Gage is a typical omega—submissive, domestic, eager-to-please ... horny. But he wasn’t born with all the right equipment or the right smell. Living as a beta wolf is too painful, so he’s been hiding out in the human world. Then his sister turns up on his doorstep running from an unwanted claiming, and Gage is forced into Northern Pack territory to seek asylum.

💜 this author’s take on transgender

Loved the whole idea of the transcaste the author had going on here. The realness of the problems Gage encountered and the nonacceptance and double standards of some and acceptance from the one that mattered. Then to see his self-esteem slowly build was wonderful. Really enjoyed this one :)

Surprising

I went into this book expecting a/b/o dynamics, shifters, lots of sex - a light read, nothing too serious. I was not expecting to be blown away by the depth of the story woven around, and into, the sex. The author takes a serious subject, gender dysphoria, and treats it respectfully and realistically. (Yes you can treat something realistically even if there are shifters and lots of sex. 😊) And it is there from beginning to end. A lovely change from the many romance books that have a se ...more

So entertaining! I was grinning throughout, enjoying the ridiculous moments, the sweet moments, and the steamy ones. *fans self*

I loved the plot of an omega being trapped in a beta's body, and the author did a great job of including details about how that affected all parts of Gage's life. Seeing Ryker react to some of those details was one of my favorite parts of the story.

Yes, this is one for the favorites shelf, to be read again. And again :P

Now THIS is how to do a/b/o. Honestly Tanya Chris is currently one of the only authors I would trust to get this genre even remotely right. She rides the edge between ID!fic and social commentary perfectly and never ever forgets that everything about this genre should always come with a wink :)

Wolf shifter Omegaverse. No world building which made it dependent upon the first installment. Easy going alpha. Insecure transgender omega. MCs were a good fit because they both wanted a conservative traditional relationship in a progressive pack where omega rights were protected. Unfortunately, the relationship development was lacking although the knotting sex was hot.

I really enjoyed this story. It combines elements of shifter stories with BDSM.

Gage is an omega trapped in a beta body, and he hates it. Ryker is the first person to take him seriously and is attracted to him and wants to keep him.

This is the story of two people who will do anything to stay together.

I really like Tanya Chris' style of writing! It's wolfy somehow, and set just the right tone for this ABO world. I also love how she goes all in with her characters in regard to the stereotypical roles assigned alphas, betas and omegas. No apologies for the über-bossy nor for those with strong submissive tendencies. Plenty of smexy times with a bit of kink, and of joyous falling-in-love which makes it a perfect paranormal escapism novella. Looking forward to more of the series!

Now, I know Gage was an Omega. His scent and classified gender was beta, but everything about him felt Omega. Everything. Except the fact that he couldn't have a heat or produce slick. He wanted to be the submissive type, claimed by the dominant alpha. The kind that doesn't even ask as far as the sex. Just does it. He wants to feel knotted and whole. But he knows he will never be able to have that. No one will call him by his right gender, much less listen to how he feels. When he goes to the northern pack to find a place for his sister, he meets Ryker. The alpha he wish would drag over the desk and have his way with him. Especially with the pheromones Ryker is giving off. But nothing can come of it, since he has very intention of returning to the human side of things. But Ryker knows Gage is the one for him. He even accepts that Gage is his OMEGA. Which for Gage is huge. And Ryker is going to do everything he can to keep Gage with him forever.
Being born technically as a beta but knowing you are an Omega is a difficult thing. In today's packs, things are changing, but a lot of people still refuse to accept he is anything but a beta. Even his own family. Living in the human world, he could get sex anytime if he wanted, but it wasn't an alpha knot. It wasn't the feel of an alpha on top of him, claiming him. Taking him. He was getting help from the doctor in the pack to try and change things for him and he thought it might work, until he realized through something of Ryker’s, what Ryker really wanted. And Gage couldn't be that. He didn't know what to do.
Ryker knew the minute he smelled Gage, he wanted him. Something was different about this Omega. Other than his gender. And everything in Ryker said mine. He ended up taking him home and playing out his fantasies on Gage. And that's where my problem came in. At first, anyway. Ryker didn't really know what Gage wanted in the bedroom. And with being in a progressive pack when it comes to omegas, he should have taken Gage’s everything into account. But he was thinking like a dominant alpha. Thank goodness it was what Gage ended up wanting, but I really felt like he went too far at first. Without making sure it was all for sure ok with Gage. Once they established what they wanted, then it was great.
Gage needed someone like Ryker to be what he knew he was. And thankfully Ryker was fully prepared to be that. They just needed to both be in agreement. There are a lot of changes being made and for the better, and thankfully Gage was able to really the benefits of those. You will have to read to find out what and how. It's really great.

A very original tale about acceptance of oneself and others.

Omega Revealed by Tanya Chris tells the story of wolf shifters Gage and Ryker, who are both trapped in roles they don’t agree with and feel very lonely. The world they both belong to has laws and norms based more on their animal side than their human one. A pack is very structured, and there are castes. The cast each individual must belong to is determined by their scent, regardless of how they really feel or think about themselves.
Gag A very original tale about acceptance of oneself and others.

Omega Revealed by Tanya Chris tells the story of wolf shifters Gage and Ryker, who are both trapped in roles they don’t agree with and feel very lonely. The world they both belong to has laws and norms based more on their animal side than their human one. A pack is very structured, and there are castes. The cast each individual must belong to is determined by their scent, regardless of how they really feel or think about themselves.
Gage, an omega born into the body of a beta, lives in a human city to escape the constant hurt of being a disappointment to his family and being continuously called Beta Gage by everyone else.
Ryker is an alpha who lives and work in the progressive Northern Pack, where omegas are treated with respect and never forced into any kind of sexual abuse or claiming, as it often happens in the more traditional packs. However, Ryker secretly wishes for his own omega to treat as he pleases, but doesn’t dare to hope he will ever find one.
One day, Gage arrives in Northern Pack territory seeking asylum for his sister Carmen, who is an omega and will be forced by their father into an unwanted claiming. When Ryker and Gage finally meet, it’s lust at first sight. Gage’s scent is quite confusing, but their instinct are not.
Will Gage and Ryker finally find in each other what they have been longing for? Read on and find out!

I liked reading Omega Revealed because it’s very original compared to other shifters’ stories. Tanya Chris is a master at creating a harsher, more credible shifters’ world and at describing Ryker and Gage’s interactions in terms of instinct and pheromones, which reflect their animal side, and the deeper, more human intuition that tells them who the other really can be, the potential they can reach as a couple. What I liked most is how Gage gathers all his courage and embarks on a self-acceptance journey and how he learns that being different becomes a curse only if one wants to conform to other people’s standards in order to fit in. The other characters in the book have interesting personalities, especially Carmen, Gage’s little sister. They both grow a lot and overcome the prejudices they have regarding one another by falling in love with their respective partners. I would have loved to know more about Ryker, his work and way to interact with the whole Northern Pack. He downplays himself a lot when he tells Gage about himself, but I’m sure he is Alpha of the Northern Pack for a reason that goes beyond his caste and scent.
The cover of the book is very nice - the powerful gaze of the wolf is in contrasts with the warm colors of its pelt and the grassy field. The red boulders are (to me) a symbol of the inner and outer blocks we find along our path and only we can decide whether to remove them or simply step around them.
I highly recommend reading Omega Revealed by Tanya Chris if you want to read a steamy hot and intelligent shifters’s love story.

And third, probably the most emotionally tortuous, he gets to experience his body as a beta wolf knowing he's an omega. Deciding that the human world is better because of their lack of caste identification, he lives and works among them. At least it's one fewer agonizing situation to deal with. But knowing he'll never be claimed or bedded like the omega he truly is is slowly crushing him. What he wouldn't give to have what he desperately yearns for...

I liked this story. Ryker was such a good alpha for Gage. His inherent instincts were responding to Gage's and they were the perfect match. It's when his head told him one thing and his wolf told him another that he got into trouble with hurting Gage. When they finally get it together, however, it was tender, fierce, passionate, and the true claiming that both of them always wanted but never thought they'd find.

The small confrontation with the heir-apparent was off-putting mainly because of how the descriptions cheapened Gage and Ryker's experiences with him. It hinted at a larger confrontation, added drama, darker motivations, that never happened. That scene could have been excluded and we'd still get the caste expectation frustration, sexual role misunderstandings, and identity angst.

The medical treatment wasn't really touched on much, just some caveats that they knew pretty much nothing of benefits, side-effects, duration, or anything else, so it was nice for the story's end-point but not really something to think too hard about lest you get bogged down by legitimate scientific consequences of hormone treatments. Gage's consultation with Dr. Petra, however, was perfect because she was able to address stereotypes, misconceptions, and dispel any notions of a caste-wide experience. The ending was a bit abrupt but it allowed for the final "wish" Gage had in regards to his beta versus omega experience. Overall, though, the story was interesting, applicable to gender identity issues in real life, and full of tender, fierce acceptance. Ryker was a great champion for Gage and under his love and attention Gage could finally flourish. ...more

There he meets Ryker and there's an immediate connection. They spend time together and grow close as they travel to collect Gabe's sister. But close enough for Gabe to stay?
I really enjoyed this story. It's incorporating shifter society dynamics with a kind of caste dysmorphia regarding Gabe having the body and scent of a beta but inside feeling like he is an omega. We see/deal with his feelings on that and how other shifters treat him, especially his family. However, Ryker is amazing, accepting what Gabe says pretty much straight away helping them both with roles that they want to play and just needed to find that person that wants what they give. Ryker is strong physically and mentally, wanting to be the one to care for Gabe in all ways, he defends him to others and wants them to treat Gabe as Gabe wants to be treated.
This shifter settlement is very much traditional in being comfortable in skin, not needing clothes. It's interesting to read another type of "world" but within the human world that's still around.
The supporting characters are good. There are many progressive shifters trying to advance omega rights in their community but there are just as many a-holes. Luckily the overall person ruling is happy allowing and wanting people to live how they want, not being repressed or mistreated.
Gabe's sister was annoying to me. Even though her father was trying to push an unwanted marriage upon her, she treats Gabe quite harshly, even though he's the one helping her escape and set up a new life.
I was really happy with the outcome of the story and would be interested to read other stories from the same community.
