Knot Letting You Go

Scornedverse, Book 1

De: Lucy Scott Bryan

Narrado por: Shiloh James, Cooper North

They didn't want me then, but it seems like the boys from my past don't want anyone else to have me either.

We were always going to pack, but my teenage dreams were flipped upside down when they rejected me, leaving me bleeding and broken.

I survived and found my way. Now, I'm returning home a completely different person to pack with my new alpha. First, though, I have to put an end to what the boys from my past started.

Fate, though, has other ideas about us being finished. Chance meetings, half-truths, and my impending heat make for interesting times. And the advice from my girls about who I let back into my heart and body is as confusing as it sounds.

But what if we got everything wrong? What if our bond is like an eternal flame that will burn no matter what we face?

I guess I'm about to find out. Because when I find myself alone again, alphas that smell like cherries, falling rain, hot cinnamon donuts, and campfire, who make pretty promises about knot letting me go again, might be the only ones that can save me from the mistakes of our past and the threats to our future.

And we all might discover some second chances are worth the risk.

Knot Letting You Go features age gap and reverse age gap, a lot of smoking, hot sex, and heat scenes, and alphas hell-bent on getting their omega. Intended for mature listeners.

Just wow

I wasn't expecting a book like this. The pacing of this book was smooth and not what I was expecting. People complaining about how long this book is but I loved the length of the book and didn't get bored of reading it for a second. I was expecting a second chance romance but what I wasn't expecting was a actual groveling book. This book took every expectation and flipped them upside down. The men in this book made some mistakes but they don't see that at first, we go through the process of them realizing there mistakes during this book and that if they don't make up for those mistakes they will miss out. I loved that not all the original mates get a second chance, something happened to them to make them the villain. This book is a second chance, great groveling, a feeling a found family, and scent matches. This is a book I would recommend and I hate I left unread so long. The description the author gave for the book is nothing compared to the experience you will explore if you decide to read this book.

I absolutely love the story.

Love the story line and world building. Character building was good too. Nice amount of spice. The one thing I didn’t love is the narrators. The read great! Don’t get me wrong. A lot of stories on audible have horrific narrators. These two did a good job, but their voices didn’t fit the characters. Liz should have had a bit of an Italian accent and the other three guys should have sounded different. They all sounded exactly the same. Maybe reading the book a few times before listening skewed my thoughts on who the narrators should be, but these two kept pulling me out of the book.

Great story!

I love this story and the whole series! I love being able to listen to it as well as reading it.

Pretty good story

This was a pretty typical Omegaverse story. If that’s your jam, you’ll like it. I think I would have liked it better if there had been a different narrator. The female leads intonation and inflections irritated me.

I like that it was inclusive and included mm and mf spicy scenes.

The male characters were well rounded and interesting.

Worth the credit

Kept my interest, good narration

I debated about this one a bit. I finally decided that I would give it 4 stars.

I appreciated that the chapters were labeled with names. There wasn't any difference in the narration between the characters, so every time I paused and came back, I had forgotten who was speaking and had to go check. The narrators both have nice voices, it was just hard to keep straight with so many main characters.

I think the main issue is that not a lot actually happened in 15 hours. There was a bit of drama, but the main plot was resolved relatively quickly. This is probably not one I will listen to again, but it was entertaining.

just get through the first few chapters

this book starts out slow and a bit confusing and takes a little too long to get to the good points but once it does it does not disappoint.

Time I will not get back

Tons of filler and no real substance. It’s crude sex with some story mixed in.

Not Worth It – A Mess of a Story

This book had potential, but poor execution ruined it. The biggest issue? It’s nothing but endless, exhausting dialogue—characters talk so much that the actual story, locations, and timeline get lost in the noise. The pacing is all over the place, transitions are sloppy, and events feel disconnected.

With a bloated cast—the female lead, her four mates, her father, three best friends, an ex-alpha and his mother, bodyguards, and a biker gang—the book drowns in long, pointless conversations that add nothing but frustration.

The timeline? Completely inconsistent. A key event (her heat) is supposed to last several days, yet somehow wraps up in two? Nothing flows naturally, and the lack of continuity makes it chaotic and confusing.

The narrators did a great job, but even their talent couldn’t save this disaster. By the final stretch, I could barely force myself to finish.

Final Verdict: If you want a well-written Omegaverse with solid pacing and engaging storytelling, this is not it. Save your time—there are far better reads out there.
