Boring. Could have left half of this stuff out. I skimmed so much just to get to the end and literally nothing happened--that's what the other book is for. Just an FMC who is Brazilian and can't dance but is otherwise whatever the plot needs (ditzy, perceptive, pushy, or a pushover) when it needs it, and a group of alphas who have basic smiley/grumpy/himbo/shy descriptions and not much else. There are two packs interested in her (I read RH so the FMC doesn't have to choose like this smh) and a pushy boss using her position to get her brother's pack the omega she thinks they deserve despite the omega's wishes, and the entire book is just about the omega choosing which pack will help her through her heat. She makes a choice at the end but it's a cliffhanger so I guess we'll have to read more about this pack helping her through her heat and then still trying to woo her into a mating bond again or something. I'm marginally interested to see where the next book goes, but will dnf so fast is it's not any better than this one

This is a no from me. I will read the second book, but even knowing that this book was written in two parts did not prepare me. This book doesn’t end on a cliffhanger (which is annoying, but reasonable) this book is just unfinished. 

The characters are ok, but I have no idea what is happening with relationship development or the plot. I don’t understand any of the characters' motivations for their actions, which is crazy since the entire book is multiple POVs. 

The omega is an incredibly interesting character. I’ve been trying to figure out whether or not she is supposed to be disabled in some way. Just based on the way all the characters (besides the pack) treat her it seems she has incredibly low social comprehension as well as low general intelligence. She is a fascinating character because of how she is perceived by others and because of her brazen confidence in face of social rejection. But I wish there was any kind of clarity on why she is presented this way. The authors may have just intended her to be quirky, but it reads as so much more than that.

I eat up anything by Collette Rhodes and this was no different. I'm hoping there won't be conflict with Roxy and her brother's pack in the second book because god do I dislike needless posturing

This was a great book.  Roxy is so pushy and everyone should let Bubbles me happy.

Super cute and sweet omegaverse RH. Amy's an omega dancer at a club who isn't very good at dancing, but makes up for it with enthusiasm and heart. Pack Knight all fall for her almost instantly, but oh no! She's being set up with the club owner's brother's pack, who are super wealthy and fancy. Whoever shall she choose? Adorably awkward courting ensues. Low conflict and comforting.
