“The Chosen Secret,” by Alyssa Milani

What I liked:
-I liked how the top men in the world/organization are also Omega. Omega men are arranged to marriage omega women of wealth and important families. The Omega men act like Alpha men from other omegaverse book. Very unique.
-It was interesting to read a smutty mafia type romance where sex isn’t allowed until marriage.
-Tropes I like; Omegaverse, possessive man, cult/mafia type story, academy/college, etc.
What I didn’t like:
-The alpha type talk got old after a while… it had a lot of I’ll fill her up with my babies, she’ll be a good submissive wife, etc. It just got old after a while because it’s not my thing.

3 out of 5 stars.

-Omegaverse
-Omega X Omega
-Cult/Mafia Academy/ College

Thank you for the ARC, Netgalley.

This book was definitely something I enjoyed , I'm fairly new to dark romance and more of a romantasy girlie however Alyssa Milani won me over to the dark romance side with this book . I love how the story is told from both the MMC and FMC 's point of view .Your really able to mentally picture and feel everything about them with this writing style . The plot itself is an absolute page turner. I sat up until 2am reading because I couldn't get enough , almost every few chapters leaves you on a cliff hanger for the next chapter, keeping the reader engaged and wanting more .

Definitely read the trigger warnings ⚠️ but with me personally I barely have trigger warnings if not any . This really just thickens the plot so well.


Another additional bonus for me is the Spice level in this book 🌶🌶🌶🌶, even thou it's starts off as a bit of a slow burn 🔥 it really only lasts a few chapters unlike other books I've read .


Definitely give this book a go , you won't regret it 🥵🥰❤️

This is my first book by Alyssa Milano, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Chosen Secret is told from dual points of view and is perfect for fans of dark romance. The story revolves around Graham and Lakelyn, two characters involved in a secret society. The society itself has many layers, and I don’t want to spoil too much, but it’s intriguing. The author did a great job blending an engaging storyline with some steamy moments. I’d recommend checking the trigger warnings before diving in. Overall, I’d definitely read more from this author in the future.

I loved this book , but highly recommend you read the trigger warnings before reading. This book is dark and has graphic scenes not for anyone under 18.
The chosen secret it wrote in the view point of a mmc (graham) and a fmc ( lakelyn). They both are apart of a group called Omegas where their mates will be chosen for them. Before they knew who there mates were graham caught sight of her and immediately fell in love with her. They have a love/hate relationship because they both want to change the system they live in. They both also have past traumas that make it hard for either of them to trust . Through out the story lakelyn is being hunted by the dred who wants to hurt her and take her from graham.
This book will definitely hook you, with the amazing way both main characters give and take to not only learn to trust each other but change the world they live in.
