Dayton is in a place in his life when he's just about to give up on finding a suitable partner to start a family with. As a male omega over thirty, his biological clock is ticking louder and louder. If it weren't for his mothers, he probably would have given up on dating already. He is one of the few unlucky individuals whose pheromones smell nothing like the sweet, lovely scent they should. Following a number of unsuccessful relationships, he starts to believe he might have to settle with either being alone or ending up with a beta who cannot sense his pheromones, even to the dismay of his parents.
Rowland's circumstances are a little complicated. No matter his successful career and good looks, there's no sugarcoating the fact that he's a thirty-eight-year-old divorcee with three children, at least one of which is becoming more and more handful by the day. Never having recovered from his wife's cruel departure, he is far too aware that his pheromone condition would be too much to handle for most people. When his mother sets him up on yet another blind date, he relents—under the condition of it being the last.
One Last Chance is a non-shifter, gay omegaverse standalone romance novel set in Kat Sinclair's venusverse. It's an angsty but light-hearted story with explicit sexual scenes and a HEA. It does not feature on-page mpreg, but contains talks of it.
Independent reviewer for BookSirens, I was gifted my copy of this book.
Dayton is an omega with a slightly sour smell. Very uncommon. It means his dating life is almost non-existant and his mothers keep setting him for blind dates. Rowland is an alpha with a condition that makes his smell overpowering to most omegas, and indeed, betas. The latest blind was the last one, he was adamant. But when Dayton and Rowland meet, sparks really do fly. But there are those who are against Rowland being happy.
What I liked about this, was it went a way I did not see coming, and I really enjoyed being kept on my toes.
AND! It wasn't until I was tagging it, that I realised something: first person, present tense and multi point of view. If you follow my reviews, you'll know this is not a fav of mine, and I WILL dump books written as such if they don't grab me. I won't apologise for that either. But this book grabbed me and didn't let go, so much so, I did not notice the way it was written!
Now, there is a bit in the beginning about the way this world works. I read it, I really did, but much went over my head about the intricate explanations about the venusverse and how it all works. I don't think I missed much by not comprehending it all, to be honest. Just needed to mention it!
I've not read anything by this author, and it says this book is set in the venusverse world she created. I can't find any, so I'm assuming this is the first, please correct me if I'm wrong though! I will read them, as and when. Kat Sinclair is now firmly in my crosshairs!
