love love love!!
Format: Kindle
Unwanted is the perfect hurt/comfort romance read. I LOVE an OV romance where the beta is the center of the story and Song delivers a heartfelt story of a single mom to 2, burned by her alpha-hole ex starting her life over in the small town of Knotty Pines. Reid and Finn are an alpha/omega pair who’ve been together since they scent matched as teenagers, they’ve always known someone was missing in their lives and they’ll stop at nothing to prove to Cammie that her, Em & Ben are everything they always wanted. I couldn’t put this one down - Song tugs at your heart strings, and gives you vulnerable, real and lovable characters with depth and relatability. The book is so well paced, detailed to perfection without overdoing it or straying, I really honestly loved the flow and details in this story and the banter and humor had me smiling throughout this read. This was the perfect hurt/comfort, who did this to you, fated mates, stop at nothing to get the girl romance that I’ll be recommending for the foreseeable future!!

Oh this was adorable and cozy and spicy
Format: Kindle
Oh this was adorable and cozy and spicy and I had so much fun with this book! The relationship between Cammie, Finn and Reid is good. I love how doting both men are of her and her kids, always providing them with a safe space to be themselves. They were patient with Ben and I loved seeing that represented in this book. The plot was done well and it was well paced with quiet, family moments as well as drama to keep us on our toes. I do wish we'd gotten more moments just between Finn and Reid to showcase their strong relationship (they've been together for two decades!) and while we got something, both men were first and foremost focused on Cammie. It makes sense why this was, there was a lot of hurt that needed to be soothed and I'm glad she is treated like the queen she is, but I did yearn for more of the alpha-omega couple.

A Beta’s Dream!
Format: Kindle
I loved this book!! Unwanted follows Cammie, a single mom and Beta, working two jobs, trying her best to raise a son and daughter since her a$$hole ex Alpha kicked them out after meeting his scent match. Being a Beta from the wrong side of the tracks, Cammie is often the victim of rumors and blatant disrespect from several alphas in town; and while in a panic searching for her daughter who somehow managed to wander outside of the home, she finds herself in a panic when she comes across a police officer. Rather than help her, Cammie finds herself feeling threatened and helpless against the alpha’s behavior. That’s when Reid, one of her Alpha neighbors (and super hot firefighter) swoops in to her rescue. Sparks fly, but Cammie thinks nothing of it since she is so used to being disregarded. Little does she know, Reid goes home to his Omega, the adorable and caring Finn, and confesses that he thinks he’s met their match. What follows is a beautiful hurt/comfort romance, with lots of steam, and found family perfection! Reid and Finn worship Cammie and absolutely adore her kids. They’ll do anything to protect them and cherish them, to erase all the hurt and rejection that their bio dad put them through. It’s such a heart warming and emotional story—perfect for when you’re feeling like something low angst with princess treatment for not just Cammie, but her kids as well. I definitely recommend picking this one up!!

Emotional read with children
Format: Kindle
Cammie is a single mother of two children whose ex-boyfriend, who is an alpha that he met his scent matched omega and dumped her via messenger on his phone then the next day put their house up for sale. Cammie moves back to her hometown, but because she has no support, is working two jobs to keep her and the children in a small rented house. One night her four year gets out of the house and she meets a neighbour, but she refuses to make the same mistake again by getting involved with another alpha, but Reid is convinced they are scent matched mates even though Cammie is a beta. Reid and his omega Fin start to court Cammie and her two children that they belong together as a pack and family. Cammie's ten year old son is a tough one to convince, but the scenes between him and Reid and Fin, they were so good. I was tearing up at times, found family was a big theme and I really liked this book. I highly recommend that you try it too.
