I have a feeling some people might think I posted this review for the wrong book when I say what I'm going to say, seeing as the title is "Fear", it's set in an apocalyptic world and to top it all off, it features pony play very prominently... But this was actually really cute. As in, huge grins and surprised laughter kind of cute. I'm not crazy, I promise. 

There's something about reading a slave being trained into submission that makes me all tingly and happy inside.

That's depravity for you.


Rating: 4 - 4.25 stars

P.S The only qualms I have is how long it took for the story to truly begin and engage me (at 17%).

"...who are they to place you in a box and tell you to be content only with what's inside it? Boxes can't contain something that's limitless."

I, Omega is an interesting enough character-driven novel, however with very little substance in the actual plot-- something that was lost in the fast pacing. 

I wish there was more development of not only the setting and back-story, but also of the (intriguing and endearing) secondary characters. The novel is very much centered on Gabriel and Cal and their romantic development, however I feel that a little more elaboration and detail on the surrounding environment and world would have ultimately benefited the story (and wouldn't have detracted much of the fast pace). I would've loved to know more about, for one, Gabriel and what being a human omega really entails (and why other packs are so eager to get their hands on one), pack life, Gabriel's father (who definitely piqued my interest), Cal , and also Gabriel's role in the pack. Thinking on it, we actually know next to nothing about Cal, except maybe his sexual preference and his adoration for Gabriel. And that he's a packleader (though I don't even know if that was explicitly mentioned).

Typical of those of the shifter-subgenre, I, Omega features amate-bond=love-4-eva-n-eva formula. The romantic development (as I dubbed it earlier) usually entailed fucking, fucking, spanking, fucking and very little romance. Even so, their love is still quite... sweet, if a bit illogical. Blame it on themate bond *snort*.

Overall I, Omega is a nice read, especially if you're looking for a smutty read that's light on details but good heart heart.

it was alright... a bit short... I like the story... a fighter trying to make it big and has lots of issues, a rich girl who has never fought for anything her life... two people from different world.... the read went fast... now the wait for the story to continue on the next book...

This was a short short read, which was a perfect introduction to an author I had not read before. The female lead is likable from the get go. She has her own business, a bakery, (what's not to like!). After catering a collaring at a club she gets an invitation from a secret admirer. While it is total fantasy, it is delicious & sexy. It moves fast, of course, although the ending left me unsatisfied as it felt 'unfinished', which I guess, is to be expected in so short a story. Also, there wasn't any emotional development of the male character, which I miss. It was a fun read & I'm looking forward to the next book of her's I read. Thanks to Cariad for introducing me to this author!
