Knot All Is Perfect

Lunarcrest City Omegaverse #1

by Holly Monroe

Nora Summers is the Perfect Omega.

No, really. That’s what they call her.

The pride and joy of the Design Clinic, every bit of Nora’s genome was specifically chosen to make her the ideal Omega. Luckily for her, she was guided into reaching her full potential.

The core tenets of the Perfect Omega are very simple.

The Perfect Omega must be the picture of beauty and health.

She must maintain a clean, beautiful home and provide for her Alphas by cooking their meals, mending their clothes, and doing household chores.

She must never whine or guilt her Alphas for comfort unless she is in heat.

Above all, she must please her Alphas every day, in every way, deferring to them in every instance.

Doing all of this, Nora just knows she will find her perfect pack. And what pack wouldn’t want the Perfect Omega?

Pack Sloane is not the perfect pack. Far from it. With an Alpha who acts more like an Omega, a burly Beta who isn’t supposed to be a part of a pack, a hacker with a heart of gold, and a chef with a bad attitude and no desire for an Omega, lead Alpha Nolan has his work cut out for him when he finds himself unexpectedly scent matched to the Perfect Omega.

While most of the pack is excited to bring Nora home, it quickly becomes apparent that something is amiss when it comes to her training, and maybe the Perfect Omega isn’t so perfect for Pack Sloane.

Pack Sloane has 3 personalities for 5 guys. Levi is a sub, Joey is a dom beta, and Chase is the reluctant jerk. There’s two other guys who hang around. One owns a gym and one might be a hacker. They don’t play an important role on this book. They don’t have families, or backgrounds, or really anything that is memorable.

Nora is actually an interesting character. I could have used a bit more agency for her in the second half of the book. It would have been more interesting if Nora had some thoughts or feelings or a POV after returning to her mother’s house.

There’s a glaring plot hole in this book. Is slavery illegal in this world or not? How is there no case precedent for owning a person? It says in the narrative that interfering with an Omega’s heat is illegal because it’s a violation of human rights. If Omega’s have human rights and there is a legal framework for those rights, then how has humans-as-property slipped through the legal cracks? Also, how can a guardian simultaneously have the right to approve pack bonding, but pack bonding trumps guardianship, legally? They repeatedly say that if they bond her (or marry her), then Nora can’t be removed. What are the repercussions for bonding an Omega against her guardian’s will? There don’t seem to be any. This legal framework makes no sense.

4 stars

Sometimes I have a craving for an omegaverse romance, especially one with a lot of angst and hurt/comfort, and this one delivered.

Set in a world where genetic engineering has produced Nora, The Perfect Omega — except her scent matches are horrified by what she’s been taught a perfect omega should be, and sets out to dismantle the internalised abuse and trauma. (Gah, that good hurt. What is wrong with me?!)

The story could have used tighter pacing in the second half (it felt a little long, and I even skimmed some of the heat scenes), but I still enjoyed the Olivia Benson influence

Overall this was a really enjoyable read, and I’m looking forward to the next book in the series!

*3.75

My first published omegaverse was actually a decent read? Nobody is more shocked than i am. Knot All is Perfect has a surprising amount of heart breaking angst and incredibly cute moments. However, I think this book solidified my dislike of reverse harem and why I can’t get behind it. Almost none of these characters have personalities, which I’ve also found is so common in this genre. I only found Chase, Joey, and Nora to have very clear personalities. The other guys are just kind of…there for the sake of being there? They don’t do much, and have very little discernible character traits. I didn’t mind the M/M stuff at all with Levi/Joey, but I also didn’t find Levi a compelling character in the slightest. This book uses a ton of the RH genre tropes with these characters. They all fit the mold of common characters in these books and I found them lacking in personality. I guess maybe most people aren’t reading RH for the characters to have unique personalities, but I could be the odd one out lol.

Aside from the characters, I was suprisingly into the plot of this book. Omega’s are a metaphor for women. This book involves the discussion of omega (women’s) rights, and our heroine overcoming a lot of trauma, physical, emotional, and sexual in nature, she faced due to the way she was raised as an omega. Seeing her heal from these experiences and learn to love herself and her pack was quite beautiful actually. Now when I started this book? I couldn’t even imagine coming on here and saying I enjoyed this book, much less saying it actually had decent writing, angsty moments, great tension, and heaps of feels. But here were are. And if this book wasn’t RH and MMF or MFM I probably would have enjoyed it more. But, anyways, this was a fun read, and I was surprised I enjoyed the omegaverse aspects.

Final verdict? I think I’ll be trying more omegaverse published works. If they have RH in them though is a thing to be seen.

[Marissa · Rating 1 out of 5]

I understand that for some reason authors feel the need to include an asshole love interest in RH books, but I really just did not understand Chase. Our apparently requisite alphahole, Chase, thinks Nora is lying and putting up a front about being perfect. But we never hear why??

Like, what motivation does he think she has to lie to this degree. To try to "trick" and "manipulate" these alphas. And trick them into what? Her family doesn't need this pack's money, if anything it seems Nora's family is way better off financially and socially.

So he thinks her perfection is bullshit and... takes it out on her? When all the other guys understand pretty quickly that she was abused and brainwashed into being how she is today?

Not my only problem with the book, but it felt lazy and made me uninterested in continuing. DNF

📖 what I liked

I absolutely devoured this story within two and a half hours. while this story does follow some typical tropes we see in omegaverse, it’s actually very unique in its own way.

I really liked this author’s take on scenting, we didn’t have to expect a million different scent categories. the way it’s done in this world made sense and wasn’t too overwhelming.

I 100% loved the darker aspects of this story. I’m not usually a crier but I was shedding tears 19% in to the story. I knew then that I would absolutely love this story and it would gut me all the way to the end.

I related so much to our fmc at certain points. I really loved her resilient nature. she truly is a strong character and fought hard to get to where she deserved to be.

absolutely loved our mmc’s and everything they were willing to do for her. to be loved so deeply no matter your scars is such a beautiful thing to read let alone feel through the pages.

what I didn’t liked:

I really liked the concept of alpha guard and omega drop but I wish we could’ve seen more of that. it really felt like that omega drop is something that should’ve happened to our fmc in a more serious manner but it didn’t happen. along with alpha guard, expected more from that plot point but we didn’t get it. luckily, it doesn’t affect the story at all.

I also would’ve loved to see what happened with her mother, it was pretty fade to black for her during the major moments of the second half of the book.

[minor spoiler] I wish the beta could’ve been a part of the actual bond. love how he was included but it still feels so incomplete excluding the beta from that aspect of being pack.

lastly, although I really liked the court scene, the lines that were struck through were hard to read and I think it’ll be difficult for those with visual impairments. I also in general lowkey…high key skimmed the trial scenes I fear.

delicious mm scenes

🌶️ Spice

the spice is good, solid 3. The bdsm aspects were done well wasn’t exaggerated of overwhelming at all. normally I stray from bdsm books because it’s always so over the top but this was done really well and the scenes weren’t doing the most.

📝 Special Notes

I was so lucky to get an arc of this and I 100% recommend it. I will be buying the book & I hope I get an arc of book 2 because Author Monroe popped up with this 🤭

I absolutely could not get enough of this.

Nora was incredible. Just everything that she went through and she was able to turn all of her abuse and trauma into something positive honestly made me tear up at times. I loved watching her grow and get more comfortable with her men.

Even though Chase was awful for a lot of the beginning, he still might be my favorite of the men with Joey as a close second. Every awful thing he did was done for a reason, even if it wasn't always clear as to why, and watching him grow too was amazing 😭.

Forever will I be obsessed with this author now.

[Louise · Rating 2 out of 5]

I keep reading these books in hopes they’ll give me the same feels Lola and the Millionaires did and they just don’t. The FMC was really frustrating. Chase’s actions didn’t make any logical sense and he essentially was just there as a bad plot device.

[Cat H · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.3 stars.
This was pretty good.
There was an over abundance of ‘dude’, ‘buddy’, and ‘man’ s, but I enjoyed the characters enough to look past that mostly. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Turbo Himbo]

Paused at 72% chapter 44. No discussion of children or pregnancy so far and I’m hopeful if I decide to continue this book later it will remain child-free.

This book is…frustrating.

I love the idea of a traumatized, brainwashed omega who presents as an absolute picture of perfect feminine grace and submission being forced to rethink her reality by a pack of all-in alphas who are her scent match.

Because scent match means perfect for each other and the safety that comes from that is sacred. Nora, the FMC in this book, should and does feel utterly safe with her pack and trusts them implicitly.

When she is taken from the pack and brainwashed again by her mother and doctor her ability to forget how perfect and safe a scent match is isn’t hard for me to believe because of the depth of her trauma.

The one MMC who holds out on loving, trusting, believing her and giving her a chance to become her own person with his and his pack mates’ support is also great when that trope is so often poorly done and poorly resolved. Mostly because the entire pack rips him up over it every chance they get. But it’s his decision to let her in and trust her, not the pack’s browbeating and not even the sanctity of a scent match (which he cleverly avoids by not getting close enough to scent her~) that resolves that storyline so well.

I’m not a fan of groveling, I don’t know why. But I think maybe the juxtaposition of external trauma to this relatively minor internal trauma from the MMC’s rejection makes the need for excessive groveling unnecessary and I welcome the lack of groveling. The rest of the pack is already committed to the FMC and making her safe and happy so one little jerkwad having to apologize doesn’t need to takeover the entire back end of the book. The MMCs and FMC coming together to fight the external trauma is much more appealing to me and allows the rejection to be swiftly resolved.

So swiftly able to be resolved that maybe it was unnecessary to begin with 🤔

What’s frustrating about this book is:

1. The shallow spice, this is a personal preference but if you’re going to include sex scenes, no matter how slow burn the book is, the scenes should be hot and descriptive and detailed and just more than this book provides. The sex in this book is almost all BDSM style, which is not my bag but which I *have* read good scenes of before. This book does not have what I consider good BDSM. It’s surface level and lightly detailed but absolutely would be the kind of sex I’d expect this kind of traumatized and repressed omega to revel in. It could have been done better, and maybe it’s just me but scenes of the FMC watching two MMCs getting it on during her sessions is not hot 🫤

2. One of the alphas was expected to present as omega and therefore is written to be very sensitive and withdrawn. This is also not my bag, but I have read it done well. This isn’t the worst version of a sensitive, withdrawn alpha I’ve ever read but it’s kind of pointless in the story. I can see how a gentle alpha would be easier for a brainwashed omega to open up to but for some reason the author chose to make the beta, who is the perfect choice for this role, the biggest, beefiest, scariest looking member of the pack and also the dom to the withdrawn alpha and omega’s subs. Maybe I’m a disgusting traditionalist, but if you’re going to write an A/B/O dynamic write within those expected traits unless you’re able to write trait subversions well. This trait subversion was not written well.

3. It’s long and drawn out and I don’t feel like every chapter is worth it. I’m willing to admit my reading-mind has been very difficult to capture lately and this is a complaint I’ve had about a few books recently but, dare I say, readers in general have complained about a lack of plot in books and authors who have taken that to heart just have not been able to deliver on the plot front.

I’m almost at the end but by 72% the omega has publicly denounced the organization that brainwashed her, accepted and been accepted by all her MMCs, had her first heat and yet somehow there’s more to this story. I’m curious enough to pause this book instead of DNFing but for now I’m back on the hunt for more traditional Omegaverses.

Fantastic and well-rounded story

I’ll admit, I go into most omegaverse stories with relatively low expectations as the vast majority that I’ve read are pretty average and leave a lot to be desired by the time I finish. But this was book was really well done and I’ve got to give credit where credit is due.

First, THANK YOU for that epilogue. One of my biggest pet peeves is really short epilogues that aren’t even that far ahead in the story, and here we got mini epilogues with Nora and each of the characters. It was lovely to see a little bit more of all of the individual relationships, see some healing, and wrap up a few loose ends with the plot. Nora and her men went through a lot to get here so it felt very rewarding to actually see that little slice of HEA.

A few other things I appreciated were the men—they each felt unique and their screen time felt pretty equal which is a common RH/why choose faux pas—and the way that the story handled the severity of the injustices against Nora. Society-doesn’t-respect-omegas-or-give-them-equal-rights is a pretty common trope, but rarely do stories navigate the world building and ramifications of it well. Thankfully the author did a great job with it here.

That being said, I do wish that there had been a bit more conflict with the public. It was a very serious thing that happened and a critical trial, and yet somehow every single character outside of Dr. Green and Nora’s mom were sympathetic. Like even the jury was like, “it was too easy.” Idk, not even having some mention of how a small minority agreed with Green or was against the pack just made it all feel too easy and it slightly undermined the serious nature of that plot line.

Finally, my other note is that I wish we had had a bit more of a personal confrontation between Nora and Green rather than just the press conference/court. I also wish she had had closure with her mother. In both cases, I think it just would have helped with the closure and would help show her finally being brave enough to stand up for herself.

Oh, I also wish Chase’s switch from antagonistic to being all in with Nora was a bit meh. Didn’t find it super believable.

But again, overall, super well done and I enjoyed the romance and the story. A handful of open-door explicit scenes, mild MM near the end, mentions of SA. Nora’s also really heavy on the naïveté in the beginning so quite a lot of hurt/comfort all throughout.

[Christine Reads · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm so sorry

This was probably one of the worst omegaverse books I've read in a while :(

This took me so long to read because of the constant time and plot jumps!

We follow Nora, who was trained to be the "perfect omega" but struggling to find her true pack. When she scent matches with an alpha at a random bar, she begins to learn that things aren't what they seem. Pretty much everything she was trained for was submission and obedience to the highest level of tradwife.

My issue is the fact that there are huge time jumps during the most important times. She is taken back and reprogrammed but her pack does nothing to stop it and practically just lets them. And when they get her back, she overcomes that sexual assault trauma with no problems. None. Not even a mention! It's just glazed over.

And don't get me started on the three month jump to a totally fake trial that would never have happened if the clinic had released a statement and provided lawyers to the case at hand.

The alphas were unlikable too like chase I wanted to punch his guts out he was so annoying and everyone else just blended in.

My favorite part was Levi the alpha starting a relationship with the beta Joey in a submissive role. That was literally the only saving grace of this novel.

[Elizabeth · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars.

I know, I know. More shallow trauma porn. I can't seem to help it these days. Too much 🌶️. I had to skip a bunch of scenes cause they didn't advance the story and I was over it. Plus, the author throws all sorts of BDSM and degradation in. I guess this is the way to distinguish which alpha has which fetish. Sigh.

But... it was very readable otherwise.

She's been though a LOT of abuse. Yikes.

[Cee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Okay, I wasn't sure about this book at first. I just wasn't here for the perfect omega, but decided to give it a try until she at least met her pack. I'm so glad I did like wow. The abuse and trauma she goes through and how her pack help her and get her help to heal and learn to be an actual person is so enthralling. I teared up quite a few times, I laughed, I smiled, I swooned.

Again, I'm really glad I gave this book a chance. I hope Plain Jane gets a book too so we can see her get a HEA after what we just know has to be a horrible situation for her.

[Bent Letters · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a good read! I was pleasantly surprised how well rounded this book was. The author did a fantastic job!

[Lee Tent · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing!!

Knot all is Perfect was a truly lovely omegaverse read. And can I say- the PACING was one of my favorite parts? This is a story about the characters, with all of the omegaverse flavors we love and a few ones I hadn’t come across before. Our FMC has been raised with majorly traumatic brainwashing, but as she is given freedom to explore she is sweet and fiery!! As someone who has left behind a high control culture, I recognized so many moments, and a book like this is such an amazing encouragement on my own journey. A reminder to keep growing, loving, accepting help, and being gentle with yourself along the way.

*Gentle spoiler*
Ok, the pacing I loved??? The FMC met her pack in chapter 1, was living with them a day later, and all of the early relationship trouble was packed in early on. This meant the big bad craziness happened in the middle of the book, they were reunited by 60%, and by 80% they were living their lives and moving on- which is a huge and important part of this particular story! Especially with the trauma themes, the big bad outside stuff is important, but it’s so much more important to see the process of our FMC and her pack work through healing with love and care.

[Nadine Ruiter · Rating 3 out of 5]

It started out great and I was really into it but then the trials started and it was just all bullshit. It was so boring and not fitting for the rest of the story plus the writing on that part just sucked tbh.. I skimmed the last 20% and I didn’t even care what happened to Nora. Sad that the ending flopped so hard.. 3.25 stars

[Caroline · Rating 2 out of 5]

DNF at 80%. Just not for me. The MFC was a shell and the men just had no backbone. The whole premise of her being groomed as property was ick. I finished the part where they all had bonded and just felt too bored to keep reading.

Loved! The concept was pretty unique, and I think the world this author has created has the potential for so many different storylines, so I’m excited to see where the series goes.

But if I had to pick one thing to critique, it would be the number of MCs. I tend to feel like 4 is the perfect sweet spot. Any more than that, and I have a hard time remembering all of them and their quirks. Any less, and it ends up feeling like something is missing.

Aside from that, the audiobook was super well done and I absolutely recommend an immersive reading experience..it’s definitely worth an audible credit!

Such a beautifully written Omegaverse! For this being Holly Monroe's first, she sure did do an outstanding job. I absolutely loved everything about Nora and Pack Sloane. It was a rocking ride full of twists and turns, trauma, court hearings, and spice, but they all found love, and that is what Nora needed. What they all needed! I'm not even going to lie, this book made me cry more times than I'd like to admit, but I laughed a lot, too. I highly recommend this if you love an Omegaverse, but please check trigger warnings ⚠️ as some darker themes are at play. My favorite quote was, "I am not the Perfect Omega. But I'm starting to believe I may be theirs."

[Cassidy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omegaverse happens to be one of my favorite genres. I went into this one not knowing what to expect and I LOVED it. It is unexpected in the best of ways. It gives you enough background on your characters. Just enough smut to keep you interested, but it doesn't overtake the Book. The plot/story line here captures your attention. While I did receive an advanced copy, I am so very happy that I found this author. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

This was a really good and quick read. I disliked Nora for most of the book but as she grew as a character I liked her more and more. Chase’s character development was amazing and shocked me. I can’t wait to read the next book

[Maggie JM Jackson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Knot all is perfect by Holly Monroe 5/5. This book takes you into Lunar City. This is an Omegaverse. Which means there are A/B/O designations. You will want to read the About Omegaverse at the beginning of the book (even if you have read a lot of Omegaverse because this one is a little bit different). Really liked that this one was different from most Omegaverse. That distinction made this feel new and exciting. This book gave me all the feels. Some parts might make you cry while other parts will make you laugh. Loved the men in the pack. Really loved Just Joey. He was an amazing addition to the pack. Would say this is a medium to slow burn. Spice would say is about 3.5/5. When I tell you I could not put this book down I mean it. It took me two days to read it which with work would normally take me four or more days. Do not hesitate to give this book a try.

I was hooked from the book dedication and I couldn't put this book down!!

"Whoops, looks like you just tripped and fell on a knot.
Oh no. Guess you're locked into reading now."

Nora's story was heavy! Holly did an incredible job with Nora's character. I loved her writing style so much. She brought out this beautiful character from the very start.

"I am Nora.
I am not the Perfect Omega.
But I'm starting to believe I may be theirs."

Nora was trained from the day she was born on how to be the perfect omega for her furture pack. Always expected to uphold her imagine. After all her mom did to make her the perfect omega she's was determined not to let her down. But being the perfect omega can be exhausting.

"What kind of b*llsh*t did they put her through to get her to this point? This isn't just schooling. This is something much more sinister."

I absolutely love a pack with a beta!!! But this one just hit so differently. Joey was such a huge pack member. Most of the book he was actually my favorite. I feel like sometimes they get lost as side characters. But Holly did such an incredible job of making him front and center at times!!

I love the way these men encouraged Nora to show them who she truly was. Continuously make her more and more confident!!

This book seriously had everything. An incredible grovel scene. A strong beta. 4 possessive alphas. A heck of a plot!!! An omega who got stronger and stronger as the book went on.

I couldn't believe how fast I devoured this book. It was almost 500 pages. And not once did I feel like it was slow or have the urge to skim!! It was so well paced. And kept me wanting more and more. This might have one of the best plots of any omegaverse I've ever read!

And she ended it with an epilogue from every pack memebers point of view!!!
"This pack, these men, do not fit into any mold. They do not follow the formula for the perfect pack even a little bit. No, Pack Sloane is not the perfect pack. But they are for me."

Though curiosity and a weakness for ABO books drove me to read and finish this book, there were so many aspects I wasn’t a fan of. Though it seems popular, I hate it when the MCs come with their own sort of marketing/branding campaign like the Spice Girls. It’s a cop out to character development and complexity, and sure, maybe that’s too much to expect in genre fiction, but it’s out there! Leta Blake’s MM ABO series is a great example of both richness in ABO world building and character development.

Anyway..This book, which in my head has been titled “The Perfect Omega” due to how many times that phrase was repeated, was set in a world kinda mostly like ours (the Stepford Wives was referenced, and somehow the restaurant industry is entirely unchanged) but also not because of eugenics and genetic engineering is totally accepted and desired. There’s some mansplaining of feminist self-empowerment, some fumbling exploration of what trauma and healing is, and some spicy ABO heat sex that doesn’t have the male MCs entirely pretending each other don’t exist (this might have been my favorite part of the book, actually). The author’s use of phrase repetition in Nora’s brainwashing/inculturation was interesting and made me think “Lady Tan’s Circle of Women” as well as Amanda Martell’s “Cultish”, but it sort of falls apart with how flimsy and fast the recovery process is (just have a bunch of sex with your loving mates who magically have not internalized any cultural misogyny!). If that appeals to you, by all means, read it! I’m not mad I did, but it wasn’t great.


Oh yeah! I forgot that one of the things that really struck me and tempted me to add another star was how Nora read when you coded her as an Autistic woman. It brought a whole new level of potential realism had the author intended it to be so.
