Publisher's summary

She's safe as long as she's hidden.

Lydia Anderson is an unbonded omega who left her life behind to escape a family more interested in their status than protecting their daughter from an alpha who won't take no for an answer. It took everything, but Lydia managed to break free, running as far as she could. Now she lives with her head down, avoiding attention.

Her past is still on the hunt. And she can't get caught again.

Pack Saint Clair is everything Lydia has been taught to want. They're rich, influential, and beautiful. A chance encounter sets her on a collision course with the three alphas and their beta, and instincts long ignored flare to life, setting fire to all of their carefully laid defenses. But Lydia knows that if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Pack Saint Clair has a secret, one that could destroy everything they've worked to create. And that skeleton in their closet has set its sights on Lydia.

When the past comes to call, can the pack keep their omega safe?

Lilacs and Leather is the first book in the Pack Saint Clair series, which will feature MM, MMF, FF, and poly relationships. This story touches on subjects that may be triggering to some listeners, including descriptions of past abuse (see content warning for more details). While there will be bumps in the road, this series will end with an HEA.

One of my favorites!

I absolutely loved this book. So much so, I plan on owning it in audio, ebook, and physical copy! Can’t wait for book 2 on audio and book 3 will be released soon!

omegaverse

This story is so different from what I normally read. An omegaverse story that very interesting. This kept my interest with all the different
components going on.. The characters and their relationship is developed with understanding, kindness. It's Sexy steamy, danger with a mindblowing cliffy. There are trigger warnings to pay attention to.
Matt Haynes and Maeve York narration is very good.

Lilacs and Leather

This is the first book in Pack Saint Clair series. What just happened? Why did it end? I was not prepared for that ending. This is an amazing Omegaverse book. Lydia Is a feisty omega. She is on the run from her ex. She was scared of Alphas when she met Rhett. He quickly changed her mind. Lydia was from a bee conventional pack. They believe an Alpha can do whatever he wants to his Omega. When she got to know Rhett and Mateo they showed her a new outlook on relationships and how to love. This book may contain triggers for some. This book ends on one heck of a cliffhanger. I need book 2 immediately. Maeve York and Matt Haynes did a phenomenal job narrating this book.

Loved It !!!

I adored this book and am so looking forward to the rest of the series ...This puts everything you have thought about Omegas and pack dynamics on a new axis...

I Fricken Love this story!!!💕💕💕💕💕

This series is going in my favorites folder!!
💕💕💕💕 BRAVO to all that were involved.💕💕💕💕

A contemporary omegaverse

I've read several omegaverse stories prior to this one, and I have found that they are typically more of a dystopian universe. Where omega females are treated very much like possessions and the stories tend to be much more salacious. I honestly think I prefer the more devious and fantastical universes. However there was enough fire to keep me interested in the book, though I felt it dragged at times. I didn't realize this was a series with a cliffhanger otherwise I may have held off till more of the books were released. I will buy the next book when it's released though.

Interesting take

This is an interesting take on the ABO world. It does end on a cliffhanger but it has an intriguing storyline that keeps you hooked and the narration is done very well with this great cast of characters.

Great story. Even better narrators.

Great books. Story line is great. Heavy on the spice too but the best part is Matt Haynes. He was able to add life to all the male characters. At first I wasn’t sure I was going to download the books because Maeve Yorks voice seemed too “old” of the character’s description but I did and I’m glad

Sweet

Lilacs and Leather combine everything I adore about contemporary Omegaverse, along with unexpected elements that I didn't realize I craved.

It intertwines these aspects with incredibly passionate and enticing intimate scenes, making it one of the most captivating reads in recent memory.

However, what truly captivated me the most was the tender and beautiful love story at its core, that stays with you days later.

XOXO Lottie.

Love the story

I read this book when it first came out and loved it then, but then sat on the series for a while because I knew I would need to reread the first book to start the rest. Thankfully the audiobook was available since rereading in a new format makes a reread more interesting.

Overall the audiobook was good, but I struggled a bit with the male narrator. His slow drawl was rather irritating, and sometimes I swear he sounded high. I wish he had just spoken a little more normally.

The female narrator was decent, though I feel like her voice just wasn’t what I pictured for the heroine.

I am excited for the next book to finally find out what happens! Though I am anxious too, because it just can’t be good.
