Guarding the Runaway Omega by M.M. Wilde

3.0

Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.

“You’re my partner, little wolf. I hope someday my love can erase what your father put you through, can show you that controlling his family the way he did isn’t how love works.”

This was a fairly quick and entertaining read. I love mpreg and shifter romance as well as omegaverse, so lots of it worked well for me. I wish there was more time spent shifted because we didn’t get a lot of that, and for the amount of pages it had, it was actually a bit heavy on the external stuff going on. Would’ve loved to see more of the MCs together.

One part I really liked was that the MCs didn’t really know what was going on with them for a good chunk. They didn’t know what a ‘heat’ was or that the omega MC could get pregnant, so that of course put a different spin on things.

Quick fun, but maybe a bit light on some things that would’ve made it even better.

This quote made it lose half a star, lol. The virgin/innocent/pure language gives me the ick:

“Gods dammit.” Hawk smacked the steering wheel with his palm. “I can’t believe I allowed myself to hurt you like that, to use you so roughly when you were an innocent.”
