Knot Their Sugarplum: Why Choose Contemporary Holiday Omegaverse Standalone

Rate this book
What’s an omega to do when the beta that broke her heart is back in town, and determined to earn her love once more? Beg the younger brother of her long time alpha crush to pretend to be her boyfriend, of course.

Do you love building gingerbread houses, snowball fights, and holiday movie marathons while getting snowed into a cabin? What about cozy Christmas tree decorating?

Plum never thought her ex-boyfriend, Kai, would ever return to Gravewood, but when he shows up four weeks early to his best friend’s wedding, Plum panics.
Fortunately, Benson plays along, cosigning her lie that he’s her current boyfriend, even though he’s the younger brother of her long time crush, Nick.
Unfortunately, Plum now has to keep up the fake dating facade, dodge questions from everyone in their lives, and avoid her ex-boyfriend. All while serving as a bridesmaid in her friend's wedding, where Kai is the best man, and Nick and Benson, are the bride’s older brothers.
Things are going to get very messy, especially when Plum goes into heat, just days before the wedding.
What could possibly go wrong?

This is Plum's book. (AKA Sugarplum.) Sable's best friend in Knot Their Boo. You do not need to read KTB first, this is a standalone. Every question from Knot their Boo will be answered when it comes to Plum, and her men!
Christmas Contemporary Omegaverse, MFMM, AOAA, small town holiday romance, second chance romance, age gap, why choose, fake dating turned lovers, reluctant alpha turned lover, persistent ex boyfriend that wants her back...

I absolutely loved this story! Read it now!!!

So this is Plum's story, Sable's bestie. Plum is beautiful, kind, smart, a little bratty and knows her worth and doesn't take sh** from anyone.

Our mmc's are brothers, Nick and Benson, and Kai, Plum's high school boyfriend. Nick is the kind of grumpy older alpha who has always kept Plum at a distance. Benson uses every chance he gets to flirt with Plum, he is kind of obsessed and just really easy going. And finally Kai, he is Plum's beta that broke her heart and is back in town to win Plum back. He is a bit bratty in his own way, giving and funny and just beautiful. He also has a lot to make up for for what he did to Plum.

The plot was amazing as always. Plum seeks the help of Nick and Benson to keep Kai at bay. Little does Plum realise, Nick and Benson want to do everything to keep Plum for real as they really do care for her. Things start off as fake, but quickly change when Plum herself starts to fall hard and fast for the alpha's. Kai makes everything complicated when Plum still loves him but Plum makes him realise a few hard truths. I loved how the relationship blossomed into something more and at their own pace. It was sweet to also see Kai realise his mistakes and take the time to earn Plum's forgiveness and trust. They all just vibe so well together and just suit each other's personalities to a T. I could go on and on but I don't want to give anything away.

Shout out to Sable, Stella and Bee. Love them all 🩷

Such a sweet and wholesome story.

Thank you Kira and your lovely team for the opportunity to read this story. I am forever grateful 🙏

Chaotic mayhem with an HEA

First and foremost, this is the least Christmas centric Christmas book but somehow still has the random hint of the season. Overall, it's a slightly messy, slightly overcomplicated madhouse of events. There is a bit of a time warp feeling, like dialogue that feels like a day seems to jump weeks ahead. It... Works? But I was thrown more than once by the timing.

Plum is a really great FMC. Her early childhood details are a bit darker than one might hope for a book which is otherwise pretty upbeat, but it makes her character better, stronger, more understandable.
Once Kai remembers how to human, all of the MMCs are great as well. Both Benson and Nick are consistently solid the entire book.
The side characters were a bit interchangeable in some ways and very easily confused/confusing because of it. Partly this is my fault for reading out of order but the Stella and Sable were a blur of generic female for me. For the most part everyone filled their slot decently but those two kept me stumbling.

The story is unique enough to stand out well. The humor is absolutely spot on. Plum especially is one of the best truly funny characters I've read this year. The editing/proofing is high quality. The pacing is very steady and comfortable - it never drags but doesn't feel like a race either.

Some elements around the parents feel very unnecessary for the broader picture of the story but it's not too excessively traumatic either. It's not a perfect read but it's a good one if you're looking for open door, guaranteed HEA in a wintery RH genre.

Discovering you pack has been wanting you forever

Plum running into her first love, a Beta named Kai, causes a lot of feelings and she rushes to find a way to keep him away. Running into Benson she decides to try and use him to convince Kai she is taken.

The fake dating ploy is upped again when Benson's older brother, Nick, gets drawn into the fake dating arrangement. The only thing is that both of these Alphas want it to be real and will do everything they can to maker their Omega happy.

I honestly did not think Kai would be redeemable. Kira did a really good job keeping us on Plum's side until everything changed. This is such a sweet story once you get to the heart of what everyone wants and what they are willing to do to make it happen.

I loved how this story came together. Plus the way the brothers had been feeling for so long. These four make a beautiful pack.

Lobe plums story!!

I’ve been looking forward to this one ever since Knot Their Boo, and it did not disappoint. I absolutely devoured this book in a single day 😂.

Knot Their Sugarplum takes you on an emotional ride—there are laugh-out-loud funny moments, scenes that made me genuinely angry, and others that had me tearing up. The characters felt real and easy to connect with, and the story flowed beautifully from start to finish.

Add in the delicious omega spice I love so much, and this book was everything I was hoping for and more. Kira Roman delivered another wonderfully written, addictive read, and I already can’t wait for what comes next.

This is the third book in the Knotty Holidays series. I need to read the first book to complete the trilogy. It looks like I will need to binge read this series soon!
Can I say that Sugarplum is a bada$$?!! She is funny, neurotic, loyal and somewhat insecure. I loved this character so much! I love watching the way she navigates the speed bumps in her life! The MMCs are hot and protective. My favorite MMC is Benson!! I love him and loved watching how his story played out.
Thank you, Kira Roman, for another lovely, crazy and steamy story in this series. I loved reading this series and cannot wait to see what you release next. Just know I will be reading it as soon as it is released!!

Such a sweet and spicy story of forgiveness. Plum’s first love, Kai, showed up back in town earlier than she was expecting, and she was not prepared. In trying to protect herself against letting Kai back into her life too easily, she finds herself fake dating brothers, Benson and Nick. They weren’t faking it, but it took Plum a bit to realize they had real feelings for her. Kai had his work cut out for him to get back into Plum’s good graces. Spicy and hot. I’m so happy Plum and the guys got their happily ever after.

I have been eagerly awaiting Plum’s story and it did not disappoint. It’s super cutesy and also just kinda angsty. It has a great fake dating arc that had me kicking up my feet because seriously how about that chemistry between Plum, Benson and his older brother Nick. It has the angsty second chance love between Plum and Kai, her beta ex boyfriend. It was just so fun to watch their banter and also watch the development between them go from no to yes. And I loved every single moment in this book!

I was dying to get my hands on Plum's (Sugarplum) book after liking her in her friend - Sables book (Knot their Boo. The book before this one). I loved her constant flirting with Alpha - Nick in that book and that continued in this book too. When Plum's Beta Ex - Boyfriend - Kai comes back into town hoping to rekindle their past relationship she enlists Alpha & brother to Nick - Benson. I loved his easy - going playfulness in this book. Saying that though my word did these guys steam up my kindle! I absolutely loved this book and Plum who was a riot of a laugh. Such a good read.

I absolutely adored this book. It was a sweet and cozy, small town romance and was the perfect holiday Omegaverse book.

Plum was such a great character. I loved her from her appearances in Knot Her Boo, as Sable’s best friend and I couldn’t wait to read her story. Her relationship with Kai is a bit of a heartbreaker, but Nick and Benson are absolute perfection.

Overall, this is a great holiday Omegaverse story.

Super slow burn but she’s a tease and I love it! Plum begs benson to be her “fake” boyfriend so she can get Kai to leave her alone. Then Benson’s brother Nick is pulled into it. Being the flirt she is Plum then begs nick to join her little plan. In the end she gets her pack of amazing alphas and her amazing beta. I love these cute stories and I can’t wait to read more!

Great story

Loved reading Plums story on how she connected with her pack. Kai, her beta ex boyfriend is back for his best friends wedding to her best friend. Benson and Nick are her best friends brothers, and her fake boyfriends to help her deal with Kai being back. Not too much drama, some laughs and a bit of spice 😁🔥🔥

Oh I loved this book so much! I cried during several parts and it was so worth it. I wanted to smack Kai in the beginning and wondered how the author was going to get me to like him but man did she EVER pull it off. All the guys were great and the supporting cast was wonderful.

This FMC is … terrible. I couldn’t imagine treating people the way she treats the MMCs. I don’t want to learn her ‘redeemable qualities’ the way she spoke to all three men is just… what???

Second Chance and sweet romances

A fun holiday omegaverse that gave spice and a lot of nice. Plum's testing the men around her, not ready to see that they are up for something real. Even her past that she thought was a closed chapter. Worth the read!

Super cute

Low angst. Sweet and lighthearted but still with plenty of plot and great characters. A sweet and strong fmc. A growly grumpy sweet alpha, a dedicated and playful alpha and a sexy groveling beta. All the angles covered! No MM in the dynamic. Full focus on the fmc!
