Lexi

Beware of the Widows

by Alisha Williams

Widows Peak is our safe haven, our home.

A place we made from the ground up after escaping our own personal hell.

I’ve built a new life, a life I choose.

I’m happy. Content. But is that enough?

I don’t trust Alphas, rightfully so.

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.

They want to protect us, take care of us, love us.

And the little life growing inside me too.

I can’t do this alone. I need them. Crave them. I have to let them in.

I just hope I’m putting my trust in the right people and everything won’t come crashing down around me.

Reviews

[⭐Toonasa⭐ *Romance Book Lovers' Haven* (For long and deep.... reviews!)]

I'M IN HEAVEN 😭😍. The omegas are together, the alphas are together, they're all together!!! YESSSSS. It starts strong...

A town nestled in Colorado is where these Omegas, the widows, have made a safe place for all the omegas. & We find the frequency of their heats yay!

Lexi is our sweet but fierce FMC & I love that we get to see all her 1sts & fall in love with her bestie Emmett, who's so devoted, loyal & caring. Omega x Omega make my heart warm 🥰. There's yearning, & a bit of slowburn in this relationship but as there's time skips - we get to the good part fast 😁.

Aiden is gentle & serious while Sloane is flirty, crazy fun & has ADHD. A+S lovers & have been searching for her for so long... & What a fiesty meet they have with L then E 😂.

With all the trauma L+E have suffered through alphas, of course they're cautious but their (both of their 😍) scent matches are lovely & just want to take care of them, soon enough win hearts 😁.

I loved the dynamics of this book & it's hella HOT. Plus Sloane & Em are vers 😍. I liked that the Alphas get to know the omegas individually & together too. Also there's a pregnancy plot, she's preggo in most of the book but the baby comes in epilogue.

Typically when there's a m & f omega in the pack, I'm sensitive towards if the attention given to the m-o is on par with f-o as I feel sad otherwise. On that account, this book did good in distributing affection between this poly pack. Amazing at 1st, but I was wanting:
1) Em to hear the alphas talked of loving their Omegas too. Only L heard 🥹.
2) At ending, the guys say ILY to her & she reciprocates, but they didn't say to eachother. At this point, I'd think they've already shared ILY as it didn't feel like the 1st time but I also wanted to hear them say it to Em 🥹.

On this note, I would say the guys are goners for Lexi & they multiple times say out loud how amazing she is 😅. Like, I get it guys - she did amazing things 👍. Just goes to show they appreciate her, also it was partly the Alphas care to her that won Em over lol. I need a man like that 😍.

Anyhow, I did enjoy the story & I think the MCs are sweet, I did want more of them all. Both Os can be feral at times 😂, the revenge was good. I get it's in more detailed in Silva's book but stuff happened so fast in climax!

I was meant to just check it out as I love MMMF with 2 Omegas but I fell in love with the MCs. I did skim & fast read, while skipping a few scenes at start but I read till end & completed it in 6hrs 30min!

Unsafe sex practices. Needs -3 stars.

I'm honestly appalled. Disgusted. And angry. Spoiler alert.

You'd think that an author with +60 published books, many lgbtq+, would know that you don't double dip.
With this I mean : Alpha 1 does P in A sex with the male omega, then P in V with the pregnant female omega.
With only mention of wet wipes.
Less than 10 pages later, she does the same with Alpha 2.

I'm sorry, but if you do a-sex, you use condoms or soap!!
I had to DNF this book, and post this since author hasn't responded to email via their website.

I might change this review if author responds to me. We'll see.

[Pene|ope • Reading Slump, Send Help]

Oh no! A new multi-author OMV series has started! My poor TBR.

3.5 stars.

[Sandi]

4.25 stars! This was a great start to this new omegaverse series (by multiple authors), of a group of badašș omega women who find themselves in an unthinkable situation, and not only get themselves out of it but find a way to thrive. In this community they build, safety is paramount, and everyone looks out for everyone else. Lexi’s story comes first, and it’s a doozy!

For Lexi, Widow’s Peak is home, and it’s all she ever wants. She’s settled, safe, and comforable, and happily so. Enter into the picture Emmett, another abused and traumatized omega who is instantly drawn to Lexi, and who becomes her best friend while secretly pining for more. This is not a fast burn or quick/instalove story. Years pass before things start to really happen. As they begin to explore and settle, enter Sloane and Aiden, Alphas that Lexi never wanted, yet can’t seem to escape (on multiple levels). Their romance is quicker to light, faster to burn, and they also bring their own relationship into the mix, so….bonus! This is ultimately a story about Lexi (and Emmett) learning to trust and love, and Aiden and Sloane learning to be I who their omegas need them to be.

I loved how we have 3 distinct male personalities, in addition to Lexi’s strong female vibe. We have a golden retriever, a fierce protector, and a goofy and loveable, but protective male. Lexi and Emmett get the best of all worlds when they are finally able to let down their walls. This book is full of drama, trauma, longing, knotting, and playing, and it’s all done with consent and respect. There is definitely some darker and deeper content within the story, but it doesn’t overpower the positive message of healing that is thread throughout. It’s a great story, and a great world building setup for what we’ll see with the rest of this series, and I’m very excited for more.

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!

[Leilani Noack]

Alright your in luck if you are looking for pregnancy, O/O and scent match Alphas than this is the book you are looking for. I love Lexi she is just as crazy as Sloane but her finding 3 men who love her and worship is what she deserves. And my Emmett finding his other half in another omega and his scent matches as well made me so happy for him. I love Alisha’s OV stories so much.

I love Lexi and Emmett!! Their relationship and bond was so sweet. I loved being able to see them leaning on eachother and supporting one another.

Sloane was a hyper golden retriever with no filter. He was hilarious but knew when to be serious in showing the omegas how much they mean to him.

Aiden was the levelheaded protector just wanting them to find their way together as a pack and with all the changes coming for them in the near future.

This was a fun easy read!! I can’t wait to read the other girls stories!

[Cassandra]

I thought this book had a lot of potential. I generally enjoyed the characters we got to know and even laughed out loud a few times. I also thought the author wrote the spice really well.

This is an assumption on my part but I think where this book struggled was that it is part of an interconnected series written by different authors. Because the side characters will be main characters written by someone else, we barely got any interaction with them. This matters because these should be the people Lexi is closest to. Yet we don’t get to learn much about them. I was constantly wondering if she and her twin sister even cared about each other because they definitely weren’t sharing big life details with each other and they rarely had dialogue together.

The last ~15% of this book just didn’t work for me, either. It felt like it was cosplaying “dark” but really came off as silly. And the details were sparse. Once again, because it’ll be revealed in a different story.

My last gripe is that the editing was almost nonexistent towards the end. I’ll ignore a certain amount of errors from indie books because I know there isn’t as much money behind the publication. And there were intermittent errors throughout the entire book, but by the end they really ramped up, which was distracting.

[Charlotte.s.library]

This was everything I didn't know I needed and more.

Lexi is both such a softie but also a badass, and I love her. The trauma she carries is something that no one should experience, but alongside the Windows she created this amazing life for herself, and I was happy to see her get the HEA she deserved.

Emmett, oh, my sweet sexy feral omega... Ngl, I love him the most. I love all 4 of them, but Emmett, he has a special place in my heart. He is just up there with Lexi in the trauma department, and if someone deserved a happy ending with a pack that adores him, then that person is him.

I love how Lexi and Emmett took everything I thought I knew about omegaverse and threw it out the window. And I mean everything. The way these two love each other is beautiful. I could cry just by thinking about that.

I was a bit skeptical when Sloane and Aiden came into their lives, but of course I had 0 reasons to doubt them. Of course my men would love and adore not just Lexi,but Emmett as well. As they should. I was curious where Emmett will fit into all this, and if it will feel natural. Somehow it felt more natural with Emmett, but hey, maybe that's just me.

The spice in this book was indeed fire, but it wasn't written just for the sake of having spice. I feel like every spicy scene had a meaning, it either helped the characters heal a little, or grow, or emotionally connect with the others in a way a domestic scene couldn't.

Sloane is the chaos to Aiden's calm. He is the fun to Aiden's seriousness. He is the one that will protect his pack with everything he has, if needed. Aiden would too, but I feel like Sloane would just go a bit further, this is who he is.

Aiden is very... he is sweet, so swert, and careful, and attentive in a way the chaotic Sloane can't be, oh, and he is also so, so Daddy 😏.

My only complains with this story is that 1) we didn't change pov's ( from Lexi's to Emmett's ) when their Alpha's finally bit them. I wish I was in Emmett's head when that happen and experience that from his pov. And 2) I also wished I could've seen Emmett being more part of Evangeline's birth... hello? Why was Aiden and Sloan all over Lexi and Emmett was just there? Same when they got to meet the lil bean.

Other than that the story was beautiful. It is a story about trauma, friendship, about finding and accepting love, about finding the people who'd love you unconditionally and about healing.

Because of those two things mentioned above I'd say this is more of a 4.75 stars, but because I loved the characters, dynamic and book overall I'll round it to 5 and call it a day.

I can't wait to listen to Silva next.

⭐4.5 | 🌶️🌶️🌶️
⤷This is the first book in the Beware of the Widows shared world. It follows the journey of 6 omegas, the widows, who escaped together and built an safe haven for omegas in the mountains of Colorado.

⤷The romantic relationship between Lexi and Emmett, from their friendship, tugged at my heartstrings. They were too cute together, and I loved the way they took care of each other. I’m a sucker for psycho golden retriever, and Sloane was such a hilarious alpha. I adored how Sloane & Aiden were caring, protective, and OTT obsessed with their omegas.

⤷ I was worried that this new series would be too dark for my taste, but this first one was overall sweet. I look forward to reading the new books in the series, especially Lark.

“You said you belong to us, not the other way around.” I throw his words back at him. “True.” He nods. “Fair point. Still, that doesn’t mean I’m not possessive of my owners.” He grins.

“Honestly, if you got to know me, I don’t think you’d want me. I’ve got a lot of baggage. Being with me wouldn’t be all sunshine and rainbows.” “It’s a good thing I’ve got the strength to carry any baggage you have.” I grin. “And who needs sunshine all the time? I love a good rainy night.”

“On your knees.” His voice is a deep rasp. “What?” My brows furrow. “On your fu*king knees, Alpha.”

[Cheyenne Rousseau]

If you haven’t read this author at all, I don’t know what’s wrong with you. She is my number one go to my automatic buy, and one of the only authors that I can continuously reread and never be bored.

This book was not any different in that regard. I absolutely loved it.

Our FMC is Lexi and she hasn’t been given an easy life. She’s a twin. Her twin is Silva. Whose book is out next by a different author since this is an interconnected standalone series if that makes sense?

Lexi and Silva ran from their foster home when they were 18 survived on their own for a few months until they went out one night came home and were kidnapped and held prisoner for the next three years. I don’t know if anything happened to Silva in those three years but we do know nothing happened to Lexi. Although that’s not to say that she didn’t go through something before that.

I won’t spoil the book, but I will say Lexi Silva, and the other women who were taken around the same time as them which was four other women all ran the night they were supposed to be sold and created their own town from a town that was abandoned.

This is when we meet one of Lexi’s guys three years after they ran his name is Emmett. Emmett like Lexi is an omega. They’ve both been through their fair share of trauma. What starts out his best friends turns to lovers.


Then they meet two alphas who turned out to be both of their scent matches.


That’s all I’m gonna spoil. I absolutely loved Sloan and Aiden. They were just what Emmett and Lexi needed. I absolutely loved all the characters to be honest.

This is definitely gonna be something I reread in the future and I can’t wait to see what happens in Silva’s book.

If you like content warnings to your storyline balanced with very sweet romance in your Omegaverse this book would definitely be a good shout 😀
It follows Lexi and the safe haven she’s created with other omegas to offer them shelter from the likes of what she experienced 😳 due to this she has a serious mistrust of Alphas, yet Aiden and Sloane upon finding her show what it’s like to be worshiped an it’s really sweet to see that relationship bloom, although I feel it was male omega Emmett whom she met first who really bright down the walls she had! I just found the pacing a bit off at times but There’s plenty of spice in this and the mix of sweet present with a traumatic past experience for a good OV story 👍

[Michelle Bailey]

Welcome to Widow’s Peak, Colorado. Lexi is the first book in the Beware of the Widows series. It is a MMFM(later MMMF) omegaverse romance. Lexi and Silva had a difficult life as omegas until they escaped from Gideon and made their way to Widow’s Peak. After being there for years, Lexi finally meets her pack. First, Emmett, another Omega makes his way there. Next, Aiden and Sloane arrive. What happens? Will Lexi accept them?
The duet performance by Molly Briar and Tyler Griffin was beyond extraordinary. Molly Briar was absolutely magnificent as sweet, kind, shy, somewhat naive, beautiful Lexi. I could feel her hurt, pain, fear, uncertainty, vulnerability, anger, strength, determination, lust, passion and love through her voice. Tyler Griffin was sensational as sweet, kind, loving Omega Emmett, serious, protective, cinnamon roll, “Daddy” Alpha Aiden and flirty, goofy, ADHD, slightly unhinged Alpha Sloane. He gave them all their own unique tone. His growly, sexy, sultry voice was swoon worthy. I highly recommend listening to this audiobook.
Thanks to the author and Adler Audios for this ALC.
AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Story 5 Narration 5 stars

[DarcieReadsALot]

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!

[Kari Lake]

This is my first Alisha Williams book, but I will definitely be on the lookout for more!

Duet narration with Tyler Griffin and Molly Briar. Molly is always so good at showing emotions in her narration. Tyler did an absolutely fabulous job with all of the male characters in the story. Each of them had their own voice and you could feel their individual characteristics.

Friends to lovers

This is book 1 in the Beware of the Widows series. Lexi and Silva have had a rough life. They escape from an abusive foster family and end up in an omega grooming situation. They finally escape with some other omegas and make their way to Widows Peak. Widows Peak is a town built for omegas to have a safe space to learn to live again.

Lexi and Emmett, another omega, develop a deep friendship. Alphas Sloan and Aiden show up in town with the intent to find Lexi because they have the feeling that she is their match.

The character development is fabulous. I can see some of the other characters stories start to build. I hope we see the 4 of them in the following stories.

Thank you to Alder Audio and the author for the ALC.

Beware of the Widows

Great start to this shared world of six women that went through the fire and display their scars as medals.

I loved Sloane so much. I am always the lover of a psycho puppy. Lexi is an amazing person, who like the others, builds a place where omegas and others can feel safe.

You really fall in love with the characters and the story. So much fun to meet the other widows and get to know them a little.

[Carolina]

Cozy

I like the book, I loved Sloane. I loved how Emmett with no reservations loved... the FMC, shit I forgot her name, Aiden was super sweet, shit Lexi, the book title *face palm* overall, it was good, although it lacks lots of beta reading or more checking because there were a lot of incongruences

[Allie Koval]

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!

[Sally Maxwell]

I think I need me a Sloane, I loved his crazy.
This was a great start to a series.

[Kira]

As always I enjoyed this. im just so over omegaverse, Alisha does a really good job at it though. this was a 4.5 star read for me. Emmett was my favorite . As to be expected the world and spice were great and kept you wanting more.

[Kristina]

Loved Lexi, Emmett, Sloane and Aiden's story! These widows are real bada$$es. Can't wait to read all of their stories. It was captivating start to finish, with plot twists, a little dark and gore and definitely hot and spicy like any Omegaverse story! Totally hooked from the very beginning. These guys definitely deserved one another , but mostly..their HEA.
Must Read Series 📚
Enjoy

[Serena Holt]

This is book one in a shared omegaverse world. I prefer my MMCs a little darker, but that didn't stop me from enjoying this one. Lexi and Emmett are hot together and the spices burns hotter with the addition of their two alphas, Aiden and Sloane.

‼️Check TW’s before reading‼️

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 😍.

[Mandy Robitaille]

I was SO excited to get an ALC of Lexi by @alishawilliamsauthor & this duet narration was SO good.

Lexi had some darker moments (my heart ached for Lexi and Silva!) Alisha does a wonderful job of capturing the healing journey Lexi goes through as she finds herself. But I also just really loved watching these alphas worm their way into her heart. And Emmett is my sweetheart 😍 I'm always a sucker for packs with two omegas, and I really love that the alphas respect the dynamic between Emmett and Lexi.

In terms of narration, this was really great! I felt fully immersed in the storyline. @molly.briar did an incredible job with Lexi. @narratortylergriffin also did amazing voicing the guys in a way that made them feel like all seperate, individual characters.

Thank you @adleraudios for the ALC 🫶🏻

RELEASE INFO FOR ARC/ALC BOOKS:

RECOMMENDATION:
This why choose omegaverse & first book of an amazing new series was an incredible read! The tragic beginning sets it all in motion for our girl, omega Lexi, to turn into such a badass! She broke those chains and gave double deuces to all alphas and their alphahole ways. Overcoming such a trauma has got to be immensely difficult, but she did it… as best as anyone can… she overcame it all and came out on the other side with such a full and amazing life with her amazing men and lots of omegaverse spicy time and all the things that go with it (knots, purrs, nesting, slick, etc)!

“Being what you need is the easiest thing we’ve ever done. It feels right. Perfect. We love taking care of you, protecting you. I can’t wait to do that for the rest of our lives.” -Sloane

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW & TIME LENGTH:
No audiobook at the time of this review.

FMC:  
Lexi Davenport, 31 years old, omega. She suffered abuse and then captivity from the age of 18. Her sister, Silva, and her freed themselves from both situations they were in. Unfortunately, there are scars left behind on her emotions that she is still overcoming even 13 years later.

MMC:
Emmett Walker, 24 years old, omega. He is an absolute cinnamon-roll omega, so kind and thoughtful and perfect. He was forced into stripping and even more for money to survive prior to age 19. When he heard about a town for omegas, where they are protected and can live without fear, he took what money he had saved, some hope for a better life and drove that way. He is a dreamboat!

Aiden Madden, 36 years old, alpha and special forces. In a long-term relationship with Sloane. Aiden is the “daddy” alpha. He is the one who keeps Sloane in line, ok nobody can keep Sloane in line. He tries to keep Sloane in line and be the protector and caretaker of them all. He is also a cinnamon-roll but in a “daddy” role. It’s hot!

Sloane Madden, 36 years old, alpha and special forces. In a long-term relationship with Aiden. Sloane is seriously a man-child. He is THE world’s biggest flirt, always joking and having fun. He shows he can be serious when it is needed and appropriate, but otherwise he is a LOT to handle!! But omgoodness I love him!

STORYLINE/PLOT:
This story starts back in time, when Lexi is 18, again at 26, then ends up for the majority of the book at age 31. The happenings in the early chapters are very important to the story and set it off with the right feels and in the right headspace to continue on.

After saving themselves from captivity, Lexi and Silva found a deserted town in the Colorado wilderness to stay in. They fortified it and made it a little town for omegas to live and life safely from the threat of alphas who want to own or harm them, the town called Widow’s Peak.

Lexi has been single and focusing on running the town, not making the time for anything or anyone else. That is until Emmett Walker shows up one day. With her 31 and him 24 she thinks she is too old but regardless she is taken with him immediately. He is smitten and in love at first sight. They become the absolute best of friends, until it turns into more.

Then comes Aiden and Sloane Madden. They are both alphas, 36 years old and are in love and partners in all ways. They even took the same last name. They were agents who were tasked to find Lexi and Silva when they went missing from their foster care family. They have been looking ever since.

I absolutely love all the main characters in this story! Lexi and Emmett are amazing together. They have a relationship built on trust and care and they do everything they can to make the other happy. They never expect 2 alphas to barge into their lives turning things upside down. Alphas are bad and they treat omegas terribly, right? Not these two! These two are unicorns among alphas. They just want to love and be loved. And maybe get some revenge on those who have wronged their omegas!

This is a story about saving yourself, allowing yourself to heal and realizing you deserve to be loved and cared for. Life is way too short to deny yourself happiness due to fear.

NOTE:
Definitely check trigger warnings if needed!

Possible spoilers below, fair warning ⚠️

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!

** 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!

❧Overall Thoughts☙
I really enjoyed this. The story itself is rather sweet, focusing on the building relationship between the main characters.
I loved that despite having traumatic pasts, Emmette and Levi didn't let that define them. They kept an open mind even before the alphas came into the mix. They discussed how their relationship was changing and how if they came across their scent matches they would make it clear that the two of them were each others first priority and a package deal. If their scent matches couldn't respect that then they weren't for them.

❧Tropes/Vibes☙
➳ Polyamorous (MMMF)
➳ Two Omegas (m&f) with traumatic pasts
➳ Reverse age gap
➳ Friends to Lovers
➳ ADHD Rep
➳ Pregnancy

❧Characters☙
❥ Levi (Ω): She's so strong even if she doesn't believe it. She didn't let her past win. She wasn't going to be forced into submission and make herself smaller because that was what she was trained to do. “Did you put a tracker on their truck?" “Damn fucking right I did. Now, let’s go find our Alphas so I can kill them."
❥ Emmette (Ω): He's the kind of guy you want to protect at all costs. There isn't a bad bone in him. He puts Levi first - always. He's sweet and romantic. He was enamoured with Levi from the second he saw her and despite her sister teasing him, he knew he would be in Levi's life for the rest of his. "Call me dramatic, but I’d die for her. I’d lay my life on the line any damn day if it meant keeping her safe."
❥ Sloane (α): Sloane brought so much fun and chaos to this. His one liners crack me up. The guy really doesn't have a filter and he's like an excitable puppy. It's adorable. Don't be fooled though, this puppy has teeth and he doesn't like people who hurt others but especially his omegas. He won't just bite, he'll rip ya to shreds and dance on your grave. “Do you like the idea of owning your Alphas? I can even get a collar that says property of Lexi and Emmett. I do look good in leather.”
❥ Aiden (α) - Aiden balanced Sloane's chaos with his logic, reasoning and understanding. He has a tendency to overthink in an sweet kind of way and is the caretaker of the group. "You, Emmet, and that little one growing inside you are our home. Wherever you are, that's where we want to be."

❧Fav Quotes☙
✦ “And when you say you hate assholes, that doesn’t include mine, does it? Because I have a very nice asshole. You don’t have anything to worry about.”
✦ “He looks like he either wants to kill me or fuck me. God, I hope it’s the latter."
✦ “So don’t hold back. Be who you are. Don’t stop to think if you’re being too much, because Sloane, you’re never too much. You're enough. Just enough. Perfect the way you are, and I can’t wait to see where this goes.”
✦ “I’m gonna be the best fucking boy,” Sloane promises, then takes off to find a bathroom.
