In a world where only the strong survive love is a weakness I can’t afford.
The Quarantine Zone is a dangerous place for a stray omega. As a child of the wilderness, I do what I must to survive.
Foraging. Scavenging. Stealing if I have to.
And most important of all, hiding.
Whenever my heat comes, I must hide myself away, deep underground where the alphas cannot smell me. It’s a lonely existence, but it’s the only one I’ve ever known...
Until I went and got myself caught.
Now there’s a leather collar around my neck, and a big brutal alpha is holding the leash.
Three alphas, actually.
The savage warriors intend to tame me. They’re going to make me their pet. If I’m a good little omega, I get food and water. Maybe even clothing. If I disobey, I get punished.
But punishment is the least of my worries.
My heat is coming again, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. Soon I’ll be lost in the throes of my instinctual omega need. My pheromones will fill the air, driving the alphas into a frenzy.
And I know exactly what will happen then...
The brutes will claim me. They will use me in the most shameful ways imaginable. They will share me for their rough and primal pleasure.
And they will mark my omega flesh.
Once that happens, there will be no turning back. I’ll belong to the alphas, body and soul. Their own personal omega pet to do with as they please.
But as the alphas will soon discover, a stray omega is not easily tamed.
I have really enjoyed this series. I can't get enough of these strong primitive alphas. Also I am really invested in the over arcing story line and can't wait to see what's coming down the pike.
I loved the different backgrounds, personalities, and even ages between the alphas in this pack. Ark was the steadfast leader, Orwen the grumpy teddybear with a tragic past, and Leros the sweet virgin eager to please. Then there was Embla who was unlike any other omega. She was so honest and innocent in her outlook and thinking. Though she was smart, curious, and quick witted. She definitely was the star for me and made this my favorite of the series so far.
There were many obstacles that this pack had to overcome from jealous conniving omegas to the evil Synergyn cohorts. This had it all action, intrigue, crazy omegaverse reverse harem steam, and of course a hard fought HEA. I can't wait to see what's in store moving forward.
Even though this is an ARC, I will always shoot you straight. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I really enjoyed this story of a feral omega finding her mates. The world building is strong and the author does a great job of writing from the senses, which lends credibility to the wild omega’s characterisation. The alphas are less fully developed - only one of them has any real backstory - and that kept me from connecting with their characters. The villain of the piece, a jealous omega, was also a little cardboard. I’d have liked to see what made all of the characters tick in a more realistic way. But overall a very enjoyable story with plenty of heat. Recommended.
This was a surprisingly sweet read. There’s plenty of growly alphas but they are decidedly kind to the wild omega and I loved this softer omegaverse story.
This is an absolutely outstanding Sci-fi omegaverse romance that has a somewhat dark undertone. There are some character crossovers from previous books in this series, but this book can be read as a standalone although I would suggest reading the series in sequence to fully understand the underlying storyline. The plot has good world building & is quite fast-paced with numerous well-described adventurous situations. The characters are strong-willed individuals with complex personalities & are quite likeable but one of the male characters (a cruel second-in-command, Orwen) is inclined to be judgmental & treats the female character (Embla) rather brutally but he does redeem himself later on in the story. There is: an feral female omega (Embla) makes an error in judgment while trying to steal food & is capture by three alpha males (Ark, Leros & Orwen), a conniving mega-corporation (SynerGen) with a tendency for unethical experiments, a intelligent source (Seraph), a dangerous quarantine zone, mates, friendship, rituals, twists & turns, adventure, action, intrigue, suspense, drama, mystery, deceit, betrayal, abduction, violence, conflict, discipline, spankings, heat issues, steamy scenes, contentment & a well-deserved satisfying epilogue with a very interesting ending. I enjoyed reading this Sci-Fi romance & would recommend it.
I thought my tolerance for Kinky fantasies were quiet hight. This one proved me wrong. I may get this wrong but my interpretations of the heroine she was like a wild animal untamed and did not wear any cloths with animalistic behaviour living in a forest while the hero’s were slightly better with caveman like features/attired like loin cloths over their privates etc. Just could not get my head around this. I’m sure there’s a back story for these MCs but not enough to keep me interested in finding out. Sadly Dnf sorry
Finally we find out what happened with the wild omega
The feral little omega who helped Hines and her Alphas escape is here! We finally get to learn more about her. Is she a Farlander? How did she survive on her own?
Ark and his pack-mates have a hard time communicating with her as she doesn't seem to know many words. They catch her steeling and decide to bring her with them to the City Ruins.
Embla (omega) struggles the entire way, trying to figure out how to escape. When they finally arrive to the Ruins, she is overwhelmed, having never lived with so many people gawking at her, questioning who she is and where's she from.
It is a big adjustment to all of them and it doesn't help that there is an omega, interested in breaking them up. Jora is so adamant about shooting Embla away that she's willing to break one of their biggest taboos, punishment being banishment.
Once again, the author doesn't make the story the same, repetitive or monotonous. She doesn't disappoint!
This doesn’t quite appear to be the final book in this series, but I guess it could go either way. While there’s an “ending” feeling in the final chapters, there’s also a whisper of what might be coming. Perhaps Ms. Bequin will write a sequel series. We met Embla in the last book. Tal and his group rescued her from a Farlander group that held her prisoner. She repaid the kindness by helping them escape when they were captured. She’s pretty feral, after being on her own for so many years. This book details their journey from the forrest, into the ruined city and a brief stint in the outside.
I loved her relationship with two of the alphas, Ark and Leros. In fact, I really loved Leros. So innocent, sweet and caring. I admit, I hated Orwen, the third alpha in this pack. I thought that he was just a straight-up asshole. Ark proves himself a very competent and benevolent alpha, and they do seem to be a well suited pack.
There were a few editing errors, but nothing that spoiled the experience for me; e.g., some spelling and misused words, and one instance of using a possessive rather just the noun (Lero’s when it’s just Leros. That’s his name.). World building in this series has been phenomenal. MFCs seemed to be well fleshed out, but I do feel that there always seems to be one or two of the MMC in RH stories that are never well defined. In this case, Ark’s backstory didn’t leave me feeling that I really knew him or his motivations. In Orwen’s case, his backstory was just hinted at, but not fully described until late in the book. Which, for me, was problematic as it was too late for me to feel any sympathy for his current personality. At one point, I was thinking that it would be better if Ark kicked him out of the pack and he, Leros and Embla became their own little pack.
I love books where the story is told from more than just the MFC POV - so we had multiple viewpoints with Embla getting the most chapters. What was a nice departure here from the norm was a female antagonist that had a few chapters of her own. But what I really loved was SERAPH, the AI, getting a few chapters of his own. This is my first Omegaverse series, so I admit I had a hard time with some of the descriptions of the sex scenes. However, since that seems to be expected in this genre, I did not factor that in to my rating of this book. One of the main things I consider when rating a book is how I feel when I’m done. All coupling descriptions aside, I felt very satisfied after reading this book . . . The entire series actually. So I would recommend this book to any fans of this genre of romance books. If you’re not a fan of the omegaverse or have not been exposed to it, I would still recommend this series, but with a caveat that the sex scenes are pretty graphic. Definitely not for anyone under 18.
I just had my Lizzy fix the other day reading Machine, and I swore at that point that I was chuffed and didn't need another for at least a few weeks. That is why I was blessed with this ARC because I was content and wasn't asking for anything more. I really am, too, because Stray Omega was sooooo good.
Stray Omega is a Quarantine Omega book, and I'm unashamed to say these books are akin to a crack addiction to me. My smut love is on a full flag-waving when reading them, and I'm so happy when she publishes another. In this one, Lizzy stretches her imagination, and I like that a lot.
Much like the Ukkur Mates book, Stray Omega has an isolated character that lacks communication skills with those she meets. Lizzy skillfully handles the confusion and the frustration of Embla, the omega, in a way that I felt would be realistic. Now keep in mind that this is a Sci-fi book, so don't jump to a conclusion I'm saying all interactions are natural; I'm not. But I was impressed with the simplification of Embla's deductions in a complex world.
Now her Alphas, Ark sort of reminded me of Addom. I didn't hate that. I liked it a lot, in all honesty. Addom is one of my favorite Alphas. And Taliesin, Hines, and Sloane all come back to play a part in Stray Omega, which made me so happy to see Taliesin again. Oh, hearts and doodles do I love that Alpha. But Embla's Alpha's are a tad bit less feral than most. Maybe that is because she is so wild. Stray Omega is a tamer book, sexually speaking. Don't be sad; tamer isn't lamer. Leros and Orwen are still dirty Alphas.
I'm not telling you anything about Seraph--read the damn book.
So come back to the Ruins. It's time to return to the Central Tribe. I recommend it because everyone who loves a little smut in their Sci-fi needs Lizzy in their lives.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary advance copy of this book.
The writing and editing of the ARC version of the manuscript was clean, with no typos that I found and well constructed sentences. The world building was vivid, with the forest and wilds coming to life for this reader. The characterization was okay, with the heroine and three heroes being sympathetic if not especially nuanced. The development of the romantic relationship was hot and dark, with the heat level rating at five chili peppers. The plot and pacing were both quick and exciting. There were high stakes throughout and low angst, which tends to be one of my preferred narrative structures for a romance novel. This novel used the Kidnapping trope and the Pet trope. The world building, plot and pacing were all four stars. The characterization was three stars and the development of the romantic relationship was four stars. Characterization is commonly a challenge in reverse harem romances, since there are typically four or more protagonists. I therefore gave this novel a combined rating of four stars. This novel ended on a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger ending, so that was a big plus. I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy omegaverse romances with vivid sci-fi world building and high stakes. I look forward to reading the next book in this series when it releases. I will buy myself a keeper copy of this novel.

I was sent a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review. In this story we meet a feral young woman who helped Hines escape in a previous book but never knew who she was or where she came from. Stray Omega introduces us to Embla. She is living alone off the land, scavenging for food and generally making a pretty good show of being able to look after herself. But she is a young omega and she comes into heat. Normally she hides herself deep underground where she can't be sensed by Alphas, but with her heat coming on, she decides to take a risk and steal some food from three Alphas while they sleep. Unfortunately she gets caught and so starts the story of her future life in the company of head Alpha Ark and his two pack brothers - Leros, a youngster and Orwen, a grumpy Alpha who trusts nobody except his two pack brothers. Definitely doesn't trust a female he is convinced is a Farlander. The challenges they all face - Embla's heat, and the ultimate return to The Ruins make for exceptionally good reading. As with all of Lizzy's books this is one that falls into the category of Can't-Put-It-Down-Not-Even-For-Food-Or-Sleep. Lizzy is my number # favorite author and I can't recommend her books strongly enough.
POV: multiple HUMOR: yes F BOMBS: yes CLIFFHANGER: no NEW AUTHOR FOR ME: no TRIGGERS: taken captive, MFMM (no MM), discipline/spanking, knotting
Ongoing series on SynerGen and the Quarantine wall. To get a better understanding of the series, repeat characters, and the bigger story, it's recommended to read the books in order.
This book reminded me of book 1 in that they both had: similar alpha characters (1 leader, 1 young lad, and 1 mean alpha), the packs went to the same secret grotto/waterfall for sexy time and bathing, the young alpha gathered the berries to feed the omega, in both - the mean alpha had a reason to hate the omega in the beginning.
Even though this book was a little confusing because the timeline intersects a bit before book 3's epilogue, it was more emotional and memories pull on heart strings. Loved the interactions between Embla and her dog friends. Also, had the added element of a jealous suitor. Still, great series and can't wait to read the next one.

Im so glad we finally get to read Emblas story. Her character first comes to light saving Hines and her men in one of the previous stories. I just loved her character she is strong, sassy and although she dosnt know many words she certainly is quiet a capable person of living in the woods by herself. Till the day is is caught stealing from the three Alphas. Ark who is leader of the pack dosnt quiet know what to do with her, but accidently marks her one night during her heat. Orwen a grumpy man who never smiles and seems like he carries a lot of baggage on his shoulders. And last of all theres the youngest Leros who is a Virgin, but when Emblas heat comes in he is the first to be shown how to be a man!! I really enjoyed this story once more, and whats more, if you have read the previous books you would of heard of the source..... well theres a wonderful twist with the source in this story as well, so really it is a must read book in my opinion. Its definately hot hot hot with a great HEA.
This is the latest Lizzy Bequin's Quarantine Omega series. I think it is the best one yet.
Embla is a stray omega. Like other Bequin's FMC, she is good hearted and strong with unfortunate past. She was first introduced in previous story when she helped other omega and her alphas escape. I am happy to see that Embla get her happily ever after with her Alphas. I can say with confidence that Embla is my most favourite FMC in Quarantine series.
........Probably spoilers below..... . . . - I totally love the scene when Embla was first caught by the Alphas. It was tense and emotional.
- Also love the part when Embla's past was revealed.
- Love the grovel scene. Serve him right.
I hope Lizzy Bequin will continue with the series. The big story arch is interesting. And SERAPH!! Is a very intriguing character. Not sure if it is possible that he will get his own story.
This is a standalone story but it is part of a four book series that has an ongoing storyline. Your enjoyment will definitely be greater if you have read the previous books in the series. I have to say that this is my favorite book of the series. The characters are well developed and you can’t help but get wrapped up in the story from the beginning. Reading about the personal growth of a character is a favorite of mine, and we get two characters that we see change for the better. The book evoked many emotions, including sadness and tears, laughter, pity, and passion. The world building is so detailed that it is easy to imagine the many locations described in the book. Just a warning, you will get so caught up in the story that you won’t want to put it down until the happy ending.

We briefly meet Embla in a previous book when she saves Hines and her Alpha's from Farlanders.
This book continues to expand on the world building of the Zone and Outsiders thirst for dominance. Seraph is building in its power and it's corporeal transition was cleverly done and believable.
There is another reverse harem troupe, with the trio of alphas sticking to the usual setup of buff and older alpha, the second in command grumpy with an edge and the young eager man-child. Embla was a little different to past omegas, she was born in the Zone, so there was more backstory and no drama around her "turning" into a omega, but her acceptance of the alphas were no less problematic.
Overall, a good continuation of the story with snippets of interest and a ticking plot line for the future.
I like it! This book is actually sweeter than most book in the series. A wild orphanage omega and three alpha who claimed her.
Light angst when Orwen tries to denied her and his own claim for old hurt from his childhood. And how a betrayel inside the Ruins cause Embla captivity.
The heat definitly have steamy hot as always with omegaverse.
Love sweet and innocent Embla. I can picture her surviving in the woods all by her self quite vividly. While the alpha hold a littlemore culture ways than her. Good chemistry. One thing i can easily take with omegaverse is their bond are different. Theres no need "i love you" for that bond.
Overall, i like the whole world Lizzy take of Omegaverse.

This is a great addition to the series! Embla is an omega that has been on her own in the wilderness for years. When she is caught by Ark, Orwen and Leros, her days of being on the run are gone. Ark tries to be gentle with Embla, but his hormones get in the way. Orwen has issues of his own and it takes an intercession by Seraph before he understands Embla. Leros is a young alpha who finds himself loving Embla from the beginning. He gets a lot of guidance from Ark when Embla goes into heat. They take her back to the ruined city and there she meets the other omegas and alphas. After some ups and downs, there is a HEA for the foursome. I hope the next book is about the jealous omega, Jora.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is another great addition to the Quarantine Omega series. It is about Embla, an omega, and the three alphas who find and claim her. She is a strong and compassionate person but remains in hiding because of her status. She has been on her own for a while. Ark, Leros and Orwen are the alphas who claim and want to keep her. Her heat is approaching and any chance to deny them will be gone. Danger is lurking in the shadows. The alphas will have to keep her safe and get past the threat to them all. I enjoyed this book

I really enjoyed reading this book. From page one your pulled right into the action. As we see Embla trying to steal food from three big hot Alphas, right before her heat is about to kick in. When she stops to take a peek under one of the Alphas loincloths, that's when things kick off. We see Ark, Orwen and Leros all gl through many different reactions to Embla the worst being Orwen. Even so the book contains many steamy moments between all four of them. Plus once back in the city things get twisty and go wrong for Embla, Ark and Leros. But in the end we see Orwen change and get to read a great happy ending.
The little imp finally has her story and has been claimed by her alphas: Ark, Orwen and Leros. Ark was the leader of the trio, he was also wise and strong; Orwen was the grumpy one, the alpha who was hiding a hurt; and, Leros, the youngest of the alphas, the playful one.
It wasn't easy taming their Embla, after all she is not your typical Omega, and Ark has his hands full dealing with Embla and Orwen plus the Outsiders and a petty Omega. Embla might not have a big vocabulary but she has a heart of gold and she loved her alpha. She was perfect for our three wandering alphas.

I am so hooked by this series, can't wait to see where this is headed. I love seeing Embla's story after her appearance in Hines' story and finding out how she ended up out there all alone. Her"finding" her Alphas and the journey of acceptance and Orwen's battle to conquer his demons since he thinks that she's a Farlander and struggles to get over his hate all the while fighting the attraction that he feels for the little omega. There are layers upon layers that make this so much more. Still darky erotic, full of action and adventure and moving to the culmination of a final conflict between the Outsiders and the Zone. The characters and worldbuilding are spot on. A must read!

Alphas' Ark, Leros and Orwen take the omega Embla when they find her alone, unclaimed and approaching her heat. Orwen has his doubts about her till the Source shows him her past.... and present. Then the race is on to rescue Ark, Leros and Embla from the humans plans. The DoD surely will have a lot to answer for :) I did find the speed of Joras' change of heart a bit unlikely. And that AI Seraph def. has a few plans up its figurative sleeve. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
We find that this story is about Embla. Fast paced story with a great storyline. Each story has built on the story before. I love meeting the characters from the other book again. The plot has lots of twists and turns, jealousies, action, innocence, lust, love and some mystery. Embla has experienced lots in her life and some incredible tragedy. She's a strong character. Her alpha males are hot and the steam is hotter. I can't wait to read the next story. I received an ARC copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I really enjoyed it and I was excited to read Embla's story. It had a little of everything. Jealously, lust, love, action, and innocence. Embla and Orwen went through some nasty things in their childhood and Seraph was one of the heroes. I can't wait to read the next one. Some bad things are coming and I want to see what happens.

This is yet another masterpiece by Lizzy Bequin. How she continues to put them out as such a fast rate astounds me. The characters were amazing, and their journey throughout the story, as the plot progresses, was wonderful to read. The plot was, as always, well done, and I look forward to seeing what happens next in the Zone. The introduction of Seraph into a more physical role was unexpected, but I can’t wait to see more!

This is the 4th book in the series but it can be read as a standalone. Embla does what she must to survive, foraging, scavenging and even stealing. She is also hiding the fact that she is an Omega, what will happen when she is discovered by 3 alphas who plan to claim her? Fast-paced read with lots of drama, suspense and steam. Great characters and a sizzling story. I liked it.
I was hoping the wild omega would get a main role in a book. I love this series as the worldbuilding is amazing and I like the different take on omegaverse. Love the diverse men in this book. I'm rather taken with Ark, then again I have a thing for dominant possessive men..

I loved this book. It was my favorite in the series so far. Embla had so much to over come and learn and the adventure was an amazing story. If you love omega reverse harems I highly suggest reading this book. Definitely read them in order so you can see how wonderful this series is. I can't wait to read the next stories in this series.
