Pack Solace #1
Pack Solace: Part One
A boat accident shattered our beach town and left many of us torn by grief. It’s been a year but the wounds in my heart have barely healed. Honestly, with how my life is going, maybe they never will.
Goldilocks-ing my way into the home of three alphas is sure to add to my problems. Everyone knows omegas like me— vulnerable and relentlessly sought after — aren’t safe around stranger alphas so my decision to crash at their penthouse is… unwise, to say the least.
But stumbling into Kai, Jax and Lucas’s lives may be the only way to stop bleeding. Not just for me, but for them, too...
This novel is a reverse harem romance in the Omegaverse, the first part of Pack Solace. It features a traumatized heroine, three protective, possessive alpha men who are also sweet and caring to their omega, and spicy scenes, some with MM.

This was just very childish and not for me.

This book is everything I like about 'sweet' omegaverse. Protective alphas, and an in-distress omega. One of my favourite tropes. The only thing is that they're kinda young (she's 19, in her first year of college, and they're all just one or two years older than she is). I'm like twice their age and ummm it is hard to think of an alpha having the capacity to be manly and protective at that age. I mean, well... obviously guys can be protective at any age, but at 20 or 22 they don't have the aura of authority and experience to back it up, you know? Who would be afraid of a 20-year-old??
Anyway. They are very sweet to her but I don't get very much of their personalities other than that. Lucas stands out more than the other two, as he's more reserved. I don't see much to differentiate Kai from Jax, except that Kai likes cooking and Jax is a part-time model.
Ryanne (our FMC) regularly takes heat suppressants and scent suppressants, but they have negative side effects. It made me wonder why wouldn't a society like that have a few different formulas of heat suppressants and scent suppressants? Omegas take these pills to ensure that they can safely mingle with the rest of the population, so you'd imagine there'd be several different types just like we have various types of painkillers or birth control pills. That way, if you encounter bad side effects with one of the scent suppressants, for example, you could always try a different one to see if it works better for you. But Ryanne doesn't have options, so it's either take them and deal with the side effects, or don't take them at all.
Ryanne isn't exactly helpless, but she's homeless. I wondered how she could afford college, and I also wondered why she didn't mind being beholden to Kai, Jax, and Lucas -- living with them, eating their food. They never have a conversation about paying her way or reimbursing the guys, which I thought was odd. Even if the guys didn't want her to pay for anything, that conversation should still have taken place. For her not to say anything made me feel like she took it for granted and was a freeloader.
As far as the story goes, there's no conflict between Ryanne and the guys. The conflict comes from something that happened in Ryanne's past. We get flashbacks in some chapters, as she has nightmares. There's also conflict from other characters, but mild. As a result, generally the book is quite a 'feel-good' book with low angst. But that also makes it kinda bland in some respects. Despite Ryanne trying to grapple with her past, she barely talks about it to the guys. It felt like she didn't open up to them and was keeping secrets. The guys all have issues from their own past to deal with, which they also don't really talk about that much. So in the end, all the emotional stuff is just skimmed over on the surface. That's why this book doesn't get five stars from me: it just felt a bit superficial.
The story is entirely in Ryanne's POV (first-person), which was a bummer because I really wanted the guys' POV too. I particularly wanted to know what was going on in Lucas' head. This is part 1 of a duet and doesn't end on a soul-destroying cliffhanger, which I'm very thankful for. There is no sex in this book (as in penetration). At the beginning, the alphas are very careful with Ryanne because they don't want her to feel uncomfortable, since she's sharing a living space with them. Later, once they start building a friendship and they realise that she's as attracted to them as they are to her, they get close to doing it, but something always happens to interrupt or break the mood. However, there are orgasms, so it's not like there's zero spice. I'd classify this as a slow burn.

Just not for me ( spoliers!)
This story had to many references to tiktok and being a social media Influencer . When I read a story I don't really wanna constantly hear about how to make a tiktok . Felt really juvenile and just kept making me roll my eyes and I finally just skipped ahead to the end . I won't be reading any more from this author.

I hate giving low reviews but I really couldn't get on with these. I felt like there wasn't really a connection between the Alphas and the Omega. Everything just seem to jump really quickly and I had to re read certain parts to try and make sense. All in all thought it was a little boring

yuck alphas!
This story follows a damaged omega who ends up in the wrong apartment building. Now I understand that the alphas allow her to stay (like a roommate) but they’re obviously attracted to one another. They act like FRAT BOYS not real alphas!! While she’s in their home they BRING HOME BETAS AND OMEGAS to fu$k with!! She has to listen to the guys she’s getting close to with other women! Yuck! I don’t respect Kai at all. And the others aren’t much better. One watches her during an intimate moment and “relieves himself” in front of her, the other takes her outside with no aftercare!!!! These are not ALPHA MEN worthy of her, but stupid frat boy alphas who have a long ways to go before they figure out how to treat an omega!!

Too YA, got typical tropes,orphaned omega that everyone wants, she is so beautiful yadda yadda…mean girl ex trope is there as well. And someone needs a definition of spicy…cuz this is not…actually it’s boring…MMC’s and FMC relationship did not really mesh..felt disjointed..

I’d picked this one up because it was recommended for people who love Lola & the Millionaires, but I’ve got to be honest…this book was not it.
Pack Solace isn’t BAD. I didn’t dislike it. But it’s firmly in the just-okay category. The writing isn’t very fleshed out, there’s so much that’s cheesy, a lot of telling and not showing. And the vibe of the whole story just had me thinking “strange.” From the very first page, the circumstances were strange. And the execution of everything thereafter just felt so strange.
The pack is all sweet together, and I’m a sucker for a troubled past, which is why I think the book was okay. But it needed so much more.
Will I pick up book 2? Maybe. It technically ended on a cliffhanger, but by that point I wasn’t shocked at all. Maybe if I’m curious enough I will. But I don’t currently feel hooked enough to where I must.

a little long and slightly repetitive
This reads like someone who has never gone through a relationship long term. The MC is all over the place. Half of the book is her thinking something and then voicing the exact thought out loud. This is a weird medium burn as well. You can eat me out in the kitchen but when I’m begging to be fucked, you want to take things slower?? Uhhhh, what? This has happened multiple times in the book and the MC hasn’t even really touched any of the guy counter parts yet. Super strange in my opinion.

Even after finishing the book, I am still confused to the relationship, the history and basically everything. In addition, the writing style is so not my cup of tea. It felt really disconnected and sometimes the FMC would state facts about the MMCs that were never mentioned before like it was common knowledge and I am just confused..... The story itself is interesting and sweet, but I am not sure if I will continue, simply because I can't connect to the characters

very cute!
Ryan has lost her parents and sisters. After living with a family friend she needed to get out and went to stay at an Omega center. After she got there she took a nap and woke up to three alphas wondering what an omega was doing in their home. After the mixup they decide she can stay and they start to grow closer together.
This was cute! I wish it was longer and that there was more build up to the big conflict at the end. But I definitely enjoyed the read.

Sweet Story!
This is a sweet omegaverse with protective alphas and an omega who has been through some significant trauma. It’s romantic and spicy, with some angst and drama. Can’t wait for part two!

This story is just completely disjointed. It’s very confusing and annoying honestly. The characters don’t make sense. The story leaves out things but makes them seem like they should be obvious. I could go on but I give up.

Stahhhp! Don’t do it! Do not reread this, future me!
Remember that book one wasn’t bad. It was good enough that you preordered book two!
And book two was trash that you never want to see again. If you must revisit it, go read your review on book two.
Don’t reread this.

I loved this book! Ry is still dealing with a tragedy that rocked her town a year ago. She accidentally meets Kai, Jax and Lucas, and they end up being the perfect alphas for her. They are sweet and protective. This book ends on a slight cliffhanger. I can't wait to read part 2.

DNF, I’m so confused on how all the characters fit together… like I could see how the boating accident effect all of them but how and what started it? The whole book felt very confusing and disconnected from the characters

Yeah i stopped this quickly. Any alpha who brings over other omegas and betas to fuck while an olega stays with them has 0 respect. Everyone knows omegas are sensitive. Fuck this shit.
Also the writing is very disjointed and makes it hard to connect to anything going on.

Disappointed.
I couldn’t get into the story and wanted to. I love Omegaverse and RH BOOKS . I had so many issues with this book . I need a couple days to gather my thoughts first .

If it had a good edit, it would be a lot easier to read, but it has heaps of potential!

Couldnt connect with the characters.
Everything felt surface level. I hope that changes in book two because I did enjoy the story.

Interesting premise and start but the execution was lacking. I was also turned off by how young the characters are and how immature they sounded.

Such a good read
So unlike many other books I've read in this genre, I really enjoyed the first book and I'm looking forward to reading part 2.

This was a pretty good read. I liked the characters. Not sure about Lucas as he don’t get much screen time at all. Hopefully that will change and the cliffhanger isn’t to bad at all. Hooked me enough that I’m curious about the next book but it like I’m going to die. I appreciate that.
