Pack Origins #1
Knot Your Princess
Maia wants no part of her role as an obedient princess at the Omega Palace, refusing to submit to a society that takes away her choices and rights. She’s a rarity amongst the rare, the only omega who can deny a dominant alpha.
When the Crash comes, the country descends into chaos, and Maia seizes her chance to escape. On the run, exhausted and alone, she glimpses hope through a gated fence. The people she finds inside challenge everything she knows about alphas and omegas.
Damon, Hunter, and Leif are three gorgeous, dangerous alphas who have shunned society. Together, with their best-friend Max, they have learned to hold each other’s broken pieces together. But when Maia is hunted, bonds are tested.
Do they dare face their demons and become a pack in a corrupt world that forbids it? Can they tear their crumbling world down and build a new one out of the rubble?
Knot Your Princess is a sweet, reverse harem, omegaverse romance. It features growly, protective alphas, a hot, nerdy beta, and a rebellious omega. Maia’s story will be completed in book one and can be read as a standalone. Books two and three will focus on new packs and continue the background story of the Crash.
The story is written with multiple POVs and contains MMFMM steamy scenes, including a MM relationship. It also references past abuse, but there is no current abuse or abuse within the harem.

I loved the premise of the plot. The idea of a dystopian omegaverse has been done before but this author set the stage well. I liked how Maia found her way to the guys at the farm. All of that kept my interest well.
The middle from about 35% to 60% was where this lost me. There's always a mean girl. Sirena wasn't likeable but the way Damon handled embarrassing her in front of others didn't sit well for me. I think when a new woman appears how will he handle telling you he's done? You'll be the poor fool who thought you had more.
The interaction wasn't necessary and it soured my focus on the story. He thought that woman was good enough to be intimate with but then he's done and too good for her. His holier than thou attitude didn't help.
I don't like that message. The woman is made to be the slut while the man gets off free and clear while making her out to be a mistake.
Some of the sex scenes were hot a couple seemed formulatic. Overall not a bad omegaverse for a first time author. I'd give this 3.5 stars and will try this author again.

Maybe I'm just in a book funk or maybe I'm just getting burned out on RHOVs but this was just "meh" for me. It took me days to read because I kept just putting it down when it wasn't holding my attention.

So, I really enjoyed this book.
The dynamic between all the characters was lovely.
I really liked the bonding and sharing and getting to know each other that happened throughout most of it.
The characters were all super lovable.
The sex was hot and passionate and perfectly smutty.
The plot and setting were really cool.
There was a tiny bit of OW drama with an ex fling that lives on the property, but it was immediately shut down and handled so well it didn’t really even register much as drama. It was just her trying to get more from the guys than they were willing to give, and they respectfully told her to fuck off about it. So I actually really liked that. It showed the guys’ character. They were all frustrated and angry to be put in that position, but acted so calmly and gracefully, I’m glad it was included honestly. Plus it had a purpose for the book so it made sense.
There was also a lot of talk about past abuse. From basically every character we encounter. Nothing on page, but things are hinted at and remembered. Like I said, it happened off page, and what’s more, if I remember correctly, no true details were actually given, just vague overview really.
So check TWs and be mindful, but it’s really not as bad as it could’ve been.
Even the big battle at the end was pretty quick and had limited violence.
Though, thankfully, still came across as dangerous and important, giving me some satisfaction that at least one thing was taken care of in this first book.
Really my only complaint is that the plot seems to be overarching, since nothing got truly answered or fixed in any meaningful way.
And that includes the character that popped up at the end that we got no explanation for, and very little interaction with.
I can only conclude that the next book in this series will be about them and the author didn’t want to spill the beans too soon, so that she could give it its own special moment.
Which I totally get.
I’m just disappointed we don’t get more information about everything that’s not part of the pack featured in this book.
Still.
It was entertaining, certainly engrossing. I couldn’t put it down once I picked it up. I just kept turning pages, hoping for more information about the Crash, and Maia’s unique ability to resist alpha barks, and basically everything else.
Instead, we got a really heartwarming love story with tiny hints and small details here and there about all that.
So, to say I’m looking forward to the next book in the series would be an understatement.
I need answers, dammit.
She’s got me.
The author’s plot to draw you into reading more worked.
I will now be constantly on the lookout for the next release.

I wanted to like this so much more than I did. I liked the take on the omega verse trope, but the story had too many loose ends or limited descriptions that left me feeling like I missed something. Some of the characters (Sirena) did a 180 really quickly that felt too much like a plug for a plot point hole. The group of alphas was really sweet, but as a whole none of the characters felt fully fleshed out.

DNF @ 26%
Let’s start with this: the phrase “sexy times” was used unironically and that’s the exact point at which I bailed out.
The tense switching is real, real bad in this one. Every other sentence switches between present and past tense at random. The quotation mark convention switches between double and single quotes. On one page, a first-person narrator seems aware that a character is an omega, and then on the next page, he’s shocked by the revelation. All this to say: No edit, only publish!
The narrator meets one (1) other woman and immediately pegs her as a mean girl and starts trashing her clothes and voice and saying how she’d like to claw her eyes out (!?) and this is while she [narrator] is covered in filth, starving, and in the midst of being offered a safe haven. WTF, FMC? Control yourself! At least wait until the mean girl starts actually throwing slurs. (She immediately calls FMC an S-slur for no discernible reason right after this.) It says a lot about the author that this is how she thinks people talk or behave.
The FMC is an omega who is terrified of alphas and never wants to be mated. She also has a unique ability to resist an alpha bark. Given the post-apocalyptic setting, and the inherent danger of alphas, it makes sense when she meets the MMCs and immediately tries to run away. What doesn’t make sense is that all it takes is one of them saying “you’re my true mate” and then she’s immediately climbing all over him and flirting like a drunken schoolgirl:
WTF am I reading? To reiterate, she doesn’t know him AT ALL, they just met that day, and she is 100% sober and not in heat.
Anyway, you get it. Book needs work. A lot of work.

Fluffy Omegaverse Standalone, all the guys are sweet caring, and protective. But we also have an interesting backstory of the start of an apocalyptic type event that they refer to as The Crash.
November 19, 2022
DNF (did not finish). What made the book unfinishable in your opinion?
At first the story seemed interesting but then I started to loose interests about the 58% mark into the book. The “mean girl” was over the top and everyone tip-toed in disciplining her. I think there were too many elements to the story, and I wish the author would have focused on a couple. There was the “crash” that destroyed their society, somehow all utilities were cut off, and the military disappeared. This self-sufficient farm the MC finds is also a shelter for the abused and a restaurant. Despite the abuse the MC has suffered she seems to just brush it off and get intimate with the alpha/ beta love interests. Then there was the alpha, beta, and omega dynamic as well. Overall, the story was interesting but with so many different story points (many that don’t seem to really add to the story) and characters acting out of the roles they were given, I decided to put the book down.

I loved this book so much, it was exactly what I needed—very spicy with lots of feels.
The premise set the tone of the story right away—the electricity went out and it doesn’t look like it’s coming back on. Maia took the chance to run from the Palace and ends up at the farm of her soon-to-be mates. There was a lot of relationship conflict and resolution between Maia and her four mates. The drama was engaging and not caused by miscommunication!
I loved the guy’s relationships with each other a well; I’m a sucker for positive friendships outside of the romantic relationship. But I also loved the MM relationship within the harem too. The first spicy MMF scene was super hot!
I really appreciate when characters recognize their own fears and actively try to work through them, which Maia did in this book.
I laughed out loud at once scene about 3/4 of the way through the book. It was so risky/stupid, yet so sweet at the same time. It was fabulous.
I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for the next book, and I hope we find out what happened with the electricity in the next book!

I really liked the dystopian setting in this book. Maia is an omega and a reluctant resident of the Omega Palace, a place where rich Alphas can go to and pick an omega of their own. When the Crash happens and electricity is lost, Maia sees her chance and escapes the facility. As the world is slowly descending into chaos, who can she trust on her way to her friends uncle's farm? Tired and hungry, she is found by a kind beta in front of a farm co-owned by four men: Damon, Hunter, Leif and Max. The men quickly realize they are drawn to her but it's not all sunshine and roses since someone else wants Maia too.
I think the world was so well done and it was easy to fall into the dystopian world. My heart immediately felt for Maia and I liked her a lot. She was a little naive and foolish, but considering her upbringing, it made sense. I also liked how she wasn't buying into the submissive Omega role and was confident that she wanted more than that.
The men were delicious and I liked how different they were of one another. I think my favorite was Max, but all the men stole a little piece of my heart as they struggled with the sense of responsibility, the new developments in both their relationship with each other and Maia as well as learning more about being Alphas, Betas and being a pack.
I'm curious to see where the world goes next, especially with Lexie and Maia's brother Sam as that was teased in this book.

Ugh. This book was so frustrating because it had so much wasted potential. I really loved the world and what was happening in it. I liked the MMCs. But the MFC’s character gave me whiplash and the writing was a little painful the more the story went on. A lot of tell and not show. And not enough inner monologue to connect with characters.

fantastic
For a first book, this was effing amazing. I love the dynamic between all of the alphas, the beta, and their slightly reluctant Omega. I absolutely cannot wait to read more from this author and I sincerely hope she keeps on doing what she’s doing because gawddang, this was a home run.

The story recounts Maia trying to escape from the omega palace, where she is meant to serve rowan. She stumbles across a farm and gets rescued by 4 guys who she falls for. I loved the hints of strong female empowerment and the importance of female friendship Maia found in Lexie.

I was so excited about this premise, omegaverse meets dystopian, yes please. Execution & writing just flopped for me, I got about 20% in hoping it would get better; it did not. The FMC starts out as survivor type character I could get behind, but suddenly does an unbelievable 180. The alphas monologues are written almost as if they are in a female mind frame (yes I get the author is undoubtably a woman, however I have
seen many other female authors fleshing out a male mind without this issue.) The way the alphas describe others & their surroundings makes it hard to get invested in them as the MMCs and is interchangeable with the FMC. The writing doesn’t have a lot of depth. The phrasing of the sentencing is odd as well, it presents as a character being done ‘speaking’ due to the punctuation however in the next paragraph a sentence that your realize is their continued speech picks back up so it’s hard to follow. Hate to say I couldn’t get to the first spicy scene. Still looking for a book with this premise but well executed!

Dnf 27% . Girl what tf was this?? They were all literally acting like teens?? When I read the first couple of pages I got confused as hell cause I thought this was YA book. But nope. Maia is such a pick me broo. Omg . She was literally a “not like the other girls” personification. I really tried to continue reading but I just couldnt. It was too cringey. She was wishy washy as fuck too? Like you only met these guys for literally 20-30mins? And suddenly its all heart eyes. What happened to the fuck alphas energy?? I needed the hate and the roughness! Not that! Also the was she was calling that girl a skank and judging her by her looks then getting offended when does the same thing back?!? LIKE GIRLY??? You did it too??? yeah she was a bitch and all but damn at least try not to be judgemental before talking to the girl. The boys.. i legitimately though were like 16/17 cause from the way they were talking and moving?? Didnt feel like they were retired from the military like it was described. Everything here just gave me the ick EXCEPT FOR BEAR. Hes the one saving this. The idea was literally theree. The execution just ruined this. The world building was kinda weird.Some of the parts were a bit confusing cause at first I thought oh! Midievel vibes but then boom - computers and cameras. i mean it wasnt bad just weird.

I really wanted to like this book. Unfortunately the whole thing fell short of my desires.
The beginning was good but the story was not unique in any way. It was extremely predictable. The level of omegaverse steam was pretty low. Not enough to save this book. It was pretty basic and uninteresting.
The middle started to slog with a lot of blah blah blah and the characters started to annoy me with overly juvenile dialog “dude”. All the teenage boy back slapping and dumb jokes really just did not fit with a team of military professionals. I’m sure it was to try to show how close they were all connected to each other but it made me roll my eyes. The FMC who started it pretty badass lost all respect with all the “giggling” ugh. I almost DNFd about midway through.
The end picked up a bit. There was some new information that really saved my interest but really should have been introduced earlier and expanded on. Plus a couple twists that were semi twisty but pointless at such a late stage in the story.
I guess there’s room for the next books.
Will I read them? Meh. Maybe if I come across them but I’m not waiting for the next one.

I love omegaverse, and I want to rate this higher, but there are a few things that keep me from being able to.
All the main characters have gone through significant trauma in their lives, and they all get to unpack that a little bit, but overall, it's lip service that no longer affects them when it's inconvenient. It felt way too superficial, and I wanted their pasts to impact their choices and reactions, and make them fully human, but they never really got off the page.
The world building is interesting, but it's all very rough and unfinished. Some pieces of the story don't make sense, and I struggled to suspend my disbelief enough to fully immerse in the world.
I would be interested in reading more in the series if the next books are tighter and lean into character development more.

DNF chapter 19/46% into book.
- I liked Maia up until chapter ten, when Leif brought her back to the cabin. Their interaction was just weird and awkward. From that point her personality did a 180, and she was acting like a boy crazy school girl. Their dialogue was beyond awkward and uncomfortable to read. She acted the same way with Max and Hunter, too.
- The MMC's inner monologues were too fluffy, repetitive, and too long. Their conversations ranged from adolescent boy talk. To girl talk, getting in touch with your feelings and emotions. It just wasn't believable for ex military men, who probably at least in their thirties.
- It felt like the word blushing was on every other page. All the characters were written so immature and juvenile.

All their dialogue was this juvenile, teasing type of banter. It stopped them from having any serious conversation and gave them all the same voice, even though they were supposed to all be different personalities. They each told a little blurb of their tragic back story, so they got one serious conversation each.
Also, after they figure out Damon can control people with his Alpha powers, the bad guy shows up and Maia decides she has to . . . leave to protect Damon? That doesn't make sense. Damon can just control him with telekinesis.

This is a fun loving dystopian omegaverse. I feel like if you have never read omegaverse you wouldn’t be lost because this book gives plenty of explanation. You follow Maia as she escapes from the omega palace. As she escapes sh runs into a farm full of alpha men.

L. A. Clyne is a new author to me, but something about the combination of Omegaverse within a dystopian setting drew me in instantly and the author has grabbed my attention from the beginning of the book with vivid imagery, intriguing plot and diversity of characters.
The world as it once existed with packs and scented matches, is no longer obtainable and most omegas are forced to mate a particular alpha regardless of their feelings and preferences. The concept of treating them as commodity as been on the rise the Palace is the place where omegas are being “educated” into obedience. As the Crash comes upon and all hell breaks loose, the FMC fleets and finds refuge behind the fence of a gated community, which brings more surprises than she could have ever anticipated.
Maia has gone through numerous traumatic experiences, so in a way her connection to the three alphas and the beta was even more prominent, due to the shared understanding of complicated past. I really enjoyed the fact that the author dedicated time to explore each of the main character’s pasts and that significantly contributed towards character growth as the story progressed.
The MMCs were quite lovely from the start and despite some initial hesitations on behalf of one of the alphas, who had his own demons to tackle, the love story itself developed nicely and the dynamic between Maia and the guys was executed in a manner that was paced just right. The concept of a Prime Alpha that has been portrayed here is something that I hope would be further elaborated on in the other books. It appears that there are quite a number of revelations taking place as the agenda behind the Palace seems to me much more sinister than I initially thought.
I really like some of the side characters here, so Lexi’s story would be my next go to book for sure as I would love to find truth behind the entire agenda of those, who brought about the changes and decided to hide the vary nature of pack bonds and genuine soul mates. I reckon that there would some heavy plotting behind it.

Was it perfect? No. Did I enjoy it? So much.
Look, this book is not perfectly written. The author couldn’t seem to decide if the dialogue should be in “” quotes or ‘’ quotes. There were editing errors that were fairly surface level, but a few things that would momentarily take me out of the story. But the story? I truly enjoyed it.
I spent a lot of time thinking that there were certain hallmarks of the omegaverse missing in this story. Heats for example. But then I realized that the society in this story just doesn’t know about certain hallmarks because these omegas have been subjected to so much that their natural instincts are no longer functioning as they would in other more ‘typical’ omegaverse stories. But as Maia gets more comfortable, her instincts begin to bring about those expected moments. Such as her heat. It’s not an idea I’ve read before. I really liked the way it was done.
I loved this entire pack. I loved the immediate fated mates aspect. I loved the way the pack embraced being a pack - you’ll understand what I’m saying when you read it. I loved that Maia didn’t immediately fall into all of their arms. Even though it has a pretty quick timeline, she made each Alpha (and beta) earn her trust. I loved Maia. She’d been through so much but still managed to be tough and soft at the same time. Seeing her come into her own was beautiful.
Overall, I recommend it. If you are able to look past the editing issues…and I know some people are not…you’ll get a story that is actually a darn good example of the subgenre. It’s steamy, it’s interesting, and it’ll pull at your heartstrings. I give it a 5 for the story. It’d be a 3 for the editing if I’m honest, but again, the editing mistakes didn’t take me out of the story much. They were just way too noticeable to not mention.
If you’re a fan of omegaverse romance, you should read this. I immediately dived into book two which I liked even more. Enjoy!
