When they catch their little hacker, they’ll make all her dreams come true.
And maybe some nightmares, too…


Lark.
A mischievous and appropriate name that I picked for the Dark Net.
I thought I was clever. Daring, even.
But somehow they found me.
And now they’re hunting me.

I thought they wanted their money back.
But no.
It turns out, they simply want me.

Johan is the cunning one—the fellow hacker who identified my real identity and the location of my nest.
Noah is the psychotic one. Yet he’s nurturing and caring when it comes to me.
And Laz is the one in charge of the pack. His word is law, and his claim is just as impactful.

The problem is, they’re not the only ones I’ve pissed off.
With a horde of enemies on my doorstep, I have no choice but to run.

Don’t worry, little hacker.
We love a good hunt.
So run fast and hard.
We’ll be right behind you…

Author’s Lark is a standalone story featuring a feisty hacker and three possessive men who will stop at nothing to track her down, protect her, and worship her.

The inconsistency in this book was astounding.
Wft was up with the knot situation 🤢
Why did Lark leave her best friends behind for a pack?? Not very best friend of her!!!
And the very non con situations between male packmates? Did they even like each other or was it just convenient?!
Also there was no heat in this book - which in my opinion is a key part of an omegaverse book.


I LOVED Lexi and Silva but Lark…. A let down.
Very disappointed as I wanted to love this book so much.

Lexi Foss has written her first contemporary omegaverse, and I was there for it. I already enjoy Lexi's paranormal OV, so it wasn't hard to guess that I would enjoy this one too. It's an organized crime omegaverse, so she had me from the start.


Lark was awesome. Not only is she sassy and brave, but she's a hacker too. A good one. Good enough to steal from the mafia and use her liberated gains to create a sanctuary for omegas. Robin Hood style. The pack that hunts her down is powerful, brutal, and obsessed. Exactly how I like them. My favorite character, hands down, is Noah. He's exactly my type, a murder puppy who is good with his hands. Noah is an assassin who gives off golden retriever vibes, and I loved him.


The organized crime genre is always an interesting subject. Between the rival families, the action, and the dark edge, I was hooked. The story was good, even-level, but with a lot of spice. I would have liked it if more of the story took place in Widows Peak, so I could get a better feel for the sanctuary, but other than that, no complaints. This is a good OV if you want a grayish edge and just a smidgen of angst. Lexi combined a few of my favorite tropes: hackers, captivity, found family, and strong female characters. Lark was a fantastic read. Great if you enjoy slightly grey omegaverses.

✨𝒜𝑅𝒞 𝑅𝑒𝓋𝒾𝑒𝓌 ✨
📖: Lark (Beware Of The Widows)

Lark used her hacking skills to secure funds for Willow’s Peak by skimming from a powerful mafia family. Now, they’ve come to collect. But little does she know, they don’t want their money–they want her.

Tropes:
💻Hacker FMC
💰Billionaire MMCs
🫂Forced Proximity
💞Why choose omegaverse
🚫Touch her & 💀
🪢Knotting
💸Mafia vibes

After Lark escaped with the other women who founded Widow’s Peak, she kept her true identity hidden. Johan, the sweet hacker, Noah the unhinged enforcer, and Lazarus the mafia don (and consent king) have uncovered her identity and role in their missing funds years ago. But none were ready to learn they are scent matches.

They ache to claim her—but only on her own terms. These males are possessive and worshipful but Lark isn’t sure how to process her circumstances. I loved watching this pack’s journey as they explored control and surrender and forge a relationship where trust is earned, power is given freely, and love is reverent.

Huge thanks to the author for the review copy. This is my honest and voluntary review.

I absolutely loved this story with Lark who's a strong and independent woman who's been through a lot. And just when she thinks everythings going ok she's thrown back into the Mafia world with not one but three scent matches. First with Noah who literally proposes to her at first sight and is such a Hoot to read. And abit unhinged but that's what makes him so funny. Johan savy with his tech and the reason they found lark. But he's definitely the most gentle of the two and such a sweetheart and then there's Lazarus the head of the pack and there Dom. And You don't want to defy him unless your a certain Omega who definitely will and he'll love every minute of it. There's a lot of MM when it comes to sharing which will get supper hot especially with Lark who'll learn her limits and become a member of the pack. But she'll love every minute of it and they'll become so mush stronger together. I loved that this story was a lighter read than most. Even though it's in the Mafia world there's no mention of torture, maybe a little violence but Noah makes it lighthearted and there's always a swoon worthy ending which will make you smile and love them right till the end.

The book was really good I feel like this one is my fav out of the series so far. I need more of this pack😩 Noah is a fav, but the whole pack is lethal. Lark gave in fairly easy but who could blame her😁.🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

Mafia...hacker....OmegaVerse....shut up and let me read already! Ok, so for stupid reasons I decided to start this when I went to bed. Y'all, I'm too old to get less than 4 hours of sleep and then work a full day the next day. 🤦🏻‍♀️

The whole premises of the Widows is very intriguing, this is the one in a 6 book series, each written by a different author, and is so well written, I want to read the other 5 book too! Lark is an Omega, who's also a Mafia princess, who was accidently kidnapped with a group of other Omega's, accidently, because she wasn't one of the intended targets but she refused to let them go without her. She's also a hacker, a really really good one. She uses her skills to skim money from a rival mafia family and uses that to purchase a ghost town so that the omegas can have a place to escape too. Which they do eventually do.

Enter our Alpha's - Johan, the sweet one who is also a hacker, Noah who is a psychopath except to his pack and his Omega and Lazarus pack leader and Mafia Don who seems to have an icy control, but does he really? When Johan finally finds out who stole their money, all 3 are immediately smitten and come up with a plan to kidnap Lark. Poor girl, kidnapped twice. What they didnt know, is that Lark is their scent match, which is just the icing on the cake because they were gonna mate her either way. But it took a couple of years for their plan to take fruition and they all decided they would have no other female until they got her, so yeah, there's some MM scenes in here. Kinda violent MM scenes. I'm not usually big on MM, I'm more of a place all the attention on our FMC kinda reader but it was written so well that I actually kinda enjoyed it.

There's a lot of emotions in this book, some that you wouldnt expect, but it all makes for such a good read. I think, no I know, Noah was my favorite. Any time there's a big bad MMC who everyone fears but hes a total marshmallow for our FMC, its just extra delicious. Though Johan was a very close second with all his sweetness. Not saying that Laz is bad or anything, cause he was really, really good at who he was and how he treated Lark but the other two just had a little something extra. Forget it, can I just have 1 of each please? (Dont tell me husband 🤫 😂😂)

I loved the previous two books in the series and usually love LCF, so I’m disappointed that this book didn’t work for me. Something about the dynamics felt way off for an Omegaverse book…

There was too much competition better the guys, which meant they didn’t feel like a cohesive group;

Lark was weirdly uncomfortable with things most Omegas do naturally and had to be coaxed into everything;

The lack of trust that still existed between them pretty much until the end of the book was infuriating;

Noah was delightful, Johan was pretty cool, and Lazarus was incredibly unlikable;

I hated that they left her alone twice without telling her what was going on and intentionally left her out of pack meetings… none of that goes along with how packs should act and contradicts their claims of being in love with her;

Where was the heat?? Why did we end the book right before her heat started? Also, why did she have to build her own nest that barely counted as a nest?

I might be on my own with this one, but I hated how much we got hit over the head about consent in this story. The characters obsessed over it to the point of it being completely ridiculous and pulling me out of the story because it disrupted what should have been a natural flow of events.

There was literally no plot in this book. What could have been a plot (the storyline with the hit on Johan) felt insignificant because it was only told. If we’d been given a chapter from one of the guys’ POV as it happened, that would have been so much better.

I also really disliked that we were out of Widows Peak for the whole book. I missed the other characters, and it further made this book feel disconnected from the other books in the series.

So after all that… I think 3 stars might be generous…

There were some intriguing elements to this story - the characters were the best bit with their sheer obsession with Lark and the lengths they would go to to ensure she became theirs 😍
Lark (Aurora) was kidnapped at 18 and trafficked/groomed to become an omega doll essentially but escaped with other omegas to create their own safe haven 😃 as a hacker she has incredible skills but it also means she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty - and that past is coming back for her whether she likes it or not 😅 despite what she’s been through she’s definitely got a feisty side and will go nose to nose with all three of her alphas! Laz is the leader of their ragtag bunch and exudes dominance but it’s always been her for him since he realised what a queen she is and could be for him 😍 Johan is the sweetest of the trio and through their shared love of tech form a true connection that blossoms 🥰 and then there’s Noah - rather intense and psychotic with his touch her and 💀 side 🥹
There’s some plot line but the focus is entirely on their connection and the building of this - well actually the applause already have a connection (plenty of mm scenes for you) but you realise it’s very much centred around their omega now they have her and realise she’s their scent match! There are some elements missing such as a heat scene and there’s very little mafia bits to it, it overall a good read.

Lexi did it again…

I went into Lark by with high expectations, and somehow, it still exceeded every single one of them.

From the very beginning, the story pulls you in with an intensity that refuses to let go. The pacing is absolutely perfect—never rushed, never dragging—and every chapter reveals just enough to keep you completely invested. I found myself saying “just one more chapter” far too many times… and losing sleep because of it.

What truly sets Lark apart is the emotional depth. The characters feel raw, complex, and real, each carrying their own weight and evolution throughout the story. The chemistry is electric, the tension is palpable, and the stakes feel incredibly high the entire time. Lexi has a way of making you feel everything right alongside her characters—and I definitely did.

The world-building is immersive without being overwhelming, woven seamlessly into the narrative so that you’re not just reading the story—you’re living it. And just when I thought I had things figured out, the twists hit and completely unraveled my expectations in the best possible way.

This book is intense, emotional, addictive, and unforgettable. It left me with a full heart, a racing mind, and a serious book hangover.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An absolute must-read—I’d recommend it to anyone who loves powerful storytelling, deep emotional connections, and a plot that keeps you hooked until the very last page.

Dark, addictive, and unapologetically possessive, Lark is a seductive dive into the morally gray side of romance that will leave your pulse racing.

From the moment Lark is captured, the story tightens its grip and refuses to let go.

Johan, Noah, and Lazarus aren’t your typical love interests they’re dangerous, domineering, and deliciously complex. Each man brings a distinct edge to the dynamic: cunning intelligence, unsettling unpredictability, and commanding authority. They take. They claim. They reshape the world until it fits their desires.

Lark herself is no weak heroine. Her defiance, wit, and vulnerability make her a compelling center in a story that thrives on tension and control. Watching her navigate fear, fascination, and forbidden attraction is where the book truly shines.

The romance is dark, very dark, with strong mafia themes, possessiveness, and psychological intensity that won’t be for everyone. But for readers who crave high-stakes emotion, morally questionable heroes, and a heroine caught between resistance and temptation, this book delivers in full.

Sinful, intense, and dangerously captivating, Lark is a must-read for dark romance lovers who like their stories with sharp edges and wicked promises. This wasn’t just love. This was instinct wrapped in obsession, messy, consuming, and impossible to look away from.

This is the third book in the
Beware of the Widows shared world.
What I always enjoy about these stories are the character overlapping throughout the series so with every additional book you are getting what feels like added bonus scenes.

Compared to the first two books this was definitely more lighter on the subject lines but more spicey with very detailed group play scene descriptions that this author does so well.

I appreciated how the author showcased that because of the unmanageable trama experienced by the omega and no matter how deadset she was against not being packed that once lady destiny has played her hand and blessed her with her scent-matches she finally gets her happily ever after.

But getting their is no walk in the park for them. Think stalker,possessive ruthless alphas with mafia mantality. A whole chebang of kinks and preferences from all three very different alphas who all have one mutual goal of completing their pack, cherishing and protecting their Omega at all costs

Such a good time! This is a complete standalone in the Beware of the Widows series, with various authors, and can be read on its own. This was the first I’ve picked up of the series, but I will definitely be picking up the rest! In the series, we follow a group of Omegas, who have escaped human trafficking and now reside in Widows Peak. In this story, we follow Lark, the hacker and mastermind of the town Widows Peak. Unfortunately, or not, her past life and actions are catching up with her. She finds herself kidnapped and taken back into the mafia world by a rival family, and it just so happens, they are also her scent matches. They have spent years tracking her down and now they are going to make her their mafia queen. But, Lark has never wanted to be a kept, mafia queen. These four have a lot to work through. This one kept me turning the pages, desperate to find out what happened next. The guys were completely unhinged! I loved it! Can’t wait to continue the series!

Thank you Lexi C. Foss for the ARC!

4.75 spicy spicy stars! I will start by saying I'm a long time huge fan of Lexi C. Foss. This is very much in line with her PNR omegaverse books, also bringing in her brilliance at why choose romance, but this time in the contemporary space. Add a touch (or douse) of mafia, and you have a fantastic addition to the Beware of the Widows universe.

Will try my best to make this as spoiler free as possible. Suffice to say, Lark (aka Aurora) is a big reason that the Widows have their town of Widows Peak to call home. And the driving force of that reason is one that one else is aware of, except for Laz, Noah, and Johan. And they want their own form of revenge, in a manner of speaking. Essentially having st@lked her for years, the three Alphas finally strike, determined to make Lark/Aurora their Omega. But Lark is skeptical, to say the least, and these three very different alphas all have their ways of showing Lark that they're serious when they say that she is theirs.....and they are hers. Oh, and they belong to each other too. The MMM part of the MMMF definitely is front and center quite a bit, and I loved every second of their interactions (in and out of the bedr00m).

This is a fantastic story with a strong female character who is also vulnerable, and definitely falls within the omegaverse hierarchy. But it's also 3 strong alphas who are soft in their own ways for their intended omega, and will destroy anyone or anything that dares to hurt her or come between them. Loved the way it all played out, and the ending was extremely satisfying in every way.

It's the way I was giggling and kicking my feet reading this. And I'm not even sure this is the kind of book where one should even be doing that. But Noah was just hilarious. Unhinged, but hilarious.

I've been on a mafia romance kick recently, so this book came at the perfect time. It's a little lighter than some of the others that I've read, but that's not a bad thing, and I kind of enjoyed that aspect since most mafia romances are dark or extremely dark.

I loved how the three alphas were so obsessed with Lark and were impressed that she managed to steal the money from them---specifically Laz---in the first place. Most people in his position would be mad as hell and instead he was like "That one. I want that one." Which, honestly, more power to him. Johan was more of a sweet and caring one, which is probably a good thing when you have two other alphas like Noah and Laz.

Lark is definitely not your average mafia princess, and she makes it clear that she wasn't going to be like her mother, who was definitely more of a traditional mafia wife, and one she didn't even have a close relationship with. She is definitely an omega who takes no shit.

All in all, it was a great read. Lexi has done it again.

Beware of the Widows.

Lark is the hacker of the Widows and her secrets includes how she funded the purchase Widows Peak with funds she stole from her Mafia Family’s rivals!

Enter the pack of Alphas that have been obsessed with her for years!

💚Johan, the cunning fellow hacker who identified her.
💚Noah, the psychotic guy but secret Labrador(only for her)
💚Lazarus, Head Alpha and Mafia Don. Makes the rules and bends for no one (except her…)

This was a fantastic addition the to The Widows series and Lexi has smashed it again. I loved how while it was insta love ,as it tends to be in Omegaverse, it was well done and Lark didn’t loose her spark or morals along the way.

These guys are obsessed and want to make Lark their Queen and are willing to do everything they can to prove they want an equal not a trophy. The plot line was great and I loved that guys were all together as well making this story slightly different. The banter was also top tier and it was hilarious to see how they all interacted together.

Here are some tropes you can expect to find:

💚 Pregnancy/Br33ding
💚 Forced Proximity
💚 Touch Her & ☠️
💚 Knotting
💚 Nesting
💚 Purring
💚Group Play with MM content

All in all, I can’t wait to read the rest of the Widows stories!

Lark is a hacker that somethings she did in the past, out of desperation, haunt her. But, things are not as them seem to a degree. She has this feisty personality that has you loving her personality right from the beginning. You do not need to have read any of the books from this world to completely understand what occurs throughout the story. One thing I wish was more clear in the blurb or at the end of the blurb was that it contains M/M. I am not against it and do enjoy some but wasn’t aware from the blurb that it contains it. It also is a little heavier than I normally read with books that contain M/M. I absolutely enjoyed the three alphas in the story. Lazarus is your strong dominant type but has an absolute softer side to the ones he cares about. Johan is your caretaker and peacemaker of the group. Noah is our amazing psycho that will have you laughing out loud at times. His humor is hilarious and his antics are fantastic. The story is extremely well written and developed. It is will definitely keep you engaged and wanting more.

This book is a standalone story within a shared world series.

I enjoyed the relationship between Lark and her three men—Johan, Noah, and Lazarus—watching them go from unsure and untrusting to a pack was a wild, dark ride.

I really liked how different the three men were. Johan is the hacker who actually tracked her down, Noah is a loose cannon but surprisingly sweet with her and is a bizarre unhinged golden retriever, and Lazarus is the powerful leader who holds everything together. The way they all became so possessive and protective of her made for a very, very steamy read, and I liked seeing Lark slowly realise that she might actually belong with them.

The story could be quite heavy and dark, not with the mafia element, but more with the smexy times - there is a plot, but it is predominantly all about making Lark part of their pack, and how they try to convince her.

Consent is a huge part of this story, its mentioned throughout and is a main theme between the pack.

It's certainly got my interest in reading more from the series.

Omg! Omg! Omg! I absolutely loved Lark’s story in the Beware of the Widows shared world!

This contemporary omegaverse with a mafia twist was such an enjoyable read. Lark is a total badass—her feisty, take-no-nonsense personality made her so fun to follow.

And the alphas? Absolutely top tier.
Laz, Johan, and Noah each brought something different to the pack. Laz, the mafia don and top alpha, definitely starts off a bit of a dick—but it fits his role perfectly. Johan is the sweet, softer alpha who almost gives off beta vibes, and then there’s Noah… the chaotic, hilarious assassin who completely stole the show for me.

The chemistry and banter between everyone was so good, and of course, the spicy moments were very hot 🔥

This was such a fun, addictive omegaverse read that I couldn’t get enough of.

I absolutely love the idea behind Beware of the Widows. Six omegas that escape the place that kidnapped them and form their town, Widows Peak, a safe haven for omegas. Six standalone stories by five different authors.

Lark is the third story released and tells the tale of Lark, an omega and talented hacker who found the land and got the money to establish Widows Peak. But her past is catching up to her quickly as mafia don Laz Ferraro and his pack have located Lark and are coming her.

Things I absolutely loved about this story: Lark is a feisty omega and isn’t afraid to growl. Although hesitant and unsure, Lark is open to her scent matches. Consent is huge in this story and Laz, Noah, and Johan repeatedly keep each other in check and make sure Lark knows how important it is. Noah is a freaking riot. Absolutely love the nickname Little Bee 🐝💛

Tropes featured include scent matches mates, mafia packs, omega in hiding, protective and obsessed alphas. Definitely read the warnings. This book has some dark aspects and a lot of different bedroom scenes.

All the right Vibes

Dark, addictive, and full of wicked fun. Lark is pure chaotic delight . We have a hacker heroine with bite and three men who refuse to let her slip away who are full on obsessed with her. This was a unique blend of mafia themes and omegaverse that really shined how the combo was honestly a perfect fit or tropes.

Lark delivers on an intelligent, strong FMC in a dark and high stakes world. She is everything I love in a main character, but with some softer edges of the OV world due to her designation. I love atypical omegas that are a fierce, strong character. The dynamic between Johan, Noah, and Laz is the perfect mix of unhinged, protective, and irresistible.

This was the perfect blend of Omegaverse and mafia themes with morally gray men and a strong heroine who doesn’t have to choose. It is a standalone story in a series of interconnected standalones so it is perfect for someone whose prefers standalones or series! RIP to my and your TBR pile!

Did I finish this book in basically a day? Yes, yes, I did.

Lexi Foss does it again with her omegaverse stories, and for this being her first contemporary omegaverse, I think she knocked it out of the park. Was there a plot? A little. Was there smut? Oh yes, there was. It was a wild ride from start to finish, and it was definitely something to devour.

You got Lark, a girl with a dark past who ran from her birthright because she wanted something more for herself. Armed with her hacker abilities, a gun, and her omega “pack,” the Widows, she started a new life for herself. Except she maaay have done something to get where she is now, and that put her on the radar of a mafia don and his pack of misfits. Laz, the main alpha in all his glory, his enforcer Noah in all his psychotic nature, and Noah, the second in command, who found her with his own hacking abilities.

It’s a perfect blend of MM moments that slowly turns into a huge group pile. This story also has everything an omegaverse is known for, and it takes no prisoners!

Obsessed MMC are my favorite

Lark, kidnapped at 18 to be sold, but she won't go down without a fight. She comes from a mafia family so knows what is needed to escape. She decided to stay so she didn't leave her friend behind. So it took some time, but they finally escaped and founded a deserted town. But the money they used to do it, well lets just say it came from somewhere. As soon as Lazarus, Noah, and Johan found who stole their money and why, they've been obsessed with the hacker Lark. They've been waiting and watching and they will get their prize. They know she's the only match for them. They just have to convince her.
If you also love obsessed MMC that are a bit psycho, kidnapping, forced proximity, consent kings, morally grey characters, and more - this is a great book. It's pretty fast paced in my opinion with a lot of action and some very spicy alpha/omega scenes.

I read this book first as an ARC not realising there was two previous stories. Can be read as a stand alone but I would recommend starting from the first book help with the background story & other character.

I enjoy Lexi C Foss books. This one was based on Aurora (Lark) a hacker who is part of the Widows & stole money from a Mafia family that helped fund the Widows sanctuary. The head of the Mafia family she stole from Lazarus (Laz) & his pack Noah & Johan have being watching her since discovering it was her that stole the money. What they didn’t realise was that Lark who they have been watching & obsessing for a few years was their secret match omega. Noah who is obsessed with Lark is hilarious some of things he does & comes out with will have you laughing. Laz is quite serious (Don of the family) & his relationship is on the edge with Lark. Johan finds common ground with Lark as the my are both Hackers.

This book is like getting pulled into a velvet-lined trap…you know it’s dangerous, but wow is it hard to leave.

Lark is a fun, sharp-tongued heroine whose hacker confidence crashes headfirst into a world that’s far more powerful than she ever expected. The dynamic between her and the three men keeps the story constantly shifting, with Johan’s calculated precision, Noah’s chaotic intensity, and Lazarus’s commanding presence creating a trio that’s equal parts intriguing and intimidating. Their chemistry with Lark simmers from the start and steadily builds into something addictive.

The premise is strong and the darker mafia elements add a delicious edge, but at times the pacing feels a bit uneven, especially as the relationships develop quickly in places that could have used more depth. Still, the tension, possessiveness, and emotional pull keep the pages turning.

Overall, it’s a gripping, spicy read with a compelling heroine and a dangerous trio you won’t forget, definitely worth the ride.

Who needs sleep when a new Lexi C Foss book comes out, totally read this overnight.
I love Lark's character; she's intuitive, strong, feisty, sweet, and sassy. The backstory of the Widows and how they came to be is dark & traumatizing and she steals money to save them. Now the guys she stole from come to collect and every time she stands up to them they fall more and more in love. Those MMCs are:
Lazarus - dominant & strong alpha but caring for those he loves.
Johan - peacemaker, nerdy, caretaker. He subs for the guys but is dominant for her.
Noah - He's my favorite but I adore golden retriever unhinged psychos and he will let her dominate him. He definitely falls first and hardest.
The banter in this book is amazing and the spice is even better. When I wasn't laughing out loud, I was panting. I would recommend this book even if it wasn't a Lexi C Foss but especially because it is, you can't go wrong reading her books.

Review of advance copy received from Author

So apparently this was the author’s first contemporary omegaverse.

This is also the first book I’ve read from this author and I enjoyed it. This is Lark’s story and truly enjoyed getting to know Lark and her hot as sin new pack. There’s Lazarus, the mafia don. Johan the second in command. And Noah the enforcer. I knew as soon as I met him he was gonna be the best character and he was. He was the unhinged psycho golden retriever. Absolutely loved everything about him.

What was amiss was any kind of mafia action. It was mentioned, glossed over but I wanted the nitty gritty details. Aside from that, really enjoyed the story. The author combines this book with a little bit humor; by way of the enforcer Noah. I just found him to be so very funny and I may have laughed out loud a couple times. Really enjoyed this story.

An omega hacker works to save other omegas and herself from a traffic💍 and uses a powerful mafia family to do so. When they find out, they want revenge… only of a different kind than they usually resort to.

The way this story had me smiling, laughing, and on the edge of my seat! Loved all the characters and their connections! Lark being this strong-willed fmc who matches the mmcs at every turn. The mmcs consist of one playfully unhinged man, one observant hacker, and stoic boss man himself. Each one brings something different to the story, and their relationships are better for it.

If you like:

You’ll love this!

Lark is the next installment in the Widows series and everyone’s favorite Hacker. We learn more about her back story and go back to the mafia world in this series. Her take no sh** personality is my favorite. She dives headfirst into their world and doesn’t let the alphas get away with anything.  The alphas are unhinged, violent, hot, and obsessed with their omega. I enjoyed that this story took place away from widows peak and shows one of the Omegas expanding out of her safe place and growing. Her men are funny and the way they interact with her brother make me laugh. The storyline also makes me curious into other members of this story that are not part of the widows series and if they will be getting their own books (fingers crossed) this was another great addition to these interconnected stand alone series and it was a quick, spicy and entertaining read.
