Schutzschuld: Ein M/M-Mafia-Omegaverse-Zwangsverheiratungs-Mpreg-Romance

by Marian Black

Verkauft, um die Schulden seines Vaters zu begleichen. Verheiratet, um zu überleben. Aber Liebe war nie Teil des Deals.

Als Alex' Vater ihn an den rücksichtslosen Mafia-Boss Ilya Orlov verkauft, um eine Spielschuld zu begleichen, erwartet Alex Brutalität. Was er stattdessen bekommt, ist weitaus gefä Schutz, Respekt und einen Ehemann, der darauf besteht, ihm Wahlmöglichkeiten zu geben, die er nie für möglich gehalten hätte.

Ilya hat Alex vor einem Monster gerettet, aber die Abmachung sollte rein geschäftlich sein – nichts weiter. Doch während sie Seite an Seite arbeiten und Alex sich als unersetzlich für Ilyas Imperium erweist, beginnen die Mauern zwischen ihnen zu bröckeln. Und als Alex' Hitze einsetzt, entzündet die Biologie etwas, das keiner von ihnen leugnen kann.

Aber ihre Feinde lassen sie nicht in Frieden. Viktor Kozlov, der brutale Alpha, der Alex zuerst wollte, erklärt den Krieg. Leichen stapeln sich. Drohungen eskalieren. Und als Alex entdeckt, dass er schwanger ist, werden die Einsätze unmöglich – nicht nur sein Leben, sondern die Zukunft ihres ungeborenen Kindes hängt in der Balance.

Während die Gewalt näher rückt und Alex von ihrem schlimmsten Feind entführt wird, wird Ilya die Stadt dem Erdboden gleichmachen, um ihn zurückzubekommen. Denn das hier hat aufgehört, eine bloße Abmachung zu sein.

Ein glühend heißer Omegaverse-Roman mit einer widerwilligen arrangierten Ehe, einem besitzergreifenden Mafia-Alpha, hart erkämpftem Vertrauen und einem Omega, der sich weigert, weniger als ein gleichberechtigter Partner zu sein. Mit expliziten Hitze-Szenen, männlicher Schwangerschaft und einem Happy End.

This is ”written” by AI author.

[Sierra Fitzwater · Rating 2 out of 5]

While I did enjoy the story concept, it was shallow and rushed, and I'm pretty sure it was written by AI. There was a lot of repetitive statements, and there were even a few instances of a character switch in the middle of a scene, where the scene started off with it being one person, and ended with it being an entirely different person.

Ok...so this is probably the third or so novel of hers I've read and it's all the same basic plot. Poor/in debt omega gets involved with some mafia don or other (Russian, Italian, etc), omega proves himself invaluable to the organization, someone kidnaps the omega, alpha mafia don rescues him, the end (may or may not be pregnant at some point). The plot is predictable on top of that and some characters' actions make no sense (how the villain in this one was so obsessed with having Alex, the omega, to the point that he started a war to get him-just because Ilya had gotten him first and he wanted to possess him in order to break him). Why would he blow up his own organization just for one omega? Another issue I have with this author is that she seems to have about 10 or so male names that she knows are common in Italian or Russian households. There were two (maybe three? one may've died) Sergeis, two Mikhails, and two Viktors in this one. It made it hard to keep up with who's who. And then you meet Ilya's Aunt Katya-and Ilya and Alex are also naming their baby girl Katya. I mean, it's confusing. She also has multiple characters with the same name in her other novels that make it hard to keep up with who's who.

Alex owns my whole heart--this book killed me. it hurt how Alex was sold by his father, and he was expecting the worst. And then he got Ilya, who wanted to give him all the choices he had never had before. I loved how Ilya wanted him to feel safe in all things and always made sure to ask him before he did anything. I love how he assured Alex that he would always have choices and Ilya would never take anything by force.

I liked how Alex started working on Ilya's books and rooted out inefficiencies and traitors. I liked how he made himself useful to the business and how the others started seeing him as more than the omega their boss had bought. I liked how Alex proved himself. I loved how he and Ilya worked in the office together and slowly got to know one another and how Alex started trusting Ilya.

It killed me how Viktor started a war over Alex and wanted him back. I loved how Ilya was never going to let that happen. I'm not sure why Alex believed his dad's story about an aunt and cousin he had never even heard of before... And it was super confusing that basically everyone in this book shared the same five names. Not sure what that was about, except that it constantly left me very confused.

But I loved Alex and Ilya and everything about them and their relationship and how they shared Alex's heat and had a little girl. They were so cute and sweet and I died over Ilya being the mafia boss he was known to be, killing to get to his mate.

Very good

First time reading this author. Fast paced omegaverse, mafia story complete with forced arranged marriage, a high heat mating, and plenty of blood and guts to whet your reading appetite.

[Kayla Bell · Rating 2 out of 5]

Honestly, I would have probably given it a 3 if it wasn't for the last quarter of the book. It's an easy, fun read, but not a literary masterpiece by any means. It doesn't even have much smut, either. Several phrases and things are repeated often to a point of annoyance. Spoilers below.


So the only smut we really get is when the omega, Alex, goes into heat. It was okay. I wasn't bothered by this. Books can just fun little reads. But then the final confrontation with the big bag boss is led in by Alex's dad calling to say his niece was taken. And Alex is like "I have an AUNT? I HAVE A COUSIN?" Like, why the fuck wouldn't you know that? Okay, and say you didn't and there was a valid reason, he could have called his fucking UNCLE who he'd already SPOKEN TO and been like "do these people even exist?"

And like, fine, blame pregnancy brain, his smart mob boss husband SHOULD HAVE SUGGESTED IT.

I was fucking floored by how ridiculous this was.

Also, as a formerly pregnant person, there is no way you feel a baby moving at 6 weeks pregnant. None. Y'all could have GOOGLED THAT SHIT. CMON.

4.5 Stars -Quick and Lovely

This was fast-paced yet balanced, and we didn't linger on any one element of the story. A few things that niggled at me were the name, having more than one character with the same name is just a no.

This was going soo well until yeah amma call it stupid, until Alex became predictable by believing his father's lie I mean this man sold you only to end up in the same situation he betrayed you for, you know your family line so why the heck would a sudden cousin come from nowhere AND only then did you think about the safety of your baby!

I'm all for love but Ilya dude you are the head of your criminal empire why the heck would you risk your husband and child on a lie you KNEW for a fact was a lie!!!!! Like come on man! Sure it was a way for drama but again it was too predictable and unwise.

With all that being said I really enjoyed this and I'm slowly becoming a fan of the omegaverse genre. The writing is so smooth and sensual that you feel like you're a part of every scene.

First Book with an Alpha and Omega....a little confused, but I like it.

I'm a romance girly, but I haven't gotten into books outside the norm yet. This was definitely my first one, but I think it was a good gateway drug. I was a little confused by the terminology and quite frankly some of the anatomy, but you know what it worked. at the end of the day two people fell in love.

The MMCs came together in an unconventional way. I was definitely not a fan of how they came together, but I was all for how they ended.Ilya was kind and respectful from the beginning and gave Alex the time that he needed to really grasp the situation. Total fan of that! The book was short, but the author did a good job of creating a slow burn. and of course there's a happy ending. I would definitely recommend it.

I picked this up on a whim when it showed up in my kindle feed, and after reading it I did some poking around, and I just don't feel great about what I found. The author published multiple books per week (not just per month) and I didn't see anything anywhere that indicated something like she got the rights to old books back and was republishing them. Audiobooks are in virtual voice. I don't like to get too judgmental about covers, but if I'm already thinking AI, I can't deny they look pretty iffy, too.

The only thing is that this book really didn't have goofy dangling elements or weird mistakes, which is what people primarily find in AI books. The story was really smooth and kind of perfectly hit all of the beats of a mafia romance. Even so, I just don't think I can support this author without finding some clear evidence that all her books aren't gen AI.

[Leekoo · Rating 1 out of 5]

As some other rewies stated i'm also pretty sure this was written by ai. And than nobody proofread ist bevor publishing it. There is one Szene, where Ales describes that he come into Ilyas Office and there are four people who look at him. But then there are only 3 people who interact in the szene and at the end he says 3 people leave. Like you could have catched that if you just read what you published. Also it seems like the Author knows like 10 russians names and so its really confusing. The omegaversepart is not a big plotpoint in the story and feels like an afterthougt just so Alex can get pregnant.

[Vanessa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Imagine being an Omega already living in a mafia world and having your father seek you twice to settle his debt... I’ve enjoyed this book but the repetition was overwhelming. The story is solid and enjoyable but the constant repetitions were driving me mad. Ilya was far too sweet and understanding. Alex, was well aware of his circumstances and super smart. We were practically given a heads up on his thoughts and feelings which made waiting for his heat to reach 100% intimacy with Ilya feel less like a bonding experience and more like a chore. Furthermore, they didn’t mate at the end? Why even mention it with the villain if the mmcs won’t even consider it?

[e v e r l o r e 🌙 · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall enjoyable. The writing wasn’t terrible at all, I was very surprised because usually with Mpreg they’re ridiculously fast paced and incoherent mostly but not this one. Easy to follow, great pace and I did love both characters. However, there is a LOT of repetitive statements and even some side characters had the same name which was VERY confusing when one was kind of a plot point. Such a small thing but definitely kept my thoughts straying from the story to “Wait, I’ve read this before” or “I thought this character did THIS? Were they different people??”

[Greer · Rating 2 out of 5]

This seems like it was written in AI. There were multiple uses of the same name for various people. It became comical. The father was named Victor. The bad guy was named Victor. There was an Aunt Katya and then a reference to the mother possibly also being Katya, and then they decided to name their baby Katya. There is more than one Sergei, there are two Dimitri’s I mean, come on.

[Laura Marie Hyden · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good Novel

This is a good Omegaverse novel. Z It doesn’t dive too deep into the lore of alphas and omega’s, but it gives enough information to where you get the gist of it. Also, it’s a pretty straightforward story. There’s not much world building, but somehow you can tell the main characters love each other. If you want to quick read that is sweet with a HE then dive right in.

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great omegaverse mafia love story

This book combined two tropes I love...omegaverse and mafia stories. At first it was not a love story but Ilya and Alex's relationship developed through mutual trust and respect. I loved the characters' personalities the most. Ilya was patient and protective with Alex. Alex was independent and strong for an omega.

[trina ostgaard · Rating 3 out of 5]

good light read

I love mafia books and this one was cute, I like that it was insta love or the main characters didn’t magically like each other at first sight. A good light read but not a lot of depth so depends on what your looks for. I would probably read again.

[Shelia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good

I love a good mafia story with a baby and happy ending. While it has a touch of the same storyline as another of her books, financial whiz, etc. it is still a goid read and enjoyable story.

[Nikki · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book delivered everything I want from a mafia omegaverse: high stakes, intense arranged marriage tension, and a possessive alpha who slowly reveals real depth.

It was dark, gripping, and completely binge-worthy. Read those warnings!!

[Kearstin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Names

It would have been better if most of the names had been unique. I'm pretty sure that other than the main couple, Yuri, and Galina, all the other first names were used at least two times. Some were used three times.

[why_books_reviews_ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Had a good start, but my god, it was very repetitive, like literally the same sentences non stop. I would suggest the writer to give it to someone to read before head with a critical eye.

However had a great potential.

[Hyra · Rating 1 out of 5]

What a dumbass story, i cant believe it i read until the end. And all i can say is ALEX is definitely stupid and annoying, act like he is fucking treasure. In fact if this happen irl, i will buried him alive. Ughhhh stupid

[LA FITCH · Rating 5 out of 5]

A really good romance starting with the omega being sold to the Don alpha. Despite his father's selling him to 2 different alphas the right one stepped up and gave him the life he always wanted. This book should not be missed.

wow. ok.

[Dee Davis · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was a pretty ok novel but the unoriginal and repetitive uses of the same names was a little bit exhausting. Pretty sure a quick Google search could’ve helped with the name issue.

[Amy K. · Rating 5 out of 5]

A delicious enemies-to-lovers mafia romance with lots of spice, an expected level of violence, and a lot of surprising sweetness.

[Amanda Luskey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great Story

I loved the story. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because multiple characters had the same name and it was a little confusing.
