A Himbo for my Heat

Enduring Hearts #1

by Regitse Liljadorff, A.E. Jensen

They told me alphas were dangerous. They never warned me I’d fall in love with one.

As king, I’ve spent my life upholding balance in our kingdom, ensuring the safety of omegas by suppressing the alphas with the magic passed down through my bloodline. Alphas are dangerous, unpredictable, and ruled by instinct… or so I believed.

I’ve tried my best to stay clear of alphas, only using them during my heats. That is, until I needed an heir.

Enter Gus—an alpha unlike any I ever imagined. Gentle, devoted, endlessly patient—and yes, oddly obsessed with honey. He’s everything I shouldn’t want, but everything my heart refuses to let go of. What starts as duty quickly becomes desire, and soon, I’m willing to risk everything for a love that was never supposed to exist.

But falling for an alpha is one thing. Convincing my kingdom—and my royal advisors—is another.

A Himbo for My Heat is a heart-melting MM omegaverse romance with lots of heat, honey-sweet affection, epic knotting moments, mpreg, and a guaranteed HEA.

⭐️ 3 stars ⭐️

He was the king, and I was here for one reason and one reason only: to breed him and secure an heir for our kingdom. But, gods, why did he already feel like mine?

A fun take on omegaverse, where omegas are in charge instead of alphas, but it is about 99% smut 1% plot. Mostly hot smut, but also a bit repetitive.
Apart from the difference in power, the dynamic between alpha and omega is the same as a classic omegaverse. Typical roles, typical possessiveness. I liked the caretaking and Gus’ protectiveness of Seb, but the sex was really too similar each time.

Somehow, I knew that I would protect Seb with everything that I was, until my dying breath. Not because he was my king but because he was my omega.

I liked the characters, especially himbo & honey-lover Gus, but there wasn’t enough going on to really mark this as a great omegaverse romance. Fun and sexy, but unfortunately missing something extra to make it memorable.

“My king.”
“My alpha.”

I received a copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews, and this is my honest review.

4.25**** stars
Sebastian & Gus


First of all: I DEMAND JUSTICE for this book bc its title is just an awful choice. Not that it’s misleading (it’s quite true, actually) but i find it was way better than its silly title suggests.


the story is set in a kingdom where the omegas lead the hierarchy and alphas are deemed too dangerous in nature to be around them unsupervised. so families get torn apart and relationships between the two sexes are prohibited.

that is until omega king Sebastian meets his breeder and soon falls deeply for this apparently simple-minded alpha.

He gave me so much unexpected joy by just being himself.

intense, high on the feels and overall super heartwarming and hot ofc (tho it was a tiny bit sappy at the end there and the challenges were conveniently solved quickly). i liked their story so so much and i can’t wait do dive into the next book in the series right away.

opening (well, almost) scene: the love interest really wants some honey, so he climbs a tree to get it straight from the hive (he usually uses a stick for this and just licks it, apparently). then he gets attacked by bees or wasps (poor guy doesn’t know the difference), starts screaming, flailing his arms, running for his life and THAT is how the royal advisors find him while searching for an alpha for their omega king’s heat. then, at the palace, someone gives him a jar of honey, and he just sits there eating it with his fingers, hugging it to his chest and everything…

now tell me, how sick and twisted do you have to be to make WINNIE THE FUCKING POOH the love interest in your omegaverse smut novel???

LITERALLY WINNIE THE POOH I CAN’TTTTT





…good thing the mc also had a full jar of honey to slurp, lick, and dip fingers into 🙂

Oh, my this was so good. I just loved this.

Gus and Seb were so sweet. Pretty hot too!

In this world The King is an Omega, and what a sweet and fierce Omega he was. King Sebastian is looking for an Alpha to breed him. He needs to produce an heir for his kingdom.

Gus a sweet, v!rgin alpha, who is a farmer, finds his way to being King Sebastian's breeder! Sheesh, this was so good. Their meet-cute with honey obsessed Gus was adorable.

These two were so hot, sheesh, I love a good omega verse. I love a good heat and Mpreg too. This book had everything! Gus was so hot, sheesh!

They were so sweet together, I loved how they got to know each other. Their shyness and tenderness towards each other was so cute.

Gus was such a good man. He showed Seb that he could have more, that they could be more. The gifts for him had me swooning. He showed him what life could be life while still being King.

“I’d just had sex for the first time, with not only the most beautiful man I’d ever met, but the king.”

I love the found family in this as well, the other characters were so great. I hope we get to hear from more of them.

“Breed me, Alpha.” “Oh, you’ll get it, my sweet little king. I’ll fill you up. I’ll breed a baby into you.”

My heart hurt for these guys towards the end. I'm so glad they were able to stand up and make a change!

This was really good.

Both authors work stunningly together.

So thankful for this arc

Review:
I really enjoy Omegaverse stories and from the blurb this one seemed right up my alley. Admittedly it did take me a while to get into the story but when I did I ultimately really enjoyed it.

Both of the MC's were great characters but I especially liked Seb. As the King he has the world on his shoulders but doesn't let it stop him from stepping out of tradition, finding love and creating the kind of world he wants for his people.

The longing and the pining between the MCs was written so well and my heart broke for both Gus and Seb during the story. The book was also a lot spicier than I expected, but still left plenty of room for sweetness and romance which I really liked.

I loved the ending of the book, getting the overall plot resolution and seeing both of the MCs happy with their family. There were also a lot of great side characters which I'd like to see more of and hope we get stories for in the future.

Overall this was a really cute story and I'll definitely read the next book in the series when it's released.

amazing start to a series!!!

This was such a cool take on the omegaverse world and I loved every moment. I loved watching the omega be the one in power for a change. Power, but still have omega qualities that I love in this world. I could have kept reading about this couple. I didn’t want to leave. I love how they saw each other. Saw thru the stereotypes. Saw the humanity in each other. Saw each others softness.

The writing was great as usual. I love everything AE writes. She has a way of sucking you in a story and hitting you with all of the emotions which I like. This was my first read from Regitse and she did an amazing job also. The story flowed together and if I wasn’t told I wouldn’t have known who wrote what part, which is what you want in a multi writer book.

Chefs kiss on the spice. This had all the things spicy things I need in a omegaverse. Knotting, pleasing, begging, care, claiming, possessiveness, mine, don’t mess with mine. With the fates all up in it.
Can’t wait for the next book in this series.

[Cassandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

First, thank you to the authors for allowing me the opportunity to read an ARC of this story. I hope you 2 collaborate more often!

This was such a different take on omegaverse and I loved it! It took what we normally think about and flipped it around. Normally, Alphas hold all the power, but in this story, the Omegas are in control.

Gus and Seb were absolutely adorable and were just smitten from the start. The banter these 2 had was so cute and just kept you coming back for more. I hope that we can see more of them in the future and watch the kids grow up and change the world even more.

[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was very sweet and easy to read! I liked that it's more of an omega driven world and how there is some new worldbuilding that you dont see too often and I loved that.

[Misty · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve read nearly every book A.E. Jensen has published, including her co-writes, and I've loved every single one. But Himbo was a whole new experience for me, it was my first omegaverse, my first mpreg, and my first introduction to Regitse. To say I was intrigued would be an understatement, and I’m thrilled to say that this book did not disappoint.

From the very first page, the story completely pulled me in. I was instantly hooked and found myself invested in the world and characters right away. As someone new to these tropes, I was amazed at how seamlessly the authors wove everything together. The world building was amazing, and the character dynamics felt natural. It’s clear that Regitse and Anja have an incredible partnership, and their writing together is awesome.

By the time I turned the last page, I knew this wouldn’t be my last book by Regitse. Himbo exceeded my expectations in every way. It only reinforced why A.E. Jensen remains one of my favorite authors, and now I’m excited to dive into everything in Regitse’s catalog as well.

Review for (Enduring Hearts-1) A Himbo for my Heat by Regitse Liljadorff & A.E. Jensen

This is the first book I have read by Regitse Liljadorff. But I have read quite a bit from A.E. Jensen. I love the style of their writing. Once I finished this story, I saw why these two authors wrote together. They are gifted apart, but put them together, wow. I love paranormal alpha and omega stories. Gus (the alpha) is Sebastian, who is the king and has only used alphas when he needed them in the past. He is told now that he needs a child. He is in need of finding the alpha that will give him that. This story was somewhat different from what I have read in the troupe. This story has a lot of intrigue with what these two men need to get out of their marriage. Will they, in the end, get what the two of them want? They have found that they want a future with each other.

A Himbo for my Heat is the first book in A.E. Jensen and Regitse Liljadorff’s Enduring Hearts series. Here’s what you can expect from Sebastian and Gus:

👑 MM omegaverse romance with mpreg
👑 First person dual point of view
👑 Guaranteed happily ever after
👑 Open door spice
👑 Omega king and Alpha farmer
👑 Size difference
👑 Hurt/comfort
👑 Knotting and breeding
👑 Forbidden love

Ensure you review the content and trigger warnings to decide if this book is right for you. Note this list of warnings may be incomplete. Please take care of yourself while reading.
⚠️ One main character is referred to as ‘dumb’ and ‘daft’ on several occasions (not by the other main character)
⚠️ One main character is separated from his family when in his teens
⚠️ Presumed death of a parent (one main character)
⚠️ Male pregnancy and on-page birth

This was a fun book to read with just the right amount of angst in it. I love that the authors wanted to have fun co-writing this book and that it’s going to turn into a whole series! One of the things I like about omegaverse romance is that there are so many different variations on it and authors can put their own spin on it, and I really enjoyed the take Anja and Regitse had. In this universe, Alphas are considered dangerous and the Omega king must use his magic to suppress their danger and unpredictability. Even so, most Alphas are shipped far away so Omegas can live in peace. When it’s time for the king, Sebastian, to produce an heir, Gus’s duty to breed him suddenly turns into so much more.

This book was really adorable, and Gus was a well-written himbo that will endear readers to him. Sebastian was so fierce, and I did appreciate how their relationship flowed despite the hormones flying around. Oftentimes in omegaverse, I think we miss out on the “getting to know you” portion of the relationship. The spice in this book was excellent, and there’s just something so primal about this particular intimacy. I’ve been a fan of Anja’s for a few years now, and if she’s writing it you know I’m going to be reading it. However, I’m new to Regitse’s work but I think they flowed beautifully together. I’m really looking forward to the second book in the series!

I received an advanced review copy of this book from the authors and am voluntarily leaving a review.

[Julie Kristine · Rating 4 out of 5]

A reverse omegaverse where the omegas have all the power, and alphas are used as breeders, sent away from their omega family members once they hit mid teens, as alphas are dangerous to omegas and only kept in check due to magic possessed only by the royal family.

King Sebastian is nearing the end of his peak years for conceiving an heir, and his advisors set out to find the perfect alpha to breed the king. Introduce Gus: an adorable, and huge, farmer who leads a simple life, working the farm during the day, carving wood in his free time, and trading his work at the market for honey. At first, Seb is wary of the alpha selected for him, but he soon discovers there is more to the story than what he's been told his whole life.

I adored our two MCs and their clearly distinctive voices. I adored the relationship they built. It wasn't quite insta-love, but definitely on the quicker side, and of course the heat cycle made it physical really quickly, and really that was all it was ever meant to be. But what happens when an alpha and an omega fall in love in a world that forbids them from being together? That is what this story is about. It's got the faitytale vibes of "meant to be", it deals with themes of prejudice and acceptance, it's low angst and high heat, and the epilogue had so much adorableness I couldn't contain my giggles!! 🥰

I'm very happy the authors revealed who the couple of the next book will be, and I absolutely predicted it, and I'm glad to see they have more books planned too for this series, and I can definitely think of some side characters whose story I would love to read in the future!

All my thanks to A.E. Jensen and Regitse Liljadorff for the ARC; it has been a privilege to be able read and review this story early!

First off, I am so glad I read this book as I’m a huge omegaverse reader and geez, this hit all the spots. From the mpreg aspect, I knew this book was do me. This book was super sweet and to feel such an emotional experience was everything my heart needed.

I loved the concept of where the king was the omega and joy is he fierce and just everything that Gus needed. Gus is the sweetest himbo ever. He’s just so adorable that I just wanted to give him a hug. When these two got pulled apart, I wanted to scream, especially to how it happened.

I just loved how they met. Gus and his love for honey is just the cutest. I really loved the ending because man, Sebastian is just truly the best. I loved how the aspect of alpha and omegas was explained and it was just so beautiful.

I’m now hooked and have to read other books hy both of these shorts because yes please, I just loved how sweet and caring these two were for one another.

I really loved the found family in this book two and wonder if we will get other books from the other characters.

I received a copy of this book and this is my honest review.

[Bibliophile Angy23 · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Himbo for My Heat is the first book in the Enduring Hearts series by A.E. Jensen and Regitse Liljadorff, and also their first co-write. And wow… what a start.

Saying I enjoyed this book feels like an understatement. It was the perfect read at exactly the right moment. Sweet, wholesome, comforting… this story wrapped itself around me like the biggest, softest hug, and I honestly did not want to let go.

The worldbuilding is fascinating. In this omegaverse, omegas rule, while alphas are feared, banned, and reduced to one purpose only: breeding. It’s a sharp, unsettling dynamic that immediately pulls you in.

That’s how omega King Seb meets alpha Gus, and from that moment on, everything begins to shift. Their connection challenges everything this world believes to be true and sets the stage for real, meaningful change. Watching that unfold was both tender and deeply satisfying.

The romance is gentle, heartfelt, and full of warmth. Gus is peak himbo energy in the best way, and Seb completely stole my heart. Together, they are soft, hopeful, and quietly powerful.

And now? I desperately need more. Hal and Briar’s story, Adrian’s, Elias’, honestly… all of them. Please and thank you.

This book is comfort, heart, and hope all rolled into one, and I already can’t wait to return to this world.

[Lindsay · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was able to read an ARC of this book. I enjoyed the world building and learning how Alphas and Omegas operate in this society. Gus is a sweetheart and Seb is force to be reckoned with. I enjoyed their relationship, and all of the side characters who help keep these two from losing their minds. The plot is similar to some other omega/alpha books I have read where the world fears alphas as dangerous so separates them from Omegas except for when they need one. This was a sweet and adorable romance and I look forward to seeing the next couple (as this is going to be a series)! Can't wait to see how the world develops and grows. If you like mm romance, especially light hearted cozy reads with a bit of spice, minimal turmoil and heartache and are fans of or open to omega/alpha omegaverse books definitely give this one a read when it comes out.

Arc Review

Sebastian is the Omega king and has the magic to keep the order between Omegas and Alphas, or so he has been told. He needs an alpha to breed him to produce an heir.

Gus is an Alpha working on Willow Tree Farm, where he has been since he was taken from his Omega father and siblings incase he harmed them. He wakes up and yearns for honey. In search of the nectar he is attacked by bees, and while fending off the bees he is commandeered by the kings assistants, wanting him to breed Seb.

Sebby and Gus form a connection beyond the breeding. Sebby wants to keep Gus and raise their baby together, he needs to find a way to make it possible. He discovers his fathers journals which could hold the answers he is looking for.

This is my first omegaverse, mpreg book. The writing flows so easily and the descriptions from Regitse and Anja are flawless. The way they each wrote a character was beautiful, and made you fall in love with them both, wholeheartedly. Gus was a great big hunk of a gentle giant, and fell for Seb fast. Seb was so strong and held the power.
I loved this book and may give this genre another go at some point.

I had a good time reading this! The politics when it came to Alphas and Omegas was done in such a unique way. Gus was adorable! He was just a sweet honey loving Alpha who was falling for his Omega and Sebastian was a kind hearted king trying to create his own path as he began to fall for his Alpha. I enjoyed their relationship and the cute moments between them such a Seb having different variations of Honey for Gus to try and Gus using his carpentry skills to create gifts for Seb as well as chats under the table! I also enjoyed the side characters and the friendships that were formed. I’d be interested in more from this world.

This book had a different take on the omegaverse, where the world was ruled by Omagas, and what a fun and amazing story that was!

This story was funny at times, it was sweet, and it was definitely emotional. Both of the characters had so much depth, and it was so nice to see that Seb haven't treated Gus the same as others did, just because he was an Alpha. They actually got to know each other, before the heat Gus was taken to the palace for started, and let me just add that the actual heat scenes were 🔥🔥🔥.

There were also many amazing side characters, that I can't wait to read more about!

If you’re looking for a seriously sweet and spicy MM omegaverse book with mpreg, look no further. Seb and Gus have got you covered *cute eyes* I don’t think I could dote on these two anymore than I am already. 
 
Gus is truly goodness and light, and all things nice. I wanted to smother that big cuddly bear of an alpha with cuddles and all the honey he could want (though realistically the huge softy would just want his beloved Seb!). His character is pure sunshine, and his infectious personality absolutely charmed me as well as his king. I dare you to try and not like him! 
 
If anyone needs to learn how to enjoy life and smile more, it’s Seb, though I did really admire his dedication and commitment to doing the right thing for his people. Under pressure to ensure that the alphas aren’t dangerous and create an heir with one of them, he’s understandably reluctant to meet the farmer at first, but wait until he meets our lovable Gus. 
 
Seb’s non-judgemental, kind approach when meeting Gus, and the alpha’s adorable innocence promised many cute encounters between the two, and I couldn’t help grinning like an idiot watching them fall in love. The tenderness between them in their interactions – soft looks, gentle touches, sweet words – I inhaled it all.
 
I loved how everything about Gus helps to open Seb’s eyes to the truth, and that he finally stands up to his stooopid old advisors. I think they should take a reaaaaally long hike and come across those angry buzzing friends that Gus came across early in the book…
 
I really loved this take on the omegaverse roles, and how things play out in the end. The story flows beautifully and wraps up everything nicely. I was absolutely longing to meet Gus’s family to see if they were as precious as he was.
 
A Himbo for My Heat is an adorable first co-write from these two authors and I can’t wait to see what’s to come. They’ve promised us more in the series, and I’m looking forward to seeing more of the side characters, who I already adore. I wouldn’t complain about seeing our king or his alpha again either!

Some of my favourite quotes

And the smile he sent my way was worth all the honey in the world. 

“You’re very fierce. You’re the king. My king.” 

“Sleep, my king. I’ll make sure you’re safe.” 

“I know I’m simple-minded. Ignorant about many things. I know that.” “Maybe. But that just makes you innocent in a way. Pure and uncorrupted. But not dumb. Never dumb.”

“I know what’s going through that head of yours, but it’s not true, you know? It matters to me how people talk about you, because you matter to me.”

“A rose?” “Your favorite rose. I thought about picking more for you, but the garden needs its beauty more. My king is already the most beautiful one all on his own.”

“But isn’t change good?” “I think so. Without change, we remain the same, and I, for one, want to become a better version of myself.” 

“Mate. I like that. It sounds...” “Destined?” “Yes, but not just that. It sounds like we are equals. That we are the same.” “We are. You are my mate, Gus. My equal. My perfect alpha.” 

“You and I, my love, we were never wrong. Our instincts are pure and true. We belong together. We’ll be a family.”

“I love you, Seb. Like I’ve never loved anyone or anything before.” 

“I’ll lay down my life for you a million times. You are my family, my purpose.”

“See? That is why I love you. Why I will always love you. You see me. You truly see me.” “Because you let me, my king.” 

“It doesn’t really matter what I think or what anyone else thinks, for that matter. To him, you are special. That’s all that matters.” 

“I’ll love it. Whatever it is you want to show me, I’ll love it. Because I love the man who made it.”

Sebastian or Seb is an Omega King as was his father and his father before him. He was taught that Alphas are dangerous and that he has magic in him passed down by the other omegas in his family starting with his grandfather that can stop the Alpha's from hurting omegas. Alphas are used for work and are taken away from their omega families when they hit puberty to protect other omegas from potential harm. But when Seb's royal advisors tell him that it's time for him to have an heir and continue the legacy his grandfather set out for him he is brought Gus, a gentle alpha who many refer to as dumb. (He isn't people are jerks) Gus was only brought to him to breed Seb and create an heir but Seb sees something different in Gus that makes him question everything he's been taught. Gus is sweet, attentive, caring, compassionate and all the things he was taught that Alphas could never be which is why omegas and alphas lived apart. When Seb's heat finally hits him and Gus share something unexplainable. A love that can't be because it came so fast and because it's forbidden and wouldn't be accepted. They aren't meant to stay together but it feels like they are and Seb has to make some hard choices and trally think about everything he thought he knew. This was an unexpectedly beautiful sweet book with a very interesting take on omegaverse and the role reversal of thier species. It was entertaining, hot af, sweet and I just couldn't put it down. I absolutely loved Gus and the way Seb slowly dropped his guard around him and was so soft and protective of him was everything because Gus deserves to be protected at all costs! And so does Sebastian for that matter. I also loved that this was an Mpreg book and that I got to meet Seb and Gus's sweet children. Such a good book and I'm so excited for the second one.

was an enjoyable trip to another world of Alpha and Omegas, which clearly lets us see Regitse’s influence from the world she creates in her books. The sensitivity shown in some of the characters is definitely A.E. Their combined talents have created a wonderful world that is so worth visiting.

King Sebastien is an Omega and under pressure from his advisors to mate and produce an heir. He is supposed to possess magical powers, but he hasn’t yet discovered what they are or how to use them. His Kingdom is split because of a rule made by his grandfather, whereby Omegas are forbidden to associate with Alphas because they are a dangerous. Alpha children born into an Omega family are not allowed to live with them and are forbidden contact.

When Gus, a simple Alpha farmer is brought to King Seb to breed an heir, Seb thinks it’s a joke.

Gus has a passion for honey and by some magical means, he is attacked by a swarm of bees and somehow he is spotted by the King’s advisors as a suitable mate.

Somehow Seb and Gus are perfect and they just sizzle together across all the pages.
All is not smooth, because once King Seb becomes pregnant, that dreaded quartet of advisors do the dirty.

Both Seb and Gus have a few supportive side characters. Hal is a farmer friend of Gus, and King Seb’s best friends are Elias and his brother Briar. I feel these characters might get to feature in a sequel that I’d love to read if A.E Jensen and Regitse Liljadorff collaborate again.

✨ ARC Review ✨

The way I absolutely devoured this book speaks volumes in how much I loved it 😂😈.

It was a unique take on an Omegaverse and a reversal from what we all are used to, but that's what makes this book such a great read! It'll stick with me for a long time to come due to these differences... That and Gus is just such a sweet Himbo cinnamon roll, golden retriever that I want to live in his pocket and protect him from all harm 🥹🫶.
Seb is his greatest supporter, once they get to know one another but there's also an instant connection between the two which I was here for 🔥😏.

This book had me cackling alongside the characters, and swooning during the heat scenes as well as just falling head over heels alongside them 😘💯.

Don't get me wrong, there were times I wanted to RAGE at the injustices of some characters in this book, and that in itself shows how good a story it is 😂 thankfully, all ends well and our two MCs are happy which is what I care about in the end.

I can't wait to learn more about the supporting characters in this series! Especially Hal. I love sassy, sarcastic Hal 😍. You definitely don't want to miss this when it comes out! If you love your Omegaverse with some Mpreg as well then this will hit that mood, plus more 💜.

A Himbo for My Heat – Regitse Liljadorff - & A.E.Jensen


Do you like honey?🍯
But what if this honey could change your life?🤭
What if it didn’t stop there and had the power to turn the rules of the entire world upside down?🫠

Imagine a universe where alphas are used only for reproduction and are never allowed near omegas.
That alpha could be your husband.
Or your child.🥺
It doesn’t matter.
Being an alpha is reason enough to be taken away.🤧

The Omegaverse has always been a world that fascinates me and captures my attention. And in this book, I found everything I was looking for.

The descriptions, the depictions… they were so beautiful that I read every scene as if it were playing before my eyes like a movie reel.
That emotional depth.
That innocence.
And alongside all that innocence, a level of intense spice that makes your pulse race…
Oh my God! 🔥📚

💦🚨I highly recommend keeping a glass of ice-cold water nearby while reading the smut scenes.🥵🥵

A book that I believe everyone who is curious about the Omegaverse or loves this universe should definitely read. Because every essential detail that I believe should exist in an Omegaverse world is more than present in this book.🖤

A MM royal, forbidden romance with Alpha farmer x Omega king, size difference, sass x himbo, first times, m-preg, secrets/mystery, cuteness, heartache & love.
This book had grabbed me from its honey, I devoured my #ARC within 8hrs. It's a sweet story but things get maddening for some time, BUT HEA's lovely. I adored Gus & Seb.

The world gives a old-timey fantasy vibes, tho not exactly magical. I really like it's twist of giving Omegas the power in world, as most have alphas on top. Despite the oppression & alphas exiled, it's still good life quality comparatively.

Sebastian is the omega king. S's kind, wonderous, tiny twink yet bossy. Here, Alphas are deemed dangerous so Omega king releases their "magic" to keep them subdued. Alphas are just breeders, so falling in love with one? Forbidden.
Gus is an Alpha farmer. G's big, shy, sweet, innocent, simple-minded & curious. I loved his sexy intense side & how the grumpy S warms up to G's surprising sunshine 🥰. G loves honey!

Story is comedic & hilariously cute at start, G's chosen to breed Seb for a hier. I like how they get close, how S is big on consent 😁. G+S are hella hot together, especially in & after heat 🔥. But there's a thread of melancholy, knowing it can't last. From how lovely it was, the angst hit hard 😭 (short yet long). I hated how King felt powerless 😤. I guess, it's his own prejudices stoping too. So when he gets over them, finds truths, he takes control & it's glorious again 😁. Cute babies & lovely HEA!

*3rd act spoiler* / rant

I knew a seperation would happen, but I never expected it to be long in time. I am curious how long gestation period is or how frequent the heats are 🤔. I hated how Seb never got to choose, until Gus 🥹. The councillors were funny but UGH, ass! Journal got me wonder, will we get a dads' book? 🤔 The friends are wonderful & I'm excited for more!
