I’ve been looking forward to this series since Rebecca Royce’s Wings of Artemis series ended (aka one of my favorite series ever). I think the Super SI’ve been looking forward to this series since Rebecca Royce’s Wings of Artemis series ended (aka one of my favorite series ever). I think the Super Soldiers are so interesting and add a fun variance to the romance dynamics. As far as Uncivilized goes, I think it was a very good introduction to this particular set of Super Soldiers on their side of the galaxy. I’m glad this one was a standalone and that the next will follow different characters. Getting to know these characters was great, and I did enjoy them and their sweet devotion to one another, and now I’m looking forward to getting glimpses of them in future books in the series. I really liked this one!...more

Though different from the usual genre I pick up from Rory Miles, I found Monster Mishap to be just as enjoyable. The characters were well fleshed out, the romance was lovely and nailed its tropes, and the atmosphere of the whole novel was rather light and easy. I wasn’t quite head over heels for this one, and I wouldn’t call it a new favorite, but it was good and I would definitely read more in this world—and of course more by this author. If you’re looking for a quick, sweet monster read, I’d say this one is worth a try :)...more

That was the highlight of this book. My less favorite thing was how long it took for Celeste to get cut some slack. It was a messy story all around, so naturally I could not put it down, but man they really put that poor girl through the wringer. Not my favorite of the series, but I was entertained. Looking forward to the next!...more

Great premise, good story, sweet characters and relationships. But everything felt rushed, and I don’t feel like we got to see their story to it’s fullest. They had so much growth as a pack from the first page to the last, but I wish we’d seen more of it on the page. Still adore Sarah Blue’s books, though. Haven’t been let down by her omegaverse yet....more

This series is so over the top & I have so much fun reading it. Was definitely super into the first half, then admittedly lost steam on the second half and skimmed a bit. Also wish the timeline had been less jumpy. Overall, an enjoyable read but not a new favorite or anything....more

This was pretty much exactly what I needed right now. It’s a fun rh omegaverse with a pack that is both crazy for their omega but also just plain crazy. They treat her so well and it was the sweetest to read. She’s also the exact opposite of a wilting daisy and just as wild as they are, so that was loads of fun too. Very much touch her & unalive vibes, which were chef’s kiss immaculate.
A nearly flawless book, honestly—my only complaint is that around the end the story kind of jumped around a little bit, which I know was to draw out the conflict & anticipation, but it was a little confusing to me and had me genuinely thinking the actions of the story weren’t real so I skimmed a little.
Beyond that, however, the story ended just as great as the rest of the book. Another favorite to add to my growing list of rh omegaverse! And of course I cannot wait to read whatever comes next from Rory Miles!...more

It’s a very sweet rh omegaverse. The fmc is young, naïve, and is just escaping a terrible situation. The pack is kind, gentle, and understanding. I loved seeing them all interact and get familiar with one another. I liked the plot—both overall & in terms of the relationship growth. I’m very interested to see a certain character getting a bigger, hopefully more permanent role in everything in part 2.
All that said, this did end up only being a book I *liked* instead of loved. Mostly because the writing got a little cheesy and somewhat stiff at times. Lines that could have hit so well led to me kind of rolling my eyes instead. And the use of the term “alpha nature” was off-putting to me, especially with how often it was there. There was also some shaky ground re: consistency between Cambrie’s upbringing and how she acted with the pack, etc.
Even so, between the good and the not so good I did truly enjoy reading Knot All is Lost. The romance was so sweet, and I am interested in seeing where this story goes. I absolutely 100% for sure will be picking up part 2 when it releases! ...more

But the further into the book I got, the more it pulled me in, and now I am a definite fan. I looooooved the poly dynamic of the pack. I loved how the designations were explored as a spectrum instead of absolutes. I loved how sweet, kind, caring, and protective the pack was. I loved Nicky’s integration into the fold. This book was a very, very good & strong omegaverse read & one that I’ll definitely be recommending. Can’t wait for book 2!!...more

An interesting start to the series. Fated mates is my catnip, and the immediate care they all showed Effie was a delight. Didn’t love how drawn out a lot of the information sharing seems to be taking, and the plot so far is kind of ??? to me, but since I’m only really here for the romance, I wasn’t too upset about it. The romance is very good so far. I will be continuing the series, though maybe not right away. ...more

A good continuation of book 1. Loved the relationship progress—especially with Stephan. However, there were a lot of inconsistencies. Parts where things would change in the middle of scenes—like Forrest would be there & then suddenly it was Shea instead, even though Shea definitely was not there. Or when Amelia promised a date with Shea the day after the gala, and then a few pages later planned a game night with all the guys for the day after the gala. And those are just two examples, but this happened often enough for me to mention here.
That said, I did enjoy the story. Not sure when or if I will continue, but it’s a good option for brain candy if needed!...more

I didn’t love this book, but I did like it quite a bit. I love how devoted the harem is to Ellie. They’re a set of guys who are off their rocker & scary to everyone else but complete softies for their girl, which is one of my absolute favorite dynamics. So the rh was done suuuuper well.
What I did not like, however, was the terrible communication. She should have just told the guys what was happening & the guys…well, they never should have been keeping such huge secrets from someone who is supposed to be their best friend, the love of their life, their #1, in the first place. But since they were, once they realized she was going through stuff they should have helped her. They shouldn’t have been waiting for her to open up to them to help her more.
I did like the interesting twist at the end & I don’t mind the cliffhanger since book 2 is already out.
Overall, a good series starter with an obsessive harem & a nice twist. Could have been better without so many secrets between best friends, but I’m willing to stick along for the ride regardless. ...more

I don’t know what else to say other than that. I loved the characters. I loved the romance. I loved how obsessed they all were with Faith, and how Faith was so unapologetically omega as she pulled them into her pack. Lola and the Millionaires still reigns supreme for me, but this comes in a solid second for the Sweetverse. 10/10, a solid 5 stars, I highly recommend!...more
