The Hidden Omega

Rate this book
There's something wrong with me. Sometimes I'm not even sure I'm human.
I was raised by humans, and all my life I thought I was a monster.
Turns out I'm something more valuable - an omega bear shifter.

After being kidnapped for a prostitution ring, I'm rescued by the Hell's Bears MC.
There is Clay who imprints on me, Mike who comforts me, and Bruno the alpha.
Sometimes it seems like Bruno wants nothing to do with me...

Do they really want me to be a member of their pack,
or do they just want to use me for breeding?


Special Note: 18+ Only. HEA ending. Reverse harem.

💢This is definitely a very good book different than most of the Omegas, but outstanding.
Everything you can think of is in it Adventure, Survival, Fear, Jealousy, Betrayal, Suspense, Mystery, Action Packed, Loyalty, Hate, Lust, Love, Wickedly Hot.

🔹️ Lane is human and she’s different, she was adopted and has a secret, she kept to herself since the day she found out. Lane loves men, she craves men just another secret she has to swallow. After running away from her adopted family she is kidnapped. Now what?

🔹️Bruno is a Bear Shifter who is hiding with his two pack mates Clay and
Mike. They exist in the woods alone hoping they don’t run into they’re old tyrant of an Alpha. One day they ran into a barn full of women. One women was a shifter, she didn’t even know- let alone Lane is an Omega.

📌 I read this book and my comments here are my own opinion.

Okay

The Hidden Omega is actually an okay shifter romance. I like Lane’s (the FMC, she’s an Omega) character…although I kinda thought she took to the notion, was just a little tooooo enthusiastic when she learned her “purpose” was to bear cubs for the pack. Seriously, she had enough “strength,” and will power to run away from her awful home, and survive being kidnapped by a sex trafficking ring, but she was elated to learn that her “role” in the Pack (what made her unique and rare) was basically to be a breeder. Sure her guys imprinted on her, and fell in love with her, but still, she was just soooo happy to learn that that was her role.

I liked Bruno’s character, for the most part. I felt like it took him a bit too long to accept, admit and take over the role as Alpha of his new pack. I enjoyed his interactions with Lane, and thought that of the three harem members he was the best “fleshed out” character. His character kind of “overtook” Mike, and Clay’s characters, however. He also seemed to have the most chemistry with Lane, even if they all three had sex with her. There was nothing really wrong with Mike or Clay’s characters, save the fact that they were both somewhat two dimensional, lacked depth, and were just basically…blah. Nothing about either of them really stood out, and Bruno definitely overshadowed them.

The plot was pretty good, it was sweet but also exciting at times. The sex scenes were somewhat steamy, if not a bit short…but I think that was my main issue with the book…it felt like it was too short to handle all the situations, and action that took place within it. The overall story arc was good, but there were a lot of heavy issues like sex trafficking, murder, secret children, running from a violent evil gang, and three relationships to build up, in a novel of this length, to deal with. Some of the story felt rushed, and some of the story “threads” were VERY QUICKLY handled and tied up neatly, too neatly, and too quickly.

Overall, however, The Hidden Omega is a decent shifter romance read. It lacks significant depth, but if you’re in the mood for an easy and “light” paranormal shifter romance, it’ll fit the bill.

“The Hidden Omega” is another wonderful addition to the Hells Bears MC series and also a definite five star read. This time around the story involves three bear shifters who imprint on Lane which means she is the fated mate to Bruno, Clay and Mike. These shifters have left their clan to begin a new one because they do not like or agree on the changes that their Alpha is imposing. Lane is a twenty-three year old woman who was adopted as a child and doesn’t realize that she is a bear shifter and also a rare Omega. Lane has been treated cruelly by her her adopted family and is very unhappy never having felt loved. Lane runs away after she is physically abused by her step-mother. The three shifters save Lane from some evil human traffickers. What will happen when the traffickers find Lane? How is it that Lane doesn’t know she’s a shifter? Will Lane become the Omega for Bruno, Clay and Mike? This unique story-line intrigued me from the first chapter and kept me reading non-stop until the final page. If you enjoy paranormal romance specifically bear shifter romance along with danger, action and sizzling passion, “The Hidden Omega is for you.
This is not an ARC as I purchased the book on the Canadian site.

The Hidden Omega

Lane is a 23 year old woman who has been in deed imprisoned in the house she grew up in. She was adopted as a child but after her parents has her step sister their attitude changed towards her. She thinks and feels that she is different and not right because when she's angry she becomes a bear. One day in getting away from her family she is seen by a neighbor without clothes. Her mom takes a strap to her and after she's bloodied her they go to dinner. Lane packs a backpack and Grand done good and leaves. When she feels she's far enough away she falls asleep only to be found by men who take women and sell them out. She's rescued by the men, Bruno, Clay and Mike. She is shocked when they call her a shifter like them. They're confused as to why she doesn't seem to know anything about shifters. It's a learning curve that all four have to wade through as they come to terms in becoming a pack. Especially Bruno as he has to learn to be an alpha.
Fantastic story about the Hells Bears and the Omega for them!!

This is the first book I have read about the Hells Bears. I enjoyed the book, but I think the first part about Lane was kind of boring. I couldn't understand how they could force a 21-year-old to have an abortion, geeze. When her "mother" began to beat her, a twenty-three-year-old woman, I just rolled my eyes. That woman would have been wearing that belt as a throat ornament if she had tried that on me. Anyhoo, there was definitely a lot of groups into kidnapping women in this one. Whether it was to use them as prostitutes or to force them to make babies, most of the males in the book were the dregs of the earth.

Fortunately, Bruno, Clay, and Mike were the opposite kind of men, er bears. They rescued the woman their Alpha "bought" to use as a prostitute, and they rescued a bunch of woman that were being held the same place Lane was. They were also the ones to realize that Lane was one of them, a shifter. I won't tell you any more about what happens as you need to read it for yourself. If you like reverse harem type books you will likely enjoy this one.

New Pack, New Family, and Finally the Feeling of Belonging

This story started off a little less for me, but it didn’t take long for the story to pick up and grab me and then it didn’t let me go.

Lane has never felt like she fit in or loved by her family and doesn’t know why she is drawn to sex as much as she is. Adopted as a baby she has no idea what it is that makes her different until she is rescued by Bruno, Mike and Clay, who just happen to be bear shifters.

Bruno, Mike and Clay don’t agree with the way their alpha is leading their pack and make a decision to start out on their own. Little do they know that life as they know it will be changing in a way they couldn’t even dream of.

This is an enjoyable shifter story with twists, turns, action and suspense. Very enjoyable read with a blessed ending.

Interesting plot line; good character development. This is the first book that I have read in the “Omega” series and I needed to wrap my mind around what an Omega Bear was. I rated “Hidden Omega” three stars because the novel is well written except for some grammatical and proofreading errors. In Chapter 9, there is a confusing wordy paragraph when Clay and the others are trying to convince Bruno that he is an Alpha. In the closing chapters, there is a substitution for the name Greg with the name Gary. I could not find anyone named Gary in the novel. The characters are described well and bits and pieces of their backstories unfold as “Hidden Omega” progresses. The sex scenes are good, but not over-the-top. More effort is used to describe the emotional closeness of Lane with Bruno, Clay, and Mike than the mechanics of their relationships. All in all, a good relaxing read.

What a great ending to this series

The Hidden Omega: Hells Bears MC Book 3
By: J.L. Wilder
Kindle unlimited purchase
Bruno, Mike and Clay are running from their alpha. They left their life behind because they couldn't agree with their alpha and his plan to help their pack financially.
Lane grew up knowing she wasn't wanted, not by her parents or her sister. Her parents were told they couldn't have children so they adopted Lane. But years later her parents got pregnant and that is where her life changed. For the worst.
I liked this book. It was for fetched how Lane was treated by her parents but their treatment had to be over the top for her to leave. This is book 3 and finale book in this series. There are not any characters from book 1 or 2 in this book so it can be read as a standalone. I

This is a really splendid, entertaining bear shifter romance which caught my attention & kept it until the very end. The plot is well-written and filled with some unexpected situations. The characters are well-developed with individual personalities & display realistic & believable emotional feelings & moods suited to the situations they find themselves in.
It is about: a young woman (Lane) who decides enough is enough & leaves home only to be captured by sex traffickers, she is rescued by three bear shifters (Bruno, Clay & Mike) & from here the story begins.
There is: some twists & turns, intrigue, drama, family issues, abuse, threats, conflict, violence, confrontations, manipulations, attractions, confusion, happiness, some steamy scenes & a wonderful happy ending.

As time passes feelings and imprinting happens But danger is still out their lurking for all four. Who gets the omgea? Will they get a HEA?

So good. This book is part of Hells Bears MC series. That being said it is the first one I have read, and I promise I will be going back to read the rest. I loved this book. It is a reverse harem, and Lane is the female omega. Rescued by Bruno, Mike, and Clay from a horrible fate after running away, she has finally found the purpose for her life. Everything is explained to her which is great as the reader because you get a better understanding of the packs and the working of them and the reasons things are the way they are. The writing was fantastic, easy to follow, exciting, emotional, and I love the character. Great HEA

Intriguing, well-developed storyline with strong realistic characters. When Bruno and his pack mates rebel against the choices of their alpha, they decided to leave. Little do that know that this will change their lives! Lane has been raised by humans but when they turn against her, she has no other option than to run. When Bruno and his brothers, rescue Lane from sex traffickers, she finally feels a part of something real, but when danger threatens, can her new pack mates save her in time? I enjoyed this story and recommend it to shifter lovers everywhere.

Unwanted and clueless

While Lane may be an in non-typical girl being raise unwanted by adopted parents with their biological daughter she is a typical shifter, that is a bear shifter,an omega in fact. When she finally meets some Hells Bears biker men they all treat her as a wanted individual. They even tell her what and who she is. Making a family is hard work but rewarding, but something always comes between Lane and happiness. When an old Alpha gets to steal.her. What does her pack do? Well read to find out!

The Hidden Omega

This was an okay book. It was interesting at parts. I thought the storyline had good merit and promise. However, what really brought down this book for me was all the editing, grammar, and mistakes throughout the book. I had to reread a few parts in the book because the wrong characters name had been put in or it didn’t explain things enough. I also found a lot of editing and punctuation mistakes. This book had a lot of promise but with all the mistakes in editing I would give this a 3.6

Not bad

Hmmm I'm not going to say I didn't like this book, it was alright the writing was fine although I think there may have been some name mix up in the beginning but if your expecting something faster paced due to the fact its only 175 pages you'll be disappointed. I did assume it was going to be faster pasted then it was and even though it was eventful it still read really slow for me. Also after the long awaited heat I was hoping it would be a little more detailed when it came to "those scenes". Everything else was so detailed but that's personal preference as well.

a startling truths

The Hidden Omega is book three in the series Hells Bears MC by author J.L. Wilder. This is one wild tale of finding out exactly who you are and where you belong. A good book is entertaining but a better book takes you in a journey- that’s what The Hidden Omega does it takes you on a journey- it messes with your emotions and your sense of right and wrong. This book does all that and more!!
Enjoy!!

Interesting and entertaining read

Definitely not your typical PNR!!! This fast fast-paced read was filled with plenty of intrigue, drama, and of course steamy romance. Give you a total different perspective on being a omega and also taking the leadership roll as Alpha. Overall a enjoyable and entertaining read.

Very good paranormal bear shifter romance. This book contains intrigue, suspense and ménage romance. The blurb gives a small taste of what the story is about. There is a struggle within the bear pack. The characters are well developed as is the storyline. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by this author.

Its ok

Fun read but the editing gets frustrating. Names change random!my like they just weren't caught. Greg turns into Gary. Mike is a main character, but right at the beginning she calls someone else Mike and has a scene that later is evident REAL MIKE wasn't there for. It's decent, just needs !it's editing.

This is one so good and I could not get enough of them. Shes always wondered if there was more to her and wanted a place to belong and now she has that after being rescued by Bruno, Clay and Mike.

Bear's Oh My

This is the second Omega story and I found it interesting. The storyline was good plus the characters were really good. I felt sorry for Lane with the adopted parents she was stuck with and not knowing she was a bear. The guys were great.
