I admit that I am not familiar with A/B/O books and the dynamics in those stories. However, this turns out not to be the case when Lord Raphael turns him away at every opportunity and then denies him even a touch of their hands. He is taken aback by the chilly response of his future husband and even if he comes to believe that he and Lord Raphael will not necessarily fall in love, Milan still hopes that they can be friends. He travels for weeks alone from his home in the South into the colder estates up north to meet and marry his husband. But what we do know about Milan, is that he’s outgoing and used to be from a big family that is full of love and warmth. The actual reasons and setup for the arranged marriage is not explained well. There is very little world building outside of a few things thrown into the story.

This story is about an Omega, Milan, who has gotten himself into an arranged marriage with an Alpha he’s never met. This book does not contain any mpreg, but is heavily implied that mpreg exists in this world. Trigger warnings for abuse, mentions of rape, mentions of emotional manipulation, and PTSD. The last 20% is ridiculous and absurd, and there could’ve just been another sex scene and an epilogue with the puppies or meeting the MC’s family and the story would have been fine without the added drama of an abusive ex coming back with a scheme to take the love interest’s entire estate. This is a full-length novel with only the last 4% or so of content filled with an author’s note and a look into the author’s other books.Īnd aside from that, I don’t even want to go into the last 20% of this book because there’s more important issues at hand I want to talk about. But I can’t remember the last time a 300 pages book was a novella. Least importantly, the blurb says this book is a novella.

Or will Milan perish along with his heart? Will Milan be able to win his husband’s regard? What terrible secret is Lord Raphael keeping, and will Milan be able to discover it before it’s too late? He’s used to fighting for what he wants-but can he survive a husband as cruel as Lord Raphael?īeing bonded to one who rejects you is a painful thing. Milan finds himself unwelcome in what he must now call his new home. It doesn’t take long for Milan to realize that all the rumours about Lord Raphael are true. Perhaps he might find friendship in the arranged marriage. They say that Lord Alpha Raphael Ledford, the man he is to marry, is as arctic as the weather of his land.

He must travel North through the continent towards the snow, the cold, and his new betrothed.
