The Bond Dissolution Omegaverse #1
The Scent of Us: Part One: The Bond Dissolution Omegaverse, Book 1
The National Omega Commission has announced they are expanding their experimental clinical trials. This marks the first time omegas have the ability to dissolve bonds without their alpha's consent.
For Juno Liu, who has been forcibly bonded since she awakened, this changes everything. But it turns out that breaking her unwanted alpha bonds is the easy part.
When Juno encounters her gorgeous scent-matched alpha, she does the only logical thing and runs away. It's unfortunate she can't do the same when she perfumes for the sinful new lecturer at her university. And she still can't stop thinking about the sweet-faced beta who tried his best to keep her safe all those years ago.
When Juno's suppressants start to fail, she's forced to confront everything she's afraid of. This alpha-shy omega will have to embark on a trial far more harrowing than bond dissolution—finding a pack to court her.
The Scent of Part One is the start of a sweet reverse harem MMFMMMM duology, set in the Bond Dissolution Omegaverse. Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

The concept had a lot of promise, an omega finally given the chance to break unwanted bonds and find her own path? I was genuinely intrigued by Juno’s journey, especially the emotional weight of her past brutal relationships and the potential for healing.
Unfortunately, most of the key emotional moments, bond dissolutions, relationship shifts, time spent with pack members, happened off-page or were glossed over. I never really felt like I was in Juno’s shoes because the writing style leaned so heavily on telling rather than showing.
Where was the world building??
“My omega thinks he’s mine, you know.”
Is your omega a separate entity? This happens a few other times with some of the men, talking about “their alpha.” There is no description of what this actually means.
“I don’t think your alpha could hurt me.”
They don’t shift or have separate personalities, so I have no idea what this language even means. I can’t imagine trying to read this book before understanding what a generic ABO universe entails.
Juno’s pack has six members, but the story jumped around so fast from one pairing to another that I barely got a handle on who was who, let alone develop any emotional investment in them. Next thing you know, she’s moving into their house. There was no real sense of time passing.
The Professor Ari storyline felt oddly inserted, like a completely different thread that didn’t quite belong. I also had some issues with how the MM elements were handled, it came off more like a competition for attention than a supportive, healthy connection. For a story that’s supposed to center around emotional recovery and found family, these dynamics were unfortunate.
OmegaFans, really?
Someone else described the tone shift as “depressing to horny to corny,” and honestly, I couldn’t sum it up better. There were glimmers of potential, but the emotional depth and relationship-building I wanted just weren’t there.

4.75 stars.
This was a near perfect omegaverse. Consent, cuteness, smut but also great plot, giggles, fabulous characters, race and gender equity were valued, great worldbuilding, and on.
Before I continue, please be aware that this is part of a duology . This one ends on a cliffhanger and the next book wraps up the story. This was a GREAT read.
1. Omegaverse worldbuilding was exactly what I love. The problem with a lot of omegaverse books is they take the designations and scent matching as a way to force people into relationships. Ideally, those are positive and healthy relationships; however, toxic relationships and body betrayal syndrome abound in many omegaverse books. That’s not the case in this world. Yes, there is forced bonding (yikes, super scary). We meet our heroine when she is trapped in a pack after being bonded to three abusive alphas against her will. Thankfully, she is able to break away from them and get help. I loved how the author addresses free will and choosing your romantic partners for how they treat you rather than being a biological imperative. The biological pull is there, but it is not destiny. What a breath of fresh air in this subgenre!
2. Racial and gender equity. This author is Asian-Australian and she has a great diverse cast of characters that reflect her own heritage as well as other ethnic and cultural and national backgrounds. It was so fun to see love interests and friends from different backgrounds and their sex and/or race did not dictate their role in this world. Yes, there are still inequities perpetrated against folks for their race, sexual orientation, designation, gender, etc., but I love that the author writes a world where this is not accepted as okay. I also appreciated how Juno as an omega was not strictly submissive nor were all the alphas strictly dominant. Their behaviour was more nuanced.
3. Sexy found family. Polyamory is complicated and yet, in so many omegaverse books, multiple partners is treated like something super easy and no one has a problem sharing. This book is, once again, more nuanced. This story is centered on Juno, but she’s not the only one having multiple relationships. And not everyone is in a sexual relationship with her (at this time). I appreciated how they all have to talk to each other and some of those convos were awkward (and led to many giggles).
4. Healthy depictions of therapy and mental health. I LOVED how the author includes so much focus on Juno’s (and other’s) mental health. She’s been in therapy, but it’s not perfect and she still has times that she struggles. They all try their best to support her and each other.
I was VERY impressed by this author and felt very safe in her care. Plus, I chortled a LOT. This was a really fun read with some darker parts, but the love interests are great. I took off the .25 stars for the requisite out of control female. It felt a bit over the top and unnecessary. But the author integrated it and no one is perfect.

too instalusty for my liking! started off great and a little dark but once the fmc got out of it, it was pretty much smooth sailing for her and i got super bored. there should have been tension between the fmc, juno, and some of the mmcs like isaac, everett and ari, but the instantaneous lust ruined everything for me. it did get interesting towards the end, but the cliffhanger was really predictable.
July 12, 2024
i love this book so much first of all ty eliana lee for writing a why-choose with an asian fmc i love you with my heart. at first, i wasn't sure how well the mmcs would be written since there's SIX of them lmao but each of them were written so well and were distinctive (which is the bare minimum but i honestly haven't found that many so this book is a treasure to me). love that it was written in third POV, considering that there were many different character chapters
i especially like that juno (fmc) didn't scent match with all of them. it can feel a bit insta-lovey that way. so she and most of the other mmcs had to build that relationship with her which makes it so enjoyable to read! and the prime alpha didn't scent match with her so it made the slow burn between them all the better. (AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN EXPECT A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CHILL BUT SURPRISE BITCH YOU BOTH ENDED UP WITH FEELINGS <333)
without getting too spoilery, the dynamic the pack had with betas was beautiful. they truly are found family <3

I honestly love everything about this book. The sweetness and care the pack has for our FMC Juno 🥹 From her meeting them to the building romance between them. Argh. So good!
Eliana did a fantastic job at creating complex characters. I LOVE the diversity of these characters. I JUST 🥹 LOVE THESE CHARACTERS SO MUCH. Except Pack Zhao, they can step on Legos!
Reading about Asian Australian rep in one of my favourite books this year is seriously a treat for me! I adore them all so much that it's hard to pick who's my favourite because they're all just so dang amazing.
My heart hurts for Juno, for what she went through with her former pack. Her journey means so much to me. Getting to see her grow and flourish under her current pack is so 🥹 I cannot wait to read the second book after that cliffy!

Why didn’t I read this earlier??? I LOVED this omegaverse duology, and am adding it to my top tier shelf because I will definitely be re-reading.
Short review:
This was incredibly well-written and took me to ALL the emotional highs and lows. I could tell a lot of care went into telling the story, from the TW parts, to the inclusion of Asian Australian immigrant culture. Loved every moment of it.
Longer review:
We first meet Juno when she’s trapped in a forced bond to abusive alphas, but it feels wrong to label this a ‘wounded bird’ trope because of how much consideration her story was given. Sometimes in omegaverse, the omega will be ‘magically healed’ by going into heat with the MMCs, but not so here. The story gave Juno time and space to address her recovery/healing in a way that showed her courage but didn’t define her, and her relationships with the MMCs (whilst all different) were each centred around care, consent and safe boundaries.
I’m also really impressed by how well each of the MMCs (there were many!) were fleshed out, and how the characters played off one another. It led to different relationship dynamics (including MM) that developed at different paces. AND the main conflict was resolved in a way that was in character. All of this meant the story and the HEA felt really satisfying.
I would have given it a perfect score just for all that, but I think what made this duology really special was how Eliana Lee blended different Asian Australian immigrant cultures into the story - something I haven’t come across before, and made the story feel textured and grounded.
Quote that sums it up for me:
“The grass isn’t greener on the other side. It’s greener where you water it. Care for her and let her care for you and I have no doubt you two will flourish.”
And, oh yeah, there was plenty of spice too. 😏

I’m not ok 😭
Ok but how amazing was this book? The writing, the dialogue, the complex relationships, it was all top tier. All the characters were multifaceted and engaging with interesting backstories. I was crying very early in this book because the abuse escape and recovery is so poignant. The author gives Juno plenty of time and therapy to work through her trauma, which I loved. I am so excited to start the next book!
Spice: 5/5
Triggers: domestic violence, rape (off page but with brief viewing of video of one incident, not by MCs), involuntary video taping of sex, forced relationship, attempted tampering with birth control, mentions of toxic family relationships, homophobia, violence, brief gore, murder, PTSD, flashback, physical assault, mention of drugs

This has everything I love in an omegaverse. It had a good amount of sweet and spicy with a nice side of angst. I loved Juno. She was a strong, independent character but also let others take care of her and smother her in love which I love in omegaverses. I liked all of the characters actually. There was a wide variety from dominant to more submissive guys so it was fun to see all the dynamics. The plot line was also interesting. The world had a unique twist that I really enjoyed. It was heartbreaking at times but so sweet during other times. This has easily become on of my favourite OVs.

I cannot believe this was written by a debut author. This was so freaking good!
Sweet, charming, fun, and playful, I adored this so much! I thought it was well paced and written. Don't worry, horny OV lovers, the smut is doled out with a heavy hand, but not to the point where it's overwhelmingly gratuitous. I really appreciate that the author didn't feel the need to write out every sexual encounter that transpired between the characters. That allowed for consistent relationship development and when there WAS a smut scene, it helped further along the story.
The story starts off quite dark: the FMC was bonded to a pack against her will and we spend the first few chapters seeing the abuse before she thankfully gets herself out of that situation. We jump forward a couple years and the FMC's in recovery after dissolving her prior bonds. She's in school, not looking to get involved with any alphas or packs anytime soon, until her physician tells her her suppressants' efficacy is waning and her heat's coming.
Right from the get-go, I felt a kinship with Juno as well as the other characters. Her excitement for stationery? Her very relatable reaction to lactose? Julian regretting not paying attention to his Chinese classes? And those are just in the first few chapters.
Then there's a chance encounter with an alpha with a scent that's enticing like no other and the careful budding relationship between Juno and the members of Pack Rivera-Gunnarsson. What follows is the sweet mundane of casual dating and courtship. I feel like with a backstory as harrowing as Juno's, she deserved to have this slow introduction back to being intimate with alphas. The rest of the book is spent building this foundation. There is no external conflict working against them until an unfortunate reveal happens at the end of part two. I think (and hope) this means for The Scent of Us: Part Two, it'll be Juno+Pack Rivera-Gunnarsson VS external conflict, instead of Juno in conflict with the pack itself.
Speaking of Pack Rivera-Gunnarsson, I adore them all! Issac's dominating and firm (while we know he's a softy) disposition, Everett and his acquiescence to Juno in the kitchen, Oliver's support and care, and Mile's playful openness. Not to mention the (re)introduction of Julian and Ari. There are so many strands of this relationship to build upon that I CANNOT wait to read part two!
Lastly, and most importantly, REPRESENTATION MATTERS. I am a huge lover of omegaverse and I'm so glad the author reached out to me to share that she wrote OV featuring an Asian FMC and Asian love interests. As I've said before, I related to them all so hard in different ways. I am so thrilled that this book exists and that there's more coming.
I genuinely highly HIGHLY recommend this to anyone that'll listen.

Spectacular! Perfection! I loved everything!
Great characters, great pack dynamics, great banter and dialogue, great pacing and writing! This is the standard to which all abused/mistreated-Omegas-finding-love-again books will be compared to. All of my questions were answered and every problem/issue got addressed. There were beautiful and heartwarming scenes between Juno and all of her pack. The smut was smutting. It felt like these characters really knew each other and that I knew them, too. I could have read 300 more pages of these wonderful characters. This absolutely goes in my top 10 OV books list for sure.
Features MM relationships and multi-POV.

I don't normally love third-person pov, but it worked out well here. That cliffhanger, though? Criminal.

Pretty good! Will definitely read the second book. I didn't expect the lighthearted vibe, especially after the first chapter or two but it was a pleasant surprise.

4.8 stars.
Wow. I was really expecting to be sobbing my way through at least half of this book. But the way this author wrote about the FMC’s abuse was so respectful, leaving 98% of it off page while still making it very clear how devastating it was, that I was just left feeling really proud of a fictional character for her strength instead of trying to see through waterlogged lashes.
And then again, I thought I’d be a bit disappointed with the pack dynamic because they wouldn’t all be with Juno. But even that isn’t true.
I’m really loving how the relationships are developing at their own paces. It’s very obvious now Why they’re developing in the way they are, at the speed they are. And I really appreciate that.
Plus. I was not expecting it to be so cute and funny throughout the book.
The drawings? And the cooking? And the games? Are you kidding? That’s so fucking cute I can’t stand it.
I can not wait to read the second half of this story.
So lovely.

This book was so wholesome!!!
I loved watching Juno get the pack she deserved!
“Anger is poison, Ari. Compassion is free.”
JUNO. My girl. She was so fiesty. Even after everything that she had been through.
“I heard he’s about to get a second boyfriend."
“How do you know?” she asked with an edge to her voice.
“Well, because I brought him one, silly.”
This part was 🤌🤌🤌
I wasn't sure how I was going to like reading about a pack this large. But I honestly couldn't get enough. Each of them were so different. But so well balanced!
They were all so different with her!
Everett was was so rough with her in the most delicious ways! While Ollie was so tender with her! They each brought something so different to the pack! And don't even get me started on Miles and Issac! 🥵
I'm still hoping out hope for a killer scene with her and Issac though!!
The way each of her pack members were so accepting of new members! Ahh. I loved it.
The way Eliana described each of the characters scents was so perfectly done!!! 👏
Running to read the next book after that cliffhanger! 😭

She needed him to not look at her with such intensity but would also die if he stopped. It would be so easy for him to lean forward and press his cheek against hers, leaving his scent on her skin. She craved it, wanted to carry the reminder of him with her all day and couldn’t for the life of her recall why she shouldn’t.

The first few chapters made my heart ache for Juno. I can’t imagine being bonded against your will during a vulnerable time and have your body betray you because of your designation’s biology.
The events flowed very well together and that time skip of 3 years was much needed in order for Juno to have started her healing process before meeting Ollie. It is the first OV I have read where not every member of an established pack was immediately smitten or scent sympathetic with the omega FMC and it was very well done. I loved the individual dates with Ollie, Miles and Everett, and the fact that Juno got intimate with Miles first, the pack’s beta and Isaac’s bonded, made perfect sense given her history.
I am about to dive into Part 2 because I NEED to know how Isaac and Juno’s relationship will develop. If it even will 😩 He is making googly eyes at Julian for now…

Tropes:
~why choose (one heroine and 6 heroes)
~omegaverse
~LGBTQIA+ characters
~mental health rep (heroine is recovering from trauma of previous forced bonds)
~rich heroes
~tattooed heroine
~one hero is her professor
I was in the mood for a Why Choose omegaverse story, and this hit the spot! The heroine is recovering from being previously forced into bonds with 3 abusive alphas, and so when she finds her new pack some of the relationships move a bit quicker and others she is more hesitant of and needs time to build trust and connection, which I appreciated. If you liked Lola and the Millionaires by Kathryn Moon, highly recommend giving this one a try!
It's the first in a duology, so there were some relationships that aren't yet fully developed in this one, but it just made me even more interested in picking up book 2 in the near future!
If this book was Taylor Swift lyrics:
"But I've found time can heal almost anything
And you just might find who you're supposed to be"

This was a new experience for me, reading a forced bond omegaverse story. Also, one that featured Alphas who weren't a scent match, but still pack. The darker aspects are pretty severe, but not lengthy, though I'm worried about what the future holds in the next book.

The first few chapters were rough like cheese and bread. But we turned a corner and a time jump where we got to see Juno in a thriving environment. A bit skittish due to her original pack but boy does she hit the lotto with her new alphas. Btw I love how they all had distinct alpha personalities and not just the same broody, large, domineering alpha holes. Juno got a little bit of everything even a sub beta, I mean whatever she wants she gets. Based on the epilogue this is a HFN.
CN: SA, dubcon, homophobia, microagressions, strained parental relationship, knife violence, financial manipulation, parental manipulation (use of guilt to maintain control)

I am SO HAPPY I finally read Eliana Lee! I have been loving Omegaverse and this one has been at the top of my TBR!
The beginning of this was definitely heavy, as the heroine is in an abusive pack and has to work her way to escaping them and finally starting over. We skip to the present now where she's living in a community and rebuilding her life, and decides to try and find a new pack. She finds some really sweet guys and starts courting them. I loved how her relationship progressed with each hero, and how we had a character show up from her past as well.
I can't wait to read book 2!

Am I an omegaverse girlie now?
The first 3-4 chapters had me going, but I think thats bc i didn't read the synopsis. Once she found her pack the story was so good!
Loved the different men and how they are all what Juno needed.

I finished this just. JUST. It was weird. I don’t know how I feel, I usually love werewolf romances but this was reading super weird. The plot just stagnates. This girls personality bounces all over the place. It was an eh.
