4⭐️ 5🌶️
CW: Provided by author before chapter 1.
MOOD: cozy, steamy, funny
TROPES: omegaverse, instalove, instalust, polyamory, bdsm/fetish-lite
FAV QUOTE: The way his purr makes my body feel calmer makes my head more panicked. I'm...horny yet terrified, but hopeful too.
THE GOOD: This is a great introduction to the Heatverse; although the title did make me think of Heat Haven, it is a very different book. I did like that these were older characters ranging from 28-42 and Emily (the omega) is 36. There's the protective broody alpha, some bratty betas, and an omega who doesn't ask for what she wants. It felt like a duet - with the first and second halves having different overall vibes but I enjoyed that it was one book. And yes, I am the person that picked it up because of the line "it's the literary equivalent of a bunch of fetish gear tossed into a dumpster and set on fire"
THE NEUTRAL: Based on the above line, I was expecting more? Maybe my brain is really in the dumpster. The CW list is extensive and as far as I noticed covered everything.
THE MEH: I don't want to put any spoilers in this but some of the family relationships mentioned weren't really developed until necessary for one plot moment and that felt a little forced.
I would say avoid this book if you don't like MM, lots of group scenes. praise/degradation, public & semi-public scenes.
DISCLAIMER: I received an ARC through BookSirens for my honest review.
