Three billionaire Alphas. A marriage of convenience. What can possibly go wrong?
Being an Omega is incredible. Being a fat Omega no one wants? Not so much.
But I don’t need to be wanted, I only need to survive. There’s five years left until I get my trust fund, and I can put my toxic, abusive, fatphobic family in my rearview mirror.
That’s my plan, and I’m sticking to it—until three Alphas offer my family a deal.
Three Alphas who are ridiculously rich, scorchingly hot, and claim they need me. For one year.
The deal: Marry them for one year to help save their company, and I walk away with my trust and my freedom. Simple. Easy. I don’t even blink before I sign on the dotted line.
I thought it was just a marriage of convenience and nothing more. I didn’t count on my husbands caring about me. Protecting me. Craving me. Seducing Me. Making me feel things I never have before.
Now a year doesn’t feel like long enough. But that’s what we agreed. One year, and we all walk away.
All good things come to an end. I just hope I can keep my heart from breaking when it does.
Devyn Sinclair writes steamy Reverse Harem romances for your wildest fantasies. Every sexy story is packed with the right amount steam, fiery hot men, and delicious happy endings.
She lives in the wilds of Montana in a small red house with a crazy orange cat. When Devyn's not writing, she spends time outside in big sky country, continues her quest to find the best lemon pastry there is, drinks a lot of tea and buys too many books. (Of course!)
I liked Devyn’s earlier omegaverse series but this one isn’t hitting the same way. And this book in particular… it was like I was reading it through a fog or something. The character development for Ocean was almost one-dimensional and the men were nearly indistinguishable. It was really hard to connect with the characters generally. Honestly, I knew where the book was going but I almost hoped they didn’t get together by the end. I just finished it in under 2 days and I’m still wondering where the actual romance was.
My main issue/very subjective opinion: Ocean’s overweight and it’s a huge complex for her due to her aunt/uncle’s abuse and society’s general distain for larger-sized bodies. For the first 80% of the book, I don’t think Ocean had a single thought or interaction with the men that wasn’t about her weight or insecurities surrounding that topic. (If you swapped out “men” for “weight” in the Bechdel test, I don’t think this book would have passed.) It honestly makes me wonder why the men would like her personality outside of scent sympathy because she was literally written to think and talk about nothing else, which I think is kind of a bs representation of overweight women. (Yes, women are told our value resides in our beauty and there are specific cultural standards that determine worth - but overweight women think about other things??)
Rather than an homage to larger women, to me, this book felt like a disservice. The men reassure her on multiple occasions saying that they have always been attracted to women “like you,” but then say she’s not a fetish. That phrasing reduces her to a type, which felt so unnecessary, like the men could only be into her because they’ve always been this way, like they were in a minority that’s wired to like overweight women and isn’t she lucky? Instead, why couldn’t the men just say they love her curves, they love her darker skin tone, or the color of her eyes, the gloss in her hair, her style, or her business acumen with her florist shop - why couldn’t she have other qualities that were admirable aside from her weight? Throughout the entire book, they only admire her for her curves and her occasionally scent (due to their scent sympathy). (Comparatively, if a FMC was in a wheelchair and her men told her they’ve always liked women in wheelchairs, that would read weird unless they also expressed interest in other aspects of her appearance and character.)
I feel like the author had something to prove in showing that overweight women could be beautiful. However, in this singleminded effort she actually reduced the FMC to nothing else but her weight. Larger sized people have as much validity in our culture as anyone else, and deserve depth of character that elicits love. Due to this singularly focused effort, the romance rang false and uninteresting by the end.
Also… the spice somehow felt PG-13? It obviously wasn’t closed door but I don’t think Ocean was ravished as much as the author’s other FMCs. Also, in every other omegaverse book by this author, each of the men have different sexual preferences that they act out with the FMC, which demonstrates how perfect she is for them. Literally none of these men had a lick of individual sexual preferences, and I think over half of the sex was missionary. Just… why?
The FMC has been fat shamed and financially abused by her relatives. The MMCs are billionaires who recognise her as their scent match, and propose a marriage that she thinks is fake and they know is 100% real.
I really liked the premise and enjoyed the first 40% or so. There was a lot of caregiving and even a “who did this to you??” moment, both things I am trash for. However, I kind of lost interest because I could not tell the 3 MMCs apart, and there wasn’t a lot of momentum in the story. I ended up skipping to around 80% because I just wanted to see the enemies get slapped.
I can deal with fat phobia but honestly this was just alot. I didnt connect to the characters like I normally would do. The FMC Ocean was just not likable in my opinion.
I wanted to love this book so badly because I love seeing plus size representation in this genre, but I just can’t do it. It feels like every single page you are beat over the head with the fact that she is insecure about her body and as someone who is plus size I get that, but it’s excessive in this situation and she has absolutely no backbone to be found.
And she really needs therapy, but this book falls into the trope where the conventionally attractive billionaire mmcs are going to magically cure 30 years of emotional trauma.
I also can’t really tell any of the guys part from each other.
I may pick this book up again someday but it’s just not the vibe.
What I got from this book is that flowers have more personality than Ocean or her mates.
My pet peeve about plus size FMCs is when the author makes being fat the person’s entire personality and storyline. This book is very guilty of that. Ocean has a business, which is totally unimportant to this book and plays no role other than to have a reason to tell us what flowers mean at the start of each chapter. The only important thing about her is that she’s fat. It’s the only thing she cares about, thinks about, or anyone can see. People stop her in the street to tell her she’s fat and her aunt and uncle abuse her for it at every opportunity. Since Ocean’s entire brain is dedicated to being fat, she’s a 30 year old woman who can’t figure out how to move out on her own, even though she has friends and job.
Ocean has three nice guy mates. They are totally interchangeable to the point that this could have just been a MF book.
The author doesn’t understand what a Board of Directors does. The board of a public company is not involved in management. Yes, people would question it if the Chairman of the Board came around and changed designs and materials, because he doesn’t work in the company. It would be incredibly strange. The people whose actual job it was to do design, ordering, materials, tooling, and quality control would question what was happening, and then would go to their actual management about it.
I didn't like this one as much as the first one. It was still a lovely sweet omegaverse, but there were a few things that were offputting.
Firstly, the situation with the trust was too contrived. In no universe am I going to believe someone can write a will that creates a trust for their kid, and that will binds them until they are THIRTY-FIVE years old. I don't mean binds up the trust - people can write any conditions on their money that they want - I mean binds up the person. We're supposed to believe that according to this will, Ocean's aunt and uncle have iron control over her entire life - whether she can have a job, her own savings account, etc etc. You guys, any adult can write a document that turns you into property, but that doesn't make it true. Once Ocean was a legal adult, that document has as much control over her as wet toilet paper. YES, she wouldn't gain access to her inheritance, but this book was adamant that her aunt and uncle could disallow her from having a business, and had control over her financial accounts - INCLUDING money she herself makes. And, we're told, even if she gets married, aunt and uncle still control her finances, her business, everything.
The "twist" at the end is that this was all a lie, they doctored the paperwork. But this entire arc was so contrived that I wanted to slap everyone involved, because OF COURSE THAT ISN'T A VALID DOCUMENT! No one OWNS you. From the moment you're a legal adult, you have control over your life. Ocean may have had to walk away from her inheritance, but she didn't have to live under those fuckface's control. It makes her seem like she doesn't have a goddamn brain in her head for not telling them to fuck off and die. And maybe getting a lawyer to review the legality of all this horseshit. Or contacting her parents' old lawyer for clarity, which was done at the end of this book and solved the problem in like 3 seconds.
It was so fucking stupid and unnecessary. It would be enough to entangle her in her evil aunt and uncle's lives if they just had control of the trust and estate, we didn't need the bullshit contrived setup of her being utterly owned by them.
The second thing that made this book tough was Ocean's narrative for the first 60% or so. I'm sympathetic about the abuse she went through (even though as per above, a lot of it was contrived bullshit and she should have laughed in their fucking faces and left to have her own life), but the self-loathing in her narrative was frankly exhausting. As was the way she was a complete fucking doormat ... until literally like the 95% mark where she was suddenly Wonder Woman and telling her evil aunt and uncle to go to hell.
Look, the self-loathing and self-doubt was too much, and really really repetitive. I'm a curvy girl myself, and so I completely get all the ways the world is an asshole to heavy women, but it isn't a constant fucking running commentary in my mind. And while the guys deciding they were going to fuck confidence into her was fairly on-brand for omegaverse, at a certain point I was literally shouting at my kindle "GET A FUCKING THERAPIST!"
It just got tedious.

I love Devyn’s writing and all of her omegaverse stories. I’ve been waiting for Ocean’s story since the first in the series, and it did not disappoint!
Ocean is a plus sized Omega that has always struggled with her body image and self esteem in a world that is not very kind to curvy women, especially Omega’s. I felt so sad at times with the harsh words and comments she was experiencing from the public and her horrible aunt and uncle. As someone who has struggled with body image, i really related to her struggles and self esteem issues.
In this story, Ocean finally gets to experience true love from people other than her best friends and her parents who have long since passed. Her pack showers her in their love and support. Not only do they make it very known how beautiful they know she is, they help her with accepting their love, accepting herself and her body, and really growing into the women she was meant to be without her awful aunt and uncle spent her life knocking her down.
This story was filled with so much love, from her friends and her pack, so much self growth, understanding your value in the world, and learning to love yourself. The overall plot was good and very enjoyable. I was definitely blushing a little when the alphas used their toys from their own company line for “quality testing.” The spice was indeed spicing.
Thank you Devyn for the ARC! I highly recommend this one to any omegaverse or romance lover.
Ocean is an omega who has been verbally and emotionally abused because of her size. She is under the control of her aunt and uncle.
When Everett, Cameron, and Micah attend an event they don’t want to be at they see her from across the room and are immediately attracted to her. When they come closer to save her from an overzealous Alpha they realize she’s their scent match.
Sensing she’s not ready for that information they find a way to use their contract to secure her in marriage. Shes sure it’s all temporary and doesn’t want to get attached. The rhetoric is that she’s too big to deserve the love and affection form three attractive Alphas.
I felt that the wooing and drama of her size stretched on a bit much through the story and the plot line kinda became secondary and fell into the background. It’s the only reason this wasn’t a 5 star read for me.
Her Alphas are very sweet and supportive and encouraging. Everything she needs in order to find herself and her confidence again. I loved the dynamic and differences between all the Alphas. Overall a great feel good omegaverse story.
What started out a marriage of convenience ends up being the best decision Ocean ever made. I was so excited for Ocean’s story and it didn’t disappoint! Her 3 billionaire husband were phenomenal and knew all the right things to do to help her with her insecurities. They really healed wounds they didn’t cause and showed her what love was! I can’t wait for Trinity’s story 🖤
Much like other Devyn Sinclair readers, I have been waiting for (stalking) this book for MONTHS. Unfortunately it's slightly lower quality than the authors usual and I am slightly let down. I would still recommend reading this book, partly because we need it to get to Rin's story and because it is a decent read overall. The details:
Pros: Oren, Raina, Rin, Ashley, Ruby, the event planner (whose name escapes me) and that one stranger at the ice cream shop (you'll recognize her, trust me). The supporting characters in this book are perfection; Funny, truly supportive, and good! So. Freaking. Good. The humor, the banter, and the scents - wonderful across the board. Devyn does some of the best scent profiles for her packs ensuring they all compliment each other, and this book 100% has an ideal combo.
Cons (aka spoilers): I'll start with several instances of awkward/poor grammar, some confusing sentence structures, and presumably typos (possibly poor grammar but seemed like typos) that pulled me out of the story trying to figure out what had just occurred. This is not normal for the author. Her books are usually pristine when it comes to grammar and editing. I'm not sure what happened here but it was less enjoyable than most of her books. Next the weight focus - we all knew of (and looked forward to) the larger than average Omega. My problem is the over exaggeration of fat phobia, most specifically Frank's belief it could be a scandal. I'm plus sized and wanted this in a character but, it was too much of the story and overshadowed more important plot threads too long. Even her relationship with the guys was more focused on her size and barely brushed over other aspects of her personality. I've never wished for a DS novel to be shorter but, approximately 100 pages could have been cut and we still would have had the background, emotion and embracing of our plus sized FMC. The rest of our FMC.... Man do I want to love her and yes I do like her but the girl is not bright sometimes. From the trust discrepancy, to years of borderline starvation tactics and finally being hit, at no point is this woman smart enough to seek refuge and legal assistance? She has at least one friend whose family could and would have helped protect her, even if it was protection until age 35. She had options and ignored them without a reason. I don't accept the abusive aunt/uncle as her reason for ignoring options because she had enough gumption at 21 to try to get out of the trust but not enough brains to get help. The guys were ok but again, why aren't the brain cells firing? You get a text that your wife is going somewhere unsafe, your first reaction should be immediately calling to have her stall until you can be there with her, not following when she's already on the way. You get important paperwork you've been waiting for, read it immediately (there's 3 of you, she could handle one being occupied for a short bit). I get it, you're in love blah blah but let's prioritize here boys. Last, the Caldwell legacy. There is so much focus on Ocean's mom in relation to the Caldwell "dynasty" but, this would not be the true inheritance flow. Ocean is a Caldwell through her father as assumed by her last name. Laura is her mother's sister, therefore never a Caldwell. Why would she have any expectations of inheriting an estate and funds that didn't come from her own line? Money to fund the niece's upbringing yes, but a split of the estate, no. And why is the Caldwell "dynasty" so important beyond having some cash? And why wouldn't a "dynasty" have trusts established for the direct heir without allowing it to fall to the wife to decide how a dynastic estate is willed. Ocean would have already had a clue and copies of her original trust paperwork before her mother's death (she was young but not so young that she wouldn't have known her trust rules).
Loved the first half but the second half felt... kind of meh. I caught myself skimming about 65% of the way through. The conflict felt like it was getting more convoluted for no reason. But I liked Ocean fairly well and her pack (even if I felt like Micah and Cam really got lost in terms of characterization), although Ocean did feel very one-dimensional, all she thinks about is her weight. And I agree with some of the other reviews, billionaires are not going to solve 30 years of emotional trauma in four weeks with magic dicks.
If it wasn't for the absolutely repetitive, round the clock, trully horrible circle of abuse and internal self-sabotage and self-hatred that this poor FMC has to live through. It was kind of over the top, to the point were it takes over the plot of the book and there's really no other point of the book but her trying to overcome how much she hates herself by trying to convince herself that someone else - these three alphas- could potentially actually care about her or even be attracted to her.
That's not a joke. I'm serious. I get being insecure, I really do. But this feels like skirting around the issue by allowing someone else to convince you it's fixed and you don't really have to worry about it? Idk, but it felt kind of weird to be. I liked the honesty, and the fact that even at the end, she still knows that the bad days will come and she will see herself as her insecurities, but her growth is there... It's just so impacted by the men that her growth feels like it fell to the wayside.
Overall, though, I actually think the personalities of the MMCs were more defined and better acknowledged than the MMCs in book 1, and it made this book feel so much more well rounded, and the relationship more realistic.
I liked the conclusion, even if it felt slightly rushed. I wanted a big, fat, delicious F**K YOU to Aunty and Uncle Dearest but in felt like it went by too fast. Still, it was all good.
🌶🌶🌶 - Steamy, like most omegaverse romances, but not too out there. The MMCs are there owner of a adult toy company, so there's that... It's fun actually!
*Reverse Harem *Omegaverse - Contemp *Multi-1st-PoV *Fated Mates *Plus Size FMC *Body Issues *Billionaire MMCs *O/A/A/A *Established Pack (3) *Mid-Burn *Standalone *Shared World Sweet Story A really wholesome story about a lady blossoming in the right circumstances 😍 Ocean has struggled throughout her life from the constant demeaning of her guardians, causing her to believe she isn't worth much or anything real 😣 Her struggles may touch a lot of readers who are overcoming feelings towards their own bodies. Yet three men give her the chance to overcome that trauma, with their words of love and assurance you really see Ocean come into her own! It's a really lovely story of character growth with some amazingly protective and worshipping Alphas. There is some mystery around her guardians and the guys' business which adds another dimension to this book. Although the spice doesn't hit until midway through there are some great scenes , not only individually (you’ll know which ones when you get there) but the groups one as well. A sweet standalone in this OV world.
More wish-fulfillment spoiling and pampering. I didn't like this one as much as I did the previous volume. Ocean's passivity was frustrating. But I did have fun with how cartoonishly bitchy her aunt was, and all the "who did this to you" from the pack. And I enjoyed the blistering set downs delivered to the villains.
Loved it! There is more plot and less sex in this book than the previous one in the Clarity Coast series. The lesser amount of on-page sex scenes makes sense because of Ocean's body image issues, but I did miss the fantastic smut that Devyn writes. These Alphas were very easy to love. They were so gone for Ocean immediately and did everything in their power to reassure her and show her their feelings. Ocean's story wasn't always easy to read, but I really appreciated the honesty and vulnerability shown by writing it. Very excited for Trinity's story. I'm hoping it's with a certain hacker friend...
was a tiny bit better than the first.. I get that the female lead was plus size, but the author literally reminded you of that on every damn page, ok I got it. I liked that these guys were into her and supported her but it was all just a tad bit much by the end. Also she's like 30, grow a backbone. The spice scenes that I read were awkward and a bit I don't know cringey might be too strong a word but they felt clinical and just really awkward for me to read so I skipped over all those bits after the first scene, skimmed the rest of the book after about 70% just to see how it resolved. I wasn't feeling the connection between the characters so maybe thats why. Overall kind of a boring. I did like the flower aspect.
I had been looking forward to Ocean’s story and it didn’t disappoint. I really enjoyed it. I will admit that being plus sized myself, this book hit a little too close to home with it’s accuracy on the bullying you can experience from complete strangers and caused me to have feelings I was not expecting to have while reading an omegaverse book.
I absolutely love Devyn Sinclair's omegaverse series. She puts so much reality in her books that you can about guarantee to relate to one of her characters and what their going through at some point in time. I related to Ocean in this book, being a plus-size woman myself. People can be so mean, especially when you're single or just starting a relationship. You can actually feel the pain and trauma these characters go through. The author writes her books in a relatable but spicy, fun sense.
I can get lost in her books and not come up for air until I'm done. Then I want to go back and re-read all her books again. Priceless is an A/O/A/A book. Three billionaires, the Dupont Pack meets their scent match at a social event they almost didn't attend. They come up with an agreement to marry the omega for 1 year to help her uncle and to make a better appearance with their board. Well, that's what they tell the uncle when they make the agreement.
If you remember Ocean from Isolde's book, Endless, then you knew some things were going on in her life. Ocean lives with her Uncle Frank and Aunt Laura while she waits on her trust fund. They are awful to Ocean, and my heart knows what it is like to have family talk down to you. She's thrust into this marriage arrangement by making an agreement with her uncle. Little did she know it's to her scent matches.
Ocean struggles so much with her body size. She's been made to feel like she's not worth anything to anyone because she is bigger in size. Her husband want to do nothing but make her see the beauty they do. Those thoughts just don't go away, as we all know. It doesn't matter what you struggle with those thoughts will be there and creep up from time to time. Even if you don't always think negatively.
This book gave me so much. It wasn't just about scent matching, nesting, heats and spice. Although there was a lot of delicious spice throughout it. There is a great plot to follow along with it. This is such a great omegaverse book to read. Clarity Coast Series is amazing. You'll meet amazing women struggling through issues that only their pack will help change their minds and treat them like the omega they deserve to be treated.
Tropes: - Omegaverse - A/O/A/A - Billionaire Alpha Pack - Scent Match - Arranged Marriage - Heat - Nesting - Knotting - Plus-Size Omega - Spicy Honeymoon - Alpha Pack makes & owns top of the line s3x toys
A little disappointed with this one. Plenty of hurt/comfort, shitty relatives and dodgy business going on. It didn't feel balanced. There was the marriage where most of it was sex or trying to make her comfortable for sex, then there was the business with the material swap. Compared to Isolde's guys, the trio was pretty much joined at the hip and it was difficult to tell them apart. Micah was the designer, Cam was the one that liked man handling and Rett because they spoke about how his name was shortened.
Nice to see there was still catch up time with the friends, although it felt like Isolde's pack had been cast into the shadows as silent bodyguards. The flower meanings at the beginning were interesting, it was a shame there wasn't more focus on the flower side with her business, instead the story focusing on her size. I get the insecurity and that people were jealous and cruel online, but it was a constant hammering as if that was the only thing about Ocean that mattered. The woman sends veiled messages in flowers. How was that not important? The end takedown was a bit anti-climatic. They made it seem public but instead it was backroom at a party, where the guests probably only saw the police. Looks like it's Trinity's turn next. From the father getting remarried, I'm guessing billionaire step brothers or something. Curious about the hacker.

Ocean is a plus sized Omega living under the control of her vicious aunt and uncle, when she encounters the DuPont pack of 3 Alphas who want to marry her to save their public image. They tell her she's beautiful and treat her with kindness, but it's only for a year - she can't fall in love, right?
This is one of the best instances of a plus-sized heroine learning to love herself, and the perfect example of why this is one of my autobuy authors. I was drawn into this story from the beginning, and loved how relatable every moment of this was (well, except the 3 hot Alphas!).
I highly recommend this if you love omegaverse, plus sized heroines that were strong all along, and good old fashioned revenge with a dose of sugary sweet HEA.
I’m fine. Everything’s fine. Nothing to see here. *crying*
Devyn Sinclair slays, always. But Priceless got me right in my feels and made me feel seen. I was prepared for an OV romance, I was not prepared for the depth of feeling and sweetness that was Ocean’s story. Like what is wrong with me? I can’t stop happy crying. 🥹 🖤
I love this series, but Ocean, Ocean and her three Alphas just knit some broken stuff in me back up.
If you love omegaverse, you’ll love this one, it has all the goodness found in an OV but let me tell you, the sweetness, and the journey that Ocean goes on and her being loved and allowing and believing in that love it’s, well, it’s Priceless.
One of my favorite books I’ve read and a favorite of 2024.
I love everything written by Devyn! This was a good read, solid 3.7 stars. Pros: I like when there’s 3 alphas the best! It’s easier to make sense of the positions in my head lol. I also loved the imagery and pacing for the story.
Cons: I feel like it focused on her weight too much though. I know that being plus sized can be a sensitive subject, but I don’t think beauty is determined by sizing and I think a lot of people agree. It felt like the only people who found her attractive were her biologically matched mates and that doesn’t seem like the best message to send..
I loved the plot of this book, but the three male main characters fell super flat for me. They didn’t have distinct personalities, except for one who was the “artsy” one but even then it didn’t make much of a difference. You could’ve swapped any of them out with each other in any scene and it wouldn’t have made a difference. I was really disappointed because I’ve read another book by this author and loved it, and I also really loved the plot and other aspects of this book but I just couldn’t find a reason to care about the MMCs.
Okay so this read just like book 1 except Ocean thinks she’s fat, ugly and worthless. The insecurities got overbearing after a while because I hate books that stretch it out like this. But with the 3 male mcs I actually love how they approached Ocean with care and gave her time to blossom.
I’m kinda hoping the last friend Trinity gets a book but PLEASEEEE do not make it a scent match situationship with an alpha pack 😭 I want a different storyline for her since her personality is so strong
A highly enjoyable omegaverse romance. Oh to be Ocean and get all her men. They're so dreamy. Devyn Sinclair can always be counted on to deliver a solid, easy to read, well written and sexy omegaverse. I love how Ocean and her men come together, and I love how in this universe the omegas don't know they're scent matches until they're in heat. Makes for a delicious twist on the instalove, and makes the men really have to work to prove their worth and love.
Ocean has two of the most vile relatives, that I truly hate. There are some triggers that have to do with Ocean being plus size, and the fat phobia characters in her surroundings show. Sinclair writes it beautifully though, and I adore how the men try to show her that she's worthy no matter her size - she's beautiful no matter what other people have told her.
I loved that toys are very much friends in this book. Slightly kinky, very much fun and delicious.
I found it slightly hard to connect with Ocean, but I loved her journey and the packs journey as a whole. Marriage of Convenience is one of my favorite tropes and this book executed it beautifully.
Read this if if you like 💙 Marriage of Convenience 💙 MFMM 💙 Hurt/Comfort 💙 Pack Falls First 💙 Plus size FMC
I approached Priceless by Devyn with modest expectations, and the experience matched those anticipations closely. While the book had some enjoyable moments, it ultimately fell flat for me in several key areas.
One of the biggest letdowns was the characters. Despite being central to the story, I found it hard to care about them. They lacked depth and complexity, making it difficult to form any real connection or investment in their journeys. This detachment was compounded by the predictability of the plot. From early on, it was clear how the story would unfold, removing any sense of suspense or excitement.
The romance, which should have been a highlight, felt rushed and unconvincing. The MMCs fell in love with the protagonist almost immediately, which stripped the story of any potential angst or tension. This instant love left little room for development, resulting in a monotonous narrative where very little of significance happened for the remainder of the book.
The sex scenes, which could have added a layer of intrigue or intensity, were also disappointing. They lacked the spark and creativity that could have elevated the overall reading experience.
Having read and enjoyed Devyn's other works, I had hoped for more from Priceless. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. It wasn't a terrible read, but it certainly wasn't a standout either. If you're a fan of Devyn, you might still find some enjoyment here, but it's not a must-read.
I loved seeing some favorites from book 1. I love that Ocean got her HEA. I wish we had gotten to see her meet their families being she doesn’t have one. It was clearly explained at the beginning but she literally didn’t come around to accepting herself until the last chapter. It would’ve been nice to see her come into her own during the book. It was a good read.
It should be illegal for a cozy omegaverse to make me snot nose cry. But alas, Ocean ripped my heart out and reading about her getting all of the love and devotion she deserves put it back together.
Yes, there is a significant amount of fat shaming in this book, both internalized and from others. If you think it’s excessive try growing up fat. If it’s a trigger for you, I would not recommend this book.
I think my new love language is omegaverse marriage of convenience 🤭
Devyn Sinclair does not disappoint with omegaverse stories. And Ocean... I knew this one would be a little more dark (for me) compared to Isolde from Endless. Being plus-size myself, there is so much more of Ocean that I am familiar with than not (although thankfully not her absolutely awful aunt and uncle).
And the pack? Loved them all. Having the scent matching work the way it does in this universe is a nice twist on the usual way it happens, and allows our MMCs to be able to show with action just how much they care for the FMC and will do for her before she even realizes what is truly going on.
The friendship between Ocean, Isolde, and Trinity is still one of my favorite things, and I am so glad it gets highlighted again in this book!
