I had a plan, and I was moving forward until the day my world was flipped upside down.

It’s a challenge I wasn’t prepared for, but one I had to face.

How do you combine the life you thought you had to the one you’re living?

One breath.

One second.

One minute.

One hour.

One day at a time, you learn to live with your unexpected bond.

OMG this was just weird. Seth meets his forever with Mara but finds out he got her best friend Amelia pregnant. Now this was before they got together so no cheating but I still have the ick cause he knew it was her friend and he wanted Mara. Amelia ends up with terminal cancer and Seth expects Mara to be all in and help him raise his kid. Mara did step up to be mom but overall the book was just meh.

Omega Lost by CT Rhames

2.75 Stars

I had the perfect pack. Until I wasn’t enough for them.

Omegas are supposed to be cherished. Protected. Loved.

I thought I was—until my pack found their true scent match and threw me away like I meant nothing.

They sent me to the Reassignment Center, where rejected omegas are supposed to find new packs. But omegas like me don’t get fairy-tale endings.

We get two choices:

A low-class pack that no one else wants.

The heat dens—where omegas are used until there’s nothing left of them.

After nine months in hell, I’ll take any pack that will have me. Even if they’re dangerous. Even if they live outside the law.

They claim I’m their scent match. But I’ll never make the mistake of giving my heart away again.

This was a weird one. I wanted to like it more as I liked aspects of it and the idea was there. But the actual book needed work. There was no world or character development. Add in the book being all over the place it was a pass for me.

While We’re Young by K.L. Walther

 2.75 Stars

Grace, Isa, and Everett used to be an inseparable trio before their love lives became a tangled mess. For starters, Grace is secretly in love with Everett, who used to go out with Isa before breaking her heart in the infamous Freshman Year Fracture. And, oh yeah, no one knows that Isa has been hanging out with James, Grace’s brother—and if Grace finds out, it could ruin their friendship.
With graduation fast approaching, Grace decides an unsanctioned senior skip day in Philadelphia might be just what they need to fix things. All she has to do is convince Isa to help her kidnap Everett and outmaneuver James, who’s certain his sister is up to something.
In an epic day that includes racing up the famous Rocky steps, taste-testing Philly's finest cheesesteaks, and even crashing a wedding, their secrets are bound to collide. But can their hearts withstand the wreckage?

There was so much repeated in this book because everything had to be explained from each characters POV and there were four of them. I got really tired of reading the same thing over and over again. The idea was there and the writer has written amazing stories. This one just didn’t work for me.

Claimed for Their Pleasure by LV Lane

2.75 Stars

For as long as I can remember, Brandon has been my obsession. But the shifter warrior had far higher standing in the clan and barely noticed me.

Until one day he did, and everyone assumed we would wed.

Then war arrived and brought a forgotten Alpha back into my life.

Gage, the mysterious warrior I found injured in the woods. Son of a clan king, he is also our enemy.

I can’t deny that I want Gage.

But I want Brandon too.

Then I revealed ...

Now both men want me.

Once again, war is coming, only this time ... it is over me.

I struggled with reading this one because the pacing was just off. Add in me bing reading all of them I didn’t need a recap of book 1 which is several chapters in this book. Once the book picked up about halfway through I enjoyed the reading. Brandon and Gage working together to please Jessa even though they sort of want to kill each other was a fun read.
