Blue Springs #1
Knotting Else Matters
🌙 She’s the Pack’s Outcast. He’s the Pack’s Leader. Let the Chaos Begin.🌙
Coming back to Blue Springs was supposed to be a quick in-and-out—show up for my sister’s mating ceremony, pretend to be the supportive big sister, dodge my mother’s judgmental glares, and escape without causing a scene. Easy, right? Except nothing is ever easy when you’re the pack’s resident disaster—a Zeta in a world that only respects Omegas and Alphas. But then I stumbled straight into the arms (and the bed) of Adrian, the annoyingly gorgeous, insufferably smug Alpha who thinks he can fix me. Spoiler I’m not interested in being fixed. But maybe… just maybe… I don’t mind being wanted. Even if it’s by the one person who’s supposed to know better.
As Alpha and a pack leader, I’m used to order, control, and everything going exactly the way I plan. That is, until Olivia crashed back into my world—fierce, stubborn, and absolutely determined to turn everything upside down. She’s a Zeta, the wild card of the pack, the woman who laughs at tradition and has a talent for pushing every one of my buttons. I should’ve stayed away. I should’ve kept her at arm’s length. But instead, I pulled her closer, claimed her, and now I can’t let go. I’ll keep an eye on her—because she’s chaos in a leather jacket, and she’s mine. Even if I have to convince her of it one kiss at a time.

This book was quite difficult to read due to the overuse of adjectives & similies. It added too many unnecessary sentences and took away from the storyline. The same things were described the exact same way multiple times. There were loads of typos and even doubled up paragraphs.
Breathless* was way overused - A breathless laugh. Breathless moan. Breathless whisper. Breathless smirk???
Wild* was used 188 times. There are 194 pages to the whole book.
The story was over the span of a week to the main characters not knowing each other to being mates. There was no real development.
I got to the end but it was a bloody hard read. 🤣

cute, feels, spice
I really enjoyed this quick M/F, wolf shifter romantic comedy. Left me smiling with some sweet feels in the end. Lots of character growth for the FMC. Family drama in the form of social climbing mother. Overall cute, funny banter, HEA, steamy/spicy, would definitely recommend and I hope the author adds to this series.

This book was an absolute delight! A perfect blend of heartfelt romance, witty dialogue, and charming characters. Frost’s writing pulls you in from the first page and keeps you hooked until the very end. A must-read for anyone who loves a feel-good story with plenty of heart. Highly recommended!

3.75⭐️
This was a very easy, very quick read if you want some light hearted omegaverse spice.
It didn’t have the intense, bonded type connection that I kept expecting to happen… like I think he felt it at some moments? I think there needed to be more connection and conversations to develop an intense connection between them. For me, in Omegaverse, it needs to be either instant -like omg I found my mate, it’s her, bam- OR there needs to be a intense build up over time that develops until it’s snaps into place. I would’ve liked a moment when the bond really snapped into place or something? More intensity. But it was a fun time regardless. Definitely felt more romcomy as a genre. I also didn’t really connect with olivia too much, but I did love Adrian, so I just wanted more of his POV, especially in the end. Also, would’ve loved an epilogue to show it finally getting to that point. Overall, a good time.

I was interested in this one because Olivia was a Zeta, and becomes he interest of Alpha Adrian. Started off ok but Olivia has such a chip on her shoulder and was overly sarcastic on everything that it got draining. Adrian was so stoic and while I liked him, Olivia grated as the story went on.

editing mistakes abound

*Edit*
Been told that this author uses generative AI for book covers. I am anti-generative AI as this is taking work away from artists who work with authors. I am not the best at identifying this, but now that it has been pointed out I just can't support this book. it was good, but there is no excuse for using AI on book covers.
Original review:
Now I'm not usually one for rom-coms. But damn, did I not devour this book! It was just so good!

Overall I liked the book and it started really good but it needs some serious editing.
Towards the end there were so many adjectives and sentences that kept repeating, I don’t know how many times I read ‘crashing into something warm’ and ‘the wild, desperate ache that had twisted in my chest’
Which is a shame because I liked the story and characters but could not get past it.

DNF at 75%. Terrible writing, errors, no editor in sight.
October 1, 2025
There were so many editing issues I actually started keeping track....
Olivia left when she was 19, and is now 36, but also said she hasn't been back for 8 years.
Sophie was driving, but also barreled out the passenger door.
Week til the mating ceremony. Then 2 weeks. Then Adrian thinks about how it's in three days.
Karl leaves the weight room, but then is also still in weight room to antagonize Adrian about Olivia.
Flowers are wrong, so A and O say they'll go 4 hours north to a flower farm for them at 6am, but then they don't get there because of an accident traffic jam that only takes 45min, and somehow it's already nightfall and magically the florist is also an innkeeper??? Which, also, they're just gonna transport flowers in an unrefridgerated truck in the dead heat of August? But wait! It's a van in the following chapter.
He knotted her from behind but then she's facing him as they cuddle afterwards, still knotted.
The last few chapters managed to end the story without any glaring inconsistencies, so, go team!

Big personalities, lovely story!
I really loved the distinctive personalities of both the FMC and MMC! Olivia has had a tough life, and Adrian is not your typical Alpha who wants a sweet, submissive Omega. There's so much witty banter and sarcasm between these two that I was actually giggling out loud. And the revelation in the penthouse was such a great plot point! The steam is good, about 2.5 out of 5.
My only gripe is that there's a handful of continuity errors. They're not crucial to the plot, but they kind of distract from the story. Things like people leaving the room, only to be involved in the conversation on the next page. Clothes being removed only to be magically back on again a paragraph later. Or driving a truck, but then calling it a van. Again, not crucial to the plot, but I know that bothers some people a lot.
Would still recommend this book, though!

In the last 20 pages of the book, the author uses the word “fierce” over 17 times.
The author also uses two word descriptors WAY too much, for example: “Sophie and Karl stood at the front, beneath the grand, silver statue of the Moon Goddess, her serene, graceful figure bathed in a soft, silvery glow. The priestess stood before them, her voice a soft, melodic murmur that seemed to drift through the quiet, hushed air.” (Grand, silver; serene, graceful; soft, silvery; soft, melodic; quiet, hushed). Also the combination of “wild, fierce” and “dark, fierce” was SO over used.
The plot itself was weak, I know it was less than 200 pages but there was so much fluff it could’ve been half that size.

I do think this book needs some editing. I think the book/plot has good bones, it just needs some work with an editor.
I love shifter books, so this was definitely a contemporary spin on shifters…..even though there was no shifting in the book. Boooo
I liked both MCs. There were parts I laughed at.
There was open door spice that was spicy. I’d rate it a 2 on spice (I read a lot of dark romance so my spice meter is damaged 🤪)
Both MCs are in their mid 30’s (I think H was 39) and I’d say both acted their age, mostly. h is a wild one, so she tended to act younger, but I think it fit the character and her trauma.
I feel if this book was fine-tuned a little better and edited- it would be rated much higher.

Knotting Else Matters is a fun, quick read, which is precisely what I wanted. Adrian is the typical brooding Alpha, and Olivia is a Zeta, an unknown entity that challenges and creates chaos. Adrian takes life seriously, thriving on order, but when the chaos that is Olivia finds him, he falls head over heels, stopping at nothing to get her to take a chance on him.
I laughed a lot and really enjoyed the rom-com vibes. The story needs to be flushed out a bit more and then tightened up with a good round of editing, but the potential is there, and I loved it!
Rounding from a 3.75 to a 4 because it made me giddy and swoony!

I didn't hate it, but I wish there was more.
This is a short, quick read. The witty banter is decent, but there's errors through the book. Repeated paragraphs, typos, and I can't tell you how many times the word "wild" was used.. probably at least ten times per page. It felt very repetitive in parts of the story. The plot could use some more depth and built out characters more, but again- at around 200 pages, it's not terrible. It has potential with an editor and some depth added. If you're just looking for a quick read that has the dramashorts feel to it, then this will do.

Honest review gives this a 2 stars. The book has great bones but needs so much editing and revision. Also, they're wolves but shifting is never mentioned, only internal wolves? And knotting is mentioned briefly 75% of the way in but never doing the times they're together previously or after. The timeline also didn't work. The biggest problem was constant over repetition. Numerous times I found whole paragraphs copyy and pasted multiple times. Also, the whole thing was left open? Nothing was really resolved or answered. The bones are there but overall, it just got tedious and annoying.

I really enjoyed this book. Knotting Else Matters is such a great mix of emotion, humor, and slow-burning heat. Olivia’s sharp wit and stubbornness made her so easy to root for, and Adrian’s quiet, protective nature balanced her perfectly. The writing is beautiful, funny in all the right places, but also surprisingly moving. One moment that really stayed with me was when Adrian stood up for Olivia against her mother. It was powerful and heartfelt, and it showed exactly why their relationship works. A wonderful story about love, identity, and finding where you belong.

I really liked the story and characters! But some of the words and phrases were repetitive and there was some parts left unresolved.
SPOILERS:
Did they actually complete the bond? She didn’t bite him back?
What is a zeta then?
Can only he smell her? Why?
Do the wolves ever come out? Do they actually shift? When?
Is she the Luna now? How’s she going to fit in that role?
-Wolves
-Family drama
-Enemies to lovers

It was cute and I appreciated the fact it was only 194 pages. Definitely a nice pallet cleanser between books.
The dialogue was a little clunky, their "banter" was veering close to "I know you are but what am I" territory. The word "chaos" was also used about 5o times too many and I was left sort of wanting since they didn't even complete the bond???? But you throw a shifter romance at me, I'm not gonna say no.

Olivia left her hometown after being ridiculed by her family (not her sister) and locals for being a Zeta. When she returns for her sister's wedding she still feels it even though her sister does everything she can to make her feel welcome.
Adrian is the new alpha pack leader and the moment he and Olivia meet, she instantly takes offense to him (granted, she didn't know he was the new pack leader). He's organized and a planner - she's pure chaos. Of course over time, he realizes he WANTS her chaos. But now needs to convince her of that fact.
This is cute and I LOVE the music involved!

She is the packs outcast zeta, who married a human and is now going through divorce. He is the typical cocky, gorgeous alpha. They constantly bicker and annoy each other. Thanks to some secret family members scheming, they are forced into close proximity, where sparks fly. Throw in a cruel and toxic parent, possessive alpha hole behavior, and red hot chemistry, and you get this adorably sexy story.

While I liked the sassiness of our FMC, I did feel like she put her own emotions ahead of her sister when she claimed to love and adore her but couldn’t focus on the wedding details. It irked me a bit. However, her chemistry with our MMC and the growth of healing after relationship trauma was fun and cathartic. Their banter and wit made me smile quite a bit and I was glad their mother didn’t get in between the relationship of the sisters.

I picked this up expecting a spicy Omegaverse, and what I got was a full-blown rom-com masterpiece with growly Alphas, sarcastic Zetas, and the best one-bed scene I’ve ever read.
Olivia is pure chaotic brilliance—sharp-tongued, self-aware, and refuses to follow pack rules (or basic life rules, honestly). And Adrian? Tall, broody, commanding Alpha energy with a soft spot for one particular disaster in a leather jacket. Their chemistry? Unreal. Their banter? Iconic. Their knotting scenes? I needed water.
The pacing is quick, the emotions hit, and the balance between steamy and heartfelt is chef’s kiss. Also, that front desk bribery scene deserves an award.
If you're into grumpy/sunshine, high-heat Omegaverse, and main characters who are total menaces to society—but perfect for each other—this book is for you. I laughed, I blushed, I bookmarked. A new comfort reread for sure.

Absolutely loved this book!
Olivia and Adrian had me hooked from the first sarcastic quip to the last steamy moment. The grumpy/sunshine dynamic, the knotting (😳), and the pack drama were everything. I laughed, blushed, and couldn’t put it down.
I seriously hope we get more stories in this universe—there’s so much potential and I need more chaotic Zeta energy ASAP.

fun easy enough.
It was a pretty good story, I liked the characters and the setting, it’s not overly spicy or angsty. I needed a light read after finishing a long series and this delivered the warm and fuzzy vibes while also keeping me awake until the early hours of the morning. Overall a cute read.

Spicy, hilarious, and unexpectedly sweet.
I devoured this book in one sitting! Olivia is pure chaos and Adrian is the kind of Alpha I didn’t know I needed. The banter, the heat, the slow emotional unraveling—it was perfection. I loved every second and seriously hope we get more stories set in this world. There’s so much potential, and I’m not ready to let go of these characters yet!
