Knot In Overtime: Cozy Hockey Omegaverse Romance
I come back to Boston with one survive the biggest reset of my life.
Some people reset with a new planner or a new haircut. I reset because a disease tried to end me—and failed.
Everything I knew, everything I was, has been stripped down to the studs.
So I’m starting over. New doctors. New city. New college, courtesy of my father—the legendary head coach of Old Harbor University hockey. I’m bruised, grieving, and furious at the universe, but I’m determined to rebuild. To reclaim my future.
What I don’t plan on?
Three alphas who smell like trouble, temptation, and every soft thing I’ve been told I can’t have.
Cash. Griff. Ward.
The golden trio of Old Harbor hockey. Campus royalty. Future pros. The kind of alphas who turn arenas electric and make omegas forget how to breathe.
They’re also my scent matches.
I don’t have time for alphas. I don’t have space for a pack. And I definitely can’t fall for the star players my father coaches. But Cash’s quiet intensity, Ward’s reckless charm, and Griff’s steady warmth wrap around me like a promise I’m not supposed to want.
They say scent matches are fate. I say fate has terrible timing.
After the year I’ve had, these three alphas could be my final undoing… or the beginning of a future worth fighting for.

Did Not Finish
April 4, 2026DNFd as soon as the dad threatened to bench them if they didn't drop her and they DID. And they had JUST bonded with her! She wasn't even angry with them, she was angry with her father. She had one conversation with him and then he backed off and she showed up at their house ready to tell them they didn't need to drop her anymore. Weak ass alphas are an ick.
Before this point, I was interested in reading the next book that was teased a bit, but that's a grovel storyline (my favorite when done right) and this gives me zero hope that it will be done right.

Messy, bit boring and stilted, ok premise with poor execution
This book is just a mess. Which is unfortunate because the premise and FMC are solidly good. Even the MMCs are decent. The rest is really not.
The author has zero grasp on details and continuity. You could easily convince me that this is an ai generated book simply because the details have no logic. At one point Cash moves behind Briar and she buries her face in his chest... The chest that is behind her? She has a private bathroom attached to her room but, immediately after establishing a flare of her illness, she walks down the hall to a communal shower? I have approximately 10 examples of these detail screw ups highlighted because they were so prevalent and absurd and annoying. And that's just the details that pissed me off with how egregious they were; most things got ignored.
The editing gets worse as the book progresses. Early chapters are reasonably clean but around midway, typos become stumbling blocks.
The pacing is very slow. Partly because it's all so stilted and boring. Partly because every single page is excessively soft, gentle, soothing patterns. It's college dorms and hockey games and medical emergencies but all I can imagine is a breathy zen hippy narration.
The world building is excessively lacking. Where is Briar's mom? Are packs typical because we hear pretty much nothing about them beyond Briar and the guys. Are omegas prevalent? Alphas? What is the deal with Briar's dad? (Beta? Disappointed alpha? Single? Divorced? Packed??) What about the movie idea? What happened with the English class? Why is there practically zero social interaction beyond Grace? Even for the guys we see nothing of their world beyond boys like hot cocoa.
While I do mostly like all of the characters, they aren't really well written either. They're all much too weak about everything. They're all much too whiney. They're all much too lazy, or disconnected to their own plans and responsibilities at least. So much just doesn't mesh well.
It's an open door, HEA guaranteed story. It's obviously fictional. I would not say there is anything truly red flag about the story (wussy poor decision making but nothing that even remotely tempts a bull). It's just poor quality. If you have KU and just need a filler, have fun but there are much better books in the same genre available.

Ended up DNFing at 89%. This contains spoilers near the end!
Finally, a refreshing omegaverse!
It's so hard to find an omegaverse where it isn't just the usual; the girl runs out of heat suppressants and is about to go through a heat, when these guys come and "save her" because they are scent-matched, and the guys get overly possessive and, again, try to "save her" from her old life. And the girl is always basically a fountain. Niagara Falls and all that (gross). So, it's nice to have a bit of reprieve from that storyline. However, I usually avoid sports romances because they are always the same: Always too much smut and never much about the actual sport. The words "Pucking" and "Hockey" are a ephamisim, if you will, in the bookish world.
But this story had a good blend of both.
I will say, the smut was weird to me. The way it was written made it all feel clinical and stilted. It wasn't as "slow-burning" as I would normally feel from other books. It was like: Let's just do it, and then they do, ticking off a list, and then it's over. One guy first, then the other, and then the last. Clinical. Just in and out, as if it were more of a chore than anything else.
But I will say, I love the banter and the conversations. They felt far deeper than most books I've read. Although I still felt some disconnect from the characters. But the inner monologues were thorough and well-grounded with each character.
With that said, as the story progressed, I found continuity problems. There were a few, but for example, it mentions that Briar has a room to herself with an en-suite bathroom. Which makes sense to me, given her medical history. But later, she mentions leaving her room to use the bathroom down the hall. So, which is it?
Alas, I'm not sure how this ends. I probably should just finish this book since I'm so close. But I'm just not feeling it right now.

This book was ok. It seemed like at times things went too fast and other times too slow. The development in the relationship was not really there. She had one kinda date and tutoring. Nothing really happened with Griff though. And her dad’s threats were just ridiculous and he folded so fast why bother. I would have liked the chapters with time jumps to have been labeled so I knew how much time passed.

ok I loved this book! It was just missing something for me, idk if this is it but when I read omegaverse, my fav part is nesting and this book had NONE! and it tore my heart out knowing it could have been included and this book would have been 5/5 easily. But the spice was spicy, the plot was soooo good, and the writing was honestly amazing.

Enjoyable
This book had a bit of deeper theme than most spicy omegaverse. It still had spice and good writing but there was an emotional element because the FMC is battling a Chronic health issue which affects the whole plot line. It was a good read and by the end I had to say I was invested in the thought she would be allowed her HEA.

I loved the chronic illness rep and how supportive they were. And how realistic her family was about her condition as well. This book was cozy-adjacent, had mentions of nesting but no actual nesting, and the spicy scenes were in between fade to black and explicit. They were pretty vague.

DNF. Poorly written, and the illness is badly represented. I couldn’t read it—the way it’s written is very bad.
It’s sad because the book’s concept could have been very good. And the friend tells her to go to an party? She is immudepressed with Vasculitis. It's not realistic.

I wouldn’t really call this an Omegaverse or it could have been written as just a why choose book. It’s boring .
