Rate this book
A Snowvale Howlers Omegaverse Novel
A Standalone Reverse Harem Hockey Romance

Wren Foster plays by her own rules. As the PR manager for the Snowvale Howlers—the league’s most brutal pro hockey team—she’s the only omega in a den of alphas… and no one is supposed to know. Her secret is held together with black-market suppressants and sheer willpower.

But suppressants fail.
Instinct doesn’t.

When a dangerous heat hits, Wren escapes to a remote cabin to ride it out alone. No bonds. No witnesses.

Except three already know her scent.

Her stoic captain.
A dangerously charming goalie.
And an ice-cold beta with secrets of his own.

They follow her into the storm—masked, feral, and primal.

What begins as a heat becomes a hunt.
And survival means choosing more than just herself.

Because being claimed by three isn’t about surrender.
It’s about choice—and the fiercest kind of love.

A standalone slow-to-medium burn Omegaverse romance featuring reverse harem / why choose, paranormal romance, hockey romance, forced proximity, primal chase, winter isolation, and a scorching polyamorous romance endgame.

I love books. Not just a little bit, but a lot. Books were my best friends when I was growing up. Books didn’t care if I was new to a town or to a class. They were always there, my trustiest of companions. Until they turned on me and said I had to write them.

I can tell you that my own personal happily ever after included writing books. I’ve always said that an HEA is a work in progress. It’s true in my marriage, my friendships, and in my career. I am constantly nurturing my muse as we dive into new tales, new tropes, new characters and more.

After seventeen years back in Texas, we relocated to the Pacific Northwest in search of seasons, new experiences, and new geography. I can’t wait to discover what life (and my muse) have in store for me.

Maybe writing was always my destiny and romance my fate. After all, my grandmother wasn’t a fan of picture books and used to read me her Harlequin Romance novels.

Friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, friends to enemies to lovers, you name it, I love them and love to write them. I started with Earth Witches Aren’t Easy, the first in the Chance Monroe trilogy, but my characters and I have traveled a long way since I created that urban fantasy world.

One of the series I hear my readers recommend the most is the Untouchable series followed in quick succession by the Vandals, and that just delights me. No lie, whenever one of my readers brings up my wolves, I do a little a fist pump.

I’m active on social media, and I love hearing from readers. Feel free to tag me with a question about any of my books, or just say hi!

~ arc review

this is heather’s first OV book and i think this was solid 4 star read

i liked how ferocious the fmc was in her work as a PR for the team, how she didn’t back down and had alpha energy even though she had been hiding as an omega for 10+ years

the mmcs are pretty great, roan gives stability, jay gives wisdom and rhett gives a soft place to land, and you can differentiate them from the getgo

this book is solely focused on building their relationship and trying to make it solid without it being forced, respecting boundaries and how to navigate things after the heat happens

however, it’s fair to say that i felt the book dragged from like 30% to 60%, bc it was very focused on the “what ifs” and the unresolved and bottled up feelings and restraints they all had, so it felt a bit repetitive to me atp

after this particular mark, i felt that we got the groove back and i was able to fully enjoy the story — the pace was better and although the main focus was the relationship still, we got the outside world too and how they made it work when real life starts again

another point that made me give this a 4 is that i needed *more* specifics from this OV world, because it was briefly mentioned in the beginning of the book but i feel like we could have more info about it, especially about omegas in the workforce, how packs were formed if they are formed, what is normal, what isn’t normal and what is frowned upon.

i also missed how wren’s designation was felt by the team as a whole… so i guess maybe i needed more side characters input or a inner thought or conclusion from the mmcs or wren herself about what was new.

either way, i had fun reading this and i expect her next OV to be more polished and intricate :)

I’m an omegaverse lover and a Heather Long lover, so this is right up my alley. I was so excited when the announcement came, and Knot On Your Pucking Life delivers. Wren, the FMC, is a badass head of PR with a sharp wit, a quick tongue and an iron spine. She instills a whole lot of awe with a side of fear, and we all know that men who are a little bit scared of their woman make the best partners. Roan, Rhett and Jay make a wonderful combination, and I loved the way they view each other’s worth and complement in personalities. They’re so good to and for Wren as well, and she keeps her strong personality throughout their story. I’m going to be honest though, I don’t think I’ve ever read an omegaverse with emotions this tumultuously intense - this story takes you on a ride, that’s for certain.

The storyline grabbed me from the first chapter and didn’t let go until a while after reading. Quite often, omegaverse is a wholesome love story, but the storyline played a rather big role and the story wasn’t just over and done with a happily ever after right after a heat together, and I really appreciated that. Wren is a force of nature and I loved seeing her in her element, as an absolute powerhouse, and I loved that she was the pivotal figure all throughout the book. I cannot wait for more Heather Long omegaverse!

I love Heather Long's writing and was excited to read her first Omegaverse romance. I'm not usually a sports romance reader, but this book was very character focused, which I was grateful for because I know nothing about hockey.

Wren is the PR manager for the Snowvale Howlers. She is incredible at her job and strives to keep everything professional between her and the players. As an omega surrounded by alphas and betas, she uses suppressants to keep her secret. It becomes more difficult to keep her distance as the suppressants start to fail and her heat begins. Especially with three very observant players in particular Roan, Jay, and Rhett. They have always respected Wren's boundaries and will continue to do so, but if she is struggling and they can help, they want to be there for her. In any way she needs.

I love Omegaverse books and Heather Long writing her first one?? Ummm, yes please! This book is so good. You have three hot hockey players, two are Alphas and one a Beta, and a pr for their team that is keeping a secret, what more could you ask for!

Wren is fierce and strong and definitely holds her own around all these men. Makes hard for her to ask for help at all.

Roan the captain, Rhett the flirty one, and Jay the observer, all notice Wren and with that know something is going on with her.

What happens when secrets are found out and feelings start getting involved? Read this to find out what happens!

Ok let me start by saying that I have been a HUGE Heather Long fan for like EVER! I was so shocked when I heard about this book, and a bit confused lol. This is Heather's first foray into omegaverse  but let me tell you she NAILED IT!

Most of the Omegaverse books I've read are typically about damaged omegas who are just trying to survive, with Alphahole Alphas who eventually show their sweet side...

That is not this book! This story is about a good pack of Alphas and a beta who want nothing more than to take care of their omega. CONSENT IS A MUST!! They recognize her as a boss from the beginning and accept and admire her for her strength which I absolutely loved!

This is a standalone story about Wren, She was the head of PR for the guys' hockey team, hiding her omega status with the use suppressants to keep her secret. she has major alpha energy even though she has been hiding as an omega for years! When her suppressants start to fail and her heat begins, she goes on leave to hide out until it passes. Only this cause a few players to worry!

Roan, Rhett, and Jay are  swoonworthy. They are two alphas and a beta that play for her team. They are drawn to her  and respect the fact that she is a strong independent women. They become really concerned when she is missing for a little while and decide to go and see if they can help... and help they do!

This story is really heart warming with a woman not used to trusting people enough to lean on, and three delicious men who complement each others personalities perfectly and show her that taking that leap of faith is worth it!

I Definitely recommend this book!

I really enjoyed Heather Long's newest story and her first foray into Omegaverse! This is a standalone story about Wren, a PR for the Howler's hockey team. She's been suppressing her omega side for years to make sure her boss side is always front and center especially when working with a bunch of Alphas. This doesn't a couple players on the team from being drawn to her and to always appreciate her boss side. However, with the playoffs coming up, it's unfortunately at the same time Wren needs to run away for a few days to have her heat. Roan, Rhett and Jay follow her to make sure she's ok. I loved all the care Heather put in to making sure that consent was always followed for all the steamy moments that followed. You could see how this quad cared for each other, respected each other and made a true found family. Being new to Omegaverse, and having each OV have there own unique rules, I felt there was worldbuilding that could've helped with understanding packs, marks, as well as more about why Wren felt she needed to suppress her omega side for so long. There's so much to work with I really hope Heather continues to write in this world because I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Really enjoyed this story! It is a VERY smexy story. This was also my first Omegaverse and without much information about that, I was a wee bit confused. The story helped, though, so don’t let it cause any worry. Wren Foster is a, let’s call it a repressed Omega, and is head of PR for the Howlers hockey team. Dang, she is great at her job! Roan Whitaker and Rhett Navarro are alphas on the team (Roan is the Captain) and Jay Kim is a beta – also on the team.

The story is about the four of them becoming a quad and the fight that they have with their own feelings, society’s norms, and the rest of the world. What I loved about it was Wren was SO strong, even when she felt all her control, and decisions, were taken away from her because of her being an Omega and life’s norms for all of them. And the guys, especially TWO Alphas, always made it her choice about what happened next. Their Beta, Jay, was a calming influence and really made the four of them work.

The relationship buildup was it for me. You’ll have to read the story to get this reference but Boots had it goin’ on!

Knot on my pucking life by Heather Long
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶🌶🌶💀💀
A first for Heather Long. Hockey omegaverse. Wow, what a ride. A puck to the gut fun. Lol! The anticipation, the angst, the glory and the care. All swoonworthy.
Wren is an omega in hiding, but that doesn't take away her strength and commanding presence. Being the PR for the Howlers hockey team. Lines were draw early and stoic Roan will not cross them ever. Until Wren goes on leave and the quiet Jay and flirty Rhett made him realise that Wren is it by her heat. Things exciting.
Tropes
One bed. Cock warming. Snowed in. Primal chase. Heat. Knots.
Quotes
“I don’t know how to do this.” That was it. Not whispered like a secret. Just laid bare. Raw. No walls left. I opened my eyes. Jay saw it first. His head turned just slightly, like he’d known all along I was awake and had been waiting for me to step forward. Wren didn’t notice as swiftly, then she glanced up and met my gaze. It was a physical blow that reached right into my soul. Once I knew I had her attention, I answered her earlier statement. “Then we learn.”

“Well,” he murmured, lips curving. “Game on.”

“Hard and fast, little flame?”

OMG I wanted to scream about this book from the rooftops. In a good way.

This book hit me and I did not know how to respond. This was not dark but it was raw and unapologetic and just plain good. This was Heather's first foray into omegaverse and I am here for it. If she wants to take a run at more I would gladly drop everything and read it. She took the basic gist of it and just took it as it is. Just a good pack of Alphas and a beta who want nothing more than to take care of their omega.

Wren Foster is a no nonsense PR manager for a Hockey team. Roan and Rhett are the Alpha hockey players. Jay is the beta that rounds everyone together and is the calming influence for the group. When chaos is running amok which it seems to be the norm here in this book. Or if you're in PR, just a typical Monday I guess. I absolutely loved it and I hope there's more!

I have loved Heather's books for so long, and I was surprised by her dropping into the OV, but as with anything else from her, this did not disappoint!!

Wren is a high-powered head of PR with the Howlers hockey team...she's also an Omega hiding her designation. Roan, Rhett, and Jay are two alphas and a beta that play for her team, and have seemingly been drawn to her for quite some time. After being told she must stop her suppressants and an extra stressful time at work, Wren takes some time for herself, only to be followed by the guys. The story follows as the guys show Wren she can trust them to help her, the Playoff process, and some other twists and turns, for this pack to eventually find their HEA. This is a 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 read, with 3.5 🌶 🌶🌶 spice. This spice is a little on the slow-burn side, but it's seriously on point once things heat up.

Despite the fact that this is the author's first endeavor to omegaverse let me tell you she is no stranger to wolves behaviour and alphas and omegas.
She has been doing this a long time and of course the author knows how to do her readers right.
The story is an absolute standout, delivering a story that is both addictive and emotionally rich. The characters are vibrant, deeply layered, and instantly memorable, each bringing their own voice and energy to the page. The chemistry between them is electric, built through sharp dialogue, shared history, and moments of genuine vulnerability.
Emotional beats land hard without overshadowing the fun and heat of the story.
it’s a powerful blend of heart, humor, and intensity that leaves a lasting impression.
I hope we get to see more of the Howlers

An omegaverse hockey book you say? Count me all the way in!! First, I absolutely love the spin the author put on Omegaverse lore. We get all the delicious bits we love in an omegaverse - multiple partners, knotting, nesting, primal play - while also having a FMC who is incredibly strong, goal oriented, and full of sass. She’s no simpering omega who is going to lie down and take anybody’s crap…or knot.

Not only is Wren fantastic, but the men…wow. They are there for her without smothering her, CONSENT IS #1, and the amount of silent support they lend her, whether that’s having her back on the team or in the bedroom, is too tier.

Plus the hockey is top notch!!!! Not just a background note, but fully integrated into the story.

Highly recommend this book!

Knot on your Pucking Life is Heather Long's first omegaverse. I will say that this book doesn't follow the typical omegaverse rules, so it took me a little bit to wrap my head around this world. This is a slow-burn but does get steamy as the story progresses. My favorite part of the book though was the hockey drama surrounding a potential trade.

I liked Wren and how strong she was throughout the book. She was focused on her career and struggled to see how she could be an omega and have the career she wants. Jay, Rhett, and Roan were great characters and I really enjoyed the dynamics between them and Wren.

If you want a new omegaverse read or enjoy hockey books then I would recommend grabbing this book right away.

I’ve always enjoy story featuring a strong woman and men who respect them for their strength plus it is an omegaverse! Wren’s men were so soon worthy. 🫠 Roan, alpha, dominant but respectful of boundaries. Jay, beta, peacemaker and caretaker and Rhett, alpha, was a golden retriever and impulsive.
The story tugged on my emotions in a good way and was so heartwarming. It is a hockey story so a lot of cheering and yelling was involved. It was an absolute delight to read.

This is a complete standalone featuring:
* reverse harem / why choose
* hockey romance
* omegaverse dynamics
* winter isolation
* primal chase
* found family
* and a fiercely independent heroine who refuses to be defined by instinct alone

ARC Review

I love all things Heather and Omegaverse, so I was FERAL to lean that my faves were colliding in ‘Knot on Your Pucking Life’.
Wren is a PR badass for the Snowvale Howlers, keeping her Omega designation a secret for over a decade. When her heat hits and Wren disappears, Rhett, Roan and Jay can’t keep their feeling for her secret any longer and follow her.

Knot On Your Pucking Life is Heather Long’s first Omegaverse novel, and I really enjoyed reading this and getting to know the characters. Wren was definitely my favourite but I would have liked to get a bit more back story to the MMC’s and include some more side characters.

Overall I rated this book 4/5 and 2.5/5 for spice

Anything Heather writes, I'll read. And when I saw she was releasing her first omegaverse, and with hockey too?! I was sooo excited when I got it on my kindle. This was amazing!

Wren was the perfect FMC! She was the head of PR for the guys' hockey team, and she was fierce. She's been hiding her omega status, until she couldn't anymore. I loved the storyline, and I was hooked from the get go. This was an amazing standalone romance with so many amazing characters. Wren and her guys had the best chemistry!

I don't want to spoil anything, but when the spice hits, it hits good! It was so hot and feral. The alpha energy was great!

5/5 "Your job is to protect the team,' he said, voice low and even.' My job is to protect you." My first ever omegaverse and I am sold!! Three hot hockey players and an FMC who knows how to put people in their place?! Say less!! Wren is the head of PR for the Howlers hockey team. She has been blocking herself and when she has to stop, three dreamboats help her through the storm. Roan, the fierce Alpha captain, Rhett, the charming goalie, and Jay, the calm beta. The chase, the spice, the banter!! Heather has done it again and I cannot wait to see more like this from her!

Well its official this author writes it and I will snap it up and read it. Wow i loved every second of this book , you would never guess this is this authors first Omegaverse. It was action-packed filled with all the things I love in this trope. Wren was amazing and her Howlers were sooooo swoony , I possibly couldn't pick a favourite between the guys. This book was filled with plenty of steam and had me gripped throughout. Phenomenal five star read that I would definitely recommend and im keeping everything crossed we get more Omegaverse in the future.

I absolutely loved this book! Heather is always a one click author for me, so when I saw she was doing an omegaverse for the first time I was beyond excited! I devoured it in one sitting. Wren is one hot Omega that runs the Hockey Team’s PR department- but she really runs the Hockey Team. Without her they would be lost. She also knows how to make some Alphas Howl on and off the ice. If sports romance and omegaverse are your thing, then you do not want to miss this.

As part of Heather’s content team I already love her writing. This was a surprise but still had that Heather chaos feel we all love! Wren is a powerhouse FMC who refuses to bend to her biology. The banter with the team is excellent especially between Rhett, Roan, and Jay. The way they are there to support her in any way even if it’s just to simply quietly stand behind her is fabulous and an amazing example of relationship goals.

As a general rule I don’t read a lot of sports nor omegaverse. I find omegaverse leans towards major trauma which I don’t enjoy! However I do enjoy Heather Long, so I gave it a go. I really enjoyed it. It was fun, a bit different and I liked the characters.

I wish there had been an update at the end about the asshole, you know which one I mean. Did he go to jail? Was he punished? Was he shamed in the media - I want him shamed in the media, the scum bucket.

Good book.

What's an Omega supposed to do? Wren, the head of PR of the Howlers has a unique problem. She's in a bit of a bind, and her "guys" have helped her out, through her heat, without her blockers. Now to figure out if it's only because of the heat instead of the attraction....Two alphas, one beta along with Wren- the Omega, all Howlers. And they will protect what is theirs at all costs.....Fabulous Omegaverse by Heather Long!

What a great plunge into OV for Heather Long!!! I loved the characters and the dynamics. When was anything but prey - oh no, she is in fact the heart, soul, brains and spine of steel for the Howlers. Roan was the main Alpha and he was string yet sweet. Rhett is her sunshine alpha who will turn feral in her defense. Then there's Jay - the one sees her, who always sees her. It was so cute, sexy and just an awesome read.

I mean, I'm feral for Omegaverse and I love Heather's books, add them together and I'm happier than a kid on Christmas morning visiting a candy shop. Wren is a strong, confident girl boss and the way she handles those hockey boys has me wanting to be her when I grow up. I’ll just be sitting here hoping we get another story out of this world.

this was everything i wanted in a slow... to medium burn! ANY book where the MMCs fall first, i will eat it up like cheap pizza on game day! Roan, Rhett and Jay are perfection, possessive, caring, HOT! and Wren is a power house of a women. I love how fierce she is. The perfect sports Romance, with the Omegaverse elements1 Literally left you still in suspense all the way until the very end!

This is the first time Heather Long has written omegaverse and like everything she touches, it's simply brilliant. I don't think there's a genre Heather can't write. I loved the book so much its made me want to watch Ice Hockey which is saying a lot 😁 Amazing characters and storyline, but I'd expect nothing less from one of my favourite authors.

I have loved a lot of books by this author. Unfortunately this isnʼt one of them. I donʼt think every author is meant to write omegaverse especially if the book is going to come out reading like a Sinclair knock off. 😬
