BRVL –Book Review Virginia Lee
Omega Reimagined contains the first three novellas in the series with each book focusing on a different couple. Each novella can be read as a standalone, but there is a continuing storyline that carries through. All three romances address a different very human topic, but it’s done shifter style. Not only that, but it’s done shifter omega style in this non-MPreg omegaverse. It’s certainly an interesting and different take on what I’ve seen before in omegaverse with the underlying theme of it’s not about the gender, race, or social class, it’s about the person, or in this case, the wolf. The stories are fun and engaging, and these couples do generate more than their fair share of steam. Usually, in a series, I have a favorite couple or book, but if pressed to pick one here, I’m not sure I could. Each couple brings something different to the table, the characters are likable, and all three couples have good chemistry. All in all, the whole thing made for an entertaining read. I read one story each evening since they are novellas, but I had to force myself to stop at the end of each because I wanted to see what would be next for this intriguing world.
Wonderful ABO Collection!
This was a wonderful collection! All of these are well written and plotted, sweet and relatively low angst books, with great chemistry between the MC’s, and hot and creative sexytimes (heats, knotting, fisting, etc.). There are some dub/non con themes, but nothing graphic on page. I think these are best as a series, and not stand-alone, but they could probably be read that way.
Book 1: I liked this one best. At least, I’ve read this one the most! I think this was my third time. Angel and Leo are an amazing couple, and the book is such a great read.
Book 2: Maybe I liked this one best! Ryker and Gage have an awesome dynamic, and there is some really unique plotting in this story. One of the more unique sweet ABO books I’ve read, in a thought-provoking way.
Book 3: I also liked this one very much. Omega/omega, which I’ve never read before, and some toe-curling kink. Great relationship between these two, and they are such a cute team.
This is a great set of shifter-themed stories. One warning – There is frequent sex, so if that isn’t your thing, this book probably isn’t for you.
Omega Reclaimed –
I really felt for Leo. He’s a spirited omega trapped in a world where society doesn’t give him any rights. He escaped an abusive mate, but he can’t escape biology. Angel is just incredibly sweet, a progressive Alpha in a society whose rules he doesn’t agree with. Leo’s heat brings them together. Good story with lots of heat.
Omega Revealed
I couldn’t help falling in love with Ryker and Gage. Gage could be the poster child for anyone ever born who more closely identifies with a different race or sex than the one they were born as. Gage was born a beta wolf shifter, but he doesn’t feel like a beta and he doesn’t have beta skills like organization. He feels like an Omega, has the slim build of an Omega, and craves a strong traditional Alpha to take control of him. Ryker is a well-meaning, if somewhat useless and powerless, Alpha in his pack. Still, he is the first person to accept that Gage feels like an Omega inside, and he is fiercely protective of Gage’s right to be who and what he wishes. Gage is willing to do whatever it takes to be recognized for who he is and to be with the alpha he loves, and Ryker will do anything to make his Omega happy. I loved the strong, if occasionally silly, characters Tonya has created. Gage’s angst is heart-felt but not too heavy, and some passages made me laugh, like the descriptions of Ryker’s Omega pornography. Overall, an enjoyable read about being true to yourself and holding out for what you want.
Omega Released
Great story with fun wolf shifter characters. Benjy has been brought to the city by his father to find an alpha due to a lack of options in their home in the Hinterlands. Benjy has led a sheltered life, and his family has led him to believe he is of little value and should accept ANY alpha who will have him. But things are different in the city, and Benjy soon learns with the help of sexually free omega JT that he has choices and he can get whatever he wants. Benjy starts to reconsider if an alpha is really what he wants. This is a fun story, with exhibitionists, unconventional thinking, a matchmaker who isn’t really trying, and lots of sex. I loved the characters, even Benjy’s uptight father.
I received an ARC and have voluntarily left this honest review.
I received an ARC edition of this book from the author.
This collection was interesting, certainly a different take on the a/b/o style than normal (and not m-preg, just to note). I do think there was some room for a bit more world-building, but the stories were much more character based than a typical shifter story.
Omega Reclaimed
Leo was certainly an independent omega, which certainly set him apart from other the way other omegas are portrayed in this story. Angel was rather sweet and caring, though occasionally he did need to be reminded that Leo was more his equal than an omega to be rescued. I thought they made a good pairing.
Omega Revealed
This was my favorite out of the collection. I liked how Ryker accepted Gage for who he was, rather than expecting him to conform to how he had been born. They certainly had their issues and misunderstandings, but I thought they handled them well and worked to finding a solution that would fit for them.
Omega Released
This was my least favorite story. I found Benjy a bit too naive for my taste in the story, when his heat hit I wasn’t feeling like he actually had enough knowledge of what was going on to make an informed choice. JT was a bit too over the top for my taste. They might have been a good match, but I just had trouble seeing it.
The most interesting thing about this series is the care the author has taken with world building and politics. There are obviously hot alpha/omega scenes and characters who fall in love and struggle to build strong relationships, but it is interesting political questions addressed that held me. In this world, male omegas do not get pregnant. That has led to them being considered, in many groups lesser beings useful only as sexual playthings for the alphas. They can be “disciplined” by their alphas and have little to no recourse under the law if that becomes abuse. The society closes its eyes and pretends all is well. The books explore the case of what happens when strong and loving alphas and omegas begin to challenge the old ways and demand equality and respect. What laws should change, who can/should change them? If you find these issues appealing, handled expertly within the context of a hot omega romance, these are the books for you.
This book is so much fun. It’s full of novellas that have love, heat, and great storylines.
I love reading Omegaverse and this collection was no exception. The world that Tanya Chris has built is unique and has a fresh take on the Omega/Alpha relationships that this genre brings to the table.
If you’re looking for feisty omegas and the alphas who will do anything to love and protect them, along with some knots, then you’re in the right place.
This bundle is a compilation of three stories based on a world of shifters where Alphas, betas and omegas are very differentiated. They can be read alone but together they give you that sense of a gender fluid society the author is conveying in the series. I loved all the characters with their flaws, and the strength they find in love and a pack that is opening up to new possibilities. Can’t wait for the next one!
Overall, I enjoyed all three stories and will read more from this series.
Omega Reclaimed – 4 Stars
I enjoyed this story more than most shifter stories I’ve read. This wasn’t about insta-love lets mate because of the pull, and it had a strong omega through out the entire story. I loved how Leo even to the end stuck to his guns and wouldn’t change just for an Alpha, even if Angel was an amazing Alpha. I think both worked well together.
Omega Revealed – 4 Stars
I wasn’t sure what to expect in this story, but I found the author did a good job portraying gender dysphoria. Gage is an omega trapped in a beta’s body. Ryker is an alpha who mostly understands, but did make a mistake a time or two. I enjoyed watching them work through the different changes they both had to learn to accept. I thought they were both wonderful together and Gage couldn’t have found a more perfect Alpha for himself.
Omega Released – 3.5 Stars
I wasn’t a big fan of JT at first, but I think he made up for it. I didn’t feel the bond between the two in this story like I did in the others, but I could tell Benjy cared for JT. I like the idea of two omegas finding love together.
This is a collection of the first three books of this series and given that I had not read any of them, I enjoyed having all the stories together. Each episode is a stand alone story about the most diverse couples you may find in the A/B/O world, each unique but all connected as they live in the same progressive town governed by a female lead alpha. There is a common thread among the stories, so reading them one after the other is quite entertaining and I really can’t wait to see how that issue will be solved (no spoiler here). If like me you have not read any of the books, here is a quick review of each relationship:
Leo and Angel ***
As I later understood, this first story is meant to set the background of the world where all the books of this series will take place, a world where the A/B/O distinctions are pretty clear, accepted and followed by all wolfs, but that the MCs want to change, bend and reform also in the light of the rules applied in the human world. This might not be an MPREG story but the dynamic of the wolf world is the same and influences greatly the MCs.
Angel and Leo are the two rebels who start all this change but they have to fight greatly against their own instincts and the nature of their bodies. It is quite a messy, slick endeavour and for most of the book quite not romantic. Most of the storyline follows again and again the same pattern: Leo is suffering his heat, Angel comes and rescues him with his power knot, repeat a few weeks later.
The fact that the story is told only from Angel’s POV and that Leo is most of the time unable to correctly function and think due to the heat prevent the development of a romantic side of their connection and you have to wait until the last two chapters to read about their feelings outside of the bed, the mutual respect and acceptance, about Leo’s strength and Angel’s full acceptance of his own role in the shifter community.
So this is just barely 3* for me because I really missed the romance.
Gage and Ryker ***
This story was much more engaging that the first book of the series.
First of all it was written from both MCs POV and though they did spend a lot of time getting very intimate, the author dedicated more scenes describing their interaction with the outside world and dialogues were used to exchange feelings and concerns.
The main issue dealt with in this story – the discrepancy between one’s exterior/genetic appearance and one’s true internal self and the consequent reaction of the outside world – was well described and solved. Gage and Ryker were a perfect match, both looking for a connection that might be considered as unnatural by their people, but that just perfectly worked for them.
It was nice to read again about Angel and Leo and seeing that they were still working very well as a team.
Overall 3.5* close to 4*
JT and Benjy
These two omegas go against any and all principles of the A/B/O world and thrive in their closed lust/love soaked nest. They are the most versatile couple of the series so far and should have opened a toys shop rather than a library. Trigger warning: if you value order and cleanliness, you might have issues with JT’s housekeeping abilities; two omega wolves in heat together are messy….
Because they are sweet and vulnerable and strong and needy but not too much, their story earns 4*
This is a fantastic, fast paced, grab-you-by-the-feels, amazing, action packed, emotionally charged, sexy, bittersweet, poignant, heartbreaking yet hopeful, intense, raw, gritty, gripping, enthralling, and totally awesome collection. It had me hooked from beginning to end, and I absolutely hated when I had to put it down. I would DEFINITELY recommend getting this marvelous masterpiece ASAP.
I really like this author’s style of writing & this splendid MM shifter romance collection has the first three fascinating novels of the series in it. Each of these novels can be read as a standalone & has well-paced, interesting plots are filled with some unusual or quirky situations. There is some good scenes descriptions & world building. The characters in each of the novels are quite well-developed & portray realistic emotional feelings according to the circumstances they find themselves in.
There is: wolf shifters, wolf packs, omegas, alphas, humans, traditions, political issues, gender identity issues, arranged marriages, unwanted claimings, family issues, fated mates, some humor, drama, intrigue, suspense, deceit, secrets, prejudices, disagreements, confrontations, conflict, violence, memories, heat issues, frustrations, loneliness, self-esteem issues, vulnerability, some mild BDSM, doubts, opinions, attractions, playfulness, assumptions, fantasies, arousal, advice, acceptance, contentment, steamy scenes & well-deserved, satisfying conclusions.
Omega Reimagined is a perfect title for this volume. As always, Tanya Chris brings her own unique flair, her own unmatched perspective on a genre. The way she writes is incredibly captivating; transporting the reader right into the world she creates. It definitely deserves a heat warning all of its own! The complexity of this is astounding. It is more than just shifter books, more than Alpha/Beta/Omego, it’s about living life on your terms.
Omega Reclaimed – 4.5 stars
My only complaint was it started off a little slow. Other than that, it gave me exactly what I needed. It kept me wondering what was going to happen and surprised me every step of the way. My heart ached over this one. I fell right in love with Leo and Angel. For fantasy, this is so incredibly realistic it had me believing in shifters and A/B/O.
Omega Revealed – 5 stars
I can’t believe I could fall in love even more for two characters but Ryker and Gage are the epitome of relationship goals. I cried over this one even as I laughed. It hit me so incredibly hard. This. This is what life is about.
Omega Released – 5 stars
Wow JT and Benjy shocked me. I have no idea how Tanya Chris can pour such intricacy, development and chemistry into two characters but I’m extremely grateful. Every word of this is addictive and awe-inspiring.
Overall
It’s hard to describe this series adequately, other than to just say it’s a must read. For anyone curious about A/B/O or is hesitant, this is the best one to read. It does not contain mpreg but that didn’t detract at all. It may even be a positive for some. The stories crafted in this volume are intriguing, hot, and so much than a collection of shifter reads. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series!
5 stars for an emotional, complex, and sexy read.
The stories in this box set are easily read as standalones but Author Tanya Chris has crafted an interesting take on shifters and their gender identities, conflicts and dilemmas, with different aspects highlighted in each story. All super steamy and well-written.
My thoughts on each one:
Omega Reclaimed
There’s a whole lot of knottin’ goin’ on: steamy!
4stars
This shifter story was high on heat but was not as good as Omega Revealed, the second book in the series. The plot is pretty basic. Author Tanya Chris likes to use these stories to challenge gender and expected shifter societal roles and, in Omega Reclaimed, she highlights the question of just how much an alpha’s superior social position and greater strength should allow him (or her) to get away with?
Omega Leo wants to escape from the chains of a bad, brutal claiming but fears his pack regards him as the property of his alpha with no recourse to his alpha’s violence. Having friendly alpha Angel at his side seems like a good idea but complications ensue. I was hoping they could find a happy solution and, after a lot of clinches in both human and wolf form, they address the obstacles preventing their future happiness.
Omega Revealed
Scorching heat as a shifter fights to transform his identity
5stars
So glad I found this author! 🙂 This story has tremendous heat and an unusual storyline that kept me gripped to the end. It’s only my second read by this author and I have found that in each she crafted a unique tale that sets her writing apart from the usual paranormal novel.
Gage was the real star of this story for me. He is so-o ready to find an alpha who he can totally submit to, yet he is fierce in his fight to get others to acknowledge and accept that his true nature is not the one that genetics and shifter society has assigned to him. I was rooting for him all the way. He even has to fight his own sister’s preconceptions, and she has her own societal pressures to overcome, so that’s a bit ironic!
The chemistry between Gage and his alpha dream Ryker is raw and off the charts. Ryker, although his strong alpha tendencies are front and center, has a tender side to him that makes him very likable and a suitable match for Gage if and when Gage can overcome his beta birth!
I received a complimentary advance copy of this book; this is my voluntary and honest review.
Omega Released
Hot times in the wolftown tonight!
4stars
There’s definitely a moral to this story — don’t let others tell you how your life should be lived and who you should love; only you know what’s best for you. This message comes through loud and clear as newcomer omega wolf shifter Benjy goes in search of a perfect mate. He’s a bit of a Dorothy from Kansas, innocent and curious as he seeks a partner. In the process, whew, does he get exposed to a broad range of experiences, all of them hot and eye opening. The world Chris drops Benjy into is drenched in sensuality and his shyness does not last!
Apart from the spicy couplings, there’s not as much action or plot development as I have grown to expect from the author, whose novels I discovered a few years ago. This was not among my Chris favorites like High Lonesome, Predestination Unknown, Aftershock, Aftercare and Omega Revealed, but its main theme is interesting and explores social norms and those brave enough to challenge traditional gender identity roles in the pursuit of happiness.
