really liked it

Twisted kinky (primal play!) thriller with a bonding/fated-mates sensibility

I enjoyed MM Farmer’s latest book, the first of a new series, Omegas After Dark, a spinoff of the delightful Bangers & Mash series, with kink and romantic suspense. Herein is another oppressed omega yearning for freedom and a bold alpha ready and eager to give it to him.

This does involve cheating, but not between the MCs; they’re with only each other in the book. One MC is engaged to a jerk (who is definitely sleeping with others too) but has never been with him (thank goodness, he’s terrible! Ew.). It’s a family arrangement of convenience between rich people. So for me doesn’t count as cheating. But be aware of that if cheating is a trigger for you.

Knowing Ari needs to live while he can before he signs his life away to the dull and awful arranged marriage, Ari’s friend sets him up on the Dark Fantasies Club app, where Ari connects with Samson, a new-to-the-area alpha who can deliver on all of Ari’s deepest fantasies—being hunted, chased down, bound and forced to breed (mainly!). And yeah…all of Ari’s wishes come true in technicolor and it’s HOT.

But there are baddies in the wings, and these two wind up connecting in ways neither expected then having to get out of a truly bad captivity situation for real. As fiction and reality blur, they’ve got to rely on each other to live…and claim a future together with the unexpected consequences of their fun in the woods.

Seeing the protectiveness come out in Samson and the yearning in Ari was delicious and rewarding, the read is hella fun. I could have done without Ari’s bragging about all the sex he had before this encounter, and the info that Samson has for sure gotten omegas pregnant via this app in the past and knows nothing of his own offspring (it’s passed off as the omegas wanted to get pregnant and have zero interest in who the alpha is/was/don’t want an alpha in their lives, but..! The lack of any caring, checking in to make sure all is well seemed a real miss for the character). But otherwise I ate the story up and will be looking for more.

HEA, dating-app to lovers, high kink, primal play, chasing through the forest into real danger and it becomes a romantic suspense. No cheating between MCs; no others on page at all. Recommended.

My thanks to Gay Romance Reviews for the ARC; this is my free and impartial opinion.
