Heated Touch #2
Devoted
Nate is either extremely foolish or extremely fortunate—he’ll find out soon enough. In his defense, he doesn’t have a choice. One squeeze of a hand and he’s lost, ready to follow Caleb anywhere, do anything… Except His Excellency Caleb Massoud is the least available man in the Northwest. He’s young and beautiful, outrageously rich, surrounded by security detail, and bound by the strict rulebook of his conservative family. Loving Caleb is forbidden, a sacrilege. But what if Caleb returns Nate’s feelings?
Entangled in secrets and his parents’ demands, Caleb can barely breathe. His heat is approaching, and the hormones are messing with his head and body, while his fathers insist he must marry now. As the only omega son and heir, Caleb is supposed to stay pure until he chooses one of the pre-approved alphas. Instead, he’s burning with all-consuming lust for an older, liberal American without any wealth or connections. And Nate desires him back—it’s clearly written in his eyes. Caleb has been the docile omega long enough. It’s time to smash the golden cage and take what he wants.

This book is hotter than the hottest day in Death Valley.
Caleb is not afraid to be Nate's filthy cumslut, and Nate flogs Caleb with abandon while whispering dirty promises in his ear.
Every Alpha/omega book I've read is tame when compared to Horvat's omegaverse breeding extravaganza. When I say I expect omegaverse stories to be SEXY AF, this is what I mean.
And while the sex takes up a lot of page time, we still get a nice lead-in wherein the MCs eye-fuck each other; complex family dynamics between Caleb and his two fathers; a sprinkle of danger and urgency; well-rounded characters; and romance in spades.
Horvat has mastered the art of writing porn WITH plot.
Warning: NSFW
Final note: Please don't read this book and then complain it has too much sex. Don't be that asshole.

“The second you entered my studio three months ago, you turned my world upside down. I knew my chances were next to nothing, but I didn’t even try to fight it. I fell for you, Caleb, and you changed me. Everything I am, everything I stand for, everything I’ve ever wished for, it’s all overthrown because now you are the most important. I want to build a life with you, Caleb.”
what a way to start the month of september.
omegaverse and erotica are only a good combination for me if roe horvat writes it.
all the books i’ve read from this author are, how i call it, soft porn. they’re filthy, naughty, and sexy, but also soft, tender, and sweet. our characters fall for each other early on, but their emotional development grows with every other page. here, it was no different. no matter how quick both nate and caleb grew a mutual attraction, it’s easy to see and feel how efficient their bond is. i love how much the author writes about the characters to make them have their unique attributes and character traits. all in all, i love this author’s writing and his unique ability to craft these stories. the way his characters are sluts for each other is how i feel about his writing. always nailing it with tropes and themes, there is never a doubt that horvat’s erotic writing will be praise worthy.
while devoted may seem similar in terms of the smut and sex to his other books, i found it entirely new, despite how i’ve come to familiarize myself with the way he writes his steamy scenes. here we have a couple things that are expected in many other roe books—insta love/lust, alpha/omega, age-gap, size difference, heats, knotting, and, of course, mpreg. yet, with all this no longer being relevantly new, it still manages to convey different emotions and feelings throughout the short story. starting off with the characters, we have nate and caleb, who do have different power dynamics but don’t always show it. that’s already one thing i love about this authors omegaverse universes. he doesn’t use the a/b/o power dynamics for the characters advantages, but instead uses them for their own benefit and pleasure.
“This right here. That’s what I need. Your love. I don’t need anything else.”
i loved seeing how equal nate and caleb are, despite nate being older and the alpha, and caleb being younger and an omega raised to obey his husband. maybe it’s because of the way they’re written, no doubt being the pining, longing, and ache the characters have for each other. i am always in awe of how roe writes his men, always being whipped and simps (literally no other way to put it). from the beginning, the pining is exquisite. it’s full, raw, and aching. it’s soothing, desperate, and yearning. nate’s devotion to caleb is a delight. he worships every step caleb takes, learns every little move he takes and engraves it to his mind. he would have his own caleb shrine if he could. essentially, caleb is nate’s temple—his very own worship center, a man worthy of his praise, time, and love. nate would drop in front of caleb’s knees in front of everyone if he had to. that man would bow down and lick his shoes clean if caleb told him to do so. he’d walk around the earth to make sure caleb is safe and secure from the hardships of the world.
He was my grand reward, my holy grail, my forever. He was the happiness I’d sought and never thought I could have.
nate is completely clueless of caleb’s reciprocation though, of course, cause caleb also feels that strong urge and desire in every way. caleb’s longing is different, and i wasn’t a fan of it as much as i was of nate’s (these age gaps have me on a chokehold for this reason and more). nonetheless, it was adorably naughty. it showed how beautiful the dynamic was shifted between them in an equal manner. the best part of caleb’s desire was his complete submission. he gave himself to caleb in a swift manner. that boy had no shame being used and called nate’s fuck toy, horny cum slut, and filthy whore. and honestly, good for him.
“What would people say if they saw you now, Caleb? Spit’s running down your chin, your skin covered with my handprints, and your fucked-out hole’s so loose it’s dripping juices all over my nicest suit pants. Your poor cock drools cum as if you were in heat… They’d think you’re a filthy, depraved slut.”
it isn’t so much about how caleb felt like nate’s possession, but how he wanted to break the boundary and rule of purity, innocence, and virginity. despite how Innocent is the third book in the series and follows zana and navid, caleb’s parents, i can’t say i’ve been super thrilled to read it. i don’t like their conservatism and strict religious belief. they’ve imposed too much on caleb that it’s made him feel ashamed of who he is, what he wants, and his desires. but, the good thing is how accepting nate is of it all, as well as how equal he is. there is no single possession between them, and seeing how equal yet different the two are only added strength to their relationship. no matter how possessive nate got of caleb and how submissive caleb was to nate, there wasn’t ever a moment where nate felt like he owned caleb completely that he chose what he did with him. and that is what i loved (and love) about this. adding on to that, i love the message about it all. how passionate caleb is about not letting himself be used and saved for someone’s benefit only and not his was beautiful. i loved his strength, courage and bravery on going against his dad and father. his “rebellious” acts (having sex before marriage, marrying behind their back, falling in love with someone his parents didn’t choose, marrying a liberal, etc) reminded me of modern society, even, and how common all these rules still are. it doesn’t matter how erotic this story is. it’s still full of political awareness that i know the author is also passionate about. yet, it doesn’t take over it all, and it doesn’t make the story less enjoyable or too info-dumpey. it adds awareness without feeling overwhelming.
“Purity is nonsense. A ridiculous, meaningless rule. My love for you—that’s pure. I’ve never felt as true as when I gave myself to you, Nate. In your arms, joined with you, I’m honest and alive.”
nate and caleb are two of my favorite couples from horvat. they were sweet and tender, but also rough and passionate. the possession was nothing new and expected from roe, but it was still delighting to read. the craving they both desired is hot, and it was so easy to get lost in the world these two created for themselves. when this author says erotic, he means it. no matter how queasy this genre can make me, horvat’s feels different. it’s unique, a blend of emotional and sexual, with a balance of the two that don’t over power each other. i am always in awe of how this author creates his worlds. you can catch me giggling and squealing at how one moment caleb will be begging for nate to fit his monster cock till he feels it in his womb and the next nate is peppering his body with kisses as he spoons him.
“You belong to me. You gave yourself to me, and you can never take it back. I own your gorgeous, sinful lips. Your delicious cock. Your nipples are mine to suck on, your beautiful ass mine to kiss and beat up and fuck hard. And I own your virgin womb, love. When you go into heat, I’ll fuck it open and soak it with my cum. You’ll love me for it so much. Even more than you love me now. I own your body. Your pleasure, your pain, every drop of slick. Mine. Your womb is meant for my cum.”

I knew this was going to be explicit and erotic. I knew this was going to be 95% smex and 5% plot. I was all set for some ABO yumminess and KNOTTING, and we get that here. I promise.
What I wasn’t expecting was the other kink which does absolutely nothing for me.
Be reassured that this is classic Horvat erotica. Even though I didn’t get what I wanted, many have and I’m confident many more will! Enjoy!

Roe Hovat has created one of the most interesting and well thought out worlds in his series of Omegaverse romances. Every aspect of the cutlure, every detail of sexual function specific to alpha and omegas coupling, is beautifully described in these romantic gems.
Each of these stories stands alone, and while it’s not necessary to read Caleb's First before Devoted, I’ve got to recommend you do, just to understand the importance of Caleb’s friendship with Walter. (Plus it’s an excellent short story!)
Caleb Massaud is an omega from a wealthy and powerful family. Torn between his family’s rigid and traditional upbringing, and his independent and free spirited nature, I especially enjoyed the part of the story which focuses around his family drama.
Mr. Horvat delves into an exploration of the traditional roles of the alpha and omega in this society. As the subservient partner, the omega is expected to bow to his alpha's (or parents') demands, an unequal and docile partner. The discussions about free will and the freedom to explore one’s desires honestly and openly are fascinating and beautifully written.
Roe Horvat writes some of the best erotica I’ve ever read. His descriptions of the intensity and variety of sensations these two characters experience, from alternating points of views, is truly incredible. Flowing beautifully from scene to scene, the way the intimacy increases as Caleb and Nate openly share their experiences is stunning.
Hopefully we’ll get a Walter Sébastien story again soon. Roe Horvat has laid the groundwork for his happily ever after, and I can’t wait for this generous and intriguing man to find some true peace.

⭐️ 3 stars ⭐️
Typical Roe Horvat, all dripping slick and heat and holes, but with extra extra cheesiness. Devoted was wayyy too sweet for me, too insta-love, too fast-paced.
There was a bit of drama, but it was like a classic princess story — princess falls for the low-class guy, parents disapprove, ‘but father, I love him’ , they elope, blah blah. Wasn’t what I was looking for, and was probably my least favorite I’ve read by this author. Still had its good moments, but was lacking something.
The smut, as always, was plenty. So much smut that it all starts to blend together and you’re thinking ‘oh more slick & cum, nice. But when does it end?’
Overall, just too sweet and insta for me.
CW and tropes (spoilers):
- Omegaverse (w/ mpreg)
- Size difference
- Age gap (13 years)
- Insta-love
- Vers MCs (one switch scene)
- Rimming
- Coming hands-free & multiple orgasms
- Spanking & impact play
- Heat sex
- Breeding
Reading update — «He lost control. I had to pin him to the marble top with my arm over his abdomen, or he’d fall off it like a flopping fish.»
LMAO, now that’s a weird-ass visual I won’t be able to stop thinking about 🐟
Caleb Massoud wasn’t for me to admire. Unattainable. Forbidden. I needed to rein in the attraction I felt, or I’d never see him again.

“Caleb, I’m so fucking in love with you.” He chuckled, a low, tired sound. “I know. I figured when you asked me to marry you an hour after our first kiss.”

This was just beautiful. To be real, this book won’t be for everyone but I’m so happy that it worked out for me. When this author said erotic, it was definitely erotic.

Another exceptional entry in this thoroughly entertaining omegaverse series from Roe.
As with the others, sex is a primary driver throughout the narrative and - with the same consummate skill he has with erotica - Roe weaves a clever and intricate plot around it.
Sex happens a lot, but each time it occurs, it offers up a new insight into the way Caleb and Nathaniel make their emotional bonds stronger.
This has some seriously filthy encounters and the dirty talk is off the charts rich with both lustful need and love.
Walter is here in all his gloriously sarcastic ways, but he also proves himself a true friend to Caleb when his parents are less than happy with his choice of Nate.
I can't wait for the man who finally stops Walter in his tracks!

4.2❤️ It's very hot here🥵
This is an omegaverse.
At first I felt a bit of rush and instant love (which I don't like), but when they start a relationship and communicate and share with each other, I was grateful. In the second half there is more depth between them. And in the last chapters, they are emotional conversations with second characters and I definitely liked them.
Caleb has always wanted to be free and marry out of love and choice. And Nate, he is very patient to listen and give with his heart, and oh my God, Walter, I wait for your book.

⭐️ 5/5 🌶 5/5 (Huge shout out to THAT DICK.)
Okay, listen—this book?? This book is my crack. This isn't just omegaverse fluff, this is melt-your-heart, hold-me-forever kinda love. We got Nate—older, sweet, solid as hell—and Caleb—royalty with charm, class, and confidence oozing outta every word he says. 😍❤️
The title “Devoted” isn’t just for show, okay? Nate saw Caleb and BOOM—love at first sight. Nate? Green flag? No, bitch, he's a whole damn forest. A gentle, steady, emotionally mature man who lays his heart at Caleb's feet without hesitation. He's not unhinged or obsessive—he's just in love, hard and fast. No games, no weird toxic alpha energy. Just pure, grounded, affectionate goodness that made me wanna scream into a pillow and call my therapist. Like bro, where do I order one? 😫🫠
And Caleb? He's confident, he knows what he wants, and he gets it—but he does it with elegance and grace. He's royalty, refined as hell, raised with manners, but still values his freedom and independence. He never comes on too strong, but you know he's in control of his shit. I adored him. 👑🥰
But don’t let Caleb’s soft exterior fool you—he’s a lil’ pain and degradation slut. He asked for spanking during sex, and Nate delivered and then some with some light flogging too, and damn did they both love that shit. Oh, and Nate? He’s packin’ a monster dick. Like, ten fuckin’ inches of curved, proportionally girthy destruction. Caleb literally enjoys the pain of being split in half by his Alpha’s meat stick. I was like “DID I READ THAT RIGHT??” and then reread it just for fun. *snorts* 🍆🐎
The separation anxiety during Caleb’s heat? Chef’s kiss. Nate losing his shit just because Caleb got up to pee and grab a glass of water?? I screamed. Like bro, calm your tits, he didn’t run away, damn. But also… YESSSS, give me all the clingy, possessive Alpha energy. Inject that shit right into my veins. 💉🩸
Their chemistry? Hot as fuck. The romance? Sweet, soft, and so fuckin’ tender it made my hopeless romantic heart melt into goo. I ate up every second of their little emotional meltdowns and desperate cuddling. No unnecessary 3rd act breakup drama, just pure comfort, heat, and love. Ugh, obsessed. ❤️🔥
If you’re into non-shifter omegaverse and you want a story that’s low on angst but high on feels, pheromones, possessiveness, and a dick that could double as a traffic cone? This one’s for you, babe. 😌😏

Roe Horvat does it again with his omegaverse series 😍
This was insta-love, typical omegaverse dynamic but also signature Roe Horvat so really dirty which I found balanced out the story. I will say that I enjoyed Precious a bit more (loved the cameo!!) and kind of skipped over some of the smut (there was a lot 😍) but I think this has more to do with the mood I was in than the book.
I really loved the development between Caleb and his parents as well as getting a glimpse of Navid and Zana's relationship when they were younger. Navid's story of their wedding night was so so precious, I'm so excited to read their book!!!

* 4 stars *
I'm not going to lie. The beginning of the book had me very skeptical. I don't read insta-love books because I know I can't get into the story and I end up rolling my eyes a lot. My one exception is paranormal books with fated mates and even then I sometimes struggle.
Here, Caleb and Nate aren't fated mates, they're just very attracted to each other and decide to start a relationship and be together. What didn't work for me at the beginning was the immediate declaration of love and the whole pace of the relationship which was very rushed and like a whirlwind affair that would soon crash and burn. Of course, with this being a romance, I knew this wasn't the case here and that the MCs' feelings wouldn't change.
Anyway, putting aside the fast pace of the relationship, this story takes place in an omegaverse and has all the trademark aspects of such a universe. What I like about Walter Sebastien's world - because that's how I think of of this series - is that even though it's basically erotica, there's still a solid plotline, characters with depth, unique personalities, aspirations and hopes, family relationships, customs and details about how that universe works.
Yes, there are a lot of sex scenes, but that's not all this book is. Caleb and Nate develop a relationship and it's clear how much they adore each other. They communicate, they share their thoughts, their fears and their hopes. They are supportive and protective of each other. Seeing their relationship gaining depth and solidifying made me feel more at ease with its pace. That's why the second half of the book worked so much better for me. The last few chapters strengthened their bond even more and there were some emotional conversations involving side characters that I'm glad we got to read.
The epilogue was very nice, it was a glimpse of Caleb and Nate a few years down the line and it was satisfying to find out their fast start wasn't a mistake or an impulse but rather a very good decision that worked out for both of them.
Of course this book couldn't leave out Walter, who makes quite a few and very significant appearances. He's unapologetic as ever, crash and seemingly unaffected my much. He's also helpfull, caring and protective of his friends. He's getting a book and hopefully his much-deserved HEA with a man of his own!

Of course, with this being a romance, I knew this wasn't the case here and that the MCs' feelings wouldn't change.
Anyway, putting aside the fast pace of the relationship, this story takes place in an omegaverse and has all the trademark aspects of such a universe. What I like about Walter Sebastien's world - because that's how I think of of this series - is that even though it's basically erotica, there's still a solid plotline, characters with depth, unique personalities, aspirations and hopes, family relationships, customs and details about how that universe works.
Yes, there are a lot of sex scenes, but that's not all this book is. Caleb and Nate develop a relationship and it's clear how much they adore each other. They communicate, they share their thoughts, their fears and their hopes. They are supportive and protective of each other. Seeing their relationship gaining depth and solidifying made me feel more at ease with its pace. That's why the second half of the book worked so much better for me. The last few chapters strengthened their bond even more and there were some emotional conversations involving side characters that I'm glad we got to read.
The epilogue was very nice, it was a glimpse of Caleb and Nate a few years down the line and it was satisfying to find out their fast start wasn't a mistake or an impulse but rather a very good decision that worked out for both of them.
Of course this book couldn't leave out Walter, who makes quite a few and very significant appearances. He's unapologetic as ever, crash and seemingly unaffected my much. He's also helpfull, caring and protective of his friends. He's getting a book and hopefully his much-deserved HEA with a man of his own!

O.M.G. ! This is so hot, you'll need a fan a few times !
Caleb is a young Omega...
who will be coming into his heat, and being pressured by his father to marry their chosen Alpha.
Alpha Nate/Nathaniel,
is a professional photographer, who meets Caleb, and they are instantly in need of each other as "fated mates."
They hide their get-togethers, work alongside each other and are very careful.
Then the hot sex scenes are scorching, sizzling and stupendous,
with erotic play, toys, explicit descriptions, knotting, and marathon sessions of pleasure.
After they finally confront Caleb's fathers, they are immediately on the run, because one father has hired men to get Caleb back.
Caleb...
Caleb's bodyguard helps them, and another finds them a safe place.
Once alone the marathons of sex are continuing.
Will they keep safe? What will happen once Nate is fertile? Will Caleb retain his wealth, or be outcast?
We learn more about the confines of their rules.
This is super sexy, with guys we care about and want them to succeed. They are perfect for each other.
I highly recommend this sexy tale of an omegaverse.
ENJOY !

5 stars and another 5 for the cover because look at it, stunning!!!
What an amazing narrative, this author writes the most intense, passionate, sexual scenes, they take my breath away literally. Hot steamy, kinky delicious dirty.
But there are not only erotic moments there are also highly romantic ones and there is a story to tell.
Caleb’s parents are religious and his upbringing ditto, his future was already mapped out by his fathers. Caleb is a free spirit omega, who wants to be free and choose his own partner. When he meets photographer alpha Nate there is an instant attraction.
When he gets into his heat he wants nothing more than have Nate with him.
With the help from heat teacher Walter Sébastien, they can be together. It’s no question, they are fated, mates.
What follows is impossible to describe without drooling. Super intense and deliciously erotic.
His omega father is not amused.
At some point in this story we meet Micah and Travis again yeah
Such a stunning story, not too heavy-loaded, it felt plausible, the redeeming was greatly done. The love was strong and unbreakable, thank goodness.
It was a solid story, with varied encounters, not once repetitive, intense to the extreme, bow for that! It was consistent and had a good pace.
Another winner from this author’s hand.

This is typical Roe Horvat erotica:
Boiling hot, highly satisfying and never-ending sex is the main course, with the love story a tasty side dish.
We met Caleb in an earlier novella, so it was lovely to see him find the man Walter, the heat teacher, promised him during his first heat.
Again, there’s the theme of defying your parents for love (similar to ‘Precious’), but not too much comes of them threatening Caleb and Nate’s relationship. The very early ILYs seem to come on rather unexpectedly (not even talking of , but I guess both men have been pining for each other for at least three months.
If you’re in the mood for some fabulously written erotica with lots of feels, Roe is always a great choice!

spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
format: ebook
in a slump and i’m 99.9% sure that contributed to my overall feelings of this book.
nate and caleb were cute but not enough to keep my attention. 11 days to read a book that’s less than 300 pages is actually insane for me.
this is straight spice and fluff, so if you’re just looking for vibes this is perfect.

Erotica w a bit of plot. Not written badly, just really not my jam. I like fated mates so I rolled with the insta-love but the constant "I love yous" and sappy words of endearments got on my nerves. "Oh pumpkin I love you so much. No, pookie I love you more. No, honey bear I love You more" ad nauseum. 🤮 🤮

3 Liked it Stars! 👍🏻👍🏻 It was HAWT 🔥 🔥 as expected.. full of all the Omegaverse erotica as expected.. but for me the kinky BDSM was a bit of a mood killer. Overall I’ll say it was a great addition to this series by Roe Horvat. But it was a little similar to the previous book, even the location.. so it seemed repetitive and I anyway skipped the BDSM part.. Recommended for specific fans only I guess 👍🏻

Roe once again brings his A game for the next full-length story in his omegaverse-set world. He has such a great way of combining such explicit erotica and then such sweet romance between his characters, that's what I always love most about his stories.
I really loved Caleb - he was a strong, independent omega who wasn't going to just accept the life that his very traditional and conservative fathers planned out for him. And I loved the early days of his friendship-turned-more with Nate. They had such a sweet and then very hot connection, great chemistry together.
Yes, omegaverse isn't for everyone, but I do think that Roe has done a great job setting up the worldbuilding and the "rules" within this 'verse, and it just kinda works. Crazy heats, lots of ABO tropes and what you'd expect, and a bit of kink rolled into this one, too.
Now we just need Walter, the heat teacher and helper, to find his own HEA!!
I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.

This one dragged for me. I think it was just too fluffy. I was dying for snipets of the story inbetween the sex. The sex was definitely hot and I enjoyed it, but the whole thing was a bit meh.

So this was interesting.
This was my very first paranormal romance and though I was sceptical I really did enjoy it. The writing is spectacular and the story is really nice.
Though I had to Google a lot of specifics regarding omegas and alphas, I did enjoy the reading very much.

Listen, it wasn't really even the endless sex (although good god) but instead the wtf instalove that made me laugh in disbelief.
Like I fully expected a sexfest but I also thought there would at least a slice of plot, y'know. Like at least a sliver. But no, these two are fully in love and ready to get hitched after their first kiss. Sure, you do you, good for you, but excuse me. I was excited for this thinking we'd get some delicious pining and angsty forbidden love, but it really wasn't. I skimmed to the end and didn't even enjoy the smut. This was clearly not the book for me but if Walter gets his own book, I do plan on reading it. I just hope it's completely different to this.

Freaking hell this was filthy.
I loved it.
I have a lot of anatomy questions and some concerns for Calebs internal organs but I’m just going to ignore all that because it was somehow simultaneously the fluffiest and raunchiest book I’ve read in awhile.

Con gran dolor del corazón le voy a poner dos estrellas teniendo en cuenta quien escribe me cuesta mucho , pero si bien ya partimos del hecho de que la historia va a ser fantástica y fantasiosa no me esperaba que fuese tan sumamente infantil en el desarrollo y los diálogos.
Porno y más porno, bien escrito pero sin "chicha"...... Por eso tan pocas estrellas, la historia es simplemente simple.

3.75 stars rounded up to 4
(omegaverse, class differences, cross cultural relationship, interfaith marriage, erotic romance)
”The reality struck me with full force.
Caleb Massoud was the man I’d fallen in love with the second I’d seen him, the man I wanted like I’d never wanted anyone before. And he lay naked in front of me, exposed and trusting, whispering my name.”
Roe Horvat has a talent for delivering scorching hot smut within a tender love story. Nate Bernal, a liberal American photographer, is captivated by His Excellency Caleb Massoud, an omega, from their very first meeting. The gulf between them is immense and Nate knows that he stands no chance. Their attraction deepens as they work together over several months to document Caleb's charitable work. Everything comes to a head one night when they declare their feelings for each other just before Caleb goes into heat. Caleb's heat triggers a frenzy of hot, wall-to-wall omegaverse sex.
I love how Caleb is a modern, independent prince who rejects the traditional strictures on omegas of his conservative Muslim family. He doesn't want to be bound by restrictive notions of purity. He wants to fall in love and choose a husband who will respect his views and spirit. And Nate is all of that and more. He is devoted to Caleb and worships the ground he walks on. He doesn't shame him for his voracious sexual desires. Nate's willing to fulfill Caleb's every fantasy and need.

A love story between a prince and a photographer.
MM omegaverse, no women, no shifting, erotica, with light bdsm, knotting, mpreg, and dirty talk with slut shaming. This story had a bit more plot that just smut, it had a very interesting cultural/political slant.
A small cameo of the couple from book one.

Omegaverse, disapproving parents, eloping, Horny picture taking, intense heat, emotional horniness, fated mates are a myth and yet here we are, enormous peen, no kids
Caleb and Tate are adorable. The book is pretty standard Roe Horvat fare complete with weeks long heat, low angst and giant peen. The heat cabin even gets a reuse. Would recommend.
