Week 30 Review: The Alpha of Bleake Isle

From Goodreads:

He's waited half a century to choose an omega.

Lord Ronson Cadogan can stall no longer. He needs an omega and he needs an heir.

Settled on the obvious perfect choice, and determined to see his fate through, Ronson can't afford to wait for the next ceremony to claim what he is owed. If only he was more excited about the match.

They call her the mouse.

Mairwen Posy knows precisely who the Alpha of Bleake Isle will choose, and it certainly isn't her. In fact, it's so predictable it's almost boring.

Resigned to her fate of disappearing into the background, Mairwen takes the role of observer, distracting the ache of being left out with the entertainment of dragonkin society's unfolding stories.

All is as expected, until the sudden twist in a familiar plot sends Mairwen in the least likely direction, right into the arms of the alpha. The Alpha of Bleake Isle is book one in a new dragon shifter fantasy romance series, inspired by the historical and omegaverse genres. Each book in the series will focus on a different couple, and will include their in-book HEA.

My Review:
I had such a fun time reading this book! I really enjoy her books, and this one sounded really good! I've never read an Omegaverse novel that I'm aware of  before, so I had a great time learning the rules, getting to know these characters and the world!

There was a note about Omegaverse, and the rules as the world is aware of at the start of the book, because yeah, those rules are a part of the plot, which  was really satisfying to read. Because they gave power to one group by taking it away from another, which is just so aggravating, I'm glad the truth came out!

Honestly, I felt so badly for Mairwen, she's the wallflower, and she her future looks pretty bleak, being shackled to a horrid older dragon. But through a series of encounters, leads the alpha to pick her, which was both shocking and delightful, though a bit dangerous, given that she has now been placed in a position of power.

Watching as they got to know one another, to fall in love, while dealing with the politics of his position, and their mating, was so great! To see her bloom, and her confidence grow, like, this was pretty perfect for her. And when the truth about the rules comes out, yeah, that was really satisfying to read! 

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to see where the series goes from here!
