Emma Matthews was supposed to be on her honeymoon for the Christmas holiday.
Now, she’s driving a getaway car… up a mountain… in a snow storm.
And while she might not miss the scientifically-matched pack she left behind quite as much as she should, she definitely misses her phone charger. Especially when she veers off course and drives into a snow bank.
But it’s okay! She’s fine! After all, a positive attitude is the most important thing a girl can have—especially when she wakes up in a cabin full of strange alphas… who think they’re her mates.
All four of them: one hot-shot hockey star, a teddy bear firefighter, the famously naked chef, and a grumpy mountain man with the world’s sweetest dog.
If they seem like an impossible combination, it’s because they are. Turns out, these guys aren’t just strangers to her—they’ve also never met each other. Now, they have to decide if they want to stay together and make her their omega or continue on their separate ways.
Emma has never been anyone’s first choice—and she knows it might take a Christmas miracle to work things out. But, lucky for her, she has a whole list of ideas…

⚾ SUMMARY
Her whole life, Bridget's been made to feel less than because of her size and the sharpness of her scent. With her family constantly trying to “fix” her and berating her, she's convinced she will never find a pack, let alone a true mate. So, when the Locke Pack propose a fake engagement to help clean up their image, Bridget agrees knowing it's the only way she will ever be able to take care of herself. It was the perfect arrangement, until the world found out that the ring on her finger held no more meaning than a piece of costume jewelry. With the gossip not dying down, the pack decide there is only way to fix this for all of them... They're going to have to move into Bridget's cottage... even if it only has one bed.
⚾ INITIAL THOUGHTS
I have been dying for a good Omegaverse romp for a long time and I knew the moment I saw Ari post the trope list on her Instagram that this was a book I needed to read. Thankfully, my arc application was accepted and I got to dive right in!
⚾ THE CHARACTERS
Bridget - There's nothing I love more than a bright, bubbly and smart mouthed FMC & Bridget was the epitome of sparkling. But... she was vulnerable and full of self-doubt thanks to her tw*t of a sister and mother. Though, despite everything she was forced to endure and deal with growing up, she knew her strengths and she didn't let other people's opinions and treatment of her change who she was and how she treated others. She was smart, quirky, sweet, so full of life and I'm so thankful that when these alphas pulled their heads out of their asses and realized that fake engagement wasn't so fake anymore, she didn't just let them in.
She made them work & and boy did they ever.
These men had me from wanting to swing to swooning hard & they complimented each other so perfectly. They each have very distinct personalities, and it was so cute to watch them adapt to each other and to Bridget. Watching them grow as a pack and independently made the ending even that much more endearing.
Though as much as I loved Adrian, Jesse, Colt & Dante... they weren't my favorite character.
That honor lies with the old bitchy bat of a neighbor, Betty. Honestly, there is absolutely nothing I love more in a book than the old crotchety lady who secretly loves you as if you were their own child but does nothing but insult you.
Also, I just want to cuddle up on the couch with Colt & Munchie.
⚾ THE STORY
This wasn't only a story of romance, but also a story of self-acceptance and coming into yourself. Bridget has always been confident and resilient, but there was still a part of her that doubted and shamed herself. She didn't believe she would ever find her true mates, but not because she didn't deserve it, but because she was convinced nobody would ever want her. (eff you Alicia) So, to watch Bridget and her pack go through the ups and downs of potentially bonding with someone you weren't scent matched to was a roller coaster that legitimately gave me anxiety.
That Gala scene with Jesse - I about died!!!
Also, I truly enjoyed Colt's storyline. Out of all the alphas, it was his story I was most invested in. Redemption. Healing. Cuddles on the couch with Munchie. Watching him find the strength and the initiative to move forward and leave the past behind him was beautiful watch and I'm so grateful that he didn't just do it for Bridget. He did it for himself too.
⚾ OVERALL
This was my first Ari Wright book, but I can promise you it won't be my last. I'm going back to the beginning of the MVP pack and starting from the beginning. It's not very often I find an omegaverse author that I obsess over, but Ari is now one of two!
Xo,

For Always (Star-Crossed City Book) Second Chance Billionaire Romance by Ari Wright , New Book Release
No one walks away from Grayson Stryker… except her.
For Always a Second Chance Billionaire Romance by Ari Wright
A bit of yarn and a lot of bitterness. That's all the girl of his dreams left behind when she disappeared.
Why did she leave? Where did she go? Why the hell does he still care three years later?
Grayson Stryker is busy managing his family's drama and their billions while running the largest development company in Manhattan. He doesn't have time to wonder about the gorgeous, one-in-a-million girl who dumped him; or would have dumped him, if she had even bothered to say goodbye.
But when memories from their past bring Ella into Grayson's future, will he finally find out why the one got away? And can he win her back?
With one football legend, a feral cage fighter, the country’s youngest Senator, and one seriously stern professor, the Thorne Pack couldn’t be more intimidating, even without an omega to bond them.
Which is probably for the best—with all their sharp edges, how could they ever take care of anything precious?
Turns out, they may not have a choice.
When happenstance hands them an omega who needs help, the bond is instant—and accidental. Now, they have to show her they’re ready to fight for her heart, even if they lose everything else to win her over.
***
Serena only wanted to be free.
Or, more accurately, rescued.
But her plan to escape a hopeless situation lands her in an even more desperate one—bound to a group of strangers who seem even scarier than the alphas she ran from. Now, she has no choice but to come out swinging.
Serena has always been a survivor, but can she be an omega fit for champions? Or is life with the Thorne Pack another fight she’s destined to lose?
