Review: One Wild Omega by Kelex
SYNOPSIS:
From the first moment they met, Tanner McCreary and Fitz Walker have always had a love-hate relationship. One that bordered more on the latter, much to the chagrin of Tanner—who knew from first glance that Fitz was his alpha. For some reason, Fitz acted like he wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. Even with the scent masking drug, Scentex, keeping them free, an omega’s alphas always seemed to sense something in the air when close.
But that wasn’t the case with Fitz.
So Tanner backed off, licked his wounds, and figured fate would lead them back together someday. Maybe then things would be different.
Someday came, but only made the situation worse. Tanner learned they shared a close friend in common—another omega—one Fitz eventually bedded. Brokenhearted, Tanner was sure the gods, fate, or whoever was in charge of binding an alpha and an omega together had gotten it very, very wrong.
His mate wasn’t the one apparently. Tanner lied to himself, saying he didn’t care, and kept his secret close. When the truth finally emerges, Fitz knows he has mountains to climb to make things right, and even that might not be enough.
REVIEW:
I liked this story, but I didn’t love it. Honestly, as the story progressed my heart ached for Tanner he really got shafted in this book. Kelex spent too much time rehashing the past that by the time we got to present day there was maybe 30% of the book left, which – in my opinion – was not enough time for Fitz to grovel at Tanner’s feet.
So the first 60% of this story is mostly flashbacks, Tanner’s first meeting Fitz and Fitz instantly being angry and rejecting him; then the flashes continue on for the next 6 years till present day. It was just Fitz saying the absolute worst and most hateful things to Tanner while Tanner would try to dish it back but he ached and his heart broke. Then there was the whole Fitz is in love with Bellamy thing and honestly it was too much and in the end, I don’t think Fitz deserved Tanner. Especially when it is all revealed that Tanner was letting Bellamy borrow his clothes (which is why Fitz was even drawn to him to begin with) and Tanner offered to send Bellamy somewhere to come off his meds so the whole friends-with-benefits thing never should have happened.
I think this goes a lot back to Bellamy’s pride and honestly I don’t think Bellamy was remorseful enough for how he treated Tanner. Whether he new or not, he was not apologetic enough for essentially stealing Tanner’s alpha. Then there was a secondary plot of an arson occurring and I am confused as to why it was even added in the story considering Kelex threw it in there and then there was zero closure on it. So that just added to my frustration.
The last 20% was literally Tanner magically forgiving Fitz, Fitz feeling guilty for being forgiven (AS HE SHOULD)….and them f*ckin into the sunset. Tanner deserved more…and that is all I am going to say. Oh and I will probably read the next book if one comes out.
