His Reward (Omegas After Dark: Omega Auction #2)

Here's MM Farmer's newst series, Omegas After Dark: Omega Auction, which is a spin-off from her Omega's After Dark series. This is "His Reward."

["When Fire and Ice meet, there’s bound to be a lot of steam…

Lucien
There’s no better feeling than being the favorite for the gold medal in figure skating going into the biggest competition of them all, the Winter Games. So what better way to reward myself for all my hard work than by applying for the Dark Fantasies Club’s omega auction event? I’m in for the time of my life at the super exclusive, darkly naughty event, and I love it.
But when the alpha partner of my dreams ends up saving my life once the fantasy is over, he may be the only person who can truly rescue me.

Boston
I’ve never had a play partner as all-in as Lucien. He ticks my boxes in every way. But it’s after the auction weekend, when our paths cross again as I pull him out of a raging inferno, that the connection we forged in a fantasy might change both of our realities.
Lucien needs someone on his side to help him battle severe injury and a father and sport that have turned their back on him. And I need someone who can help me save my fire station from going under. But could one man’s lie ruin everything between us?"]

I will never understand how authors like MM are able to write characters that are so lovable, people we want to cheer on right along side characters that are so hate-able, people who really need kicked in the ass by karma. These characters are so complex and full, and yet they complete such stereotypical characters without being boring. It's a talent, and this book has all of that and more.

Like the previous book in this series, just like a lot of MM's books, our main couple falls in love in the very beginning, or at least feels that bone-deep, earth-shattering feeling of completeness that is fate and a growing bond. Lucian and Bos are perfect for each other. They're beautiful and kind and caring and supportive (they're also spicy and dirty, but it works for them).

I loved this story. It was depressing and aggravating, but it was uplifting and glorious. 

Trigger Warnings: toxic families, fire, life-threatening injuries, severe burns, disability, and more.
