James. Grey. Beau—the handsome, unattainable Alphas that run the Aurora Inn. One minute they’re kind, the next minute, they’re cold and cruel, shrouding themselves in secrets. They make me want things I shouldn’t—and make my body crave things it shouldn't. I'm a Beta—there’s no place for me in their world, let alone their hearts. Yet this pack—and the rest of the town—have other ideas. And if I don’t find out what they want with me… I’ll either lose my mind or give in to my desires. Maybe a little bit of both.

I was so intrigued with the beginning of this story. An abused woman on the run with limited memories arrives at The Aurora Inn. A week booked to figure out the next steps of her escape. Except Harper is greeted by three growly Alpha's who are not too happy to see her.
I’m mad at myself. I’m mad at them. I’m mad at the fucking world for being so confusing and fucking unfair.
Owners of the Inn, Grey, James, Beau, are furious that this Beta guest has appeared, yet Harper cannot understand their animosity. You instinctively know there's a connection but nobody is talking and Harper can't remember. The only thing certain is that The Aurora Inn feels safe.
“Scars show us who we are, Princess. It shows you survived your past,” he continues. “That you fought like hell, and you’re still here, sitting in front of me.”
The plotline may not have been difficult to figure out but I liked watching it unfold. Slowly piecing together how these four are connected and who Harper really is. And there's nothing better than a mating heat to force each other's hands.
The first half of the story was awesome but once the truth was revealed it lost a little of it's lustre. All in all Wicked Alphas was a good Omegaverse romance and the gangbang at the end was a lovely touch to the ending! 🔥🔥
i’m a sucker for the whole amnesia “i forgot everything about my past” trope!!! add a safe second chance to it and i am fucking solddd😮💨🙌🏼🙌🏼 one thing that was kind of a pleasant surprise was the fact that the book was a “why choose” with 3 heroes and i lovedd it sm, i don’t usually read a lot of why choose but lorddd was this shit goodddd🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

some of my fav quotes💌💌
“I’m so glad you’re here,” he murmurs, his thumb caressing my palm. “We won’t let anything happen to you, baby, okay?” Baby. My head swims. There’s an earnestness behind his eyes, along with smoldering desire.
“I think my boyfriend was lying to me about who I was.” James doesn’t blink. It’s disconcerting, and I panic as he clenches his hands into fists at his sides. “Boyfriend?” He spits the word. “Yes?” I say, confused. “Ex-boyfriend, now. He told me who I was before the accident. But I think he may have lied.” The truth is vile. I don’t know who I am. James’s jaw ticks and his nostrils flare. “What did he tell you?” AHHH JEALOUSY SCENES OMGGG🛐🛐🛐
If I ever see her ex-boyfriend, I’ll tear him limb from limb, slowly. If she cries for him, then I’ll just kill him more slowly. He’s not worth her tears. YES YES YESSS🫠🙌🏼🙌🏼
“Don’t you have…an Omega?” My face flushes as I blurt out the question. I feel like a teenager, asking if my crush has a girlfriend. Please say you don’t please say you don’t. “Oh. Oh.” Then he blushes, his cheeks turning pink. “No. I don’t. Um, we don’t.” YEAH THEY DON’T WHY WOULD THEY WHEN THEY HAVE YOU BABYYY🥹🎀🫶🏼
It’s heavenly. I grin like an idiot when Beau kisses the top of my head. I pull away from his chest and meet his gaze, his smile just as bright as mine. “Hey gorgeous,” he whispers. “You sleep well?” And for the first time in a long time, I did. ufff myy heart❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
“Bro, she doesn’t remember her past so we’ll make her fall in love with us again and then reveal who we are to her because she won’t believe if we tell her now, even though we have PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE that we were in a relationship and the WHOLE TOWN literally knows who she is.”
“Ummm bro, that kinda sounds stupid?”
“Nah bro let’s just do it for the plot.”
“Oh of course! Why didn’t you say so? “ 😄
This is literally how this fucking book went. 🤦🏻♀️
Short and sweet. The cat may have been the highlight for me because #animallover. I did enjoy the first 50% more than the last but still a decent read!
~She's a Beta, not an Omega.. Why would three Alpha's want her?~
Unfortunately I did predict the plot pretty quick. Steamy scenes were a smidge.. 🙈 I enjoyed their connection though.
I only made it half way, but still want to star it as I tried my best.
It's a simplistic story on all levels. The bones of the story lured me in but there was no decent intrigue or world building to keep my interest. And so it gets kinda boring. But I was plugging along not really paying attention. But then the sex started about 1/3 in and it became the only thing the writing could focus on. I felt like I was reading porn. What character development there was felt clumsy and half assed.
You have a girl running from her supposed boyfriend (now ex) back to the place she first remembers seeing him, where she suffered complete amnesia. She meets 3 supposedly mysterious alphas and well... it was paint by numbers from there. I would be good with that, as I like a comfortable but well done trope. But this was just so 'phoned in'.
So DNF.
Pretty sure the safety is good though. So far it's
I mean. It feels like it's raunchier than a lot of omegaverse books, so, there's that.
Steam level aside, the remixing of past Harp/present Harp wasn't executed...in a way that makes the plot interesting. You immediately know she's suffering from memory loss, and that she lived there, and was kidnapped in some fashion. I don't really feel like any of her life is truly a mystery, and by the end your inferences are correct, so I'm not sure there is really anything keeping you tethered to the tale other than 'hey, I just wanna' finish it.'
Points for dynamic characters, but I didn't enjoy them together, so I'm meh about the whole novel.
This is at the top of my favorite RH books! The Alphas are all swoon worthy and their stories of how they came to form a pack are amazing. Poor Harper just wanted to get away and recoup from a bad relationship, and she ends up with more questions. I love how she complements each of the Alphas and starts to influence the ways they think, as well as their actions. This is one that's impossible to put down, so be prepared with coffee(or tea) so you can read through the night.
This was a well written book overall, but I found it hard to wrap my head around the amnesia plot.
Harper is in a car accident and has total amnesia. So naturally the hospital doesn’t bother to check up on her identity and releases her into some dude’s care because he says he’s her boyfriend.
Prior to this, Harper was a saint. Everyone loved her. She volunteered at the soup kitchen, rescued orphaned kittens, mentored foster kids, and was a friend to all. Despite all of this, no one looks for her when she goes missing. They just assume she got mad and left, despite the fact that this seems really out of character for her. They get some letters where she says super mean stuff. No one bothers to try to get in touch with her to follow up on that.
Eventually she finds her way back and everyone pretends they don’t know her. It’s actually really twisted. They repeatedly lie about knowing who she is, even after finding out that her boyfriend has been overdosing her on suppressants and made up her past. They engage in a relationship with her while lying to her about knowing her.
The premise of this book is just super weird all the way around. None of these characters seem mentally healthy.

Harper has no memories beyond a few years ago, when she woke up after an accident and was told by a guy that they were in love, but he was abusive and now that she has escaped she is going to a place that she feels spuds safe. But there are secrets, and the alphas there may know more than they let on. This was an intriguing story with twists and turns. I liked Harper and the guys were interesting, although there were times I just wanted them to ask some questions. But overall it was a great story!
I just wanted a light read that didn’t involve much brain power and well this was it. I liked it enough but it’s not something I’ll remember after today. Once they started fucking I skimmed so much tbh 😭 probably not smart to read an omega verse when I don’t like spice so that’s on me I’ll admit.
I have no idea how this book has SO many 5 stars though I’m genuinely gobsmacked.
What I liked: - Beau is an absolute walking green flag. Authors never write about truly sweet men and Beau is exactly that. Just sweet and shy but always willing to put his heart out there and tell his true feelings. - Renee sticking up for Harper was what I needed 👏🏼 - Harper being bossy in the bedroom was hot. I love a girl who ain’t afraid to demand what she needs. - Beau. Beau. Beau. Him showing all the photographs was incredibly sweet. - James opening up about his cutting habits and how she motivated him to start drawing instead was so ungodly sweet. - Beau saying how he belongs to her vs. her belonging to him. Again, walking green flag! - I liked how she confessed her feelings and yet they still waited for her to vocalize her desires during her heat. - Beau wanting her to sit on his face. That whole sweet boy thing and then he just wants to suffocate from her sitting on him was astoundingly hot. - The guys cumming in their pants. I find that so hot that they love pleasuring their person without even needing anything. - Cat. AND A NEW KITTEN!
What I didn’t care for: - omegaverse without shifters and yet there is a “presence” in them was really fucking weird. - The instalove of it all. She’s there literally one day and confessions and arousal and stuff are already happening? I don’t care if she knew them before. - The book almost always uses cunt or cunt walls to describe her vagina. I’m fine with cunt but it was overused. - The author loooooved to emphasize words by italicizing and it got so unbelievably distracting. - James purposely distracting Harper when she’s demanding the truth gave me the ick. And then has the audacity to be mad at Gray when he agreed with him? - I know it was for the plot but them just hiding everything seemed illogical and very manipulative.

From the very first chapter you're glued to the edge of your seat. Who did she run from? What did she have to deal with? Why was she in a car accident? Who is this hostile Alpha? Why are all the staff being so hush hush and weird?
They manage to say a lot without actually saying anything its frustrating. I'm screaming at the screen, " What are u all hiding from her!!!!" All the interruptions are a little too convenient.
At the end it was a little disappointing only because I has high hopes for this one but it wasnt a bad read. Enjoyable short and cute, just couldve gone a different way and I wasnt really invested in any of the characters.
An intriguing plot that has some interesting twists involved. Something is definitely amiss, but you aren't quite sure what it is and whether it is the past or the present! A wonderful love story that involves a pack of seriously hot alphas that leads to some seriously hot spice! A very entertaining read that had me up into the wee hours of the morning turning pages as I devoured the story in one sitting!
★3/5! AWWWW THEIR CAT RECOGNISING HER STRAIGHT AWAY LITTLE CUTIE and he tried to climb in her suitcase stopp ૮꒰ ྀི >⸝⸝⸝< ྀི꒱ა adorable. cats/dogs need to be in more romance books
I finished this book in one sitting. Harper and the guys go through some rough times. There were secrets that were too painful to talk about. The memories were stressful and confusing. Let's not forget the villain in this story, who almost took away everything. It worked out in the end, but it wasn't easy. Enjoyable read.
I usually LOVE her Omegaverse stories. This one hit differently. Not sure why. I liked the plot but there was something about our FMC that rubbed me wrong. They talked constantly about how smart Harper is. I felt that for someone wanting to rediscover herself that she would be more in tune.
