There is discussion among the characters in this book whether scientists created the situation that they live in or a divine being called wolf-god. I haven’t read any other Omegaverse books so I’m not sure it’s the same in every book, but in Slow Heat, it doesn’t appear that there are any females in society after something called “The Great Death.” It makes the story feel a bit post apocalyptic because it takes place in the future on this planet and history teaches of humans of our time. Slow Heat is an alternate universe story, but it has a more specific name – Omegaverse.Įven though society is divided up in groups called Alphas, Betas, and Omegas, this story has nothing to do with shifters that also carry those names. Other books or series feature mpreg in an alternate reality/universe. A shifter series or two where the males can become pregnant. I have only read a handful of mpreg books before. Male pregnancy is probably not for everyone, but I like when reality is suspended and there is a part of me that would love to know how a man would deal with a pregnancy and what it would be like for them on an emotional level. There is Mpreg, a dystopian setting, religious undertones, an age gap, and defying assigned norms. This story offers so many themes and they were written so well without one outshining another. I know that my review might be long and rambling but I have so many thoughts about what I read. The teases I got from that spotlight were great and the story itself was amazing. Content warning for pregnancy loss and aftermath.Īfter I posted the spotlight for this book last week, I was so intrigued by the blurb and excerpt that I knew I just had to review this book. This is a stand alone gay romance novel, 118,000 words, with a strong happy ending, as well as a well-crafted, non-shifter omegaverse, with alphas, betas, omegas, male pregnancy, heat, and knotting. But Jason isn’t giving up his destined mate without a fight. Fighting their strong sexual urges, Jason and Vale must agree to contract with each other before they can consummate their passion.īut for Vale, being with Jason means giving up his independence and placing his future in the hands of an untested alpha–as well as facing the scars of his own tumultuous past. When Jason Sabel, a much younger alpha, imprints on Vale in a shocking and public way, longings are ignited that can’t be ignored. He’s fulfilled by his career, his poetry, his cat, and his friends. An unbonded omega in his mid-thirties, he’s long since given up hope that he’ll meet a compatible alpha, let alone his destined mate.
