If you are looking for a Knotty good time and love omegaverses, this might be the anthology for you. It is a fantastic collection of a variety different omegaverse romances from talented authors. Among my favorites included Hannah Haze and Merri Bright's contribution. Merri Bright's the Billionaire's Christmas Betasitter is a fun age gap romance featuring Nicholas and Candy. It might be short but it is still packed with heat and drama. This really had me invested.

I love a good anthology. This was a good one with lots of knotting and fated mates. There were two stories that I did not finish because of the trigger warnings or I just didn't care about the characters. but out of the 13 novellas that were present, I really enjoyed the 11 that I made it through.
All of them were quite spicy. There were reverse harems, Male omegas, mating bites, knots, and so many other spicy elements.

Download and read this anthology for Merri Bright’s contribution alone! She fits so much in such a tiny package. I absolutely loved reading her first MF contribution to the omegaverse world.
The Billionaire’s Christmas Betasitter is a short story about mistaken identity, an omega in the wrong place at the right time, forced proximity, and soul mates. Candy is an omega who has had all choice stripped from her. Either she gets this job with Mr. Nicholas Paxson, or she returns home and suffers a marriage with an alpha she doesn’t want. Pax knows from the first scent that she is not the beta she is pretending to be but an omega, his omega, and forbidden – a big fifteen-year age gap of forbidden.
Merri is a diabolical genius. Sure, this is a short story, but it is not short on drama or steam. She starts by throwing you up to the highest of highs as the characters realize they have found their one true mate. And then she turns around and pulls deep from your core - that desperate twisted feeling low in your gut as you suffer the feeling of rejection along with them. Back and forth, she tugs your strings. Throw in some delicious mini-heats with all the goodness of omegaverse stories - plenty of dirty talk, knotting, slick, and even a nest, and you have a perfect little omegaverse tale.
It hurt so good, that coupling of pain and pleasure and the buildup made the HEA even sweeter. I highly recommend this story to all omegaverse lovers.

If you're a fan of Omegaverse and Christmas? These stories will definitely be great anthology to read! It features so many amazing authors, some that you may know and some new! I loved both stories that I was able to read in advance, and I can't wait to read the other stories!
Merri's story was super cute, we meet Candace aka Candy who is an omega that initially applied for a Personal Assistant job, but ended up being accepted as a 'Beta Sitter'. Both jobs were for Nicholas Paxson aka Pax, a billionaire who initially said yes to baby sitting his nephew for his sister and brother in law. It was a bit of a mess, but it turns out it was for the best reason, they turn out to be true mates. It was not an easy road but they eventually get their HEA!
For In Stockings, oh my gosh this was the CUTEST story ever. I loved Astrid, she's a nursing student as well as an Omega. She is working as an elf for Santa and while handing out lollipops, she meets Lyra, who's the cute daughter of her former classmates. Craig, Samson and Archie are a pack of alphas, that immediately recognize what Astrid is, an omega. What the guys don't know is that Astrid had a crush on all 3 of these guys. This story reads like a rom-com in the BEST way, and I wouldn't mind seeing these characters again.
I haven't read the other stories, but I am definitely looking forward to reading Holly by Mira Kane the Cosmic Bonds series, and A Perfect Pack Christmas with the characters of Nicky and the Nightowls.
If you've been looking to read new authors, or want to dive into the world of omegaverse? This is the perfect opportunity!

Sadly this wasn’t for me. The only story I really enjoyed was the betasitter story. Personally MM only without an F (I’m an MFM or MMF fan) is not for me and there are multiple of those if it’s your jam. I’m, also not a fan of incomplete teaser stories in anthology and this one has a few of those as well. Also, one story has timing inconsistencies. I liked that story, but the error threw me off.
Seriously I’ve been looking forward to this for a while I’m sadly disappointed. I read this with a KU. Some will probably love this as it has many elements so please keep that in mind.
