Oxford Heat by Hannah Haze

Avoid Trouble. Trouble like Noah Wood.

Cora hates Alphas — they’re arrogant, obnoxious and, in her experience, dangerous. She’s worked hard to leave her troubled past behind her and make it to university where she’s steering clear of them, even if her body makes her weak and needy for one — and one in particular. After all, Noah may look good, but he’s everything she despises.

Noah is a player, both on and off the pitch, with a place on the university’s rugby team and a phone full of women’s numbers. But it’s the stuck-up little Omega, Cora, who has caught his eye. Too bad she wants nothing to do with him and his propensity for trouble.

That is until he finds her alone and about to start a heat…

If you’re looking for the sauciness of omegaverse with the sweetness of contemporary romance, you’ll love this enemies-to-lovers sweet omegaverse set in our world. This is a standalone novel with happy ending, using British English spelling and usage.

My Review

This book begins at Christmas time. Cora is an Omega but she is determined to be more than her classification and she likes to outsmart her body timing her most vulnerable moments to when she is alone on campus. The library is her nest to study and be alone during this time.

Alpha Noah Wood is an enigma at the beginning of this book he is there but we don’t get a feel for him other than a little stalker-like. However, then the story jumps backward a year before the encounter at the front of the book.

A quick blast to the past shows us some of the enemies-to-lovers aspects of it. Oh, this book gets steamy right away as we are dropped into a heat. I find it interesting how the author made the this incredibly steamy and animalistic and yet they are still human. I also find it interesting that Noah is the one with the crush and not Cora in this story.

This book seems to be less storyline and more sizzling intimacy and is somewhat descriptive but then the storyline picks up and things get complicated for them each interaction has made them fewer enemies and more lovers but at least one of them doesn’t realize it right away. I love how interconnected the story is to their age and education levels.

This book ends wonderfully with a happy-for-now ending. The college romance made it thru the end of University I’m impressed. This book went as well as another I have read by this author but it is steamy, sweet, and somewhat swoony. I did enjoy the way the author presents the Omegaverse and heats in the book. However I wish there was more info on certain aspects of her omegaverse like the glands, the timeline for the heats, and the Alpha and Omega relationships.
