4.75
This is a 4.75 for me. This was such a fun read and I loooooved Miller and if I were to choose a book BF it would be miller. He was the perfect blend of possessive, a little dark with the stalking and how far he took it sometimes, but it literally was to watch over her and take care of her every desire not in a way to stifle her. Unlike her family who I get it they went through a major trauma and were overprotective even before the accident but oh my god you would think she was still 13 with the way they were treating her. Like the idea of her moving out to live with her GFs sent her mother into a literal panic attack and her mates would stunt their daughter for the comfort of their mate. The "adults" her parents and brother need serious therapy. Like what the brother accused Miller his best friend of when he found out was horrible and just shows how they truly saw their daughter. Now Posie was an absolute sweetheart who was wrapped in cotton locked in a cage basically suffocating and my heart just broke for her because as an omega she is on the softer side and wants to please her family and keep them happy and not upset them but at the same time she is doing everything she can to push the limits they have set on her and be her own grown ass woman.
Now the two of them were just so cute bc anyone with eyes in their head who aren't deliberately being obtuse can see how much these two liked each other. Like it was not subtle but with her condition it was hard for her to believe in her heart and what it wanted, and Miller didn't want to just tell her bc you know "trust me bro" wouldn't have worked with her. So, to overcompensate he would stalk her, and it was just so cute. Then once they got together and she was allowed to spread her wings finally bc yes Miller was overprotective and possessive, but he was overprotective/possessive in a way to put things in place so that she could safely do whatever she wanted. He was just all about spoiling her in a very over the top manner once he was allowed to and keeping her safe which like goals.
loved the book and characters and I had such a fun time reading it that I finished it in a day. I can't wait to see what the author writes next because I really have enjoyed the books so far in this series.
So, this book is about Posie who was in a car accident when she was younger which resulted in the loss of her sense of smell. As an omega in a world where scents are so important the loss of this sense has affected every part of her life with dating and her confidence. So, she has been focusing on her growing jewelry business, college and her girl squad. So, she has sworn off alphas because what is the point if she can't see if they are her scent match as well her tiny obsession with her brother's best friend who is a catcher for the local professional baseball team. The thing is he hates her and for good reason because other than being the little sister of his best friend, she is the reason why in the same car crash that took her sense of smell that his parents were killed. So, she knows that nothing will come of her crush. That is until Miller comes barreling back into her life with sweet words that stir her heart and body leading to a kiss that has him claiming they are scent match mates but how can she be sure when she can't smell his scent. Well, she better figure it out fast because that kiss triggered her first heart and the only person she wants to help her through it.

Miller is such a perfect book boyfriend. He's protective, loyal, a baseball catcher and just a bit of a stalker. Posie is fun and fierce. Her besties Emma and Mari are so loyal and supportive. The plot and spice was great. I'm new to omegaverse and I can't wait to read more.

Ah! Loved this story. I actually didn’t know there was a term for when someone couldn’t smell so this was an interesting fact. I feel like I could relate to Posie in some way because I also can’t smell! However, I do still have the ability to taste.
Anyway! I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I loved that Miller was so over-the-top protective of Posie all while allowing her the space to come to him on her own terms. And Posie, while unable to smell, had a feeling in the back of her mind that she belonged to Miller…she just had so much trauma that she needed to work through and Miller of course, was more than happy to help break down those walls.

What a sweet, fun, lighthearted, spicy read! If you love omegaverses and obsessed MMCs and longing, then this book is for you!
THOUGHTS 💭
⚾️ Miller is a possessive, grumpy, protective Alpha who is obsessed with his best friend’s little sister. Though he’s the “Alpha” in charge, Miller is a simp for Posie, which I loved.
⚾️ Posie is coming into her own; she’s been under her parents’ and brother’s thumbs since a terrible accident in her teen years and she’s finally decides to seek the freedom she craves.
⚾️ I enjoy reading about supportive, loving friend groups in my books!
⚾️ There is secret longing and pining on both sides of Miller and Posie’s relationship - Posie thinks her brother’s best friend dislikes her and Miller thinks Posie is indifferent to him. In the end, they’re a perfect match for each other.
⚾️ The breaking point was E X C E L L E N T! 🥵 Both of our MCs are v!rg!ns and I loved watching them navigate what they like during intimacy.
Thanks so much to Ellie Exton for the ARC of this book!

Excuse me while I make room on my book boyfriend list for Miller!
Ellie Exton has created a sports romance that includes spice and the realities of working through trauma.
There were a few moments where details seemed lost. However, the way in which Miller was written makes up for it all.

Miller, the male alpha lead, has known that Posie, the female omega lead and Miller’s best friend’s little sister, is his scent-matched mate for seven years, since she transitioned due to the stress of the car accident that killed his parents and left her with anosmia (the inability to smell) but she was only a young teen at the time. Because of the anosmia, Miller doesn’t know how to introduce their scent match to Posie.
Posie has been attracted to Miller for years but thinks he leaves the room when she enters because he hates her for causing the death of his parents. Her parents have been overprotective since the accident but she’s decided it’s time for her to move out and start living. Miller is happy to see Posie breaking out of the parent-inflicted shell and he’s determined to help her in any way she needs, whether she knows about or wants his help. When Posie becomes aware of the scent match, she happily accedes to it. Now they just need to convince her brother this is a good thing…
This story is dual POV, well written, and a sweet and steamy, brother’s best friend, omegaverse sports romance. I enjoyed Miller’s fidelity and devotion to Posie, and admired and appreciated his patience in waiting for her. I enjoyed Posie’s character development, and her determination to make her own choices and have them respected. I enjoyed the relationship development. I enjoyed the steamy intimate scenes. I enjoyed the supportive family and friends.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and this is my voluntary honest review.
