I like how this turned a lot of stereotypes we typically see in Alpha, beta, omega stories on their head. Asher was not your typically omega and Liam was not your typical alpha. I liked the two of them and their relationship was intense but also sweet. Also, adore the cover art! A fun and enjoyable read for sure.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

Okay well this was not exactly what I expected 😅🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I didn’t realize that omega verse was not just for werewolves. I love the boy love plot but it was a bit much for me personally. The details of the spicy scenes and the accidental pregnancy trope really just pushed it over the edge. I’m not an accidental pregnancy trope kinda gal and the hot and coldness of Asher just irritated me. The book itself was good and a wholesome story at the end but the way Asher behaves, I just can’t get over. I received this as an ARC from Net Galley and was glad to be able to read it, but will not be reading the rest of the series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC!

I loved this omega verse anime influenced boys love book. I thought the characters were well done and likable. The cover is beautiful.

OOOhhhhh this book. Dominate me is a spicy read with two main male characters. The author did a phenomenal job at writing the spicy scenes. There was no cringy feeling or "why did they use this word" moments. The relationship between Liam and Raven is beautifully written and complex. You can feel the tension and chemistry between them building.
Dominate Me is a captivating story and a must read for boy's love novels.

I just reviewed Dominate Me by Eve Healy. #NetGalley

Thank you Net galley for sending me this book to review.

" Dominate me" was my first Omegaverse book I've read and honestly it was one of the spiciest books I've read this year. As I already said in my previous review on one of Eve Healy's books, that they are my one favorite authors . If they write a book, I'm reading it.

I really liked this book! The characters were interesting and I found them more loveable. The chemistry between these two is great. I enjoy a good omegaverse story and this hit all the buttons.

Although I love a good Omegaverse, I wasn't thrilled with this one in the way I wanted to be. I loved the idea of finding your bandmate in a brothel and the Omega dominating the Alpha but I did not like how Asher stepped all over Liam. Liam gave up or would have given up everything for him and it was a very emotionally abusive relationship in my eyes.

However, the short part f book two at the end with Nathan was FIRE! I cannot wait to start that one right away!!

As a disclaimer, this novel is my introduction to Omegaverse, and I had to look up the genre before I could understand the premise because I was a bit confused in the beginning. This did not influence my rating because this can happen with any genre. I did find it to be a positive since I couldn't have a bias by comparing it to others of the same genre since it had to stand on its own.
Liam, a dominant Alpha, is talked into going to an Omega brothel by his friend Nathan, a recessive Alpha, after a night of drinking and card playing. There, he finds Asher, a recessive Omega, and both feel an instant connection. During their second encounter, when they actually have sex, the dynamic will be quite different than any Alpha or Omega would have together as Asher becomes the dominant person. Their very heated relationship quickly extends beyond the brothel as Liam and Asher begin to have deeper feelings for one another. Asher becomes pregnant almost at the beginning of their real relationship, Asher freaks out since he wants to be a free spirit, and then all bets are off regarding their future.
While I enjoyed the novel, and did not want to stop until I finished it, there were a few things that bothered me, but because they were important to the story, the author was definitely successful in drawing me into that mindset
.How in the world was Liam a dominant Alpha? His friend and coworker Nathan, a recessive, had more of a backbone than he did, and was not very happy his friend was in a relationship with someone so low as an Omega. It wasn't just being the submissive in the relationship with Asher, Liam was kind of weak in his world outside of it as well. He was nervous, insecure, and a people pleaser. The only dominant traits he expressed were when he felt someone was trying to insult Asher, or felt possessive. For the most part, he was with Asher, he only showed his dominant side when he was annoyed, or did not want to deal with any drama.
Asher only seemed to fit the description of the recessive Omega in the physical part, but he was definitely not in any other way. Yes, part of that was because he had some inner demons fighting to prevent any happiness or normalcy to his life. He ruled their relationship. However, he was very selfish, throughout the entire novel. Again, emphasizing his determination to be a free spirit. He refused to let Liam mark him, which would have bonded them for life. However, Liam, being the submissive, and to show his commitment to Asher, asked Asher to mark him, even though it would only be symbolic in nature. Plot twist there.
I will not give any spoilers, but I am happy there was no real description regarding how Asher gave birth. I don't even want to know. So, thank you for that.
Liam almost kept his ears down, and tail tucked beneath him to everything Asher demanded.
I wanted to strangle them both at times. However, this was intentional because at times they both filled their roles as they were born to do. Liam was the dominant as he supported Asher, and gave him the security he needed. Asher himself was very insecure, and needed someone strong to help him become the person he was meant to be.
Yes, they did have their HEA, and it was amusing...in a good way.
This was a very well written novel, and helped introduce and discover how the Omegaverse is as a genre
Instead of the usual epilogue, there was the "side story" of Nathan, and the preview of his story in the next novel of the series. It was definitely VERY eye opening. I am not quite sure how consensual his introduction to Sam was, dubious as best. It is obvious the role in their relationship will also be outside of the typical social construct as well. I am very curious, and will more than likely read that as well.
It is definitely a mature novel. There are quite a few explicit and graphic intimate M/M scenes. One was of a not so consensual encounter, but no connection to the main characters.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was mostly SUMT!! I didn't now what was going on for like 1/4 of the time but that might have been me being slow. There was way too many time jumps for me and it didn't feel like Asher really wanted to be in that relationship. I wish we could have got his POV. Because it felt like he was forced into that relationship a little but maybe there something I didn't really see. The last Chapter wasn't really about the characters, and it felt out of place. But I guess it did do what it set out do which was wanting me to read the next book so I will see I might just have to do that.

I enjoyed this romance story with all characters within. The main characters were Liam and Asher.

Liam is a dominant alpha. One night while out with friends from work Liam friend Nathan want to play a game. Liam win and Nathan gives him money so that he can go to the Omega House and experience some fun. But what Liam find is something surprising.

Asher is an omega. He works at the Omega house. When a guy comes to see him and just want to talk. Asher is surprised by this no one has done this before.

This was quite different type of story than mostly I have read before. I thought that it was a manga with pictures and words. Since that cover looks like a manga cover but is not.It had action and drama throughout. It had a few giggles within. This is a steamy story and a M/M with a baby in it.

I received a complimentary copy via Netgalley. This is my honest unbiased opinions.

If you are looking for full length Omegaverse stories, give Eve Healy a try and ignore my neutral ratings because this is the start of promising series. Dominate Me is well-written and has many interesting characters. Unfortunately, I just can’t seem to wrap my head around the Omegaverse tropes.

Recommended for: fan fiction/Omegaverse readers that enjoy fated pair tropes

Author’s content warning: contains depictions of male pregnancy, prostitution, miscarriage, abortion, child abandonment, and BDSM

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for providing this arc! (Actually I believe this book has been released since last year).
This book was not too bad! It had some good smut, it was omegaverse, and sometimes with omegaverse there’s some…annoying “typical” gender roles that come into play (I personally really disliked how it came up in the story but I’m certain other people may not be bothered by it)... Both our characters are male, and there is male pregnancy . The TW indicates it would be discussed but it definitely was a huge part of the plot so, definitely be aware. Otherwise—our MC’s were adorable and I thought the love story was quite cute!

Dominate Me by Eve Healy is a quick read that was unique from many other MM romance reads out there. The omegaverse component was interesting to read and learn about, how dynamics worked but it became muddled with primary and secondary sex levels, dominant vs recessive, alphas, betas and omegas. I felt that Liam was an ok character but I couldn’t figure out his job or his money, how he grew up rich and had the vacation home but lived in a dangerous studio apartment and couldn’t afford the brothel but then had tons of money for shopping and a sudden new apartment along the way. Raven/Asher was so frustrating, he seemed so immature and I don’t understand how labile his moods would be, it was whiplash keeping up with what mood he was in rather than resisting societal norms for omega and alpha relationships. The sex scenes were well laid out and build up nicely.
Overall this book wasn’t something I’d pick up or recommend, but I applaud the author for ideas that weren’t overdone and made for a unique storyline.

"Dominate Me" is my second read by Eve Healy. I really liked "The Mourning Dove and His Snow Sparrow" and was excited to get my hands on a copy of this book. Let's quickly set the scene. This book takes place in a non-shifter omegaverse with three classes: alpha, beta, and omega. There is also a secondary sex characteristic of being dominant or recessive. The book includes mpreg, and trigger warnings apply for miscarriage, abortion, prostitution, abandonment, and strong BDSM elements. There is also a brief mention of a non/dub-con type of kink play in the very beginning.
On to the plot! We follow our main character and only POV Liam, a dominant alpha, as he goes to an omega brothel on a dare. He's incredibly uncomfortable with the concept even though it's considered normal for betas and alphas to partake. He's drawn for unknown reasons to an aloof omega named Raven and spends their first meeting simply talking. He's immediately smitten and returns over and over to Raven for more than just friendly conversation. Over time, the two forge a sort of relationship that extends beyond the walls of the brothel. While Liam is addicted to Raven's presence, the omega is quite capricious, longing only for freedom despite his attraction. But one mistake threatens both of their dreams and happiness.
I really liked this book! I found myself coming back to it repeatedly throughout the day just to see what happened next with our MCs. The relationship was at times heartbreaking and full of trials. I even found myself getting a little frustrated with one of the MCs based on how they were treating the other. But to me, that's a good sign because it means the author did a good job of making me care about the characters. This book also has lots of steam, as you can imagine and I found it rather enjoyable!
I would recommend this book to fans of fantasy omegaverse MM romances with lots of steamy moments. I'm giving it 4/5 stars as it needed another pass by an editor to fix some grammar mistakes that took me out of the story.

Special thanks to Eve Nealy and NetGalley for giving me access to this book in exchange for honest feedback!

First of all thank you to NetGalley for letting me read this book but I ended up confused by a lot of it and I didn’t like Asher at all as he was so inconsistent and borderline toxic.

Thank you, NetGalley and Eve Healy!
Definitely a great option for those who like omega verse! I think the author does a great job of bringing depth to the characters while keeping the story interesting and spicy. The romance isn't exactly the healthiest or the best, but the way the characters interact, especially with the world, is interesting to read about. Ashley especially was very interesting and complex, which I extremely enjoy in a character.

This was a beautiful read! It’s a solid 4 stars. If you love a fluffy but also spicy omegaverse, this one is for you! It’s a really wonderful story about designations and no traditional relationship structures. The two mcs were so cute and really went through a lot together. The ending with their bonding was really interesting as well! I wasn’t expecting that. Overall, this was a lovely omegaverse erotica.

thanks Netgalley for the ARC

This book to describe in one word would be Omegaverse. In two words, Spicy Omegaverse. It was an interesting read. I just honestly was shocked throughout most of the book as I've never really read Omegaverse before and this was just an interesting experience.

Dominate Me was a good book! I would have liked more back story on these two characters, especially about Raven. Overall it was an enjoyable, quick read.
