Spoilers ahead



Tayseer is an Alpha Collector in service to the king, he loves his country and takes his duties seriously. After being injured he's found by the slave girl Jewel and she nurses him back to health. After his recovery he realises she's a human Omega and although he's come to care for her his duty demands he takes her to the king.

Jewel is a human female who's been on Regha since she was a teen, after a horrific incident with an Alpha male she's been living with her beta family as a slave who's illtreated and abused. She's pleased at being thought an Omega as her quality of life will improve, but war is brewing and the unexpected arrival of the King sets things into motion.


***********
1) Even after reading 4 of this author's books back to back I'm still not used to her writing style

2) This was my least liked of this series as I wasn't a fan of Tayseer

3) The h was ok but because the previous h was a badass she felt a little lacking

4) I had hoped Loven would be king

5) I appreciate the fact that the author didn't drag out the series, I'll be moving on to the spinoff

6) Down to the bonding made me upset in this book, the need for the red armor dimmed what should've been a beautiful scene as in the previous books

7) This author's humor cracks me up,that period scene was epic



No cheating
I assume, given Tayseer's history of transporting Omegas but not touching them,that hes a virgin?? I'm not 100% sure
It seems the h was raped at 15 by an Alpha in a rut? I'm still confused to be honest

Woo hoo...Tayseer’s here, Tayseer’s here *jumps up & down. I have been “patiently” waiting for this book since Loven’s book. Oh, and he and Loven crack me up with their competitiveness, they are so damn funny. This book was absolutely everything I hoped it would be, it was a great way to wrap up the series.

Jewel is a human slave on his planet, she happens to find him and nurses him back to health. He is quite taken with her, but as always my Tayseer is in complete control. He is definitely my favorite character in this series, stubborn, tough as nails, but also such a sweetheart that takes care of his Omega aka Jewel. I love the way Milana Jacks writes her Alpha’s in this series, they are so arrogant and I just can’t help but laugh at the way she writes them, because as much as they are supposedly expectant, they very much pamper their women, and I adore them for it. When Jewel gets her period...one of the funniest scenes ever, he is totally freaking out and Loven is of no help. Jewel is awesome, I love her spirit despite everything she had been through on their planet starting at the age of 13. She is the perfect Omega for Tayseer, he’s all business, her...not so much.

This is the final book in the Horde series, I know, I know, don’t get your panties in a twist just yet, because there’s going to be a spin-off series. Yup, you read that right and I can hardly contain myself. My excitement is so damn real right now. This was a safe read with one virgin, my Tayseer. Jewel had an incident with another Alpha when she was 15, he was a real piece of work, but he gets his. Jewel’s beta parents are not very nice to her, this might be a trigger for some. We get to see characters from the previous books, especially Loven *shake my head*. This book, as with all Milana Jacks books was funny af, I flove her humor, it’s what makes her books even better. They were hot af with some spanking. We get some baby batter, epilogues (plural) and a great hea.

I only read this to see how the series ended. I wasn’t invested in Tayseer and Jewel’s story at all and skipped over most of their romance arc.

Bottom Line- The last half of the book was great from a brotherhood, rebellion, action, king slayer standpoint. The end sets it up for a spinoff for the kids.

I really liked this series. Lots of humor and the alphas are SUCH alphas but their weakness is the omega they find that's theirs only. Lots of humor, laughed out loud numerous times. Now on to the Hordesmen, a spin-off from this series.

I love these books. The humor is just right, the absolute way that these Alphas fall for these Earth women is great. Tayseer has never let an Omega get to him until Jewel. She rescues him and nurses him back to health. What ensues from there is how he fell hard and fast and had to go agaisnt all of his training and knowledge to secure his love.

I also, love,love,love the family dynamic throughout this story. From Loven's book through Tayseers, the live amongst the family is beatiful to see. Duty,honor and family.

Heat level was 🔥🔥🔥 on this one. I thoroughly enjoyed this series.

Oh my goodness! Finally, Tayseer’s book! I just knew this was going to be one heck of a conclusion to the series and I wasn’t disappointed in this storyline. So many twists and turns, and Tay’s reaction to Jewel, was fantastic. It’s always great when the tough guys fall, and fall hard. An epic conclusion to a series that had fantastic characters, detailed world building, and a storyline that led me to read all 4 books in 3 days. I definitely recommend this series and am off to read Ms. Jacks newest book!

I love it - straight away and without any ifs or buts!

The best book of the series and comes into its own best if you have read #1-3 before.

The lively light humor and fun at the expense of the disciplined, honorable (a bit narrow-mindedly bored) Tayseer along with the lightness and pragmatic nature of Jewel is simply great. Both manage to fall victim to themselves and are so adorable.

According to laughter and a few happy, funny tears were a constant companion while reading and irritated my environment. And it didn't bother me at all, I had fun and pure reading pleasure.

The author created a wonderful world, took our small and big everyday difficulties and challenges with her and transferred them grandiosely, not forgetting the wink in the corner of the eye.
Great, unique, varied characters, which you can easily follow in their development, the story is varied, captivating and without lean periods and always unexpected, but with HEA.

Sure, I want more of REGHA's Horde and am happy, giggling and excited about the ALPHA HORDESMEN series.

Thanks a lot. ♥️️♥️♥️ Can't wait. 😉

Since only 5 stars are allowed, I help myself with shining, glittering stars ✨

Jewel has been on Ragha for several years living as a slave to a pair of Betas when she comes across a wounded Alpha and nurses him back to health.
Wounded and temporarily blinded from a gunshot Tayseer is not happy when his sight returns and he learns the slave girl he has been becoming attached to is a human Omega. As a Collector he is sworn and believes she belongs to the King and he needs to take her to the Compond. On the trip they are trapped in a town by his brother, the traitor leader, Loven. Before they can escape the King arrives, and though Tayseer has fallen in love with Jewel he still plans to do his duty and turn her over to the king.. Until he learns the king has done the unforgivable and harmed the Omegas in his care. I enjoyed this whole series and though each book can be read seperately, they each bring something to a larger story and should be read that way. I read and reviewed this book voluntarily. No cheating. No cliffhanger.

4.5 stars. My favorite of the series now...

This volume is dedicated to Tayseer, the Alpha Collector and the King's right-handed male, and Jewel, an Earther Omega that had stumbled through the space gate when she was thirteen, becoming a slave on Regha as she wasn't a Reghan citizen. Even though we've been introduced to Tayseer in previous books, we get a chance to see. his character and why he is what he is. Now we get an understanding of Reghan politics, especially the king with red armor yet without a queen standing by his side. Now we get a better understanding why the king treats the omegas as he does, including the sequestering of omegas within the compound at the Reghan capitol.

Jewel hasn't much of a pedigree to her. She was "sold" by the village alpha to a beta couple who took care of her for additional cash. Her "nest" is in the chicken coop which is why she smells like their poop, Tayseer mentally notes when he first meets her. For some reason, she only smells like an omega to only Tayseer, not anyone else. Tayseer is convinced that she will be the perfect queen for the king as the king required heirs lest all-and-all out civil war happens. That cannot be allowed. Wow. Finally answers to some of my many questions. If the king has red armor, where is his queen? Any heirs ever? If so, what happened to them? Why is the king going stir-crazy? And it gets worse. Loven wants Tayseer to bond with Jewel. Tayseer only wants to get Jewel to the omega compound in order to protect her until she goes into heat (hopefully soon!) in order to tempt the king to bond with her to produce much needed heirs. But will the king be tempted? Talk about fun Reghan politics!!

I really can get into Tayseer and Jewel and both their angst about being with the other. I usually detest the angst, but not with these two. It's as if this angst has matured to something less whiney and something more constructive. In other words, they don't stand around and do nothing. They do something! What a wonderful gush of fresh air! (Among other things gushy...)

The world-building only improves with this book. Now I understand more and more about Regha, its goods and its bads. And the intricacies of alpha behavior. Gah! Talk about a ton of issues! But it is good to see the entire family find a way to become a cohesive family unit within the rules and regulations that governs proper Reghan alpha behavior and honor. Now things make sense.

Great continuity with the other books. I'm still seeing improper use of paragraphs which really messes with my brain's speed reading which really annoys me. I'm still seeing use of strictly American colloquialisms and cliches being used in situations in which Earther speech contamination never made it that far. Yeah, I'm being picky, but the Telean translator is in no position to dictate proper American sarcasm.

I'm very disappointed that there will be no more storylines amongst our current actors, but we will have their offspring to play around with. Which should be fun considering how much breeding will be going on amongst this generation! Now I get to read the next series within the Milanaverse ( just saw this term being used today! Hee hee!) which should be very interesting now with a new set of eyeballs, so to speak.

I highly recommend getting all the book in this series, especially this one. It ties everything up with as much, if not more, action and adventure over the previous three books together. Fun. Exciting. And plenty of blood shed just for the hell of it.

Action packed series finale! Highly recommend!

I do NOT consider these to be stand-alone reads, as there are reoccurring characters and overarching themes.

Contains subject matter that may be a trigger or offensive to some including adult language, steamy adult intimate scenes of dominance, submission, restraints, spanking for punishment, etc. and violence including kidnapping / abduction, human trafficking, enslavement, murder, torture, rape, gang rape, assault, betrayal, fighting, etc.

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


There are more grammatical issues in this story than in the previous. There are quite a few typos, missing and extra inserted words. I am trying to make sure I provide this information for readers such as myself that visualize the story as it is read, as errors interrupt the flow.

There are a lot of storyline plots that Milano Jacks brings to fruition. There are also strings to future series. I appreciate that while the series has a complex plot that stretches across the 4 stories and that she was able to resist the temptation of making it longer.

Tayseer is the Alpha over the King’s Collectors. He is responsible for finding, verifying and taking the female Omegas to a compound governed by the King, as they are his “property”. If they are not protected they are at risk from Alphas when they go into heat. Tayseer has taken special steps so that he is never at their mercy.

He is found by Jewel, a human that has become enslaved right after she arrived on the new planet. Apparently she came through a space portal of some kind when she was 13. She was seized by Alphas and used violently, but eventually she was placed with beta parents. It isn’t the biggest place, but at least she is fed and has a roof over her head. Jewel is their slave and is forced to work on the farm, attend the animals and sell products at the market.

Normally Alpha Helon comes by and purchases most of the product she has for sale, but he didn’t show up and she didn’t sell anything. On her way home, she sees one of the Hounds with a fancy saddle on its back. Jewel approaches it and then she sees a male covered in blood. Maybe she can find something she can sell since he is dead … he isn’t going to need it, right?!

So she gives the Hound a bone and then a bite of jerky. He lets me go over to his Master. Then I hear a grunt … oh, boy he is still alive!

In this the last book of the series we finally see Tayseer find out about human women.

Tayseer was carried away by Loyo, Vemlox's hound and he is found by Jewel, who found herself in an alien planet 7 tears ago when she was only 13. She has been given to a beta family who have used her as a slave and she had therefore learnt the language on her own.

Jewel takes her back to her family and looks after him as they mistake him for part of the horde. Tayseer has no choice but be looked after by a female that he cannot see properly, but when he can finally see, he knows exactly what he has found and punishes those that have kept her hidden.

Tayseer starts by doing his job and collecting her and his possessions, but it is not long before his brother traps his and then the king comes to the village and Tayseer is under more stress and prepping Jewel for him.

By being by himself and not having other collectors there however, he finds himself falling for this strange female and even has himself in a panic at one point.

Jewel is kidnapped from under his nose when he ends up in a fight with the king and it is Loven who eventually has to go and get him, while Jewel finds herself in Ohala and going into heat, but when Tayseer arrives he does not immediately want to see her which hurts more.

Tayseer of course ends up going to see her, helping her heat and bonding her and getting his own red armour and challenging the king, all while knowing secrets that not many others know about the king.

I really enjoyed seeing Tayseer fall and learning new life lessons and taking over with his Jewel at his side.

It’s a good read and romance for Tayseer

I like the series and this world where the story exists. It’s a nice twist for the alien male to human female troupe. Both Tayseer and Jewel are hilarious to me. They are each a bit selfish but perfect for each other. Jewel was kidnapped at thirteen and is used to the slave life. Tayseer is head of the collectors and a stickler for being right and following the law. His brother Loven, from book one, not so much and has taken charge to change their place from the awful King. Loven is trying to unite all his siblings to war against the awful King. Tayseer is the final sibling to bring over to the rebellion and the hardest to convince. The world building is good but I wished for more from the author. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed this story and the characters however I wanted to know more about their siblings. How many are there? How come they know some and not all. We only know about Loven, Kinre, Tayseer, the sister Siobine and perhaps one more. How do they know each other? Do they have the same parents? I ask because Tayseer is found to have traits of a specific tribe but it is not mentioned if any of his siblings have the same. I read the ending notes from the author of how she felt this series was complete. In my perspective, not so much really because it would have been nice for a bit more family details. There is a happy ending and like two epilogues and a glimpse into the next series with the children from this series. Read On!

I hate giving one star to a book I completely finished. There was clearly something there that meant I didn't DNF, and I have no qualms dropping a book that isn't doing it for me. But I think in this case I finished it because I was so damn confused that I kept going to see if it was going to make sense.

Spoiler: It never does.

This is the last in a series (and I deeply appreciate the author having a vision, seeing it though, then just doing a spin off series instead of making this one go on forever) and the only other one I read was the first. I don't think I missed anything by skipping the two middle installments, but you couldn't read this one without the background, thin as it is, of the first.

While the writing of the first one didn't impress me either, it's issue was more one of depth. This books issue is just a lack of writing. I know there was a plot in here, and I think there were characters that had feels, but damn if it didn't take rereading interactions and plot points to... Still not understand it. The conversations are a jumbled mess that only make sense half the time, the characterization of every single person was confusing and contradictory, and honestly the story itself just didn't make a ton of sense.

I kept wanting something to click, but I think a good editor was needed in order to make this story work. Sad too because it was clearly the epic finale and could have been good had more care been taken with the prose.

Surprising then of events

I just be clueless because I did not see this book coming at all.

I really hated Tayseer and didn't see how he'd turn it around at all.

I was wrong.

He learned many secrets. He's kept many secrets. He's known all about red armor from the beginning. The red king has gone mental. He's never actually wanted to care for Omegas at all.

I loved how through it all, Loven never have up on his big brother.

Tayseer was so sweet when he was weak and injured. As soon as he recovered he freaks out about letting an Omega touch him. He is trapped in a village with an Omega.

Somehow Loven knew it had to be Tayseer to be the one to rule. I loved how all the brothers and sisters ended up fighting on the same side.Everything was mending in the end.

I loved how Tayseer went from thinking that he was fighting for his King and Omegas and Regha to realizing the king wasn't serving Reyna but himself. I can't wait for the next series.

Ending

This was the last story in the series and boy is it a page turner and full of twists and turns
Of course we see Loven and Kinred, Sidone siblings of Tayseer
But if you read previous books you know Tayseer is a Collector and supposedly immune to Omegas but we find out doing this story
He falls in love with an Omega, Jewel
How he gets there is what makes this ending book so exciting
Please do yourself a favor and get your copy especially if you read books 1-3 already you need the closure
I read the Hordesmen series which was fantastic
You can tell I’m a fan of Milana Jacks, she weaves some page turning stories you can put down
Her fantasy worlds keep you engaged and wanting more
Well I’m sorry for the end of this series, but fear not there is another series waiting for me that I’ve haven’t read yet
See you around

The males in this series are just a little too alpha for me. And Tayseer seems so callous and cruel, especially in the beginning. He's also (quite!) a bit slow on the uptake as to what is happening to his world and what needs to be done about it. The relationship that develops between him and Jewel is fast and furious, but nonetheless very special. She is definitely a brave young woman, especially the more that we learn about her history. There were plenty of twists and turns in this story, and the ending was not at all what I expected when I began this series, but it was totally fitting and worthwhile.

Why must it end.

I am in my bed right now crying my ass off because my favorite series from Milana Jack's has ended. If you are a true omegaverse reader you will know that this series is one of the best, if not the greatest omegaverse written. If by chance you are a beginner then hot damn you are in luck, because you have picked the best to start out with. I envy all who will read these stories for the first time, you couldn't have picked a better author or genre to dip your proverbial toes into. Happy reads.

Writing sucked me in!

I detest the omegaverse but Tay was drawn with such irreverence and pompousness, I swooned. Not too mention I fall in love with his brother Lowen by the end too. The pace, the snark from the h Jewel and the family at odds dynamic made for an unbeatable cocktail. I had to keep reading and getting to know these complex yet quirky characters. They were everything I loved about reading romance and adventure . Not to brutal like most omega outings and imbued with a silver lining that kept optimistic and hopeful instead of squeamish. 4.5 stars!

Happy ending to this part of the series

I enjoyed this story very much Loved both Tayseer and Jewel the book ended very nicely and left an opening for the author to create a pretty good spin off for this series so next up is the Hordesmen and the first book is about the Prince I'm curious to know why in the heck Jewel and Tayseer decided to name their kid Hungry any ways check out this series I'm pretty sure you will enjoy it

Favorite book of the series

No question. Amazing and fun and sexy series. With fully developed male and female characters, with brotherly love without as much of the darkness most writers put into these omegaverse books(not that that is a bad thing, but this is a somewhat milder omegaverse which I loved as well) I am glad that the series is complete(I hate how some series drag and drag and drag) but am soooo grateful that there is a a spinoff series

Big softy

Tayseer is known for being an Omega collecting, loyal only to the king badass. So it is a pleasant surprise to see all of his walls come crashing down for a human Omega named Jewel.

I love how this alpha has met his match in a mate that understands the order of his world and wants to help his dream of making it a better place. They think with reason rather than impulse and lead the kingdom towards a golden age.

I seriously loved this! Very humorous and straight up in your face! I may not have cared for the repetitive use of a certain word, but it is what it is. These books take prisoners and don't worry about your sensibilities. Maybe that's why they are so popular! If you want something out of this world, look no further! This hot alpha male will most definitely intrigue you. This was throughly enjoyable and easy to blaze through. I kinda love this author.

Perfect Ending

Great ending! I love when I can find a series that holds me until the end. But I have got to say that first King really made me angry! The nerve of the guy to burn Omegas! He must have been plumb crazy after so many years without his one true love. And, thanks for the segue to the Hordesmen series. Now I can go back and read Hunger with more understanding of where that story line started.

This is a voluntary ARC review. Love the over the top alpha, where in the world does she come up with these stories. I love they way it is written, the creativity! It pulls me right in, from the front cover to the last page, saying hot damn!! Do read them in order, it’s just easier to understand that way. You will become a fan!!

Perfect end

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series. Every book was exciting yet a little different. I really waited with baited breath for Tayseer's story, because I knew it would be epic. As always Milana Jacks did not disappoint. I love a strong alpha who can bend the knee for his lady! Read this book, you won't regret it 🖤
