Hi Maryse! Would you please as your followers to recommend their favorite Omegaverse or Wolf Shifter Reverse Harem books? I can’t get enough of The Mating Games series by K. Loraine and Meg Anne. It had Wolf Shifter, Vikings, Succubi, Demons and Demigods! Their spinoff (in the same universe) has all of that as well and is about the sister of the vampire and her RH. I read the prequel and am now 12% in and it’s really good. However, it will be a few months until the next book and I’d like to find something in the same category.
I shall investigate!!! 😀
