Packed Up at Harbor U #1
An Omega’s Guide to Falling in Love
Posey Hale is living the dream by getting to attend Harbor University as an unbonded omega. The problem with that dream? She still has absolutely no clue what she wants to do with her life.
The thing she does want? Well, that’s sort of a secret. More of a wish than a plan. She’d never admit it to anyone, but what Posey wants to find more than anything else at Harbor U is her pack.
Only when she finally meets them, it doesn’t exactly go as planned. Between the giant baseball playing golden retriever, moody obsessive stalker, his sweet but shy twin, and the surly pack lead hell bent on keeping her away, this omega already has her hands full.
Add in a new best friend, anonymous gifts, and two surprise heats, and Posey is about to find out just how messy it can be getting Packed Up at Harbor U.

There was nothing about this book that I didn’t love. It’s the perfect cosy, low angst omegaverse book filled with spice.
I thoroughly enjoyed how they each met Posey, it was beyond adorable. The storyline didn’t feel rushed and I was hooked all the way through.
Posey is the sweet and sassy FMC that’s just moved to a small town in Maine to attend college.
Mack, the adorable golden retriever alpha who’s also a baseball player. He’s also a virgin which I loved.
The twins, Parker and Paxton. Totally different personalties but both equally obsessed with Posey. Parker is a tad grumpy and has a nose ring. Paxton is sweet and slightly anxious.
Jude is the oldest at around 24, he’s also the pack lead and a professor. He’s super reluctant to have an omega because of what he’s dealing with but he does redeem himself.
Each character was so unique and they blended perfectly. The Madden pack are utterly devoted to Posey and it was so darn sweet.
There is no third act breakup, no OW drama. Just a story filled with obsessed alphas, falling over themselves to get their girl.
Thank you so much Hallie for the ARC.

A very sweet Omegaverse romance with low drama, medium (and I think that's being generous) heat college romance, FMMMM reverse harem, and none of the swords cross. Two of them are brothers, so it's honestly kind of a good thing in this case. This Omegaverse world is very progressive and Omega's have the same rights as alphas do, and the college that they all attend is set up to accommodate that. This cute romance story has some great niche micro tropes too! Cumming in his pants just from eating her out and a virgin MMC (& FMC).
You've got your standard Omegaverse pack set up. A nerdy, uptight professor who is the head of the pack and is sensible and no nonsense. Consequently, he's the one who is anti-Omega. You have a jock-type who's kind of an oaf and lets everything slide off of him, but he's also really smart. A golden retriever, who is literally described as sunshine personified by his pack-mates. And lastly, the very emotional brooding packmate, who is frequently lowkey described as the resident bad boy. Oh! And one of the packmates is a trust fund baby, so they're loaded. Perfect cocktail of a pack honestly.
One point of irritation for me was how one of the MMC's handles his initial realization that the FMC was his scent match. It makes very little sense to me in these Omegaverse stories when one of the MMC's is like, "I don't want any Omega!" Even though it would help with their mental state (aka alpha rabidity from not having an Omega) and stop them from needing to be institutionalized when they go crazy. The solution literally drops into their laps and they're refusing to accept what is likely the easiest and best solution for them both. It's frustrating to say the least. The only upside to this story is that the dickhead who feels the need to stay away from the Omega for her own good has an excellent pack behind him and calls him out on his behavior and makes him talk things out. And they did so before things got so out of hand it didn't seem like an impossibility for him to turn things around with the FMC.
While this was a very cute college romance, it was honestly a little bit boring. There is spice in it, but the scenes lacked any real heat - just couldn't feel it while reading. Since it's a low drama story there wasn't anything particularly thrilling to keep you hooked since the spice didn't do it. Really liked the story and didn't have an issue finishing this one, but just kind of felt "meh" about it once I was done and not like I would miss any of the characters. I wouldn't say skip it, but if you're looking for low drama with more cozy feels than high heat, this might be the book for you.

This is a very generic, shallow omegaverse. Normally something like this would get 3 stars for being basic but inoffensive and I would move on but a few things really bugged me so it's down to 2.
First, Posey reads very young. She refers to her Dad as Daddy, she giggles constantly and has childlike excitement over the smallest things, clapping her hands and bouncing around. Put together with the college setting, her having no experience with men and not a lot of character depth, it gave me the ick.
Jude sucked. I get having one of the pack not being all in at first. It provides tension and opportunities for growth but Jude's initial rudeness to Posey just stops from one page to the next and she instantly forgives him. Why even put that story line in if you aren't going to really explore it.
Skip this!

Çok güzeldi! Gerçekten çok tatlı bir kitaptı. Sıkmadı, boş boş uzamadı, uzun olsun diye gereksiz sorunlar vs olmadı! Bu şekilde tatlı ilerlemesi çok hoşuma gitti.
Jude ilk başta sinirli olması ve ters davranması biraz sinir bozucu olsa da bunun kısa sürmesine çok uzatılmaması çok iyiydi. Yüzünüzde gülümseme ile okuyorsunuz.
Kısaca tatlı ve güzel bir kitaptı. Ağır kitaplardan sonra ya da rs'deyseniz iyi gelecek kitaplardan birisi.

ARC TIME
for the past few months I’ve had little to no motivation to read. I saw I got this arc and I was like might as well try. WHEN I SAY I COULDNT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. I MEAN IT. I was literally on vacation with my sister and she had to pry my kindle out of my hands. I read more than half of this book in one sitting. I was SO into it, I didn’t want it to end but I just wanted to keep reading. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!

this was fine for an OV, but i didn’t really feel a connection to the fmc, Posey, or any of the mmcs. i felt like we got too little of glimpses of the alphas personalities and they were more told to us by other characters than actually seeing it.
i also thought this would have some fall vibes, esp since they’re in Maine, but we got more mentions of Georgia than we did Maine.
and there was NO grovel from Jude. she just forgave him bc he’s her scent match and he was going feral. there was also no conversation about Posey and Jude’s bonding between them after which was honestly disappointing. there needed to be a convo between them.
also to have twins in a pack and no twin sandwich???
okay so maybe after writing out this review, i was a little more disappointed in this book than i thought lol.

I had the honor of alpha reading for Hallie as usual, but rereading it to prepare for my first read through of book 2 is such a treat and I’m reminded of how much I love this new cozy little world she created for us

A sweet read.
Loved the MMC’s and all their different quirks.
A couple of small negatives…
There were more than a handful of spelling mistakes, I’d assume these would’ve been picked up prior to publishing, and I didn’t feel the spice had any depth or feeling to them, no real build up at all.
Other than that, if you’re after a cute omegaverse romance, give it a try x

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cinco estrellas, sin lugar a dudas. Y si tuviera que darle seis estrellas, se las daría, porque este libro me encantó de principio a fin. Empecé a leer el primer capítulo y supe que ahí me quedaba. Lo supe desde el momento en que entré en esta historia. Era justo lo que necesitaba: la extensión, el contexto, la cantidad de páginas, la forma en que se desarrollaban las cosas… Todo estaba medido de una manera que me encantó. La autora me dio exactamente la información que necesitaba, sin sentir que faltaba algo ni que sobraba demasiado.
Me encantó cómo se desarrolló la historia y cómo me hizo cambiar de opinión respecto a los personajes. Hubo momentos en los que podía odiar a uno y, después, terminar queriéndolo otra vez. Cada uno tuvo algo que me hizo conectar con él, incluso aquellos que al principio no me caían tan bien.
Y, bebé, si este es el libro que la autora escribió después de tomarse una pausa, ¡esa pausa te sentó de maravilla! Porque yo amé este libro. Fue exactamente lo que esperaba y muchísimo más.
La protagonista me encantó. Los protagonistas masculinos también, cada uno a su manera. Los gemelos, el beisbolista, el profesor… Aunque debo admitir que el profesor me cayó medio mal al principio. Después llegué a entenderlo un poquito más y terminé pensando: bueno, vale, te voy dando una oportunidad. Pero ese hombre sí tiene sus problemitas.
Ahora, el beisbolista… DIOS MÍO. Estoy completamente tragada de él. Es mi favorito, mi número uno. Lo amé desde el principio. Las carticas, la forma en que se intercambiaban el informe… ¡Ay, no! Todo me parecía demasiado bonito. Yo pasaba leyendo y pensando: «Dios mío, son demasiado lindos. Dios mío, son demasiado cute». De verdad, me tenían completamente enamorada.
Y es que no fueron solamente los protagonistas. Me encantó cada uno de los personajes y la dinámica entre ellos. Eran intensos, celosos, tenían sus personalidades y sus propias maneras de querer, y a mí todo eso me fascinaba. La tensión, las interacciones, la historia… Siento que la autora lo contó todo muy bien. Cada cosa tenía su lugar y pude disfrutar del desarrollo sin sentir que la lectura se volvía pesada.
También me gustó mucho la familia de ella. Tenía una sensación tan cozy, tan bonita, que disfruté muchísimo cada momento que compartían. Me habría encantado conocer todavía más sobre ella cuando era pequeña y profundizar un poquito más en su personalidad y en la de los chicos, pero, aun así, estoy muy satisfecha con lo que recibí.
Siento que este libro tiene el tamaño idóneo para una lectura así: cozy, rapidita, entretenida y espectacular. No necesita alargarse innecesariamente para hacerte sentir cosas ni para conseguir que te encariñes con sus personajes. Todo fluye de una manera que me funcionó perfectamente.
De verdad, me encantó demasiado. Fue de esas historias que lees de seguido porque no quieres salir de ese mundo, y cuando terminas te quedas pensando en lo mucho que disfrutaste a sus personajes. Me hizo sentir exactamente lo que quería sentir mientras leía un romance así.
Un besito a la autora, porque de verdad se lució con este libro. Ya quiero leerme el segundo, pero eso será otro día, bebé, porque después de leerme este de seguido necesito descansar un poquito. Ahora voy a buscar una historia de un género completamente diferente para cambiar de aires.
Pero qué cosa tan bonita fue esta lectura. Cinco estrellas y no me quita nadie esa calificación. Si pudiera darle seis, se las daba. Amé la historia, amé a los personajes y, por encima de todo, amé a mi beisbolista. ❤️

This was too cutesy, Posey goes to college away from her family only to meet four men who are obsessed with her. I really liked this, the way Posey was so different with each of these men and how they don't play about each other.. I'm glad Jude got his act together tho I understood him.
I can't say I have a favourite but something about McKenzie and Parker got me, McKenzie is so bubbly and Parker is so chill plus the way he's so territorial, I was wondering if he actually wants to share..
I liked Paxton's being a sunshine but nasty in the bedroom, I needed more of Jude's grumpy ass while he's in love though..
Overall, I liked this..

ARC Review
I loved this book because of all the distinct personalities! From Posey to Paxton to Parker to Mack to Jude!! I was intrigued when I saw this was a FMMMM relationship but I was surprised to learn that none of the men ‘crossed swords’ and they were all focused on Posey. I think it was so sweet that all the alphas were so in tuned with giving Posey what she needed and wanted at all times. This is the kind of devotion that every girl deserves!!

There wasn’t a single part of this book. I didn’t enjoy. It was such a bingeable read. All the personalities that made up this pack had me smiling from ear to ear while reading this book. Posey was the perfect fit for the Mack Pack. Every part of the bonding journey they had to go through had me in a chokehold. The heat was HOT 🥵. I just couldn’t put the book down. I can’t wait for book 2!

So.... I read this in one sitting and I ate it UP. omg I loved this book so much. It was so cute and cozy, but also so 🥵🥵. I loved each relationship dynamic in the pack and Hallie wrote each character with such depth, that I felt every emotion (that epilogue 😭). I loved how this book truly had no real drama and was such low stakes. 10/10 would recommend.

cute
This was a cute read, I didn’t want to put it down.. it’s 2am and finally finished it. By far my favorite character was Jude 😆
I loved that she had a different connection with each of the guys and that they truly were a pack. And the spice was amazing 😈
If your starting an omega verse this is a good book to start

gahhhh
I loved this so much!! I ate it up and I want more!! Primrose is definitely a mix between sweet and sassy and I loved that you could never guess what she was going to do next. Mack is my favorite though.

This is honestly a prime example of why I thought I wouldn’t enjoy OV. It’s, dare I say, too horny. I like some spice as much as the next person, but when it feels like that all there really is to the “romance” it just kind of ruins it for me.

This is my first book that is primarily about Omega's and Alphas and I fell in love. This book was like a warm blanket that surrounded me. There was no drama or clique scenes. The characters were brilliantly described and I fell in love with them. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Exactly what I’m looking for when I go searching “cozy omegaverse”. The perfect length, just the right amount of angst, and men that are utterly obsessed with their little omega.

Having on MMC want NOTHING to do with the FMC is so. So annoying. And then the other MMCs just letting it play out and not TALK is so dumb.
March 24, 2026
This was such a sweet OV! I absolutely adored Posey and her guys! Mack was a complete sweetheart, Parker and Paxton were perfect as a grumpy/sunshine duo and them all falling immediately was exquisite. And then we have broody Jude and I loved watching him fight it and fall hard anyways. They fit so well with each other and make up a pretty perfect pack. The spice hits all the right notes and I love the surprise heat element!

If you love sweet and sassy Omegas, hot alphas, scent matches, unexpected heats, and being called a “good girl” this book is for you!
Fast paced, low stakes, fun read.

A cozy read with little angst. Posey feels a little *too* perfect. Kind, thoughtful, always cheerful, doesn't hold grudges... she should have at least one weakness or negative quality to make her human. She's even a conscientious student and she loves to crochet. Her favourite colour is pink, so she's a very girly girl and unapologetic about it.
The only angst comes from Jude, who keeps pushing her away and insisting to his pack that he doesn't want an omega... even though being with an omega is the cure for his illness. Eh? Make it make sense. His reason is that he's afraid he might lose control of his alpha and hurt her. But we don't get that much of his POV, so we don't get to see him agonise over how much he wants her and how he feels he has to push her away. We don't get to see his remorse or disgust with himself when he sees her face fall when he speaks harshly and rudely to her. I feel that this was needed in order for us to believe that he actually did want her all along.
The other guys are on board from the start. Parker, the "grumpy" and somewhat obsessive twin, Paxton, the empathetic and soft-hearted twin, Mack/Mackenzie, the baseball player who hopes to get drafted to play professionally, and who is basically a golden retriever in human form. All of them instantly recognise Posey as a scent match the moment they catch a whiff of her scent.
I liked how Posey didn't fight her instincts and allowed herself to respond to each of the guys in turn, even though she didn't realise at first that they were scent matches and didn't know why she was so strongly attracted to each of them. I loved her close relationship with her parents and with her cousin; I was disappointed we didn't see more of her cousin, actually, and that she didn't allow her cousin to support her as she built her relationship with the guys. I especially felt it was so sad how she chose to spend her first heat, even though it makes sense that the author didn't want Posey to spend her heat with a different alpha who wasn't one of her eventual pack.
At least Posey had Lainey as a friend, but it is never explained why Lainey stopped responding to calls and messages and disappeared for a few days. Posey also started to build a friendship with another guy, Lucky, but only had two interactions with him and then he disappeared from the rest of the story, like as if he was just a convenient character that the author decided to insert to give Jude a reason to become a jealous asshole. That's lazy writing, in my opinion. I did feel that Posey could have done with more people in her corner, whom she could talk to about what was happening.
Jude's 180° turnaround was much too fast, it was like whiplash. One moment he's snapping at Posey, accusing her of flirting with Lucky and not paying attention in class, and the next moment he's giving her a heartfelt apology for being an asshole and letting his fears drive him into acting deplorably. It was so weird. I felt that we should have seen him fighting against his instincts to push her away or to say mean things to her. And then, almost against his will, we should have seen him do small things that he hoped would make her happy or that he knew she liked, even while still having some asshole moments. And finally, he decides he's not going to fight against the scent match any more, and makes the apology. That series of events would have been more believable.
I also felt, after the initial very cute exchange of notes and mutual gift-giving, it was sad that all that stopped and never came back again. Posey never made anything else for the guys, and Parker never cooked for her again. Like with Lucky whom I mentioned above, it was like the author used the crocheting and the baking as a convenient plot device and then forgot all about them. She forgot that this is supposed to be part of her characters. It's who they are. Posey says crocheting is her favorite hobby and one that she reaches for when she gets overwhelmed. Well, she has plenty of overwhelming feelings with Jude's shitty behaviour and the attention or adoration of the other three alphas, but does she ever sit down to crochet? No.
Parker is supposed to be grumpy and taciturn but he is never that once he meets her, like he got a 180° personality change. Sure, he's intense and obsessive and slightly stalkerish, but that is different from being a curmudgeon who doesn't want to talk to people. Again, the author forgot who she originally made Parker to be, so his character didn't stay consistent, just like Jude's character changed too suddenly and quickly.
Mack and Paxton are uncomplicated characters, so they stayed consistent throughout. Both have heart eyes for Posey right from the beginning and are her devoted servants lol.
It could have been a five-star read. The conflict with Jude (and him fighting himself too) could have been intriguing and compelling. It could have made me feel sympahy for his inner torment and fears. But the author failed to help me connect with Jude. He doesn't feel torn or yearning or in agony over his decision to push Posey away. He doesn't feel remorseful or self-loathing for hurting her. He's just so matter-of-fact: I have this disease and it's dangerous and so I shall keep it to myself and tell no one. He didn't even seem to care that by rejecting Posey, he was tearing his pack apart and hurting the other guys. I just didn't feel ANYTHING coming from him, and that was disappointing.
