Can they get the girl and the gold?

After the Olympic committee is forced to allow omegas to compete, Raven Novak is called up to represent Team USA in figure skating in Milan. She’s worked hard to get here and is determined to live up to the expectations of everyone watching.

Pack West is committed to bringing curling into the public eye, starting with winning the gold. They don’t expect to come face to face with the girl they tormented in high school. No longer just a girl, she’s an omega bombshell… and their scent match.

But when someone tampers with Raven’s heat suppressants, and she wakes up with a bonding bite, her bodyguard is willing to put it all on the line to protect her.

Can Pack West prove they’ve changed so they can win the girl, the gold, and make sure their pack doesn’t fall apart as personalities clash and pheromones fly?

Knot Letting Go is part of the OlympicVerse world, but takes place with entirely different characters and can be read as a standalone. It's intended for an 18+ audience.

Dnf at 62%. It was well written, but it just gave me the ick? She was an absolute pushover, the guys (except Foster🤪♥️) seeming mean, pushy and uncomfortable? Sadly not for me

* MMFMMM
* accidental bonding
* bodyguard romance
* former bullies to lovers romance
* demisexual rep

“Project: Win Raven Back After We Acted Like Assholes So We Can Bond Her and Breed Her is underway.”

This is such a sweet and satisfying Omegaverse story set at the Winter Olympics when figure skater Raven Novak discovers her former high school bullies are also competing for the US curling team.

This is more of a cozy story, but there is some suspense, sabotage and a ton of spicy spice with an emotional edge. I adored these characters, but especially Foster (the alpha-est alpha with a penchant for shibari) and Rhodes (the demisexual beta who brings so much emotion and vulnerability to the story).

Thanks so much to the authors for the chance to review! I’ll definitely be diving further into this world.

I’d like to thank the authors for providing me with an advanced reader copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions shared are my own!

I’m writing this on my phone from bed after finishing so forgive me for the not so eloquent thoughts but here we are 😂

Look it’s been a while since I read a good omegaverse book and oh boy this didn’t disappoint!! I think I enjoyed this one so much because it had these added stakes of the winter olympics (what appropriate timing) and also omegas being allowed into the olympics. Like this whole pressure inducing setting added to the pressure of being in a pack and developing a bond.

I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the pack at first after learning about their history with Raven. But as they grew on her, they also grew on me. Foster however was a ride or die from the get go and I was so glad that he was in our girls corner with the chaos and maliciousness happening around her.

LET ME SAY AS WELL THAT I LOVED RHODES!!! We got to explore the beta dynamic in the pack, which so many of the books I’ve read don’t have!! It was so good and I loved that aspect so freaking much. Also he had some reaaaal good scenes if you catch my drift 👀

The spice overall was just exquisite and I loved every single scene because it was just truly delightful. I do wish that like their history hadn’t been resolved as quickly as it was, but I understand the olympics are a time crunch and we needed to resolve things!

Overall this was such a fun and spicy read, and I had a blast! Am I back on my omegaverse hussle now?

⭐⭐⭐⭐

👀Tropes: Multi POV Omegaverse with scent matches between Olympic Athletes (Curling and Figure Skating) where there is MMMFMM. There's a bodyguard (forced proximity), bullies to lovers, second chances, pining, and lots of humor. With this many main characters, there are a lot of different personalities including grumpy, sunshine, and cinnamon rolls.

☠️CW: Alcohol, Bigotry, Bullying, Cursing, Drug Use/, Sexual Content. Mention of/Past: Child Emotional Abuse, Death, Diet Culture, Medical Content, Vomit

🪢Sexual Content: Anal, Oral, Bondage, Voyeurism, Exhibitionism, Somnophilia, DP, Virgin Characters, Shibari, Demi Rep

📚Read Method: Kindle eBook. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

✨My Thoughts: Yummmmmmm. I have a favorite main character and I just want more of them. I will not say who, but yummmmmmmm. This is a light/medium sports romance, just in time for the Winter Olympics! I love the stories that Thea and Clover write; it has just a little bit of angst to really bring me in and make me want the characters to make good choices (which they do!). One piece of criticism is that it wasn't long enough. I say that about a lot of books, but with this many main characters, I felt like it wasn't as in-depth and some characters felt surface level.

💖Quotes:
"Project: Win Raven Back After We Acted Like Assholes So WE Can Bond Her and Breed Her is underway. Okay, yeah. I need to workshop the name a little. "
"If she smells as good as Vann says, I'm utterly and completely screwed."
"He's comfort and laughter, safety at the same time as fresh adventure. His scent makes me feel alive in ways nothing else does."
"Be good, omega. Your alpha hasn't tasted you yet, and he looks starving."

Thank you to the author for my ARC in exchange for an honest review!!
Our Omega, Raven, is at the Olympics and people aren’t thrilled.
She starts falling for her Alpha Italian bodyguard who is just too sweet for words!
Her high school bullies, who have formed a pack and added a demisexual Beta (not a bully), are also there. You find out they were bullies because she was their sdcent match and they weren’t ready for all that in high school.
The pack has to earn her trust back and be there for her when she needs it most while the bodyguard is a consistent positive presence.
There’s love, lust, accidental mating, accidental heats, and knotting. Everything a girl could want!

Trial run for omegas at the Olympic winter games in Italy. There's a lot of pressure resting on Raven's shoulders. What she doesn't need now?
A hot alpha bodyguard who she shouldn't feel so drawn to and the pack of curlers, who bullied her all through high school. On top of that, it seems like her heat suppressants aren't working like they should.
Drama. Redemption. New feelings and old ones, all unfolding at the worst possible time. Making this story a fast paced and fun sport adventure, sprinkled with all the spicy goodness and loads of groveling. I'm so happy I could dive? Slide? Back into Olympicverse with Raven's story. Can't wait what's up next!!

Pack Dynamics:

Raven (Ω): Olympic figure skater with pressure to perform
Tanner (α): the remorseful former high school bully
Rhodes (β): the beta that isn’t sure of his place in their pack
Vann (α): the golden retriever that has been looking for his scent-match for years

CW: designation discrimination, tampering with medication

Synopsis: As one of only a few omegas officially allowed to compete in the Olympics, Raven feels immense pressure to perform well from every direction. Her only comfort is her assigned bodyguard, Foster. Things get even more complicated when her former high school bullies realize she’s competing as well, and they decide to try and make things right because they’ve known for years she’s their scent-match.

Thoughts:
Knot Letting Go is a fast-paced, lower stress, omegaverse romance that had a really nice balance of serious groveling and lighthearted shenanigans. There is also very interesting sub-plot regarding omegas finally being allowed to compete in the Olympics, and the specific mystery involving Raven’s heat spikes. And, of course, I thought it was really fun to see some curling representation in a sports romance, lol.

I enjoyed the pack dynamics as well! There’s a bit of pairing off at the start, but over the course of the story, the larger connection of the pack bond becomes more important, and assists in melting some of the lines between characters. Rhodes, the pack beta, is demisexual and his experience within their pack was really great to read. His budding relationships felt so special. I also felt some kinship with Raven, the FMC, for all of the responsibility and pressure she placed on herself to perform. I’m glad she had her pack to absorb some of that.

As always, I try to not pick a favorite, but omg, I’d crawl for Foster, Raven’s BDE security guard. I’m not ashamed to admit that I really like burly, overbearing, Daddy vibe MMCs, and he really hit the spot.

All in all, I think you’ll love this omegaverse romance if you enjoy groveling, care, and sexy found families!

A fantastically written and timed addition to the OlympicVerse!

Now that the Olympics are allowing omegas to compete, Raven has been chosen to represent Team USA in figure skating. Unfortunately, her focus is split when she is also scheduled to do a variety of PR photoshoots, tours, and interviews. Pack West wants to increase the popularity of curling in the US and they want to start by winning the gold medal. They also want to support and win over Raven, the girl they bullied in high school and their scent matched omega. When Raven's heat suppressants seem to fail, she wakes up bonded to one of her high school bullies. Now, the pack has to work together with Raven's bodyguard to protect her and discover who is trying to sabotage her Olympic chances.

I absolutely loved all of the characters in this book! Raven, Foster, and all of Pack West were absolutely amazing. Raven's struggle with the pressure and the new relationships were so well written and realistic. I could not imagine being in her position and trying to perform at her absolute best while also contending with the pressure of being one of the first class of omegas openly allowed to compete. Foster immediately drew me in and I loved how protective he was of her even before he acknowledged his feelings. Vann was completely adorable with how obsessed he was with Raven and being able to win back her trust after the bullying they put her through in high school. I also really enjoyed how the authors illustrated Rhodes' demisexuality in combination with him being a beta among alphas. All of the pack members had different insecurities that they had to confront and they really helped each other work through things. The little bit of mystery and suspense added an extra layer of fun to an awesome book! I had so much fun reading it!

Thank you to Thea Masen for the free advance copy!

GUYS, I LOVED THIS SO MUCH OMG I CAN'T. It's the winter Olympics and thanks to the Hart Foundation Omega are now being included. well.. I should say recruited because Raven Novak has been selected to represent the US. Due to the nature of her situation, she's required to have the bodyguard Foster D'Amico follow her everywhere. But when tensions rise and Ravens omega precautions are interfered with she winds up bonded to the US's curling team who also just so happen to be her high school bullies and scent matches, things spiral out of control. Only question is, is it a good spiral or one that will destroy everything they've worked for? YALL. Listen maybe it's this heated rivalry love we got going around but fuck this was everything. I love this series so much and the fact that it continues to get better and better is unbelievable. I related sooo much to Raven here. The pressures of sports are not for me and it would tear me down. I felt so represented. and omg. foster. FUCK ME UP. Honestly the whole pack FUCK ME UP. They were all so delicious. like these mfers needed to grovel. I mean GROVEL and I loved how they proved themselves to her. especially Vann was a complete fool for her. he was practically feral. as he should be. All of them just worked so well together. I couldn't be happier. Everyone was just so good in their own way. I can't even express how much I loved this. Just read these side notes and know I was absolutely in love with this book: foster saying "I would take a bullet for you" like that fucked me up, werther butterscotch hard candies are superior, hart foundation had me sobbing with joy, sting like a bee with your dick vann, RAVEN ON HIS THANG OMG, dudes are dumbasses-why be asshole when you're in love, boo bear forever, chainsaws and childbirth we love it, not the packmates are like Pokémon cards, can we please have bites in more unique places. This story ate up with the hand and 🤭. But please Omegaverses let's get crazy with this shit, Rhodes is secretly a dirty dog and I'm obsessed. Also FUCK YES SADIE I CAN'T WAIT. If you need one line to convince you to read this, this should be it, "The boy who hurt her and the man who wants a second chance." Yall. I died. poetry. true poetry.

Olympic Dreams and Second Chances

Raven has made it into a pilot program testing out allowing Omegas to compete at the Winter Olympics. She is an ice dancer and from a family with Olympic history. Rules have the Omega on high end heat suppressants and scent blockers. They are also paired with individual security guards who will remain with them at all times.

Raven is happy to be representing Omegas but she isn't super happy with all the required publicity especially as most of it seems pointless. However, her Alpha bodyguard, Foster is willing to go against her coach to ensure she is taking care of herself even if he doesn't quite understand why at first.

Enter USA curling team made up of her 3 high school bullies and a beta they added to their team and pack. One of the men has been trying to find her for years to grovel because she is their scent match and he knows he messed up.

I really enjoyed the way this story played out and how the boys truly had to grovel while dealing with the accidental bonding. I also enjoyed getting to see Rhodes, the Demi beta, find his footing in the pack and actually be bitten in. I like how everything was approached as the Beta and Omega calling all the shots.

Imagine waking up bonded to one of your High school bullies and not remembering until later what happened. Then realizing you bonded without asking not the other way around.

This was a very sweet and cozy Omegaverse. There is still some sabotage, suspense, and plenty of spice to be found. I loved the shibari scene.

5 ⭐ 4 🌶️

Had life gone my way this week, this would have been a one sit read. I had such a hard time putting it down and ultimately stayed up way past my bedtime to finish tonight because who needs sleep anyway?! I absolutely adored these six and could not get enough.

I always worry with so many main characters they're going to be hard to separate from one another, but Thea and Clover did such a wonderful job giving each and everyone of these men (and Raven too) their own unique personalities. I could easily tell from the dialogue and narrative who's chapter I was on which was so wonderful. And I loved them all so much, it was fantastic.

The mystery of the third act surprised me. Not only did they keep me guessing, but I was very much expecting the Olympics themselves to be the antagonist, and while they were, we also got a villain or two in there as well. This book was so fun, so hot and an absolute joy to read. I loved it.

Thank you so much to Thea Masen for the advanced copy!

“We needed to be here for her, even if she doesn’t know.”

This book hit all the right spots for me! The book hooked me immediately from the very first chapter and just wouldn’t let me go until the very last moment. I loved the pacing and the ease of sinking right into the effortless way this book reads. The characters were so lovable in spite of, and because of, their flaws. The book struck a really fantastic balance between outside conflicts and relationship obstacles. I’m honestly so happy I got to read this book.

The characters developed effortlessly through my read, and remained very independent people. I love that there were multiple relationships developing within the pack on-page. You get to experience so many different feelings through those experiences and I just love love.

I really loved the flow of this book. It was SO easy to just sink in and devour huge chunks and I wouldn’t even notice how much time had passed.

I love this series!

This was a fun read! I love how this series is centered around the universes version of the Olympics !
Raven isn't my favorite type of FMC though . She's a bit of a pushover 😏 I understand that she's under a lot of pressure, especially trying to live up to her Olympic winning ancestor.
But she shows absolutely no backbone to the people trying to control get life.
She was so concerned about letting people down.
Luckily by the end of the book she's finally started to come into her own and put her foot down when it matters most 🖤

Foster is your typical broody stoic bodyguard that can't help but to fall.
Vann is the golden retriever of the pack and only wants to please EVERYONE 🥴 So much so that he went along with the bullying of Raven when they were in High school 😏
Tanner is pack lead and a major tool and the source of the problem in the beginning (he gets it together 😉)
Orion is the go with the flow, voice of reason.
And sweet Rhodes is the beta who just wants to know he belongs 🖤
He identifies as demisexual and I love how his story is represented in this one 💗

There is a nice bit of angst, mystery and betrayal that keeps you turning the page, but overall it's a good vibes easy kind of read 📚

Knot Letting Go was another great read in the OlympicVerse, and honestly, this world just keeps working for me. The mix of high stakes Olympic competition, omegaverse chaos, and messy pack dynamics is exactly the kind of unhinged fun I come here for.

Raven was easy to root for from the start driven, talented, and finally getting her shot on a stage that hasn’t always wanted omegas there. The sports elements (figure skating and curling!) were surprisingly engaging, and I loved how the story balanced competition with pack politics, pheromones flying, and emotional tension. The bullies-to-lovers angle added extra spice, especially with the lingering guilt and second-chance energy woven throughout.

That said, this is where the half star comes off for me. With such a large pack, I occasionally got lost in who was who. Some of the characters didn’t stand out as strongly as individuals, and a few personalities blurred together, which pulled me out of the story at times. I wanted a bit more distinction to really latch onto everyone.

Still, the humor hit, the romance was intense, the heat was very heated, and the emotional beats landed more often than not. As a standalone set in the same universe, this delivers and if you already love the OlympicVerse, this is a must-read.

Another solid, sexy, chaotic win for this world.

For the rest of my life, when people ask if I kept up with the 2026 Winter Olympics… I’ll say yes. And it’s not a lie, I kind of did (I watched ice skating and read this book) 😂 if you know me, or you’ve been here a while you know I love Omegaverse. I also love a grovel. And I super love a bodyguard. AND I love seeing queer representation in romance as well! This is my second Omegaverse by Thea and Clover and I loved this just as much as the first one. There’s the perfect balance of storyline, spice, humor, and relatability. This was such a fun read, definitely some heavier themes, but overall a good time!

I received an ARC of the latest installment in The OlympicVerse and was delighted to be back in that world again!

The storylines themselves have developed really nicely over the series and we're seeing an overarching shift around Omega rights and their ability to compete on the world stage - Raven is one of 6 Omegas selected to compete at the Winter Olympics on a trial basis, but some people still have strong opinions about whether they should be allowed entry.

Our MMCs (well, Pack West) are also competing for gold in the Curling, and have a long and rocky history with our FMC that makes for some interesting dynamics. Foster, our final MMC, is hired to be Raven's bodyguard whilst she's competing at the games.

As characters, I loved everyone but far and away my favourite was Foster! 🔥 Perfect blend of gruff, protective and sweet. No notes! I also loved Raven, Rhodes and Vann, who all had great interactions and chemistry. Tanner and Orion could have perhaps been fleshed out a teeny bit more, but sometimes that is the nature of novels with such a big main cast - some characters get more of the spotlight. It certainly didn't stop me from devouring this story the same as the ones before it!

Can't wait to see what comes next with Sadie's story.

Raven is the first omega to be allowed to compete in the Olympics. I loved that in this book we have a female playing sports in the omegaverse! As Raven is navigating all of the struggles that come with her new role, she finds out that her high school bully and his friends are her mates.

🐺 Omegaverse
⛸️ Olympic Athletes
🐺 MMMMMF
⛸️ Why Choose
🐺 Scent Matches
⛸️ High School Bullies

My favorite character was definitely Raven's bodyguard, Foster. He was so protective and played his role so well! I would've died to see him in gray sweatpants 🥵 I love how possessive and protective all of the men become about Raven. I also loved watching Raven stand up for herself and grow as an individual.

Favorite quote:

"If that means collecting packmates like Pokémon cards, well then... Gotta catch 'em all!"

This series has been so fun.
We're finally at a point where Omega's are allowed to openly compete, and Raven is picked to represent Team US. What she wasn't expecting was a hot bodyguard, her high school bullies showing up, and everyone just waiting for her to fail.

I loved the groveling, the demisexual rep (I see you Rhodes) and the sprinkle of shibari added in for fun (I see you too Foster).

Sweet, spicy and just enough sports words for me to understand whats going on!
I'm excited for the hint at the next story, it's 100% a sport I actually understand.

Thankyou thea and clover for letting me ARC read this story.

Thank you to BookSirens, Thea Masen, and Clover Holloway for this eARC!

These authors do it again with an awesome omegaverse romance! I really liked the dynamics this time around, with lots of conflict from the past, an already established pack clashing with her hot bodyguard, and a mystery of who wants to sabotage Raven’s hopes and dreams. I enjoyed Raven as the FMC, as she’s a poised ice skater trying to prove herself as an omega newly accepted into the world of the Olympics.

Her scent matches are all different guys; some already strongly in love, others still figuring things out. They all have different feelings about Raven, but when things take a turn for the worse for her, those feelings are clarified quickly. My only wish was for showing more of them altogether (emotionally AND physically 😉🫠).

Their HEA was so good for them all, and they all form such a good cohesive pack with love and support for each other. 💗

All opinions in this review are my own.

I don’t typically enjoy bully romances (or, in this case, ex-bully romances), but it wasn’t mentioned often so I was able to completely forget about it for a majority of the book.

I LOVED the demisexual rep with Rhodes!! It didn’t feel like it was just something thrown in there to be a gimmick for his character, he was a great representation for demisexuals like myself.

Out of the alphas of Pack West, my favorite was the excitable but slightly delusional Vann, who has a single-minded obsession when it comes to making up with his omega to the point that he goes against his pack lead’s orders and continuously sends her gifts using his knowledge of her from high school. However, my favorite alpha in the book was undoubtably Foster. He is such a perfect alpha to Raven, protective and attentive to her every need and want. He takes her accidental bonding in stride, ensuring she’s safe and happy while navigating their new reality.

Thank you, Thea and Clover, for giving me an ARC of this book!

This is the first in the series based in the Winter Olympics and we get an in-depth look at curing, a sport I know very little about. I absolutely love the Olympics in the omegaverse angle. It’s a natural pairing.

The established pack is a very endearing bunch of bros, they do a good job groveling once they realize Raven is in Italy with them. They are sincere about atoning for their past and communicate earnestly. The golden retriever vibes are strong.

Then there is then loner body guard who give strong daddy vibes and basically adopts them all. Hahah.

The spice is great. Lots of crossing swords and some knots and ropes. There are both group scenes and lots of pairing off and a couple of first timers.

“Apparently, Sadie was also right about how easy it would be to get laid. Although I can’t believe I listened to her when she told me that’s what I needed. What was I thinking last night?”– Raven

It is a cute, sweet, and satisfyingly spicy omegaverse romance set during the Winter Olympics. The story follows Raven Novak, a talented figure skater who unexpectedly runs into her former high school bullies—now members of the U.S. curling team. When a plan to sneaking out to party for a supposed fun night out, quickly spirals into chaos involving an accidental bonding, the facing of unresolved history, the discovery of tampered heat suppressant and the addition of a protective body gard added to the mix you get : Knot Letting Go.

One thing I really liked about the book was the different characters point of views. Getting inside each character’s head helped me understand what they were thinking and feeling, and it made the characters feel more real. I also found Raven pretty relatable in a lot of parts, especially with how she reacts to situations and her inner thoughts.

The pacing was good, but felt a bit slow leading up to the big events in the first chapter, but once things kicked off, the story sped up and kept my attention. There were a couple of spicy scenes 🌶️ which added to the story without taking over.The romance was sweet and satisfying, so if you likes enemies to lovers, accidental bonding, reverse harem (MMFMMM), former bullies to lovers, bodyguard x client, second chance or omegaverse tropes. I would definitely recommend you reading Knot letting go.

Knot Letting Go by Thea Mason is an engaging and emotionally charged story that we truly enjoyed reading. Set against the high-stakes backdrop of the Olympic Games, the novel follows Raven Novak as she navigates the pressure of competing on the world stage while confronting a painful past and unexpected connections. The blend of competitive sports, personal growth, and redemption is handled thoughtfully, giving depth to both Raven and Pack West as they are forced to reckon with who they were and who they want to become. Mason does an excellent job balancing tension, character development, and heartfelt moments, making the story feel fast-paced yet emotionally grounded. As a standalone entry in the OlympicVerse, Knot Letting Go delivers a compelling mix of drama, determination, and second chances that kept us invested from start to finish.

By Thea Masen and Clover Holloway
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is definitely going in my top 5 omegaverses
I loved everything about this, from the characters to the world building to the plot.

When Raven accidentally bonds her high-school bully, her world turns upside down. Trying to keep out of the news while competing in the Olympics, when she gets unexpected heat flashes, she needs her Alphas... and her absolutely perfect beta

Rhodes was my favorite from the beginning. The way he realized he might actually like Vann more than just as Pack Mate. But he was also so scared they'd not want him as their beta anymore once they got their omega ❤️ I love his random facts throughout the day 😆

Orion, Tanner, Vann, and Foster are perfect alphas. They love their omega with all their heart ❤️

I picked this one up because the pack dynamic and i had a good time! The story blends Omegaverse/ Olympics (Olympicverse) bodyguard romance, high school bullies,, accidental bonding, and MMFMM in a way that kept things engaging

One of the most intriguing threads was the mystery around the sugar pills figuring out who would want to do that added tension and curiosity. That said, I would’ve loved a bit more depth around the intentions behind it, as the explanation felt a little too light for such a significant choice.

I also really appreciated that she didn’t win her Olympic event. It would’ve been the easy, predictable outcome, and instead the authors chose to let her struggle, lose, and grow from it. That choice made the story feel more realistic.

Rhodes I adored as a character, and watching how gently and naturally he integrated into the pack was incredibly sweet and rewarding. The pack chemistry as a whole was a big win for me.

And of course, I’m always here for a HEA.

If you’re drawn to pack-focused stories with heart, tension, and a solid emotional payoff, Knot Letting Go is well worth the read.

Thank you to the authors and publishers for an ARC in exchange for an honest review

Every once in a while I pick up an omegaverse novel to change things up. I am happy to have had the opportunity to read this one.

Definitely sweet and really steamy! I enjoyed all the characters and really appreciated the demi sexual character. I like being able to see how others think, feel and interpert the world.

I enjoyed the theme of second chances, found family (?) And acceptance in the book.

I am glad to have discovered this author and look forward to reading the other books in this series.

A big thank you to the authors for the ARC. This review is of my thoughts and feelings and was left voluntarily.
