Tamed by the Alphas by Jayce Carter

4 Stars

The writing and editing of this novel was clean, with few typos that I caught in the ARC version of the manuscript. The world building was deft and subtle, layering in omegaverse elements to a contemporary setting. The characterization was the best in this novel of the whole series. The heroine especially was a complex, vibrant individual. The development of the romantic relationship was natural and organic. The plot and pacing was exciting, with lovely romantic suspense elements. There was a high amount of angst in this novel, but it was completely justified by the traumatic history of the heroine, so I was able to relax and enjoy it. The stakes were also sky high, with a lot of potential danger, so I was able to enjoy the high angst. This novel used a variation on the Only One Bed trope, the Mating Bond trope common in omegaverse novels, and the Abused Heroine trope. The world building, plot and pacing were four stars. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship was also four stars. The combined score of this novel was therefore four stars. This novel had a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that is a big plus for this whole series, considering many m/f omegaverse romances are multiple book series with cliffhanger endings. That is one big con to the sub-genre. I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy omegaverse, reverse harem, or romantic suspense stories. I am planning to buy myself a keeper copy of this novel, I think. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
