Especially since his best friend Princess Celia is stuck bonding with a foreign prince she’s never even met. Celia’s solution?

Well, that’s what best friends are for, right?
Gus is royal to the bone – and he’s never regretted it before.
Prince Gaspar – better known as Gus – isn’t the type of alpha to fall in love at the drop of a hat, or at the staged farce of a romantic ball. He’s agreed to an arranged marriage because it’s his duty – not his desire. When his half-brother suggests he take a last chance at having what he really wants before getting tied down to a foreign princess, Gus has no intention of following through… until he meets the handsome omega commoner with the adorable smile.
It’s not like Gus is going to lose his heart or anything, right?

Gus and Rowan both know that a lifetime spent together is impossible – but for a single hour, they just don’t care. One night of giving into their passion has consequences neither of them anticipated… but will it dismantle the fragile truce between their countries?

I loved this book and I am now a great fan of this author. Recommend 100%!
Sweet Alpha/Omega Mpreg story. Was surprised at a love revelation I was curious about. Great story.
New to me author. This is a mm story set in the mpreg omegaverse genre. As the title suggests royalty and a peace accord are involved. Main characters are Rowan and Gus with Amelia and Celia playing a main role too.
A sweet and romantic fairy tale. I really loved the omegaverse universe of this story. Celia was a nice best friend. Even if I am a big fan of omegaverse MM stories I imagine Rowan like a girl all the time. Maybe my brain can’t accept mpregnancy even if I like thinking out the box. I was sad for Rowan being pregnant after just one great time. I like MM beacuse they can have so many steamy encounters without get pregnant but I know this was mpregnant story from the start. However I am sure it is not good to build a marriage just on lust, but I like the story anyway. Why is the cover of the French ( I think it is French) edition more cute than the English one and the Prince and the omega are prettier there.
This is a sweet little story in a non-shifter, alpha-omega, mpreg universe. It’s a freebie I received in return for an honest review. From the title, you can tell there’s royalty and, what’s even more, there are castles and arranged marriages too. So it’s basically an M/M fairytale for adults.
This is a very short book, I read it in just a few hours. But it still covers not only the lovestory between Rowan and Gus, but also an attempted political coup. The story is an alright pastime, sure, but the storyline felt a bit too simple. A bit naive. Or maybe stories about princes and princesses just aren’t meant for me.
But putting aside my recently discovered dislike of royalty-reads, The Prince and the Omega was still pretty entertaining. I liked the lovestory. I liked the alpha-omega dynamics described. I liked Rowan, he was a total dear, but my impression of Gus was not as favorable. Even though he was supposedly depicted as the ultimate, heartthrob prince, he just seemed a bit spine-less. Going along with the arranged marriage-thing for far too long without too much objection. But. The romance still worked and Rowan and Gus were cute together.
What I didn’t like about the story was the whole kidnapping-business towards the end. It felt rushed and didn’t really add that much to the story. It was frankly unnecessary and felt like an afterthought more than anything.
When I think about it though, my main reason for having trouble with this read is probably the world-building which I just couldn’t buy into. There are too many contradictions and inconsistencies for my taste. It’s a modern society with modern technology, but there’s the very old-fashioned and Disney-inspired view on royalty on what a monarchy is. Then there’s the basis of the entire story plot, namely the arranged marriage. That arrangement is – allegedly – a crucial requisite of ending a terrible, long-time war between the two countries. But any mention of where, how and why this war is fought and its consequences for the respective societies are non-existent. The picture being painted of life for the “commoners” are actually very peaceful and easy-going. Bordering on picturesque.
So yeah, I feel a bit conflicted about this read. It’s a perfectly fine romance. Though obviously I’m not the target reader. But if you like the fairytale-y story-style, then go for it!
