Omega Celibacy Club #1

Make Me Give In

Rate this book
Welcome to the Omega Celibacy Club. No sex until graduation. No unexpected pregnancies. No alphas needed.

SIMON
Even if it’s not politically correct to say so anymore, everyone still knows that alphas and omegas are ruled by their biology. Sure, it’s the twenty-first century now and most people have given up believing in archaic ideas like fated mates, but just take a look at college drop out rates and you’ll see that some things haven’t changed at all. Alphas still dominate, omegas still submit, and horny college kids in heat let their hormones dictate poor choices every day.

Not me and my roommates, though. Not if I have anything to say about it. Too many of our classmates here at Preston College have gotten knocked up and then dropped out. Given up their goals and dreams just because they’ve met an alpha with a big… ego. The point here is that there’s only one surefire way to avoid that trap, and that’s why I started the Omega Celibacy Club. No sex until graduation. No unexpected pregnancies. No alphas needed.

And no, I’m not just saying that because I’ve been hung up on one particular alpha for approximately ever. I’m totally over Hunter King. I mean, not that there was ever anything to get over. Our families have been friends forever and he dated my sister back when I was still just a kid, but even if me and my right hand may have pined for him once upon a time, I barely ever think of him anymore.

I mean never. I never think of him anymore.

Did I mention I’m over it?

HUNTER
Weddings are a great place to get laid, but when I show up for my ex’s big day, I’m hoping to get a lot more than that. I’ve never admitted it, but the reason I broke up with her all those years ago was because of her brother. One look at little Simon Lawson and I was a goner. Of course I didn’t say anything though, not back then. I didn’t touch him. Always kept my distance. I had to, because he was just a kid… but he’s all grown up now.

I’ve bided my time for years, but now I’m ready to see if the feeling is mutual. And if it is, I know exactly what I want. I want Simon. I want a family. And I want it forever. And even though I’ve never been the kind of alpha who imposes his will on omegas, when I finally realize just what it is that my omega needs, I know I’ll do anything at all to make that forever happen.

In fact, I’ll do everything.

MAKE ME GIVE IN is the first book in the Omega Celibacy Club series, a contemporary omegaverse world where the only thing stronger than an alpha’s will is his desire to keep his omega happy, and where even omegas who don’t believe in fated mates sometimes still find them.

Angel Knots

Angel Knots is the pen name of a rabid Omegaverse fan who also happens to be a writer.

In real life, Angel goes by another name and pens contemporary gay romance stories when she's not chasing after the two small humans she spawned during the last decade.

She knows that the fans of her other books may not appreciate knotting, soul-bonds, and male impregnation as much as she does, so with the flick of a pen she created a new identity and happily started filling blank pages with self-lubricating omegas and the alphas they love.

**⭐️4.5 Stars⭐️**

This book was nearly perfect for me. It was just what I needed at the moment. It had lots of things I loved:

❤️One hot, possessive alpha who knows what he wants and goes after it. But also willing to do whatever he can for his omega.
❤️One sweet omega who has dreams but will make sacrifices for his alpha.
❤️Insta-Love. No beating around the bush here people but no ILY’s next day.
❤️Hot sexy times and delicious dirty talking. 🔥🔥🔥
❤️Mpreg. Here comes the babies!
❤️Knotting. Yes!❤️❤️
❤️ MINE, MINE, MINE (Personally that’s my favorite part)😍❤️😍❤️
❤️Great writing so it’s sweet but not overly cheesy.
❤️A little angst but not too much.
❤️A great group of omega friends who all deserve a hot alpha to sweep them off their feet.
❤️Sweet epilogue. Thank you author.

This is going to be a great series. I can’t wait for all of the OCC to find their alphas.

Now, my own petty annoyances that will NOT bother the majority of readers but just a little warning to others who might want to know. But I’ll hide it since some may consider these spoilers.



But as I said these are MY personal hang ups and didn’t ruin the story for me. It was still a great, fun and sweet book. I highly recommend it to lovers of mpreg and knotting.

Really fluffy and sweet and totally angst-free. 😁 It’s good if you are looking for a short and light read with lots of sex. 😉 I was a bit in love with Omega Celibacy Club idea though.

2★'s = it was ok.

So, I had some thoughts but first things first. I found out at the very end of the book that Angel Knots is also Stella Starling.

I AM SHOCKED BY THIS.

I’m pretty sure I really enjoyed the Stella Starling books I’ve read.

This one…I’m on the fence and kind of falling off on to the wrong side of things.

I don’t want to be too harsh, but I know I’m getting ready to go on a rant. There was a lot about this book that I could have really liked but by the end of the read, there was more of the story that I did not like. God I just want a fantastic Alpha/Omega book noooooooowwwwww!!!! Anyway.

This felt really, really, rrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaalllllyyyyy long to me. I’m a huge fan of long books but this just felt a lot like filler that didn’t benefit the story or move it on all that much.

I never got a good feel for either guy or any of the supporting characters. They all just seemed to have one emotion, they just felt flat.

But more than anything else, why did these guys want to be together? I get that Simon had a crush on his older sisters’ boyfriend, and I say boyfriend very lightly. This should have just been a family friend because really, it later sounded like maybe they had a date? If it was longer than that, gross, right? So yeah, how old was Simon then, underage at least. Now, it is seven years later, they have not even seen each other even once. This isn’t a longing from a far. Seeing each other at events and holidays, this is like I had a crush on this guy and then I never saw him again for SEVEN YEARS and I have no idea what he even is doing with his life. But still, I get more where Simon is coming from then I do Hunter. Underage and then gone, gone, gone. But now he is going to make him his. I really wanted to say mine there but not mine, definitely his. Is this just an Alpha/Omega thing? They don’t have to like anything else about each other? They don’t have to know anything about each other? Weird.

There was no conversation. From the get go if Hunter had just told him, hey, I have to work through a project at work and then I am coming for you it could have saved a lot of ridiculous grief. After that, they didn’t talk about anything and everything was a secret, secret, secret. Why wouldn’t you tell your mate that you had been offered a promotion, even if it wasn’t the one you necessarily wanted, you’d still talk about it. Then all the ridiculous drama of the ruining of lives blah, blah, blah. Ugh. It just was drama.

Sex education. Did these people not have any? Everyone seemed very clueless as to how the birds and the bees worked and if an Alphas job is to care for an Omega, they should know the ins and outs of birth control etc. Ridiculous.

And lastly, probably the biggest thing, my baby. This wasn’t used in a way that came across as sweet or romantic or even as a pet name really. Hunter called Simon his baby instead of using his name every single time he referenced him in the book. There had to have been a million my babies in the story and it read so odd!

Angel Knots can definitely write sex scenes though. These were on fire and done extremely well. Extremely.

I wish I had liked this better. I had high hopes for the story and the fact it was a series but man, I just don’t know if I’ll get to the others and it is a bummer because I definitely want to read Tristan's story. And Emmett's. I am unsure about Nolan.

This was just mostly an all-around bust for me.

This book was recommended to me and the title drew me in. I'll admit to just skimming over the blurb, so honestly, I was expecting a little more angst or depth to the story. 100% my fault and not the author's. Putting the expectation aside, this was a well-written book, with an intriguing cast of characters.

Simon and Hunter were super sweet together. Simon is seemingly an omega focused on finishing school and having a successful career, while Hunter is an alpha with a heart of gold that respects his omega's autonomy and wants nothing more than for his omega to have whatever he wants. They've both wanted each other from afar for most of their lives, so once they got together there wasn't really any more question as to whether they would stay together. There were a few blips in the plan, but the plot was pretty straight-forward and predictable and I felt the end was a bit rushed.

If you enjoy stories of insta-love/fated mates, with mpreg, low angst and lots of sex, you will probably love this book. I did enjoy it and really did like the secondary characters and their bonds of friendship and would probably pick up the next story when I want something light and fun.

Sweet, hot, and toe-curlingly romantic, Angel Knots’ Make Me Give In is an absolutely perfect MPreg novel.

Longtime family friends, Hunter has had his eye on Simon since they were kids. Now that Simon’s of age, Hunter isn’t going to lose this opportunity to make his move. When they finally meet up it turns out Simon’s in heat (and desperate for an alpha), Hunter simply can’t resist.

Equally head-over-heels for Hunter, Simon can’t believe his luck when the hunky alpha turns out to be an incredibly nice guy. Putting his omega’s needs above his own, Hunter is the ideal alpha and these two are an absolutely adorable couple.

For me, the best part of Make Me Give In is the depth and detail Ms. Knots includes to establish this alpha/omega MPreg universe. Details explaining the alpha/omega bond, heats, and cultural expectations are clear and logical and elevate this one to a whole ‘nother level.

Bonus! It’s been far too long since I’ve had the pleasure of listening to an audiobook narrated by Charlie David, and he absolutely kills this one. I love Mr. David’s deep and growly alpha voice, and it works perfectly for the alphas. Plus there are some hot D/s scenes and some very gentle bondage… I don’t think I have to tell Charlie David fans how spectacularly he performs these!

The novels of The Omega Celibacy Club are centered around a group of four omega schoolmates. The friends have a number of charming scenes together and their playful camaraderie really comes through. Their sweetness and innocence is adorable, and I can’t wait to get the rest of their tales.

4.5 stars for me. Angel Knots is finally back! It's been years since we saw a story from this pen name (although she's been writing as some other names) and I'm so, so glad to see that we have a new series from her.

This is contemporary non shifter mpreg, and revolves around a group of friends in college, all omegas, who form their own club together to support and help each other out to ensure that they reach their life goals are don't get offtrack from a hot alpha and all their pheromones.

Simon is the leader of the OCC, and is determined to see himself and his friends and brother get through college and find careers without getting derailed by pregnancy. However, he finds out early on that it's easier said than done to ignore his drive and his lust and love for Hunter. When Hunter comes back, ready to take Simon on as a mate, the two are just FIRE together. So smoking hot. But Hunter is also a good man and understanding of Simon's hopes and dreams for a career after college that doesn't necessarily include kids, so he's willing to do what it takes to make sure that doesn't happen, and put Simon first. Hunter is a wonderful alpha, I just adored him.

I loved the super heat - seriously, major steam factor for this story. And the knotting and all the good things that are involved in alpha/omega pairing. Lots of sexy possessiveness, claiming, and a whole thing about fated mates, which I love. I also really loved this whole group of friends. I really, really can't wait for Tristian's story - he's such a bright, happy person, rooting for Hunter and Simon and totally deserves to find his own fated mate.

I do wish there had been a bit more story in between the last chapter when all secrets are revealed and the epilogue. Can't wait for Nolan's story - he's so serious, but we got hints of what was going on with him in Simon's story (baking for his professor!) so I can't wait to read his story and the other members of the OCC.

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Fun mpreg story, a lot better than most I've read lately. I skipped parts starting around 70ish percent because it got to be too long winded, like it taking forever to get to Simon telling Hunter he's pregnant, and the very, veryyyy long, drawn out sex scenes that were nice at first but got to be too long and too much pretty soon, and I was skipping those as well to get to the good part, because there's two ends of the scale. Two little, too quick of a sex scene....and then too long of ones, too drawn out. I know it's hard to find the balance, but at some point I'm like "all right just get in him and fuck him already, enough foreplay with all the 'please fuck me' over and over and overrrr" like I don't need pages of sex scenes, just good ones.

I also felt that Simon and Hunter happened too quickly for my tastes. While I liked them, we're just told they had crushes on each other and then the wedding happens and then they're happening with no build up and it's like 'woah okay' and then after that Simon is all pining for Hunter and we didn't get that build up. They were sweet together, but I needed a build up for their love for each other. More of the romance and less of the "fated mates" thing because it just made them...together without having to do any of the work of making their love believable.

So 3 stars for me, because it was much better written than a lot of mpreg stories I've read, and I did like these two together at times, and the mpreg was well done...it just fell flat in other areas for me. It was long, but it spent so much time with sex scenes or scenes with the others just talking and talking and talking that it didn't take the time to develop the romance and such. I just needed more, so 3 stars for me overall.

DNF ~45%

TBH, I didn't have high hopes for this one but it was free and I wanted something super mindless so I thought it *might* be okay. Concept wasn't terrible, but the author goes hard on the alpha/omega biology and I found the switch in Simon after he and Hunter ~connect~ to be really off-putting. It's one thing to shift your strict commitment to celibacy once you find a partner, it's another to have a complete personality change and to skip basic protection that would ensure you don't get pregnant (the entire point) because you're suddenly so fucking turned on you can't bear for a condom to get in the way?? IDK, I'm fairly certain I stopped reading in the middle of the stupid and ill-advised sex that was probably going to lead to Simon getting pregnant and I very much am not interested in that story.

Not the head of the celibacy club being the horniest MF to ever horn💀honestly this really tracks.

"You guys are in a WHAT?"
"A celibacy club." Fun, FUN thing to discover about your omega.

Anyway. This book is funny and I honestly don't know if that was intentional or not. Because how is Mr Keep Your Legs Shut ALSO the one begging for breeding literally two chapters in?

Mr Pregnancy Ruins Omega Lives? 💀Nah, the jokes write themselves. This guy met his alpha and was all 'My Man, My Man, My Man' IMMEDIATELY. No trial period necessary. They did not have to MAKE this man do anything, he was WILLING!

I was cackling the entire time and the gag is, I went into this looking for an MC with a spine.

LOL.

Anyway all I can say is this book does not go the direction you'd think(and this is somehow also a good thing??) but it is also deeply unserious and fun nonetheless.

HUUUUGE shout out to the narrator Charlie David. Really made this a banger.

All reviews are voluntary and my honest opinion.

I had a bit of a love-hate relationship with this book.
I think I was expecting more of the societal ramifications of Alpha/Beta/Omega relationships. I tend to prefer when the omegas fight their natural instincts, so that the book tends to be less dubious consent and more focused on the political side of the trope.

Simon and Hunter are cute together, but I was a bit disappointed that Simon founded the Omega celibacy group and then basically threw things out the window two seconds later. Hunter likes using his Alpha voice, and I there's definitely an audience for that, but it's probably not me. I do like some dubcon novels, but I think in this context, it didn't quite work.

The book was well written, and there's a demographic for it. I have friends who would really enjoy it. It just didn't fall into my niche. I also wanted more of an in depth and serious discussion about Simon's career, and that being a priority for Hunter.

I was invested in the other characters, and I'll end up reading the remaining books in the series, I'm just not sure if this is going to be a re-read set for me.

I am intrigued that the second book features a student/professor relationship.

3/5 Rating.

Ok, you guys know me and how I am about Omegas, so I was all over this book and series. And I was happy to see that again, omegas were taking their power back. They wanted to have careers and know they could do that without having to get barefoot and pregnant and be at the whim of alphas.
It was important even more to Simon, because he has just see his friends get trapped by a pregnancy and having to give up their dreams of college and careers because they didn’t know how to have a baby and a career both. Alone. And Simon didn’t want that. Not to mention, the only alpha he wanted was his SISTER’S ex. Yeah, even with her being married now, he wasn’t sure how that would go over. But what Simon didn’t realize, is why it never worked with his sister and Hunter. Hunter broke it off because the omega he really wanted was Simon. And now that Simon is old enough and Hunter in a place he can take care of his omega, he wanted to claim Simon as his. He knew Simon was his and it was time. But at Simon’s sister’s wedding, things didn’t turn out all that great. Oh, it turned out ok in the end, but it was after that the trouble started. Simon didn’t believe Hunter really wanted him and when he found out Hunter really did, it set things in motion. And that motion set other things in motion and now everything is up in the air. Simon is a mess, Hunter is trying to get through to him and doesn’t know if he can. Hunter has to show Simon he’s serious and this is it for him, but will Simon give in or let go?
Omegas have it so hard. NO matter how hard they fight, when they get pregnant with or without an alpha to support them, it seems like they are always the ones giving up their dreams and hopes for their futures. Even if they love the alpha they are with. They have things they want to do like everyone else. So, I get how Simon feels. And how he wants to protect his brother and his friends from it as well. He knows how hard everyone is working to obtain their goals and he’s seen one too many of his friends have to give up college and their goals to have the babies and stay at home. But getting hit with the man of his dreams, in Hunter, left him wobbly and a mess. He never expected the man of his dreams to want him back. And Hunter, bless him, was patient, even when Simon was pushing him to the brink of his insanity. He wanted Simon to have his dreams and go for the things he wanted. He wanted to be hands on with his family, taking care of them just as much as Simon would. And that’s how an alpha should be.
So Simon technically isn’t part of the OCC anymore. He’s fixing to have a family and graduate. And with the way the others are acting, I’m curious how it’s going to turn out for them.

Sweet

This is a fun , sweet and entertaining story.

Is about Simon a quirky and lovable College student Omega male and Hunter , an Alpha male and Simon's sister ex-boyfriend .

Simon wants to get his degree and work for a successful Financial Company. An unplanned pregnancy won't derail is dream. So , he convinces his brother and roommates to join him in the OCC AKA Omega Celibacy Club, that means no sex until graduation; that's six months away.

But things go sideways, when Hunter and Simon meet again and oops, Simon's hormones are playing havoc with the OCC. And Simon isn't happy about it; 😏seriously, he already ordered the club t-shirts.

Make Me Give in is the perfect escapism story . It's has almost no angst, it's humorous with very, VERY hot and sexy scenes. Really, there are lots and lots of sexy times. Just what the doctor ordered when feeling blue.

It was my first book by Angel Knots . I am looking forward reading book 2 in the OCC ; Nolan's tale.

Hunter is Simon’s snickerdoodle (an audio review)

I’ll start my review by discussing Charlie David. I enjoy his narrations because he always delivers a solid and reliable performance. He had distinct voices for each of the male characters (and there were a bunch of them), and handled the rest of the book with a solid narration. I’m glad he helmed this book.

I did enjoy the book although I didn’t love it. The story was fairly predictable – an omega who knows pregnancy will ruin his chances of having a successful career and life beyond being a husband and father. Simon is so worried that he recruits his brother and two friends into creating the Omega Celibacy Club. They take a celibacy (note – not virginity) pledge, dedicated to foreswearing all intercourse with alphas until they graduate university. It’s funny to watch how each member tries to figure out what he can get away with (is oral sex included? what about watching porn?).

Simon, although founding member, soon gives up the pledge. He’s found his mate and he’s on blockers, so what’s the big deal, right? Of course I knew he was going to wind up pregnant. Of course I knew he was going to freak out. Of course I knew things would work out in the end. I was looking for more with this book, the first in the series. I wanted to see character growth, but all I saw was overwrought and anxiety. You’d think there had never been a successful working mother before to set a good example. Or, in this world, a father who gave birth and then went on to a career. Even stories from those close to Simon don’t really move the needle with him. I guess I wanted more differentiation between the standard knocked up and pregnant story. It’s a tried and true trope, but I hoped this would go further.


All that being said, I enjoyed the book and will pick up the next one in the series. I’m interested to see how the other men react to Simon’s fatherhood and their own raging omega hormones.

This book isn't bad. Actually it's one of the best in its - low standard - category of "cut-and-dried" stories. The chapters have an ideal length and the book has an ideal number of chapters. The storyline didn't sound rushed ... except maybe the ending and that damn epilogue that came out of nowhere. This author seemed to have troubles keeping a logical flow, jumping from a scene to another way too abruptly, amateurishly... as if the scenes were written separately and were assembled at the last minute. The storyline has lost its balance in the second part of the book (we don't know if Simon started working for the financial company or stayed at home, for example. That was the main intrigue of the book and it was not answered.) Thankfully there weren't too much fillers to make things even worse. There were a few but they weren't bothersome.

After having read so many awful stories lately I am glad I read this. It's not amazing, not the best book in the whole universe but it's not a disaster ... and God knows I have no filter with badly-written books.

I rate this book 2** stars rather than 3 because there were some bothering things in spite of all:
- The banal cover (Why should all the models on gay books' covers be naked nowadays? It pisses me off.)
- The way-too-friendly narrative work that's undesirable in a book. Writing a book and having a talk in the neighboring bar with friends isn't the same.
- The weak personalities of the main characters. There were basically no strong, distinctive features between the characters.
- The storyline lacked some ... fantasy. It was tasteless. The twists were flat and the ending was foreseeable and pathetic.

When I read the blurb for this book I knew I had to read it. Celibate Omegas was an intriguing storyline.
This story doesn’t always go where you think it will. I really enjoyed it! The chemistry between Hunter and Simon is off the charts hot. I thought I was going to combust a few times!
The Omega-verse genre is one of my favorites and this universe it set up well by this author. Now I want book 2!

Fighting biology is never easy but I'm definitely on board if that's what will bring you the most personal satisfaction and happiness. I liked the idea of fated mates and of omegas not letting their drive to submit, have babies, and focus only on child-rearing derail their career goals. While I didn't think the story maintained its strength all the way through, it was a cute story that was full of sweetness and steam.

At the outset we're introduced to very different omegas who will each get their own stories and I'd be willing to read them to see how each of them balance their desires with their dreams. I know dreams can change, that life circumstances show us that what we may have always wanted up to that point isn't what we want from that moment going forward, but it's how the change is accepted and made that makes for a compelling story. I don't think this book met that challenge as well as it could have.

Hunter's control and determination to have Simon completely on board with any relationship changes was admirable. I like that he didn't let biological drives and lust completely take over. The way Simon used certain consequences as the relationship conflict was not my favorite. Nor was their lack of clear communication in conjunction with making decisions on the other person's behalf. I think there could have been something more solid to create the angst and not immature relationship issues.

As for the steamy scenes, I'll admit to skimming and even skipping quite a bit of it. I've rarely said there's too much sex in a book but I think here there was. It was also kind of cringe-worthy in the writing of those scenes. If that were toned down or made more believable I'd have been a fan. As it is though, it just became a significant portion of the story that I didn't give my full attention. With a sweet ending that magically fit Hunter and Simon's new version of "perfection", this wasn't a bad read at all.

The premise around this series is that 4 college friends create the Omega Celibacy Club where they plan to not be the statistic of omegas who get pregnant and drop out of college, which in my opinion seemed like this would have been a very empowering novel, plus it is set in a college (I am also in college) and I thought, even though I am not an Omega or that it is not even real, it could be relatable.
Character(s): 2 Stars
OMG I fucking hated the omega by halfway through the novel. Understandably, during heat -especially the super heat when an omega stops taking heat suppression medicine after a long time- omegas aren't in full control of their bodies. But legit, Simon was the one who created the OCC, the one who was like thou shall not have sex until thy graduates, and what does he do during the first meeting? He has sex with Hunter, an alpha who he thought he had no chance with. The only reason this is a 2 and not a 1, is because I honestly respect Hunter who was trying to provide for his omega and take care of him during his first heat in a long time, although it was still a little dubcon because Simone didn't ask him to be there in the first place.
Plot: 2 Stars
Honestly, pretty much hated how it was going although, stupid me did not pay much to the title because it clearly says, make me give in.
Convention/Writing Style: 3 Stars
Pretty basic, with alternating POVs between the two main characters.
Recommendation: 2 Stars
If you want smut, this book is perfect for you! If you wanted the Omega to wait until after college to give in, I would say this is not for you.

Overall, this book ranked up a total of 13 Stars out of 25, which is equivalent of 3 Stars.

A new author to me in Angel Knotts and I really enjoyed the series that she's started with Make Me Give In. We get introduced to a great group of omegas that I'm looking forward to reading more of with some seeds sown in this book for future stories.
Book 1 focuses on omega Simon, fed up of seeing other omega's give up everything for their alpha, starts the Omega Celibacy Club with his friends and brother. Unbeknownst to him, within days he'll meet the alpha that he's longed for for several years and everything will change for him.
Hunter knows exactly what, and who, he wants when he goes to the wedding of an ex. Her brother, Simon, has been on his mind for years though he has been waiting and allowing the young man to grow up and now he's ready to get his man.
The two men work well together, you can tell there's attraction and a connection between the two. Angel has written them well, allowing us to experience everything along with them as you read their story. There's a roller coaster of emotions for both men with interference from friends, family, heats and emotions that keep both men on their toes. The story moves along at a good pace, I love all of the characters that we meet and there are definitely enough hot scenes to keep you on your toes :-)
I recommend trying this new series, and looking forward to more from this author.
I received an ARC and am happily giving an ARC

First time reading alpha/omega mpreg by this author and I enjoyed the book.

Normally Mpreg isn't my thing but I figured I'd step outside of my comfort zone and give it a try. I'm glad I did. This was a sweet story and an interesting plot.

In a world where humans are either alphas or omegas, Simon is an omega intent on being more than just an alpha's spouse and parent to a brood of kids. He wants a career, he wants to finish his education, and he's not gonna let some hot alpha intent on breeding him get in the way. So he and his roommates form the Omega Celibacy Club - the OCC. No sex before graduation, no giving in to a hunky Alpha and throwing their dreams away before they have a chance to live them.

Enter Alpha Hunter. He'd once dated Simon's older sister but had to break it off because the minute he'd laid eyes on a much younger Simon he'd know that Simon was _his_ Omega. But he's done waiting and at his ex's wedding Hunter is determined to make Simon realize they were meant to be together and that he wants Simon to have his dreams as well, because he wants Simon to be happy with his life and with Hunter as his Alpha.

Throw in an unexpected heat, a bunch of well-meaning friends and family, and that pesky thing called biology and Hunter and Simon have a bit of a rocky road to happily ever after. But they do get there in the end.
