Knot My Valentine: A Very Knotty Valentine Novella

Very Knotty Valentine

by Rae D. Magdon

Winter Blackwell never wastes time on anyone who can’t improve her bottom line. As the C.E.O. and owner of AlphaNet, a premium matchmaking service for omegas in heat, she’s poured everything she has into growing her company. Romance and relationships aren’t worth the trouble.

But when her “just for show” profile matches with Eden Vale, the daughter of her biggest investor, Winter feels obligated to accept. Eden is sunny, cheerful, and everything else Winter finds annoying, but she can’t deny the omega’s magnetic pull.

Is it just Eden’s heat, or do opposites attract after all?

Phew! Winter is hot hot hot! This was a fantastic quick read, definitely wouldn’t have minded more of their story!!

Winter is the CEO of the AlphaNet and matches (not intentionally) with an investor’s omega daughter Eden (who also didn’t intend to use the app for real). Naturally they both decide to set up a sort of business date, neither looking to be involved except for the social media presence to encourage users. Well, there’s a reason they were matched ;).

Recommend!!

spicy

This one is spicy. Not as sweet and romantic as the others in the series but being it’s the CEO of alphanet it makes sense. Well written and a great short read.

Duel 1st Person POV. 5🌟 3🌶️. 77 pages
2 long deliciously detailed spicy scenes

This was my first introduction to Rae’s work and it will not be my last! This was another delicious little addition to the Very Knotty Valentine Collection and I enjoyed every second of it!

Knot My Valentine follows prickly Alpha CEO of AlphaNet Winter as one of her biggest investors convinces her to go on a “publicity” valentines date with his daughter. Eden is a cheery sunshine omega that apparently embodies every personality trait Winter hates. But when Winter protects Eden from her jealous shithead ex, their physical chemistry becomes unbearable.

Again much like the first book in the series I didn’t expect to love both of these characters, but when you combine a muscle mommy ice queen with a soft, plush, plus size goddess I’m gonna devour it and ask for seconds. Their personalities may clash in the beginning, but their chemistry still sizzles on that page and oh how I lapped it up!

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

All. The. Yes. For. Sapphic. Omegaverse. ALWAYS! Especially these novellas in the Very Knotty Valentine collection based around AlphaNet, the heat matching service. Love the idea, and very much enjoyed this story around it! I realised JUST how invested I was when there was that point of uncertainty after Eden’s heat, I genuinely cared and was worried for a moment!
I always love grumpy/sunshine pairings. Winter isn’t exactly ‘grumpy’ but maybe a little prickly and serious, whereas Eden is a walking ray of sunshine so I loved seeing her bring a bit of softness to Winter. Also absolutely obsessed with the moment in the restaurant where Winter.. ‘takes out the trash’.

Plot Summary:
Winter, no nonsense corporate Alpha, CEO and owner of AlphaNet (a heat matching service), gets a visit from a big investor, who just so happens to want her to take his daughter on a date as a match on the app.
Eden, the investors Omega daughter, happens to be the opposite of Winter in almost every way.
What started out as a publicity stunt, soon turns into much, much more.

Things I loved:
- Getting rid of the ex
- Winter looking after Eden
- THE SPICE
- Obedience
- The point of uncertainty
- The end

Overall, a wonderful example of when opposites attract! Initial prickliness to blazing chemistry, YES!

Total chemistry.

Winter, the Alpha of Alphanet, gets setup by one of the investors. It turns out that Winter and Eden has something special between them, that neither could have foreseen before they went on their date.
Their chemistry from the start is incredible.

So good!

It was great seeing Winter prominent in this book! The aloha/omega dynamics were displayed with care and done well. Kudos to Rae for another well done story… now I want a full length book featuring Winter and Eden!
