Look, this was good, smutty fun. But the end left so many gaping plot holes. Like… how was it all connected? How did her dad and Tate’s dad come to this agreement? How was Paul/Rich involved? Why was she kidnapped if she was already on her way to L.A. with Tate? Why did Tate’s dad say he absolutely couldn’t marry Belle when that was the plan all along? Why couldn’t Angel and Beckett attend the ceremony? Why was her dad so pissed she was with them when he planned to marry her to them anyway?

It was fun while I was reading it, but the end was so abrupt and nothing was answered or solved. Weird.

Even though there was a bit of a dark undertone in the back overall I found it to be very sweet.

The fmc, Belle, was super sweet. She didn't have the perfect family/home life, she definitely went through a lot. Even though she did she still didn't let it change her and didn't let her stop her from dreaming.

The guys were instantly obsessed with her. They all had completely different personalities but they were the perfect pack. The more time they spent with her the more they started falling for her.

She had good chemistry with them. I liked how from the beginning they always took care of her and made sure she was comfortable. I really liked them together.

There was other stuff going on in the background that kept me entertained. I did guess what was gonna happen but that didn't take away from me enjoying the book. It honestly just made me happy cause it was exactly what I wanted to happen. We also get introduced to a couple of people that I can't wait to read their books!!!

this was a great debut omegaverse & i really enjoyed it! while the plot started out seeming like a traditional new adult omegaverse, which i still love very much, there were a couple plot twists that were rather unique to me & i enjoyed that main twist at the end! i was hoping it would go in that direction! really great!

Great!

I don’t normally enjoy omega verse books but this was great! I hate how her family treated her so terribly. I love how the guys were taken by her when they saw her at the airport. I love that they connected and stayed together and ended up forming a relationship. I love that they offered to drive her to her home even knowing it was a 4 days trip. I loved how fate worked and they were brought together by the fathers anyways.

Things just go really over the top in a wtf is happening way, and my eyebrows just stayed in my hairline past 75% TBH

Random psycho sister who was introduced like 3 pages ago appearing and flipping the wedding cake table and trying to stab the bride. The first stabbing they were just like… Sorry she’s just crusty crazy like that lmao


So MMC cannot remove the veil that hides his bride’s identity until he knots her for consummation- because that’s an important thing that is suddenly mentioned- and it’s also on the living room couch lol. Couchummation idk

He hears her crying and thinks “Did this Total Stranger I Have Not Heard Speak even consent to this marriage that suddenly happened to us..? Psht of course she must have my father would never trick me twice in the same day” (paraphrasing)

He is so confident even as his father has now lured, lied, and all but forced him into marrying a complete stranger on the spot. ☠️

Then psycho sister spawns back in with a BIGGER KNIFE and stabs MMC’s shoulder while he’s still knot deep in his new bride ON THE COUCH

And NOW the MMCs dad is mad and says something like “SHE SHAN’T get away with this my son. We have ties to the MAFIA!”

Okay but if you just had ZIP TIES we could have still avoided second stabbing

Dude is fine tho. Realized mystery Bride is… THE FMC!!!! And they go have a heat orgy.

——
There were plot holes before that but this was so random I just?? ?? ?!?!

One Knotty Road Trip

OMG!!! I have absolutely no words after finishing this book except Give Me More!!! I was hooked halfway through the first chapter, and 2 hours later, I was at the end. Screaming, crying, and begging there was one more chapter. Anything to give me more into this new world that Megan Verse created.

I absolutely loved Belle. She is fierce and shy and completely loveable all at the same time. Growing up with a family who resented her, she learned to take care of herself and not trust anyone or expect anything from them.

Tate, Angel, and Beck are 2 cousins and a best friend since childhood. They never wanted an omega. They are completely fine being a pack of just alphas. I loved them. They are hard-headed to an extreme, but once their hearts thaw, they are everything an omega need.

What happens when they literally bump into each other? What happens on a road trip home? When the lies are fully exposed, who is going to be there? The ending is wild and something I didn't see coming at all. This ended with HFN and leads us with information to go into the next book. I can't wait to see Belle and the boys again and to find out what happens with Stetson, Pierce, and the new stepsiter!!

What in the twisted mess?

This book has a decent base premise - girl meets guys in airport and drives with them when they can't get a flight. Beyond that everything is off the rails. Like is the author ok because this is twisted and crazy off the rails.

The FMC is terribly written. She is an idiot from page one and I hate her. There is zero universe building and what we are shown (the wedding ceremony) is just sick. The guys waffle between ok and totally useless bordering on garbage. None of the very few side characters are at all good. Yeah Kenny boy, I'm looking at your useless ass and judging hard! The one person with all the info in his hands and he couldn't be bothered to make things better. The plot threads are a mess. I'm pretty sure the author just had a goal of being as extreme as possible without actually planning it all out, fleshing anything beyond the violence out, or actually resolving the main antagonist, because let's all face it, cancer isn't a free pass to forgive all this. What antagonist resolution we do see is minimal at best and leaves me more baffled as to the state of society.

A Knotty Road Trip by Megan Verse.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶🌶🌶💀💀💀
A perfect smutty omegaverse novella.
Belle and Knotty Trip gets stranded at the airport because of a snow storm. Beckett realised she's his scent match and probably Angel and Tates too, his pack. However they all have scent blockers and aren't aware of what's happening. The draw and need pulls them together and things get heated.
Suspense and intrigue driven plot filled with knots and hearts. Wonderfully fun read and I look forward to the other characters getting their own stories too.
Tropes
Alpha. Omega. Knots. Scentmatches. Mating. Arranged matings/marriage. Heats. Non con. MM. MMFM.
Quotes
“He doesn’t like me much. I know I can be a lot at times, but I promise I’m nice. I was raised in a shitty family, but their evil didn’t stain me.”

“I would take a million stäb wòunds if it kept you safe, baby,” I mutter and then groan.

This was such an adorable omegaverse story! Watching the connection between the fmc and her three men blossom was really cute, and I especially loved how protective they were over her. It’s not just the fmc who has a hard time trusting the love that grows between them; they all have some past (and present) hurts preventing them from going all in. But a little forced proximity can help a long way.

I have to say Angel is probably my favorite. He’s the silent force in the relationship with Belle, the one who’s there for her without ever being forceful. Where the others have their doubts at times, he believes in Belle, and I really loved that. There were times where I felt like certain parts in the story could have used a bit more explaining, but since it’s such a short story I understand the choices that were made.

Overall, this was a nice contemporary omegaverse, and definitely worth the read.

A Perfect Storm

Trying to get from NY to CA during a blizzard turns into an unexpected trip with unexpected people.

First we have the Omega who hates her family and is only going home because she has absolutely no choice. However, with flights grounded she is forced to find another way home.

The men of Naughty Trip are heading home as Tate's father is demanding he find an Omega and settle down. He doesn't want an Omega. His pack of Alphas made up of his lover and his best friend/cousin are enough. Well until they bump into an Omega that might just change their life.

With everyone keeping secrets what will happen as they all race to CA for demanding family members. 

I absolutely adore these Alpha's and the story was engaging. We got information in a timely manner and I was pleased with the way everything happened. I absolutely have questions though because there are definitely things still unknown. I'm sure we will find out more in future books.

Why does everyone always get their exciting, spicy stories when in an airport? And I'm just uncomfortable and annoyed with strangers 🤣🤣🤣

I rather enjoyed this OV, Christmas novella. It was a lot more suspenseful than I expected - being Christmasy and all. I was able to figure out a few things along the way, but not everything. There were even some parts that I thought I had figured out, only to be surprised and knocked on my butt a little 🤯.

I enjoyed the dynamic of this pack 🥵. Angel, Tate, Beckett, and Belle were definitely made for each other, but the ones who stole the show with their quiet moments were Tate and Beckett 🫠🫠.

Now that ending.. I'm absolutely wanting to know what happens next and who is Kinsley? I need more information and more of this world!

I really enjoyed this omegaverse and the plot of meeting in an airport during Christmastime was great. I loved Tate, Beckett, and Angel, although Beckett might be my favorite! Belle is a great FMC but my heart broke for her because she has not had an easy life and is lacking support from the people that should always be there for her.

There are a few twists in this book that I loved and they had me cheering for these characters so much. I will say that this novella has me excited for what's next because I need more of these characters and I need some answers for a few things that are left unanswered at the end. This book did a few dark elements but I would not classify this as a dark omegaverse.

MMFM
Omegaverse
Arranged Marriage
Rockstar Romance
Scent Matches

Megan Verse is Amber Nicole’s pen name for Omegaverse.
Belle is an omega and leaves Knottingshire Academy. She is heading to the airport to go back home to her family to LA for the holidays. She gets to the airport and meets 3 alphas - Pack Baron - Angel, Tate & Beckett. They form a band called Knotty Trip.
Beckett realises Belle is his scent match but the others don’t realise this as they have scent blockers including Belle.
Due to the bad snowy weather the flight has been cancelled. They all end up staying in the airport hotel and the heat between these characters get more heated and more exciting.
Really fun and enjoyable read. I can’t wait to read more from these characters.

When I heard one of my favourite authors was turning her hand to my favourite genre at present (OV) I was cautiously hoping that the product would be a guaranteed re-read and I’m pleased to confirm I was correct!

It is hard to believe that this is amber’s first adventure in to the omegaverse given she perfectly blended the “traditional” tropes with her own special penchant for plot twists and suspense, leaving you on a bit of a cliffy as always.

The pack was perfectly formulated with each explored enough to draw you in and leave you wanting more. As should be the case with an omegaverse, you leave being jealous of Belle but in true Amber style also feeling sorry for her.

Looking forward to hopefully many more OV reads from Amber.

Short and Sweet OV

"A Knotty Road Trip" is a fun holiday reverse harem Omegaverse rockstar romance, with excellent spice and well crafted characters. I really enjoyed all the main characters and seeing how they came together as a group. I would have happily read a much longer version of this novella, I would have enjoyed reading more about Belle's family members, expanded on the academy tropes, explored the Mafia connections, and seen more of their happily ever after. Hopefully we will get more in the sequels; excited to see where Megan Verse takes future books in the Knottingshire Academy.

This was a great read. Short, steamy and set around the holidays, so the perfect holiday Omegaverse read.

The book was well written, and the characters were well developed in this short story. Angel, Tate and Beckett were an interesting trio of alphas, and Belle was the sweetest omega. Lots of family drama on both sides of the equation to give this book lots of drama to resolve.

I have so many questions about some of the side characters, and am really looking forward to see how the author develops this new Omegaverse series. I absolutely enjoyed this story!

This was the first book published by Megan Verse. It was about alphas and an omega. Belle was the female character. She was in college in Connecticut and her father ordered her home to LA but didn’t tell her why. Her family basically dismissed her because she was an omega. She was traveling back to LA and due to the storm her flight was delayed and ultimately cancelled. She met Beck, Tate and Angel at the airport. This was great. I can’t wait to read more from her. I loved how this all played out

Growing up in a cruel family has not affected how sweet and good Belle is. I find it appalling how awful people can be to their kids. Even the members of the pack have had their share of bad. But a chance meeting in an airport - lives can turn around.
Megan is an amazing storyteller that twists her readers emotions into a frenzy. Trying to figure out what will happen next, who the bad ones are, the connections, and the secrets all kept me from putting this book down. Great characters that you will want to get closer to and the fan your face steam all help make this a great read.

Deliciously Spicy New OV!

This is Megan Verse’s first OV novella and it didn’t disappoint!
Stranded rockstars, jaded omega, secret scents matches and a long limo ride? What more can you ask for with the potential shenanigans. Also, a novella! My favorite!
I love stories where you see so much growth with the characters and of course so much SPICE! Exhibitionism…check. Heat…check. FMC who should kick their alpha behinds…check.
I can’t wait to read more of this OV in the future.

Note to self to never read this: 
One of the MMCs, despite knowing the FMC is his scent match and having spent the whole book with her and the other alphas, agrees to marry a stranger bc his daddy says he can't marry the FMC...then he proceeds to fck the stranger not knowing who she is bc he agreed not to remove her veil until he knots her. Mind you, he knows and has been with his scent match/the FMC up until this point. The woman ends up being the FMC but HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT and is completely fine marrying and fcking someone else.

Hot Omegaverse novella

With a new pen name, author Amber Nicole has written a great debut omegaverse story. Combining rockstar romance with being snowed in this book had me hooked start to finish. The characters are wonderful. Belle is a strong FMC and her guys are super hot. I especially loved Beckett. There is plenty of steam to warm up this holiday story and a few twists. I can't wait for more stories set in this world.

This was a quick fun holiday omegaverse. It’s a great debut read and left questions for the world, but there story is finished. I loved how they literally bump into each other in the air port while waiting for the same flight. The guys are great in protecting Belle from unwanted attention in the airport and helping her with a room to stay when their flight is cancelled. Highly recommend this book and can’t wait to see what’s next for this world!

If you love RH, Omegas,and Alphas (among others) this is the book for you!

It's a cute little read and easy to get lost in.

A Knotty Road Trip was my first Omegaverse read. I LOVED all 4 main characters in this book. I may have to go down the Omegaverse rabbit hole now and possibly this authors entire catalog of books. I fell quickly in love with Beckett, Tate, and Angel. I could see where the plot was going so I'd say the foreshadowing was on point.

Needed more

Good story, but it felt kinda rushed. To me, the leap from strangers to intimate touch was kinda fast. The fathers and that whole shady goings on were kind of confusing, too. Honestly, i would have loved to see this book 100 pages longer with more detail into this omegavers. Why was she so accepting of the abuse? Wh6 waa she so abused in the first place? It was kind of cool to see all the plot twists. All things you never would have guessed happen.

Must read!

I loved this book! I loved the alphas and even when frustrated with them, I understood their thoughts and actions. I do wish we had gotten a little more closure about Rich, like what happened and the why of his actions, but it’s just my opinion on it.

Belle is the sweetest Omega ever! I adored her from the beginning. The Aplhas were just *chef’s kiss* strong and sexy and musically talented. I can’t wait to read the other books in this series.

what was that ending…

what was the end…… it was going great then it was like the author said I’m done with this and made the characters do life changing things that did not match their established personalities.

Pardon me while I go stalk out my local airport for some hot AF rockstar Alphas.

This is the debut book for a pen name. But if you know Amber Nicole, you know she's no stranger to writing some hot AF guys that slightly broken. And when you have an alpha with some trauma that meets his scent match but she doesn’t know, well it makes for some heavy inner monologue. I honestly devoured the ish out of this book and I really cannot wait for more books from this world. I absolutely love love this!!

Belle is such a sweet character! I love how thoughtful she is of everyone she meets. The guys are all yummy and their personalities complement each other. I wish we had a little more of what was dished out to Belle’s father and sister. And the ex?! Omg that was a little twist I didn’t see coming.
