This book is so damn wrong, for starters Jake wasn't an alpha at all, just a childish bastard with an inferiority complex, Lucas was more balanced but he wasn't an alpha either like the author wants us to believe, he was more submissive in some ways than Leyland, Leyland in the other way had the leader qualities Jake lacks, Jake is always like you have to obey me because I'm the leader and i say so, instead of telling us is for the welfare of the pack, while Leyland can actually make them understand and guide them through, part of reading about an alpha is that you don't have to be constantly reminded that he is one, you just get into it because of the way he acts & speaks.And the conversation with Leylands parents while he was dying is surreal "our sons dying but w/e oh let me put you with me wife to see what's wrong, by the way, you have a lovely ranch!", that kind of weird, I'm not even going to speak about the grounded thing as other reviewers already had, and explain it well.I was expecting for Lucas to fuck Jake too, having told both men were strong and macho and alpha and all, it doesn't happen, and just for the record, being pure top doesn't make you more alpha, as being versatile doesn't make you a less one.
Better than I thought it would be, I rather enjoyed the surprise and interplay of the "tri" part of tri-omega. The "plot" centered on the extra requirements needed by a rather special and (almost) unique omega. As common in this genre, the relationships progressed extremely quickly, the mate bond turning into almost automatic, seemingly deep-seated love. However, the interplay of the alpha, best friend beta, and newly found omega mate kept my interest, in part due to the heat generated by sometimes conflicting and overlapping desires.
This one was to much for me. I just couldn't stand the characters.
