Taken is the third and final book in the Omega Prey series and concludes Priya’s story!
More adventures will be coming for new characters in the Omega Prey universe!

First I was a broken Beta.
Now I am a broken Omega.
My mates are worried; I am worried.
Trapped, and a prisoner of my home lest my scent send Alphas mad with lust.
I just need a moment.
But I won’t get one.
For tonight brings outlaws who remind me that I am prey.

Publisher’s Note: If you’re looking for a super SWEET omega verse with enthusiastic consent before action, this is NOT the book for you. Taken (Part two of Prize) is a FANTASY (not even vaguely close to the real world) book on the medium-dark scale of omega verse with LOTS of domestic discipline (think hands and belts) and consent driven by the heroine/hero response to pheromones. Trust that our heroine is a sweet and stubborn brat, and if she gets into a tussle with her mates, it’s so she can test they’re worthy. Our heroes embrace their role in claiming and protecting their mate seriously and adore their sweet charge.

How do you make an already awesome omegaverse RH story even better? Add a wolf shifter as the omega’s fourth mate!! I absolutely loved this book & devoured it in one 4am session.

Priya continues to be a handful for her mates and when her bad choices force them into unknown hands her fourth mate is revealed.

Plenty of action, feels, filthy dirty sex and humour amongst her gruff mates & their headstrong omega. This one had me smiling as I turned the pages. Such a great read.

I received an arc of this book.

Magical ending to the trilogy

Thus ends Priya’s story - from defective beta to incomplete omega to ... oh, I can’t give that away, you’ll have to read this rich, lush, lusty ending. Priya always wanted adventure and she certainly gets one in this book! As with all adventures, it’s more than anyone bargained for and everyone is changed by it. There’s a lovely, Lord of the Rings quality to both the story and the high fantasy setting. Add in the great love between Priya and her mates, including a surprise fourth, and this is an epic romp you will remember for a long time.
Highly recommended. ❤️

Triggers and warnings***
This is still in the draft stage, so I may update triggers before publishing.
Trigger* Re: tragic event related to pet
Other warnings*
This is not a standalone novel and requires at least PRIZE to have been read first.
The story closes on a HEA and completes the trilogy (PREY, PRIZE, TAKEN).
This is a MFMMM book (One Omega h, Three Alpha H, One Wolf shifter H) and contains scenes with h and multiple H.
There is no MM in this book.
Spoiler re: mating scene
As per the first two books in this series, there is a dub-con nature to the relationship between the Omega and her mates. It is animalistic and driven by instincts and scent and follows the fated-mates trope loosely.
There is discipline...a lot of it, with a paddle, cane, and crop.
If you are looking for fade to black, this is not the book for you. Sexual scenes are described in detail and scattered throughout the book.

L.V. Lane continues to deliver action-packed steamy omegaverse that's a must read for all fans of the genre. In Taken, Priya and her three mates are struggling with something (or someone) missing from their relationship. As a result, already headstrong and bratty, Priya makes some reckless decisions that force her and her mates into some hot water. It is here that she finally meets the missing piece to their little unit, a rogue wolf shifter Raglan. I absolutely adored Raglan and his handling of the omega. Their chemistry was undeniable and he added another dimension to the relationship, not to mention all the enhanced shifter parts! After some heart pounding action, Priya and her mates get their well earned happily ever after. We also got to catch up with Belle and her mates as well as catch a glimpse into another couple that I hope is coming soon!

Priya has a problem, her scent has not changed and she's vulnerable to any alpha that might get near to her. Of course she does find herself away from protection and gets caught. After being abducted, there is an irrisistable connection to one other captive close to her and he's strong and wise and knows exactly what Priya needs. There's one little problem, Hawthorne, Priya's alpha and her potential fourth know each other and their friendship is not a good one. Raglan is everything Priya needs but it won't be easy to get him accepted as her fourth, plus, he's a wolf- shifter and must mate her in his half wolf shift which involves a giant monster-like visage along with a member to match. Her other three mates will be needed to help prepare her for the ultimate mating with Raglan. This conclusion of Priya and her mates adventurous story was exactly what I and Priya needed, her mates, a completed 4th with a very saisfying HEA.
I'm looking forward to whatever L.V. Lane has in store for us next!

Book 1 = 3.5 stars rounded up
Book 2 = 3 stars
Book 3 = 2 stars / DNF

Review Written August 2022

This continues the story of Priya and her mates. I was hoping that after the second book, when Priya was disciplined a lot, there would be less in this one. But when the book started off with a long sex scene including discipline, I knew it wasn't going to be any different.

I'm very disappointed because I like L.V.L's writing style, and the plot involving the Blighten and the outlaws, their enemies, is quite intriguing. I was eager to see where that storyline would lead and to learn more about Raglan, a wolf-shifter who will be joining their poly relationship. His sarcastic and provocative personality was my favorite.

But, I would have to skim at least half of this to read the parts that weren't discipline & sex! Speaking of the sex scenes, they were too wet and rough for my tastes. 🤢 The MMCs were OTT Doms. I'd like to find a series with either less or preferably, none of that.

🚫 If this author ever writes a book/series without the stuff I dislike, I'll give her another chance, but for now I'm done.

Its a hard book to review tbh.

The actual adventure part was entertaining. Venturing to the new land on the ship as orc slaves.

But, the constant rutting (as they call it) was so gratuitous that instead of enjoying it I became bored and ended up skimming. The book like the previous ones is far too reliant on constant sex n not enough plot.

And there lies the problem because if I wanted just sex I'd watch porn. I need a great story too and too much of anything becomes a bad thing.

So my journey ends with this book. They're just not enough. Tedious to read at times, formulaic and predictable.

Again L.V Lane has me wrapped in her world of great character buildings, sexy males, and all-around a great finally to this series!

Taken is the third and last instalment in this series, and you must read previous books in this series, or you will find yourself very out of water. :)
This book is a reverse-harem Omegaverse book featuring one female Omega and her 4 male Alpha mates.

Get ready to change your sheets, kidnap a male (or female!) and rut your way through this final instalment of this series!

I have always loved this universe, and Priya is an Omega of only 19 years, which shows often. In the previous book we touched upon Ragland and we knew that the "circle" was not complete. Having three mates was simply not enough, and the Goddess had bigger plans for Priya and her mates.

The twists and turns in the story kept me engaged, Ragland was someone I fell in love with from the very first page intro of him. He's a strong shifter Alpha, but he is also very kind and treats others with respect. Something that seems to surprise some people hehe.

It isn't long before Priya gets them all into a bind, in classic Priya style! And we are off on a journey where I was not sure what was going to happen! Ergo I was left at the edge of my seat, and I could not put the book down.

This story is super HAWT, the sex is kinky, the males are sexy and the love is real.

It was a fantastic end to this journey and I can't wait to see what is next in this universe! We are left with a small tiny insight to what might be the next book/novella in the story, in classic L.V. Lane style! <3

5 amazing stars from me!!

An enjoyable fantasy omegaverse romance.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. Raglan was a wonderful addition to the family. The world building was vivid, with the different shifters, the Orcs, and the different countries coming to life. I would have liked a map to reference. The plot was quite exciting. The characterization was great, with the heroine and heroes being sympathetic individuals with strengths and weaknesses. The heat level was scorching, five chili peppers. I really enjoyed that element. An excellent installment in this series. I hope the author continues writing stories in this world.

This 3rd book in the Omega Prey series is a perfect ending to Priya's tale. Liv Lane has given us another wonderful story in which she adds Raglan, a wolf shifter, into the mix. He is Priya's 4th mate and he plays an important role in this action packed story. Priya has gotten herself and her mates into a nasty situation, which makes for some increased tension for everyone involved. But this does not mean that there is any lack of steamy scenes, and Raglan's partial shift ability is wild! It was very happy to see Priya finally get her HEA. And it was great to get an update on Belle's life with her amazing alphas. I am hopeful the the author will continue to give us glimpses of the funny, feisty, gruff and endearing characters from these stories.

Delicious Omega Story!

I loved this story. Priya continues to be the brat Omega she is and put her mates into the position of always having to punish her. But Priya loves every second of it even when she protests against it.

This story is filled with action, suspense, humor and so much titillating deliciousness that you will not be able to put it down.

Absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. I loved every second of it.

I loved the new addition to Priya's mate's. He was so great for Priya and also balances out Hawthorne. Raglan was a great character. I loved that she added a full blooded wolf shifter when she added him. He is such a mischief maker, but knows how to work it to his advantage. I really liked reading the things he got up to.

I knew this was going to be a good ending, but I didn't know L.V. Lane was going to surpass all my expectations! It was full of adventure and action with all the steamy things you've come to expect from this author! Highly recommend!

LV Lane has officially reached the title of “favorite author” for me. I’m obsessed with every book she puts out and this final book of Priya’s journey with her mates is no exception.

The spice was outstanding but behind that, the plot was riveting and led us to a nice conclusion...with a possible hint at Lane’s next project in the series.

So a headstrong Omega, Wolf shifter Alpha and 2 Alpha Mates board a ship - Sounds like a funny haha joke right? Nope, it's the beginning to a great adventure. There is so much to unpack in this third and final installment of Priya's tale that I don't know where to start. You go from being angry for Priya, Sad for her, Sniggering at her snarkiness and happy for her love and joy; All the Feels.
Yes there are triggers, but also there is the all the naughtiness that leads up to the steamy big bang(s) because there are many of those.
A round of ovation for Ms. Lane and her talents.

Fantastic ending

I didnt want this series to end. When I got to around 80% I slowed down reading, dragging out every page to savor the last bit.

There really are no cons at all to this book. I loved the whole thing. I will tell you that I wasn't sure if I would like Raglan after seeing his antics in the previous books. This volume really brought me around. I ended up really liking the character once we got to know him better.

Theres not much to say other than this book is fantastic. I love the mix of the fantasy setting with omegaverse. Its so well done. I would love to see more of this sort of thing. It has a great balance of plot and steam, the characters are interesting and dynamic. Its just great.

This is the final book in Priya's story and the ending was everything I hoped it would be. Ms. Lane did a fantastic job of keeping the emotional tension high until the very end. There were a lot of surprises in this one that kept me on my toes, and the story had a nice fast-pace to it. There wasn't any time when I felt like the story was dragging or where I wanted to put it down, and if I did have to put it down all I could do was think about what was going to happen next.

The story is full of wonderful characters, heat, tenderness, suspense, and gets wrapped up with a HEA bow. It's a must read for all Omegaverse lovers.

I absolutely loved this entire series! L.V. Lane is an amazing author, has such a way with weaving a tale. It's always hard to set her books down. She doesn't disappoint with this 3rd installment and the end of Priya's exciting tale of her 3 Alphas. Priya's young and bored and her scent hasn't changed no matter how much attention her 3 alpha mates give her. They're all tense and fretting, her scent needs to change. And as if her problems weren't enough, the Blighten are close. This novel has twists and turns that you don't expect, Priya makes more mistakes that will cause her mates to suffer and in the end there is only one true solution that none of them want to embrace. You won't be disappointed, hurry quick and start reading! I received this as an ARC and provide my honest opinion.

Just couldn’t love this. It just felt like an orgy porno. They just seemed to beat her and use her three holes over and over without any feeling. I didn’t catch the love/respect feeling only the used feeling. And the gushing of body fluids on the floor, on the ground on the bodies just got way too much mention in the book. Ugh enough of the fluids!

3.5 stars

- Heroine: Priya
- Harem: Hawthorn, Brook, Caden, Raglan
- POVs Included: Multiple POVs (Priya, Hawthorn, Caden, Raglan)
- Book Playlist (Omegaverse Romance Playlist)

-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
SUMMARY: (SPOILER WARNING)

Priya has finally found her three mates, but all is not right with the world. Because her scent doesn’t change after mating like it’s supposed to. All of them suspect she still has yet to meet a fourth mate.

Hawthorn grudgingly suspects who it might be. Because most alpha groups are between brothers or alphas who are as close as brothers. And he has known one friend in the past who fits the bill as the missing piece — Raglan.

But Raglan is prisoner to the Blighten and the likelihood of Priya meeting him is slim. Until the Blighten he’s traveling with comes straight for her.

Now they all must find a way to escape capture and adjust to having a fourth alpha in the group.

-----------------------------------
--------------------------------—-
REVIEW:

I liked this one. I really liked Raglan. He’s strong and dominating, but he has a sort of quiet dominance about him. Like he doesn’t need to say much for you to want to obey him. He just has a powerful and rather peaceful presence to him.

I was a little hesitant about there being enough plot to fill a second book for Priya. But with the exciting capture and boat ride (where Caden and Brook managed to get captured on too), it was all quite exciting. I wasn’t sure how they were going to get out of it, so I was pleasantly surprised with how it all turned out.

The only thing I didn’t like about the plot was how it took them all away from Hawthorn for a big part of the book. He did get some good page time after they reunited, but I didn’t like the separation there.

I did like how Priya was a little less bratty in this one. She was more manageable and less annoying. And I think Raglan did a pretty good job keeping her in a calmer state.

I also like how it all turned out. Happily ever after. Yay! I was a little bummed that they decided to leave Wittner estate, though. I was kind of liking them all being in the same castle as Belle and her guys (Priya’s brothers). I also didn’t really understand WHY they left considering Hawthorn, Caden, and Brook all worked there. But I guess Hawthorn wanted to take over running his own family estate. Oh well.

Overall it was another good one from this series! I’m enjoying this Omegaverse. It’s darker than Sweet Omegaverse books, but not TOO dark, just some darker kinkier things going on. And I like that it’s kind of a fantasy world they live in with different creatures and such. I’m looking forward to reading more from this series!

wow, wie genial. Am emotionalsten, aktionsreich & packend …

Der nächste Band, den ihr mit dem vorherigen Band perfekt im Einklang genießen könnt. Wobei es wieder um Priya geht. Diese hat sich auch mit ihren Alphas nicht verändert, ihr Geruch ist immer noch für andere anziehend. Sie scheint in ihren eigenen Augen defekt zu sein.
Genau das bringt sie in Gefahr, sie wird entführt.
Mit Schrecken gehen ihre Alphas auf die Suche nach ihr.
Wo sie als Gefangene einen schönen Preis abgibt, ist auch noch ein anderer Gefangener im Fokus.
Reglan, ein Alpha, ein Wandler, auf den Priya zu leicht reagiert.

Seit gewiss hier wird der Spice, auch wenn er
Programm ist fast zur Nebensache.
Die Verwicklungen zerren an den Nerven, sodass sich Priyas Angst auf uns überträgt.
Ihre Widerspenstigkeit wird sogar zum Vorteil und beschert uns auch köstlich amüsante Begebenheiten.

Eine tolle Mischung, die mich vollkommen in den Bann gezogen hat.
Wobei man auch hier von Priya entzückt ist: drei Alphas als auch Reglan sind es.
Die beeindruckenden Männer/ Alphas sind unglaublich, nicht nur beschützend, sondern auch fürsorglich. Kein Wunder, dass man ihnen schnell verfällt.

Ein ergreifendes, spannungsgeladenes als auch spicy, verführendes Werk, das mich berauscht und in der Geschichte vollkommen eingenommen hat.
Herausstechend sind nicht nur der beherrschende und verführende Teil, der hier sehr hitzig und explosiv ist, sondern auch der voller Ängste und Taten.

Man verfällt den beschützenden, fürsorglichen Alphas mit jedem weiteren Beanspruchen.

Wie ihr merkt, habe ich das Werk genossen, war verstrickt, wurde wieder begeistert, verführt und werde sehnsuchtsvoll zum nächsten  berauschenden Werk greifen.

Taken – Liv Lane
I love Liv Lane. She never, ever disappoints me.
This is the next chapter of the Omega Prey storyline and the conclusion of Priya’s story arc. Wow what a punch it packs!
The instalment follows our little Omega Priya who has been kidnapped by some very unsavoury Blighten. She has a fellow captive, Raglan (an Alpha wolf shifter who just happens to know her own Alpha, Hawthorne) – the chemistry between them is explosive and try as he might to resist, Raglan realises that he is indeed the fourth in Priya’s Harem.
As they sail across the ocean to the enemy stronghold, Priya also finds herself strangely attracted to the wolf shifter despite pining for her mates Hawthorne, Caden and Brook.

When Priya finally goes into her heat, Raglan must attend to her. The scenes here are very explicit. So hot in fact that my Kindle fairly sizzled in my grasp. I found I had to take several breaks to catch my breath. Yowser! This author sure knows how to push the scorching off the pages and into your face so you actually feel the heat that’s built up! Phew!
As expected in the final chapter for this RH, we have a fabulous HEA where Priya is loved by her three Alphas and her Alpha wolf-shifter. Bliss!
Trigger warnings: RH = MFMMM and there are multiple partner, extremely explicit and steamy sex scenes. Complete power exchange, with BDSM and one sex scene where the male is partially shifted to his wolf form. If you are feint hearted, this is not for you. BUT. If you love hot and saucy, this is what you want to read! This is NOT a stand alone book. Read Prey and Prize then read this. You wont regret it.
Totally loved the finish for this story arc! FIVE STARS!!!

What a fabulous 2nd book to this duet in the coveted prey series. If you haven’t read Prey and then Proze you are seriously missing out in my opinion.

I’m a massive fan of this author as you can probably tell with how many books of hers I’ve been reading lately but this duet especially hit all the right buttons for me 🖤

We meet Priya in Prize who as a newly awakened Omega finds herself with 3 mates. 3 holy grail yummy mates I might add (I started off with Brook, then went to Hawthorn and then it was Caden and now i can’t choose a favourite 😂) throughout that book you keep seeing a certain name appear. In this book he becomes such a huge part of the plot and I was here for every single minute of it.

This story had a few twists I didn’t see coming, I was either crying 😢 or screaming at the book 😂 i was so engrossed I just needed to know what was going to happen next.

Priya has got to be 1 of my fave FMC in this world and in her a tbh, she is hilarious, feisty, sassy and her ‘mischief’ is off the charts. The Alpha ‘discipline’ seriously gets me going 😜😉

Loved how the story progressed and how the characters became a pack 🖤 I could read about these guys more as I just loved them.

And as this is an LV Lane book it is extremely spicy 🥵 which I gobbled all up 🤤

These books always go so quickly!

In the continuation of Priya's story, she is still incomplete. Why hasn't her scent changed? She has three mates, what will it take for her scent to change so others know she is bonded? According to their research, she hasn't found all her mates.

We met Raglan in the previous story, and he has to be my favorite alpha, his wit counters Hawthorne's type A personality really well, and I honestly do believe this group needed Raglan.

Raglan who actually spoke with her and told her what was going on. Instead of Hawthorn, Brook and Caden telling Priya she has to hide or her scent will attract alphas. I'm thinking if they had maybe explained some stuff better, she wouldn't have gotten all freaked out and took off on Posey. Trigger warning, animal death--- it is heartbreaking, like Atreyu in The NeverEnding Story. I am glad Raglan was there, because someone had to show her kindness.

On to the fifth book, because the fourth book is the first L.V. Lane story I ever read.
