One decision was all it took to open a hideous can of worms—and give alpha bear Booker Starling a new perspective on his PA, Frey Abbott. Now all he has to do is get Frey to entrust him with something of vital importance—his heart. But first, Frey has to know Booker is the only alpha who will keep it safe.

Booker has suffered the cruelty of rejection, so for protection, he keeps his big heart hidden under a gruff exterior. He will do anything to protect what he holds dear, even if that includes honoring the code of not poaching someone his brother has slept with. Despite his feelings, Booker keeps his distance—until his father's sudden retirement renders that option redundant.

Coming home was bad enough. Now his hands are full 24/7 dealing with a flirty fox. He sets himself three rules, but can he stick to them?

An overheard conversation gives Booker the opportunity to see the real Frey, and resisting him proves futile.

The only option is to throw his cautious nature to the wind. Booker wants everything—including a mate. As for his rules?

All bets are off.

Booker's Bliss is book 3 in Divergent Omegaverse series, where love always wins no matter what the odds are.

4 out of 5 (very good)

BOOKER'S BLISS is the third story in the Divergent Omegaverse series, and for part of the story, we get the same events that happened in Taylin's Temptation. This doesn't happen for long, but just so you're aware.

Frey is the flirty fox, the one everyone thinks is the Omega version of Jupiter. Booker is the big bear who growls all the time. What would these two have in common? Well, a lot of things, as it happens. Not only that, but there's also that thing called attraction, although neither of them will admit to it...

These two are sweet, and both have their own baggage. Booker helps Frey work through his trauma, but deals with his own by himself. Well, with Derick by his side. Due to said trauma, this is more of a slow burn than other books by this author, but it fits. And while I liked that they didn't do anything until Frey's heat, I also sort of wish they had. So Booker would have known that it was just heat madness talking. And Frey, too, now I'm thinking about it. That's shown afterwards, but yeah, I'd have liked to have seen a bit more beforehand.

I will give a Kleenex warning, though. If you've read Taylin's Temptation, you'll remember the incredibly sad circumstances of a certain factory. Well, not only do we revisit that particular moment, but we also go past it, with some tragic and happy events. My eyes were leaking, but as Frey says, blame it on the hormones.

I loved returning to this world and look forward to seeing them on the ranch for the next book, which is Silas and Ziggy's.

Where does one start with about what I do?

I’m a writer, but I’m sure you guessed that by now if you’re reading this, hey?

What you might not know is I’m a little quirky, live in my pj’s most of the time and have cake Saturdays with my sisters every week. I dedicate a little of my time to taking care of my grandbabies and on the dedicated writing days, I like to write an eclectic mix of romance, suspense and paranormal fantasy. In the main, I’ve written gay romance but I’m branching out under another the pen name in the future, so watch this space.

I’ve got a passion for books like you would not believe and it led me down this path and now I’ve over 29 books released and heading towards releasing a whole lot more. The way my head is I never know where I’ll be headed next. I hope you’ll find a little joy in my words and follow me to see where the journey takes me and you.

If you’re interested at some point in 2021 I’ll be writing under the name JP Paton which will be F/M crime and Fantasy two of my favourite things. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled.
