Noah Harris is a 28-year-old bisexual man currently single and living in a small apartment in New York.
Being a natural introvert with significant extrovert tendencies he expresses himself through the world of writing MM books, often with a darker, paranormal twist. His books are written from the heart of his deep, sensitive and mysterious, but playful and creative, wild spirit.
Noah is dedicated to giving something back to the universe, sharing generously in his successes and inspiring and motivating others through his writing and in any other way he can. He believes in living a natural, healthy lifestyle and has embraced meditation as a way of clearing the 'noise' in his head and allowing his dark creativity to shine through in his books.
He is determined to reach out to as many readers, who he considers his 'friends', as he can through his unique personal touch and through building like-minded communities online. It is this personal touch, with his readers, that sets him apart from most other authors today.
This was recommended to me and I wasn't disappointed. The two MC were perfect for each other and their relationship, although insta-love-kind of, there was a small delay which I thought was right for their situation. I loved Jesse's hidden strength and Elias' caring nature. Will be trying more from this author
Jesse’s one of three sons to pack leader Erik, who turned out to be an omega. Jesse knew his whole life that his father would use him as a pawn for the betterment of their pack. When his father arranged a marriage between Maria Montaigo and him, he was not thrilled about it, but obeyed his father. His intended, Maria Montaigo had shown a sweet side of her for a very brief time before the wedding, but after the dark coldness in her eyes raised the hairs on the back of Jesse’s neck.
The woman took every opportunity to demean and demand the young omega of what she wanted. She hated the marriage even though she dragged her husband everywhere for public opinions, she really didn’t want him around.
Maria became the Alpha/heir after her older brother, Elias, denounced his position and let his sister take those reins. Elias and his father, Cedric, infuriated each other and with his father’s strictness and Elias’s flippancy made their relationship more than estranged. And whoever was the heir to the Montaigo family also knew they would probably be married off in an arranged marriage for the connivance as some point; a horrible way to get married.
Elias was known as running away and traveling to do as he wanted, but comes into the picture the day of the wedding. Then he meets Jesse. Talking with one another for a period of time didn’t prepared either for an attraction to make itself known. Elias was prepared to go to the wedding and then head out again on his merry way. But Elias found he needed to keep away from the handsome omega, even though he pitied the poor guy for having to marry his sister. Though later Cedric Montaigo didn’t trust Jesse and asked Elias to spend time with the quiet omega to find out if there were any interior motives.
As far as Jesse was concern, he did everything his father asked of him by marrying and living with this cruel Maria woman. He worked at keeping an upbeat attitude which drove his wife crazy.
There wasn’t a moment I wasn’t engaged with the story. There’s the calculating bitch wife; Elias who’s changing due to Jesse as they grew closer together and accidents happening to Jesse that could have killed him. Jesse’s favorite brother James comes to his brother’s side after one of these accidents that almost killed him and put his father into a coma.
James and Elias worked together in finding out who was responsible which results in the two men becoming friends for the sake of Jesse. A pack was blamed because of the number of them coming into the city. But was it that pack? Or was it someone else trying to gain access to topple the Montaigo Pack and take control?
When the chips were down, Jesse surprises me with spunk I didn’t know the omega had in him; seeing as an omega’s suppose to be docile. Everything in the book kept me wanting more for Jesse and Elias and to find out who was behind all the serious accidents.
Noah Harris didn’t let me down with a great ending and he delightfully wrote another outstanding book – don’t miss out on reading it! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Summary: What could be better than a hot alpha and an omega. Well the answer could be a feisty Omega! Jesse has always done what was expected of him to help his pack even if that meant hiding who he truly was. Years ago Ellias decided that being alpha leaving it to his twin sister, but he never walked away from his responsibilities. Now Ellias has returned to see the celebration of his sister’s wedding to a neighboring pack omega, Jesse. When the two meet they experience feelings for each they never expected. Jesse ‘s determination to make his marriage a success is at odds with what he feels for Ellias. That is until the day that changes everything.
This was an incredible story about love at first sight and all the complications that life can throw at you. I was so fun to see Jesse break out of his shell and the only one who wasn’t surprised was Ellias who knew that was more to him than he showed the world. It was sad how Ellias’s pack, including his sister, knew nothing about his efforts to keep them safe to the point that they looked down on him. I enjoyed every moment as their lives unfolded and hope that this isn’t the end of their story.
My husband calls meV Bunny cuz he says I sound like Bugs Bunny wh I laugh, not related to this book
I'm never disappointed by any book I've read by Noah Harris and this one is no exception. In an odd way it reminded me of my wedding to my husband Matthew without all the back stabbing of an alpha but the disapproval of our parents. Noah's stories with their supernatural shifter bend always seem to end with the characters you come to love the most getting their HEA but not without some nail biting drama and villains that are much darker than you suspect. The love and sex scenes are not used just to fill a word count like so many other authors seen to do, but really are, in my humble opinion, truly very romantic. Noah either does a lot of background research for each book or he has personal experience that defies his age. I personally believe that it's a blend of both but then I've never had the pleasure of meeting Noah in person. I'm at least twice Noah's age and yet I feel like his stories are speaking, in part, to my own personal experiences both the good and bad. I'm still torn between all of Noah's books to say this is his best work and I think that it's because every story is always Noah's best. I must admit I do like the series of books that carry on past the first book and into the 2bs, 3rd... you get the idea. I can't say that I hate any of Noah's stand-alone books, I just get so invested in the characters that I want to read more about their desires, hopes and dreams and a world where two men are accepted just as they are and not the way the world believes they should be. Thank you Noah for continuing to write stories from your heart and expand people's horizons beyond what is usually considered the norm because in truth everyone is different and there really is no "norm".
I read about a third of the book and couldn't go any further. Personally (and it truly is a matter of personal likes and dislikes), I wasn't able to connect with the characters. It seemed like there wasn't anything that could affect them even though they had terrible parents and had horrible lives. At some point, I figure it's normal to have emotions and it's normal to think that your life sucks when it really, really blows.
Maybe if I continued reading, I would have seen some of those emotions finally bursting out. I don't know. What I do know, is that it just didn't click for me. Especially when I felt like Jesse and Elias were being snob about the snobs in their lives (and maybe they were right, but maybe they could have tried to shake things up so that they could have changed their lives).
The writing was really good though and the world building was very interesting. For a shifter story, the writer truly took the time to think about how to create this universe. I might give this story another go eventually but, for now, I'll simply leave it alone.
Through patriarchal machinations omega Jesse is forced into joining with the quintessential "Bridezilla" Maria as a political move between the city and country shifter packs. Jesse was without hope and so he goes through with his duty to this diplomatic farce of a wedding. If only he'd met Maria's twin Elias first. Now Elias was his pack's black sheep since he refused to inherit the alpha position from his father since his views on ruling any group of people the way his father did was stupidity to its highest degree. So he had walked away with no regrets. That is until he attends the wedding, lays eyes on Jesse, and plots subterfuge. Politics, mysterious family goings-on, treachery, and traitors are interwoven in a complex but entertaining story. For the ARC I received I'm giving on honest and voluntary review.
A great story with loads going on. Jesse is an omega in his wolf pack and is married off to a female cat shifter Alpha Maria in another pack to secure an alliance. Maria is a total bitch all the way through and is only interested in her image and maximising her position. Her twin brother Elias is the opposite and lives to create havoc and carve his own path. Jesse's brother James is like a father to him and is kind and caring as well as loud and boisterous. Jesse was a complex and many layered character and it was great to see all his different sides. Throw in some old feuds, two father who are both cold and critical Alphas and an ongoing power struggle and there is lots of action, friendship and romance. Everyone gets their just desserts whether good or bad!

Wow! This story has it all, clever writing, likeable characters with depth, steamy passion, and intrigue. Jesse is an omega who does what is expected of him, tries to see the best in others, is kind and gentle, but also has a bit of sass. Elias follows his own rules for the most part and has an unexpected depth to him. With both of these men there is more than meets the eye. There is an instant attraction they cannot act on that becomes a great friendship with genuine caring and eventually a deep and passionate love. For them to earn their much deserved HEA they have to get through mishaps, nasty people, mysterious plots, shocking surprises, and danger. I really enjoyed this story and definitely recommend it.

That sharp asp tounged Maria and her vile nature made her the perfect viper to avoid at all costs- poor Jesse!! The conversation between Elias and Jesse at the art gallery cracked my heart wide open! Jesse was a selfless sacrificial lamb for his dad and pack. I'm gutted and crying. Thanks! His brother was his only supporter and salvation until Elias!! Tears, laughs, heat, action packed intrigue, and betrayals lead to a hard won hea ending. My favorite line " You are the world, mine anyway!" Dead. No words!! It was empowering and uplifting to see Jesse stand up for himself and his alpha to Erik! Total triumph!!

To seal an alliance between their two packs Omega Jesse marries Alpha Maria but when he meets her elder twin brother Elias he finds himself deeply attracted. As the marriage progresses Jesse and Elias spend time together as friend the as Jesse was walking with his alpha older brother James a load of scaffolding falls off the side Elias's for dinner but leaves early only to enter the apartment to find Maria in bed with a stranger.

Marrying the Wrong Twin by Noah Harris is an entertaining shifter mpreg romance where an omega is married off to the wrong twin and falls in love with his wife's brother instead. This story was interesting and thrilling.. a taste of danger and suspense, a little drama and a lot of steam. Oh and a few laughs too... I truly enjoyed this book. good writing, great characters and a fun story.

A really good read that has everything, wonderful characters I could relate to, action, humour, heat and a great HEA. Jesse’s marriage to Maria has been arranged by his father to bring his own country wolf pack closer to their city cousins big cat pack. But at the wedding reception he meets Elias, Maria’s twin brother. And so starts the road to love. Their journey is fraught with treachery and betrayal along the way and at several points it looks like Jesse might not survive.

Noah Harris is such a great storyteller. Here we meet Jessie an Omega on his wedding day. Jessie goes to the bar for a much needed drink. Only to meet his future brother-in-law Elias. It is instant chemistry and they fast become friends. After being married for a few weeks Jessie discovers he really is married to an Alpha bitch. The storyline gets intriguing and suspenseful. This was a great story and a must read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. ⚘⚘⚘
Another great book by Noah Harris. This is a very different shifter story. You have an omega marrying the female twin, suspicions accidents, love between the omega and the male twin and many other plot twists. I love this genre and it is so great to see the books becoming more interesting and varied. Noah’s writing just keeps improving. Can’t wait to read what happens next.

I love how Noah Harris writes! Even though he writes about fantasy worlds he puts so much thought into making you understand what the characters are feeling! Elias and Jesse are so great together! I love how Jesse seems like he lets people walk all over him but in reality he has a very strong backbone.My only disappoints was the baby not being born at the end! I can’t wait to read the next one!
This book had it all...a great storyline that kept me engrossed, wonderful characters with their own personalities that had depth and were very likeable, great chemistry and passion that could be felt throughout the book. Jesse and Elias were an amazing couple, and I truly felt for Jesse because Maria wasnt a catch at all. But Jesse surprised me at times which I loved as well. This was a great read.

Meh... 2.5 stars An okay start as omega Jessie gets married to a Maria an alpha from the next district. Jessie marriage wasn't a happy one since that had been arranged by their father's. I didn't really didn't connect with them. Told with both POVs. Scenes got to a vital point and then skips past it which annoyed me. I got to the halfway point and discovered there's cheating included not my thing but I skimmed through to the ending. Meh....
Jesse is trying hard to be a "proper Omega" and please his father, his pack, the alliance, his wife, and his new pack. Maria is a living nightmare. Elias is the black sheep, but Jesse feels drawn to him. A great read. I feel terrible for Jesse's situation, but all the clues are there. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
A very sweet and romantic story centered around a taboo topic. The taboo topic was broached from the standpoint of necessity not just to have a taboo storyline. The characters took you on a journey that was pleasant caring and consistent with their backstory. Social norms for this universe were adhered to yet broken down to create a more interesting story arc.
Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful, this was absolutely the best! Definitely a must read, there is so much excitement, twists and turns, mysteries, lies, lives ruined, but a most beautiful love story ever. So many thanks, Honey Bee😍🥰🔥📚🎭🐝🎶
The intrigue was great but the rest of the story seemed a bit simplistic for me - I’m not sure I understand why Jesse and Elias do what they did most of the time. Also I’m not sure about the cheating angle even with how horrible Maria is.
My first book about shifters/werewolves and I DON’T LIKE IT. It’s just fucking weird. Vampires, I can get into it but damn, werewolves, packs, alpha, omega? Ughk!!
I liked this story. It's not what I thought how the book would go. Had some good sexy times. Not angsty. The narrator is not my favorite. His main voice is good but all of the other character voices are not the best.
