Donovan’s Girl (The Sacred Omega’s)
by Merel Pierce

This hadn’t actually been on my kindle for all that long, though I had pre-ordered it many months ago. However, it is one of those books that I would have promised myself I would read next, but never quite gotten to.
This was a much shorter read than I had realised, it took less than an hour to complete, so it fits the “quickie” bill perfectly.

The price and page length are clear indicators that this is a short book, so I held no high expectations of reading a deep or complex story. What we do get is more of an extended scene, a brief introduction with Donovan and December followed by the main body of the tale.
We only get Donovan’s point of view, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and as far as Alpha’s go he was pretty decent, respectful and caring. If the book had been any longer I would have wanted the heroine’s viewpoint too but I could appreciate why the author chose not to use it on this occasion.
Overall it’s quite a beautiful and touching story, one that definitely left me frustrated and needing more of this pair. Both protagonists are more mature in years, which is always a bonus for those of us who won’t see 35 again! As long as you go in expecting a quick read rather than a layered story you won’t be disappointed.

Donovan’s Girl is a short Holiday story set in the world of The Sacred Omegas. Specifically, December’s world, and features appearances by several characters in the series.
This one really is a quickie. I’m glad there was enough to it to be touching. That’s not easy in a book that only takes an hour to read. Excellent quickie review!

Thank you! I guess it helped that I am familiar with the authors work so already “know” the world it is set in.

I’m doing this challenge this year, too! How fun. (I did a novella, too.) I love books that feature “mature” main characters since I’m nowhere close to my 20s and 30s any longer. This one sounds like it could be a good introduction to the series/world. Thanks!

I often struggle with YA/NA books these days. I’m too old to want to read about teenagers lol. Good luck with the rest of the challenge.
