Teach Me: Sequel to Catch Me

by Sirena Song

Welcome back to the Jackson Pack from Catch Me.

My pack has finally found our omega. Sadie is perfect. Sweet. Unassuming. Brave. She fits into our lives, our home, and the town of Knotty Pines like she was made for us. I guess as our scent match, she is. Even though I know she’s mine, I can’t help but feel like something isn’t right. I know I’m the problem. My past haunts me, threatening the peace I’ve managed to grab hold of.

Now, with Sadie’s family in national headlines, she is thrust back into Lux City and the life she left behind. She needs her pack more than ever to navigate the wreckage left in the wake of her father’s secrets. My packmates come to the rescue, teaching me how to open my heart and heal old wounds. Even though I know nothing about what I’m doing, I would do anything for her. The more time I spend with my pack, the more I realize the depth of my feelings.

But it’s not only my feelings for my omega mate. As my position in the pack changes, new attractions begin to stir, and I find myself confused by my reactions to Tristian and Graham. When these new feelings arise, I’m not sure I’m brave enough to face them.

This is Elliot’s story from Catch Me (Knotty Pines Omegaverse Book 1) and should be read after the first book. It ends with an HEA.poly omegaverse with FM and MM romancefriends-to-loversbi awakeningfound familyhurt/comfortsmall town romance

This was perfect! Sadie and Elliot have a lot to deal with and their pack and mates are nothing but wonderful while they do so - supportive, patient, understanding, loving, kind. I did not read the Tame Me duet, but I had no problem understanding what happened to lead the Jackson Pack to the circumstances in the beginning of the book. I don't read MM romances outside of what may be in the OV or Why Choose books I read so I don't have a huge frame of reference for it. The changing dynamics between Elliot and Graham and Tristian were beautiful and made me have major heart feels. The relationships were genuine and loving, and their sexy times were very hot. Reading about Elliot embracing a previously unknown part of himself was touching. Some characters shined more than others and that felt correct for this story.

Jackson Pack is back and better than ever!

Elliot has always been my favorite in the Jackson Pack. I am glad he got his moment, his ability to process his own trauma, and open his heart more. Having so many chapters from his perspective makes up for the single chapter in Catch Me.

Watching Tristain and Graham's patience and love made the moments El opened up all worth it. And I love that El talks to Lo when he's ready to start exploring his sexuality. I love how much love and connection there is between all pack members, outside of the sexual relationships.

Seeing Hunter grow and soften to be what Sadie needed was beautiful. And just seeing how much this pack cares for Sadie was just swoon worthy. But I would have loved another Hunter chapter later in the book.

I also appreciated that with all of Sadie's grief and stress, she also has a very low libido. It's such a human response that is often left out of romance novels. And the guys never push her for more than she's ready.

This is a love story. The focus isn't just on sex, but on building strong and healthy relationships.

I couldn't wait to get back into Sadie's pack and especially into Elliots story more.

This one was packed full of challenges and emotions.
Elliot's trauma runs deep and his attempt to save his pack, especially Sadie, from any hurt was heartbreaking. His fear that it would be too much, that he would be too much for them, that he would cause hurt had me in tears.
Sadie wanting to fix the horrific mistakes from her family and overcoming her own trauma lead her to burnout and Elliot keeping himself from hurting his pack had consequences for them all.

The pining, the watching and waiting that came from Tristian and Graham, oh my heart, they are good men, they knew all along but waited until Elliot was ready, they put him first. The awakening of Elliot to these two, the acceptance and therapy that he undertook was so worth the wait.

Great conclusion to Sadie's pack story, the growth of the pack individually and as couples, it was so sweet in the end.

Getting to dive back into the house with Sadie and her men was great! The dynamic of this pack is complicated and Teach Me gave a nice conclusion to the story.
It’s a slow burn but when it heats up you get all the spice.

I enjoyed this recent release by Sirena Song. It follows the Jackson pack from the book Catch Me. It was so nice to revisit all of these well loved characters and I loved getting to know Elliot better. Tristan "Doc" and Graham were absolute standouts in this book. The way they respect, show love, and care for their pack is absolutely outstanding. They are absolutely the best kind of alphas.

This was such a sweet and heartwarming cozy story. Definitely check it out but make sure you read Catch Me first.

[Lissa J · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved finally having a more complete picture of the pack from Catch Me. It was great to revisit these characters and get some answers about the extra relationships that were hinted at in Catch Me. This was a quiet romance as the pack healed from the events in Tame Me. Elliot learned to open up to the pack, develop new romances, and let others in about his past. Sweet, sexy, reverse harem omegaverse with m/m. (No suspense like the previous book in series)

Lessons Learned

I loved getting to revisit the Jackson pack so much. While this is mainly Elliot’s story, it also shows us how the whole pack is dealing with the fallout after the events at the end of Tame Me part 2, and all the changes for them because of the troubles with Sadie’s dad. Ultimately though, the main focus of the story is all about Elliot coming to terms with new parts of himself, as well as the emotional struggles & personal growth he needed to do that, and all while watching him form new bonds within the pack (which also led to some amazingly spicy scenes 👀🥵🙌🏻). Watching the pack pull together as a family, and watching bonds expand, grow & strengthen even more than before was a story I didn’t know I needed in my life. It was just one of the best things I’ve read so far this year. It just reminded me of all the reasons I fell for these characters in the first place, and drove home how much they touched my heart & made a home there. By far some of my favorite Omegaverse stories of all time ❤️

heartwarming

I adore Sirena Song’s Knotty Pines universe! Each story is so sweet with touches of heartbreak to make them relatable.

Teach me was just as incredible as the other stories Mn this world. Eliot learning to overcome past hurts and fears was beautifully written. Especially because they all worked together to help him. This story is an excellent example of how a pack, a family, should support one another. Even the different dynamics among their group showcased just how much love they held for each other, romantic or familial.

I look forward to more incredible stories from this author!

[Darkbooklover · Rating 5 out of 5]

Elliot holds a special place in my heart ❤️ getting this part of their story was everything I didn’t know I needed! This book made me ugly cry but in the best way Sirena did such an amazing job with closing out this world. I am so happy we got to see more of Elliot and his past the way the all love each other. Hunter, Logan, Red (Saddie), Elliot, Graham and Doc will forever hold a spot in my heart. In this story you get to see what make Elliot into the man that he is you see the struggles and perseverance that he goes through I absolutely love his mantra that he lives by.

My mates love me. This pack is my family, and these people are my home.

[Sue · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was much better than the first. The author did a decent job of balancing out the characters in the story. I could feel the relationship had more depth and maturity.

Some problems I had were that I feel like we still don't know much about Tristan and Graham. I was also a bit dissapointed that Elliot opened up to and had more moments with Graham especially when Tristan clearly liked him more and yearned for him longer. I wanted more Elliot and Tristan moments. I'm glad that the center of focus was still on Sadie, their omega, but because of that I felt like there weren't as much moments between Elliot and his alpha mates as in romantically.

[Courtney Hurd · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is Elliot’s story. This book picks the storyline back up from the end of Tame Me Part 2 and is the sequel to Catch Me, we see what’s happening with Sadie’s pack.
This book is raw and emotional.
Sirena is a wonderful storyteller and this book is no exception. We see all of the struggles the pack are dealing with and see the way they comfort and help each other.

[Saz · Rating 5 out of 5]

oh my lanta.

This book was a phenomenal sequel to the Knotty Pine series. I loved the dynamics that were brought into play, the returning characters and the character growth throughout. I shed a few tears and definitely blushed up a storm a few times. Well worth the read, but make sure your read the other ones first.

[Not YoMamas Bookshelf · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’ve enjoyed this series a ton, but this one was so depressing. This would be a 3 star for me but it is written so well it gets a 4.
I’m annoyed with the switch between real names & nicknames in the same paragraph. It’s confusing & takes more effort to remember or figure out than it should.
I also decided I like Madison a lot better than Sadie.

Good Read

I liked how this book added to the guys story told in the first book and to me it felt like it tied up everything that was left open. I loved the story and enjoyed watching Elliot find his completion was amazing. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would totally recommend giving it a read.

[Wendy Emerson]

Teach Me by Sirena Song is the sequel to Catch Me and book five in the Knotty Pines Omegaverse. This story is all about Sadies pack, but specifically Elliot. Such a beautiful love story. I love Tristan and Graham. This had me in all my feels and I loved it.

A Book of Love

This whole story sang of love to me. Love for packs, love for mates, love for friends, chosen family, and lovers. It expanded my understanding of love in all its forms. Thank you so much Sirena for opening your heart and creativity to your readers.

[Mary Rose · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was happy to see this continuation from Catch Me so we could watch Elliot work through his past and be rewarded with a bright future with all three of his mates and his chosen family in the pack. Elliot deserved all the best. <3

[Maria · Rating 4 out of 5]

A solid extension of the Catch Me pack, I liked the focus on the gradual bi-awakening of one of the guys. There wasnt quite enough non-fluffy content for me, but I still enjoyed my time revisiting this crew.

Elliot
Valeu a pena esperar essa sequência, foi emocionante
I love Bear

[LeeAnne McCabe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Teach Me is Elliot's story. This is a bi-awakening tale filled with self doubt, heart ache, and finding his home with his mates. Elliot overcomes so many of his personal traumas from the loss of his first pack, how he gains his scent, and finding love and acceptance. This book gave me literally all of the feels. But ultimately, the biggest feeling was gratitude at seeing someone so broken find peace and joy. I loved this book and Sirena's closure to the Knotty Pine series was spectacular. I can't wait to see what she does next.
