Knotted Omega Book 2
Run little squirrel...
Zeus
She can't hide from me.
I caught her fair and square,
... Now LUCY is MINE.
I want to mark her all over,
so every time she looks at herself she'll think of me.
Her every breath, every cry, her every moan of ecstasy belongs to me.
By the time I am done with her, she will no longer be able to deny me.
I want her every thought, to fulfill her every need
I want all of her, and I don't plan on letting her go...
Not until I have taken her body and soul.
Not until I own her thoughts, know her feelings, can intuit her every move.
I intend to give her so much pleasure,
...so much pain,
that it will wipe out everything that came before.
She is mine to take, to ruin, to do with as I want.
So what stops me from having my way with this wisp of an omega who dares challenge me?
Precisely nothing...!
This is book 2 in Zeus and Lucy's story, in the emotional and action-packed Knotted Omega Series.

My Review:
I’m of two minds about this book. As an entry to the Omegaverse it’s leading us in a different direction from any other author who’s writing here. I can’t count that as being completely successful for the genre. Zeus is too lenient in all the wrong places for me to fully believe in him as “The One True Alpha”. And Lucy never submits enough for me to believe in her Omega nature. I love her spirit and that’s she’s asking Zeus to prove he’s strong enough to earn her submission. It’s just that the way it’s played out so far means that I’m not investing in their relationship. But, as a post-apocalyptic geo-political drama? That part of the plot I’m totally buying into. And I’m dying to see where the boundaries get carved out in the sand when the fall out is over. Parts of this series seem to be going in different directions simultaneously, and I’m not sure where any of them are going to end up taking us in the end. The cliff-hanger ending means that I’m holding on by my fingernails to see what happens next. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.
