Likeable characters, but only 75% complete story
Format: Kindle
I really liked the characters introduced, but the author didn’t fully conceptualize everything. We know Lila works long hours, but despite being a college graduate we never learn anything about what she does, where she works, how much she gets paid, etc. For an omega who seemed to be able to support herself, that seemed an unusual oversight. We learn absolutely nothing about what she wants in life, either. Is she just surviving the post-college life struggle or working up to her dream job? Fiona the flamingo had more detail than some of the main characters, but she was 10/10 as good as Wendy for a side character. — spoilers ahead —- Separately, some of the plot details were contradictory, or just missing. On one page Lila and Larry were together for 18 months, on another it was 4 years. When did she even move in with him? What did she do while he was gaming? How long were she and Wendy friends for Lila to trust her like that but not know much about her? And why didn’t Lila’s alphas sue Larry to reduce Lila’s debt? Shopping seemed a weird choice pamper her without knowing more about Lila’s debt and plans to reduce it. And her alphas never even ask anything about her job, but she’s The One. Such a frustrating relationship plot hole. We never even learn anything about the alphas’ families or what they want in life either. I wish the author had written about 30 more pages fleshing out the details and showing how the alphas were just as in love with Lila’s personality as they were with her scent and body. Loved the concept, but I still feel like I read 3/4 of a book.

It's mid
Format: Kindle
There's a cute story there. The guys are sweet, but... I don't know. It's very vanilla. Not just the mediocre spicy scenes, but the whole story. It's just ok.

So good!
Format: Kindle
The regret they had was so well written and not having the FMC give in so quickly was a good change from most of these type of books.

Hardcore bullying and mistreatment to HEA
Format: Kindle
First off the men do not know she is their scent match. This does not excuse the way the treated her. These men bought her in hopes of using and unregistered Omega to get info on the Omega they might as kids.  Every single one of these characters has been abused growing up. The men think she is just some spoiled princess and their way to find someone they have been searching for. What they don't expect is to slowly find themselves drawn to her more and more but not understanding why.  These men starting acting weird and possessive but never suspected why. Once they discover the truth they have to work really hard to make it up to her. Especially after she put them in contact with the Omega they had been looking for then she ran.  I definitely felt for these men as their story was revealed. I definitely wanted to hold them and promise they were safe now.  That little surprise at the end I definitely didn't expect but it was fantastic.

Rights Didn't Balance the Wrongs
Format: Kindle
Eva was sold to a pack as an unregistered Omega by her own father. Unwanted. They wanted her as a means to an end, not for who she was. But she knows the truth. They are her scent matches. They don't realize that because of the suppressants she is on. It's better this way. They would be slaves to biology if they knew, and now she knows the truth. Eva will gain her freedom, and when she does, she will make sure they realize exactly what they lost. I love a rejected mate's story with a good redemption arc. Bring on all the groveling. This wasn't as satisfying as I had hoped for. Too much spice, too little story. There was little romance, affection, or redemption. Consent was questionable. And Eva's fears about biology weren't disproven. The Alphas were controlled by their scent match, and Eva was no better. The Alphas didn't have any character growth. It wasn't only their "Omega" but all of the women they entertained in the house. Even sitting on the couch would have sent an Omega into hysterics. The house and furniture were ruined. Wrongs were done - trafficking, abuse, captivity, dubious sexual encounters. There weren't enough rights to balance out the wrongs, so the Alphas stayed ruined. There were no swoon-worthy declarations or actions. There were some gifts and some redecorating, but most was off-page. Where was the over-the-top shopping trip and romantic gestures? Where were the intimate conversations? Did they ever gain Eva's trust? I'm not even sure "I love you's" were exchanged by everyone. Was there love or only scent? I don't know, so this story was not a success for me.
