The North Wolf's Omega: A BWWM Dark Mafia Omegaverse Paranormal Wolf Shifter Viking Romance
He's the monster I saved. Now he says I belong to him.My world is one of scalpels and science. As an ER doctor, I impose order on chaos. I save lives.
Then he bleeds out on my table—a giant of a man with impossible biology and ancient Viking tattoos inked across his skin. He's a patient I shouldn't be able to save, but I do. My reward is to be drugged, bound, and dragged from my life.
He's Gunnar Rask, the North Wolf. A ruthless Alpha Jarl who rules the city's shadows with an iron fist. He says I'm a debt owed to his clan. A complication he must control. I'm his prisoner in a gilded cage fifty stories high, a captive in a brutal paranormal mafia war I never knew existed.
He’s a killer. A monster. And the only man who can protect me from the rival wolf who wants to claim me for his own.
I am a king forged in betrayal and blood. My father died for the weakness of love. I rule with an iron fist because a Jarl cannot afford a heart.
But this human doctor… this Omega… her scent awakens a beast I have kept chained for two decades. Her defiance stirs a possessive fire I refuse to acknowledge. She is a liability. A weakness my enemies will exploit. But the wolf inside me knows only one Mine.
To protect her, I must keep her. To keep her, I must break every rule that has kept me alive. As my rival closes in and her own impossible biology awakens, the battle for my city becomes a war for her soul. They say an Alpha’s heart is his ruin, but to lose her would be the end of my world.
The North Wolf's Omega is a steamy, full-length standalone BWWM Dark Mafia Omegaverse romance. Packed with forced proximity, fated mates, a touch-her-and-you-die Alpha, and a brilliant, defiant Omega, this novel is perfect for readers who love their paranormal romance with a gritty, modern Viking edge. HEA guaranteed.

Disappointed in the North Wolf's Omega
I tried to give this book a chance, even after reading the reviews; I was wrong. There is a lot of repetition in the story. There were times the story was disjointed, and the POV could be improved. Overall the story had promise, but wasn't executed well.

NOT a BWWM book Obviously AI written
This story must have been written using AI and not very effectively either. Sure, the writing style is nice, even the subject matter itself was interesting, but those two things does not a story make. First, this is NOT I repeat NOT a BWWM romance. The heroine, Isla, is described as going pale multiple times. The only thing close to calling her a black woman was saying she had dark curls. Which, let’s face it, does not equate to the her being black. That was very disappointing since the cover clearly has a dark complexioned black woman on the cover. Next, the sequence of events kept changing. For example, there’s a fight scene where the hero changes into a wolf when the hero narrates, but when the heroine narrates the hero has not changed. It goes back and forth like that as if two versions of the fight scene were written and somehow there was a mix up and they both were added to the book. It was very confusing.
Also, as one reviewer wrote, things happen in the book and we don’t know how they happened making you feel as if scenes are missing. That part was frustrating. There is way too much repetition. The phrases “it smelled of ozone…”(what is ozone and how does it smell), like a change in barometric pressure, and “bare feet slapped against the polished concrete floor” was used dozens of times. Gunner’s description of his father dying with his enemies blade in his throat was mentioned so often, I finally stop reading about 85% of the way through the book. It felt like a story filler. I could go on but hopefully you get the idea.
In my opinion, this story felt like a not so slick way to get money from black women. The book is marketed as BWWM W when it’s clearly not. I looked to see how many stories the Author had and this is the only one . They’re also isn’t a publisher listed. I write romance stories so I know even if the author is self publishing there should be a publisher listed. This feels like a cash grab by Amazon just to get money. This story was published 10/21/2025. Ava Brown has a similar Viking story, no publisher, no other stories. It was published 11/24/25. T.S Wilmot (Fjord Lord’s Captive). Viking story marketed as BWWM with no reference to the heroines blackness, has a similar story about Vikings. No publisher, no other stories written, published 11/8/25. Naomi Ross has a story with the same premise. She has no other stories, no publisher listed and the story (Blood & Heather) was published 11/11/25.
I could go on. Either Amazon is complicit or not vetting their stories very well. Someone is churning out half baked, Ai written stories catering towards black women just to get money and I don’t like it one bit. I think stories written by AI should be flagged as such and the Publisher or person behind the story should be easily identified. Who is the W-2 going to???
There are REAL writers out there toiling away to give readers a good story. They are paying editors and using beta readers to ensure their work is sound and their voices are being drowned out by someone or some company taking the easy way out by churning out AI written books with so much repetition it reads like a skipped record.They are exploiting the BWWM genera and basically stealing money from readers by portraying their stories as something it’s not. Amazon is allowing it to happen.

This tried to be a good story about a werwolf meeting his mate in a human doctor that works on him when he is brought to her ER.
The story is filled with inconsistencies. It is marketed as a BWWM romance. At no time is there a description given of the MFC that lets you know she is a woman of color other than her dark curls and brown eyes. This could be any ethnicity. And there are several instances when we are told she turns pale.
There is a fight scene between the MMC and his challenger. This is told from the perspective of the Jarl and the doctor. It is confusing and frustrating because they seem to be describing two different fights. He describes a fight that starts with weapons and turns into a fight between two wolves when they devolve from human to wolf form. She describe a fight between two men in which she notices a weakness displayed by the challenger in his left shoulder. Somehow both of these perspectives are presented to the reader and they do not mesh, but the scene is played out back and forth and it almost seems like two different people wrote the fight scene and both were included.
There is a point early on where the Jarl becomes convinced that he has traitors within his own clan as his security is breached, and could only be done so by someone with insider knowledge. Despite calling for a discovery of these traitors, this loose end is never cleared up. We are never told who gave up his security to his enemy, and how they were dealt with. The topic is just dropped.
There is a lot of repetition . We must be told what seems like a hundred times about the knife in his father's throat,the two decades he has spent making sure he does not make the same mistake made by his father, he is always banging his hand/fist on the table, and his singular smell, as well as hers. Over and over and over. And her dead fiancé was killed in a parking lot for $15.00 is repeated frequently as well.
Also it seems like someone wants to prove to the reader that they have knowledge of scientific medical terms. It seems forced as Isla keeps reverting to this knowledge instead of dealing with what her eye can see, her body can feel and her brain can identify as different from her knowledge base but still true. For some reason she seems hell bent on acquiring an electron microscope. An ER trauma doctor does not really have a use for that piece of equipment in the normal course of treating patients, and it costs hundreds of thousand up to millions of dollars. It cannot be used for live tissue studies, and there is no indication that she has any research study background. So is this just an expensive piece of equipment that the writer has heard about but does not understand it function?
After the confrontation, Isla give Gunnar some sage advice for how to proceed going forward, but while he wants to show no mercy for the remaining members of his enemy's clan, he seems to have forgotten that there must have been at least one if not more than one traitor within his own. Disloyalty within his own people seems like a huge breech that a clan leader would not forget.

*****Spoilers*****
Long review short, this was more a 3.5 but I was engaged in the story from start to finish so I went up instead of down. Isla is an ER doctor who patches Alpha wolf Gunnar, the jarl of his clan. As thanks for her efforts, she's kidnapped by Gunnar and works as a physician in his penthouse. Isla wants to leave but Gunnar won't let her, his enemies are stalking her home and the hospital where she works, or did work before she was snatched by Gunnar's people. Gunnar spends the vast majority of the book clinging to a hard lesson he learned from his father who died with a knife in his throat for what is inexplicably tied to the love his father had for his mother. It's ridiculous this logic. For her part, Isla uses her logic to carry her through her situation and doesn't panic but endures with strength through everything that happens to her in the book.
Some issues were the plot lines that are brought up but never materialize or are never explained. Isla for all she knows is human but starts to develop deeper senses and goes into heat while in the hands of Gunnar's enemy. Gunnar and said enemy fight to death while she's in heat which is supposedly coming to it's apex only for Gunnar to bite her and no more information is put forth about it. It's just gone? I don't know. Another I don't know that isn't revealed is who the traitor in Gunnar's clan that was providing the temporary codes that overrode his system at crucial times in the book. The romance between Gunnar and Isla wasn't what I expected, more a confusing mish mash of interactions that anything truly felt or believable. Scenes and events jump without a bridge in between so I was left confused several times in the book.
Overall, it was a good story for the most part.

***DNF*** Let me start with the positive. This writer has so much potential. I enjoyed the writing style very much. It’s the reason I’m giving the book two stars as opposed to one. With that said… I’ve read some horrible books - extremely bad - all the way through. I had to DNF because this book has so many plot holes and assumptions, I couldn’t keep up. So, by page 60 I had to be done. Why? Well, on page 28 MFC begins to call him Gunnar, information she was never given. The timeline moves forward by a few days multiple times when after she gets kidnapped but she continues to say its only been 3 days. The times she explores the penthouse is contradictory. MFC depiction of the penthouse is different from MMC depiction of where things are so I don’t know if this is a three story penthouse or one floor. Many things are explained or introduced multiple times. ETC. ETC. ETC.
I hope the author decides to do a second edition to this book or re-release. There are good bones here, they just need more substance.

A great start to a new report series
What a great start to a new series. We meet a clever calculating doctor Isla Kendrick who helps an anonymous victim who enters her ER. She saves his life but although she does this, he is still a sick man and he has her kidnapped. The story starts here! The tension between the doctor and Gunnar, the North Wolf, is slow burning and powerful. Yet more is happening in this alien world that Dr. Isla Kendrick is unaware of but soon she will be needed by the North Wolf . A great read by L. Rachelle. I await with eagerness the next book!!

I’m sure most of these Published 2025 books are AI written or AI edited
I couldn’t finish it for the inconsistency from chapter to chapter , the mental reorganization I had to do kept throwing me out of the pacing and story. Like I would have to go back and read a chapter to confirm that was what we were talking about a few pages ago because now we are on something completely new yet nothing was finished ….. either AI used to right this or beta it or just AI laziness

Repetitive storytelling
This story was hard grasp.
-The author had the characters stating the same individual internal conflicts over and over.
-You can’t tell whose perspective you are reading most of the time because no clear indicators exists.
-the character development just wasn’t there beyond the surface of the Alpha male and physician.

DNF
I only made it to 12%, and that was a struggle. It’s soooooooo boring. I also didn’t like the FMC. I was really excited when I saw the cover, but the book didn’t match the cover, at all. Not planning on finishing this.

Storytelling was captivating! Gunnar and Isla were fated to meet. I did wonder why when she went into heat; Magnus did not claim her? Hoping they have pups in the HEA 🥰🥰
