Growing up in the Hinterlands hasn’t prepared Benjy for life in North Leland where the alphas grow to an alarming size and he’s expected to get a job. He’s never been farther than running distance from his den until the morning his father drops him off in the city to be claimed by the first alpha who‘ll have him. Of all the things Benjy isn’t prepared for, finding his own mate is at the top of … the list.
Fortunately, JT has all that covered—a bed to sleep in, a job at the library he’s in the process of opening, even matchmaking services. There might be wolves in North Leland who disapprove of JT’s wild omega ways, but he knows all the hottest alphas and he for sure knows how to take care of himself. He can take care of Benjy too, even when Benjy goes into his first heat. But could any of North Leland’s alphas really be good enough for his precious potato?
As the library takes shape, Benjy makes friends and settles into life in North Leland, but he’s not getting any closer to picking out an alpha. Why would he want to when JT gives him everything he needs, including a very special sort of knot? But it takes an inconveniently timed heat and a predatory alpha to make Benjy realize who he really wants for a mate.
While this book includes characters from past Omega Reimagined books, it can be read as a standalone. Please note that this is not an MPREG universe. No MPREG occurs in this story or any Omega Reimagined stories.

This is an unusual MM wolf shifter romance with an interesting plot that is filled with some quirky events occurring between the two main characters.
There is: wolf shifters, an annoyed father, a rather naïve abandoned omega wolf shifter (Benjy), a independent omega (TJ), doubts, admiration, opinions, attractions, explanations, playfulness, assumptions, fantasies, arousal, advice, disagreements, confrontations, acceptance, happiness & explicit steamy scenes.
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. As I mentioned, there is frequent sex, so if that isn’t your thing, this book probably isn’t for you. But, it you want a fun, feel-good story with minimal angst, this one should satisfy.
I received a complimentary ARC from the author, and this is my honest, voluntary review.
This was an automatic buy for me after reading book 2 in the series. This did not disappoint.
This story managed to be cute, funny, and hot. Two omegas “practicing” sex so that the inexperienced one, Benjy, would be ready for his mate. However, JT became more and more important to Benjy, making a previously hoped-for alpha sound less wonderful than it did before. In a town where wolves were free to mate (or not mate) as they chose, who knew what could happen?
Benjy and JT were adorable when they were taking care of each other and being silly. I loved it when they ran in wolf form. Then, in human form, the omegas got sexy and kinky. These guys were just right for each other. I enjoyed their friendship turned sex-fest turned love story.
Hot times in the wolftown tonight!

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.
I read a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest review.
