 This book exceeded my expectations! I was in the mood for a werewolf/omegaverse book and this book delivered. I loved these four together and I thought Josie's men were so sweet and understanding throughout the entire book. Josie has been through so much in her life that even though she is dropped into any woman's dream, she can't really appreciate it. And throughout the book we learn more and more what she went through and that even her men went through some terrible things.

I can see why some people didn't like this book. I feel like you have to be in the mood for this book to really enjoy it. I mean if you read an omegaverse book then there are just certain cheesy things that come with it. One thing that really bothered me was the amount of apologizing for things that wasn't the person's fault and how insecure Josie was throughout the entire book. At some points her insecurity just got to be a little too much for me.

What to expect:
~ Plus size FMC
~ 3 hot cinnamon roll boyfriends
~ Protective alphahole boyfriend
~ British accent
~ A man who reads romance books
~ A man who knits blankets for his girl

You know ....I downloaded this book seeing a small passage on TikTok. I managed to read a 500 some page novel in under 24 hours.

This book at times reads very Wattpad-y and could have used another edit or two for being so repetitive, like we get it Josie has self-esteem issues, but beyond that it's a really solid romance book with a sci-fi/dystopian subplot that kept me glued to my seat.

Onto the next one!
