Leia's has one thing to barter to find her daughter...herself. But will that be enough? I enjoy meeting Leia and Var in this story by Mina Carter and Susan Hayes. Leia was not expecting much with her decision to turn herself over to an alpha. The hope of finding her daughter is all she has. But Var gives her more than she expects. He treats her with respect and honor. He is alpha and doesn't let her forget that but he also treats her with tenderness. I enjoyed seeing Leia learn and teach. She expected little and gained the world and I can't wait to see what happens next in this brand new world.

Sci-fi, fated mates, and a new “world” to experience
Drawn in from the very first sentence, I saw myself and all of the strong women I know in Leia. When these aliens think earth women will be subservient and obedient they have another thing coming. Var is one scary MF but he proves to Leia that not all of the Tolath are like the original aliens that invaded Earth, who sent omegas into hiding afraid for their lives.
This new “world” is set up in glimpses. First the village where Leia is found by Var. Var and his air bike. The Citadel where The Lord Overseer Tane and Var live. And because we’re not force fed the facts of the changes that have taken place the story flows well. I call it the “movie effect”, I can see the action in my mind. Oh, and there are just enough sexy times to spice up the tale. I won’t call it romance exactly because it is more like instinct taking over.
This is a great start to a new series, sexy sci-fi at it’s best. Can’t wait for Rath!

Hot! Hot! Hot! Earth girls aren’t easy. Earth has been conquered by aliens and its people genetically changed. Leia is now an omega but that doesn’t mean she’s lost her brains or her spunk. She trades her freedom for an assist in finding her grown daughter who is also an omega. Var is used to omega’s being submissive. Boy has he got a lot to learn. I sweated and laughed my way through this story and look forward to the next installment.

I usually don't read books where the female lead has kids. Nothing against the tykes but in most instances they seem to serve as a prop, there to say cute things but nothing substantial. This story was a pleasant surprise and nothing like what I expected. The female lead wasn't a complete ditz and the male lead wasn't an overbearing caveman. I liked the actions of the two and I liked the fact that the story is designed to lead into the next without leaning too far and giving you half a story about people you haven't signed on to read abut yet. Overall a good short read that was well done and worth the time.

I really liked this book! This first book in a new series is about aliens that unleash something on Earth that changes certain human women into omegas. There are waves of aliens that have come, and the first were NOT good to these omegas.
Var focuses on one human omega who willingly goes with an alpha alien to save her omega daughter. He's from a later wave of aliens who arrived, and quite different from what the heroine has seen before. Each has a lot to discover about the other, and that sense of mutual discovery will clearly be a driver of this series.
I love the heroine's unexpected resilience and the hero's sensitivity. Great couple (and she's an older heroine!), and seeing their growth was so rewarding. A quick read, and it's worth checking out!

I really enjoyed this story! I liked the characters and the premise. I loved that Leia is a strong woman. Var might be a bad*** but she doesn't scare easily and I love that she doesn't just back down and run from him either. She picks her battles and she is on a mission to get her daughter back. I liked the way that the story developed and we see the relationship between Var and Leia. Leia isn't what Var expected but I like that he wants to earn her surrender and not just conquer. Leia learns that Var is not like the first aliens that came and conquered the planet either. I enjoyed this omegaverse story and loved the way that Mina Carter and Susan Hayes set it up. We get the facts of the new universe in pieces as the story progresses which has it flowing really smoothly and you aren't just bombarded with facts that don't make sense or stick because they came too quickly. I never felt lost in the story so everything unfolded really well. I can't wait to see what comes next and get the next book in the series. This was definitely a hit for me!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

If you like sweet omegaverse, you’ll like this one. I like dark omegaverse too but the sweet kind is the best! Since the aliens came and turned many of the human females into omegas they have been in hiding.
The first alien to grace their planet weren’t exactly ambassadors of goodwill. The hidden omegas have no idea that the H’Thor aren’t like the first to arrive. They want to protect and cherish their omegas.
