Dark Harbor #1
Emory
When my father dies, I inherit his territory—and a target on my back.
As an unmated omega in a world of ruthless alphas, I'm nothing but prey. Garrett Kane has been watching me for years, waiting for his chance to claim me by force. Now there's nothing standing between us.
Except Vincent Cross.
The powerful alpha offers me protection through a claiming—a mate bond that will keep me safe from the wolves circling my door. Vincent is steady, commanding, and older than me by decades. He's not what I imagined for myself.
He's better.
But Vincent's two alpha sons complicate everything.
Rhodes is all sharp edges and barely leashed violence, the kind of man who'd burn the world down and not lose sleep over it. Dominic is warmth and steady patience, the one who remembers how I take my coffee and notices when I'm struggling. Neither of them should be looking at me the way they do.
And I definitely shouldn't be looking back.
As the Kane family closes in and old secrets surface, I realize the mate bond that saved me is pulling me somewhere I never expected—into a family of three alphas who are willing to destroy anyone who threatens their omega.
Emory is Book 1 of the Dark Harbor series. This is a dark omegaverse MM romance featuring mpreg, significant age gap, knotting, heat cycles, and a possessive alpha family who will do whatever it takes to protect what's theirs. All intimate scenes are one-on-one (no group scenes). The series builds to a complete reverse harem HEA.

This was a fun short read but it had a few issues. For one there was a few plot holes like when the main character said he had not played the violin since before his dad died but we know that he did. Also the second attack by garret didn’t really make sense to me as it happened the same way the first attack did I just find it a bit silly that Mac would leave the mc alone in the house that he knew garret could get to and would most likely be waiting for the mc. The writing was also a bit odd and some letters felt left out of the sentences and the paragraphs were broken up in an odd way. Overall though I did enjoy reading it and I’ll probably continue the series.

Emory's world is thrown into disarray when his dad dies suddenly. Without his protection he is in danger of being claimed without his permission. Enter Vincent, an alpha of a neighboring territory. Emory's friend reaches out to Vincent to propose a marriage in exchange for protection and the territory. This book is about Emory getting used to Vincent and his sons and going through his first heat. While there is possessive mmc's and knotting, it's not overt in the writing. The spice was present but scenes were short with minimal details. Overall I enjoyed this and hope there is a little more action/plot in the coming books. Spice level: 1

When his father, Leader of the pack, suddenly dies Emory, an un-mated Omega, becomes the target of all the local Alphas, one in particular. Help comes and wisks him away, and that's when the story get really interesting. I enjoyed this but found it a wee bit drawn out now and then. There are three more in this series.
