A sweet poly omegaverse romance, Nicky and the Night Owls Part Two focuses on the day-to-day life of a poly pack, their individual and group dynamics, and a HEA with babies! Lots of babies. There is virtually no angst, but you do see the pack members battle real-world issues, such as feeling insecure, inadequate, lost, and needy. What I love so much about this duet is how the pack deals with these issues in a mature, realistic manner, using healthy communication and focusing on strengthening each other as a whole. No one is singled out.
This is a true poly relationship with all pack members involved together. They show physical affection, emotional support, and steadfast devotion to each and every member of their pack. While, as a group, they are inclusive, they also spend time focusing on their individual relationships.
 
The heat is molten hot right out the gate, averaging a scene every chapter or so. With a varied group, and many members having unique tastes, there is no shortage of sexual experiences. One of my favorite sequences involves hot wax and restraints, but Jasper’s heat sequence might take the top billing, with Nicky taking her first knots and everyone falling under the omega fog. The book has single pairings and many different group combinations, including MF, MM, and FF interactions. 
 
Nicky was such a great duet. It is perfect if you are looking for a sweet omegaverse, healthy relationships within the pack, and very mild drama.

To say I have been waiting for this book with great excitement is an understatement. I loved book one, and the final chapter had me desperate to get my hands on book two. 

Now first - if you don’t like babies in your books, or breeding, then this book isn’t for you. But Sierra is great in that she warns you at the end of book 1 that there’s going to be a baby plot line in book two, so you don’t read the final chapter with the cliffhanger. So, even if you don’t like babies/breeding/both don’t let that stop you from reading Part 1!

Having said all that, I love babies and a bit of breeding kink and wow does this book deliver!!

This book opens with Nicky being happy with her new found lovers, when suddenly she and one of her lovers gets pulled into an investigation. This book has a great storyline with brilliant pacing. Something I really enjoyed was how all the relationships in the pack developed, and how good they were at communicating (no ‘misunderstanding trope’). Bonus for all the bonding, breeding and the ‘happily ever after’. 

I loved reading this book/series so much. The main characters are just perfection, and the side characters are so well written - I can’t wait to read their stories!

If you love omegaverse and why choose romance books then I highly recommend this one.

A wonderful, spicy conclusion to this duet!

Get ready for high emotions and DRAMA in book two of Nicky’s story! And don’t forget the heat! With scenes that will leave you reading one handed, pairings we hadn’t gotten to experience in book one, and all of the delicious kn🪢tting a romance reader could hope for!

The pack gets even closer after the events at the end of book one. While we have new/continuing issues to deal with, watching them grow and experience new things together was so sweet and soft! It paired perfectly with the spicy scenes to create an enjoyable, captivating read!

I look forward to getting to read more stories set in this world!
