An off limits pack, and a virgin Omega that finds them irresistible. What could go wrong?
Harlow has a big problem… She's been lusting after her rival’s male Omega MATE, Quinton, and his best friend, Lachlan, for years! What will happen when the pack lead, who happens to be her lift long rival, Alpha Caelum, bids on Harlow for a Valentine's Day date? And how will Harlow handle being tricked into moving in with these three men the next day? To make matters worse, Harlow’s been avoiding them since high school because she finds each of their scents intoxicating. Can she make it through the month, keeping her hands to herself? Or will she fall right into their waiting arms? Because these men know something Harlow doesn’t…she’s meant to be theirs.
Omegaverse, MMFM, RomCom, HEA, Rivals to Lovers, Friends to Lovers, V-card Omega, two Alpha males, and one Omega Male. High heat, high tension! Releasing Valentine’s Day 2025!
Kira Roman is a Mom of two monsters, she loves reading, and naps. She loves food, and The Office. She loves gloomy, rainy days. Naps, did I mention naps? She loves naps. And food. All the food.
So one MMC is like. Not even a character. One is a bully when she was younger. Like. Hurt your heart he was so mean. And he does NOTHING to change your mind about him. Gives no grovel and she just rolls over. And the MMC omega is not great. Very confused the whole time. I hated this.
I have found this book in somebody’s recommendations on IG, downloaded because i LOVED the cover. But sadly can only give 3 stars and here is why:
+It had all Omegaverse typical stuff and i loved it BUT
-one of alphas was bullying FMC all her teeny years, and he kinda was on his knees but it didn’t feel like sorry. He was seeing her as his mate but NEVER kinda it felt that he was genuinely sorry -The miscommunications since they were teenagers? Killed evth for me … sadly
-Could i get into their relationship afterwards? Sadly not
2.5 stars. We're just gonna moonwalk past almost a year of both mothers treating the male omega with open hostility until the FMC (also an omega) became part of their pack like they'd always wanted? Nah that doesn't fly with me, idc that they're family.
We're also just gonna skip right on by the fact that these three MMCs formed a pack to help the one MMC with his heartbreak and then the other two had a very full sex life while ignoring him for the next year even though he was very much into the omega too?
Sadly I actually really liked the story and the characters. I loved the male omega learning to listen to himself and his needs, but we didn't see enough of it before she was the cureall for all of them. I loved the fractured pack that needed to learn how to meet each other's needs, but again, we didn't see enough of it before they were just falling into each other's beds with little to no explanation. Too much of what happened didn't cut it for me.
And the one MMC that made her last years of high school absolute hell barely apologized once before she was practically salivating over him (let's be real, she was salivating over him from page one).
Our girl is an omega who has basically been collecting rejection letters her entire life. Virgin. Overlooked. Soft. Then her MOTHER signs her up for a Valentine’s dating night because apparently that is normal omega behavior and honestly? Iconic chaos. From there we meet two alphas and another omega which already had my brain buffering because… sir? Another omega??
Here’s where the book said “trust me” and I said “I guess.” She ends up living with them which absolutely short-circuited everything I know about omegaverse dynamics, so I simply placed all prior knowledge in a locked box and continued reading.
And then the real romance kicks off and plot twist, it’s not alpha x omega first. Nope. It’s omega x omega. These two are brutally drawn to each other. Snuggling. Comforting. Soft yearning. Sexual tension. All very omega-coded, just… pointed at each other. One is sweet and gooey with a bratty streak who absolutely knows what he wants and I did enjoy that very much.
Alpha number two is an artist. Broody. Cocky. Pretty. Pops in and out like a sexy side quest which is wild for such a short book because he feels important but also not main-main.
And then we have the pack leader alpha. The main event. He is everywhere. Every chapter. Taking her on individual dates. Very attentive. Very “I will structure this chaos.” Honestly cute as hell.
Now. My only real issue. The omegaverse rules got rewritten but nobody explained the new laws. I wanted a crumb. A paragraph. A footnote. Something. How are two omegas this drawn to each other in a world that apparently doesn’t do that? We are simply vibing and not asking questions and while I get that the focus was romance and feelings, my brain wanted answers.
Overall? Short. Sweet. Enjoyable. I had a good time. Not a reread for me and not my favorite omegaverse because the confusion stuck, but if you want a Valentine’s themed, soft, slightly lawless pack story with unexpected dynamics, this might hit just right 💌📚
The omegaverse was oemgaversing. I didn’t know what to think with the two omegas more attracted to each there than the alphas but I was here for it. MMMF why choose. It was kind of all over the place but I was here for the vibes, I just couldn’t let go how Harlow forgave Cae so easily after he bullied her so harshly in high school. It also felt like he just wanted Harlow for Quin. He should’ve groveled more. And poor Lachlan didn’t even seem like part of the pack. Did we even get his POV? I needed more interaction with him and Quin and him and Harlow. I did like the connection between Quin & Harlow as omegas and had a feeling they were scent matches but we never really got confirmation besides murmuring it. Like why?? And is it really??
This was a fun, fast-paced Valentine’s novella with all the Omegaverse staples — heat, tension, and a pack dynamic that kept things lively. The setup of Harlow ending up stuck with her rivals-turned-fated mates was both playful and spicy, and the short length made it an easy, entertaining read.
Because it’s a novella, the romance moved quickly, but it worked here. The mix of rivals-to-lovers and friends-to-lovers kept the dynamic engaging, and the “holiday fling turned forever” vibe gave it the right amount of sweetness to balance out the heat.
Overall, this was exactly what I wanted from a themed holiday Omegaverse: light, hot, and fun.
This has a bit of childhood crush-turned enemies-to-lovers plus somewhat auctioned off omega (for charity, of course) and add in an additional male omega plus an additional alpha crush and EVERYONE TAKES FOREVER TO ADMIT THEIR FEELINGS and that's pretty much what you have here. *eyeroll*
I think this had the potential to be 4+ stars for me but I HAAAATE when people just don't spit out the words and it makes it awkward for too long. I liked it but I think it had the potential to be better. And that's okay - I don't regret reading it and I do think omegaverse (especially when you have 2 omegas) isn't as easy of a genre to write as many would think.
A bit disjointed. Some weird jumps. Her Cae past trauma was held back, then they jump through it in a few pages including the resolution. Her job. Her accepting living in thier house. Just didn't flow. Good afternoon quick read.
If there is one thing that activates my almonds it's a meddling well meaning, narcissistic, selfish parent and the parents in this book are just that. The book isn't about bad parenting, it's about Harlow and how she just needs a break. She's young and had just dropped out of college because it's not the right move for her and she was only went to please her parents. But she's moved home and is now under her parents feet. Harlow is basically manipulated into moving in with her high school bully, the son of her mother's best friend. Harper doesn't want to be there and really doesn't want to disrupt anyone's routine or boundaries. But the roomates have an ulterior motive for inviting her to stay. But not in an intolerable way, more like they're half in love with each other and Harlow just hasn't realised it yet. One of my favourite moments and probably the most memorable is when the reformed bully picks a side and defends his mates to the parents. Also naked painting. This book was mostly about finding common ground with people you've know your whole life, but didn't think you deserve. Then learning that you're actually perfect for each other. This was an easy read and filled with enough spice to get your motor running.
“This only ended one way. Pack Baker was only going to exist with Quin as the heart of it, and Harlow as the soul. Something that’s become even clearer to me now.”

This is such a cute, low angst contemporary omegaverse novella. I have never read a book that had two omegas in a pack before so I didn’t know how that would work, but I like how it was done here. Harlow is an unbonded omega, and she has been in love with three men who are completely off limits since high school. Two of the men are alphas (one is a friend and one is her childhood rival), and one is an omega (who is her friend), and they are bonded mates in a pack together. Her instincts and their scents are all screaming at her that those three are hers, but that isn’t possible because omegas can’t and won’t share with another omega, and they definitely don’t want her the way she want them — or do they?
The rivalry and miscommunication between Harlow and Caelum wasn’t my favorite personally (I just don’t love those tropes) but the way it was cleared up was perfect for these characters and I like what the author did with their relationship. Really, the only thing I would change would be to have the story be longer (just because I like all of the characters and would love to see more of them after their HEA ending) but this had perfect pacing and length as far as a novella goes. You know a novella is a good one when it doesn’t feel like a novella and the story arc is satisfying. This is definitely spicy but the plot is important to the story as well. This is going on my omegaverse comfort re-read list for sure!

┈ MY THOUGHTS ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ - I loved the enemies-to-lovers, rivalry vibe with Harlow and Caelum. - Caelum did an amazing apology and a bit of groveling, but I kinda just wanted more. Dude fucked up majorly and made her life hell in high school. I needed 3-5 more chapters of him groveling. She forgave him far too easily. - I get this was a short novella, but things felt very abrupt sometimes, and the ending was a little lackluster. I just wanted more!!! If this had been a full-length novel, I think it would've solved many of my complaints. - I LOVE it when packs have two omegas!!! That aspect of the book was so much fun! They were so good for each other and considerate of each other. - Their moms suck. I was so happy when Caelum put them in their place and how he always defended and stood up for Harlow to her mother. - I was a bit mad that they were already a pack; the only thing that made it better was knowing that they had a lot of issues and never went through a heat together. Harlow was their missing piece, and they needed her. - Overall: A fun, short story. I wish it would've been longer, though, because the plot/characters were great 🥲

This could have been better if it was 200 pages more of character development. Their love seems very instantaneous and it has to be, there are so few pages. But to to more of a dive into their emotions and give the characters more meat to their bones would have been nice. As it is now it felt a bit surface level. You hardly get to know them at all.
It’s promoted as rivals to lovers, and yeah there is a tiny mention of that. But Cae and Harlow are bully to lovers more than anything. And I do not care for that trope so if I had known I wouldn’t have read this, regardless of how small that part was. Yeah he has his stupid reasons but that’s serious trauma he put her through and falling to his knees is apparently all he has to do for her to forgive him making her an ”psycho” outcast with no friends. If there were more pages we could have gotten more groveling, more explanations and a bit more realistic forgiveness. Why is she portrayed as kind of a strong omega when she folds like a lawnchair?
It says it’s high heat. I mean… they do fool around a bit with the truth or dare, but mostly it’s just a lot of horny scents and Cae and Quin making themselves known as they fuck and spread their funky smell like it’s a bomb going off. She is still a virgin until like the last chapter when her heat suddenly hits. It would have been better to see them all get a turn before the heat and to bild their relationships. Having her virginity taken like it’s nothing feels like a missed opportunity and really kinda strange just cause it’s mentioned time and time again throughout the book like it’s something special they want.
The ”third act breakup” was weak af. I don’t get why she left, I really don’t. They had explained they wanted her, she wanted them. And she leaves after defending them and saying she’s not theirs? The fact that they just sniff her out and just takes her with them back like it’s nothing and she thinks it’s nothing too makes it just weird.
this was fun! as usual, i wanted more information since the book is so short. but unlike a lot of the books i’ve been reading lately, i wanted more because i was actually enjoying it. i actually really loved the way everyone interacts in this. i like the playfulness, the resistance, the affection, the way all three of those things come from all the members of the pack.
i was a little disappointed with the ending because it feels a little off to have all these people confessing their love to one another despite the fact that they don’t actually super know each other that well. but in fairness, this one does feel way more well-supported than some others since it’s made clear that they kind of grew up adjacent to one another. which i know sounds contradictory considering that i just said they don’t really know each other. but it’s more that they don’t really know each other as adults outside of the context of the way they all behaved in high school.
but again, obviously as a short holiday book, they didn’t really have the chance to get into all of that.
there are some apologies and confrontation of their prior behavior, but in my opinion, it’s still way too early for these people to be bonding and such. especially because this book kinda feels like they’ve all only been living together for maybe a month? i don’t remember if the timeline is actually specified, but it feels like it doesn’t take very long at all.
but the book is cute and fun and i read it in like 2 hours!
This was such a sweet read, I couldn't put it down.
Harlow!!! She is the absolute best. She isn't your "regular" Omega, and I love her personality. She is fierce, beautiful, and edgey, and I was so drawn to how relatable she was.
Our mmc's are Caelum, Lachlan, and Quinton. Caelum is pack lead and has a not so great past with Harlow, Lachlan is extremely quiet but once you get to know him he comes out of his shell (especially with Harlow) and Quinton or Quin is amazing in every way but is struggling with his designation.
The plot was amazing. We see Harlow move into the pack house at Cae's doing and also Harlow's mother (kind of), and instead of causing issues, Harlow brings them all closer together. There are many ups and downs and a lot of what ifs, but it was plain to see that Harlow was meant to be theirs. It's a pity that outside influences (meddling family members) get too involved and end up hurting the pack or the potential to be a proper pack with Harlow.
This is the perfect Valentine's Day story, but really, you can read it any time you want 😊
Thank you, Kira and your lovely team, for the opportunity to read this story. I am forever grateful 🙏

Harlow is back in her hometown after dropping out of college and back to living with her parents, namely her overbearing mother.
Somehow she gets conned into participating in a Valentine’s Day auction and her arch rival from school winds up betting on her. She’s to go on 4 dates, 1 with each pack member and then one as a whole pack. She gets conned into moving into the pack house and she is anything but happy about it.
She’s wildly attracted to the scents of Alphas Caelan and Lachlan as well as their omega Quin.
Lines start to blurry. Cae does his best to drive Harlow crazy but at the same time is trying to show her that she belongs with them. It’s almost childish thinking teasing and being obnoxious correlates to someone being romantically interested in another.
Lachlan isn’t around much but I’m sure we’ll see more of him soon.
As the dates go on, feelings start to come to the surface.
Naturally their pushy mothers have to go and blow up everything but I’m glad there wasn’t a third act breakup like most RHs have. Everyone came together. Quin got everything he wanted and needed and Harlow filled the missing piece of their puzzle.
Knot Their Valentine was an entertaining, spicy little Valentine’s read and a fun dip into Omegaverse for someone who’s definitely not an expert in the genre. I can’t claim to fully understand all the rules and dynamics, but having two omegas in the pack didn’t feel like the norm.
Quin, the male omega, was easily my favorite. He was sweet, compelling, and the character I connected with the most. Harlow, the FMC, was fine overall, though she didn’t fully win me over until a redeeming moment toward the end where she showed some real backbone. Pack leader Cae, on the other hand, was pretty “meh” for me. His past behavior toward Harlow, especially the bullying when they were younger, made him hard to root for. Alpha Lachlan, though? Absolutely my type. Artistic, sarcastic, bearded... no notes. I wish he got more focus.
I’m still getting used to everyone constantly referring to each other by their rank/title in Omegaverse, and I don’t love that aspect, but that’s more a personal preference than a flaw of the story.
Overall, this was a high-heat, romcom-style novella that delivered on spice and Valentine’s vibes, even if not every character or dynamic worked for me.
This book had potential, but the execution of the pack dynamic left me frustrated and disconnected. Harlow, the Omega, deserved so much more than what she got. From the start, we’re told she loved Cae deeply, even back in high school, yet he treated her terribly. When he suddenly decides in his twenties that he wants to make things right, his “apology” falls flat. There’s no true grovel, no redemption arc that feels earned, just a weak excuse for years of cruelty.
What hurt most was how unloved Harlow felt throughout the story. Instead of being cherished by her pack, she was thrown into a room in their apartment and constantly played second fiddle to Quinn. The spotlight always circled back to Cae and Quinn, leaving Harlow on the sidelines. Lachlan could have been the saving grace—his chemistry with her was undeniable—but he was so underdeveloped that he became almost irrelevant.
The beauty of Omegaverse is usually the bond of the pack, the sense that every member matters equally. That’s missing here. Harlow’s story feels like an afterthought, and readers looking for that immersive, all-in pack love may walk away disappointed.
Tropes: Omegaverse MMFM (has MM) Has Male Omega Men from the Past Friends to lovers Valentine Novella
Ratings: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎤🎤🎤🎤 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Review: The tension, the longing!
These men were from Harlow’s past, when Harlow mom makes her go in an auction for charity her past come to find her. When Caelum wins her, she’s not happy. He made bad rumors about her in high school. Now she has to go in a date with him and his pack which already has an omega.
Quinton is the male omega in the pack and Harlow is scary to step on toes but she’s been lusting after him for a while. Then there is Lachlan who is the other alpha in the pack.
The pack they are all ment to be and they want to tie and her heart and soul. I liked this audiobook the narrator were amazing, I would definitely recommend this audio especially for Valentine’s Day.
Omega Harlow (FMC) has had a long history with Pack Baker. Having gone to school with them. Only that Caelum made the whole school ostracise and bully her after comments he made about her. Add to that both of their mothers are completely focused on them packing together and they are relentless in making it so.
I loved Omega Quin. He was sweet and endearing within himself especially with how he didn't know how to be an Omega. Which made my heart break for him. I loved his relationship with Harlow. It was more than that because Lachlan had similar issues with how he fitted into their pack. Harlow near enough came into the guys dynamic and fixed things that they hadn't realised needed fixing. A great read.
I thought this was a really cute story! Bit of insta love, enemies/rivals-to-lovers, two omegas, nesting, and a heat. The male omega, Quin, melted my heart with his insecurities about being an omega. I loved all three of the men though, even though one of them bullied her in high school. While I don’t think he groveled that much, I do think he really thinks he was trying to do the right thing, but guys can be stupid, right? He tries to make amends and I think he deserved his happy ending with her. While this had angst and some miscommunication from their teenage years, it was a super sweet story surrounding the theme of Valentine’s Day.
Harlow, an unbounded omega. Cae, an alpha whom she grew up with but is also her rival. Quinton, bonded omega he her rival. Lachlan, an alpha in the pack with her rival & bonded to the omega Quin! Harlow has always had a crush on Quinn, but never acted on it. Cae made life hard for Harlow! Their mothers are meddling bitches who aren’t pleased with Cae’s life choices! When Cae wins a q set of dates with Harlow, can he tries things work. Especially since he knows Quin needs Harlow! I love the happily ever after that this pack gets. Especially since they find out, they are all scent matches. 2 omegas in a pack isn’t normal but it works for them!!!
first this book sounded great and the writing was well written but the plot and the characters were crap. you’re telling me this fire cracker of a girl can’t stand up for herself in the slightest? she is forced to live in a house with all males when she knows she doesn’t want to, her parents don’t step in to try to help her, her mother completely dismisses her, and one of the MMC treats her like crap on the bottom of her shoe for little to no groveling? there is WAY too much alpha-hole going around from both alphas in this book. I have read my fair share of omegaverse books but this takes the cake for poorly executed.
A light, fun read that flew by and was a great distraction.
I don't usually enjoy books with few points of view, but to my surprise, the dominance of the main narrator (Harlow-FMC) wasn't a problem. This was due to the numerous dialogues and the well-distributed focus on the other characters.
Other positive points: polyamory is super balanced here, no one is left out!
Quin, Cae, Lach and Harlow have distinct and interesting personalities, nothing in-depth, but I liked each of them.
Since it's a shorter book, there wasn't much development or drama, but the feelings between the group were totally believable.
Normally I like my omegaverse dark, but this was cute and sweet and well done. I don’t always like when there is a male omega. I definitely don’t like the mpreg omegas the logistics of that gross me out, but this isn’t that. This was very low spicy. There was spice between the male omega and his alphas but mostly off page. And light spice between the female omega and others. But the main spice doesn’t happen till the last couple pages. I don’t normally like the virgin tropes but this wasn’t badly done so I didn’t mind so much. Overall this was a cute quick read and very enjoyable.
I’ve been looking for a good MMMF omega story with MM and MF pairings with a male omega for awhile now and this definitely scratched the itch. I loved the premise of Harlow having to date Cae, Lachlan and Quinton individually and then all together on a pack date while building deeper relationships with her high school crushes. The tension between the bonded pack and their mothers was just enough to make the story interesting but not overly bearing that it took away from the plot. This was short, sweet and steamy and just what I was looking for!
