Howling Rock MC #1

Omega Auctioned

Rate this book
Life as an Omega is a hard one.

It is full of duties and desires that are never truly fulfilled.
I was one of them, yet I refuse to live my life only to breed for Alpha shifters.
I am not going to let them steal or buy me away from my family, all for the sake of some ancient duty I was supposed to have.
I wasn’t going to let it happen.

Then it did happen.

I was bought at an auction, while simultaneously saved from a clan of shifters that wanted to breed me and take my children for their new soldiers.
Isaac was an outlier, someone that just showed up out of the blue.
I was afraid of Isaac at first, even as I owed him my life.

Things changed when I went into my very first heat.

My desire for my new mate was undeniable and I was begging him for something I thought I would never want.
Need turned into pleasure that I’d never felt before.
And maybe even something else.

Maybe even love.

Or it was all just too good to be true and my life was going to take a turn for the worst.

Nothing this good ever lasted too long....

I love Paranormal... who doesn't? I spend most of my time reading and writing, but to keep my sanity - I love being outdoors. That's where my imagination goes wild.

I really enjoyed reading this splendid shifter romance that has a somewhat darkish undertone. The plot is well-written & interesting with some devious undertones & unexpected events that are well-described. The characters have well-defined personalities, individually each of the characters are unique & display realistic emotional feelings that are believable.
It is about: an intelligent young female omega (Anna) finds herself on auction to the highest bidder then she is bought by an alpha male shifter (Isaac) but there is unforeseen trouble on the horizon.
There is: a despicable clan (Steel Vipers), a more progressive shifter clan (Howling Rocks), rivalry, war, mates, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, drama, adventure, action, devious plans, deceit, betrayal, danger, threats, enemies, conflict, violence, life-threatening incidents, manipulations, determination, jealousy, protectiveness, surprises, declaration, love, steamy scenes & well-earned satisfying ending.

Omega Auctioned by Laura Wylde was a great story to read. I really enjoyed reading this story very much because it has wolf shifters in the story and I loved reading about them. I recommend this story to everyone who likes reading about wolf shifters and paranormal romance.

Laura Wylde has written a 5-star book. Anne is an Omega shifter and she has been running from the Steel Vipers for a while. She has been caught for an auction. There are more Omega's for this auction and she is trying to calm them. Isaac is the Alpha for the Hollow Rocks clan and he and a few others have come to the auction to get omegas. When he sees Anne, he yells out, "She is mine. Things do not go as planned for Isaac. " When he gets ready to take care of things, A man walks in and yells "Wait, you can't sell her she is mine." Anne knows the man, it is Scott, he had tried to sell her to the Steel Vipers years ago." Anne yells that she has been sold and she belongs to Isaac. When Isaac starts towards the stage to get Anne, he is stopped by three Vipers. This is when things go from bad to worse. Isaac is ready for a fight. Cliff is someone who Isaac has fought before. He tries to get him to stay down but he won't. Isaac knows the only way out is to kill him now. Isaac gets things rolling again after the fight. Anne does not act like an Omega and this has Isaac wondering why. There is something that just draws Isaac to Anne. Isaac tells her that they are going to double-check outside and then they will leave. There was talk of banning Isaac and his clan from the auctions. Isaac goes to talk to the Owner, John. he tells him that he needs to start the auction back up. They talk for a few more minutes and things start back up. Isaac wins the bid for Anne. Isaac gets her out and they go to the Hollow Rocks compound. They are only there for a couple of hours when they hear tires on gravel. she knows that the Steel Vipers have found her again. Isaac tells her to stay in the bedroom, He goes around the room and gets his guns. Anne tells him to give her one and she can shoot from the window. He is not sure about this but he gives her a gun anyway. When the fighting starts, she takes two of the Vipers out. When she sees a guy on the ground calling for help, she jumps down from the window to help him. Isaac sees her with the guy and asks "What are you doing here?" She tells him that the guy needed help and no-one came to help him so she did. When Isaac calls for some help, Donna, an Omega she was at the auction with came over and said that she was a nurse and she could help him. Things are getting a little hard for Isaac with waiting for Anne. He thinks the best thing for him to do is go to Apple Valley to see if he could get some recruits, but that plan is put to rest for a few days as Anne's heat come into play. When they talk about the trip, she tells him she wants to help him and wants to go. She tells him that she can tell people the truth about the Steel Vipers as no-one can. He ends up saying she can go. Isaac has tried to get Jesse, the leader of the Apple Valley clan to join in the fight against the Steel Vipers but he has always said no. Now with Anne, he thinks she has some good ideas and he thinks they can work, there is only one problem, no-one knows where they are. Anne tells Isaac that she knows where they are because she has been to their main headquarters and she can show them where it is. She goes with them to show them where they should be. They keep watch and think of a plan to attack. While Anne is there she feels sick and she thinks she may be pregnant. She is not sure about telling Isaac but he knows. She is not wanting to go up against the Vipers if she is pregnant, so when Isaac tells her he is sending her back to the compound with Trevor, she doesn't fuss. She tells him that he needs to keep Trevor since he is used to fighting with him. She tells him that she can get back to the compound by herself. A little ways from the compound, Anne gets the feeling of being followed. She doesn't want to take anyone back to the compound with her so she double backs a few times. The next morning she is woken up by an explosion. She is close to the compound and she runs to it. When she gets there she sees some of the people who came to her shooting lesson and she finds them weapons and sends them to the Zion National Park. The attackers have made a mess of the compound and this makes Anne mad. She is thinking that this was planned. Anne and a few others get into place once the attackers are found and Anne Telepathically sounds out the war cry. She thinks that the Omegas will never be free and safe. This is the last thought she has because at the moment a man walks out of the smoke and points a gun at her. She lunges at him before he can scream. She thinks one down a few more to go. Anne and her small group take the attackers out and when they get back to the compound, it is worse than Anne thought. While Anne is dealing with the mess at the compound, Isaac, Jesse, and the others are watching the trailer park where the Steel Vipers are supposed to be. Isaac and Jesse both feel something is off with things. Isaac tries to talk him out of doing this but Jesse tells him they are all fired up and won't listen to him so they are going to do this. Things don't turn out the way Isaac wanted them to. He finds out that the Steel Vipers have killed all the Omegas they had, and they were planning to kill ann the children also. Isaac found which trailer the children were in and right before he went up the stairs, he saw they were hooked up to a boom with just a few minutes left on it. Trevor came up and grabbed the boom and took off. A few seconds later Isaac heard an explosion and knew he lost a great friend. He was able to save eleven children. When he gets back to the compound, he gets fussed at by Anne. She said, "I asked you to come back to me but with bullets in you." He is out for a few days and when he wakes up for the first time in days, Anne is there sitting in a chair. She tells him about what has happened in the time he has been down.
This was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone.

What an enjoyable read this book was, do I wish there was a bit more to the stories ending. Anna is an omega wolf shifter that had run away from the life that fated had dealt her to be a breeder to an alpha but her parents tried to help where they could by teacher her to fire a gun and to be strong and independent. While on the run she blended in the human world and went to college and learnt how to read and write because omega’s don’t do this or are not aloud to, now all is lost they found her and so she is to be auctioned off along with other omega females and the Steel Vipers want them all but Anna is brought by Isaac Callaway but not before a fight broke out between the two clans and the Vipers where killed. Isaac is the Alpha at Hollow Rocks and will kill if he has to but mostly he is a gentle giant and just wants peace but he needs a mate and Anna ticks all his boxes she is different from all the others and that makes her priceless. To find out how it all turns out get this book you will love it.

This a darker read than normal paranormal romances and even than what Laura normally writes but after saying that i don't believe it is going to cause anyone any dramas reading it

Isaac is an alpha who wants to build up his clan It is a more forward thinking clan than most and that is due to the alpha himself. He needs a female omega to assist with this so he has headed to an omega auction. Anna is an omega who has been on the run trying to escape the Steel Vipers but they ahve finally caught her and put her on the auction block but she is still fighting. She should be stripped naked for the auction but an alpha bidding on her offers a huge sum is she is kept clothed and he wins her Isaac was dawn to her the moment he saw her on the block and he has a feeling that she is a different omega than normal. Can they have a safe future or are the Steel Vipers going to keep on coming for them and if that happens will they fight together for their future You will have to rad to see.

Blood and Guts

The storyline was intriguing but did not pan out as expected. The villain MC was brutal and murderous to members AND women and children. The romance factor was bland due to first person writing style of filled pages of the lovers thoughts versus interactions. The heated moments were vague and left reader with thoughts of wam, bam, thank you ma'am.

Am passing on rest of series because just no interest in future with this Omega and Alpha. Honestly, I did not feel the story is a Shifter Romance. As a side note, personally I am truly turned off by child abuse on any level. I did not understand the destruction of the villain MC future growth. There was not any details from the villain MC perspective which in hindsight is probably for the best.

As always I recognize the talent and dedication of Writers but this book is just not pleasure reading for me.

A great start to a new series sees Anna a Omega being auctioned off and hopeing that she ends up with a nice Alpha instead of the one she was sold to years prior as anything is better than that.
Isaac isn't really looking forward to having to get an Omega yet when he catches sight of Anna he will do anything to make sure she is his.
A fun loving read that sees Anna being able to live a life full of love aswell as have a choice in what she does and doesn't do. Embracing her animal and the role she will play for other Omegas.

Anna is an omega who ran away from the most vicious club around. She spends next few years living as a human. She then gets caught and put up for auction along with many other omegas. Isaac is the leader of another club out of Utah. He needs to grow his clan and goes to the auction. He sees Anna and claims her for himself. After a fight will he still be allowed to purchase Anna? What happens to the rest of the omegas? What happens to the vicious club? This was an action packed book and interesting concept for omegas. I did enjoy reading the book. Thank you.

Omega Auctioned

Anna had fun her entire life from being caught because she was an omega. But she had the chance to live a life that most omega never have the opportunity to do, live like a human. She educated herself and even got to go to college, until the Steel Bikers caught up to her and took her to their compound to hold until she could be more useful. They never thought she would escape, but they didn't know her very well and she had been on the run ever since. Who would ever think that she's get caught to be sold on the black market. It wasn't what she expected, now what was she going to do? 👍GREAT READ!!!👍👍

An Alien Motorcycle Club story?!

Anna made a promise to all those she found to keep them safe but could she keep herself safe? Alien motorcycle clubs story was not what I expected when I looked at the title. Would they be able to stop the Steel Vipers? The Vipers are willing to kill everyone to get Anna back. The story line and the characters are good. I found that the story needs filling out or fluffing with the little details that make a story fun to read.

Average

This was a good story. It had a lot of potential to be great but it didn't get there. It didn't flow well at times and a lot of things didn't add up. The main character is 20 but it felt like she was roughly 16 half the time. The bad guys are filling up two states working on a third but they only send five guys at a time to steal a precious commodity. The main battle made no sense whatsoever. It was just little things here and there.

Anna was a bad*ss omega who, just like the title says, gets auctioned off. She's trying to run away from the life of a breeder, hoping she gets bought by a decent enough alpha.
Isaac sees Anna and instantly knew she was his. There was a lot of potential in this story. Just some misses here and there but overall it wasn't too bad.

This book really makes you think of what could be going on right under our noses. I was on the edge of my seat throughout waiting to see what could happen next to this couple. I would love to see more set on this world.

Anna was an Omega werewolf and her entire clan had been slaughtered. She ran and hid for years and was captured and to be auctioned. Isaac saved her and quickly found out she wasn’t like other Omegas. Good story with strong and engaging characters.

First let me state that I received an advanced reader copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review.

Holy shiznet!!! What a gr8 story. Anna isn't your typical omega, she's strong and resilient. Isaac is the prefect alpha for her. This is a really good story. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up

Omega Auctioned

Laura Wylder did a good job on this story. It had suspense and adventure. The auction is where it all starts. From there things started to get interesting and a bit dangerous. Another clan was trying to use omegas for breeding fighters for their clan. They would take them from their mothers Young to train them. To me this was wrong. Worth getting and reading.

Loved the book it was great, the story was written well and the characters were interesting. Conrad was blackmailed by chief Bailey. Chief Bailey wants Conrad to bring Hannah home. Conrad had no choice, Hannah made everything difficult she does not want to go. How is the MC involved in all this?

I have read Ms Wylde's books before but not for a while now though. So this one is new to me. I love shifter romance. And this one's no different in that sense, but is different cause the shifters are also a motorcycle gang. So that in itself is cool. Along with the storyline, it's a really good read. I would definitely suggest this to anyone who loves shifters, romance and motorcycle gangs.

Good Read

An Omega who doesn't act her station in life. On the run and in hiding. Sold at auction to an Alpha who treats her with respect. Ends up pregnant during her first heat. During an attack on the compound two Omegas protect the compound. I still don't like the way it ends.

The story was ok, but it just seemed stiff. The words didn't flow like some other stories, it felt robotic.

Needs editing

it was a one dimensional read and had amateur-ish writing. Could do with editing and more practice writing so emotion had depth and came out more real.
