Oh. My. Dear. Lord. Taken by the Alpha (Knotted Omega, Book 1) by Laxmi Hariharan & Scarlette Brooke is wonderfully, deliciously, divinely hot and sexy fun. I don’t generally like dystopian tales but I will definitely make an exception for anything set in the Omegaverse and Zeus and Lucy’s story is truly a powerful emotional and action-packed tale that was a total pleasure to read. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.
Taken by the Alpha
Omegaverse M/F Romance (Knotted Omega, Book 1)
By: Laxmi Hariharan, Scarlett Brooke
Narrated by: Tor Thom, Charley Ongel
If you are looking for a hot, fast paced listen you have found the book for you! This paranormal romance will have your head spinning and your heart soaring. We are taken into the Knotted Omegaverse and meet Zeus. He is the alpha in charge, and now he is looking to take over his half brother’s kingdom. Lucy, the Omega comes in and plans on assassinating Zeus, but plans change! Zeus is taken with Lucy and with his power and charisma, dominates Lucy. After all, she is an Omega, and she is to be his submissive. But she has a will of her own and refuses to obey. They have a precarious dance, learning each other and finding that dominant/submissive balance. It’s fun, steamy and the story behind them one of survival. Just know that this will end on a cliffhanger, so be prepared to grab book 2 to see what happens to this couple!
Tor Thom and Charley Ongel narrate this gem. They are such a good team, and I love their voices. Thom fits that alpha role perfectly with his smooth baritone voice. But Ongel meets him line for line with her stubborn Omega! Lucy is a force and Ongel brings her to life with a voice that lets him know she means business. They really make it a movie in your mind.

I found it quite an interesting read.
The plot is strong and there’s chemistry between the characters.
I was talking on a journey watching the characters one alive as
I got to know them.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
Wow this first book of this series had me at the first chapter.these characters have hot chemistry together I will be reading this whole series and anything else from these authors
Taken by the Omega (Knotted Omega #1) is a Omegaverse romance novel & dystopian in nature. It is raw and naturally instinctive.
Avalanche of action through out, mostly sensual at this time. A graphically detailed novel with well developed characters. Morsels of suspense seep through the pages of the narrative. This novel intensifies and leads into the next one. Looking forward to reading the next novel in this series to see what happens with Lucy and Zeus.
A leap of faith
This story just bursts from the pages of the book. The author does not leave us in suspense from the beginning to the cliffhanger, the story is intense and moves quickly. The author puts so much detail into each scene that you feel like you have traveled to their universe, you can feel it as Zeus and Lucy fight against themselves and each other. Zeus seems to have taken the leap to be all in the relationship, but will it be enough to see Lucy through her folly and into the next book? I am really looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
Zeus has claimed the leadership of the city and is interrupted with a cloth bundle being delivered with an assassin in the middle. But this assassin is an Omega, not just any omega, it is Lucia the Russian princess.
Lucy tries to kill Zeus, but is not successful. Once she realises she is beaten, she is given a chance to run, she doesn’t make it. Her heat is upon her and Zeus smells it on her and knows she is his. Lucy agreed to kill Zeus so she could get protection for her clan of omegas she brought with her from Russia.
Zeus and Lucy mate and form the mating bond, but then Lucy runs away, but is captured by Kayden, Zeus’s mortal enemy. He is planning on using the mating bond to trap Zeus. Lucy has other plans, she manages to find her way to a cliff over the ocean, she jumps off and the story leaves us hanging when Zeus feels Lucy’s hand slip through his.
I was given an advanced review copy of this book and I leave my honest review of this book.
OMG!!! I just finished Taken!! This was fking AMAZING!! Did I tell ya’ll that Laxmi & Scarlette are BEAST WITH THE PEN!!!! OMG!!!
Reminder: this is an omegaverse book so expect a massively alpha male and his need to claim his omega. Zeus is pure alpha and also now the leader. He will fix what was broken and conquer any who oppose him. Lucy is omega but so much more. But this alpha will change everything she ever thought about herself and this world. The story is only getting started and these two make things extreme in every way. The scenes are all m/f but extreme alpha domination. But at times I’m not sure if he is really the one in control or if it is her.
Probably my favorite book so far! There feels like it has a bit more action in this one then the others. And the story moved even faster then the other books. Which I liked as well!
I loved how much Lucy and Zues have changed and grown with each other. And I love how the bond changes things even more when it is finally becomes fully there!
Lucy is such a great character too. Because she may be omega but she doesn’t stop being a warrior Omega even for Zues!
this book is omega verse and has a very hot dominant male and a just as strong omega. Hot scenes not my usual type of book but worth the read
For honest review. Zeus after killing his father to become general finds he’s got a half brother that is so much like him that challenging him. Now he finds daughter of czar of Moscow trying to kill him only to find she’s in heat and his mate. Getting good.
Okay this book has steam and raw power strong arrogant aggressive Alpha with a need to control and rule there world is a harsh one were its kill or be killed only the strongest and most dominant can rule and Zeus has killed his own father to achieve it not that his father didn’t deserve it he really did. And he is not the only one who wants what he has his brother wants it as well he’s not above using and assassin to achieve his goal.
The assassin Lucy is most unusual for and Omega female she won’t bow down easily even when the very man she has dreamed of is the one man she is sent to kill why what hold dose Zeus’s brother have over her. But when her heat comes on she will have to make a decision. There passion is intense and raw but with danger waiting to strike will they be together or apart.
I thoght this was a intriguing read with a lot of background characters which may have bogged down some reader’s but it was still filled with plenty of heat and action which is why I rated it a 4 stars I’m interested to see were this series goes.
It is a good read with lots of Excitement, drama, emotions, suspense. It keeps you reading till the end. A strong feisty female with a strong male. I would definitely research omega verse books before you read one. They are different and not for everyone. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
In all of my Omegaversing I have never read such a sexually charged connection between an Alpha and his Omega mate. Zeus and Lucy are complete strangers yet as soon as they are in each other’s physical space their scent for each other is undeniable. Though we get a taste of their ‘fated’ bond from the prequel Wanted, specially via their dreams, we are completely submersed in a no holds barred raw physical attraction between two people who should despise each other. I love it how they each try so hard to fight their instinct but cave in to the bond almost instantaneously. And once their bond is forged, there is nothing that can separate them, not even death.
I enjoyed the character development, specially in Zeus, as he struggles to accept the influence Lucy has on his personality. Lucy seems to be fighting the hardest, but even her strong will breaks down when faced with her Alpha mate. I can’t wait to see what is next for the bonded pair. Laxmi Hariharan
An abundance of endless intrigue that will have you frantically turning the pages! An exciting storyline that makes you feel as if you are there watching the story as it unfolds! Fun, enjoyable, intense and emotionally moving! Amazing hot chemistry you just want to sink your teeth into! One heck of an amazing must read!
Totally a awesome read. Couldn’t put it down. Sexy, Steamy and very well written. I look forward to reading the rest of the series
There is nothing “pretty” about this book. It is raw and instinctual at the most visceral level. There’s lots of action in this story – maybe a bit too much. There’s lots of description about who does what to whom, but I’m missing the connection to their location. The authors have done a great job of incorporating scents into the story, yet I can’t seem to remember any of the other senses and I’m really feeling the lack of the visual component. Perhaps some of that is the animalistic nature of Alphas and Omegas. But I’m not completely sold on that idea because most animals can see better than humans, so I’m just left feeling a bit lost. I like that Zeus can recognize and feel his emotions, there’s just a lot more of them than I’ve ever seen in any other Omegaverse Alpha. And that feels very odd to me. I love that Lucy is spirited and feisty; a Queen demanding that her Tom prove he’s the strongest mate for her. However, I’m extremely bothered by how badly Lucy’s lying to herself and blaming everything that she does on Zeus. Free Will says we have a choice in everything, and even choosing to do nothing is still a choice. This book ends on a cliff-hanger – both literally and figuratively – and I very badly want to know what happens next.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
I enjoyed reading this book, it is filled with action and has good storyline. The interaction and chemistry between the characters is wonderful. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
How ironic! He was powerful, fierce and feared but a little Omega was affecting his mind and tearing his heart apart. Confused by his feelings Zeus only recognized something for sure, she was his! Lucy felt without strength to fight her heat cycle and her great need for Zeus. Only one decision could she make to protect what really mattered. What intense emotions in this story! Zeus and Lucy struggling with their feelings kept me feeling sorry for them. Difficult decisions for two people who had a lot to lose. Liked these characters and their intensity. Kept me reading interested all the time. Action, drama, suspense, good and strong characters, violence and a lot of passion. A well written, exciting and interesting story that I enjoyed and left me anxious for the next book.
