She's out of their league... but they're still playing for keeps.

You know the phrase, “It is what it is?” Well, for Bridget Woods, it is what you make it.

But even she has to admit… this situation seems pretty hopeless.

She accepted the Locke Pack’s ridiculous offer so she could finally find some control over her life. Sure, they were a hot mess and she definitely hated them, but Bridget was never a girl to shy away from a challenge.

She also never expected she would be splashed across media headlines, outed as the famous pro-baseball players’ “fake fiancée.” There’s only one way to save face—the atrocious alphas have to double-down and move in with her.

With four strong-willed men invading her space, Bridget soon finds out her beloved independence might be a little hard to swing. Big-bat-wielding alphas who smell like her own personal heaven? All up in her business (not to mention her tiny bedroom)?

It sounds like a fun, naughty dream she had once. But now the men who only wanted Bridget as a showpiece are suddenly treating her like she might be their mate… And making sure she knows exactly how much they want their fake engagement to become the real deal.

Can Bridget still walk-off without catching feelings? Or will these players beat her at her own game?

“Little does she know, I haven’t hooked up with anyone since Colt’s accident. Eight weeks is practically a record for me. Let alone the extra two months I’m about to pile on top of that.”

So the relationship is “fake” but one of the MMC’s (I think he isn’t the only one) has sex with OW after meeting the FMC (they are fake engaged for over 1 year)… and in the first chapters they treat the FMC poorly…

I always enjoy each new book in this series, and this one was equally as good. Bridget is such a bright and colorful Omega and brings joy everywhere she goes. I love that she didn't let her internalized struggles from her awful family damper her brightness. She's so sweet and loving and more than deserved the perfect pack for herself. Each of the guys balance her and the pack so well. Of course they were all a hot mess in the beginning, but thankfully they got it together and they all got their HEA. I enjoyed the little cameos of past pack members and I'm so curious to see where this series goes next.

Ari Wright writes consistently good omegaverse books and this one is no exception.

The storyline was hard-hitting and powerful in terms of self esteem and being kind to yourself. I loved the characters and seeing cameos from the previous characters.

Bridget is probably my favourite FMCs from the series so far, I adored her!

Bridget is absolutely perfect and precious and I will accept no criticism of her 😌. She's kind and bright and bubbly even through all of her insecurities and just does whatever she can to make the world a better place and she deserves absolutely everything.

The guys had a lot of groveling to do, except Adrian he's also perfect, and she really made them prove that they wanted her before she forgave them as she freaking should have. Colt had a side eye from me for a hooooot minute but he turned out to be a giant cinnamon roll 💅🏻.

I really liked the way her scent was done. It was a unique twist that I haven't read before and it's something I would want more of. Oh and that spice? Spicing 😌.

thank you the hambright pr and the author for the gifted arc>

"But my omega is sad. And he wants me to burn the world to the group. Chill, dude. We can just cuddle her. No arson necessary."

I will start by saying that I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review. These opinions are my own. Thank you so much to Ari and Hambright PR for sending a copy my way⁠!

Who knew all I needed in my life was a fake engagement turned fated mates omegaverse? And boy, did I need this!

Bridget is not your typical omega. She’s plus-size & her lemon scent is heavily acidic & has turned away suitors. When an old high school acquaintance, Jesse, reaches out with the proposal for a fake engagement, she jumps at the chance. Jesse is the pitcher for the Kings’ baseball team & his pack needs some serious PR help. The plan is working, until it’s leaked to the media that their engagement is fake. To save face, the pack moves into her tiny house. And queue the chaos!

I adore Bridget. She is a plus-size omega, which, as a plus-size girly, I love to see. Bridget has been told her whole life that there is something “clearly” wrong with her. Since it’s all she heard, Bridget understandably has a negative self-image. It was wonderful to see how the Locke Pack helps build her confidence.

My lord, this pack is an absolute mess. It’s no wonder that they were falling to pieces since Dante, Colt, Jesse and Bridget couldn't express their feeling to save themselves. Thank the gods for Adrian! This man deserves a gold star. He practically strong-armed them together. I fear without him, the rest of them would’ve imploded.

The relationship gets off to a wrong start thanks to murky communication and misinterpretations. I ate this up! That scene at the gala, I was so stressed. But when we got the big reveal I was squealing & kicking my feet. It was utter perfection! Also, the nest shopping scene! So good!

Ari Wright writes my brand of sweet omegaverse. I’m a little sad I didn’t pick this series up sooner, but better late than never! If you love an omegaverse and want messy characters with a sports romance flavour, this is the book for you.

This one was pretty damn sweet. It is a fake fiancee trope, but whereas usually in those types of stories, the fake couple lives together and starts falling for each other, in this case they continue totally separate lives until the secret comes out about it all being fake. It made it more interesting, because the guys had just been using her as cover. How do they convince her they want more, when that's been the case for over a year?

The FMC Bridget was also pretty great - despite growing up with a mother and sister who were complete bitches, Bridget was pretty sunshine. But not in a ditzy way. She learned early how to take care of herself and manage her own life, finding happiness in the little things, and in helping others. There was some deep-down hurt about all the things she'd been convinced she could never have, but she didn't ever let that hold her back. And so while she knew the guys were using her, she used them right back - the deal with them got her a home away from her bitch-on-wheels sister, and control over their charitable donations, so she could help the projects that were nearest and dearest to her. And when it all got fucked up because the secret leaked, she put up with no shit, adamant that they fix it. She was great.

Well. That was literally the only ending that I would accept after going through all of that with these characters.
I wish more conversations and healing about her trauma had happened but otherwise it was a pretty good book.
I did really enjoy all the different ways their relationships develop with her.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏𝟑!

For Knot Her Catch to be dubbed an enemies to lovers romance, it’s surprisingly sweet, super swoony, and oh so spicy!

The book follows Bridget, an omega who has always been seen as undesirable thanks to her very pungent perfume. So, when the Locke Pack extends the offer of a fake engagement to save their reputation, Bridget jumps at the opportunity.

Being their fake fiancée gives Bridget the freedom and control she has been longing for, just without a real happy ending—a price she's willing to pay for her independence.

Things go a bit sidewise when their fake relationship makes headlines, and soon Bridget finds herself surrounded by the four overprotective alphas she cannot stand in an attempt to save face.

The more time spent around the Locke Pack quickly has the lines between what’s real and what’s fake blurring, and Bridget doesn’t know if she’ll escape this arrangement unscathed.

This was my first read by Ari, but absolutely not my last.

"My soulmates, my sparring partners, my caretakers, and lovers."

The way Ari Wright brings her packs together sometimes in the most unconventional way will always be a favorite of mine! Fake engagement in an omegaverse! I am not sure i have ever read that before. And boy did Ari deliver! She didn’t just give us a swoon-worthy pack of protective alphas. She also gave us an omega who’s equal parts sweet and caring with the biggest heart, but she is also feisty and sassy. Watching this pack come together had me completely hooked.

Bridget was the perfect omega, and seeing her find her HEA with a pack that absolutely worshipped her felt so deserved. Especially after everything she went through.

This pack of alphas is definitely something to swoon over! The way they spoiled her, adored her, worshipped her, and protected her. What more could a girl ask for? Although, it definitely too some convincing on their part, but these alphas were absolutely up for the challenge! I can’t get over the way Jesse had pined over Bridget for years. Or the unapologetic way Adrian wanted her to call him daddy (I’m always here for a good daddy k*nk!). Or the sweet way Dante was always scent marking her. And even though it took Colt a little longer to come around, Ari did not disappoint when these two finally found their way to each other.

Ari gave us everything we could want and more in this spicy, heart-melting omegaverse romance!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

This isn’t my first read by Ari Wright…so why do I alway forget that she starts with the drama & sets things right along the way….she is definitely not a “things are great until 80% & then bam…haha” type of writer…she gets the drama started in the very beginning & takes off from there….love it!!!

I’ve loved all of the FMC in this series but Bridget is my number 1….she is all of us at some point in life….questions everything because she was always told she wasn’t good enough….little did she know she was perfect…maybe not perfect for everyone but perfect for the ones that matter

Then you have the men in her life….they had a lot of growing up to do….the first 3 needed the 4th to show them the way….teach them how to be the men they were always meant to be

I usually pick a pack favorite…mine this time was Jesse….Colt was a close second though…I think he had the most growth throughout the book…he tugged at my heart a lot….& who couldn’t love Dante & Adrian….those two can spoil me rotten any time they’d like please & thank you

& we can’t forget the neighbor lady Betty…she was a hoot!!! Her snark was chefs kiss

If these tropes appeal to you give this book a read…even though it is part of a series it can be read as a standalone

I read books 1-3 and loved them, so when I saw the ARC sign-ups from Hambright PR in my email, it was a no-brainer.

You guys I was not expecting to spend the first half of the book crying 😭😭😭 (and I loved every minute of it. Sometimes I need a book that emotionally wrecks me lmao).

If you’ve ever felt alone, misunderstood, under-appreciated, or like you just don’t fit in, this FMC will speak to your soul. The body positivity and overcoming of covert familial abuse & medical gaslighting were the sprinkles on top of the beautiful, funny, plus-sized goddess that is Bridget.

The boys were a HOT MESS until daddy Adrian came along to save the day. I absolutely adored the ways he flexed his dominance when they needed strong guidance, but also listened to and cared for their individual needs and wants. And he’s so sweet with Bridget.

My would-have-been-nice list is fairly short: I do think that if we’re advertising daddy kink, we should get more daddy kink on page. It was very, very limited, and only towards the end of the book, which is a bummer if you’re into it and looking forward to it. I did also wish we’d gotten more info earlier on about Bridget’s scars and the experience (avoiding spoilers here…) that gave them to her; I feel like it would’ve been a traumatic enough experience to be seen on page more, at the very least in the form of inner monologue or bad dreams or *something*. She wouldn’t have just moved on. Finally, I do wish we had more baseball on-page. It all mostly happened during their off-season, which made sense as a vehicle for driving the plot, but I’m the type of reader that wants a lot of whatever sport the sports romance involves.

Tropes:

🍋 omegaverse
🍋 baseball romance
🍋 found family
🍋 forced proximity
🍋 enemies to lovers & grumpy and sunshine

Going back to read book 4 now! Idk how I missed it considering I read so much omegaverse but better late than never 🤣 these are independent stand-alones that can be read out of order 🖤

Why Choose
Baseball Romance
Enemies(ish) to Lovers
Forced Proximity
Found Family
Curvy FMC

Love, love, love, LOVE this one! I could not stop myself from reading this in one sitting. The selflessness of our FMC, who is the embodiment of a curvy, educated, badass woman, to our handsome, sinfully charming yet cocky (in more ways then one) MMCs, I loved every single moment watching their love story unfold.

I loved our batshit crazy old lady neighbor and the rightful owner of the house, an orange cat! Plus the flawless connections with the other packs we all know and love.

The growth and development in everything—characters, plot, relationships—truly were done well and brought together everything beyond words!

I’m a sucker for an Ari Wright omegaverse and this one? No notes, Your Honour. Bee and her little gang of Alphas? Utter delights. I wanted to crawl inside the book and live in their weird, wonderful little pack dynamic forever.

If you’ve read Ari’s previous books, you already know this one will scratch all the same itches in the best possible way. If you haven’t? Babe, what are you doing? Start anywhere, but this one is a strong contender for “favourite child” status.

Soft moments, spicy tension, and the kind of found family chaos that fills your chest with fizzy warmth chef’s kiss.

Fave quotes

Leave it to me to fall in love with a woman while she’s choking on my cock.

But our omega is sad. And he wants me to burn the world to the ground. Chill, dude. We can just cuddle her. No arson necessary.

If I caught a fallen star in my arms, it wouldn’t be this precious. If I learned every secret of the universe in one blink, I couldn’t feel as complete. If someone saved my very life, I’m not sure I would be more grateful than I am right this moment.

Ari is the omegaverse queen, and she gave us another incredible story!
I love Bridget so much, probably because her anxieties so closely match my own. I just wanted to give her a giant hug.

I also loved the MMCs, each for their own reasons. Sure, they were idiots. They are men, they can’t help that.
But they got their shit together, and reading about their growth, and their love for Bridget, was so sweet.

This was a beautiful book to add to the Knot Her series!🧡🍋

This is probably going to get emotional but that’s okay!
Bridget is probably my favorite FMC by Ari and also my most relatable one from her.

This is everything you could want and then so, fake engagement/dating, scent match, groveling, steamy, and so amazing (plus so many amazing tropes)
Colt has my heart because I get his anger that he directs to everyone, but Bridget is my go to in this book!
Adrian is totally Daddy Alpha and I love that about him, and the way this pack forms and the complications and butting heads that happen from adding a pack alpha and then trying to prove the fake relationship isn’t fake!

Plus when everything comes out and it was always her all along it’s just so good! And so emotional!

I was lucky enough to ARC read this and I can’t wait to get a copy on my shelf!

DADDY DADDY. HELP ME. I —

adrian was the MF GLUE AND SHINING STAR.

i was skeptical of the pack at first due to how the book started, but they all won me over so hard 😭 i was so protective of bridget in the beginning i wanted to fight everyone for her 🤣

i love how she sassy she is 😭 and honestly im so shocked by how quickly a shortstop won me over 👀

her character shows how progress isn’t linear and while those around you can influence you, it’s ultimately up to you to love yourself and gain confidence 🥹

once again ari wright proves why she writes some of the best omegaverse, i was locked in the entire time i finished the book within less than 2 days 😭

I love Bridget.

"I let fear control my whole relationship with an essential part of myself."


I have never felt more represented by a female lead in a book ever. Bridget is plus size and would be good with herself, but she is constantly told otherwise. She is told to make herself smaller, being less instead of more. She is also fiercely independent out of necessity. I related so much to her inner thoughts and struggles. Being happy with your body and your life when it doesn't fit the standards of others is hard and brave.

The guys all had their quirks and messed up, but the grovel was on point. The sweet things they each did fit them so well, and I swooned at each one. The spice was spicing... Hot, had me blushing while reading in public.

This story had me laughing, had me reflecting, and at 80% had me in tears...

This book was received as an ARC, but the review is completely independent and reflects my genuine opinion.

All of my reviews for Ari Wright will probably start with she's done it again! I loved almost everything about her newest omegaverse story!

Bridget was the absolute sweetest and the things she had to endure hurt my heart. I wanted to reach through the pages and giver her a huge hug and then throttle someone on her behalf!

It was definitely tough to read about how she was treated by her Alphas, but I loved how Adrian came in with that Daddy energy and took control. They totally needed it!

I liked the little bits of mystery we had throughout the story, like what was up with her scent and the family drama was top notch!

I highly recommend the whole series and thought the newest release is the perfect addition!

DNF at 17%… eww, no - pack members sleeping with others after arranging a fake-engagement with the FMC; one or two coming across as an irresponsible manchild; one decrying how his days sleeping around will have to go on hold temporarily; they’re stuffing up all over the place; etc. Oh and what was supposed to be a bopo read is so far full of negativity. No thanks.

I received an ARC of “Knot her Catch” for an honest review.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Tropes include:
Sports romance
Omegaverse
Plus size FMC
Grumpy x sunshine
Forced proximity
Enemies to lovers
Groveling
Soft for her
Past trauma
Reformed playboy

Bridget is an oppressed omega who has always been made to believe her scent is so bad, so disgusting, coupled with her appearance being different and not with the high society norms, means she would never be bonded, never be cherished and never find her mates. When most would wilt away in to depression and give up, Bridget’s sunny and uplifting disposition brightens everyone around her. She always finds a way to splash some colour and make everything at least seem positive, even though she deeply believes she doesn’t deserve more.

Enter in the Locke Pack, who with their own story, their own messes come to Bridget’s sister with an offer. Bridget to be their fake-fiancée to save their public reputations and she can finally move out of her toxic family house.

After a year of distance and ignoring each other, another scandal hits and forces the new Messina Pack to move in with Bridget in her cramped, cute little bungalow along with their new Pack Alpha.

Forced to live together, chipping away at their armours and seeing through to who they really are, opens up a whole new world of hope and wonder. Bridget believing everything is still fake even through the intense grovelling! Once she accepts they are here to stay, she really does shine!

I loved seeing the character development for each character and how each alpha compliments Bridget in different ways.
A touch starved, bubbly burst of sunshine Bridget, a steadfast and dominant Adrian, a sensitive and observant Jesse, a passionate and fun loving Dante and the grumpy turned soft for her Colt.

I love how Adrian continues to reassure Bridget of her worth and beauty.
I loved seeing how all of the alphas continuously stand up for her, even when she doesn’t.

Chapter 60! It gutted me! Urgh it’s so hard to watch when all of someone’s worst case scenarios come to life… I do love a good omega bark though!

When everything makes sense, their pack is so perfect for each other! Seeing all the omega’s together from the previous books too! We are so spoilt!

A great addition to the Most Valuable Pack series!

Happy Reading

4/5 🌶️

Thank you to Hambright PR and Ari Wright for the ARC of this novel, although I was given an ARC this review and rating is solely based on my thoughts and opinions.

What this book has:
1. Strong FMC who’s an absolute joy
2. 4 men who are just so loveable in their own ways
3. A gorgeous amount of character growth
4. Lemon 🍋 🤤
5. Just some of the hottest scenes
6. Top tier banter and wit
7. A super sassy neighbour
8. NO THIRD ACT BREAKUP!!! (We love to see it)
9. Non violent “revenge” of sorts
10. A totally perfect HEA
Also characters from previous books making cameos

What this book doesn’t have:
1. More Munchies!

I could’ve read this one in 2 days but I honestly kept forcing myself to put it down because I knew the hangover was going to be bad. I fell in love with this book by chapter 3. I love a hot, strong, witty, fat mc & then to pair her with 3 himbos and an older “daddy” dom *mega swoon*

Bridget makes a deal with 3 alphas, who are a pack, to be their fake fiancé but play it off as real. Ever since she was younger her “perfume” has always been off putting, a sour and acrid smell/taste so she was told she would never be truly loved and accepted, what other choice does she have. When someone leaks to the press that it’s all a hoax the pack of, now 4, alphas have to find a way to trick the world into thinking they really are engaged. How best than to all move in together.

They have to try and stick it out for a few months until Bridget is supposed to go into heat and has requested the guys be gone. Can the 5 of them live together inside Bridget’s small house without getting a little too close?

Adrian is the eldest Alpha of the pack and also the manager for the guys baseball team. He’s always the best dressed and always the man with a plan.

Dante is the fiery hot and cheeky Alpha of the group. He loves arguing with Bridget and having a variety of late night snacks. 😉

Jesse is the timid and soft spoken Alpha with a very specific kink you won’t see coming. He’s know Bridget since high school and is always willing to lend a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on.

Colt is Mr. Broody Alpha, the one always ready to give a sigh or a groan and definitely an eye roll and snarky comment about one of his pack members or their actions around Bridget.

Together the 5 of them will make each other better not only singularly but also as a pack. This book will have you smiling, kicking your feet and fanning yourself a LOT!

Bridget has spent her whole life being made to feel less than. Born with an acidic and revolting scent, a family that is devastated by that as well as her body type, and does everything they can to "fix" her, she's accepted she'll never have a mate. When the opportunity to have a space of her own, the cover of being engaged to a pack, and being able to have the funds to support causes she cares about comes about, she jumps at the chance. Even if doing so means she needs to shove her omega far down inside her, to never give her the chance at hope for more.

*****

This was such a phenomenal novel. Seeing how Bridget viewed herself, as well as her constantly expecting everyone to treat her terribly and accepting it, broke something inside me. She was so headstrong and capable, while also being generous and loving, despite no one else showing her she deserved the same treatment. Having the pack come from a place where they also set out to dismiss and abandon her for over a year, and needing to work to gain back any form of trust was heart wrenching and beautiful.

Her hatred of her body, her scent, and everything that made her fundamentally her, and carrying that shame while still outwardly presenting herself as someone nonchalant who could handle anything was so perfectly done. Every time one of the members of the pack discovered another way she'd been mistreated, and her complete disbelief that she was worthy, and everything was for show, had my feelings gripped the whole time. I absolutely loved seeing the tide turn, and how they all came to cherish and uplift her.

I haven't read an Omegaverse in awhile and now I need to go back and read every one in this series because this one had me feeling so strongly, and devastated along with the leads, and it was everything I was looking forward to.

Thank you so much to Ari Wright & Hambright PR for an e-ARC of this book! I cherished every moment of this beautiful story.

My Thoughts:

I laughed (a lot). I cried. I could feel so much love, nurturing, teasing, growing, soul searching and more within this book. Maybe I just feel like Bridget is a kindred spirit with her mindset and struggles, so it felt relatable (even though it’s an omegaverse lol) but wow I loved every minute of this book! They all had to learn more about themselves, and grow as an individual before they could be perfect together as a pack (except maybe Adrian - that Alpha was born perfect).

There’s always so much humor and the perfect level of spice in Ari’s books, and this one was no different. Bridget’s neighbor and Dante had me laughing out loud constantly, as well as Bridget’s inner monologue about her omega. And the first group smex scene in this book is something I’m not sure I’ll ever forget. 🔥🥵

I 100% recommend this series if you’re new to the omegaverse trope and you enjoy why choose romances. I’m worried I won’t be able to find any other omegaverse books that hit the spot like these do!

General Info:

This is the 5th book in the Most Valuable Pack series, a sports centric omegaverse series. This is an interconnected standalone so you will have some crossover of characters from other books, so I do recommend reading these in order. Plus, you *NEED* to meet the other packs. Each one is perfection in its own way.

3.5/5 rounded to 4 for GR

Enjoyed this omegaverse book, it was an entertaining read.

I liked the dynamic of Bridget just fully not believing in herself due to her sh!tty family. Initially I didn’t like the pack guys at all - while I get maybe it was her deal with them to be left alone, they really treated her poorly and I wasn’t loving that for an omegaverse main pack. They do eventually grovel their heads off, especially when Adrian comes into the picture. Adrian is *it*. His sweet, strong assurances with her are *everything*, absolutely loved it - can I get an Adrian for me please? lol

This book was good overall but not my fave of the series. I was just missing a bit in the writing style itself, I usually absolutely adore Ari’s writing but this just didn’t hit the same voice her others do - I love when she writes with more emotive imagery and I didn’t get that much in this one. I also am not sure I really got to know and like the guys apart from Adrian so it just fell a bit flat for me. I would have liked them and their inner thoughts about her and the situation more fleshed out, especially given how they treated her initially.

As always, though, I liked how much devotion and care they do eventually bring around and how she grows to trust herself and be proud of herself and let her omega free.

Overall, loved Bridget, loved Adrian, and enjoyed the read.

Bridget’s book is here! I am a huge of omegaverse books and have been loving this series so much! This book is so funny and emotional and was an absolute joy to read!

Bridget finds herself in a fake engagement situation and when it goes viral her alphas move in…how bad could it be? Oh and yeah, they don’t particularly like each other…or do they???

I loved Bridget so much! She is feisty and snarky and has the most beautiful heart.
She had putting everyone else first for so long I loved it when her walls finally fell and she had someone to take care of her for a change.

“Damn it. I think I have a crush on my fake Daddy-Boss-Alpha.”

Adrian was perfect as pack leader. He was broody and charming and really took charge. The other three had some groveling to do!! Jesse was an absolute sweetheart. Oh Dante - The kitchen scene…yeah 🔥. Then we have Colt…he had been hurt and was struggling…but underneath that alphahole exterior just might be a super secret teddy bear.
