I'm voluntarily reviewing a free advance reader copy I received.

Bryce and his brother Liam join the war efforts in a top secret project. They have never been separated before, but that soon changes. Both men are injected with who knows what to make them a super human military fighter, but Bryce turns into an Omega rather than the Alpha. Bryce isn't too happy with the idea, and he is truly more in the middle--he doesn't have the Alpha strength, but he has the Alpha personality, and he doesn't share a lot of the Omega qualities either. He hates the whole idea of an Omega being paired with an Alpha, until he comes into contact with Jackson's scent. He knows he needs to be with Jackson, even if he breaks the rules for it.

Jackson is almost the opposite of Bryce. He is also in the middle, but is more Alpha in strength, but has more of an Omega personality. They really are the perfect complement to each other. Jackson is about to be paired with an Omega (not Bryce), but he knows it isn't right. He doesn't know why, he just senses Bryce is there and can't go through with the forced pairing.

Eventually, many rules are broken, and the men find each other. Bryce is determined to find his brother, and live a happy life with Jackson. There were a number of twists in the book that helped keep it very interesting and different. I enjoyed it a lot. ( )

TAGS: GFY, mpreg last 5%.

I really enjoyed first 50% of the book, thinking giving it at least 4 stars.

However, after Bryce's bathroom window incident it started going downhill. Too much info dumping (pre-war, pre-academy life, constantly whining about wanting to die, then changing mind...) and too lovey-dovey bordering saccharine in the very end.

Jackson never made an impression on me as a big bad alpha. Omega Oliver had more guts, will and drive than him.

A few nice surprises in the second part of the book and one more closer to the end.
3.25 stars. Rounding down to 3 on GR and up to 3.5 on Booklikes.
