But I trust him. Emmett. An Omega escaping a past of his own.
He’s so much more than just my best friend.
I’ve kept my feelings to myself, afraid to lose what we have.
But all it takes is one night to change everything.
I’m scared but excited for the new path my life is taking.
That is until a group of Alphas come into Widows Peak.
Two of which I find out are not only my scent matches, but also Emmett’s
Will I be able to handle all these new changes?.
Aiden and Sloane are determined to show that they’re not like the Alphas from our past.

***** Lexi is part of a dark whychoose romance. This book contains three main men, who are with the FMC as well as each other. This book will be more on the sweeter side but have dark content.

Lexi, book 1 in the Beware of the Widows series, by Alisha Williams @alishawilliamsauthor is a favorite author of mine! Please read the trigger warnings!
This was a fantastic book about Lexi, Emmett, Aiden & Sloane! Tropes: Contemporary, Omegaverse, Why Choose with MMM, Escaped Captivity, Male & Female Omega, Friends to Lovers, Special Force Alphas, Scent Matches, Surprise Pregnancy, Alphas who have been searching for Lexi for years, Strong FMC, Found Family & HEA!
I really enjoyed Lexi’s story! She fought through a rough start from multiple fronts and had the most beautiful character growth: going from living for others to living for herself. While there are very dark undertones, this is ultimately a very sweet omegaverse romance. I love Emmett and his relationship with Lexi! As for Sloane and Aiden and as is common with scent matches, things progress very quickly. I was definitely here for it - fast-track courting with insanely hot moments! I really love the concept of Widow’s Peak - the sense of community, the willingness to help people down on their luck, the loyalty of the town for the Widows. I can’t wait to see how the other Widows are getting along with the rest of the series!
Omg! This story had me hooked from the first chapter. Lexi deserves all the love she gets in this book from her pack. Emmett, a male omega, might be one of my favorite characters Alisha Williams has ever written. Highly recommend!

What an amazingly perfect way to kick off “Beware of the Widows” Series. This one is sweet and spicy with a dark tone to start us off with.
This story had me from the first page. I mean, wow, these girls went through a lot to start off with. I wouldn’t personally class this as dark, as a lot of what the girls went through at the beginning is told after the fact, not through direct first-hand writing. However, you certainly feel what they suffered with Alisha's brilliant writing.
We start off with Lexi and Silva, twin sisters that haven’t had an easy life, especially in the years with their last foster family. Having escaped that, they then end up being taken by a trafficking ring and held captive for 3 years. Here is where we get to meet the other ladies within the ‘Widows’ omega family. And I have to say I am really excited to read more about each of them, with their own books throughout the series. Silva is the next book, and I'm totally looking forward to more of this badass omega, and I'm sure Jenn will do her justice!
Once the ladies manage to escape, they end up in an abandoned town, called Widows Peak. Together, they transform the town into a haven and sanctuary for those who need to feel safe and start over again. 5 years on, after escaping his own traumatic life, we get to meet Emmett, who was just the most adorable omega. He fell hard and fast for Lexi, but Lexi still had to work through her trauma and worried about the fact Emmett is 7 years her junior, so for 5 years Lexi and Emmett have been the best of friends, spending nearly all their time together. However, now Lexi is starting to get a possessive streak over Emmett and starts seeing him in a new light, which he is absolutely ecstatic about, as Emmett has waited all this time for Lexi to be ready and open for more.
Emmett really is an amazing Omega. I love his wonderful playful nature, and he’s so protective and perfect for Lexi. Lexi is such a sweet, gentle soul, she just wants everyone to be happy and feel safe. She still suffers from past trauma and life at Widows Peak has become her shield from the outside world she no longer trusts. I adored her sweet nature, with the odd pops of her growly feisty side that comes out to play, Oh, and her filthy mouth 😂
Two months on, after Lexi and Emmett become officially together, we meet Sloane and Aiden. They'd been searching for Lexi as a runaway for almost 10years after seeing a picture of her and feeling the pull to find her. They obviously didn’t expect to find two omegas, and for them both to be their scent-matches.
Aiden, Sloane & Levi’s first meeting doesn’t go to plan, but they soon work things out and start to court their omegas. Their characters are fantastic, they are so what Lexi and Emmett need. Aiden is gentle, protective and will do anything to ensure both Lexi and Emmett are happy, going at their pace. Sloane…..oh he was definitely my favourite. He’s an excitable spaniel puppy, just so chaotic, boisterous and anything that pops into his mind comes out of his mouth, he’s just so funny and utterly adorable, he had me giggling out loud….a lot! 🤣
Their whole story was such a fantastic read, it was wonderfully paced, keeping you engaged throughout. It’s a story of healing, learning to trust again and, most of all, finding love. I loved it all and can highly recommend, even if it’s just to meet Sloane 😍.
I just knew that this new series was going to be soooo freaking good. I loved the plot, each and every character that was mentioned (besides the bad guys🥊but they were well written!) Alisha just knows what she’s doing when it comes to making their personalities come to life.
I’m obsessed with two omega packs (M&F) and this is probably in my top three out of all I’ve read so far. The trauma bonding, best friendship, to romantic relationship between Lexi and Emmett tugged at my heart strings. I absolutely loved how obsessed Emmett was with Lexi and vice versa. And the surprise for both of them was literally the cherry on top. Cutest little duo I ever did see.
As every review mentions, Aiden and Sloane were literally top tier. Not only was their relationship so beautiful and how they completely understood each other was so adorable to read but their personalities were so good that I couldn’t get enough. I’m embarrassed (not really) about how much I highlighted in this book because everything was too good to not mark lol. Sloane is THAT alpha. If I were in an OV world, I’d want an alpha just like him lol. His unhinged, ADHD, hilarious, naughty self stole the show. He had me laughing with tears in my eyes and he was just so infectious. I loved him so much and I love that Aiden would get all soft and gooey for him.😍🥹
The spice was hot. Like hot hot hot. Reading an alpha getting pinned down by his omega as he (alpha) bottomed?? Gahhhh. I think that scene will live rent free in my head for the rest of my life.🤣🥵
Two small mentions and I don’t think they’re worth knocking a star over because this book was amazing regardless. The first is that there’s quite a few spelling errors towards the end of the book. That personally doesn’t bother me but figured I’d mention just in case. And the second is that while there is a heat for Lexi, it’s only with Emmett and it’s not really detailed while Emmett’s heat was detailed and with both alphas + Lexi present. I wish we could have gotten a bonus epilogue with her heat with all of them especially since hers was like a blip when E’s was a BANG lol.
Oh and I also love how the bondings happened in the book. I feel like they fit perfectly with the story and I love the patience and the understanding the alphas had for their omegas.🥹 AND I LOVED the We Are Worthy and We Are Destiny mentions 😍🫶🏼 And I hope Alisha adds more pregnancy to her books, loooooved!
Favorite Quotes:
“I’m not a brat. I’m a vibe.” - Sloane
I start to vibrate like an excited puppy. My Omega. My fucking scent match. God, she’s so damn beautiful.
I’ll probably come back and add a couple more.🖤

** spoiler alert ** There is nothing better than a more than great Omega-verse story. I am so loving this new genre that I can't seem to get enough! Lexi is a great start to this new series "Beware of the Widows" Lexi and her twin sister Silva bring this story alive. They have a cruel past and whilst still dealing with their own trauma, flee their foster home and go on the run. Their unfortunate capture by Gideon's henchmen takes their new found freedom away. Three years of grooming, getting the Omegas ready for Sale, and Lexi and Silva with their 4 room mates decide to escape. And escape they did! Successfully starting a new life for the 6 Omega women, they set up a new township just for Omegas, who need a safe place to stay. Widows Peak is born! A great backstory as Lexi and Silva go on to try and move past their trauma. Lexi is a loner, who prefers not to let anyone close. She finds it hard to trust. So when Emmett also escapes his old life, and finds Widows Peak and sees Lexi for the first time, he falls in love!! Insta Love...Oh Yeh!! Shame that love is not reciprocated for years to come!! A reverse age gap, and Lexi does not want to tie a younger, handsome Omega down. She knows she is damaged and carries a lot of baggage, but as best friends, Emmett and Lexi do reveal their pasts to each other. Love eventually wins and after her first heat, with the help of Emmett, they become a very loved up couple. Enter, unexpected pregnancy!! Lexi is not sure how to deal with her news and with Emmett away working, finds her feelings and emotions running rampant! She has to tell Emmett, and is not sure how he will feel about becoming a dad! Yeh, no worries there...what Omega who has been in love with a woman for 5 years wouldn't be happy to have a baby with her! And yep you guessed it! Enter Aiden and Sloane. Two Alphas looking for a girl in a photograph, at the age of 18, when she and her sister were reported as missing! A brilliant way to weave this story together as both Omegas are wary of all Alphas, and are quite happy to be on their own. They don't need or want a pack! The story evolves as Aiden and Sloane fight to get their Omegas to listen to their story and to allow them to court them!! Hehe, Sloane is hilarious, letting his mouth run away from him...his banter is off the charts funny as Aiden tries and fails to keep him in check. Scent matched to the two Omegas means that there is no going home without them, and if it means moving to Widows Peak just to be with them, then they plan to do that too! Helping their Omegas heal from past traumas goes a long way in making them feel loved up and the most important people in their Alphas lives! Brilliant story all round and a HEA for the newly formed pack of Alphas, Aiden and Sloane and Omega's Lexi and Emmett and their baby, Evangaline!

Now here comes Sloane who right away I love love love (NEW FAV MMC) and his lover Aiden. These alphas are in this town looking for a runaway, well guess what, they scent match to both Lexi and Emmett and I just wanted to crawl into this book and just be right there.
This is defiantly a top 5 new fav book. 10/10 Recommend.
Some Fav quotes
“You smell like heaven, sweetheart. Your scent is like an aphrodisiac. And I don’t want you to think I’m some creepy perv.”
“You know damn well what kind. I should be gagging you. This is all your fault.” ~ Aiden “I’m not sorry I’m vocal in bed. I like what I like. Why hold back?” ~ Sloane
Lexi and her twin sister, Silva, were taken by Gideon’s men, from an abandoned home to be groomed to be the perfect omega for alpha packs.
Three years later, the two sisters and four other omegas made a plan to escape the night of a gala Gideon was hosting for the girls to be bought. The six women hiked to an abandoned town called Widows Peak in Colorado.
Five years later, Emmett leaves his job in Utah and goes to Widows Peak where he befriends Lexi, while secretly being in love with her.
Another five years later, Sloane and Aiden arrived in Widows Peak in search of Lexi and her sister. Aiden was an FBI agent and was on the case of the missing sisters. He fixated on Lexi to the point of obsession. Sloane was an investigator when he met Aiden and shortly after, he went to work for Aiden in a special forces team.
When Lexi runs into Sloane and Aiden, she finds out that she’s scent matched to the both of them and when Lexi’s best friend and new partner, Emmett, comes back from out of town, he finds out that he is as well as the alpha’s scent match.
Lexi has a hard time trusting alphas, but bit by bit, she begins trusting Sloane and Aiden. She’s feisty and independent, and I enjoyed her character. I liked how her relationship with Emmett, differs from her relationship with both Sloane and Aiden. Each men brings different things to their relationship that I enjoyed.
I loved Sloane! He’s my absolute favorite of this book! He’s so protective, possessive, and funny. He has no filter whatsoever, but knows when to be serious for the most part. And he likes to get bloody. Aiden is serious, furiously protective and evens out some of Sloane’s crazy.
Feral Emmett was so hot! Completely different from his sweet and funny side. He helps around Widows Peak as well as neighboring communities.
I like that we got bits and pieces of some of the other women for the upcoming books in this series. I enjoyed all of the banter and fun Sloane brings to the pages. This is so, so spicy and I enjoyed every second of it!
Lexi and her sister Silva go through a lot while they are young. They run from a situation and are in hiding when they are captured into an even worse situation. However, they managed to band together with four other omegas and escape into the Colorado mountains. In search of a new place to live. They find an abandoned town and decide to make it home. Widows peak is now a thriving town that is a safe place for all omegas. Everyone is vetted before entering.
Emmett is a 19 year old male Omega who has been working at a club and forced to do things he never wanted to do but had to have money to survive. When he heard rumors of a safe haven in Colorado. He hoped they were true. Packing up in his junk vehicle he set out from Utah in hopes of something better.
Lexi and Emmett met when he first arrived and became the best of friends. when one night changes everything they realize it didn't really change anything because they've loved each other for a long time. They share everything with each other. They both have a distrust of men and especially of Alphas.
Enter Aiden and Sloan. These men have been searching for Lexi and Silva for a long time. However, they never would have expected to be sent matched to not only Lexi but also Emmett. These men come in gentle and patient and willing to do anything for their omegas to be comfortable and it's absolutely beautiful.
This book is sweet and tender in the middle of pure hate and darkness. The traumas they have endured led them to everything they deserved and more.
I love the different personalities of all of the characters we met. They all have such different personalities and are all so protective. This includes side characters that I'm sure we'll see again in future books.
I honestly can't wait to see what else happens in this series because I love the premise of a safe haven built by traumatized Omegas.

🖤 Review
Lexi and her friends have been through hell—and when a chance at freedom finally appears, they grab it and build an entirely new life from the ashes. What they create isn’t just survival… it’s hope.
Enter Emmett 🖤 A bouncer at the town’s club, hopelessly obsessed with one very specific (and older) Omega. Lexi? Not ready. Not even close. So into the friend zone he goes—where he waits patiently… for five. whole. years.
And when he finally gets his shot? 🔥 Worth. The. Wait.
Then we meet Aiden and Sloane—scent matches to both Omegas. Their introduction? 🚩 Not great. Their intentions? 💯 Protective. Devoted. All in.
Sloane absolutely stole my heart. His ADHD-coded chaos, humor, and depth made him an instant favorite, and I loved how layered his character felt beyond the Alpha role.
What I really loved most was the emotional journey—watching the Omegas slowly realize that not all Alphas are monsters… and that love, safety, and trust can coexist. They don’t have to choose between strength and softness. They can have both.
✨ Final Thoughts: Dark, emotional, spicy, and deeply rooted in found family and healing. This book sets up an incredibly compelling world, and I am beyond ready to read the rest of the girls’ stories.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Widows Peak is a sanctuary for broken Omegas who’ve survived hell and built something soft from the ashes. Lexi has carved out a life there that feels safe. Chosen. Quiet. But safety isn’t the same as fulfillment, and when Emmett, her best friend and fellow Omega, becomes something more after one life-changing night, everything begins to shift.
Then the Alphas arrive.
Not monsters. Not tyrants. But Aiden and Sloane, scent matches for both Lexi and Emmett. Men who don’t demand or dominate, but offer protection, patience, and something dangerously close to hope.
And Lexi is pregnant.
What I loved most about this book is how tender it feels in the middle of darkness. This is a why choose that doesn’t rush the trust. Every bond is earned. Every step forward is weighted by trauma, fear, and the very real risk of losing everything they’ve built. Lexi’s voice is soft but strong, and watching her learn that she doesn’t have to carry the world alone is incredibly moving.
This is not chaos for chaos’s sake. It’s healing. It’s chosen family. It’s learning that love doesn’t always look like pain.
Tropes ✨ 🖤 Dark Why Choose 🤍 Healing after trauma 🐺 Omega x Omega x Alphas 🫶 Found family 🔥 Scent matches 🤰 Pregnancy 💞 Sweet with a shadowed edge
If you liked soft omegas finding safety, emotional slow burns, protective MMCs who prove they’re different, and why choose romances that center healing as much as heat, Lexi is absolutely for you.
Lexi was so much fun to read — even with the darker themes, I absolutely flew through it.
The story does start off heavy, with Lexi and her sister enduring so much trauma before finally escaping and finding freedom. I loved the idea of them helping to create a safe town for omegas — it felt hopeful and powerful after everything they’d been through. This is where Lexi meets Emmett, a male omega searching for safety, and honestly… these two were adorable. Their friends-to-lovers journey was incredibly sweet and made my heart happy.
Then we meet the alphas, Sloane and Aidan — an established couple searching for their omega, who just so happens to be Lexi. And wow, I fell in love with this entire pack. The banter, the chemistry, the dynamic between all of them was just chef’s kiss. Sloane was hands down my favourite character (though they were all fantastic). His quips and remarks had me laughing out loud, and Emmett’s first heat scene was genuinely hilarious — I could not stop laughing.
Yes, there are darker themes woven through the story, but it’s also filled with so much love, humour, and heart. Did I read it in one sitting? Yes. Yes, I absolutely did 😁 And I can’t wait to dive into the rest of the Beware of the Widows shared world.

If you don’t know me, I’m obsessed with omegaverse stories, especially involving two omegas but when it’s by my favorite author, I just know it’s going to be so amazing. I really don’t know what she be putting in these books because each book I read gets better and better.
First off, this book had be giggling probably about 80% of the book. It had so many funny moments and it was so worth it.
I loved how Lexi, her sister and a few other girls escaped and pretty much built a town from scratch. Like how cool is that?!
I really loved Emmett from the moment he meets Lexi and her sister. He is just the sweetest cinnamon ever. What got me was he always did his best alone instead with other people because of how deep his feelings for her were. If that’s not love, then I don’t know what is.
Sloane and Aiden are the perfect alphas for Lexi and Emmett. These two would do anything for their omegas. Also, their own relationship is so freaking cute and it’s all because of how adorable Sloane is. This man is slightly crazy hit gosh, how can you not love him?
I was dying laughing when Aiden drew on his face. I swear this man.
I was so happy that in the end that both Emmett and Lexi got revenge on the man they hurt them, and boy, that was a plot twist. I loved how we get to see both of them grow and to really find their safe space in their pack.
I received a copy of this book and this is my honest review.
Such an amazing book by one of my favourite authors and I'm already looking forward to Book 2.
Lexi is a conflicted character. Orphaned with her sister Silva they end up in foster care before escaping after a traumatic experience with an alpha leaves Lexi despising them. They run and find shelter in an abandoned home only to be kidnapped by a ruthless gang. They are taken to a mansion where they are forced to learn what an alpha wants and to become the perfect Omega. Three years later, on their "debut" night the 6 girls manage to escape and eventually set up home in what will become Widow's Peak, a place of refuge for omegas.
Lexi eventually falls for another omega, Emmett and finds out she's pregnant just as a group of alphas arrive in their town. Aiden and his partner/lover Sloane have been searching for Lexi and Silva since they disappeared from foster care many years previously. They were originally FBI agents but now worked on their own with Aiden's brother Harlan and other alphas.
Aiden and Sloane turn out to be both Lexi and Emmett's scent matches and we see them falling for each other as the story builds where Aiden and Sloane go after Lexi's foster brother and then, together, the six women and their alphas and Emmett go after Gideon and the trafficking gang releasing more omegas and providing a very satisfying death scene.
I LOVE the concept of Widow's Peak. A small town for omegas that want to escape the world, or recover from trauma, or just be omegas without the fear of Alpha's exerting their control? Definitely a unique OV world in that sense, and I am honestly so keen for the other book in the series.
This one hit hard. Heed those warnings, please. But I think it's because of how hard Lexi's past hits, that makes her journey to finding her pack that more beautiful and wholesome and wonderful (even if there were still dark moments scattered through the book).
I absolutely loved the relationship with Emmett - something about two omegas loving each other makes me smile and giddy. I also really enjoyed Emmett's personality, especially how it changed with his heat (another unique take that I hadn't read before this one) - and I loved the best friends to lovers aspect.
Aiden and Sloane (but lets face it, mostly Sloane) had me in hysterics through the book, and I love that the two Alpha's were so distinct, but also worked perfectly together as lovers and as colleagues, balancing each other.
Deliciously spicy, wonderfully heart-warming as you read of trauma-healing, and emotionally captivating, I really enjoyed this one, and can't wait to read the books of the other Widow's we get introduced to through the book.
Thank you to the author for the eARC opportunity. These are my honest thoughts that I have provided voluntarily.
Dark, aching, and utterly seductive, Widows Peak wrapped its claws around me and did not let go.
Lexi is the kind of heroine I crave: forged in trauma, sharpened by survival, and unapologetically strong. She and the widows didn’t just escape hell, they built something from the ashes, a sanctuary born of blood, loss, and relentless will. Their strength isn’t loud or performative; it’s quiet, feral, and earned. Watching Lexi wrestle with trust, something she has every reason to withhold, while still daring to want more had my heart in a chokehold.
The emotional tension is deliciously dark, especially as desire, fear, and hope collide. Emmett’s bond with Lexi is tender and aching, and the arrival of Aiden and Sloane adds a dangerous, intoxicating edge. These men don’t demand trust....they earn it, step by step, and that makes every moment crackle with intensity. Add in the shared scent matches, the looming threat of the past, and the fragile miracle of new life, and this story becomes a heady mix of passion, vulnerability, and raw need.
This shared world has me completely enthralled. Widows Peak feels alive, haunted, protective, and sacred, and I am beyond ready to meet the rest of the widows who call it home. If you love stories about broken people choosing to survive, to love, and to trust anyway, this one will ruin you in the best possible way.
I cant scream enough how much I loved this book. Alisha had me in a choke hold from page 1 until the end. Then I was screaming and crying because it was over and I wanted more. So much more! The plot of this book was amazing and new. The story flowed perfectly and never felt dull. The action, tension, spice, and the little mystery mixed so well and delivered an amazing story.
Lexi left her foster home with her twin sister looking to build a life of safety for the two of them. Only to be grabbed and put on sale for the highest bidder. Once escaped with the other omegas, they finally get to build a safe life for them. Lexi finds or happens to meet Emmett, another omega who she takes in as a friend. Leading to becoming one of the most important people in her life.
Aidan and Sloan is the alphas who come in to swoop these 2 omega up and love, cherish and spoil rotten until the end of time. I absolutely loved them. They were fierce, protective and loved the omegas work everything they had.
The 4 of them together made me laugh out loud. They were so cute together and the playfulness that came out was adorable.
Lexi was the perfect start to this new series and I cant wait to see more and what the rest of the characters and authors have in store for us.
Oh my CRAP! This was so much more funnier than I was expecting for the amount of dark themes present! Lexi's character has an understated strength that I really enjoyed. She had moments of being too afraid to act yes, but when she really needed to she did and did it BEAUTIFULLY. Her and her twin sister Silva, along with four other girls, escape a bad situation and make a life for themselves. One they are willing to fight for. Lexi meets a younger omega named Emmet and he is SMITTEN from day 1. Then one day in comes two alphas that turn their ideas on the designation upside down. And let me tell you, Sloane is the breakout star of this book and the mess that comes out of his mouth had me CACKLING like an 80 year old which! 🤣 he is the BEST unhinged golden retriever man I've ever read and I absolutely LOVE for it!! As always check the trigger warnings people. This isn't as dark as some of the other things I've read but it definitely deals with a few dark themes. As some well deserved unaliving of HORRIBLE people 😏 In so excited for the rest of this series! Next up is Lexi's twin sister Silva and I'm soooo excited because Jenn Bullard is known for writing amazing dark OV with sweet SWEET revenge 😈 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐📚 overall story 🌶️🌶️🌶️ spice level 1st person POV Multiple POVs
"Sometimes life is hard, it can be downright painful. But if I learned anything from the things I've had to endure, it's to push forward, keep moving, because it can get better. It will if you fight for it." 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and 3🌶🌶🌶 I absolutely LOVED Lexi and everything about this book!! Lexi and the rest of the other Widows have gone through so much to make their life in Widows Peak. Seeing Lexi go from her beginning with Silva, through their struggles, and finally making it to her HEA with her pack was everything. Lexi is a strong character that deserved to find her happiness, and with Emmett, Sloane, and Aiden, that was finally possible. The story itself covers so much ground for both Omegas and what they've survived. Trusting and accepting Alphas wasn't something either had ever considered, but was everything they needed. Emmett is the BEST, and I love him! I fell hard for everything that is Sloane and his chaos from the first moment. Aiden and his sweet, caregiving personality were exactly what was needed. I am so excited about learning more about all of the other Widows!
Oh this book hit me straight in the feels. Had so many reactions and emotions reading through the pages of this book.
Lexi is the start of this new shared world, bringing together quite a few known omegaverse authors. And I'm so excited for all of them.
This book is Lexi's story. She and a few other omegas have escaped captivity and created a small town sanctuary for themselves and for anyone else looking for a fresh start. This book does time jump but I was ok with it because it went straight into this developing new relationship between Lexi and a younger male omega (Jeez Emmett is jut amazing). They develop this relationship and in comes this group of Alphas. And as much as I loved Aiden (because who doesn't love a broody one). My heart went and skipped a beat or two for Sloane. He is unapologetically himself, he cares and loves hard and is absolutely unhinged and has no filter. I just love his crazy self.
Please also check triggers. While the overall story is nice the content still has dark elements.
Lexi and her twin Silva fled from their foster home, only to end up taken to be sold off to the highest bidder. When she and fellow omegas escape, they forge a sisterhood and build a community and safe space for others like them. Lexi’s content but lately, she can’t help but wish for more.
This story explores the traumas both omegas endured and the healing they find together and with two alphas who are determined to cherish and protect them. I loved the friends to lovers dynamic between Lexi and Emmett that spans years of yearning. The alphas Sloane and Aiden are unhinged but so sweet and encourage the two omegas to explore the sides of themselves they didn’t know existed.
I adore the pack Lexi’s formed and am so excited for Silva’s story next!
Huge thanks to the author for the review copy opportunity! This is my honest and voluntary review.
This was my first book by Alisha and wow! I’ve read a lot Jenn’s books which is a cowriter with Alisha on some books, when I found out she was on the roster for the widows (alongside a few other amazing authors), I was excited to read one of hers! While these are standalones, it will be easier to just keep reading these when the others come out to understand each window and their backstory.
Lexi and her sister, Silva are trauma bonded twins who escape their hell to make a better place for omegas. Living their own lives in the same town, this story follows Lexi, her life with omega, Emmett, and two alphas who come in to show these two traumatized omegas that not all alphas are bad. Def an HEA and lots of heats, knots and spice! 10/10 recommend

I was recently introduced to this author on one of her collabs with Jenn Bullard and I really enjoyed that book and was excited for this series! This book was good, but not quite what I was expecting. I thought it would be a darker read but I would consider it more of a gray book instead of black? It is lighter than most of the dark books I've read and it worked. This book set up the series nicely while still having some plot twists that I didn't expect. I enjoyed reading about Lexi and her men. The only downside is the closer I got to the end of the book, the more typos I found. This was distracting and broke me out of zone. If those typos weren't there I would've been stuck flowing along in the story but it broke me out and bothered me alot. Mostly the typos were sentences missing the first letter or missing a space between words. Little things that were noticed in the last 100 or so pages. I still highly recommend reading this book and I'm off to find one of the books mentioned by the characters that she also wrote!
Great read!! This was sweet and spicy with dark undertones and both Omegas have traumatic pasts. Lexi and Emmett are friends for 5 years before she finally realizes her feelings for him, while for him, it’s always been her.
Then Aiden and Sloane come into town and turn their world upside down. Neither Omega wanted an Alpha after the pasts that they’ve had. But these Alphas are ready to prove just how good they could be together if they’re allowed to stick around and that they’ll put time and effort into building each relationship.
I loved Aiden and Sloane’s relationship, and Sloane is such a ‘brat’ in the best way ❤️ and slightly unhinged( also in the best way 🤣). Aiden, for the most part, was the voice of reason. Emmett was so sweet but fierce when he needed to be (But when in heat? 🤣iykyk). Lexi was so strong in most ways but still had trauma due to her past. This was definitely one of my favourite packs.
Banter was great, spice was phenomenal and their chemistry was undeniable . It was funny, emotional and heartwarming.
No cheating, no OWD, no third act breakup with a HEA

This is the first installment of a new shared Omegaverse world of Beware the Widows and boy is it a doozy! It a story that is achingly tender, viscerally raw, and violently redemptive. Lexie, her twin, and their friends have taken a truly heroic and traumatic past and turned it into a close knit community of safety and acceptance.
Despite the odds, and her ever present demons, Lexi finds the ability to be open to love. Emmett is the perfect balm for her soul and it is beautiful watching him patiently help heal her heart. These two omegas and their soul deep connection is so fulfilling to witness. But watching them bolster each other when fate throws them a curveball, is as glorious as it is heartwarming.
There are some dark and violent skeletons (please check content warnings) that need slaying but the heart of this story is truly centered on hope and love. I hope you will run, not walk, when this first book in this series releases on January 31st.
The first book in an connected series about 6 omegas who escape and create themselves and other omegas a haven in the mountains.
I loved the idea of these traumatised omegas making a new home but also helping other omegas find a safe place.
The story moves on 10 years and Lexi is closed off and struggling to move on. Her and her best friend go out to his cabin and things heat up.
I loved Emmet, I loved his back story but also that he isn’t a typical omega and shows a few alpha tendencies. His love for Lexi is clear to see.
After finding out a life altering event, Lexi finds her scent matches in Aiden and Sloane. A well established couple on the look out for a long lost omega.
These too are like ying and yang and it works perfectly. They way they give to there omegas is so well written.
I lovely quick insta love romance with some dark elements discussed but not shown.
I’m looking forward to more in this series and seeing how the other omegas find their hea.
As always, this author wrote an Omegaverse book that I absolutely love. Please check the triggers before reading. Lexi and her twin sister were on their own trying to stay away from people that will hurt them. Lexi has had a hard life for a bit but so glad to have her sister. The sisters run again with some other Omegas and build a town!
Emmett is an Omega also and stumbles on the town. He becomes friends with Lexi. He has had feelings for Lexi the moment he meets her sharing their pasts that truly make you want to cry. It takes years for Lexi to realize Emmett is more.
When Aiden and Sloane come to town, woo boy their lives definitely get turned upside down. I just love the two of them and how they prove themselves to Lexi and Emmett.
This book has banter that will have you laughing out loud and of course spice and also some tearful moments. Great start to a series that will each be a standalone and can't wait to read!
What a wonderful opening for the Widows shared world! These men (alphas and omegas alike) are full-on making me swoon. Lexi has a darker past but we see her learning how to open her heart to more than just surviving. Emmett is an omega who also has had a darker past who just wanted to be safe, only to meet Lexi and realize that even if all he could be was her friend, he'd be the best friend she'd ever need. We get to meet our alpha Aiden who is serious and organized, until faced with his scent match. And then there is Sloane who is Chaos in human form but all the more loveable for it. There's revenge plot, unexpected pregnancy, strong sassy female characters, sweet but protective male characters and some spicy times that left me speechless. I am excited to read about the rest of the widows and can't wait for the next book!
Lexie and Silva twins that fund themselves in a bad foster home with worse foster brothers run away and stay over in a be place. But daily Omegas never have it easy. Instead that are gives and talked to a new home what's that merry the 4 other girls who will mean so much miss to them going forward. The Widows.
This story is like all of this author's works. Heat and spice with witty banter between next alpha and their scent matched omegas, cause it's not just Lexi but the young stud Emmett who loved Lexi soon as he found this town 5 years before.
Sloan and Aiden the alphas that have taken on the two are spicy enough on their own adding in the saucier designation only means trouble. I loved Sloan and his ADHD! He such a great and unique character
In so glad I got to ARC this!! I fact wait till under rest!!!
This book will keep you going back for more! Lexi and the other girls created a safe place for many others to safely heal, including themselves. Lexi comes from a tragic background that caused her to hate and distrust alphas and never thought she'd ever trust an alpha again.
She never really got close to anyone except her twin sister, until a young gorgeous male Omega shows up looking for a safe place to heal. They end up becoming best friends and then more. She also gets a bigger surprise when two Alpha strangers come to town one day!
This keeps your attention and wanting to know more.. What more do you want? Omegaverse, scent-matches, sexy alphas (& Omegas) with some funny moments thrown in with a happy ending!
