KnotMe #2
Match My Alpha: A Best Friend’s Brother, Pining, Fated Mates, Instalove MM Omegaverse Romance
I'm an omega with a crush on my best friend's older brother. He's a firefighter. He's an alpha. And he has no idea I exist — or that's what I keep telling myself.
Callum Hayes is steady and protective and so far out of my league it's not funny. Every Friday dinner at his sister's apartment, I sit across from him and forget how to use silverware. He makes garlic bread from scratch and asks if I've eaten enough, and has no idea I go home and press my face into an empty pillow wishing it smelled like him.
So I download KnotMe. Match with a faceless alpha whose DMs make me blush at work. He asks how my day was before he asks what I'm wearing. For the first time, someone on this app is actually talking to me — and I'm falling fast.
And the anonymous alpha I've been falling for? He's been pining just as hard. Now he's done holding back. And I'm done being quiet about what I want.
If you're looking for a cute and steamy MM omegaverse romance with a hookup app that delivers fate instead of a distraction, a firefighter alpha who worships his omega, a sweet omega with a bossy streak in bed, and a bond that's instant, possessive, and permanent — you're in the right place. No slow burn. Just major pining, a cinnamon roll omega, and a guaranteed HEA.
Match My Alpha is Book 2 in the KnotMe Series. Each book follows a new couple and can be read as a standalone. Series best enjoyed in order for maximum enjoyment.

whyyyyy ai?
I’ve kind of been worried that Lexie Slater was writing AI, partly because she has zero social media presence but also because of the way her books read. I was always on the fence…until this book. There were editing errors but the way the sentences read “he was there. Not loud. Just quiet.” Are so quintessentially ai that there’s no denying it anymore. There was also no real flow and the story was bumbling. I’m bummed but honestly not surprised anymore.

It's a sweet MM romance where the omega falls for his best friend's brother, the alpha he's been secretly crushing on for years.
Milo is adorable, he lacks confidence but he's a sweetheart, he stress bakes, apologises too fast, and just wants to be loved as he is.
Luckily Callum is the alpha up to the task, even if he has to do it via flirty secret messaging first, until he can't hold back anymore.
Loved the mutual pining and yearning, it's a fast burn with a secret relationship, and 2 mates who fall hard.

I wanted to like this. And give the author benefit of doubt about this being AI. But this book confirmed it. There were multiple inconsistencies. One sentence the facet was off and literally two sentences later it was on still. This happened twice within 4-5 paragraphs. And then one MMC had flour on his face to several paragraphs late the mention of flour being on the other MMC’s face instead. And just the way some of the sentences were structured. It might not be AI written but instead AI revised? I don’t know, I could be wrong.

2.5 ⭐️ This was not great. It started great… and then once they were together it kind of fell apart. The details in the story, for me, stopped making sense.
Callum ❤️ Milo
Callum and Milo have known each other for a few years. Callum is the brother of Milo’s best friend, Ava. They’ve each been pining for the other but never said anything. Milo, tired of pining over Callum, posts a profile on a dating app and Callum recognizes him and swipes right. So they’re texting - Callum knows it’s Milo but Milo doesn’t know it’s Callum.
While this is going on, they realize they are fated mates one night in Ava’s apartment. Callum confesses to the dating app whatnot and even though they’re crazy about each other (and mated), they hide their relationship from their friends, for reasons I don’t understand, for 2 weeks. 🤷🏻♀️
Milo is an affable and people pleasing person, but this is seen as a weakness and so the second half of the story is him supposedly feeling empowered and refusing to apologize and/or being dominant in bed. It just felt sort of thrown together without enough of Milo’s history to understand it. Also, there’s absolutely nothing wrong w saying you’re sorry when you’re wrong. It’s not a weakness. Some of the examples worked, but other times he was - in fact - wrong. 🙄. Like, I get the point, author, but do it better.
❤️No third act breakup
🗣️No misunderstanding driving the plot
👬🏽Gentle and kind alpha who irons his t shirts and worries that everyone is eating enough vs sweet stress baking omega who is too quick to apologize
🧑🚒big buff firefighter vs librarian/student
🙃best friend’s brother
➡️Secret pining (both) to texting over an app to bonded mates who genuinely would choose each other
🌶️Spice - this is open door; knotting, mating bite, etc. it honestly got boring and I skimmed it.
🫣No OM. No mentions of prior anything for either
👥Dual POV; HEA. Mating bond. The whole story place over six weeks
Okay, my other big pet peeve w this story was that there was very little about the mating bond. If I’m reading an omegaverse story, I want alllll the yummy bonding stuff. I was robbed. Yes, we saw the nesting, but I love to have them describe the feelings and all the new intuition of being bonded… and there was none of that.☹️ Like they could have been any two guys who fell in love. Boo hiss.
And my other, other pet peeve is that there were little details that were inconsistent. The author would describe how they were situated and I couldn’t picture it or the picture didn’t make sense . For example - “I was leaning w my back against his chest and he kissed my throat”. Huh? Your throat is in the front - you mean he kissed the back of your neck? Anyhoo, this isn’t a real example, but you get the drift. It took me out of the story bc I was trying to picture their contortionist arms and legs. 🦵
Oh well. I was disappointed.

Ended before I could DNF. Nothing really happens in this book. They get together and the book ends. Could be good erotica if that’s what you’re looking for but the characters aren’t developed or particularly interesting. Doesn’t really explore the omegaverse plot in any real way.
The anonymous dating plot line is so unnecessary and honestly a waste of time. Nothing that happens matters or impact anything.
