Jared & Leon

Sudden Heats #1

by Lillian Lowe

One clinical trial. Two strangers. And a heat that refuses to be suppressed.

Jared
I’m desperate. Unemployed and with no savings left, I sign up for a high-paying medical trial for a new heat suppressant. The rules are simple: stay at the clinic for a month, take the pills, and collect the cash. It sounds like an easy paycheck—until the alpha steps into my room.

Leon isn’t just a lab assistant. He’s my every fantasy come to life. And suddenly, the suppressants that were supposed to keep me cool are failing, replaced by a heat so intense it’s burning me from the inside out.

Leon
I’m here to do a job, not to obsess over the muscular, gorgeous omega behind the glass. But when a staffing shortage puts me in charge of Jared’s medication, my professional distance goes up in smoke.

One touch, and I know he’s mine.

The protocol says I should call for help. My instincts say I should lock the door and claim him. Jared is drowning in a medically-induced fire, and I’m the only alpha who can put it out.

Jared & Leon is a steamy M/M Omegaverse short story featuring a heat suppressant clinical trial, forced proximity, intense heat cycles, and an alpha who will risk his career to protect his potential mate.

Part of the Sudden Heats series of sweet and steamy omegaverse standalones, about omegas who get surprised by their heats, and the alphas who lend them a helping hand—and fall hard and fast in the process. No mpreg, non-shifter omegaverse universe and HEAs guaranteed.

I really enjoyed this, not as much as I enjoyed Noah and Jack, but still.
Super quick read. Hot and sweet at the same time.
On to the next couple.

This is technically the first of Sudden heats, but I’ve read it last 🤷‍♀️ it was super short, very unprofessional suppressant trial if I say so myself. Jared is an omega in need of cash when he signs off for a new suppressant for heats… Leon is a lab tech alpha and maaaybe they are fated mates. Anywho one sudden heats and these two lovebirds can’t get their hands of each others. It’s fast, it’s porny and great filler between your serious reads 🌸

Hot and quick

Short and Sweet or should i say Short and SPICY!

This is a super short read - I’m talking like an hour and a half-ish.

What’s not to like? Short, sexy and Omegaverse. It’s a Minibon as opposed to the whole-ass Cinnabon. Yes, things happen pretty quickly between our MCs but it actually didn’t feel too hurried to me.

No complaints. I liked Leon and Jared even though we only get a snippet of their lives together.

All the blank reviews made me think AI involvement automatically but oddly enough, I didn’t get computer-generated vibes from this story. We had a few errors and misspellings which gives me hope that an actual person wrote this.

I do wish there was more to this short as it really was only about 35ish pages but it was still good and managed to get in a couple sex scene, a cohesive plot, and some cute moments so I can’t be too picky!

Maybe my least favorite plot???? But idk honestly! I still thought it was good though!

Favourite Quote: "Enjoy the feeling of being at the beginning of something new"

Should Leon have lost his job asap? Definitely. Do I care about that? Nah. This book basically did exactly what it says on the tin. It's steamy, romantic and short. Definitely can't use any of Jared's results in the test study tho!
