Rejected Omega #1
Beg Me
When my father sold me to the highest bidder, I never expected them to be my Scent Match.
They couldn’t have known—not with the illegal suppressants I was on—but one interaction was all it took for me to decide they could never find out.
To them, being an Omega was my only worth. They saw a spoiled, shallow girl with expensive taste, and they made up their minds.
The ruthless Alphas intended to use me, but secrets never stay buried for long. I’d find out what they wanted and use it to bargain for my freedom.
They may have bought me, but they’d never own me. And before I disappeared, I’d make sure they knew exactly who they’d tried to cage—and that some mistakes can’t be undone.
Even if they begged.

this book is mostly sex, which is not usually my favorite, but i can deal if it’s fun and hot and exciting. this book is not that. almost all the sex is perfunctory and boring. there’s no buildup or tension or interest. it’s just not sexy. not to mention that most of the sex also feels iffy on consent?? which i don’t have a problem with when it’s a part of the plot, but it doesn’t really feel like that either. it feels very strange because every time eva has sex, she’s not resisting or saying no, but most of the time it happens, she’s just hanging out in a room and someone comes in and has sex with her and then turns around and walks away??? there’s just no seduction on either part and it feels so bizarre.
i also just wanted this to be more of a romance. the idea behind these rejected scent match books is supposed to be that once they realize she’s their scent match, we get to watch them grow and learn and change and fall in love. and we just don’t really get that here. they change their behavior, sure, but there’s no romance. it doesn’t feel like we get to watch characters fall in love with each other. and i think part of that is that with bully romances, or romances where the fmc is wildly mistreated by her future partners, the eventual romance needs to be over-the-top adorable and romantic and sweet to make up for it. in this book, they just buy her gifts and then all of a sudden everyone is exchanging “i love you”s, and that’s just not the same.
there’s also no sense of intimacy or getting to know each other. the only moment that even tries to do that is the cliche “look we all have scars” moment, but there’s almost nothing else. by the end of the book i don’t feel like i actually know anything significant about who these characters actually are as people.

True groveling, but…
Some of the details left me uncomfortable. Spoilers ahead.
1) How could Eva accept living in a pack house when she knew for a fact that her Alphas had not only “entertained” lots of other females there, but other females had lived there making it their home? She was jealous of just other females touching them. Wouldn’t she want to eradicate any memories of other females? "Oh, let's cuddle on this couch where I saw you f!&*ing that beta woman." "Oh, let me spend time in this room where you f@&$ed so many other women their scents were indiscernable." "Oh, let's have dinner at this table where I had to watch another woman just waltz into your home like it's hers because she felt comfortable using your spare key." "Oh, let me go paint in my new art studio, you know, the room that used to belong to the omega you tried to leave me for and where you locked me in the closet after you bought me so that you could use me to get her back." This isn't Eva's home- it's Susanna's home. It's the home of their f*$@ room. It's the home where random women feel comfortable enough to walk in at any time of the day or night like they belong there.
2) Rafe and Cade both told her they loved her. Dorian didn’t. Sure, she can feel it through the bond, but he needs to acknowledge it verbally because that takes his love to a deeper level.
3) She never told them either. When the book ends, she’s still holding back from them. She still doesn’t completely trust them. Where's the future in a relationship in which she doesn't feel safe enough to trust them?

a lot of noncon
It was really difficult to read. It wasn’t just about bbs but the amount of times FMC said no and the MMCs still crossed every boundary was very disturbing. Didn’t feel like romance at all.

I read this book weeks ago and never got around to writing a review, so this is not the freshest and won’t be the best. My absolute favorite part of the book was this…
AI was NOT used in the creation or writing of this story.
I think there’s a place for ai (it’s super helpful for DIY projects), but I feel like it drains the life out of storytelling, so I applaud authors that still do the work themselves.
The blurb is vague, so I’ll give the bones but please STOP if you want zero details. Eva is sold by her father to a pack of alphas (Cade, Rafe, Dorian). She recognizes them immediately as her scent matches but is on suppressants, so they don’t. She finds out they purchased her to use her to find someone from their childhood.
This is Omegaverse and has the standard dynamics. The alphas overbearing and have all the power, and the Omega is weaker and influenced by her designation. This is written with the h having “needs” and the sex is written with a heavy BBS influence (the men are only into the h) that could be considered non/dub con especially if you don’t read much from the genre. It’s very much in the pnr lane and there is nothing resembling traditional romance, so if that is what you enjoy… I wouldn’t recommend this.
Bottom Line- It was alright. There are some bits that you will have to just go with, , but I found it enjoyable enough. I care more about connection than content, so this worked for me because the characters didn’t feel like flat robots talking dryly in wordy prose, but if you are strict with safety, I’d skip. No one cheats, but there are OW around and the guys go into it planning to sell her heat.

I was a bit confused on this one. I couldn’t understand why the mmc’s hated the fmc so deeply from the very beginning when they were the ones committing the crime of purchasing her.

This did not work for me
Spoilers ahead. Lots of em.
Let’s do a quick run through of Beg Me. Alphas Dorian, Rafe, and Cade purchase an omega who is being trafficked by her father with the sole intention of auctioning her heat off to yet another pack. Why? They’re trying to hunt down their pack’s promised omega. This original omega was with them in foster care, so they feel a sense of loyalty to make her their omega forever. Even though, and I quote, “I should have known she was never for us. The signs were always there. Even when her letter arrived, we’d tossed it in the trash.”
The letter in question made them think this omega was missing, leading them to search for her for TWO YEARS. But yeah, sure, they threw out the suspicious letter.
Anyway, back to the present tense, they convince their human trafficked omega stand-in, Eva, that they’ll free her if she goes along with their plan to get information on where their OG omega is. Eva, obviously, is their scent match, but they don’t know it because she’s weaning off suppressants. They treat her like absolute trash, except they can’t quite go through with letting another pack buy Eva’s heat.
Fast forward a tiny bit and Eva’s suppressants wear out. She has a heat with them knowing she’s their scent match, and then she realizes their missing OG omega is someone she bumped into while they were trying to auction her off. Eva does minimal sleuthing and sets up a “big reveal,” in which we learn that OG omega lied to the alphas about everything and never cared about them. Blah blah. Eva escapes while they’re distracted and basically goes to an omega shelter to start a new life. The trio find her, get themselves banned from the shelter, and then kidnap her. After minimal character development, the alphas get arrested because people rightfully filed a police report against them after the whole kidnapping thing.
Eva freaks out and finds documents in Dorian’s office detailing the tragic trauma of their past. This convinces her that they should be together forever, and she helps them get out of jail. Her dad tries to kidnap her again and her alphas unalive him in about 10 pages, and then the last chapter is her alphas getting upset she was on a dating site equivalent before they were together for real.
Like… am I supposed to pity the alphas? No amount of groveling can really cancel out the fact that they literally human trafficked a stranger, mistreated her, and then were intending to traffic her again. I hated them. Eva could have been cool in another life with more character development. At least the book was fairly short. 😮💨

Lots of groveling! I am a sucker for groveling men 😭 they truly were assholes to her at the beginning, however they flipped pretty quickly to wanting her and even wanting to keep her before they found out she was their sent match.
Possible Spoilers…although the graphics I’ve seen for this book give a lot of this away anyways.
They didn’t hate her specifically at the beginning , but the idea of her. They didn’t want an omega because they promised another one she would be theirs, however she was MIA. They purchased Eva in order to sell her at an auction to get info on the omega they were looking for. This wasn’t right (or ethical at all) but I do respect caring for someone so much that they would do anything to find her! Just wish this care was geared towards the FMC, not some other woman! It tells us how great they will be once they do realize they are going to bat for the wrong omega!
Once her drugs wore off and they realized she was their scent match, she goes through a heat with them then ditches them! Yes, girl! 👏 they catch up to her and then she runs again! The 2nd time it takes them longer to find her and you get some true remorse from the men’s POV’s while she is away from them.
Eventually they bring her back home and give her space, apologize (multiple times, sometimes on their knees!), give her gifts(daily!), and redo a couple rooms in their house so she has her own nest and a separate room with lots of light for her drawing.
Honestly, the guy who was the biggest asshole at the beginning becomes the biggest sap, almost too sappy for me 😳
Obviously, all 3 guys have rough childhoods and they are damaged which makes them emotionally unstable and slightly nuts. At the end though, they really seem like they will be amazing alphas for their omega ❤️
Would have loved for this book to have been longer, or even 2 books and have book 1 end on her running away! I loved the characters and could have spent more time with them!

There's no actual mm so let's get that out the way. Three alphas who end up with their scent match aka fated mate and don't even know it. The way they treat is as absolutely deplorable. She knows the truth because the supressent she takes only works one way. Essentially she has all the reactions but they just use that against her in a derogatory manner. She will make them grovel and beg. I'm here for it. When someone finally realizes who they are to them and realize oh shitake. I don't want to put any spoilers in here but let's just say this woman is a saint for what these men put her thru. Than when you find out why good heavens. I wasn't even sure if the guys in the beginning were the MMC's with how brutally they treated her. Hog tying someone and making them ride in a trunk just doesn't scream love to me. I mean unless you're into that. I don't kink shame... Allie gave us everything needed to make this a well balanced Omegaverse. The plot and the spice. Than there's the darkness because yes it is a DARK romance. There's simply no such thing as to dark in my opinion. Be forewarned ! Lastly I received this as an arc and under no obligation to leave this review !

I had both objective and subjective issues with this one.
Objective: the content warnings are inaccurate. This book has strong dubcon with a dash of body betrayal. **That is not the same as CNC**
CNC is the intentional, pre-determined, negotiated play of simulated non-consent (rape). It involves a safe word because it is a kink.
Alphas forcing themselves on an omega who does not consent is not CNC. Her body betraying her, and her ultimately enjoying the act, does not change that fact. They had not discussed it. There was no safe word. She was not an informed, consenting participant.
The content warnings page also listed cock warming, but that was missing from the story entirely.
Subjective: I struggled with the pacing, the abrupt about-face the MMCs made in going from hating her to wanting her, and how quickly she forgave them. It was like insta-love, but make it weird. The MMC’s arrest towards the end felt rushed and frankly unnecessary as it only served to get them out of the house to set up her father coming to take her. Roberto’s betrayal also felt unsupported, and the tidbit dropped about her mom dying in childbirth and that being why her father hated her felt out of place. The kidnapping plot point was resolved too soon, and overall the ending felt rushed.

I should’ve known this would be a tough read when I read “eggplant warming” in the kinks section. This isn’t tiktok, the author could’ve actually bothered to use the correct terminology.

Plot: 4/5 • Smut: 3/5 —————> Eva’s father sells her to the highest bidder. However, the pack she’s sold into has other plans for her. Because she’s on suppressants they don’t realize she’s their scent match, but she does.
They want to put her up for auction for her to serve her heat to a pack of Alphas. Her scent matches are looking for information on their Omega friend that got away. That’s the trade.
They treat her like trash, they lock her in the trunk. Yet all she wants is to please them. She’s attracted to their scent and in some ways them.
Eventually the suppressants wear off and they realize she is their scent match. They have a lot of groveling and making up to do, but she runs away. She’s not going to be second best to some girl they’re looking for. They’re on a mission to get their girl back.
There was a little too much back and forth for me at some points. Eva was very stubborn to the point where I was rolling my eyes a little. I understand her not wanting to be second best, but after a while she had to listen to them. Otherwise this was a fun omegaverse read. I liked it. And I liked that it was a standalone.

I hate being dropped into scenes with no real introductions, build up or explanations for anything so you don't know why anyone's acting the way they are. She's been abused, sold, and she's angry, but she wants to jump all their bones and gives a blow job immediately without being threatened even. She's on suppressants that don't do anything?? They think she's spoiled and that's enough reason to hate her and treat her like shit?
Also, Randomly Capitalized words annoy the Shit out of me. And the writing wasn't very good overall - lots of choppy, non-descriptive sentences.

I really hate why choose books. I don’t know why I keep reading them. Nothing against this author. There were many aspects of this book I enjoyed. The writing and world building was solid. The characters were well-developed.
I just despise why choose storylines and it makes me sad that so many PNR, shifter, and omegaverse books have to feature this dynamic.

Ok, first of all, don't read it if you don't like reading about bullying (they grovelled) mentions of past abuse and current parental abuse. I knew that going in so this book was definitely for me. The main character has a personality, it was not lost amongst the lust. There was a storyline, a good one at that, but some characters were introduced that were not entirely needed or if they were I did want a bit more depth. I give it three chilli peppers 🌶️🌶️🌶️, but I may be biased as I did just finish her Crimson Cove series 🥵.

You go girl!
God i wished i was there to strangle these bastards, but my girl Eva didn't disappoint. The regret they felt when they knew the truth, as if them not knowing justifies how they treated her! They were so rude and downright cruel, i wanted to know what made them this way, and then i felt sorry for them and wanted Eva to forgive them.
***
Kind of different from the typical omegaverse stories I've read before, but worth reading all the same. I loved how the h wasn't some weak omega, she knew her worth and what she deserves, and fought for it.

5 Star Read!
Cade is a big ol headed baby and I mean this in the most loving way!!!! He is personally my favorite MMC though Dorian and Rage hold a special place in my heart.
This is the first time in a good while where I've read a grovel/betrayal story and somehow came out feeling mushy while giggling and kicking my feet.
It starts off in a dark manner. I don't want to give away too many spoilers but our FMC is sold to a pack as an unregistered omega. Their attitude towards her in the beginning is cruel and ripped into her self esteem and confidence pretty much off the bat. While never truly losing her spark, we see our FMC go through trial and error trying to escape her situation.
The redemption arc is sweet in a psychotic way. The men truly fall for her before they even realize she's their scent match. They feel drawn to her essence and personality. While they make some heinous mistakes, they do make up for it tenfold. Their back stories don't feel as icky as some MMCs (i.e. Riftan from Once Upon an Oak Tree). Their development is fleshed out in a beautiful way.
The pacing in the beginning is fast paced but slows down to a more wholesome ending. I'd love to see another epilogue of this foursome. SPECIFICALLY want to mention ***SPOILER-ISH*** two extra spaces in their nest and a certain Beta cashier giving one of our MMCs the eye 👀.
All in all, a great story though you must prepare yourself. I'd recommend reading the trigger warnings so you know what you're going into and I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I did!

This is the first time in a good while where I've read a grovel/betrayal story and somehow came out feeling mushy while giggling and kicking my feet.
It starts off in a dark manner. I don't want to give away too many spoilers but our FMC is sold to a pack as an unregistered omega. Their attitude towards her in the beginning is cruel and ripped into her self esteem and confidence pretty much off the bat. While never truly losing her spark, we see our FMC go through trial and error trying to escape her situation.
The redemption arc is sweet in a psychotic way. The men truly fall for her before they even realize she's their scent match. They feel drawn to her essence and personality. While they make some heinous mistakes, they do make up for it tenfold. Their back stories don't feel as icky as some MMCs (i.e. Riftan from Once Upon an Oak Tree). Their development is fleshed out in a beautiful way.
The pacing in the beginning is fast paced but slows down to a more wholesome ending. I'd love to see another epilogue of this foursome. SPECIFICALLY want to mention ***SPOILER-ISH*** two extra spaces in their nest and a certain Beta cashier giving one of our MMCs the eye 👀.
All in all, a great story though you must prepare yourself. I'd recommend reading the trigger warnings so you know what you're going into and I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I did!

⭐️ 5/5
🌶️ 4.5/5 (super spicy!)
Hands down one of the best reads I’ve read all year. Am I surprised by this? Not at all. Allie is incredible with her writing and always knows how to bring the best bullying, groveling, betrayal, and possessiveness with her characters.
There’s a lot that happens and at first you’re going to really really dislike the MMC’s at first (as always expected with Allie’s books 🤭) but then you’re going to absolutely love them.
The spice is super spicy, I counted 15 scenes from 0ral to interc0urse and two heats happen within the book. So if you’re looking for an angsty and spicy read, this is it.
I love all of the MMC’s. I have such a soft spot for Cade because he crumbled first and ugh he’s just so precious 🥹
Their backgrounds are super heartbreaking honestly.
The only thing I wish would have happened was for her to turn the tables more and tell them “Beg me.” Ahhh that would have been 👩🏻🍳🤌🏼💋✨

They don’t know she’s their scent match — she does.

So the MMCs actively participated and supported the trafficking of omegas. In fact, they purchased the FMC from her abusive father with the intention of selling her solely to get access to an omega trafficking ring and find the omega they were actually wanting. Maybe my standards, as bottom of the barrel as they are, are just too high to think that any MMC that supports human trafficking is disgusting and unloveable.
Anyway, we can couple the fictional male version of yeast infections with body betraying syndrome and all of a sudden we're left with sexual assaults the author has called dubious consent because wet = consent, right? Whatever. It was really hard to not think of it as sexual assault and rape when the men were such useless, disgusting examples of Epstein list aficionados. Even with the thought that the dubious consent worked, we still had lack luster groveling. The FMC was basically kidnapped and hounded until she forgave the MMCs, and she STILL had to save the day in the end.
The more I think about this, the madder I get.

This was WAY BETTER
I loved that the MMC’s actually took accountability for their actions and did things to improve their relationship with Eva. Nothing was sugarcoated over! It was all addressed and everyone made their changes! I love that they apologized to her and did things to make it up to her! This is what i want to see when i see the word Grovel. Now could more have been done? Yes! But it was enough to sate my ever growing frustration of how they were treating her in the beginning! I really wish the would’ve snapped Susanna and Deborah’s neck but a beggar can’t be a chooser! Glad they got rid of her father! Overall i enjoyed this book and will be reading more from this author!

Once I started reading, I was hooked. The plot was captivating. There was drama, few secrets, a twist, emotional moments, and lots of spice.
I really liked Eva. While her body might have craved her alphas, she didn't give her heart right away. She made them grovel and work for her acceptance. Rightly so. Eva really was perfect for them though. She was soft, caring, and had just enough sass.
Of course in the beginning, I wasn't a fan of them, but I did fall for them in the end.
Overall, I really enjoyed it. I think the author did a great job wrapping up their story and giving them their happy ending!

Wow! This book starts straight off with a bedroom scene and I love it!! Eva’s life has been so cruel under her father’s watchful eyes and she thinks she is going to get a break when she meets the Ironwyld Alphas ……. think again Eva!
The way this story played out was really good and I enjoy seeing Alphas grovel 🤭
Dorian, Rafe and Cade really pulled out all the stops to persuade Eva to stay, they were really cute but tbh so they should be after the way they treated her.
There’s some little shocks that appear which I didn’t see coming but I’m so pleased with how things worked out in the end. Great read!

A dark omegaverse must read!
I couldn't put this book down!! I just couldn't get enough! It's dark, twisty and full of suspense. You will stay in anticipation of what happens next. I loved seeing our FMC, Eva, find her confidence and strength. She starts out defiant but becomes stronger throughout the book. She craves her freedom and independence. You will start out hating her guys, but once they realize and accept who Eva really is to them, the groveling is top notch! The ending is perfect, no cliffhangers here. I love this dark omegaverse world that Allie Santos has created!

This was really good for my first “alpha-omega” book! Definitely different but in a good way!
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 4/5 spice level for me, simply because it happens A LOT but could have upped it some more. Would I have liked to see more bondage? FOR SURE.
Cade is my favorite alpha, he’s such a sweetheart.
I wasn’t a huge fan of
Overall, I did love this and wish I got a little more Dorian interactions.. idk why I felt his were less but I feel like he was the hottest for some reason?? LOL 😂

Sometimes the recommendations don’t work out the way you want them to.
Tropes
- OMEGAVERSE
- High Spice
- Trauma
- Grovelling
- Found Family
I really had no idea where this book was going most of the time. Things moved very quickly and characters seemed to come in and out of the story. From bad parents, to bad “masters”, the FMC really has no one on her side. I didn’t really believe how any of the emotional bonds were forming. You really have to lean into the omegaverse and really believe that scent matches really rewire your brain so intensely for things to make sense.
3.5/5 ✨

2.5 stars
If you are looking for a book with MMCs who treat the heroine like garbage, this author will 100% deliver. I've not read all of her books, but of those that I have, they all contain men who are at one point (or more likely for long extended periods) absolute dicks. Her books have men who run the gamut of flat out mate rejection, bullying, treating the FMC like a mere fuck toy, using her for some secret reason or other, physically harming her, screwing other women (including a sister), the list goes on. Fortunately, on occasion I enjoy asshole heroes so this isn't a big deal for me. What I abhor though is an FMC who is a slave to her vagina, which is the definition of EVERY SINGLE heroine I've read by this author. It doesn't matter what horrible thing the men say or do to these women, they will screw them regardless. This is why none of her books will likely ever get more than 3.5 stars from me; I just can't handle all the BBS.
*I believe all the books I've read from this author are fated mate books, so she tries to explain it away as it's the mate bond at work and that's why the ladies can't resist them---for me though, I'm just not buying it.
One example of the BBS from this book: At one point the heroine comes out of her room to find the guys hanging out with one of their fuck buddies. Heroine, rightfully so, goes off on them, basically saying f-buddy could have them, she didn't want their disease ridden dicks anyway- so yes, all good, I fully appreciate the verbal beat down. Then not two minutes later, and I am not exaggerating here, she is screwing one of them after he followed her when she stormed off. What the ever loving hell? You literally just said you didn't want their nasty dicks and now you're bouncing on one. Please, make it make sense.
**For those of you who dislike when the guys are with other women after meeting the heroine, this book is safe for you. They do not screw anyone else after purchasing the FMC. Although we do see them with the aforementioned f-buddy as the initial intro to their characters (if I recall correctly only one of them screws her).
This book was light on plot and heavy on smut; by the time the FMC's heat rolled around I was over the smut and barely skimmed it--and it was surprisingly brief. This is a standalone omegaverse, I would rather take 3-5 really good smut scenes over the (I don't know how many-but too many) rather ho hum examples in this book.
To me, this is a mid-range book, didn't hate it but also didn't really like it that much, and it probably won't warrant a reread. I only read this a few weeks ago, but nothing was really memorable (I can't remember a single character name, and honestly can't recall if there were 3 or 4 dudes). However, if you're looking for a quick book between series, or need to get your bully/dickhead hero fix, this will do, just don't expect too much.
