Knot Your Darlin'
She had it all … until they pulled the rug out from under her.
Seven years ago, Poppy Caldwell's heart was shattered. The future she had planned altered significantly. All because of three alphas, her best friends, rejected their fated mate bond because they ‘found another omega.’ Dixon, Bo, and Weston were her everything before they became nothing to her.
Nothing is ever as it seems, though.
But they don’t get a chance to explain it before Poppy packs up and races out of town, never to be heard from again.
Or so they thought.
When Poppy returns, after having the same thing done to her by her chosen pack, they see this as a chance to right a wrong and finally claim the omega they’ve been yearning for all these years.
Except, they don’t get the chance before everything goes to hell in a handbasket, and they see their future slipping through their fingers.
Only, they're not those young bucks anymore. Weston, Bo, and Dixon refuse to lose their little omega.

There was so much emotion and build up in the first half of this book that it honestly was gearing up to be a 5 star read. However, by the end you have this big build up and just...nothing. There's zero romance in this book. I'm not talking physical intimacy (though there is none of that either outside of one (mostly) forced kiss). I'm talking there isn't even any conversations, no enjoying each other's company or really even being in each other's company.
There are no genuine scenes between her and any male in this book. Not her fated pack or her ex 'chosen' pack, or even the person she considers a 'father figure.'
SPOILERS BELOW
Her fated pack learn she's back in town, demand she take them back and to basically get over their past rejection. They tell her they never cheated (which they let her believe) but she's not getting the actual reason so to just accept that. They walk away from her after a causing a public scene when she asks them to tell her the truth or leave her alone for good. (They still don't tell her by the way even in the end of the book). She takes this as another rejection.
The person she described as a father figure, knowing what they did to her, what her chosen pack did to her, watching her fated pack do it again in public, tells her to get in his car because he won't let her sleep in her car another night. She does because she trusts him. When she falls asleep, he takes her straight to that pack who rejected her AGAIN and leaves her there ALONE to wake up alone, with men who hurt and betrayed her. Some father figure.
When she wakes, her fated pack refuse to let her leave, demand she take them back because she was made for them and her heat is coming soon (basically telling her they will be tending her heat whether she wants it or not):
"You belong to us- not because we asked, not because you agreed, but because the bond chose us long before we understood it."
She locks herself in 'her' room because she doesn't want them back. When she finally comes out of her room to go to work days later (or longer we don't know, it isn't said), they again refuse to let her leave, reject her again saying they don't want her or want to be with her in any capacity, but she's still not allowed to leave. Even when she tells them staying is physically hurting her, they demand she stay.
Really, that's all the interaction between her and them outside of a forced kiss. There's not even any conversations, nothing. There's no grovel. No romance. No apology. No hint that they feel anything whatsoever for this girl other than she is their scent match therefore belongs to them.
Throughout her fated pack make a big deal about how they got involved with a 'bad' and 'dangerous' pack back in the day and that they forced them to reject her for a chance at Dixon being a professional athlete (wow, shallow much?). It would have made more sense if her ex(chosen) pack had been this pack, but no. They also still don't tell her why they rejected her multiple times (even by the end of the book, by the way). They reject her then after she runs away for good they decide, fuck it we do want her.
From both her ex/chosen pack and her fated pack their attitudes give: that's my toy, I don't like that toy, I wasn't playing with that toy, but it's still my property. It can sit on a shelf and pine away until I deem it worthy of attention.

So many possibilities, so many plot points thrown around with zero conclusion, and wrapped up in a quick ending??
Cheating = h's chosen pack is cheating on her with their "fated" mate. They kick out the h who then returns to her hometown and to her "fated" pack.
h sees H with OW = h gets her chosen packs' fated mate shoved in her face as the pack fawns all over their fated on in front of the h
Rejected-mate = h's fated pack rejected her because some bad people told one of the alphas he had to...no really fleshed out to explain more. When h come back, they want her but AGAIN reject her??? It was so confusing...the other 2 alphas just went along with the first because "something" could happen?? But no direct threats were made after years so it was all assumptions.
Grovel = the Hs wanted her back, but what grovel did they really do when they just want her back as a "friend" and not mate??? They rejected her a second time. But suddenly, after the chosen pack kidnaps her, gets in a car crash, the next chapter/epilogue, they are all snuggled up and she's pregnant?? I was so confused.
As before stated, many plot point thrown out but not expanded upon and not resolved at all.

Not my darling really
This book gave me a bit of everything so mixed messages seemed to be the thing.
Fated pack rejected her, she finds a chosen one, stays with them for 6 years, but they find their fated mate.
This sends popy home where she meets back to with her gate pack once more, so they still live her, why did they reject her? What sort of alphas want fame so bad they give up their mate then when they pay back what they owe are afraid and just push her away and say to themselves "oh its for her own good"
The questions are there but this seems to be one of those wishy washy.
They reject her she runs, poppy meets up with a problem, Suddenly her fated pack is her love with a omg why fight it.. no groveling, nothing, just you're right, they are mine and I love them.
I normally love this authors books, this one.. I'm not wild about it

This started out as a decent read, but the last 30% makes no sense. She goes from wanting nothing to do with her fated alphas to being devastated when they reject her again. I don't really even understand how it got to that point because she wasn't interested in reconciliation at that point. There is zero substance to her relationship with this pack, and now they've rejected her twice. Then she randomly gets kidnapped by her chosen pack who somehow figured out where she was, which is never explained. A quick kidnap and rescue with a HEA epilogue six months later with these loser alphas. No grovel for what they did to her TWICE. We don't know if they ever told her the truth. We don't know what happened to her chosen pack after she was rescued.
Such a disappointment. I liked it well enough at first but then it just went downhill quickly in that final stretch.

Potential but not alot of information
So this story needs WAY more information. There were no small moments or any kind of reason for the connections to still be there after the initial rejection. The BIG "why" question was never even answered at all. The whole book you wait for an explanation that never comes. No info about the chosen pack either. (Again, more "whys?") It has potential and I was so excited to read this. Big let down. Then she just forgives them with NO explanation.

Knot Your Darlin'
Knot Your Darlin' was a good book. I do feel like, for me, some things weren't answered. It could be a me thing I'm not sure. I do feel like there should have been a whole lot more groveling before she accepted them because they put her through so much heartbreak. Hopefully you enjoy reading this omegaverse romance. Happy Reading Everyone!

Ridiculously gross men, absolutely zero grovel
Another book where the males screw up for 80% of it, stumble into saving the girl's life, and suddenly their borderline abusive behavior is forgotten. I do not recommend this book for people in healthy relationships.

just ok
Not very clear on a-lot of aspects. Very fast paced in the end with the forgiveness of original pack, when no clear reasoning was given to the Poppy.
It was very fast paced and I didn’t feel quite satisfied.

Telling not showing
It is a good plot but I didn't enjoy that everything was being told instead of shown. It was also very repetitive. Some minor spelling mistakes.
