I’m a big fan of Miranda May and omega verse books. This one is a novella that sets up book two of her ‘heated’ series. It’s a stand-alone that doesn’t end in HEA/HFN - that occurs in book two, which can also be read as a standalone, but is better if you start with book one. 

This book intertwines all of the characters feelings about one another while spending time in bed during a heat that came early. The FMC is forced to stay with the pack, but she quickly decides staying isn’t so bad after all. The pack members are written well and you can easily tell who is who - they are all unique individuals which you don’t always see in RH books. 

There are no grammatical errors - May is always sure to edit her books well!

Another nice read from this author! This book’s MMC is hinted at him being a mafia boss or something along those lines, a trope I don’t usually enjoy. There is only minor on page violence, nothing too graphic or over the top. The two MCs meet and quickly get together between the sheets, and they then become emotionally attached as well. The MMC is a mild typical Daddy but no LG scenes, just dom scenes (minor) and the MMC taking care of her. She struggles a bit before she lets him take care of her. If you mainly enjoy sweet verse like me, this will still be in your comfort zone. 

I greatly enjoyed Nicky’s story. I did feel like there’s a minor plot hole that never gets resolved. There’s lots of steam, but it’s more about the relationships between characters than the hot scenes. 

I really enjoyed this book, much more than I was expecting. The characters are great, and I identified with the FMC right away. The pace is a little slow for me, but moves along quicker the second half of the book. I love the quirkiness of the magic in this world, a big part of which I’ve never seen in another paranormal house. 

 I would have given the book five stars except for the giant plot hole at the end of the book. 

Bully romance which I can’t read
