Love Me Knot #1

Knotless Part 1

Rate this book
She's adored by the whole world. The press loves her, my family prefers her, and even my ex-boyfriend wants her.

Her name is Chloé, the hottest Omega in town. She’s also my baby sister...

Me? Well, I’m the boring sister. The ice maiden who never smiles. Because what pack wants a beta as a mate? Next to her, I’m invisible and it hurts because all I've ever wanted was to be an Omega.

Yet it seems my luck changes when I meet Alexander, Jake, Ezra, and Henry. Pack Fontaine looks at me differently. They make me feel special and wanted like never before. Best of all, they see me for me. A beta.

Cinderella’s stepsister can find her own happy ending too, right? I've never stopped believing because miracles can come true.

Could that be why I perfume whenever I’m near them?

DNF at 20%.
I don’t usually write lengthy reviews, but I just felt like this had a lot of issues. Also I feel a bit bad giving it one star without an explanation.
I know what you’re thinking—but you only made it 20% through! That’s not fair to rate it!
My rating, my rules. And from my experience it was plenty.

I’ve never read anything from Violet Fox before, so I went into this blind. I saw the book advertised in a reader group and I was excited by the concept. I love omegaverse books that are about betas versus omegas or alphas. Lola and the Millionaires is a favourite of mine. Add in that it’s multi-POV and labelled as sweet heat? Yes, please. I love sweet, fluffy books.

As of the 20% mark, it was fluffy. It was sweet. Almost painfully so. One of the MMCs is already head over heels for the FMC, Renee, after their first interaction. As soon as we get Jake’s POV he’s thinking how perfect she is, how she’s “not like other girls TM,” 🙄 and how he’s so over screwing brainless, one night stands because she exists.
Now don’t get me wrong, I like a dedicated, loving MMC. I’m not into the angst and drama by any means, but this was so ridiculously fast. There’s zero relationship development. They meet, talk about aliens which is just so wacky (what girl ever talks about aliens, they’re all too busy doing their hair, amirite?) and he’s in love.

I could probably get past the instalove situation, if not for Renee’s personality totally shifting from page to page. I get that people are layered. I get that they may have trauma in their past that causes their personality to flip-flop at times. But I never once felt I had a definitive grip on Renee’s personality.
We are told that she’s a wallflower. That she’s insecure, no one sees her, she’s been hurt and is therefore super guarded. Her only real purpose in life is to protect her naive, perfect little sister. We get told this multiple times in different ways. But none of this is shown.

Example 1:
Renee inner monologues about how plain she is and how she’s insecure because her body is not model-thin a few times (she’s a size 6, people). We are told she is more comfortable in jeans and baggy T-shirts.
At one point she says,
“I go to the gym regularly and I even do lunges.
[side note, are lunges somehow impressive and I missed it?]
So I’m pretty toned right now. But I will never be a twiglet like Chloé. I have hip dips while she has a gap between her thighs.”

Shortly after, Chloe convinces Renee to wear revealing clothing and she is suddenly very confident, accepting that the “bubble butt” she’s always hated looks good and “curves and a big butt are hot right now.”
Fine, it’s great to be confident. When I look good I feel more confident, too. I could let this shifting perception of herself go, except her priorities are suddenly totally different, too.

Example 2:
We are told Renee guards her sister like a princess in a tower because Chloe is so sheltered. We are told that Renee has to be careful about her and Chloe’s reputations so as not to sully the family brand… but then she leaves Chloe wasted in a club in order to go home with some dude. Sure, Chloe gave her the “okay” and had a bodyguard and guy friend there with her. But ditching her precious baby sis to go get laid hardly seems like Renee is a concerned, protective older sibling. Especially as she notes how Alphas are always sniffing around Chloe and she needs to be extra cautious now Chloe’s omega has debuted.

Example 3:
We are told Renee has been badly hurt and has a wall up to guard herself. But then she goes home with Jake, a total stranger, and I assume has sex with him. That wasn’t 100% clear because after detailing a car scene where she’s being fingered, the author goes on to write they “did it in the elevator” and “did it all over the hotel room.”
What is the “it”? Non-descriptive off the page sex, I guess. I’m not entirely sure.

The next day when Renee finds out Jake writes for a notorious gossip magazine, she is nervous for half a second before he tells her their night together was “real.” Completely reassured she thinks, “I know I can trust him. I see it in his eyes.”
Oh…okay then? That was easy. I thought you were guarded and careful with your heart? After this exchange they do officially have on-page sex. The scene is meh.

Example 4:
We are told Renee watches Marc and Chloe dancing together and thinks, “They look like a pair of sluts.”
What? How shitty! Especially because later she’s grinding up against a total stranger, getting fingered in a cab with the cab driver present, and maybe having sex in an elevator (whatever “it” is). There’s nothing wrong with women being sexual, but it’s super hypocritical to think something like that and then behave as she did.

Other than the story, there were issues with grammar and consistency. The sentence structure along with the tense used throughout the book are clunky and awkward. Often times “, and…” is used in a way that stunts the flow of the paragraph. It feels stilted and a bit robotic.

“She passed all her behavioral tests, and the trainer gave her a perfect score.
Sasha is definitely fit for adoption.
The Alpha kneels down, giving Sasha some sweet baby talk, and it appears he’s only tough on the outside. The guy is a big softie for dogs.
Well, that makes him good in my books.
“Hey, there, girl...”
He presents his fingers to her, and she licks them through the bars. She even places her leg through the door, putting her paw in his large hand, and his fingers swallow it up.
The Alpha rubs her paw affectionately with his thumb, and the two share a tender moment.”

Other small things from the top of my head:
- Marc is written as “Mark,” once
- A dog is described as purring
- In Jake’s POV he somehow knows Marc’s name even though he’s never introduced to him
- Ezra comments he’s finally financially stable enough to have a pet, even though he is a recognisable model living in a mansion as a part of an affluent pack. Maybe this is explained later, idk.

I liked the idea of this book. I really wanted to like this book. I think Fox has a knack for writing; her characters have some funny quips and the overall plot has promise. But it lacks finesse and just didn’t deliver for me, personally. Others will probably like it for its sweetness.

this author has body image problems

Normally, I don’t give 1 star unless the writing is seriously bad and a re edit is in order. This is not the case with this story. What I have an issue with, and I’m understating this because I am very very angry with this author, is her approach to body size. Her main character is a size 6. 6!!!!!!! A tiny sized heroine who complains that she’s ‘curvy’ ‘big hipped’ ‘big butt’ all through the darn book! I don’t know what universe this author is from but a size 6 is NOT curvy. In fact, she’s insultingly repetitive through out the entire story. I randomly opened pages and too many times to count, the FMC is complaining or excusing her ‘large’ size. I’m sorry, but if you are shaming size 6’s you are doing more harm than good. You should have made your FMC a size 18 or 20. Those are curvy sizes, not a freaking size 6. I am 5’4 and slim so I’m petit, but a size 6 for me would be unattainable unless I had an eating disorder. I was so ticked off I didn’t finish the book. Shame on you Violet, you could have done better than this.

Oh boy. Okay. This book as Advertised steamy no drama omegaverse. ✔️

The entire book all we read about is how Renee isn’t like other girls. Shes BETTER. She’s wears jeans and tshirts. She talks about aliens. Doesn’t care about climbing the social ladder. Volunteers at the shelter.” Wow. wow. Renee, save some of the men for the rest of us.

There’s a lot of body dysmorphia, body shaming, insecurities. Everything was repetitive. Every guy commented on how Renee was different & how much better she was than Chloe. Renee commented how different she was. They all commented on how pretty Chloe was. how she was obnoxious. how innocent she was. Over and over again. every single character throughout the whole book!

I didn’t hate any of the men. But it’s insta love. He thinks she’s the one after the first date.

2⭐️ because it was written and edited well, but I won’t be reading the next one.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️.5/5
Spice: 🌶️.5/5
MFC: She’s a bit wishy washy for me right now.
MMC(s): they’re alright.
Plot: 3/5
Book cover: 4/5
Would I buy a physical copy?: We’ll see how the duet goes.

I hated her sister right from the get-go and knewww she was going to cause some shit. Not because she was described as perfect, but some of the comments she would make towards Reneè about the way she dresses was annoying. Also, I’m going to say Aaron (the ex bf) is behind that cliffy.

I feel like I don’t pay attention to ‘fashion’ sizes anymore because… are we considering a size 6 plus size these days? I ask because the overall tone to me was that Reneè is a plus size character or at least bigger than what a size 6 would be. Or are we suppose to think she has body dysmorphia, which would sort of explain the descriptions?

Reneè was incredibly wishywashy. One minute she was a ‘wallflower’, acts like a fool in front of Alex, then she’s going to a hotel room with Jake, then judging her sister for partying and dancing. Also, why did she feel like it was a invasion of privacy to let the pack members know she met 3/4 of them?? I don’t quite know what to make of her.

There was no real relationship building with any of the guys, even though she seemed to spend most of her time with Jake but I feel like we don’t see them together a lot? ALSO, if her omega came out because of scent matching… why didn’t Jake’s alpha??

Henry was a irritating. He is clearly still obsessed with his ex, I mean he spent most of the time talking about how much he ‘hates’ her, watches one of her movies with everyone (that was cringey) and still keeps up to date on what she’s doing. Yet had the hardest time during Reneè’s heat?

The spice was a bit boring, including the heat scene. I expected more.

Not too bad but not good

I couldn't finish the book, it just kept getting worse with the repetitive comments about how she was hurt before or that she's rich but volunteers at a shelter because she's such a sweet soul. I just couldn't do it, I think the last straw was when Ezra called Renee "Shelter girl" and then proceeded to say "that's what you'll always be to me".. In a moment where it was supposed to be hot! There were a few other things, comments made that didn't make since or felt more biased I guess like how somehow all the guys had dated many pretty girls and they were just that. Only pretty no brains or personality, Ezra called himself an idiot bc he was simply a model, like a model couldn't possibly know anything about biology. And then one of the main things was the constant reminder that she's just a beta, her sisters a hot omega and she was FREAKING HURT BY SOME GUY SHE DATED!!..I'm fine.

DNF at 40% for the blatant misogyny.

I’m fine with a character with insecurities. I’m fine with character flaws because it allows them room to grow, but this isn’t that.
She’s not insecure, she’s jealous and bitter. She’s a pick-me “I’m not like the other girls” type.
And the reason? Because one boyfriend 4 years ago was a jack*ss.
It doesn’t compute. The internal and external misogyny was disgusting. I gave it until 40% because I was hoping it wouldn’t continue and it would just be a scene or two, but that wasn’t the case.
The men in this story are constantly generalizing women as shallow or vindictive.
This is catty and disgusting. The women are constantly being compared. There is an underlying theme of purity culture except of course if you’re a man.
I’m willing to set aside my feminism for a good book plot, but this was just openly women hating word vomit.

When the blurb make her out to have really low selfworth/esteem because her sister gets all the attention, i really wish the author made that more obvious in the book? Because I just felt like she was jealous of her sister for being an omega, but her sister, friends and family all loved her and showed her that, and she knew she was worth more than her designation.
So the fact that this was more of a ugly duckling-story than a cinderella story.
Also, I kinda hated that she revealed as an omega, because why couldnt she just learn to love herself and be loved as an beta, more like lola and the billionaires?

And lastly, I would know that she loved dogs and voluntereed without it being repeated every second page……

Please find an editor!!!

This book has so much potential. But telling vs showing, financial head scratchers, bad grammar, and other oddities, make this a very difficult book to enjoy.

I DNF’d it at 32% because I couldn’t deal with it anymore. If it gets edited and the issues are fixed, I will gladly read it again.

Rating: 2.5/5 ⭐️
Spice: 1/5 🌶️

Oh boy.

The book started off with an author’s note about giving Renée, the fmc, a chance to grow into her own after living in her sister’s shadow for most of her life and I was like ‘perfect, love character growth!’. By the time I reached the last page, I am not sure that development happened at all.

Some of the ‘issues’ I had while reading
• Repetitive information: Renée is protective of Chloé, gotcha. Please don’t keep repeating that in the same chapter. Same case for Alex with his sister Judith. Both during the same omega debut event. Happens a lot throughout the book.
• The ‘she is not like other girls’ trope. ‘She volunteers at an animal shelter, that is why she is perfect.’ 😬
• She got her heart broken by her ex, who wanted her sister in reality. That is played out as the reason as to why she has trust issues with men. However, when she has a ‘closure talk’ with the ex, she says they had been too young when they dated and didn’t actually love each other. Girl, please???
• Besides the first meeting with each man of the pack, there is ZERO interaction between her and Alex, Ezra and Henry until the fun fair, which happened after Jake suddenly told them he is okay with them wanting her as well.
• Alex is 35 and Henry, 33. Renée is 24. So adults all around. However, I felt the book would be more fitting if it happened during school years.

I gave the extra .5 for the giggles I had at some of Renée’s thoughts as I found them funny.

The couple: Alexander/Jake/Ezra/Henry and Renee

Romance trope: omegaverse; rh
Series: Love Me Knot
Length: 307 pages

Plot: Renee is a beta, and is mostly content. She has her nascent career as a pet artist, her volunteer work, and her familial duty as a beta older sister to society's current darling, her Omega little sister. If she's a little bitter and a little jealous, well, who wouldn't be? But when she starts meeting a charismatic pack of alphas who don't seem to mind that she's a beta, and when they prefer her to her flighty sister, things start looking up.

Commentary: I absolutely don't mind the change from beta to omega - prefer that, in fact. I don't want to have to deal with workarounds in the relationships because she's not an omega. However, the personality shift was a bit disconcerting. We get this whiff of disdain and condescension for most of the story, but when Renee becomes an omega, all of a sudden she's vain and flighty and bratty and we're supposed to accept it because that's just how omegas are. It isn't flattering. I couldn't see the attraction before or after, though. Renee was so broken over a jerky boyfriend from four years prior and every member of the pack noticed her brokenness and seemed to be attracted to her because of that. The ex liked her sister more. And four years later she's still suffering from intense self-esteem issues.

Next book in the series: Knotless Part 2

Keeps her safe…

Renée’s little sister is the worlds darling omega and as a beta Renée has stayed in the shadows. She makes sure her sister is taken care of since their mother passed away and their father is barely ever home.
Renée has had her heart broken and is leery about men until she meets the Beta Jake. He sweeps her off her feet and brings her around his pack.
Ezra, Henry and Alexander are all alphas but they are all drawn to the beta. Jake gives them his permission to pursue her if that is what she wants. But something changes and they are more then happy to help Renée out.

This was a steamy, angsty and twisty story and it does end on a cliffhanger.
Renée has failed to keep her sister safe and now someone is demanding money for her return. Something smells fishy and makes me wonder who may be behind it.

it’s fine

I really liked the characters. Renée and her pack are the cutest and I loved getting to know all of them. I really liked Chloè at the start but then she started to spiral and honestly outing her sister was the final straw. Marc really grew on me. It’s crazy that he abduction is somehow Renée’s responsibility. Where’s the dad? Where are the bodyguards?

Like write your book how you want - but we’ve all decided how a heat goes and this isn’t it. She’s lucid? She’s speaking in full sentences? She’s eating?

I could not care less about them getting Chloè back - the only reason to read part two is to see Renée get her bond marks

I very nearly DNF’d this book. Violet Fox is a very hit or miss author for me I’m finding.

For this book, the MFC just came across as whiney to me. She was also a very contradictory character, which is fine but it just felt very bland. She was jealous of her sister (who was narcissistic even though we kept getting told that she was lovely), kept saying ‘I’m ugly’ and then in the next breath saying ‘I’m not ugly, just compared to my sister’. The back and forth between it was headache inducing and I didn’t really feel like there was any growth. The other thing, is it felt a little ‘beta’ shaming, like there was something wrong with it.

The main love interests were the same, I just didn’t feel as if there was any chemistry there and again, they all have their own backstories which again felt off and boring.

The book ends on a cliffhanger but I don’t think I’ll be finishing this series, I really didn’t enjoy it which is a shame as I was looking forward to it.

Pity Party

This is such a cute idea for a sweet omegaverse romance, and the author provides some genuinely humorous moments, but, unless you love long self pitying inner monologues from more than one character and endless repetition, then this might not be the right book for you. Additionally, I wasn't feeling the romance or connection between Poor Renee and any of the guys. I didn't care for the way Renee and Henry talked about their exes, or the way Renee talked about her sister. To be honest, I didn't really like Renee. She is judgmental and condescending when she is not totally self absorbed in her personal pity parties.

- the FMC is grossly inconsistent in her characterization (one moment she’s insecure and awkward and then all of a sudden she’s the complete opposite out of nowhere)
- “wow, she’s not like all the other girls”😑

came for the vibes, was disappointed by the sexism

I enjoy a good ABO RH, and I don’t need all of them to be the next great American novel—sometimes it’s for the vibes!! This one was a struggle for me though. The literal use of “not like other girls” to repeatedly describe the FMC is a good place to start. I do NOT vibe with tearing other women down—and the bulk of this book relies on just that, even when it pretends it’s “not judging”. The FMC is “more intelligent”…because she has “intelligent” eyes? And doesn’t like sparkles? She acts like she doesn’t want attention and pampering, but internally seems to covet nothing more than that. While the MMCs and FMC constantly degrade other women for being shallow, the FMC proves to be one of the most shallow. She acts like she would never abuse her fame/fortune but envies anyone who does and wishes to do so herself. In one scene, one of the MMCs tells the FMC she’s “way hotter” than her sister, which the FMC is pleased to hear, later her ex calls her sister a dumb blonde. ARE YOU KIDDING. If a man (or anyone) said that about my sister he’d be pushing daisies; but worse, the FMC doesn’t defend her sister at all. She’s her sister’s harshest critic. The poor sister gets the shaft throughout. At the beginning the FMC envies her sister for being so good and sweet, then she starts shaming her for going out and dating someone and dressing more revealing. Leave the kid alone!! The MMCs frequently compare the FMC to her sister (putting her sister down) to make her feel better and it’s just not it for me. That’s some shallow imitation of self esteem if it’s built on making fun of other women’s looks. All of the women who aren’t the FMC (even her sister, who is loving and nice to the FMC) are treated as villains. It’s just not necessary!! If you write a fully fleshed out and interesting main character, you don’t have to prove the MMCs find her enthralling by making them hate all other women. Just sad to see this kind of writing from female writers constantly. Will always call out this kind of writing when I come across it.

I was optimistic and excited for this story, but unfortunately, the writing wasn't up to my standards, so I'm going to make an honest review about the writing style.

The story concept was good. It was just the execution that was disappointing.

Every time her dad was mentioned, there would be paragraphs explaining and repeating their whole relationship, which also included contradictions. Like "he was a great father but he was always disappointed, and put me in charge, and was never around, and had high expectations, and I was the one responsible for my sister . . . But he was a great father. " And having that contradiction once was bad, but having it repeated over and over again, in between dialogue when she's even just thinking about her dad, well, that was just getting very difficult to read.

I found myself constantly skimming the internal monologues and description paragraphs, just looking for the dialogue. Which was also sparse. Lots of the exposition could have been revealed through character interactions, but I noticed a lot of inconsistencies with the fmc thinking about something during conversation, and then later the pack knowing it or mentioning it like they talked about that detail, when going back to read it again, it was never written that she talked about it.

I'm not saying the author is bad, I quite liked where the story was going, the spicy scenes were good, and each character had a distinct personality. I definitely think they could have used 1 or 2 more revisions from an editor. When the personal opinions of the fmc were written out over and over again, everytime her sister was mentioned, it felt like a fast read exposition dump, that usually only happens at the very beginning of a story. But the dump was repeating every other chapter.

Also, I might not read part 2, but in case I do later, I'm putting my theory down here, I think the ex-boyfriend took her sister.

I thought this was a debut book and as such my review was going to be mindful of this but it is NOT her first book. And so let the reaping begin. 🫠

I love a sweet, floofy omegaverse story. So when the author shared this in one of my book groups, I jumped on board right away. 👏🏼

Let me start by saying there is plenty of good here and has SO much potential. 🥰 I see what you are doing here Violet.

But it needs more work fleshing out the characters as well as consistency.

Page to page our fmc’s central themes as a character alter. One minute she is sad and insecure, the next she marvels at her giant🙄 size 6 booty in a skin tight dress bc she DOES LUNGES and shit.

It needs massive amounts of editing, beta/alpha readers, & someone to slap the author when she tells us too much and needs to SHOW us. She does this ALOT. 😒

So much so you will likely read more reviews w the same complaints that I have here. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Look, I could go into more details but others here already have. 😝

If you have Kindle Unlimited, it isn’t going to cost you to read this book and support this author.
No skin off your back except for the night you chose to read this. 😉🫥😂😂
But I am just not comfortable w paying money for this book bc there is so much wrong with it. 😭🥴

I understand how much work goes into writing-but authors need to remember the importance of consistency, beta/alpha readers, hiring a good editors as well as “show don’t tell it all”. 🤓
If she has an editor, I want to know who so I can avoid any books they edit like the plague. 🤡

Pretty much all of the characters sucked. I wouldn't say there was one redeeming thing about any of them. Renee is such a Pick-Me girl. She even thinks, "I'm not like other girls" at one point because she hates dressing up and wearing heels and prefers to volunteer at a shelter. She also makes this super judgemental statement at one point about her sister "saving herself" and seems to have a complex about purity. Don't even get me started on the self-body-shaming she does. Like... she's a size 6...

If Renee were the only bad character, I'd be less annoyed, but all of the men suck too! It very clearly reads as if the author is insecure and pushing her own morals and ideals about women (and shaming women) onto all of the characters. Both Henry and Alex say some pretty unkind things about women--claiming them to be shallow and self-absorbed just because they like to look pretty and are skinny. Ezra and Jake are better in that regard, but both feel extremely empty. The romance also felt forced and dead. The chemistry between the characters was nonexistent--even Jake fell flat after the initial scene with him.

This story was pretty underwhelming to be quite frank. It felt a lot longer than it actually was. I had to keep checking the page count because I was positive this book had to be over 500 pages…it’s not even close.

The plot drags throughout most of the book. We barely get any relationship development. We get entirely too much Chloé (the sister). That girl gets on my nerves so badly. I don’t like those social media influencers in real life, but to read about this naïve, vain, self indulged brat for almost the entire book was grating. The fact that our FMC feels like it’s her job to babysit her sister is stupid. The fact that her dad holds FMC responsible for her sister’s actions is nauseating. I just don’t have the patience for this kind of tripe. It’s all so superficial.

There is a moderate amount of steam. FMC goes into heat as well. I just didn’t get any emotions from the romance. There is a distinct disconnect between me and the main characters, even if I do like them. I think I’ll give the next book in this duet a shot, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to finish it.

I wanted to like this book, but I just couldn't seem to. It started OK, but there was a record scratch moment when it was mentioned that FMC was fat as a size 6. That majorly derailed so much, that I knew I was in for a bumpy ride. As it is, I only got to 32% before I just had to shelve this one as DNF. I just couldn't do it any more.

The writing was just awful. It was so repetitive. How many times do you have to tell us that she is not like other girls?
Then, as she met each of the guys, each one of them immediately could somehow tell that she had been hurt before. Every. Single. One. Each of the guys were the same. There was so little to set them apart from each other, other than their job.

There was no chemistry anywhere that I could feel. The spice between them (just Jake, that's as far as I could stand) was bland at best. I couldn't even bring myself to skim through the story, as the writing itself was just bad.
You can't lament that you'll never find love or have anyone when you are literally dating someone, and flirting with the whole pack.

I don't see myself ever picking this back up, ever.

A bit repetitive

This is a really decent story. The plot was good, the characters developed woth clear & distinct POV’s.

I think the main issue is that it’s so repetitive. In the foreward the author warned that the fmc was self depreciating and that it might be a lot, but she actually isn’t.

It’s just that she constitently is over thinking about the same three things. That she has to watch out for her sister, that she’s been hurt before, and that she’s a beta. And she tells the same retelling about her childhood. “i still remember when my dad struggled to put food on the table” came up multiple times.

And then, every male character that gets a POV says the same thing “she looks like she’s been hurt”. It’s overkill.

Have one character mention that she looks like she’s been hurt and then don’t mention it again.

If Renne’s character expressed her feelings over certain things opposed to constantly restating the issues that plagued her this story would read better.

Absolute rubbish

I gave up halfway. in a word, trite.

The premise of this story is
- FMC is nursing a broken heart for 3yrs because the boyfriend dumped her because he had the hots for her younger sister who is 17/18... the age changes. She can't even get this right

The author continues this angst, while the FMC is dating and after she has "fallen in love with the beta in the pack".
Then the ex comes back and is all apologetic and regretful. And Author writes from the FMC pov that "it was so long ago, they were young and neither of them were in love anyway".

The story is just over dramatised repeated and reworded a single theme. "Woe is me"

If you are dating a guy and he prefers anyone else more than you then you absolutely want the guy to break up with you. It's the honourable thing to do. Hopefully he can do it with honesty and empathy.

The FMC needs to spend more time on her own life than resenting her sisters.

Total garbage. I won't be buying this author again.

Did this story need to be broken up in 2 books? No.

This was ok. A lot of chapters about nothing. I love Omegaverse books because you get to see a bunch of Alphas (and Betas) tripping over themselves to please their Omega. Sadly, this book did not give the readers this pack dynamic.

The author could’ve cut so many chapters about mundane secondary, tertiary, even quaternary plot lines. Some plot lines didn’t even pan out and made no difference to the story.

This book did end on a cliffhanger but if you don’t care about the sister’s story or the ridiculous ex plot line, you’re fine to end here.

Rating: 🪻🪻(2⭐️)

Spice: 🌶️🌶️ (praise, breeding, 🪢, exhibition, voyeurism, dirty talk, 🍑play)

T/W: bullying (on page, think keyboard warriors), parent death (reference, in past), harassment (on page, not main characters), ageism (on page)

repetitive

I liked this book, I liked the characters, I just wished to have more details regarding the characters. It was all very generic, there was no real build up of Renee relationship with the pack and some scenes were just ‘told’ not actually ‘described’. I felt like I knew the dog more then I did the guys. The dog was just in it too much. Also it was so repetitive, the characters were constantly thinking the same thoughts chapter after chapter. I got so fed up with Renee describing the way her sister looks. I started skipping through her chapters. I get it already, don’t need to hear it every other page. It would have been nice to see a conversation of some kind between her and Jake regarding letting the rest of the pack ‘court her’ and opening up their relationship to the pack.

Knotless: Confessions of a Beta, Part One by Violet Fox is a sweet, spicy Omegaverse book. We meet Renee, a Beta, who is the invisible sister of a beautiful, young Omega who is just debuting. Renee meets Jake, a Beta, and they fall for each other instantly. Renee meets Jake's pack and slowly start to feel at home with Pack Fontaine. I really enjoyed watching Renee come into her own, overcome her self esteem issues, and letting herself be loved by Pack Fontaine. I can't decide if I like the sister or not. I liked her in the beginning - but she's just not a very good sister like Renee is. But that's the point of a good book - I'm sure in part two I will love her again. No bullying. No cheating. I love Pack Fontaine and Renee. Looking forward to part two!

This was such a cute, sweet story. I read it in one sitting, not able to put it down.
This book is for all the betas out there that just want to live the life of a omega.
We meet Renée, who is the typical beta, but has a lovely omega sister, Chloé. Renée loves her sister dearly, but there are times that she wishes she was an omega too, but she has accepted that she is a beta - even though deep down it hurts. Renée meets Pack Fountaine and they help her realize; she is worthy just the way she is. She becomes attached to the pack and realizes that she can be loved as a beta... but, is she really a beta? It was great to read Renée's growth and her personal acceptance.
Only downfall of this book is that it ends on a cliffhanger and now I need to wait to find out what happens next.

Knotless: Love me Knot (Part One) by Violet Fox is a sweet, spicy Omegaverse book. We get to meet a beta named Renee, who is overshadowed by her sister. A young, beautiful Omega that is debuting.
Renee meets Jake, a Beta and they both fall for each other instantly. When Renee meets Jake's pack, she starts to slowly feel at home with them. I really loved watching Renee come into her own, overcome her self esteem issues, and just let herself be loved. I still cannot decide if I like her sister or not. In the beginning, I did like her but she has shown she is not a very good sister. Who knows, maybe in the second book I will like her again. There is no bullying or cheating. I love Pack Fontaine and Renee together! I cannot wait until Book two!!

This one is yet another amazing book where it is centered around Renée and she is supportive of her younger sister. Standing in the shadows. The beta sister, the ugly one sort of speak. When in reality she isn't ugly at all or any of the things but she feels that way none the less because of her ex. He did a number on her. Trying to compare her with her sister. He really wanted Chloé not Renée. But at the presentation of her younger sister she meets Jake. Jake immediately is taken by Renée and not knowing some of his pack members meet her seperately so when she is invited to dinner she already knows a few of the guys. So she fits right in really even though she is a beta. Or is she something else? I really loved it and can't wait to dive in book 2 so expect a review on that soon.
