If I keep her, there’s no going back.

Officer Samantha Noell
In the blink of an eye, I’m head-first in a snowdrift, rescued by the biggest, greenest—man?—I’ve ever seen. Whatever he is, he turns my take-no-crap attitude into need. I should escape, but I’ve got a hunch that I’m close to solving a cold case involving several women who disappeared into thin air.

Vemlox
My plan is foolproof. Fetch the Omega and hand her over to Montar, thus sealing Loven’s alliance between Guardians and Horde. Thanks to a glitchy space gate, I’m stuck in a freezing cave with something that’s turned the simple delivery into a suicide mission. An Omega I must not want and can never have.

Unfortunately, she’s going into heat. And Serpent help me, I will betray the Horde and starve on a pole if only to keep her.

Spoilers ahead, 3.5*


Sam is a human police officer who's investigating the disappearance on Earth of the two previous h's.....only she too diappears!

Vemlox has been tasked with delivering Sam to an Alpha that Loven hopes will join the Horde as they prepare for war against the king....only he bonds with her!


*******
This was my favorite of the series! The humor in this had me cracking up, Sam was a badass who rolled with the punches. She was no stranger to sex so she was well suited to Vemlox and his kinks





No cheating
Experienced h/H
Maybe a bit of OM drama but nothing much really

3 STARS!

As one of the Alpha Horde, Vemlox already caught my interest since the first book. In this book, his mission is to have an alliance between Guardians and Horde. With the help from Telean (advanced in technology. Brainier than Regha Horde), they managed to found a human female to be presented for Guardians.

Officer Samantha found herself trapped and half-frozen in nowhere. It make sense that she's in alien planet when the huge green man appeared. Vemlox got enthralled by her instantly but he has a mission. He needs to stay away from her.

Samantha has quite strong background and her mission is to found the missing girls (Kingsley and Cyan). Samantha also admitted that she's kinky and attracted to Vemlox. My first impression for them is insta-love. They're quickly connected with each other but not with me. Their sex scenes was SUPER HOT (better than Kinre) but something just off.

I'm more interested with Guardians since they're far away from Horde. They served the King and that's why Alpha Loven needs their alliance. Of course, the A-hole Collector, Tayseer is back. He's also in pursue for Samantha. Vemlox's hot-and-cold attitude turns into possessive when he claimed his Omega. Their scene with Guardians reminds me of Loven a bit. Despite the feeling of wash-rinse-repeat, the story is still enjoyable but not much like the previous. It needs more development in story and characters.

Once again, Milana Jacks does a fantabulous job in combining very popular genres all into one book. I will not stop raving about how she masterfully incorporates Omegaverse into alien captive romance all wrapped into a dystopian backdrop. She is literally the master of mash-ups! This third installment of the Alpha Horder series is another gem. If you have read the previous two books, you MUST read this one because our desperately-seeking-Omega Vemlox has finally hit the jackpot! EXCEPT, she's not for him to keep. And worse of all she is not one to be kept. Sam, the heroine, is a fiercely independent strong willed woman who is sharp by profession and determined by life experiences. As a cop she has defied many obstacles and naysayers. To her, this Alpha and his alien world, is just another hardship to endure and overcome. I sincerely enjoyed getting to know the funny side of this alien world via Vemlox and LOVED the fact that the female protagonists come in all size/shape/race. I can't wait to read the next!

Samantha is a police detective that was searching for 2 missing girls, Cyan and Kingsley. When they say they disappeared into thin air they weren’t kidding around. Now she’s missing too. Sucked into the space gate. She now finds herself in the company of an extremely hot alpha male . . . Alien male, named Vemlox. Now how does she find these girls and make her way back to earth?

I loved this book. My favorite in the series so far. These two main characters are made for each other. Their banter is humorous and I LOVE that she didn’t turn into a whiny, freaked out bitch when the reality of her situation sunk in. She just rolled with the punches. And Vemlox has wanted his own omega for a long time. I was so happy that he found his own.

I would absolutely recommend this series to fans of the omegaverse genre. If you do not like strong alpha males you will not like this genre.

A refreshing scifi romance that really brings the heat to the term Alpha. Sam and Vemlox were an interesting pair that I just loved. He's on a mission to secure the loyalty of the Gaurdians, and his orders were to use Sam like the proverbial carrot on a stick. Well things don't go to plan for him or her, and Sam is a lot more headstrong and stubborn than he anticipated. And our Alpha.can't help but fall deeper into his unexpected feelings for the Omega. And Sam is torn between finding the missing girls, wanting to return home, and fighting her feelings for Vemlox. It may have started with his ulterior motives, but she just can't shake their connection. Their bonding is now tested against life or death, against the king and His allies.

Vemlox and Sam were a grwat couple. He tried to resist her but couldn't. Horde males never fail their mission. He kept this up for a while but in the end his desire won.

Sam was a great character and I enjoyed her strength as well as her sexuality. She was no nonese, smart and tough. She owned her sexuality and went with it.

Heat level was 🔥🔥🔥. Definitely recommend this series.

I had been looking forward to Vemlox’s tale since book 1. Vemlox is funny and his omega Sam is a tough as nails cop that keeps him on his toes. The witty banter between Kori Vemlox and Sam had me chuckling and reading well into the night. This series has been easy to read, and exactly what I was looking for to escape reality!

5 excited stars!

My favourite Alpha book in this series.

Dreikx nudges me with his elbow.
“Hm?”
“If you emit any more pheromones, you will bond me.”
“You’re a comedian.”
“I’m annoyed I’m having to breathe.”
“Cease breathing.” I smile politely.


Of all the books, I found this one the funniest. I was especially chuckling at the dick jokes and the sarcasm.

At home, I’ve a bathroom packed with special hair products that work for me.


I loved that book one was a white girl, book two a hispanic girl and book three we have a black girl. I felt Sam in that if I was kidnapped to another solar system, the fact that I don't have my hair products would also bug the living shit out of me.

I so loved the smut. All the scenes were fire. I loved that Sam, unlike the other women, is willing to try new things, she is unashamed of it and you guessed it, Vemlox is the perfect fit for her. Kori is my new favourite word. I especially love the fact that daddy gives me the hibbie jibbies, but Kori.....yesssssssssss.

Again, I love that each Alpha is an alien with their own features and characteristics. Vemlox is the pierced, loveable, funny guy.

Now, I know the next book is Tayseer's.... I'm not a fan. I so want to see him fall off his high horse. Then now we have Sidone, I also want her to get her own book.

Vemlox is a Horde Alpha who has been sent on a mission to make the Nesser Guardians into allies. His plan is to find a human Omega and bribe the Nesser Guardian Alpha with her. Sam is a cop who is investigating the disappearance of the two missing women and suddenly finds heself on an alien planet in the care of an alien who says he will help her return he if she follows him up the mountain. The two of them soon find that though their own missions are important maybe they can do so and keep eachother as well.

This world, these characters!!! She does it again. What an amazing world Milana has created. The description and the attention to detail. You can picture everything perfectly. These characters are brilliant and I love these story line. With each book more secrets are revealed and the plot thickens. I can not wait for the next one.

Different Take on alien romance

These are surprisingly short but totally fun reads. I don't know if it matters to the author but this is my first review. I kinda love this series. It did take me a while to understand the sexual dynamics but they do satisfy.
I do appreciate flawless grammar and punctuation as well. Good editing.

Love Vemlox and Sam!

Vemlox is definitely the pretty boy with piercings Macleod the group. Sam is a cop and is much braver then she gets credit for sometimes. These two are perfect together. Great read even if I felt it was missing a few small things.

4 1/2 stars!

I do NOT consider these to be stand-alone reads, as there are reoccurring characters and overarching themes. I highly recommend these be read in series order for maximum reader satisfaction and to prevent spoilers.

Contains subject matter that may be a trigger or offensive to some including adult language, steamy adult intimate scenes involving restraints, dominance, submission, and references to multiple partners, as well as references and details of violent acts with kidnapping / abduction, torture, rape, murder, betrayal, assault, fighting with some to the death, human trafficking, enslavement, etc.


⛔️ If you have not read any of the previous stories, the following may contain spoilers.



There are a few grammatical issues throughout, mainly misspellings, with missing or incorrect words. I am mentioning this for other readers like myself that visualize the story as it is read, as errors interrupt the flow.

Vemlor is a Horde Alpha male that has been given a mission to take an Omega female to the northern Guardians that live on the top of Mount Ness. He is working with the Telean leader (reference story #2 for more details) and a small ship that they have that transport them to one of the space doors.

The portals are used to access others worlds and right now they are open to earth. Vemlor and Druisk are able to wedge themselves into a tight crevice, but can only get out via crawling through an opening on the under side of the ship. Then they hear screaming and know an Omega has arrived through the portal and they must get to her before the beasties that rule this area finds her.

Samantha, aka Sam, just finished the Police Academy and it is her first day on the job. Her father is an officer and she has dreams of someday working on missing person cases. She has been focused on finding the two missing women, even though she knows that she should leave it those more experienced.

She went back to the University to look for more information and someone must have gotten the jump on her. One minute she is searching and the next she is freezing! She can’t even see more than 2 feet in front of her face because of all the flying snow. It doesn’t make any sense as it is 70 degrees in San Diego! Must be losing her mind, so Sam decides to go to sleep so she can wake up at home.

Sam hears some talking, or she thinks that the sounds are supposed to be words and it sounds like two different males. She checks and she still has her gun! Then it feels like someone is standing over her and words just start flooding into her head, so she rolls, grabs her gun, aims as if to shoot and can’t believe what she sees …

Sexy Kori Vemlox!

Finally Vemlox's story!! I've been waiting for this since I read about him in the first book. What can I say I'm just a sucker for the bad boy looking type with piercings and tattoos. And boy did he have piercings; one on his lip, one on his nose, on his tongue and one in a very VERY special place lol. Vemlox was more complex than I thought appearing very easy going, funny and with a wickedly dirty mind when he first met Sam but he was the complete opposite when it came to being intimate. Gone was the funny personality and in his place was Kori (means daddy in his language) Dom Vemlox. He demanded absolute submission no questions asked and if she tried to take control or tease him in anyway he'd discipline her. Quite harshly in my opinion in one scene he spanks her until she crys and in another he hog tied her. Don't get me wrong a little foreplay spanking and maybe some light bondage is ok in my opinion but the way he tied her up seemed like she was a pig at a fair and that didnt sit well with me. I get that as a cop she was naturally dominating and he brought out the woman in her by making her be the submissive one. And goodness me did he make her feel all woman the guy was INSATIABLE once she was in heat his mission flew out the window! What he demanded he got, with hair grasping and throat grabbing possessive actions. To be fair she seemed to love being treated that way by him; the spanking and hog tying so I put my feelings aside about it. He was adamant about breeding her through her heat and boy did he so I was happy with the fact that she did something about it. She wasnt happy about him breeding her, she felt he was keeping things from her and wanted to find the missing women and go home. So in a ballsy move she tried to escape which didn't go all too well but at least she tried. There's plenty of action going on and secrets are revealed as Montar who Sam was supposedly intended for shows up with non other than Tayseer. So we have a confrontation with both of them and the question of how will Vemlox convince Montar to join the horde after he's made Sam his and appears to be siding with the king?? Won't go into dets about that as I dont want to reveal everything but what I will tell you is that the next book to come is Tayseers and I CAN'T freaking wait to read about the little omega that makes him fall to his knees and beg (he deserves that he's been a douche nozzle every single book!!!). I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes their males dominant, protective and oh so passionate they'll knock your socks off (or incinerate your panties either or lol) try it you wont regret it.

Don't read this book on a cold night. I'm still freezing!

Finally! Vemlox gets his omega!!

I felt so bad for him in Books #1-2. But at least we knew his heart regarding omegas from the start of the book. Now we don't have to deal with that kind of angst. We just had to deal with yet another kind of angst. His struggle not to bond with Sam because we all know what would eventually happen. An alpha will do whatever his bonded omega wants him to do. Simple as that.

One of things I liked best about this book is that we, the readership, finally catch a clear glimpse on what Loven's strategy is regarding the Regha king. Well, there was a level of strategy that I had not anticipated, but I'm not talking about that because that would definitely ruin the story for anyone who wants to be surprised. That's what I do appreciate about this book. We get to figure out what's happening rather than being told this suddenly happened. Makes you feel stupid when never thought about it.

I really like Samantha in this book because she's logical. She doesn't whine. She doesn't sulk. She speaks her minds. And she knows how to use a gun. She does realize she can't just keep whining about wanting to go home. She can't. The star gate doesn't necessarily work that way.

I adore Sidone!! I liked her very much in her own novel (later on on the list of books I read out of order), but I like her so much more now! I, now, do understand her better based on this new information. Vemlox definitely deserved having such a great alpha sister as her!

I liked Alpha Knots better than Alpha Binds and Alpha Bonds. I highly recommend not only to buy this book, but the entire series!!

Vemlox is the next of the Alpha Horde to be utterly smitten with the police officer, Sam. She is investigating the 2 missing girls, Kingsley aka Kingslayer (still cracks me up) and Cyan, from books 1 and 2. She is awesome and really takes everything well and as you may have guessed, she’s a bit of a badass. Is she freaking out, no, she is still on a mission to find the “missing” girls. Ok, so he had one job…one job, and that was to deliver her to Montar to form an alliance for the upcoming war with the King. Uh….yeah, he delivered her alright, but then he bonded to her….whew baby. Yeah, so there may have been an altercation with the Alpha that was supposed to get her. Every time one of these Alpha’s bond, they get stronger and I love it.

Safe read, maybe safe with exception to some, since he was supposed to get her to someone else...obviously that never happened and he fought to have her. No ow drama, just the bit of om drama with the other Alpha. He gets the girl, done and done. These two are hot af, she is just as crazy about sex as he is...no blushing Virgin here. You even get a little spanking if that’s your thing. Oh, we get to see Tayseer again, that guy is relentless and it never works out well for him. Such a great series, I just cannot get enough…is it May yet....next book please....nowish.

In this book we have Vemlox who has been in the last two books on a mission to find allies to join the horde in order to fight against the king.

Vemlox knows that there is going to be another human who he is going to use to get Loven's brother to have in order to help his case.

Samantha is a human cop who has only recently graduated and want to be a detective, the case of the missing two human women entries her, and when she goes back to investigate late at night she finds herself transported for a foreign planet in the snow.

Vemlox finds and takes Sam up the mountain on his back, but looks after her and with his knowledge of the other two human women, makes her more comfortable, but he finds himself liking this female.

His sister Sidone, a rare Alpha female greets him when he reaches the top, but the news of Loven and his female has already reached them. Sam only feels comfortable with Vemlox and loves the more BDSM wants of Vemlox and loves being commanded.

Vemlox has to deal with Tayseer as he turns up, but Sam helps and Tayseer is dispatched and taken away by the hound of Vemlox. He then has to issue a challenge to Loven's other brother and wins. He then can take the other Alpha males to the Horde, including his sister.

Enjoyed this part of the series and cannot wait to read Tayseers story.

Outrageous, over the top, fun alien world

This is an over-the-top alien alpha world where human women are considered Omega. They go into heat when exposed to the pheromones the Alphas put off. The only cure is for the Alpha to "breed" them.
This world may not be for everyone. But I am thrilled to read this book as well as others written by this author.
In this book Vemlox is sent to collect a human Omega and take her to Montaur, the leader of the Guardians as a bribe to get the Guardians to fight with the Horde against the King.
When he meets Sam, a police officer from earth, he tries to stay away from her and not bond her to him. He respects that she is strong and not whiny. When he gets to Guardian territory, Montaur is gone to see the King.
There is conflict happening in this story and Tayseer is a part of it as always.
You need to start from the beginning in order to get who and what the Horde are and why they are going against the King.

This is another great addition to the series. I've read the other two and think you'll understand this one better if you have already been introduced to this world. Although this story ends with a HEA and no cliffhanger, you know more is coming as the King prepares for war.

Sam was a wonderful character. She was strong, willing to speak up and fight. She was a rookie cop on Earth which made her emotionally stronger. She also had a bit of a submissive side in the right circumstances.

Vemlox is a Horde warrior. His mission is to take the Omega, Sam, to a guy named Montar and see if by giving her to him he will join the Horde's side in the upcoming war. To really understand what is happening, read the other books first. Sam and Vemlox's journey and their growing connection makes this book worth reading. I also adored Loyo and his relationship with Sam. He made me smile thinking how much he was like my dog.

Told in first person POV; Samantha and Vemlox
Omegaverse
fated mates trope; love at first sniff 😉
Fun and medium length read!
Mild angst from assumptions; Vemlox just keeps her in the dark on a lot of infos 🤔
Happy ending!
Steamy smex scenes; knotting, orgasms, mild bdsm(choking) , oral pleasure(for female)🌶💯
Possessive, dominating and doting alphas ❤️
No cheating. No other woman/man.

Samantha needed an alpha male who can take charge in and out of the bedroom and Vemlox is who she needed!

Vemlox, an alpha battling between duty and his heart for Samantha. (A.k.a. Sam)

This book was an adventure.

Would I re-read? Once is enough ❤️

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK + THIS WHOLE SERIES!

I really really like this authors writing style. Im kind of head over with the world she has built for us to dive into. I guess the only thing that i don't like is this gushing thing. Honestly, it is gross and just super messy and I literally can feel my face scrunch up every time it is talked about. All I can picture is when my water broke and the giant mess of that, yeah, not sexy. BUT 3 books in, kinda hard to change that very big aspect of the books so I will trudge through what I would call some icky parts because the stories are just that good.

Least favorite

I liked the first two, yet this one didn't sit well with me. Maybe because I was waiting for some serious spunk since she's a cop, yet this book did not deliver. She was hard up for the guy right away, no fight what so ever. I wanted a omega with a little fight, a little toughness. Yet this girl was weak and unsure even when firing her service weapon? Not the best in the series, and definitely my least favorite.

This was an okay read for me. Sam is a tough woman and it takes her being on another planet to find an even tougher male for her that she doesn’t feel like she’s the alpha on the relationship. She can finally submit to a dominant male. Vemlox was supposed to deliver Sam to another to try to get their alliance. It totally backfired and he ends up bonding to her. Compared to the first two books this one was just okay. I’m interested in reading what happens to Tayseer.

Glad to see Vemlox finally get a girl for himself. I've liked him since he "helped" Kingsley sneak out in Alpha Breeds. And Sam is delightful. A rather sharp contrast to Kingsley and Cyan, she's able to keep her wits about her a bit more in these strange new circumstances. Once again, the Alphas are very Alpha, and Venlox's Kori fetish is a bit much for me. But the relationship that develops between him and Sam (once they stop lying to themselves and each other) is adorable.

Definitely worth reading! The storyline is becoming more intense and the Omegas keep showing up one at a time. I'm glad that Vemlox finally gets a shot at one, even if he just intends to give her away. The traveling scenes were harsh and I want a dragon dog like Loyo. I'm still digging the Telean alien connection and wonder if Dreixl will get an Omega eventually too. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series, for sure!

Long Live the Horde

This one was just as good as the previous books in the series. I truly love that the Omega in this one was strong, and truly became stronger once she accepted what she was. I loved that her Alpha was funny, cocky, and a total Daddy. The author wrote a beautiful story that just flowed and was so entertaining that I couldn't stop reading until it ended. I can't wait until the next book.

My very first book by author Milana Jacks. It was a very interesting tale of how human women seem to disappear and are transported to another world through a portal of sorts. They are mated with retired Alphas of a Horde. However, when Sam (Samantha) decides to go back and investigate on her own, she quickly learns that she is not in Kansas (San Diego) anymore. Vemlox is attracted to Sam at first glance but knows he cannot keep her.

Enjoyed it

This had everything that the 1st and 2nd book was missing. I loved the dynamic between Vemlox and Sam. Loyo and Sam’s bond was sweet and although a lot of elements in this story seemed true other made me go hmmmm. Like Sam has a great relationship with her father, but a few days with Vem and she’s like to hell with her family 🤔 but idk, maybe I just haven’t had good enough 🍆 to disagree 😂
