Cherry Bomb
Designating late as an Omega, becoming a stripper, and falling for my mom's ex-boyfriend wasn't exactly how I imagined my life, but here I am.
The moment I designated, I was kicked out of my mother’s house. Two Omegas under one roof wouldn't do. I was a burden to her and her pack.
With few career options, and no pack in sight, I found myself working at Lavender Moon. The scent club not only offered a means to provide for myself, it was the perfect place to learn how to be an Omega.
Too bad I was doing a terrible job of it.
Until a confident Beta walked into the club making me an offer I couldn’t refuse. He wants me, and so does his pack.
The two Alpha firefighters are handsome, caring, and possessive in a way I didn’t know I needed. The only issue…one of them just so happens to be my mom's ex-boyfriend.
Despite feeling unworthy of their attention, they say they want to court me, that I'm precious. I've never been loved before, not even by my own family. Can I look past my trauma and give this pack my heart?

Sarah Blue is officially my omegaverse QUEEN! Seriously, I have not read an omegaverse by her I didn't love, and this was no exception. Cherry is an omega and she was kicked out of her mom's house when she designated. She's made a living for herself dancing at a club in Vegas, and intrigued when a beta comes in asking for her to be his arm candy for a poker tournament. Around the same time, one of her mom's old alpha's runs into her when she has a problem and needs to call the fire department for assistance, and he shows up. I don't want to spoil anything beyond that, but I seriously loved all three heroes and their dynamics with one another, as well with her. I love when the guys have a relationship as well because it adds so much more depth to the relationships as a pack, and you become invested in all of their journeys towards an HEA with each other. I couldn't put this down and was obsessed. I'm definitely going back to reading book one in the series now!

I have MISSED Sarah Blue’s OV universe. I love her poly relationships - everyone loves everyone here! MMMF with two alpha firefighters and a perfect beta.
Betas are always my favorite in ABO dynamics. The only clearheaded ones in the bunch. And Sarah’s betas are always a little unhinged. As I said, perfect.
A standalone that ends in a HEA.

Cherry Bomb is everything I love in an Omegaverse romance, fun characters, instant chemistry and emotional connections. Hailey designated late as an Omega and was turned away from her horrible mother. She found work at the most popular scent club in Las Vegas, Lanvender Moon. After work one night Hailey has trouble removing a knotty toy and has to call for help. The fireman that appears is her mother’s ex-boyfriend. She is mortified. She takes him muffins the next day and meets Sterling another firefighter and Alpha. That night at work she’s approached by Hayes, a Beta, to be his date for a poker tournament. When Hayse realizes that Cherry is the Omega his pack mate, Nate, has been nonstop talking about he needs to get everyone together because he knows she is the perfect Omega for their pack. Hayes, Nate and Sterling work together to prove to Hailey that they want her as their omega. I loved that the guys were an established pack and together just waiting for their Omega. The spice is perfect, we get mm, mf, and the whole group spicy scenes.

A new OV book was exactly what I needed during this chilling cold. Hailey is a late designated omega who’s looking for the perfect alpha. She’s making ends meet as her alter ego, Cherry. An embarrassing encounter brings Nate back into her life. She never thought she’d see her mom’s ex again but fate had other plans.
I absolutely love Sarah Blue’s writing! She has the perfect mix of spice interlaced with sweet moments and all wrapped up with a great storyline. We also love to see the perfect beta who’s dead set on orchestrating the perfect pack. And hello, who doesn’t love some hot firefighting alphas? This book was exactly what I needed and I was reminded why Sarah’s books always hit 🔥

I have had an omegaverse itch for a bit now and I knew Sarah Blue would not let me down. Her stories hit every time. This was low angst. Just a group of people trying to build a relationship.
Seeing her mother’s ex for the first time since she left while a toy was stuck in her is a bold way to introduce a character, and I was hooked for the rest of the story. Although I do wish the character and relationships were a little more flushed out. Even the characters noted at one point how fast it was going and it felt like they still barely knew each other. Besides that, it was sweet, it’s was spicy, and exactly what I wanted to read at the moment.

My life, my future, is mine, and I think it could be a quite beautiful life if I let it.
Steamy. Emotional. Fun.
If you enjoy Omegaverse, MMMF, with a lot of heat a bit of angst and also a sweet love story between the pack, then Cherry Bomb is the perfect read. It’s in the same universe as Lavender Moon, but you don’t HAVE to read that first to understand this one. That said, it’s a good read so read it because of that anyway.

Yeah Sarah Blue hits every time 🙂↕️
I’m a simple girl, I like my omegaverse low angst and full of an omega being spoiled rotten - physically and emotionally - and that’s exactly what this is.
The pack dynamic here is also spectacular, the guys balanced each other out so well.

🎶 “But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you” 🎶
The moment Hailey (h) presents as an Omega, she is cast out of her mother’s home, deemed one too many for the pack. With nowhere else to turn, she takes a job at Lavender Moon, a scent club that promises independence and a crash course in surviving Omega life, even if she feels like she is failing at both. Everything shifts when a confident Beta and his pack of devoted Alpha firefighters set their sights on her, offering protection, desire, and the chance to be cherished.
🤍•.¸✿¸.•💌•.❀•THOUGHTS •❀.•💌•.¸✿¸.•🤍
Hailey needed someone to accept and love her for who she was. She had always felt vulnerable because her mother destroyed her confidence and made her feel like she was not worth anything. When she was designated as an Omega, her own mother kicked her out at the exact moment she needed her most. That rejection created deep abandonment and trust issues. She refused to get attached because she was afraid of losing anyone she cared about. Hayes, Sterling, and Nate valued and respected her for her true personality, not as part of some humiliation ritual, even though she initially assumed they were playing her. Hayes played his cards right and made sure they all met intentionally. He knew Nate had been obsessing over Hailey, so he suggested they go to a scent club under the guise that he had found an omega they would all be interested in. In reality, he had already connected the dots and realized that his Hailey was Nate’s Hailey, the same omega who had visited the fire station.
Hayes, as a sweet Beta, was attentive and made grand gestures because he wanted to show Hailey that she was worth beautiful and extravagant things. Nate was healing from the traumatizing experience of being around Hailey’s mother’s alpha pack. He was also coming to terms with having an omega alongside Sterling and Hayes, especially because their dynamic worked so effortlessly that they did not have to overthink it. There were heavy themes of insecurity and past trauma because Hailey struggled to let people in. She was afraid of what it meant to fully trust someone and commit to them wholeheartedly. Still, they reassured her and moved at her pace. Even Hayes, who wanted her to quit her job so he could spoil her constantly, respected her boundaries. They were exactly what she needed. They were deeply attuned to her emotions and sensitive to how she responded to different levels of forwardness. Their overprotectiveness was charming, and she loved the attention because it helped her understand what healthy love could look like.
Sterling struggled with grief because he wanted their first time to be different, not during her heat. He wanted it to be special and memorable, something chosen on their own terms. In the moment, he wrestled with the urge to claim her, and Nate had to physically hold him back before he crossed that line. Hayes took her to meet his family. Sterling finally had the omega he had always dreamed of. Nate was healing, surrounded by everyone he loved in the same space. After her heat, Hailey was unapologetically clingy and needy, and she loved being spoiled. I loved that Hayes was the first one she bonded with because he was the first person she genuinely felt comfortable with. She liked him because he was kind, attentive, and thoughtful, not because pheromones were pulling them together. She always had issues with Alphas and needed time to warm up to Sterling and Nate, but she felt at peace with Hayes from the very beginning.
🤍•.¸✿¸.•💌•.❀•OVERALL •❀.•💌•.¸✿¸.•🤍
It moved rather quickly, but when it comes to omegaverse, I don’t mind because the scent bond makes it nearly impossible for them to stay away from each other. That need for close proximity is part of the dynamic. It was a sweet romance, and for anyone who loves omegaverse, it was fluffy and adorable, nesting and all.

“I knew if I didn’t force his hand, he’d never make a move. I know you only met her at the firehouse, but she’s special, Sterling. She’s the fucking one, and I know that sounds crazy, but the fact that his Hailey is also my Hailey? Tell me that isn’t fucking fate. Tell me she couldn’t be our missing piece.”

Alpha read
I was so happy when Sarah picked this book back up! I’ve known about it since 2024, and the Lavender Moon universe is just that incredible. I couldn’t wait to get more of it (and if you still haven’t read Lavender Moon, this is your sign)
I absolutely loved Hailey-Cherry—she more than deserved those three hot men in her corner. And of course one of them had to be a sassy Beta as her partner in crime, because is it even a Sarah book without a Beta like that? But let me be fair to Sterling and Nate too, because those Alphas moved heaven and earth to be with her and finally complete their pack. Also… MOM’S EX?? That alone was top-tier. Oh, and did I mention they’re firefighters? Yep.
This book completely made me fall in love with omegaverse all over again. I loved it so much!

You know, I used to think the side plots of romance books where the main character got kidnapped or was threatened or some flavor of danger happened were cliche, but after reading this book which had NONE of that, I hate to say it but I miss it. This really hurts me to say cause I LOVE Sarah Blue but this one just didn’t hit the mark for me unfortunately. Once they were happily together around halfway through the book I began to space out and not really care anymore. I think personally I just wasn’t in the mood for a fast burn, but if you are I’d give it a chance!! There just wasn’t a lot of that yearning that I’ve been craving and the sexual tension that they “shouldn’t” act on ya know?
I wanted to like this book so bad, but unfortunately I just got bored :(

Looking for a great Omegaverse, then look no further! I absolutely love an omegaverse that has the whole pack in a relationship with each other. Throw in some hot firefighters and moms ex than I’m definitely on board! The individual relationships between the guys was wonderful and Haily was the icing on the cake! I definitely recommend this book!

Another amazing OV from Sarah Blue!
I loved the characters and their chemistry. The storyline was fun and I was invested from the beginning.
Very low angst. Hailey, our FMC is spoiled rotten by her guys and I loved the pack dynamics so much! Great and quick read, if you enjoy OV, I’d highly recommend reading this one :)

I wanted a little more depth and emotional connection in some dating/courting scenes before the heat hit. As always, the male beta was sexy and unhinged in the best way.

Solid OMV with taboo themes and a sweet, dedicated pack. It was going to be a 4 star for me until 60% through where I just got a little bored. It's a fast burn, so they were together and happy quickly, and then the story went on with very little tension or issues.
I love this universe though, and Sarah Blue always writes books that keep me reading.
Slight OW drama in a couple scenes from her mom or her mom's pack, but it's nothing that affects their relationships.
A couple continuity errors. Also who tf took care of her cat that she left in her apartment while they went on a weekend trip that one time? Bc she didn't have friends at that point.

ARC REVIEW
Nothing hits quite like a Sarah Blue OV.
That said I felt a deep sense of kinship with Hailey in her journey to see herself in a different light. You can really see the emotional journey she goes on to battle all those thoughts that were imprinted on her.
Also never thought I’d be into firefighters but here we are.
As per usual this includes a beta with BDE

- I hate her mom and their pack so much 😫 I don’t know how Nate didn’t see through her bullshit from the beginning.
- Sterling was probably my favorite character, I loved how solid and steadfast he was, he really was the perfect packed leader
- It has been a while since I read Lavender Moon, but I really enjoyed seeing those characters pop up again, once I refreshed my memory on who all the characters were.
- Please let this be a series with Riley’s story being next 🙏🏼 A forbidden step-son omegaverse romance?! P&TY
- Overall: I really enjoyed this one! It was relatively low angst with tons of spice and heartwarming moments.

┈ MY THOUGHTS ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
- I hate her mom and their pack so much 😫 I don’t know how Nate didn’t see through her bullshit from the beginning.
- Sterling was probably my favorite character, I loved how solid and steadfast he was, he really was the perfect packed leader
- It has been a while since I read Lavender Moon, but I really enjoyed seeing those characters pop up again, once I refreshed my memory on who all the characters were.
- Please let this be a series with Riley’s story being next 🙏🏼 A forbidden step-son omegaverse romance?! P&TY
- Overall: I really enjoyed this one! It was relatively low angst with tons of spice and heartwarming moments.

Ahh! How I love a Sarah Blue book! And always look forward to them so much! It felt so good to be back in her omegaverse world. I absolutely loved this story and these characters. I was hooked instantly, especially by the fun and unexpected way Sarah brought everyone together and the fun twist was so good.
Hailey was such a sweet omega, and I loved watching her confidence grow as the story progressed. After everything she’d been through, leaving home and designating later in life. She had a lot to navigate and learn. These men had no problem stepping in, surrounding her with love and support as she found her footing, and it was so heartwarming to watch.
This pack really was so much fun! I will always love a beta in a pack, especially one as spunky and fun as Hayes. He was absolutely perfect. Sterling was the ideal pack leader, calm, steady, and grounding. While Nate understood Hailey’s past on a deeper level, which made their connection feel so meaningful. Together, they created a pack that felt safe, loving, and exactly what Hailey needed.
I highly recommend this book! It was such a good read!!

Okay first of all, her name is HAILEY. Hello??? Yes please! Sarah has done it again, writing an absolutely unputdownable omegaverse romance that strikes the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I can not even tell you how many times I cackled out loud or kicked my feet with glee. Cherry Bomb is all the good feelings in one book, with the emotional realness that comes from having a difficult past. I cannot even begin to fully express how much I loved this book! I highly recommend!

Review of advance copy received from Author
Cherry Bomb? More like Cherry Yes Please. 🍒💣
Sarah Blue does it again, casually drops us back into Lavender Moon like she never left and then proceeds to set the whole place on fire (lovingly). Hailey/Cherry is an omega just trying to survive after being kicked out by her garbage mother, dancing her way through life at a strip club… until a rich, confident beta offers her money, safety, and a seat at a poker table. Totally normal start. Very chill. Nothing unhinged will follow. (Lies.)
Enter the pack:
Hayes, the beta with “alpha energy” who steals every scene and every heart. Sassy, confident, and absolutely the glue holding this chaos together. Sarah truly writes betas like a public service.
Nate, the firefighter with history, baggage, and the audacity to be her mother’s ex-packmate. Taboo? Yes. Hot? Unfortunately, also yes.
Sterling, the quiet, competent pack leader who doesn’t say much—but when he does, it’s game over. Soft only for his omega, terrifying to everyone else. We love a silent protector.
The dynamics? Immaculate. The found family vibes? Elite. The communication? Refreshingly adult (thank you, Sarah). The heat scenes? Perfectly balanced; spicy without hijacking the plot, individual and group moments done right. And Hailey’s refusal to give up her independence while still accepting top-tier spoiling (new BMW, redecorated room, yes please) felt real and empowering.
This book is sweet, spicy, funny, and emotionally satisfying without unnecessary drama. I inhaled it in one sitting and immediately wanted more, of Hailey, of this pack, and absolutely of the Lavender Moon universe.
Final verdict: If you like omegaverse, found family, betas who steal the show, and men who would burn the world down for their omega, congrats, this one’s for you. And Sarah? I’m ready for Riley. 👀🔥

And Sarah has done it again 🤌🏽 another new pack added to my list of favorites and a new Beta to obsess over! I absolutely loved Lavender Moon and was excited to be back in that universe with Cherry (Hailey) and her pack 🙂↕️. I’m OBSESSED with Nate, Hayes, and Sterling and how we see everyone’s different sides and emotions. It was wonderful. We all know Sarah delivers on the spice and boy was I sweating 🥵. Also Hailey’s mom is a c u next tuesday and I’m glad Nate and Hailey got away and have found their forever with each other and Hayes and Sterling 🥹.

Spice: open door
Format: ebook
My gosh I loved this. It was definitely sweeter than I thought it would be, but it was just what I needed. I wasn't sure I would like the whole mom's ex part, but honestly love Nate so much and want to give him such a big hug. F Erin and her dumb pack, what Hailey and Nate went through is gross. The 911 call had me laughing and turned on all at the same time, what a fantastic scene. I love how this pack flows together. They are all missing pieces of each other and it's beautiful. I'm very intrigued for Rileys story afte that little tid bit at the end!

Sarah Blue is synonymous with a great f*cking time.
If you want a steamy, sweet, funny, low stakes omegaverse read with a little dash of taboo then this book is for you!
This book is second in a series of standalones and can be read in any order.
“Your neediness is based on hormones. Mine is bone deep desperation for you to pay attention to me.” Ugh my baby Hayes. Loved to see a beta who had such BDE.

He kept the glove he used during the 🍒removal 🍒

I absolutely freaking loved this new release by Sarah Blue!! Thank you for the early copy. The characters in this were so enjoyable, I loved Hayes's big outgoing personality, Sterling's strength and how much Nate wanted to take care of Hailey. This was full of wonderful spice and a sweet story of Hailey coming into her own as a late blooming omega. 100% would recommend.

I enjoyed this book, I liked the characters and story line but it felt a bit flat and I think it had to do with the story being a bit shorter. We get highlights of things but not much depth to the characters, but the relationship between the guys and Hailey were well written but there wasn’t much tension. A very easy sweet read.
