Left scarred and untrusting after an attack, Kara doesn't let people close—it only leads to heartache. When a job goes wrong, she's stuck working with the three uptight and disapproving alphas who hired her, in order to clear her name. She has no problem sleeping with them, but that's as far as she can ever let it go.
Cullen, Reese and Damon are used to dealing with criminals in their work as private investigators, but they've never met anyone like the wild omega, Kara. When working for them lands her in trouble, they have no choice but to finish their case with her. They've always wanted to settle down with a quiet, sweet omega who would listen and stay safe, and it's obvious Kara isn't any of those things. Each taste they have of her shows them how happy they could be...if only they could tame her.
As Kara and the alphas delve deeper into the shadows to track the missing omega, the differences between them seem insurmountable. Even as danger surrounds them, Kara clings to her need for freedom while the alphas believe changing her is the only way to keep her safe. If they can't learn to trust one another in time, the secrets they chase will pull them all under.
Reader advisory: This book contains scenes of violence and implied coercion / dubious consent. There are references to the heroine’s criminal / violent activities and past abduction and mutilation, and discussions of infertility.
Jayce Carter lives in Southern California with her husband and two spawns. She originally wanted to take over the world but realized that would require wearing pants. This led her to choosing writing, a completely pants-free occupation. She has a fear of heights yet rock climbs for fun and enjoys making up excuses for not going out and socializing.
Kara is a feisty Omega who doesn’t take any prisoners. She knows what she wants and will go for it – whether that is something she is stealing or sex. Cullen, Reese, and Damon want a domestic Omega, one who won’t cause trouble and will do as she is told. Guess they got that wrong!
This is a long book with plenty of action going on, both in and out of the sheets. I enjoyed hearing about all four main characters but Damon is the one who stole into my heart. Gotta love a nerdy Alpha! In no way was he weak but he got his pleasure in making sure Kara was looked after in every way.
I think the thing that did it for me was the constant addressing of the trust issue between all four of them. I got it the first time, maybe the second emphasized the problem, but after that, it became superfluous.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and can’t wait for Liam & co’s story! I would recommend reading this series but it is not necessary to get the most out of this book, as it stands alone fine. Absolutely recommended by me.
"It takes three alphas to tame this wild omega." Enjoyed this. Kept my interest. Unpredictable, tragic, steamy, filled with action, and twists and turns.

Insufficient groveling after the amount of page space taken up by the alphas thinking how broken the FMC was and how good she was for short term but didn’t fit long term (🤢)
I've read a lot of omegaverse over the years and they are often either sweet omegaverse, where the women are cherished, courted, revered or dark omegaverse, where omegas are subjugated, controlled, stripped of autonomy, little more than slaves.
This one though was neither. The A/B/O world seemed very similar to our own. Omegas are rare but there are still traffickers around and omegas are in demand. Kara is a 25 year accomplished thief, criminal and all round badass. She's been living on her wits and skills since she was 13, when she was attacked and badly injured. She is certainly not your typical omega, she's snarky, spirited, fesity and a bit reckless, which I loved ( I'm bored of sweet, submissive, obedient omegas).
She has a medical condition which causes her to be in a half heat most of the time, which causes a high libido, Kara is a girl who likes the D. Whilst on a job she runs into 3 Alphas, Cullen, Reese and Damon. There's an instant attraction and they think she's a beta, but once her designation is discovered the alphas decide Kara is not a long term project.
She isnt the omega they are seeking for a mate, too wild, too uncontrollable, but they'll enjoy sexy times with her. Similarly Kara has no interesting playing housewife or being left at home. She's not willing to give up the life she fought for for anyone.
I think that was the reason this wasnt a 5 star review, I disliked the way 2 of the Alphas kept rejecting her based on their own insecurities. No successful partnership starts off with trying to change someone into being something they arent. This was a bit jarring and did put me off, I'm glad Kara thoroughly took them to task over it. She wasnt going to be forced into doing anything she didnt want to do.
The story is good with mysterious labs trying to do illegal things, missing omegas and the crew investigating. The characters were good, Cullen and Reese were sometimes too Alpha for my taste but I loved young Damon and how devoted he was to Kara.
Kara was such a breath of fresh air in an often cloyingly sickly sweet genre. She gave as good as she got, if not better and had all 3 Alphas eating out of her hand by the end. But she was also vulnerable behind her tough persona. I was curious about how the issue of kids would be resolved in this one as so often its assumed kids are the be all and end all for omegas but we didnt get an epilogue. Again realistic as not every woman wants to reproduce and Kara didnt strike me as a maternal type.
I really enjoyed it, there's lots of spice, its an interesting fast paced story and I appreciated an atypical omega book. I wish we could have more.
This is the sixth story in The Omega's Alphas series. This could easily be read as a stand-alone and still thoroughly enjoy it, I did! (Now I need to read the previous stories!)
I had a very hard time putting the story down. Who needs sleep, or going to work? I loved how each character was so individual and different yet they all worked perfect together. The story was fantastic in that it wasn't just a romance, or having hot scenes. It had a real story behind it that would have been great on its own.
Kara was an Omega. Normally Omegas are soft-spoken, kind, considerate, submissive women. Kara is anything but! When she was thirteen she was brutally attacked, so the one thing that Omegas are prized for, having children, is the one thing she cannot do. She was taken in by three Alphas, they make the mafia look weak, and trained on how to defend herself and also to become a renowned thief. She is argumentative on a good day. Deadly with any type of weapon. She has a libido where she is in half heat all the time. When she is hired to steal a passcard, it was easy peasy. What she didn't know is that she is now on the radar for some secret labs that the card gives access to. Now she has assins after her to find out who hired her. When she finds out who is supposed to duplicate the passcard, someone who doesn't have the knowledge to do so, she takes it to her expert. When she goes to get the duplicates, she finds him murdered. Now she has to find out who did it and bring them down. She has to work with the people who hired her to get the passcard, three Alphas.
Cullen, ex-military, and Reese have worked together for years. They also have shared women between them. To round out their business is young pup Damon who is the 'brains' with the computer. They work well together, but they have never shared with Damon before. They are on the hunt for a missing Omega who is thought to be in this lab that is working on the pheromones between Alphas and Omegas. They hire a thief to get the passcard to the labs but end up finding a partner who works well with them if they could overlook the fact that she is a loose cannon who is defensive and lies. They end up breaking down her walls to find out what is up with her snarky attitude and find that she may not be what they were expecting for their Omega, but she is exactly what they can't see living without.

The writing and editing of this novel was clean, with few typos that I caught in the ARC version of the manuscript. The world building was deft and subtle, layering in omegaverse elements to a contemporary setting. The characterization was the best in this novel of the whole series. The heroine especially was a complex, vibrant individual. The development of the romantic relationship was natural and organic. The plot and pacing was exciting, with lovely romantic suspense elements. There was a high amount of angst in this novel, but it was completely justified by the traumatic history of the heroine, so I was able to relax and enjoy it. The stakes were also sky high, with a lot of potential danger, so I was able to enjoy the high angst. This novel used a variation on the Only One Bed trope, the Mating Bond trope common in omegaverse novels, and the Abused Heroine trope. The world building, plot and pacing were four stars. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship was also four stars. The combined score of this novel was therefore four stars. This novel had a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that is a big plus for this whole series, considering many m/f omegaverse romances are multiple book series with cliffhanger endings. That is one big con to the sub-genre. I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy omegaverse, reverse harem, or romantic suspense stories. I am planning to buy myself a keeper copy of this novel, I think.

When I read a book that captures my attention I tend to read it in one sitting if possible. If it's not, I go back to it as soon as I can. This book drew me in, capturing me almost immediately. However, after having to stop reading it I had to force myself to pick it up again. I couldn't figure out why if I really liked it would I be so apprehensive about reading it. It made no sense. Then I realised that it was because I was SO EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN THESE CHARACTERS. I needed to be able to handle the ups and downs and heartbreak. This book is well worth the read. The main character is amazing! She is strong, intelligent, fun, and a huge smartass. She is also guarded, hurting, and in some ways vulnerable. The author did an excellent job at keeping her true to herself while allowing growth too. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes this genre.

Kara is an Omega but not your typical submissive kind. She is hired to steal a pass card but something goes wrong and she needs to find out more about this pass card. So she takes it to someone that she's worked with before but when she goes back for it that person is dead. With no choice but to work with the people that hired her Kara return to the Alphas. Cullen and Reese have worked with each other before and have teamed up with Damon who is into computers. They are looking for something or someone specific but Kara is a distraction to them. But she is someone they don't want to lose. Will she give them a chance at her heart? Can they make a relationship work?
This is an amazing story that will captivate you from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

This is the sixth book in the series, but you don't need to read the other books to enjoy this one. I say that because I haven't read the other five, but I need to go back and read them. Kara is an omega and a thief. She has lots of trust issues and good reasons to have them. Cullen, Reese and Damon are alphas that are also private investigators. They hire Kara to steal something and that gets a price put on her head. They have to work with her to help solve their case and get the price removed. All four of them have trust issues that they need to solve if they want a relationship. I enjoyed the story. It was well thought out and seems to be like our world, but with alphas, betas and omegas. I do recommend this book! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I really enjoyed reading this alpha/omega reverse harem romance & found the plot to be well-written & intriguing with well-developed characters that continue to develop throughout the story-line to become well-adjusted individuals in a reverse harem relationship. There is: a scarred & distrustful female omega & thief (Kara) lands up working for three rather disapproving alpha male investigators (Cullen, Reese & Damon) & although they wanted a sweet but biddable female omega for their mate but they soon change their minds & are quite determined to claim Kara, drama, adventure, action, intrigue, twists & turns, threats, suspense, threats, danger, murder, violence, conflict, memories, family issues, manipulations, defiance, discipline, spankings, jealousy, disagreements, devious plans, confrontations, steamy scenes, contentment & a satisfying conclusion.
A Suspenseful Romance! In “Tamed by the Alphas” the title is misleading, the feisty, bold, snarky, courageous, spitfire Kara does not get “tamed”. She leads her alphas on a merry chase in this excitingly, suspenseful tale. The alphas Reese, Cullen, and Damon hire Kara to steal for them. This tosses Kara and the alphas in the middle of an illegal operation that places her life in danger, which is the beginning of a dangerous, thrilling, and intense adventure that she may not survive. This is a must-read alpha/omega romance that will keep you intrigued and guessing to the last page. NO cliffhangers here! I highly recommend this read. I received a free copy of this book.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is the sixth book I have read in this series. The alpha and omega storyline hooked me from the beginning. In this story we have a young omega who is a thief. She is nothing like the three alphas think an omega should be. And certainly she is not like one they would want, or would they? Kara thinks Cullen, Damon and Reese are the worst controlling and uptight men she has ever known. They are every thing she hates about alphas, or are they? You do not have to read these books in order but I am glad that I did. They all have great characters and storylines. Pick up this latest book or all of them

Loved this book, very powerful and I was drawn into the pages so much when I was reading that it took me a while to come back to the real world once the book was finished. The book was well written and the diverse characters were very well developed, brilliantly portrayed and had strong chemistry. The story included some real hard hitting issues which were handled well, a great deal of action and hot steamy romance with plenty of twists and turns. I cannot wait for more from Jayce Carter, a fantastic author that I will be reading plenty more of.

—>>> I really enjoyed this story and especially loved Kara’s character. She is strong, sassy, smart and scarred…and an Omega. All those elements make her a thoroughly tough cookie to push back against Cullen, Reese and Damon, the three Alphas who hire her for a job. Unfortunately, the job balloons soon into another as well as puts Kara’s life on the line. Her three men all have their own issues to overcome, and find their little thief intriguing, but when they finally realize what they had in Kara, they may be too late to convince her to stay. Looking forward to reading more of this series!
After reading this book I had to take a little time to compose myself and get my thoughts clear in my head before I put them in a review. Wow this book was amazingly written. Once I started I couldn’t put it down till I was finished. This book has twists and turns you don’t know what’s happening. will they all get there happily ever after or will it all go wrong. To find out what happens go buy the book. You won’t be disappointed I wasn’t.

Loved the story. Around every corner lurks danger and it seems Kara is in the middle of the danger or at least nearby. Hired by the three alphas, Cullen, Damon and Reese, Kara gets more then she bargained for in the strong attraction that develops between them. The story is a romance with a happy ending but it also revolves around trying to find a kidnapped prime alpha Kash who is being experimented on. This is a great read with a lot going on and there is never a dull moment. I would recommend the book as a great read.
I enjoyed this new "Omega's Alphas" story. It's a sexy reverse harem romance with a touch of danger, action and suspense. This is an interesting and intriguing story. Kara, Cullen, Reese and Damon are good together. Kara is a strong female with a feisty personalty and trust issues. Cullen, Reese and Damon need her help but that leads to danger for her. The opposite of what they thought they would want they can't resist her and want to claim her in every way. Can they win their mate over? Can they solve the case?
Kara is a spitfire Omega who doesn't take any gruff. She knows what she wants and goes for it. Poor Cullen, Reese and Damon wanted a sweet omega that did as she was told and didn't give them any grief. This book has plenty of action in and out of bed. Kara ends up working for the alpha male investigators who wants a biddable female omega they change their minds and are determined to claim Kara. There is also action, intrigue, twists and turns, threats, danger, spankings, discipline, steam and a wonderful conclusion. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
This is the story of Kara and her alphas Cullen, Reese and Damon. Kara is a badass omega who insists on her independence. When she sees what she wants she goes after it. This is not the quiet, obedient omega Cullen, Reese and Damon wanted but they know Kara is what they need. These PIs are working a case and danger is everywhere. These alphas don’t approve of Kara’s ways but they will do everything to protect her and ensure her happiness. I enjoyed the ups and downs, suspense and romance in this story.

When a Omega thief, Kara, who's distrustful of most everyone ends up working with 3 alpha investigators, Cullen, Reese and Damon, there can only be problems. And a lot of intense chemistry and steam. The Alpha's have trust issues as well, but they need her to solve a mystery. This book, though the 6th book a series, can be read as a standalone (I haven't read the other books). The story is well paced, has tons of action, twists, turns, and drama. Overall a solid read!

Headstrong, independent thief Kara (FMC) gets hired for a job by three Alphas - Cullen, Reese & Damon but a clash of personalities make that a slightly difficult prospect. Missing people, murder and plenty of sexy scenarios all combine in this book. Ive read all the books in this series so far & this one is just as good. A great read. Just wondering if Liam, Erik & Torrin might get their own book??
Kara is a damaged Omega, she is also a thief who can take care of herself. She gets hired by three alphas for a job that almost gets her killed. After that they work together to resolve the job and who tried to kill her. Well written, steamy mystery with humor thrown in. I enjoyed this book immensely. Can't wait for another from this author.

This is the sixth book in this series. You can read this as a standalone or as part of the series. The story will keep you flipping pages to see what will happen next with these characters. They fit well together and have steamy chemistry. Looking forward to read more.
This is the 6th book in the series, but it can be read as a stand-alone. Kara is a thief and doesn’t really trust anyone. She is hired to steal something for four Alpha private investigators that gets her in trouble. Can they begin to trust each other and get the price taken off her head? Fast-paced read with great characters, loads of drama and steam. I really liked it.
Great Read. This was a great adventure this is book six in the series and was a great addition.loved the storyline it is interesting and keeps you on your toes. The characters are great loved the alphas Cullen, Reese and Damon they are tough and no nonsense. kara is a stunning character loved her spirit. Great Read from start to finish.
I love this series! Jayce has written another great book. It has light hearted moments and some really hot bits that will make you hotter. Jayce’s characters mesh together making for high adventures and hot sex. I love the story’s plot too! If you have any triggers with roughness and hot sex I would not recommend this book for you.
The sixth book in The Omega’s Alphas series a well written story that held my interest until the end. Kara trusts no on then she meets Cullen, Damon and Reese, there is drama, danger, suspense, and romance. I would like to see Liam, Erik and Kane find their own happiness.

3.5. This one would have been higher for me, except the for the Hs. The fact that they didn’t accept the h for who she was for so long bothered me. The h definitely carried the story. If not for her I would not have like the book at all. She is unapologetically herself. She has flaws and issues and rolls with them as best as she knows how.
When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Jayce Carter is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.
This book is amazing. Kara is a stubborn and hot headed thief, who thinks she is damaged so she cant be happy. Cullen, Reese and Damon decide to show her otherwise. Loved reading this book. Thanx.
