Big Top: A Sapphic Omegaverse

by Heather Nix

Dottie Spencer didn't mean to join the circus. What began as a drive to clear her head quickly spiraled out of control when an unexpected heat cycle left the Omega unprepared and ill-equipped amidst the bright lights and overwhelming crowd

Anya Swanson is a female Alpha, an uncommon designation that's been nothing but a hardship since the day she matured. She found family

beneath the big top in the cast and crew of a traveling circus troupe, but it may take every bit of her impressive strength to keep it all together.

It's not uncommon for Jade Palmer to twist herself into knots, but she and Maeve "Eve" Lee have been partners and performers for the past three years. They've balanced their nontraditional relationship and careers with grace and poise, and not even a wild-eyed Omega and an Alpha on the edge of control can extinguish the heat of their flame.

But after an incredibly steamy night, there's big trouble beneath the big top. Between trapeze stunts and swallowed swords, feats of strength and moments of weakness, the four women find themselves becoming increasingly tangled in one another-physically and emotionally.

As a demon from Dottie's past rears his ugly head, and Anya is forced to face her deepest fears, can two steady Betas help them learn to communicate despite the raging hormones overflowing their small trailer? Because the curtain isn't all that's falling at the end of this circus, and it's easier to stand up again with a pack at your back.

This was a cute sapphic omegaverse romance with an anxious omega and alpha, and an established beta couple with excellent communication skills. The one night stand heat was a messy beginning but they all shared genuine care for each other. Jade and Eve were def the ones being like hey you gotta talk about stuff. The circus setting was unique and well done. I’m still confused about what age Audrey is because sometimes she’s 6 and sometimes she’s 10.

I love a smutty little omegaverse novel. I really do. This is, however, the first time I’ve seen polyamory applied to that concept—and I’m fucking rabid. Watching four women go absolutely feral for each other? Yeah, I’m in.

This little band of misfits is fantastically built for each other. I thoroughly enjoyed the messiness of the heat scenes and the way they all came together to support each other. Women do it better, and I’m so glad Dottie got to learn that lesson.

Oh yeah, it’s also a sapphic awakening moment—good for her. I can go either way on that trope, but I think it played out really well here.

I absolutely gobbled this up. My first Heather Nix book but it definitely won’t be my last. I loved all of the characters, the spice, pacing, just the right amount of angst and circus antics, and of course the all-consuming love and devotion shared by these four women. Highly recommend!

This book is everything I could ask for in an Omegaverse! As someone who has been desperately searching for WLW Omegaverse books, when I saw the authors post about this on my feed I knew I needed to give it a read, and it proceeded to blow me away! This book has something for everyone. We have Anya our resident girlypop tall muscle mommy Alpha, Eve the tatted up dominant Beta, Jade our confident and caring Beta, and of course Dottie, our shy omega with secrets to hide. If you love Omegaverse or even just why-choose WLW in general, Heather Nix is the author to read!!

Big Top? Yeah you bet she is

Seriously SUCH a fantastic book. With the perfect amount of HOT spice and really touching moments. I LOVE to see a female Alpha 🫦 And an all female pack ???? hot hot hot.
Shout out to all their scents coming together to make (in my mind) the PERFECT smell of a delicious night at the circus

I wish I could’ve read this all in one sitting because I never wanted to put it down!!! I’ve been saying that I need more female alphas so I was so excited to hear about this book. Thank you so much to my bestie for sending it my way! <3 Big Top was so spicy and so fun and there was still so much plot too! A great addition to my omegaverse collection that I absolutely recommend.

I picked this book up mostly because of the cover but also a quadruple F omegaverse?!? lets goooooooooooo! This was such a fun book and I think any omegaverse fan would enjoy it. I loved all four of the characters so much. I do feel like the ending was a bit rushed--there was a lot of time that was skipped over--but that was the only thing about the book that I didn't like. I really hope Heather Nix continues to write omegaverse because I will definitely read them.
