A new to me author venturing into the Omegaverse world.
From The Raven’s Alpha blurb:
When Eddy Elwood, a successful alpha baker, finds himself at a crossroads in his life, he's forced to confront his longing for a mate. Little does he know, his destiny is about to collide with Darcy Mortlake, a quiet omega with a secret admiration for the kind-hearted alpha. As they embark on a fateful trip together, their up-and-coming connection is put to the test when they're confronted with a malicious force that seeks to tear them apart, threatening to shatter the very fabric of their bond.
Eddy Elwood
At forty-one, I've given up hope of finding my fated mate. Leaving my birth pack at eighteen was a bold move, but I wanted to follow my dreams – opening my own bakery, making friends, and living a peaceful life. Now, as I face the possibility of being solo forever, I'm starting to realise that maybe I've been too focused on being alone. Who knew being a soft-hearted grizzly bear would be a curse?
Darcy Mortlake
As a lonely omega, I've always felt like I'm living in the shadows. But my fascination with the alpha of my dreams has become an obsession. I've been watching the baker from afar, mesmerised by his gentle giant demeanour and kind heart. To catch his attention, I've been leaving small gifts on his doorstep, hoping to spark a connection.
The Raven’s Alpha is book one in the Nature’s Embrace Series. This age-gap omegaverse is a journey of love, danger and knots. Meet Eddy, a big-hearted alpha who's been searching for his mate, and Darcy, a curious omega who's been hiding in plain sight.
Angel's review:
I haven't read anything by this author before and when I read the blurb for this book I immediately wanted to read it.
I'll start off by saying I liked the introduction to Omegaverse chapter that was in the beginning of the book, I think that's such a great way to introduce new readers to the Omegaverse world. I also appreciated how Rebecca explained what A/B/O stands for, along with explaining the different dynamics for each designation.
I thought this book was cute and full of sweetness. I adored Eddy, he is such a sweetheart. He is the epitome of a teddy bear personality, it also helps that he can actually shift into a bear. I loved that he's a baker, and owns his own bakery! I wish there were more scenes of him baking and working in his story, we get more mentions it him working in his bakery then scenes in his POV when he's working there. He's adorabley awkward and I adore him for that. You can tell he truly cares for Darcy and wants what's best for his mate.
Darcy is full of sass and an exuberant personality. Eddy is more shy and reserved, whereas Darcy is bold and outspoken. I enjoyed the contrast of their characters, it provided a nice dynamic. I liked the tender scenes where Darcy would leave trinkets for Eddy, and in return Eddy would leave fruit and seeds for Darcy, I thought those moments were so cute!!
I thought the story flowed decently for the most part, there was a couple times where it felt a bit disjointed to me.
(----------SPOILER--------))))
For instance, before they had gotten a hint Darcy was going into heat... But the whole time he was held captive that never came back up, which left me confused... Wasn't he supposed to be going through his heat? It was mentioned once beforehand then nothing afterwards.
Overall though, a good take on the Omegaverse world.
LCDolphin's review:
Wonderful opposites attract story of Darcy Mortlake, raven shifter and Eddy Elwood, bear shifter and their journey to their HEA. Loved these characters and how, despite their differences, they are perfect for each other. A must read for fantasy romance readers.
