Knot Their First Rodeo

Knotty Omegas, Book 3

They lost their forever. She never believed in it. Fate had other ideas.

Genesis

Genesis Valentine knows exactly what she wants out of life. As a decorated journalist, she is determined to tell stories that matter and to make a difference in the world. Unfortunately, as an unbonded omega, she's considered a liability in the field. If she wants to take her career to the next level, she has to show her editor that she can get her scent under control. And that means taking on a pack, at least temporarily.

At almost thirty, Genesis should've been bonded years ago, but she refuses to be a slave to societal expectations or even biological needs. She has no interest in being owned by a bunch of alphaholes who would try to control her life and interfere with her plans. So, when she's matched with a temporary pack of widowed alphas who have no intention of mating again, Genesis knows she's found the perfect solution to all her problems. However, when she meets the handsome pack of silver foxes, Genesis quickly realizes she might've gotten more than she bargained for.

Orlando

Orlando Rossi has built a perfect life. His business is wildly successful, and his packmates' artistic and farming ventures are equally impressive. They have a beautiful home and more money than they can spend. Perfect.

Except for the gaping hole where their omega used to be. In the decade since her death, Orlando has done everything he can to get Pack Rossi back on their feet. They've come so far, but he knows something is still missing.

When they take on a smart, feisty temporary omega who smells like heaven, Orlando knows immediately that everything is about to change. Unfortunately, both Genesis and Orlando's packmates are stubborn, strong-willed, and set in their ways. Is it too late to find love again, or will Genesis be the fresh start they didn't know they needed?

Quality

Fairly well developed story that is fairly well written. But with sexy times. I’m not impressed with the story title that doesn’t fit a storyline featuring successful urban characters. The FMC name is pretentious and awkward. It doesn’t have to be Jane, but Genesis? But hang in there. When you can get past those bumps there is a story that is enjoyable and worth reading. Genesis develops as intelligent and thoughtful, not brash, headstrong & resentful. Yay!
Most of the narrators do a good job and fit well.

Amazing story and narration

I loved this omegaverse when I read it. Genesis is such a compelling character - strong, yet vulnerable. I loved the older pack angle and how the relationship healed something for everyone. And the narration? Chef's kiss all the way around.

Enjoyable for an audio book hater!

I don't like to read or listen to audiobooks, but A.J. Shirley's work piqued my interest. I love the radical inclusivity in all her books, and the Knotty Omegas series was so entertaining! My favorite part of this one was the pack's healing journey. The narrators were amazing - I could tell they enjoyed this book. It made it fun to listen to.
