Knotty or Nice: A Limited Edition Christmas Omegaverse Anthology by Vivian Murdoch

5.0

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.
