Oh this was freaking good: hugely enjoyable, light-hearted but also kinda dark, pure, smutty entertainment.
Omegaverse has slowly become one of my favourite genres and Beau Brown's spin on it, "Omega Trapped", was an absolute delight to devour.

I managed to inhale it in less than a day: it's got my favourite ABO dynamics and tropes (fated, albeit reluctant, mates, heats and knotting, marking, mpreg, uber possessive alphas and feisty and obstinate omegas), plus arraged marriage, enemies-to-lovers, hate sex, hurt-him-and-you'll-die, and of course, mafia shenanigans.

Even though I know he’s joking, jealousy swamps me. “Oh, really?”
He sighs. “Can I help it if I’m popular?”
“You’re going to be dick-less if you cheat on me.”
He grins. “Well, that escalated quickly.”

Valentino and Nico's romance was absolutely explosive: dark and gritty and violent, but also surprisingly light-hearted and sweet at times, even funny. Both of them have highly questionable morals, and Valentino is decidedly a sociopath who does very horrible stuff (to Nico too, although, in his words, he didn't love him yet, so it was very justified *sarcastic eye roll*), but yeah, I loved them together. Their dynamic is highly addictive, gripping and packed with chemistry and attraction. I also adored the side characters, and I really hope the author has plans to add to this omegaverse mafia universe.

This book was the palate cleanser I needed to finally get over my slump (I HOPE), and I'm so glad I read it. If you're looking for an OTT, darkish and fun romance, this could be the read for you.

TWs/CWs: drug addiction, abortion discussion, non-con, violence, threats of SA/SA, death.

Thank you GRR for the ARC. I received in exchange for an honest review.
