Knot Enough

by Mali Kross, Shelby Wortman (Editor)

Lydia and Gabriel are a rare pairing of two omegas. Lydia always dreamed of finding her pack, but after getting rejected by her scent matches, she's happy to remain by Gabriel's side. One night at a matchmaking ball, Gabriel dragged Lydia to meet a pack of three alphas. Finn, the mechanic; Sorren, the easygoing movie director; and Graham, the CEO of a sports supply company. Finn, Sorren, and Graham, have scents that bring Lydia a calm she's never known before. Gabriel is excited to finally find their happy ending.

Let's hope he's not wrong.

3.5 stars.

This was a really sweet and unique concept in a widely pronounced omegaverse genre because, statistically speaking, there would be asexual omegas in OV universes and yet I've never seen it represented (at least not in a main character!)

I will say, it felt like a reader who had a story they were really passionate about and wanted to see more representation of, so wrote it. I find that very comendable.

If I were to give two points of advice:
1. Front and Back matter - most importantly, a copyright page. Authors spend days, weeks, months, even years on manuscripts. Protect them.
2. When it comes to dialoge it ends with a comma if it's followed by a verbal description (e.g. "Hello," he greeted.) and a period when followed by an action (e.g. "Hello." He held his hand out in greeting.) this makes a huge difference and given this book has been out for several months now, I don't believe this was a case of 'wrong file uploaded' so it would benifit immensely by going through and fixing this as outside of dialogue, there is only a couple of little inconsistencies and typos which is really impressive.

If reading a book that hasn't been edited at all and has this sort of consistent writing errors don't bother you, then this is easily a 4.5 star book in how sweet and comforting it is.

I was so excited to receive this arc! I really love seeing different representation in omegaverse but this one was a first me. Omegaverse seems to focus a lot on physical relationships as well as the comfort omegas need from having their alphas present. I haven't read an omegaverse where one of those wasn't involved in the HEA. This is the first time I read a book with asexual rep and it was beautiful! I loved reading about how she still needed her alphas comfort during heat but she didn't want a sexual experience.



Possible spoilers but very mild.


I love that they were so aware of her needs and preferences and never once pushed her too far. It was so amazing to see this aspect of omegaverse at the front. The comfort, care and security are always included in the physical relationships but seeing it as the main part of their intimacy was something I didn't knot I needed. Thank you for giving us this book. I definitely want to find more omegaverse books with asexuality in it.

Heartwarming and Comforting Read

This was such a sweet and uplifting quick read! Lydia is an asexual omega who’s been deeply hurt by a past relationship. Gabriel, another omega and her chosen pair, plays a vital role in helping her heal and rediscover her strength. Their bond is tender and supportive, and I truly loved seeing an omega-omega pairing portrayed with such care.

The story becomes even more compelling with the introduction of three alphas—Graham, the ever-smiling hard worker; Finn, the gentle-hearted mechanic; and Sorren, the charismatic movie director. Gabriel is a scent match for the alphas, and Lydia finds a calming peace in their presence. I especially appreciated how the alphas respected Lydia’s boundaries and embraced both omegas for who they are.

The dynamic between all five characters felt genuine, nurturing, and refreshingly different from the usual omegaverse tropes. If you’re looking for a soft, emotionally safe romance with deep character care and representation, this is a wonderful pick.

4.5⭐️

I love finding diversity in novels and it is especially exciting when it is in an Omegaverse setting. Lydia’s journey is so poignant and impactful to those of us who don’t fit into society’s idea of “normal” or “typical”. Being different in a world scared by it, makes finding self worth an acceptance a tricky path.

I loved that this is an own-voiced perspective of identifying as asexual and how redemptive it can be in finding the right partner(s). I imagine Lydia’s journey to finding love is as is rocky as some of our own. She endures so much heartache but the way Gabriel lives for and loves her allows for a second chance. This story is so romantic and sweetly intimate and was underscored with an unwavering respect for her boundaries.

I think diversity is needed more prevalently in all manners of fiction especially in the realm of romance. I cannot recommend this story enough and I hope more representation of asexuality will become a more prevalent aspect.

This is an amazing and different take for an OV. The largest take from this book is Lydia and her sent matched alphas were dealt a losing hand.

From my pov:
Lydia is an ace through no fault of her own. She wants to be a cherished omega which is great. But her sent matches are not aces and like the intimacy that touch brings. Which makes their relationship incompatible.

There was not enough conversations on everyone's want and needs in the first pack for Lydia. If they talked more instead of rejecting her by cheating on her and she was more open minded about their needs, they could have had a different result.

It might have worked out.But in saying that no one should not have to compromise to the point where their needs are not met.

For instance Gabriel and Lydia meet different needs for the Beckett pack that no one person feels left out, if the first pack had this dynamic maybe it could have been a better fit.

I am so grateful to have been able to receive an ARC of this!
It was such a fun ride. I loved the growth that the characters showed. I was super excited over the Ace rep because I was really curious how an OV would go about that, especially with a heat. I was not disappointed in this authors take with it. The constant consent and respect from all members of the pack was amazing.
I loved that everyone in the pack took the FMC's feelings into consideration for EVERYTHING. Gabriel was especially aware of Lydia and her needs. He was the first to step in for her and honestly, that is the best energy ever.
I just wish it was longer! I know a lot of people complain about OVs being too long but I fell in love with this pack and wanted more.

It’s very different

My feelings on this book are so weird. But I did like it!

Lydia rejects her scent-matched pack when they cheat on her during her heat. Later, she meets Gabriel (omega) and they end up bonding. They are ride-or-die for each other.

When they meet Graham, Sorren and Finn, they turn out to be Gabriel’s scent matches. Lydia is ecstatic for him but concerned because where does that leave her?

I love that the pack never treats her as an afterthought since she isn’t their scent match but also because she’s asexual. I honestly don’t know much about that but it seemed like the author did a good job. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It was just weird because although Lydia got hugs, kisses, cuddles…she never slept with anyone. And she saw Gabriel sleep with the other guys and not get jealous. I’m just not sure I liked that.

I loved Lydia and Gabriel! I felt they were an excellent introduction to an omega pair as well as ACE representation and non-traditional relationships.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the pack learn how to take care of both of their individual needs and how they differ and show Lydia how much they really wanted her to be there too.
The only thing I wish that would have been different was if we could have seen more of Lydia and Gabriel's relationship before the one year time jump and before the pack was introduced.
Overall, I found this book to be cozy and sweet. I would love to read more by this author!

I LOVED this book! The amount of growth shown between each character was amazing and needs to happen more in other books! I love the way Gabriel protected Lydia and eventually, Sorren, Graham, and Finn did as well. Although it wasn’t as ✨Spicy✨ as if normally read it had just the perfect amount of spice for what the author was trying to portray I think. Either way great book! I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to have been an arc reader for this novel!

This is a sweet romance, with a dark beginning. Lydia has gone thru some things with her scent matches who suck BTW. Gabriel saved her, this energetic omega. They blooms into soul mates and then Gabriel finds his scent matches. Who he then tell they have to court him and lydia. They agree and they bloosm from there! There love is to die for. Such a happy ending. I love reading every minute of this book! I hope you enjoy it as well

Cute.

If you want a cute little omegaverse read then this is your book! There are multiple pov's. We got pack dynamics. We got asexual rep. Chosen family/pack vibes. Honestly really cute and quick to read. It does have some spice but I could have used a little more in my opinion (lets be for real I could always use more spice). Honestly if ya just want a cozy read pick this one up.

[Chaotic Nexus · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not bad

It was highly disappointing. It was cute, but it felt somewhat pointless. It had a decent storyline, but it was poorly executed. It would've been better if it had been more action-packed and had more explicit, x-rated scenes, but... I digress

[readwithmariaxoxo]

DNF the book at 20%… The vibes were not vibing and the topic of these book were not for me either

[Katy Black · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good

The story was good but it needed a copy edit. Happy to see a representation of ace that felt genuine. Kross, keep at it.

[S.J Collins · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really liked Knot Enough. Lydia and Gabriel are a bonded pair of Omegas. Lydia is asexual. She doesn't have the urge for sex or intimacy. But ask a devotion are her love language, which she gets with the BECKETT Pack and Gabriel.

[Active Mom]

I wanted to like this book because it represents an ace FMC and the struggles she would go through with relationships. I actually gave a star for that part. However, there were a lot of editing errors, inconsistencies, and just unhealthy focuses. Also, this should come with quite a few trigger warnings about cheating, abandonment, attempted self-unaliving/mental health issues, attempted kidnapping and SA of one of the MCs, and that’s in the first 35% of the book. I had to stop reading right after the attempted SA of the MMC for two reasons - aspects were unbelievable and the scene quickly becomes all about the FMC and her abandonment trauma from a year ago. While valid and worthy of attention, it should not have had priority. Law enforcement should have been called, the MMC should have gotten medical attention for being drugged. The priority should have been caring for the person who JUST survived a trauma. Other issues were then the MMC and FMC met. The prologue and the MMC’s version don’t mesh. I tried to live with that confusion assuming there were steps that just weren’t obvious to me. Other - twice the word “conversation” is mistyped as “conservation”. And another, the FMC is having a panic attack, and one of the alphas asks her about the sounds she hears… “You, fried food, and…“ and I can’t remember the other. I had to read twice to make sure I didn’t miss a couple of paragraphs. This doesn’t feel like a final draft. It feels like there was quite a bit of editing and reworking to do. It had potential, but fell short.

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

When was the last time you read a book that broke your heart from the prologue? Lydia’s story broke me! Gabriel is the perfect little love for her and the alphas are perfect for all them this book made me cry, laugh, and overall brought me joy
