Chosen By The Champion


So this might be the ARC due furthest away from today, but its an ARC so that counts for something. Here's A.L. Morrow's "Chosen By The Champion." It was previous published as a novelette called "Omega Ever After" (and has since been expanded).

["There are no glass slippers, charming princes, or godmothers for this Cinderella.

Tristan. My father and brothers always make me do their dirty work—and by "dirty work," I mean steal. Refusing them comes with a an arranged marriage to the most despicable alpha Father can find. When I go into heat before I've finished my latest job, I fear for the worst ... until Mason Dawes—the handsome alpha whose painting I'm trying to pilfer—walks in and shows me another way.

Mason. They say I'm this generation's greatest champion of omega rights, but behind my words is a broken heart. The beautiful omega on my doorstep awakes something in me, but he needs my help as much as I do his. And saving him comes with a sacrificing my ideals."]

This book was flipping perfect! It was everything a Cinderella-retelling needed and more. 

Mason only ever wanted to be needed and to take care of someone his own. Tristan only ever wanted freedom (and maybe someone who needed him, just him). So of course they fell in love (and lust) rather quickly, but it was true and it was real and it was beautiful. 

Another author to add to my to-binge list I suppose. ;)

Trigger Warnings: domestic abuse, emotional and verbal abuse, bullying, humiliation, and more.
