As we pick up the second installment of this series we've met Lola and all the members of the pack.
There is:
Leo - the beta who is sexy and playful
Rakim - the the Omega who is also sex but has a major puppy energy
Matthieu - the head Alpha who is urbane and romantic and sweet
These are the three that Lola developed the closest relationships with in the first book. Leo and Rake are bi and will have threesomes with Lola, Matthieu is hetero and only sleeps with Lola.
This book has her slowly creating stronger relationships with the rest of the pack:
Caleb - an Alpha, interior designer, lover of the arts and the most calming influence - he has bonded Leo and Rake and is bi
Wes - almost a loner in the pack, he is their security specialist often acts as Rake's bodyguard - he is hetero and has not bonded anyone
Cyrus - an Alpha - Lola's direct boss at the magazine and probably the one that she has the least social interaction with. He is bonded to Leo and Rake and is bi.
This book ups the ante on the crazy evil Alpha who is stalking her. And as she grows more comfortable with the pack as a whole, we see them kinda pushing her to become a full pack member but Lola's head is still entirely fucked up and she can't let go her fears about being bonded.
There is a black moment where Lola loses it completely and cuts off the pack even after having gotten closer with the rest.
But I liked the progression of the way the storyline unfolded. I am glad that 6 magial penii didn't automatically make Lola ok. She goes into therapy and she actually gets to see a good functioning pack in practice.
And I liked the little menace of Indy in the background... although it is 100% romance novel villain plot armor that allows him to do half of what he does.
Anyway the story ends on a great note, a HEA and we know that Lola has gone a great distance toward being completely healed.
Also, still lot of sex. God bless these women in these man harem books and their bionic vaginas because I could never...

I'm pretty new to omegaverse but this is good. 3/5 spice. I liked the baby and the howlers better then the lola books but still good. It is very different from the baby book. The spice scenes got repetitive. I absolutly adore wes and will read anything with him in it!
