Book 2: The Omega's Pack by Dessa Lux

Note: I know the author of this series socially.

This is the second book in a m/m romance series about werewolves. The first book (The Omega's Bodyguard) tells the story of how the alpha of the titular pack, Rusty, finds and then bonds with his omega mate, Sam, and should definitely be read before reading this one. This book, as you may have guessed from the title, focuses on how Rusty and Sam become a pack with Mike, another alpha, and Nick, a beta. Mike had already become a member of their pack at the end of The Omega's Bodyguard, but Nick is still on his own.

The main plot of The Omega's Pack centers on the new pack essentially staging an intervention for Nick, who suffers from PTSD as a result of injuries he sustained while in the Marines. Basically, the whole werewolf pack structure is a setup for lots of found family and hurt/comfort feelings, all of which I greatly enjoyed. The other thing the werewolf pack structure is a setup for is a whole lot of extremely explicit sex, including threesomes and a full moon orgy.

The first third of the book felt a little unfocused to me, but as soon as Rusty, Sam and Mike head out to help Nick, the entire book clicks into gear. And there's a lovely scene towards the end in which the new pack needs to defend its territory from other werewolves that really establishes the bond that the four of them have with each other, and sets up the next book in the series.

Grade: B
