#1 Bestselling Author Veronica Samek

Winnie never expected forever to bite back.

She’s watched all her friends bond with their mates. She’s happy for them, but if she’s being honest, a little lonely. A weekend bachelorette trip for her sister’s wedding only makes that loneliness harder to ignore.

During a terrifying moment at a nightclub, an alpha steps in to protect her. He’s tall, forbidding, covered in tattoos and leather. His scent crashes into hers like fate. He’s the match she never thought she’d find.

But things get messy. Winnie is accidentally bitten. Panicked, she flees back to Lakeside Point, desperate to reclaim the life she had before. Instead, she finds herself consumed by a bond she never asked for.

As if that weren’t complicated enough, the town’s sheriff, her quiet and steady neighbor, was once the dominant alpha of the pack her biter belongs to.

Now he must summon his old pack and face a past he never healed. And Winnie must decide if she can forgive the sheriff, his pack, and the bond itself, or if it’s already too late.

A Pack of Leather is a cozy but spicy small-town omegaverse romance featuring accidental bites, biker alphas, and a sweet omega who refuses to stop believing in love. HEA guaranteed.

This standalone romance is part of the Omega Book Club series. Each book can be read on its own, but reading in order adds extra fun with recurring cameos and light spoilers.

Ugh this book was so cute. I loved seeing a broken pack find its way back together thanks to Winnie. She was so sweet and I've been looking forward to her book since the beginning. This book also made me cry at heartbreaking moments, wishing things could be different. I can't wait to read this author's future books.

*arc review*

okay the final (?) book of the omega book club and again, truly a masterpiece. since book ONE i was waiting for sweet winnie’s story and i actually loved that it was last- one of the best things about this series and is that it can be really easy to fall into the trap of omegaverse/RH tropes with the characters and plot lines but this series is always so inventive with each book and the characters and plot lines
i loved that the pack were all tattoo artists (minus corbin) and the underlying conflict was so devastating that when i found out i teared up a bit
truly a warm and cozy series full of hot men and boyfriends with heats, ruts, and lots of groveling always (by the men ofc) so what’s not to love??
veronica is a must read author for me and i love getting arcs bc i was truly impatient for every book in this series

*spoilers

can we talk about the accidental bite??? i don’t consider myself new to the omegaverse but how have i never read an accidental bite situation??? it was amazing

overall: 5/5
spice: 3.5/5

ARC Review

I really loved this book I literally read it in day. I enjoyed the controversial start with the accidental bond compared to the first books in the series.

I would’ve preferred if we could’ve learnt a bit more about Eli’s backstory about why he wears the mask and has issues with sound as well as a bit more detail into his and Rafe’s relationship.

I liked the complex relationship between Corbin and the rest of the pack, how they learnt to forgive each other. I would’ve enjoyed a bit more detail into how they rebuilt their relationship and learnt to trust each other again especially between Corbin and Gage; I would’ve also enjoyed more insight into Nick and his relationship with Rafe I feel like that was especially skipped over quite quickly, but I loved the tribute Winnie paid to him and how we still felt like he was a part of their story.

I will say I didn’t really enjoy some of the nicknames one MMC called her ‘softness’ there was no context provided as to why and it feels a bit random to me. Another called her ’Blossom’ which isn’t a favourite either but this series has a recurring theme with usual nicknames.

Overall I will say I loved this book although it felt a bit rushed at times however it was a perfect way to complete the series and is a great read.

I’m so excited to see what Veronica comes up with next! Thank you for the advanced copy!

Ok, how cute was that?!?! I’m a huge fan of this series, so when the ARC came I was so excited. I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for Winnie’s story. This series is just the right blend of character development, world building, spice, and humor that I’m looking for in my omegaverse books. If you are looking for a closed door/fade to black series, this does have quite a bit of spice. But, it’s healthy, consensual relationships where the characters respect each other. This was a quick read, but so much fun. Extra props goes to the development of Eli and how the pack supports him.

。˚. 🌺I was kindly sent an ARC Copy 🌺。˚.

Another great addition to the Omega Book Club series! I wanted to savour every single moment with this book so took my time reading it. I fell in love with Eli, I adored seeing how everyone interacted with him and was there when he needed them. That one moment with Winnie’s mum at a family dinner had me smiling so much, it was such a beautiful and sweet moment of understanding and acceptance.

And the scene in the woods with helmets omg I was hooked, stayed up way too late enjoying it! Winnie had a spicy side which I didn’t expect! Neither did her men which was very fun to see!

Deputy is adorable and again the support he gave Eli from the get go was so sweet and I just loved seeing them together. Any moment with that dog had me smiling like an idiot!
Overall I am once again in love with this series and I can’t get enough of these characters! There was so much growth and love in this and I adored every second of it!

3.8/5🌟
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Release date: Feb 17🎉


- I really enjoy these omega book club stories. They are sweet and spicy, and so easy to read.
- If you like why choose (MMFMMM), accidental bonding, forced proximity, masked primal play and heat care.
- I love that this has a unique twist on a pack finding their omega trope. It warmed my heart to see Winnie heal the Blackline pack.
- The men are very different from one another. I particularly enjoyed learning about Eli and his sensory sensitivities.


- I think the men stole the show! Winnie is very sweet and she has a big loving family, but unfortunately she is a bit forgettable for me.
- I kept waiting for a little excitement with the sketchy puppy mill owner, but alas this is a fluffy and low angst story.

Oh my goodness each one kept getting better and better. I love that each pack is perfect for the omega, and Winnie’s pack is no difference. But the first meal together had me laughing on the support from the book club 😂. And cried happy tears for the nest, that was perfect. Oh and the spider 😂😂😂😂😂. I am really sad that this was the last of the girls from the book club packing up, but excited to see what else Veronica Samek has next! Fingers crossed more omegaverse… (life of Stella, right? 😉😂)

Thank you to Veronica for giving me an ARC for my honestly review. I need to go reread the whole series now again to see if any Easter eggs come up that I overlooked.

The final book of “omegas book club”. Takes place on the west coast or northern Michigan, south of Traverse City. Winnie is our final omega to find her pack, which she does when she accidentally bites her scent match at her sisters bachelorette party. The remainder of the book is of Winnie getting to know each of her mates and helping them heal past trauma. It is a sweet ending to this series.

Lots of “getting to know you” smeggsy time, ending with a heat and bonding the remainder of the pack.

Accidental mating bites end up being the catalyst to bringing a broken pack back together. All because of one very special omega. I loved everything about this book. I would totally reread it again because of all the different levels of emotional that are unraveled. This very well may be my favorite book of the series.

This book actually made me really sad! I loved it. I loved how the pack came together and how Corbin knew them from before. It was such a sweet story but i absolutely adored Eli. I love how accommodating and understanding everyone was with him. I really can't wait to see where we go from here!

Definitely enjoyed the book! I enjoyed their relationship and them getting to know each other. But I was waiting for stuff to happen with the puppy dog and its former owner. It felt like it was missing the conflict aspect that the other books in the series had.

Y’all. I don’t know how not to make this review a whole freaking book report (NO SPOILERS I promise! I don’t want River Song coming after me!)

First of all, Pack of Leather is steamier than the previous books and I am here for it! Some of the scenes were so hot they kicked off a hot flash, so if you’re in that stage of life, grab your fan and your ice tea and buckle up. I need to be vague to avoid a spoiler, but one scene had the safety conscious part of me screaming in my mind “what are you thinking?!” while a whole other part of me was thinking “ooh girl, get it!”

Now let’s get the thing that had me on tenterhooks out of the way: how do you ACCIDENTALLY BITE SOMEONE?!?!?!? There is an answer, and it’s a good one. Now that that’s out of the way…

Although the oops bite is admittedly Not The Way, I love how the alpha uses the bond to advocate for Winnie, but not to spy on her (I’m curious how he feels being on the other end of the bond during some activities.) And despite the inauspicious beginning, this is one part instalove, one part slow burn, one part he falls first, one part forced proximity and ALL hot, sweet, and steamy. The relationships develop largely organically, with some relationships developing more quickly than others, but that feels natural with a pack of five, and one that has recently experienced trauma.

One of the things I love about Veronica Samek’s books is the balance between enough conflict for an interesting story but not so much that it imbues its anxieties into the reader, and another is – they’re funny. There are so many amusing moments that made me laugh out loud (much to the annoyance of the teenager sitting on the couch), but The Spider was possibly my loudest laugh (okay, I snorted like a pig digging for truffles)

Other things I love:
♥ Winnie’s family’s family boundaries and the bride not being a B
♥ that these books don’t follow the kind of formula that gets repetitive and makes every book feel like the same thing with different names.
♥ there is always an Alpha with “golden retriever” energy, there’s always a cinnamon roll, there’s always caretakers, and there’s always… well, this pack is actually missing something the others have, but as River would say “spoilers.”
♥ this book gives us more insight into the mate bond, even though it’s an incomplete one
♥ a good balance between the trauma that needs to be healed, and not having insta-reconciliation, but not dragging it out to ridiculous lengths
♥ Eli’s tattoo (the first one described). I have some things in common with him, and the tattoo design deeply resonated with me like this.
♥ Last but definitely not least - The Omega Book Club are ride or dies, they’re their own pack – or as Winnie called them… (spoiler)

I’m really hoping that some of the other omegas mentioned means that there’s another Lakeside Point Omegas series coming, because as excited as I am to get all the book club omegas’ stories, I will go into withdrawal without another Veronica Samek Cozy Omega book. Well, not withdrawal per se because I have the entire series, and even though I’m reading this as an ARC (because did you catch that I’m not a patient person?) I will also be buying the book once it’s released, but there’s a special excitement of reading someone’s story for the first time that I also want to experience. And does anyone else think about how you’d decorate a nest if you were an omega in the cozyverse?

The only negative in this book was that there was no discussion in this book about whether or not to use condoms, whether Winnie’s on BC, etc. Maybe I’m not remembering correctly, but I could swear all the previous packs used condoms when they had sex pre-bonding.

Okay, now to decide whether to go back to Pack of Cozy and work my way through the series in order or reread Pack of Leather immediately (I’m leaning toward the latter).

Happy, happy reading y’all.

Found Family, Forgiveness, and One Perfect Omega

I was completely enthralled by this cozy omegaverse series, and this final book in the Book Club Omegas delivered everything I hoped for and more.

Winnie, the quirky owner of Dandy Stuff, leaves town for a short visit with her sister and accidentally bonds an alpha. Panic sends her fleeing back home, only for her body to betray her as she grows dangerously ill. Enter the town sheriff, the man she’s quietly crushed on for ages, who just so happens to be her scent match and a former member of Pack Blackline. Realizing how serious Winnie’s condition is, he makes the call to his old pack, the same pack that’s been searching for their omega. They arrive roaring into town on their two-wheeled steeds, and honestly? Iconic.

Pack Blackline consists of four alphas, plus Corbin the sheriff, who radiates extreme daddy dom energy. Zeke is a golden retriever alpha through and through. Rafe is the hopeless romantic nursing a broken heart. Eli is a sweet, masked, neurodivergent alpha who absolutely melts at the thought of his omega. And then there’s Gage, the alpha who had to step up after unimaginable loss. Hardened by grief and responsibility, he’s rough around the edges but falls hard for Winnie in the most satisfying way.

This pack has a lot to work through loss, resentment, forgiveness and rebuilding trust sits firmly at the top of the list. Winnie becomes their steady center, the perfect balance that helps them grow into better, stronger alphas together.

One of my favorite parts of this series is how all the packs weave through each other’s stories, giving the whole town that warm, interconnected, cozy charm. Deputy is an absolute top-tier good pup, and every scene with him was a delight.

I’m genuinely sad to see this series end, but I’m just as excited to see what this author creates next. If this series is any indication, whatever comes next will be an instant read for me.

This is a fun small-town omega/alpha romance. It’s the 5th full book in The Omega Book Club series of interconnected standalones and can be read out of order, with only minor spoilers.

Omega FMC Winnie has been running her shop and lightly flirting with Sheriff and alpha MMC Corbin for a while, with nothing coming of it. One night at a bachelorette party, she accidentally bites, and is bitten by MMC Zeke, bonding with the impulsive alpha of the motorcycle tattoo artist Blackline pack. Naturally, she runs away immediately, but Corbin has a history with the pack, and Winnie ends up courting them all. There’s also Gage, the dominant alpha; Eli, the shy, sensitive one; and Raje, the fun but broken one.

This book was so much fun. It’s full of sweet moments mixed with extra-spicy scenes, along with some genuinely emotional bits. I loved that the guys were mostly cinnamon rolls but could also get down and dirty, especially with motorcycle-helmet-wearing chases through the woods. Winnie was also multifaceted, mostly sweet, but with a bossy omega.

This series is such a good time. I love the seasonal vibes of each one and the range of characters, all while being cozy, spicy fun. I really hope there are more to come.

Spice 5/5
Plot: 4/5
Writing: 4.5/5
My Enjoyment: 4.5/5

*** I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

This was another fabulous book in The Omega Book Club series of Omegaverse books. While you could read it as a standalone, there are frequent appearances from Winnie’s friends from the earlier books. I think this actually makes this series of books so good, and would definitely recommend reading the entire series if your reading time allows.

Winnie’s character was just so adorably sweet. This book has some underlying sad history to it, which was a bit heartbreaking. Definitely check the TW before reading. But the overall story was well written and the formation of Winnie’s pack was beautifully done.

This author really writes great characters. She does a great job writing alphas with unique characteristics instead of one size fits all, and this really makes for great stories.

I loved each and every one of the characters in this story. Each one struggled with their history and Winnie both brought them together and helped heal them. This was a beautiful story!

Oh my goodness what a wonderful way to end this series. Winnie and her men (mmfmm)were such a delight, and I really enjoyed their journey.

Winnie is the last Omega in our omega book club to find her pack. While out at her sister’s bachelorette party, she and a nameless alpha accidentally exchanged bites not knowing that they are scent sensitive matches. Our omega immediately runs back home, leaving our alpha horrified and distraught. What follows is a story of second chances, romantic risks, and building back your pack after loss.

This one was surprisingly deep and emotional. Of course you have all the fun stuff that makes an omegaverse so great like heats and nesting and scent matches. But then you also have a story of loss and forgiveness. You have a broken pack and they have to work out their own issues before they can help Winnie.

I thought this was a really sweet story and while there are some emotional scenes overall this is a Lower stakes book with an HEA.

I loved Pack of Leather so much, this group just might be my favorite of the Omega Book Club Series.

There is a bit of angst but anxious readers should be alright. This angst isn’t just between our FMC and the MMCs either, there’s so much healing that is needed between the MMCs. Our Sheriff Corbin has a bit of a dark past and some baggage that comes with that.

Winnie’s character is the best. She is so soft and sweet, just absolute sunshine. And while I won’t say I have favorites of the MMCs, I did love her relationship with Eli so freaking much.

Where Winnie is all soft edges (unless you make her feel defensive over her guys), her guys are rough around the edges and I love that, it makes them blend so well.

*ARC Reader*

Obsessed! Honestly this entire series is amazing but you can read each book as a stand alone.

How Veronica Samek writes her characters and explains just enough detail for you to understand what’s going on, but doesn’t overload you with information where you get lost in the descriptions instead of the actual story is what I love about her books. A Pack of Leather was a fun twist that I didn’t see coming, but I honestly love each alpha and Winnie is the perfect omega for them. I also fell in love with Winnie‘s family. They are such an amazing group of people along with the rest of the Omega Book Club group!

Favorite Alpha- Eli
Favorite moments - first beach outing, chase in the woods, and nest reveal
Would I recommend - YES!

Now I want to get another tattoo…

Another great addition to this interconnected standalone series !! We finally get to see Winnie find her pack! So glad I read this ARC!

Now I can’t lie I didn’t read the blurb to this, I just knew Veronica wrote it so I had to read it! It was such a unique story, with such unique pack dynamics and personalities.

Who would have thought our cutesy FMC would end up with a pack of tattoo artists who ride their motorcycles to their pop up events !

The formation of this pack wasn’t easy; it was paved with grief and heartache and miscommunication but gosh seeing them work everything out was truly breathtaking !

The book follows Winnie, Corbin, Gage, Zeke, Rafe, & Eli as they become scent sensitive matches, and try to learn to connect and build a strong pack together.
I have loved every single one of the books in this series but this one might have taken the cake as the best. This book had me laughing, shedding some tears, and overall I was not ready for the book to be over.
I think Eli and Corbin might have been my favorite Alphas of the bunch, but they now all hold a special place in my heart. The book was also very steamy, spicy, but was so well balanced that it didn't feel like it was the main point of the book and we did see a lot of character interaction and development throughout the book.

ARC Review:

Just like all the other books in the series, I gobbled this one up. I just was it went a little bit more in-depth on each of the guys individual history. Wanting to know a little bit more about Eli and his personal history as to why he wears the masks a bit more in depth. As well as Gage and what he had to do when being forced to become the head of the group.

I love this book nonetheless, but there were just so many characters that I wish it was a little bit longer to really feel connected to all of them.

First of all, thank you to Veronica and her team for allowing me to read this as an ARC. This title releases 2/17/26.

While I absolutely love this series, Pack of Leather was not my favorite story of the bunch. Things I did love? Neurodiversity representation, some m/m flirting, DEPUTY the puppy and FINALLY getting to meet Clara’s baby!! I’ve also had a soft spot for Corbin throughout the other books and am glad he found his pack and happiness.

I’m not sure if this is the last book for this series, but I know that I’ll definitely read anything else Veronica writes!

Holy Leather! This is by far my favorite of the whole series. This was a beautiful tale of a broken pack finding their way home with a beautiful, strong-willed omega. The characters were all written well and my heart bleeds for Rafe. My favorite alpha was Elias! I loved how everyone just knew what he needed and took care of him. I love that Winnie's mother was so understanding. This book tug on my heart strings and the nest scene was beautiful, my eyes were glossy the whole time.

Wow! What a story! I have loved every book in this series and this one certainly makes the grade! Winnie is such a sweet girl! And the way her pack comes together through plenty of bumps in the road had me tearing up a time or two. I absolutely fell on love with these characters. I received this book as an advanced copy, but have pre-ordered it! It is that good! I will recommend this series forever!

An incredible end to an amazing series! This is Winnie's story and I think it's my new favourite, she has a very different experience then the rest of the book club. All the characters had their own stories and each was beautiful and healing but brings them all together at the same time. Love the representation as well - I was laughing, crying and smiling with this book. 5 stars and 100% reccomend not just A Pack of Leather, but the whole series!

I love a good hurt/comfort and I definitely think this qualifies if not even in the traditional sense this is more for the guys having to heal between themselves and I loved that.
I also loved getting Winnie’s story it was such an amazing story seeing more of her and getting to know her as more than just a best friend in the other books.
It’s a great read and Eli is my favorite!!

I’m beyond grateful to be able to have been able to ARC read this!

Such a cute cozy read! I had a baby a month ago and I’ve been struggling to get through books but it this one!
Every book in this series is such a good time!

My only notes is I wish a had a way to keep the guys straight 😅 when theirs so many MMCs and they all have similar features it’s hard to keep them straight.
Also from my understanding these guys are heavily tattooed but the cover I don’t see a single tattoo. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I never want any of Veronica stories to end. She just always makes me fall in love with the characters and I just want to learn and read more about them! I loved the accidental bite in this, it added a little extra to the story! I thought this was really sweet and everything about their relationship just moved quickly but in a good way.

Such a warm and fuzzy read!

I have had so much fun ready every gals story from the omega book club. I'm so sad, and so happy to have them all find their happily ever after.

Winnie's story was a lovely tale of how being soft and kind is also strong. I loved the range of personalities in A Pack of Leather, and especially loved how Veronica brought a particular neurodivergent alpha to life.

Thank you Veronica Samek and team for the ARC.

I really enjoyed Pack of Leather. It was cute and spicy but had a lot of emotional growth from characters. I can’t wait to see what Veronica writes next. I have loved this series so much and hope she continues to write small town cozy books!
