Saint Vista Pack Regimes #1
The Knotty Girls Club
Omegas without a pack have no rights. We’re only as worthy as the alphas we mate with, and my uncle killed mine before I had the chance.
I’ve been making it fine on my own...until now.
After I’m caught taking illegal suppressant pills, allowing me to pass as a beta, I’m sent to be an entertainer for the most notorious alphas in the Pack Regime.
Except I never make it.
The Gilded Sands pack princes accidentally abduct me during a contraband heist. The last thing these possessive, hot men need is an unbonded omega in their household, but I stumble across a secret—one they’re willing to kill for.
Now, they won’t let me leave.
To survive a brewing war, I must do whatever it takes to ensure their secret remains safe. An omega is only as powerful as her alpha, and these princes will be mine.

DNFing mid-Ch 13
It's just okay
I don't want to be mean, but I'm surprised this isn't a debut author. I've read fanfic better. To be fair, omegaverse and kidnap/dystopia/alphas-rule-the-world is a genre I frequent, so it has to be pretty good to impress me.
In general, there's a lot of exposition. Sometimes it's repetitive, sometimes not. But always too much. Even so, everything somehow moves too fast when basically nothing has happened. There's no reason for anyone to like each other, so any attraction, lust, or caring feels really out of place and sudden. I'm not invested in what politic drama is supposed to be happening.
I like the sister, Holly, and she story of being protected from a shitty alpha team. But, she doesn't get a lot of page-time even though we talk about her a lot. But I like that she and Kinsley, though both omegas, get along.
The guys are all the same, and I don't care about any of them. I hate how quickly Wilder flips to liking Kinsley. Desmond could be good, a la the beta and omega male leads in Kathryn Moon's Sweet Omegaverse. Alas, I won't know.
Whatever alpha territory/politics dynamic is happening is poorly fleshed out, causing it to be cookie-cutter-y.
I found myself just really bored, even when steam kinda starts to pick up.

DNF mid-chapter 2
There is an overwhelming amount of exposition. Everything is overexplained repeatedly. Characters thoroughly detail their thought processes and actions where there isn't a need to. Conversely, plot bombshells are dropped that are skipped over. The wrong things are being focused on. On a technical level, the writing is very much something you'd find on Wattpad. The MC is whiny with a tragic backstory and overall unlikeable.

Good story, but....
3.5 stars really..... Gosh, this is tricky. So, I love Omegaverse, and I really wanted to give this 5stars, I really did, but it just wasn't there for me. I also like to think that I'm really supportive of indie authors, and I truly hope that this review is not taken in too harsh a light, but I also feel that I have to be truthful. It's really really tricky.
So, what I liked. I liked the storyline, and generally liked the characters, and honestly it had so much potential but sadly it just didn't come together for me. Why?
So, aside from the few grammar and tense errors, there was a fair bit of inconsistency throughout, the characters seemed to flip flop about so much it was a bit of a heads pin, one minute Kelsey is badass and arguing and fighting, the next she's cowering, and the next she's given up, then she's all sassy again and then all horny all in the space of a few minutes of time, it's just unreal. Same with the guys, particularly Wilder. I struggled with so much happening to them in a short space of time, supposed prince's of their world, we are told how badass they are but they keep getting caught out, again its inconsistent. I also struggled with the writing style particularly in the conversations between characters, it was like the author needed to tell us something or explain something to us the reader so it was written into an unrealistic conversation. Half the conversations had between the MCs were so unreal I couldn't ever imagine saying something like that to another person. We were just told that these characters were this way, instead of finding out for ourselves through actions, words, scenarios etc. I ended up skip reading quite a few bits because of this, again a real shame.
I don't know about book 2 tbh. I really did enjoy the storyline in spite of there being unrealistic areas to it all, and because of the cliffy I would like to find out what happens next, but I just don't know that I can deal with similar issues I mentioned above again in book 2. So I'm undecided. I'm sorry. I did really like the story. Perhaps you, as a reader, would find it much more enjoyable and real than I did?

DNF at 75% - I should have stopped sooner 🤷
It seems that non-shifter omegaverse has grown popular which makes it more hit or miss for me, much like with the popularity surge of high school bully romance.

This is the first time I've read a Ginna Moran book and I loved it. The Knotty Girls is the first book in Moran's Saint Vista Pack Regimes, it had everything I was looking for in a good omegaverse plus a plot that most definitely kept me on my toes and had a great cast of characters. The story is told from Kinsey's point of view and the point of view of her love interests. Kinsey is being shipped (forcefully) to a pack of cruel alphas and is accidentally kidnapped by the Gild Sands Pack. The guys don't know what to do with her and Kinsey is pissed, let the hijinks begin.
Kinsey is an omega out in the wild, hiding in plain sight using suppressants, and let me tell you the chick is brave enough and clever enough to get away with it in a world that treats omegas like a thing to be used. I liked Kinsey, she was smart and knew how things worked, plus she wasn't afraid of her omega-self just the way she would be treated. Kinsey is a survivor who refused to give up her freedom even when she finds herself in difficult situations, she's a little spitfire.
The Gilded Sands alpha heirs are the ones that accidentally kidnapped darling Kinsey, this pack of brothers are dangerous and hotter than sin. These brothers couldn't be more different but have a strong bond as brothers knowing that they will equally lead their people one day and share a mate. Walker is an overprotective alpha jerk who doesn't know when to shut up but he has won my forgiveness by the end. Arsenio is the calm one who has a little suave, then there is Desmond the brains but is a beta who feels like he has a lot to prove, and finally Enzo, my Enzo. I love Enzo, he's my favorite of the brothers, the brutal but loveable one who fell for Kinsey pretty much from the start.
The brothers are in the middle of some dangerous stuff and Kinsey is a complication they don't need but they couldn't help but fall for her one by one. By the end the connection that Kinsey and the guys formed was undeniable and they all were so cute with her I loved it and even though I'm not the one for delayed steam I enjoyed the building of their relationship.
Moran delivered us to the dark underbelly of the ABO world. The omegas are treated as property, used as monetary value, used to elevate someone's status, or to broker deals. The omegas don't have any say, often they are abused, and forced into sex work where alphas don't have to bond with omegas or care for them in any way. The bonds aren't highly valued by most of the rich and powerful as they should be. There are territories and a bunch of packs, and kingdoms with actual kings, arranged matings, backroom deals, and more. Moran did a great job with what I call hazy dark. The main character finds themselves in a bubble where things aren't bad and as a reader, I know that the darkness of this world is there but I'm so focused on the characters that I kinda push it to the side. There is sex traffic, murder, territory disputes, attacks, drugs (suppressants), and a whole bunch of other stuff that just makes this world a lot more interesting.
The Knotty Girls was great, it took me on a wild ride, I loved not knowing what was gonna happen next. This book was very entertaining, not only did the surprises kept rolling in but it had its funny moments (the group texts, yall😂) and had plenty of action and banter. I'm hooked now and Moran went and pushed readers off the cliff at the end that had me screaming Kinsey's favorite line in this book. I'm jumping on the next book as soon as I can.

This was such a descriptive storyline with a great detailed background.
We meet Kinsley, our Omega with a horrible past who’s just trying to get by as a Beta who doesn’t need the help of a pack. Taking suppressant pills to keep her scent and omega needs at bay have been a lifesaver. Only until the price is too great and things start to unfold.
When her corrupt boss/Madam sells her to a pack of Alphas who only want an Omega to breed, she is kidnapped in the crosshairs by another pack who she soon finds is the best thing to ever happen.
Wilder, Arsenio, Enzo and Desmond - all rightfully possessive, hot male, caring Princes. They have their own secret and are determined to make the world a better place.
The back and forth between all of the characters is 🔥 and when they finally do admit to their feelings, the combination is explosive.
Insert King Winston, the wild card and their connection instantly fizzles out. He’s the only thing stopping them from their HEA and when Kinsley is sold and drugged, he seems to be the answer to everything. All she wants is her final happy ending, is it possible with this pack? Or was she destined to live a life of misery? After all - that’s all she’s ever really known.
I really enjoyed this story! There were so many moments where I thought the story was going in one direction but then it changed into another. The author was very descriptive and made a fantastic story. The storyline was so good, I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen with book 2!
You don’t want to miss this!

DNF at 27% when the alpha Wilder got around to giving a dramatic over-the-top apology for his overall asshole behavior to the omega FMC Kinsey.
The personalities of the men were very one-dimensional, and I got bored of reading about their interactions with Kinsey and glacial relationship development. The beginning started off with the typical "omega on heat suppressants because of abused past but oh-no, no more drugs and now she's revealed and in a pack."
I didn't understand the alpha society at all even after almost 100 pages - were these packs all illegal mafia societies or were they ruling over kingdoms with specific borders? It honestly sounded more like neighborhoods in a populated city rather than something with distinct enforced borders. The men were called princes with a reigning king and lived in some sort of mansion palace with wings, but they had no guards or security that I could tell on their borders, and the men stole and murdered competing pack's illicit smuggled materials. There was a lot of talking with unrealistic and stilted dialogue, and the relationships were very superficial when I quit reading.
I wasn't interested in slogging through another 75% of the book, and skipping to the end, it looked like there is a terrible cliffhanger. I did not find the writing enjoyable and will not be reading any more of the series.

4.5 ⭐️’s rounded up
I’m a big fan of Ginna’s writing and this book was no exception. It’s a little more fastburn than I prefer but it was a pretty solid read. The fmc Kinsey is a crier but I think it’s suitable as she’s someone who has had a lot of trauma, and while I’m usually not a fan of fmc’s who cry at the drop of the hat. I understood why she acted the way she did and there were just enough moments of toughness from her that it was bearable. To me she sort of embodies the traditional sense of omega’s (without being too innocent thank goodness) but she’s definitely on the submissive side (only 1 last suitor though)
As for the the men, I think out of all them my favorite is Desmond and Wilder, I have a soft spot for beta’s and Wilder whether it was intended or not kind of amused me. I didn’t take to the characters as fast as I have this author’s other books but I enjoyed them enough.The men are pretty smitten with Kinsey from the start, and while I wish it wasn’t as fast burn there was a sort of comfort in them immediately being attracted/ into her. All in all a good read.

Wow what a start to a series - Really love Kinsey who is the FMC as she is strong and resilliant and so far has had to survive alone and hide in plian sight, every day dreading that her secret would be found out.
Then she is saved from a kidnapoing and finds sancuary in teh most unlikely place with the most unlikley peoples.
I loved everything about this storey and really enjoyed the different take that this author adds to the Non shifter Omegaverse

Loved this book! I wasn't sure what to expect from the story with the description, but I was so pleasantly surprised and now need more! Kinsey is a survivor of so much. She's been trying to pass as a beta as being an unclaimed omega is basically a horrific life.
Unfortunately, things happen and she's not only outted as an omega, shipped off to a pack of questionable Alphas, but then kidnapped by a different set of royal alphas! It's a fast-paced journey!
There's so much character development and world-building in this one that I was hooked from the start. I love the power structure and history between all the regions and clans. Plus each of the brothers is defined and has their own issues and background! It was so much fun seeing the romance happen.
Cannot wait for the next one!

Non shifter Omegaverse. This book is filled with non stop action from start to finish. Great characters with an engaging storyline made me devour this book. The cliffhanger ending made me want the next book in the series.

2ND BOOK COMES OUT SEPTEMBER 9, 2022. Another omega verse that i loved. It immediately caught and kept my attention the entire book which made it hard to put down. The book switches between characters perspective which i love.
The story starts with an omega explaining her struggles on being an omega trying to pass as a beta. She is working at this sex club as a waitress and us barely keeping herself alive. She is running low on money but needs the suppressant medicine so she can pass as a beta. She ends up losing her medicine so she tries to run but her bitch of a boss catches her and sells her. While on the way to the pack that she was sold to they are attacked and she is unintentionally kidnapped along with the stuff in the van that the guys are actually after. They find out she’s there and hold her hostage for awhile till they figure out what to do with her, well on the meantime she finds out their secret. They are hiding their sister from their father because he wanted to ship her off to this dangerous pack who would have most likely killed her so they faked her death. They agree that Kinsey will take care of their sister and teach her how to pass as a beta. They all start to fall in love with Kinsey and then one of the brothers bonds with her which makes them all bond with her. Kinsey and holly, their sister, get taken and sold to another sex club but once they realize who the girls are they call the boys father who is evil to come get them. The guys come in and save them from their father and are able to stall so they can come up with a plan. Well while coming up with a plan the father calls for a pack meeting, before the meeting they are drugged while eating breakfast and the dad comes in and gives Kinsey and holly over to this mystery alpha as some kind of payback who ends up shooting the dad after he asks him to agree to some deal which the mystery alpha refuses to do. The guys are unable to help due to the drugs and kinsley is picked up and take away by the mystery men. It should also be noted that her heat is coming quickly and they don’t know when it will happen.

This was a great start to the series. Kinsey has escaped her pack and is hiding out as a beta, when she ends up being unknowingly kidnapped. The Princes don't intend to keep her, but don't know what else to do with her.
There are so many packs and politics at play in this book that it will really keep you on your toes.
This really is a fast paced story and the characters don't get time to relax at all. The guys are all deadly, determined, but sweet and really want to look after her, but with all the back stabbing, lies and traditions in place they really struggle to spend time together, but when they do, they are some very steamy times.
I really didn't know what was going to happen in each chapter, you're really taken on an unknown journey with this book and boy that cliffhanger at the end is something I wasn't expecting.
Can't wait for the next book!

Ill be honest i didnt know what to expect from this book with that book title but what i got i really flaming loved. Kinsley (FMC) is hiding her true identity as an Omega by taking pills to suppress that side of her and let her hide in plain sight by fooling everyone that shes a Beta. Only for things in her life to take a different turn and she ends up in hands of The Gilded Sands Pack - Wilder, Enzo, Desmond and Arsenio.
Kinsley has a quiet strength that grew as the book progressed. I loved her relationship with their guys even if it did start off a bit rocky. This was a brilliant start to this series and im looking forward to getting my hands on more books in this series

I guess I’m in the minority but I hated this book. So many plot holes and timeline mistakes.

The Knotty Girls Club is the first book by Ginna Moran in her new Saint Vista Pack Regimes series. Kinsey is an omega living as a beta. It's a dangerous thing that she's doing, but after all of the tragedy that tore her life apart, she'd rather live like this than be under the "care" of her uncle. But things take a dark turn when her secret is exposed while at work. An accident that exposes her for what she is and sets her down a path that she has no idea where it leads.
I love reverse harem novels, but I feel that this book fails to really reach it's potential. Kinsey is literally all over the place as a character. One minute she's weak, fragile, and scared of everyone then she's bratty, demanding and acting strong. I don't like it when characters give me whiplash, and that's exactly what she does. I want her to pick a lane. Yes, there is middle ground, but if she's going to take the middle ground then don't flinch and act terrified so much. Also, Wilder, I wanted him to be a stronger character. He's the "head alpha" of the group, so let him be that. Don't have him be "dominated" or "bested" unless he so chooses. I really feel that the back and forth with the other brothers gets a bit ridiculous. They keep saying "I know we can't have her/be with her" but yet and still they do everything to provoke her scent so that they can have an excuse to be all over her. It seems all over the place and a bit ridiculous.
I feel that there is quite a bit of filler in this book. The constant back and forth of trying to "soothe" Kinsey by each brother, it gets old. Move the story along because I don't need to read about each brother practically tripping over his junk trying to impress her. I get it she's an omega, but they already know what's at stake. If the story had given me a few moments of that and moved on it would have been good. As it is there is little movement in the overall storyline when there are several directions the story could go that would be more engaging.
I wanted to like this story, because it started with potential, but things get too bogged down in the brothers tripping over themselves to impress Kinsey or mark her. I needed the story to focus and move forward. The ending does pique my interest so we'll see where things go. I'm hopeful that this series doesn't follow the same lines as the author's last series which dragged things out a bit too much. I'm rating this book 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Wow! Where to start with Kinsey and the Gilded Sands Pack Princess! I’m going to be a bit vague as I don’t want to spoil the surprise and joy of reading this books and discovering it all for yourselves!
I loved Kinsey as a character, she has had a hard life since the death of her parents and the alphas around her never cared as they should have. She has tried hard to become independent and not defined by her order. She is kind to those who show her respect and doesn’t judge others based on their order.
“Those who don’t want me, desire to destroy me, and my very soul recognizes it.”
The princes are all great I loved them all, even Wilder as I love an alpha who has to beg! In the next book I would love to hear more for Arsenio as I felt he was maybe slightly over looked as more focus was on Kinsey’s relationships with the other brothers.
“Good girl. You’re safe with me. I understand it’s hard to believe, but I will prove it. Trust is important to me, too. I know that you don’t want to be here, and I get that you hate me, but I need you to know that I wasn’t lying when I said I would protect you. You’re my responsibility, and I will not let you down. Whatever flicked up shit you’ve been through doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is what we make of things now.”
This book is thick, Ginna has packed so much into this book and you believe your in for a happy for now ending but no she sweeps the rug from under your feet at the last minutes, leaving you pining for answers as to what has happened to Kinsey and the Princes.
We have plenty of charged moment through the first half of this book as they all fight their attraction to each other. Once the spicy begins it gets hot quickly but doesn’t over take the story. There is no sword crossing as the men in the harem are all brothers though there is scenes with all members of the harem.
I felt this was a fantastic omegaverse story and I’m looking forward to the next book.

The Ending Earned an Extra Star
I went into Knotty Girls Club thinking the book was about one thing, and it turned out to be something else. Fairly certain that’s the main downfall for me, the title.
What I thought would be a story about a woman working at a club, only to be abducted and sent to work as entertainment in a different club when she’s found to be an Omega, isn’t quite what we got.
(I’m horrible with names, and my brain makes them up as I go)
Not-Kelsey, our leading lady, is pretending to be a Beta and is QUICKLY found out to be an Omega. That’s my first gripe, I wish we had more time to get to know Beta-Kelsey before everything started happening. With that said though, the first handful of chapters are my favorite. There’s drama, action, tension, fear for our lead, excitement in seeing what’s coming next…
Then she gets to the palace of her future pack and I got bored. Three out of the four were super nice to her, and flirty, sneaking her a cellphone and sending leading photos.
The cutesy stuff was too much, all the meaningless pet names and stolen moments. Which, to be honest, I didn’t quite understand. Literally only one person in the pack wasn’t a fan, why be so secretive?
I page hopped to read the spicy scenes and drama with W.
Things kicked back up when she was taken, yet again, but there wasn’t much that happened. It felt like a plot point to just make her relationship known to the wrong parties. The last few pages popped it up from two stars to three. That little twist was great.

The Knotty Girls Club, the first book in the Saint Vista Pack Regimes series by Ginnan Moran was a quick fun omegaverse immersion and I loved it! The characters were absolutely phenomenal, the storyline was utter perfection and the plot flowed flawlessly!
Our FMC Kinsey is a “lowly” omega living in a world ruled by almighty alphas in a pack based world. After a tragedy occurs that disrupts what life she has known with her family, she soon finds herself on the run living life disguised as a beta, hiding away from everyone all alone. Until one fateful night, tragedy strikes once again thrusting Kinsey right into a pack of hot and sexy alpha/beta bothers and everything changes. Is it fate or just more bad luck stepping in? Read on to find out for yourself!
I love how the characters developed throughout the story, as well as all the pack dynamics involved and how it all came to be at the end. It is definitely a book that unravels fast, and thrusts you right into the action and insta connection, so if that’s not your thing, be warned. It also ended in a tantalizing twist of a cliffhanger so needless to say I can’t wait for the second book!!!
Overall if you’re a fan of RH omegaverse stories with hot domineering possessive alphas, fierce protective betas and sweet omegas that still have a little sass in them—this is the one for you! I can't wait for the next one!

Wow what a start 🐺
Finished this book in one sitting I couldn’t put it down!
Omegas are supposed to be revered but are essentially treated to a life of servitude in sex clubs and brainwashed by alphas that that is the life they want 😩 refusing to be stuck in that fate, Kinsey disguises herself as a beta, until one unfortunate incident brings that crashing down, and as a result sold off into some unknown situation! However she’s sort of kidnapped/rescued along the way by a pack who happen to be princes….although certainly not charming!! 😬 with an agenda of their own Kinsey is a risk and a liability, although they manage to get a deal out of her with their own benefit for their sister! Freaking love the bestie relationship Holly and Kinsey end up having 🥰
Over time the princes begin to see Kinseys true character and connections begin to form! Enzo is the flirty playboy with a hidden passion, Arsenio practical and steadfast with a sweetness, Desmond the first friend to Kinsey and then Wilder the overbearing a&£!! All have a protective streak and as time passes truly fall for their omega 😍😍 yet they have their father to contend with as well as numerous territories encroaching and some earth shattering betrayals……can this pack stick together?!

Kinsey, an omega in disguise, has had so many bad things happen in her life so she decides to take control for once and escapes what's left of her home and decides to take suppressant pills to pass as a beta. One day while working and trying to meet up with her ‘dealer’ for another round of pills, she finds herself in a predicament which ultimately ends in a life changing event. Once you think that Kinsey is out of trouble a new twist comes around the corner and keeps you begging for more. Throw in some spice and you have an excellent read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end.

A great omegaverse for anyone who hasn’t quite taken the plunge into this type of genre. It explains the basics of what an omegaverse is without getting too crazy. The characters are done so well and I love the development of them as we continue throughout the story. The plot is great, however I feel that so much happened in such a small amount of time that things could have been spaced out a bit more and possibly over two different books. The cliffhanger at the end is killing me as I want to know what happens next and what twists and turns will be brought into the next book.

Ginna has created a world that is visually as inviting as it is horrifying whilst have the ability to build an emotional connection between the reader and the characters.
Kinsey is an omega in hiding, she knows what this world will do to an unmated omega and she doesn't want to lose her independence or choices but sometimes no matter how hard you try to hide, things never go your way and your worst nightmare comes true, discovery. Kinsey is fierce and knows her worth, even after being outed as an omega she still maintains her tenacity and her ability to fight for what is right.
The prince's Wilder, Arsenio, Enzo and Desmond find they get more then they bargained for when the intercep a shipment from another territory. Immediately they are suspicious of the omega hidden in the truck they take. I love the strength of bind these guys share, yea they may be brothers but their relationship and bond goes far beyond that, they have each others back 100%.
I absolutely adore the journey Kinsey takes with the Prince's, their indivual chemistry one on one is tangible but once they learn to trust each other it's off the charts hot. There is a lot of action in this first book but it help keep you gripped to every word but that ending....what why, would you do that to my heart!!

Kinsey has been passing as a Beta in a world where her unmated Omega status would leave her with no rights. But when she is exposed, her boss decides to give her to a pack as 'entertainment'. The cargo truck she's been loaded into is hijacked along the way, she is taken with the stolen shipment and ends up at the home of the Gilded Sands Princes. They didn't need this complication since they have dangerous secrets of their own. However, it's clear almost immediately Kinsey has ended up exactly where she should be. If only it could be so simple.
I love Omegaverse and the premise of this book is a good one. But I couldn't get into it. It started strong but the main character quickly lost her sparkle. The characters never really decided who they were and suffered because of their inconsistencies. Plus, the connections weren't there. There was no relationship development. I honestly felt more of a connection between the Omegas than I did the Omega and Alphas. I'm not sure why the story didn't capture my attention more. It wasn't bad but it was missing something. My attention wandered. I will read the second one at some point to see how it all turns out but I'm not eagerly awaiting it.

I need more so bad!!!
The Knotty Girls Club is book #1 in Saint Vista Pack Regimes. Its an omegaverse, and its AMAZING!!
Kinsey has had so much bad happen in her life, and struggles to just live day to day. She is an Omega but takes suppressant pills to pass as a Beta.
When she gets busted with the pills, she is sent away by her boss to be a Knotty Girl, but they are ambushed on the way to the destination.
Kinsey finds herself with no pills, in a house full of 3 Alphas and 1 Beta, and they are all brothers. Then she finds out they are princes!!! They all feel drawn to Kinsey and she feels drawn to them. But, its not all sunshine and rainbows!
This book is AMAZING!!! Its action packed from the very start and I love how Kinsey is a badass and doesn't take any crap. The guys are all freaking HOT and the spice is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! Ginna always creates the most amazing worlds! I love this one so much! I can't wait for the next book!!

⭐️ 2.75/5
🌶 1/5
Genre and tropes: omegaverse, Why Choose
Eh. The premise was good. The writing is just plain bad, something I'd expect from a fanfic. The setup was interesting and I was intrigued about the guys, especially Wilder. But, when we get to the lovey-dovey part, suddenly all the guys read more or less exactly the same.
Don't get me started at the declarations of love. I love a good love story (I mean all I read is romance), so I love declarations of love and everything. But this was so cringy, and it went on for pages and was basically repeated for each guy in more or less the same cringy way.
I did like Holly as a character and wish we had gotten more on-page time with her. I enjoyed Kinsey a lot in the beginning too, but she got on my nerves in the end and turned out kinda whiny.
I don't love leaving fairly negative reviews, but this one did disappoint. There was potential, but in the end it was just meh. I'm on the fence if I will continue with the series.

Hit and Miss
I wish our author didn’t use the word “triggered” when describing how Kinsey reacted to Wilder’s horrible treatment of her. Knowing she was triggered, but never having an explanation for why his aggressiveness triggered her made her trust in him and unconditional forgiveness for his actions seem unrealistic. Especially since she forgave him before he even attempted an apology or any act of contrition.
As for the rest of the book, it was okay. It earned the 3 stars I gave it by the skin of its teeth (namely, Holly’s character). It ends on a cliffhanger. I’ll give it a few days before I decide whether or not to read the next book. As of now, I’m not sure reading it will be worth satisfying my curiosity about what happens to this pack. Especially since I think the drama could have been resolved in one book if the brothers in the harem spent less time being indecisive and more time handling their business.
