Knot That Pucking Scent: Part Two
Timber knows I'm an omega, and everything has changed. He still thinks his Luke and Kane's Ollie are two different people, and I want to quit the job and run before he learns the whole truth, because I'd rather hurt myself than hurt him with my lies.
But there's only so much I can resist when they turn up the pressure. My beefy coffee-scented mate on one side whose touches drive me wild even though he can't trust me, and my suave lavender-scented alpha on the other whose smooth words and touches bring me peace, even though I can't trust him.
Kane won't stop with his plans, and with my heat so close, I'm struggling to find reasons to keep away from them that make sense. Because getting down and dirty with two hockey player sounds like the best remedy for my aching heart.
Knot My Pucking Scent is a cozy MMF age gap ice hockey omegaverse romance with a dose of cross-dressing madness. It's essential to read Part One before starting Part Two. This is a standalone duet set in the Knotty Puckers universe, where each book features different players falling in love thanks to their meddling match-making manager.

This was a perfect ending to this duet. The pining in part two here was *chefs kiss*. There maybe wasn't much grovel for the kind of forgiveness that felt needed but I can see how it was just right for Timber Kane and Ollie. The story touches on the struggles that Ollie faces as an androgynous omega who neither wants to deal with normal gender roles nor her second gender. We get to see Timber fighting to trust his own heart and instincts and Kane learning that not everything goes to plan (in fact it often ends up completely backwards). This was an amazing read and I would absolutely recommend it to whoever likes Omegas, cinnamon roll and golden retriever alphas, gender fluid FMCs, and so much tension that you actually feel it.

⭐ 2-2.5/5
🌶️ 4/5 (part two)
Going to hide this review due to spoilers and rants.
I'd like to point out the things that I truly enjoyed about this duet before I highlight the things that caused the lower rating.
I LOVE that Abby included an androgynous FMC, the twin swapping aspect, and a scentblind alpha. Granted, twin swapping is a little more common than the other two mentioned, but I love the uniqueness and the grab that these things had on me. AND don't forget Luke, our amazing twin brother who loves to crossdress. I love him, and I hope there's a book with him in the future with a certain alpha.😜 I love love love the MM relationship in this one, the spice scenes were so hot and worth the read by themselves if I'm being honest.🥵 There's many hilarious parts in the book from the oatmeal, to the scarf (my fav), the spacelanding lol. But especially with Luke (the real one) and I wish we were able to see more of him.
The spice in the first book is very minimal at like a 1.5/5, but the spice in this one heats up, especially from Chapter 39 and on. I think the heat alone was like 10 or so chapters lol.
Now onto the rant, I know some won't agree, but that's okay. 🖤
As stated in my previous review for book one, this is a sloooow burn, and I had hopes that things would start to fix in the earlier part of book two. But really, Timber found out the double-life around 40%, and the relationships in this entire book didn't even truly fix 100% imo.
I'm probably an oddball, but I just could not like Ollie due to her personality and selfishness. The constant shifting of blame and making Kane out to be the bad guy when she's the one who continuously deceived her traumatized scent match. She wasn't even going to come clean about her lies, just high-tail it out of there with no repercussions. For her to call Kane a POS when he was just trying to get the pack to form and to find solutions to fix things for everyone is baffling to me. The way she treated Kane as an afterthought all the way through to the end, and the extent of her deceit, even knowing what Timber has gone through, made her irredeemable. Look, I get it that she had a solid reason in book one; she wanted to make sure her brother was good. I'm sure anyone would do the same for their siblings. But Kane offered solutions at the beginning of book two, and they were shot down, and she actively chose to continue to string Timber on. To me, that excuse (for her brother) is no longer valid. Too proud for help, but okay with hurting one of the people the universe picked out for you. Makes sense.
A line she states to Kane, but I feel like it should have been directed at her: "I can't trust you if I don't know whether what you're saying is what you really want, or if you're just sprouting lies because you're manipulating us." Huh! Ollie, you're the one who is running around doing exactly that. Did I miss something big that Kane did that warranted this? I don't think he did anything wrong. They weren't willing to work on things, and he wanted to push them in the right direction.
Honestly, I felt super bad for Kane throughout this entire book because he was made out to be this awful, reckless alpha, and to me, he was the opposite. Kane was definitely sidelined, and his connection with Ollie wasn't really built. From Ollie's love confessions for Timberfrom the middle of the book, to her ignoring and sending one-word replies to Kane's texts, to outright saying she would not be with Kane without Timber and would not have a pack without Timber, it's like Kane was an afterthought. There are so many things that bothered me when it came to how Kane was treated. When she told him she loved Timber, but she couldn't forgive him (Kane). When they assumed Kane took those pictures and released them. But most of all, when she easily forgave Timber and wanted to "mess with him" when she found out about the cameras, but Kane had been the bad guy basically over nothing lol.
Example numero two: "I went silent on Kane all the time, but it felt like Timber was totally dismissing me, and I can barely stand it after everything we've been through." - Ollie

Review of advance copy received from Author
This was a great conclusion to a fantastic duet, in a phenomenal shared world series.
“I don’t want a friend, Kane. I’m happy by myself.”
“What if you need one though?”
There was so much emotion in this duet. The battle that goes on within Timber himself as his past trauma collides with his present, preventing him from taking a chance on his future. I just wanted to wrap him up in a fuzzy blanket and protect him from the world.
"It's up to you to say yes to us, Timber. You're the one with all the power here."
Then there's Kane. Just like in book one, he's a chaotic, michevous alpha with a heart of gold, even if his methods are...questionable. Despite that, you can't help but feel a little bad for the guy. Ollie's condition is both or none. If Timber walks away, she walks away. So, he kind of gets stuck in limbo, pining after both of them for so long but stuck behind the wall that is Timber's trauma.
"You're got to realise you've scent matched with a seriously needly alpha. One you choose me and we bond, I'll be sticking to you like glue."
They all f*cked up in this equally. Timber with the cameras, crossing boundaries he knew he shouldn't. Kane with his pushing and slight manipulation to get the pack he desperately wants and Ollie (that one is self explanatory lol). Difference was, Ollie was the only one who didn't do it for herself. She did it for her brother.
"I'm just using them as a radiator that comes with a c*ck"
I loved Ollie's attitude and personality. It was so much fun to read. I look forward to seeing them cameo in Noa's story which is definitely on my tbr!

Knot that Pucking Scent Part 2 is the 6th book in the Knotty Puckers Series by Abigail Hunter. It is essential that you read Knot that Pucking Scent Part 1 before you read this book. Knot that Pucking Scent Duet is a standalone duet in the Knotty Puckers Series.
Now this is how you end a fantastic duet, especially a duet that is part of a phenomenal shared world series that has been absolutely well done.
Abigail packed this duet with so much emotion. I found that I could understand the battle that Timber goes through when his past trauma collides head on with his present, thus preventing him from taking any chances on his future. I wanted to wrap him up in my arms and tell him that I understand and just protect him from the cruelty of the world.
Kane remains the same he was in the 1st half of this duet, he remains the chaotic, mischievous alpha who has a heart of gold, even though his methods are somewhat questionable at times. Despite this, you can’t help but fell somewhat bad for Kane. Ollie’s condition is either both or none, and then if Timber walks away, you know that Ollie is going to walk away too. So you know that Kane is stuck between a rock and a hard place in limbo, he’s longing for both of them but ends up getting stuck behind the wall called Timber’s trauma.
Kane, Timber, Ollie are all traumatized and neurotic equally. Timber with his cameras, crossing boundaries he knows full well he shouldn’t. Kane with all his pushing and slight manipulations to try and get the pack he’s desperate to put together. And Ollie, I think that’s self-explanatory. But, with Ollie, she doesn’t do it for herself, she does everything for her brother.
Through it all though, I loved Ollie’s attitude and her personality. And this book and entire duet was just so much fun to read. I just loved this duet so much and I can’t wait to see them make their own cameo in Noa’s story, and that’s a book that’s already on my TBR!
I loved this duet and if you haven’t read Knot my Pucking Scent Part 1 and have moved to Part 2 then you need to get on to it ASAP! This is a great read; Abigail Hunter did a knock out job with this duet and it is worth the read and I highly recommend it.
Some of my favorite quotes are:
"I'm just using them as a radiator that comes with a c*ck"
"You're got to realise you've scent matched with a seriously needly alpha. One you choose me and we bond, I'll be sticking to you like glue."

Love, Lies and Their Cost
This was such a satisfying ending to the duet, and I honestly love the entire series so far. I’m completely obsessed with hockey romance, and this one was right up my alley.
Ollie is carrying some heavy feelings about her time in Timber’s house. Pretending to be her brother to help get their business off the ground and pay the hospital bills seemed like the right move at the time, but it ends up creating deep trust issues with Timber. When Ollie finally decides to leave, everything spirals. Emotions collide, truths come out, and Timber’s trust is shattered, leaving him unsure how to move forward.
And then there’s Kane, the chaotic mastermind that he is. His plans, though well-intentioned, backfire spectacularly and only add fuel to the fire, causing even more complications for this trio.
What I loved most is how deeply they needed each other. Timber needed his alpha and omega to help rebuild his broken heart. Kane needed his alpha and omega to ground him and rein in his golden-retriever prankster energy. And Ollie needed both alphas to show her that she is more than just an omega; that she is valued, chosen, and loved far beyond her designation.
I’m so glad they all got their hard-earned happy ending. I’m also incredibly intrigued by Luke, he was instantly amusing, and I fell for him right away. I cannot wait for the next book in this series.
Go Scorpions!! 🦂🏒

Justice for Kane!! 🥺
OK yea, I still don't like Ollie 🥴
I feel like she was completely immature in the way she handled her entire situation. I'm already not a fan of the miscommunication trope but her personality made it sooo much worse!
I continued reading because I absolutely LOVED Kane and he deserves better than both of his mates 😏
I felt like Ollie used him so badly in this. She continued to play with his emotions, then proceeded to be mad at him for EVERYTHING! Timber isn't my favorite either. He definitely has a good reason to be cautious but he constantly put his hands on Kane and made him feel like absolute crap fir the majority of the story 🥺
All Kane wanted was for everyone to tell the damn truth and be happy together!...lol they don't deserve him at all 😏
The spice came in towards the end of the story and that heat scene alone warrants a 4 chili rating 🥵🌶️
Finally seeing Kane and Timber together was extremely satisfying 🥵
That alone made the book worth reading.
I'm glad I got to experience that part because I don't think I would read it again without it.

This was a phenomenal conclusion to an already fantastic duet and a standout in this shared world series.
The emotional depth hit hard, especially Timber’s internal battle as past trauma crashes into his present and threatens his future. I just wanted to protect him and see him finally believe he deserved happiness. Kane remains the chaotic, mischievous alpha with a huge heart, and even when his methods go sideways, you can feel how desperately he wants his pack. His limbo between Timber and Ollie was painful in the best way.
Ollie absolutely shined. Her attitude, strength, and selflessness made her impossible not to love. She made mistakes, but always for her brother, never herself, which added so much emotional weight. The trio’s missteps felt realistic, messy, and earned, making their eventual healing incredibly satisfying.
What I loved most was how deeply they needed each other. Timber needed healing, Kane needed grounding, and Ollie needed to be chosen for who she is, not her designation. Watching them finally come together was everything.
A deeply emotional, beautifully written ending with a hard-earned HEA. I’m obsessed with this series, instantly intrigued by Luke, and cannot wait for what’s next.

This was a true, breath-taking finale to their duet. The longing and aching in part two was simply electrifying — it seeped into every word, every pause, every silent moment. The story delves deep into the raw, honest struggles Ollie faces as an androgynous omega caught in a world that refuses to define her, refusing to fit into the mould of traditional gender roles or her own secondary gender. You couldn’t help but feel your heart squeeze at Timber’s fierce battle to trust his own heart and instincts, fighting through doubt and fear. And Kane — oh, Kane — learning that life rarely goes according to plan, often spiralling into chaos just when you think you’ve got it all figured out. This book is an absolute powerhouse of emotion — a rollercoaster of tension so thick you can almost taste it. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who loves Omegas with fiery souls, cinnamon roll kindnesses, golden retriever alphas bursting with loyalty, gender-fluid FMCs who break all expectations, and stories that grip you so tightly, you feel every heartbeat in your chest.

OVERALL:
This was defiantly worth the cliff hanger from book one. Holy h3ll. I couldn’t put this book down. The heat and tension was well worth the wait. Ollie really did fall hard for her alphas and she was ready to give up her job, to make sure nothing happened with Timber, cause of his past ex. But bam, he figures it out. Now Ollie is going into heat and Timber and Kane have to get to her. Well, Timber goes into a rut and Kane had to get creative with scarfs and holy heck. The heat and spice between them was FIRE. I mean down right dirty and so so so good. You will want to read it. It is well worth it in the end.
10/10 Recommend pt 1 & 2

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — 5/5 Stars
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 — 5/5 Spice
“Initiating docking sequence” 😂
This book absolutely delivered. I was hooked from start to finish. Between Kane constantly shoving his foot in his mouth and Timber carrying enough trauma to fill a whole series, there was never a dull moment.
I spent most of the book feeling genuinely bad for Kane—he just wants someone to love him, but wow does he choose the most chaotic ways to show it. So many secondhand-embarrassment moments.
And Timber… I have such a soft spot for him. His trauma, his growth, his heart—I was cheering him on the entire time. This is omegaverse done right.
And the spice? Oh, the spice is SPICING.

Okay after that cliffhanger we jump right into things with Ollie, Kane and Timber.. scent matches and tension galore. I still love Kane's energy, but I feel so bad for Kane and Ollie for the situations that he gets them in.
The character development in this book is outstanding. Even though the way everything came about wasn't according to plan, They all learn what they need to work on and work to become better people if they have any hopes of becoming a pack.
Plus the spicy scenes in the book!! They definitely need their own warning label!!
I want more of Luke and I can't wait to read Noa's story.

I absolutely devoured this read. We pick up where the previous book ends, Timber knows part of her secret, Ollie is super stressed about what to do and Kane is doing what he can to get them all together. I loved how Kane was determined that they were all going to be together, even if his tactics are not the most desirable. The battle Timber was going through in his head was heartbreaking, not knowing who and what he can trust to be right. Ollie is doing her best to do the right thing, even when her omega part of her wants to take over. I loved this conclusion to this duet and can’t wait to see what’s next from Abby Hunter.

I enjoyed this, I think.
Thankfully it started right after part one. But there were so many parts where conversations would have helped. Or therapy. I would have loved to see Timber or Ollie go to therapy for any of their issues. Compared to book one, this one did ramp up the spice.
I was glad to see some of our favorite side characters: Luke and Noa. Getting to see Luke and Kane actually interact was so nice. I was hoping we'd get more for Luke and Timber. But other than a small thing, not really. Our favorite comedian is only needed when it's time for the jester hat.
This is not a book that I think I'll reread but I also don't regret reading.

Oh oh Ollie! That sassy little omega and her pack of alphas had a way of winning your heart.
We return on part 2 with the meeting of Luke and Kane. The alphas are trying to dive deep into the beings Kane knows as Ollie, but Timber, thinking she's still Luke, watched her obsessively on camera while Kane tries to pull them all into a pack.
Feelings are hurt, a heat is on the horizon and poor Ollie is torn between her love of her men and her guilt at what she's doing.
This book has it all, great hockey, love, angst, heartbreak and the conclusion we all know but hope it won't happen.
Once again this author had made a book you can't put down, so glad I got to read this.

The second part of a duet, we find Timber, Kane and Ollie working out the ramifications of Ollie's deception. While it was not maliciously done, it caused issues. They decide to acknowledge they want to be a pack and we see them working it out to be together. Their previous decisions caused them a great deal of distress and trust issues and it was interesting to see it disentangle along the way. This story, while a bit long, it brought a satisfying conclusion to this tale. If you like omegaverse reads with caring alphas and a gender non confirming Omega, this is the book for you.

Thank you for starters to Abby hunter for letting me beta read this it was absolutely amazing. I absolutely love both parts of this so much. I really like all the characters and the emotions that run all over in this story. I ate this book up like it was nothing reading it quick as I possibly could. I love anything Abby hunter writes she always does a fantastic job.
Quote that made me giggle:
"You're got to realize you've scent matched with a seriously needly alpha. One you choose me and we bond; I'll be sticking to you like glue."

Part 2 of the book continues the drama between the main characters of Ollie, Timber and Kane. There is more drama and need to forgive/make up between all of them, but it all resolves in the end with an HEA. Good story, enjoyed it and the banter (initiating docking sequence lol). Kane is the overenthusiastic golden retriever, Timber the softy grump, and Ollie is herself, fighting her omega as she prefers to dress more androgynously.

This book truly wraps everything up and puts a nice bow on it. The relationship between these three was not easy to come together, but after a bit of stubbornness from Ollie and Timber, Kane finally gets what he wants and more. Be prepared because the spicy scenes are not for the weak! I love how this story picks up directly from where part 1 ends, and the transition was flawless. Be prepared to have all the emotions when reading this book, including comic relief from Ollie’s twin, Luke.

I loved the conclusion of Ollie, Timber, and Kane’s story! They definitely had some things to work through, but they were eventually able to get to a good place together. Spicy yet sweet. Timber was able to see past the trauma from his ex-wife to understand where Ollie was coming from and why she did what she did. Kane was a little crazy with his machinations trying to get Timber and Ollie together, but it came from a place of love. So great!

Great book. This was the conclusion of Ollie, Timber and Kane’s story. Timber had trust issues rightfully so. You find out why in the first book. Ollie was going to leave Timber’s house but her heat had other ideas. Timber and Kane rushed to the house because Timber had cameras and he saw the state of his house and he thought something bad happened. Definitely worth the read. Loving this whole series. They are all by different authors but the characters overlap.

I really enjoyed this arc. I kinda wish there was a bit more communication afterwards but for the most part everything was resolved. I really enjoyed these character still and I liked how much more real it felt for them to all get pissed off at each other and still love each other. Definitely recommend!

This was the best way to end the story of Ollie, Kane and Timber, it was all worth the wait in the end. I absolutely loved Ollie and her sass, Kane and his neediness, and Timber with his stubbornness. Kane knows how to take charge when it comes to his mates and does the job well. I highly recommend reading part 1 and 2, you won't be disappointed. I can't wait to see what comes next.

Great ending to the duet! So much drama once everything unfolds... like hit the fan kind of drama! But ultimately, I love how the three of them overcome the drama, the hurt feelings, emotional overload, and lean on each other... give each other a second chance... a love worth fighting for. Great read!

This book was like a train wreck with a happy ending lol. It was so good. I loved how it picked up directly from the first and went head first into the rest of the story. A lot of emotions in this one. But it red great seeing things finally come to light and get resolved. This duet was wonderful and I’m so glad I got to read to it.

I was lucky enough to to be chosen to read this one very early and I couldn’t wait to see the finished product. Part one was fabulous and part two concludes this duet in such a satisfying way that I loved this book. Timber is a big ol teddy, Olly is a sweetheart but the mischief maker that is Kane is hilarious. Great read

this book was so good their was ups and downs for Ollie and her mates. They had to work through some previous trauma and get over the little white lies but when they do they do it for the better read it and find out what happens.

Oh my goodness this ending! Lots of chuckles here, but also these 3 working through their hangups was well done. Love the pop in's from some of the other characters in this series. And I really hope Luke gets his own story. Until then, on to the next Knotty Pucker!

Knot That Pucking Scent, Part Two by Abby Hunter is the sixth book in the Knotty Puckers shared world and the finale to the duet included in this series. I loved Ollie, Timber, and Kane getting their HEA. So good. Love this world and am looking forward to more.
January 31, 2026
The conclusion to Timber, Ollie and Kane's story. This was a rollercoaster of emotions. I truly did not know if they would have a happily ever after or a tragic ending. Add lots of spice, a twin brother and a best friend. A must read.

This was the best way to come back from a cliffhanger....to go right back into the story. This is best if read back to back. Once it gets hot it gets hot. These men have it hard for her and she is perfect for them.
