But before that, there's a camping trip to the woods with his best mates, TJ and Ari. TJ has been Cole's best friend since before school and he's almost as good getting out of trouble as getting into it. Ari came later, but Cole can't imagine life without his sharp intelligence and sweet smiles either.
If you are into guys, they don't make them easier on the eyes than TJ and Ari, but Cole is just fine keeping that to himself. They have meat to grill, some beer, and three nights to say goodbye to their childhood.
Everything is going great until Cole starts feeling odd. Within a few hours his whole life is turned upside down: He is an omega. He is in heat. And he is alone in the woods with two alphas.
There is no going back from that night and Cole isn't sure their friendship can survive what they shared, but one thing is certain: an omega cannot walk away from his fate.
A happier look at accidental sex story. HFN. M/M/M werewolf alpha/omega/alpha first-time romance. Mentions of mpreg,knotting and heat cycles.

RECENSIONE QUI:
https://thereadingslove.blogspot.com/...
Il libro inizia con una scena decisamente hot, una notte di luna piena un omega e i suoi due migliori amici Alpha ma il fulcro di tutto è il percorso traumatico di Cole nell'accettare il suo destino, il turbamento di un ragazzo giovane che vede il suo futuro crollare, le rivelazioni che lo metteranno in crisi. Questo è un racconto breve incentrato sull'essere omega e cosa esso comporta, il pov unico di Cole ci porta a conoscenza di tutte le sue paure e dubbi ma non permette una caratterizzazione completa sugli altri protagonisti, viviamo l'amicizia che lega i tre ragazzi, il sostegno e la passione che li unisce dopo che i dubbi e le paure si assopiscono. Lo stile è semplice anche se ho trovato dei passaggi un po' contorti nei pensieri di Cole che mi hanno fatto tornare indietro per capire il concetto, non ho trovato grande erotismo nonostante sia una threesome perché la parte prevalente riguarda Cole, il suo trauma, il rapporto di amicizia che potrebbe mutare tra i tre e il futuro incerto. Non posso dire se è davvero un omegaverse perché le sfaccettature sono molteplici in questo genere, ho avuto sinceramente il dubbio ma mi astengo nel valutarlo perché non sono una conoscitrice esperta. La traduzione è buona nel complesso ma la scelta stilistica nel ripetere di continuo un termine che fa molto Ottocento e quindi romanzo storico nelle scene di sesso mi ha lasciato perplessa e non ha reso piacevole la lettura. È sicuramente una storia apprezzabile dalle amanti delle interazioni Alpha e Omega anche se poco erotica rispetto ad altre e poco approfondita…

Recensione a cura di Raksha per Feel The Book
Cole, Ari e TJ sono grandi amici, hanno un legame speciale che li unisce in modo profondo; si aiutano, si supportano, in qualche modo si amano perfino. Ma sono solo “Amici”, almeno fin quando, durante una gita in montagna, emerge la vera natura di Cole.
Cole è un Omega, un lupo destinato ad essere protetto, accudito, coccolato, amato, un uomo che avrà il compito di portare avanti la specie partorendo figli.
Ari e TJ sono entrambi Alpha e, appena il cambiamento ha inizio è impossibile per tutti e tre i ragazzi frenare l’istinto e tornare a casa prima di finire sudati, sporchi e appagati.
Solo quando il momento passa, si rendono conto di quanto successo e che le loro vite stanno per cambiare.
Cole è estremamente combattuto, all’inizio è il personaggio più debole del triangolo, pervaso dal senso di vergogna, dal cambiamento inaspettato, dalla paura di perdere i suoi migliori amici, dal terrore di essere abbandonato e non poter avere mai più una famiglia.
TJ è il cucciolone, quello affettuoso, quello che prima di tutti necessita del contatto fisico, che si lascia andare più facilmente e che, senza paura, sa esprimere quello che vuole e quello che sente.
Ari è il cervello del triangolo, un personaggio posato, compatto, chiuso, che non si lascia scappare dimostrazioni d’affetto almeno fin quando non è sicuro di non mettere a rischio il suo cuore.
Insieme sono dolci e bellissimi; un trio di giovani uomini che fanno scelte difficili, si supportano e non si abbandonano nonostante le prospettive difficili.
Alla fine è proprio il personaggio di Cole quello che si dimostra più forte, quello che detiene le redini del gioco, della vita di tutti e tre. È lui che decide di saltare nel vuoto perché l’amore che nel profondo prova per se stesso e i suoi due amici è troppo grande per essere messo da parte.
È un percorso di crescita, un piccolo intreccio di paure e gioie che permettono ai personaggi di aprirsi e migliorare se stessi.
Ari, TJ e Cole sono ben caratterizzati; ognuno di loro rappresenta una parte fondamentale del triangolo, un appoggio senza il quale tutto cadrebbe. Anche i personaggi secondari hanno un loro perché e aiutano nella vicenda pur restando al margine.
La storia è breve ma intensa, ben descritta. Il finale lascia con il fiato sospeso e permette al lettore di immaginare un futuro che non viene raccontato.
Editing della recensione a cura di Lilith per Feel The Book -
2.5 stars. Coming of age story in the dismal caste system world of Omegaverse. This story was unique in that there was a level of equality and fairness in the menage relationship. Unfortunately, the ending was not solid enough.
-
Great story Cole becomes an Omega and has sex with his 2 best friends. They are devastated but soon come to terms with it an make the righ choice and stay friends. Great intro for omega for pack featuring Ray as the Omega. Was a free read from instafreebe. Will definitely read more.
-
I enjoyed this, but it needs either an epilogue or a sequel.

✔ Letto! Che carino!!😍
Adoro i libri tradotti da Phoenix Skylar, e questo non è una eccezione. Vado subito a una richiesta: Hai intenzione di tradurre altri da questo autore? Spero di si!😊😁
Quindi, qui conosciamo tre giovani ragazzi che appena finito il liceo sono pronti a intraprendere la loro strada nella vita. Tutto già pianificato. Alcuni con un talento naturale, altri come Cole perché dislessico. Ma con l'aiuto dei suoi amici e della sua super famiglia, anche lui c'è la fatta.
Tutto cambia quando Cole improvvisamente si ritrova un omega e per di più in calore, nei boschi con solo i suoi due amici Alpha e un odore irresistibile.
Si, sesso. Mooooolto sesso. Bollente, anzi Bollentissimo.😋
Da migliore amici si ritrovano anche amanti, giovani e disposti a prottegere Cole e prendersene le proprie responsabilità in caso Cole rimanesse incinto. Sono ragazzi svegli, che si completano come un puzzle. Disposti a tutto pur di restare uniti. Adesso è tempo di presa di coscienza e conoscenza.
Molto carino, da leggere e provare dispiacere perché si tratta di un standalone...😳
Per me è ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ -
Omega Under The Moon By N.J. Lysk
After they graduate from school best friends Cole, Ari and TJ go on a camping trip. Ari and TJ have already presented as Alphas. Cole assumes he'll present as an Alpha as well until he goes into heat the first night. The story is about how they deal with the aftermath of that night and the changes in their friendships.
This book was unlike any of the other books I've read by NJ Lysk. That was a bit of a shocker. Okay... a BIG shocker.
This book had friendship, gentleness, and affection. I connected with all of the MC's and their emotions. There was no antagonist in this book either. I added it to my 'Favorites' folder and it will definitely be a reread. -
I was genuinely surprised by how good this story was because most Alpha/omega stories of this type of mostly happy, mindless smut. I was almost expecting those horrible free bonus stories at the end because of how the story starts immediately with Cole having his omega heat. When I finished the book, though, I realized the author was good ol' Lysk back with another dark twist on the A/B/O world. No bonus stories needed.
I think I've read every book of Lysk's that I could. I like their writing style because it is often dark and twisted and makes me hurt. So many of them flip the usually somewhat pleasant world of shifters and makes sudden omega heats seem terrifying. Lysk has two series in particular that made me ache as a woman because of all the agony the omegas go through simply because being forced to have sex with multiple alphas and bear their children against your will is just pure torture to some.
Omega Under The Moon is not quite so dark; I had thought of Lysk's similar realistic look on A/B/O dynamics but hadn't made quite the connection because this story is actually a nice read. I don't think I cried for this one (as the others will either make you sick or at least definitely cry).
Lysk continues their theme of rapey-matings in this book, but the difference is the omega, Cole. In the other series I've read by Lysk, the omegas usually had no desire to be mated, to have children, to be an omega, etc. When they are forced to do those things, it breaks them. This shifter society seems much more modern/liberal in that Cole is not forced to do anything. People are kind to him and accommodate his needs. In turn, Cole feels like he is in control much more than Lysk's other omegas. Cole gets to make the choices, there are options, there is no bottom line, Cole is free to say yes or no.
In the end, Cole is able to mentally wrap his around the suddenness of his first heat and how not only he but also Ari and T.J. were violated by it when they lost their senses and copulated. The trio has a strong bond and I was happy to see it end well for them. And there is definitely room for a sequel.
Writing was good but needed another sweep from an editor. Characterization was great and added to the story (loved how Cole's dyslexia added to his character instead of making him a weird token). Would recommend. -
It was okay
Three best friends named Cole, TJ, and Ari, go on a camping trip together and the first page is them literally doing a circle jerk, even though they’ve never done anything sexually with each other, apparently this is in the norm for them. Cole starts to feel odd and the next thing he knows, he’s being fucked by both of his best friends. Cole has turned into an omega. Omegas were made to have babies with Alphas. A lot of babies. Male omegas are rare but they still have the ability to carry children just like the female omegas. In fact male omegas are a lot more fertile than the females. This freaks Cole out because he’s going to have really intense heats until he gets pregnant and all Alphas are going to rush to the bit to be with him, because his omeganess is irresistible but his best friends offer to be his Alphas though! So yay for that! But Cole doesn’t think its yay and it creates way too much angst in my opinion. Cole admits to always having been attracted to TJ and Ari and it turns out they both have always felt the same for him. Yet he still makes a big deal over not wanting to ruin their lives and they can’t really want to be with him. Even though TJ and Ari repeat that they do want to be with him for real and its not just a friend doing another friend a favor but Cole never seems to listen to a word they say so its not until the very last chapter that it gets through Cole’s thick skull that TJ and Ari WANT TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM and the book ends with them having a threesome in a treehouse. Also, Cole sleeps an awful lot in this book and his constant exhaustion is never explained as a side effect of him turning into an omega or something else. So the book is just okay for me. It was an entertaining read, but glad it was on KU so that I didn’t spend any money on it. -
This is the first book I have read by this author and I was not disappointed. It was a very sensitive and enthralling storyline, but tastefully written, showing the real depth of friendship between the three men.
TJ, Ari and Cole have been friends forever. School is over and Cole is ready for his real life to start. His new apprenticeship as a mechanic promises enough money for him to get a flat close to his pack and he is looking forward to his freedom. First, he is going on a camping trip to the woods with TJ and Ari; it would be three nights to say goodbye to their childhood. Everything is going great until Cole starts feeling odd and then in a few hours his whole life is turned upside down. He is an Omega and he is in heat; not only that, he is alone with two Alphas; how could he have felt so helpless. An Omega cannot walk away from his fate, but Cole isn’t sure his friendship with TJ and Ari can survive what they have shared; he is not angry or sad, he just feels shocked and anxious, but there is no coming back from presenting. As a wolf, it is now even more obvious how completely he has changed, his scent like a marker of status with all its implications. Cole needs to talk to TJ and Ari, but he just doesn’t know how to. Now is the time for TJ and Ari to confess what they have been concealing; hidden feelings for Cole and the fact that they want Cole to choose them as his Alphas. Together they come up with a plan. Life is going to get a lot harder for Cole soon enough, but with TJ and Ari’s help, he is up for the challenge. A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion. -
Nach dem Klapptext hatte ich doch mehr erhofft.
Schade, aber ich habe abgebrochen.
Ähm … tja … Nö … Was soll ich sagen? Es war nicht so, wie ich erwartet hatte. Daher habe ich mich für einen Abbruch entschieden.
Bei 61% konnte ich mein Interesse echt nicht mehr daran festhalten.
Da war nichts, was einen für die drei Hauptcharaktere mitfiebern ließ. Teils war es auch etwas verwirrend, wie Cole zu seiner Sexualität stand. Mal ja, mal ist ok, dann wieder nein, weil – ich mag Frauen und dann wieder – ich mochte euch immer schon, habe mich aber nicht getraut.
Auch die anderen zwei waren nicht wirklich einschätzbar. Es wurde nicht klar, ob sie Cole gegenüber nun echte Zuneigung empfanden oder ob sie sich auf Grund der Geschehnisse nur verantwortlich fühlten.
Mein Fazit: Mir fehlten Gefühle und wirkliche Zuneigung, außerdem war es mir echt zu langatmig.
Schade, hatte mir echt mehr erhofft, denn ich mag Wandler Storys eigentlich sehr gern.
Vielleicht mögen es andere so, wie es ist. -
The story was narrated by Cole's view, How he went into heat and how he has dealt with new found Omega status, for the whole life he thought of himself as Alpha and the sudden heat changed his life forever. The first two chapter was on edge to read what would happened next.
But sorry the rest story after that was just has so much education on Omega's life. At some point it was interesting but after that it started to lack something. Not saying, it was unnecessary because it put some light on the Omega and Alpha's Connection, How They'd control their urges that was undeniable.
But not work for me, even though TJ and Ari were well written characters, Both helped their friend in need. Yet 2.5 Starts. :( -
This is my first book by N.J. Lysk but it won't be the last. Omega Under The Moon is M/M/M Alpha/Omega/Alpha story. This book had a great storyline and fun characters. Cole, Ari, and TJ each bring different strengths to their friendship and relationship. They have been childhood friends and best friends, and they have been conditioned to help and care for Cole by helping him get through school with his dyslexia. The book was a very hot read as they figured out whether Ari or TJ or both alphas are going to be cole's mate. I would love to see more of these characters and how they work through university, working, and pregnancy. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

Cole has been best friends with T.J. for a long time. As he comes into adulthood, he learns he is an Omega. He has good friends who want to help, he just has to let them in.
Ari & T.J. have finished high school with Cole. They all have plans to go in different directions. Is it time to talk about the attraction they have for one another?
This short jaunt into high heat starts out very quickly. These characters feel very real and I loved how honest they were about their feelings. Not just your typical shapeshifter novel, this one explores a whole new look at a love triangle.
***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review only. -
Three werewolf friends go camping, sounds funny doesn't it? Alphas Ari and Tj are spending some vacation time with their best friend Cole. Cole suddenly presents as an Omega and the two alphas can't control themselves when Cole goes into heat. They all have crazy sex, but luckily for Cole, he did not get knotted, so he missed getting pregnant. The story details all the studying and questioning the three friends go through, trying to make things easier for Cole. Can anything be more embarrassing than talking to your Alpha mom about being an Omega with two potential mates and no clue how to be an Omega?

Three werewolves who have been friends since childhood decide to go camping. They are young men who are beginning to experience their sexuality. One is an omega and the other two are alphas. The omega is experiencing his first heat. The book assumes you are familiar with the general werewolf concepts like alpha, beta and omega. The book deals with various teen emotions and coming of age situations. Well written and interesting. I received an arc copy and voluntarily chose to review it.
-
WOW, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was my first Omega read and my first from NJ Lysk. I couldn't put it down, the plot was good, with lots of chemistry and steamy scenes. All I could ask for is an epilogue or better still a second book, I really want to follow these boys story further.
This was a story of development, maturing and change, in the life of teenage werewolf young men. A male omega is a rarity and when Cole presents as an Omega while out camping with his best friends they all have alot to understand and decisions to make.
Give this book a chance. -
I really did like this book, it was just that the story line seemed to drag on. After Cole goes into heat, when he and his two best friends are out in the woods, it is then he figures out he is truly an omega and his friends are alphas. As both his friends take care of his 'needs' during his uncontrollable lust, he comes around afterward and has a hard time dealing. Most of the book is about getting information on male omegas and if their friendship will survive.
-
I voluntarily reviewed an advance readers copy of this book.. I love these m/m/m books, and the plot focuses on Cole, TJ, and Ari. Cole is an Omega, so he's going through many changes and trying to discover what being an Omega is all about. He also doesn't want to be without his two friends who he truly cares about. The story is well written with a reasonable pace, and great characterization. I was pulled into the story and remained pretty enthralled throughout. :)

Long Road Ahead
TJ, Ari, and Cole best friends for years. Each holding something back from each other. Cole, poor Cole out for a typical day of "play" with buddies when his world shifts forever. Without meaning to all three are now connected for life. Can they push through the bumps in the road? Can Cole accept his new life? This book is intense, emotional, and will keep you pushing to find out how it pulls together. I really enjoyed reading this book. -
Polyamorous friends to lovers...enough said
This story was so real. 3 best friends are thrown into a situation where things happen which are beyond their control. The journey through their new reality is rough on all of them but they persevere. In the end, they do decide what their lives will look like together and embrace their new relationship.
This story is extremely well written and is well worth the read. -
Captivating story
What happens when three best friends go on a camping trip, and one presents as an Omega? And what happens when the three realize their feelings for one another exceed that of friendship? What happens is a sweet, captivating story with lots of hot sex and a HEA.
I loved the characters and their special bond with each other. I was disappointed when the story ended and wish it had been longer.
