Madeline Hayes is my absolute star for how she juggles three high-profile billionaire Alphas with her goal of an independent, alpha-free future. She uses separate burner phones and custom personas to keep her sugar-baby life strictly transactional. For commanding Alric, she plays a high-class luxury Omega. For athletic Hunter, she is a gym-loving girl next door. For gentle Zachery, she is a relaxed, chill gamer girl. Her real job as a travelling photographer gives her the perfect excuse to drop off the grid and switch roles.

The Alphas decide they are ready to form a pack, each convinced they are dating the perfect omega for their new group, completely unaware they are seeing the exact same woman. Wanting to introduce his dream Omega to his friends, Hunter secretly flies Madi out to Alric’s private island for their yearly holiday. Madi has an understandable, massive panic when she finds her three clients in the same place and realises they are actually lifelong best friends. When a brutal storm traps them all in the villa for six days, her secret aliases blow wide open. Alric, Zach & Hunter's initial shock soon morphs into pure awe, and once they realise she is their perfect scent match, the dynamic pivots into an intense, protective drive to look after Madi. They just have to convince her to trust them and to open up to the possibility of a pack.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Madeline was truly a standout character for me, and I loved her fiercely independent nature. Unlike the passive or submissive heroines you can get in some Omegaverse setups, Madi’s incredible work ethic and stubborn drive really earned my respect from the very first page. Because she treats everything as business to protect herself, watching her emotional walls slowly crack under the pack’s relentless affection was a major highlight for me.Ironically, it was her low-pressure gamer persona with Zachery that allowed her guard to drop the fastest. Even when her secrets are exposed, she does not just panic or play the damsel in distress; she keeps her quick wit and sets firm boundaries, which I found incredibly entertaining.

The men themselves are beautifully distinct, and Zachery is definitely my favourite of the men. Alric is the textbook definition of an obsessed billionaire Alpha, completely unhinged for her approval, yet he has a softer, damaged side that broke my heart when we visited his mother’s grave. Zachery is the sweet "Golden Retriever" counterbalance and the emotional heart of the pack, using playful banter to break her walls. Hunter is the athletic powerhouse, and I really felt for his insecurities within the friend group. You just want to give him a big hug when he confesses his feelings to his childhood friends, and I loved how true and loyal Alric and Zach were in return.

Because the three men share an unbreakable, pre-established brotherhood, the story completely skips tedious pack infighting. They trust each other implicitly, using natural chemistry and protective teasing to navigate the sudden shared bond. Hunter ignites the ultra-high heat rating (🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️) with a high-stakes "Truth or Dare" scene filled with dirty talk and organic secrets.The third-act kidnapping by a bitter ex-donor brings major angst. While I could personally see the kidnapping and the fake texting coming, it did not take away from the tension in any way at all. I was literally clutching my cushion, pushing Madi's men along to hurry up and rescue her!

I absolutely love a good revenge plot, and the satisfying payback her Alphas facilitate in the end for her was just downright delicious.

This is an addictive, fast-paced Omegaverse romance that perfectly balances high-stakes isolation with genuine emotional depth. The transition from a clever transactional game into a unified, fiercely protective pack dynamic makes it impossible to put down. If you love independent heroines, obsessed billionaires, and some great angst, you will fly through this.

Spoilers ahead , ETA is it just me or is this book's name awkward as hell, I just keep repeating it 🤔


I'm not a fan of sex worker MCs...... To each their own but it doesn't work for me. Especially when the sex work continues after meeting the the mmc.

Now🤭

Our h is an omega who grew up watching her mother being poorly treated during her heat by her pack. Of course we know how it goes with Alpha /Omega pairings. All she wants is to save as much money as possible so she can get away from Alphas as soon as she can..... Preferably before her heat hits. She's been putting it off with suppressants but she's running out of time. For the last year she's had 3 main clients.

Alric
Zachary
Hunter

They know she's a sugar baby, she uses a different name and character for each of them....... What they don't know is that they're all falling in love with the same woman.

*************
As I said I hate sex work as a career in my romance but you know what in this instance fuck yeah girl!!!! Do your thing!!!!!!!!! Man I love omegaverse, Baby and her crew remain one of my top favourite books to reread but the imbalance in the dynamics, the body betrayal forced on them just by their nature can be hard to read. The beginning of this when the h rejected H 1 I peed a little laughing 😂😂😂 I was like OMFG girlllllllll I know that's right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was like awww you named your restaurant after me, that's so sweet...... Ate her pussy and she peaced out 😂. Next scene she's a different character with the friend . I died 😂. She's not cold hearted, she just knows what she has to do. Her goal is 3 million and to disappear with her cat.

I figure the doctor told her 2 weeks and then her heat will have to hit so I've probably got a limited window of enjoyment on this but I had to say I enjoyed the beginning of this and wish it could continue for at least halfway through..........


Alric nods. “The contract to complete our pack are being looked over by our lawyer and we should be able to sign it once we finish our final pack test run this week. They need a final pack name, though.”
“And an omega,” I joke. “I actually have the perfect one. We can⁠—”
“No,” Alric says, looking up at us for the first time. “The omega I’m seeing is the only one I’ll consider for this pack.” He returns to glaring at his phone. “She’s everything we need. Sophisticated. Demure. Classy. Fantastic taste in everything.”
“Yeah,” I laugh, “except alphas, apparently.”
Alric flips me off, but for the first time tonight, there’s a small smile there. I love making that brute laugh. It only happens twice a year.
Zachary stares off into the distance with a smile at the word omega. “Sounds like you’re describing a luxury car. We need an omega who can relax, someone chill and fun, like Emilie.”
“Madeline is fun!” he argues loudly.
“You’re the least fun person I know,” I tease. “I seriously doubt you’re with her because she’s fun. Now Sophie, she’s a thrill!”
A growl slips out of Alric, any amusement is now gone. “Madeline is everything to me.”


Lmfao all the same girl btw 😂😂😂😂😂

The three men are friends and want to set up a pack together,they just need an omega.....too bad they're all dating different ones 🤭


His credit card information apparently isn’t saved on his phone, which I find even more irritating, so I go to grab my wallet. He will absolutely be paying me back. In fact, I might even sue him for damages. He should have told me if anyone else is going to be here.

Sue his ass babe!!! Fucker!! 🤭 Never told her his two friends would be on the island too.....never mind she's also fucking the two friends 😌

“Explain,” she snaps. “And slide me your wallet under the bathroom door.”

I love this fucking girl I stg!!!!!

“This is a matter of my safety, Hunter. Yes, I know Zach and Alric, but what if I hadn’t? What if I didn’t want to be near them? What if they weren’t the upstanding gentlemen you thought they were? Do you understand how terrifying that would have been for me? And unless there’s another boat here or a helicopter you can charter, I’m literally trapped here. I agreed to a vacation with you and you alone.”


“You’re right about that.” Everyone looks at me. “You’re perfect for us. We need you as our omega, we’ve all been drawn to you since the start.”
“We would give you the best life an omega could ask for,” Zachary adds softly.
She rises from the couch, as does my hope that she will want to be part of this pack.
“Did any of your delusional asses stop to think that maybe I don’t want to be in a pack? That I don’t want to play nice little omega to three alphas who haven’t stopped for one fucking moment to consider what I want or need?”


Unfortunately her faux heat hits right after but I loved this!!!! On the island they realise they're scent matches so her career will also have to end.

Even though the rest of the book is filled with the typical stuff now I liked the ideas that the h suggested. Who says omegas have to be harassed by Alphas, why can't they shop separately in groceries, fly separately etc etc. I like the bite guards and the distress scent as a defense. The h was still kidnapped and her trusting this random texting omegaand giving out location so easily was just so dumb for someone so smart. Nevertheless I enjoyed this one, new to me author, definitely not a trope I'll be pursuing much off but I surely don't regret giving this one a try!

Spoil Now For Sugar

I was excited to read this book after seeing so many readers in a couple of my Facebook groups rave about it. But pretty much immediately…I didn’t like the FMC. 30% of the way i kinda hated her and by the time i was 60% in, I was only reading the book out of annoyance and the fact that i like the mmcs. I wouldn’t be friends with someone who spent 60% of our time together complaining about their life…so why do authors think readers want to read a book where the FMC spends 60%+ of the book complaining about her life, childishly clinging to misconceptions with what feels like a heavy dose of maybe the author’s own personal somewhat narrow perspectives about men/women in general. It’s tiresome, it doesn’t make for good reading and it’s annoying.

I also have always found the “designation segregation” in some omegaverse books very weird and I HATED how the FMC promoted it so strongly in this book. If you need your own special grocery hours etc…I’m sorry a whole shopping complex?!…you live in a failed society that needs a major reset. That’s a huge part of what makes omegaverse so appealing-the way that they have these urges and can control them, alphas and omegas both. That was the final nail in Madi’s coffin for me and she never really recovers. The worst part is that the writing itself is really good-the problem was the completely unlikable FMC so affected the story flow so badly.

this was a sweet omegaverse that was a perfect palate cleanser read in between long books. i loved that Madi was a sugar baby omega who knew what she wanted from alphas and took it and then left them behind. but then comes along 3 alphas, Alaric, Zachary, and Hunter, who makes her throw out all her rules. but i think i would also with billionaires who treat her and love her like they do 😜

blacking out during a heat is creepy

I’m all for getting caught up in pheromones and instincts, but the FMC saying she’ll see the MMCs on the other side (of her heat) is frankly disturbing. And why does the author not want women to enjoy and remember sexual encounters so intrinsic to an Omega? Aka the whole reason we’re reading omegaverse.
I liked so much of this book but that really creeped me out and I DNFed.

Spoil Now for Sugar is Hayden Olivia’s debut book and I’ve already added her to my auto-buy list! I’m always nervous about debut authors but in this case, I really didn’t need to be. The writing is compelling and strong, the characters felt alive and like they all had their own personalities… Told from all POV, it has the following tropes and features: Reluctant FMC, Scent Matches, Omegaverse, stormed in, sugar baby/daddy, forced proximity, HEA, first heat, MFMM, AOAA, golden retriever, BIPoC representation, healing trauma, low angst, billionaires, fast burn, high spice, cozy, green flag MCs, insta love, why choose, and hurt/comfort.

The story follows professional sugar baby omega Madeline, who only wants an alpha-free life, as she ends up stormed-in with her scent matches on the verge of her first heat. Rules will be broken and it will be spicy. What I liked most about the story is that Madeline knew what she wanted and was strong enough to not feel misplaced guilt when she was clear from the beginning that the situation wasn’t long term. The MMCs, of course, are absolute green flags and respect her boundaries and wishes, even if it hurts and they don’t understand.

The story has a deeper subtext of oppression of women, the exploitation of reproductive labor, and problematic gender roles in society. The way Madi, Hunter, Zachary, and Alric respect and help each other through trauma and issues is everything. I normally don’t like the reluctant FMC trope, but I can’t fault Madi for having goals and not wanting to throw them away the instant she finds her scent matches. Overall, I was really impressed with this book and highly recommend it if you love omegaverse with lots of spice and heart!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

They're all obsessed with her and they just want to spend their billions on her. Who wouldn't love that? 
I hate billionaire characters in romances (there are actually very few irl and none of them are hot, esp when I find it unethical). BUT if you're going to do a billionaire/sugar baby romance, this is how I'd like it done. 🧎🏽‍♀️

Completely devoted MMCs, an FMC who doesn't allow herself to deviate from the future she wants (not completely at least), and lots of spice ✨focused on her.✨ Yes please. 


‼️Slight spoilers.‼️

My rating is because it did seem to drag a little, her decision at the end had not quite enough build up for me to the point where her mind changed, and what's up with having to segregate everything by the end? I get it and support it...to a point. Omega-friendly shopping hours with more security? Sure. Apps that have ideas and meals for pre and post-heat nutrition? Great. More access to much needed medicine without high insurance costs? Wonderful. An entire shopping complex just for omegas (only 5% of the entire population) with apartments and entertainment attached so they never have to interact with anyone ever? Uh.... And then as soon as the whole ass omega-only airline was on the table, I was rolling my eyes. But sure, she threw beta women in there as an afterthought a couple times. 🙄

The MMCs were distinct and written well. I didn't particularly care for one of them, but that's a me problem. I love that they had been falling for her personas over the year prior while she'd been holding the firm line of 'client' and wasn't there at all. Interesting dynamic.

The FMC was strong and set in her goals, while also being absolutely terrified. I love that she didn't cave as soon as every other book out there. She had very harsh lived experiences that contributed to her reasons for her goals in life. She's the epitome of "that will never be me". The book was long, but the majority of it takes place over one week. I don't understand the reviews that are expecting this woman to deconstruct her entire childhood trauma and learn to trust again in that short time to have caved sooner...but that's just me.

Anyway, I enjoyed this one. It's not a surprise, since I usually like the ones where the power rests in the FMC's hands. 🤷🏽‍♀️

No OW drama.
Yes OM drama, but from a former client she's not interested in.
No cheating.
No manwh0res.
No pregnancy.
Edit: some body betrayal (booo)

Great Read!

Literally got me out of my reading slump!!!

I enjoyed it from start to finish. The characters are all very interesting and lovable. I adore Madi for going through so much and pushing through every time. She’s an awesome omega.

Madi grew up in an awful pack who neglected her and abused her mother. Eventually they abandoned them and her mom passed away leaving her alone to fend for herself. She became a sugar baby to survive and in hopes that she could save enough money for an alpha-free life.

As a sugar baby, she had three separate alpha clients and those three alphas are actually lifelong friends and about to form a pack together. Each of them are in love with her and wants her to be their pack’s omega but the alphas are unaware they were dating the same omega!!!

It was soooo fun reading about the chaos of them finding out they were in love with the same woman.

I absolutely loved the journey they took in order to be together. I am so excited to read more books from this author!!!

Did Not Finish
August 3, 2026
I didn’t vibe with the FMC but also don’t vibe with people calling this a sweet omegaverse when she’s brought on an international trip told it’ll only be her and one other only for SURPRISE two of her other clients being there. On a remote. Foreign. Island. In the middle of a storm. She was literally trying to leave these clients bc they kept pushing her very clear boundaries. None of this was sweet. Dnf’d at 26% when they clock they are all matches.

“You can sit there and watch only. Liars don’t get slick.”

I really enjoyed this! I liked the “Sugar Baby’ spin a lot! I definitely need to find some more sugar baby books, it was a really fun time! It was fairly low angst and had some nice comfort in it! I am looking forward to the next book in the series!

Overall 4.25/5 stars

Did I read this because the FMC is called Madi? Yes I did. Did I thoroughly enjoy it? Also yes 😍

This was such a refreshing take on omegaverse and I loved it. Madi is super independent and doesn’t trust Alphas in a pack after a rough childhood. She was just out living her best life, having great sex and making money.

Our MMCs each bring something totally different to Madi’s life and I adored them.
Alric is our take control alpha who just dominates the room. Hunter is the golden retriever fitness guy whom everybody loves. And Zachary is our nerdy tech genius who is super sweet and down to earth.

I just thoroughly enjoyed this story. It kept me hooked throughout and the characters had excellent chemistry. Whilst this was low ish angst, it had an element of suspense and the characters go through a teeny tiny rough ride before the HEA.

Thank you to the author for the ARC.

Spoil Now for Sugar is Hayden Olivia's first book. This book is everything cozy and healing that you could possibly want it to be.

And let me tell you, as someone who is not typically an omegaverse girlie, I absolutely loved every single second of this book.

We have Maddie, who is our hyper-independent, almost relationship averse, female lead who has (what I think) a beautiful healing journey in this story. Alric, who is our grumpy, rich, serious, straight to the point, no frills, dream boat. Zachary, who was our little sweetie pie. He just loves to make sure that she's happy and puts her joy in front of his. Hunter is a golden retriever, goofball, happy-go-lucky guy and his personality works for what his job is, and I think it makes him so endearing.

This book, for me, was kind of healing in several different ways. Maddie is very hyper-independent. While she loves her job, being spoiled, and spending time with good men, she keeps a list of rules to live by to ensure she doesn’t get hurt. Through a well-intentioned, but badly executed, scenario, Maddie finds herself in a situation where she doesn't have a choice but to spend time with these three guys isolated on an island and slowly she learns that letting them into her heart is actually not really a bad thing.

I loved the different personalities. This wasn't a book where Maddie instantly gave in to these men when she figured out certain things about them. She didn't immediately give in to them simply because she was stuck with them. In return, they were patient and understanding with her and frankly I would absolutely love these three alphas as my own.

Ms. Olivia, I think you turned me into an omegaverse girlie! I can’t wait to read the next one!!

I cannot recommend this enough!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Absolutely. 100%. Yes ❤️‍🔥



This is, without a doubt, one of the best omegaverse books I've ever read—and that's saying something because I've read a lot of them.



🌸 Madeline is one of the best heroines I've ever read
One of the biggest reasons this book stood out to me is the heroine.
She instantly became one of my all-time favorite female protagonists. It was so refreshing to finally read about an omega who is genuinely independent, who puts herself first, and who doesn't immediately abandon all of her values the moment an alpha—or hormones—enter the picture.

She makes her own choices. She protects herself. She refuses to let anyone force her into becoming someone she's not.
I absolutely loved her strength, resilience, and self-respect. 💛





❤️ The characters feel real
The characters in general are incredibly well written. Every single one of them feels like a real person with genuine emotions, flaws, and motivations.
And the alphas deserve a special mention because they completely shattered the stereotype I usually see in omegaverse books.

Instead of being possessive, manipulative, or obsessed with control, they're emotionally mature. They cry. They comfort people. They communicate. They apologize when they're wrong. Most importantly, they respect Madeline.
Rather than trying to dominate her, they listen to her, support her, and genuinely care about what she wants.

That was such a refreshing change 🥹



⚖️ Actions finally have consequences
Another thing I absolutely loved was that the people who hurt Madeline actually faced consequences
That's something I feel is missing in so many omegaverse stories. Too often, omegas are expected to forgive endlessly, no matter how deeply they've been hurt.

Not here 🥳
The people responsible for her suffering were finally forced to confront the damage they'd caused, and watching that happen was incredibly satisfying.





💬 A quote that stayed with me

"He was never going to give you mercy, so why would I grant him something he would deny you?"


I couldn't agree more.



🌍 The world-building has something meaningful to say
I also loved the world-building.
The way this author explores the treatment of omegas feels like a direct reflection of issues that still exist in the real world.

The story isn't just about fictional social dynamics—it mirrors the way women are so often expected to prioritize everyone else's comfort over their own, valued primarily for what they can provide to men or society instead of being recognized as complete human beings with dreams, ambitions, and agency.
Those parallels made the story feel even more impactful.



🤍 The perfect balance between plot and relationships
What impressed me the most was the balance of the story.
So many books eventually shift almost all of their attention to external conflicts, leaving the relationships feeling like an afterthought.

This book does the exact opposite.
At its heart, it's about people—their healing, emotional growth, and the relationships they build with each other. The larger plot is still important, but it never overshadows what truly matters.
To me, that was the perfect balance 😍



📖 I couldn't stop reading
I finished this book in a single day because I simply couldn't put it down
Every single time I told myself, "Just one more chapter," I ended up reading five more 😅





More than anything, this book stayed with me long after I turned the final page.
It wasn't just entertaining.
It made me reflect on a lot of things, and in some ways it genuinely changed the way I think.
To me, those are the truly unforgettable books—the ones that don't simply tell a story, but leave you looking at the world a little differently.



✨ This book was an incredible surprise and easily one of my favorite reads.
I can't recommend it enough ❤️📚

The Plans We Make and The Paths We Take: A Refreshingly Nuanced Omegaverse Romance
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5 rounded up)

Fresh concepts in omegaverse are a rare treat, and Hayden Olivia beautifully delivers several in Spoil Now for Sugar. The cover caught my attention first, but the creative worldbuilding, strong characterization, and excellent pacing kept me turning pages. I didn't even realize it was a debut until the acknowledgments; a testament to how confidently the story is executed.

The glossary before the first chapter immediately signaled something unique. Rather than simply renaming familiar omegaverse components, Olivia introduces thoughtful twists that reshape how the world functions. My favorite was the medically supervised heats where omegas could choose a medically induced coma rather than rely on an alpha. I also liked that the burden of preventing unwanted bonds wasn't placed solely on omegas. Olivia even creates completely new ideas like legally mandated heat leave from work.

What surprised me most was how quickly I became invested in Madi's journey. I was tearing up by the third chapter. One early moment captures her fears and vulnerabilities with real precision: "This is how I end things with every client. I disappear." That same attention is carried over to the supporting cast too. Madi's best friend tells her, "You don't need to explain anything. 'No' is a complete sentence. It's your life, you get to decide what you do with it." These scenes gave the relationships genuine emotional weight and ensured the characters felt like fully realized people rather than pieces moving the plot forward. Even Madi's and Zach's cats became memorable additions to the story.

Madi's resistance to a future in a pack was handled with nuance. Although it takes her a long time to come to terms with the possibility, her reflection never felt stagnant or drawn out. Each stage of her arc is shaped by new experiences and shifting perspectives, allowing her growth to feel gradual, believable, and ultimately earned. As someone who quickly notices repetition in stories, I kept waiting for this progression to become redundant. It never happened.

The book was much steamier than I expected—in the best possible way. The intimate scenes were plentiful, varied, and naturally woven into the developing relationships. Rather than overshadowing the story, they strengthened the emotional connection between the characters and created a satisfying balance between heat and heart.

My one complaint comes from the last chapter. A few word choices used to describe Madi felt out of step with the dynamic that had been established throughout the rest of the book. After spending hundreds of pages watching these men support, respect, and champion her, those characterizations landed strangely for me and briefly broke the immersion. The moments were minor, but they stood out precisely because the devotion elsewhere is so strong.

Recommended for readers who like their spice with substance and appreciate character growth that feels genuinely earned.

Many thanks to the author for providing an early copy for review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are entirely my own.

You know, one of the critical parts in a lot of these why choose books is that the MLs interact well. Here, it's practically done perfectly. They have good chemistry with Madi and each other. Though it's not like they bang each other, there is no real jealousy and competition, and they're obviously really good friends. My favorite part --

Hunter breaks through my thoughts. “I could go for some of your amazing Italian food tonight.”
I burst out laughing—time to come clean, I suppose. “I’m sure if you asked Zachary really nicely, he’ll buy you some more.”
Zach chuckles. “Is that why I get an email receipt for that Italian place down the street from my house every Saturday?”
My sweet Hunter looks increasingly confused. “What...No…”
Zachary lists off last week’s dinner on his fingers. “Saffron risotto, Caprese salad, and lasagna, if I’m not mistaken.”
He’s not.
Hunter’s expression has morphed into something close to a wounded puppy, but we all know he’s joking. “It was homemade with love. I could taste it.”
I take pity on him and lean over to give him a kiss. “Sorry, Hunt. I think you were tasting the copious amount of butter restaurants use. I don’t cook. Ever.”
“Don’t worry, buddy,” Zachary teases him in a honeyed tone. “I’ll buy you lasagna whenever you want.”

It's very cute. The same can be said of this book overall. The art is a fun touch. The sex scenes are fine, some very good, and there's some nuance. I don't love the random "good girl" stuff and certain parts of the biology, but I thought even the omegaverse stuff, like with scents for example, was done well romance/smutwise. The only parts I didn't like were that it's very gender essentialist in some ways, though the protagonist clearly has certain ideas about omegas and hers are different than a lot of omegas'. But most of that the book attributes to trauma. I did like how the protagonist explains to the MLs how the omegaverse world caters to alphas and intends to offer them access to omegas. I also always love a career oriented protagonist. I liked Madi's handling of her sugar baby career and also how she was passionate about omegan independent living, and accommodations for omegas. Though I don't agree with all of them or think it promotes a society that treats people as people first, rather than omega first or alpha first (or beta first though they were obviously minimized here since it's an Omega x 3 Alphas book and also seem to be minimized within society). I didn't love the mixing of business and pleasure though, with Alric and his app etc, even if I understand it kind of logical for them in this situation.

I loved this omegaverse. In Spoil Now for Sugar we have Madi, an omega, who is determined to not be part of a pack. She is independent and doesn’t want to have to rely on others, especially alphas. She has all these rules to keep her on the path she’s wanting for herself. Madi didn’t have the best upbringing and that caused her to her NO Alpha/NO Pack rule. She’s a sugar baby and has these 3 regular clients. All three are different in looks and personality. I found it comical that each guy thinks they have the perfect omega for their pack and they don’t even know it’s the same omega.
Madi has her own dynamic with each man. With Alric shes more classy and goes to high end restaurants. With Zach shes more nerdy and chill and plays video games. With Hunter she’s sweet and loves sports and health and fitness. And even though she loves to spend time with them and does like them, she doesn’t want more.
Unfortunately they all get stormed in on a small Greek island for a week. During that time the guys do everything they can to convince Madi that they’re worthy of her and would do anything to make sure she has the life she deserves. Between them and her best friend Harper she would have an amazing life if she could overcome her fears.
Slowly her wall start to come down. Alric, Hunter and Zach are attentive to her needs. They make sure she has everything while she’s stuck on the island. I loved how Madi opened up to the guys about her past and why she doesn’t want the pack life. She never tells people her real story. We even get a glimpse of Alric being more emotional as well. It was sweet how the two of them opened up to each other. That they were comfortable with the other to be so vulnerable. My all time favorite thing about them being stuck on the island was the Truth or Dare scene. 🔥🔥🔥
These three incredible men would do absolutely anything for Madi. They would burn the world for her if she wanted. They make sure she knows her wants and needs are just important as theirs. That they would never make her give up parts of herself for them. They love her and want her happy. They’d go through extreme lengths to make her happy and safe.
I was so happy to see that she finally got the happy ending she deserves with 3 amazing men and 2 cute little kitties. I am so excited to read more of their story and to read about Harpers journey to happily ever after.

4.5 stars. A surprisingly good omegaverse debut.

This has some tropes in it that I really love: alphas all dating the same omega without knowing it, fated mates (where we get to see the reveal), hurt-comfort, and forced proximity.

The book starts with a few chapters where we see Madi with each of the three alphas as she’s deciding that it might be time to end her sugar baby relationships with them for fear of catching feelings and that the alphas may feel entitled to her upcoming heat. And then one alpha, Hunter, tricks her into coming on a trip with his soon-to-be-pack and everything comes out that she’s dating all three members of the pack. And they are scent matches (scent blocking pills are apparently very effective in this world). This happens about 20% into the book, so we aren’t kept waiting too long (which I’m appreciative of), and then the rest of the book is the men trying to convince a reluctant Madi to give the pack a chance.

Madi has had bad experiences with alphas, between growing up with abusive/neglectful fathers and other alphas feeling entitled to her now that she’s a sugar baby (or even just an omega in general). She has a realistically dour view of alphas and it’s nice to see her alphas break through her barriers. There is a lot of resistance from Madi to being in pack but it doesn’t feel false or like it makes the book drag. Rather, Madi has to learn to trust her alphas and adjust her thinking.

Between all of the emotional upheaval, we see a lot of the standard omegaverse hallmarks: scent matching, nesting, scent marking, heat spikes, heat, bonding. And there is plenty of steam the whole way through the book.

You have to be cool with a sugar baby lead and buy into billionaires to enjoy this book. Billionaire romance isn’t my preferred cup of tea but that’s a big part of the foundation of all of Madi’s relationships, that she has high expectations and knows her worth.

Overall, this was just a good omegaverse book. A lot of steam, actual plot, some danger to the omega, and lovely relationship building. I’m looking forward to reading more from this author.

This was such a sweet Omegaverse read! I love an independent omega and could relate to Madi easily. She had a rough childhood experience with alphas. Growing up being neglected and abandoned by her dads and seeing her mother not being treated as an omega should (due to not being their scent match) which left her with deep emotional scars. She’s determined to live a life free of alphas. She enjoys her sugar babying job which she has a strict set of rules and never gets attached.

I loved the MMCs especially Hunter (golden retriever vibes) and Zachary (nerd vibes). Alric was broody and loved being in control which made her butt heads with him more. He wanted to protect her and take care of her but her being fiercely independent made that challenging. A surprise trip to Greece and scent match discoveries led to Madi having to really reevaluate her future plans. This book has plenty of spicy moments and group play which I loved.
There are also sweet and funny moments. It was well rounded and I really enjoyed it. These guys are all the green flags! They adore Madi and would give her the world!

There is even some suspense towards the end and I will always melt for a protective alpha. I can’t forget to mention the cute fur babies Dreamscicle and Bellini! 🐈And I can’t wait for Harper’s story next!
If you enjoy Omegaverse with found family, reluctant omega who just needs to be shown there are good alphas who would do anything for her then you’ll likely enjoy this book!

Thank you so much to author Hayden Olivia for the advanced reader copy of Spoil Now For Sugar. All opinions are my own.

This book is hilarious, addictive, and absolutely overflowing with omegaverse chaos 👀🖤🔥

A sugar baby omega with strict rules?

Three alphas searching for their perfect match?

A situation where everyone thinks they're dating different women... but it's actually the same person??

Yeah… I was hooked IMMEDIATELY.

Madi was SUCH a fun FMC 👀✨

Smart. Resourceful. Independent.

She's built her entire life around staying in control and making sure she's always the one calling the shots.

Whether she's playing the sophisticated socialite, the girl-next-door, or the gamer girl, she knows exactly how to adapt to every situation.

And honestly??

I loved her.

Then there's Alric, Zachary, and Hunter.

And WOW 👀🔥

Protective. Determined. Completely gone for her.

What makes this story so entertaining is watching all three of them slowly realize that the woman they've been imagining is actually the same person.

The reactions?

Absolutely priceless 😂🖤

The chemistry between the characters was SO good.

Because beneath all the humor and misunderstandings is a surprisingly emotional story about trust, vulnerability, and learning to let people in.

Madi has been hurt before.

She's built walls for a reason.

And watching the pack work to prove they're worth the risk was EVERYTHING.

AND WOW 👀🖤

The fated-mate element added so much tension and emotion to the story.

Once secrets start coming out, nothing stays simple.

The feelings get deeper.

The stakes get higher.

And I couldn't stop turning pages.

✨ If you love: • why choose romance • omegaverse • fated mates • strong FMCs • found family vibes • protective MMCs

This one is funny, emotional, addictive, and packed with omegaverse goodness 🖤🔥✨

Is an MFMM omegaverse, with a Sugarbaby as FMC. The 3 MMCs are best friends and, after working together for a year, decided to become a Pack. They are going to Greece for a week to do a trail and a well-deserved vacation.

Alric and omega Madeline have been dating for almost a year, a very sophisticated, gorgeous woman. Loves luxury, fine dining.
Hunter and omega Sophie have been dating for almost a year. She is sporty, loves a healthy lifestyle, and supports him 100%.
Zachery and omega Emelie, have been dating for almost a year, and they prefer staying home, getting food delivered, and gaming together; they both also love Orange cats.

I don't need to make it any clearer that they have the same Sugar Baby. Without knowing it. But due to an ill-considered decision by an MMC, all four of them are now on an island in Greece, where a massive storm is raging. And there is no good outlook for good weather.

Madeline has put off her first heat for far too long and is forced by her doctor to make it happen now. Just as she is on a deserted island with 3 alphas she didn't want to see anymore. They eventually make a pact for 1 week. After that, it's over. That was before she knew she scent-matched all the three alphas.

It is a nice change of pace from Omegaverse, where the Omega gets quite a lot of choice and can live freely. Madeline has trauma regarding packs and heats due to her upbringing, but the Alphas are doing everything they can to reassure her. They are getting their well-deserved HEA. And a spark of revenge, too. I can't wait for Harper's story!!

After childhood trauma left Madi with no interest in finding a pack, she built a life for herself on her own terms. Watching her slowly open herself up to the possibility of a future she never expected was one of my favorite parts of the story. What made this book especially fun was the relationship dynamic. Madi is a sugar baby with arrangements involving Alric, Zachary, and Hunter, and as those arrangements near their expiration dates, she is preparing to walk away. What none of them realize, however, is that all three Alphas want to build a life with the same woman. Meanwhile, Madi has no idea that the three men she has been seeing are already in a pack together. Watching everything unfold was entertaining, emotional, and at times incredibly sweet.

I appreciated that Madi's trauma wasn't simply brushed aside. Her fears and hesitations felt real, which made her growth throughout the story feel even more meaningful. Seeing her find not only love, but also safety, acceptance, and a place where she truly belonged made the emotional payoff worth every moment. The chemistry between Madi, Alric, Zachary, and Hunter was wonderful, and I loved watching them navigate the transition from arrangement to something much deeper.

With plenty of heart, healing, great pack dynamics, and an unexpected path to love, Spoil for Sugar was a fantastic read. If you enjoy omegaverse romances featuring sugar relationships, found family, and characters learning to trust and love again, definitely pick this one up.

Omegaverse has always been one of my comfort reads. Whenever I need a book to pull me out of a slump or just want something fun and comforting to escape into, it never disappoints.

This ARC was exactly that kind of read for me. A sugar baby omega and three hot, possessive alphas? I was hooked from the start.

The story follows Madeline (Madi), who has built her life around a strict set of rules when it comes to her sugar baby clients. Those rules help her maintain control and keep her focused on her goal of living an alpha-free life. Unfortunately for Madi, life has other plans when her three charming, protective, and lovable clients turn out to be her scent matches.

From there, we get a heartwarming journey of healing, trust, and learning to open yourself up to love after trauma. I really enjoyed watching the relationships develop and seeing each character grow throughout the story. The chemistry between Madi and her alphas was fantastic, and I loved how supportive they were of one another as they worked through their struggles.

This was such an easy book to sink into and exactly the comfort read I needed. Sweet, emotional, spicy, and full of lovable characters, it kept me turning the pages from beginning to end.

If you’re a fan of omegaverse romance, scent matches, protective alphas, found family vibes, and stories about healing and second chances, I would definitely recommend picking this one up.

Thank you to Hayden for the ARC!🥰📚

This was a fun and unique read for me by a new-to-me author. I've read spins on alphas helping omegas through their heats for pay and fame, but never an omega using her designation to lift an alpha's status for pay. And these sugar babies do not have to put out, they decide what's what in their agreements. We meet our gal, Madi, in a conundrum about her three main clients, all alphas, and how they're getting to the end of their contracted time together. She's ready to move on, because of past trauma, but the guys are all sure 'their' omega would be the perfect match for their newly formed pack. Ha! She gave each of them a different name so you can see the fun in how things are coming together for this one ;P A vacay that came about with details deliberately omitted, some assumptions and a lot of drama later, and we have honest communications, hot chemistry and finally, a fab and steamy HEA. Of course, we have a nasty client-wannabe in the wings that really ramps up the tension and I was on the edge of my seat fretting that things wouldn't work out. This was an engaging and page turning read for me and I loved following Madi to her well deserved happy ending. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book!

Our FMC, Madi, is a sugar baby omega. She keeps her alphas for a year and no longer, she molds her personality to fit her alpha and to keep some of herself back, she has also put her heat off for as long as she can until one of her alphas made a decision which had lasting consequences. Our MMCs are Alric (very sophisticated and refined), Zachary (he's a hot nerd & into gaming), and Hunter (athletic and has his own line of clothing). What Madi doesn't know is that her 3 alphas are friends who are forming a pack. What the alphas don't know is that they are all seeing the same omega who all of a sudden smells amazing to them. A bit of comedy of errors happens that is also quite a bit emotional and I nearly cried for Madi when she got to the island. I loved the world building and storyline, it has just enough detail to really envision it without it being wordy. The characters are fully developed and go through some growth (mostly Madi) that is fully realized on page, there is no just waking up knowing she needs to accept her fate, they have to work for her affection. There is the right amount of spice, it is plentiful and detailed, the gym scene was 🔥 I love Madi's story and can't wait for the next book

Rcvd an ARC from the author.

We meet sugar baby Omega Madi who has rules that she lives by. No alphas in her home, no knots, no staying over, no real names and no heats with alphas. She watched her mom suffer with her 4 dad's growing up so she has her rules for a reason. She is coming up to her first real heat and makes plans at an omega resort. Madi is also in for het last dates with 3 different alphas. We meet Aleric is a sexy brooding billionaire who wants to keep Madi and is upset when she ends in on their date. Then we meet Hunter, a fitness alpha who is fun and then there is Zachary who is a tech genius with a cat. What Madi didn't realize is that all 3 alphas are friends and want to start a pack. Hunter tricks Madi into going to Greece but she is blindsided when she sees Aleric and Zachary there. No no no...she doesn't want this but when her faux heat starts on thr island, the alphas do their best to take care of her bc she is all their scent matches. A week on paradise has Madi unsure of her feelings about them but when she needa thr most they go way beyond to show her that she means everything to them.

Such a great and unique omegaverse story! Madi is an omega and working as a sugar baby to make her dreams of having an alpha-free life come true. However her three alpha clients have plans to have her join their pack, they just don’t realize they’re all “dating” the same person.
This story has the perfect combination of spice, heart and plot. I adored all these characters. Madi is a woman who knows what she wants and will stop at nothing until she gets it. She has some past fears/trauma motivating her desire for an alpha-free life, but that gets derailed with meeting her alpha scent matched. All the alphas were so sweet and patient with her in their own ways. Madi is not afraid to tell them no, and they respect her wishes to make her own decisions which I absolutely love to see! But they also spoil her and dote on her like she deserves. This whole book made me so happy to read seeing this independent woman surrounded by these alpha cinnamon roll men wanting to worship her.
This was truly a fantastic romance and now I’m dying waiting for her best friend, Harper’s HEA!

*I received a complimentary ARC from the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you’re an OV fan I totally recommend to read this asap! It’s so good, this is my first time reading this type of story, a sugar baby omega? Hell yeah!

Madi’s background story is heartbreaking, my heart breaks for her mom and her, she’s was just a baby and has to learn the hard way why being an omega is not always hearts and flowers…

That’s why I loved for her this particularly pack, they love her so much and the patience and adoration which they tend to her but always at her pace, never imposing themselves and their only purpose is to demonstrating her with little things that there is good things in being in a pack.

Overall, I enjoyed enormously this storyline, the scent matching is always so satisfying to read and the forced proximity gives the story the perfect space for them to build a connection as a group! And the spice? So goood!

✨ My Thoughts ✨
This was such a fun Omegaverse. I enjoyed how everything flowed in the story. I really loved Madeline. She was such a fierce FMC. I love how independent she is. The MMCS are so good in this book too. I love how each has their own personality but yet they all fit together. I loved seeing them show her how much they wanted her. The spice was so much fun. I loved the action we get as well. The ending had my heartbeating pretty fast. I am excited to see what happens next in this series. I think this book for those who love Omegaverse.

Spoil Now for Sugar is recommended for 18+. As please check TW before reading. This book one in an interconnected series. I can't recommend this one enough.

✨ I want to thank Hayden and her Team for this E-arc. These are my own true thoughts ✨
