Riley and the guys are in a world where Omegas can be treated in vastly different ways, depending on the group of Alphas. It was an interesting take, with Omegas being susceptible to a wasting disease, and a pack with an Alpha very much trying to avoid feeling his feelings. While spicy, it wasn’t overly so (for this genre), and spent much more time on the interactions and relationships. It did feel a bit rushed toward the end, but overall I liked it.

This book was amazing. Riley story was sweet and good read that you don't want to put down. Riley is in a pickle when Miles saves her. When Miles brings her home to meet the rest of the guys Fox, Levi, and Thane who didn't want an omega. This book was all about growth and love. And I'm excited to see what else this author brings us in the future.

A fun read. Lovable characters. Some emotional moments could've used a bit more depth and character development. Overall very enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this story and take on omegaverse! 😍 I love how the guys were just what she needed and helped her. They cared for her at her lowest and highest, that was beautiful!

I also really enjoyed that it had a natural progression through the book. I also really love that she took care of the boys but I would’ve loved to have had more of the individual relationships. They were mentioned and were brief but I needed a little more. 

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the next book. 🥹

A Knot to Remember

There was so much that is meta about this book. EJ references Beauty and the Beast, and you see some of that, the main character is a romance author and you see some of that, too. I titled this review A Knot to Remember because it gave me serious “A Walk to Remember” vibes, but with a happy ending. Very enjoyable, laughed out loud several times and has charming characters.
