☆ Why choose
☆ Fated mates (bonds)
☆ College setting
☆ Who did this to you
☆ Slow burn romance
☆ Bully romance vibes
☆ Found family
This book is basically a greatest hits album of romance tropes, and honestly? I ate it up. It had me kicking my feet and yelling at fictional men like there's no tomorrow. With five MMCs, you get the whole spectrum: the golden retriever, the german shepherd, the pitbull, and a couple more flavors to round out the pack. Each one brings something to the story, so it’s easy to get swept up in the chaos and the chemistry.
The found family element was a standout. Watching the FMC build her circle of friendships felt just as satisfying as the romantic bonds. As for spice, let’s be real, this is more plot-driven than bed-breaking. There’s only a sprinkle of heat, but the story itself is strong enough to keep you hooked. It doesn’t close on a brutal cliffhanger, but there’s still enough mystery to make you grab the next book without hesitation.

Running away from the people that complete your soul, only a fucking crazy person would do that. I am that crazy person.
The alternative is to chain you the throat to the floor in my cellar.
Okay, I need a brain bleaching the second I get back to my room, because I'm definitely not going to be thinking about that domineering asshole like that, no matter what my bond thinks.
My bond is a horny, needy bitch in my chest.
