Publisher's summary

Sweetheart, you are the perfect omega for me. I accept you for are, who you used to be, and the person that you will become.

Maxx has been waiting for a mate of his own. He's watched every alpha in his pack from his older brother to his best friends, all couple up one by one with omegas to call their own. Maxx has always believed in fate, and he knows that Fenris above has the perfect wolf fated to be his mate. It's just a matter of when they will meet.

Oskar doesn't believe in fated mates, nor does he want a mate at all for that matter. After dealing with a vicious ex, Oskar doesn't want to ever have to answer to an alpha again. Besides, who would want an over-sized Alpha looking Omega like him anyway? What he doesn't expect, is to meet a little wolf alpha that makes his big bear heart turn to goo.

This is the sixth book of the Northern Lodge Pack series. Every book is about 30k and guaranteed to have an HEA. You can read them on their own, but it's advised to read them in order for maximum appreciation. 18+ readers only please! And yes, this book contains M/PREG, knotting, adults doing lots of sexy naughty things to each other, and way more than the occasional use of potty mouth language.

Sweet Maxi-pad

Out of all the books, I looked forward to Maxx’s book the most. He’s been patiently watching his packmates pair off, hoping against hope that he will meet his fated mate. He’s the most tender hearted alpha, and when he meets his mate? Oskar is just not ready or willing to mate with an alpha. He’s suffered untold abuses from his previous alpha, who thankfully, refused to mate him. His lack of confidence due to the abuse and his appearance are heartbreaking. (As a bear shifter he’s quite tall and muscular for an omega). But it’s sweet Maxi-pad who stole my heart. He is my favorite single character in the series. There’s very little angst, but a touch of drama. The narration as always is well done and enjoyable.

Not Typical Alpha/Omega

I love that in this story Maxx and Oskar are not your typical alpha and omega. Maxx isn't your typical overbearing and huge alpha, and Oskar isn't a little omega! Oskar has a difficult time accepting Maxx as his fated mate because of his cruel ex. I really like watching their relationship grow throughout the story and Maxx is incredibly understanding and loving with Maxx. The narrator again did a great job with the characters and emotions of the story. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

When size does not matter

An omega in need of healing and an alpha prepared to provide for him no matter what. I liked he build up of the relationship in this story. I felt that the narrator did a better job with the bears voices than the wolves. Also the beginning of the narration was a bit hard for me to get into. But it got better as the story progresses, this at times poignant story makes up for it.

Great!

This is an engaging story that kept me listening straight through until the end. The story is heartfelt, as well as heartbreaking for things Oscar had to endure. Overall, the story is full of patience, love, and hope. The narrator does a nice job of bringing the characters to life. I look forward to reading/listening to more of this series.

Find Love, Acceptance, Family

Once again we see that stereo types must be set aside. I love how this big bear is a perfect match for Maxx. There is a lot of danger and drama as well but the men handle it together.

Oh bears

Oh what Oskar has been through is terrible. I am so glad that he finds a good mate in Maxx. I love how they work together to overcome Oskar’s past. He has a lot to work through and they get to know each other during the next little while. I thought that the narrator did a good job in this story with the characters and the way that they interact. I can’t wait for more of this pack.

Size doesn't matter

I really enjoyed Max and Oskar's story. I love that even though Oskar is bigger than his alpha, it doesn't matter. Similar to the relationship in book 5, there is a lot of relationship building before they claim each other which is a great change from the norm.

While I really enjoy how John does the bears' voices, I'm not a huge fan of how he did Max's voice as well as some of the other wolves.

I really like the entire series and have read them many times and am glad that I can now enjoy them in audio.

Oskar and Maxx

I love stories where the the physical characteristics don't conform to stereotypes, and that is Oskar. He's a big brawny bear shifter who is also an Omega. After being bullied and abused by his former Alpha for his size, he has a hard time believing Maxx is not only his fated mate but also truly interested in him. Maxx has never gone for the typical twink Omegas, so Oskar is a perfect fit.
It's so much fun getting to see every new relationship and how it develops, and also keeping up with the rest of the pack from previous books

Wonderful healing story and great narration

OK this was by far my favorite book of the series so far, Oskar is amazing!

This is a wonderful story about Oskar who comes to stay with the pack for reasons only a few know about. He is easily mistaken for an alpha due to his unusually large size, but he is in face an omega. Maxx instantly scents him and knows that the heartbreakingly sweet Oskar is his fated mate. It takes Maxx some convincing though to persuade Oskar to look through the horrors of his past, value himself, and follow his heart.

Oskar and Maxx simultaneously broke my heart and healed it. Oskar’s history was so rough and he really deserved unwavering belief and support that Maxx was able to provide him. I loved the way that he was so openly accepted into the pack and how despide what he was lead to believe his whole life, everyone worked to show him that his size and stature made no difference on him as an omega.

The narration was perfect! I even went back to check that the narrator was the same as the previous because his range of voices is so incredible. His accent is fantastic and the more I listen to him the more I continue to be blown away by how talented he is!

The dynamic between these two was is one of my favorite heelin stories. If you have to pick just one from the series this is it!

Omega Accepted

This book had me on the edge.. Poor Oskar and Max. Right from the beginning they had such a struggle to get to their fated mating and HEA, everything just seemed to be set against them. All the stuff that Oskar went through previously and has to deal with in this book. I was terrified when his horrible ex showed up, even when the Bear Alpha came to help, idk why he let it get as far as it did before he stepped in. But, Max was the perfect mate for Oskar, he made sure that Oskar always felt safe with him and I think that was a huge relief for Oskar knowing he could depend on Max to not hurt him no matter what happens. I think this book was one of the harder stories to hear in this fluffier cute series. But I've liked each and every book and couple so far and this one was no different.

Audio - I think John is an awesome narrator. And I really enjoy all the different vocal inflections he can give us even during just one book. I think the emphasis he puts on the bears Accents are so much fun to hear and listen to and totally go so well with their character traits. Another great narration..
