I didn’t think I’d like this story, the blurb felt dark. However, one chapter in and everything changed! By the third chapter I was all in, but at the end of the book, I wanted more. The alpha controller and singular omega had some of the hottest dom/sub sex that I’ve read in a while, and then the fighting action came in. Wow. The only thing that bugged me was that cure she was bent on stealing, was it just mind games from the doctor? Was it a test? I’m dying to find out, hopefully in the next book?
This is definitely different than what I thought it would be. It is a pretty good book if you are wanting some smexy scenes. Now I will say that I was not fond of some things that occurred during the book but I think that it is mainly because I am not too familiar with the omegaverse. There is a plot to the story which you do read about, however it is short description. I think that this book is mainly focused on the view of the omegaverse. I will say I was a bit confused as to what some of the descriptions were when they were discussing the characters. Overall, once I got into the book I did get sucked because I was intrigued with the dynamics of the characters. I will however tell you that you need to go to the back of the book to read the descriptions first, so you will know what they are talking about.
This is a different take on the Omegaverse A/O/B dynamic. The story is action packed, super sexy, and has a lot of emotional ups and downs. It’s not a slow burn romance; it sucks you into the sexy times fairly quickly. It’s not as dark as some stories I have read, but I love the D/s elements and all the spanking scenes. This is one series that I’m excited to continue.
Fantastic Start!
WOW! This story is exceptionally fast paced and intensely erotic. I freaking loved it. I don’t think I blinked till it was over. Definitely an amazing roller coaster ride. The world building is terrific and has so much potential. The main characters are very intense and intriguing. I loved how fast this story moved and I loved all the aspects of the control. There is so much more to this story and I can see that the next book is definitely going to divulge more.
This is a new author to me and I can’t wait to read more.
This was attraction at first sight. Confusing at times but a very hot and steamy read! Amazing chemistry between the two characters. I just wish it was longer!
Taking Control: A dark science fiction Omegaverse was an interesting intriguing reading romance story with entertaining characters

** 3.5 stars **
I’ve always like this take the omegaverse world, where omegas are sent in to war alongside alphas. It is an intriguing idea. While saying that, I will say it is a very difficult thing to read omegaverse book if you don’t know that there will be an great deal of power play and I don’t even think the word ‘play’ is appropriate, maybe I should use ‘power take’, there will also be: submission, spanking, dominance. They are all aspects of the dynamics.
That being said this is a unique world in which omegas can have a gift (healing, pre-cognition, and other sensory abilities). Omegas require alpha controllers in war. Most of the book is focused on what happens when these two dynamics come together and what it truly means to be controlled. It can be uncomfortable and is twisted and get manipulative, but that is the world of Omegaverse. I enjoyed the how the Omega is able to soften her alpha without even trying and I was really happy with the ending

The writing and editing of this novel was a little rough around the edges, with occasional typos and sometimes awkward sentence structure. It really reads like a debut. The world building is fascinating, with this intergalactic war coming to vivid life. The characterization was a little rough around the edges, but it was still compelling. The development of the romantic development was intense to read. This novel was also hot, I would rate it five chili peppers. The plot and pacing was tight and exciting, meaning I read it it one sitting. There was a good amount of well justified angst and very high stakes, which tends to be one of my preferred narrative structures for a romance novel. This novel used the Imbalanced Power Dynamic trope commonly used in dark and BDSM sci-fi romances. The world building, plot, and pacing were four stars in this novel. The writing and editing was three stars. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship were three stars in this novel. I therefore gave this novel a combined rating of three stars, even though I really did enjoy the bones of the story. This novel has a Happy Ever After ending, which was a big plus. I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy omegaverse or dark BDSM elements to their sci-fi romances. I have since read all the other titles in this series that are currently available. I will by myself a keeper copy of this novel.

A beautiful interstellar setting – omitted.
A dangerous tactical mission- barely there.
How alpha and omega characters connect – only the sexual level is present and takes most of the book.
No plot structure, no build-up, or release of tension.
The sex is excellent, however. But I’m disappointed. The premise and the concept promised so much more.
