Valentine’s Heart by Merri Bright

3.5 Stars

All She needs to do is punch her V card before she goes into heat. The doctors think a nice beta will help me before I take an alpha’s knot on. My sisters find me someone at the club but all I want is the one person who is off limits. My alpha bodyguard is everything I want and can’t have. When he rescues me from the beta and pushes me into heat will I get my HEA?

Pretty solid book. The biggest issue I had was the ending. It felt rushed. Like the relationship building was going nicely and then an issue popped up with Donovan from something that happened when he was a teenager and he hadn’t really worked through it. This meant he wasn’t comfortable with having a true relationship with knotting with Valentine. I don’t know if it was page count or what but the author shoved it off. Got Valentine through her heat and then talked about it in the epilogue. It was fine but it felt like a cop out with how traumatizing this situation was to him. Overall it was a good addition to the series but it was definitely a short story.

Knotty New Year by Merri Bright

4 Stars

Candy just wants to live her life to the best, but her designation means other people get to tell her what to do and when to do it. When she and her friends start a business to be betasitters she feels like she’s finally taking her life into her own hands. Her first job is for a billionaire who happens to be her fated mate and they end up snowed in. He’s grumpy and wants nothing to do with her until her heat hits. When it’s done Nicholas walks away thinking he’s giving her the choices she wants but instead hurts her. When he finally realizes his error can he fix things with her without more problems?

Spicy Snowed in, age, gap, omegaverse book that’s worth reading. Nicholas is an ass through most of the book but he pulls out a super sweet move to win her over just to royally fuck it all up. He sort of makes up for the later mess but not really for the issues he caused. I loved Candy and all her friends. I also loved Nicholas’ siblings. The siblings are all so welcoming to her and want to take care of her all while bashing their brother. I kind of want more books with all of them. Can’t wait for the next book.
