1.5 stars but rounded up because I didn’t hate it completely. Too much telling, not enough showing. Also, leaps were made that were so illogical it took me right out of the plot. Yes, I realize this is Omegaverse and not real, but polyamory is a real life thing and has been written better than this.

I really wanted to love this book more  but I just didn’t. Which sucked because I loved Heat Haven (by these Authors) but I had a hard time getting through this one. Mainly because nothing really happens plot wise. Vera meets her pack and it’s very insta-lovey but I wanted to know why Vera had an aversion to alphas. It was touched upon in this book but we don’t get a lot of information. I also wanted to know  more about the different members of the  pack. Hopefully in part 2 we learn more about their backgrounds and the plot picks up.

I think with practice this writing pair will sort out some of the kinks that left the writing feeling stifled. I’m not sure if they took turns writing chapters or povs but I would not be surprised if they did. The story was sweet. I do think with the writing struggles it would have done with maybe one less character and fleshing out the side plot a little more but overall a pretty could book

This book was really good. It starts out with Vera our FMC whose is an omega but hates her designation and doesn't let it limit her from being able to pursue her career as a professional soccer player. Vera has a strong distrust of alphas due to multiple situations in her past. When she trades to a soccer team in Vegas she initially is very wary of these new alphas that she meets. Although she is strongly attracted to them and find their pack dynamics to be refreshing she still has a lot of trauma and insecurity that she is grappling with. Overall this story was well written and I'm looking forward to the next book to get some more back story of the harem as well as the resolution of the pack relationship. I found Vera to be a compelling FMC she was strong but still had believable weaknesses that made her really relatable. The spicy scenes are well written and don't feel like they are just there to be there they feel really natural. I really liked how the nonbinary Character Gus was portrayed and how the pack is so accepting. I really like this Harem they all have their own little quirks but I can see why she would feel comfortable with them. I do wish that they had opened up more on paper to flesh out their relationship a little more before the love declarations began but that's just a personal preference.
