Beguiled Omegas
His Forbidden Omega
Sarang Desai is honorable.
Or, at least, as honorable as a mafia member can be. Originally the owner of a family farm, Sarang found himself bound to an omega with a dark and violent past. As an alpha and natural protector, he’s sworn to always look after Shiloh’s best interests, even if that means burying the blazing desire he feels for the other man.
Shiloh Sobu is a crook.
He hides behind a shiny veneer, a mask of innocence and weakness, but it’s all a farce. No one raised to be the prince of a mafia would be good, yet he’s managed to convince the alpha he’s obsessed with otherwise. He’s successfully dragged Sarang into his world, trapped him with the title of underboss, and yet, he still can’t seem to get what he truly wants. The alpha in his bed, his teeth in his throat.
Sarang doesn’t want to cross that line and believes Shiloh is out of his league. He spends his ruts alone, pretending not to care, but one accidental night changes everything in a flash. As an alpha, he was born to dominate and rule, but can he really allow himself to take someone like Shiloh?
Determined to get the claiming bite, Shiloh will stop at nothing to have Sarang, even if it means ripping off his mask and coming clean about who he really is.
A monster.
One who’s ready to capture his mate.

What happens when you mix a feral omega with trust issues and a cinnamon roll alpha with a penchant for being rough in the bedroom? YOU GET THIS AMAZING BOOK!
Mafia Prince Shiloh is obsessed with underboss Sarang, and has been ever since Sarang saved him from attackers when he was a teenager. But he’s been lying to Sarang for years, pretending to be sweet and docile to entice the sweet, calm alpha, when really he’s a murderous little monster. Sarang has been in love with Shiloh ever since he saved his life… but he can never tell him. Because sweet, delicate Shiloh needs someone perfect for him… and that’s not Sarang. Or is it? When Shiloh shows Sarang his true colours, Sarang is thrown into confusion - does the omega he’s always wanted even exist? And is this new version even interested in him?
These two are perfect together, even though they’re both total idiots when it comes to admitting their feelings for each other! I enjoy the subversion of the alpha/omega trope, as for most of the book it’s dominant omega Shiloh chasing normal alpha Sarang, with Sarang just trying to be a Good Respectful Guy™️
Please check the trigger warnings before reading this, as it tackles some difficult issues and gets dark in places. There is mpreg in this universe, but not in this book.
Read for:
✨ MM Sci-fi Omegaverse
✨ Feral omega x cinnamon roll alpha
✨ Stronger more dominant omega
✨ Idiots in love
✨ Mafia romance
✨ Non-con, dub-con, somno
✨ Forced proximity
✨ Some very creative murders 👀🍆

There was absolutely nothing forbidden about this omega. If anything, this should’ve been called His wet and dripping omega, because Shiloh was ready, available, and practically begging to be claimed from page one.
I kept waiting for the “forbidden” part to kick in, but instead I got an alpha who spent the entire book convincing himself that Shiloh deserved better?
And Shiloh? I know the book wanted me to believe he was this unhinged, psychotic killer who didn’t understand love. On paper, sure. In reality? I didn’t see it. This man spent four years obsessed with exactly one person. Other than the horrific abuse he endured while being trafficked, he was never interested in anyone else. That’s not someone incapable of love—that’s someone who’s been down catastrophically for one alpha since day one.
I actually wanted more from Sarang. More possessiveness. More obsession. More “you’re mine.” Instead, Shiloh was doing almost all the chasing while Sarang kept holding himself back for reasons I simply didn’t buy. The imbalance made the romance feel flat because one person was giving 110% while the other kept saying, “No, you deserve better.” Most of the book
And can we talk about the kidnappings?
Shiloh gets kidnapped by traffickers. Then Sarang kidnaps him. Then Shiloh kidnaps Sarang. Then another alpha kidnaps Shiloh.
At one point I genuinely started wondering if Shiloh had a loyalty card for kidnapping.
The repeated kidnappings and references to sexual assault eventually lost their impact
I also found myself skimming a lot. The writing itself is still readable I’ll probably continue picking up C.L.F.‘s books because I genuinely enjoy the author’s style but this one felt like it was written in a rush. The ideas were there, but the tension, emotional depth, and relationship development never reached the level I wanted.
It wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t memorable.

I’ve been excited to read Shiloh’s book since his character was introduced. Who knew he was going to be this insufferable whiny brat. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
“Years of guilt and shame, thinking he’d been the one manipulating Shiloh with his Gray power, only to learn it’d been the opposite had him fuming. He contained his fury, knowing now wasn’t the time to unleash it,”
…Rang was just as bad with all his internal whiny musings.
They loved each other for 4 years but they had their heads stuck so far up their asses they almost ruined it all. What could have been an awesome book was this annoying and frustrating trash. It pisses me off hours later. I wanted to wait before I posted a review because I was SO annoyed. Ugh 😑 2 hours later I’m still 🤬🤬
Why is this author so hit or miss?!?! She writes brilliantly in one book and then SO horrible in the next! WTH 🤦🏼♀️

To be honest, I don’t really know exactly what to write about this book. It is a classic Chani Lynn Feener with pages-long trigger warnings that should be heeded.
I think this volume of the series is the darkest and most disturbed. Violence, non-consent, dub-con, and manipulations are part of the author’s usual repertoire; it’s the pattern in almost all of her books, but here she has reached a new high.
The last 10% of the book? An absolute shock. I don’t think the author did herself any favors with this final act, which is also reflected in the 1-star reviews. I’m not quite so strict because I know exactly what I’m getting into with her stories.
So ... 4 stars and a fair warning, it’s really unhinged.

Omg, the manipulation, deception and dark things you would expect from this type of book. Shiloh is feral, chaotic and so unhinged! His methods are very unorthodox, but he's also very obsessed with Sarang and Sarang for his part is very stubborn. Despite being an alpha, Sarang is very gentle, but does enjoy being the alpha and being protective and cherishing his omega. They both feel unworthy of each other, while still feeling deeply about each other. They view their connection differently and need to come to a consensus while also getting to know each other and seeing each other in a different light. I loved how unhinged and feral Shiloh was, but he really needed to be honest about things. I also enjoyed Sarang's protectiveness and deep love.
The story is full of twists and turns and it will have you on the edge of your seat! Please read the TWs! I enjoyed this story, but I'm well aware that it will not be for everyone.

First and foremost, Chani Lynn Feener has got to be the best third person author to exist. It’s really difficult to write in third person and actually keep a reader immersed in the story.
I’ve read many books of her and this one has to be top 2, genuinely. It’s definitely the best book in the series—and that’s really saying something.
Shiloh is my spirit animal. He’s so well written, probably the best depiction of someone with a personality disorder that i’ve read about.
Sarang adjusting to Shilohs true self was probably my favorite part.
So So So good. I loved it.

This was bad. The book is repetitive to a lot of other books of the author. The psychopat MC who is obsessed with the other one and 'wears a mask' and then randomly decides to give up this mask and just take the other MC. Very boring. There was 0 attraction or tension between them. Ofc the 'magic dick' theme was also used here. The shittiest thing is that Shiloh was raped and remained with trauma from it, but then he thinks oh in order to gain Sarang I'll also use rape and make him bite me. Wtf.
Also the names Shiloh, Sarang and his sister's also starting with S and being very similar was very confusing. They could have at least receiver not such similar names.

A rape scene in 90% of the book????!!! HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM CHANI LYNN
July 16, 2026
LOL. Co tu się wydarzyło?!
Nawet nie wiem, co napisać. Fikołek w konstrukcji postaci Shiloh - łagodnej i delikatnej omegi, która była postacią drugoplanową w His Secret Omega - to niezła robota. Drugi bohater, Sarang, nie był aż tak interesujący, ale ostatecznie ich dynamika i rozwiązanie głównego konfliktu bardzo mi się podobało.
Może nawet kiedyś przeczytam tę część drugi raz.

sad that this is the last one in this series
I thoroughly enjoyed reading all of the beguiled omegas, there might have been some spelling errors but that didn’t take away from how good these books are! Great job Chani!

This was gearing up to be a 5 star read and then 90% happened.
First Bishop thinking he knows it all. And instant 1 star gone based on the fact that he took judgement into his hands and wasn’t punished for it.
Then Shiloh getting raped when we were literally 98% the fuck was that? That scene could’ve existed without Dio getting a fuck. Ewwww

I'm just not enjoying this series as much as I liked Devils of Vitality. I'm still going to read them all, but it just feels like something is missing. Maybe too much telling and explaining instead of character interaction and growth?
That all being said, I did really like both of these characters.

I didn’t feel any real connection between the characters. The only character that I liked was Bishop and he isn’t even one of the protagonists 💔

If you like forbidden love, MM, mafia, plot twist you should give this one a read.
Read
June 18, 2026Didn't like that one even though I read it fast. Still debating if it is 2 stars or no rating due to the whole omegaverse thing not being something I enjoy really ever.
This one was very dark even for a Chani Lynn Feener book. And I often enjoy dark but this was dark exactly the wrong way?
From the beginning it looked like the character Shiloh would be subverting some of the omegaverse conventions for omegas and even doing a 180 from the meek fragile delicate character he was in the previous book.
Some light spoilers ahead:
But by the end all that subversion did another 180 and kind of landed on the original trad-wifey conventions for omegas in such stories and I found that deeply unsettling and uninteresting at the same time. Then there is rape of the MC very much on page just thrown in but it's fine because the MC has a personality disorder and thus he explains that doesn't bother him... Yes, thats super dark even for dark romance but also in combination with coming full circle back to the trad-wifey omegaverse stuff I'm always sideeying anyways... I don’t know. It's unsettling. The author is usually good at expressing not just in the foreword but also in the text that this is in fact fucked up and trying not normalize such stuff through the book in real life. And the other MC is given that role in this situation but I don't think it worked well here.

Did Not Finish
June 17, 2026This is the 3rd book I've tried to get into by the author and its an impossible task, DNF at 18%. I can't believe this book is No. 1 on some Amazon list because I wanted to throw hands after reading 6 chapters.
Very mild spoilers & thoughts for the small part that I did read:
The Alpha's name is Sarang & I'm sorry, but all I could think of was Saran Wraps and sarongs. So I couldn't take the chara seriously at all.
Shiloh, the Omega, is also a big, fat liar who fakes a miscarriage & then admits it and apart from being mildly loud, Saran Wrap just shrugs it off...ok, listen, I love lying, manipulative, black & red-flag charas who do extremely toxic things, but seriously WTF?
Like there is zero reason for Shiloh to lie about it, the only pathetic excuse is that Shiloh liked getting attention from Saran Wrap while pretending to be pregnant. It's passed off so lightly in a few sentences that I wanted to scream.
He also fake dated some other chara, I guess to make Saran Wrap jelly? Maybe? I don't know, but it's another fact which ks just casually mentioned and we just move on.
Then Shiloh, trades places with the Omega sex worker who is hired by Saran Wrap since he is going into his rut, AFTER the Alpha takes the sex worker into a room or hut or whatever. Bruh, what? How the hell d0es that happen? This dude so stupid he doesn't realize he's with a completely different person? He even says that the sex worker smells like Shiloh.
*bangs head against the wall*
For someone who has been pinning for the Shiloh, over 3 years, this Saran Wrap guy can't recognize Shiloh's voice when they're having sex. Now if these two had never spoken to each other, I'd totally buy this plot hole, but Shiloh & his Plastic Cling Wrap Alpha are in some sort of mafia, and Shiloh, the mafia Prince or whatnot, made that idiot Alpha his right-hand man which means these two had to spend a good part of their working hours together in close proximity and YET this cluster of cells, Saran Wrap can't recognize his boss's voice just because it's dark or something? The man he loves?
Da faq level of ludicrous suspension of disbelief do I need to to read this book?
I gave up after that because seriously y'all I just couldn't deal.

I've been loving Chani Lynn Feener's Omegaverse books, and this one was another five-star read for me.
If you're picking this up, take the trigger warnings seriously. This is a genuinely dark romance, and it doesn't pull its punches. If you know that's your thing, though, you're in for a wild ride.
Shiloh absolutely stole the show for me. He is completely unhinged in the best possible way—calculating, obsessive, and so good at hiding who he really is that I understood why Sarang never saw through the act. I did find myself wanting to shake Sarang a few times because he was so oblivious, but once everything comes to light, I loved seeing him stop playing nice and give Shiloh a taste of his own medicine. That shift in their dynamic was incredibly satisfying.
The chemistry between them is intense from the beginning, and I really enjoyed watching their relationship evolve once the masks started coming off. The obsession, possessiveness, manipulation, and emotional chaos were exactly what I wanted from this kind of story.
I know the last part of the book has been controversial for some readers because of the rape scene. It was difficult to read, but I appreciated that it wasn't treated lightly, and the person responsible is dealt with quickly. For me, it fit the dark tone of the story rather than feeling like it was included purely for shock value.
Overall, this was another fantastic addition to the series. If you enjoy very dark MM Omegaverse romances with a feral, morally gray omega, a protective alpha, plenty of obsession, and don't mind checking the trigger warnings beforehand, I'd definitely recommend it.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I feel incredibly lucky to be one of the people who got access to this gem before release and was even able to finish it before publication. ❤️
This series is without a doubt my favorite by Chani Lynn Feener. I’m always a sucker for an alpha/omega relationship, so this book already had my attention from the start.
Sarang and Shiloh were such an interesting pair. I really enjoyed the dynamic between them, especially the contrast between Sarang’s honorable, protective nature and Shiloh’s carefully crafted mask of innocence hiding a much darker side. The blurb promised an obsessive, complicated relationship between a mafia prince determined to get what he wants and an alpha who refuses to cross the line, and the story absolutely delivered. 🔥
I do have to admit that I usually prefer when the alpha is the wilder, more possessive one rather than the omega, so at first I wasn’t entirely sure how I would feel about the dynamic. However, the role reversal ended up being one of the book’s biggest strengths. It felt fresh, unique, and unlike many other omegaverse stories I’ve read.
Watching Shiloh slowly reveal who he really was while pursuing the claiming bite he desperately wanted made for such an engaging read. The tension between the characters was fantastic, and by the end I was completely invested in them. 🖤
Overall, this was a unique and addictive addition to an already amazing series. If you love mafia romance, alpha/omega dynamics, obsessive characters, and plenty of tension, this book is definitely worth picking up. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I finished this book yesterday and let it rest during the night so I could write my review with a clear head. As usual, Chani have an incredible way of writing in 3rd person and I'm in love with her stories.
Sadly, this time I kinda felt disappointed because I thought that for a change we'll get a character sain of mind (ish) paired with a psychopath (that would've been a change in dynamics) but in the end both were pretty psychotic. I have nothing against it and honestly I'll eat anything Chani will publish, but I kinda liked the calm/innocent version of Shiloh and was surprised when everything was revealed to be a farce (and sadly my perspective changed then). Also I felt bad most of the book for Sarang, it was a little bit exhausting emotionally.
Also, I read the first version with the R at the end, this sadly spoiled a bit the book for me : I don't mind non-con/dub-con between characters, but when it's a third party who gets involved and it's not an attemptas said in the trigger warnings, it's a different thing. Didn't trigger me personnaly, but just made me sad.
*Just so you know, the author did update the version and the R act was taken away so feel safe to read it now if it's a trigger for you : I really appreciate the reaction speed that Chani had regarding the reviews and how quickly she made the adjustments.
Regardless of this book, I'm still excited to read her next work!
Sadly, this time I kinda felt disappointed because I thought that for a change we'll get a character sain of mind (ish) paired with a psychopath (that would've been a change in dynamics) but in the end both were pretty psychotic.

I just couldn’t get through the book after Shiloh was raped at 94%. That’s where the book ends for gods sake. There was no warning whatsoever just a casual rape scene before being reintroduced to the other mc. I get that it’s dark romance but that was just too weird and hard to stomach.
Also, this series is becoming tired and repetitive. It seems like every book consists of the same two mcs in a different font. While I’m still able to love them, every book just reminds me of the last. A single minded, obsessed and possibily diagnosed pyscopath mc pining for the other mc that must simply resist until he has been d*cked down enough to see reason.
I tried my best to understand Bishop as a character and this may be based on my personal opinion but he wasn’t a likable character. He acted like a single minded worker bee following his queen (Shiloh)’s every command. He was too invested in Shiloh’s love life for me. The book wasn’t really mafia focused too. They’re in the mafia but all day everyday the leaders do nothing but run around the city putting on theatric displays for the sole purpose of obsession and sex.
This book just didn’t do it for me but I’m still hopeful about the next one in the series.

What a ride. Just what I needed. This author truly has a way in not only capturing your attention from the start but also keeping you locked in for the ride. At this point in time I have read and enjoyed a lot of her work. I can say her characters are unique, and though some have similarities you can tell which POV you're reading. These two hit different, and though they were both keeping secrets from the other one (pretty big ones) when we finally get the to be true to not only each other but themselves its like coming home. The scene where Shiloh finally dropped the mask and let Sarang See him was epic, and written in a way where it seemed like a movie in my head. These characters are twisted in a way that you can say they definitely belong to one another. For those who have not read her book before, I would suggested to definitely read those trigger warnings because this book is one of those that deep dives into some traumatic events. I will most likely re-read this in a years time. Also, if it wasnt for having to do a project for class, I would have finished this in one day. twenty four hours . I could not put it down, I resented having to be an adult who had a job and going to college for the time it took out of not being in the world, and knowing what happened.

Shiloh & Sarang were two characters I absolutely did not see coming. I expected very different things from both of them, but I honestly am not disappointed by these differences, in fact it was exhilarating 🤣. They are both deeply flawed, selfish in their own ways, and absolutely obsessed with one another and I was here for every second of it 👀. I can completely get why this one wasn't meant for everyone, but I personally loved it.. then again I've loved everything by Chani so far, they have not let me down 🥰.
I didn't see the way Sarang reacted to everything and how he went about his own version of revenge, with the sole focus on getting Shiloh to love him or realize he already loved him and it was so good 😈.
Shiloh is surprisingly loyal to those he trusts and cares for, will do anything and everything for them but none is held higher than Sarang in his mind and Sarang's main focus is also Shiloh so the fact that they are selfish with one another is actually beneficial for each other.
As always, Chani continues to show why they are such a strong dark romance writer and I can't wait to see what else happens in the future, but I've loved this Omegaverse series! I'm also very intrigued by not only Elm but Bishop as well and seriously hope we get their stories someday 😘.

Review of advance copy
4 stars!
I DEVOURED this one! Chani Lynn Feener never disappoints, honestly. I spent most of the day reading and was really having the time of my life. I loved the unsual setup of a more dominant omega, who is crazy and a psychopath, and a soft alpha. However, I did not like the switch up in the second half, I wished Sarang stayed how he was before. But all in all, I would still highly recommend this, even though His Snowbound Omega is still going to be my favorite in this series. Also, do read the trigger warnings,
I seriously don't have much to say, sorry, I just switched off my brain honestly and vibed while reading... But, I just wish there was a liiiittle more communication between the MCs, we could've avoided so many things from happening... I am honestly just reaaally excited for the next one in the series featuring Levi, who I really grew to like in the previous books, and I just cannot wait for his book!

This was a pleasant surprise. I had no clue this was going to be the dynamic between Shiloh and Sarang from my impression of them from ‘His Secret Omega’.
I liked that the omega Shiloh was the dominant party and primarily chased the Alpha. I also appreciated the deep dive on his unspecified personality disorder and how his childhood trauma and survival needs informed much of his personal beliefs including his skepticism about love. He is honestly one of the funniest characters in this entire series.
It was interesting to see Sarang rip off his ‘nice guy’ persona driven partly by revenge but also releasing the pessimism that had been instilled in him by an absentee father. Much like Shiloh he had to shed the parental neglect that was holding them back to consummate their love. The romance really opens up when Sarang insists on teaching Shiloh to trust his emotions and believe in love again. 4/5 stars.
***I’m excited for Elm’s novel with the Leviathan. From the epilogue, it seems he may have been subject to the same drug that changed Fenrir’s secondary gender/proclivity? Or maybe he’s a late bloomer like Sky? Will wait and see.

Reading about a psychopathic omega was a nice change! I absolutely loved Shiloh's devotion and how much he wanted Sarang. He would do anything to have his alpha forever. Sarang was also deeply in love with Shiloh but didn't think his omega could handle being with him.
If they had talked since the beginning, this book would have been like 100 pages long. The lack of communication was a bit frustrating, but since Sarang and Shiloh are very different people, it made sense that communication would be difficult at first. They both had too many secrets. Though, it took too long for them to try and talk everything out.
Important note regarding the trigger warning,

I've already read 25+ books by Chani so I was waiting for this addition. The characters were already introduced in his secret omega so I was very intrigued how the author is going to approach this as they did not fit archetypes she normally writes as they seemed so sweet, delicate. If you are someone who could be discouraged by it, me and you shouldn't have doubted her for a second.
Shilog and Sarang were both obsessed and complicated in different ways, manipulating and finding way to each other. Because of the sweet portrayal in previous book brought even more contrast to what length they were willing to push each other to get what they wanted. Surprisingly, this book is one of the darker ones she wrote. Definitely suggest reading TW, however if you love all the dark and twisted I highly recommend this book. The spice is spicy and plot twists, world building I love in her writing did not disappoint. I loved every book from the omegaverse and this was just another 5/5 addition for me.

This reminds me a bit of "Say I do" by Brea Alepoú and Skyler Snow. It's messy and bloody, with possessive boyfriends. The miscommunications were a bit off-putting, but the way it was incorporated, felt natural for the MMC's. They are both destructive, obsessed with one another and feel like the other is not fully theirs. At times it did get a bit boring, I couldn't care less about all the side characters, the story, at least to me was not as interesting as the romance side and character growth. The betrayal was like, okay, so that happened instead of something that I actively thought of. That being said, I did enjoy this book a lot and had a great time reading it.
Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me, but I hate when MC's have names that start with the same letter (written), I keep mixing them up 😅.
Also, I do recommend reading books 1 and 2, because this one has little to no world-building, so sometimes it is hard to understand what is what

His Forbidden Omega is a dark MM, alpha/omega, sci-fi, mafia romance! Shiloh is a Prince, who goes to university and has a twin sister and is also psychotic! He is part of the mafia and takes part in it, in relish. He meets a farmer, Sarang, who heals him after he is shot. Instantly obsessed, he latches on to him and helps him rise the ranks. He also keeps his psychotic tendencies to himself and Sarang is unaware that his sweet, innocent Prince is anything but.
Tired of acting and pretending, when Sarang still won’t give him the mating bite, he resorts to different methods!
This was low angst, despite it being a dark romance. I enjoyed how insane Shiloh was and his thought process. I also loved that Sarang, though sweet to Shiloh, proves he won’t take his crap and can give it back. It was a good read and it sets you up to take a peak into what the next book is about!! Check your TW!!! 🩵

Sarang, an Alpha farmer, saved Shiloh, an Omega Mafia Prince, from death and became Kian's right hand man. This also made Kian's brother Shiloh off-limits to Sarang though the unscrupulous Shiloh still wants him as his Alpha. Sarang 's honor won't allow it but that means little to the Dominant, possessive Omega. This is a truly dark romance with Shiloh pretty unlikeable, unable to love, only his own desires allowed yet wanting to be claimed more than life itself. Sarang's feelings of unworthiness and entrapping of Shiloh have to be forcibly overcome and everyone is dragged into their affairs before the outcome. I loved this one and went over to the dark side with all the capturing, lying, forced activities, violence and possession. Be prepared - it's never an easy courtship, only ownership and dominance.
