From making fun about his twin reading werewolf smut to becoming the love interest in the werewolf romance novel himself, Brad is sure that it is just a trauma response of his brain after getting into a car accident and that he's actually in a coma. Because there's no way that he's an Omega, right? Raul, the Alpha, is rather sure that Brad is one though and, more importantly, is also his mate. While Brad comes to terms that he is indeed the stand-in for the main character of the novel, he realises a few things about himself: maybe he is into men, maybe he is an Omega as well.

Bro and the Beast is a short and fast-paced paranormal romance with an omegaverse setting. It deals with the trope of "What happens if you fall into a book and become the main character?" and it's fun to read. Of course, it won't win any literary awards but it's rather lighthearted and easy to read. There are a few plot holes (e.g., the setting is the 80s, so there aren't any cell phones but Raul's car has a GPS navi) but it's ok. Partly, the book feels like it is making fun of itself, frad boys and the omegaverse (or it's just Brad's personality). 

There is a sex scene at the end (3 🌶️) and suggested mpreg. Likely the mpreg is going to happen in the following books (which I might read if I'm in such pain again that I can't focus on my other books).
