This is another very well written book from this author. This is a standalone book, but it is set in the world the author made for her series. The characters are both strong and perfect for each other. I love how the characters are not perfect and have depth to them. It’s a fairly short book and a really enjoyable one.

Roclan is investigating a crime and he ends up arresting Nyan. Nyan doesn’t need to escape but she still tries to fight the attraction (or compulsion). But Nyan has her own agenda and is fighting her attraction to Roclan so she can complete her destiny. Roclan needs to find out who actually did the crime so he can save Nyan. Even though she admitted to it, he knows he has to try and find a way to save her as she is his mate. Lovely story with two individuals trying to fight their destiny.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable novella. Set in an omegaverse world that is low technology and contains magic (though we don’t experience that aspect in this book) the novella focuses hugely on the two main characters Roclan and Nyan.
I really liked both characters, and the author managed to include some important personal growth for Roclan. Not easy to achieve in a novella. The pair definitely had intense chemistry and overall this felt fairly consensual, so I wouldn’t classify it as dark. It’s a very good book to either try this as a new author or to sample what the MF Omegaverse worlds have to offer, without falling into the darkness of many other books in the genre.
There were times when I would have liked, in fact needed, to be experiencing the other MC’s point of view. Characters made some important decisions and we only saw those as observers, rather than experiencing those decisions via thoughts and feelings. It led to a feel of tell rather than show at times but that is a typical weakness of novellas, there just isn’t the time to tell a complex story, build character depth and convince us of a forever love.
Compulsion is well written and, as I’ve already said, an enjoyable read. I do recommend it if you’re a fan of this author and if you’re looking for a quick, steamy, low angst omegaverse read.
Absolutely Awesome Read, well written, great characters, Awesome story line, easy read to hold you on their journey, this genre might not be for everyone but its a really wonderful story cannot wait for more from this Author.

I’m going to need to backtrack just because this one so captivated me. Did I need to read the previous stories to start this one? Absolutely NOT. The storyline, plot, and characters are so strong, keeping me enthralled from the first page to the last, in order to find out what was going to happen, what were their reactions, and what was going to happen next. This one captured my imagination and I’ll definitely be watching for the next one. I was so happy to be given an ARC of this book by Booksprout and this is my honest and voluntary review.
Loved the book it was great,the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Once I started I could not put the book down from start to finish you just could not get enough left you wanting more twists and turns with emotions that makes you want more with Roclan and his Omega Nyan, the chemistry between them is intense hot and steamy.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

This was a fantastic story. I was completely hooked from the first page until the last. Lox warrior Roclan is sent to investigate a killing that Nyan, an Omega healer, has confessed to. Upon arriving Roclan finds that the prisoner is his mate. Roclan is determined to get to the truth and save Nyan. This story is well written, with amazing characters, and kept me guessing what would happen next. I highly recommend it.

Compulsion is yet another quick and easy read in this captivating series and reintroduces readers familiar with the original series to Roclan. Roclan is the type of rock steady male that every woman wants in her life. Caring, considerate and patient; he is the real thing! I liked everything about this story and my only criticism is it could have been longer. Great characters, a good plot and storyline, and and easy ebb and flow to the writing, made this an overall wonderful read.
Roclan is a Lox warrior and wants to be a general but has been turned down three times already. To prove himself worthy, he is sent to investigate a murder. Nyan is a healer and locked up in a cell for the murder of a general and is to be executed. Thoroughly enjoyed this story.
ONE JAM-PACKED JOY RIDE!!!
Electrifying! Zoey releases one heart pounding, pulse racing, adrenaline pumping, block busting delight, wielding this bad boy together piece by piece. A tightly coiling tempest of daunting circumstances and a bevy of unexpected events, blasts this jewel to life brilliantly. Skirting the drama, intrigue, danger and soaring suspense, keeping you riveted on a razors edge. Add heated desires, secrets and turmoil along with unforseen situations and a boatload of trouble makes for one explosive adventure. The undeniable attraction and intense chemistry sizzles, alluring and mesmerizing binding them to one another perfectly. The characters are authentic and realistic with traits and qualities that blend into outstanding personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and descriptions, it gives the illusion you were right there in the middle of ground zero with them. Remarkable job Zoey, thanks for sharing this baby with us.
There aren’t a lot of Omegaverse stories that I’ve read but I seem to keep coming back to Zoey Ellis’ versions. They’re compelling and intriguing. This one sucked me in until the end. It’s steamy with a great story that had me unable to put it down. The push and pull between Nyan and Roclan was amazing and their chemistry was sizzling.

This book was so fun to read. Roclan is sent to investigate a prisoner charged with murder of a Lox general. Problem is she’s Nyan an Omega healer. Roclan realizes that Nyan is his Omega and you can watch him as he gathers information about the crime she’s accused of committing so he can save her life. This was a page turner and very fast paced. These book just keep getting better and better. Next please. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Roclan wants to become a general for the lox army, but he keeps getting denied and with trying to find his mate at the match events he’s getting upset . Going to the higher ups to put his grievances he is tested by going to dorri to check out a prisoner who was accused of killing the general there.Awesome story of find truths.
It hit me about 2/3 of the way through Compulsion that the story, rather than the usual alpha/omega finding their relationship, is really about the hero and his journey. Frankly, the relationship between Roclan and Nyan is determined pretty quickly. She’s a prisoner, he’s the man sent to find out why she murdered the governor of her region, and most of the book ends up being its own form of cabin romance as the story focuses entirely on these two in her prison cell.
What makes Compulsion stand out from other ABO books is that unique spin and its gradual evolution. Nothing Ellis does with Roclan hits you over the head that he is changing. Indeed, he still has stereotypical entitled views that come from being an alpha and a warrior, but they slowly and surely modify, creeping up on the reader the way they do on Roclan. I loved this inevitable accretion of change and the way it complimented Nyan. She is a great character in her own right as she has agency even as an omega, serving as a regional doctor with a broad patient base and wide respect in her community. This makes the central mystery of why she killed the governor that much more intriguing.
Ellis has written more stereotypical ABO, but I think Compulsion is a much more interesting take on a subgenre that can easily fall into cliché. It’s also a stand-alone, which earns major points in my book. I highly recommend Compulsion as a way to discover if Ellis is for you without having to commit to a three-book saga. I couldn’t put it down.
Entertaining novella that takes place in the Lox Empire from the Myth of Omega series. Zoey Ellis creates complex characters, and thankfully, strong and likeable heroines. That, IMO, is fundamental, since it’s been too often that a TSTL fmc has spoiled a good story for me.
In this case, Roclan was a total god of an alpha, huge, overbearing, growly, glorious alpha and I loved how he treated Nyan and how she (a sweet omega with a backbone) reacted to him. The story involves a mistery that Roclan is sent to investigate as a representative of the Lox; everything seems to be pretty straightforward at first (Nyan being the alleged killer), but Roclan sees there a mistery to unravel and…surprise, surprise!
Funnily enough, I enjoyed the most the last third of the story, the author wrote a well-thought argument to conclude the plot, although I’d have loved to read more about it. It reminded me of the politicians in my country LOL
Sexy times were enjoyable, very omegaversy (just made that up), so hoooot!
I do prefer longer books, but if you feel like reading something shorter, this novella has got all the ingredients: sex, passion, a good plot and a captivating world.
This is a great read. Nyan has confessed to a killing and Roclan is sent to investigate. Upon arrival Roclan finds that the prisoner is his mate and he goes about finding out the full story. Roclan’s idea of interrogating his mate is very sexually oriented. The story is well written, entertaining and holds your attention. I would highly recommend this book.
I received a copy from Booksprout for an honest review.
This dark m/f omegaverse romance was enjoyable, but the editing was not up to this author’s usual standards. There were multiple missing transition words and wrong word choices per page. If this novella was available through Kindle Unlimited, that might be okay, but as far as I am aware, this novel is only available for purchase. My recommendation is that this novel be pulled for copy editing before being put back up for sale. It is a shame, because the story is gripping and entertaining, with top-notch characterization of both the hero and heroine of this romance. I love the fact that this author is writing stand alone romances in her fantasy omegeverse world, since the one thing I really disliked about her previous omegaverse romances was the fact that they were all trilogies with cliffhanger endings. The world building of this fantasy world was vivid and a character in itself. The characterization, relationship development of the romance, and the fantasy world building of this novel makes this a four star novel I would recommend to any reader who is a fan of m/f omegaverse romances. However, the egregious editing and quality issues of the final product makes this a two star novel for a final grade of three stars. I do not recommend anyone buy this novel until the quality control issues have been fixed.

Charming! Excellent novella with a tight, fast paced plot and plenty of steam.
Roclan is sent to investigate a prisoner being charged with murder of a Lox general. The prisoner is none other than Nyan, an Omega healer, and when they meet sparks fly. I loved the push and pull that came from an Omega prisoner being ‘interrogated’ by an Alpha. Nyan was lovely, Zoey Ellis always writes very likable Omegas.
This novella was loads of fun, with lots of charm. There’s plenty of plot, the pacing is just right, and the writing is very polished. I think what makes these novellas so great is that they have the world-building of Myth of Omega behind them. A solid standalone, I think this could be read without having read any of the other Myth of Omega books. Although people will probably appreciate the world-building more if they’ve at least read Crave to Conquer.
