I’ve been after revenge for a long time, and Carissa Castle is the key. Sure, my packmates are taken with her; and sure, she’s far more tempting than I expected. That honeycomb and ginger scent makes my mouth water. But I volunteered for this tv show so I could take her and her family down. Embarrass them; hurt them as badly as they hurt my family. And no matter how sweet her scent, or how strong my urges, that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

When my boss calls me into his office at the San Francisco Herald and tells me about my new assignment, I suspect that my parents have pulled a fast one. After all, it isn’t the first time they’ve manipulated my boss to try to get what they want from me. True, they’ve never signed me up for a reality dating show before. That’s new. But I’m a team player, and I promise my boss I’ll get the story. Maybe I’ll even get some good deep… backstory… in the process.

Once I get to the mansion, though, I find that nothing is as I expected. Between viperous reality show producers, omegas who don’t trust me any farther than they can throw me, and alphas who tug at my heart strings… this place is a recipe for trouble.

No one is more tempting than Pack Three: Conrad, Henry, and Axel. But after everything I’ve been through, I’m not sure how much I can trust them… or anyone. Can I really open up enough to join their pack?

It's been a couple of years since I read the first book in this series. So I didn't connect with some of the throw backs and cameos that were included to connect the through line. But I don't know that I'll read the next one any time soon either. All of the things that I enjoyed in the first one were there. Specifically an omegaverse reality TV show. What's not to like. I like OV and I like reality TV. The rest of it, well. It's harder to swallow. I get that there were some big feelings surrounding Conrad and Carrisa's past. But the idea of a grown man still needing "revenge" on his first girlfriend is so silly. Like...grow up. You're out here basically living your best life because she "left" you, so get over it. 

Spoilers: Then there was the fact that Henry and Axel picked this woman they just met over the man they'd chosen to be part of their pack for life. I can't even get over how messed up that is. I mean, it all works out in the end and Conrad finally pulls his head out of his behind. But it took awhile to get there, that's for sure.
