What do you do when your carefully curated, picture-perfect life comes crumbling down around you?
Andromeda Sterling. My name is synonymous with so many things. Daughter of the infamous star of The Real Omegas of Beverly Hills. Social media darling. Good girlfriend to a powerful nepo-baby alpha with the right last name. I've spent my entire life playing my part perfectly.
Until one violent, humiliating night at the Grammys leaves me single, bleeding, and running from paparazzi hungry for their next scandal. My mother already has a plan to fix my forcing me right back into the arms of the man who hurt me.
Instead, I stumble into an alley with Beckham Knight—the entertainment industry's first male omega pop star—and catch him on his knees in front of his very male, very alpha manager.
When the cameras catch us all together, we spin the only story that saves us both. Beckham needs the world to warm up to the idea of a male omega in the spotlight. I need protection from a mother who'd sell my safety for a headline.
Everything is supposed to be meticulously planned. No risk to my heart or body.
So why does the stunning pop star make me feel more alive than I have in years? And why am I so drawn to his brooding manager, his razor-sharp publicist, his powerful record-label executive, and the seasoned reporter hell-bent on exposing our ruse?
Funny how the universe works sometimes. Because this fake relationship is making me realize that despite everything the world expects of me—I'm Knot their Starlet.

I have been a big fan of Cassie’s books but this one didn’t hit the spot for me unfortunately.
What I did like was that the book was in a rock star setting. Also, the craziness and vileness of Cassie’s mom …. So well done 😈. I wanted to throttle that wench hard 💀.
The pack of guys seemed off to me. A male omega, alpha, and beta together with two of them kinda together. Then two more males which will be added to the pack eventually … Beckett’s music producer/label owner old enough to be their dad 😖 and a journalist thats going to make a documentary about them.
The pack would have made more sense if they had already added Everett, the music producer to the pack already. Two alphas then. And made him younger, same age as the rest (daddy alpha for the much younger pack was kinda gross 😖). Adding the random journalist Cameron made little sense. At least Everett had a link to the pack.
I would have given this book a slightly generous 3.5 ⭐️ but I rounded down to 3 for the performative use of pronouns for the added character which was just a blip in the book and unnecessary 🙄.

Amazing! This was a devour worthy read, so I devoured it. Andromeda was an Ann’s m amazing FMC and I loved the guys. Quite the collection I must say. And I might be a little jealous about them. But omgosh, this was that freaking good. It was intense and chaotic. I couldn’t put it down. I was definitely obsessed with this one and I cave wait to read more..

2.5 stars.
My bad, I did not realize this wasn't a standalone until 3/4 of the way through the book. It's an agonizing slow burn, and new love interests are introduced far into the book before I felt even the beginning relationships were established. I still feel like most of the relationships are on rocky ground by the end, while others seemed to be instant. There's some character growth with the asshole alpha (not a lot, but some), but everyone else just sort of...falls into place as part of the pack. We get maybe some ideas that they're into the FMC and can't take their eyes off her, and that's it. They're invested now and they're gonna take care of her and she's gonna accept it because she's a neglected omega being taken care of for the first time in her life.
That's also the reason why I think the asshole alpha is nothing but an asshole to her, but her heart absolutely melts into a puddle when he randomly brings her coffee one day. 💀
Anyway, the storyline is SO interesting, but they're all just kind of fumbling around while outside parties force their hands over and over, and we're just along for the ride.
It also didn't feel like an omegaverse until the book needed it to be an omegaverse, and then it would stop feeling like it again. That's crazy for two omegas in a pack! And the male omegas in this universe are a NEW occurrence. That should be a much bigger part of the story!
With that said, it does present the abuse these characters experience in ways that feel very sadly realistic ways. The ex who beat her feels guilt and shame the next morning and apologizes (this is NOT me excusing him). He also offers her much needed words of comfort for dealing with her mother before he leaves. She doesn't take him back, but that interaction has her feeling the complex and confusing pain of getting comfort from someone who is no longer safe to be with, and also mourning a relationship she had found comfort in because he'd betrayed her safety. It's complex and real. There are other situations with other pack members dealing with their families or histories that have similar effects. It's not a single-lens view of abuse, which I rarely see in what I've read. Major props for that.
The cliffhanger had me rolling my eyes, but that's just my own reading preferences. It was a stong cliffhanger moment, I just hate what it means for the next book.
Also big side eye for using American Eagle as their only named brand sponsorship in 2026. 😒😒😒

I went into this book thinking it would be a sweet, romantic why-choose based on alphas, betas and omegas. A fluffy, fun read. Which it is, but it ended up being so much more. The FMC Andi, is a social media influencer and stuck in a toxic relationship not only with her abusive boyfriend, but her horrifyingly narcissistic mother. This is where it got a little uncomfortable, for me, because I saw myself in so much of Andi, and saw my Mum in so much of her own. Not to the extent Andi experienced, but for a lot of it, I felt like this seemingly romantic book was holding up a mirror to myself and who I am as a person, as a daughter and as a now woman growing up in a childhood of constant turmoil and conflict, being manipulated so thoroughly, I didnt even realise it. I, like Andi, made constant excuses and justifications for the way I was treated. I, like her, got defensive when people tried to open my eyes, even professionals and psychologists. So reading Andi go through these similar discussions, and same emotions, was difficult, but also enlightening. I became so glad that Andi found such supportive, kind and considerate men, who helped her see that the life she was living, isnt normal and isnt acceptable. I loved seeing her confidence grow, and how she started to differentiate her own voice, with that of her mother's. The psychologist scenes, made it clear at least to me, that the author also likely has similar experience, whether as Andi, a partner, support person, or professional, or is just fantastic at portraying difficult situations. It was handled with such care, and mirrored my own sessions with multiple therapists. I also found the aspects of two omegas being drawn to one another interesting, as most of the omegaverse books out there focus on only one omega in a pack. Was it a little insta-love or at the very least insta-lust? Sure. Probably a little too much, for my own personal tastes, but I also acknowledge that this may be due to the fictional omega/alpha/beta pack dynamic, considering we are talking about fictional, fantasy characters and not humans living in the real world. So I was able to explain that away relatively easily, or at least justified it to myself as personal preference. I thoroughly enjoyed the progression of Eli, from the grumpy, tactless and hurtful alpha to the caring, protective and possessive 'guard dog'. The scene were Andi supports him in his own tough visit with his dysfunctional family, was incredibly sweet. The book does end in one hell of a cliffhanger, which I dont enjoy whatsoever, but that again is personal preference and is only because I am dying to find out how the guys get Andi out of that very tricky, very controlling, situation. I did find myself annoyed at Andi during the last scene where she strolls into danger without so much as a text to any of the guys to give them a heads up, since they would have wanted to go with her and keep her mentally and physically safe. She went with them for their own tricky conflict scenes, so why would she not take at least one of them with her? It was frustrating, and completely naive of her, considering she should know better by the last chapter of the book, considering we are consistently told how smart she is. Overall, a fun read and I will absolutely be picking up book 2 when it comes out on August 2026.

Review to Come!
The short version:
I'm sorry to say this was not my cuppa tea. The writing was good, but the story itself was meh. I'm not usually too much of a fan of superstar romances. Except for Hard Rock Beautiful series by C.M. Stunich or Falling for the Superstar 1&2 - Vertical Drama (if you haven't seen it, you should! Its cheesy but good). Oh, and I can't forget to add Ironside Academy series (which is an Omegaverse reality TV type story by Jane Washington. It sooooooo good!).
So, I felt a bit against starting this book especially since I loved Callie Clark's last release Falling for the Pack's Omega.
When I received the ARC of this book, I was excited to read it though, because I like Callie's writing style. Which I want to clarify was AWESOME! She is seriously talented. I especially, love to make this point since I have been catching a rise of AI in writing and I think that when a writer truly loves the craft enough to put their heart and soul into this art, it definitely shows in their story and writing style. Therefore, I applaud writers like Callie who write with their hearts.
Things I didn't really care for:
⚠️ A lot of issues could have been solved with a bit clearer communication between the characters. This wasn't a major thing for me, but sometimes I didn't like how some of the characters reacted to things which reinforced this part.
⚠️The characters seemed uncoordinated since half of them weren't in the pack dynamic yet. Even then, the members within the pack seemed disconnected too. For example, since Eli and Beckham are in an MM relationship, it kind of leaves Leo out of it since Andromeda met them first. Then Leo kind of out of the blue (despite the slight flirty scenes) starts kissing and dating her. It felt a teensy bit left field. Eli is fighting the relationship so hard that it basically feels like it brings another wall to the relationship's development too. It also doesn't help that Beckham feels really needy (being that he's an Omega). I feel like it made the dense soup of overwhelming emotions smothering with no balance since the other alphas (who would've balanced them a bit more) weren't a part of the pack yet.
⚠️ Didn't meet Cameron until after 62%. He's not even mentioned yet. This is basically where I DNF-ed the book, but it just seemed weird that we don't really meet all of the MMCs until near the end of the book. We do meet most of them, but half of the time they weren't really connecting with the FMC.
⚠️ Characters were a bit wishy-washy slash whiny. A lot of the characters seemed to be so wrapped up in there feelings (which comes back to the miscommunication issue) and it felt like it was dragging the story a bit. This wasn't a major issue as I was able to skim through a lot of it (I mean I did get to 62%), but it wasn't something that I enjoyed.
Things I did like:
💜 The writing style was clear and easy to follow. The pace was okay and I did like the characters for the most part.
💜 I liked that the FMC was trying to overcome her trauma and took Beckham's.
Lines that I enjoyed:
🌟His blood orange scent is still sour with anger, but I can tell he's trying to tone it down. Whether it's for Andi or me, I don't know. Maybe both of us.
"How did he get in?" he bites out. "Were you stupid enough to open the door?"
Okay maybe he's only trying to tone it down for me. Because that question was stupid.
🌟"You shouldn't be. Your injuries-you should have someone checking up on you every two to four hours for the first night with a concussion that bad."
"When did you talk to my doctors?" Andi huffs. "I have a n alarm set. I'll be fine."
"An Alarm won't be able to call an ambulance if you don't turn it off," Eli bites back.

No mention of the cliffhanger
I dislike cliffhangers. I have strong opinions, but I don't generally write anything up. I just wait until the full series is out to read any of the books. This time, the blurb does not mention a cliffhanger, but it leaves with a doozy of one. So, the book is getting a 3. It might be a 4 or a 5, but this is definitely a big frustration for me in the writing trends of the past half a decade or so.

Andromeda Sterling has spent her entire life under the thumb of the Hollywood paparazzi, mostly because her manipulative mother is one of the stars on The Real Omegas of Beverly Hills. Andromeda is the ultimate Hollywood nepo-baby, but her life is anything but glamorous. After a terrifying incident at the Grammys where her alpha ex, Ezra, attacks her and leaves her bleeding, she runs for it and ends up hiding in a dark alleyway. That is where she literally crashes into pop star Beckham Knight and his manager, Everett. Beckham has his own massive problems navigating the music industry as a male omega.
Instead of comforting her daughter, Andromeda's toxic mother treats the assault like a public relations nightmare and forces her into a fake-dating arrangement to salvage their family image. But what was supposed to be a media stunt changes everything when Andromeda finds a genuine sanctuary away from the cameras with their MMFMMM pack-to-be. She grows closest first to the core three—Beck, Elijah, and Leo—while Everett starts dropping his professional management boundaries to grow closer too. Meanwhile, Cameron, a demoted journalist turned paparazzi, is hell-bent on exposing their ruse, only to get completely tangled up in the group instead.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved how distinct every single guy felt through their different perspectives. Everett is exactly the kind of protective, comforting alpha you want in a story like this. Those little moments where he just quietens everything down and cooks for Andromeda were some of my absolute favourites. Beckham was another massive highlight too; having a male omega pop star who is dealing with his own celebrity mess gave him and Andromeda this instant, unspoken understanding.
What really beautiful to watch was the existing dynamic between Beck and Elijah. They are best friends who grew up together, and Elijah has always been the one helping Beck through his heats. Along the way, genuine love has formed between them, and the book does a fantastic job of showing the tension as they try to navigate their growing feelings and changing dynamics, all while trying to process Andromeda’s sudden arrival.
What really made the story for me was how the pack builds a fortress around Andromeda to block the villains. While Ezra is the physical trigger who causes the initial trauma, it’s her mother who is the real monster here, trying to force her back into her abuser's arms just for a reality-TV headline. The way the guys step in to shield her is brilliant. Everett uses his corporate power to completely shut her mother down, Leo uses his PR genius to outmanoeuvre the media manipulation, and Elijah acts as a literal, growly physical shield to keep Ezra away. The romance is a beautiful slow-burn because Andromeda is dealing with so much emotional fallout, making her gradual journey toward trusting each member feel completely earned. The tension on the club dance floor when things finally started to shift between them was spectacular. It all builds up to a massive cliffhanger that cut off so suddenly it genuinely caught me off guard, leaving me desperate for the next half of the duet.
If you love celebrity drama, high tension, and the kind of romance where a bruised heroine finally finds a safe place to land, you will love this one. The writing is incredibly atmospheric and captures that lonely side of fame perfectly. Just be ready for a massive cliffhanger that leaves everything hanging in the balance.

Knot Their Starlet gutted me and I’m grateful for it.
Andromeda Sterling is the daughter of a reality-TV omega and has been molded into the perfect accessory for her powerful alpha boyfriend. After a violent incident at the Grammys goes public, her mother tries to shove her back into that relationship for the optics. Instead, Andy ends up in an alley with Beckham Knight — the first male omega pop star — and his manager. Paparazzi catch them together, so they spin it: fake dating to rehab both their images. Andy gets protection from her family; Beckham gets help normalizing a male omega in pop.
It’s supposed to be business. It is not business.
What worked for me:
Andromeda’s arc. This is a book about image vs. self and Clark doesn’t flinch. Andy starts the book dissociating through her own life. Watching her reclaim anger, boundaries, and desire was cathartic. Her trauma isn’t used for shock — it’s the engine for her growth. She gets to be furious and still lovable. I needed that.
The omegaverse as social commentary. Using the entertainment industry to explore how omegas are marketed, controlled, and consumed is smart as hell. The PR team scenes are claustrophobic on purpose. The way headlines literally dictate safety? Chilling and believable.
The pack. MMFMMM is a hard balance and Clark nails it. Beckham is charismatic but not invulnerable. His manager is the controlled, older alpha with a past. The publicist is vicious and competent. The label exec has real power that makes every interaction loaded. The reporter adds outside pressure that keeps the plot moving. None of them feel interchangeable. The power dynamics are uneven, messy, and negotiated on-page, which I appreciated. Consent is explicit and ongoing.
Prose & pacing. Sharp, propulsive, and very funny when it wants to be. The first 30% is a sprint. It sags a little during a mid-book press tour, but the back half earns the slower setup.
Spice: Open door, multiple partners, M/M present. If you want only F/M, this isn’t it. The scenes serve character and plot — they’re not just dropped in.
What didn’t fully work: I wanted one more beat with Andy’s mother that wasn’t mediated by other characters. She’s such a force in Andy’s head that I wanted Andy to confront her directly before the book ended. Since this is book 1 of a duet, I’m hoping we get it in book 2.
Content warnings: Depiction of past domestic violence off-page/mentioned, on-page panic attack, media harassment, slut-shaming, explicit sex, BDSM elements, power imbalance kink, alcohol use. Please check the author’s full list if any of these are hard lines for you.
Readalikes: If you liked the industry critique in The Idea of You by Robinne Lee, the bite of Honey & Spice by Bolu Babalola, and you want it with omegaverse stakes and a why-choose pack, pick this up.
I closed this book and immediately sat in silence for ten minutes. Callie Clark wrote a romance about a woman deciding she’s not for public consumption anymore, and I felt that in my bones. Book 2 can’t come fast enough.
Format read: eARC
Final line status: wrecked but hopeful

Knot Their Starlet is the first I had read from Callie Clark.
I wasn't entirely certain what to expect, as far as how the relationships would develop from being a contract into an actual romance, but there isn't that long of a wait.
Although the physical aspect is a slower burn between Andi and the guys, Clark definitely keys in pretty fast on them being fascinated by the damsel in distress - Minus Eli, of course, because there needs to be one hold-out.
Now, as far as the tropes, we're getting a few different things going on.
- Damsel MC
- Hurt/Comfort
- Forced Proximity (not of the one-bed variety but of the "a contract binds us together" variety)
- Fake Relationship (though it's not fake for long)
- Daddy MC
- @sshol3 at first meet MC
- The cinnamon roll, super supportive beta
- Male Omega who doesn't know how to omega
What I liked: With Andi's mom being our resident "villain," the pack has good reason to come together, and readers have a laser-pointer directed at who they need to hate. I feel like there aren't a lot of "gray" characters here, which does make the story simpler in a way. Beck, Eli, and Leo are all likeable, and I did feel like I was getting enough to tell them apart, which means Clark solidly avoided one of my major reader pet peeves. Even when Eli is being a major grumpasaurus, I think it's pretty easy to read through why he's being that way, so we have enough cause to like him because we know he'll come around.
I'm most interested in Daddy Everett, to be honest, so I'm hoping he gets more page time in book two.
What I didn't love: There's a last-minute addition to the group, Cameron, a journalist, and I feel like he didn't make a strong enough impression given his late entrance. Totally up for giving him a chance, but right now, I'm not really sure why he *needs* to be part of the pack as opposed to just staying a side character. I mean, I'm also assuming here, but usually side characters don't get their own POVs unless they're going to become part of the fam.
Round this up to a 4-star read.

I don't think the insta-fascination is worse than the average OV book, though, honestly. Combine the scent attraction aspect with the white-knight impulse that most MCs get when faced with a damsel, and Clark pretty much followed the formula that's been quite successful for many who have used it before.

The reality behind the starlet mask
Andromeda grew up in the spotlight for many reasons. Most of these reasons involved her mother (unbonding her father, reality tv star, forcing Andi into her own spotlight).
When her boyfriend doesn't win the big award he turns to drugs and violence against Andi. While trying to escape before anyone sees the damage she comes across a scene she shouldn't have seen with Hollywood's first male Omega, Beck, on his knees for another man. In this story Male Omegas are fairly new and it seems that same sex relationships and even packs are not super commonplace.
The instant connection between Beck and Andi was actually pretty adorable. Them meeting was not at the best of times but he was instantly protective of Andi. I actually loved that Eli absolutely despised her at the beginning. This story really shows that the person shown to the world and who they really are can be so very different.
I was intrigued at how Andi just kept accidently drawing these men to her. They were quick to realize they didn't truly know the woman and they became very protective of her. Each of these men are so very different and bring something unique and different to the pack. I loved Seeing Eli thaw to her after being called out for jealousy was adorable to watch. I look forward to getting to know the men more. I am also very excited to see how the spice comes out because this book was a slow burn.
I wanted to scream at Andi that she needed to run far far away from her Mother on so many occasions. I did appreciate that she was finally starting to see what she has been blind to all these years. The manipulating this woman has done is astounding and just kept getting worse.
I couldn't put this down and I have to say that cliffhanger snuck up on me and I was absolutely unprepared.

Review of ARC read
This book is one of those books where you get 60% in and you’re like “oh no I can see the book is coming to an end, but the story has only just begun!”
I truly enjoyed this story. I do have a passion for the Omegaverse trope, but I do appreciate sometimes they all follow a similar pattern.
Well this book is not like that at all.
To start with, we do not have an established pack. We are introduced to all characters individually, and it’s great to see how they start to come together.
Secondly the spice is very low, with the story actually concentrating more on the trauma behind the main character and her personal development.
Still you can feel the tension between the different characters, which still gives you that giddiness you may look for in an Omegaverse romance.
Finally there is 2 Omegas in this story, 3 Alphas and 1 Beta. As packs go, I would say I’ve never come across a similar set up.
As I said I really enjoyed this story, and the cliffhanger really did get me!
The relationship between the FMC and her mother is the main focus of the book, and it is the part that will really rile you up.
I think the author has portrayed abuse really well, showing us how “easy” it can be to change the perception of somebody, just because somebody else said so.
The only reason why it wasn’t 5 stars for me is because there was a few scenes where I felt we sort of “skipped past them a bit” and I wish we had a bit more insight on what happened, or a bit more romantic tension.
Still I can’t wait for the next one!

Thank you Netgalley and Callie Clark Publishing for giving me an ARC copy.
I love omegaverse stories. I think it would be a great book for people who are trying to get into the genre and are a little nervous because while there is omegaverse in the story, it's not at the forefront of it and is on the less spicy end. I loved how easy it was to read, writing wise, so while it did take me a while to read because of work and prior commitments, it was there for a quick and fun time, I would be in one chapter and the next thing I know I was five chapters further in.
My main problems with the book is that she kept introducing male love interests to the FMC and sometimes even the reader at strange times in the book. Like the characters were fine with the group that they had but then another character show'd up and the instant attractiveness was a little strange too. In addition, I wanted more emotional growth from the characters. I understand needing to save things for the next book, but I wanted more growth from the mmcs specifically to make them more well rounded characters overall, especially for Beck, Leo, and Everett. Also, around chapters 20-33 I got really bored and I wanted more plot without the love interests involved because the plot centered around them a lot during that time.
Despite that, there was a cliffhanger and it's only a duet and I'm intrigued enough to want to read it.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
**Thank you to Netgallery and author for giving me this opportunity to read the Arc.**
My goodness, did this book drag me into the early hours of the morning. I devoured the pages as though I were stranded in an unbearably hot desert and the story was my only glass of water. Once I started, I simply couldn’t put it down.
Andi’s journey was both frustrating and rewarding to witness. Gina and Stuart had me grinding my teeth more times than I can count, and I frequently found myself wanting to shout at Andi to walk away from the toxic environment surrounding her. However, that’s what made her growth so satisfying. Rather than taking the easy route, Callie Clark allows Andi to gradually recognize that the life she has accepted for herself isn’t healthy, and watching her find the strength to demand more for herself was incredibly rewarding.
The emotional moments landed hard - Did I get teary-eyed when Andi reconnected with her father? Yes. Yes, I did. It was a beautiful and heartfelt scene that added another layer of healing to her story.
Overall, Knot Your Scarlett is an emotionally engaging read filled with growth, healing, frustration, and heart. If you enjoy stories about finding your worth, breaking free from unhealthy patterns, and embracing the people who truly see you, this book is well worth picking up.

Knot Their Starlet is the first book in the Starletverse, a Hollywood/rockstar omegaverse roamnce. I received an advance review copy and my thoughts are my own. Thank you to the author for my eArc.
Tropes and themes include:
✨Why choose (mmfmmm)
✨Hollywood romance
✨Fake dating
✨Popstar male omega
✨Influencer omega FMC
✨Grumpy x sunshine
✨He cooks for her
✨Traumatized MCs
✨Sloburn
✨Two omegas
Rating: 5/5 Stars 2/5 Flames
Nicknames: Starlight, Lucky Duck, Honey
The Lovely: I absolutely loved the main characters. The MMCs are wonderfully supportive of the FMC (especially daddy Everett) as she tries to get out from under the thumb of her toxic parent. Some of the MMCs have their own relationship struggles, and some are new to the friend group. The relationships the MMCs form with the FMC are unique to each MMC, which I appreciated. I’m rooting so hard for the FMC and her to-be pack.
Recommendation: I previously beta read this book and yet still the ending still startled me. It’s not a life and death cliffhanger but it’s dramatic and impactful all the same. I’m so glad book two is expected to be released in the fall of 2026. If you’re in the mood for a kind-of rockstar omegaverse romance with supportive and caring MMCs and a FMC trying to assert her independence, I think you’d love this book.

KNOT THEIR STARLET is addictive. Once I started reading, I was in the pages: feeling secondhand embarrassment for Andi, followed quickly by Ezra’s large hands wrapped around her throat and every blow she received; as I continued I found myself meeting and walking with the more of the incredible main characters as they became more and more infatuated with/intrigued by/protective over Andi; I felt anger every time her mother or Stuart spoke to her; also, I reached for tissues and my heart squeezed, when childhood truths were revealed. So much great writing going on here.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Sometimes "picture perfect" is not perfect at all. Sometimes the best you can hope for is keeping up appearances, because the truth just hurts too much.
This is certainly Andi's reality. Our FMC has been dealt a crap hand- a very public family image, an absentee father, a narcissistic, emotionally abusive, fame-seeking mother. Fortunately Andi crosses paths with another omega and his friends who help her to see she is not who her mother keeps telling her she is. Andi is strong, capable, kind, and able to love.
The individual relationships between each of her guys (cause, why choose?) are very different. Each is able to bring out something different in Andi, while she is able to support each of them at the same time. Each character has their own darkness in their pasts, but together, they help each other heal and find the light at the end.
I don't usually mind an occasional cliff-hanger, but in this case- terribly mean! I can't wait for the rest of the story in the duet ending.
A bit slow to develop, light in spice, but a delightful read.

Thanks to NetGalley and Calllie Clark Publishing for this ARC. This is my honest review.
My heart broke for the fmc andromeda and all the physical and emotional abusive she’s dealt with. All she wanted was safety and love and to experience pure happiness and her mom and her ex made that impossible. She was so kind hearted and selfless and had a playful I bite back side to her that slowly came out as she got comfortable with the mmcs.
And the mmcs were all perfectly unique and felt like their own people so it was easy to keep track of all five of them. And I loved that each one of them brought a new comfort to Andromeda. Eli was so attentive and reassuring, Beckett was so nurturing and sweet, Eli matched her bite back energy and was protective, Everette had a strong and steady take charge safety to him and Cameron allowed her to have someone to share her passion for videography with.
That cliffhanger though was brutal but made me so intrigued for the second part. I need to know how that all plays out. And I’m excited to see more of Cameron too and his integration into the pack.

I want to start by saying that I will read anything omegaverse. Its my favorite genre at the moment. When I saw this book was available on netgalley I jumped because I can never read enough about this genre. I can say that I loved this book. One thing that sometimes gets old in these types of books is the instalove that happens. They meet and are automatically in love. I love a book where they grow to care for each other and where it slowly builds the relationships. This book did that so perfectly. They try to figure out how they all fit together and I honestly loved it. I loved the characters because they were all sweet and understanding of the different circumstances. Beck is honestly my favorite character in the book because of how encouraging he is when they are trying to figure out their pack dynamics. One thing that I did not like was the late character POV that were either introduced later in the book or were not very present. It was confusing at first but it did work itself out. If you love a book with a found family you will love this book. Also that cliffhanger ending! I didn't know it wasn't a standalone so it took me by surprise and I can't wait until book 2!!

Do you ever read a book and just think wow, what do I even say. Well thats what this book did to me and not in a bad way. This book was amazing. Andi had a rough start with her boyfriend turned ex after the stunt he pulled when he turned to drugs. She turns to Beck for help and that makes Eli dislike her. I'm glad tht after some time his feelings changed because they really needed each other. I love Beck and his instant connection with Andi. The way that Leo had her back from the very beginning was heartwarming. I loved that for her. Oh and Daddy Everett, swoon worthy. I instantly loved him and got hot daddy vibes. I'm excited to see how things progress with the new alpha. Especially since they had a rocky start from the beginning. And I was so entranced into the book that the cliffhanger snuck up on me and I was not prepared. I need book two immediately! Definitely worth the read. Worth more than 5 stars.

Review of advance copy
I ended up devouring this! Andi and her men all drew me in with their personalities and growth during this first book. We get to see the relationship development helping their broken parts of themselves slowly heal and fix each other. Andi's complicated relationship with her mom and finally seeking to separate herself from it is really intriguing and excited to see what happens in the next book with this! This book is definitely slow burn but it fits with the plot and pack. Excited for the next book and can't wait to see what happens next after that ending!
I adore Leo and Beck with how relaxed they were with Andi, in helping to coax her into letting them into her life slowly. Elijah is the hot tatted bodyguard who definite likes to push Andi's buttons, really like this dynamic for them. Everett's and Andi's relationship is going to be full of sparks once they reach a more comfortable level and she releases the brat side out more, really excited for that! Cameron is still new so intrigued to see how he develops more with Andi in the next book.

This is an angsty read. Andromeda a.k.a. Andi is the daughter of a famous film producer and an infamous mother who will go to no ends to keep herself on top and in the public’s eyes at any cost. She is a manipulator that has abused and brainwashed her daughter into thinking everybody is out to get her, until her current boyfriend hits her while at an award show when he loses his category. Andi meets a male omega and his alpha while running from the show. Her life is topsy turvy now. She is lost... Beckham a male omega up and coming rockstar finds himself drawn to her. Andi life is changing and she doesn’t know what to do. Leo is the grounding beta for everyone. Can Beck become more confident in his craft? Will Andi ever believe that her is worth something? Will Eli ever tell Beck how he really feels? Everette is the CEO of Beck’s recording studio. Where does he fit into this story? This was a good read. My only problem with it ends in a cliffhanger. Ggrhhhh!

Really enjoyable OV. Can’t lie, I thought this was a standalone and at 81% I started getting worried bc C was still newly introduced so what would happen with him? Then it kept creeping further and I knew there was no way that it could tie everything up and give our MC’s a HEA. And boom, cliffhanger! So good news, there’s a 2nd book coming, bad news, we have to wait. You’ve been warned, it’s NOT a standalone and it DOES end on a cliffie. I really need a book 2 anyway.
Andi and crew are good characters, Eli I am still unsure about you because I will hold on to my grudge with everything I have. Leo and Beck are amazing. Everett is pretty great and would like to see more of him. Cameron is ok but we barely know anything about him yet. Andi’s mom can take a long walk off a short pier with Stuart handcuffed to her.
Some steam, but more plot which I’m good with. Would guess we will see more later. This has a lot of things happening as they are coming together and it is fake saying so if you don’t like that, too bad!

Well, I drank down this book like a milkshake on cheat day! I started it at a reasonable hour I swear! Next thing I knew, I heard birds. Never a good sign. So worth it! Also... not enough coffee in the world.
There are some pretty heavy themes in this one, dv, neglect, gaslighting. There are also a very sweet bunch of guys (some with their own trauma) there to help our girl.
I genuinely enjoyed the fact that the relationships are still growing and have a bit more growing to do. The bones are there for these lovely people and they are learning what it all means both together and individually. I look forward to more from the two new alphas in the next book.
This does end in a cliffhanger and while I'm not one to sit waiting impatiently for the next book to come out, I will say I'm excited for the next book.
If omegaverse is your genre, you will enjoy this story.

So initially this book had vibes of the author taking large plot elements of their favorite omegaverse books and smooshing them together. I don't think we have had enough published in the sub-genre to draw through lines to common tropes just yet (yes, i know AO3 is a thing with all the tropes but I'm taking self and trad pub here where omegaverse is not mainstream) but maybe this is the start of it. If it is, can I please be the first to say that I love the trope of 2 omegas/1 pack. And I would say the "developed late omega" is probably another.
But the book soon took its own twists and turns which I found very enjoyable. Holy Cow, Andi's Mom! I'm sitting here going "It's just a book, It's just a book." Reading scenes with her mom was painful. The narcissism and manipulation was horrifying.
Things I didn't love: The cliffhanger! It's a real one this time folks, actual peril involved.
I am very much looking forward book 2.

Andromeda exists in her mother's shadow, only useful when she can boot her mother's fame. But when she meets Beckham by chance at the Grammy's everything is about to change. She's running from her ex, who just hurt her. He's struggling to be himself amidst his newfound fame. And their fake relationship might be just the catalyst needed to form a pack.

I'm still reeling from the cliffhanger on this one. I need part two yesterday! Thankfully I only need to wait a few months. The fake dating to real pack forming trope worked so well for Andi and Beck. I'm so excited to see where it goes in book two. They both deserve the happiest of endings and the strongest of pack bonds. I loved how all the men supported Andi and wanted to see her break free of her toxic relationship with her mother. But my favorite thing about the book is Beck's childhood friends to lovers set up.

When I first read the blurb for this one I was super excited because I love 2 omega stories.
Andi is dealing with a lot her loser boyfriend and her crazy mother. When she runs from her boyfriend she literally runs into Beck in a compromising position in an alley with Eli.
Dealing with her crazy mother in the hospital she is basically forced to fake date Beck. Luckily Beck is on her side to help her.
This basically begins her story of building her pack and finding herself past her mother’s influence and control of her life.
I loved Beck and Eli not only them becoming accepting of their feelings for each other but also for Andi.
Loved Leo’s support for her starting on the day he met her.
I am so here for the daddy Everett vibe and readiness to help her find her voice.
I am still out on my judgment of Cameron but he was growing on me by the end of the book.
This one ends on a cliffhanger and I can’t wait for next one after her mom’s crazy stunt at the end of the first book.

This book is definitely a roller coaster that people shouldn't find relatable but also I know people who will, me included. Between the psycho abusive ex and the mother I can definitely relate. The thing that I adore though is that the guys are all easily there, supportive, and tell her when she's talking bad about herself what they see. They see her. I love watching Andi come into her own and the guys all connecting with her. Beck is literally my favorite (not just because he's an omega though).
The story really starts out strong and also ends on a cliff hanger and I'm sitting here (I beta read this and then ARC read it) and just like okay but I need book 2. I do recommend reading the TW since this does touch on some of the heavier topics and themes such as domestic violence, emotional and physical abuse and manipulation. Callie's writing is amazing and really does wonders to pull you into the story and also makes some of the most loveable guys on the planet.

Knot Their Starlet - Callie Clark
The chemistry is always unbelievable and so well written, and I’ve loved the tension and the dynamics that this author typically writes with their packs. I also love that this book uses a Hollywood setting, which I think is always so interesting. I love reading books with celebrity main character characters. Andi, Eli, Beck, Everett, and Leo are such an interesting pack and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
