Publisher's summary

Devan Puckett is a rising star in the culinary scene. A well known chef with his own cooking show, he lives and breathes meats and vegetables, grains and fruits...and his years-long rivalry with Ori Wilson.

Ori Wilson is a confident omega. Sassy and irreverent, he's not about to let any alpha show him up...especially not Devan Puckett. He's been overshadowed by that particular alpha enough - first in culinary school, and then by Devan's commercial success.

When the local network pairs Ori and Devan together for a show test-tasting their way across California, neither man believes it will pan out. They're at each other's throats constantly - which turns out to be exactly what the viewership wants.

The pressure is on to deliver as the ratings climb the charts, but when Ori finds himself going into heat mere hours before an important shoot, will simple biology be the undoing of their joint career? Or will the animosity between them spark into something far more dangerous - and delicious?

Knot the Enemy is a wolf shifter mpreg romance audiobook with a guaranteed happily ever after. It is the fourth audiobook in the Howling Hills Heat series, where finding your fated mate isn't just a dream - it's destiny. This audiobook and every other audiobook in the series can be listened to in any order.

Food is our common ground, a universal experience.

~James Beard~
Ori & Devan were hilarious, I adored their banter and endless taunting. I completely understand why they got the show "Taste Buds" if this was actually on T.V. I'd watch every episode. I do wish this book was a little longer, just because it would have been fun to have more of the back and forth rivalry. Maybe even a couple of pranks played on each other, like how great would it have been to have the caramel apple onion in this story and capture either characters face on live T.V. I think the pranks were fun in Knot the Broseph but this book would have benefited from some of those moments. However, I still loved their relationship and how protective Devan became of Ori. I found that this book flowed a bit better than the first two in the series. It didn't have the silly fights or drama, were there issues? yes, but I felt like they were handled better in this story.
Chris was an awesome narrator, he really captured Ori's cheeky personality and Devan's Alpha attitude!!

Great Book

I love the storyline. I also liked how it connects to the other books in the series. The narrator did a great job with this book.

Cute short

I always enjoy stories from this author. I'm fond of the main pairing. I found the couple's banter amusing and interactions with each other sweet.

I liked listening to this narrator; he did a good job.

I'll continue with the series and recommend it.

Keep your friends close and your enemy even closer

Enemy to lover can be both fun and frustrating. Throw in some very steamy scenes and you have an enjoyable story. Thrown together as co-hosts of a food show after being long time rivals Devan, the alpha, and Ori, the omega, are in for a stormy start. I enjoyed the story, characters, and narrator. This is one of the best in the Howling Hills Alphas series.

Great read,better Audible

I have always found Liam's books enjoyable. The characters are flirty and comical. I enjoyed Ori the most,but also had trouble understanding putting up with Devon's whiny hide. Yes that was the one problem I had. Pull up your big boy pants as be an ALPHA. But he pulled it together in the end.The narrator was very good. His voice having a good time to it enhancing the listen.

Short and sweet, and a little hot too!

This was a really short story and it was very basic but it was hot as well as being pretty cute at certain parts. My gripes are more with the production of this; there was audio interference two to three different times (you know like that noise when your phone is too close to a speaker and it sounds like a high pitched beep) and I also noticed that the narrator repeats the same lines twice in a row at a few points. In my opinion, this is just laziness on the part of whomever produced the audio and I have no petience for that nonsense whether I'm pay . 99 or 99.00. Other than those few issues, the narrator made the audio worth it anyway with a nice voice and believable inflections. I don't think I'll buy the whole series at the moment but probably at some point. Oh, and don't use a credit because you can buy it outright for less.

enjoyed it

Would I listen to it again: yes
Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was I invested in the characters: yes
What did I like about the story? fun story with a good pace and likeable characters. The banter between Devan and Ori was amusing.

Devan and Ori are both strong personalities, ambitious and know what they want - and who they don't. Mother Moon on the other hand has a different opinion. Although there is a lot packed into just two and a half hours, i would have liked more backstory and detail on the development of the relationship for these two.

Narrator comment: I enjoyed Chris Shaunan's narration and think he has done a good job narrating Knot the Enemy. I had no problem distinguishing characters or feeling the emotions of the story.

Sweet &Sassy

If you like a side of sass and a sweet HEA you have found your next book. This a fast moving series lighthearted fun.

A Lot of Story...

... packed into a 2 1/2 hour audio.

Although the story is short, there is a lot of interaction between the MC's.

Ori and Devan are rival chefs, competing against each other in every field: vlogging, competitive cooking shows, clothing, vehicles. Each tries to one-up the other, and the animosity radiates between them.

They are hired for a reality show critiquing restaurants. The network is pleased to pit the two rivals against each other, expecting to see the sparks fly for the cameras. Right before the taping of an episode, Ori goes into heat. Wanting to save their jobs, Devan helps Ori through his heat. Is hate sex a thing? Getting to their happily ever after takes some twists and turns.

Narrator Chris Shaunan is a new to me personality. I am a fan! His voice is a bit husky, all masculine, and a pleasure to listen to. His interpretations of the characters are spot on. *dreamy sigh*

Devan and Ori

Nice addition to the series. I like Ori's spunky attitude. Devan made some huge errors and it seemed that Ori was a little too quick to forgive. I loved how the entire pack showed up for the baby shower. I would've liked to have seen why Ori and Devan fell for each other. What made them open their eyes and what did they notice about the other that made them fall in love? There are some fabulous moments and super spicy ones. I'm looking forward to seeing them in the next book.
