When Two Omegas Dance: Vale Valley Season 3 Book 10, Amy Bellows

I like it when authors can write about a contemporary problem in a unique enough way that it feels unique to their world but resonates in mine.  Kai and Noah are two omegas that find something deeper than biology, they find their fated mates and when their world refuses to understand them, they find a safe haven in Vale Valley.  I really enjoyed their story.  Sure there were a few plot points that were iffy and some other cringey bits, but overall this was a super sweet story where we absolutely root for these men who seem to have so much against them.

Kai was the one that drew me in the most.  I felt for Noah's plight, but Kai's insistence and earnestness in his pursuit of Noah was what won me over.  He was kind, honest, and devoted right from the start.  He won over Noah in time as well and I enjoyed seeing him soften toward Kai, begin to believe that he could really have a mate in someone that desired him for who he is rather than what he smells like.  Kai's fathers were also a high point, mostly because their acceptance of everything their son is and his dreams is what I hope to see in parents everywhere.

Noah's father is another gem, mostly because when he finally understands exactly what his son feels, he goes out of his way to give him the support he needs, even to his own detriment.  That bit of the plot wasn't given in detail, but I think what we were given was enough to know that the cult Noah and his father escaped is beyond understanding.  I would have liked more in the way of his integration with Kai's family and Vale Valley too.

But really, aside from magic supplanting reality the story itself was well written.  There was balance between finding freedom and finding love.  The attraction was definitely there and it was apparent that they had something more to carry through all the way to their happily ever after.  There have been hits and misses in this series, but this was one story I'd definitely count as one of the hits.

Two Omegas. No alpha. And lots of dancing...

Kai spends eight hours a day training for a grueling sport only the toughest men can handle.

In other words, he’s a ballet dancer.

When Kai gets cut from his dance company, he’s not sure what to do. His whole life has revolved around ballet since he was a child. Heartbroken and uncertain of his future, he ends up at a strip club with his friends. There he sees an omega own the stage with a presence that takes Kai’s breath away.

There isn’t any doubt in Kai’s mind that this omega is his fated mate.

Noah is a red wolf shifter. Like all omega red wolf shifters, he has powerful pheromones that trick alphas into thinking they’ve found their fated mate. But Noah will never have a fated mate. He’s only attracted to other omegas, and while some omegas are drawn in by his pheromones, the artificial connection never lasts. He’s resigned to living his life alone.

But the night Noah meets Kai, Noah feels the connection too. If only he could be sure that Kai’s feelings for him are real.

In a world where everyone thinks they’re Noah’s fated mate, how will he know when he’s found the one person who actually is?
