But Shane knows being a beta is only temporary and he will catch up with Tim again. In fact, he’s pretty sure it won’t be long before he presents himself…
But the itching Shane can feel under his skin announces a very different kind of transformation, one that means his relationship with his brother will never be the same again.
Can their unique bond survive the effects of the full moon? And can they find a way to live their lives together when it’s forever?
A/B/O, accidental sex and mating, mpreg, angst.
His, Truly Reviews
-
I simply loved reading the love story between Shane and Timothy. 🥰 This is my very first time reading
N.J. Lysk and what a way to discover a new author. 😌 I admit that I picked up this book mainly because of the taboo factor. Everyone who knows me know that I am all about keeping it in the family. 😁 But I think I got so much more than a simple, taboo erotica. 🙂
I liked that there were struggles between the twin despite the “wham bam thank you ma’am” scene in the very beginning. Tim was already in love with Shane but Shane only loved him like a brother. So there were the issues they have to go through but they made it. I also liked the emotional and romantic development between the two of them. I wish I get both POV though instead of only Shane’s but I appreciate the glimpses of Tim’s inner turmoils. Sweet, sexy and utterly adorable. 🥰🔥 I’ll definitely pick up another book of Lysk. 😉

Umm this was different.
Shane presents as an omega and Timothy (his twin) immediately fucks and impregnates him😳All in the first couple pages of the book. They both blame it on biology and said they weren’t in control of their instincts shit like that. They go to a doctor and since they mated Shane can’t get rid of the babies. I was skimming so I forgot the logistics of why he can’t abort his babies but I was something like he’ll just keep having more. The parents are ok with it but but not at the same time?? I really don’t know but they go to this cabin I the mountains for the duration of the pregnancy. We learn that Tim has been in love with Shane forever but Shane doesn’t feel anything back. I really don’t like this in my books so that’s why I gave it a low rating. Tim longs for Shane and Shane feels nothing but he’s willing to have sex with Tim and be in relationship with him if it make him happy, I think? I do know that he has sex with him when he wasn’t totally in to him. Eventually he falls for him?? They have the babies (which don’t have any problems) then move in with their grandparents. And I think Shane finally falls in love with Tim. Umm this was really bad, I don’t remember anything because I was skipping so much. I’m not even sure why I gave it 3 stars but 2 feels harsh and overall it was just okay and obviously not worth remembrance -
Way better than 3 but not quite 4 stars...but I stopped rounding up for 2019 (damnit).
I originally picked this book because of the taboo aspect (my favorite of them ALL, Twincest), but ended up with lots of thoughts. Again, I don't know why I didn't know better because in some way all of Lysk's books have done that to me. They have had a social more or expectation that's upended, at the expense of someone's life (usually the Omega), and each of the stories have explored what it means to be pigeon-holed or go against the grain. Or, examined how that change/difference upsets plans, and changes how a person sees themselves. And they don't pull any punches...the resentment, hatred, fear, disgust, resignation, etc. each of the disappointed MCs feel is allowed on page. (Especially prevalent in the first couple of books of the Author's
Stars of the Pack series.) I LOVE when a book does that.
(For instance: There's open discussion of .)
*sigh* I really wish GR would give us 1/2 stars. Although, in this case it was closer to 3.75 Stars. -

I am not going to lie...
My pervy ass read the blurb and dove in head first... and I kinda loved it.... in fact I’m going to look into similar books.
Now incase you didn’t read the blurb... brace yourself... Shane and Tim (our MCs) are.... TWINS!!!
Omg you guys seriously I have hardcore issues...
And I’m most consented on how I didn’t know this was a thing...
Anyways, incest is wrong on so many levels but in a paranormal read/setting it truly didn’t turn out to horrible.
I did have some issues. This author is a fellow lover of the ellipsis... which I could totally dig, except I seemed to get lost in the moment sometimes. One minute I thought we were still at this place and time and the next... we were somewhere else. Also for a majority of the book Shane is bitching about how this is different for him because he hasn’t been in love with Tim his whole life like Tim has with him (whole life is maybe an exaggeration on my end...) but we never really got that feel from Tim no matter how many times Shane said it until maybe the last 2 chapters... if that. We also didn’t really get a lot of background which I would have enjoyed, it would have added what? Maybe an extra 20 pages. Alls we got was that their pack was the last pack in Scotland and they hid them true selves from the humans. If you’re even going to mention it I would at least prefer more.
I also truly wish we got Tim’s POV, since he’s supposedly the one that’s had a thing g for Shane even before the “incident” -
I’m still new to shifting books. I’m learning!
I think this was a good book to start off slow in. -
Loved it!
I loved His, Truly by N.J. Lysk. This is a standalone book. I loved the storyline and the characters. I also loved the tabooness of the story. Tim and Shane are twins. Tim presented as an alpha and both Tim and Shane believe that Shane will also present as an alpha soon. But the Moon has a different plan and during the full moon run with the pack, Shane presents as an omega and goes into heat. To protect his twin from being bred by all of the unmated alphas of the pack, Tim holds off the rest of the alphas by claiming Shane himself. Then his alpha instincts overwhelmed him and he ends up breeding and mating his twin. Shane wakes up the next morning as an omega, bred, pregnant, and mated forever to his twin brother. To say he was in shock would be an understatement. Then he has to come to peace with what has happened and figure out how he wants his and his mate's life to go in the future. Do they stay with their current pack and continue to live under the rule of their parents? Or start out on their own and try to find a pack where they aren't judged for being twins and mates. I liked how they were able to work out their problems and feelings and where they finally ended up living. I thought it was a wonderful story and I would recommend it to anyone that likes to read taboo paranormal mpreg romances. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. -
Interesting take on a Mpreg shifter taboo. Entertaining enough but as I don't regularly read werewolf or shifter books, I didn't follow along with some of the themes and got a little lost at times.

DNF@42% automatically 3 stars
Writing style not for me. Jarring stops & starts in dialogue, stilted & awkward half-finished sentences. Like I blinked & missed a portion on a ticker tape but had to keep reading forward, surmising the missing information. Rapid storytelling with no inner monologue, which left the necessary unexplained in the world building. Surface-level emotions that left me feeling nothing for the characters.
The author & I are not a good fit, writing style vs reading style. -
Twincest with some angst.
A short story set in a werewolf alpha/beta/omega universe. Identical twin werewolves, Tim who became an alpha and Shane who expected to follow but turned omega instead. Unbeknownst to Shane, Tim has bee in love with him for a very long time. During a full moon where the wolf spirit takes over almost completely, Shane transitions into an omega for the first time and Tim protects him from the other alphas....and accidentally mates with him. This happens in the prologue, so the rest of the book is how they both deal with it. The whole book is Shane’s point of view, which is a little irritating because it would have been nice to be in Tim’s thoughts too. Some reviews said it was dub-con when it was not. Everything was consensual. Some said Shane was a d bag the whole book. And while he was short tempered and snappish, he wasn’t PURPOSEFULLY mean. And if he said something that hurt Tim he felt bad and tried to rectify it. Some say everyone just excepted the brothers together too easily, well yeah, they really had no choice. In this universe matings are for life. Over all it was a good story. I marked it so low because I could not handle the way the author wrote. I know if real like people don’t always have the right things to say so they stutter or stop mid sentence to find the right words. The sentences just stoped ALL THE TIME! In the beginning it was annoying, by 80% of the book I just wanted to scream “FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT HOLY, FINISH A FREAKING SENTENCE!!” It made it very hard to stay in the book and I almost did not finish. If you can handle most thoughts not finish and stuttering when talking almost all throughout the book, then I would recommend this story. -
**2.5 stars**
My first reading this trope. Knowing its fiction, I delved in and marched on. I seldom read novellas precisely because of what I read here. The book started at the climax of the story. There was no beginning! Although we are told many time just how close Shane and Timothy are, it would have made the story more believable and personal if we were allowed a glimse of their lives growing up. The story itself is pretty good. It was harder for Shane to deal with the new reality than it was for Tim. The author put a bit too much emphasis on Shane declaring he didn't love his brother "like that" a bit more often than needed. The shift from being mad at the situation to accepting it and enjoying it gave me a bit of a whiplash. I adored Tim, however. He really put up with a lot of shit from Shane. Then the ending cut off. Although we got an epilogue, it really wasn't one. It could have just been a continuation of the story not too far from where the couple ended. I would have liked to see a bit more into the future. More of a connection with each other.
There is no dub or non con. Just wolves being wolves. The wolves consented lol. The humans were a bit pissed.
To summarize:
Beginning: 0
Middle: 4
Shane being a dick: 1
Ending: 2 -
1/5
So we are going to completely ignore the issue? No? Ok.
See, I can get behind mm incest because
Aside for the said elephant in the room, this book remind me a lot of her other series with the dub-con. In a way it got a premise that I personally enjoy (a presummaly Alpha turned out to be an Omega) but her execution just doesn't work for me.
At least this time the Alpha of the relationship is genuie, but I couldn't help but feel like the Omega is just a dick. I understand his reaction in the beginning, but as the story I just felt less sympathy for him. Not to mention -
Timothy and Shane are identical twins. A few months ago Tim presented as an alpha and Shane can't wait to follow and do the same. When the signs point that this full moon will be when he finally presents he's excited, but it doesn't turn out the way he expected. Instead while on the pack's full moon run he presents as an omega. His brother Tim protects him from the other alphas in the pack by mating with Shane himself, except he goes to far and bites him sealing their mating. This changes everything in their relationship.
I purchased this book months ago, but whenever I tried to start it I couldn't get past the first chapter. This time I was determined to finish it and get it in my 'read' pile. There are a lot of misunderstandings between them and how they really feel about each other. In the end it was a pretty good book. -
Wow this book was an interesting read.
Shane and Timothy are identical twin brothers. Tim was presented as alpha Wolf, and unfortunately shane a beta desperately
Trying to keep up with his twin brother.
When the full moon appears.
Both there destiny changed.
I was so into this story.
I wanted to no how the two would end up.
Shane and Timothy have allot to adjust
To there realtionship.
This book made me feel sad at points.
And good the next.
There sum juicy scenes I liked also.
I liked the fact that through everything they went threw they were able to not hate each other at the end.
Love is love at the end.
This book was well written.
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy and my opinion are my own. thanks -
This is an author I've been meaning to read but never ended up reading. It took me by surprise when I dived in to it, and I was pleasantly surprised as I came up on the other side.
A mistake or fate, either way it hurls Shane and Tim together and I loved how things didn't magically fix itself. It took so much work. And in a world where an Omega is only suppose to bear children, Shane wants to be more and Tim wants to give him everything.
Tim was the sweetest and Shane so brave in a terrifying situation. I loved every confusing and difficult moment with them. -
I really liked this one! I’m usually not that fond of twins, not sure why, but
I really liked Tim and Shane. It was an interesting read for sure! I actually liked the fact that once Shane conceived he was a female in wolf form, which was a perfect way for the babies to be born. I loved the plot and all the characters, really my only complaint was the length. I really wished it was longer, so maybe a sequel? -
Man this was so good!
I love a good dark read and this one was plus so much more. With a wickedly delicious blend of taboo and paranormal yet a sweet romantic undercurrent, it's a readers dream. What's internal struggle can be felt as he comes to terms with the changes in his life. And the ending made me cry happy tears. What an amazing journey. -
I wanted to like this better than I did
I didn’t like that Shane had no idea that he would present as an omega, and then had no choice but to accept what was essentially rape, since he was in absolutely no condition to consent.
And what is up with the explanation of how multiple births happen in shifters? Does an egg get released with every knot? -
DNF @50%
I... tried. I made it to 50%, Go me!
This is.... excruciatingly boring. It is 50% of the main characters having an existencial crisis. It is whining over and over again about The Moon, about the incest, about the sex, about the babies, about hugs, about mating, about everything. So boring oh my fucking God. -
His only
A great read of how the moon can pull your wolf to your true mate even when it's your very twin. But will it break one twins mind or will he come to see the love that has always been in front of him. -
Good premise
It was written very stilted and kinda jumbled. It didn't make a whole lot of sense in places and the author didn't clarify who was talking when, so it could get confusing. -
Not my jam, I guess. It's not badly written though.
-
Must read
This was my first twincest. I loved Shane and Tim. I really liked this book and read it straight through. -
