Griean

Living on a planet where omegas are treated like second class citizens is bad, but Griean never imagined it could get worse. When the Alpha King is caught in a compromising situation with his omega assistant, the whole planet goes crazy. The public demands for the removal of omegas from high-ranking jobs. As if that wasn’t crazy enough, the ruling council declares that omegas of age – those about to enter their first heat cycle, leave their homes and move into commune houses.

Life in the commune house is not bad, but Griean wants out. The only way for him to gain a modicum of independence is to get a job. Finding a job is not easy – they are few and far in between. When he does find a job, Griean is disappointed, because the job is a surrogate job. He has to carry a strange alpha and omega’s cub. The thought of staying in the commune for another year, spurs him on. But he never dreamed the alpha looking for a surrogate is none other than Djohn Moulekk, his favorite UA fighter. Well, he’s not just any fighter…he’s the reigning champion and Griean’s obsession…

Living in Djohn’s house stokes his obsession. And Griean starts craving him, wanting him even though Djohn is bonded to another omega, Fin. Griean manages to keep his feelings inside, but he finds out an unexpected truth – Djohn is his true mate.

Djohn

Djohn wants to be in a real bond with Fin. He believes they can be happy together. Well, that’s until their surrogate omega arrives. Griean’s scent drives him crazy. Djohn craves him on a level he never thought possible. But he can’t have him, because he’s there to save his bond with Fin.

Djohn manages to stay away from him, but everything falls apart when Griean goes into heat, and Fin asks him to share Griean’s heat, since he’s been with other omegas.

Conflicted, Djohn doesn’t know what to do. Griean is not just another omega. He’s his true mate. If he touches Griean, will he be able to let him go after his heat? Or will everything he worked hard for fall apart?

Please note: Surrogate Omega is set on an imaginary planet that is similar to modern day earth, with a bit of fantasy elements. The novel contains Omegaverse themes: Knotting, True Mates, Claiming Marks, MPreg and fated love.

Fun concept but not well executed. Countless typos, stray commas everywhere, and an overwhelming number of side characters to keep straight. Skimmed the last half to see how it ended.

DNF @ 7%.

The quality of the writing just isn’t where it needs to be. Commas are plopped down at random. We’re told omegas can’t go anywhere alone, in the same paragraph in which the omega is walking in public alone. “You don’t have to go”, his mother tells him, when in fact he does and will be forcefully made to go. “Or maybe it was his first time here”, he thinks. It is, in fact, his first time there. It’s been minutes.

The author relies too heavily on telling, rather than showing, especially with world-building info. Or maybe they tried to show, and failed miserably? I don't know. All I know is that the result was awful. The book could also use an edit by someone who understands commas, though that is the very least of its problems.

I really liked this book!

Good chemistry
Interesting side characters
Hot steamy sexxxx 🤌🏼
It could’ve used more pages to dive deeper into the plot and character development but then again this is a series so maybe the author wants to do that throughout all the upcoming books. Excited to read the next one!

I hate not finishing books but I just couldn't with this one. I enjoyed the premise but the writing was full of errors that should have been caught during proofreading and editing. The writing itself was... well... amateur at best and it showed. It read like something I would have written in high school.

I really struggled to read this. It wasn’t well written and there were so many errors, including the main characters name being misspelled at one point. I had a hard time visualizing what the world looked like, and there was almost no connection between any of the characters. I got about 30% done and then just skimmed/skipped to the end.

3 stars for the plot and what could have been, I’m so sad that this was so poorly executed, there was no romance building between the main characters only sexual tension, which I love but it can’t be everything, right? It was badly written, I had a lot of trouble imagining the world because of it.

I’ll continue with the next one because again, the premise and plot seems interesting.

I liked the story the plot and storyline is very unique and pretty interesting. It feels like this book is heavily inspired by Alessandra Hazard’s “The Wrong Alpha” series, which is an incredible series btw, but this book is not executed very well. I’m not sure if this author is a newer author that just started their career because they definitely have potential, however there were many silly grammar and spelling mistakes. Something else I noticed and saw a few people mention is that the book was disconnected from its world/universe. It takes place on another planet but because this is hardly mentioned or expanded on,I feel like it was just unnecessary to do. The hover and bath bots were so strange to me, I don’t know if it was because of their names or the fact that they weren’t really explained, but it didn’t feel natural and felt sort of awkward to read, which I know is sort of random but overall, I think this book could have been a lot better with some more world-building and proof-reading.

This was quite dissapointing. Griean and Djohn barely had any moments together. Djohn was basically fighting his attraction and keeping his distance from Griean the whole time.

I hated how Djohn believed Griean was causing his aggression. Even up to the 70% mark, Djohn was still fighting for Fin and this was while Griean was in heat smh. Djohn only wanted Griean after he helped Griean through his heat.

Everything felt rushed in the last 25%. Other than being true mates, there was no reason for them to be together. It was purely physical/sexual attraction. Djohn barely groveled for the way he treated Griean. Griean deserved better.

The story was good, it does suffer from errors at one point the alphas name went from being Djhon to Jhon, a year became 4 then went back to 1, there were more but those were the ones that stood out the most.

As far as the story goes it didn't make sense that the omegas were taken away from their homes and made to work where there were alphas when this was supposed to 'keep them safe' it would have made more sense had they been made to work where they were only in contact with betas and omegas.

Need editing

The story is nice. However there are a multitude of spelling and grammatical errors. As well as there being a lack of identifiers, there is a lot of 'he' going on instead of using the names of the various people being written about at once. Making it hard sometimes to understand who is doing or saying what.

There are also a lot of words that have been used incorrectly. It was difficult to get through but the world building was somewhat decent and I'm willing to give the other books in the series a try.

DNF 10%. Should’ve read the reviews before starting.

Reads like it was written in high school and never edited. The typos make it really difficult for me to stay engaged in the story, and it’s all really choppy (seems like half the time the author isn’t sure whether to use a comma or a period). I mean honestly. Too instead of too and lap instead of lab…?? How was this published?

There was literally a whole paragraph talking about 3 different people but only he/him were used so you have no clue who the author is even writing about.

No me esperaba para nada está historia. No sé porque tenía que iba de una cosa esto nada que ver. Me sorprendió muy gratamente y quedé encantada.

Griean me gustó mucho, me hubiera encantado que su personaje haya evolucionado más y que no quede en un simple Omega embarazado, pero bueno, de todas formas me gustó su personaje.
Djohn me gustó también, pero sinceramente tampoco hay mucho que decir.

Muero por leer las historias de Fin, Ersa, Maxus y por supuesto de nuestro querido Deltta (QUE SI NO ESTOY MAL EL SIGUIENTE LIBRO ES DE MAC Y DELTTA‼️)

3.5 stars for this one. Like others have said, it could use an editor to go through it and correct the creative use of commas, weird semicolon placement, and fixing the incorrect common sayings such “there and there” which should be “there and then”.

Looking past that, though, it has good bones for a world we haven’t seen before. Kept my interest and, when I finished it, I wanted to read the next one in the series.

Looking forward to the third book.

sweet!

I liked this book. The tension these two had was crazy, like wow. I have a soft spot for true mates stories too because they are just so intense. I really want to read more books in this series, there’s a lot of promising couples mentioned here and on Mac’s story. I’m a new fan of this author and will follow up. Can’t wait to read what’s next

ehh it’s alright

Definitely not as spicy as I had hoped for, the scenes that did happen were Luke warm at best to me. The story was interesting though so there’s that. It was more cheesy than endearing. I know there’s got to be a build up to the spice but it didn’t even really happen until about 60%, I don’t think I will continue with the series

Eh, the story itself was okay if predictable. And though I can usually ignore grammatical errors if and when I encounter them, all the random commas plopped into the middle of sentences started to bother me so much.

I think the author thought they were building the right amount of tension but it was just too much. By the time the MCs got together, I was tired of the back-and-forth of it all. There were also several typos that bugged me.

The basics for a good story where there but it failed in the execution.

The characters are flat, the grammar and punctuation is full of mistakes, and huge sections are unnecessary info dumps about how the characters feel. Show me, don't tell me.

Interesting

Despite the typos, it was an interesting story. The main characters and background characters were interesting. It was nice reading an omega/alpha story that had a decent plot, nothing groundbreaking but decent. I will continue the series.

Well, this was disappointing.

Like they story could've been way more juicy and interesting and they just made It the most bland they could.

There were also two times when they presented you with much more interesting stories of the secondary characters and you were left wondering why you were not reading their stories. And there was not pregnant angst.

And I hated the names. The protagonist okay ,but there was a dude called Niid. Like wtf.

I think I don't like sport romance.

The concept was interesting I just felt like even for a novella a lot of the relationship substance was missing.
I'll give the second one a chance because I'm intrigued by the couple it features but I'm reserving my judgement.

Good Read🤗😊

Nice storyline👍. The characters were okay but each one could have had a stronger impact to the story especially the alphas in the story🤔. On to the next book😉!

The writing was a bit off and the story became really repetitive at one point with a fast paced ending like the author was caught off guard. Kinda like when you’re writing a conclusion for a paper and you don’t know what to say.

Even though I enjoyed the story I felt like it was trying too hard.
