you still want me in the morning, I will do anything you want me to. Swear to fucking god. Any. Damn. Thing.”
“Even knot me?”
Noah raised his eyes to the ceiling. Horny god give me strength.
-
“I never tasted you, which is a fucking crime. With how good you smell?” He shook his head, then grasped Eli’s chin lightly, his eyes searing into him. “Will you let me, Eli? Let me taste you like I’ve been dying to?”
-
Noah gave him a glowing grin, his dimples on full display. “So, like, just give me ten minutes.” He glanced down at his softening cock and grimaced. “Maybe twenty.”
Eli laughed, bright and giddy.
-
Noah grinned at him. “Hello.”
Eli’s cheeks were a delightful pink. “Hi.”
Noah piled a bite of egg on a piece of toast, holding it to Eli’s mouth. Eli took a dainty bite, keeping eye contact with Noah as he chewed. Something deep and primal in Noah shifted, pleased at the sight.
“Hand-feeding?” Eli asked quietly after he’d swallowed.
It was Noah’s turn to flush. He hadn’t really been thinking, other than wanting to feed Eli the food he’d made. But it was mate behavior, what he was doing. Alphas in particular would hand-feed omegas during their heats, when the omegas were too worn out to manage on their own.
Still, he wasn’t embarrassed enough to stop.
-
“We are dating now, right?”
“Is that what you’d like?”
“I’d like to be your boyfriend,” Noah told him immediately, keeping up his steady streak of having absolutely zero chill.
-
Fuck coffee. Fuck breakfast. Noah had already decided he could live on Eli’s slick alone. He’d never tasted anything that good before in his life.
-
“You fucked me open with your tongue already. Put your cock in me, Noah.”
“Jesus.”
-
How the fuck did anyone get anything done in this world, if this was what knotting someone felt like? How was everyone not just fucking their brains out all the time?
He’d have to ask Eli, when he could form full sentences again.
-
“Thank you.”
“For leading you astray in the art of alpha-omega sex?”
“For giving me a chance. I’m going to be so good to you, Eli. You won’t regret it. I won’t let you.”
-
“You took all my cum. Sucked it out of me like an incubus, every last bit. Past, present, and future.”
“Your future cum, even?”
“Mm-hmm. I’ll be shooting blanks for the next decade. If I even shoot anything at all.”
“Oh my.”
-
“How are you feeling?”
“I feel like this is the best day of my life.”
“Hey, Noah?”
“Yeah, baby?”
“This is the best day of my life too.”

I love Grae Bryan's work (bring back the vamps!), but Overeager was too sex forward for me. I've read over 3,000 mm romance books, and there are only so many ways to write cocks and buttholes.
The story does a decent job developing the romance beyond just heat and mating.
Eli and Noah are truly adorable together. Noah is the Alpha of everyone's dreams and takes the best care of his omega, who also happens to be his professor.
There's some conflict with Eli's ex that's scripted and predictable. Of course it's the ex. It's always the ex. I've read this story in different words before.
Three stars because this is a me problem.
Fans of omegaverse are sure to love this sexy little number.

A one-time thing? With the connection they’d had? Yeah fucking right.
After a chance meeting while on holiday, Eli is horrified to learn that his one-night stand Noah is one of his students. Eli isn't in the market for a relationship, particularly with his alpha student. But Noah's relentless charm is difficult to resist, and Eli soon finds himself falling for him. But can he trust Noah to not only know what he wants (at such a young age), but also to treat him better than his ex-husband did? Overeager is a sweet and spicy omegaverse, teacher/student, age gap (13 years) romance.
Noah pressed his forehead to Eli’s, putting every ounce of his sincerity into his words. “I’m going to be so good to you, Eli. You won’t regret it. I won’t let you.”
I enjoyed Grae Bryan's foray into omegaverse. The story is very sweet and approachable, and I think it will be well received by fans of omegaverse and those new to the genre. Both characters are likeable and compelling, with Eli being the more fleshed out of the two. Eli has very low expectations of alphas, anticipating that Noah will be as lacklustre and selfish as his ex-husband. He's full of anxiety about so many things, while in contrast Noah is the confident caretaker. They each blossom as a result of their mutual reassurance and love throughout the book. I really enjoyed the scene where Eli coaches Noah through having sex for the first time- it was extremely sweet and well done. I don't think I've ever read a 'deflowering' scene as thoughtfully portrayed.
Home, his heart was telling him. This was home. This person, this nest, this bond.
Where the book fell short of a 5 star read for me was in the depth and plot- a lot of the book was sex scenes- which normally doesn't bother me- but they started to feel repetitive and filler-esque after the first few scenes. The physical attraction between Eli and Noah was never in question, and I wanted the story to focus a bit more on their connection outside of bed. We get to know Eli really well, but we are given less information about Noah. I'm still not precisely sure why Eli loves him other than that he's so much better than his ex, which isn't really saying anything about Noah himself other than that he isn't a complete jerk. It was a quick, easy and enjoyable read, but lacking a little in substance. For that reason, the connection between the two characters fell a bit flat for me. What has 2025 come to when I'm asking for more substance and less spice?????????? I'll definitely be looking for book 2 in the series, and hoping a certain stern and intimidating professor helps a certain student through his next heat 🔥🌶

4.25**** stars
Fabulous ABO romance featuring a freshly divorced college professor (omega, 34) and a college student (Alpha, 21) who just lost his V-card who meet again in the lecture hall after having spent a glorious night together as strangers in a cabin in the mountains.
It was all rather predictable which I didn’t mind. I loved reading it. A feel-good story with feel-good characters that has me looking forward to more in the series.
And damn, did I love the ex-husband drama. *giggle

“I think you should invite me inside.”
“We haven’t even kissed,” Eli told him, even as he let Noah pluck his empty cup from his hands. “Maybe we’re not compatible.”
They were compatible. They were compatible as fuck.

[I didn't highlight a lot of quotes, but that scene stuck to me in a strange way. I just love the intimacy, and the comfort they both provided for the other.]
Overeager isn’t my first Grae Bryan's book, but I definitively got some of the feelings I had during my reading of Roman.
The first time I saw this story's tropes, I felt like it was written just for me. It was everything I loved, and secretly enjoyed.
Granted, I don't have the biggest experience in omegaverse, apart from fanfictions, but a younger alpha and an older omega, with the teacher and student trope, is definitively not something common.
But oh, did I enjoy this delicious aspect!
The relationship between Elijah Miller [omega teacher] and Noah Teller [alpha student] was the sweetest. Their dynamic felt natural, with Noah taking care of Eli, despite the age-gap [13 years].
Elijah recently got divorced from Richard [a pompous asshole, by the way] and to celebrate the anniversary of his divorce, he decided to take some vacation in Sedona, where he met Noah.
Both attracted to each other, they slept together, which was Noah’s first time since he never had sex before.
Which brings me to my first point. I absolutely loved how Grae Bryan wrote Noah. A responsible and capable alpha being picky about who he wants to sleep with? Smash. [He's also blond, tall, broad-shouldered, and he has dimples. Mentioning how he looked seems like a very appropriate thing to do here 🙈] More seriously, I appreciated how the author reversed the roles here, with Eli being the experienced one.
Noah was the perfect caregiver, and he was so swoonworthy. So eager to please, to be everything Eli needed in an alpha, always making sure what he did was 'good'. It was so sweet, seriously. You can’t not like Noah.
Despite the risks, Noah and Eli chose to keep their relationship a secret, while simultaneously continuing their respective life. Eli wanted to be careful because he thought he could lose his job, and Noah just followed his lead, content to give this relationship a chance [he's so precious!].
Nonetheless, there're things that fell flat to me.
Eli brought up Noah's youth way too much. I get that he didn’t want Noah to make the same mistakes he did with his ex-husband [the pompous asshole], but why couldn't he see sooner that Noah was the perfect fit for him? I understood him, I guess. His insecurites were justified, but it did get a little irritating.
I also wished some moments between them didn't feel rushed. While I adored their relationship, I feel like I didn't get to learn how they fell in love with each other. Was it insta-love? For Noah, definitively. For Eli, though? I'm not 100% sure. I would have loved more 'showing', instead of 'telling'. It was pretty fast-paced, in my opinion.
Noah's childhood was an aspect I wanted more informations about. He was basically a father to his younger siblings, their caretaker. Talking about what he really felt about his past would have given more depth to his character. There’s some unresolved trauma there, however it's manifested [I also got the impression it impacted his relationship with Eli, but that's just a thought]. Apart from a mention here and there, we didn’t get to understand his 'reality'.
However, I appreciated how Eli’s bond with his older sister was portrayed. They were really adorable together. She was always there for Eli, and I loved the way she supported his relationship with Noah without being judgmental. She's a good sister. Sadly, the same can't be said about Noah's younger brother, Ash. I didn't particularly like some of his actions, especially what he did right before Eli’s heat. Thankfully, he apologized to Eli and Noah -- his speech was cute, though, and I sensed how he cared for Noah -- but he came off as an ungrateful brat at first.
All in all, I definitively enjoyed this story. For those who want to give omegaverse a shot, I do recommend this story very much!
I received a copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews, and this is my honest review.
“When Eli was as covered with his pheromones as he could possibly be—short of Noah fucking him right there in the front hallway—Noah dropped his head onto Eli’s shoulder.
“I hate him,” he murmured, ragged and worn. “I’ve never hated anyone before, but I fucking hate him.”
Eli stroked Noah’s curls with a tentative hand.
“I know, sweetheart. I’m sorry.”
“You lied,” Noah accused, though there was no real heat in it. “Before.”
“I did.” Eli wrapped his other arm around Noah’s waist, holding Noah against him. The angle was awkward with their height difference, but Noah didn’t care. “I didn’t want him to—to ruin things just by existing, I guess.”
Noah huffed a breath against Eli’s neck, his hands landing on Eli’s hips.
“You think I can’t handle your history?”
“I think you shouldn’t have to, this early on.”

Safety info, content warnings and tropes down below.
I did end up enjoying most of this book, but I had to adjust my expectations a bit after starting it. I expected more of the forbidden angst you usually get with student/teacher, and from the books I've read from this author previously, I was not expecting the near constant spice from start to finish. I suspect this might be a big reason for many to love it, but I prefer more plot than sex.
The main characters were incredibly cute together and had great chemistry, and I was definitely rooting for them. It also had all the omegaverse goodness I love, like scenting and nesting.
Thankfully a bit of drama and plot did kick in near the end of the book which made it more fun and interesting for me, giving a break from the hanky panky.
Sex vs plot is definitely a personal preferance thing so I'm not holding it against the author, but talking about how the characters are scared of being introduced to parents several times throughout the book and then just not including that meeting is criminal.
Not my favorite from this author but still a mostly strong story, especially if you love lots of spice. My favorite part was their dynamic, with a golden retriever, confident alpha student and a sweet omega professor.
Thank you to the author and GRR for the ARC.

“Then can I ask you something completely inappropriate?” Eli grinned at him, mischief in his brown eyes. “Why the hell not?” “You ever taken someone’s virginity?” Noah asked, before he could think better of it. Fortune favored the bold, right?
What Noah ate up even more was the little flash of possessiveness Eli revealed when someone tried to slip Noah their number after all. Eli let out the cutest omega growl Noah had ever heard, death-glaring at the beta woman who’d dared try to pick Noah up. But Eli’s growling cut off abruptly when Noah grinned and told her he’d actually just started seeing someone, his death glare replaced by a sweet, embarrassed flush.
He was bold but not arrogant. Confident but still eager to please. It was an irresistible combination, and Eli was just … done even trying to resist it.
“I’d like to be your boyfriend,” Noah told him immediately, keeping up his steady streak of having absolutely zero chill.

OMG I loved this so much. I need more of this series, and I need Grae Bryan to keep writing omegaverse romances because this was so damn hot and sexy and sweet and all the fucking nice things. [these two have fried my brain, possible unhinged review ahead]
Let’s start off with virgin Alpha. So. Stupidly. HOT. And Noah is just the cutest golden retriever ever, lots of enthusiasm and eagerness, just wants to please Eli and smell him and scent him and lick him and ughhhhh.
I loved their dynamic, loved the sweetness of their relationship, the care, the possessive growling.
Ok yeah, all my saved quotes are filthy (are we really surprised?) because this was mostly the hottest omegaverse smut ever, but it was also super sweet and adorable and just the smallest touch of drama to keep things interesting.
Overeager had me all kinds of giddy, smiling and fanning myself, and I really enjoyed every minute of it.
I’m so curious about the rest of the characters and their stories, so can’t wait to read more of this series!

The most adorable ABO book I've ever read 😍
I absolutely loved how Noah was such a soft Alpha! His insecurities around his inexperience were so refreshing compared to the usual Alpha macho dominance and I also love how his Alpha friend Spencer was equally free with expressing his emotions.
Eli was his own worst enemy but the way he found his confidence was so fun to see. I loved his cat, Deadly, and the way he got so flustered at literally everything.
I'm already obsessed with this cast of characters too. I can't wait for Chase's book next, but I'm also impatient for Spencer's story and also Ash and Ryder...

Yes. Yes. Yes yes yes yes. Yesssssssss. Now this is what I’m talking about. This book? Chef’s kiss. I’m so glad Grae was brave and wrote this. And I’m extremely glad that she was brave enough to mention mpreg. You heard it here folks, mpreg is possible in this world. It doesn’t happen in this book at all, but it’s talked about. The MC’s talk about the omega being on birth control, and they talk about not wanting children. That’s good enough for me. As much as I love mpreg, I’m still content if I at least know it could happen to characters in this world. Good for you Grae. And good for me.
So our omega MC, Eli, he’s on vacation. He’s excited because his divorce is finally final. While he’s hanging out in the hot tub on his little cabin’s deck, our alpha MC, Noah, starts talking to him from his own hot tub at the cabin next door. Noah asks if he can come over so they can hang out. Noah isn’t trying to be all sly or anything. He’s just super happy and vibrant and social. He just wants to talk. But he did not take into account that Eli would smell sooooooo good. Noah has a very sensitive nose, so he doesn’t get intimate with people. Anyway so Noah basically asks if Eli will take his virginity. And he does. And it was so sweet and amazing. Noah has to leave early because of an emergency back home, but he leaves his number for Eli to call him. He had such a good time with Eli, and he already likes him so much. He wants to keep seeing him. Eli doesn’t text him right away, but that’s okay because they’ll see each other soon. In one of Noah’s lectures at University. Where Eli is the professor. Oh yeahhhhhhh.
I will always eat up a student x professor romance. I love them and this was no different. It was a nice twist because Noah was like so what if he’s my professor? I want him. He was very persistent. Eli tried to do what he thought was right, but how could he when it felt so perfect with Noah. It all works out.
The sex was so good. We had knotting, scenting, and a heat in this book. Grae fed us so good. She got so many cool points from me for this book
I’m so excited for this series. I’m already ready for the second book. And I’m constantly questioning who the pairing will be for the third book. I can’t wait.

To celebrate his divorce being finalized and tenure within his reach, Eli rents a cabin in the mountains for some celebratory alone time. What he doesn’t expect is the gorgeous young alpha next door, or the hot and steamy night they share.
Only things go a bit sideways though when a few days later the young alpha, Noah, shows up as a student in one of his lectures, and he’s very persistent in wanting more with Eli despite their new dynamic.
Honestly, Eli and Noah were both absolute cinnamon rolls! & I loved how sweet their story was, and the steaminess sure didn’t hurt either 😜
I’m such a sucker for these types of omegaverses and loved Overeager so much!

To celebrate his divorce being finalized and tenure within his reach, Eli rents a cabin in the mountains for some celebratory alone time. What he doesn’t expect is the gorgeous young alpha next door, or the hot and steamy night they share.
Only things go a bit sideways though when a few days later the young alpha, Noah, shows up as a student in one of his lectures, and he’s very persistent in wanting more with Eli despite their new dynamic.
Honestly, Eli and Noah were both absolute cinnamon rolls! & I loved how sweet their story was, and the steaminess sure didn’t hurt either 😜
I’m such a sucker for these types of omegaverses and loved Overeager so much!

Okay so 😂 this book is 80% steam, 20% plot—and that 20% was just an excuse to bring us right back to the steam, the heat, the rut, the scenting, the nesting, the mating bite… 🐺🔥 Basically the Omegaverse starter kit.
Did I mind? HAHA hell nooo. 🫠 Every page was either horny, sweet, or both—and I ate it right up.
From the get-go, I was sucked in. Eli is freshly divorced at 34, a little bruised, a little insecure, and trying to celebrate his singlehood at a cabin retreat (read: hot tub therapy 🍷). Enter Noah—the golden-haired, boyish Alpha next door in his early twenties. He’s supposed to be on a trip with a friend but got ditched, so he shyly asks if he can join Eli in the hot tub.🥹
And oh my God, the connection. The small talk turns cozy, vulnerable, then flirty, and then Noah casually drops that he’s a virgin because his nose is too sensitive to just get it on with just any one. Eli can’t believe it. Noah just asks straight out how Eli feels about “helping him out” with that. Bold. Sweet. Melty. And Belleeeeeeee👀—if you’re reading this review, I want you to know it was everything you said and more. That hot tub scene was perfection.
And then we get the nest scene. 🤣
“Baby?” Noah’s big hand cupped Eli’s chin. “Tell me what’s wrong. We’ll fix it.”
“Nest,” Eli mumbled, biting worriedly at his lip.
Classic Omega meltdown—he’s worried his nest isn’t ready. Noah? Absolute Alpha gold star. He just unzips a giant duffel bag full of “treasures” he’s brought over. First a fleece blanket (slept in for weeks, unwashed). Fine. Whatever. Makes sense. But then… the gym clothes. UNWASHED. And Eli is snatching them up like holy relics. I was HOWLING. 😂 At this point I was silently praying: “Please, please not the socks. Don’t you dare pull out dirty socks or briefs out of that bag.” (Blessedly, he didn’t.)
So yeah—it was hot, it was sweet, and it was also unintentionally hilarious. Honestly, peak Omegaverse.
✨Nesting ✅ Heat cycles ✅ Scenting ✅ Mating bite ✅ Alpha rut ✅ Proper Omega/Alpha dynamic locked and loaded.
• Noah → strong yet gentle Alpha, dominant but caretaker
• Eli → insecure, freshly-divorced Omega who just wants to feel safe and wanted. Vulnerable in the best way.
• Side cast → Noah’s friends + brother? Cool. Wouldn’t mind reading their books.
• Richard (the ex) → a despicable turd. No redeeming qualities. The kind of ex you want to launch into the sun.
✔️ Instant chemistry—fast paced .
✔️ The balance of cozy + hot
If you’re here for angst-lite, nest-heavy, scent-drenched Omegaverse fun, this book delivers. It’s not pretending to be anything else, and that’s exactly why it works.

THANK YOU GRAE. THANK YOU
now this is what i want when i say that these authors NEED to do some world building. it doesn’t need to be complex or particularly long. it just needs to make sense.
and this, ladies, gentlemen and gentlefriends, makes sense.
wonderful introduction to the world. amazing world. amazing setting. amazing characters.
however, i really hope chase isn’t actually a beta. IM SORRY OKAY BUT BETAS ARE BORING IN OMEGAVERSE I SAID WHAT I SAID
also, this unfortunately cant reach 5 stars because grae really needs to go back and write slightly longer books. im talking like 50ish pages more. but i’ve finally realized what was bothering me lately and why i keep feeling like there is something missing in her latest releases: they’re shorter than they used to be and they aren’t developed enough.
(i am still waiting for a fae series but i guess i’ll cope)

“Can I scent mark you?” he found himself asking. Jesus. So much for not jumping the gun. Eli spluttered at him for a minute or so, which was pretty fucking cute, before he gathered his words. “What? No. Jesus. We can’t—” “Just a little,” Noah told him. “I’m kind of losing it here.”
And really … a one-time thing? With the connection they’d had? Yeah fucking right.
“I’d like to be your boyfriend,” Noah told him immediately, keeping up his steady streak of having absolutely zero chill.
“I’m going to be so good to you, Eli. You won’t regret it. I won’t let you.”

Overeager is an entertaining forbidden romance between omega professor Eli and his alpha student Noah. I thoroughly enjoyed this story from beginning to end. It was so much fun watching Eli and Noah fall quickly for each other and how that attraction grew into a sweet and endearing love story. Additionally, the element of professor and student added extra forbidden dynamics that only made the story and their overall relationship more compelling.
Overall, this is an enjoyable, low-angst romance that I couldn’t get enough of. The characters are fun, and an omegaverse premise always makes for an exciting read. I look forward to the next installment, which seems just as intriguing as this one.
*** I reviewed a complimentary copy of this story.**

Absolutely loved this one! Eli and Noah were literally so freaking sweet together. Grae Bryan has quickly became an auto buy author for me and when I saw she was doing an omegaverse I got so excited! This one had it all, heats, scent marking, ruts, professor/student, secret relationship, steamy first times, knotting, nesting and age gap. I’m already ready for the next one!

These two are sugary sweet. Absolutely adorable.
The way Noah constantly would check in on Eli to make sure he was doing everything right as a virgin alpha was so cute.
....
"How do you liked to be touched, Eli?"
"Will you let me, Eli? Let me taste you like I've been dying to?"
"I can't believe I was inside this tiny space. I shouldn't be able to fit. You're so little, baby."
"Baby? Tell me what's wrong. We'll fix it."
"I'm so lucky, baby. So fucking lucky."

Cute omega professor/alpha student romance with A LOT of steamy moments.
Look. I’m not a huge fan of ABO romances. This whole “being attracted to each other because my pheromones say so and there’s slick and whatnot” is not really for me, because it usually means that the rest of the relationship falls a bit short. But I get the appeal - it IS hot, being more or less mindless because of your primal desires, and we get A LOT of feverishly hot sex scenes here.
And the whole ABO universe is well done, it’s very much part of everyday life, and you even get “special holidays” when you or your partner are in heat (or in rut). So that part I liked.
What I also liked was the professor/student trope (it IS one of the hotter ones after all…), and the reverse dynamics (the professor is the recently divorced, sweet omega, and the student a very sunshine-y virgin alpha).
What fell short, was - as anticipated- the relationship. I honestly couldn’t tell by the end of the book what Eli (the professor) had in common with Noah (the student), except for “Noah isn’t Richard the evil ex” and - ofc - “his pheromones smell good” and “he’s taking good care of me”.
So yeah. While I enjoyed it, it didn’t quite hit the spot for me. Still, I’ll round my 3.5 stars up, because despite all my niggles, I enjoyed the writing and the drama 😬

4.5 stars. This was surprisingly sweet. And I will be trying more by this author.
I'm not one for forbidden romances but this was so lovely and thankfully, the forbidden aspect didn't end up in stupid drama.

A softie, cute af, overenthusiastic, crybaby alpha who's always super eager to please his older omega who also happens to be his professor? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!!
The final verdict? I. LOVED. IT! This is how, ladies and ladies, a perfect omegaverse romance is written. The world building was fine af. The characters were adorable as hell and even with the most cliche-est of the cliche plots, this book felt like a warm, cozy hug. Where do i sign up to get myself Chase/Prof Burke and Ash/Ryder/Spencer's books? I need them in my hands like yesterday, ma'am

I really really really enjoyed this book. Dare even say I loved this book. Mostly because of the main characters and their chemistry. They were chefs kiss!!!
Ugh Noah!!!!!! I loved him sooooooo much. Don’t get me wrong I loved Eli as well. He was sweet and such a good match for Noah. But Noah was in a whole other category. I’m sure he’s made my list of one of my most favorite MCs ever!! He was just the absolute perfect alpha. I loved how he was confident yet insecure about things. And his insecurity wasn’t annoying but honestly so adorable and endearing!! He checked with Eli when he wasn’t sure about something. Like if he wasn’t doing something right and he just always put Eli first!! Ughh. Such a great character. He was also a virgin which made him 100 times better. I appreciated that he wasn’t just an expert in bed despite being a virgin like a lot of people seem to write. Even though it was still a great experience for both of them he still had awkward moments since he has never had sex before.
The plot was great as well. I was engaged the entire time and I’m glad it didn’t end like most teacher/student books seem to end. I also loved Faith. It’s hard to find good female representation in MM books these days.
I’m very happy Chase’s book is next. I’m very intrigued by that. I most likely won’t be reading Spencer’s book though. Not only is he a huge manwhore but he were given hints that his will probably be a MMM with Ash and Ryder which bums me out because I would love to read a friends to lovers story about Ash and Ryder without manwhore Spencer in it. But alas I am not the author so it’s not my call lol.
NO CHEATING (between MCs but Eli was cheated on by his ex husband)
OM DRAMA (Eli’s ex causes some issues but neither MC stands for it)
NO THIRD ACT BREAK UP
VIRGIN MC (alpha is virgin)
AGE GAP 21/34 (omega is older)
NO MPREG BETWEEN COUPLE
HEA (mated and living together)

This was such a great and fun read for me. I really enjoyed this world I got to step into. I loved Eli and Noah so much! I loved Noah's golden retriever, very eager personality and it was great to see him be smitten with Eli and worship him so fully. Eli was the perfect match for Noah, he could guide him, but he could also help moderate his energy.
This book felt like a warm hug, but it also had great heat to it, while keeping the story lighthearted. This was basically my favorite type of book.
Pick this up if you like Alphas, Omegas and finding your mate accidentally while you're on a mini vacation.

This was a super enjoyable low angst read. It was also a super fast read for me too, as I could not put it down.
I loved all the scenting in this! I loved the couple - they were super cute together and the sexy times were HOT. I really enjoyed that there wasn't some major drama at the end. There was a little bit, but it wasn't crazy like some books get.
I'm looking forward to more stories set in this world!

It's official: Grae Bryan is my favourite omegaverse author of all time. I grinned like a loon the whole time I was reading this. It is SO sweet, it's funny and low angst with amazing spice and the most adorable cinnamon roll couple you will ever read.
Eli and Noah are just the most wonderful characters and together their relationship is tender, gentle and incredibly loving. Yes there is a forbidden aspect of the professor x student relationship - which is done really well! But they're both mature and thoughtful characters who are just totally feral for each other.
And the SPICE, people. Noah is our consent king and full of praise for his lovely, needy omega. These two just can't get enough of each other, and neither can I! Grae also treats us to both a heat AND a rut, complete with heat nesting and copious amounts of slick. And the SCENTING. This book is full of scenting. It's hot, it's cute, and I'm obsessed!
As always, Grae has included the best found family with hilarious side characters whose stories I can't wait to read! They're all so well rounded - men and women - and you can't help be enjoy spending time with them while you read.
Overeager blew me away. I can't wait to have it on my shelves, and anyone who enjoys omegaverse, cinnamon roll MCs, low angst romances or found family should absolutely read this immediately.
Can you improve upon perfection? You'll have to wait for book two to find out!

Overeager was my first omegaverse story and now I know I’ve been missing out on a whole world, give me recs please!
This book felt like a warm blanket on a cold winter day, so full of love and understanding I was melting halfway through. Honestly, where do I sign up to get my own Noah? That man was a walking rainbow under the sun. And Eli, my precious cinnamon roll, he was pure sweetness from start to finish. Again, Grae Bryan ate and left no crumbs.
This is definitely my comfort book from now on, I can't stop thinking about them :(

Something about this author's writing just has me hooked. Dunno how to explain it.
Will say, I loved how all the characters were so different and even the alphas weren't all growl-y and domineering. Super sweet omegaverse tbh and I'm looking forward to reading about all the couples (perhaps a throuple? unless I'm reading into it too much) to come in the future!
