Quinn

I didn’t believe in fated mates, or any of that insta-love nonsense. Truthfully, I barely believed in love. It wasn’t something I’d ever needed, and I didn’t have time for it. Besides, love just led to being hurt, and I could do without that.

When a huge alpha barged his way to the front of the line in my bakery, it was anything but a meet cute. My sassy mouth promptly told him exactly where he could take his perfectly formed behind. Right back out the door he’d just come in, and don’t come back, thank you very much.

Then our hands touched, and sparks of electricity shot between us, and my soul screamed Mate.

I wasn’t looking for love, or a mate, but he was looking at me and I couldn’t look anywhere else. He was big and sexy and growly, and smelled like every wishful dream I’d ever had, and forgotten. Making me want things I’d never wanted before. Making me want to run from him as fast as my legs could carry me. Secretly, hoping he would chase me.

Lachlan

I was having a bad morning. Clashing with a smart mouthed, sarcastic omega was the cherry on top of my already bad day. Getting tossed out of my favorite place for sweet treats was not how I’d planned to start my day.

I’d always played by the rules, and done what was expected of me. My whole life, I’d known what I’d wanted in my mate. Until he was standing in front of me, nothing like I’d expected him to be, sassing me and ordering me about.

Now he was all I wanted. I just had to convince him of that.

We were opposites in every way. Fate must have gotten Her wires crossed, and messed up big time. Or did She?

His Sassy Omega is the first in a series, but can be read as a standalone, with no cliff hangers and a HEA. It contains opposites attract, age gap, shifters, knotting, and mpreg.

**Trigger warning: There is a situation where terminating a pregnancy is discussed between the MC’s, but it is only a discussion. If this could trigger you in any way, please skip that chapter. This does contain a HEA.

REVIEW:

I was totally ready for this book…or so I thought! So many surprised and twists that it kept me on the edge of my seat and couldn’t read it fast enough! Just Wow!!!

Lachlan is the oldest, fifteen minutes before his next identical quintuplet brother was born, and deemed face to the massive Sinclair fortune. His brothers could get away with a lot however his father drilled onto him early in life that he always had to be “on”! This means never, ever show anything but the top alpha which includes a dutiful omega keeping his house and bearing his pups. At 38, time is ticking and his latest girlfriend, the one he thought would be it, has kicked him to the curb for being too vanilla and too boring. When Wade, his exceptional PA, calls in sick on a Monday morning when he is running late, life just keeps kicking him. Now he needs his morning fix from that place Wade goes to every morning that his best friend has opened. When Lachlan makes a gigantic mess of that quick errand he knows he’s in deep trouble! But how can he make it up and get back in good graces with the sassy bakery owner. Especially when they shake hands and knows immediately Quinn is The One, his mate that Fate has chosen for him. But how can this be?

Oh my goodness, this is a fabulous start to what I hope is a fantastic series! I loved that Lachlan and Quinn both thought that they knew themselves however they discovered their true selves with the other. I know that they hid parts of themselves from others around them as a protection mechanism however Fate helped push them to look closely to what they thought they wanted/needed and open their eyes to what they truly did! Love and trust is a hard thing for both men but Fate knew what she knew and these polar opposites definitely were it.

This book had some wonderful side characters that really enhanced the world the author created. It is obvious that Finn and Wade are fated mates that are trying to avoid each other. Their story is bound to be ripe with cutting dialogue and burning passion. And I can’t wait!!! Jamie’s missing fated mate will hopefully be found. I loved that he went against the grain and opened a kink club after getting out of what ever government agency he had been in. Brendan’s story holds great promise after the Santa night at Jamie’s club. He’s the only one that supposedly hasn’t met his fated mate yet but learning about Littles will be eye opening I’m sure for the Salt and Pepper Daddy!

One of the other characters I truly appreciated was Quinn’s assistant baker Josh. He was the one person Quinn had let in when it came to his bakery and he was a loyal friend and proved he was a trusted employee that had Quinn’s back. I also loved the spunky GiGi, Quinn’s grandma and biggest supporter. She knew immediately Lachlan was her grandson’s mate. I also adored Lachlan’s mom. She set Lachlan straight, finally giving him the push he need to not become his father but to live his life on his terms and get his true needs fulfilled.

I have to say I was surprised to learn, when going to get the info on this book to write this review, that the is a first time author. Color me shocked! This was an extremely well written full length novel that not only hit some very touchy subjects within this genre but opened the door for some very intriguing and different kinks for the other three of the identical quintuplets.

The single issue I have with this book is that it could have used the insight of a good editor and proofreader. There are a number of mistakes that could easily be rectified by either.

I simply can’t wait for the rest of the Sinclair quints stories. I’m sure they will also have twist and turns I never expect and will challenge me at every turn. Great debut novel by a very talented writer.
