All I dreamed of was escaping, so I planned, I observed, and I endured.
When the opportunity to flee crossed my path, I took my children and we ran from the cruel alpha who bonded me against my will.
Fate led us to a ranch where we could be safe, where we could hide…where finding a home might be possible.
I never realized that once I had my freedom, it wouldn’t be enough. The life I could build there seemed too good to be true, and years of mistreatment at the compound taught me it's dangerous to want more.
Were their sweet words real? Was an omega actually willing to share his pack? Could alphas truly have a gentle touch?
No matter how much I craved them, I might never be able to heal from the trauma of my past. The world I left behind wouldn’t let me go so easily, and my former alpha would rather put me in the ground than see me happy.
Knot Her Ranchers is a part of the Big Sky Omegas Universe.
Knot Her Ranchers definitely tugged on the heartstrings. A single mom omega on the run/in hiding with her three kids finds solace with some familiar faces. Watching this pack grow and heal together was absolutely beautiful. This one might be my favorite in the series so far.

Another great omegaverse book in the interconnected standalone series. So glad for this series after seeing a glimpse of Maisie in the previous book. There is trauma and escape from a toxic cult situation. I really enjoyed this storyline and how it all works out. I am looking forward to the next book to see what happens with the compound. Plenty of spice and scent matching.
An absolutely beautiful story of healing and found family!

(Please check before reading)
After making a desperate run from a toxic cult compound, Maisie takes a massive gamble to shield her three young children from an abusive future. Her bravery pays off when she finds a safe haven hidden on the Ballor Land Conservation Trust. Having briefly met Maisie back in Riley’s book, Knot Her Cowboys, I was absolutely dying to see how her own story would unfold. We get to watch her long, delicate road to recovery as she is taken in by the trust residents—alphas Wyatt and Colt, along with their bonded omega, Carter. They have also taken in Bryan, an alpha from a collapsed pack who is their fated scent match, but has been struggling too much with his own trauma to fully accept his place, that is until Maisie’s arrival.
Carter’s wonderful family adds massive comfort, especially his mother, who instantly steps in as a doting grandma, spoiling Maisie & the kids rotten. It is a beautiful sanctuary with doting men, wonderful dogs, horses and roaming bison, but the shadow of the disgusting Decker clan looms large over everyone, and their sanctuary is finally shattered when Maisie's father and her vile ex, Paul, finally rear their ugly heads.
This story was so beautiful to read, and I loved every second of it. Maisie is a magnificent omega—fierce, resilient, and so unbelievably brave for choosing freedom over subjugation. What worked so beautifully for me was the realistic pacing of her recovery. She doesn't just instantly fall into the pack's arms; instead, her relationships develop at completely different speeds as her inner confidence grows. The exception to this is Carter, but that is only because he happens to be her long-lost childhood love whom she originally left behind to protect him from Paul's nasty threats. Wyatt also plays a brilliant part by cleverly timing brief, "accidental" meetings in town, so between Carter & Wyatt it gives Maisie the foundational safety net she needs to start letting her guard down and trusting the pack. The men are beautifully patient with her, always offering choices and moving entirely at her pace to slowly dismantle her emotional, physical, and mental trauma.
The internal dynamics are flawless, and I loved how effortlessly the existing group just enveloped both Maisie and Bryan into their circle without an ounce of hesitation. The bond between the two omegas, Carter and Maisie, is another massive highlight. Since they already share a deep childhood history, it acts as a wonderful bridge for her trust. It was also incredible to see Maisie and Bryan connect so deeply over their shared mutual trauma, creating a soft, understanding space that helps Bryan finally find his footing.
Then, there are the children and the animals, which completely stole the show. Seeing these massive alphas be so gentle and patient with the children, modelling exactly what a loving father figure should look like, had me ah-ing and oh-ing all the way through the pages. Colt, the eldest at eight years old, has the most conditioning to unlearn after what he witnessed and suffered on the compound, and the pack's tender handling of his healing was deeply moving. The dogs on the land are absolutely adorable too; Foxtrot, Whiskey, and Tango each essentially adopt a specific child to watch over, and it is the sweetest thing when they trail off at bedtime entirely unprompted to sleep on their chosen kid's bed or guard little Nora's crib.
If I have one extremely minor niggle, it is the maddening frustration that the police cannot legally dismantle the Decker compound yet. I know it drives the overarching story, but WOW, do I want to see that place burn to the ground. Luckily, the angsty climax with Paul and her father is wrapped up quickly without being drawn out, delivering an incredibly satisfying resolution.
This is a wonderful heartwarming addition to the series. Seeing Riley and Morgan make brief appearances with their packs was a lovely treat, and the introduction to Theo and Natalie has me excited for the next book. It is the perfect hurt-to-comfort romance for anyone who loves protective alphas and found-family themes.
A slow burn, second chance, contemporary omegaverse romance, with a few darker themes.
Trapped by the cult she was born into through an unwanted bond that was forced upon her, she has no way of escaping. Every time she thought about running the bonded alpha forced her to have another child, and she won’t leave her now three children to this terrible place. When an opportunity arrives she takes her chance to flee and ends up at the home of her childhood sweetheart and his alphas. They had recently taken in another stray scent match that was escaping a terrible situation himself.
The FMC is such a sweet soul that was always doing everything she could to make sure those she loved stayed safe. She couldn’t run before the unwanted bond was forced on her as she was threatened with the life another. Once she had her children she couldn’t get away as she was never allowed to have all of them with her when she left the compound. Although she is a sweet soul, she also has such a strength, never giving up the thought of someday getting away, and finally finding that path with some well placed help.
There was one sweet alpha that she had a connection with in town, but with how tight the cult kept her leash there was no way for her to accept it. When she finally got away an unfortunate accident caused her car to end up in a ditch not nearly far enough away from the compound, but luckily another sweet alpha offered her help. It’s in that home where she found her childhood sweetheart who presented as an omega along with his alphas, one of which is the one from town. Fate made sure she and her children had all the support and kindness from this incredibly well balanced pack who also happen to be her scent matches.
There is an early accidental bonding while she explores her comfort level with intimacy, but things slow down after that. We get loads of tension and yearning as she explores her connections between the alphas and the wonderful omega is an incredible mediator. Her past made intimacy something forced on her so it’s a slow discovery of what she enjoys and wants.
This book addresses some darker themes, so make sure to check your triggers. The FMC has a trauma filled past that we get some details on when she shares things with the MMCs, and while most of the present story is sweeter we do get some intense action packed moments towards the end. It’s also at the end that we get our most spicy scenes and enjoy the connections they have all built.
This a book all about furthering of the relationships of the MCs and helping the FMC and her children understand their new reality in a safe environment of this pack. There is a lot of growth they go through as they learn to navigate a space meant to nurture and not tear down. Again, some plot issues seem to be dropped until all of a sudden they resurface to push forward the connection of the MMCs with the FMC. We get an action packed moment toward the end that was expected, which was followed up by so much more sweetness and spice that I absolutely ate up.
I really enjoyed this story, and we got a great tease about the next possibly story in the epilogue of this one!
I've been waiting for Maisie's book since her character was first introduced in the previous book. I knew it was going to be an emotional one, but surprisingly not as heavy.
The fecking Deckers. I got an inkling of how bad they were in the previous books, but Maisie's story has made things startlingly clear. The physical, emotional, and mental abuse of all the innocents in that compound had to be endured, and it was horrific. I wanted to rage on behalf of all the innocents. Maisie is a brave woman. The cult was all she knew, but she got herself and her children out. Leaving behind everything and everyone had to have been hard, but she was determined to give her children a better life.
The pack that she stumbled across was fated. A shot at a second chance romance and scent matches those who treat her children and her like the precious gifts that they are. All the guys were beyond amazing, cue me swooning. They are very careful and respect any boundaries that may come up. They're exactly what Maisie needed. Even Bryan, who was introduced in the previous book. I like him this time around. It wasn't until this book that I got the full scope of what he's been through. While his and Maisie's situations are different, there were enough similarities that had me feeling for the alpha. The kiddos made my day. I absolutely adored them. Some of my favorite moments were with them. How could they not warm my heart?
Of course, the cult stuff was interesting. I'm finally getting an inside look that really puts things in perspective. The combination of a woman on the run, with kids mixed in with new relationship dynamics, and then add in a lost alpha trying to find his way, the story was nothing short of attention-stealing. I hated that it took me two days to read this one. It was incredible. The Deckers are absolute a-holes, and I love it when they get what's coming to them. I will admit I am (good) surprised by how it was accomplished this time around. Still, it is so satisfying. Big Sky Omegas is a fantastic series that keeps getting better. Knot Her Ranchers was a terrific addition. I hope there's more to come.
4.5 ⭐️ Great Read!! There’s angst, spice, healing & comfort. It’s a slow burn and it’s also an emotional roller coaster. This does have some dark topics and content so be sure to check the TWs.
All the MMCs (Carter, Wyatt, Colt & Bryan) want is to help her, care for her and do anything they can to make her feel safe (this includes her child as well)… even before they realized she was their scent match. They never push too hard, always letting her figure things out at her pace and only doing things she feels comfortable doing. Like seriously, they are the sweetest MMCs….. even the alpha who doesn’t think he deserves it, Bryan. This alpha is trying to find himself again while also trying to find penance for his past mistakes. He’s also trying to find out where he belongs and how he could possibly contribute to this pack.
I loved the relationships between the MMCs and the children. Cody being the oldest had the hardest time adjusting to being off the compound and away from his dad…. But the MMCs had their own ways and experiences to help him through his emotions.
All the relationships develop at different rates for both Maisie and Bryan.
No cheating, no OWD but ‘drama’ from her Ex, no third act breakup with a HEA
* Second Chance with High School Sweetheart * Scent Matches * MMMMF / AAAOO * Single Mom * 3 Adorable Children * Omega on the Run from Abusive Alpha * Escaping from a a Cult * 3 Adorable Dogs * Hurt / Comfort
‘She had broken free from one cage, and I knew she was busy hammering away at the door to another. If we were patient, we would one day get the privilege of seeing her spread her wings.’
“Hold on to the last stone,” Wyatt said quietly. “What we’ve been through will always be with us, but it doesn’t have to define us. We can surrender our hurts to the river, but we always keep one stone, a reminder of all we survived. The burden is lighter, but we choose to carry it and acknowledge the strength it takes to do so.”
Lexie - girl, what are you putting in your books? Every time I read your books, I can’t put them down and I feel like I have to read them in one sitting. They’re so addictive that I finished this in one day even while working a full 8-hour shift. The spicy scenes were read very brazenly in the breakroom.
Maisie’s story kind of picks up a little bit after Riley’s story ended. It actually made me so happy that Maisie got to tell her story. The previous two skirted around the Deckers with Riley’s got to be a little bit closer but Maisie’s story goes into what went on behind the walls of the compound and how omegas were really treated.
This story was a bit of a rough read in the sense that Maisie had to learn how to heal from the trauma and the ideologies that were inflicted upon her psyche. Running from her abuser wasn’t easy but definitely having people support her in her journey made it much more bearable. She is so brave for leaving and I commend her for making sure she got her kids out as well. This was as much of a healing experience for her kids as it was for her.
I would be lying if I didn’t tear up a couple of times while reading this. Tears waited patiently until I was home.
Carter being Maisie’s high school sweetheart was such a sweet detail. It really showed that Maisie did have true love before her life with what’s-his-face (¬ࡇ¬). I also loved that this ended up being a double omega pack (i’m a sucker for those)
I feel like Bryan’s journey from the events of Riley’s story to the events of Knot Her Ranchers definitely ran parallel to Maisie’s. His healing was seen a little differently than what we see Maisie go through but he does heal. I love that Bryan finds his purpose with helping Maisie and the kids.
Colt and Wyatt. They are just the big protectors that are teddy bears for their loved ones. They would ride or die for them and honestly they make me swoon every time they interact intimately with Maisie, Bryan or Carter. My heart melts more with how they treat the kids too.
Knot Her Ranchers is a story in the author’s Big Sky Omegas series. Although it can be read as a standalone, reading it before books one or two will spoil parts of those books. This sweet omegaverse meets cowboy romance features an omega on the run from her abusive husband. I received an advance review copy and my thoughts are my own. Thank you to the author for my eArc.
Tropes and themes include: ✨Sweet omegaverse ✨Cowboy romance ✨Why choose (mmmfm) ✨Established pack with a recent addition ✨Swoonworthy MMCs ✨Momma omega with three little ones ✨Heats and knots ✨Scent matches ✨Two omegas ✨Accidental bonding ✨Omega on the run ✨Adorable (& protective) dogs ✨Multi, first person POV
Rating: 4/5 Stars 3/5 Flames
The Lovely: I absolutely loved how this pack treated the FMC (and her kiddos) and how each MMC played to his strengths and personality. They all want to not only care and love her but want to protect her and make her feel safe too. There are a lot of hurt/comfort/healing vibes mixed with heaps of spice and caregiving for a perfect combo.
The Mundane: It felt to me as though the plot tension was uneven and there wasn’t much build up to the climax. When it finally did happen, it seemed to me liked it was resolved too easily/quickly.
Recommendation: While I don’t read sweet omegaverse frequently I love this author’s writing and her hurt/comfort vibes. This hit the spot as a standalone in a series because it was easy to get into and I still got to see cameos of characters I loved from prior books. If you like sweet omegaverse with an omega on the run and two omegas in the pack, I think you’d like this book.
oh my god- maisie, her kids, and pack have all of my heart and soul. their love for one another is pure and beyond precious. Maisie is incredibly resilient. She had enough courage to get out of a bad situation, to give both her and her children a much better life. But in toll with that, she also found her forever chosen family. All of the men in her pack are golden. Top tier men in my opinion. They each have so much love, patience, and respect for her. They let her take things at her pace, and never pushed her for more. And on top of that: they accepted her and her children with no hesitation. The men loved both her and her kids from the start. They always were up to pitch in and help. They didn’t help with her kids because they needed to, but because they wanted to. Because they were true fathers. I cried so hard when certain words were said. Oh my god it broke me in the best way. I absolutely love when OV books have two omegas, and Maisie and Carter- might as well give them the heart from my chest. They took the time to teach her how to be loved loudly and softly. That love wasn’t locking someone away, but cuddles by the fire and patience. This story is so incredibly sweet. The last chapter had me sobbing like a kid who had their candy stolen. The characters in this, deserve the world. Lexie Quinn always kills it with her books, and this was just spectacular💜 I’m now on the edge of freaking seat for Theo’s story!!! I need it asap!!!
This is a great book. It gives an incredibly nuanced insight into religious fanaticism, coercive control, abusive relationships and bystander effects.
Plus, I freaking love that they called the dogs Whiskey Tango Foxtrot - WTF.
And its so much more than a great book. This book is literally going to save lives. And I don't say that lightly.
Hidden in the covers, beneath the presence of frothy female smut, is a road map out of abusive relationships for women who believe they will never be free of them. That they are stuck in them because of their kids.
This is something an abuser wouldn't notice. It's free on kindle unlimited, so it isn't itemized on the bill. And even if they did, they would think of it dismissively.
They would have no idea of the power of the information in there.
The guidance is, frankly, better than what's available almost anywhere else. It guides on ways to stash money without the abuser noticing, places people like to hide trackers, the need to stay within state lines to avoid kidnapping charges, the need to manage your emotions so they don't get any warning. To not turn off your phone, but leave it on and somewhere they won't get suspicious.
And it paints a picture of how someone who is terrified and downtrodden and abused can still reclaim their agency and save themselves - and their children - from abuse.
And it shows how dangerous it is for women to leave their abusers.
Maisie has been through it If this is your first in this interconnected, Big Sky Omegas, standalone series, be aware there are some triggers in here that I recommend you read. Now, I do recommend that you read them in order, though it probably not strictly necessary, but having the character backgrounds definitely helps in my opinion. I am so ready for this cultish compound to be taken down, ugh it's so frustrating. Maisie has trauma from her alpha Paul and how he bonded her, and how she and the others are treated in the compound. Until the day she decides to get out with her kids. She finally has a chance and she ends up in the ditch. A good samaritan comes along, Bryan, and takes her and the kids back to where he's been staying. Which just so happens to be the home of her childhood sweetheart, Carter, and the friendly alpha from town that she knows, Wyatt. She meets their packmate Colt, and Bryan has been staying with them and is the packs scent match. Maisie and her kids stay with them until she can get her feet under her.....and it just so happens that even though her first lost Carter is also an omega, she happens to be their scent match as well. Moderately spicy and a lot sweet, I definitely enjoyed this book, but like I said, I'm ready for the end of the Decker compound!
What a beautiful story filled with growth, healing and so much love
Maisie grew up in the cült but she dreamed of a better life for her and her children. When she finds an opportunity to escape with all of her children she takes it. With no idea where to go or if she will make it she takes the leap. An unfortunate run in with an animal leads her to Bryan who takes her back to the ranch he is staying at.
I absolutely loved how she ended up with a couple of people she knew as well as connected to some of her other family. Her first love was this packs Omega and he still loved her.
Watching Bryan blossom with the kids was so beautiful. The entire pack is so quick to take to parenting and showing Masie how a real pack cares for each other.
I loved the strength Masie has. She did the hardest things with no guarantees about the outcome. She knew her children deserved better and she was determined to give them that. She could not have found a better place to land.
I loved how the scent matches were able to dull the bond she had with the kids sperm donor. Then what her first chosen bond was able to do to shield her was perfect. This pack comes together as a gathering of scent matched misfits trying to find themselves and becomes something beautiful. Even with the threats that were always lingering they found hope and love.
Letting Go And Opening Up How to outgrow a life that’s chosen for you and start to live your own life. That is what Maisie and Bryan are able to do with the help of Carter, Wyatt and Cole. Their pack had a gift for taking in the lost and lonely and, of course, all of them being scent matches makes accepting everything much easier. Their history, where they came from, was anything but easy. Maisie lived in a cult, forced to marry one of the men and have children with him so he could manipulate her. No special care for an omega, just force and penance. Bryan was manipulated by his parents and the partner they forced on him. (His story is told in the previous book in this series Knot Her Cowboys.) As with the other books this story is full of psychological problems and how to work through them. It’s so beautifully written, with a lot of understanding what these mean for the person who is standing in the middle of them. The three men in the pack are so honest, caring and loving, it’s a dream to read about them. And of course, their interaction is hot! There is laughter and fun amidst horror and misery. Highly recommended. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I’m a sucker for the trope that deals with an abused heroine finding love & safety with good men. Something about the hurt/comfort thing just gets me every time, and Lexie hit all the feels with Maisie’s story. I’m a domestic abuse survivor myself, and I can honestly say that the way Lexie handles Maisie’s reactions & healing process was pretty spot on & realistic. I was able to very quickly connect to Maisie, and seeing her journey to healing, with the help of the amazing men she finds, was almost therapeutic for me too. With each chapter, you could feel the pain, anger, and frustration that Maisie faced because of the bond she still had connecting her to her abuser, but that just showed how strong she really was. When you add in the patience, strength, caring, and compassion the men showed her & her kids, the balance just felt right. Just so you know, you can totally read this on its own, but things will make just a bit more sense (and hit a touch harder), if you’ve read the 1st two books in the series. I personally loved everything about this book, and can confidently say that it is an emotional roller coaster ride that I definitely plan on revisiting 💜
This book had me on the verge of tears almost immediately. From the very first chapters, my heart absolutely broke for the FMC and everything she endured. Her pain felt so real, and I was completely invested in her journey from the start.
Watching her slowly learn to trust again after years of abuse and manipulation was one of the most rewarding character arcs I've read. She didn't heal overnight, and that's what made it so powerful. Every small step toward believing she deserved kindness, safety, and love felt earned. Seeing her finally open her heart, not just to the man she was forced to leave behind years ago, but to an entire pack that genuinely cherished and protected her, was incredibly heartwarming.
I also loved that her children remained at the center of everything she did. Her determination to give them a better life made her such a strong, admirable heroine, even when she didn't see her own strength.
This story is emotional, intense, and filled with moments that will make you ache right alongside the characters, but it's also full of hope, healing, and found family. If you love romances where love is earned, trust is rebuilt piece by piece, and survivors get the happiness they fought so hard for, this is one you don't want to miss.
I love me a good slow burn. It is probably my favorite trope. What sucked me into the book was the the FMC was a single mother trapped in a cult that she was born into. The strength that she had to plan and execute her escape with little to no idea where she was going to land was so brave. I also really like that the author showed the downside to the bond that the FMC had to suffer through. It was crazy how her alpha could feel all her emotions and she could feel his. I went into this book mostly blind except that there were cowboys and that it was an omegaverse. I did not get a chance to read the previous 2 books before starting this one. I would definitely recommend reading the first 2 books since there were a few key plot references they kept referring to. But I still enjoyed the heck out of it. The FMC was so sweet, and my heart hurt for her with how her husband/bonded would torture her. I rated this a 3.5 star because there were some of the alphas that I wasn't a huge fan of. They did nothing wrong, it was just I could not connect with them. There were a few alphas she had a sizzling connection with, while with others it just awkward. It was a fun read, and I love me some cowboy alphas. I will definitely keep an eye for her next books!
This was such a great read that journeys from the darkness of escaping a cruel cult to healing and the possibility of true love. Maisie plots and plans, and with some help from her mother, manages to escape the compound with all three of her children. Sadly, a car breakdown doesn't get her very far from 'home'... A pack of three alphas and a male omega offer her refuge and thus begins the healing. Maisie was thrilled that omega Carter, her crush from high school, was a member of the pack that took her in. That she'd been crushing on alpha Wyatt whenever she went to town was definitely an added bonus ;P I really loved seeing Maisie's kids bloom under the tender care of the men, and also Maisie, herself. The cruelties of her forced alpha mate crushed my heart. As love and passion bloomed between Maisie and the guys, her father and alpha mate show up to bring her home... Be prepared to feel all the feels when you dive into this gripping read of healing, drama, danger, action, chemistry and steam as she finally gets the HEA she deserves. So good and I can't wait for what's next by this author :D
Firstly check the trigger warnings, while this is an amazing story, it really hits close to home and draws out all the emotions, so grab the tissues and a stiff drink.
What a rollercoaster ride this was, I felt for Maisie and all she went through, although I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, heart in throat when it did . I loved seeing Bryan again, man that Alpha truly grew and changed, I think meeting Maisie and the kids was exactly what he needed to push through the last of his guilt and pain, so seeing him heal and grow was as awe inspiring as seeing Maisie step into her own.
The pack, Carter, Wyatt and Colt step up and be there for both Bryan and Maisie bought tears to my eyes, all three were so patient, caring and just down right awesome people I couldn't help but fall for them.
That ending though, oh my its so seriously cant wait for the next book in this series.
Maisie's escape to finding her happy ever after with her pack was just wonderful to follow. The relationships were all built slowly which made sense because of what Maisie was forced to endure in the commune. Her kids had such cute moments throughout the book with the dogs, horses and bisons. The alphas actually spending time with the kids too was just so sweet! Wyatt had bonding time with Maisie when she would run errands in the town, Carter was her childhood sweetheart but Colt and Bryan were new but still had sweet moments of bonding here and there. I'm so happy Bryan finally got his happy ever after and you could feel his remorse through the pages as you read on.
Paul got a satisfying ending, was so pleased with that! Can't wait to read about Theo and Natalie and their pack! This was such a good standalone, can easily recommend this universe!
I think this book is so beautifully crafted in sense where we are painfully aware of how much Maisie has suffered and her kids, it’s so heartbreaking but the way the author wrote this with such a powerful message and tenderness and compassion!
But also the balance of the story is amazingly well done, because through all the trauma processing and healing that this momma has to do with her kids, is the fact that she’s forming a connection with this beautiful pack full of incredible attentive and loving alphas who are devoted to her and her children since minute one.
I simply adore this men, the were all so patient and caring, there were zero doubts about them being smitten by this little family so reading how they formed a bond with Maisie but even more delicate, with her kids… ugh was amazing!
This story is very heartbreaking as is beautiful, sweet and meaningful!
Maisie!!!!! If you’ve been reading this series from the start, you know those Deckers are nothing but trouble. If you haven’t started this series…..I highly recommend the first two books. . My heart has been aching for Maisie and her little ones since we met her. To say I’m elated to have her book in my hands is an understatement. When the opportunity for Maisie to get her and her littles free from her awful alpha, she takes it. Carter, an Omega with a heart of gold, and his pack are ready to become Maisie’s safe space. Maisie has a long road to recovery, she’s lived through some pretty dark experiences at the hands of her previous alpha. I love that her journey wasn’t rushed. I love that the kids were a big part of this story. Their feelings and reactions were taken into account and I think it was very well done. There were some hints dropped for the next book and I am so excited!
Knot Her Ranchers follows the FMC [Maisie] and her three children [Cody, Paisley, and Nora] as they escape from the cult she was raised in and the abusive marriage she was forced into. Fate finds her reuniting with her childhood love [Carter, omega] and his alphas [Wyatt, Colt, and Bryan]. Told from all POV, the story is one of healing and overcoming trauma, with the most green-flag MMCs who know how to communicate. Most of the spice is in the second half of the book, which makes sense for an FMC dealing with SA trauma. The kids are absolutely precious and I really liked the MMCs, especially Bryan who had his own trauma to overcome. Overall, the book is incredibly sweet and while Maisie’s past is pretty dark, it doesn’t happen on page. Fans of Jillian West will love Knot Her Ranchers! I received an ARC of this book :)

I’ve been waiting for this since Maisie was introduced and it did not disappoint!!
The more we learn about Maisie’s past the more heartbreaking her story is. Being trapped in a cult she not only has herself to worry about but her three children.
These men are all so gentle and perfect for Maisie and her children! They might not have expected it but they adapted beautifully to having children around. They created their own unique bonds with each child.
We see the struggles of pack dynamics and family dynamics through the book. They were so important and made it feel even more realistic!
Things aren’t perfect and it isn’t always pretty but slowly they create their own family.
I've been waiting so long to read Maisie's story. She deserved the happiest of endings, and Lexie delivered! It made me laugh, and it absolutely made me cry. Maisie went through sooooo much, but her new pack took such amazing care of her and her sweet children.
This is an emotional read, please check TW because it deals with some heavy themes, but Ms. Quinn always packs in the most love, spice, and healing for her FMCs. Maisie leaves an abusive marriage and stumbles right into the arms of her dream pack.
-Found family. -Male omega plus 3 sexy alphas. -FMC healing journey (fleeing a cult with her 3 children.) -Double omega pack. -Second chance romance with high school sweetheart. -Cute dogs (and bisons.) -So much love and tender care. -SPICE, SPICE, SPICE!
I am been waiting to find out what will happen with Maisie since a Riley’s book and wasn’t disappointed. Not only do we find out about Maisie but we finally to find out if Bryan gets his forgiveness as well. Maisie’s book is about resiliency, determination and forgiveness. She has had a difficult life, which is an understatement. The things she thinks are normal are there to make her feel smaller and get her under control. This is Bryan’s redemption arc and it makes me smile how he rises to the challenge. Carter is her high school sweetheart and they re-click instantly along with their love story. I like Colt and Wyatt, but I feel the only thing missing is more time on the page for their characters. This is a great read and leads in to another interesting story…
This was such a sweet and heartbreaking read. I love how fate worked in this.
Maisie has such a dark life but is so strong for her kids, but it has left her with a lot of baggage to wade through. Bryan, from Riley's story, also has a lot of baggage he is working through. My heart hurt for him so much, but I loved seeing him heal and forgive himself.
Carter, Wyatt, and Cole are everything. Strong, patient, kind, and so supportive. I loved them so much.
This could be a great read for anxious readers but there is a part that will kick up your panic, it is over pretty quickly so for me it was fine.
This is a very heavy emotional read. This is a story that I enjoyed reading. This book is a roller coaster of emotions and trauma’s.
All I dreamed of was escaping, so I planned, I observed, and I endured. I never realized that once I had my freedom, it wouldn’t be enough. The life I could build there seemed too good to be true, and years of mistreatment at the compound taught me it's dangerous to want more. No matter how much I craved them, I might never be able to heal from the trauma of my past. The world I left behind wouldn’t let me go so easily, and my former alpha would rather put me in the ground than see me happy.
Knot Her Ranchers is where readers get Maisie's story. She's Rylie's half sister and she's was trapped with the Deckers. But now it's her time to find her freedom.
It was inspirational to see Maisie take a chance to escape. Taking her kids and running from the life that was forced on her. And when she find Carter, it warmed my heart. The fact that he has two alphas, and another that's trying to heal his own wounds, is just a bonus. They are so sweet and slowly help Maisie and hers kids find happiness again. And Bryan is trying to find a way to redeem himself after what happened with Rylie. Carter is a sweet determined omega. Cole and Wyatt are supportive and kind, being there for the pack they know is theirs.
I really like Maisie. She's been repeatedly mistreated for so long, and is in such an impossible situation, but she is still so strong. The minute she gets a chance she is determined to find somewhere safer and better for her kids, and herself. It's a lot of emotions to experience throughout the book, but I think she is a great character.
And she has found such a great pack. Well they are kind of messy with issues and past badness of their own. But they all fit together so well. They learn how to be strong and supportive and enjoy each others weaknesses and strengths. It's all so many feelings and I enjoyed it so much.
This is the third book in the Big Sky Omegas. I loved the previous books so I knew I would love this book as well. Lexie Quinn is amazing and I try to read everything she writes. This was a heartbreaking read. This book had me crying which I had not expected. I knew it would tug at the heartstrings but I wasn’t expecting the yank it gave. The story was beautifully written and a joy to read. All of the characters draw you in, not just the FMC and the MMCs. Thank you. Lexie Quinn, it was a wonderful read and I loved the characters. I need to know what happened to some of the characters that were mentioned. I hope we see them in their own books soon!
