Kari Gregg's I, Omega will appeal to two different types of readers: those who love BDSM and those who love shifters. I must admit I am in the latter camp, but the BDSM element worked for me in this instance, despite my usual vanilla reading tastes.The book starts with Gabriel being hunted by the shifter who he had a one night stand with. After that night, Gabriel abandoned his life to go on the run to avoid the man who had forever changed him, marking him as his Omega. However, when his Master, a force of nature named Cal, eventually finds him; Gabriel soon learns what his role in the pack is as Cal's pet and most treasured human.Since I am not used to reading hardcore D/s themes, I have to admit it took me a few chapters to get into I, Omega, but once I did, I am glad I continued with the book. Cal and Gabriel are super hot together and nothing screams top!Alpha more than Cal and his treatment of Gabriel. While the extreme BDSM might not be to all readers' tastes, I felt Gabriel's submission helped propel the storyline along. In fact it was key to the plot and explaining Gabriel's role as an Omega in Cal's pack. Plus I think a little D/s in werewolf stories are expected at this point in the genre and Kari Gregg delivered in all aspects!In general, I, Omega is an interesting take on the werewolf trope, weaving in BDSM and claiming elements that flowed naturally to tell a fascinating tale of love, possession, home and family. I foresee more from Ms. Gregg in this universe and I look forward to every delicious journey.Dark Divas Reviews
