When the alpha who all but destroyed Lola tries to start a game of cat and mouse that's all claws, the safest place for Lola may be the one she's most terrified of, in the arms of an alpha pack. Lola and The Millionaires by Kathryn Moon is recommended all the time here. If only she could resist their perfect beta, Leo, whose patience and determination to see her heal breaks down one wall after another. And Lola is only a beta, one who comes with deep scars and an unshakeable aversion to alphas and their powerful presences. These alphas are everything Lola dreamed of, but they already have an omega-a playful male model who won't stop flirting with her. But that's easier said than done when one stumbling incident after another leads Lola closer to an alluring pack of captivating men. Armed with her dream job and her less than dreamy apartment, Lola is ready to start a new chapter of her life without alphas. No more hiding in her cousin's apartment licking wounds that won't heal. No more chasing alphas who abuse and toss away betas like her. Lola Barnes only wants one thing, to get her life under control. I would highly reccomend this to anyone who wants a comfortable/unintimidating sci fi novel with interesting ideas, wholesome characters, accessible language, steady pacing, and interpersonal relationships. This book was just what I needed during a stressful period. Luckily, it appears that this book is a part of a series, so I'm glad to know that I'll be able to "go" on another adventure with these sweet space characters again (if I can get my hands on a copy of the next book!) I feel a bit sad too, since I feel quite connected to the characters now and I did not want the book to end (I started flipping pages really slowly at the end haha). I really enjoyed how the book focused on interpersonal relationships between all of the different characters, and I loved the little bits of humour and pacing of the story. I feel really warm inside after reading this novel. I just finished reading this very comforting science fiction book.

Yet MacCarthy’s Byron: Life and Legend inspires just the opposite thought: that there is so much that one does not want to hear again. Never has a dead poet lived on so successfully without his poetry. Everyone seems to agree that the making of a celebrity (somewhere he must have been called a ‘cultural icon’) is fascinating enough in itself. In the Guardian the historian Kathryn Hughes thought that ‘Byron was indeed someone special,’ but ‘not, perhaps, because of his poetry, which is hardly read now.’ Coinciding with this biography, an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know: The Cult of Lord Byron, confirmed the allure of the poet’s ‘life and legend’. Judging by the immediate critical response to Fiona MacCarthy’s biography, the appetite for Byron’s life is indeed sharpened by all the stories we already have. Here was a story that would excite us because of what we already thought we knew. ‘Everything you’ve ever heard about him is true,’ the husky female voice-over promised.
