A first Hoyt I read that had eating it from the back AND I LIVEEEEEE. This book was FERAL even for Hoyt and I can't get enough of the hero and heroine being their basest and letting their inner animals out.

Ayyy valentine's day special. We got 3 separate stories of a scheming actress doing what it takes to be a big star, a pining brother-in-law and a take advantage step-daddy. I love it, they're all smashing and also hilarious.

Hmmm, bonkers premise aside, I didn't buy much into their insta love. I suppose the hero got bonked on the head so he's dazed and confused. The heroine was desperate so that explained her instalove but it didn't feel organic and was abrupt. I wish it was more flushed out cause the circumstances they found themselves in was interesting.

Thanks to Chloe Maine for the review copy and this is my honest review.

What an action packed duet, absolutely delightful end to end. I love all the fierce women in this, kicking ass and being capable af. And the pack, oh they're too much, so sweet and feral for their ass-kicking omega.

Fooking Elena Dawne has done it again. This was inspired. I loved everything about it. The hero is so gone for her in the most basest, most primal ways and he's so tortured and didn't think he's worthy. Heroine is sassy and goes after what she wants and that's the beastly man who reads books she recommends and teaching romance heroes a thing or two about eating properly.

As the last of the dragon shifters, the heroine felt the pressure of saving the shifters race heavily on her shoulders. She can't even be with the wolf daddy who is her mate because dragons bind in hordes of 3+, so if she binds with him early, there may be dire consequences. 

The heroine and hero1 have this push and pull until hero2 entered the picture with his puppy dog eyes and eagerly waiting with his caged cock. Then broody shadow daddy hero3 winnowed into the picture, with his rejected-mate, enemies of my people status, and an unique peen. Now they got a complicated horde brewing, baby.

The world is a combination of the dystopian paranormal with shifter omegaverse sprinkled with politics between different shifter races. The shifters aren't finding their mates and not enough omegas being born so their shifter race is dying. The tortured dragoness heroine and her witch bestie who runs a kink club for the wolves to get their rut out in a safe and monitored environment so they don't turn feral. 

I adored the rutting club setting and the overall spiciness but felt it didn't push far enough for my liking, however this book has done a good set up for the series and I would definitely read the sequels.

Thanks to Sirena Song for the review copy and this is my honest review.

Ahhhhh!! Can't stop, I gotta start part 2 but this was so enjoyable. I loved the kick ass heroine and her family. The dystopian world and their mandated matching system is the big bad and ED is doing something interesting with omegaverse that I am finding very refreshing. The 3 heroes feel distinctive and I enjoy their dynamics and interactions a lot.

I love this!! The darling hero1 is an amazing mofo, I'm in love and also hero2 is slimeball trapped in purple velvet so of course I love him too. It's an unfortunate story of a man who inherited a bookshop and all the mysterious intrigues that came with it, what a joyful ride.

I enjoyed the audiobook but did have to rewind couple of times to catch the words cause accents.

This was such a fun time, I didn't write down many notes cause I was engrossed. I wrote down two things: spice before 10% and love how the heroes shove each other out of the way to get to the heroine (it's adorable).

I recommend reading the Dylan St. James duet first before reading this book, I ended up binging the duet after this read and was like oooooooooh when the gaps were filled in. It does work as a standalone, but the heroine's brothers were the heroes for the prequels so I missed some background information and all the side characters already appeared previously. Also the duet has the heroine's origin story, as it were, on why she wanted to be such a badass.

The heroine is competent, self assured and sassy, as well as bull headed and staunchly refused to be an obedient omega being forced into an arranged courtship. She went out and had a hot one night stand with these bikers who turned out to be our heroes. It's action-packed and a great time, with care taking, sauciness, sweet family dynamics.

I recommend this series wholeheartedly, I think ED is doing something interesting with the omegaverse setting and these heroines won't take being submissive omegas lying down.

Thanks to Elizabeth Dear for the review copy and this is my honest review. The whole series can be found on KU and Seraphina Bryce is available now.
