This was the most satisfying conclusion I've read in a while. It was so amazing to watch events unfold and concluded in a way that is *chefs kiss*

The slow burn really *burned* in this book 😏 I had such a great time reading about all of the little (and spicy 👀) moments between Isaac and Juno before they finally kissed. And the bonding scenes! They're just so beautifully written and lovely.

I also love the fact that this duology is set in Australia, and the fact that most of the characters are Asian :) Representation truly matters ✨️

I highly recommend y'all to check out Part One if you like sweet OV that revolves around healing and all the loving where the FMC, Juno, rediscovers herself along the way and finds herself a pack that absolutely adores her 💕

I think development was sacrificed in the race to finish this story and it shows. While there were some moments between the characters, they felt disconnected and more spice focused than focusing on building stronger connections. The first book developed the relationships wonderfully so it was a bit of a let down not to be able to feel like they fully developed the way they should have. A lot of characters and relationships fell to the background and the relationships that were the focus, felt rushed. I still enjoyed this story. I still liked what I got to see from the characters and thought the plot wrapped up pretty well.

For anyone who has ever thought their voice doesn’t matter.

I would have to say I liked the first one better but it wasn't bad! I really enjoy how Eliana writes the connections between everyone and how different each bond is. Also I don't think I can choose my favorite out of everyone, which is great because I don't have to! 😂

4.5 ⭐️

This duology is fantastic work for a debut author, well thought through and richly explored. Come for the spice, stay for the character growth, healing, and emancipation.

Notes on the audio
Given the author is Australian and so are the characters, it made perfect sense to cast Australian narrators. Lee-Cox out performs Swallow, who has a tendency to overdo it, becoming so growly and intense it trips into satire territory. Nevertheless, I’d still recommend the audiobooks.

This was the perfect way to polish off Juno’s happy ending! Where part one explored Juno’s traumatic past and her hesitation in trusting her potential new pack mates, part two follows Juno as she takes the leap of faith and finally chooses her own happiness, while her new pack sets out to silence Pack Zhao for good.

Her chosen bonds are finally solidified and at long last, she is happy! That is until one of her former alphas threatens to leak a secret recording of Juno during her heat, which was filmed without her consent, if she doesn’t return to Pack Zhao. But Juno’s new pack refuses to let it happen. They will literally stop at nothing to destroy the abusive alphas of her past for everything they’ve done and are threatening to do when it comes to Juno.

It is quite the journey, but they finally succeed and get the HEA they all deserve! I love this pack and love this semi-dystopian OV world that Eliana has created. I can’t stress enough how beautiful her writing is!! It’s such a breath of fresh air in the sub genre and I cannot wait to see more from this author is the future!

this is one of those books where i look at the reviews and the high rating, and realize that i can't trust anyone 🙈 because like... a loooot of the characters fall into the background in this second book. are other people not bothered by that 🙈
because like sure there are sex scenes where they're all together but SO MANY of the relationships have completely stagnated in this one. to the point where im like... why bother to have all these characters be in crisscrossed relationships with each other when you're not gonna continue to develop the individual bonds and show meaningful interactions... like, id rather there be less of a polyamorous slant if there's not enough pages to show the relationships.
but alright... I'll still be keeping an eye on this author because i liked the first book.

[Ash’s reading corner ✨🌈 · Rating 2 out of 5]

All of these characters feel so different. And not in a character-development kind a way, like they grew and changed and became better.

This feels like the author forgot wtf she was doing with each of them and decided to give them new personnalities. This is so fucking weird.

I absolutely loved this duet!!

Eliana Lee did such an incredible job with such a large pack! I kept thinking... I wish I could hear more about "" and then she would deliver! By the end of the book I was so happy with the balance!

Juno was such a fiesty omega and I loved it!! She was so good at standing up for herself especially after the years she spent healing!

“Miles.”
“Hmm?” Isaac was staring at him, finally registering what he was seeing for the first time.
“Is that a pasta necklace? And why are you naked?”
“I’m…one of her French girls.”
“I see.”

I loved how playful Miles and Julian were together and with her!

The balance that Eliana created with each relationship in this pack was so perfect. I couldn't get enough! And I finally got the scene that I had been waiting for!! And my gosh! It was perfect!

“You and I,” he said against her skin. “I want us to be home to each other. The place we seek when we’re the most weary. The scent we crave when we’re the most afraid.”

Her relationship with her brother was HILARIOUS!! And I'm crossing my fingers that we get more about him in her next book!! 😍

I can't wait to read more from @elianaleewrites she definitely knows how to write omegaverses!!

A sweet yet smutty journey leading to a triumphant ending.

My heart is so freaking full after finishing this duet! I could run laps of joy over the fact that Juno and the guys worked together to face the Zhao jerks rather than let her past rip them apart.

The character and relationship development? The spice?! The cheeky actions of a certain alpha in rut during Juno's heat? (SPEAKING OF WHICH, THE SLOW FREAKING BURN BETWEEN JUNO AND ISAAC!!!) The conflict and its resolution? The well deserved happy ending? Perfection!

Honestly, Eliana Lee is a new author to look out for! I thoroughly enjoyed this duet and can't wait for any and all of her future works.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 stars)
🌶️🌶️🌶️️🌶️ (4 spice)

Book two had a much clearer storyline than the first, and I was really glad for that. This series, to me, is all about new beginnings, healing from trauma, and finding your true self after a painful past. I really loved seeing that growth — Juno has come such a long way, and I just wanted to wrap her in a warm hug. This book delivered that emotional payoff, and it made me genuinely happy to read.

The spice is once again hot and present throughout the book, and while it definitely takes center stage more than the plot, I was okay with it. It matched the tone of the series and still felt meaningful to Juno’s journey.

The writing style is the same as book one — a little choppy in places — but by this point I was used to it, and it didn’t bother me too much. I read both books in the same day, which really shows how easy and enjoyable they were to binge. I was never bored, never tempted to skip, and that’s always a good sign!

Would I recommend this book?
Yes, I would. ✅

Would I reread this book?
Yeah, I think I would.

How would I sum up this book?
A great ending — short, sweet, and spicy.

I finished both part 1 and part 2 in a day so you can guess how gripping it was.

Book 2 start immediately after book 1 and everything is chaos. I wasn’t expecting Ari’s incorporation to their life in the way Ms Eliana did, and it wasn’t brilliant. There were many moments that touched my heart and if I wasn’t clear before, I LOVE THIS PACK TO THE MOON AND BACK.
They were a delight to read.

P.s The humour in this book were just 🫶🫶🫶
Especially that last heat scene. I totally wasn’t expecting that!

Full review under Part One, but summary would be:

Loved, loved, LOVED it.

[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

I worried this book might take turn into a more violent direction, but it didn't, thankfully. The way the first book ended made me a little unsure. Regardless, this was a very smut forward conclusion to Juno's story. It was nice to read how she survived and flourished after the abuse of her first pack. Getting educated, finding a career path, and discovering love with a smorgasbord of Alphas and Betas. Nice work, girl.

[Holly's Bookshelf · Rating 2 out of 5]

Meh. Wasn't impressed. Soo boring. We didn't really get to see anything happen or how their relationships developed between each other. We were only told how they grew closer over the weeks. Felt like alot was missing from the whole story. We were only told how she did the omega interview and nothing about how it played out. Most of this was bad smut.

[Cheyenne Brallier · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really enjoyed the first book and immediately jumped into this one. It was all downhill from there. It really annoyed me how once Ari was added to the park he was basically never mentioned again. And some of the descriptions of sex are 🤢

[Poppy || Monster Lover · Rating 5 out of 5]

beautiful poignant part 2

I’m NGL I was pretty stressed after the end of book 1, which was probably what the author intended. I was desperate for a happy ever after and for Isaac and Juno to get a move on. Can I just say, I wasn’t sure about Isaac during book one but during this book, YES DADDY. Miles was ever the mischievous matchmaker and he and Ollie lightened things up throughout both books. Ollie is still 100% my fave because floppy curls and glasses paired with awkwardness is my catnip, but I loved all of them.

Spice: 5/5

Take all the flaws of the first and amplify them.

There’s no tension here, no breathing room for the characters or relationships to develop, barely any plot. I can’t say I find anything to recommend in this second installment.

You know how I used to say that omegaverse wasn't my cup of tea? Well, turns out I was wrong. Like very, VERY wrong. I just hadn't stumbled upon the right book yet. So here it is, said right book: sweet, yet spicy as hell.

Even though the nitty-gritty details of omegaverse smut aren't typically my thing, you know, the whole knots, slick, heats, and ruts thing, I still enjoyed every page. The connection between the characters is so well-developed, and each one brings something unique to the story. Plus, I loved that the main conflict didn't come from within the pack, but from external sources.

And let's talk about those scents, with those little sensory flashes that transported the characters to beautiful scenes. Absolutely fantastic. I was living for them throughout the entire duology. The writing is just so beautifully done.

Now, can we take a moment to appreciate the consent in this book? The constant checking in, the open communication, it's all there, and it's wonderful.

Honestly, the only downside is that I wished this book was longer. I would have loved to see more of a slow burn between the characters. Here's hoping for a sequel with Hazel and maybe Ben? Maybe also her mystery Omegafans partner? 🤞

I started reading Omegaverse books about a year ago, and I’ve found that I’m pretty picky with what I like. I had the honor of receiving an ARC of the first book, and loved it. And now that the second part is out, I just have to say that this duet is one of (if not THE!h best Omegaverse books I have ever read. I laughed, I cried, and I honestly highlighted more in this book than I have in any other book…ever.

If you’re considering reading OV, I think this is a great place to start. And if you love cute and hot and steamy OVs with some drama, I highly recommend this book. It kept me entertained the entire time, which has been a struggle for me lately. So please - read this book!

Perfect way to round out Juno's pack. I loved how the different relationships with Juno were developed and layered into the pack. Plenty of steam, including m/m. Sweet character driven omegaverse reverse harem.

I tried SO HARD to finish this duology because I don’t DNF, alas I DNF at 32%. I’m sure this would have been better if I wasn’t being bummed down by university 🫠

[Karla K · Rating 2 out of 5]

Yeah I should of stopped at book one

[Poetry Drive · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s over and I’m devastated because I could have read 1,000 more pages of Pack Reyna. The final installment in The Bond Dissolution Omegaverse, it is the epitome of female empowerment in a corrupt world ruled by Alpha-holes.

Juno and her pack face off against Juno’s old pack, who forced her to bond to them and abused her for years. She’s finally able to break free, dissolve those unwanted bonds and rebuild her life on her own terms. She reluctantly meets her scent mates, and slowly builds a new pack who both care and adore her.

My face during the spice scenes as the book progressed: 🤗😏🤭😧😳🫣 All of it was so so so so good. I mean it’s why-choose MMFMMMM so I was expecting spice, but there are multiple GROUP SCENES 🥵 and it’s not always with Juno 😉

The drama was great, and added so much to the plot and overarching story. I will say that I expected the fall of Pack Zhao to be more explosive, but it was very suave and more Ocean’s 11-ish. It was still exciting in its own way and, in the end, satisfying because Pack Zhao got what they deserved in the end.

The Asian representation is *chefs kiss*, the spice off the charts, and the plot and world building is just right. Not too fantastical but enough that you don’t have to try too hard to understand it.

[Miyawakiss · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved the conclusion to this duology 🥰 As I had hoped, they had explored and expanded more on the pack dynamics and relationships in this book. But maybe this pack has too many people because half the time, I forgot Ari was part of it lmao. 😅 Like maybe 6 should be the maximum. Also picturing the spicy scenes was impossible because who goes where lolol. I need a damn diagram.

As much as it was refreshing to see platonic relationships within the pack, I celebrated when they became romantic because Isaac was my favourite haha 💗🤣 The wait was so worth it!

[Cee · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is so sweet cozy and steamy. I had an absolute ball reading this. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a sweet omegaverse where the exes get their comeuppance and the final pack is adorable, adorkable, and 100% devoted to their omega. Oh oh and strong found family vibes.

[Kay H · Rating 3 out of 5]

This felt like 75% spicy times with the pack. Which, is fine if that's what you're expecting but I was expecting more of the plot with the old pack and the drama. I zipped past most of the scenes and finished it in an evening. I'll read the next one still.
