Instead of letting things come across naturally by the character's actions and thoughts we're told exactly what the interactions mean which ended up becoming overly wordy and repetitive.
The whole drama with the OW was extremely annoying. Why was Eddy taking a 'friend' he knew had romantic interest in him to his house when they had made their intentions clear about wanting him and he didn't reciprocate those feelings? Why did it say in Darcy's POV that Eddy's eyes lingered on the sway of the OW's hips if he was supposed to be unfazed and uninterested ???? When did he even get Darcy's necklace back when he only kicked the OW out of his house ?? There was nothing about him demanding she remove the necklace??
I can appreciate a shy, introverted and unsure character but Eddy just didn't appeal to me at all even with the author telling me exactly the connection he felt with Darcy I still felt like it was lukewarm and not as intense as a fated mate pull should feel like.
Why were they waiting to bond???? Why not talk about it ??? Did Darcy's heat go away because of the drugs he was given or because of the trauma he suffered??? That whole plot of unbounded omegas being in danger was so OTT and didn't fit into the rest of the story at all IMO.
The spicy scenes also felt disjointed and weird.
What I did like: ♥︎Both virgins. Eddy especially was saving himself for his fated mate. ♥︎Raven shifter. Darcy was cute, basically wooing Eddy by leaving him gifts. ...more

They spent a lot of time together and we're getting closer all the time tho it never seemed to move away from a friendship until I blinked and Ryan asked Simeon for a kiss and a hand job about 70% in?
Theres SO MUCH information and appearances from couples/ characters from past books. Every time a side character showed up their partner was also mentioned...along with their kids and pets and friends ...more

Yes,I don't think it would be fair to rate something that I skimmed so much of so I won't. But I wasnt expecting a PO to be so easily swayed by lust. Yes, I'm aware it's a common thing in real life but I was expecting there to be an emotional build up that lead to the sexual acts instead of the MC basically risking his job just to get his rocks off in his...second?third? meeting with the other MC. ...more

Their inner monologs said they had fallen for each other but we never get an actual love declaration/conversation. The words aren't said. This was the same complaint I had in the last book I've read by this author, the "I love you"s are mentioned in the epilogue and while the epilogues were cute it still left me wanting to experience the milestones not just glimpses.
It figures I'd go from a hiatus straight into a slump. *sigh*...more

I liked Mangolia, she was all sunshine. I liked when Bane showed how much he wanted to care care of Mangolia.
There were a lot of sweet moments that I felt were overshadowed by lust when it turned into sex. Conversations about marriage and Mangolia wanting to be loved were quickly moved out of focus because Bane would start sexing her up.
And then we get to the most ridiculous thing of all, Bane is obsessed with thoughts of wanting Mangolia in his life and in his bed every night, wanting to wake up to her. Caring deeply for her. But yet refuses the fact that he loves her, tells her he can't give her love, can't give her his heart because the way his mother has always treated him has ruined him emotionally and he believes he's uncapable. So when talking about marriage all he's offering is protection,care, attraction, companionship, affection but not love. And he claims he dosent want children because he can't love them either.
So of course, OF COURSE Mangolia ends up pregnant and her father passes away. So she's grieving her father while hiding the pregnancy from Bane and has a little episode where she wants to be alone and goes to her own apartment instead of Bane's place.
Bane is confused and wants to know what's wrong, about to head out to find out but runs into his friend that tells him he's worried about how Mangolia is feeling because he loves her and apparently at 92% he has the realization that everything he's been feeling for her is because he loves her *facepalm* and that same friend points out the vitamins mangolia is taking are for her pregnancy..and Bane, previously saying he didn't want kids? Is all but bursting with happiness. Which fair, if you find out the love of your life is pregnant and the only reason you thought you didn't want kids is because you thought you were incapable of love but really? Leaving the epiphany to happen because of the friend pointing it out ? At 92%?!?!? Ugh.
So he runs off to Mangolia to tell her he loves her and we get her POV that showed a conversation with a doctor about her pregnancy where she mentions Bane doesn't want kids and the doctor says "“Well, then you’ll have to change his mind. Love has a way of doing that.” uhhhhhh, I don't think that's how things work. ...more

And the next couple? Apparently Danny is emotionally in love with Michael but isn’t sexually attracted to him so Michael is constantly hooking up with other people and apparently he’s hooking up even more frequently since Danny said he was in love with him so that’s already going into my avoid pile.
