Knot Just Passing Through: A Cozy Omegaverse Romance

by Sienna Sterling

Her four-year-old has already chosen their new pack. Wren is still catching up.

Wren Mercer is not looking for another pack.

Not after being rejected by the last one while pregnant. Not after spending four years raising her daughter alone. And definitely not after moving to a cozy mountain lodge town for a fresh start that is supposed to stay temporary.

Then she meets the Graham brothers.

Henry is calm, dependable, and impossible to rattle. Patrick flirts through baked goods and somehow makes her laugh when she least wants to. And Elliot—the grumpy mountain-man alpha who barely speaks to adults—lets her four-year-old daughter braid his hair while quietly fixing everything Wren pretends isn't broken.

Alder Creek Lodge was supposed to be a job. Instead, it starts feeling dangerously like home.

Between rainy mornings, packed breakfast rushes, accidental nesting incidents, and a tiny daughter who has already decided the Grahams belong to them, Wren is running out of ways to deny the She doesn't just want safety anymore. She wants them.

But wanting something and letting yourself have it are very different things — especially when running is the only survival skill she's ever trusted.

Knot Just Passing Through is a cozy omegaverse romance featuring spicy scenes, a rejected omega single mom, three devoted alpha brothers, grumpy/sunshine vibes, found family, nesting, scent comfort, rained-in cuddles, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

I DNF’d this book after reading 54%. I really wanted to like this book, but I couldn’t get over the stilted, nearly nonexistent dialogue. Up to this point, the book had been mostly inner dialogue. In addition, the world building that you read in many omegaverse novels is not present in this book. There were mentions of alphas and omegas, but little more than that. I had just gotten to the point where nesting was mentioned. Finally, there were some timeline inconsistencies.

This should have been a DNF but I was hoping it would get better. It didn’t. The writing is very stilted and the dialogue doesn’t feel like actual conversations. The characters aren’t really developed well. You would hardly know the FMC is an omega or around alphas. Some of the structure of the book jump around a bit it seems( she suddenly has a bite mark 2 chapters before she’s even touched them). I wanted to like it. I really did 🙃

This was an ok read, a light easy going not have to pay to much attention to, but it was confusing at times, she arrived at spring, we went into summer then all of a sudden it was still spring, and the heat, Henry admiring the mark he left a few weeks ago? When the heat was the first time and he didnt mark her during it. I don't think i will be reading this author again.

Good base

The base story had a good foundation, but everything about this story was...stilted, very robotic. While I understand that, maybe this is the way 1 or even 2 characters just were, for all characters to be very...rigid, structured, it felt very manufactured and felt like AI

Emotional read

I didn't come into this book expecting to shed tears. Heart-warming conversations and the adult way feelings are discussed. No abuse, but the failure of her disowned pack shows her growth as a person and how she handles it now. I shed a few tears at the sweetness. 10/10 recommend

FULL

It is full, thoughtful and just the right pace. I like when all the characters actually have different personalities not just the surface items. It makes you think about emotions in different ways. Then work with them. There's also sass, comedy, sadness and love. So it a good read.

Skip if you value your sanity

I actually did make it through barely, but it was difficult. While the story could have been good they way it was written was terrible like most of the other reviews said it was very robotic and I agree it feels very AI.

DNF at 18%
I really wanted to like this one. The description makes it sound so good, but unfortunately it’s so slow and there is too much inner dialogue. I just couldn’t get into it.

This could have been really good. Needs a heavy edit for consistency and redundancy.

[Mary Tartalone · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was just ok. The story was cute but has a lot of editing errors. It was also really long with not much character development other than the main character throughout.

sweet. cozy

A gentle slow burn read where the fmc learns to feel and be important and cared for before being loved. A beautiful family building storyline.

This could have been a fantastic read. It was a little rough and could use some major editing to fix errors and timeline inconsistencies.

Poppy was my favorite character as well as Mr. pickles

Cute!

This has all the emotions! It’s sweet, patient, and heart warming with a splash of spice! Definitely a slow and sweet read!
