Thank you so much for this recommendation!

I spit out my tea when I saw the cover of the first volume, god bless. Your reading suggestions have always been golden, and I've already bought the Kindle edition (for $0.00, no less), but lord if that isn't some Fine Art.

This is not a recommendation, per se, because this series of books is pure teeth-rotting sugar, but I'm a fan of Evangeline Anderson's Brides of the Kindred series, which is sci-fi Omegaverse with the serial numbers filed off. I mean:

A race of Alien Warriors from beyond the stars

Three very different types of Alpha Males

All focused on one thing...Claiming their Brides


Okay, so... Maybe "fan" is a strong word to describe my relationship to these books, but I appreciate how the author takes a number of standard ABO elements and transforms them into something that might be palatable for a wider audience. I also appreciate how she picks up various trends in kinky fanfiction and more or less anthropomorphizes them in each stand-alone novel in the series. Really, it's a talent.

And I think, because I have some degree of familiarity with soft Omegaverse stories, that I'm just as frustrated as you are that something like Born to Be Bred is what gets the literary agent and the lucrative book deal.

I guess I have thoughts and feelings about agents and book deals, as well as how wealthy you and your family need to be in order to get them. Hard work and talent are necessary, of course, but we're all hard-working and talented. Some people just have a few more... resources, let's say. I just didn't think that sort of thing extended this far.
