In a desperate bid to find relief from a mysterious illness, December steals from the most dangerous crime syndicate in the city. Her botched burglary attempt leaves her at the mercy of the Bratva and its leader Nikolai Petrovski, and after an incident with one of his men lands her in the hospital, the horrible truth is revealed.
Nikolai wants to punish the tiny female who wreaked havoc in his holding pens, but after catching the scent of the girl his enforcer almost strangled to death, instinct prompts him to alter his course. When doctors confirm what was believed to be a sickly beta woman is actually a chemically sterilized omega, a plan to secure himself an heir becomes his first priority.
When December awakes, it is Nikolai himself who breaks the devastating news. The faulty device that the state implanted in her when it deemed her unworthy of breeding has been removed, and she will soon experience her first true heat as an omega. December owed a debt, and she’d pay with her body, or her life.
But what would happen when the alpha Nikolai discovered just how valuable a prize he’d caught? Would he honor the terms of their arrangement once he realized she was one of “The Sacred Omegas”?-
“Ms. Pierce has made her own niche in this genre. This story made me feel everything. I wanted to throw something, cry, laugh and claim my hubby throughout the story. Sometimes at the same time. “- Goodreads reviewer.
-“I loved this mafia-meets-omegaverse romance, and I enjoyed the blend of fantasy and Bratva worlds. It was complex, with a lot of characters all having a part to play in this action-packed book.”- Goodreads reviewer
This is a Dark Omegaverse Fantasy Novel. Omegaverse often features themes of noncon, dubcon, power exchange, and more. If you enjoy these tropes, please continue. If you don’t, this book may not be for you.
*****WARNING*****This book is set in a world where criminal regimes reign. There will be strong language, violence, and scenes of assault that may trigger some readers. You may cringe, you may cry, you may rage, but I promise, if you can bear to fight through that darkness, light and a HEA wait for you on the other side. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. You have been warned.
My Review Of The Sacred Omegas: Book One – December by Merel Pierce
I loved this book!
Yes, I may be a little biased due to Omegaverse being my favourite genre but it really was wonderful.
It had all the best traits of a good Omegaverse story too. Purring alpha, estros, slick, huge dicks, dominating males, hot AF sex scenes just everything!
It was dark as hell too!
DECEMBER
What a feisty and strong wee omega this female is!
I love her stubbornness and determination.
December had no idea she was an omega until she is caught stealing and is taken to crime lord Nikolai’s prison where she starts giving off the ‘fuck me’ scent and attracts the wrong attention.
After being knocked out, she wakes up with Nikolai in the room with her and nothing will ever be the same for this little woman again.
She is very much attracted to him but he also scares the shit out of her. When he proposes a deal to work off the debt she owes him she knows there is no other option than to go along with it.
As the story went on, I realised that I was completely smitten with and awed by this character.
It brought out in me a fiercely protective streak and pride in my gender.
What we may lack in physical strength, we make up for in sheer grit, determination, resolve and passion.
We are fierce and not to be underestimated. Hear us roar!
Seriously, this book…it got me right on the feels
A lesser person wouldn’t be able to come back from what December goes through but she fights and she fights.
My chest was uncomfortably tight at times from me fighting the tears.
TRIGGER WARNING! The following excerpt is super dark.
The first day she was here had been awful. After the Russians had forced the pair bond, she’d fainted, only to wake up with the one named Sergei fucking her on the floor like some sort of sex doll. The rest of the alphas had taken turns after that. She’d spent hours in hell, damaged flesh re-injured with every fresh penetration. When her crying became a nuisance and growling only made her cry more, they’d simply switched holes. Thank god, no one had tried to knot her ass.
NIKOLAI
This is the crime lord alpha, and what a specimen he is! Strong, dominant, aggressive and unforgiving. He demands the control of every room he walks into.
He wants the little omega from the first time he gets a whiff of her slick.
Not being a stupid man, he plays it down. A lot. He doesn’t want her to know that he intends to keep her for good.
This is a man used to getting what he wants and quite enjoys the fire inside December…to a point, lol.
I pretty much got wet for him from his first sentence, y’all.
He is strong and fierce but there is so much more to him.
Throughout this book he proves himself to be one of the deepest, most attentive and considerate characters I’ve had the pleasure to read about.
Yes, there were times where I wanted to punch him in the dick but he melted my heart and had me swooning in the end. I got a bit of a shock when I heard my own sigh escape my lips at several points throughout the book.
SEX SCENES
I was reading this book one-handed, you feel me?
It was hot as fuck! I had been desperate for them to seal the deal from the very beginning and was so not disappointed!
And guess what? Our boy is about 11 inches!
First of all, “ouch!” but then “Hell yeah!” you gotta love that kind of pain:-).
They locked eyes, and for a moment time seemed to stand still. He waited, his muscles trembling with the strain. “Say it!” He hissed, pressing forward so the tip of his member threatened penetration, but didn’t yet give it. Her addled brain struggled to understand what he wanted, but after several seconds of impatient twisting and fruitless bucking it finally seemed to click. “You really are an asshole!” She accused, fury sharpening her sweet face as she let loose of his hair and struck at his chest in anger. “Just do it already!” Her frown was severe, a pitiful whimper soon breaking the anger into despair. “Please… Please fuck me!”
FINAL THOUGHTS on DECEMBER by Merel Pierce
This was a book that touched my soul. I got lost in it for several hours and was gutted when I had to actually get out of my own nest (aka – the bed with a thousand pillows and blankets) and make my husband and child some dinner. How rude!
