Forget-Me-Nots and Apricots

Cozy Omegaverse Romance, Book 2

By: Aspen Winters

Narrated by: Audrey Obeyn, Alex Kydd

Vivian has never needed anyone to protect her—especially not an Alpha.

As an Omega raised by strong-willed Alpha parents, she runs her late grandfather's flower shop with confidence, standing her ground in a city that expects her to submit. Love isn't on her agenda, and with a string of gruesome murders targeting Omegas, romance is the last thing on her mind.

That is, until a disastrous first encounter with an Alpha detective leaves her pinned to the ground in a funeral home. When the mortician clears up the misunderstanding, the detective is forced to apologize—but Vivian isn't the forgiving type. She wants nothing to do with him or his relentless packmates, who seem determined to infiltrate her life with gifts, smirks, and far too much Alpha arrogance.

But when she becomes entangled in a chilling murder case, staying away from them is no longer an option. The detectives insist on protecting her, and as the danger escalates, so do their feelings. Vivian isn't the kind of Omega who needs saving—but with a killer closing in and her independence at stake, she may have to decide whether trusting them is a risk worth taking.

A cozy romance mixed with a murder mystery, with Alphas who formed a pack out of necessity, and an Omega who is fine without someone taking care of her.

I wanna like it SO BAD

Im sorry but I just cant I made it with 68% done but that "analytical" word addiction is gonna take me outtt. I pushed past it so hard but there's only so many times you can hear it befor it get on your nerves. and I would get it if it was like a common word for different things but its ONLY used to describe ONE character. Like and I get it he's calculating cool but let's use other word please. And the fact that we frog hop over Dakota THREATENING her in her shop AFTER he tackled her and we just sweep it under the rug never sat right with me. I mean I dont think there was ever an apology from him. But again I didn't finish the book but I cant keep hearing that word.

Stop saying Analytical!!!

This book had potential but the writer really struck a nerve with the over use of the word describing Theo. The first one was so much better. The nasally voice used for Theo was a bit much too. I’d really like to see more from the male narrator as well
