LIGHTS, CAMERA, KNOT…

From the mind of Kayla Grosse comes a new high-heat MMFMM omegaverse romance under her new pen name Kay Lynn.

Landing the lead role in Knotting Hill should’ve been Iris Walker’s big break—a romantic comedy with an all-star cast and crew, and the chance to prove just how good of an actress she really is beyond the roles she’s been pigeonholed into.

Except her heat suppressants just wore off… and the director, cinematographer, writer, and leading man?

Yeah. They’re all her scent matches.

She came to make movie magic, but now she’s just trying not to combust before the cameras start rolling.

I really wanted to love this omegaverse romance, but there was not even a sprinkle of plot or push and pull between the pack and the fmc. It literally goes they meet, they realize their scent matches, she goes into heat, and they f*ck. That's the entirety of the book. There's not a morsel of connection or emotion outside of attraction and it was so boring. Where was the tension? Where was the filming plot? Where was the storyline? I'm just so disappointed.

This is my first Kayla Grosse novel—she is writing under Kay Lynn here—so it felt fitting to jump in with her first omegaverse. This is only my second omegaverse book, but Lights, Camera, Knot is a great starter for people like me because Grosse went out of her way to really document every aspect of how omegaverse functions and it helped me keep track of things!

I really enjoyed the characterizations of each character. I sometimes feel like why choose, poly, or, in this case, omegaverse books that are also multi-POV become challenging for me to feel connected to each character or feel like they’re distinctive enough from each one another. That was very much not the case here; the pack dynamics were interesting and very layered, and the pack not only felt unique, they also had their own unique relationships with one another within the pack. While I still find the concept of alphas/betas/omegas fascinating, I think this book alone did leaps and bounds in making me ~get it~.

I wish there had been more romance and yearning among the group. I felt like I was being told that that romance and yearning was present but it wasn’t being shown to me through their thoughts and actions. As a matter of fact, for most of the book, I felt like so much of the spice/the omega being in heat felt very clinical to the point that it wasn’t hot for me until I spoke to a friend who also received an ARC and she suggested reading the very clinical “he’s going to do x, is that okay?” “I’m going to put this here and then he’s young to do y, understand?” as consent check-ins and not the crew-standing-around-on-a-movie-set-during-a-sex-scene vibes I felt initially and that helped so much! I wish I understood what the movie was about because I was really intrigued about the on-set accommodations for omegas and the importance of why an omega specifically was needed for the role. Also, I remain unclear about whether or not there were other species or even human beings in this world outside of alphas, omegas, and betas, but that is in no way important to the story!

Thank you so much to Kay Lynn for the ARC!

Thank you to Kay Lynn and her team for giving me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have always loved Kayla Grosse's books so when I heard she was doing an omegaverse romance book I was sooo excited and this one did not disappoint! It's fun and sweet and also so so spicy!!! I would have loved for this to have been longer and I really hope Kay Lynn will give us more from these characters! I can't wait for book two!!!

I went into Lights, Camera, Knot SO excited. I am a huge fan of both omegaverse and Kayla Grosse, so this felt like it was made for me.

And honestly, it delivered, just not quite as much as I wanted.

This follows a pretty classic omegaverse setup. Omega trying to avoid being scented, fails, and ends up with her scent matched pack. No surprises there, and Kay sticks closely to established lore. But everything moves fast. We go from page one to Iris being in a nest with her full pack almost immediately. I really would have loved more buildup, more tension, more courting, and more emotional development before the bond fully locked in.

Once the pack helps her through her heat, it is basically instant love and bonding. Then we jump a year ahead and the story wraps. That was probably my biggest issue. I just wanted more. More time with the relationships, more plot, more of that balance Kayla Grosse usually does so well in her contemporary romances.

Because that is the thing. Her usual strength is blending strong plot with high spice seamlessly. Here, the spice is definitely present, but the plot felt a little thin in comparison.

Now the audiobook. This is where it really shines. Full cast duet narration. Need I say more. Having James Cassidy as the lead alpha and Greyson Owens as the beta was an immediate yes for me. The entire cast adds so much life and depth to the story. I am really glad I listened instead of eyeball reading this one.

Overall, I liked it. I just did not love it. The potential was absolutely there. I just wish it had been more developed. The audiobook definitely bumps it up for me. Thanks Kay Lynn (Kayla Grosse 🙂) for the ALC of your first omegaverse!!

Thank you Kay Lynn and team for this Arc and my honest review.✨

I’m so happy that Kay enter the omegaverse, and I enjoyed this book so much, it did have a few moments where I found kinda repetitive but overall had an amazing time with the story, I enjoyed so much her word games like “knotting hill”, also surprised to see she included a fellow Mexican character 🇲🇽.

Overall Augie was my man, I wan him and I knew he would be the best cuddler 😏🫶🏼✨

Holy smokes. This is hot AF (obviously) but it is so incredibly well written. I would recommend this to anyone that loves Omega tales. But, more than that: I think this would be my first recommendation to anyone that wanted to try the omegaverse. Mainly because it’s so clear and concisely written.
There’s clear lines and plot. The dialogue is easy to follow. The characters are clearly defined. And, the opening of the book lays out the foundation in an easy to digest manner. It’s great for those that want to dip their toes in this area. And, one hell of a story for us old hats.

The progression and pacing were tight and held you locked into everything that was happening. When I say I loved it… Hell yea I mean it. The characters were terrific. I love our pack and our dear omega/Iris.
No notes. No quirks. Nada.

ARC review
⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️

I’m a huge fan of Kayla’s work and of omegaverse, so I was so excited to receive this ARC. If you’re looking for a high spice intro to omegaverse, this is the perfect read for you. It works as a strong introduction to the genre with introductions and explanations to the standard elements woven into the narrative seamlessly (there’s also an introduction that includes this info).

Pack Quinn is a fantastic group of three alphas and a beta. Each alpha has a distinct personality and preferences (honestly, a lot of large omegaverse groups are so messy, it can be hard to see where they differ at times), but my personal favorites were Mateo and Augie (the beta) who have a mating bond of their own. For me, they really provided the emotional core of the story, and it shone through in their scenes with Iris.

Iris is a bit of a messy FMC, making career decisions that leave her Omega absolutely desperate for caretaking. And the desperation truly shines, especially when her heat hits.

The bulk of the book is one long heat, and I have absolutely no problem with a lot of spice, but there wasn’t much tension or plot to go along with jt.

Thanks so much to Kayla and her team for the advance copy! I look forward to reading more by this author in the genre.

ARC Review- This was a spicy Omegaverse filled with affection and raw animalistic need! I feel like the personalities of the Quinn pack balance each other out perfectly! There’s Wilder, the dominant Alpha, Mateo, the playful Alpha, Jett, the protective Alpha, and Augie, the calming Beta. Then you throw in Iris, the sassy yet obedient Omega and everyone has everything they could ever want! All the mentions of everyone’s scents made me want a strawberry cocktail with lemon, mint, basil and honey. I love that this author always has a plus size FMC, it spreads love and acceptance for bodies with a little more on them to enjoy. If you’re looking for your next Omegaverse book, then look no further!!

Not the worst thing I’ve ever read but it was extremely repetitive, like full thoughts and scenes and sentences would be repeated from chapter to chapter- it was so annoying. Also, each of the characters barely had one thing about them that we got to know in favor of over 50% of this book being smut. Like I could barely distinguish two of these men, and Iris didn’t have a personality at all. Making their designation a separate entity in their head was also dumb, it made them all seem like they had some kind of personality disorder haha. The setup kind of weirded me out too, idk, just not for me and this book needed way more editing.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Dreamscape Select | Fat Babe Publishing, INC for the ALC!

If Kayla Grosse writes it I will read it!

I read this book when it first came out and absolutely loved it. The story is fun and so much spice! When I saw that the audiobook was coming out I knew I needed to listen to it immediately!

The narrators completely ELEVATED this book so much. The way that they were able to bring these characters to life so seamlessly almost made me forget it was not real life! It was perfect casting all around and I know that this will definitely be a go to reread/relisten.

Whew I love me a good Omegaverse and this hit in all the right places.

This was one spicy book and I loved every single minute of it. It was hot but there was so much more to their story as well. The characters all have an incredible connection and watching them settle in to a relationship that works for them was beautiful.

Smut and spice and all the knots. Sometimes I really just want allll of the nasty knotty spiciness that comes from an omegaverse book. And this one delivered. Don’t get me wrong, yes the plot was very minimal but it is a shorter book and my girl went into heat immediately. So I meannnnn realistically speaking, it was bound to be full of all of the filthy dirty spice. Lol I loved it for an I better book. Each MMC had me blushing the entire time. And the FMC was a plus size woman so I’m here for it.

I love an established pack looking to add an omega and seeing how they all work out the new pack dynamic. Iris Walker showed up to her first day on set and got way more than she bargained for. I can’t wait to read more of the Angel City Omegas!

DNF @ 40%. I love sweet omegaverse stories and Kayla’s other books but every other sentence felt like it was about their biology and there wasn’t much else in terms of character development or plot, which was so disappointing as I was enjoying it! The potential is there but needs so much more development.

This was my first dip into the omegaverse pool. The characters in this one were so interesting to read how they are all individually so different but when they come together they are the perfect pack. If you enjoy omegaverse you will enjoy this book!

It was cute good smutty time. I wish there was more of a plot but I think that this will be a series. I’m not sure if I’ll be in a rush to pick it up. If you want a insta love fated mates story definitely pick up this quick read.

I honestly didn’t think I’d be into omegaverse books—but boy-o-boy, was I wrong. This was my first real dip into the genre, and I’m ready to jump in headfirst!

Iris Walker is determined to land a role in the upcoming movie 'Knotting Hill', and for good reason: she wants to act alongside Jett (the industry’s hottest Alpha) and work with August (a Beta screenwriter behind all her favorite films). The timing couldn’t be worse, though—she’s on the verge of going into heat after having to stop taking her suppressants. Things start to spiral when she meets Mateo (the cinematographer, an Alpha, and August’s bonded mate) and feels an immediate spark. Then comes Wilder—the Prime Alpha and director—and the moment they touch, everything tips over the edge and her heat hits hard.

What follows is intense, emotional, and honestly way more captivating than I expected. The guys take care of Iris in a way that feels both protective and deeply connected, turning what could have been overwhelming into something surprisingly meaningful and, at times, tender. Also, Wilder is into primal play and that scene 🫠.. my god!

One of my favorite things about this book was how natural the connections felt—not just between Iris and each of the four men, but between the men themselves. Their dynamic as a pack was really interesting, especially as someone new to the Alpha/Beta/Omega hierarchy. It was easy to follow, and I never felt lost, which is something I sometimes struggle with in why-choose romances.

😍 Primal Play
😍 Boyfriends are boyfriends
😍 Rutting
😍 5 POVs
😍 LOTS of eating 😉

Kayla. Ma’am. I have no words. I am UNWELL. Utterly unwell. I swear I can’t wait for this audio. These four men are ALL OF THE THINGS. Imagine having 4 men made just for you wanting to give you everything you ever wanted. And did I mention HOT and sexy? And imagine those 4 hot sexy men smell like your perfect scent. Make your mouth water scents. Ooof.

August, Jett, Mateo, and Wilder are ridiculously perfect for Iris. And how cute was the “favorite color” question?

This is SPICY. When Ms Kayla says HIGH HEAT… she’s not playing. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️. More really I mean come on!

Triggers: knotting ( it’s in the title my friends)
Fisting
Mmfmm
Slight primal play
Some power imbalance ( but we’re talking alphas here)
Very very very explicit and frequent spicy scenes
