This is one of the best OmegaVerse books I have ever read
This review is for the duet books - Book 1 Denied - Book 2 Devoted
so probably some minor Sp!olers
Note before we start this is a BRFSR (book read for a specific reason). I know it is not the cup of tea of everyone, but I am a coffee girl, so Fck yeah it is my jam.

⚜ spice 1/2🌶 book 1 🌶 🌶book 2 (yep, not a lot of spice in this one which I loved because it allowed the plot to flow
⚜ rating: overall 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟although I wanted more grovel in book 2 but I am satisfied
⚜standalone: as a duet yes. Book 1 ends at a cliffhanger obviously
⚜Ending: HEA
what I loved about this book are the females (obviously not the OW), Sienna and Jess who are best friends
Sienna the main FL is a kind submissive Omega who, like all Omegas, dreams of her home with her pack. She is excited to learn that not only was she matched with the strongest pack, the Cohens, but they were also her Fated Bonds, a rare occurrence in their world.
After the hurt and betrayal they put her through, she did not give in to their apologies. As a matter of fact, she was willing to die from separation rather than get back with them. She fought them at every turn. If it weren't for her best friend, Jess, she wouldn't have allowed them to save her life. And even after that, she did not take it easy on them.
I enjoyed the cute delicious revenge she bestowed on them too.
Jess, though a side character, was everything I wanted in a best friend. that friend that when they see you hurt will bring the shovel and the body bag. She is a spitfire and a wildcat. I absolutely loved the way she put the pack in their place, how she supported her best friend, and how she also got her HEA.
The pack, Tristan, Jax, Logan and Gray, oh lordy! For a strong fearless Alphas, they really were stupid. Tristan, as the pack leader, kept making one wrong decision after the other, and they, like sheep, followed him, untill it was too late and they lost their Omegas.
As I said, this book is read for specific reasons. As the hurt/grovel junkie I am, it was perfect for me
