Going to be honest, I resisted the lure of omegaverse for so long, it just sounded weird to me. Yeah well I am EATING those words, and it's because of books like this, that I am becoming a huge fan. There is a depth to the characters that just get you so into the story, and you can empathize with them. The world building is great, and I really enjoyed the over all character development. The characters are so full of life, and enjoyable to read.

I'm new to omegavers and damn this one rocked!! It took hold of me from page one and kept me until the last page! Miles, Levi fox and Thane are the perfect alphas!! They complement eachother well! And Riley completes them! This story was so good and I'm kinda obsessed!! You won't be sorry once you pick this up!!

Loving this new Omegaverse!!
The teaser for this book really intrigued me because it was different from other Omegaverse books I’ve read. The FMC Riley is an omega who determined she doesn’t need or want a pack. This leaves her isolated and hiding who she really is from the world. The Woods pack is made up of four very different alpha men: Miles, Fox, Levi and Thane. I absolutely loved the dynamics and family unit between the guys. Miles was everything, the perfect alpha and just what Riley needed. Fox was the fun, athletic alpha who was instantly drawn to Riley . We didn’t get much relationship development with Levi and Riley. He was more reserved and a great support for his alpha brothers. Thane is the head alpha and was determined they didn’t need an omega. Once we find out his reasons behind not wanting to bond it’s understandable. This book isn’t high on the spice but has a great plot that makes it a page turner. Its multiple POV and I love that we got an epilogue but Im greedy and I want more. This was a fantastic start to Lawson’s new Omegaverse series and I will definitely be reading book 2!!

I was mixing this book with another one until I read through my notes here and struggled with this one. I was reading very similar books back to back, so some blurred them together. Anyway, this one went a little too medical content for me, and I wish we got to focus on some of the pack members a little more.

Ok this was the perfect book to get me back to the omegaverse world! I have been looking for the book and once I saw this baby pop up to arc read I couldn’t deny my love for the blurb.
This book was absolutely amazing with the perfect beginning to end. The Alphas were just what you wanted in the pack for our beautiful Omega and I love it’s a why choose because I could not pick a favorite
