He’s not a robot. He’s not a human. He’s both. Liege, changed against his will into a super soldier by nanotechnology, is driven to protect humanity from the evil intent of his enemies. But the deadly focus he was wired for comes to a crashing halt when he sees her, a female who ignites in him a very human hunger, one he no longer thought himself capable of feeling. Summer Coltrane is oblivious … Coltrane is oblivious to the powers swirling around her–light and dark, evil and good–until the veil between both worlds is ripped open and she’s plunged into a terrible power play between a darkly tempting warrior and his ruthless enemies.
To stay alive, she must join forces with Liege, a man who kills without remorse to save those he loves in a war no one in her world can know about.

O-Men: Liege’s Legion is the first book in a Paranormal Romance series that is a crossover with The Red Team, a Romantic Suspense series by the same author. Both series deal with a common enemy, The Omni, but from different organizations.
The Red Team and the Legion fight the Omni, but one fights the humans that are a part of the Omni while the other fights the altered humans or mutants that were created in the Omni’s labs. These “soldiers” were injected with nanotechnology that grants them supernatural powers such as telekinesis, telepathy, the ability to alter reality, erase memories, invisibility, project illusions, etc.
The Legion is an organization composed of a great number of altered humans who rebelled against their creators, and now fight their evil creations while protecting humanity from total doom.
Sam Garrick aka Liege is the leader of the world wide Legion of altered humans as well as the lead warrior in a group of friends that were with him at the training camps where they were changed forever and now share a Fort in a land near Fort Collins, Colorado. Sam is a romantic, down to earth, old soul that has found himself in the rare situation of meeting his life mate. Sam is left questioning whether or not this could be an enemy trick or the sick joke of a long lost legend in the world of mutants. In his world, Love was a Curse. Love was dead. Summer was his end.
Summer Coltrane is a human, or as referred to by mutants, a regular. She is working her dream job in a place that she dislikes and lately even fears. She surrounds herself with peace, beauty and the friendship of two wonderful women that are by all accounts her soul sisters. She is a creative, brave, sweet, and vegetarian heroine. Meeting Sam meant finding the one, the man that her romantic soul has been yearning for, but it also meant accepting the impossible, that monsters are real and that evil incarnate was after her. Loving Sam meant a life without peace.
Liege’s Legion is a good beginning to what feels like another great series by Mrs. Elaine Levine. A series full of breathtaking twists and unforgettable characters in world beautifully crafted.
I really enjoyed this book. If your a fan of the Red Team you’ll like this one! The difference is it has a paranormal flair. They are soldiers that are enhanced. Well written and action packed. I highly recommend this book!
I loved this first book in the new O-Men Series! Elaine Levine’s books are so well written and tightly edited, you don’t have the distractions of editing in your head as you read, so you can sit back and enjoy the ride. While I’m not a huge fan of paranormal storylines, I like how she ventured a bit more into the paranormal without having it overwhelm the storyline. Despite their many differences, Liege and Summer are meant to be together and they are strong characters together and on their own. The author is so adept at describing environments and setting the scenes, you feel as if you are inside the story yourself.
This book has a HEA and no cliffhanger, and I highly recommend reading The Red Team if you haven’t already, not because you need to, but because you will want more once you’ve finished Liege. I ‘m really looking forward to reading Bastion and Serena’s story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. To be fair I read and reread The Red Team series. I found the introduction to the O-Men entertaining and intriguing. Summer and Sam’s(Liege) love story was like a great cup of coffee – good to last drop. I could not resist the coffee cliche. The love story was both sweet and sexy. The attraction between Summer and Sam a ongoing simmer that made their love seem more realistic in the end.I appreciated that Summer didn’t become a brainless twit because she was falling in love. I enjoyed the relationship between Summer and her best buds immensely. She didn’t step away from the people who occupied her life because of her feelings for Sam. Her support system was solid and didn’t disappear because her life was changing. Something that happens all too often in romance books.The same can be said for Sam’s support system. The Men of Liege supported Sam and encouraged him to go for his relationship. The one thing that didn’t ring true for me is the lack of discussion regarding the interracial relationship. On Sam’s part, I understand. His reality is colored by being in the army, traveling the world and being a mutant. On Summer’s part, I expected something. Even if it was a simple declaration that the color thing wasn’t an issue for her because… one of her dearest friends is black, her parents are hippies or she has dated outside her race before. This story takes place in everyday America. Race relations are ingrained in our society. Not addressing that seemed like a glaring plot hole to me. Other than that, I thought, Ms. Levine did an excellent job of introducing an intricate new series providing enough information to keep a reader interested in the world she has created. She, also, did a fantastic job introducing intriguing, realistic characters to root for in the battle I thoroughlyRed Team series in this story.

I loved Elaine Levine’s Red Team series, some more than others, so I was really excited to read this series. I cannot say that I didn’t enjoy reading Liege, because I did, but I felt like there was something missing. It felt like not a whole lot has happened in this book and it seemed a bit repetitive to me. It’s a pity because I’ve been wanting to read Liege for the longest time and I was expecting to be blown away but it just fell a little short. Will continue to read the series though.
He is part man part robot. He was changed against his will to fight a war he did not want a part of. Then he saw her and he knew he wanted her in a very human way, he never expected to feel like it again. Will she become drew into the war? Will she have a connection? See how they get on

This is my first time reading anything by this author and I’m not sure if she’s an author for me. The plot seems well thought out and it seems this is the beginning of a series. The world is different and well described. The characters are interesting and have some depth to them. So, what’s the problem? I’m not sure, I just wasn’t really enthralled by the book, but that’s why we have different authors. There really is nothing wrong with this book, it’s just not my thing.

Did not want to put Liege down. Liege tries to not get close to Summer because he doesn’t want her to die. Summer has to decide if she will live in Liege’s world. Love their story.
Having read this author’s Red Team, I was curious as to the new series. Interesting with the paranormal and think I need to read again for all the nuances for Sam and Summer along with the storyline.

As a fan of Elaine Levine’s Red Team Series, I was excited that she planned to continue the story of the Omni world in her new series. As a reader of Contemporary and Romance Fiction, I wasn’t sure what to expect in this new series. I would describe this story of Liege as fantastical realism. While the relationships are genuine and real, the extraordinary changes that are the new normal took a little time to wrap your head around. I appreciated the way the characters thought processes and actions were explained, as this smoothed the transition into the rest of the story. I was pulling for Summer and Sam/Liege throughout the story. I enjoyed getting to know the men of Leige’s Legion and I loved how we were left with the potential for other matches to be made in future stories as this series continues.
Elaine Levine is a quality writer and I look forward to reading the next book in the O-Men Series .

This is the 1st book I’ve read written by Elaine Levine; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.

The first book in the O-Men: Liege’s Legion series and I want to read the next book. This is a story I could not stop reading, so I will warn do not start at bedtime. This is Summer Coltrane and Sam Garrick aka Liege’s story.I recommend this book.
I love love love Elaine’s Red Team series, I am a true fan of hers because of that series. I must admit, it took some time to get into this book. I didn’t know what to expect and wasn’t really prepared for this spin-off starting with Liege. I did settle into it after getting through the whole setup of the characters and plot. I did love the Liege and Summer relationship. Elaine does good with the “fun” parts. I’m hoping for great things from this series and can’t wait for Bastion. This review was given voluntarily after reading an ARC.
This book is intense and has a complex storyline. That’s what I liked most about it. I am a fan of paranormal, but this is one of the few super soldier books that I’ve read. I didn’t disappoint. There’s a lot of information, and it’s a great build to a new series. Leige and Summer have a great chemistry and compliment each other perfectly. I love that there are questions that get answered, but there are some left unanswered and it leaves you wondering exactly what will happen in the future.
Having read the Red Team series it was great to get the perspective of some of those forced into the trials and how they felt and dealt with what happened, the on going fight with mutants and trying to find answers. This is action packed and exciting, full of interesting places and characters, it also has some love. The descriptions are detailed and clear so give you an image in your head of the look of both places and people. Fast flowing plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat at times, and others melting with emotion. I love these men and it breaks my heart what was done to them and how it all affected their whole life, the fear and worry and the sadness and anger. Though complex the story was easy fore to follow as I knew threw the background from the previous series, I am however looking forward to a time when both sides merge because working together may benefit them all as each brings answers, questions and solutions to the table. Fantastic read

Sci-fi is not my normal reading genre but this book grabbed me from the first chapter and held me captive to the end. Liege aka Sam is the leader of a group of men who were turned into mutant super soldiers against their will while they were in the service. They were given injections that caused them to have heightened senses and abilities. They are now hunting and trying to kill those who turned them and are continuing their experiments. Liege encounters a being called The Matchmaker who finds a mutant’s human soulmate. The Matchmaker comes with a curse…either the mutant or the woman died. Summer is a human, or regular, and The Matchmaker visits her also tell her to go to Liege, only he can save her. When these two meet, it’s insta attraction until the monsters and other mutants show up. Then Summer is in danger and denial. This book has bosses from h€££, 2 bffs and lots of hot steamy scenes. This is my first time reading this author but it definitely won’t be my last.
For all of the Red Team series, the working of the OWO have been slowly peeled back. It is not pretty, and there’s some ruthless people at work. We are invested in these characters as we have watched their lives change. Now we are being introduced to the outcomes of the OWO’s experimentation and manipulation. It’s unlike what we’ve previously seen but it’s not unexpected. We’ve been getting hints something like this has been going on and now we are actually seeing the result. No Spoilers…but its really cool. Now we have a new batch of fighters of the OWO and they have special skills. That’s as far as I am going to go in that direction. It is, at its core, a love story. And quite the touching love story it is. I wasn’t sure when I began how I would feel about this, but I really really enjoyed it. I was enchanted by the characters, especially knowing I would be seeing them in future books. I really liked seeing “old friends” from the Red Team (so glad we are not completely done with them yet). Elaine writes a wicked story and she captures you in her world. You get vested in her people and you want them to find their happily ever after. But along the way you cheer for them, cry for them, and eagerly anticipate their next adventure. Although you can read this book standalone, I would highly recommend reading the Red Team series first.
