Merissa (11961 KP) rated How To Train Your Human Omega (Coveted Bonds #1) in Books
Mar 20, 2024
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR HUMAN OMEGA is the first book in the Coveted Bonds series. We start with Clay in space. He's a pilot and is currently helping a group of scientists investigate a wormhole. Arcay is an Aldar - a seven-foot-tall purple alien. As soon as Arcay sees Clay, he knows he is an omega and wants to claim him. He kidnaps Clay and takes him back to the Aldar ship. And then the fun starts...
This was a great read, easy to follow, and with a reenactment of one of my favourite scenes from Beauty and the Beast! The cultural and language misunderstandings are amusing, as well as the inner monologues. There are also some darker topics mentioned, so be warned.
There were some parts left loose, so I'm hoping there will be an ongoing arc throughout the series. A great start to a new series that I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely recommended by me.

This is my first time reading a book by Jennifer Pierce and I really enjoyed the way she wove her suspenseful story! I was hooked from the very first chapter by the plight of the main character, I mean imagine being on the run at eight months pregnant! The characters were well done, easy to get to know, and both had good character depth for the length of the story. I thought it was a very well written book with interesting twists and turns that kept my interest easily.
It is the second book in a series, but I read it without reading the first book and wasn’t lost at all, but I am going to go back and read the first book since I liked this one so much.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the great mystery/suspense, for the character's interactions, and for leaving me anticipating the next book!

This book started off well and I really enjoyed it until the 2 characters got together. It was ok at first but then the book got a boring. It seems like it was repeating itself and the book didn't seem to go anywhere after that for quite a few chapters. I stuck with it.
I didn't realise the book was part of a series and I would read the second book but I am a bit worried that the same thing is going to happen in the second book.
The book is not a genre I would normally read but the blurb caught my attention and I am glad I gave it a read.
I found the lives the characters lived interesting.
The story did make me think about things such as deja vu. The things the author wrote did make sense.
The audience I would say if for late teens to late 20's.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

This well written story kept my interest from beginning to end and the characters are all unique and jump right out of the pages. Lisa is my favorite character and little by little she realizes that things are often not as they seem. I look forward to reading the second book in this series!!

this was the second in the series and it was just as good if not better than the first! you are thrown right back into the story and the depth that comes is so enveloping. I would be surprised if someone didn't finish the book the same day they started just to know what happens!

Still loving the series sooo much!!! This book just felt more dragged out than the others.. still loved it but it took me longer to get through as certain parts just didn’t have me as captivated as the rest.
Upon second read id give it 10/10 if you skip certain chapters (which I did) ?

I'd heard a lot about this series so I was excited to be given a chance to review it but I didn't think it really lived upto the hype. The book was enjoyable and although I liked the characters i felt they needed more work. The only thing I didn't like was the abrupt ending.
