Raiven Matthews

14 books172 followers
Raiven Matthews lives in the Mid-West, with her very spoiled cat, Declan. An avid reader from a young age, she discovered MM romance while reading fan fiction, and never looked back. Her days are fueled by lots of coffee and cuss words, and often plots her books on her commute to her RL job. She has always believed in happily-ever-after, but she was always the girl with follow-up questions. What happened when Cinderella put on that shoe and rode off to the castle? What came after Beast turned into a handsome prince? While she loves when her characters fall in love, she also believes in sprinkling in a big dose of reality, and real-life situations, (even if she is writing omegaverse mpreg) to get there.

This third installment was definitely enjoyable and I liked Brendan and Ryan together.

Also, I enjoyed that this included the shifter aspect to it more, as well as getting to see Ryan in heat, which we didn't get to see in our previous two books.

I also like that it raised the stakes with this stalker that has been sending threatening and disturbing messages to Ryan for about a year in present day.

The Daddy/little aspect was well done too, and I liked their dynamic, it worked well.

Ryan is young, and has gone through too much in his young life. He lost his parents at 5 years old, and then was moved from foster home to foster home, no one adopting him along the way.

And now with this stalker, Ryan is in even more need to be a little, where he can just forget adulting for awhile and just be.

I liked the way this explained the Daddy/little kink. It goes a step beyond the Daddy/boy dynamic and the boy acts anywhere from a young kid to a toddler to even a baby, depending. It lets someone like Ryan get to be a kid again and now worry about anything, while someone like Brenden gets to take care of him, as Brenden is an ultimate caretaker - which is what he loves about being a daddy.

Of course there are always different dynamics to this kind of thing, and one relationship isn't always the same, but for Brenden and Ryan, this is how it works for them.

Ryan regresses to about around 6 or 7, so he mainly colors and plays with cars and wears firetruck pajamas and gets in the the 'little' headspace of a kid - meaning sometimes when he's in that headspace, he might yell (when he's back to being his regular adult self, he is more shy and reserved) and get overly excited and a little defiant and bratty, which Brenden firmly but kindly reprimands.

All this is good and well done - and I of course liked the sex between these two.

My main issue is the freaking timeline - which, yes, bothered the hell out of me and took me out of the story whenever Ryan - and Brendan's - age was brought up.

These two meet near the beginning of Lachlan and Quinn's book, when all the brothers meet at Jamie's nightclub. Which makes it around early December or so of when Lachlan and Quinn were starting their romance.

So, Lachlan and Quinn have their kids in June, and then a year later they get married in May. So at that point it's been a year and a half since Brendan and Ryan would have met. THEN the events with Finn and Wade happen, and Wade has Logan, their first, on Christmas day later that year.

So at *that* point it's been 2 years. And then in the epilogue to their book, it says it's been 10 months since Logan was born, and Wade is pregnant again. And at the start of this, it's near the end of February/Beginning of March, and Wade is well into his pregnancy by then.

So this whole timeline means it's been a little over THREE years since Brendan and Ryan met. But the book only says it's been 2 years. Which makes NO freaking sense and it drove me bonkers. The book even says that Logan is a year old at the start of this, and he was born a year and a half after the twins!

Which doesn't make any sense for how there's 2 and a half years total between Logan and the twins age, and yet it says it's only been 2 years since Brendan and Ryan met aka when Quinn was *just* becoming pregnant?! Make it make sense?!

Like how can you miss that big of a time jump?? Because of this, it says Ryan just turned 20 (he should be 21) and had tidbits like he wasn't legally allowed to drink or what have you - which, he should have been! - and also that Brenden was 40, going to be 41 in July, but he should be 41, going on 42! Because all the brothers are 38 at the start of the series, it's been 3 years, ergo 41, not 40.

Argghh things like that make me so frustrated. Keep a list of all your characters ages and where you timeline is, trust me, because things this egregious are just...too much to let go.

So one whopping star off this for that miscalculation. And because of it, I fear in Jamie's book *his* age will be off as well! Get your timeline's straight, at least a lot straighter than forgetting you need a whole year added on to how long it's been.

Also, the time jump made sense - as Ryan lived in a whole other town miles and miles away and couldn't get to the club frequently.

And I understand him and Brendan not touching for awhile. Like months, maybe even a year, I would have accepted. But by 3 years (which, in the author's head is 2 years), you'd have to have touched by then! In the beginning of this we learn it's been around 3 months since they last saw each other because Ryan was dealing with moving to Sweet Alps to get away from his stalker.

But otherwise, that's 2 years and about 9 months of no touching? They just spent time in the 'little' playroom at the club barely talking, with Brendan unsure if he was even into the 'little' aspect of it all, so he'd just get a sippy cup for Ryan and kinda sit there and let him color the whole time. Like...almost 3 years of that and...nothing? Just some introductions as far as we learn and that's all?

*That* I didn't buy, so that was added to my reason for the star off. Like, to me, Ryan could have been around earlier, maybe during Finn and Wade's story, and his and Brendan's could have been happening simultaneously, or almost simultaneously, and we just don't get to see it until their book.

Because like...why wait 3 (yes 3, *not* 2, although 2 is still a long time in the first place) years to really do anything with this person you're so drawn to? Doesn't make much sense.

Although another thing the author could have done was wait to introduce Ryan. Like Brendan could have just met him later, in Finn and Wade's book. Would have made more sense.

But, aside from those grievances, I did enjoy this book a lot, and the story was solid. I definitely enjoyed this overall - although if Daddy/little stuff is a hard limit for you, this isn't the book for you - and I can't wait for Jamie's book, to find out more about the overall mystery of him. Why he chose to become a spy - because lbr, that's what he was - and who his fated mate is (because of course his fated mate is gonna be alive!) and why he chose to open a kink club of all things.

Can't wait! Onto the next!

Finally, no push and pull!

I really liked this. It was sweet and just what I'd hoped for.

There is some daddy kink and I guess some age play, but blink and you missed it.

While you could read this one without reading the ones before it, it will make a heck of lot more sense if you read the two earlier books of this series.

I know that the blurb says that there is escalating violence, and that is true, but there is also a killing in here, so be warned. There is also an attack while Ryan is pregnant. I know this is something that may upset people, so be warned about that too.

Ok so here we are, in book 3 of a series I for some reason really like. This time it's the 3rd quadruplet wolf shifter alpha brother who is a daddy, Brendan ,who likes boys but not littles and a little, Ryan, who is an omega fox shifter in need of a daddy.

These two meet in the kink club of the 4th quadruplet wolf shifter alpha. Brendan is of course, rich and powerful and almost 40 while Ryan is in college barely making it.

Let me pause here to mention one thing that I did not realized happened in the beginning of these stories. There was a meeting called by the youngest brother in his kink club that all four brothers showed up to. Their stories all include that scene and what happens when they leave the meeting.

Also, I really hate time jumps. This one had a major one with not so great descriptions of these two meeting at the club to play during this missing time but apparently they never talked or even shared info with each other. I do not know why this had to be this way.

Anyways, so these two get together and daddy becomes Daddy and yall know that the mpreg happens. While all this is happening poor Ryan is stalked by someone who is so awful, he goes after a straight friend from college because he thought they were more than friends. No matter what Ryan does, this stalker always finds him. A horrible thing happens while Ryan is near the end of his pregnancy, and eventually they get past all that.

The first two couples feature heavily in this one, which is why I suggest reading the first two, but I was happy with that as I loved those couples as well.

Now this still had too many pages. Seriously, this could have been trimmed down so much and still have been great to read. There were some editing issues, but not bad enough to take me out of the story.

I cannot wait until we get the backstory on Jamie.

(2.5/5)

minor spoilers ahead!

I was surprised and happy about the slow burn, at least until it was over after 1.5 seconds. Boy, was I disappointed about that. But I should have known. It is, after all, an omegaverse.

Not only did the book disappoint there, but in many other aspects as well. The daddy/little relationship was super superficial, the claiming was off page and the plot was all over the place and honestly not necessarily good either.

I also really didn't like the endometriosis theme. I know it's an omegaverse and men can get pregnant here too, but I didn't like that endometriosis was included. That doesn't belong here, if you ask me. Maybe I'm oversensitive in that regard, but that's just how I feel.

I'd be lying if I said the whole experience was rubbish, because it wasn't. I liked some aspects of this story, despite everything. But the few things I didn't like simply outweighed the good.

Cóż...
Kink zaprezentowany w tej części serii sprawił, że oko mi latało. Nie moja bajka. Przez połowę książki czułam się nieswojo. Ale nie zamierzam z tego powodu obniżyć oceny, bo to mój problem, nie książki.
W tej części była jakaś fabuła, a także tajemnica. Pojawił się również Wade w mojej najbardziej ulubionej postaci. Za to daję trzy gwiazdki. Co do MC - jak wspomniałam, nie moja bajka.
Mam nadzieję, że czwarta część okaże się lepsza, bo bardzo lubię Jamiego.

This one hit all my buttons! I love that each book, while linked to the same group, focuses on different challenges and kinks. While all have had humor, this one seriously made me laugh a couple of times and added that dash of unknown from an outside problem.

Definitely not my favorite in the series but still a worthwhile read. I think this stems more from me not gelling with the relationship dynamic and the drama as opposed to a dislike of the story.

So Brendan and Ryan have a Daddy/Little relationship and this just isn't my cup-of-tea type of kink. Also Ryan was I believe 20 in the story and the 20-some year age gap between him and Brendan kind of gave me the ick. Past that Brendan was tender and caring toward Ryan, giving him the much needed love and attention that he was desperate for. Ryan, well for much of the story Ryan was a hot mess; between the stalker, trying to navigate a fated mate, school, a job, etc. he is your typical college student, overwhelmed with life. 

And speaking the stalker situation, it took way too long to play out. I think the drama with the stalker really took away from the romance in the story. I was well past the 80% mark in the book and we still didn't know who said stalker was. When the whole thing played out, it felt very rushed and the story ended shortly after. I wanted more fluff and the characters actually enjoying life after so many months of living in terror. In all honestly, I was more interested in a potential relationship between alpha Gabe and omega Asher than I was any of the main character drama. 

And also as with all of Raiven Matthews books, the inner monologues drag on forever and contribute nothing to the story, so I started to skim them and just move on to the dialogue or next scene. *whispers, please get an editor to refine these scenes, the story could probably be 50-100 pages shorter if that was done* Okay, off to book 4 I go.

WOW!!!...His Precious Omega was sooooooooooooo good. Raiven Matthews had me on the edge of my seat on who that stalker was. I had my guesses and was soooooooooooo WRONG!!!...LOL But anywho...I loves this series...the brothers are as sweet and hilarious as ever...their mates are still sassy and we meet some new characters that I hope will get their chance in the spotlight. Brendan and his precious boy Ryan was a wonderful matchup. I love how Brendan was all in and ready to be mates and have a relationship...no fighting it...just letting it happen. Ryan was sooooooooo sweet...I'm so glad he found Brendan and got a family with friends out of it. Mannnnnnnnnnnnn I can't wait for Jamie's turn...this wait is gonna kill me...LOL

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

His Precious Omega is the third story in the Sweet Alps Mates series. This arrived on my kindle and I immediately started reading and didn’t stop until I was done! You really should read the first two in the series, but this does read fantastic as a standalone. Brendan is an Alpha Daddy who really wants to find his mate. He thinks he has but he disappears for a few months. Ryan is a boy who is being stalked. He decides to start over in another town, coincidentally where Brendan lives. I loved the found family aspect in this, Wade and Quinn just swoop in and help Ryan. I freakin loved everything about this story!! Overall, a fantastic read!! The story was well written and kept me engaged and flipping the pages, the pacing just flowed!!! Highly recommend!

My first read of the new year. While there is still some time before it comes out to the rest of the world. I can't wait for everyone else to get to dive back into the Sinclair Alphas. Brendan is a Daddy he just doesn't realize that he can be a Daddy to a little. But that is what the Goddess has in store for him. He is worthy of so much more than he realizes and his precious boy is proof of that. Ryan is one of the strongest men we have met in this series. (Make sure to read the triggers at the beginning.) Everything that he has dealt with in his life is heartbreaking. He picks up his life and moves to escape a stalker, but finds friends and family with his move. He has a pull for Daddy Brendan although he is not sure why just yet. This pairing is beautiful and when they come together they are explosive as soon as the connection realizes that they are fated together. If you haven't read the rest of this series, I recommend returning and doing so. Our favorite brat Wade is back helping Ryan find his new place in the family. Be prepared for a few tears and laughter in the most awkward of moments. I love seeing everyone who is added to this series and can't wait for more. We know we will see Jamie's story but hopefully, we will see a little more from this world.

This book is a fated mates book with Mpreg. Putting that out there so folks know. I enjoyed this book. Love how they met and the suspense. Love the sweet D/b dynamic. I loved the found family and friends. The brothers crack me up. The writing was good the smexy was good just wish there were some diversity. Brown people are shifters too. I will say can we normalize claiming being on page. That’s just as big as the I love you’s in this type of world. Also character personality switch at the end was disappointing. Ryan was sweet, especially while a little. Why now is he a brat? We did the brat in the other book. It’s ok if he stayed sweet at the end. Not every sub needs to be a brat

These two were adorbs. I love that Brendan is more than able to support Ryan and his little side. I loved how he stepped up to help Gabe as well. Surprised he hasnt introduced Gabe and Asher to one another
The whole way through this story we were kept guessing who the stalker was. My guess was wrong. It was well done and fitted well with the story. I loved that Ryan became loud, bossy and sassy as he became comfortable with Brendan and his new group of friends.

I cant wait for Jamies story.

I’m going insane here god this book was really an emotional rollercoaster in the best way possible!!
Rayan and Brendan own my heart at this point.I loved their daddy/little dynamic and how their relationship went on it was sweet,gently and spicy. I really couldn’t get enough of them and gosh the story was perfect and to the end it got so intense I had to take several breaks.

Ryan & Brendan

This one had a bit more action than the previous two books. The entire series has been interesting and good to read though. I'm looking forward to getting to Jamie's story now.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

Brandon and Ryan are just wonderful guys! Ryan has been through so much, but he is trying to get past it all. The minute he spots Brandon he just knows he is what he needs. Brandon learns that he can be the perfect Daddy for Ryan even though he was worried at first. Everything is a new type of experience for him with Ryan, and he will be whatever he needs to be for Ryan. He is so patient and caring. Super slow burn with some secrets and a stalker to keep things interesting. I really adored these two!

**This review has been electronically translated into English.

* ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I liked the series so far, but I didn't create that connection with the characters that usually happens when I read something I like. It was lukewarm. Which in a way was good, because I wasn't disappointed with this book as I would have been. It was just a confirmation of what I was already expecting.

This is the third book in the series and although it has expanded its paths, adding more drama, action and a certain suspense, it continued with its usual back and forth at the beginning of the story, and despite being a story that according to the author's chronology, began a few years earlier, it was so slow as if they had met at the beginning of the book and with all that back and forth that happened in the previous ones. It was a bit of book 1, a bit of book 2, plus a pinch of action, suspense, drama and chase. A festival of internal monologue.

I skipped several parts. Simply annoying. So much monologue, so many thoughts, so much reflection. Tiring. The author could have used at least more than half of the book to develop the characters' stories, describing their routine lives, interactions with their families and everything else. It seems that when it's a character's turn to have their story told, their life is reduced to reflection, grunts, groans and stupid decisions. That work that is so important to their lives is nothing. Their day-to-day is nothing. There is no depth. Everything is so superficial and convenient. Difficult when the author wants it to be. Easy and quick when it suits him. Often disregarding even his worldbuilding and characters.

This is a small-town romance, but there is no interaction with anyone other than the characters directly linked to the MCs, and the city sometimes seems bigger than it was presented in the first book. This is a shifter romance, which does not delve into this, beyond the few changes to play or run that are mentioned or described. In addition to being a shallow BDSM romance, where the characters often claim to be something that is not what is presented by the author in "practice". This story featured a stalker who threatened the life of one of the MCs most significantly, BUT, who only appeared when it was convenient, in addition to having been helped by the good guys to cause any trouble. Every time he represented some danger it was because the characters let their guard down because they believed he no longer represented any real danger. The height of stupidity. My eyes bled at those parts. It was as if the author was laughing at me. Come on Mrs. Matthews, it's a fantasy story, but there's no need to appeal. Especially when you mention that one of the brothers was a secret agent, implying that he was a badass and all, he goes and relaxes the protection of the victim because he believes that the stalker no longer represents a danger, because he looked at his face and said: "Wow, that wolf is a very good and great ex-secret agent, I'm not going to stalk Ryan anymore, it's not worth it!?" How??????? It was all very surreal, even for a fantasy story.

And yes, I liked the book, if not only for the book, maybe because it's a continuation of the series. I liked that it added something extra, with the stalker's story and all the danger that it involved. But, I can't help but point out those parts that for me made the book that could have been great, something average to bad. The author adds a lot of information and tropes, but doesn't go into any of them in depth, even though the book was long, she preferred to focus on the characters' thoughts, their ramblings and lust.

The cherry on the cake is that the chronological order of the book doesn't match the series. I could have just put the story at the same time as Quinn and Lachlan's, and everything would be fine. But no, go ahead and complicate everything, it's easier that way.

Dual POV. Ryan and Brendan.
BDSM. Daddy/Little. WOLF/FOX SHIFTER. MPreg. OMEGAVERSE. Small Town. PAIN/COMFORT. Found Family. STALKER. Class Difference. AGE DIFFERENCE. Size Difference. LOSS OF PARENTS. Adoption. DIFFICULTY GETTING PREGNANT. Attempted Kidnapping. HARASSMENT. (Well, the list goes on.)

His Precious Omega is a fantastic third book in this series from Raive Matthews. It does touch on a couple of content warnings so be sure to check those before reading.
This is a heartwarming shifter romance with fated mates and a Daddy/Little relationship. That part of the story is fairly low angst, mostly Brendan stressing about being a good daddy for Ryan. Ryan has been alone most of his life so the friendships that suddenly build and the bond that grows with Brendan has him a little off kilter. Fans of the series will know there's no stopping Wade when he sets his sights on something/someone! My heart went out to Ryan with the secret he holds as well, and having been told no one would want him, makes it hard to trust in someone as lovely as Brendan wanting him when all is revealed.
The drama comes in the form of Ryan having a stalker and the escalating actions of the person following him. However, with the family he now finds himself included in, it comes with four alpha brothers, two brothers-in-law and a bear shifter for a neighbor. Jamie, especially, is one to watch and who Brendan goes to for help.
I loved this story from the start, both men are aware of each other but have not yet taken that step past Daddy Brendan watching of Ry in the club. When that connection is made, it is instant and undeniable, bringing them both love and happiness that they yearn for. The drama is at times intense and scary for the couple but their people surround them in a protective and supportive bubble. There is a great balance throughout the story and it draws you in with the budding romance and tension building plot. It's not necessary to have read the previous books in the series but I think it helps to learn the people and relationships that have developed.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

New to me author and new series for me to read focusing on town of Sweet Alps. This book focuses on one of the quadruplets alphas, Brendan and his omega mate, Ryan. Having just started this series, I have to go back and read the other two books before. Wade’s character is absolutely hilarious and even though he’s not the focus of this book, his character definitely steals a scene or two.

This is a shifter fated mate romance with age gap, mpreg and a Daddy/little relationship. I would definitely check the content warning before reading as there is some on page violence and stalker storyline. There is a caring and sweet relationship between these two characters. Ryan has had a difficult past growing up and questions that anyone could really want him. Add to the fact that he’s been stalked for some time but some unknown person and it takes him to to really open up to Brendan and not question him. Brendan questions his ability to provide Ryan with the support he needs. I loved how Ryan grows into his own voice and sass towards the end of the book and absolutely strong. Definitely a twist at the end as the story draws to a conclusion and they finally deal with Ryan’s stalker.

So curious as to who Jamie ends up with and excited to read the next book. He is a snarky yet endearing character. Besides the other brothers and their mates, the inclusion of Asher and Gabe as secondary characters was interesting and hope they have a HEA as well. I received a complimentary copy of this book and this is my honest and fair review.

Even though each of the books in the Sweet Alps series focuses on a new couple, I think it's best to start from the beginning. Mostly because there are four brothers and now there are spouses and kids so it can get a bit overwhelming with all the characters. I think you could get away with just reading this one, but the series as a whole is amazing so why short change yourself!

I wasn't sure what to expect with Brendan and Ryan's story. We knew going in that Brendan was a Daddy but it was only hinted at that Ryan would be a little. I liked how they met for a few years, even if it was just sporadically at the club, before they started down the whole fated mates route. This one has a bit more action as Riley is actively running away from a stalker who's identity is unknown. Though the timing may seem fast, I think Raiven does a wonderful job of establishing solid relationships built on the characters personality and not relying on the "instalove" of the fated mate trope.

We get all of the brothers and learn a bit more about Jamie! It was amazing to see a new side to Gabe and I really am crossing all fingers and toes that we get his story as well. Sweet Alps is such a great series full of emotions and well thought out characters that have their flaws along with their amazing traits and we see that in this one as well with Brendan and Ryan. I've loved the three brothers that we've got so far and I cannot wait to see how Jamie's story will turn out. He deserves much love, especially after he's taken care of Brendan in this one!

I absolutely adored Brendan and Ryan's story. This book was darker than the previous books in the series, but I enjoyed all the angst and drama. There's still plenty of sweet moments and lots of spice. I'm not generally a huge fan of Daddy/little dynamics. It was present and played a role. It really felt like Ryan's little side was just part of his personality.

There was an infertility trigger warning on this book, which it absolutely needs. I was extremely impressed by how well it was described and handled. As someone who has dealt with infertility for almost a decade, I really connected with Ryan. The thoughts and feelings are spot on, which is not something I've found in other books.

We got to see all the Sinclair brothers and their mates and cubs again in this book. I really liked learning more about Jamie, and can't wait to start his story. While the books in the series are connected, they could be read as stand alones or out of order. We also got to see more of Gabe, who was introduced in the previous book. I'm REALLY hoping he is going to get his own story, because he absolutely needs it!

This is my favorite book in the series so far, despite it having a kink that is definitely not my favorite and one of my bigger triggers. The angst and drama were well balanced with sweeter (and spicy) moments and there is a fantastic cast of characters. I'm excited to read the next book, but will be sad to see the series end

Brendan is an alpha and a Daddy, but not the DDlb type of Daddy. But when he sees Ryan, a little and an omega, he is instantly hooked. They take it very slow as Brendan tries his best to be a good Daddy for his little and after two years of occasional scenes at the club, they finally move towards something real and lasting. Unfortunately, Ry has an insane stalker to deal with, but thank heavens he has a strong alpha to protect him.

I really enjoyed this book. I wasn’t sure if I would like the combination of the alpha/omega and BDSM aspects, but the author handled the material very well. The book was well-written and thrilling to read. The MC’s had amazing chemistry and they were so sweet together.

I received this third book of the Sweet Alps series and started reading it, but it felt like something was missing, so I ended up reading the other two books of the series first and then read this third book. I am so glad that I did. This series has a lot of things going on. It is set in the omega versa with shifters in the BDSM lifestyle and there is a stalker thrown in the mix. So, yes, I recommend reading the books in order so you can get a fuller, more detailed picture. All of the books so far are really good and I can't wait to read about the fourth brother.

I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This book is another great book in an already amazing series and I loved it! While this one is more of a slow burn, it doesn't lag, as we watch Daddy Brendan figure out if he can be the daddy that Omega Little, Ryan needs. Ryan has had his eye on Daddy Brendan for two years but has held back in his attraction. Not only do they live in different cities, but Ryan is dealing with college and just trying to make ends meet. It isn't until a dangerous stalker pushes Ryan into moving to the city that Brendan lives in do the two of them start to figure out if a relationship is in the cards. Brendan is certain that Ryan is his fated mate and he really works hard to consider all aspects of being a daddy to a Little - even getting help from another Daddy. Of course, the whole omega gang is here, as well as Brendan's brothers and we get to see a little deeper into the family dynamics. I'm utterly in love with Jamie, the youngest of the four, and I can't wait for his story. There's also hints at Gabe, the sweet bear shifter, who happens to be an Alpha and a Little, getting a story with a certain Omega Daddy!
I truly loved reading this series and I'm eagerly waiting for the next book! Solid 5* stars!

Brendan Sinclair is a Daddy who has yet to find a boy he wanted to keep forever. Then at a kink club, he saw a shy and innocent boy waiting to sit on Santa's lap and he knew he wanted him to keep forever and would do everything to protect him. But can he be the kind of Daddy he deserves? Ryan Foster asked Santa for his forever Daddy and he feels that has been provided as Brendan makes him feel safe and treasured but first, he has a secret that might tear him apart. Can he escape his past once and for all? Or will their mate bond be destroyed by darkness he can’t outrun?

I enjoyed this story of the attraction between the two men, the determination in Brendan to give Ryan what he needs and his annoying caution to give so many checks with opportunities for Ryan to leave (which were not necessary). The stalker aspect was dramatic and the action-packed ending was definitely tear-inducing when it appeared as if certain characters were going or were already dead. Easy to read, feel and understand you will definitely feel emotional as you read some of this. This is an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic

** Trigger warming - There is a stalker and some mention of infertility if either of them are triggers for you.

This book has some darker elements with regards to stalking, the emotional and mental effects of it, and how it is resolved. This book also has an abundance of lighthearted, happy, and sweet moments that nicely offset it.
Brendan and Ryan feel an instant attraction but both have doubts and are cautious, causing them to go slowly. When they finally, truly begin to connect, it is more than obvious that these two wonderful men are absolutely, perfectly matched. They unite as a sweet, loving, protective couple, with sizzling chemistry, meeting each others' needs, and develope a deep, genuine love that leads to a sweetly satisfying HEA.
This book is very well written, you can feel the intensity of their situation, the passion of their emotions, and so much love.
Brendan's family as well as their partners and a neighbour, are a big part of this story, and they all accept Ryan and envelop him in acceptance, friendship, and love.
I read an ARC of this book, this is my honest opinion.
I would absolutely recommend this book. This is the first book I've read by this author but I will be looking for more.

ARC received from GRR for an honest review.

Ryan is an Omega little who's running from a stalker. When he answers an ad for a job and runs into Wade (Sweet Alps book 2) he realizes his life is in the upswing. Now all he needs is his Daddy.

Brendan is an Alpha Daddy who thinks he's found his boy or maybe not. He's fine with boys but he's not sure about a little. Maybe he needs to talk to someone who knows littles.

When Ryan and Brendan meet again they seem to have one surprise after another. This on top of the stalker keeps them very busy. With help from family and friends they just might survive this stalker.

I've never read a Daddy/little book before but I really enjoyed this one. There is lots of action. The chemistry between Ryan and Brendan is good. They blend into their romance seamlessly. I really liked the scenes where Ryan got sassy and Brendan called him on it. The scene where Ryan's in the ER and Brendan gets tired of the commotion was funny. Only drawback for me was the over abundance of times that was mentioned about Ryan pouring slick. It wasn't sexy IMO and sounded kind of gross. Definitely recommend this series.

Independent reviewer for GRR, I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is book 3 in the Sweet Alps series. I have not read the others and I did not feel I was missing anything by not doing so.

For the most part, I did enjoy this book, I really did.

I liked that it took time for Ry and Daddy Brendan to properly connect. I liked that Ryan tells Brendan of his problems BEFORE they enter into anything. I liked that Brendan seeks help as to how to properly look of Ry when he is little. I even liked the stalker storyline, and how that all panned out. Didn't see that coming at me. I liked that I can see a certain pair of shifters getting together!

BUT

There are some points along the way that the wording of sentences really grated on my nerves. He did NOT "drug" the chair across the room (not actually from the book,but just using to make my point) he DRAGGED the chair. I'm fairly certain this is a local lingo thing, to the author's locality, but to me? Nuh-uh. Once, I can let it go, but it happens more than once. At that point, I switched to "let's get this finished, eh?" mode.

So, I'm sorry, I will not be following this series.

3 stars

This is the first book from this author that I've read and I loved it.

Brendan was the perfect Daddy for a boy but was worried about being a good Daddy to a little, which sadly prolonged the relationship pace.

Brendan and Noah were great together and I am super glad that the TWO YEARS of slow burn was done off p-age, before the book was even set.

Noah was super cute and doesn't deserve everything that he is going through.

As well as having a driven plot, the characters and side characters alike were brilliant, both of these things made the book a 4 star rating. I'm honestly not sure why I can't give the book 5 stars, because even though I loved everything il just feel like there was something missing?

I can't wait for the rest of this series! I'm so sure that Asher and Gabe will get together and I really want to see my favourite of the Sinclair brothers *cough* Jamie *cough*, get his happy ending. I hope we see more of Becks somewhere too.

His Precious Omega is the third book in the Sweet Alps Mates series by author Raiven Matthews. This is the first time I have read this series. I did not feel lost. I loved the artwork in this book so beautiful. I love when the author puts in the small details that make a book shine. This story is told in dual POV which really works for this story.

Brendan: owns a high-end retail chain. It has been in the family for generations. He loves his work. It is a legacy for him. He is a werewolf. He also has two brothers that are also triplets with him.

Being a daddy is in his blood. He wants a sweet boy to come home to who wants to just be with him and grow old together.

Ryan, he was at the club owned by Brendan’s brother. He was in his PJ shorts. When he meets Brendan for the first time, he knows he is his mate. Ryan is a fox shifter. He also has a stalker who is willing to do anything to have Ryan as his own.

Overall, this story is great. It is book three so fans of the series might get more out of this story than I did, but I loved this particular story and cannot wait to read what I have missed.

Swwoooooonnn!!!! My heart!!! Ryan and Brendan own my heart! Their relationship is just so sweet and spicy and everything that is good!! I really liked how Raiven spaced this book and the last a lot of times with a series especially with a sibling series the couplings happen absurdly close together where as Raiven actually spaces out the siblings finding their mates
And speaking of the siblings we get to see more of the first two couples as well as more of the dark and mysterious Jamie and huggable Gabe! I cannot wait for Gabe’s book!! I mean I’m excited for Jamie’s book but Gabe is baby lol Raiven writes compelling mcs as well as side characters, which we see more and more with every book.
I loved seeing Ryan and Brendan’s relationship grow and flourish, and seeing Ryan thrive surrounded by the Sinclair family and friends.
The stalker was the perfect amount of creepy without being over the top or nightmare inducing. But there is on page stalking so if that is a trigger for you, you may want to skip this one as it’s important to take care of your mental health.
