KNOTTY OR NICE

Ari Wright

Release Date: November 5, 2026

Meet Ari Wright:
Ari Wright resides in a sun-soaked corner of the United States, where she spends her days raising
littles, cooking, reading, consuming massive amounts of music, and doing entirely too much
daydreaming.
Ari began writing novels at the age of twelve. A passionate book-lover all her life, her mother once joked
that she had to start writing her own stories because she had read everyone else’s. After fifteen years
of writing, Ari finally set out to author her debut contemporary romance novel. It has been her lifelong
dream to share the worlds inhabiting her mind with others. Welcome to her dream come true!

Blurb:
Naughty or nice... Why choose?
Aside from her name, Noelle has never been a particularly festive person—or a very lucky one. So
getting stood up by her supposed scent-matches two days before Christmas? Didn’t really surprise her.
Noelle can’t blame anyone but herself. Based on her past, she ought to have known better than to
believe her silliest wish had finally come true. This year, she vows things will be different. No more
holiday cheer or delusional dreams…
Until her match service calls to place her with a new pack of potential mates.
At their first meeting, Elias and Carson obliterate all of Noelle’s plans for a lonely holiday. Unlike her
other supposed “matches”, they truly want her. They’re also pretty much perfect. A kind, gallant pro-
goalie and a world-famous coach with just enough dominance to make her knees weak.
There’s only one problem.
Well, two problems.
It turns out, the nice alphas aren’t her only mates. She’s also an exact match for their professional
rivals—cocky hockey superstar, Xander, and his broody-but-menacing packmate, Jett.
She expects the challengers to back off once they see who they’re up against. Instead, Noelle’s not-so-
nice pack proves they’re to do whatever it takes to win her over.
Even if it means getting snowed in with their sworn enemies.

Knotty or Nice was a pleasant read, something new and different. Noelle is looking for her mate, and she's been. Match Scent gives you the possibilities of your match. Noelle is matched with two different packs.

Noelle's character is very emotional and carries baggage that has affected her and her wolf, and it doesn't help that her first match rejected her. She is also the sweetest thing you will ever meet.

The characters were fantastic; her mates have different personalities and lend something different to the potential mating. Some are softer; others are possessive; Elias comes with a dominant side, but all want her safe, protected, and theirs.

The dynamic between these male characters leads to fighting amongst themselves; alphas of their packs, which makes things difficult, as Noelle's wolf side knows these men are hers and it's impossible to choose. We loved how they stopped focusing on themselves and started concentrating on what Noelle needed to be happy.
Many heartfelt, touching moments will make you smile; the chemistry among them was pure fire. So many hot and sexy scenes will have you fanning yourself.
Elias was our favorite character; we felt the connection and chemistry that he had with Noelle was extra special. Jett came in second with his sexy self.
You have hot alpha wolves who are hockey players, all wanting to be your mate; what is a girl to do? We enjoyed this story because we found the characters awesome and the plot interesting, and we love diving into different worlds and exploring what an omegaverse world looks like.
As much as we enjoyed the story, I am not sure this is a world for me, or maybe I had a different idea of what it would look like. We knew more than one mate would be involved, but are they not shifters too? Do they ever let the wolf out? Are they always in human form, just connected to their bonded inner wolf? We think we need to explore this omegaverse world a little more and see if we will come to love these kinds of stories. However, we always love a good plot when paranormal comes with a cast of sexy hockey players.
