“Sua sponte” (Of their own accord). Historical US Army Rangers motto, adopted as a regimental motto by the USAriadna Grunts to signify the voluntary character of their unit.
Veteran sergeants tell a little tale of the peculiar way the first ever Grunt unit was gathered. As the story goes, the colonist Old Man Ross, a former Ranger commander, was worried about the increasingly bold Antipode incursions into his neighboring farms in Franklin County. His old soldier nose told him the attacks would soon become unmanageable, so he resolved to take matters into his own hands. With unwavering determination, he went into The Blockhouse, the busiest bar in the county, and with vague promises of violent action and specific promises of beer, he managed to recruit a bunch of dauntless young men. Old Man Ross turned out to be quite the charlatan, making up all kinds of sordid details as he went along, and getting more and more inventive as the bottles went dry. The atmosphere got more and more heated, and when he made veiled references to how thankful the county women would be to the defenders of their virtue against those vicious Antipodes, the crowd of young men exploded in cheers and stormed out of the bar in search of the evil alien raiders.
That first mission was a resounding success, and Old Man Ross was able to ride the momentum of victory to create a local defense group which he then proceeded to professionalize the hard way, shoving the military code of the old American Army and the harsh training program of the Rangers (along with their spirit and motto) down his recruit’s throats. When he deemed his men were a genuine military force tested in battle against the Antipodes, he sent instructors to neighboring counties in a move that planted the seed of the modern USAriadnan infantry.
But, despite their Ranger creed and unlike their old American counterparts, these soldiers would not make up a light infantry corps. As a consequence of the idiosyncrasies of the USAriadnan people, the Grunts needed to become a heavier line unit. Old Man Ross knew his compatriots well, and he knew that every USAriadnan settler owns at least two firearms that he keeps loaded and ready to fire. His Grunts needed to become a tougher force to combat whatever the settlers were unable to fight off themselves. And thus the new USAriadna Rangers evolved into a Medium Infantry formation that soon established stations all across the land as the foremost USAriadnan line infantry corps.
Admittedly, we don’t know how much truth there is to this apocryphal story. What we do know is that Franklin County is currently home to the headquarters of the original 1st Line Ranger Regiment, also known as Grunts. If you happen to pass by you’ll see it is everything you’d expect from a USAriadnan settlement: a nice, quiet place, but also the worst place to find yourself in a bar brawl—you’ll always find someone capable of beating the stuffing out of you, and plenty of folks more than willing.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas.
But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way.
Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters.
That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception.
SPOILER:
The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured.
I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.
