Caging Fire: Crimson Camo Series Book One
They thought she was prey. They never expected her fire.
Rowan Mills has survived by keeping one truth buried—she is an omega, rare and coveted, forced to suppress her nature in a world where discovery means possession. For years, she’s hidden in plain sight, clinging desperately to her freedom.
Until one routine checkpoint changes everything.
Exposed to an elite alpha military unit, Rowan is captured and claimed by four men who could not be more different—or more dangerous. Captain Cade Green, their commanding officer, is all sharp control and ruthless discipline, a man who demands obedience and accepts no defiance. His brother, Staff Sergeant Killian Green, is a scarred giant ruled by instinct, feared for his ferocity yet harboring a quiet, aching tenderness. Lieutenant Talon Grayson—a rare shifter—struggles beneath a fragile veneer of composure, the wolf within clawing to answer Rowan’s call. And Staff Sergeant Ryker Bennett is the unit’s tempter—shameless, dirty-mouthed, and endlessly teasing, a man who turns sin into a game Rowan is never sure she’ll win.
Forced into service alongside them, Rowan vows not to break, not to bend, not to surrender. Desire becomes a weapon, submission a battlefield, and Rowan finds herself torn between resisting their dominance and surrendering to the fire they ignite. She is determined to escape before she loses herself—and before the walls she’s built around her heart crumble. Because deep inside, locked away and waiting, are secrets even she never knew she carried…secrets that could change everything.
Dark. Addictive. Possessive. This is a story of control, power, and a woman who was never meant to submit.

hmmm
I understand this is the first book so I’m sure the characters will develop throughout the story but out of the four men, only one was likable- Killian. Cade- manipulated her emotions and controlled her constantly with his alpha bark even in sexual situations. Ryker would just laugh in her face constantly. Talon wasn’t around her too much in the story because of his situation he was going through. I feel like towards the end of the book they should have had some redeemable qualities for me to want to continue this series but I’m really not rooting for anyone at this point. The Fmc starts out seeming like she wants to be independent but the whole time she just takes what they give her which makes her seem so weak and again does not make me want to continue on with this series. I love smutty books but I was turned off too much by the characters (except Killian)

El machismo de los alfas fue más fuerte que yo.
Normalmente estoy acostumbrada a que se presente el micro machismo en libros omegaverse, pero acá me dio el doble de bronca porque la protagonista sabía lo que estaba mal y trató de pelear por sus derechos humanos BÁSICOS.
De no ser por lo misoginos y pelotudos que eran los alfas de Rowan (excepto Killian🩷), porque estaban todo el tiempo queriendo castigarla por pelear por su libertad y humanidad, me hubiese gustado bastante...
Otra cosa que recalco de Killian (además de ser el más hot), es que ella subrayó que él la miraba distinto a los demás✨️ La veía por como era y no con lujuria como los otros 3 alfas. Cade la quería controlar 24/7, Ryker se la quería poner 24/7, y Talon lo poco que la vio aunque "conectaron" un poco debido a su naturaleza, solo quería bdsm con ella 24/7
El final me gustó mucho, Rowan merecía que se presente la oportunidad de defenderse y dejar de sentirse impotente.
En fin, leeré el segundo cuando salga, con la esperanza que Rowan obtenga su venganza🎀
...
The alphas' sexism was too much for me.
I'm usually used to seeing micro machism in omegaverse books, but here it made me twice as angry because the FMC knew what was wrong and tried to fight for her BASIC human rights.
If it weren't for how misogynistic and idiotic Rowan's alphas were (except for Killian🩷), because they were constantly trying to punish her for fighting for her freedom and humanity, I would have liked it quite a bit...
Another thing I want to highlight about Killian (besides him being the hottest), is that she emphasized that he saw her differently than the others✨️ He saw her for who she was and not with lust like the other 3 alphas. Cade wanted to control her 24/7, Ryker wanted to have sex with her 24/7, and Talon, from what little he saw of her, even though they "connected" a bit due to their nature, only wanted BDSM with her 24/7.
I really liked the ending, Rowan deserved the opportunity to defend herself and stop feeling powerless.
Anyway, I'll read the second book when it comes out, hoping Rowan gets her revenge🎀

I could cry I disliked this so much. From the get go, ALL it is is insta-lust. I skimmed the entire book within a few hours just out of sheer curiosity and wish I hadn’t 🙃 TikTok book recommendations don’t lead me astray often, but it in fact did me dirty with this one.

If you ever get the chance to read this book, honestly, skip it. There’s another one almost identical to it, and while it’s not amazing either, it’s at least slightly better (Feral Omega by Leonore Rosewood).
The heroine keeps saying she feels like a pet, someone who exists only to satisfy their desires… and she’s right. No one talks to her, no one cares about her feelings or her life; it’s all about how she needs to adapt. And what do they do to adapt to her? Absolutely nothing. There’s zero emotional connection, zero tenderness (except for the lastima pages with Killian) If you want a story about alphas who only hook up, cool—this is your book. But if you’re hoping for even a hint of humanity from these guys, you won’t find it here.

No woman Rights
Basically, like in the 1800s before women had rights, the men dominated everything, and many things didn’t line up. For a dark romance, it’s not romance; it’s just lust. There is no love, just a fulfillment of a libido. These men use their “barks” for everything, making you do whatever they want, and you have no say.

Ok, so here's the deal- very dark elements in this book, and the beginning up to around the halfway mark DOES have MMCs that feel pretty irredeemable. That adjusts a little after the halfway point with the author knowing the MMCs need some character redemption to be appealing, so there's a lot of intrapersonal pages of reflection for main FMC where you can sort of get a better idea as to why it feels like she's passively allowing all these things to happen to her.
This was a fun ride, with some dark elements, but the emotional exploration felt underdeveloped for me. I like how there are some dystopian elements, including the fact that the entire alpha/omega system is actually a relatively new thing, and we get to see how a militarized society handles it.

Super fun read.
A little dark. Military elements. Dystopian world. Omegaverse.
A deeply defiant FMC, and 4 very different possessive, controlling, HUGE Alphas.
Rowan has been hiding her Omega status her entire life, then she gets caught! All she wants to do is life her life, and now that is turned completely upside down!
Cade, Killian, Ryker and Talon are our dear Alphas.
Cade. The neat freak, controlling Alpha. Has an Alpha bark to put the rest to shame. Questionable morals. But we definitely see a bit of his caring nature slip thru.
Killian. The gentle giant himself. Huge guy. HUGE. Injured. With his own trauma. But he falls first. He wants to care for Rowan, stumbling a little, but being there in all the ways that count.
Ryker. He is the one who finds her, and is the jokester of the group. Always pushing buttons. Always pushing boundaries.
And Talon. Our shifter. He is battling his own inner beast, and some trauma. Most people are afraid of him, but Rowan…
Loved these characters and now different each MMC is form the other. That cliffhanger was brutal! Can’t wait to see what happens next!

See well here is the thing…..this is a quick read that is entertaining, but is it good??? Meh? I think I’m just not into the whole power imbalance thing and making a person property. This book does that. After being in bidding for years an suppressing her omega genes, she is discovered and claimed by 4 alphas. She is basically a prisoner and they don’t treat her very well, just wanting to claim and use her. Her body is all for it- because biology- but her logical brain knows better. I like why choose books where the girl is worshiped and cherished, not only claimed and used. This was good, but I don’t think I want to read book 2.

November 21, 2025Not as good as was hoping
Love omega/alpha books but this was just did not hit the mark for me. Main FMC feelings are completely over looked, the alphas just treat her as a sex toy and when she dares to have an opinion or an emotion they don't like they just spank her and totally over look everything she has said, I like more fight with my FMC, and them telling her what to wear, where to sit, when to eat and being sent to her room like child is to much. Unless the alphaholes change in the second book and the FMC grows a spine l will be giving it a miss

no just no. cool concept, not executed well. if i were to blindly guess the gender of the author i would say male. I had to force myself to finish this book, i was hoping for character development. i get the alpha crap, that’s why i was reading this book, but these men are insufferable jerks. almost no bodily autonomy for the protagonist, and this is from her “mates”. well written, good story line, horrendously awful male characters who made me want to puke. i’ve definitely read worse, if this is what you like that’s fine. but i wouldn’t recommend.

amazing!
Rowan is impossible not to love—strong, vulnerable, unforgettable. And the men? Cade’s control, Killian’s feral tenderness, Ryker’s dangerous charm, Talon’s barely leashed beast… I couldn’t stop turning pages.
The collar scene wrecked me. The heat is savage, the emotion raw. If you love dark romance, military alphas, and a why-choose that ruins you in the best way—this book is it.

A perfect why choose where you want all the men! They all have their own personality that fits them perfectly and makes you wishing they weren’t fictional characters.
A man in charge, a gentle giant, a cocky asshole you love, and a mysterious one that draws you in for more. Sign me up! 🥵
And Rowan is the FMC you love and curse at, at the same time! But that ending leaves you WANTING more. I can’t wait for book 2!

I absolutely loved this book! Spicy, hot and thrilling!
It draws you right into the storyline and depicts Rowan's struggles as a newly outed Omega in such a harsh and hostile environment wonderfully.
I hope to see more emotional development with her Alphas in book two! I want to see them all come together in the future 😊
And ewww, Dr. Zolkos is truly creepy.
After that ending, I truly can't wait for the next book!

Hardly any like able characters. I would say it has an interesting concept but the guys in this sucked. They were horrible to her and don’t feel an ounce of regret. She had a whole depressive episode because her one and only friend told her he wasn’t gonna be friends with her anymore and all they had to say to her is that they will punish her and called her a brat. I’m sorry what!!!! I hope that in the next book there’s better character development. Overall would not recommend.

So I will say Cade and Ryker are still irking me at this point and I’m hoping it’s something that gets addressed more as the plot continues sooner rather then later). This is a dystopian omegaverse future and I found the world building super interesting but I can def understand how the first half could be a turn off for a lot of people.
Still, I’m excited for the next one!

loved this book!
I really enjoyed Caging Fire! The story pulled me in right away and kept me hooked. My favorite character was Cade — I loved his personality and how real he felt throughout the book. He’s strong, loyal, and has just the right mix of confidence and heart. Overall, it was a great read and I’d definitely recommend it!

DNF at 33%. Why is this a book? I’m so over the whole girl against girl and the “super” independent strong girl but the moment she gets around a guy she loses all sense of self. Then this book adds the element of just plain force and no developing thoughts past the enlistment of omegas to be mindless sex servants.

I saw this recommendation on my TiK Tok, and this is the first dark romance book I have ever read…. I AM OBSESSED!!
I love each unique personality of the 4 MMC’s and the dynamic they bring to the story!! I finished the book all in one sitting and can’t wait for Book 2!

Once I started this book… I could not put it down!
What’s better than 1 controlling and manipulative MMC? Four of them!!
Cade is by far my favorite and I can’t wait to read book 2!
