Princes at War
A marriage alliance to end a war, that was the plan. Someone doesn't want that alliance to happen.
Omega prince Lashar of Echera would do anything to protect his people, even marry enemy prince Ardan and live in a nation where omegas are regarded as inferior. But on the way to the wedding, his party is attacked and only Lashar escapes into the forest, desperate to warn his king.
To end the war, alpha prince Ardan of Firol agreed to marry a foreigner and learn the ways of his country. But on the way to the wedding his messengers vanish, and no one appears at the rendezvous. He finds Lashar, but soon after another attack leaves the two princes alone in the woods. Ardan hoped his match would be tolerable. He wasn’t expecting Lashar to fill him with admiration, and desire.
With no help and only one cloak for warmth, Ardan and Lashar must rely on each other. But how can they trust each other when they both suspect the other's family of betrayal? Can peace, and their growing love, be saved?

A Joyfully Jay review.
3 stars
I struggled with Princes at War from the first page and felt like it never really reached its potential, despite an interesting premise. The novella was reported to be an omegaverse story, though the author does mention it is only mildly so. I would argue it wasn’t even mildly. We’re told Lashar is an omega, Ardan is an alpha, and their wedding contracts ensures a level of equality for Lashar, which is traditionally denied to the omegas of Firol. That’s it. The book doesn’t explore the issues facing omegas in Firol or delve too deeply into the traditional omegaverse concepts (aside from the mention of pregnancy thrown on at the end). There were also no new omegaverse ideas or explorations. So this was frustrating, but it didn’t factor highly into my rating. The bigger issues were an overall weak plot and a cast of uninspired characters.

This book opens with drama, as omega Prince Lashar, on his way to an arranged marriage with an alpha prince of the neighboring (and conquering) kingdom to cement an alliance, finds his retinue attacked. He escapes the ambush but loses his friends, and is then captured hiding in the forest by his fiance's party, under suspicion of having ambushed their envoys.
Further mayhem ends up with Lashar and his betrothed Prince Ardan pushed together, trying to survive and salvage the alliance between their nations.
There was a lot of story here for the length of the book. I enjoyed the read, which is somewhat instalove, not the potential enemies to lovers in any sense. There isn't room to explore possible complexities between these two men, but what there is was fun, with some heat and some action plot.

A fun, fast-paced novella of political intrigue. An arranged marriage goes awry when the betrothed princes of warring nations find themselves alone in the woods after an ambush on the way to their wedding.
This is an omegaverse story with mpreg, and my one criticism is that I would've liked to have seen more about the political and social ramifications of having what is essentially a "third sex," especially regarding royal lineages. There is a ton of excellent world-building for the length, and I'd happy read more stories set in this set of kingdoms.
