A Pack of Mistletoe
#1 Bestselling Author Veronica Samek
Rose has been running from her controlling family for years. Even taking an experimental drug to mask her true designation and live as a beta. But when her supply runs out and her family closes in, she’ll do anything to protect herself and the small town she’s grown to love.
The Sterling Pack has a problem of their own. They must bond with an omega by New Year’s Eve or lose everything. When they meet a stubborn “beta” willing to fake a bond, it seems like the perfect solution to their impossible deadline.
But as Rose’s suppressed omega breaks to the surface with a vengeance, bonds will be tested and truths revealed. With her family closing in and the pack’s inheritance on the line, fate might just deliver the Christmas miracle they never saw coming.

Another win. Love this series, they are supremely cozy. This one had a little bit of angst, and was well done. Plus, I love me a Christmas romance.

Veronica has become an insta buy for me I don’t even bother reading the blurbs anymore just one click purchase lol. I loved reading Rose’s story and the interactions between all of the alphas being an established pack with swords crossing. This was a low angst quick read that could be read in a day or two which I loved since I don’t always have a lot of time around the holidays to read but got my Christmas feel.

4.5 ⭐️ No, cause this was much better than book #1!
I read both Christmassy books in this series in a row, because I'm the kind of reader that likes to save books for whenever the season's right. So, I'm saving the spring/summery book for the new year (book 2), and then the Halloween one (book 3) for next Halloween... So basically, I went from #1 straight to #4, and you can really tell how much better the author's gotten at telling a cozy, fluffy story, and making it great in a very minimal amount of pages.
There were six MCs in this book. I repeat, SIX, the omega FMC and then five alphas in her pack. And, even though this book's not even 300 pages long, I feel like all five MMC were much more defined or, even if it was all a bit surface level, than in book 2, where the only thing that I felt really separated one pack member from another was their physical attributes.
Another big difference - for the BETTER - was the fact that inside the already established pack there were MM and MMM prior relationships going on. I have a veeeery hard time getting invested in omegaverse when the MMC refuse to be romantically involved with one another, or even refuse to admit that their relationship is inherently love-filled and sexual. I get it, but it feels almost homophobic lollll. There is NONE of that in here. Not every MC is romantically or sexually interested in one another, but there's no hiding or refusing their connection either.
Overall, this book is probably my favourite MMMMMF book I've ever read! It is sooo hard to make a book with so many characters good in such a short amount of time, but I feel like this pushed through!
🌶🌶🌶/ 5 - Very spicy, with tons of MM and MMF scenes... and then some.

A Pack of Mistletoe follows Rose as she navigates her past catching up with her present while working towards what her future will look like. This book beautifully features themes of acceptance whether it’s of your designation, your past, choices you wish you handled differently and how to meld all of that together so that it doesn’t follow the characters into the future they are building. I loved getting insight into Rose and what drives her. From reading the previous books Rose hasn’t always been my favorite compared to the other women but this book proves just how masterful Veronica Samek is with her character development. This author paints such vivid pictures with her words that you can’t help but be sucked into this world. Watching Rose embrace who she really is and go after what she wants had me cheering her on and also had me tearing up a few times. The MMCs form such a cohesive pack and each one brings something unique to their relationship with Rose and with eachother. I’ll admit that early in the book I wasn’t sure how all the established and developing relationships in the pack would mesh with including Rose and they ended up being woven together in such beautiful and unexpected ways. The pacing of the story was absolutely perfect and the love story had me swooning. This book was the perfect amount of cozy and the spice was spicy!

Loved this book! I enjoyed getting to read Rose’s story. Her finding acceptance in herself and within the Sterling pack. A great holiday read!

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
Spice:🌶️🌶️.5
A pack of mistletoe is another great omegaverse tale, with the right amount of Christmas feeling for the season.
As usual, Veronica Samek doesn't shy away from dealing with delicate themes, while maintaining that level of fluff and feel good vibes that make this one of my favorite series. My heart went out to Rose, her struggles with finding herself in a word that only saw her as a bargaining chip.
And while I feel like Rose and her journey are the focal center of the story, we still get an interesting mix from her alphas: the inter-pack relationships, the discovery of new feelings, the forgiveness and atonement. I only wished there was space to delve deeper into the pack dynamics, and see more of their story.
Contrary to previous books in the series, this one is a bit less spicy, which was perfectly in line with the storyline: the plot is focused on healing, and while the physical intimacy is always an important part of every omegaverse story, in this case it only comes out when there's a real need, because the connection between characters goes deeper than just sex.
Overall, a great Christmas-y read, full of heartwarming and feel good moments.

I was curious about rose past she was such a mystery. Her friendship with the girls was so beautiful and how the whole town loved each other.
Rose had secrets no one knew til she had no choice but to seek kai & pack for help.
Evander,logan & Harlan,wyatt,kai
The moment they saw her, they had a pull, especially kai he knew her & Harlan had a small history with her .
And they alphas were lovers, so it was so exciting, especially during her heat & fake bonding. The build-up of the trust and protectiveness was so cute, and Evander is everything he was determined to make Christmas great for Rose. She never had happy memories that included Christmas.
Each alpha had a special relationship with Rose & eachother which melted me so much .
[ “We won’t let anything happen to you,” I tell her, voice rough with conviction. “Not with your parents. Not with the Blackbear Pack. Not with this medical shit, either. I gave my word and I’ll keep it.” ] Harlan❤️

I won't lie, I literally stayed up all night reading this. I have loved every book in the omega book club series and have been waiting very very impatiently for Rose's book. Ever since the first book in the series I've been clocking all the small hints and details about Rose knowing that I might love her story the most. I am a sucker for all of the tropes prevalent here. The protective MMC's, Rose having the find her way, all the holiday vibes. A Pack of Mistletoe shows Rose as her haunting past finally catches up with her endangering the found home she has created. I will say that very early in the book I was hesitant about how all the relationships would meld but my fears were absolutely unfounded as they all worked in such beautiful ways. This is the perfect book to start my holiday reads and such a great combo of spicy and cozy!

This will be available on November 25, 2025, so keep an eye out on Kindle and KU.
So thankful to receive an ARC of this book, because I’ve been dying to read Rose’s story since we first met her. Although I’ve really liked the other books, this one is by far my favorite. There is a definite uptick in the spice, but that’s totally not a bad thing. If you are a fan of more “pack connections” (not just all the Alphas worshipping the one Omega) AND cozy Christmas romances, this is the one for you. Although these books can be read standalone, I recommend reading them in order. I read book 3 then jumped back to 1… which was fine, but if you like an interconnected story arc, reading order would be best.

This was so cute and I looovvedd the dynamic between the heroes, and then with the heroes and the heroine. I haven't read a book where an omega hides her omega status, so she has to slowly come off of an experimental drug to let her omega surface. She's running from her family who wanted to keep her and sell her to a different pack, so when someone from her past needs an omega for an inheritance, she jumps at the chance for protection. The slow progression of their romance was so freaking cute and I loved how the guys slowly courted her once they realized they were all in. This is definitely a new favorite in the series!!

*arc review*
these cozy omegaverses have been taking over my life recently, and i am not mad at ALL!!
rose has been kind of this mystery character throughout the other 3 books, she’s stand offish and on her phone and a beta
but it turns out she was just running from her family & a cruel pack she was promised to
enter in 5 alphas, two which had met her before (kai, childhood friend and harlan, a rival of her fathers) and the other three, logan, evander and wyatt round it out
i always loved when alphas/members of a reverse harem have ACTUAL personality traits and distinct looks- this author is fantastic at separating the characters where i knew exactly who was speaking before it even told me. it makes it very easy to keep up when the heats come around (wink wink)
anyways loved the book, im a huge fan and i cannot wait for our final girl’s book and whatever else veronica will be writing (bc ill be reading it)
overall: 4/5
spice: 3/5

I never want this interconnected series to end! This was such a cute story. I loved the inclusion of Christmas and creating a “bucket” list of things to do to create new memories that some never got to experience as kids. I really enjoyed all the relationships. I liked that there was MM and not just everyone guy with only the one girl. I might be obsessed with Harlan and all his gruff, possessive self. The way he just takes leadership and stands up to her family had me swooning.

This book was so sweet. I loved Rose’s alphas and their relationships with each other. There’s limited angst, especially considering she’s an omega on the run, and overall the book mainly focuses on Rose and her alphas. I really enjoyed how Rose was willing to give the pack a chance even after they all agreed to fake date/bond (let’s be real; the fake part was over pretty quickly lol). This was a very cozy read, and I look forward to rereading it.

This book was so good, I loved all the twists and turns and suspence. The way Rose's story developed and her background came out was so well done, I just wish her family got a little more karma!
I am in love with Kai and Wyatt and wish this book could have gone on longer so we got to see their relationship blossom a little bit more, cause they were so good together.
Looking forward to seeing how Rose grows in the next book.

I won’t lie, I’ve loved this entire series so far & a pack of mistletoe was such an amazing addition.
I absolutely loved Rose & her alphas, they all have their own personalities & that really shines through which is sometimes lost in a why choose. I also love all of the relationships between them not just with Rose but with each other too.
I love how cozy these books are.

This was everything I could have asked from a Christmas book! The relationships develope through the beginning of the book without feeling so much like the instalove that permeates Omegaverse. You get to meet and see the budding childhood feelings between one MMC and the FMC but also get to see the work being by other MMCs who just met her. You also get to see prior relationships work through trouble and new connections being forged. Overall this book was one of forgiveness, and overcoming your past to look towards the future and what better backdrop than that of the holiday season!
November 13, 2025
Oh my gosh!! My heart broke for Rose but also I’m SO SO SO damn happy she get her HEA!!
Harlan, Logan, Evander, Kai, Wyatt are her alphas though it starts fake they all develop feelings for her and when her scent comes through and they learn the truth is just amazing!!
It’s such a fun holiday romance, and I just love this entire omegaverse series!!
Super grateful I was able to ARC read it!

I just adore every single of the cozy Omegaverse books I read from her.

Absolutely recommend it if you like Why-choose and omegaverse stories !

I loved how we learnt more about Rose and her past, I really liked her in the previous books and enjoyed reading about her journey to get her happy ending.

Rose has a lot going in her life. She’s trying to figure out how best to keep herself safe from her family when an alpha from her past shows up in town. Once she learns more about Kai’s pack and why they’re in town, she comes up with a plan to help all of them out. In the process of her omega re-emerging, they all discover how much they could all mean to each other. I loved the found family aspect how they all immediately wanted to help Rose and help take care of her. Loved it!!!

so so good
Such a great Omegaverse story!
I love larger packs. You know what I love more? When there are interpack relations between the alphas before the omega comes into the picture!!!!!
And this pack has 2!!!!!!!!!
Highly highly recommend!

I enjoyed this one the most out of the three I've read in this series. Rose was an interesting character and I liked following her journey. The touch of suspense was nice.
December 17, 2025
It was OK
I feel like as these books have gone on, the author felt the need to up the spice & situations without any real reason. I’m not a prude by any means but as these number of alphas have increased in the books, the permutations of their relationships have also increased, which kind of takes it away from the alpha/omega relationship. To be honest, I’m a little worried about what the last book is going to contain because I seem to recall the blurb saying there were going to be *more* alphas.
Sometimes less is more.

All the holiday feels! This one hooked me from the start.
Found Family
Bull Rider Alpha Cowboy
Alpha Daddy
Small Town
Fake bonding
Omega Heat
Christmas Cheer
Always looking over her shoulder, Rose is an Omega in hiding. She does not want to be found but someone is getting close. When she thinks about fleeing again, a perfect opportunity arises. Fake bonding in exchange for protection. Cue the Sterling Pack!
The Sterling Pack… 5 alphas with all unique personalities. Let’s just say that as soon as a cowboy hat wearing alpha showed up, I did not put the book down! All five alphas are H.O.T hot and vow to protect Rose no matter what. When past life catches up to Rose and her alphas, links are put together, but can they stay together?
Of course this is a HEA! How could it not be with the delicious scents, Christmas lists and activities… and group activities. This was one Holiday to remember for the Sterling Pack. Oh, and did I mention… an Omega in heat? Spice was spicy!
Loved every aspect of the book and I look forward to the next one.
This is a series of interconnected stand alone. I have read all of them and loved every single one!
