Heard: An Omegaverse Story (Breaking Free Book 3)

I loved Heard, book three in A.M. Arthur's Breaking Free series. I loved Jax and Karter. And I loved the story. So...yeah I loved Heard! lol I loved Heard for all of the reasons I loved Seen: lovable guys, good writing, sweet/sexy/funny scenes, angst, and a great story. But I also loved Heard because some of my personal buttons were pushed. With Seen I could tell that the story was more personal to the author, it was a special baby so to speak. And I liked the story for all of the reasons I like any other A.M. Arthur story but it was a little special because you could tell it was special. So now there's Heard and while it didn't have that same "baby" aspect to it Seen did, it instead "did it for me" for other reasons. Saved is the first book in the series and I enjoyed it. I didn't end up loving it unfortunately but I absolutely enjoyed it and I really very much enjoyed seeing Braun and Tarek again in this one. In Heard, Jax is coming at his relationship with Karter from a similar emotional place as Braun was to Tarek. Both Jax and Braun are strong, independently minded omegas. They are both coming from a place of being dominated and dictated to, and are reluctant to be in a relationship because they want to be treated as equal and are wary of whether that's possible with an Alpha. I liked the way Jax dealt with everything and how he handled all of his emotions. Although I like Braun and understood all of his trials and tribulations, I guess I felt like he came off a little…

This is my first book of this world and I loved it. Loved the hurt comfort, loved the journey to love loved the suspense. I hurt when the mc hurt and celebrated when they did. Finding your mate at their lowest, helping them heal while they help you heal. Beside a few grammar issues the writing was great the smexy was hawt. I loved the care that was taken, and the side characters were good. They are from past books. Gonna see what other books this author has

I've been in a reading slump for weeks now and i've also been MIA in social media and pretty much everything else so I had no idea this book was released. Imagine by surprise when I saw it on amazon...so of course I bought it then berated myself for not paying more attention to my surroundings. ANYWAY...this book brought me out of my reading slump. I love Jax and Karter. In the first books I wasn't a huge fan of Karter Jenks but in those books there was also some character growth. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from him in this book but I was so glad it turned out the way it did. Jenks really turned around and I love how much he loves Jax. Jenks had to let go of many of his 'alphahole' tendencies in order to be with Jax and he did amazing, even though he made some mistakes. I absolutely love this world and how the omegas were breaking free of their chains. This book closes out some of the things that happened in the previous two books and it was the perfect ending.

After his mate dies in a work accident, Jax is sent to stay in an omega rescue. There his is sold to a pregnant omega fighting ring. After giving birth to his son he runs away from the fighting ring. While investigating break ins Karter starts to think an omega may be breaking into these homes and something is pulling at him to find the man. Eventually he tracks Jax down and discovers that not only is Jax his mate but was rendered mute by the men who ran the fighting ring. The two men are immediately drawn to each other. Karter is determined to be a good alpha to Jax and his son. I really liked the dynamic of this book. Jax, even though he is the omega he is slightly bigger and stronger than his alpha. Karter doesn’t have an issue with that, in fact he seems to revel in having a non traditional omega. Karter is my favorite alpha in the series so far. He is still a young alpha, who was raised in a conservative home and but he is trying to adapt to a more liberal way of thinking. This book was a bit easier to get through than the the first two in the series. The abuse in this book is a little less pronounced than the first two, but there still is some discussion about what Jax went through during his time in captivity

This is not a rosy, soft and cute story for sure. The passing is rather slow with a lot of story building and a prejudistic society that makes you snarl every so often. The romance thou because of that feels more genuine and entirely earned, even when the base is the classic soulmates. I guess my only complain would be the rare grammar mistake and the odd explanations; because of the crime development through the story there were a lot of long detailed explanations with many names, timelines and statuses which caused me to either get bored or confused. But all in all a really good and interesting story.
