Alpha Dragon's Wolf

The Dragonfate Games #7

by Hawke Oakley

Can a white wolf heal the darkness of a dragon’s heart?Viol is his own worst enemy. Years after a tragic incident of his own creation, he hides behind intimidating black leather and a spiky attitude. Love only causes him pain, and shoving people away is easier than letting them in—even the one soul he adores more than anything.

Poppy is as loyal as he is patient. He’s waited six seasons for his fated mate to acknowledge him only to go home empty-pawed each time. But the omega wolf refuses to give up on his hurting dragon, and when he’s offered a private invitation to the island, he seizes his chance.

Because Poppy is determined to save Viol—just like Viol saved him all those years ago.

Alpha Dragon’s Wolf is a sweet mpreg novel featuring a moody alpha dragon, a gentle omega wolf, and a pile of plushies. Reading the series in order is recommended. No cheating, and fluffy HEA guaranteed!

Safety info, content warnings and tropes down below.

I have been waiting for this book since the very beginning, and while it was sad and so very sweet – Poppy is the best – it wasn’t a full score for me. I think the change in Viol from ‘I’m a monster and don’t deserve you’ to being an all-in smiling jokester (like, what??) happened way too abruptly and wasn’t very believable. 15 years of denial and self loathing does not just go away after one conversation. It also needed a lot more beta editing, all the little mistakes in character position and similar things really took me out of the story.

My issues with the book aside, it was fun to finally get the full story of what happened between Poppy and Violet in the past, and to see them reunite. Poppy has been my favorite character through the entire series and it made me really happy to see him finally get his happy ending. The shifted scenes were cute, and I wish there was even more of them.

I jabbed my finger towards the window. “Why is there a plane outside?” Alaric examined his perfectly manicured nails. “Typically, that’s where planes fly.”

I wanted to tell him how I felt. How badly I yearned for his companionship. How I was only able to bear the pain of revisiting those dark memories because of his presence in them.

“Poppy,” I rasped. “I missed you real bad. Every fucking day of my life.” His back tensed for a split second before it started to tremble. I could tell he was struggling not to cry. He nodded, burying his face in the crook of my neck. “I know,” he whispered. “I did, too.”

“Wanna grab breakfast?” “Yes!” Then I paused and flicked back my ears. “Oh, I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can shift back right now...” Viol shrugged. “Who said anything about shifting? Human, wolf—I love you in every shape, Poppy.” My pelt rippled as every hair stood on end. Whimpering again, I rubbed against Viol’s leg, thumping my tail back and forth. He chuckled and smoothed a hand along my flank.

To be honest, I expected much more from this book. I’ve been waiting through the entire series for the one that would finally focus on Viol and Poppy, but in the end it all felt a bit underwhelming. I was so excited to finally learn more about Viol (his horde) and his connection to Poppy, but everything was just rushed or, sometimes, even boring.

In trying to show their past, the book ended up neglecting and rushing their present-day relationship. I should mention that I’m generally not a fan of plots that spend too much time jumping back into the past, especially when the chapters are constantly interrupted by flashbacks. If it really has to be done, I prefer when the story covers the past first and then moves on to the present.

I thought I would be absolutely thrilled with this book, but… I wasn’t.
I’m giving it three stars, maybe I’d even give it less, but I simply can’t bring myself to do that after waiting so long for their story.

Necesitaba esta historia desde el primer tomo. No voy a negar que no sabía quien sería la pareja de Violet pero me daba igual. La ansiaba porque sabía en mi corazón que sería la última pero la mejor.
Las opiniones negativas de esta novela me hicieron ir con pies de plomo. Sin embargo, mis temores fueron infundados. La decepción fueron otros de los libros, este en cambio los eclipsa.

Amé cada capítulo y cada dialogo. Ha sido todo lo que necesitaba.

Se tenía que decir y se dijo.

“You know, Viol. The world is only what you make of it”.

3.5 stars
I was on the fence with this book. I loved getting to see Poppy and Viol’s pasts and to get a better understanding of them as people. Poppy was adorable and Viol was the spiky version of adorable. The direction chosen for their reunion was good too. However, I felt like more of their shared trauma needed to be discussed between them. It took away from their reconnecting imo. I’m excited for Gaius’ book

A MM paranormal romance which I'd been so excited to read! It's Dragon x Wolf, Omegaverse, A Grump who's so sweet to his Fated Mate, Second chance, Hurt/Comfort, Quite the Slowburn (with dash of insta), cute plushies, Adorable meddling family/friends & a love that was long time coming.
This one was the darkest in the series (the flashbacks 🥺). Also, no games (did u really think Viol will do them? Lol). Loved Viol & Poppy 🥹. Savored this in 10hrs over 2days. I started this the day before my exam 😂, couldn't resist as it was out already.

🐺Poppy is Omega Wolf shifter. He's so sweet, kind, gentle & ridden with anxiety. But he's also resilient, brave. I loved seeing how P's calm & soothes Viol when V panics 😭.
🐲Viol is Alpha Dragon shifter. He's a short-tempered, angry grump in leather. He's goofy, caring, protective under the defensive walls. V's nerves/guilt hurt 🥺, I'm glad he's got P (finally!). V's the middle child lol.

These 2 are such anxious beans 😩 *hugs*. Gosh, Viol met Poppy, his mate so many years ago. He could've gotten his HEA long ago, dammit 🥺. That freaking cult, assholes! They broke innocence 😭. I'd wondered if there's a misunderstanding as P kept coming to games, while V avoided P, but not really lol. Those flashbacks edged me HARD 😂. Why owl 🦉!

This story's somehow both Slowburn (they made us waittt) & Insta-Love (as fated mates). I liked their awkwardly cute interactions, so happy when they finally cleared the air of past & got together again 😍, hotties 😉 & plushies 😩☺️. Eachother's only 😭💞. It's Low angst in present ngl, but the past HURT (I was scared at times!). The climax was a good surprise, adored the m-preg & cute ending 🥰.

I liked we see everyone a lot here. I sympathized V not wanting to do the Games, tho I get his family wanted V to find love as they'd've. I'm excited that Gaius'll get a book 😍. There were a few typos, but oh well 🤷‍♀️. I was mad at Sorrell but he got sweet.

I did've questions, about lore & stuff. Tho, maybe these get answered in a previous book I've not read. Will read 'em all soon hopefully!
—Who babysat babes? I guess Gaius
—Every moment that poppy shifts without any mention of his clothes, was he naked or magically clothed too?
—We haven't gotten much magical explanation or world building ngl.
—Are there any more dragons?
—How have they gotten rich?
—How did the cult work? Why were there only Omegas mostly? With like seemingly just 3 alphas?

guys, im so sad; i have never in my life dnf'ed a hawke oakley book.
they usually get me out of my never ending slumps. they're easy to read, a bit stupid, and just lovely

i was so looking forward to Poppy and Viol's book but jesus christ what a disappointment :(

i might go back to it one day, but today is not that day

[Susi June · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm so happy that Poppy finally got his happily ever after!!
I basically waited years for this book and I'm so glad it's finally here.

I loved Poppy since book one. Seriously love him! He is one of my absolute favorite book characters, not just in this series but in general. He is the SWEETEST.
I like Viol too and I'm super glad that he is Poppy's mate. Though his actions pissed me off.

This book was full of yearning and pining. The way they longed for each other was breaking my heart. I cried a bit, not gonna lie. The love they felt for each other was pulling at my heart strings.

I normally dislike flashbacks in books but here I didn't mind it that much. After a while though, I got impatient and wanted to finish the story from 15 years ago. It dragged on.

That's my main issue, again the time jumps were okay and even interesting, I was involved in what happened but it took a lot of pages. I would be totally fine with the length, if we got more pages of current Poppy and Viol, especially when he was pregnant or when they waited for their kid to hatch. I was really disappointed when the end of the book came closer and closer and they still weren't pregnant. The first dick in butt sex took place after about 88% of the book, while in the other books they jumped each other's bones basically immediately. Not that the sex part is important to me but I wanted to see more of their relationship.
I LOVED that they were it for each other. Eventhough they didn't see each other for years they still didn't have anything with anybody else.

The tail wagging though, it is my kryptonite and Poppy became such a happy person. Ugh it was so cuuuuuute.

I couldn't put the book down, I started reading it as soon as it hit my kindle and finished it in one sitting. I loved this book even though I was disappointed and wished for something more? I'm glad that Gaius gets a book, I was really hoping for it.

[Eileen · Rating 3 out of 5]

I just don't like stories with so many flashbacks. And not mpreg anyway. But somehow I always come back to Oakleys books because they are (usually) so fluffy, silly and good palate cleaner. Next time I'll skip the whole mpreg thing again. I just think it is so cringe every time.
Viol and Poppy are cute, but communication? What is communication? Talk with each other ... 🤦🏻‍♀️
And at some point the scheme is really boring. Always only Alpha x omega and mpreg? Really? Why not alpha x alpha, ace, omega x omega, or they don't want children at all... Yes, I know, a very unusual/alien thought... 🤯🤷🏻‍♀️

Y llegó el esperado libro de Poppy. Fue muy lindo y la historia que merecía Poppy. Aunque igual me hubiera encantado ver más del presente que el pasado, pero entiendo que era necesario conocer lo que pasó hace más de 10 años.

En general, dejo la saga en tres estrellas. Algunas más cercana a 4 estrellas. Creo que es una saga entretenida, livianita, con romances rápidos y sin mayores dramas. Son historias para no tomarselas tan en serio y seguir las vibes.

Buen final para los hermanos dragones y sus omegas.

[Bibliophile · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very sweet read indeed ✨

I think this is by far the heart aching read from the series, the other book are full of sweetness and jokes + some hate/love romance. But this one are full on anxiousness, negative thinking and self hate from the start…. Yet i am glad it slowly come into a healing read and become sweet as ever 💕

The thing that happen to them are a tragedy yet it is also the event that make them know each other. Didn’t expect the last dragon to be with his mate is actually the first to find his mate ✨ 15 years of attempting to forget their moments together + Poppy effort on going to all 6 season in hope to be connected to Viol…. Ended up they just need a bit of forced proximity by dear Jade brilliant idea 👀

PS: Didn’t expect Viol full name is Violet… legit softened him up, kinda understand why he choose to go with Viol after the change —— that name legit give him the vibe ✨👀 + he is hella cute when he was small glad to read that small snippets of it 💖

[... · Rating 3 out of 5]

Huh. I'm not sure how I feel about this book. I think if it had been a standalone, it would have been easier to rate = readable but not memorable, and quite possibly a DNF. I just need to accept that the author writes very... childishly? That sounds super condescending, but idk what else to call it. And I don't just mean Viol's dialogue and characterization, although definitely that - like, he's 32? I mean, I don't know what that is in dragon years but he went on his adventure at 17 and this is 15 years later, so... Anyway, it's just that the writing voice overall is very teenage fanfic, which kinda gets old fast, but I already knew that and keep picking up occasional books from this author anyway for some quick, usually fluffy escapism (although not so much with the "fluff" in this one).

But for some reason, even knowing all that, I was a little extra disappointed in this book.

Maybe because Viol and Poppy having such an intense and intimate history together that was never even hinted at during the first five books, and only very vaguely alluded to at the end of the sixth felt like a cheap plotting trick. Like, it's fantastic to have hidden backstory for mysterious side-characters like Viol (side character = prior books), but to really sell it, there has to be enough hidden foreshadowing to really give it some substance when it's finally revealed, IMHO. But I think the true root of my disappointment is Poppy. He's adorable, and has been for the whole series. But the way he's portrayed in this one just feels off. Maybe because so much of the story was shown in flashback? Like, literally half of it, lol... and maybe that's just a me thing, since I haaaaaaaaaaaaate present day storylines that rely so heavily on flashbacks.

Annnnnyway... I'm sorely tempted to call it a two-star no thanks read for me, but I did finish it - even if the last third was just skimming - and Poppy definitely deserves his HEA, even though I'm underimpressed with Viol in general, and with both of them for doing absolutely nothing to resolve things during their 15 year separation, Poppy for not checking on his brother during that time, Poppy again for not getting any kind of therapy or dealing with his shit... like, sure, it's cute that he's an anxious ball of sunshine, but now that I know his trauma is 15 years old idk, it's just like... he's also in his thirties, so grow and fucking change along the way, please. But MOSTLY I'm irritated with Viol for also doing absolutely nothing to fix himself, deal with his guilt, find his fated mate - if not to be with, then to check on - acknowledge Poppy in any way during the first six dragonfate game seasons, or open up to his brothers. All of which is probably asking far too much for this author's and series' style. 🤣

But despite all that ranting, this silly little series has provided some cute, (mostly) fluffy escapism that I've (mostly) enjoyed, so what I might have hated on in a standalone book, I had a little more investment and patience for in this one. 🤷‍♀️ So three stars it is! AND I'll very likely pick up Gaius's book, too. 🤣🤣🤣

Bueno, con este libro se cierra la saga. Creo que llevaba esperando la historia de Viol desde hace dos o tres libros, y tal vez por eso me dejó una sensación agridulce. No sé si fue que esperaba más o simplemente algo distinto. No diría que la historia fue mala, porque tuvo cosas buenas. Por ejemplo, me gustó mucho que se alejaran por fin de la dinámica de los “juegos”. Sí, la saga se llama The Dragonfate Games (irónico, lo sé 😅), pero aquí de competencia no hubo nada, y se agradece que dejaran esa farsa para centrarse en el verdadero problema: qué había pasado con Viol y Poppy.

Sin embargo, la resolución fue… no decepcionante del todo, pero sí insuficiente. Se construyó muchísimo drama alrededor de lo ocurrido, uno se imaginaba algo realmente terrible, y al final fue como: ¿en serio eso era todo? Además, las razones por las que Viol se va y deja a Poppy a su suerte después de lo que pasó me parecieron muy flojas. Entiendo el shock inicial, que enloqueciera, que pensara lo peor y quisiera huir. Eso encaja. Pero ¿no habría sido más lógico que, después, reflexionara y lo buscara? Estamos hablando de su pareja destinada, alguien que no sabía absolutamente nada del mundo. Ni siquiera se interesó por algo tan básico como saber si había sobrevivido.
él literalmente se va, lo abandona y nunca vuelve a interesarse por su vida. Pudo vivir en la autocompasión y el reproche todo lo que quiera, pero… ¿en serio? Algo parecido pasa con Poppy y su hermano: se puede entender que pensara que había muerto y que no fuera seguro regresar, pero ahí también se notan exigencias de guion más que decisiones orgánicas.

Y la conclusión… bueno 😅 fue súper anticlimática. Está bien que quisieran cerrar el arco de la secta (los Restos), pero no tenía mucho sentido. Tenían la realidad completamente alterada creyendo que el hermano de Poppy —un omega— iba a vencer a un dragón. ¿Al mismo dragón que había matado a un alfa frente a todos? Tal vez me lo hubiera creído si no lo hubieran visto, pero ellos sabían. Y encima no lo hacen los osos, sino que están convencidísimos de que el chico puede hacerlo solo. Incluso ellos mismos después se quedan como “¿en qué estábamos pensando?”. O sea no tiene lógica.

Entiendo que no es el tipo de historia donde todo se resuelve a golpes, pero un poco más de lógica habría ayudado.

Dicho todo esto, parece que me estoy quejando muchísimo, así que voy a decir lo que sí me gustó. Para empezar, me encantan los finales felices, y sinceramente Viol y Poppy se merecían uno. Eso sí lo disfruté. Más allá de todo, creo que el libro pudo ser mejor, pero también sé lo complejo que es escribir una historia así. No lo odie ni nada, pero hay cosas que uno no puede ignorar🤣😅

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Alpha Dragon’s Wolf delivers a tender, emotionally grounded fated mates story that leans hard into healing, patience, and devotion. Viol is a beautifully written mess of guilt and self-loathing, and his prickly, closed-off exterior makes so much sense once the weight of his past comes into focus. The story takes its time unpacking his internal struggle, which makes every small step forward feel earned and deeply satisfying.

Poppy absolutely shines as the emotional heart of the story. His loyalty, gentleness, and unwavering hope create a perfect counterbalance to Viol’s darkness. Waiting six seasons for a mate who barely acknowledges him could have felt frustrating, but instead it highlights Poppy’s strength and quiet resilience. His love never feels naive; it feels intentional, grounded, and powerful in its patience.

The themes of forgiveness and chosen vulnerability are woven throughout in a way that feels soft rather than heavy-handed. Watching Viol slowly accept that love does not have to equal pain is incredibly rewarding, especially because Poppy never tries to force healing. The mpreg elements are handled sweetly and comfortably within the world, adding to the sense of found family and safety rather than overshadowing the emotional arc.

Hawke Oakley’s writing style leans cozy and intimate, with just enough angst to keep things compelling while still delivering on the promised fluffy HEA. The plushies, the private island setting, and the strong mate bond all contribute to a warm, comforting atmosphere that makes Alpha Dragon’s Wolf a lovely entry in the series and a satisfying read for anyone who enjoys gentle omegas, broody alphas, and love that refuses to give up.

I Wanted To Love This But Didn’t

I have been anxiously awaiting Poppy and Viol’s story and was so excited to learn the truth about their shared history. Unfortunately I was really disappointed in the whole thing.

Their backstory was interesting and honestly worked really well for both characters. However, after reading six other books about these dragon brothers finding their mates and going completely nuts for them, it was never going to work to suddenly have a story where Viol found his fated mate, and chose to completely abandon him for fifteen years! Especially with zero attempt to keep an eye on him.

We’ve heard in other books how the alphas are always wanting to provide and make sure their mates are taken care of, so even if Viol didn’t think he deserved Poppy, how are we supposed to believe he didn’t make sure Poppy had a place to live or money to live on? That didn’t fit to the character and books we’ve read already in the series.

I also find it hard to believe that Viol and Poppy were near to each other for what must have been six or seven years and yet neither found a way to see each other or attempt to reach out.

What also bothered me were the inconsistencies from previous books in the timelines. Poppy’s pregnancy lasted almost six months where the others were described as being only a month before the egg was birthed and maybe another month or two before it hatched. I found it really distracted me from the book to notice all those small inconsistencies.

I’m happy I read the series and I had a lot of fun with it but I wish it ended on a higher note.

**3.5 STARS**

I liked this story but I didn't love it, and after six books of anticipation, that's exactly what I expected to happen. The story is as much about Viol and Poppy's past as it is about their budding romance.

My main issues lie in the fact that the flashbacks made up way too much of the story and took up way too much of the time. This build up, Viol avoiding Poppy for 15 years, 6 rounds of DragonFate Games, all summed up to essentially a miscommunication had me wanting to throw my Kindle across the room. Viol and Poppy deserved more... hell I deserved more.

I don't know, Viol and Poppy are both clearly in love with each other, they just avoid each other and then magically declare one another fated mates and live happily-ever-after. There was no transition, no apologies for the years of anguish that Viol put Poppy through, the story just desperately needed something. And then to tack on additional drama with the Tundra Clan, I was truly annoyed that Poppy and Viol literally didn't get a moment of peace.

They deserved better, I was hoping for a nice wrap up chapter, as I usually see at the end of these long interconnected series, but no such thing here. Meh...that's how I feel finishing this...meh.

[hailee haloka · Rating 3 out of 5]

Honestly, I was a little let down with this one. I think it was a little rushed, and it could've been more. We've gotten so many sweet hints from Violet throughout the series, and in the last book we got backstory on his mysterious personality. My first gripe is the continuity error in this book. During the beginning of Rory's book we get a glimpse of Sorrel and what Rory has to say. He mentions how "Sorrel's older brother was supposed to be Konrad's top child-bearer before he disappeared in the avalanche's chaotic aftermath" (pg 6.) BUT we learn in this book that Poppy was originally chosen as a hunter and Sorrel was the chosen one child bearer. Also, Sorrel was chosen as a child-bearer but again in the previous book Rory mentions Sorrel waiting to be chosen as a child-bearer for knox so im a little confused. I also feel like after how much Viol was built up we were let down a little bit. All of that to say, i still thoroughly enjoyed the book and most likely will read it again in the future.

I’ve been waiting the entire series for Poppy & Violet’s love story…and then it sorta flopped. There was so much potential to put spins on the formula for the series. Violet could have refused to be on the games so instead, they could have made Poppy the star of the show and have alphas fighting over him. They could have had Poppy stolen by the clan while he was unknowingly pregnant. There could have been DRAMA. Instead, it was a bit sterile. I like them together but the book just didn’t give me what I wanted. I teared up a few times but again, overall just meh. Plus the way the book was structured, it felt like it was wrapped up and then you still had like 40% of the book to read. Then it felt done again with the clan scene…and then it went on again. There wasn’t much uniqueness to their story, the sex scenes were LAZY, and overall it just gave nothing. I feel this rating is generous even.

Thank god there was no games. Only the first one should have had them. I have such a weird love and dislike for this series. I read all of them and was annoyed most of the time hahahha which is weird for me because I’ll dnf a book easily, so something about them kept my attention. I been waiting for this book though so that’s part of the reason I didn’t give up completely.

Violet leaving the first time was weird but fine I guess but I would be PISSED that he let me be on 6 other games. Like wtf. Poppy was not mad enough about that part. Also poppy should have called him Violet the whole time especially when they were alone. I think that would be special and sweet.

Anyways giving it 5 stars but it’s more 5 stars for this series and maybe 3.5-4 in general. I just loved poppy and viol characters from the start so I was happy to read it.

Look here, I said it before, my expectations were in the freaking sky. We have known Poppy since book 1! We love him! He is an amazing friend, he would literally take his skin if it would warm another, he is the most selfless person ever, I was expecting a lot people, A LOT! I was expecting fireworks; I was expecting groveling. I wanted Viol to feel ashamed for waiting so long and also to feel his love for eternity, because Poppy deserves it. Did I get it? I mean.... kinda? This book doesn't feel like the end of a series. Poppy is happy, which is all I want for him, but I think he deserves more. Yes, Viol feels guilty, and he apologized; he loves Poppy, but I was expecting freaking fireworks, and got a tiny little candle of warmth and hope.

I'm not sure if I'm happy or... I don't know, just go and read, but maybe go with lower expectations than I had.

FINALLY VIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!
i've been waiting for this book since i read the first in the series and met viol.:)

i need everyone to back off from viol! he's not the bad guy here and i seriously hate how everyone treats him.
it's not just poppy who is sensitive and needs love, taylor & alaric, im TALKING TO YOU!!

i ADORE VIOL AND GAIUS,
i can't be normal about them...
they are my all time favourite characters.

this was honestly the only book with some plot and background info and less sex and i was here for it, as a matter of fact, I LOVE IT!

i needed more scenes with viol and ALL THE OMEGAS BEING FLUFFY, but whatever.
im still not alaric's biggest fan though.

can't wait for the next book with gaiu's story.
i also can't believe how good of a friend gaius actually is and i love that everyone sees him as family, because HE IS.

5 stars, 10/10, loved this SO MUCH! I’ve been dying for Poppy and Viols book from the moment I met Poppy, and was so intrigued by Viol and wanted to know more every book. I love them so much and this book did SO well by them both. They both got the relationship they deserved and I am so happy with it. This book had a lot more seriousness to it than the first few (I mean really, very different from the first book) and the angst hurt my heart, but I was smiling at these two so often.

I love that Poppy had a wolf pup, and can’t wait for Gaius’s book. I love that Poppy’s brother is safe, and so is the rest of the clan, and the storytelling with the past and present was perfect. Overall I just love this book and series! I am so happy I decided to take a chance on it.

[Ash White · Rating 3 out of 5]

I loved the other books in this series, but felt that this one did not live up to expectations. I loved all the backstory, but I think that it could have been shortened. I was also confused by the timeline towards the end, where it was not made clear whether it was a flashback or happening in the present. On the note of pacing, like I somewhat alluded to above, this book was way too slow and then way too fast. It almost felt like, since all the other books had MPEG in them, they forced it in here and didn't really give it much thought. Now, don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore this series, but in my personal opinion, it could have been better

[Hannah Boyd · Rating 3 out of 5]

After waiting what seems like forever for Poppy and Viols book I’m sad to say i was left really disappointed with it. I thought this would be my favorite out of all the series but nope 🫠

I’m not really into when time lapses/time flashbacks happen in books and that happens so much in this! It felt like i couldn’t really get immersed into Viol and Poppy in the present because it was always switching to them 15 years ago which is so frustrating.

I was bored at points in the books while reading and it felt really rushed.

This wasn’t what I was hoping for or expecting but I’m glad they did have a HEA in the end. I’m just sad to end the series on this.

No Dragenfate Games this time, but instead we got more backstory. I do not really like jumps into the past and that is exactly what I got here, but, it was interrupted and fairly short so it barely affected my mood while reading. I was interested about what happened, especially with how the previous books build on that, so I assume that helped a bunch.

Poppy and Viol were adorable together and just overall an anxious mess. I feel like this book was the mildest on the smut, which fit nicely with my cosy reading evening. These books are just mostly cute, even when there is a heavy topic included.

No lo sentí como un cierre, capaz porque queda el libro de Gaius, pero me parece que le faltó más.
Poppy no era mi personaje favorito pero después de leer todo lo que le pasó le agarre un poco de cariño. Viol al final termino teniendo una personalidad que no me esperaba, me dio pena que haya tenido que pasar por todo eso solo por miedo al rechazo de Poppy. Igual no tiene sentido que su alfa interior no haya querido ir corriendo a donde estaba Poppy durante las demás temporadas, y no aceptó la idea de que el lo puede controlar mejor porque eso sería super conveniente.
Yo esperaba una pelea toda epica pero se resolvió todo hablando así que chau pelea.

4.5 ⭐

Esperaba la historia de Poppy desde el primer libro, y contrario a todas las reseñas negativas que leí antes de siquiera empezar su libro, no me decepcionó.

Claro, el factor reality TV no estuvo en el turno de Viol y Poppy, pero honestamente su historia funcionó mejor así, recordando el pasado mientras ellos volvían a conectar en el presente. A pesar de todo el dolor y las dificultades con las que lidiaron, verlos dejar sus miedos atrás y amarse como tanto añoraban, fue muy lindo.

Disfruté muchísimo su historia, su amor, la resolución de los arrepentimientos qué cargaban desde el pasado, y verlos siendo una familia preciosa.💖

3.5 but I rounded up because I love this series.

I am so glad to see the other reviews feel the same way as me. Don't get me wrong, I love reading about Viol and Poppy's story but I guess I was expecting more too and was sort of let down. The author was building up Viol's story in all the previous books so I think everyone was so excited.

There was a hint there in the end about Gaius so that's exciting. (I am also hoping for a book where all the brothers have a chapter, kind of what happened after the HEAs, lol...)
