I was so excited for JJ Black after reading and reviewing her very first book 'Accepting the Alpha', as I was very impressed with a brand-new, and not just to me, author’s effort. So, as soon as I heard that 'Our Omega', book two in her 'Great Lakes Wolves' series, was being released, I couldn't wait to get my grabby little hands on it. I mean, hello? It's shifters and I love 'em. I also was interested to see if this new author could keep that wonderful momentum going. I will say that this book can probably be read as a stand alone, but in my opinion there is a lot of backstory in book one that I believe you'd really miss out on.Noah feels like a broken man inside. Even though it has been months since he was rescued from his torture at the hands of a former pack mate and ensconced within the Great Lakes Pack, Noah has nightmares every night about his ordeal. Once a strong man, a strong alpha wolf, Noah now feels as if he will never be able to get past his humiliation and shame at being broken and never lead a pack. Dax is cousin to Kellan and a beta for the pack. Almost as large and powerful as an alpha, Dax simply lacks the desire to lead, which is fine with him. He loves being a beta as leadership holds way too many responsibilities. When these two strong, dominant men discover they're mates, it's going to take a whole lot of compromise to make it work.Since the awful revelations in book one regarding the horrors that Alpha Steele was perpetrating against shifters in his desire to create an unstoppable wolf army, Kellan, Eli, and the entire pack have continued searching for information as to the breeding facilities locations. One such lead has Noah, Dax, and a team of men looking for a facility up north. What Noah and Dax find is Landon, an omega wolf, who also happens to be their other mate. Poor Landon. He's been so abused by the so-called scientists and the guards that he kind of broke my heart a little. Now there are super secret special abilities which omegas have and I thought about sharing them, but…nah. You're going to have to read it yourself.I enjoyed this second installment in the series. There was, again, some predictability but it flowed with the story and made it work. I was disappointed to see so many inconsistencies again, but as this author is still very new, I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt. The love story between Noah, Dax, and Landon was super sexy and fun. I'll be interested to see where the author takes it in the next book as there are some definite revelations that could happen. Good job, JJ!NOTE: This book was provided by Totally Bound Publishing for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews
