From the moment I saw the cover, the title and the authors who wrote it I was already looking forward to this book. I've come to love the Sweetverse (a sweeter version of Omegaverse stories) ever since I read the very first one and I can't get enough of them. I knew without a doubt that this one was gonna be a good one and I therefore couldn't be happier when I got an arc from the authors so I could already read it before release day!

Although the heroine in this story is abused in her past, it's not gonna get much sweeter than this. From the moment the Pack in this story lay eyes on our heroine they do whatever they can to make her feel loved, treasured, worshipped and appreciated. This book is therefore a collection of sweet days, loads of tender and less tender moments in the bedroom and loads of compliments and reminders of awesomeness.

The focus in this book is almost completely on our heroine, her Pack and the bond and connection they're slowly building. However, of course getting away from an abusive relationship comes with scars and traumas and of course the abuser is not that happy to let his Omega go. For me that element of the story could have been a little more prominent, since I'm someone who prefers a little more plot over another intimate moment.

Just like I personally would have loved it if the authors had taken a little more time to get us to really feel the backstories of the guys, what they've been through and why they became who they are nowadays. It was clear they were amazing people and especially the right kind of men for our Omega, but in a way it felt like they were mostly love-interests and their own characters only after that. However, I did really enjoy reading this story and closed it with a smile on my face.

Way too ridiculous, over the top, insta-love. After seeing the h once, the beta of the pack knows she's the one for them. The alphas go overboard insta-love for no reason as well. They want to move her in day one, give her access to everything they own, including their billion dollar business. I mean I couldn't take it anymore when they got the private doctor to come treat her and carried her around for days because she got blisters on her feet from too tight shoes. I know with omegaverse there can be such quick connections with fated mates but this was ridiculous times ten. There wasn't a chance for real connections and relationship building making this cringy and impossible to get invested in.

This was simple and sweet, and had some great steamy scenes.
The writing wasn’t my favorite, but it wasn’t hard to get through.
The sex also wasn’t my favorite, but I liked that it happened pretty regularly and that each time the relationship grew with the characters’ growing trust.
I liked the relationships between characters but I would have liked a tiny bit more attention given to their beta. It just felt a little off balance at times, I don’t think we got enough quality time with him outside of sex.

I probably won’t be coming back to read the second book in the series, but I enjoyed it.

This was a light bit of floof that was super insta-love cheesy, but it was the palate cleanser that I needed right now.

If I'm honest, it felt like a lighter version of Lola and the Millionaires - abused heroine comes to work for super rich pack, and they insta-love. She's recovering from trauma, they're super patient and lovely, and there's loads of smut. The violence is mostly hand-waved away and otherwise is convenient (the run-in with the abuser at the end was super convenient), but I don't care because this was just what I was in the mood for right now.

I used to not be able to read omegaverse but man y'all are making me fall in love! The fierce protectiveness the guys show Alena immediately is something that resonates with me on a deep level due to my past and the current guy I've been seeing for awhile. I loved it. I would LOOOOVE more though lol gimme gimme!

I'm at 35% and this book is so sickly sweet, I'm considering DNF-ing. I generally like it when the alphas are protective and caring of the omega right off the bat, but they are fawning over her. The supposedly 'psycho' one (the one with dark moods who likes to play with knives) is basically like an overgrown puppy with her. The dialogue is corny and cheesy and a bit cringey.
No, Princess... Listen to our voices. We promise never to lie to you. Every word we utter is the truth of our hearts, and you are the sunshine that entered our world of eternal night. Because of you, we can finally feel the sunshine on our faces and really experience life and love.
Honestly, who speaks like that?

Alena ran away from an abusive partner but doesn't exhibit any signs of being afraid of the alphas, except for two or three moments when they accidentally startle her. I think the fact that she likes their scents is supposed to be reassuring, but the story doesn't make that clear, and in any case, Betraying Body Syndrome should not be able to trump trauma and the involuntary reflexes caused by it.

On the other hand, the guys are attracted to her by her scent, even the beta. I wanted a bit more world-building because usually betas aren't that susceptible to scent. One whiff of her scent makes the four of them her slaves for life, and then the next thing you know they're hauling her everywhere in a bridal carry, not even letting her walk on her own. It's honestly so over-the-top.

Lack of world-building also comes into play when they talk about Society, with an uppercase 'S'. No explanation was given for this -- is it an organisation, a group of people (like the British royals), a socioeconomic class, what?? Both Alena and Simon are from Society, but the kinds of jobs Alena had worked at (odd jobs or part-time jobs) didn't seem to match with the concept of someone who was from a privileged background or living in a wealthy neighbourhood.

The way the four of them ditch their secretaries so that Alena could be secretary to all of them at once made zero business sense. Obviously there was enough work to justify hiring a secretary for each of the men, so how could they expect Alena to do the work of four people? Was I supposed to be impressed that they wanted her close by, on the same floor as them, throughout their workday, so they got rid of their four other female employees in order to make that happen? The way her slick starts flowing the moment she so much as sniffs one of their scents seems to make working together an extremely impractical proposition. And, even though they reassigned their previous secretaries and ensured the ladies didn't take a paycut, did they really expect the women not to feel resentful of Alena? Honestly, nothing about that situation made sense.

There's no conflict or danger to keep the tension high and make the reader want to keep flipping pages. Alena forgets her ex and the potential danger she's in for entire chapters. The plot is so obvious and predictable.

Also, can I just comment on this latest fad of omegaverse book titles playing on the word 'Knot'? A bunch of people seem to be doing it now, and it's getting to be overdone. This book, then Eve Newton's Tied in Knots and Knot a Tie, Rory Miles' Knot for Me, Sinclair Kelly's I Think Knot and Knot a Chance, Belle Kent's Knot His Type and Knot That Type of Girl, the Knot Over You anthology... it might have been a clever pun at the beginning, but it's now lame and tired. I hope authors move on to more creative titles because I don't know if I can take much more of these punny names.

This was my first book by these authors and really enjoyed this original storyline in the Omegaverse world.

We meet Alena right away. On the run from her Fiancé and The Society. The Society is old way thinking; Omegas are for whatever you want, when you want it but most importantly to obey. Trying to run from her abusive past, she gets help from an Omega Sanctuary of sorts that help Omegas in her position relocate and start over.

When her new job is nothing like she pictured, she quickly catches the eyes of Beta Julian and Alphas Xavier, Elias and Simon. Her new beginning is starting to look up, but she is quickly confronted by the gorgeous, drool worthy Alphas who seem to set off her heat.

In this insta-love storyline, we are touched by the pack that wants to claim Alena as their own almost immediately and vow themselves to keeping her safe. They all know she has secrets but are willing to wait it out until she is secure. When Alena's past comes back to haunt her, will the guys truly be able to keep her safe? Can Alena let her walls down and become the Omega this pack needs her to be? Will she be able to let her guard down enough to realize this pack is now like how she was raised.

This book was super cute. I wasn't expecting the insta-love connection. But the authors did a good job at keeping the story steady with it and the guys all fawned over Alena the entire time, making it much more romantic. I would have loved to have more of an ending when Dylan came back. It was a little bit anti-climactic. You knew something was going to happen so when it did, it came and went way too fast.

*Overall 4/5
*Heat? 5/5
*Multiple first person POV
*Light MM
*MMFMM Relationship
*Ends on HFN

Alena escaped her previous life, where Omegas are "property" and treated horribly by their alphas. When she starts her new life, she attracts 3 sweet alphas and one beta, they are willing to do anything to give her the perfect life she deserves.

Perfect Knot is a standalone book by the wonderful authors, Aspen Black and Jenn D. Young. This was a fast-paced, instalove, RH non-shifter Omegaverse, that really made you feel so warm and fuzzy. Alena really clicked with me from the very beginning. She had actual reactions to her trauma and they didn't just disappear within a snap. It made her that more realistic. Her guys are LITERALLY a dream. They made her feel like she's on top of the world, a queen. There were a few words that became a bit repetitious and I was hoping for a little more world building. Over-all, this was a very enjoyable read and this is definitely the perfect palette cleanser for those looking for a sweet, yet very spicy omegaverse read.

Loved this Omegaverse story. Authors Young and Black always write amazing stories together. This book is their first foray into the Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamic. The characters are well crafted with depth and damage. The story is engaging and I read it in one sitting. I look forward to the next book in this new story universe.

Perfectly Knot is the first book in Aspen Black's and Jenn D. Young's Curvy Omegaverse series and I really enjoyed it. The book is a rh omegaverse (of course) standalone that had instant attraction and a fast burn. The story focuses on runaway omega, Alena, who is starting, and four of the sweetest men who want to give Alena everything.


Alena is brave as heck, she's an abused omega who gathers the strength to run away from an abusive mating. Alena is a really nice person, capable, and charming, even while still living with a little fear. She's also brave enough to start over with little help and even braver to open herself up to one beta and three alphas. All powerful in their designations and in business.


Elias, Xavier, Julian, and Simon are all fantastic. Not only do they own an influential business but they also are supporters of some great causes, not only do they put their money towards helping people, they actively help whenever they can. Best of all they care deeply for Alena and treat her like the precious treasure that they feel that she is, there was no fight the connection between them. Their bond grows pretty quickly and they form a strong relationship with guys doing nothing but caring for their omega.


This is a mostly sweet omegaverse but of course, as with most omegaverses I've read, there is a dark side. However, I was surprised that in this world there are states where omegas have rights, I find that an interesting twist on omega culture. The plot was all about romance, and relationship bonding with some moments of drama that comes from outside the group. There were a couple of reveals that came out of nowhere but added to the story.


Perfectly Knot has everything I could want in an omegaverse. It was a good read that I found sweet and really enjoyed. The story was lighter than most omegaverse and while I still like my dark reads it's nice to change it up. This book had so great characters, I love the main people, of course, but there were a few side characters that were introduced that I liked as well and I have a feeling that they might get their own books. Aspen and Jenn already have the next Curvy Omegaverse book in the works, Knot Only One is up next.

Absolutely loved this book. Loved that the FMC is a curvy girl. Alena has had a bad past. As an omega she was treated terribly until she was able to escape. She never guessed that her life was about to change for the better when she meets the four men who run the business ahe works for. Such a sweet and tragic story with an amazing ending.

This was such a sweet read. It's insta love and the guys are absolutely swoonworthy in their sweetness.

From the moment the pack laid eyes on Alena they were smitten. They showered her with love and adoration and helped build her back up after her traumatic past.

Of course there is a little bit of drama when her abuser comes back around because he doesn't want to give up his Omega that easy. But in the end Alena continues her happy life full of sweet reassurance with her pack.

A very enjoyable book. Alena is a strong Omega, She runs from any abusive relations, mating, to try her best and be happy, have a somewhat normal life. She ends up having Four protectores that would do anything for her. Still She is very gierce and independente. A very Nice standalone book.

DNF. First of all, I’m normally alright with some insta love but I at least want some justification, like they fell for the personality. Not “I knew she was perfect at first glance.” Sir, if she wasn’t your employee you wouldn’t even know her name. And can we not romanticize drastic power imbalances in the work place? Like “I have a ✨fantastic✨idea! Let’s make the pretty omega that we are clearly interested in romantically our secretary because that’s not an HR violation or anything.” (Proposed by the boss who oversees the HR department 🤦‍♀️). Not the book for me and definitely not one I would recommend to anyone who expects a semblance of reality and logic to exist within a plot.

Dam I am hooked and have been since page one. Alenas background is tough. But she definitely knows where she wants her life to go. As this book progresses she first starts off worried about everything but that slowly starts to change. This book is done in Multiple POVs which is fantastic, it is also a bonus. Not read much in the way of omegaverse but I really loved this book and definitely has me wanting to read more books like this. I also NEED to read more from these 2 great authors.

Every now and again, I indulge in a bit of a sweet Omegaverse story and this one did not disappoint one bit. In fact, I thought that that the authors have done a very crafty work of entangling quite a few themes that are rather important for me such as mental health and self- appreciation.

I liked the fact that the FMC is portrayed as a naturally beautiful woman, who possesses all feminine features and instead of being outcasted for her slight curves, she is cherished for it. Here I would note that by no means I am stating that femininity is related to a particular body shape, but unlike most books I have read in the genre, the main heroine is slightly different.
The pack has been fantastic from day one and indeed things happen rather fast, but as they get to know each other, more solid connections started to develop. I thought that they were tender, patient and supportive from the very beginning.

What stood out in this book is the change that the FMC goes through as she battles her past and starts to see the person she actually is when given the chance to breathe and live as she pleases.
The writing is quite good and the authors have been attentive to the characters' development as well as the smooth progression of the story. Would be interested to see how some of the side characters' journey goes through in the next book.

Perfectly Knot, the first book im the Curvy Omegaverse series by Aspen Black Jenn D. Young was a quick read and a fabulous dip into a new Omegaverse world. If you love steamy RH omegaverse stories that escalate quickly then this is the one for you!

This is a story about a broken, scared and emotionally and physically scarred Omega named Alena who is on the run from a traumatic past when fate intervenes and puts her straight in the path of four white knights—three hot as hell alphas in all their glory and an equally charismatic Beta that completes their group. Instantly these men sense Alena is meant for them and were willing to prove to her that they were meant for her as well. And I absolutely loved how even though Alena was vulnerable, emotionally fragile and haunted but ther past that she welcomed them in and accepted them back. The way they helped her overcome her trauma and open herself back up to live was beautiful to read.

This story was a quick fun read that was so well written it pulled me right in to Alena’s story and I absolutely loved all her men! If you’re a fan of the omegaverse world and insta love romances featuring curvy heroines and deliciously hot alpha/beta males then this is a must read!

A cuddly read!
This has all the tropes you’re looking for in an RH Omegaverse 😄
There’s knotting, nests and white knight alphas 😍 Alena is our omega who has been abused in the past and has managed to escape with the help of an organisation!
She gets herself back on her feet across country and within the first day of her new job she meets the bosses 3 alphas and their beta….and despite he fears she certainly feels the connections ☺️
They acknowledge her fears and insecurities and certainly help to build her up! Elias has that unflappable control that centres her; Simon the suave Brit who has some understanding of what she’s been through; Xavier slightly crazy but certainly protective and Julian the beta who encourages her to take chances 🙂
As expected with these storylines Alenas past does come back for her but her guys do get to enact their hero mode and save the day giving plenty of feels in this standalone!

Giggle…

Alena escapes her old abusive alpha with help from an omega organization. They help her get a new identity, job and necessities.
First day of her new job she meets Julian a sexy beta. She finds herself attracted to him.
Julian can’t shake the feelings that Alena is stirring. He gathers his pack Elias, Simon sand Xavier to let them know he’s found their one.

Alena is struggling to believe that this pack are different but in her heart she knows.
Can they keep her safe from her past? Will Alena let her walls down to accept what this pack wants to give her?
This book will give the feels. Alena has been through a lot and deserves all the knotty goodness that comes her way.
The love and devotion shown by her pack was really sweet and heartwarming.

*Only thing that kept this from being a 5 star rating was the excessive use of giggle, giggles and giggled.

Perfectly Knot is a sweet, fast burn omegaverse romance. It’s a standalone but introduces characters that will star in subsequent books.

After escaping from her abusive ex to across the country, Alena is excited to start a new job and finally get a chance to discover herself. Julian, Xavier, Elias, and Simon run an extremely successful company, but are starting to drift apart as a pack until they meet Alena. This is definitely more of an insta-love/lust story, but over the course of the book they all develop a real meaningful relationship together.

I really enjoyed this story and it made for the perfect, relaxing Saturday afternoon read! If you are a fan of omegaverse books then I would definitely recommend checking this one out! I also think it would make the perfect beach read!

Alena (FMC) starts a new job after years of suffering abuse at the hands of her so called Alpha fiance causing her to go on the run and bringing here here to her new start. Shes not only traumatized by those events but that gave her a hell of a lot of inner strength especially in this environment of Alphas, Betas and Omega's. Having known only abusive Alphas in her life meeting the guys - Alphas Simon, Elias, Xavier and Beta - Julian who are a breath of fresh air by being warm, caring and protective. I loved their relationship with Alena that made the book for me. This was a cracking read. Bring on book 2 now

I loved this book. Alena's guys are just the best I loved how they where protective from the very start. The story build on this book was great and will make a great series.

Alena is an abused omega who was able to runaway with the help of a secret organization and they also help her get a job. Its at this new job where she meets her 4 guys Simon, Xavier, Elias, and Julian. They help her heal from her past trauma while she also helps them.

I really enjoyed this book and definitely recommend it.

I received an advance review copy of this book for my voluntarily and honest review.

What a sweet romance book! Coming from society makes Alena skittish. Wanting a new life she's given a small stipend and a place to go. Soon she finds a job. On her first day she meets the boss who is a beta. He quickly knows she is their one even though he can't tell. So he tells the three alphas he wants to share a secretary between the four of them. They quickly are falling for the alluring omega. However they all have scars but Elias. What happens when the past comes haunting you? Will the pack still be knights in shining armour?

Idk this one just wasn’t for me, but it wasn’t bad. I think maybe it was the writing style? It was weirdly formal and kind of repetitive and I found myself wishing the story along.

I also found myself missing the mating bonds like you normally get in an omegaverse and this book used the word “slick” 51 times and it was 51 times too many.

I liked the idea behind this one, and I liked the characters, but there was just something about it that didn’t work for me and so it falls into the “meh” column.

Talk about off the chart hot!! I just loved this book. It was a smooth easy read. Once I started i couldn't put it down. Alena and her men are such a great mixture. I love the dynamics between them. They are perfect for each other. I love how the guys take a broken omega and turn her into a treasured princess. I really loved and enjoyed this book. I will definitely be reading the next book in the series!!!

Oh wow, I really loved this book. Alena is an amazing Omega who went thru so much abuse from her previous Ex-Fiance Dylan. She's rescued and starts a job at a huge corporation where she meets her mates Xavier the protective Alpha who is an expert on tech and knives. Simon the hot as hell Alpha, Elias the strong and silent Alpha and Julian the sweet loving Beta. Together they show Alena what an Omega should truly be treated like and become one big happy pack.

Who would of though that I'll enjoy omega troupes. I loved how protective Alena's harem was from the very beginning. The dynamic between them was amazing. With the added mystery, intrigue, suspense, and steamy romance made for a helluva read. Looking forward to the next book in this universe. As always my reviews are totally voluntarily and no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are completely my own.
