Knot Her Shot by Ari Wright

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What do you get when you put a happy-go-lucky hockey star, a controlling CEO, and a grumpy goalie together? One big mess.

They may be hockey’s Most Valuable Pack, but the Pierson alphas are far from a true team. The obvious solution? Find the right omega to bind them together. The match-making process sounds simple enough. Scientific, even. Until a sweet, shy omega runs right into their play for a mate and changes the whole game.

Remi thought she was ready for a team of her own.

After growing up without a family, and being passed over by foster parents, she always dreamed of finding her perfect pack. But when her big chance finally comes, it’s nothing like she imagined.

Could she really belong with this group of rough, rowdy, rude alphas? And, if she does, will they finally be the family that chooses her back?

Finding a pack was always her goal. But is Remi ready to take her shot?

🛡️ Audiobook Review: Knot Her Shot

Series: MVP: Most Valuable Pack, #2
Genre: Reverse-Harem Sports Romance / Omegaverse
Narrators: James Cavanaugh and Brooke Daniels

🦸🏼‍♀️ Heroine Spotlight: Remi

Remi’s story begins with heartbreak — abandoned as a baby and raised in the foster system, she learned early to mold herself into whatever version of “wanted” she thought might earn her a family. But no one ever chose her. That ache for belonging shaped her into a people pleaser, even as she grew up in a group home. Everything changed the day she discovered she was an omega — a revelation that led her to a specialized omega-only home, where she met Meg (heroine of Knot Her Goal). Before that shift, Remi had a quiet crush on a broody future alpha in her group home — a boy who would later reappear in her life in the most unexpected way.

🦸🏻‍♂️ Hero Spotlight: Smith, Cassian & Damon

Smith and Cassian are brothers bound by tragedy and resilience. After losing their parents young, Smith stepped into the role of protector and provider, eventually building a business empire that supports not just Cassian but their third packmate, Damon. Cassian, the gruff goalie nicknamed “Beastly,” and Damon, the charismatic center of the Orlando Timberwolves, are hockey stars with very different vibes. Damon’s charm draws puck bunnies like moths to flame, but lately, the spark has dimmed — he’s craving something real. Smith, ever the strategist and alpha, decides it’s time to find their omega and turns to a high-end matchmaking service to do just that.

📃 Plot Pulse

With wealth, stability, and a newly renovated home, the pack is ready to welcome an omega. Remi, weary of enduring painful heats alone and longing for the kind of love Meg found, agrees to try the matchmaking service — especially since Meg’s pack offers to cover the cost. But Remi’s nerves spike when she learns she’ll be matched and meet her pack immediately. The twist? One of the alphas is her childhood crush. The joy of reunion is quickly complicated by the presence of Smith — someone she remembers for all the wrong reasons. Sparks fly, but not all of them are romantic.

💘 What Hit Home

• The pack’s dynamic is beautifully balanced — each man distinct in personality, yet complementary. Their differences make them stronger together and perfect for Remi.
• Smith may be polarizing, but I found him compelling. Yes, he’s abrasive at first — a control freak shaped by years of responsibility — but his growth is subtle and satisfying. His restraint, his quiet recalibrations, and his effort to listen rather than command made me root for him.

🧐 What Fell Flat

• Remi’s fearfulness felt inconsistent. Given her tough upbringing, I expected more grit and street smarts. Her vulnerability made sense in the context of longing to be loved, but her frequent tears didn’t quite align with someone who’s survived so much alone.

🎧 Narration Notes

Told through dual POVs, the audiobook features James Cavanaugh and Brooke Daniels. James brings a warm, masculine tone, though his character differentiation could use polish — it was occasionally tricky to track who was speaking. Brooke Daniels, on the other hand, is a standout. Her voice fits Remi perfectly: expressive, age-appropriate, and effortlessly immersive. She doesn’t sound like she’s reading — she sounds like she’s living it.

📝 Final Takeaway

This story blends emotional vulnerability with pack dynamics, second chances, and the ache of finally being chosen. While not perfect, it delivers heart, heat, and healing — especially for listeners who love layered alphas and heroines who find their voice.
