Becoming My Brother’s Omega

Rate this book
Albie:
I’m an omega trapped in a beta’s body—hopefully not for much longer. I’m taking the steps I need to become an omega, all so I can find my perfect alpha, pop out a bunch of kids and live happily ever after. Well, that was the plan until my brother and I end up locked inside the garage he works at right when I go into my first heat. This might not be the happily ever after I planned for, but perhaps it’s the one I need.

Keane:
I just want to be left alone to work, save up and eventually open my own garage, but my brother has other ideas. He’s all up in my grill, smelling like strawberries and making my cheeks heat with his flirty remarks. When he goes into heat while we’re trapped and desperately needs a knot, it appears fate has dealt me one hell of a card. I only hope that when his heat is over, I’ll end up with a full house.

A super spicy, slick, breeding-heavy, mpreg, taboo omegaverse good time ! Nova always bring the spicy with the super sweet and these two had me just tearing up 🥹

____________________________

Nova always gives me exactly what I need. You get the filthy spice, the dirtiest dirty talk, and the sweetest, swooniest scenes that make you just want to hug their characters. BMBO was all of this wrapped up in a deliciously taboo, brotherly bow.

When you’re trapped in a garage with your older brother on your birthday, and he unexpectedly goes into heat.. what’s an alpha to do? 👀

This is a story of Albie and Keane, two brothers who find themselves in a sticky situation that neither of them planned for (but neither of them are complaining.)

BMBO is a true testament to the fact that a book can have spice, plot, and FEELING, and still be only about 100 pages. This is the perfect read for anyone who is looking to suspend reality for a bit and get lost in the taboo!

I never expect to FEEL so much for Novas characters, but Albie specifically really had me all up in my feelings. I’m so proud of him for going after what he wanted, and I’m so proud of him for becoming and embracing who he was always destined to be. I hope these two live a long happy life together with their babies 🥹🩵

Very spicy, very taboo - so if that's not your thing, don't get this.

I really loved these two, and I loved the deeper message of finally being comfortable in your identity and your own skin, and the greater metaphor for Albie, originally a beta, becoming an omega.

The ending was very sweet, and I really loved these two together. I love this author's omegaverse and I hope we get more and more!

⭐⭐⭐⭐.75 /5

Couple: Albie and Keane.

Nova once again nails an omegaverse story. This was one adorable novella with two adorable blood brothers who were very hot together. I loved the plot about a beta who didn't feel like one and took matters in his own hands to become an omega. One of the things I like the most in the OV universe is how we can have parallels to important political things from real life in a context that shows it all from a new perspective. Sometimes this distance is what people need to finally understand some matters. You have to suspend reality about the entire physiological transformation that happens due to a single medicine, but that's not hard at all. The message is way more important, and for the length of the story, there wasn't really a need to dive more into that aspect.

I really loved Albie and Keane, both individually and as a couple. Love how the mating worked and haha This is a really lovely story that I recommend to anyone who likes omegaverse and sweet taboo.

"Albie: My brother blows out a choppy breath and stands. All six- foot- three of him towers over me and my insides flip. God, he’s big. Has he always been this large? I suck in a deep breath and the warm, toasty scent of him creeps up my nose again. The smell is like a warm hug for the heart."

Main Characters:
5/5 - Albie: 30yo; he/him; petname: baby; Omega, bratty and a yapper, big brother, tiny protector.
5/5 - Keane: 28yo; he/him; nicknames: Key, petnames: baby; Alpha, quite, mechanic, is in love with big brother, aka the younger brother.

As always Nova brings a story full of emotion and filthy dirty smut.
I loved this story. Albie's strength to live his truth as an omega was so refreshing!
I've never read an omegaverse with a beta transitioning to an omega, it was beautiful and written perfectly.
Keane was just so adorable all quiet and shy. Albie his tiny big brother, his protector *swoon.
They being locked in a garage, Keane's workplace, was the cherry on top for me.
I adored forced proximity and "we have no choice but to wait".
I loved every minute of this lil novella.

"Keane: “Please, I’m so empty.”
My heart stampedes. Is he asking what I think he is?
He rolls onto his front and yanks his boxers down and flicks them off. My cock throbs at the sight of his arse in the air and his thighs spread. Slick pulses from his gaping hole, dribbling down his balls and onto the seat covers beneath him.
My brother, who I’m half in love with, is on display for me.
...
I’m desperate to sink into him and release my knot, claim my big brother like I’ve been fantasising about for months and take away his pain."

"Keane: His heat wave is over; he doesn’t need to come right now even if we’re still attached. This would be indulgent, more than what we both signed up for, but fuck, I want it.
...
“This is so wrong…” he murmurs into my armpit, “but I can’t stop myself. I want more, want you deeper, in my womb.”
“Albie,” I hiss, then edge even further into his willing body. The tip of my cock prods at the entrance of his womb. Would it open up for me if I keep pushing, suck the cum from my cock and breed my big brother."

Nova did it again!!!

Honestly, Nova's writing and omegaverse is like a match made in heaven for me. It’s done so WELL. I loved Albie and Keane from the start. Yes, the spice was fantastic (as always) but their story also made me super emotional, especially during the epilogue.

I highly recommend if you're a fan of taboo omegaverse! 😈

This was exactly what I wanted. Super sweet, spicy, feel good omegaverse story.

Albie dreams of becoming an omega and has been taking meds to help the transition. He discovers his alpha brother is his fated mate when he suddenly goes into heat trapped with Keane.

I could have read 100 more pages.

What a beautiful story. I didn’t expect to get in my feels but Albie becoming who he wanted, who he was always meant to be hit me in my chest.

Keane and Albies’s love was just so sweet.

I went into this expecting taboo, heat-driven chaos and filthy, over-the-top mpreg energy...and yes, it absolutely delivered on that front. It's hot. It's intense. It does not hold back.

But what I didn't expect was how emotional this story would be.

From the author's note alone, I had tears in my eyes. And by the epilogue? I was fully crying.

Albie's journey from beta to omega wasn't just a biological change. It was identity. It was longing. It was years of feeling slightly out of place and finally stepping into who he was always meant to be. Watching him embrace that truth...despite fear, despite stigma, despite the world being loud and cruel was heartbreakingly beautiful.

Yes, the heat scenes are explosive. Yes, the chemistry is wild. But underneath all of that is so much tenderness. Keane's quiet, steady support. The way he doesn't belittle Albie's truth. The way he shows up. The way he loves him.

This story is unapologetically taboo. It’s spicy, raw and intense. But at it's core, it's about queer joy, self-acceptance, and choosing love even when it's complicated.
I laughed. I blushed. I cried.

And if a book makes me cry in the epilogue after all that heat-fueled chaos? It did something right.

This was sweet, swoony, and deliciously taboo in that way Nova does so well.

Albie is absolutely adorable. He’s determined, hopeful, and so sure about the future he’s planned for himself… until fate throws him into the most unexpected situation imaginable. Watching his carefully laid plans unravel into something far more intimate and emotional was such a treat.

And Keane? The soft, protective alpha energy in this book is EVERYTHING. He might act gruff and focused on his garage dreams, but when it comes to Albie, he’s all instinct, devotion, and barely restrained longing. The heat scenes are intense (as expected in a Nova Omegaverse), but what really sold it for me was the tenderness underneath it all.
Trapped together. First heat. Protective alpha. Forbidden tension.

It’s high-heat, yes, but it’s also surprisingly soft and heartfelt.

If you love taboo Omegaverse with a sweet omega and a protective, possessive alpha who absolutely falls first? Highly recommend.

T@b** and mpreg? Yes please 😌 This book delivered the perfect mix of sweetness and spice. Keane and Albie’s chemistry was absolutely flawless—every moment between them just worked 💜

I really loved Albie’s journey—how he was able to transition from a Beta to an Omega and finally realize his dream of having a family. It made his story feel especially meaningful and fulfilling. He always felt, deep down, that he was meant to be an omega—and that one day, he’d have the family he’d dreamed of.

Nova gave us such a good story and I couldn’t get enough of it. If you love a good t@b** brother’s love then this is the one to jump into. Again it’s perfect mix of sweetness and spice.

Please ✔️ TRIGGER WARNINGS before jumping in. If you have none then just jump in 😉.

This was a spicy and emotional mm taboo omegaverse romance.
Albie is transitioning from a beta to an omega, and goes to visit his brother to celebrate his birthday. Events escalate as they get locked in together at his workplace, and Albie's first heat triggers.
It's high spice and lust, but also explored their raw emotional connection, outer conflict v's inner desires, and their mate bond. It has a sweet ending, and Albie and Keane are the sweetest characters.

I really really liked this book. It made me feel SO many things. I felt their connection, their chemistry… it was so strong that I couldn’t stop smiling most of the time.

You could feel how much they wanted to be together and how long they’d been struggling with those feelings, even tho we only got a few moments of it. And I actually loved that.

I loved the side characters too. They were all so cute.

That epilogue?? Yeah… it had me tearing up. It was so fucking cute and kinda sad, but not sad in a bad way. I was literally sobbing bc omg… it was just so… I don’t even know what word to use. Maybe refreshing? Like it felt so good to see that happen bc I was waiting for it. I wanted it so bad, and I just wanted them all to be happy.

I don’t wanna say what it is bc no spoilers, but yeah… that ending. I wouldn’t say it was unexpected bc I had a feeling it was gonna happen, but I’m so happy it did. And the fact that I still felt THAT much while reading it?? Yeah.

They’re both amazing. I love that they can both be dominant and submissive and just switch whenever they feel like it. I love that they didn’t care about what anyone else thought. They just knew they needed to be together, and honestly… how could they not? You wait your whole life to find your person, your mate, and then just walk away? Yeah, no.

So I love that they chose each other anyway, went against everything, and still ended up getting the support they needed.

And yeah, this isn’t gonna be for everyone, but who cares. I’ve been loving Omegaverse books lately, and this just confirmed it again.

Also, I loved that page at the beginning… I think it’s the dedication page? Not 100% sure what it’s called lol, but the message there?? I loved it. It was basically about being yourself even when people expect you to be something else, and that just hit. It felt really refreshing.

Overall, yeah… I loved this book. Easy 5⭐️.

I loved Key and Albie, their relationship, how much they care about each other. I love that they tried to hold back but just couldn’t stay away. That’s my thing.

I do wish it was longer, not gonna lie. I wanted more of them. But it didn’t feel rushed or incomplete at all. It felt right. I just didn’t want it to end.

Lowkey wish there was a second book continuing their story. Like Nova, if you ever see this… pls, I need more of them 😭

But yeah, I’m definitely gonna keep reading her books. She’s incredible. I love her writing, I love the nicknames, I loved everything that happened here.

That’s it. I just need more from her at this point lol

What do you do when fate decides that your brother is more than that?

Becoming My Brother's Omega was a really nice surprise for me to be honest. I expected the smut, no surprise here, but what I did not expect was for this book to be this full of emotions as well.

Albie has struggled with his Beta identity for a long time... he suffered in silence, and had to live life like everything was ok when things were definitely not. All his life he dreamed of being an Omega, having babies, being someone's mate. This was his innermost desire... until one day he decided to take fate in his own hands and change his destiny. What he did not expect was for his brother to be the mate he was searching for, waiting for.

Keane has been in love with Albie for a long time. He knows it is wrong, he knows he needs to walk away, but how can he when his Alpha let's him know the mate he was looking for has always been by his side? Keane is hurting, but when the opportunity arises to have Albie he decides to give it a try because this is what his heart always longed for.

It is nice to see them go from being family to becoming a family, and I loved how genuine their feelings for each other were. They knew society would look down on them, but, as I said in the beginning what do you do when fate decides that your brother is more than that? Both of them were searching for something they could've missed if Albie didn't become an Omega, and while tab00, the society they live into is not a stranger to brothers becoming mates since biology is at work, not a personal choice ( in the first place or for the most part ).

Albie is a 30-year old Beta who is struggling with his designation identity. He’s always felt like an Omega trapped in a Beta’s body, so he started taking “Omegaform” drops to help him achieve his correct designation. He gets hit with his first gear by surprise when he’s locked in a garage with his brother, Keane.

This was such a sweet story. I enjoyed the framing of Albie’s struggles with his identity in the form of his designation. I hope that bit of fantasy will help put this genuine struggle in a context that is not met with a harsh emotional response. He’s just a man who knows in his heart that he’s an Omega, so he takes steps to make it reality. 🥹

Yes, this is a spicy erotic novella, but set this story apart was the identity struggles Albie was so transparent about. From the beginning, we (the reader) were able to feel his sadness at the possibility of staying a Beta and his happiness when he “officially” became an Omega.

Even with the serious theme, it was still such a cute read. Albie nesting in the background of a pickup truck without even realizing it was so adorable 🤭 I loved how Keane was so determined to make Albie’s first heat as comfortable as possible.

This was just a fun, spicy novella and I really enjoyed it.

TLDR: Spicy-Sweet, Taboo, M-Preg Omegaverse Romance

If you’re looking for something both sweet and spicy, this is perfect for you. You’ll get all of that and more in Becoming My Brother’s Omega.

🖤 Nova! I was not expecting to be hot and bothered one second and sobbing the next, but here we are. I absolutely loved these two. I know I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, they are absolutely perfect. I related to Albie so much, it made me so happy when he was met with nothing but love and understanding when he finally told the important people around him, just like I was. When I read the ending and realized his vision came true, I was beyond happy and excited for them both. That ending had me in tears, it was everything they deserved and more. Oh and don’t get me started on the name they chose for one of the babies🥹😭.

🖤 Ok, now time for the raunchy shit. First of all, I had never read anything with the armpit kink, so color me intrigued. Off I go on my quest to find more books with it or if you have any recs, I’m all ears. My god Albie! Sir, this is a Wendy’s! lol sorry I had to say it again because goddamn the mouth he has on him, I mean Keane too but Jesus Christ Albie surprised the fuck out of me. This was all the chili peppers spicy! The knots, the slick, the power bottoming, the lactation play, and armpit play, all chef’s kiss! Omg and the BREEDING!!! Ugh all so fucking hot. You killed me Nova. I am dead.

If you’re looking for some spicy MM omegaverse with brocest, mpreg, first heats, bratty power bottom with size difference and an armpit k!nk then BMBO might just be for you! It’s funny and spicy with unique plot and all the humour you’ll come to find in a Nova Burns book.

Albie is a beta who’s never felt right in his own body. He’s always dreamed of being an omega and when he finally gets the chance to live out his dream, he’s caught off guard when he goes into his first heat while trapped with his brother. Keane is an alpha who’s started to notice his brother smelling more and more tempting everyday. He shouldn’t have these feelings but when he gets the chance to help Albie through a sudden heat, there’s no way he’s going to turn his big brother away.

Perfect little gem of a taboo MM omegaverse romance.

There's Keane, an alpha, and his brother, Albie, assigned beta at birth. Albie has been uncomfortable in his own skin for a long time. He knows he's an omega and is taking a drug that will hopefully help him transition.

Fortunately for Albie, the drug works, and he finally experiences his first heat. Unfortunately, he and his brother are trapped for the weekend in the auto shop where Keane works. What's an alpha to do with a needy omega in heat, even if that omega is his brother? And are these feelings the result of heat hormones or is there something real there?

The heat is scorching, but tempered with tenderness and concern. Despite the taboo nature of their relationship, you know these two belong together forever.

I really enjoyed this book so much! I loved the way the author wrote about the transition from beta to omega, I thought it was done really well in the sense of him not feeling like he was born the correct way.
I love that he was such a bossy bottom, because you don’t stop being a big brother just because baby bro is knotting you 😂
This is the first omegaverse that I’ve read, that we actually read about the birthing process (maybe I just need to read more). That did take me a min to decide how I felt about that.
From fisting to delivery is something new for me 😂😂

Overall, I think it was great

There hasn't been a Burns book I have read that I didn't like! This one is no different! I loved the fact that Albie transitioned from an beta to an omega, we got a slight glance of that journey, and how it came full force when he went to see him brother and that through him into his first heat!
I liked the emotional sides of this book too!! The glimpse into the future was so adorable!
And that ending brought was so sickeningly sweet!

If you’re going to write an incest story, it needs to feel believable. Right now, the brotherly dynamic doesn’t come through, and there’s a lack of tension. Albie thinks his brother hates him, but instead of exploring that through conversation with Keane, the story rushes straight into them having sex. Keane calling him “baby” during his first heat also feels unconvincing. Everything progresses far too quickly. With more emotional buildup and stronger tension between the characters, this could have been much more effective.

Nothing but the best from Nova! I absolutely loved Albie and Keane. This story was spicy, the chemistry was off the charts, and the tender moments were beautiful. But the most special part was the story & the unconditional love & acceptance Keane had for Albie. The epilogue had me in tears.
I went from laughing, to checking over my shoulder that no one could see the smut I was reading, to crying. I honestly don’t know how Nova does it, but they always manage to bring out so many emotions through their writing. Nova is quickly making omegaverse one of my favourite subgenres.

Another deliciously short smutty and taboo read by Nova Burns. This time set in the Omegaverse so also some fun mpreg.
This story follows Albie the beta who wants to become an Omega, find his Alpha mate and have a lot of babies. He’s taking medication to activate his dormant Omega genes when low and behold his first heat starts when he's locked in a garage with his younger Alpha brother Keane. Let the smutty chaos ensue. Overall it was a fun, spicy time

Ok I knew this book would be kinky and filthy, filled with smut but I wasn't expecting it to hit me emotionally as well! This was a sweet and emotional journey for one brother recognizing who he wants to be. I loved how his brother supported him. The spice was spicing hard as always 🥵🥵🥵. This author writes the best smut period 🔥🔥🔥🔥. The epilogue had me in my feels and seeing them with their little family was everything! I can't wait for more stories from this author 🥰.

I will admit that I didn’t read the blurb. I saw Nona Burns and Mpreg and clicked buy.

What I got was even better than I expected! I love that this is like an omegaverse version of a trans MC. It was done beautifully! Very spicy. Sweet MCs. Diverse dynamics. Redemption. And an epilogue that makes you cry. Such a read!

I liked the spice and the premise of the story. Also really liked their chemistry together and the HEA. I didn't click with the pair of them as much as I wanted to though (through no fault of the writing) so I've had to drop a star. Still a good taboo mm story though.
