Knot The Only One

by Aspen Black, Jenn D. Young

For years I’ve been told I’m not your typical omega. That I’m less because of the way I behave and think.

It wasn’t until I met them that I knew I was worthy of love. Noah. James. Lucas.

They rush in and capture my heart with their easy temperaments, and smooth words. Add in a cowboy twang and a few well placed Darlin’s and I find the walls around my heart knocked down.

Will they still love me, even when they find all my hidden scars?

They have their own secrets. Ones that might collide with mine and send us on a dark path.

Can we conquer our demons together?

Or will the past be too much for any of us to bare?

It’s great reading a book with a well written neurodivergent character. The authors do a good job with writing in the Omegaverse trope. The characters are engaging and I was invested in their relationship. I did enjoy reading this book.

These two didn’t disappoint with the next book in the curvy omegaverse. Bridget has been told for years that she is not your typical omega due to her behaviour and the way she thinks. She thought she would never be worthy of love until she met Noah, James and Lucas. The guys did everything right to make the walls around her heart crumble and be completely knocked down. But Bridget is also worried about what will happen when the guys find all her hidden scars and if they will still love her for who she is scars and all. Pasts catch up with them but to be able to conquer it and pull thru the whole thing they must stick together. Another book I was not able to put down from start to finish I just loved it

Another great omega read from this author. I am so happy to finally get this read. It feels like forever since I met these characters in perfectly knot. And I was so looking forward to their story. And it did not disappoint. It was such a great read, and I loved all the characters. Loved that we got to see old characters and meet new ones. Only problem with the book is the ending. And to that I say WHAT’S HIS NAME?!? great read.

Curvy omegaverse goodness! I just loved Bridget, with her trauma filled past and anxiety issues, finding her pack on a ranch is just totally perfect for her. Her 3 guys are total sweethearts, but each with their own traumas. I really enjoyed their love story, their relationships with each other and of course the brilliant side characters! With an over arching theme, this stand alone keeps you frantically turning pages with the steam and emotional dramas. Cant wait to read more in this world!

This is not a standalone, because it jumps right into action from ehete I assume book 1 in this «standalone series» ended, and what happened there is never explained nor is the universe this is set in. Everyone kerps referencing how bad «the society» is, but its never really explained….

DNF 67%.
Lo intenté, de verdad que si. Me costó UN MONTÓN conseguir este libro y me moría de ganas de leerlo, tenía expectativas muy altas? CLARAMENTE. Hablamos de una Omega curvy, neurodivergente, con una manada harén y contenido MM, osea matenme por todas mis estúpidas expectativas pero pensé que sería espectacular. Alerta spoiler: NO LO FUE. Y aquí van los verdaderos spoilers así que no lo lean si no los necesitan:
En principal, hablemos de "La Sociedad", si, en mayúsculas. Que es esta "Sociedad"? es un culto, es un movimiento político? la autora no lo aclara, y eso que ya tenemos un libro anterior con esta historia. Estamos en blanco.
Hablemos de nuestra protagonista Bridget, es neurodivergente, pero cuál es su neurodivergencia? no hay una explicación a la manada, de parte de nadie, ni siquiera cuenta su historia. Además supuestamente tenía cicatrices en la espalda porque su padre la sometía a tratos con el cinturón y la vara, pero tienen relaciones sexuales y esas cicatrices son INEXISTENTES. Los chicos ven su cuerpo desnudo y no hacen absolutamente ningún comentario al respecto, de nuevo, dónde están?
El romance en general y eso que amo los libros de amor instantáneo, me pareció terriblemente rápido y sin química alguna. Al único que puedo apreciarle una personalidad y chispa bien construida es a Lucas. Los demás fueron literalmente el "lo veo y lo quiero, lo quiero y lo tengo". No hubo un cortejo o si existió la autora no supo plasmarlo, no me sentí conectada a la manada y el ritmo fue tan absurdamente rápido que la historia me aburrió.
En fin, por la premisa esperaba muchísimo de este libro y terminé sorprendida, para mal 💔

Bridget's life with her family was cruel and mean with many beatings, she had no confidence in herself, and was prone to anxiety attacks and was a nerodivergent omega. Her father believed the only use for her as an omega was to help increase their standing in getting ahead in society. Her two sisters had done that but she was broken as far as her family was concerned because she could not bring in a good match. Simon had rejected her when they were in their teens. Simon did it because he would not conform to the Society's standards for Alpha and Omega Marriages. Simon became like a brother to her and had helped her escape. The had placed her with a wonderful Italian family, Bridget was so happy learning to cook and they treated her like one of the family, when the Society found her again. Simon and his pack helped her escape to Montana to the Second Chance Ranch to work as a maid. As Bridget met Lucas, Noah and James they were coming together as a family a pack finally make her feel she had a home. To make it even better she had a friend/sister, Alena Simon's omega. Could she finally find peace and happiness? What happens when her brother finds her and demands she do certain things if she want to save her pack? Can she do it? The feud with Lucas, Noah and James neighbors can that finally be resolved. This book contains a story within stories . This well written story will keep you glued to your seat.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "KNOT THE ONLY ONE" I thoroughly enjoyed this OMEGAVERSE story that pulls you right in from the start it was intriguing, interesting, entertaining, heartfelt, secrets, steam, angst, feeling inadequate, abusive family & society situation, your hooked to the end.
Bridget comes from an abusive family & society that makes her feel horrible about herself saying she's not your usual Omega because of how she acts her friend who's like a brother Simon trys to get her away from her father & brother by hiding her away at a Second Chance Ranch in Montana to jeep her safe.
Simon's friends with the Alpha Noah & his betas James & Lucas who are already a pack having an Omega added to the mix could be great for them, she's attracted to the men but worries about them finding out her secrets.
I definitely recommend to get this well written story Noah, James & Lucas we're so great with Bridget helping her overcome the feeling of inadequacy she's always felt, she's grown alot since being at the RANCH, then her past catches up with her but she a changed person with her men behind her to deal with these people, will everything turn out for her & her men it's a must read you don't want to miss I loved it.
AWESOME PARANORMAL OMEGAVERSE ROMANCE 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[Anna McCauslin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Knot The Only One is the latest Curvy Omegaverse to hit our kindles (or bookshelves), and it is full of the sweet and sexy moments that this series is so good at portraying. Bridget comes with damage. The kind you get from awful parents and being threatened with trafficking as an omega. But her sheer will and determination keep her alive and on the move. Until everything comes to a head and she is forced to Second Chance Ranch for safety. It's there that this struggling omega finds Lucas, Noah, and James. What starts out as two Betas and an Alpha hiding the shy omega, turns into her saving them. Their ranch. Pack dynamics. Neighbors. And friends. All of it needs an omega touch. Bridget in turn needs their strength and support to survive her family and the underground omega trafficking. This was full of sweetness. A little fear. And the sort of wide eyed honesty that makes Curvy Omegaverse the perfect lighter read, that won't give you a toothache. There is real pain involved with these characters, and it makes them all the more real.

Knot the Only One

Bridget has found love at last with Noah, Lucas, and James. Being an omega with the less traditional looks and more forward thinking, Bridget never thought it would be possible before these men found her. But now she has an uphill battle figuring out if they will still feel the same despite her hidden trauma, and finding out what their own secrets are.

I took a hiatus from reading omegaverse romances, because they were all turning out the same. While this one does have all the same hallmarks of the usual omegaverse romance, the authors did give it its own unique spin and made it worth the read. Bridget is a fun omega despite the scars that she has. I can identify with that and being more on the curvy side. The authors wrote her character well and her men did a fantastic job in showing her why being curvy can also be fun.

Bridget has escaped from a horrific omega trafficking ring run by her father and brother. Her closest friend has brought her to the Second Chance Ranch to work, though he suspects the alpha and his two betas might be destined to be Bridget's pack.

Noah, James, and Lucas have a close and loving relationship. But something remains missing. Noah fears telling the other two that the ranch is in trouble. James struggles with his own identity. And Lucas struggles with self-worth. Bridget might be the answer to their prayers to cement the bond between them all.

I really enjoyed that this was an omegaverse read with swords crossing. The dynamics between pack members were much more complex and I really loved this group. I also really loved the nicknames that each pack member had for their omega. Darlin', Little One, and Baby Girl - just swoon. If you love an omegaverse read with great pack dynamics, found family, some spice, and a neurodivergent heroine, look no further.

What's better than combing Omegaverse and coyboy romance? One that also features and well written neurodivergent main character. Loved this sweet story story of an omega who is being saved from "the society" and hidden by Simon, her substitute brother. Her protects her with a ferocity that one would their blood sister and hides her at a Ranch in Montana with three yummy cowboy men, Noah, the alpha of the pack, James, a beta who acts more like and alpha, and Lucas the fun loving beta who provides the comedic relief. The 3 men have a strong bond with each other and there is some yummy MM action, but Bridget proves to be the missing link that they needed. Just as she finally accepts that she could be part of this family, her past catches up with her stealing her away from her chance at happiness. A wonderful standalone omegaverse story.

Another Goody

I thoroughly enjoyed Bridget’s story and how she settled with Noah, James & Lucas. The story was a lovely slow pace with the inevitable drama at the end involving Bridget’s brother. But as normal it all worked out in the end. I absolutely loved the men, especially Lucas and his bratty fun loving self. Their MM relationship was just yummy which only grew when Bridget’s came I to their lives. It’s was wonderful to also have more of Alena and her men as part of the family. Excited to see where the story goes next!

Book 2 of 2(?)interconnected Standalones

Once again my highlights aren’t showing up idk why 😡😭

💜 Omegaverse RH MMFM
💜 First person/Multi POV
💜Has MM, all 3 in relationship
💜No OWD/cheating
💜Insta love
💜Virgin FMC
💜One MC never been with a female
💜Spanking
💜FMC is neurodivergent
💜Past abuse for FMC & MCs (off page)
💜Kidnapping

FMC- Bridget
MCs- Lucas, Noah and James

Like the first book, this was a decent read. Love the fact that the FMC was neurodivergent! And I loved that Lucas has never been with a woman before, so hard to find books where the guy has little to no experience with OW. I mean they label Lucas as a manwhore, but a manwhore for his mates only 😂 only kind of manwhore I can get behind.

Wonder if there will be more books and if so, if the brothers on the other ranch will be getting one? I hope so and make them not manwhores please 🙏

Cute!

Knot The Only One is the second book in the Curvy Omegaverse series. In the first book we met Bridget and knew she would be getting her own book soon. Well...here it is!

First, I love that she's a neurodivergent. It was interesting to read about how Bridget reacted to different things in her environment and what kind of impact they had on her. It also showed her strength and how she navigated things most of us never think about.

Second, I love that Bridget finds herself in Montana and with cowboys. She's had a rough time so it was cute to see her find her cowboys. Plus they are so sweet.

Third, I really enjoy a good omegaverse read and this one came when I was looking for a new one to read.

[Angie]

I'm not rating this book, because it simply wasn't for me. It's well written, as is normal for these two amazing authors, but it reads much like a DDLG story, and that's not something I enjoy at all. A couple of challenges with the story itself were that our FMC is a survivor of horrific abuse, and yet there is a ton of spanking, threats of spanking, and at one point, when she has said she's been whipped with belts, one of the alpha's whips the beta with his belt. It all felt super tone-deaf to me of how people would behave around an abuse survivor. And the storyline with her brother felt like it came way out of left field. I generally love everything these two authors write, individually and together, so one miss out of all the hits is a pretty great record.

New Life…

Bridget was running from her abusive and controlling family. When her last location was compromised her friend took her to a ranch. She met the owner Noah, James and Lucas there. They were instantly aware of her and knew to take things slow.

Bridget had been controlled for so long that she never let herself feel worthy of having a pack. She never thought she’d find anyone to love her for the way she was.

Lucas was a sassy beta with a heart of gold. I loved how he treated Bridget, like she was his everything. James and Noah were also very patient with her.

This was pretty good. Had the same issue with it as I did from the first book, the overuse of the words giggles and giggled.

[Maureen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Been a long time waiting for this, but so worth it.

Bridget is an omega who is on the run from dangerous people, and lands up in a safe house, being looked after by Noah, James and Lucas. And of course, sparks fly almost straight away!

There's three plot strands - the development of Bridget's relationship with the guys, the situation the ranch is in, and the overall arc about omega trafficking that touches on all the books. They work well together, and none feels overdone compared to the others.

It was good to catch up with Alena and her men from the first book, and I think I'm more invested in seeing how the overall arc plays out that then smut. But, if you know these two authors, you know that's of the charts hot, too!

Looking forward to seeing where this goes next!

a very cute story

I love this trope so much, but there were some things missing for me. While the MMCs were sweet in a way I loved, there were pieces of the FMCs background that were told and then not handled. She comes from a very abusive background, but moves on super quick, too quick. The authors talk about how she has a lot of scars she doesn’t want anyone to see, but then it’s never mentioned when they would have seen them. She was also abused in ways that should make some of the spicy scenes triggering to her and her happy acceptance of them is disingenuous. All that being said, the bulk of the story was the sweet falling in love and learning about each other that I like. I would very much reach other books in this series about the other Omega we heard about.

[T.P.A. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ever since encountering Alina's story I was quite taken with the guys from the Second Chance Ranch, which surprised me as cowboys are not necessarily my cup of tea. However, Noah, James and Lucas offered such tenderness, appreciation, gratitude and devotion to each other and what they have built, that I couldn't help being swept by them. Bridget was a wonderful addition and as a character she was absolutely adorable.
These two authors know how to pull at heartstrings as this was an engaging story from start to finish. What really grabs me is their ability to create the sense of an actual, solid relationships being built, based off n mutual respect and trust, alongside the more passionate moments.

[Lisa Bing · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an excellent addition to the series. I loved Bridget. She's neurodivergent and I found that put a very different spin on the omegaverse plot. She's had to think and deal with so many things that most of us never have to, forget just being an omega. And she comes from an abusive background... It was fab to see her falling for Noah, James and Lucas. It as more fun having them stand behind her when she needed the support but also to show her that she was worthy of love, no matter how different she was. Expect good spicy times to go with that ;P I really enjoyed how this one unfolded and look forward to the next :D

This is book 2 in author duo Black and Young's Curvy Omegaverse series and can be read as a standalone. While I thought this was a well written romance read, I'm not a huge fan of omega and focus on curvy girls...I mean, why bring attention to it? Regardless of that, I very much enjoyed the storyline and characters. Bridget is our main character who is raised in an abusive family but finds insta love / chemistry with Noah. James. Lucas. Great balance of sweet and steam and an overall captivating storyline.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.

Bridget (FMC) is neurodivergent but also has a lot of anxieties that stem back from mental and physical abuse she suffered at the hands of her family. On the run from them with the help of her friend -Simon she finds a place to feel safe & call home with 3 men - Lucas, Noah and James. All of which have their own difficult backgrounds but it's the dynamic that they had with Bridget that I loved. It was sweet, caring and endearing. I really liked how Bridget grew as a character as the book progressed and her relationship strengthened. I really enjoyed reading this book and I liked all the characters in it.

[thenerdybookworm_ · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve needed Noah, James, and Lucas’s story ever since we got a peek at them in Perfectly Knot. These southern gentleman are absolutely swoon worthy and Bridget is one lucky omega.

This story, is sweet and a whole lot of spicy. Being an omega in the society given Bridget nothing but heartache. Throw in the fact that she’s a little bit different and it’s been h3ll. Finding herself in Montana, among three sexy cowboys brings a whole new set of challenges.

Bridget’s character has so much strength and I enjoyed seeing her thrive. Noah, James, and Lucas are just so sweet, not to mention those southern twangs.

I so enjoy this author pairing and I’m looking forward to more from them.

Jenn and Aspen bring us another wonderful book in the Curvy Omegaverse series!! The story of Bridget, Noah, James and Lucas is sweet and spicy with some danger as well. It starts with Simon arranges for her to be sheltered by the guys, who figure out right away that she's their mate, but also that they need to go slowly and carefully. This leads to a rollercoaster ride of emotions and events that keep you guessing and turning pages throughout. Beautifully written with complex characters and plot twists, this book is sure to become a favourite I loved reading this book and highly recommend it. Don't miss out on this book!!

[Lexi · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is Bridget’s story and she’s a mix of vulnerable and strong. We do still get to see more of Alena and her pack throughout this story. Bridget is neurodivergent and it was interesting to see how she interacted with others along with how she read body language. She’s been abused a lot and has a lot of trauma to work through which her lack does try to help with. Thankfully there’s a good amount of communication between the characters. There’s a good amount of spice. I want to know more about the plot and what’s going on with the omegas being trafficked. I’m hopeful to get more stories in this world and see much more of these characters.

Knot The Only One, nook two in the Curvy Omegaverse series by Aspen Black and Jenn D Young is yet again another fabulous curvaceous dive into the omegaverse world and utterly charming!!!

This story is all about Bridget, the sweet omega we got to meet in the first book, and of course her sexy, charming and loving men that love her just the way she is! When certain obstacles come into play, and pasts and secrets are revealed, will feelings change or will love triumph? Read on to see for yourself!

Overall if you love beautiful, sweet, curved omega heroines and sexy drawling cowboy alphas defying archaic societal standards then this is the one for you!

[Monique · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such an adorable story!
I enjoyed getting to know Bridget and of course each of the guys at the Ranch.
It started off slow, to reflect Bridget's skittishness perhaps but I really liked seeing her confidence grow. I really liked seeing a neurodivergent leading lady!
The guys, well, honestly, Lucas is my favourite! He is so cheeky! I really like the dynamic between Lucas, James, and Noah. It really was like Bridge was the final puzzle piece in their little family. I liked seeing older characters again, too. Although a happy story, it is not without some challenges and twists.
Can't wait to find out what happens next!

DNF: Not For Me

Bridget is naive. She said she was in love but literally barely had a conversation with one of the men. I could have forgiven that. But for her to share that this man had been abused as a child to others so freely because she “needed to know” - showed more a selfishness and lack of respect than I could deal with. She needed to know “for him” and they barely have a relationship. It was cringeworthy and I stopped reading at that point. No matter how great the story may have turned out…that was a line crossed that didn’t sit well with me.
