In exchange for the money needed to support his family, Omega Bryan Turner has no choice but to sign a mating contract to the minister of his small town, the powerful and horrible Alpha Josef Zamgarg. But Bryan has yet to fulfill his end of the bargain. He just can’t seem to get pregnant.
With time running out and his family's welfare on the line, Bryan desperately seeks out a tribe of feared barbarian shifters whose magic may be able to grant his desires… But when he encounters Gan, Nugai and Munok, the three Alpha shamans of the pagan tribe, Bryan learns they’ve been waiting for him…

Spoilers and content warnings below.....
I enjoyed this one more than I did book 1, but it was still very hard to stomach and definitely isn’t for everyone... there is a lot of rape, or “duty” as it’s called in ABO stories... not by our hero’s but it does continue after the relationship begins. This “duty” doesn’t just happen in the background it happens on page and in great detail, his alpha also shared him with a neighboring alpha, which is also described in great detail... again not for everyone.
Anyways.. This author is pretty good with her plots and world building, but so far the emotion put into the relationships has been lacking/non existent... in book one it made some sense, but this one felt like their should have been more love and emotions involved... but there wasn’t.
On a end note it was still a short little read that was perfect for killing time.

Good world building. Good plot. I couldn't help feeling the story was incomplete tho. Left me wanting more. But I enjoyed it a lot.

How can this be the same author?
Book one was really good. Fast paced. It grabbed the reader and wouldn't let go.
This one slogs along. The dialogue is painfully stilted. Painfully. The whole story drags and the scenes that are so scandalous in the first book are just weird in this one. I've read book three, which is far better aligned with book 1, and the problems from this book are largely absent in that one.
I can't recommend this one.

I gotta say, I am loving this series. The multiple mates is a nice change surprisingly and the lovely covers are stuff of dreams! I wish there was more to each story because at the end, I am not ready to say goodbye to them. Well developed, lots of angst and romance. Well done on all three books.
August 10, 2020
It was better than the 1st book, so Imma give it a 3 stars. I loved the magic concept & lore of this book, but I still had a problem with getting to know the MC's alphas. The shamans/priest & stuff was so interesting, I would have loved seeing more of it.

The story flowed better in this book than the first, but that's where the good stops. The characters were ine dimensional with no descriptive characterizations. Worst of all... The book just ends. No warning, no real lead up... just ends.

Este lo leí, ya que el tercero me gustó mucho y no tenía nada que ver con el primero.
Este mantiene la premisa del primero, aunque mejora un poco.
Me ha faltado que los Alfas hubieran apoyado un poco más a su Omega, aunque en parte comprendo que él era el que tenía que decidir cambiar su vida.

Second book in this series. Storyline and characters captivated me and enjoyed hiw the author developed and concluded the book. Worth the read.

I don’t know why I read the second one since I wasn’t really impressed with the first one. Again not a ton of spice. I don’t think I’ll be continuing.

Bryan is in a contract mate bond with the priest, Josef, of the town. Once he gets pregnant, his father and brother can be cared for - his mother does not show much maternal instinct. Not pregnant after the more than religious buggering from the priest, he seeks help and realises he can’t have children.
Out of desperation, he goes into the woods of the ‘magical beasts’ and chases a scent calling to him and meets 3 gorgeous alphas, Gan - the leader, Nugai and Munok - the priests, who break his mate bond with Josef, mate with him and cure him (a three for one deal). He doesn’t completely believe them, because magic! Also their primitive living conditions make it difficult to believe they can protect him and his family when things get worse.
Things get worse when sleep deprivation - all that buggering in the morning to nightly mate bond sex games with 3 alphas - finally gets Bryan to tell Josef to go fly a kite in colourful language. Josef threatens to ruin him for life that he can’t get work and save his family. Bryan runs home hoping to test waters with the truth to his folks, his dad is dazed and his mom is just in super denial mode. That’s when *drum roll* Josef lands up to inform him he’s pregnant.
Bryan manages to stay in his room locked away from Josef till night when he runs to the forest and his mates. Their magic lets them know Bryan is pregnant and they pamper him and care for him. After hiding away for a few days, Bryan decides he needs to fight his own battles and starts with his folks. Who have been informed by Josef that Bryan was missing. Bryan finally shares the truth about life with a priest. Dad is furious he let his son down, but mom is sure Bryan needs his head examined. Bryan then confronts Josef, tells him baby is not his and gets pummelled by the alpha priest. Josef seems to lose a few marbles in the process and goes to exact his revenge on someone else he suspects is sleeping with Bryan. Bryan finally releases months of rage and burns the house to the ground.
His mom finally believes him after seeing the bruises, and tries to protect him from Josef when he returns enraged. Josef is arrested and Bryan goes to his folks home. Wanting to get his father cured he gets his mates permission to do the healing. Bryan’s father survives and Gan’s people are embraced by Bryan’s people.
Come for THE GOOD: Sequel to Broken Crown, the political intrigue in a way continues as does the world building. The areas this time round are different from the previous book, but no less magnificent. The characters are fleshed out more, Bryan’s angst is palpable. The sex between the MCs is phenomenal as before.
Suspend belief over THE BAD: The magic does at times feel convenient - the pregnancy and Bryan’s father being healed- but ignore those to enjoy the story. These MCs are a lot better than the previous cold fish MCs - you get angst, anger though not much from Gan and Nugai. This could be because the story is told mostly from Bryan’s viewpoint, so we miss a lot of character building and connecting between all the MCs. There is a lot of jumping and skipping over parts where the relationship grows and Bryan believes they can’t help his family.
Hope for all lost in THE UGLY: This dark romance comes with a lot of warnings and it is heartbreaking to read some of it. Raped and used as a sex toy, Bryan has been really put through the wringer, with even his mom not being a safe space for him. A lot of jumping over or brushing over of passage of time happens in this story, unfortunately not during the rape scenes. Explaining the rape and his mates to his folks is just one para - it leaves out reactions, questions, interactions. We get it after the para but it feels like you’re cheated of witnessing something groundbreaking. Even connecting with his mates, Bryan’s interactions are down to sex and why Munok is gruff. Gan is a lovely character and needed to come off the page more. Nugai needed more to him as well to establish his role in the relationship. The ending of this story really killed me. It was neither here nor there. That felt a little unfair.

What can I say? It was a good time
Look these books are FUN. Flat out. They are action-packed, they're smutty (like again the amount of smut that is packed into the stories is astounding) and there are some great characters in here. Brian being the main character has the most character development going from I have no choice and my life has little meaning to I have all the choices and so much meaning. It was nice to see because the beginning of this book is pretty dark and just the teensiest bit hard to read at times. Definitely go in this one with little bit of caution. As for his Alphas, they've very... I don't wanna say swoon because that's not the right word but I'm gonna say swoon because I have problems. Don't expect any I love you to be exchanged but I could see the romance so my need was fed.
Yeah there's not a whole lot to unpack here without giving away spoilers. It's a simple plot that if I say much a lot will be given away. You might want to go into it not knowing a whole lot because since it is so short and so simple you kind of just want to enjoy it as it happens if that make sense. I will say that this book is dark, dare I say darker than the first one, but there is a romance. And a good one at that. Is this book going to win a Pulitzer? No but ain't nobody out here acting like it's Citizen Kane or some sh*t. It's well written, fun (but dark) omegaverse smut. The story is great, the characters are good, I'm happy. Solid 4 stars.

An enthralling & splendid MMM alpha/omega romance with some dark undertones & a very enjoyable read. It has a well-paced story-line & plot fill with unexpected events. The individual characters are unique with complex personalities & some of them exhibit devious tendencies combined with determination to achieve their goals & react with believable & realistic emotional feelings to the situations they find themselves in.
There is: a despicable town Minister(Josef Zamgary) of New Pixia, a male omega (Bryan Turner) with little or no choices trying to get pregnant, the three male alpha barbarians/shamans (Gan, Munok & Nugai) that claim him for their own, wolf shifters, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, magic, fated mates, some action, threats, some violence, some non-consensual scenes, manipulations, despondency, unhappiness, abuse, dreams/premonitions, devastating news, desperation, severed bonds, possessiveness, affection, perplexity, choices, memories, revenge, bonding, steamy scenes & a well-deserved happy conclusion. I would recommend this Mpreg reverse harem to people who enjoy reading this genre.

I received an ARC edition of this book from the author.
Although I thought the story was well written, it was not really my cup of tea. Bryan is trapped in an abusive relationship in order to try to financially support his family. When he finds out he can't get pregnant, a condition of the mating contract, he gets desperate enough to go to the barbarians his people fear in the slim chance their magic could grant him a baby. I could see why Bryan was trapped with Josef, and I could see at first why he was going back to Josef. But the deeper he got with Gan, Nugai and Munok the less I liked him going back to Josef. It left a bit of a bad taste for me that I couldn't quite get past in the story.

4 stars. I think the first book had a lot more emotion but I enjoyed this one more overall. The plot was interesting and intricate, I love the world building of this series and Bryan was a great character. He was so headstrong and determined. I loved his dedication and love for his family, particularly his younger brother, Lukas and his father. It was great. He gets himself out of a horrible situation with a terrible mate and finds true happiness with three Alphas; Nugai, Gan and Munok. All four of them together was great and made for some really steamy moments but it was more than that. They had a great connection. The ending was great and left me wanting more and I cannot wait to get to the next book.

Intense! Bryan got his groove back! I really liked Bryan. I respected his choice to try to help his family and I felt his respect for his dad, his love for his brother and his dedication to 'family'. It was painful reading how the Ministers treated him. Ms. Moon created an intense environment for these paranormals. You just immediately pull for the underdogs. Sadly, Bryan was not at all strategic. Great story. Gan, Munok and Nugai were good strong Shaman. I would have liked more background on Bryan's parent and how they got to where they are. Intersting story. I received this story as an ARC for review.

This was the second book in a dark, omegaverse setting. Bryan, the omega, agrees to an abusive mating with a wealthy alpha in order to support his family. Fate, however, has a different plan for him, and he ends up not only discovering his true mates, but an inner strength within himself. This is not a happy, fluffy book, and it explores some dark issues involving dubcon, violence, and infidelity. I read this book specifically for the darker elements and I loved it, but this book is definitely not for everyone.
Overall Rating: 3 Stars. The writing and storyline was decent. I enjoyed reading this book.

Ravaged Bond by Ashe Moon is the second book in the War-Torn Omegas series. There are some dark themes at play here, graphic s*xual scenes and some violence. The story drew me in right away though and kept me needing to keep reading. The characters were interesting... I hated some supporting characters and wanted to see them get their justice served. Bryan and his Alphas were hot! Definitely satisfying read.
I received an advanced reader's copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review and recommendation.

Wow, this book was intense! I loved the flow of the characters and this world that Ashe Moon has created. It is very different from her other series, but I enjoyed it immensely. Omega Bryan is forced into a mating to help support his family even though he hates it, but the other issue is that he can't seem to get pregnant. Having dreams of a tribe of shifters in the woods whom he meets and changes everything. This story was well written and if you enjoy darker mpreg stories, this one is a good one for you!
August 28, 2019
The world building that Ashe Moon has done in this series is amazing. It just pulls me in and immerse me into this world. Then we have the characters that I just absolutely love. Bryan's story had me at my heart and I didn't want to let go. I can't wait to see what Ashe Moon does next in this series.
August 29, 2019
Excellent!
The first book was hard to assimilate for me but turned out to be a great story.
This one, however was easy to read and I loved the way it played out. If you enjoy Omega reverse harem stories, you'll love this one. As these four men reach out and grasp their destiny, changing the future for everyone around them!

Ashe Moon has written another fantastic, grab-you-by-the-feels, definitely different, totally awesome, amazing, fascinating, and uniquely unexpected twist on the standard shifter storyline. It had me hooked from beginning to end, and I can't wait to see what happens next.
August 27, 2019
i really enjoyed this book the way the omega used his strength to overcome the life that was chosen for him I can't wait for the next book to see what happens next. I read this book to give a free review for this author,,,,LOVED IT
