Quando il sexy poliziotto alfa Sean salva un omega dall’essere sessualmente aggredito, non ha idea di cosa il destino abbia in serbo per lui… non un compagno, ma due.
Sean incontra Felix, un avvocato beta un po’ nerd, e Gia, un omega sfacciato, in circostanze inaspettate. Non è nemmeno alla ricerca di un fidanzato, tutt’altro, ma qualcosa scatta tra di loro, qualcosa di difficile da definire e impossibile da capire razionalmente. E non è nemmeno la cosa più strana che accade nel ranch che offre loro un posto sicuro. C’è qualcosa lì, nell’aria. Qualcosa di selvaggio e potente. Ma cos’è quel potere che sentono? Dopo aver affrontato insieme il calore di Gia, scoprono quali segreti nasconde il ranch, e devono fare una scelta. Quanta fiducia hanno nel destino? E il loro incontro breve ma esplosivo sarà sufficiente per qualcosa di duraturo, o la loro connessione svanirà?
Il Protettore di Gia è una novella (32k parole) ambientata nell’universo de Il Branco Hayes che può essere letta come standalone e ha il proprio finale. Nella linea temporale della serie, questa storia si inserisce subito dopo il quinto libro. Include un calore, della sfacciataggine, un po’ di azione, e tanto sentimento. E anche alcuni volti familiari ai fan della serie. I personaggi di questo libro appariranno nei prossimi libri della serie.
Would you like the long or the short version of my bio?
The short? You got it.
I write steamy gay romance books and I love it. I also love reading books. Books are everything.
How was that?
A little more detail? Gotcha.
I started writing my first stories when I was a teen…on a freaking typewriter. I still have these, and they’re adorably romantic. And bad, haha. Fear of failing kept me from following my dream to become a romance author, so you can imagine how proud and ecstatic I am that I finally overcame my fears and self doubt and did it. I adore my genre because I love writing and reading about flawed, strong men who are just a tad broken..but find their happy ever after anyway.
My favorite books to read are pretty much all MM/gay romances as long as it has a happy end. Kink is a plus… Aside from that, I also read a lot of nonfiction and not just books on writing. Popular psychology is a favorite topic of mine and so are self help and sociology.
Hobbies? Ain’t nobody got time for that. Just kidding. I love traveling, spending time near the ocean, and hiking. But I love books more.

“I’ve loved you both from the moment I saw you,” Felix said.
“I didn’t understand why and how, but I did.”
When Lidon's former partner, twenty-seven-year-old hot alpha, Detective Sean Lilienfield is on a stake-out with his current surly and much older partner, he does not expect to inadvertently become an Omega's Protector when he rescues him from becoming a victim of two predators who sense the mysterious gene that's targeting unsuspecting omegas. 😟 But, with the police force hot on his case for not only assailing an officer but acting out of line, he and the young and innocent omega, Gia, along with the assistance of a willing and eager beta, Felix, decide to seek refuge and sanctuary at Lidon's lavish but protective ranch. Curious by the intense draw they feel upon arriving, the trio quickly but surely learn about the story of fated mates and how it binds the three of them inexplicably but very assuredly together, even when it's impossible for them to comprehend how they it feels like their whole lives they've waited for each other. 🫶🏻🫶🏻
“They were connected, the three of them, their bodies as much as their souls.”
It's a very much insta-love and fast-paced relationship that does not hold much weight, save for giving a fresh, outside perspective of the already prevalent nature of the existing dynamics that co-exist within the confines of Lidon's property and how they feel duty-bound to be a part of Hayes pack and relish its otherworldly powers of 'instincts beyond anything I've ever seen, and so are his senses.' 🥺 I liked that once Gia discovered the phenomenon of fated mates, he did not immediately spring it upon his intended soul partners, but allowed them to feel the intense chemistry that was brewing between the three of them, before they accepted it as their natural destiny. Especially with his heat fast approaching, he felt no shyness or need for pretenses in expressing his joy and eagerness of having two willing partners in fueling his desire - an all-encompassing need that could only be sated when together - 'strangers, and yet they fit together seamlessly'... 🥹
They may not be the poster children for romance at how easily they settled into playing house and feeding their hunger for each other, without any question or doubt about their irresistible attraction. They have very different personalities, but they played off each other very nicely in an endearing and tender way. 'How else do I explain this but by accepting the inexplicable?' 🥰 Of course, it's always the beta who feels left out & not worthy enough, but Sean, the ever-bold and precocious alpha that he is, was quick and eager to show and prove to Felix just how attractive and desirable he was. I could have done without the nickname nerdy repeatedly said though. 😅 Their casual acceptance and willingness to give this a shot, because of how easily they felt connected and bound to one another was worth seeing - it’s all instincts, baby' - even if it takes quite big leaps in such a short time in terms of relationship development. But, when it's meant to be, even if it's 'hard to believe that something as intangible as fate could pick us for each other', because the urge to claim and hold and have is impossible to deny. ✨
“He didn’t need romance, not when he had his mates right there with him.”
Along with some slightly sexy times to heat up their intimacy, further proving how their hearts are full so full now by feeling complete, there's also a little bit of progress in the ongoing political conspiracies, as well as seeing the four founders embrace them with open arms into la familia, and some other familiar faces living up the dream of their happy and content roles of their fated partners. 🩶🤍 It's always a pleasure seeing Paladin and Enar make new members feel welcome and safe in their home, and offering them a chance to explore their opportunities, especially when the outside world is becoming such a dangerous one, further setting the stage of future developments to come. 🐺
As far as novellas go this wasn't bad. The synopsis states that it's a standalone but I can't imagine anyone enjoying it if they haven't been keeping up with the series. It wouldn't make much sense nor would you know who anyone is. G The main story was somewhere between 2.75 and 3 stars and the bonus chapters got 3.5. Everything happens quickly but strangely I felt more of a connection between these three MCs than I did between Bray, Kean, and Ruari. 🤷♀️
This is the only book in the series that can be skipped as it doesn't move the overarching plot forward.
This wasn’t that great. The MMM relationship developed intensely fast and it mostly revolved around their sexual moments. Had the core plot advanced a little, this would have been a 3 star. This filler felt incredibly unnecessary. Two stars (rounded) because of the rest of the ensemble making appearances.
Sweet and hot addition to the series. I'm glad we got to catch up with Sean and get him and his mates integrated into the Hayes pack. It may work OK as a standalone short, but definitely will be more enjoyable to those who are caught up on the series.
3.5 stars rounded up for this insta-love novella, set within Nora Phoenix's Omegaverse world. Three new names to add to the ever-growing cast of characters in this series....Sean, Felix and Gia. Nice to have a little catch-up with the main characters too.
Sean was as amazing as I knew he'll be. Felix is lovely & headstrong, Gia's sassy & a sweetheart!
I'd enjoyed this, and it's always great to see our other couples.
And I was so happy that Sean, Felix, Gia had much info than we had at the start of this series. Due to Lidon, Palani. It makes it so much easier, helpful too.
Enar is doing a great job with his clinic, evidenced by this & all throughout. Plus I'm glad Vieno & Sven got more help in kitchen, with Gia being a chef :-D
Sean, Felix, Gia were so sexy & I can't wait to see them more in the later books! I'm totally on a binge spree, reading this series back to back ^_^
I've had always skipped this novella every time I reread this series but since I just got all of them in physical format I actually read it for the first time and it was a cute and sweet addition to the story! I only wish we'd got more time with the characters, both Shaun and Felix sounds so adorable!
Der Cop Sean muss bei einem Undercover Einsatz entscheiden, ob er einem jungen Omega zur Hilfe kommt, oder sein Cover aufrecht hält. Doch Sean entscheidet sich gegen seinen Job und rettet den jungen Gia, der von Alphas angegriffen wird. Er ist Träger des Melloni Gens und somit unwiderstehlich, so kurz vor seiner Hitze. Auf Sean hingegen wirkt Gias Geruch zwar erregend, aber nicht überwältigend. Was das bedeutet wissen weder Sean, noch Gia. Aber sie wissen beide, dass sie untertauchen müssen.
Hilfe bekommen sie dabei von unerwarteter Seite. Ein Anwalt der Polizei, Felix, kontaktiert Sean und lässt ihm eine Warnung zukommen. Felix ist mit Lidons Fall beauftragt, der jedoch nie zu Ende gebracht wurde. Und aus den Akten kennt er Seans Namen und seine Verbindung zu Lidon. Am Ende landen Felix, Sean und Gia auf der Ranch des Hayes Packs und es ist eine sehr seltsame Welt, in der sie sich wiederfinden.
Gias Hitze steht unmittelbar bevor und Gia wählt Sean und Felix ihm dabei zu helfen. Sie kennen sich zwar nicht, aber diesen Männern vertraut er. Und durch Enar erfährt Gia von den vom Schicksal bestimmten Gefährten, die sie sein könnten. Denn die Zeichen sprechen dafür, dass sie drei zusammen gehören könnten.
Omega's Protector ist eine wirklich nette und süsse Kurzgeschichte im Universum der Irresistible Omegas Reihe. Zwar kommt die Spannung nicht zu kurz und hier wird auch der Fall von Lidon weiter beleuchtet, doch der Fokus liegt klar auf das Zusammenkommen dieser drei Männer. Sie gehen sehr niedlich und respektvoll miteinander um. Kommen aus sehr unterschiedlichen Welten und Familien, scheinen sich aber sehr schnell zu finden und passen auch gut zu einandner.
Trotz der Kürze hat mir diese Geschichte wirklich sehr, sehr gut gefallen. Ich hätte auch nichts gegen ein, zwei weitere Kapitel einzuwenden gehabt.
short but still sweet and believable in this universe of fated mates.. sparks flying after bieng rescued and 3 stangers who circumstance/fate brings together.
they have all the feels and inner monolog to spice up these first moments and then a mega first heat for the sarcastic funny omega..
ow also the very first dp in this whole series and omg although it was short i was soooo here for it..
i do wish the scenes where a little more detailed and longer when they have their heat scenes esp with their mates for the first time 1 to show how strenuous a 24 36 or 40 hour heat is & use that opportunity to showcase how the grouping naturally find there ritme and flow without jealousy so all members of a group have time together or alone.
we had a few minutes with the main pair when all 4 came together in book 2 and then fade to black. It would be a perfect way to showcase how instincts in this case can solve Kickstart give these geus a nudge in the right direction. anyway that's just my ruminations
I liked this novella a lot short good explanations why the ranch hold's apeal why the sparks fly and why recognizing a mate is confusing af for the shifters that are so far removed from the olden days cus their traditions and knowledge about themselfs is almost gone.
I don't think this works well as a standalone but man this is a great hot short story..
Wow. It's all really connecting now and everything is starting to come full circle. All the way back to Lidon's cop days. And back to the investigation into him that caused a friend to get hurt by what he was investigating. But other people have filled the roles of those two and Sean, Lidon's old partner, is not a happy camper. Nor is the new lawyer. And when Sean finds an Omega about to be raped, more gets thrown in. And everyone is now determined to hang Sean out to dry like Lidon and Felix, the new lawyer is not happy with this news either. When they get to the ranch, everything becomes right and makes sense. Finally. And now more is becoming right like the old ways. Now if the rest can find their peace and mates and contentment, the pack will be full and it will be even more of a force to be reckoned with. And I'm definitely ready to see that. Damn good series.
Una bella novella che aggiunge nuovi personaggi al branco di Hayes. L'alfa Sean è stato l'ex partner di Lindon quando era un poliziotto. Anche se sono state montate delle false prove contro Lindon, Sean non si è mai schierato contro il suo partner. Ora salva Gia un omega da un'aggressione sessuale da parte di 2 uomini e lo porta nel ranch del branco. Qui conoscono il beta Felix e si unirà a loro per aiutare il calore di Gia e scopriranno che anche loro sono compagni predestinati!! Consigliato 💖💖💖💖💖
This is a paranormal novella romance with mpreg; it’s the 6th installment of the series but it’s a rather quick read. It doesn’t really further the ongoing story but it contains spoilers as to what happened in the previous books do I would still read in order to enjoy it the most. It was pretty cool to see Sean again as I kept wondering about him.
All the worldbuilding. The broader world/politics plot is getting more and more interesting.
Also, this series is about found family, and there is more and more of that. And how they are all working to subvert the dominant paradigm. Always a pleasing activity.
I felt like this book was so rushed. Everything happened in like one day and it was so? I remember Bray saying something to Grayson about how easy it is to say something about fated mates and then just go with it instead of thinking about consequences and this is what was happening here; the author just threw the fated mates plot in and didn't try to develop their relationship. I understand it was just a short book, but still.
A quick-read novella to keep us up-to-date on Lidon’s Pack and the PTP Ranch.
Sean Lilienfield, Lidon Hayes’s former partner on the police force, is now working narcotics with a new senior officer. During a boring stakeout, Sean sees something suspicious, a taxi cab in a part of town people just didn’t frequent unless they were up to no good. Going against his partners orders, Sean goes to check it out. What he came upon was more than he could believe. The cab driver, a beta, and an Alpha were arguing over who got to rape the poor omega that they had trapped and stripped first. After an altercation, that left one of the attackers shot, Sean grabs the omega and takes off with him in the cab he took. The poor omega, Gia, is so scared. It is obvious that he has the mutative Melloni gene and is close to heat. Sean can smell him but, for some unknown reason, he’s able to resist him even if he is hard as nails from his scent. He knows he is in trouble with the force for breaking the order but he is driven to take care of the sweet omega. Felix Roland is a lawyer who happens to be a beta, which leaves him in the dead end job with the Police Union. When they get a call from Evan Parks, head of IA, about Sean Lilienfield, Lidon Hayes’s former partner that refused to testify against him, Felix immediately takes interest. As Parks lays out the charges he knows something’s fishy and needs to get to the bottom of it. Sean, Felix and Gia wind up on Lidon’s ranch to protect the scared omega that’s about to start his first heat. Both Sean and Felix can smell Gia’s irresistible scent but are baffled why they can still resist him. Turns out fated mates have the desire for their mate but can control themselves just as alpha-claimed can’t smell the gene anymore. When both men agree to help Gia through his heat he is relieved. But what will happen to them all after his heat?
It was great to catch up and see all of my favorites back on the ranch. And I had wondered about Lidon’s rookie partner after all that went down with the force. It is obvious that he is regretful for not taking a stand but is also understandable given his family connections. I was pleased to see Lidon open his ranch to all three men. But what was more pleasing was that the pack accepted these three men and saw their worth and strengths without regard to their “status” in life. That’s what I love most about this series…it’s all about love and acceptance no matter who or what you are. This author is all about that in her books and it warms my heart every time I read one of her books. She’s definitely not afraid of any society’s issues and let’s her men experience life as they are intended to.
Obviously I loved this book and thought that Sean, Felix and Gia will be a welcome addition to the Pack. They are hot as can be and together they are combustible! I can’t wait for more of this amazing series. And Yes…I under how crazy that sounds from me, a self-professed anti paranormal, shifter or fantasy reader, but I just can’t sit these down!

Décidément cette auteure ne sait pas écrire. Son histoire est si plate et sans relief, qu’à chaque pages tournées tout est prévisible. C’est sans surprise ni suspens. Tout cela est sans saveur. Les insta love, les pas de jalousie, les pas sentir exclus rendent la lecture rébarbative et le développement de l’histoire simpliste et facile. Puisqu’il ne se passe rien pourquoi écrire. L’auteure s’acharne à rendre son récit aussi insipide que possible. Pas de connections réelles entre le bêta et l’alpha, ni entre le bêta et l’oméga. Pourtant c’est un ménage mais ça se passe entre l’oméga et l’alpha. Et je ne parle même de l’oméga qui est traité comme une chose fragile et doit avoir toute l’attention. Tout problème lié à l’accouplement est tué dans l’œuf. On a un récit mièvre, superficiel et peu captivant. Cette une lecture pour mongole. Tout est survolé, esquissé jamais dans la profondeur, toujours en surface. C’est valable pour toute la série. Ce qui me fait enrager. J’ai continué à lire cette série parce que Je voulais savoir si l’auteure pouvait s’améliorer mais non. Je vais de déception en déception. Ce truc ne nous fait ni ressentir, ni éprouvé de vrais sentiments. Une histoire qui manque de tout. En fait cette série n’est ni captivante ni passionnante. Un sujet tel qu’un ménage devrait être intéressant, passionnant, rebondissant exaltant, palpitant etc... parce que se sont trois protagonistes donc plus de matière. C’est comme si on vous donnait une superbe étoffe, on vous dit de créer un vêtement dans cette étoffe et que vous en preniez un bout, pour faire une serpillière. Non seulement vous ne savez pas coudre et n’avez aucun talent pour la couture en général mais en plus vous avez gâché cette belle pièce. Je suis déçue. et la fin beurk 🤢, te laissant insatisfait et irrité. Bordel, l’auteure a-t-elle conscience comment ce n’est même pas un ménage ce truc. Que le fait que ça se termine avec l’oméga et l’alpha dans les bras l’un de l’autre. Il est où le bêta? Juste merde, ça me fout les boules!! Et là, je me rend compte que ce ne sont pas des écrivains et que ce n’est pas de la littérature. C’est juste un espèce de passe temps payer par la vache à lait que je suis pour ces meufs. Tchipp! Et puis cette série me fait penser à une secte. Enfin bref, je suppose que le prochain récit ne sera pas mieux. Ah! Les boules!!!🤬
More Amazing Irresistible🔥Omegas! Fantastic Story and Listen🎧📚🎧 Omega's Protector An MMM Mpreg Romance (Irresistible Omegas, Book 6) By: Nora Phoenix Narrated by: John Solo
This series is absolutely amazing, Nora Phoenix has a brilliant minds, I am loving the characters and storylines she created as well as the world dynamics. I am enthralled by it all and can not get enough of it. This sixth book is Sean, Gia and Felix’s story, Sean is the rookie who worked with Liden, he is still on the force working narcotics with another senior officer, one he is not too thrilled about. He is also still weary about the department and everything that went down with Liden firing. When he sees another crime in progress he immediately goes to help the victim, an omega being attacked by not only an alpha but a beta too. Turns out the omega has the Melloni gene and is nearing his heat. Sean’s actions lands him in hot water with the department and puts in danger. Felix is the lawyer for the police union, he picked up on the inconsistencies in Lidon’s case so when he sees a new case for Sean it raises even more flags, so he goes out on a limb and gives Sean a heads up. The plot thickens, Sean and Gia head to the PTP ranch for safety and Felix meets them to talk about what is going on. They soon find out what they find is each other. This novella packs a whole lot of story, it is cleverly plotted and I loved how it all plays out. These three not only found each other but they found their own place on the ranch. Nora Phoenix, thank you for another fantastic story, it is always great to get lost in your Irresistible Omegas Universe, I am looking forward to what comes next.
🎧📚🎧And for the wonderful narration, John Solo continues to bring these characters and their stories to life. His portrayal of the characters is spot on, he takes each role, makes it his own and then plays it with perfection. He is an entertaining storyteller and versatile voice artist who is a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen.
When hot alpha cop Sean rescues omega Gia from being assaulted, he has no idea what fate has in store for him. Sean meets Felix, a nerdy beta lawyer, and Gia, the sassy omega he rescued, under unexpected circumstances. He's not looking for a boyfriend, far from it, but something sparks between them, something that's hard to define and impossible to understand rationally. And that's not even the strangest thing happening on the ranch that offers them a safe place. The air simmers there, wild and powerful. But what is that power they all feel? After riding out Gia's heat together, they find out what secrets the ranch holds, and they have to choose to part, leave or stick together and see how everything develops. How much stock do they put in fate? And is their short but explosive encounter enough to last or will their connection fizzle out?
I enjoyed this story which started with a coincidence which led to Sean rescuing Gia before Felix helped them which brought him into their little group seeking refuge with the pack. They were fated mates and I loved that Gia was given the power to tell them. They had passion and I loved that they were able to work together to get through Gia's heat and remain together afterwards. There was a lot of analysis of Sean's situation (like his family and whether anyone would demand his return as well as if anyone missed Felix). Easy to read, feel and understand. This is an MMM story with mature content set in an omegaverse.
