Sexy! I do love the orgy scenes. Wow. This book had like 50% more sex than the first one. And boy, was it hot!
I also enjoyed the fall of Lola’s walls as one by one she let herself into the pack and into each guy’s bond. She really came so far from the scared little beta who was always beating herself up mentally at the beginning of book one. I like a book where the characters can be sexually and emotionally fulfilled.
Ending was pure cheese, but I do love the Leo/Lola dynamic and I’m so proud of her for being able to come to terms with her life as a beta and her importance to the pack.

Moon shines brightest when she is doing character studies and exploring relationships. I wish she would just let her books stand on the quiet emotion of them rather than trying to bloat the plot with high action. Each of the men (minus Cyrus) had their own interesting flaws and soft spots that I would have rather seen explored than adding in an undertone of danger. There was a natural ending to the story when Lola got back from visiting Baby. We didn’t need another 150 pages.
Honestly, we didn’t need Cyrus, the seeming reason that it didn’t end at that point. He felt like a convenient NPC to pull out as a background distraction for whatever character couldn’t have Lola’s attention at the time. Their relationship felt forced in a way none of the others did. He felt woefully underbaked and often slowed the flow. He straight up ruined the beautifully sweet scenewhere Caleb bonded with Lola by pulling her attention immediately back to him in a complete tonal shift that cheapened the depth of the previous scene.
I will also note that while sex is talked about *a lot* in these books, it’s generally not done on page. There is maybe one on-page scene every 75 pages and only one of them in this book is more than Lola and a single partner. I think that is also shown in the way relationships play out in these books too. Lola spends more time talking one on one with her guys than hanging out in groups which also ruins some of the natural flow because then it feels like we haven’t seen a character for a while as she rotates through each of the dudes.
Do I think this book was fun? Yes. Moon knows how to make playful books about rascally men. But I definitely think there are other why choose romances that made for better books, including some of Moon’s own work.

The ending was perfect! Only thing I didn’t like is that Caleb and Cyrus’s names are too similar for me. I was getting confused between the 2.

tropes: why choose, romance, omegaverse, y familia encontrada.
Como el primer libro, lo empecé y no lo puede soltar hasta terminarlo. Los personajes, la trama, sus relaciones entre si, todo 10/10. Hay algunas cosas que no amé. Como la relación con Cyrus, porque me pareció muy apresurada, y la trama de la revista de maquillaje porque a comparación de todo era poco interesante. Pero en general, uno de los mejores why choose que me he topado.
Creo que la autora hizo un buen trabajo con la historia de Lola, como empieza a sanar, como se ve ella misma a través de sus propios ojos. Es una historia muy real y me alegré cuando se ve el progreso que hizo.
En cuanto a la relación con todos su hombres, todo fue demasiado bello y hermoso y mi corazón no puede con tanto amor. Aunque creo que la relación con Cyrus es algo apresurada (al igual que con Caleb), al final lo pude sentir. El amor que se tienen, como se preocupan por ella, como en verdad la quieren, la aman, la necesitan. Kskdndidnnd me desmayo.
La trama relacionada con Indy me pareció interesante y traía tensión a el libro, ademas que también estaba relacionado con el camino de superación de Lola. Pero la trama con la revista me pareció muy ñeh, no había comparación entre eso y lo demás que esta pasando en el libro.
En conclusión, amé, obvio hay cosas que no son lo mejor, pero en general me parece un buen why choose para sentirse bien y pasar el rato soñando con este tipo de vida donde seis hombres te aman y harían cualquier cosa por ti.
Pd: Suelo hacer un ranking con mi why choose, pero, honestamente, aparte de saber que Cyrus es ultimo, y Caleb penúltimo, los demás son primer lugar, no puedo decidirme quien es mejor, los amo a todos.
