As much as I love how much they care for each other, I still can't get over how Rukh's possessiveness in the beginning was quite predatorial (which I understand happens to many resonanced males but still). I like that Harlow was understanding and helped Rukh learn and develop language and social skills. Gosh, I so want

to see how all their babies look like. They sound cute 🥰🥺 I appreciate that all the mothers are caring for one another.

This book is my second favorite of the ones I have read so far. I thought the romance and relationship was great, but the second half of the book dragged, and there was a little bit of a misunderstanding trope that dragged things out longer than they needed to be.
