I honestly love this book so much. It's not just the grovel, it's the whole world and its lore these characters are inhabiting. It only gets better with each reread as I pick up in different threads. 

Now, Killian Kelly is a brute, but there is so much context to his actions and in the grand scheme of these books his rejection has a lot more context than some of the others. Una is amazing and so very obviously in charge. Her dignity throughout is fantastic and I love them both so much.

It's cool that Killian is trying to be less sexist but it would be cooler if he didn't need a woman he wants to have sex with to make him realize it's a problem. Other than that very meh on the plot, the characters in general, and especially their relationship with each other.

this wasn’t what i was expecting but i loved it! i really enjoyed the writing style and the characters i just wish there was more tension and development. i think i’d like it more with a reread and managed expectations.

I laughed so much, but also felt feelings.  Killian J’s so dumb, but he ended up being the endearing kind of dumb.  Una was very much a girl crush.  She deserves every good thing and I love her.  I want to see all her girls fall in love (though I am a bit worried about Mari’s age gap situation), especially Kennedy.  Kennedy was my favorite of the side characters.

 Content Warnings: Sexual situations, ableism, violence, sexism, misogyny, sexual assault, sexual harassment, child abuse, transphobia, toxic relationships, and domestic violence.
Mention of: rape, death of parents, murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, eugenics [in the form of killing anyone considered weak or "damaged", and captivity.

I instantly liked Una and her personality and wanted to punch Killian where it hurts 😤

The pack history was interesting, angering but interesting...and you don't find many shifter books where mated pairs sleep with other people...so that was something I wasn't expecting.

Loved that Una constantly challenged Killian and didn't back down from his BS...which was A LOT. haha Really wish he'd done more groveling tbh 😤

Overall it was a fun read and I'll most likely be checking out the rest of the series 💜

Das ist so ein Buch, das man liest, weil ein Bagger das Glasfaserkabel beschädigt hat und die ganze Stadt ohne Fernseher, Internet, oder Telefon dasteht, so dass man das einzige Buch, das ungelesen auf dem Tablet ist, lesen muss, und es ist zufällig dieses hier, auch wenn es voll furchtbar ist, aber man hat keine Wahl * **

* Diese Geschichte beruht auf einer wahren Begebenheit

** WTF für ne Scheiße habe ich hier lesen müssen ***

*** Das einzige HEA hier wäre, wenn Werwolfjäger alles plattmachen würden und anschließend die Asche salzen

This was a unique sort of shifter romance where instead of being a mate-or-nothing sort, the alpha, Killian, rejects his fated mate, Una, initially (for really no good reason, let’s be honest) and spends the rest of the book groveling to get her back. I overall liked it and thought I’d was good, but I’m also not feeling like it’s my favourite shifter romance I’ve ever encountered. It was well-written and despite the beginning I liked how the author managed to write Killian back from an absolute a-hole to someone I actively liked. Una also came into her own in this story which was nice. Sometimes in these stories when one character has a huge character growth arc, the other character is kind of forgotten, but Una also came into her own in confidence and assertiveness throughout this book and that was a pleasure to read. I think some of the character transitions from beginning to end seemed to pop out of nowhere but this was good and I would read the next book happily. The secondary characters really popped and I’m curious about so many potential couples here. Not much diversity, but there is a gender non-conforming potential story lurking in this world (maybe in a future book) that I think would be really innovative for shifter romance.
