Knotting the Frost Princess

The Knottiverse: Holiday Alphas #2

by V.T. Bonds

A princess on the run, a deadly warrior seeking escaped omegas, and a lumberjack on the path of revenge…

Desperate to save her sick sister, Yukiko treks into town for medicine, only to be cornered by a flock of angel mercenaries. Rescued by a giant lumberjack alpha, she’s anything but safe when he pushes her into the local store and shuts the door behind her with a warning not to look back.

Father Frost's most lethal warrior stands at the counter, and nothing will stop him from taking her back to The Knottiverse.

Except, Yukiko is no ordinary omega, and winter solstice has come.

She's going into heat.

When the lumberjack's revenge backfires and the angels snatch her out from under their noses, can the two opposing alphas work together to save their omega?

A typical Omegaverse with all the steam. Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it.

[addictedtodarkromance · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yukiko is a princess on the run from the horrible Tyrant, Father Frost, from The Knottiverse. Kassius (a lethal warrior) is on the hunt for missing Omegas to bring them back as they escaped, and Bruin, a lumberjack, is out for revenge.

Plans start to change, and the guys become super protective of her and don't want her to leave their sides. Yukiko is an Omega who needs an Alpha, as the Summer solstice is here, and she's going into heat. The chemistry between the three is strong, and the steamy scenes are intense!!

Once they've decided she theirs they need to make sure she's safe at all costs.

This was a short read, but it had a lot of action, romance and suspense!

Another inspired read, two Alpha’s unexpectedly come together to save their mate from hunters
Yukiko is running from Father Frost; he has been hunting her and her sisters after they had been able to escape his incarceration and had made a break for freedom knowing they could easily be killed for daring to cross him.
Dressed as a man with her scent hidden, she travels through the woods using her magic to gather leaves and berries he can sell to raise money for her youngest sister who is critically ill, the risk being in the open is dangerous and when she had been attacked a lumberjack had come to her aid even though he had known what she was.
Unfortunately, the shop where she had been hidden has a warrior in it and he instantly seems to recognise that she was not a boy but that she was in fact a female and knows that it is essential that she get away but he captures her prior to her being able to escape.
As Kassius captures the young woman and then begins to transport her to the small shack he intends to do whatever is necessary to get his prisoner to talk so that he can get his prisoner back to Father Frost, three years he has been forced away and he wanted to return to his homeland.
When he scents her and realises that she is in fact more important that he first thought he is once again cornered by Bruin the lumberjack that saved her he realises that he also realises she is an Omega and she is coming into her time, she needs to mate and her body is telling her that she needs both men.
As the men begin to fight with each other they are taken prisoner by another and he has a group of fallen angels at his side and the fact she is going in to her time will put her into even more danger as every male will want her and will most likely kill to mate her.
Neither Bruin or Kassius will let them hold her they will fight to have her safe once again in their arms their little Nymph or Sprite and they know they must have her back in their care. The fight against the fallen angels is highly dangerous and the strongest Merodach is determined to kill if necessary to achieve his goal.
I will not spoil the story, I can however guarantee that once you begin reading you will not be able to put this book down until you read the end and discover the outcome for the three unlikely characters.
A simply wonderful read and I guarantee that you will be as captivated by this story as I have,
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

Yukiko and her omega sisters have escaped the chilling clutches of Father Frost and the eerie dominion of the Knottiverse, only to find themselves hiding in the human world, hunted by one of Father Frost’s deadliest warriors: the ruthless, relentless Kassius. Though all are prized as omegas, it’s Yukiko’s buried elemental power that makes her the ultimate prize—and the reason Father Frost has already claimed her as his future queen. When one of her sisters falls gravely ill, Yukiko is forced to venture into a nearby trading post for medicine, where things take a dark turn. Ambushed by a gang of not-so-heavenly angel mercenaries (seriously, they give fallen angels a bad name), Yukiko is rescued at the last minute by an unexpected hero. Bruin is a gruff, broody lumberjack with a deadly angel-blade axe and the DNA of a fallen angel and bear shifter (though he doesn’t shift). If that doesn't scream "book boyfriend," I don’t know what does. But fate isn't done with Yukiko. Her dramatic rescue inadvertently puts her squarely in the sights of Kassius, who’s spent the last three years in the human realm sharpening his hatred and his hunger. And no, he’s not here for as little chat. He can’t wait to “persuade” Yukiko to reveal the location of the other omegas and Yukiko’s chances of keeping her sisters hidden are dwindling. Without giving too much away, let’s just say things get intense. Yukiko finds herself caught in a tug-of-war between two dangerously dominant alphas—both determined to claim her and both haunted by their own dark pasts. But, they’re not the only players in the ring and no one is playing nice. And if you’re wondering why she doesn’t just blast everyone to kingdom come with her powers, the story reveals why she’s held back—and why she thinks unleashing that force comes with a devastating cost. The dystopia-meets-paranormal vibe of this world is strange and gritty. The tension between Kassius and Bruin is deliciously primal, with their growly rivalry adding a sharp edge to every scene. But what truly stood out for me was Yukiko’s transformation. Watching her evolve from a frightened fugitive into a woman who embraces her power and her identity—finding strength in herself and in her bond with her two alphas—was incredibly satisfying. Dark, sexy, and packed with action, this story delivers everything I love in an Omegaverse romance—with a heroine who earns her crown in fire and frost.

She ran from power. They dragged it out of her. Now they all burn.

Yukiko (h) has survived by hiding what she is: an omega, a fugitive, and the last thing Father Frost ever wants free. Disguised and alone, she scrapes by in a remote mountain town until a violent encounter with local alphas draws the wrong kind of attention. One brutal alpha saves her. Another one hunts her. Neither plans to let her go.

Kassius (H) was sent to bring her back. Bruin (H) just wanted to be left alone. But when Yukiko sacrifices herself to protect others, both men find themselves caught in something deeper than duty or instinct. She is not just another omega. She is the storm. And when her powers spiral out of control, they are the only ones left standing between her and complete destruction.

Forced to work together, enemies turn reluctant allies. Alphas who once fought over blood and pride now fight to save her from the ones who destroyed her past. It’s about surrender, bond, and what comes after.

Yukiko evolves from a terrified fugitive hiding her identity and powers to a self-sacrificing and emotionally resilient omega who fully embraces her strength. Kassius begins as a loyal enforcer, driven by duty and obsession, but becomes a protective, emotionally vulnerable mate. Bruin starts as a revenge-driven alpha and learns to open his heart and accept connection.

The relationship dynamic shifts from mistrust and conflict to deep, soul-bonded intimacy. Their connection is forged through survival, tested by dominance, and sealed by mutual need and devotion. It's not a soft love story. It’s frostbite, blood, teeth, and desire.

A steamy, enemies to lovers, fated mates, omegaverse, paranormal romance with dark fantasy elements, exploring love, identity, power, control, trust, trauma, healing, found family, and sacrifice. She found power in surrender. They found purpose in her.

This is a super short story at only 96 pages. It you’re looking for Alpha Omega vibes with an epic battle and full on knottyness this story has it.

VT Bonds has a way with bringing out the naughty you didn’t know you needed in only a few short pages. This could be a full blown book if the author wanted to create it. So much could be expanded but I do love a quick, filthy read.

This is the story of the chosen Omega Yukiko and her two Alpha mates Bruin the lumberjack and Kassius the warrior.

Bruin is on a mission to kill the fallen angel who killed his parents but a little Omega captures his attention and his heart.

Kassius is a warrior from the Winter realm sent to collect and bring back Omegas to Father Frost but after capturing Yukiko he can’t bring himself to let her go.

The males struggle to work together to save Yukiko as well as come to the realization that she needs them both.

VT Bonds has a way with words that draw you into the story and make you wish you were there along side the characters.

I highly recommend anything written by her as she fullfills all your dirty desires in ways you didn’t know you needed.

an excellent fast paced story about Yukiko a special omega that escaped the winter land with some of her omega sisters to get away from their cruel master. she has special powers and is willing to do whatever it takes never to go back so is living in hiding. Bruin is an honourable lumberjack alpha taking revenge on fallen angels for the death of his parents and just wants to be left alone. Kassius a winter warrior trying to find the missing omegas and return them to winter because he's been stuck in the human realm for 3 yrs. he doesn't care what it takes to get back. Yukiko is captured but brings the power inside her, escapes, gets help from bruin then kidnapped again by fallen angels. everyone mistrusts each other but with her heat fast approaching they reluctantly agree to work together to save Yukiko and rescue her. but can they without killing each other. Once that is done both alpha's realize they can't give her up so what to do and yukikos heat is starting. There is a lot of action in this book culminating in an exciting ending where things work out quite differently then how they begin. lots of plot twists and even changed alpha behaviour.

Dressed as a young boy, Yukiko goes out to get medicine for her sick sister. An Omega's not safe in her world and hunters are everywhere. When she's attacked by four alphas in the woods, suddenly, the biggest axe carrying alpha she's ever seen comes to her rescue. But is it really a rescue? Whatever, she's taking her chances with him.
Bruin's not fooled by her disguise but saves as well as escorts her to the trading post. He goes back to teach the ones that grabbed her a lesson. All the while thinking of her and how she would never survive in his world. He's a fallen ones's offspring. A warrior, an assassin.
Kassius sees her as soon as she comes through the trading post door. He's an omega hunter. He knows that she's the one that escaped from Father Frost with others of her kind. For three years he's looked for her, unable to return until she's found. He will enjoy torturing her to find out where the others are hiding.
Running from him, she sees the lumberjack alphas truck and runs to find him, begging for his help.
If I told you what happens next, you wouldn't believe it. But believe this. It's action, horror, passion, rage, traps, gore, avenging angels and revenge all wrapped in one.

Knotting the Frost Princess is suspenseful and definitely a page turning dark paranormal romance story. The characters are well developed and beautifully executed throughout the book. The main characters of this fantastic dark paranormal romance are Yukiko, Kassius and Bruin. The chemistry between these characters is off the charts hot and undeniably irresistible. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know both Bruin, Kassius and Yukiko as well as witnessing their story unfolding through the pages of this amazing dark paranormal romance. I absolutely hope we get to see Bruin, Kassius and Yukiko in another book to see where their story will go next. Knotting the Frost Princess is amazingly written, exceptionally balanced and beautifully executed by V.T. Bonds. This author continues to take me by surprise with their amazing storytelling and writing skills in each book I’ve read by them thus far. I would absolutely give this book as a recommendation for anyone to checkout and give it a read. I would warn future readers that this book does contain explicit mature content throughout the story. I’m looking forward to reading more fantastic romances from this author in the future.

I didn’t read the first book but it isn’t needed to enjoy this story. We get enough background to understand what is going on with the main characters of the story. This is a quick paced story focused mostly on how the three meet and get together.
Yukiko has been in hiding for three years. She’s loyal, resilient, and so full of guilt. She ends up running into Bruin and then Kassius through circumstances beyond her control. Bruin ends up protecting her and Kassius wants to take her back to the Knottiverse that she ran from. Kassius is so determined to take her back. He is not gentle but is very much pulled toward Yukiko. Bruin keeps saving her but is so convinced that he isn’t good for her and very set on his path to avenge his parents.
I loved how these two very alpha males were very much determined to work together to save Yukiko. They learned to trust one another and so the three together were explosive. So good. Very steamy. Loved the story and them.

I did receive an ARC and this is my honest opinion.

Baby it’s cold out there!

This is an icy tale about two opposing warriors coming together to rescue their omega. Yukiko has escaped with her other omega sisters from the Knottiverse and Father Frost's omega harem. One of her sisters falls ill and needs medicine from the human town. Yukiko has a power that will chill you to the bone. She uses it to grow plants to trade the medicine. Yukiko has no plans on telling anyone where her sisters are no matter who they are or what they are. The omegas are being track down by some of the greatest winter warriors, including Kassius. Bruin, an alpha, is out for vengeance for the murder of his family. He has rescued Yukiko once before from these warriors. While neither Kassius not Bruin realizes that Yukiko is gone. Now his dreaded enemy has her. Can the two enemy warriors work together to save her from Father Frost? The book is a good read.

'But instincts demand he’s safe.
It’s stupid, but my defenses drop and tears of relief fill my eyes. My chest tightens and it becomes more difficult to breathe.
“Help me. Please,” I beg.
He lifts his arm and studies the cuffs on my wrists. Murder shines in his green eyes as he notices my swollen, bruised flesh.
“Who did this? Who hurt you?”'

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun, fast-paced quick read. Good world building and wonderful characters. I loved Yukiko, Bruin, and Kassius. Yukiko is brave, determined, and loyal. But the world is dangerous for omegas. Bruin saved her. Kassius needs to return her to an alpha she'd rather die than return to. Both both males' instincts soon want to claim and protect her themselves, but her heat is quickly approaching. How would everything turn out? 4 stars.

[Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yukiko just wants to live a free life, not to be locked away in a cage. Having escaped with her Omega sisters, she'll do whatever she needs to keep all of them safe and alive. However, she doesn't expect to run into the one Alpha, Kassius, who will most likely recognize who she really is, nor does she expect any kindness or help from a lumberjack Alpha, Bruin, but she gets it anyways. The tug-of-war begins between Kassius and Bruin, but if they aren't careful, they'll both lose Yukiko to Father Frost.

A quick knotty read with a brave Omega and two determined Alphas who'll do whatever they need to keep the Omega for themselves. Luckily for our Omega, the Alphas decide it's better to work together to get what they both want. Hits all the right spots.

Yukiko a Princess, is in town to buy medicine. Her sister is ill, and may die. She is cornered by angel mercenaries. She is dressed as a boy, to avoid attention. A lumberjack Alpha helps her. Kassius corners her, and captures her. He plans to return her to Father Frost. Several Omegas escaped hie harem. She begins to go into heat. Bruin, and Kassius rescue her from the angel mercenaries. Together they help her, during her heat. Will these enemies become a trio? The storyline flowed well. The story has twists, and turns. The characters were realistic. There is action, death, crime, love, and passion. I enjoyed reading this book!!!!.

I enjoyed meeting Yukiko and her men. The three find their lives intertwining in a way that none of them ever imagined. When a common enemy comes for them all three must make the hard choice of either following their hearts or letting everything slip away.
I liked that Yukiko is a strong woman and is ready to fight for what she wants. Kassius and Bruin may come from different lives but they are both ready to fight for Yukiko and it was interesting to see how each of the men’s relationship with her and each other came to be. The three are hot and worked well together. Their story moves at a good pace and had me engaged all the way to the end.

Omega On The Run
A very short novella about an omega princess, escaped from the Winter King and having been hiding for several years, running into one of his warriors who initially wants to take her back to Jack Frost. But getting her pheromones decides he wants her for himself. A big lumberjack has the same intentions and they fight each other for her. And having another running off with her.
A story full of action: fighting and steamy scenes, all the good things one can find in V.T. Bonds’ books. Loved it, even if it could have been a longer read in my opinion <3

This story is triple POV, well written, and darker, fast-paced, ménage a trois, omegaverse romance. I enjoyed the resilience of female omega lead, Yukiko, and the work she’d put into escaping captivity (and remaining free). I enjoyed the focus of one male alpha lead, Bruin. I appreciated his compassion contrasted with his intimate unyielding. I enjoyed the frustration which morphed into possessiveness and unwanted care from Kassius, the second male alpha lead. I enjoyed the erotic intimacy necessary to both establish their permanent relationship and to celebrate their victory over their adversaries.

It’s in this kind of story where the author brings the magic! The author has a distinct flair for creating some of the very best fantasy and romance. It wasn’t hard to see each character and every scene as if it were a film. One could see the snow and ice everywhere.

The characters Yukiko, Bruin, and Kassius are wonderful. The reader gets two truly dominant men and a very fun female omega. I especially loved Yukiko. She not only gives Bruin and Kassius the run around. She’s irrepressible. It would be great to get a sequel to this book. Interesting characters and an exceptional environment.

Sexy.
I love the elemental magic and power of the omega Princess Yukiko originally to be Father Frost Queen of Winter, escapes with 7 other omegas. Kassius, Father Frost most lethal warrior and exiled to find the escaped omegas. Bruin, lumberjack who is half bear-shifter and Fallen Angel, son of Azariel. I love how Bruin is gentle and caring to Yukiko and the fact that he smells of sandalwood and vanilla really had my senses really. I like there are scents associated with these characters. Very sexy and I love reading these omega-alpha knottiverse genres.

CELEBRATING THE WINTER SOLSTICE

An Omega on the run is about to collide with two Alphas with their own agendas. On the eve of the Winter Solstice these three characters are going to push each other's last nerve. This is a short, fast paced novella that built on the Knottiverse world from Book 1. These are standalone books and do not need to be read in order but I did. I did find the Alphas to be similar in nature to the Alphas in Book 1 but the female character had more spunk in this book. A quick easy read with good writing, enjoyable characters and a good if not a little predictable storyline.

Princess Yukiko and her sisters have been on the run and hiding for the last three years from Father Frost. When she goes to do some trading to get medicine and other supplies to help one of her six sisters, she's attacked by four fallen angels but rescued by a lumberjack alpha. Unbeknownst to him, when he pushes her into the shop, he sends her right into the pathway of a lethal warrior of Father Frost. But if the lumberjack and the warrior end up losing her, they have to work together to fight to get her back. Then work together to claim her.

This is a very unique read. It says the books are stand alone but maybe reading book 1 would help understand the world and little more. She is an escaped Omaga with frost powers. The lumberjack just happens upon her and helps her. Little does he know this act will change his fate. The Warrior has been hunting her for 3 years. He only knows a name not what she looks like.
There is no romance here more just fantasy. Once her Omaga knew they were her alphas then there was want and need. There was a lot of fighting with details as well.
It was a nice short read.

Bruin and Kassius are two different kinds of alphas. At first they're in opposition as they fight for the dominance to take or protect Yukiko. Once Yukiko is kidnapped they end up working together to defeat a common enemy as they claim Yukiko belongs to them. This novella has action, passion, heats, and knots to go around twice. The chemistry between Yukiko and her alphas is intense to say the least. Each alpha is fierce but also hold tenderness that will have readers swooning. A fantastic addition to the series.

This is a fun, steamy, MFM, seasonal quick read. V.T. always delivers with her knottiverse alphas and their omegas in need of a knot. And lucky for Yukiko she has double the Alpha to deal with in Bruin (lumberjack) and Kassius (warrior).

I loved the growly competitiveness between the alphas until they are forced to rescue their kidnapped omega and they are united in their need to protect. The three find a good rhythm together and I loved how they made their bond work.

A very enjoyable super spicy novella.

“Are those juniper berries?”

When Bonds says dark and spicy in the title, well, you already know it’s an understatement!! How this author switches gears between dark mafia and paranormal romance is beyond me, but keep it up. Cause I’m here for all of it! This book is a short and steamy why choose that I couldn’t get enough of. It may be short but it has a plot to go with the steam also. Yukiko is a superb character, as well as Bruin and Kassius. Those two are freaking delicious 🤤!.

Vicious and Visceral
Yukiko, one of the escaped omegas, just wants to get medicine to her sister. Bumping into angels, being rescued by an alpha lumberjack and having to run from a warrior alpha was not part of her plans. But Bruin and Kassius have plans of their own… This story has bad guys, a bad guy gone good and a murderous yet reluctant good guy, so no one fits neatly in a box, which I found made for an interesting read. It’s short and fast paced, with more fighting than fun. A solid read.

Yukiko and other omegas escaped The Knotiverse and the cruelty of father Frost ,but in need of suplies and medicines Yukiko takes her chance to try to barter.

Yukiko is on resilient and brave FMC. She is only trying to help her sick sister, after fleeing Father Frost. She then runs into Bruin and Kassius. Thats when her destiny and theirs forever changes.
The spice and dirty talk was delicious. The banter between both MMC was fun.

I like how Father Frost is an evil dude in this lore. Yukiko has escaped along with her sisters and is on the run. Unfortunately for her things are about to get messy. There are angel mercenaries, an angry warrior (Kassius), a lumberjack set on revenge (Bruin) and an oncoming heat. It's pretty entertaining and I like that both Kassius and Bruin don't magically get along and realign their goals. There is some actual relationship work and discussions needed.

[Trixie · Rating 4 out of 5]

First of all, I loved the cover and the title. The Knottiverse is a different world from what I know. The alphas claimed the omega because she is coming into heat and not because they fell in love with her, well they never did say that they loved each other. They craved and cared for her because she was their omega.
