Everything changes in the blink of an eye as three women collide with rock stars with wounds of their own.
Knot Guaranteed
Tinley Rhodes is an anomaly. Despite her anatomy and pheromones, she still hasn’t had a heat, meaning the law says she’s technically not an omega.
She’s stuck between designations, but even omegas have to financially provide for themselves. When a friend’s older brother offers to help her get a job using her skills as a photographer, she knows she can’t say no.
Everything changes in the blink of an eye as she collides with rock stars with wounds of their own.
Knot Wanted
Shanna Fitzpatrick grew up with rock stars. She's seen enough to know she doesn't want to date one—let alone three—from two rival bands, no less.
The bossy, much older security specialist who comes with one of those rock stars might be a different story, but she's still hurting a little too badly from past mistakes to find out.
Knot Interested - Omnibus Exclusive Bonus Novella
Chloe is focused on her job as a fashion designer in training at Cuffs and Buttons. She has no interest in getting tangled up with a rock star or his handsome, older bodyguard.
Only, a surprise heat derails her plans...

Knot Guaranteed and Knot Wanted are omegaverse favorites, but I read this for the bonus novella. I loved it!

Ruined Records Chicago Omni
Knot Guaranteed is exactly what you would expect from Jillian West. We have a RH omegaverse romance that takes place in the Ruined Records universe that will leave you wanting more for this universe. Tinsley is a photogrphaer and has always had her eyes set on her best friends brother. When he is slotted in as a fill in for a very popular band he decides he wants her to come with him…the label needs a photographer after all to document the mini tour. Now the other to MMCs in this book you will recognize from No Omega Needed. I will leva the rest up to you to find out. Overall I really enjoyed Knot Guaranteed. This did touch on a subject that was touchy to our FMC hasn’t come into her first heat and feels like she is stuck between her designation as an omega and what society says she has to achieve to be designated as an omega. It was a fast read that made me smile as the men, as always, were devoted to their omega. I am really interesting to see what Jillian does next in the Ruined Records world!
Knot Watned
Jillian West books or something I go into knowing that I’m going to love it. Knot wanted exactly what I needed when I needed it. I love that her men always know exactly what they want and go after it I love that all the guys knew each other. It was basically a build your own pack book.
This book is centered around Shanna and the other guys you meet from the previous book. Shanna is Tinsleys best friend and Fitz’s sister. And takes place close to the end of the previous book. There is some overlapping. We have members of two different bands, joining for this pack, and one of their security team members. I will say that this book touches what could be sensitive topics such as substance abuse, and recovery, but I really feel that that made the character grow, and even more love able from the previous book.
I will say Jillian did her job and there were certain parts that really frustrated me and maybe me feel frustrated for Shanna though she handled them very well. This book is definitely gonna be a reread for me like all Jillian West books and I really hope she continues on with this world. But if she doesn’t, I know her next will be just as spectacular.
Knot Interested (a new novella!)
A surprise heat and late presenting designation this is a short but sweet MFM pairing that wraps up Kage, Jones, and Chloe’s story. I loved it. Though short I was fully happy with their quick story and it was a perfect little ending to this omnibus!!

Knot Guaranteed: I absolutely ADORED this book. I always know that when I read a Jillian West book my heart is going to be so happy and so full.
This book was utterly adorable and spicy. I don't have a ton to say because it was just absolutely wonderful perfection. If you like omegaverse, rockstars, best friends brother, and low angst, then this is for you!
Knot Wanted: I absolutely loved Shanna and the guys! One thing I love about Jillian's books is I know the guys are going to be all in, I'm not going to have a third act breakup and it's going to be deliciously spicy.
Saxon, aka Daddy, is my personal favourite and I love how determined he is to make Shanna feel wanted and to know what she deserves.
Knot Interested: This was a delightfully spicy little novelette and I really enjoyed it!
If you're aldready a fan of Jillian, if you're not familiar now's the time!
I received an ARC copy of the book but I'm leaving this review voluntarily.

Loved Seeing Jones' HEA!
This is one of my favorite series from Jillian West. Reliving the Chicago packs was so much fun and it made me crave Jones' HEA even more!
Chloe and Kage were such interesting characters and I totally called here being a late bloomer!
Seeing how Kage and Jones interact together was just as fun as I thought it would be!
This Omnibus isn't as dark as the first one of the series but it's still just as good and un-put-downable! If you enjoyed the first Ruined Records duet then you'll love these.

One of the things I absolutely adore about Jillian West's omegaverse is how low stress it is. It gives you all the fluffy comfort, wicked heart, and so much heart that I fall in love with every main character she writes. Her universe is one I simply don't ever want to leave!
𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝑮𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒅
I was instantly besotted by Tinley, and my love for her just grew as the story progressed. She's not the most confident omega, resigned to believing she can't offer much no matter how much she desires a pack. Tinley just broke my heart, and, at one point, I was crying for her, but getting to see her sass and cheeky humour shine out with the more time the alphas put into fussing over her, enticing her, and affirming their stability in her life was such a joy. She flourished, and the epilogues had me tearing up with happiness!
Fitz is the epitome of yearning, because boy, has he yearned for his Tinsel. I actually cackled at how obvious it was to everyone but him that all he had to do was make his intentions clear, then he wouldn't have to keep waiting; he slotted himself into the friends-to-lovers trope! I couldn't help but grin at how easily he had been playing the part of a protective and attentive Alpha before bonding was more of a possibility than a dream. I loved how soft Tinsley could be in his presence; he made her feel safe, and I melted for him.
War may be the fierce, gruff, protective, and all-things-tender daddy Dom, but it was clear that he was tired of his job. He's more scarred than what meets the eye, most definitely rattled, and over it all, but Tinsley shook everything up. She made him smile and be playful and gave him a keener focus on the direction his life could take rather than circling a twisted dark loop of what had been plaguing him. War made me giggle like mad at the things that came out of his mouth, but I adored how much Tinsley's confidence grew in his presence. He brought so much out of her, just as she did him.
Ram had me at shortcake! He's fun, cheeky, and just so full of light that his presence was very much needed with two growling alphas around. He made Tinley bolder, happier, calmer, and free enough to unburden herself when things felt heavy. But he's not just in it for how much he's drawn to her but also for how much she makes his brother come alive. War wasn't the only one rattled, but looking at Tinley, Ram started to reevaluate what he wanted, and she was very much looking like a sweet future.
Jillian West never fails at bringing the heat, and the spice was SPICING in Knot Guaranteed! I'm struggling to choose a favourite scene because everything was delicious, but the MFMM was *screeches* everything—it's living rent free! West always creates a pack that matches every facet of the FMC—even some parts of her that haven't been brought to the surface yet—and it's one of the reasons I utterly adore her omegaverse. And the epilogue time jumps were just perfect!
𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝑾𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅
Shanna has a confidence in abundance, but the more hits it takes the more you start to lose sight of who your are, then the box you get placed in starts rubbing you the wrong way, and that's what we see happen pretty quickly for Shanna. She lost a bit of her spark, but each member of her pack plays a role in bringing it back, protecting it, and reminding her of how the people who tried to make her feel small were never worthy of her time in the first place, and I loved to see it! She's fierce, and sassy, and I adore her.
Carter has not only grown since we first saw him, but you realise what you thought you knew about him was barely touching the surface of who he is. He has such depth that when you slip through the ego, you find a protector and caregiver; obviously, the cock-sure confidence still reigns supreme, but that just adds to the charm. He knows every button to push with Shanna, and I liked seeing him ruffle her feathers because she's certainly not afraid to bite back, which makes it all far too amusing. I couldn't help but grin every time he called her 'Little Fitz'. Him taking sobriety so seriously was the winner for me.
Lang grew on me. He fell very hard and fast for Shanna—considering he didn't know her name— but I loved that he wasn't ashamed to start screaming it from the rooftops. But, as it turns out, if Jillian West is writing a little bit of romantic stalking, then I'm eating it up. I really enjoyed the growth from the obvious rock star persona to being a one-girl kind of guy, and his bickering with both Saxon and Carter was so entertaining. When the time came for it, Carter and Lang put the past behind them, but it was Lang's ability to start with honesty and settle the past with Carter for not only Shanna's sake but for themselves that really jumped him up the ranks for me.
Two words: Daddy Saxon—I am in love with him!! He was my most highlighted character from this book. He and Shanna made me giggle so much; I love how easy it seemed between them, that they slipped into the role of Dom/sub without a second-guessing moment. He settled her and took the control she needed by thinking steps ahead as well as taking her cues so quickly; he also helpfully reminded her why standards are important—got to love a man who pays attention! I also just loved how in spite of his evident issues with the prior disrespectful nature of some of her prospective pack mates, he was all in and let her know.
Jack is a little sweetie; he's so adorable and had me awing more than once. He and Shanna have a similar relationship history of not being the one that's wanted in the end, but I loved that a lot of the time he let her take control, not trying to dim her light in any way. He's sweet, attentive, saucy, and not at all concerned about his place in her life. He's just the whole package, really, and perfectly made for Shanna!
The spice just keeps getting better, and every scene was scorching; I was kicking my legs in glee! It's hard to choose, but my favourite might have been in chapter 33 because I made an odd little squeaking noise in public while reading it. Jillian West is out here embarrassing me, but I'm still greedy...can a girl get a promised chase scene, please?!
𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅
I was so excited to see what would came next, for Chloe, Jones, and Kage following the events that took place at Shanna's show, and I wasn't let down!
Chloe is smart, quick-witted, and so easy to adore. She made me cackle in chapter one because she's not afraid to put someone in their place. However, her biology really gave her the suprise shake-up and I loved that Kage was trying to break the obvious very carefully to her because she was clearly in denial.
Jones cracked me up more than once, but his lack of attempt to hide how Kage riles him up got me the most; he's grumpy, caring, sarcastic, grounded, a tiny bit self-conscious, and has this easy way of making Chloe feel safe. I loved that while his dislike of rock stars is strong, he had to reevaluate his views on Kage and see him as a whole and not just his rock star persona. I also adored how his first questions to Chloe, when he found her, were to check in on how she was feeling considering life just flipped on its axis for her.
Kage is practically the polar opposite of Jones; he's full of energy, playful, and the easiest flirt to see, but he's getting tired of how he's treated now that he's famous. So Chloe not letting him get away with anything—or Jones—helps to bring him back down in a way that's good for him. I couldn't stop grinning at how hard he tried to remain a gentleman for Chloe, and I was on tenderhooks as I waited for him to snap. It enjoyed that almost as much as I when he called her 'Pixie'.
For something so short, Jillian West packed so much heat, heart, and humour into Knot Interested that I was overjoyed with it. Truly the perfect ending to the omnibus. Usually, I'm a 'the more the merrier' kind of person when it comes to picking my favourite spicy scene, but I think I'm going with the MF shower one today, likely to change it tomorrow though because all of it was perfect!
If you love a rockstar romance but have been wanting to dip your toe into the pool of why choose omegaverse, then I highly recommend this omnibus! It's full of he falls-first-and-harder MMC's, utterly entrancing FMC's, forced proximity, rock stars and their private security, deliciously heated scenes, grin-worthy humour, epilogues that will have you awing, and so much heart that I actually cried at one point.
A huge thank you to Jillian West, for letting me ARC read Ruined Record Chicago Omnibus and for giving me more beautifully enthralling characters. I even loved the dedications!

Review of advance copy
Knot Guaranteed - Tinley is an omega who hasn’t designated yet. She also has neurodivergent quirks and is slightly awkward. Her best friends brother has been her secret crush for years but she has done her best to ignore it so she doesn’t lose her friend.
When he asks her for help she never thought her life would take such a drastic turn.
I love Finn, Warrick, and Ramsey. They are the perfect group to help Tinley and show her she is perfect just the way she is and that her quirks are what draws them to her. They also show up for her and encourage her to embrace her omega tendencies even though she hasn’t fully designated yet. They still want her even if she never does.
I have read this book several times and it is perfect and keeps getting better each time!
Knot Wanted
Shanna has a tough lot to navigate. Having a famous family makes it hard to see if someone wants to be her friend for her or for the connections she can bring them.
The beginning of the book takes you through her navigating this in a painful way and then taking the steps of being done making choices.
That’s when fate steps in.
Carter, Saxton, Jake, and Lang. These men each show up for Shanna when she needs them. I knew something was up with Shanna and Carter at the end of book one when Carter was “picking” on her. He was acting like a school boy pulling a girls hair.
Jake I didn’t see coming. But once Ava was out of his life and scented Shanna and Jillian’s secret scent came into play I knew what was happening. Fate is working for Shanna and showing her that she needs to trust her omega to bring her the pack she needs and they will take care of her.
This book wasn’t a high tension read but it was an emotional one. It shows you what happens when emotional manipulation is used and what can happen to a person and what harm it can cause and how that person looses the ability to trust in themselves and their own judgment.
The ending was beautiful and I loved how Tinley and her guys were given a shoutout in there.
Bonus story: Knot Interested
Chloe was introduced in Shanna’s story and given a very brief spotlight. I was not expecting this bonus novella, but it was a very sweet quick read that gave us a happy ending for Saxton’s partner he sometimes switched guard duty with and Lang’s bandmates HEA.
Chloe is a beta who has a surprise designation switch and Jones and Kage have both been trying to catch her eye and see if they had a chance with her. When they can’t find her Kage goes to find her and discovers what happened and calls Jones to help them. They have a very quick mini heat and bond. Jones and Chloe don’t bond until later. He doesn’t want to rush her and she doesn’t want to wait.
This omnibus is perfect if you don’t want to pick up each book and just want to keep reading with no interruptions.
Ruined Records is a great series to get into and there is never a dull moment with these rock stars and their crews and families!
Thank you Jillian for letting me read an early copy of this book. It was amazing like always!

Chloe was introduced in Shanna’s story and given a very brief spotlight. I was not expecting this bonus novella, but it was a very sweet quick read that gave us a happy ending for Saxton’s partner he sometimes switched guard duty with and Lang’s bandmates HEA.
Chloe is a beta who has a surprise designation switch and Jones and Kage have both been trying to catch her eye and see if they had a chance with her. When they can’t find her Kage goes to find her and discovers what happened and calls Jones to help them. They have a very quick mini heat and bond. Jones and Chloe don’t bond until later. He doesn’t want to rush her and she doesn’t want to wait.
This omnibus is perfect if you don’t want to pick up each book and just want to keep reading with no interruptions.
Ruined Records is a great series to get into and there is never a dull moment with these rock stars and their crews and families!
Thank you Jillian for letting me read an early copy of this book. It was amazing like always!

‼️SPOILERS‼️
I’ve been wanting to read Knto Happening and Knot Wanted for a hot minute and since I had the audiobooks, I dived into them. I will say that Amber and Gideon did so well. They sucked me right into the stories but just how they narrated together.
Knot Happening -
Tinsel, Warrick Ramsey and Fitz were such a fun time. When Fitz gets Tinsel a job as a photographer with the band he is now part of, I just knew this forced proximity was going to be everything.
You have Fitz and Tinsel that have been in love with each other but are just so stubborn. His sister and her are best friends.
The twins, Warrick and Ramsey are so different. Ramsey is so goofy and just fun. He definitely was the highlight when it was his chapter or when he was talking. And Warwick - I love me a good dom, who gives Daddy vibes and cares about her wellbeing.
I love how we get to see Tinsel’s emotions because she feels like she’s not a true omega because she hasn’t had a real omega. These guys make her see that she’s worth it.
I also love how they came together so natural because at point, Fitz did not want to share. If he wanted her, he just had to give in.
Knot Wanted -
When I saw that Carter was getting a book, I was so giddy with excitement. I’m a huge fan of a redemption arcs and man, this one definitely did not disappoint.
There is a bit of drama in this book. Let’s just say that Shanna’s exes are complete jerks for what they did.
I love how these guys will do just about anything to protect their omega.
Saxon also gives Daddy vibes and the way that him and Lang were - there were definitely a lot of hilarious moments with them. When Saxon had her phone number, he could have given it to him but Lang was being a brat.
I laughed the moment that he called her his girlfriend. Like sir, you’re crazy.
I was so happy the feud between Carter and Lang did get rectify. Also, I loved when Shanna called Jack’s ex a different name even when she knew Ava’s name.
Carter being celibate for as long as he did was beautiful because he wanted his omega from the moment he met her and wanted to show her what kind of guy he was.
All in all, this was a really good story that sucked me in from beginning to end.
Knot Interested -
I was so happy when we got Chloe’s story and it was so sweet. I love a late presentation of an omega. It makes the story more fun and all.
Kage and Jones are definitely something else for sure. Jones’ thoughts about women not wanting a good guy had me giggling because this man was so gone for her.
Jones had me laughing when Carter walked in on them. Literally was having a full blown conversation with them haha.
That conversation that Kage had bringing alphas to help with her heat was really sweet but I loved how she just wants it to be just the three of them.
What I really loved is how the bonds with each one was. I’m so glad that these two guys got the girl they’ve been interested in since we met them in Shanna’s book.
I received a copy of this book and this is my honest review.

July 7, 2026
I mean, I already did read each book (except the novella) on their own. But it never hurts to read a book by Jillian West again. And I loved this cover! >.< Had to have it. The Ruined Records is my favorite universe and was my start into Jillian West's bookworld.
So, what you get here:
Knot Guaranteed: This book follows our FMC Tinley and the guys, Warrick, Ramsey and Fitz. As I said, read it before. But it felt so good coming back to this a second time. Tinley is the kind of person I can relate a lot. She is awkward with people, but likes to observe them through her camera. She doesn't like crowds (can relate a lot to that!) and is a bit clumsy. But she is such a sweet person! I loved her back then and I still love her now.
Not to forget the guys. Fitz was already friends with her before, and I'm always good with a friends-to-lover arc. I love how he supports her and what's her to see how amazing she is. Warrick is the protective "daddy" type her. And Ramsey, Warrick's twin... yeah, he is the golden retriever guy that has you laughing a lot. In general, their dynamic was so natural (I mean Jillian always writes relatable and realistic stories) and of course, I love the crazy and all too.
So, definitely recommend to read this.
Knot Wanted: Here begins Shanna's story, who is Tinley's best friend. She didn't have it easy. I was so happy she got her happy ending too. As Tinley's best friend, she already left a great impression. She is a loyal and supportive friend. And reading her story, goes only deeper. So, she is a vocal and independent person in general.
Again, I love the guys Jillian writes. Here, it was a bit tricky a bit. I mean, Carter didn't leave the best impression at first. But during this book, you see he changed with his sobriety and he really is a decent guy. It just took time to show it. Then we have Saxon, the security guy with big grumy Daddy energy and he knows his stuff around omegas. That's for sure. Jack is perfect boyfriend material. Lang was the funny one of the bunch, who doesn't have clue at all, but I loved how he does everything with convinction , and that makes him damn adorable. xD
One of my favorite parts of every book is how they come together as a pack. The interactions are always great!
Knot Interested: So, the novella, and the only new part for me. ^^ Haven't read it before obviously, as it is exclusive here. It's MMF story, cute and short. Still a lot of fun to read. <3 And we met Chloe before.

3 in 1 rock star romances
First we get Tinley's story. Shes an autistic photographer who's in love with her best friends older brother. After a breakup he invites her on tour with him as band photographer.
I really enjoyed Fitz being jealous. Sometimes being close to someone all the time can cause blinders. The two band mates surprised me at first, and the three of them learning how to be their for her thru was fun to read. Its nice to see Fertility issues and nerodivergenc being repped. Shanna's acceptance of the relationships was nice to see instead of the usual jealousy
4.9 stars
Speaking of Shanna, next is her story. Shanna is a clothing designer omeha, who was dating three clothing designer alphas until she found out they were using her. She ends up after Thanksgiving hooking up with Langdon band member, a couple times, and thru him meeting Saxon, security guard, meanwhile Carter and Jackson both band members have permission from her brother to stay at the pent house with her.
Watching her unintentionally form a pack, and help rebuild a friendship that got destroyed years ago, is highly entertaining. Seeing her ex's get what they deserve is also worth it. In this story were also introduced to her designer assistant chloe...
4.9 stars
Next we get chloes story. Assistant clothing designer to shanna, shes designing tshirts and such for the record company. She's a beta....so she thinks. After watching band member Kage punch a security guard to protect her during a fight that breaks out in the previous book, she starts presenting as an omega.
This is a shorter story, less chaotic as the other two, although I wish there was a little more to it . Kage being a Rockstar with little experience is a bit of a surprise, and I wish we could have gotten more on him and Jones his security guard and the other Alpha learning to get along.
3.5 stars for chloes story.
All three stories happen around the same time frame or not that far apart time frame wise, I would love to see another story where all three packs are around one another, I feel that would be highly entertaining

Review of advance copy received from Author
I love having the Chicago Ruined Records in one omnibus! Knot Guaranteed and Knot Wanted are fantastic reads and the brand new novella, Knot Interested, is such a fun little dive into Chloe's life and I loved every bit of it!
🩵Knot Guaranteed:
There aren't enough good things to say about this book! I loved everything about it. Tinley is quirky and awkward but in a way that's so relatable, even for someone not on the spectrum. War is one of my favorite characters and I'm so glad we got to come back and join for his happy ending, he truly deserved it! Ram was a gift that kept giving and Fitz is truly such a sweetheart, it was such a treat to see him finally get his girl!
I truly loved the journey of the guys helping Tinley see that she's more than her designation and that they loved her regardless.
🩵Knot Wanted:
Oh man, I so loved Shanna and her guys! Shanna was feisty and not at all afraid to demand what she wanted. Jack, with all his sweet steady comfort and loyalty was my favorite alpha. Saxon had such huge grumpy daddy energy and I loved how he cared for Shanna. Lang was a playful alpha and their immediate connection was off the charts. Carter's redemption has been my favorite background story and I'm so glad we got to follow his journey, he truly became such a stand up alpha and I loved his protectiveness and the way he had Shanna's back long before they even got together!
There was some light drama that was easily remedied and I was glad to see the outcome with her previous pack. This was overall just such a lovely, cozy, comfort read!
🩵Knot Interested:
Chloe was sweet and feisty, Kage was flirty and fun and Jones was protective and very much the daddy of the group, but he was my favorite! I love the dynamic between them all. This was very much a fast paced novellette, and the perfect ending to the Chicago group!

Everything I Wanted in One Amazing Collection
I absolutely loved having the entire Ruined Records: Chicago series in one omnibus! Jillian West has a way of creating characters that feel genuine, relationships that develop naturally, and packs that are impossible not to root for. Every story brought something unique while still fitting seamlessly into the shared world.
Knot Guaranteed completely won me over. Tinley is quirky, awkward, and incredibly relatable. Watching Warrick, Ramsey, and Fitz help her realize she's so much more than her designation was heartwarming. Fitz and Tinley's friends-to-lovers tension was so satisfying, Ramsey had me laughing throughout the book, and Warrick's protective, "Daddy" energy balanced the group perfectly. Their relationship developed so naturally, making the emotional payoff even sweeter.
Knot Wanted was another favorite! Shanna is confident, feisty, and knows exactly what she wants. Jack's unwavering loyalty made him impossible not to love, while Saxon's grumpy-but-caring personality and Lang's protectiveness made this pack unforgettable. The light drama never felt overwhelming, making this such a cozy, comforting read with plenty of heart.
The bonus novella, Knot Interested, was the perfect ending to the Chicago stories. Chloe, Kage, and Jones had fantastic chemistry, and even though it was a quick read, it gave a fun glimpse into their lives while wrapping up the series beautifully.
The rock band setting, found family, emotional healing, and unforgettable characters made this an easy five-star read. If you enjoy omegaverse romance with lovable characters, heartfelt relationships, plenty of spice, and satisfying happily-ever-afters, this omnibus is absolutely worth reading.

Knot Guaranteed
You guys, this book had me smiling and left me in a fantastic mood. I'm telling you the banter between Tinley and her alphas was so fun to read. I loved how possessive and protective Warrick was. Ramsey was hilarious and great at keeping things light. Fitz, I loved Fitz. He's taken such great care of Tinley and always looked out for her.
Knot Wanted
Sweet and low angst. Shanna always seems to date the wrong alphas. Now she's entering her heat and she's done trying to be safe and reasonable. Enter in Saxon a grumpy alpha bodyguard, Langdon an alpha rockstar bad boy, Carter and Jack both alphas and bandmates of Shanna's brother Fitz.
There is some tension among some of the guys, and Saxon has got to be the responsible Daddy one. Jack is the sweet alpha looking to settle down if only he would stop picking the wrong ones. Carter is on his road of recovery and sobriety. Finally, we've got Langdon, who definitely looks like the typical rockstar, but he definitely falls first for his omega.
Knot Interested
This was a nice bonus story for Chloe, Kage, and Jones. Chloe is a beta who's working alongside Shanna to create a unique look for each band member. She catches the attention of 2 alphas 1 a rockstar and the other a bodyguard. Really loved Kage and Jones.
No lie I forgot about Shanna's story. I remembered Tinley whose name is forever switched as Tinsley in my head but Shanna I forgot 🫣. When this book was announced I figured it was time for a reread to get reacquainted with these characters again. I'm actually kind of glad I forgot Shanna's story because then I would've spent my time wondering when Chloe would get a story. With this I wasn't left wondering what happened to Chloe, Kage, and Jones after.

Knot Guaranteed: Another hit in Jillian West’s omegaverse! Tinley is an omega by all technicalities, though hasn’t yet gone through her heat cycle. Her alphas are Fitz, her best friends older brother who has an accent, Warrick, who is a scarred, ‘daddy’-eque alpha, and Ramsey is his major golden retriever twin.
We get a wonderful mix of friends to lovers, rockstar romance, ‘dom’ alphas, and autism/adhd rep in this cozy romance. It’s definitely fitting for the holiday season, and good for a low key, low drama, sweet and spicy romance. Jillian West as always really makes you feel her characters emotion, I especially could really feel Tinley’s anxiety, and really related to her neurodivergence as well. It’s comforting to see myself in characters, and she fit perfectly.
The MMC’s were over the top protective in the best way, and exactly what youd expect from this authors books. Accents, daddy kink, and protective alphas? Yes please! I’m so excited for what comes next in this universe.
As always, please check trigger warnings, your mental health matters.
Knot Wanted: I’ll admit, going into this book I was a bit skeptical on if I’d turn out to like
Carter, considering how he acted in the last book, but you can really tell his character has grown a lot through sobriety, and I really enjoyed his and Shanna’s relationship. If Jillian West is gonna do anything, it’s write a damn good grumpy daddy into the book. Saxon’s really had that “I’m in charge” energy but was an omega expert through and through. Plus, you can’t forget the rival rock star who thinks he’s nailing the courting thing, and the sweet rockstar who helps Carter on his sobriety journey. All the mmcs were so interesting and well fleshed out, you can really tell who is who through his actions. And Shanna, poor Shanna has been THROUGH it, but she finally gets the pack she deserves
Overall, super fun and fluffy, but had the spice you know you’ll get with the authors books. Recommend especially if you want a low angst fun and spicy time
Exclusive Novella: One surprise heat and an uexpected omega presentation takes Chloe by surprise. Luckily she has a handsome rockstar and security man to help her through it. This is an mfm, short spicy and cute novella! A fun end to the omnibus.

I read this literally so I could refresh the story in my mind and read the novella.
Book One: Is still my favorite or not only this series but of both ruined records series. Love the characters. Originally i was not going to read this edition or the new novella but these characters demanded a reread so i listened. 4.5 stars, would round up to 5 stars.
Book Two: after finishing my book one reread, i wasn't going to reread this as I was feeling like it would trigger a slump. (It has been the year of slumps.) I could literally only remember her and Carter because I just reread book one and they weren't enough to convince my brain it would be a good read. After taking a detour and then reading some reviews to refresh my mind on the story and rest of characters, I decided to pick this up. It was good. 4 stars. But it was also just fine. I probably wouldn't have reread this book if it wasn't for the novella triggering the desire to reread book one.
The novella: I hated it and was left feeling disappointed. I generally don't like novellas because they are generally too short for me grow to like the characters and for a decent plot to happen. The plot is literally she is a surprise omega going into heat and spicy times. I reread the first two books in part because I wanted to make sure I did not miss any flirting or relationship development that was in the other books. And I will be honest, there was none. Yes, both guys revealed their interest in her but it felt more physical. So the whole novella just felt like satisfying physical needs and the oops and then happy ever after? Sorry, but i am not buying the relationships.

Ruined Records OV with High Spice and Sweetness
Jillian West delivered yet again with her re-release and additions to the Ruined Records Chicago Omegaverse. If you liked it the first time around, you will love it even more now, plus with all the extra content! This Omnibus include “Knot Guaranteed”, “Knot Wanted”, and a new novella, “Knot Interested”.
“Knot Guaranteed” is a low-angst, high-spice, all the Alphas are growly protective and absolutely obsessed with our Omega. Jillian West writes the best FMC’s, no debate. And Tinsley is so sweet and relatable, she is a spicy neurodivergent almost-omega ( I will let you find out more). Because it is in the Ruined Records universe, we have our sexy and obsessive rockstar Alphas that are in the same circle as some of our other favorite Ruined Records characters.
“Knot Wanted” picks up with Shanna’s love story as she struggles after being tossed aside by a pack of dull Alphas. This is another super steamy rockstar romance, with some Daddy age gap and Brothers best friend vibes. While we only get briefly introduced to Shanna in the first book, her character has so much depth that makes you root for her and her Omega love story.
As for the novella, “Knot Interested”, I will let you read that one for yourself, but it is about a character we meet (briefly) in “Knot Wanted”.
Honestly, after devouring this Omnibus, I am hot and bothered for a heavily-tattooed rockstar alpha with eyes only for me….now back to reality.

In my opinion re-releases are either really well done or a swing and a miss. This manages to hit it out of the park. It contains two books, Knot Wanted and Knot Guaranteed, along with a new novella, Knot Interested.
In Knot Guaranteed, we have a sweet and fluffy romance with a low drama level. The spice is definitely there however. Tinsley is our FMC who hasn’t quite presented the way that other omegas have historically. I love that her guys stand with her even when she isn’t sure of her own standing with them.
In Knot Wanted, we get to see Shanna who is Tinsley’s best friend from the previous book. We didn’t previously get much story time with her and I love that this story helps us see just how amazing she is. After dealing with guys that just don’t cut it, she gets to build the pack that she deserves. If you love an age gap, bodyguard romance, or brother’s best friend this one has it all.
Knot Interested is the new novella that lets us see more of Chloe, Jones, and Kate from Knot Wanted. I loved that even though it was shorter it had so much packed into it. Having guys that aren’t the best of friends or even or good terms initially can be challenging for a FMC, but Chloe handles it beautifully. I’m so grateful for the little extras that went into this omnibus.
Jillian always manages to write the most amazing characters. They are so developed and have such layered and complex personalities. I know going into these books that there won’t be a main character that has something to love about them.

“My instincts are screaming at me to bite her so she can never get away…Aww, f*ck. The caveman loop is out in full force.”
✔️contemporary omegaverse why choose romance
✔️rockstar romance
✔️lower angst
✔️omega builds her pack
✔️bonding, knots, and heats
✔️no 3rd act breakup, OW drama, cheating, or choosing
This review is going to focus on the omnibus exclusive novella (Knot Interested). I have read and reviewed the two novels in this omnibus individually, and will be linking them below.
Knot Guaranteed (MFMM): 5⭐️ REVIEW
Knot Wanted (MFMMM): 5⭐️ REVIEW
Knot Interested (MFM) is Chloe, Kage, and Jones’ story, and it’s an omega awakening spicy good time. I recently reread Knot Wanted in preparation for this novella and I am glad I did because all three of the main characters were side characters in that book. It was fun to see what was going on from their perspective, as it takes place at the same time. Kage and Jones are complete opposites, but of course they set their differences aside and learn to work together for their omega and their pack. This is a quick read and just a fun little bow on the end of the series.

Knot guaranteed-I normally try to steer clear of any sort of rockstar romance because they aren’t my jam mainly because of OW/OM drama. This book was fantastic. It was cool seeing an FMC deal with some of the neurospicy things I deal with on a regular basis. AND MY GOODNESS THE GUYS 😍 Of course I’m in love with these OTT possessive alphas, Ram was the perfect balance for the other two. The epilogues were great, Loved loved loved the HEA. Happy tears are so sweet. 🥹
Knot wanted-Oh my goodness what a fantastic book 2! New pack and I loved that they weren’t established like most OV pack stories have. The tension and competitiveness from the guys was freaking fabulous. I loved Shanna in book 1 and I’m so happy we got her story! If the first book was described as “fluffy” the second book was definitely more spicy and I LOVED IT! I don’t like to pick favorites but Grumpy Daddy is probably my favorite 🤩
Can’t wait to see what couple we get next!
Knot Interested-
That was just the cutest little Novella. Sometimes I’m in need of something that is very low plot and all smart. Jillian absolutely delivered with that. It was short and spicy and a little sweet, which was the best ending to this series that I could possibly think of. I also like that this throttle wasn’t baby focused like some of the other sets of characters are.… they were definitely a random bunch of personalities and I loved it.

This omnibus present a perfect collection of OV’s stories that has us addicted to their characters, full of fluffy and sweet moments, and plot lines that although low in angst, are well crafted and interesting… and the spice? Just know that it hits the spot perfectly delicious!
A overview of each story:
•Knot Guaranteed: I enjoyed this story so freaking much, the ADHD its delicately portrayed by Tinsel and I just loved her character… she’s the sweetest in the world and I loved that she gets to have a pack who loves her so much no matter what… I mean the pinning that Fitz has going on is to dying for! And the twins… The dom/baby girl dynamic between Warrick and Tinsel is so good! And Ramsey it’s the perfect buffer for all that alpha energy!
•knot Wanted: Here we got a much steamier story, Shanna is a fierce and passionate omega who’s unapologetic about her sexuality and what she wants in life (as she should)! Being the little fire that she is, only her could possibly make two rock stars who hate each other guts to be in the same pack haha! Funny, sweet and with so much spice it was a hell of a ride to see Shanna forming her pack!
•Novella: It is the perfect little treat to conclude the omnibus in a spicy and funny way giving us the chance to know more about this three characters that managed to caught up our attention with appearances here and there!

I love rereading Jillian West books because I know it's going to be full of cozy moments to giggle and kick my feet to, and this omnibus is no different!
Tinley is such a sweet omega and I absolutely adore how all in Warrick and Ramsey are after one meeting. And then, of course, there's Fitz and his (believed to be) unrequited love for his sister's best friend, and Tinley's (believed to be) unrequited love for her best friend's brother. I love that Tinley's ASD and ADHD traits were a part of the story but weren't excessively shoved in our faces the whole time, and I loved even more that her alphas accomadated her without hesitation while never making it a big deal.
Shanna's douchey ex-pack make me feel a little teensy-bit violent on her behalf, and her alphas feel no different (as they should!). I loved seeing this new version of Carter and I'm a sucker for a supportive guy like Jack. Lang was honestly such a sweet guy despite being portrayed as a difficult rockstar and his bodygaurd, Saxon, was so protective of Shanna and I'm SO here for it.
Chloe's novella was short and sweet and spicy and a perfect way to wrap up this omnibus. Kage and Jones might not get along that well, but they make it work to take care of Chloe during her heat and quickly come to turns with the fact that they're stuck with each other.
Thank you, Jillian, for giving me an ARC of this book!

At this point, I've stopped questioning it, if Jillian West writes it, I'm reading it.
Ruined Records: Chicago is everything I love about her books wrapped up in one fantastic omnibus. Low angst, swoony heroes, lovable heroines, found family, protective alphas, and relationships that feel genuine and earned. Every romance has its own unique dynamic while still fitting perfectly into the larger friend group and rock star world.
Tinley, Shanna, and Chloe each have their own journey, and I loved seeing them find the people who adored them exactly as they were. The rock star setting is fun without overshadowing the emotional connections, and Jillian's signature "men fall first" energy never gets old. Add in older bodyguards, rival bands, surprise heats, and all the sweet, comforting moments that make her books so addictive, and I was completely hooked.
What I appreciate most is how this series delivers all the emotional payoff without unnecessary drama. The stakes feel real, but the stories remain comforting, romantic, and impossible to put down. The bonus novella is the perfect finishing touch and makes this omnibus feel like the complete experience.
If you're looking for a binge-worthy, low-stress omegaverse romance with unforgettable characters and all the heart, this is it. Jillian West has done it again...and honestly, I'm convinced she can do no wrong.

Ruined Records is an omnibus of 2 books & a novella. As much as I love Jillian's OV books, I just wasnt that interested in reading rockstar OV books, I think cause I'm a little jaded with rockstars. Ya know, the whole sex, drugs and rock 'n roll vibe that is so common in real life. But I've been struggling reading lately. Like, really struggling. Like, 20 books behind schedule for my yearly reading goal struggling. And I've loved everything she writes, so yup, I jumped right in. Thank God I did. This isn't a short book, but I read it in a weekend.
You can read so many other reviews that'll break down each book and the novella but instead I'm just going to tell that each story has me feeling so much better about the whole rockstar OV sub-category. And now I look forward to reading more of them. Especially if written as well as these were.
I do have to say that Carter's redemption arc from book 1 to book 2 I think was my favorite of the whole ominbus. I also think he was a bit misunderstood and I'm not sure that some of our characters realized what he was doing/not doing, regardless of what it might have looked like. Just know, I'm side eyeing y'all.
Thank you Jillian for pulling me out of my reading slump, even if I'm slowly sliding back in to it.

Inevitable HEAs
Knot Guaranteed
I'm not much into age play terminology but gosh Daddy Warrick definitely did it for me. The whole possessive yet protective vibe is delicious. Fitz had infinite patience for Tinley and her quirks and he's so deserving of their HEA. Ramsey is unapologetic in his interest for Tinley and combined they make an excellent sweetverse pack. I devoured the book and loved the cameos from previous Ruined Record characters. 5☆ for sure.
Knot Wanted
Ok can I just be honest and say I wasn't a fan of Carter's in the previous book but hoped he'd get his redemption. And as if she read my mind Jillian West delivered. Shanna is an excellent heroine and all she wants is to be valued and start a family. I so appreciate the overall low angst of the story while also touching on emotional topics. Lang and Shanna's soul connection was a new concept in the OmegaVerse setting for me and how cool there is a deeper connection than just a scent match. Saxon is the perfect Daddy and Jack's desperate instalove was fun to read. Absolutely loved the story.
Knot Interested
Chloe, Jones & Kage. Although Chloe was knot interested, add a surprise change of designations and things got steamy. MFM and what a delicious novella.

Review:
This is a bundle, 3 books in one. Yes you read that right 3 in one well the last one is a novella. They are all omegaverse, all interconnected stand-alones, with no cheating.
I have listened to Knot Guaranteed & Knot Wanted but Knot Interested was new to me.
So I will review Knot Interested because the others are already reviewed on my page.
We have Chloe, Kage and Jones. Chloe is the omega of the group and is a clothing designer & works for Ruined Records. Then we have the grumpy alpha Jones, he’s the personal security. Then there is Kage the musician(the rockstar) he plays the drums.
I would definitely recommend this book, but I’m pretty so whoever knows me knows that I will always recommend. Knot Guaranteed is my favorite of the Series.
Thank you Jillian west for the ARC, I will always be thankful for the opportunity to read and review your books.

Knot Guaranteed
Another great Omegaverse story from Jillian. I love how she weaves characters together from different books and series. Tinley is so great in all her quirky awkwardness! It was so sweet how she and Fitz were totally in love with each other but neither realized how the other felt. It really made for some fun, sweet, and eventually spicy interactions. The heat is definitely high, and there’s just a small amount of drama. Loved, loved, loved it!!!
Knot Wanted
I loved Shanna's story! She was really struggling with her self-confidence after how her relationship with the latest pack ended, and I loved watching how her forever pack formed around her. Lots of spice and just a little bit of drama. So great!
Knot Interested
Chloe’s world turns upside down when a completely unexpected heat brings her and Kage together. He’s been into her and has been flirting with her, but she’s been rejecting him. Things get hot and heavy quickly, and Kage realizes he’s going to need some extra assistance, so he calls in his security guard, Jones, who’s also been interested in Chloe. Fast-paced and high spice. This is a fun novella to finish out this series. Loved it!!!

Knot Guaranteed:
Jillian can do nothing wrong. This book was another amazing omegaverse! Low angst and just a beautiful story! This super sweet rockstar omegaverse romance was the perfect amount of cocky, dominant rockstar and caring sweet alphas.
I loved the dynamic between the guys and Tinley, I loved the relationship building, I loved the chemistry, and I loved the spice!!! Another 5 star book by Jillian and definitely one you have to read!
Knot Wanted:
Omg I love Shanna and her pack! I loved seeing Carter and Jack! Omg and the little peeks at Tinley and her pack too! Omg wait. I want the forest scene Jill!!!
Shanna is an omega who just keeps getting turned down by alphas and packs. So much that she starts to believe that it’s her fault, my heart hurt for her. But then some meddling from a friend and she starts to see that it’s not her now that she’s in the proximity of the alphas she’s meant to be with. It was everything! Just like everything Jillian writes this was another 5 star read for me!

What a book this was! I finished it in one day as I couldn't put it down. It is really good! I loved Tinley! She hasn't had a heat and so per definition she isn't an omega. But the alphas know she is an omega. They are sweet and obsessive with Tinley. It has all the ingredients I love but this is a fluffy book mainly and that is ok. It has a childhood best friend and twins in it. Do I need to say more? It's a re-read for sure.
knot wanted: Such an amazing omegaverse yet again! Never boring and this one I absolutely loved. Yes I love the FMC Shanna here and she's Fitz little sister and happy for Tinley who recently got her pack. She just left a pack and wants to start something just as a hookup thing and does so with Lang. We also meet his bodyguard Saxon and then we have two friends from her brother Carter and Jack. Jack, swoon, can a guy get any sweeter? Loved him but also love how Carter redeems himself even while still being a jerk. Must read for all OV lovers out there.
And a bonus novella that takes you back to your favorite characters and only in this omnibus. I loved it all and it's giving me all the swoon I wanted.

One of my faves from Jillian which surprises me as I don’t typically like rockstar books. However these alphas, particularly Warwick, are so well written they totally make up for it. Loved seeing the neurodivergent rep with Tinley. Enjoyed the audio but preferred to eyeball read it. I’m gunna repeat myself here: Daddy Warwick is 🥵
Knot Wanted
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jillian does it again with this latest book. I wasn’t sure if I’d like Carter after meeting him in Knot Guaranteed but he turned into my favorite character. I loved him pushing Jack and Shanna. Lang had some work to do but he grows on you like a foot fungus IYKYK 😂 Daddy Saxon is chef’s kiss. I love how despite there’s enemies in the pack, it’s still low angst. Jillian is a master at low angst conflict 💕

Short, sweet but spicy read. I love Chloe. add in Kage and Jones and they’re the perfect little trio that help balance each other out. I loved being back with the RR: Chicago characters. They give all the happy, cozy feelings

Lang had some work to do but he grows on you like a foot fungus IYKYK 😂 Daddy Saxon is chef’s kiss. I love how despite there’s enemies in the pack, it’s still low angst. Jillian is a master at low angst conflict 💕

Short, sweet but spicy read. I love Chloe. add in Kage and Jones and they’re the perfect little trio that help balance each other out. I loved being back with the RR: Chicago characters. They give all the happy, cozy feelings

I absolutely love the Ruined Records: Chicago series.
Knot Guaranteed was one of the very first Omegaverse books that I read, and I honestly return to it frequently to reread as it is an excellent book. It is both low angst, with sweet characters and hot and steamy. Jillian West writes the best stories where omegas make their packs as they go, and it was fun watching Tinley cluelessly form her pack. She is such a special character and one of my most favorite omegas ever.
Knot Wanted, the second book in the series, is also excellent. Shanna and her alphas make for a great story, and there is a lot of tension in this one as the pack members are from different bands, keeping things interesting.
Finally, Knot Interested is a fun short story about Chloe, Jones and Kage. I was happy to see them come together, after meeting them all in earlier books. It was a quick, easy read with great characters.
Overall, I love this series and was excited to see it released as an Omnibus with new content.

I loved Tinsley and her pack. Warrick defiantly gave off Daddy vibes. I love how she didn't want Warrick to hide his scars. She loved how he looked and told him so. The twins are amazing, I love Fitz and Ramsey. I love that they get a happy ending. Yes it was a great read
🖤Knot Wanted
This is Shanna and her pack mates.... Cater, Lang, Jack & Saxon
This one was wow, I loved how the men fall fast and hard for her. Now what made me love Saxon was he gave off those hot vibes and daddy dom vibes. If i could just join her pack, I would be calling him Daddy as well. Like 100%
Now............
✨Knot Interested

THIS is a short story and I actually loved reading how Kage and Jones reacted. Defiantly a great short novella. I will definitely be reading this book again.
