So a while back ago I stumbled upon Ari Wright. She was the first Omegaverse author yours truly read. I’ve read a billion others, it feels like.. but I have read hers start to finish at least 3 times.

Let’s find out why. Because as authors, we want the same thing, right? For readers to fall in love with our worlds?

Right off the bat,  both books are sports themed, RH Omegaverse Romances. The first one is Knot her Goal and the second is Knot her Shot.  For this post, we, Dear Readers, are going to deal with the second one.

One thing Wright handles devastatingly well is how alone a person can feel. Starved for touch. For affection, for people who feel like home. Remi, in Knot her Shot, is so convinced that even the boy who has loved her since they were kids wouldn’t really want her, that she is constantly masking. Making things better for others in a bid to just be wanted for once in her life. 

There is a scene when Remi found hiding in the bottom of a closet is emotionally devastating. And it makes me bawl every time? Why? Because the author has given us all the clues. We know that Remi just want a home, we know she had been using a closet as a nest in her apartment and was denied one in the new living situation by the Alpha who scares her, we know she sings when she’s sad or afraid, and that the closet she’s found in belongs to Bear. The grown version of the boy whose seat shirt she still has from all those years ago.

Smith, the head Alpha of the pack, scares the holy moly out of Remi. He’s her boss at work and is an ass to her. All. The. Time. So yes, he does do some grovelling. But unlike other books where a hero just says he’s sorry, or throws money or presents at the heroine, Smith does something that literally has my jaw hit the floor. Think of it as getting therapy so he could correct himself for her. He didn’t tell anyone until he was outed– didn’t do it for glory. He just did it to make things right.

There’s going to be a book 3. It comes out September 10 and is called Knot her Fight. I’ve seen chatter about signing up for ARCs, etc…. but I haven’t done it. Mostly because of how wrung out I get about books I crave. I have to balance my own mental health and writing against maybe, possibly hopefully getting picked. I don’t post on any of the big draws due to keeping myself sane.

But believe you me. September 10th is written in my planner!

Ta, my Lovelies! What are some books you’re rabid to read? What authors do you pick apart?
