Hedonist: Stories of Lust and Love 1 by Roe Horvat
5.0
Great spin off from the Hedonist duology, which can be read as a standalone, 5/5 stars! Here the book is the divided in three stories, I enjoyed all of them equally.
The first one is an alpha/omega couple who recently got married. The alpha bought the omega in marriage and both are nervous of their roles within their relationship and want to do their best for each other. I liked how the alpha easied the omega's worries about being perfect (from the expected traditional roles within the universe), and how horny both were for each other. The added detail of them liking their traditional roles was a nice touch. They complemented each other great, they're freaky and I loved it lol.
The second pairing is another alpha/omega, between a palace guard and a collared boy, which basically means he can decide to mate or not, usually not doing it and going through their heats having sex with different alphas. The omega here actually wants the alpha, and the alpha yearns to be deserved of him being chosen as his mate. They were adorable. I loved how attentive the alpha was, possibly the most caring one from all the alpha characters in this universe. He respected the omega's decissions all along, which it's the bare minimun, but I really liked how it was highlighted that it was the omega who chose every single thing.
The third and final pairing is omega/omega. I loved how the author included omegas who weren't romantically attracted to alphas, but longed to be mated with another one of their designation, which is a taboo within the universe. Fortunately, they get a happy ending while being involved with another couple (alpha/alpha). I really enjoyed how the older omega introduced the younger one into pleasure and opening up to his own desires, and encouraging him to experiment as he wished. The group sex scenes were hot and their family is adorable.
One last thing I have to mention is that Roe Horvat truly known how to write erotica, this is something I say in most of my reviews of his books but I'm seriously in awe. I'm the type who isn't into insta-lust or lust driving a pairing's development, but his writting makes the trope very entertaining, and I never feel as if it doesn't make sense (which happens with other books that use these elements). Kudos to him.
