Alpha Gaven Freel was taught by his doting beta parents to protect and respect omegas, and he sees those parents as shining examples of how to love his future mate. Except he’s only nineteen and still a university student, so Gaven has plenty of time to find his omega bondmate—but fate has other plans, and he scents his omega from across a crowded waiting room. Too bad his bondmate is the son of his parents’ oldest enemy.


At twenty-two, omega Frey Porter has already gone through multiple heats without an alpha. He’s desperate to find a mate, but his sire Monte Porter won’t settle for just any alpha for his only omega son. Frey will one day access a sizable trust fund—no gold diggers allowed into the wealthy Porter family. When Frey insists younger alpha Gaven Freel is his bondmate, Monte is skeptical about the pairing. And Gaven’s parents are skeptical right back, worried Monte might use the situation to punish Gaven for decades-old hurts.


Monte surprises everyone by negotiating a fair financial agreement that limits Gaven’s access to Frey’s trust fund and by allowing them to mate. Gaven has no interest in money, only in being the best alpha possible to Frey, and with Frey’s next heat months away, they have plenty of time to date and get to know each other. Frey is intimidated by Gaven’s huge extended family, but he also adores their camaraderie and genuine love for each other. Frey wants his future to be with the Freels.


Gaven is busy making plans for their life together when the unthinkable happens—Monte serves Gaven with papers dissolving the mating agreement. Papers Frey signed, too, and stands by. Devastated by losing his bondmate, Gaven sinks into a deep depression even his best friends can’t get him out of. But Frey also has a terrible, life-altering secret he’s keeping from Gaven, and he’ll have to learn to trust in the strength of the mating bond in order to save them both from darkness.



SAVE ME is the first book in the brand-new “Finding Free” omegaverse series, which is a spin-off of the fan-favorite “Breaking Free” series. This is an original universe featuring mpreg, A/B/O dynamics, heats, knotting and an alpha-dominated society that is starting to see advances in omega rights. Content warnings for dark themes apply. See interior blurb for additional warning.

An Omegaverse Story.

Well, it just seemed a bit juvenile and hokey at times. All I All, it was just okay. Nothing great and at times very confusing with every character always mentioned and getting together that I felt I need ancestry.com to keep track of everyone lol.

After having read the Breaking Free series, I'm quite familiar with all of the family and friend structures, as well as their backstories. Now, the children are grown and beginning to experience their own lives. Gaven Freel, and alpha, is planning to follow in his father's footsteps and become a nurse. At a ceremony, he is surprised to scent his mate, Frey Porter. Frey's sire, Monte, had a huge falling out with Freels many years before. Despite hard family feelings, these two proceed with their plans to formalize their mating unaware that large obstacles loom. This book is well-written, balanced, exciting, and passionate. If you haven't read the previous series, the enjoyment may be lessened, but for me, it's five stars all the way.

The interior blurb refers to rape and old wounds. There is also some other stuff, but I don't want to give anything away, so just be careful. If you've read the Breaking Free series, be ready. Has some of the same dark tones. And if you haven't read the series, I STRONGLY recommend you do so first or you will be REALLY lost.
Oh my gah. To A.M. Arthur, first and foremost, thank you, thank you. When I read the end of the Breaking Free series, I was so sad. Cried even. I grew with these characters. Watched them change, have babies, heal wounds and learn to trust again. Find their mates and find their purpose in life. Knowing that was going to be over broke me. But when I found out about this series, I was delighted. Ecstatic. I wasn't sure how everyone would play into it, but hell, I was going to be happy with just one book if that's all I got. As long as I got to see all these guys again. But, 15-20 years have past. Somewhere in there. And all the babies are pretty much grown and leading lives of their own. Or starting to. There have been some changes to the old crew that sadden me, but you'll have to read to find out. They're all still there right now but things are changing after so many years.
This story is about Gaven, Serge and Dex's son. He's a college boy. Just finished his first year. The kids all still hang together. It's in different ways now that things are changing, but they are all still family and friends and hang out often. He's at odds with his BFF Rei, Braun and Tarek's son, but over something stupid. An Omega. When Gaven has to go to an event for clinics opening under his namesakes name, he's just talking and socializing until he smells the most delicious smell ever. His bondmate. The problem is who it is. Frey Porter. Not that there's anything wrong with Frey, but if you read the Breaking Free series, you will remember his sire Monte, was a bit of a dick and tried to hurt Serge. But Dex and Serge are willing to let it all drop for Gaven's happiness, if Monte will. Monte agrees to the bondmate with stipulations but they aren't bad. Frey and Gaven get to know each other more, until one weekend when Gaven and the rest of the 'kids' take a camping trip. And something happens to Frey. When Monte finds out, he swears he will get justice for his son. Because of how it has made Frey feel, he makes Monte fill out paperwork breaking off the bond with Gaven and everything with it. Gaven is destroyed and doesn't understand why. He tries over and over to find out why but no one will tell him anything. Until Rei is hospitalized for an injury. Gaven sends Frey one last message telling him of Rei and then it's over for Gaven. But Frey turns up, Monte has been shot, the secret has been found out by a gossip rag, and now Frey is kidnapped. Gaven just got Frey back for just a minute, will he lose him again? Forever this time? And how will he survive?
A.M. Arthur, you are killing me!!!! It's Breaking Free all over again lol. Well, you know what I mean. I'm so excited because all my guys are back, but sad because of events that have happened and are happening. With Frey, I was so happy for that boy. Having remembered what Monte was like to begin with, with his mate being gone, it's been hell. The two older boys are gone and Frey and his two younger brothers sometimes fear for themselves. Monte hasn't been physical with them….yet. But he can be verbal and cutting. Frey tries to be sympathetic because of Omegin's death, but sometimes it's just too much. Especially since he looks just like Omegin and Monte snarls at him often because of the reminder. So getting to be out from under his sire alone was a happy moment for him, but because of his age, he was afraid he'd never find his mate. Normally guys his age are mated by now. So meeting Gaven and knowing, was just the best thing ever for him.
For Gaven, being only nineteen and in school, he shouldn't be looking for a mate but the alpha in him wants someone to settle with. And following in Serge's footsteps, he knows he will work long hours but he will be able to support an Omega and his children. After crushing on some other Omega with Rei, that caused their rift, he was happy to find his bondmate. His true bondmate. But with all that happened and happens in this relationship, it takes its toll. And they both have a long road back. They both have to learn to trust and forgive and believe in each other. It will take time and patience but hopefully, it will all work out. You'll have to read to find out.
And it's worth every page. I can't wait to see who is next. There is a lot going on in this book so it could be anybody.

3.5 Stars

Spoiler-Free Review, so I'm avoiding major plot points.

Save Me is the first in the spin-off series, Finding Free. Do I believe it possible to read as the first in a series? Yes and no. Yes, if you're able to just roll with it when tons of information from the past series is brought up. No, because there are many passages with dozens of names being dropped, even confusing me, who read every book, most recently.

After reading the entire Breaking Free series, I was more than curious to read more about their children's struggles, loves, and lives, while getting small bits of information on past characters I enjoyed.

My largest issue, where I had to just roll with it, is how a ton of information is dropped out of nowhere. The story would be flowing, then the narrator would go off on the past and current lives of a dozen of his nearest and dearest.

I could understand if Gaven was speaking with a specific person, and the author added in conversation how this was so and so's son to jar our memories. But half of a very large cast, their pasts and current times were explained (both what was in their books and what we missed with the time-jump), along with how their sons/cousins/nephews/best friends were connected to Gaven. It tore me out of the story, too much information at once, taking away from the entertainment value. This was something that plagued me during the previous series, but it only got worse with this new generation, because there were that many more characters to remember.

While I was curious about past narrators, I assume this series will explore all their children, so it would have been easier to digest and retain if only those on-scene were explained how they were connected to this current narrator. Their time would come in future installments, told by their children.

Gaven is an alpha, raised by betas (Serge & Dax) He's decidedly not alpha in temperament, more beta in his ability to go with the flow and take things as they come. He longs to become a nurse like his father.

Frey is the omega, and it's obvious that he's been treated poorly, possibly abused from the start of his narration. Browbeaten, not thinking he deserves respect or a voice in what happens in his life.

The omega/alpha dynamic is definitely a fated mates situation, which means any and all instances of insta-love are forgiven, since it's a vital part of the world building. However, it's how the fated mates is shown that shifts a pet peeve into engrossing.

In the instance of Gaven and Frey meeting and instantly scenting one another, they're both so sweet and caring. Instant I LOVE HIM. I need to protect him. I want a life with him. While I understand the paranormal level of fated mates, that doesn't mean they shouldn't have rational doubts outside of the unavoidable connection.

In the romance department, there isn't much time where Gaven and Frey have time with one another due to the plot devices. The reader doesn't get to know them, experience their connection, so their connection just feels forced due to the fated mates, not because we watched it organically grow. This also affected my ability to connect to the characters, never truly getting to know them, not when past and upcoming characters were the focus.

While I've enjoyed the characters and the Breaking Free series, and am hopeful to see what happens in the Finding Free series, the same issues from before that drew me from the story were still present. Focusing on too many characters, until it's nothing but chaos for the reader to digest. The plot pushing the characters in a direction, not the characters pushing the plot. The current narrators being overpowered by past/upcoming side characters, so that I don't get to connect with them during their novel.

A Joyfully Jay review.

4.25 stars


Save Me is the first book in A.M. Arthur’s Finding Free series and a direct spin-off of the author’s Breaking Free series. This book picks up 13 years after that series finale, Loved, and will focus on the younger generation who were children in the original series. Being familiar with the Finding Free books will definitely help readers here, as there are a host of characters appearing here whom we met in the original books. That said, if you focus on the main characters and this storyline itself, rather than the assorted side characters, this book can stand alone.

I’ll admit, I wasn’t quite sure how I would feel about this spin off, given I was used to seeing these characters as kids in the last series. But it’s been about a year since I read the last book and I found I had no trouble transitioning to seeing these characters as grown ups with their own relationships. Gaven and Frey are sweet and charming. Their connection to each other is instant and never in question. While Frey’s father isn’t the nicest guy in the world, Frey himself is lovely and I liked seeing him come out of his shell when introduced to Gaven and his extended family. And Gaven is all adorable earnestness and determination to be a good alpha and a caring person. The men are a cute couple and I liked the easy connection they had.

As a way of catching up with characters from the Breaking Free series and their pack of kids, this was enjoyable. As a romance between Gaven and Frey, it was sort of weak. The characters are only together for a few scenes, one being the first time they meet, and then suddenly it's four weeks later and we didn't get to see any of that bonding time on-page before the black moment around the 48% mark. They spend nearly the next third of the book apart, until around 78%. And not only apart, not even speaking or communicating in any way - aside from one-sided texts. Then the final quarter or so felt extremely rushed. We're supposed to believe they're in love, but we don't actually get to see that happen because the month they spent getting to know each other before it all went to hell was only briefly mentioned in like one sentence. Meanwhile, there are several scenes of Gaven hanging out with his friends, hiking, camping. It just felt like the only reason Gaven and Frey were in love was because they're bondmates. So that was kind of disappointing. On the whole, though, I did enjoy the book and revisiting familiar characters. I'll definitely read book 2 when it's released.

This story about broke me but it healed me, too.

Save Me is the first book in a new series, Finding Free, by A.M. Arthur. It's a follow-up series to her Breaking Free omegaverse series. There's a signification time lapse between the two series and this one is all about the offspring of the main characters in the Breaking Free.

While you will probably better understand the world that A.M. has created if you read the Breaking Free books first, I don't think you have to do so if you want to jump in here. She does a good job of including information from the prior series where it's needed.

The blurb for this book is fairly long and detailed so I won't rehash it. I will tell you that this author likes to make her characters work for their HEA and this book had my eyes leaking a lot. But that's good because it's one way I know that the book worked for me, that it got all of my emotions involved.

Not everything is angsty in this book, there are plenty of light hearted moments. Especially among the young adults who have been friends all their lives and have formed familial bonds with each other. Gaven and Frey go through some really tough times and their relationship is really tested when it's only had a short time to actually begin. I really can't say anything else without giving spoilers.

I don't feel like this book has a cliffhanger but there are unresolved issues for some characters that I know we'll learn more about in future books. The main couple, Gaven and Frey, get a very satisfying HFN. I'm looking forward to reading more books in this series.

An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.

3 stars
M/M Omega with male pregnancy, romance
Triggers: Rape, kidnapping, miscarriage
I was given this book for an honest review by Wicked Reads.

This book is a spin off of the Breaking Free series. It is years later and now we're having stories of the children in the previous series.

This is a book about Gavin and Frey. Gavin was raised by amazing betas who love him dearly. He knows that alphas are supposed to love and protect his mate. But, Gavin is also very aware that his family is a lot to handle. There are a lot of them that grew up together and when you add in the friends, it's a large group.

Frey has lived a sheltered life. He is the protector to his two younger brothers. When his Omegin passes away, his alpha father is less than affectionate and a lot surly. His father also is very old school in his belief that omegas are there to satisfy their alphas.

While this is supposed to be a love story, it felt that we were missing the couple for most of the book. They meet briefly, come to terms that they are fated for each other and then spend almost the entire book apart. This seemed more like a book about Gavin and his family and friends.

I wished that this was a more comprehensive story. It felt truncated and kind of zigzagged through the story line.

"I received a free copy to read and review for Wicked Reads."

Save Me is the first book in the Finding Free series which is a spin off from the Breaking Free series. Finding Free happens 13 years later and involves all of the kids.

Save Me is Gaven Freel (Serge and Dax's son) and Frey. The omega son of Monte an alpha from Dax and Serge's past.

Gaven and Frey have a chance meeting, scenting each other immediately. They both want to explore the connection but past issues and Frey's side make doing that very difficult.

I loved getting back into this world. I've missed the parent's characters and now getting the kids stories is exciting. I loved this read and can't wait to see where this series goes!!

I liked this spin-off series. We got to see some of the couples from the original series. I loved Gaven and Frey. They are so sweet together. I don't want to spoil the book but I did shed a tear or two reading this one. My heart just hurt. If you read the previous series and enjoyed it you will definitely enjoy this book. I hope the next book is just as good and we get a glimps of Gaven and Frey so we can see what happens next.

3.25 stars. This one surprised me because despite not being into instalove, I actually liked the couple more than I expected to and I was very into the storyline.

The plot is about Gaven, an alpha that has been raised to be respectful of others, including omegas when they aren't well treated by society. He meets his mate, one day, an omega named Frey who's father is an alpha that doesn't get along with his parents. Both feel the connection immediately, but things won't be easy when a terrible event happens and Frey starts doubting of their future.

Starting by things I enjoyed, I thought the couple was adorable. Did everything happen so fast between them due to the instalove element? Yes. Did I still thought they were cute? Absolutely. I think I liked them because they didn't instantly formed a relationship that lasted the entire book, and there were conflicts (that made sense) that affected the pairing.

Another thing I was into was the storyline after that event. There were some hints during the beginning until the bomb dropped, but my mind didn't get the antagonist right. I just really like the thrill of justice being served.

Overall, this was an easy read, which got dark at times but with a satisfying ending ultimately. The couple being so devoted to each other was endearing, especially Daniel not giving up, it's what make me believe they worked right.

Fantastic family and group of friends. The author, did an excellent job setting the stage for this group of friends and family.This first story in the series, set a very strong stage. This is not your standard sweet romance. There are some strong issues, misunderstandings and miscommunications. Gaven, alpha is finishing his first year of college. He wants to be a Nurse, like his Da, Serge. For awhile, he and his bf, Rei were stubbornly fighting, although they forgot what started it. Rei, was his go to bestie, to work out all questions about life. At the event where urgent care centers were being dedicated, Gaven met his mate. Frey. Frey, is an older omega who tries to embrace traditional omega behavior, but it's not natural to him. Frey's Dad, Monte was a strict traditionalist who insisted on specific courting protocols. There are challenges, questions and miscommunications that make this story, richer. Will Frey and Gaven, make the right choices/decisions? Will Monte accept Gaven mating Frey? Wonderful story! I look forward to reading the stories of all the friends and family. Well done!

Content warning: rape flashbacks, miscarriage, implied incest

This is poorly written and edited. Instead of introducing characters gradually, in a way that fits the story and allows you to learn who they are in a natural manner, the book starts out in an avalanche of names and A/B/O statuses of characters that aren't even present in the scene. In the first 12 pages, there are three characters present, and 16 extra characters (and their respective A/B/O statuses) shoehorned into the conversation. To the author's credit, there is a character and relationship guide at the beginning of the book, but if they were introduced at a reasonable pace, it wouldn't be necessary.

Well, that is, if the author hadn't chosen to pick names that sound so similar for many characters (Mikel and Miko, Jax, Jaxson, Jaysan, Jenson, Karson, Branson, and Brogan). The unusual spelling of names also made it more difficult for me to remember the characters (Aeron, Morgyn, Jaysan, Gaige, Layne, Karson, Jaxson, Eriq, etc.). I'm not arguing about the legitimacy of the names themselves, just that it made it more challenging for me, personally, to remember and keep track of characters.

It also introduces the word "omegin" out of the blue, without making the definition clear. It seems like it means "omega who is a father," but I'm not totally sure. When I first saw it, I reported it as a typo.

EDIT: Turns out this series is a spin-off, which really should have been mentioned in the blurb.

I loved the breaking free series and I was excited to read this first book in the spin off finding free series, but I ended up quitting early on for a very specific reason. After reading about 10 books in the first series, I was ultra invested in the original characters’ stories and happily ever afters. And then bam, in passing in the first couple chapters, this book rewrites those HEAs in some pretty devastating ways. I know that’s life, things happen, no one has everything perfect forever, but it just really ruined the series for me. Maybe if those changes happened on camera during the course of the book I could have handled it, but for them to be mentioned in passing and clearly not the focus of the book, I just couldn’t do it. I’d rather maintain the fantasy.

Save Me

I love the original series that this is a part of but it was an emotional series. Because of that I put off reading this book because I just wasn’t ready to cry. I finally gave in and imagine my surprise when it doesn’t make me cry. This was a really good book and I can’t wait read the next.

4.5 Stars ~ A spin-off series to the author’s ‘Breaking Free’ omegaverse world, this first book in ‘Finding Free’ is filled with reconnecting to beloved characters and seeing how the second generation is faring.

Gaven is the adopted alpha son of betas Serge and Dex whose story was featured in ‘Stronger’. Gaven is now nineteen, just finished his first year of university, and across a room senses his bondmate. Frey is the omega son of Monte Porter whom Serge, Dex, and Tarek had some difficulties with way back when. Monte does not come across well in the initial parts of this story, but he comes from a long line of privileged and conservative alphas. However, it doesn’t take long to see how much he loves his children, all of them regardless of gender.

I never read an Omegaverse book before Am Arthur put out her first called Saved. It sucked me right in and I pretty much devoured the series as they were released.

Well, lucky us, but she has done a time jump for a new series based on the kids of the guys in the first series! Whee! I am going to say you really don't need to read the first series if you want to read this book. I mean, you should, duh, but you don't have to. She really takes the time to explain who everyone is, how they are connected, who their children are, etc, etc. It is A LOT of information and you can just as easily gloss over it and lose nothing. It's like meeting a whole room of people at once. You need a few times before the names truly click.

So, first of up Gaven, adopted son of the betas Dex and Serge. I loved Dex and Serge from the first series. I think because they are beta and didn't have the whole "bondmate" thing. Gaven is happily in college wanting to become a nurse like his father. And then at the opening of a clinic, he scents and meets his bondmate.

Frey is an "older" omega at 22. The way these books hearken back to the traditional gender roles of our parents or grandparents is rather eye opening. Frey is afraid that the 19 year old Gaven will reject him because of his age. But really the issue is Frey's father, old school, old money and lots of rules.

After lots of promises and a few concessions, Frey's sire agrees to let them date.

And it was so sweet. They had to actually date each other- with chaperones! Most of their dates consisted of dinners or brunches at one or the other's house, or a party, but always with a chaperone. (see what I mean about gender roles, etc?)

Frey is super shy but Gaven is always right there to protect him. *swoon* Plus there is like a foot height difference I think, which also makes me swoon.

There is a bit of a secondary story that the author is torturing, I mean teasing us with. Peyton and Layne. Best friends who might be more. But Peyton has a so far incurable blood disease that could disable him at almost any time. I super love them together as well. Even though they are alpha and omega, Layne hasn't had his first heat yet to emit pheromones to attract his bond mate. So they are just a cute, kind of awkward sort of couple right now.

There is actually more than one conflict that Gaven and Frey must deal with. The first I was pretty surprised with, not totally, but I can't say. Because spoilers. The second was almost expected, kind of? But I am glad that it was resolved rather quickly.

The story is wrapped up well, with time taken to finish out plot points (except the tease of Peyton and Layne) without just a "tah dah!" and things are fine and dandy immediately. I hate that. Thought and feelings were put into it all.

So yes, I am completely sucked right back into this world and cannot wait for book 2.

This is sweet, surprising, comforting book. I've picked it to pass my time in some comfort, because most O/A books involves Loves and HEA, I thought It'd be same with this book, but My eyes popped out when Frey admitted to the hospital, and a secret comes out. very devastating.

Beginning of the book was romantically cute and interesting, The position of Omega was sad, not that Frey was ill treated by his family, his father but I can understand how he was feeling, having everything in your life, but not having sense of freedom to do what you actually wanted to do was like a cage of golden.

And Gaven, was super amazing Alpha, he passes every condition Frey's Sire put before him and I love his eagerness, kindness, understanding behavior. Gaven and Frey's love was all Shy like an old Movies of England where everything firstly done in proper way which was admirable too and frustrating too. But I love these restrictions because the love that crosses these restrictions blossom so much and become fun to read.

Though After Frey's accidents, his decision to stay away from Gaven, and their separation, and some more drama gives story interesting view, but I found Frey and Gaven have little scenes to be together as in most of the book they were separated, Only I found this not good but overall the whole book was amazing.

I really hope next book would be about Peyton and Layne because I started to love them too, their sweetness was so endearing.

Such a strong start to this series…
What a treat this book is, the relationship between Frey and Gaven sucked me in and it felt like no time had passed while I was lost in their world. AM Arthur doesn’t make it easy for this couple, which is no surprise to readers already familiar this author, but I still wasn’t prepared for the wringer they’re put through. Gaven’s unwavering love for Frey was heartwrenching at moments but went a long way towards reassuring me that their bond would be strong enough that they could face the gauntlet together. Monte was also an unexpected treat, I went in prepared to dislike him and his old fashioned approach to mating, but his genuine care for Frey won me over and had me wondering if there wasn’t a second chance for his own happiness in the future. And then there’s Peyton. I’m this odd mix of desperate for his story and more than a little afraid of what’s in store for him.
I really enjoyed getting a chance to catch up with the characters I’ve come to love and fans of AM Arthur’s Breaking Free series will love this new spinoff, as bittersweet as some of it was. It should be noted that there is enough background provided to bring readers up to speed with all the changes that occurred during the years that passed between series that I think new readers can comfortably dive in here.

Save Me is the first spinoff book from the Breaking Free series by A.M. Arthur.

Haven Freel, the adopted alpha child of Serge and Dex Freel, is 20 and wants nothing more than to meet his bond mate. At an event he finally meets him. 22-year-old Frey Porter feels he is too old for a mate. With an extremely protective sire, a tragedy and vengeance, can they start and maintain a bond?

Haven honestly seems too good to be true. He is perfect. He is patient, caring and overall understanding. Frey is a classic omega. Taught to obey and serve. I really liked him more towards the end when he was more himself.

I love the fact we got to see more of the kids. I was borderline hoping that the kids would all couple up but it started out with a new omega. I cannot wait for the next books. I am especially looking forward to the twins’ books.

Save Me is about Gaven and Frey. It's so good to see new characters for the children instead of them just getting together with each other. But I would love for a little of that to happen too. As per A.M. Arthur's Omegaverse, their world isn't always a nice place so sensitive readers be aware of the triggers but know the characters do get their HEA, it's just not always in a nice and sweet way.
I love Gaven and Frey's story. I was glad to see Frey's sire to be loving and not a complete ass. I also love the story line of Peyton and Layne. I can't wait to see what happens to them and to Gaven and Frey when they finally mate. So much to look forward to. I highly recommend this book and the Breaking Free series that started it all.

The kids are all grown up

This was a really good start to the spin off series surrounding the kids all grown up and finding their mates. I felt like the character arc of mr. porter was a little off. The description of him at first just didn’t jive with him all the sudden turning into a loving caring sire that was just a bit over protective. I felt like it was almost two different people. If you would have told me he was guilty of the assault I would have believed it from the initial description but never again after like the first 20% of the book....pretty drastic difference.

Once again AM has been up to their evil author shenanigans!!! Not only putting her characters through a huge rollercoaster to get to the HEA but also us readers. I can't tell you how many times i stopped and said "oh my god no! She didn't wtf?!!?!?!?"
Finding Free is a spinoff to the Breaking Free series and it's the same pure omegaverse perfection as its predecessor. I simply adore everything about this world. It makes you smile, gasp and cry. The HEA are hard faught but it's so worth it. I hope Am keeps on writng in this world - love it, love it and did I mention how much I love it?

Wow!

I have a feeling this author feels like a proud momma! My all-time favorite mpreg, non-shifter series is back!

Alpha Gavin is chomping at the bit to meet his bond mate. Omega Frey is starting to feel an old maid in the Omega world. At 22, Frey is no stranger to heats, having been helped through by Beta nurses while his father keeps Alphas at bay.

These characters...OMG! Gavin and Frey are STRONG when adversity strikes and probably two of the best written characters I’ve ever read.

Should I say....PEYTON NEXT!

Highly recommended!

Another wonderful Omegaverse book by AM

What a great peek back into the Omegaverse of AM Arthur! In this next generation spinoff series, we get to see all the characters we love (who’ve experienced a lot of life in the 13 years between the last book of the Breaking Free Series and this book). I love Arthur’s storytelling always and this book is no exception. Gaven and Frey are a wonderful couple, and I love them as the starting point of the new series.

Good start

This was a good start to this spin off series... It was good to see the kids all grown up.. I can't wait for their individual stories... Now Gavin was absolutely a wonderful Alpha ... Frey i wanted to shake some sense into for real!! I was so frustrated with him... Surprising enough Morgan was a great father and i liked we got to see that ... He really did have Frey's happiness at heart... Can't wait to see who the next book will be about...
