Plus Two by Jillian West

4 Stars

Melody waited ten years for her boyfriend to bond with her and get her pregnant. It was made clear to her after she caught him flirting, he was never going to be all in with her, so she put herself into the Omega Exchange. She’s sent to the hotel to meet packs and see if she can meet her forever pack. What she wasn’t anticipating was finding her fated mates Nikolas, Oliver, and Maxim. They help her through her heat but then life is thrown a curve ball. Will they be able to weather the storm?

Loved this book. Small angst but not too big drama. FMC finds her scent match after waiting 10 years for her boyfriend dragged his feet to commit. He’s a massive dick but her mates are super sweet to her. He does get better by the end of the book but they just weren’t good together. I love the interplay between the ex and all the main characters. I also loved the story with the FMC mom. I did want some more backstory with all of the characters but that’s a me issue. Overall, it was a quick and spicy read.

Knot Your Life by Jarica James

 

3 Stars

I’ve finally found my pack and leaving those who rejected me behind. It was all too good to be true and now those who rejected me are coming to town to stir up trouble. Can my new pack survive the newest issues?

It hasn’t been that long since I read book one and I was getting the guys confused. I don’t know if the names were that similar or the group of guys was just that large but I struggled. After the first book and how it ended, I was a bit disappointed with this one. It felt like the author couldn’t figure out where she was going and was throwing things out there hoping something would stick. Like in book one you hate her parents but in two it’s explained away. Same with some of the other characters. They were horrible but now they’re all good. There were also a couple of things left hanging but otherwise the main plot was concluded nice ish.

Last Single Girl by Bria Quinlan

3 Stars

Sarah has one month to find a date or show her inner circle she’s the last single girl. It can’t be that hard to find someone right. There’s four weeks to find Mr. Right.

This was a short and sweet romance. Nothing is done on page and very much a fade to black. It was a nice pallet cleanse from some of the books I’ve been reading. The different dates were funny to read. The one thing that frustrated me was the fact the FMC let her friends push her around so much and I don’t find out if they get theirs in the end. Maybe with book 2 we will find out.

Pack Rival Part Two by Hannah Haze

4 Stars

The feud between the packs cost them the omega they all wanted. Now they will need to work together to win her back and treat her the way they should have all along. Will Bea ever forgive them?

I love a good redemption book and this one didn’t fail. The guys do work through their differences and agree on ways to make it up to her. I always feel like more could be done on the grovel front but it was enough not to tick me off. It was a nice conclusion to book one but it probably could have been edited down a bit and been one book.

Deserving Henley by Susan Stoker

3 Stars

Henley has spent her years and life to shape her into a conscientious psychologist. She spends her days at the Refuge helping victims with their trauma and her nights with her daughter Jasna. She has a very fulfilling life if not lonely. She loves her bosses, even the most standoffish one Finn “Tonka” Matlick. He had his coast guard career end and spent the last several years building up the Refuge. When life brings them together, they think they are finally getting everything they want. What they aren’t aware of is someone who’s out to get Henley. Will they figure it out before it’s too late?

This one wasn’t one of my favorites. I didn’t feel the connection between FMC and Finn. The bad guy was an interesting choice, and I would have liked to see it fleshed out more. Without spoilers I don’t know if they weren’t fleshed out because of who they were or if that was how Stoker intended them to be. The final confrontation with him was very anticlimactic. I liked the idea of this book but that’s about it.

Book 2 The Refuge

Pack Rival Part One by Hannah HazePack Rival Part One by Hannah Haze

 

4 Stars

After catching her soon to be husband with someone else Bea wants a fresh start in the city. As a beta she has options available. While working a catering job she perfumes for the first time. Accused of lying about being a beta to get the job she’s rushed out before chaos can happen. She is 100% sure she’s not an omega no matter what anyone tells her. Now she has two of the cities richest and most powerful alphas vying for. When secrets are revealed who will she choose?

I liked this different take on Alpha/Beta/Omega. FMC has always thought she was beta until she meets her fated mate alpha and she switches to omega. I loved seeing her struggle because everyone would struggle with the change. The book does end on a cliffhanger which is why I waited until both were out to read. At this point it does sort of make sense to have a cliffhanger on this book because of the push and pull between both packs vying for FMC but we will see after book 2. Definitely give it a shot to see guys being a dick who hopefully grovel so good in book 2.

Better-Off Bunny by Sedona Ashe

4 Stars

The bunnies are under the wolves’ protection and have been for years. They’ve never taken an interest in their mating habits until she came into their lives. One chance meeting is all it took for the wolves to know she was their everything but what bunny is going to want to be surrounded by wolves. They would terrify her. They were determined to leave her alone until they saw what the burrows had planned for her. All bets are off. No one hurts their mate.

100% would read again and recommend this if you are looking for a funny and bit weird shifter romance. I loved that the Monroe was a bunny and her fated mates were all wolves. There is bullying but only in the bunny community and the wolves do not bully their mate. In fact they get all growly and protective with her when they find out. It was an awesome read. This was also spicy. I can’t wait to see what book 2 will bring.
