Nora Summers is the Perfect Omega.
No, really. That's what they call her.
The pride and joy of the Design Clinic, every bit of Nora's genome was specifically chosen to make her the ideal Omega. Luckily for her, she was guided into reaching her full potential.
The core tenets of the Perfect Omega are very simple. The Perfect Omega must be the picture of beauty and health. She must maintain a clean, beautiful home and provide for her Alphas by cooking their meals, mending their clothes, and doing household chores. She must never whine or guilt her Alphas for comfort unless she is in heat. Above all, she must please her Alphas every day, in every way, deferring to them in every instance.
Doing all of this, Nora just knows she will find her perfect pack. And what pack wouldn't want the Perfect Omega?
Pack Sloane is not the perfect pack.
Far from it.
With an Alpha who acts more like an Omega, a burly Beta who isn't supposed to be a part of a pack, a hacker with a heart of gold, and a chef with a bad attitude and no desire for an Omega, lead Alpha Nolan has his work cut out for him when he finds himself unexpectedly scent matched to the Perfect Omega.
While most of the pack is excited to bring Nora home, it quickly becomes apparent that something is amiss when it comes to her training, and maybe the Perfect Omega isn't so perfect for Pack Sloane.
Knot All is Perfect is a standalone, why-choose, MMFMMM dark Omegaverse set in Lunarcrest City, part of the Design Clinic universe. For mature listeners.

The male narrator is a little too whimsical at parts, but he quickly makes up for it with the differences between the character voices. I love when you can tell who's speaking by just the chapter announcement.
Narrator is slightly too playful

The pace was good overall, but things did tend to progress a little too quickly. Not in the physical and affective department, but more in the relationship development and introspection areas. The pack gives Chase an ultimatum about his behavior with Nora after only one day, and Nora is struggling with her beliefs and sense of self after only 3 or 4 days with her pack. It all seemed too quick. It would have made more sense if the same things had happened, but after a few weeks instead of a few days.
At one point, Nora recalls an event that, according to her, happened a few weeks after she moved in with her pack, but I was under the impression that it happened a few days after, maybe a week at most. So either there is a pacing issue, or I misunderstood something, because it didn’t feel like she spent weeks with her pack before that event happened, and it didn’t feel like it took weeks for her to put everything she was taught in question.
Nora is a great main character. She is sweet and resilient, and while she was brainwashed and raised to fit the mold of the perfect, meek omega, she is not weak. She learned to be quiet and obedient, but once she gets a taste of freedom, and what a real alpha-omega dynamic looks like, she can stand up for herself, and to realise that what she believed was a perfect omega is not the truth. I loved seeing her grow more confident and heal with the help of her pack. The only tiny issue I have is that she started to question her entire beliefs too quickly. After only a few days, she was admitting out loud how confused she felt, and was realizing that something was not right. It only took a few days with strangers to erase years of work with her mom and doctor; I am happy for Nora that it was so quick, but I think it would have been more believable if it had taken a little longer.
The issue with many of the reverse harem books I’ve read, whether they are omegaverse or not, is the blandness of the love interests. The pack or harem always seems to fit the same mold, and after a while, I feel that the packs all feel similar. There is the sweet one, who is supportive of the omega from the start, the angry one who doesn’t want anything to do with the omega, or holds a grudge for some reason, the alpha who struggles with his emotions and how to interact with the omega, and the others are orbiting around them, being more or less relevant. I am not saying that the guys in this book were bad, because they are not. I liked them, but once again, they fit the pattern.
Levi and Joey are the sweetest. Levi’s understanding of omegas, because his father is one, made him perfect for Nora. He is rather submissive for an alpha, but it works well with their beta, who is a dominant. Joey, the pack’s beta, is funny and has a strong, commanding presence, but he also has a softer side that comes out whenever Nora or Levi needs it. He is a big Teddy bear, and I loved him.
Blaine and Nolan are nice, I guess. Honestly, besides the fact that Blaine is a kind of hacker, we do not know much about him. He is nice and good for Nora, but that’s about all I can say about him. Nolan is the leader of the pack, and he is also kind and sweet. He and Blaine were around for the story, but they kind of faded into the background at times.
Chase showed more complexity than the other alphas, but I didn’t like that he was mean to Nora simply because he wanted to be antagonistic. Sure, he said again and again that it was because he didn’t believe she was genuine and he didn’t trust her, but despite his weak explanations, it feels like he was a jerk simply because the author needed one of the alphas to be mean to add some angst. Once he scents Nora, he does a 180 °, and she forgives him way too easily. It does fit with her brainwashing and her belief that she has to do anything and everything to make her alphas happy, but it was not satisfactory to me. He was mean to her, then apologized once he realized that he was wrong about her, and that was it.
That being said, I like that he didn’t hesitate to say out loud how ridiculous this idea of a perfect omega was. His anger should have been directed toward the clinic rather than Nora, but I still like that he pointed it out from the start.
Overall, I still enjoyed this book, and I will definitely give the next one a try. The second book of the series is described as more of a contemporary romance, with lower angst, so I am a little wary, since I don’t really enjoy contemporary romances most of the time, but hopefully, it will be another pleasant surprise.
Interesting concept
