Knot in Their Wildest Dreams Part 1 by Violet ColtairMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I honestly didn’t like any of them.
Celeste should have been unstoppable. She’s positioned as a true Omega badass! She’s sharp, strategic, and powerful, but the second she learns the pack are her scent matches, all that backbone dissolves. Suddenly, she’s slicking for the very men who are blackmailing her? For a woman built up as a formidable business leader, it reads like she’s been handed a spine made of cracked glass.
And that’s what frustrates me most, because Celeste deserves better.
She’s already fighting uphill every single day. She’s an omega CEO in a world determined to reduce her to a party girl stereotype. Behind the scenes, she’s brilliant and intentional: growing her company, quietly advocating for other omegas, improving employee satisfaction, and funneling resources into under-resourced communities. She’s doing the work, moving the chess pieces, playing the long game.
Which makes it all the more disappointing that the narrative undercuts her strength the moment romance enters the room. Poor Celeste isn’t weak; she’s written that way. And that choice does her character a real disservice.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
