Very Knotty Valentine

Knotty in Vegas: A Sapphic Omegaverse Valentine's Romance

Rate this book
I joined Alpha Net looking for love, not trouble. Instead, the only match I got was Jade, the Alpha I swore I would never forgive. She was my rival, my nemesis, the last person I ever wanted tangled up with my heart.

Waking up in Vegas with her ring on my finger felt like the biggest mistake of my life. Now we were stuck playing house until we could untangle our hasty marriage, but every lingering look only stoked the fire between us.

She drove me insane. She tempted me in ways I didn’t want to admit. And the longer I stayed by her side, the more I wondered if I had ever truly hated her at all, or if I had only been afraid of how much I wanted her.


Knotty in Vegas is a part of the A Very Knotty Valentine series of novellas, featuring female Alphas and the newly released heat companion locator app, Alpha Net.

85 pages, Kindle Edition

“Do I have to spell it out for you?” Jade was so close, the obsession in her eyes making it hard to breathe. “I’m crazy for you. I have been since the day we met. Everything I’ve done, everything I am, is all for you.”

This book promised indulgent Omegaverse smut and it delivered! 👏😝

I mean....🥵 this book was filled to the brim with insta-love, mouthwatering sapphic smut and a plot that made zero sense, but that doesn't matter, I wasn't here for that, so a perfect 3.5 stars for me 🌟🌟🌟💫

I definitely recommend if you want a very good time but not a long time.

Ok so my BFF suggested this book because I love reading omegaverse books. Now this is the first I have read where it has been a Female Alpha and I enjoyed it. Fast burn- most definitely. Now i don’t wish to spoil anything (I don’t like spoiling books for others) but for those that like FF books with an Alpha twist (omegaverse) I highly recommend reading this book. I look forward to reading more in the series.

Single 1st Person POV. 4.5🌟 3🌶️. 85 pages
4 deliciously detailed spicy scenes

Like the last Very Knotty Valentine novella, this was my first introduction to this authors works and it definitely will not be my last! Knotty in vegas is another deliciously spicy, sweet and short novella that’s I devoured.

Knotty in Vegas follows Daphne an omega who owns a bakery and attends an annual baking convention in Vegas, the same convention her rival Jade also attends every year. Jade is an alpha who also owns a bakery, that Daphne believes she opened just to spite her. Tensions rise in vegas and the two can’t seem to stay away from one another, when I drunken encounter leads to an accidental marriage. But can the two admit they never hated one another or will their “marriage” fall apart before it properly begins.

I adored Jade as a character, always lurking but in a way that shows she may be more obsessed and protective than her rival would dare to believe. I’m also loving the fact that all of these novellas seem to show love and appreciation for plush plus size women, we need more softness in books, because yes muscles are nice but I’d rather have a soft tummy and rolls to hold onto!

The only thing that I didn’t vibe with in Knotty in Vegas was the fact it was single POV. I prefer to know what both MCs are thinking and feeling, but that’s just personal preference.

Again if you’re an omegaverse fan and want something short, sweet and deliciously spicy give Knotty in Vegas a read. You won’t be disappointed!

Things to Love:
✨Sapphic Omegaverse

A great, quick sapphic omegaverse read! I loved the characters and the baking elements and their attraction (although one of them tried to fight it for awhile). I definitely want to read more in this series. Perfect to read for Valentine's Day (or anytime you want to feel the V-Day energy).

Thank you to the author for an ARC.

Honestly one of the only short stories I’ve read that actually felt complete. I do, however, believe its a shame that it wasn't longer. A full length that explores more of their past and more content of them attempting to stay celibate for 90 days would have been a lot of fun.

Quick read.

I loved the chemistry between Jade and Daphne. It was all so Romeo and Juliet like as well. In the end it worked out wonderfully for them.

Quick and perfect

It’s so good, I read it twice in 24 hours. I would love to read an extended version of Daphne and Julia’s love story.

Даже если бы тут не было сюжета вовсе или он был бы плох, я бы это проглотила чисто из-за Джейд. Эта девушка заслуживает любви всего мира. (Но, наверное, хорошо, что история оказалась милой)

Yes yes yes! Rivals/enemies to lovers? Hate to love? Drunkenly married in Vegas? YES! To fit that much spice into only 85 pages as well as backstory and emotional depth? Of course I loved it! I enjoyed the protective, sure of herself Alpha (Jade), and Daphne’s (Omega) denial and resistance to her obvious attraction. The chemistry, albeit reluctant on Daphne’s part, was done really well, the family rivalry added an extra layer too.
I very much enjoyed the ending, excellent HEA and absolutely loved the delivery of that last part! Also, books with super tasty food descriptions always make me hungry, and I’m all for it.

Plot Summary:
Daphne, Omega, bakery owner, heads to the annual baking convention, knowing her rival Jade, Alpha, bakery owner (who Daphne is sure only opened a bakery to spite her) will be there. Unfortunately (or not so unfortunately 😏), Daphne is about to go into heat. Thankfully AlphaNet’s heat matching app is there to save the day! But her only match is Jade, her sworn rival. Throw in a drunken marriage and a lovely ending, and you have this book!

Things I Loved:
- Resisting the desire
- All the tasty food talk
- Lots of spicy scenes in only 85 pages
- Drunkenly married
- Jade’s protectiveness
- Scent matches
- Bit of an F U to the b!tchy mother

Overall, a delicious part of the Very Knotty Valentine collection with a whole bunch of spice, rivals to lovers, resisting the inevitable, and tasty bakery talk.
