Summary

"One hell of a primal read, this alpha is a sex god!" (USA Today best-selling author Lee Savino)

Perfectly broken. Perfectly gorgeous. Perfect to ruin....

Lucy came to assassinate me, 

now I must punish her

I’ve come too far.

Plotted too long.

Lost too much,

to let one woman sweep in and upset all my plans.

She thinks she can redeem me.... Not

I plan to live up to my reputation as a monster, 

who breaks everything that comes his way.

Starting with her....

This is Book 1 of Zeus and Lucy's story in the emotional and action-packed Knotted Omega Series.

***Dystopian paranormal romance with Omegaverse mf flavor.

In the audio: No cheating. Snarly, tattooed, possessive male who will do anything to claim his soul mate. Buy now.

"A steamy, adrenaline rush of a book. I had to fan myself with my Kindle!" (USA Today best-selling author Rebecca Rivard)

Bad Alpha

This is one seriously twisted dark romance with a hot Alpha determined to break the beautiful Omega Sent to kill him.
But this Omega is tougher than most and has no intention of surrendering to a Monster. Pity her body might not give her a choice.

I always enjoy listening to work by Tor and Charley and they do an amazing job narrating this Dark Omegaverse Captive Romance set in a different world with different rules of conduct.

Fair warning this book ends on a cliffhanger but readers can continue listening to Zeus and Lucy's story for free with Kindle Unlimited and Text to Speech as I'm going to.

I received this Audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Let this Alpha grab your ear swooning

Book 1 in the series . Laxmi And Scarlette knows how to grab the readers/Listeners attention. Strong hero , smart characters , not easy to cross and Zeus trusts no one . He knows and trusts his instincts . There is a new universe that you want to get to know,,, you will discover Omegaverse once you go deep into this excellent story .
Hero is Zeus an alpha . Heroine is Lucy .
Little does Zeus and Lucy know they are mates . Little by little they try their attraction to each other , the $ex scenes are hot . The attraction is off the charts . But before they find their happy ending, Zeus will need to give a little and lean to trust again.

Tor Thom and Charley Ongel performance was perfect. Tor Thom voice was take no hostage deep strong . You know he’s a perfect Zeus . Charley soft, smooth voice is perfect for Lucy. You really get into the story

Good overall but very repetitive

in my personal opinion. I found this very repetitive, the story's plot that he had taken her against her will is mentioned in every chapter, both characters talk about what's already happened again and again. we know because we've already read it! then 80% of the book is just sex, the same sex, same wording, I found myself skipping parts because I wanted to hear more of the story than just sex. both characters spend ages fighting their inner thoughts going between love and hate for each other. then finally the story gets good...and it ends! if you want a dirtier fifty shades meets beauty and the beast, this is the book for you.

Very explicit!

this book was ok but a little to graphic for my tastes. I struggled to finish it.

In my top 10 Audible books

I've listened to this book at least four times. Zeus and Lucy are vivid in my imagination. Their story is steamy. I listened late into the night on first listen, not wanting it to end. I've read this Omega series with Kindle Unlimited but is enhanced with brilliantly suited narration. I will continue with more audio books in the series.

Excellent balance

I love these Alpha Omega books. If they are written well the balance between dubious consent and non consent can be electrifying, which this book is. Charley and Tor are great together.

HOT

The premise of the storyline is interesting, packed with scorching hot scenes. The main characters are fabulous. Zeus, an alpha, and Lucy, an omega, have an intense relationship, and their chemistry searing; they were literally on fire. Their connection was instant but far from being instalove. They both fought their innate and biological attraction to each other.

Outstanding narration by Tor Thom and Charley Ongel, both portrayed the characters' personalities and emotions very well. I love Tor Thom's alpha voice, it's marvellously raspy and gratifying.

Can you stand the heat?

One extremely steamy listen, brought to life by two amazing narrators! I read the book long before the audibook came out, and it was a great treat to be able to put voices to the main characters. If you like explicit listens in a dystopian setting, I highly recommend both the book and the audiobook!

One of my favourites!

Another engrossing book from Laxmi! The chemistry is electrifying and I was gutted when I got to the end. I have read a lot of omegaverse books and this is one of my favourite series. As ever, the narration is excellent!

Hot start to the series!💥

A Fast paced & steamy read with a real good twist towards the end!

I grabbed this book immediately after Reading the prologue & wow what a start it has! Lucy & Zeus have one hell of a chemistry, especially when their sex scenes go for so long...Not that I'm complaining *wink*. Though, it maybe a lot of internal dialogue for some...So forewarned.

An assassin falling in love with guy she was sent to kill, Yup. It's quite the story! Plus with that end, I immediately grabbed the next one😍

The voice cast is pretty good!💞 I like it!!
