The extended ending follows immediately after the ending of Pack Darling Part Two, but I wrote it long enough afterward that I added some re-cap for us both. It’s twelve extra chapters of heat scene, so if you’re not 18 or you’re not into spice, you’re going to want to set down the book and ooze away real slow.
Lola Rock loves sweets, stories, and passport stamps (in that order). Her books can’t decide if they want to be hilarious or heart-wrenching, but they promise to keep you up all night.
No plot, just smut. And that’s what we came here for.. great way to close everything thou I won’t deny i still need more of jj and fin! Just love them so fucking much. I would die to read about them becoming parents.. honestly it would be hilarious and extremely cuteeeee✨
Did I read this purely because of the smut? Yes. Was it worth it? God yes loved every second of it, only issue is that I wanted more of Finn and JJ my babes
I believe I was given eyes for a reason, and this extended ALL smut (very limited plot) story continuing from Part II, is definitely why. And I put my eyes to damn good use reading this. Thought I couldn't love this series anymore than I already did, but this blew it out of the water. It was awesome getting a view of the heat. I am obsessed with the different character view points and honestly, can't say enough great things about this. If you loved Parts I and II, this is the icing on the cupcake. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend!
12 Chapters of Smut, had hoped at least a bit of that would have been a little bit more slice of life or at least a bit more transition to Redfang Royal
DNF- it was like 12 chapters of straight up gross and descriptive smut. Like even I have some class and I read little stranger (and laughed the entire time) jeeez also it’s like 6 dudes shit gets so weird after 2 chapters but no we needed 20 (it’s like 11 but wtf) ??! Whatever I need more therapy
Maybe it's a MM omegaverse thing... but his asshole leaks ...for lubricant? It LEAKS? It was a weird visual to get my head around.
I think this is also the first book that has couples say "i love you". It's between Orion and Atlas. Literally no one else says it. They might say they are obsessed/you're mine, etc etc, but actual I love you isn't included :(
perfection. utter perfection. smut without plot? fine. smut with feelings, no plot? good. smut with feelings fucking strong enough to be the plot? fan-fucking-tastic.
dnf. before anyone says stuff i’m aware that IM the problem. i dnf’d bc it was just a little too smutty for my tastes. i didn’t rate it because it’s my fault, not the authors.
I have read the Pack Darling duology nearly one and a half year ago. Funnily, I had the extended ending on my Kindle, but apparently, I have never read it until now. Kind of confusing, though it could be, that when I got that extended ending I have read something else or so on, and therefore I forgot about it?
I was only reminded of it, because I saw that Redfang Royal will be released soon and I saw the reading order. There was the extended ending listed. And I was like, “extended ending”? Did I have it or read it? I checked my Kindle by searching for Pack Darling and there it was shown.
Unfortunately, I couldn't remember all the content of the duology completely. Which is logical, because it's a long time ago. But I remember the main stuff. And for some more details, I had my notes and reviews.
Still, the extended ending hit differently. That's why I normally read everything in one go. But ok.
The extended ending was mostly smutty moments with inner monologues. Which is not a bad thing. It was definitely steamy. Finn was his usual psychopathic self. He was one of the characters I remembered quite well, since I love crazy characters. I did remember JJ, too. Mostly because of their childhood connection and the collars. In general, I remembered all of them in some way. Even Hunter and Atlas had many memorable moments in the duology. And of course, I remember Lilah.
In general, it was a good heat with mating and pack activity, though it really was long. Could have been a bit shorter or at least with some more non-smutty times to break it up some more, so that it doesn't get overwhelming.
Opening scene, Lilah, heat is so bad, so strong, that she barely makes it to the parking garage before she just pounces JJ once they’re parked. I don’t know how long they go for… interesting to read an Omega dominating an Alpha. Finn shows up and she has two guys in the car. Properly satiated, she gets in an elevator with them but a Beta almost gets an eye full when the doors open on the way up to their apartment.
I shouldn’t have found it amusing that JJ and Finn were fighting over Lilah, JJ didn’t want to share. Lilah does say to him later in the book though that he belongs to her and her alone.
Orion and Lilah are still synched when it comes to their heat cycles, so the Alphas are definitely busy with two VERY hungry Omegas.
We even get a scene that’s Lilah and Orion, Lilah having a special toy for Orion.
Lilah also dominates Orion, but when Orion bites Atlas to mark him, his bite crisscrosses Lilah’s, somehow making the bond stronger.
What made for a super sweet ending Lilah takes Orion’s game and starts a game company. Nothing like someone who totally believes in you, right? Lilah is now the glue that keeps everyone together and they all figure out what a real family’s like.

Really!?! You make us pay extra for this!?! It should have been included in the original part 2. Now the author has pissed me off because they blatantly left this out INTENTIONALLY to make more money from us!?! It’s clearly something you foreshadowed to and didn’t follow through on and doing it this way does NOT count!!! You can’t do a reverse harem with fated mates & HEAT without giving us this scene too. It’s a CRIME in romance & smut and I’m calling you out for it!!! Stop taking advantage of your fans and give what you promised in the actual books you publish not some gimmick like this. Oh and maybe put more plot in so your whole book isn’t about sex?!?
I finished Park Darling Parts 1&2 and was SO MAD there was not more smut. As soon as I looked up if there was more from Lola Rock, I found the extended ending and immediately purchased it from her website, especially when she said it was barely any plot and mostly smut. The way I GASPED at some of these parts really helped make up some of Pack Darling where I needed more smut. I would recommend adding this to Pack Darling reading IF you really expected a lot of smut.
After reading Pack Darling part one and two I felt unsatisfied because the characters didn't get to be together for long enough, but when i found out about this extended version i was ecstatic and Lola you do not kid. I absolutely loved this, i could read about lilah and her pack forever. Need an extended version of the extended ending of her pregnanacy. PLEASE
Pack Darling, the Complete Duology by Lola Rock @thelolarock & Lola is a new author for me.
Wow! Just wow! Amazing book! Lilah, Orion, Finn, Jett, Hunter & Atlas! Tropes: Omegaverse, Why Choose, MM, Male & Female Omegas, 4 Alphas, Unexpected Heat, Pack Restructuring, Lots of Groveling, Slow to Medium burn & love is love!
😩😩😩 just the right amount of smut i needed, because damn, i thought i was just gonna get some action, but omg, i don't regret this being the first official omegaverse book i've read (if we don't count ao3 ykyk).
