Knotting Season

Packs of Honey Creek

by Tia Tomlin

I came to save my food truck.
Instead, I’m stranded on a mountain road with three Alphas coming to my rescue.
Welcome to Honey Creek.

I need one good weekend.

Win over the crowds at the biggest food festival around, prove my grandmother’s recipes belong on the map, and finally turn my struggling food truck into something that lasts.

Simple enough.

Until my truck dies before I even make it into town—and three devastatingly gorgeous first responders answer my call for help.

Aiden—the commanding fire captain who takes charge of every disaster I stumble into.
Drew—the broody paramedic who notices everything, remembers everything, and quietly fixes everything.
And Micah—the ER doctor who makes me laugh, spoils my rescue dog, and makes being cared for feel wildly tempting.

Three unbonded Alphas.
One very independent Omega.
And a suppressant patch that’s picked the absolute worst time to fail.

I learned a long time ago what happens when an Omega trusts the wrong Alpha.
I won’t make that mistake again.

But then my heat hits—and it’s knotting season in Honey Creek.

The three men I planned to leave behind are the only ones my body wants.

But the scariest part comes after…
They stay.

They fix my truck. Feed my dog. Make room for my dreams. And little by little, they turn Honey Creek into the first place that’s ever felt like home.

I came here desperate to save my business.
I never expected to find a pack that would save me.

This was a great story about Everly and her dog Peanut who are travelling to Honey Creek for the festival where she will cook and sell her food in her food truck, when her truck breaks down on the side of a mountain road and are stuck in the heat and when she sends a text to the forum that she is a part of the message changes itself to something totally different. Then a firetruck arrives. and Aiden Miller, who is the fire captain, then Drew, Callaghan, EMT lead paramedic and Micah Brooks who is an ER doctor come to her rescue. All of a sudden her suppressant isn’t working anymore, and her omega scent is blooming which attracts all three of the alphas. This was a story of Everly, who was struggling to believe that there would be anyone there for her, and these three alphas prove to her that they are always available and will always be her alphas. It all wins well with a bit of drama and intrigue when somebody damages her truck. There is a happy ending with a want to have children and live happily as a pack.

[Lisa Bing]

This was an engaging romance that brings Everly, an omega who struggles with the idea that there is anyone in the world for her, romantically, an HEA with a pack of first responders. This is a gal that things manage to go sideways without her say-so and her meet cute with Aiden, Drew and Callaghan sure seemed to highlight that, not to mention her suppressants giving it up and sending her into an unexpected heat ;P These alphas more than prove that they're ready and willing to help her out in any way and that they're there for her. Of course, we have some intrigue, drama and the cutest of dogs, so be prepared to read past your bed time with this one as you follow her to her HEA. Good fun!

Finding Home in Honey Creek

This was such a cute, cozy, and spicy omegaverse romance with a really fun small-town atmosphere.

I really liked the basic premise of Everly, her food truck, and her adorable rescue dog Peanut arriving in Honey Creek and unexpectedly ending up with three very protective Alphas in her life. Aiden, Drew, and Micah each have their own personalities, and I enjoyed watching their relationship with Everly slowly develop. I especially liked that, despite the spice, the story was ultimately much more about finding trust, building a relationship, and finally finding a place that feels like home.

For me, the book was a little too long. The middle dragged quite a bit, and I found myself skimming some parts. I also felt that the Alphas could sometimes be a little too possessive and dominant. That is, of course, very much a matter of personal preference, but it occasionally felt like a bit too much for me.

The sabotage storyline added some much-needed tension, although I found it fairly predictable. Still, it helped round out the story and gave the final part a little more excitement.

Overall, this was a sweet and sexy read with plenty of spice, protective Alphas, a lovable dog, and a cozy small-town feel. It wasn’t perfect for me, but I definitely enjoyed Everly’s journey and the way the three men slowly became her home.

3.5 stars from me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️½.

This engaging romance follows Everly, an omega who doubts she will ever find romantic love, on her journey toward a happily-ever-after with a pack of first responders. Unfortunate surprises seem to follow her everywhere, a pattern perfectly illustrated by her initial meet-cute with fire captain Aiden Miller, lead paramedic Drew Callaghan, and ER doctor Micah Brooks. While driving to a festival in Honey Creek with her dog, Peanut, to sell food from her food truck, her vehicle breaks down on a hot mountain road and leaves them stranded. Desperate for help, she messages an online forum, where her request mysteriously alters itself and prompts a fire truck to come to her rescue.

Complicating matters further, her suppressants suddenly fail. Her omega scent blooms, triggering an unexpected heat that instantly draws all three alphas to her side. They quickly prove their readiness and dedication to support her in every way, reassuring her that they will always be her pack. Packed with drama, suspense—including someone sabotaging her truck—and the absolute cutest dog, this captivating, fun story will keep you reading long into the night as Everly reaches her HEA, complete with a shared future and plans to build a family together.

WOW what a start to a series. Everley feels like so many of us desperately holding herself together after being let down by supposed loved ones in the past. She striving to find herself and make her dreams come true by attending a food festival in her food truck with her beloved pup Peanut. Disaster strikes when she breaks down before reaching the town, but after a technical mishap she somehow has the fire chief, EMT and ER doctor all arriving to rescue her, after some initial annoyance over the misunderstanding/false alarm, one good whiff and their lives will never be the same! Aiden the fire chief, mr cool, calm and collected gives serious daddy dom vibes, Micah the ER doctor is a total golden retriever, mr sunshine, but also totally committed even if a little confused and then we have EMT Drew, you the know the saying still waters run deep, his love language is definitely actions speak louder than words. They just need to stop thinking as I do and work as a pack to get the girl of their dreams/scent match onboard! Loved it and can’t wait for the next in the series.

[Catherine Ramirez Leon]

Everly’s trip to Honey Creek begins with a broken-down food truck, a mischievous phone correction, and three first responders arriving when she least expects help. That lively opening grows into a warm pack romance as fire captain Aiden, paramedic Drew, and ER doctor Micah each care for her in a different way. Their personalities feel distinct, and I especially enjoyed how their support extends beyond attraction to her business, her confidence, and adorable rescue dog Peanut.

The heat and bond dynamics are intense, but the emotional centre is Everly learning that independence does not have to mean facing every setback alone. The food festival, truck repairs, small-town community, and touch of sabotage give the story movement while preserving its cosy atmosphere. Sweet, spicy, and reassuring, this is a satisfying found-family omegaverse romance with protective Alphas and a heartfelt HEA.

This is first book of yours i've read, and i was so thoroughly engrossed in the story. It was Hot, Sexy, with 3 Alphas.

Adrian, Drew, Micah. Everly has trust and insecure issues, which gradually, with help of 3 Alphas, help her with her sudden Heat she goes into. Gradually townspeople lover her food cart, faces weather issues, damage to her food cart, and a jealous man trying to scare her off, with his own food place wanting to be only one. Everly is a Omega, and goes to a couple serious Heat issues, nearly causing her severe health issues. Her 3 Alphas are a fire dept Captain, paramedic and a Medical Dr. I look forward to reading more of your books. Loved the idea of her being knotted, so very Hot!!!

[April Nicole]

What a whirlwind !!! This is most definitely not your typical Omegaverse and I'm here for it. Very much cozy. The heat wasn't the central focus of the book. Though the spice was there but it was more about developing their relationships. The FMC had past trauma and itchy feet. The MMC's has to earn her heart and get her to stay. It really is as simple as that. No muss no fuss. Just a sweet in depth story of an omega finding her place. Also really impressed with the sexy scenes and the descriptions the author gave. There's four people rolling around and lot of times you just have to use your imagination. Not in this case. You know where every tongue, hand, and person is. Lastly it's mfmm so no sword crossing. That's what you get with the letters MM are after the F. I did receive this as an arc but am not obligated to leave this review.

Peanut was the star of the book 🤭🤭
This was such an amazing, cute, steamy, emotional book and i absolutely loved it.
I love the world building and how it went into detail about everything. I loved the characters and how they interacted with each other and I love the storyline.
I loved Aiden, Drew, and Micah and how they immediately wanted to take care of Everly and protect her. They had such a cute meet-cute 🤭🤭.
I admire Everly and how she did what she needed to do to get her food truck up and running. I love that she tried so hard not to fall for the three alphas but ended up falling anyways. There were some ups nd downs that happened in the book but in the end it all worked out. Really excited to read the next book!!

[Camilla Van Vianen]

This book is cozy and sweet from the meet cute to the end. The FMC Everly rolls into town with a determination to make her food truck a success. She has experienced trauma from an ex and her own mother not supporting her. She meets the MMCs who are all integral to this town. They show her support and grow to love her. I loved the addition of Peanut, Everly’s dog. The backdrop of the town Honey Creek just adds to the small town cozy feel. This is definitely a great book if looking for a cozy Omegaverse book.

Everly has been told she is not worthy enough times she believes it. But when she is driving her food truck to one of the largest food festivals and it breaks down with very little cell phone coverage, the most gorgeous alphas come to rescue her. Well life changes just a bit. Aiden, Drew and Micah all want her and want her to stay forever in Honey Creek. But will she? Will she be enough? Will she be successful with her food truck? Lots of spice, love and finding of a family.

[Amy Hutchins]

I fell in love with this story right at the very beginning. It had me hooked all the way to the end. You fall in love each with Everly, Aiden, Micah, and Drew. They each compliment each other so well and you can relate so much to Everly. You really root for her to find her happiness and you want it to be with Aiden, Micah, and Drew, because they deserve a HEA just as much. I love that they kept showing up for her, but also giving her space to be who she is and trying to prove herself. I was so, so happy for their HEA!.

Everly seriously resonated with me. Being told she's worthless by those who should have loved her, losing everything, scratching and clawing for every single thing she has, never relying on or trusting anyone. The fight within to believe she's truly safe. It struck a serious chord. The way Aiden, Drew, & Micah stood beside her and kept choosing her intentionally and out loud. Heartstrings plucked. I look forward to seeing what happens next in Honey Creek.

[Ceci Nestpasune]

I had never read a cozy omegaverse book before, so I thought I'd try this. It's a very cute story with a lot of smut and erotic scenes. As someone who does not usually ready in the omegaverse at all, I thought the sex was well-written. The characters are pretty one-dimensional, but you're not reading this for a well developed character and plot, right?.

[TXBourbon]

The story starts with a bang as the FMC, Everly's food truck dies on a mountain road. Her three rescuers are hot alpha's who are annoyed to be responding to an "emergency" only to find a broken down vehicle.

From there, the story evolves into Everly fighting to stay in the festival and finding her spot in a new town. The MMCs are sweet and supportive as they figure out their feelings for our spunky FMC.

This is a cute, cozy story that's a great weekend read!

[Lisa Young]

Hot Damn! If you’re looking for a book with sexy Heat and Fire, and a little mystery, Knotting Season is for you. Everly has three sexy Alphas breathing fire for her; paramedic Drew, fire captain Aiden, and doctor Micah. Everly has her lovable pup Peanut and a chosen life with her food truck. It’s an absolute delight reading this story about how three men Show Up for and protect their Omega. You won’t put it down!!

[Jen]

This books starts into the action straight from the get-go, which was a nice surprise. The characters are wonderfully presented and instantly likable. Then there the mystery man and it felt almost like there was two books in one, no spoilers here. This story kept me intrigued and entertained throughout.

Everly and her alphas were amazing together. I love the pack dynamic and how they give Everly all the space and time she needs but don’t hesitate when she needs them. As always a 10/10 if you love omegaverse and reverse harems!.

[Summer Stanley]

Starts off on a hilarious note. I laughed the whole time in the beginning. There's more than just the Omega/ Alpha chemistry between them. Everly really gets to the reader by trying and failing to be overly independent to the point is detrimental to herself.

[Carmen Van wyk]

The novel launches at a rapid pace, initially overwhelming with its intensity, but quickly drawing the reader into its emotional depth. Well‑written and tightly structured, it maintains a gripping momentum throughout. A compelling and engaging read.

[Debbie Benson]

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I liked how a bit of chance brings together Everly, Aiden, Drew and Micah. Here suppressant failing allows them to bond and to be happy together. I liked this cute story.

[Jennifer]

Overall I enjoyed the journey that the omega went on. Thoughts parts were alittle slow or unnecessary. Loved the sense of community she found and Peanut’s antics.

DNF. Second book I’ve tried by this author and I just don’t think she’s for me. This book has really off pacing, cringy dialogue, and lots of inconsistencies.

Full of “he understands exactly how I feel”….. after literally two interactions with barely any conversation.

[Jessica L Morton]

I definitely enjoyed this book. I thought the plot was cute and sweet. The only thing I really didnt like was that none of the characters stood out to me and I hard time remember which alpha was which.

[Nicole Pavier Carr]

I needed something light, this was warm, cosy and spicy. A nice seasonal read 🧡

First Response RH omega romance

A lovely fun heartwarming small-town RH romance, with lovely sweet characters, three Alpha first responders and a food truck chef, a dog called Peanut, friendship, banter, chemistry, spice, emotions, romance and love. A lovely omega why choose romance in a small town where secrets don't stay hidden for long.

Everly was just wanting to have her food truck in town for the food festival when it breaks down on the road going in. With poor reception her request for help ends up bringing the fire chief, lead paramedic and the ER doctor; and things just get more difficult when her omega scent hits all of them.
