I really enjoyed this even though the consent is often bad.
The main climax was kind of weird in that the villain’s motivation was not clear or believable, and it got resolved pretty easily.
But overall I loved the pacing and how the romance unfolded. One thing that struck me was how believable Eve’s transition was from avoidant attachment to some amount of earned security. So often it just happens in a romance like magic, and I appreciated the care and craft that went into creating people that could give her space and safety to have small doses of connection.

A female alpha who doesn’t want a pack, is not a good or kind person, bulldozes her way through and over; yes please! Finally a FMC That doesn’t make me cringe. Everybody’s damaged and there are no white knights. I was invested in all the characters.

Oh, is it me, writing another five star review for a Kathryn Moon book, despite telling everyone and their mother that I am not a fan of omegaverse stories? Yes, yes it is.
I love a strong female character, and while Eve isn't without her faults of course, she really fit that bill, both in AND out of the bedroom. The differing relationships she had with each of the men was sweet, and I love Moon reverse harems because there is always some intermingling in the harem...not just some M/M for fun, but actual relationships forming.
I think these characters weren't necessarily as developed as, say, the Lola characters (who, to be fair, had two books to be so). Rory felt a little anti-climatic, and I wish we had been privy to at least one more spice scene with him and Eve, because we got all the tension build up throughout the book and only one good payoff. But it was a little...sad?...to see him as the grumpy one who called her on her shit, and then just turn into a complete marshmallow the second after they hooked up. Jaime was also sweet and their banter was cute. Like a few other reviewers I actually didn't love Adam (the omega) but appreciate his role in the book and Eve's character development.
Books about strong/alpha women can be tricky to find, and even more in the RH world/without major BDSM-themes. So I definitely appreciate this book even more for the role it plays in that space.

Everytime I reread this book I love it more and more. Hands down my favourite omegverse book and my favourite Female Alpha. It’s also one of the only packs were I love each character, normally one always gets on my nerves but not this pack.
Another great Kathryn Moon read! I LOVED Lola and the millionaires and this book was about Eve the mercenary they hired. Definitely big on the found family trope. Seeing the change in Eve and watching her take down her walls and build relationships was great and loved the chemistry she had with each guy.
Eve is incredibly fierce, bad-ss, feminine on her own terms and time, independent... and lonely.
Every woman has had a moment (or many moments) where they want to just clean house and I'm not talking about mopping and sweeping. I'm talking lay some men out. The ones that think women should just be seen and not heard. Bare foot in the kitchen... Eve eats these kind of men for breakfast.
Along comes Adam.... Eve's world takes a mighty change with the cute omega. Add in 3 alpha men and this book packs an amazing punch!
If you're a fan of Moon's work then you've already met Eve in Lola's story.
Reader Friends, put on your seatbelt this is gonna be a bumpy ride!

I am going to be in the minority with this review but here goes…
I absolutely couldn’t stand Eve the FMC. I never felt sorry for her and I never connected with her. IMO she acted like an entitled, petulant child. The MMCs were not much better; despite being three powerful Alpha males, they crumpled at the feet of the FMC. What? These men are ex-military, special forces type ALPHA men… . and they become subservient in her presence? Eve obviously possesses a magical vajayjay capable of transforming an Alpha male into a boy.
Then Eve BONDS one of the Alphas against his will and without consent and then she laughs about it, thinking it's acceptable because he's "MINE", really? Petulant child with no thought of anyone else but herself. This is the end of my journey with this series.
