growing repetitive
This is starting to be wash rinse repeat for every book. Also missing the part of the omegaverse everyone wants hot sizzling sex and not at 70% of the book. Sorry but you know why you read this.
Starting to tire of it but will try the next because Wyatt seems pretty interesting.

This was okay - right there in the middle. Lili was a little hard to warm up to at first. I liked Xander; he seems like the most down to earth alpha in the series.

Probably my favorite of this series.
I liked the dynamic of Xander and Lili. Lili did get annoying at times because she judgmental of Xander. But overall, I liked this story and thought it was paced well. I loved the introduction of Wyatt and look forward to his story next.

I am so loving this series.
Wow this series just keeps getting better and better. If you are reading my review this series is a spin-off from another series The Boundarylands Omegaverse. That was a great series as well. But this one just makes me think and appreciate life. Alphas being locked up for years. Tortured, experimented on, mistreated all because they were different. It was sad that Lili life was smeared because of the lies but she finally found her purpose in life. Great read. Can’t wait to read Wyatt’s story.

The characters didn't mesh all that well for me. Xander was completely self centered and never gave a single thought to Lili and all the things she was giving up until someone else pointed it out.
I've read every one of Callie's books at this point and all of them pretty much have the some problem. They're basically just fluff pieces. Which is totally fine if that's all you want. The men are all self centered and the sex scenes are pretty much all the same. The women have to give up everything and the men's lives go on the same. One of my major beefs with her work is that the Alphas know how to do everything, like build furniture and tan hides and make bread for crying out loud, and they never make any wilderness or survival mistakes. They just know everything with no explanation. That's all well and good but all her characters are young, some very young, with no outdoor experience at all. As someone who lives in the mountains and has been learning all that stuff her whole life I feel like it's very unrealistic. Even a throw in like how to books on their shelves or maybe stuff that they accidentally did wrong would fix that. Maybe that's a weird hill to die on but that's my major beef with her stories. That and the completely illogical world building as far as the government goes and the boundary lands.

Xander ist auf dem Weg in das Ozark Gebirge, genauer gesagt in die neuen Boundarylands. Er wird von Beta-Soldaten gesucht und beschließt deshalb, sich in einem Umzugswagen zu verstecken, um unbemerkt seinem Ziel näher zu kommen. Dieser Umzugswagen gehört der nichtsahnenden Lilibeth, die gerade mit ihrem Hab und Gut auf dem Weg nach New York ist, um dort einen neuen Job anzutreten. Von ihrem blinden Passagier hat sie nichts mitbekommen. Als sie bei einer Straßensperre von Soldaten aufgehalten wird, und diese in ihrem Übersiedlungswagen Xander entdecken, bricht die Hölle los. Xander hat aufgrund der Ereignisse keine andere Wahl, als Lili als Geisel zu nehmen und sie dazu zu zwingen ihn in die Boundarylands zu bringen. Für Lili fühlt sich die Geiselnahme mehr als nur echt an, doch leider ist dies für die außenstehenden Soldaten und Behörden scheinbar nicht so offensichtlich, und sie wird während ihrer Flucht mit Xander öffentlich als Xander‘s Verbündete und Alpha Sympathisantin hingestellt. Somit ist ihre oberste Priorität, so schnell wie möglich die Boundarylands zu erreichen und Xander loszuwerden. Doch leider beginnen Lili’s Probleme dann erst so richtig, als sie realisiert, dass ihr Aufenthalt in den Boundarylands wohl doch viel länger dauern wird, als sie geplant hatte. Unter den aktuellen Umständen ist sie nirgends vor den Beta-Behörden sicherer als hier, wo der lange Arm des Gesetzes sie nicht erreichen kann. So hatte sich Lili ihre Übersiedlung nun wirklich nicht vorgestellt. Und als ob dies nicht schon genug wäre, sind da auch noch diese ständigen Spannungen und Wortgefechte zwischen ihr und Xander. Über die Anziehungskraft, die sie ihm gegenüber verspürt, will sie gar nicht erst nachdenken ……
Die Story von Xander und Lilibeth war süß, mir aber dann vielleicht doch ein kleines bisschen zu süß. Ja, Lili’s Freundschaft mit einem anderen Alpha war ein Handlungsstrang in dieser Geschichte, der mir besonders gut gefallen hat, aber sonst plätschert die Storyline hier einfach so vor sich hin. Lili’s Charakter, mit ihrem Pflichtbewusstsein ihrer Mutter gegenüber und dem Drang ständig in ihrem Leben alles zu planen und im Griff zu haben, hat mich sehr an mich selbst erinnert, was mir Lili nur noch näher gebracht hat. Zu Xander habe ich aber leider weniger den Zugang gefunden. Ich kann gar nicht den Finger darauf legen, woran es genau gelegen hat. Vielleicht hatte mir seine Person, in seiner zurückgezogenen und verschlossenen Art, einfach nicht genug Tiefe und für einen Alpha nach meinen Vorstellungen war er mir einfach viel zu kühl, wenn ist das mal so sagen darf.

'Estar cerca de ella era como estar en el centro de un huracán, todos sus pensamientos y necesidades en conflicto giraban a su alrededor.
Lo que no daría por sumergirse profundamente en esa tormenta, para cabalgar la tempestad hasta que ambos estuvieran sudorosos y magullados'.

Xander de Callie Rhodes Serie The unchained omegaverse libro 4
Argumento:
Atrapados y cazados, su única salida es juntos.
Todo lo que Xander quería eran unos momentos de paz después de una vida de dolor, pero el destino tenía otros planes. Cazado como un animal salvaje por las fuerzas beta, secuestra el primer medio de escape que se cruza en su camino.
Después de un par de años difíciles, Lilibeth finalmente está comenzando de nuevo. Después de conseguir el trabajo de sus sueños, se va a comenzar su nueva vida en el otro lado del país ... hasta que un alfa desesperado se estrella contra su nueva libertad y la toma como rehén.
El destino unió al par de opuestos, pero el tirón primario que los acerca se parece mucho al destino.
Una vez hubo límites ... pero ahora que sus cadenas están rotas, estos alfas se negaron a ser contenidos.
Mí humilde opinión:
Otro alfa que escapó del laboratorio encuentra la libertad y una mujer para convertir en su Omega. Había algo de acción y mucha pasión.
Estuvo bien, había algo de acción y mucha pasión pero me hubiera gustado que haya algo más que solo el desarrollo de la relación de los protagonistas.
Lo único que me sacó de las casillas fue la actitud de Lili, pufff su negación en todo lo referente al mundo de Xander me daban ganas de querer pegarle!
En general fue un libro entretenido.

Xander barely cast a shadow he had zero substance
I found this one so boring. Xander didn’t have anything Alpha about him, he just seemed sorta stunned and appeared to have very little going on upstairs, he didn’t seem dumb, just dull.
Lili was similarly boring, and unremarkable. The story was flat and boring and had no substance or intrigue. I am a super forgiving reader and can really get through anything for some good smut, I mean these are omegaverse books, what else would I be here for. So the smut when it did happen, was pretty boring 🥱 and not detailed and kinda vague. Did Xander have any superhuman alpha powers like the rest of them have? Nope, he could hear stuff, and smell her….like honestly this was offensively boring. It feels like maybe she had a deadline and had to get it out and just stayed up super late and got this out. I enjoy omegaverse, even badly written stuff, all I ask for is some good smut, some ABO trope stuff, and a interesting story, plot holes I can deal with them as long as you give what I came from. This was close to a “fade to black” or a “behind closed doors” type book. Rude! I will try the next but I’m dnf’ing if it’s the same as this.

🔥 “I'm going to take you, Lilibeth. All of you.”
~~~
I loved Lili so much! She’s one fiery and independent woman. I loved that she never gives up, no matter what life throws her way. And despite everything she’s been through, she remains so kind and caring. She’s amazing.
And Xander is the perfect match for her! He’s bossy, brooding, arrogant and fiercely protective. I loved how he was able to see beyond Lilibeth’s facade and discover the wonderful woman she truly is. I loved him!
I loved the development of their relationship. In the beginning, there was a lot of distrust between them. But I loved the way they got to know and accept each other. Their chemistry was amazing and the passion they shared was off-the-charts hot!
Overall, the story is another wonderful addition to the series. It’s filled with suspense, danger, fast-paced action, steamy romance and magnificent characters.
I couldn’t put it down and loved every page of it!

Excellent book
I simply love reading this series. It's it's on universe even here in the United States. The romances are hot and steamy yet each 1 of them has A lot of growth then human understanding. This is my favorite passage from this book
"It was as if Lili had burned everything she thought she knew about life, and from the ashes, tiny green shoots were starting to push up toward the sun. And this time, she would tend her hopes and dreams with willingness and curiosity and faith, rather than the weight of expectations and the fear of failure."

This story kind of feels like Stockholm syndrome but it doesn't project it. Their relationship is not toxic in that way because this is the omegaverse and because he gives her free will to choose And... It's a slippery slope with this one but I really liked Xander's personality.

THIS STORY WAS BLAH
I loved the the bounderyland series and the beginning of the unchained series was good, but they are starting to become redundant and less steamy. I like how Lili befriended another Alpha which was cool , but I feel like the whole story moves fast and was a tad bland. I was waiting for more bios up and and excitement. Romance was mediocre in comparison to the other stories. I hope Wyatt’s story is better.

Acceptance
Xander accepted who and what he was long before he became an alpha. The experiments made his see things in the now, and not long for a better future. Lili, on the other hand, saw her worth wrapped in the future of getting her mother and grandmother to a better life.
Meeting by clear happenstance changed both their thinking and came up with a much better plan...together!!!

Excellent series!
Killing is kidnapped by Xander and forced to drive him to the Ozarks. Her choices were him or being shot by soldiers, so she went with Xander. She spends a lot of time worrying over a job she's not even sure she wants. I liked her, but I wanted to throttle her too. I would habe liked to see her set up accounts to make the Alphas money or something like that.

Another great read from Callie. Lili did annoy the hell out of me for the first half of the book but then she finally came to her senses. I understand why she was the way she was but I just wanted her to hurry up and jump Xander's bones. Xander somehow had all the patience of a saint even if Lili did give him hell at first. A great story by then end.

Another great addition to the Unchained Omegaverse world! With so many books you'd think they would get boring or repetitive, but that isn't the case! Hot and great, I highly recommend.

Xander sure put Lilibeth through the wringer. The whole country seems to be pretty messed up if you ask me. Turns out.... Well read the story!

You can't go wrong with an Omegaverse book. They are all great reading. I love that they are shorter without a lot of twists and turns

I really didn’t like the male lead and very much felt like he ruined the female leads life. I’ve loved all the other books but this one did not hit right for me.

This book was pretty good. But I didn’t really like either character much, some things just rubbed me the wrong way. So that made it harder to enjoy their story.

Why Amazon insist on 20 words for a review via kindle, I don't know. Especially when I just want to say that I really enjoyed this book.
