No one wants the attention of an alpha. Huge, Brutal, dominant… but what happens when you’re pretending to be one?
I’ve always been an alpha. At least, that’s what I’ve been told all my life. But one look at Thale Barnes, and I’m running scared. Something about the big, brutal alpha gets my motor running. And it shouldn’t. I certainly shouldn’t want his kisses, his dominance… his fangs in my neck marking me.
The plan was to ignore him. Until Logan Shaw, a sexy as sin beta whose scent screams alpha. Now I have two of them vying for me, and everything inside wants to submit like the omega I shouldn’t want to be…
She’s an alpha. I shouldn’t want her. Yet I can’t keep away.
Penny is my weakness. Has been since she joined the ASC. Hard as nails and stunningly beautiful it makes me ache, I know I don’t have a chance with her. Alpha and alpha won't work without a pack and I'm not into sharing. Except Penny is worth it. Whatever it takes to keep her in my bed and safe—even agreeing to share with a beta.
Getting caught between two alphas is suicide—but I don't care.
From the moment we met, it was lust at first sight. That she's an alpha and I'm just a beta doesn't stop me from wanting her, from wanting her in my bed and wearing my mark, even if it means taking on an alpha hell-bent on marking her without her consent...
Mina Carter is a New York Times & USA Today bestselling author of romance in many genres. She lives in the UK with her husband, daughter, a puppy who pays no attention to her whatsoever, and a bossy cat.
Penny, despite having Omega qualities, is an Alpha. Or so she thinks...it's what she's been told her whole life and what she mostly believes. When she starts a relationship with Thale and Logan, the line between who she thinks she is and who she actually is begins to blur. Thale is all alpha and Logan is a beta with major alpha qualities. These two bring out the femininity and vulnerability in Penny.
With their growing bond, there is an underlying mystery to be solved about disappearing omegas. Will Penny, Thale, and Logan find happiness together as well as solve what is happening?
Penny was fun to read and I liked both her sass and dominant personality and her softness and submissiveness at the right times with her men. Thale and Logan were possessive and I loved the way they wanted to form a pack with Penny.
The story outside of the romance felt underdeveloped but I look forward to seeing it tied up with Killian's story. Overall, a decent installment with plenty of heat and I appreciate it being a MFM so we got plenty of time with Penny's men worshiping her.
This story was as hot and spicy as I hoped it would be. These three were not meant to fit in the mold society thrust them into, they were meant to stand out and find their own way. An alpha male who left the life he was born into, a beta who is so close to alpha you expect him to suddenly cross the line, and an alpha female who only purrs for her chosen men. Together they form a bond that is unbearable. I enjoyed seeing tempers flare, and watching them each settle into the roles they were meant to play. There’s action and danger, and so much love that I just couldn’t put it down. And who would want to miss this fantastic HEA? This book is one that I’m sure to read again and again, well at least until the next installment comes out. I can’t wait!
This series just keeps getting better! The plot on this one was so detailed and twisted that I couldn't stop turning pages to see what happened next. I love that this book is showing how closely related the omega/beta/alpha lines run and how they can be blurred. The romance is full of spark, snark and spice! I can't wait to see what happens in the next book!
This is definitely a brutal world, dark and violent. While the primary and peripherial characters seem to be outside of the norm in behavior, they still have to deal with a world where gifts, once considered to be precious and to be protected, become currancy for trade between packs and subjugation. Slowly but surely this world of black and white norms and ideals are being blurred with each book. Penny , Thale and Logan's story bring these grays out into the open. Great world building and well rounded characters. Look forward to Killian's story next.
I received an ARC from this author but am freely leaving this review.
Penny is an alpha. She thinks. Despite having many omega-like qualities, her official designation was determined to be alpha, of which she also has a lot of qualities. Being an alpha allows her more freedoms, but she does find herself feeling confused in regards to her dynamic since she seems to straddle the line.
And lately those lines are getting more blurry. As she begins a relationship with two sexy men — a surprisingly dominant Beta, and a burly Alpha that she works with at Alpha Security Company — her omega traits seem to be more prevalent around them.
As they all try to build their pack, they are also working on cases that seem to involve omegas being kidnapped.
I liked this latest installment of the Alpha Security Company. I had a feeling it would be about Penny/Logan/Thale. And I’m so glad it was another ménage book. Yay!
I liked Penny’s character and I liked Logan and Thale as well. At first they but heads a bit and show a lot of possessiveness. But when Penny makes it clear to both of them that she’s interested in them both and possibly forming a pack with them, they both seem to be a lot more willing to share.
The plot side of things was a bit weaker in this book than the previous ones. We do have something bigger going on with Omegas being kidnapped, but nothing with that is actually solved within this book, so I’m assuming the story will arc over to the next one. Which is okay, but it would be nice to have at least part of the plot be wrapped up in the book.
There also seemed to be a few dropped plot strings. First the party they went to — were any omegas kidnapped? That was the whole reason they went. And also it seemed like a conversation between Thale and Logan about a possible pair bond was imminent, but never happened.
Speaking of the next book, I’m excited for it to be Killian’s book! We get a sneak peek in the epilogue and I’m happy for that. I wonder if his book will be about Serena? Or someone else?
I’m also looking forward to getting a book for Zeke too!
Overall it was a good installment. I enjoyed it and I liked the characters. Would love more mfm from this series or even a mmf would be cool too!

Omega’s Choice is the fifth book set within the Alpha Security Company series, but could be read as a stand alone. Penny has always registered as a female alpha, but secretly she’s always wondered if she’s something different. Being around coworker and fellow Alpha, Thale, and Beta Logan, has opened up her mind to her own needs and desires. But when a case of missing Omegas causes them all to act, will Penny’s secret come to light and destroy their budding relationship?
Oh my goodness, I feel like my heart is still pounding after reading this book! Penny, Logan, and Thale were dynamic and passionate and protective and I adored them individually and together. Penny was fierce and vulnerable, while both Thale and Logan were possessive and brought a fun and challenging perspective into the relationship. I think my favorite part was watching them realize that a triad could work for them, and that they didn’t need to be competitive, but could, in fact, be a cohesive couple. Plus, I love this new take on what it means to be an Omega or Alpha or even a Beta! I feel like this opens up a whole new way of looking at Omegaverse books and where this series could take us next! The ending of this book - holy smokes! I thought it was going to be a duet. I wasn’t sure what to expect and it definitely took me in a different direction than I was expecting. It did feel a little rushed at the very end, but I loved it nonetheless! I am really enjoying this series and am really excited to see what will come next!
The Omegaverse is a bit darker and whole lot more spicier!
In this dystopian world after WWIII, the world is ruled by the Alpha's and their grunt work gets done by Beta's. If you're an Omega the best you can hope for is a kindly Alpha. Or you can play the system at its own game!
Omega’s may get the short end of the stick but occasionally they come out on top - especially if they are an Omega Male. Alpha females do quite well too - they get to have a pack at their...ahem, beck and call. Menages aren't frowned upon and neither are multiple person marriages.
Thale, Penny, and Logan are an intricately woven bunch. Alpha and Beta (but so near the line he may as well be Alpha both in love/lust with Penny, another Alpha. Or is she? I loved working through the love triangle that became so much more. Thale's mother is an absolute peach - she is not going to win mum of the year any time soon. also love and care for each other. The tetchy Alpha, the calm but determined cop and the female who whips them into line!
I really enjoyed the idea of creating a pack. And the fuzziness between the distinctions Alpha, Beta, Omega,
“It’s a triangle,” he explained. “We already know some betas can express more alpha or omega traits. But it’s the same with us.”
Our MFC is a mix of Alpha and Omega and I loved that she brought the two MMCs together. As the two MMCs talk to each other,
““I tore that asshole’s throat out for what he did to our girl.”
Our girl.
The possessive declaration hit me hard. She was our girl. She didn’t just belong to me. She belonged to Thale as well. Or... we belonged to her.”
I love it when men get along with each other.
And this is the next MMC,
“Everyone had heard stories of the devil. In them, he was a cross between a cold-blooded murderer and Satan himself with some nightmare thrown in for good measure. They said he couldn’t be killed. The scar across his throat from where someone had tried to kill him and he’d dug himself out of his own grave was testament to that.”
He sounds totally badass. I hope he gets an Omega and a pair.
I really enjoyed this story! It pulled me in from beginning to end and really held my attention the entire time. I loved watching these 3 come together and find their way through this. I loved how strong they all were and how much they worked to figure things out. We get to see some more twists on the idea of the dynamics and the fact that it isn’t a straight line. I loved that we have a female alpha/omega to show all of this. I really adored this story and these characters. This story is hot with action and intrigue throughout. The story is a little on the darker side as the world is a little darker but it doesn’t feel super dark. There are attempts to rape in this story, so beware id easily triggered. The story really worked for me and I can’t wait for more in this series!! I love the alpha/omega dynamics and the way they work in this world and absolutely want more! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Alpha, Beta and Omega in a powerful combination that left me glued to my e-reader from the beginning, reading non-stop. What a man that Thale Barnes, possessive, protective and limitless. Logan was quite a challenge and Penny blew me away with how strong and determined she was. The protagonist's intense emotions and internal struggles made me feel with them. I love how the author pleases us with these intriguing and powerful characters full of good intentions and who know what they want and how to get it in a world full of injustice and inequality. Lots of action, suspense and heated passion that had me attentive to the details and waiting for the outcome of this exciting and intense story. I liked that there are other alphas lined up for their own stories because there are still things to figure out. Super! I voluntarily reviewed this copy I received through BookFunnel and enjoyed it.
3.5 stars. I am not a fan of this Omega centric world and the alphas who abuse their power. Penny, Thale and Logan made a good dynamic for me. Once we got past the first half which was full of unneeded filler, all revolving around Penny and the is she or isn’t she an omega thinking, we started to go somewhere but then it just stalled. The missing omegas storyline didn’t get much further forward and I’m surprised that Warren wasn’t questioned about them as he was an abuser of Omegas. The whole point of attending was to gather information which wasn’t done. So we still know little more than we did prior to this book. Liked some of the newer characters and hope to read about them too. Will be interested in reading Killian’s book to see if he finds the missing Omegas. This is my honest review of this book.
This is Penny, Thale, and Logan's story. Penny is a female Alpha. She works with Thale. Thale is an Alpha Logan is the brother to one of Penny's coworkers Bane. Logan is a Beta, with Alpha tendencies. Feelings develop between Penny and Thale during a mission. Soon after, Penny meets Logan. A love triangle forms, but both men are vying for Penny's affection alone. When Penny is unable to choose, the men agree to share. Penny has a secret that could shake up the triangle.
There is definitely a hierarchy in the series. Alpha's at the top of the food chain. Beta's are second. Omega's are at the bottom and rare. But Omega's are also highly coveted and needed to create more Alpha's and Omega's.
I received an advanced reader copy of this book and am leaving a voluntary review.
I am short of time. I love it. Penny, is an omega that has been tested as an Alpha. She is a cop. Logan is a beta who could be mistaken as an Alpha. Thale is an Alpha. Both want Penny & agree to share her. Penny is afraid someone will find out about her being an omega. She & Thale have been guarding a couple omegas. They find out they have been kidnapped while they were off duty. They believe the slavery ring is formed in the rich neighborhood Thale's family is from. Nobody knows about it. He has a wedding invitation to it. He & a couple of others will be able to get in. His brother seems to know what Penny is. He tries to trap her & claim her for himself. She decides to press charges so he can't hurt anyone again. Penny, Logan & Thale get married later. I love it! It is a great story!
The concepts for Alpha-Beta-Omega existing on a spectrum made this book a bit more intriguing. The plotline, however, seemed to have dropped by the end of the book. What happened to the original goal of the sting operation? Did they manage to find the kidnapped girls? Why was the Colonel able to initiate the Omega presentation, and not her two lovers? Yes, the plotline seemed to have dropped by the end.
On the plus side, I really liked Sean. He was the suavest, yummiest Beta w/ an Alpha streak, and I was so looking forward to the way he made love and what he was planning to do with those handcuffs. Too bad we didn't get enough of that.
Looking forward to book #6. I'm guessing where that one is going, and I may really like that.

Loads of action, suspense and a romance that sizzles in this newest release that doesn’t disappoint. In a world filled with Alpha, Beta and Omega, Thale, Logan and Penny may be the strongest there is. But as Penny struggles to get in her Alpha role, her other side brings out the unexpected as she finally lets Logan and Thale in and what happens next was an explosive combination that will leave you wanting more. I love the fierce, alpha characters that doesn’t quit when they know what is meant for them and in the end they find their HEA but not until drama and danger surrounds them. An exciting and intense addition to the series and I can’t wait for more!
Woo hoo! Omega’s Choice is hot, hot, hot! It takes place in a futuristic society (after WW3!) that includes menages and packs. Aggressive alphas, sexy omegas, and versatile betas make for a lot of choices for sex partners. But, it’s not all about sex. Thale, Penny, and Logan also love and care for each other. (No MM) You’ll love their story.
Make sure you have ample time to finish before you start. I couldn't put it down. Grab your copy QUICK. You won’t be sorry…

This 5th book in the Alpha Security Company series is as intense as it gets. What with macho alphas (both good and very bad), a very resourceful beta, and oh so sexy tough female the reader can't get a better addition to this series. The mutual attraction btw Penny, Thale, and Logan are extremely passionate. Throw in the hunt for a rogue alpha and all the dangers involved in that hunt and a reader has a fascinating read ahead of them. A marvelous surprise is also disclosed. I got a free read from this author via Bookfunnel and I'm leaving a willing and voluntary review.
Mina Carter is one of my favorite authors, not only because she's a phenomenal storyteller with interesting plots and intriguing characters but because her books are always safe reads [no manwhore heroes and strong, confident and likable heroines] but this entire series is a huge disappointment for me. Not even past the first chapter and I'm reading about the one H's body reacting to other women and the other H's "endless" one nightstands since meeting the heroine. This just doesn't seem like authors usual style.
Penny who has had several tests done that put her as an alpha female. She joined the military and works for Dante & Mason. Thale also works for Mason & Dante & cannot get enough of Penny. Always looking at her with longing.
Logan Shaw, Banes older brother. Boy does sounds delicious lol
Thale & Logan get into a fight over Penny at Bane & Willows wedding. The rest of this story is so good !! I really enjoyed the series !
This series just keeps getting better and better…I wish I could could give this one more than five stars! We finally get a book on Penny and her two lovers Thale and Logan. I was just floored by how Carter wove the story of a female alpha. I love strong female characters and you are not disappointed here. The romance was hot and I loved how two strong men compromised to have her in their lives, a pack. I can’t wait for the next book. Download and enjoy❤️❤️❤️
What a powerful emotional read. It felt like I was pulling my hair out. White knuckles. You name it I had it. That's how intense this series is. It just blows my mind. It keeps getting better and better.
Penny, Logan and Thale are all Alphas in their own right. They are possessive of each other and will do anything to protect their bond. I am beyond words how much adrenaline flowed through me while I was reading it.
This twisty character driven tale features a smart independent female with secrets and two males that will do anything for her, even share her. Yes the alphas are possessive and can rage at seemingly small things, but they are protective of all omegas, at least most of them are. Dynamics tell this world who people are, but are they clearly definable? Big baddies and family drama threaten their new relationship, can these three have their HEA? Couldn’t put down this sexy heartfelt read.
This is such a great book! I love how the author is expanding the omega dynamic. No spoilers, but this is such an exciting direction, I can't wait to see where it goes. Penny is an alpha through and through. Alpha females need a pack to properly care for them. She is attracted to two men. One infuriates her, the other makes her feel precious and desired. Add to that one is an Alpha, one is a Beta. Oh, and they really don't like each other!
I love having a female mc that is alpha no matter what. She may be small but she can take on the biggest and win. The story has several great characters. Thale and Logan just add the tension that we all want. Penny will surprise everyone, including herself. Expect lots of alphas that you will love and love to hate. So can’t wait to see some of the side characters get their own stories.
Excellently written with unexpected twists, this will keep you wondering how it all plays out until the last page! Penny's story is highly emotional which becomes harder to hide when she becomes involved with Thane and Logan while trying to solve who is kidnapping unmated Omegas. Heart-poundingly delicious! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book.
I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait for more set in this world. The ASC is so dynamic and keeps you guessing each and every time. Penny is a wonderful character and I was absolutely surprised with what happened. I was definitely hot under the collar throughout. Now I am intrigued to find out where the next book is going to take us.
This book is full of unexpected twists, that kept me wondering how everything was going to play out right up until the last page. Penny's story is unusual in that she's a female alpha, it's also somewhat emotional the more involved she becomes with Thane and Logan while trying to discover who is kidnapping unmated Omegas.
It's a different read than I've read before but I did find it enjoyable.
Love the twist of the misdiagnosed dynamics. I believe that Logan is an Alpha and something will tr8gger his real personnel to emerge. They still have the girls to find. I think that Thane's brother is involved with kidnapp od Beta to turn them into Omegas.
Omega’s Choice was fantastic! Fast, emotional and fun! Penny has been hiding the fact that she is an omega her whole life. She starts up a relationship with alpha Thale and beta Logan.They think she is an alpha and that they are beginning to forming a pack with. Drama ensues.
What a well written storyline, the characters are great. The story keeps you entertained until the end. I can't wait to read more from this author. I received this book as a Free ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
