This is a sweet and cozy small town omegaverse, where a people pleasing teacher finds her pack, learns how to accept help, and grows in confidence throughout the book. For me, it was pretty saccharine, but I am not dinging for that because it is exactly as advertised and I will probably save the rest of the series for when I need a light feel good read with no real conflict (exboyfriend is rude and eventually gets put in his place). Logan, the quiet one, was obviously my favorite. Also, dont let the sweet as pie cover fool you. This book is extra extra chili peppers.

I’ve been a fan of Eliana Lee since Bond Dissolution, so I already knew she could write emotionally layered omegaverse with heart. Ivy is such a sweet, relatable character, and watching her slowly open up to the idea of being loved by not just one, but three amazing men was genuinely heartwarming.

The snowed in setup is not a new one, but the emotional depth and chemistry make it feel fresh. Rome is the golden retriever alpha, James brings the banter, and Logan’s the grumpy softie who steals scenes quietly. Their dynamic with Ivy is tender, respectful, and steamy in a way that feels earned.

So what can you expect in this book:
-Low angst, high comfort, sweet fuzzy feelings
-MMFM (Rome and James are bonded)
-Small town
-Snowed in
-Found family

It’s indeed cozy, like a warm blanket with just enough spice to keep things interesting. If you’re into found family, soft romance, and emotional healing, this one’s perfect for curling up with on a cold night.

Let's not forget the stunning cover art. It perfectly captures the ambiance and charm of this story.

Highly recommended

I really loved this book. I enjoyed the omegaverse aspects. Ivy goes into heat during a snowstorm and she attracts three very different guys. Ivy though isn’t sure about any of them or their relationship status. I absolutely love Eliana Lee books and this is no exception. I do think I enjoyed A Pack for Autumn a bit more than this one, but only by a little bit. I can’t wait for the next book in the Cozyverse universe.

Teacher Reality
Hyper-independence
Boundaries
Found Family
Seeing these characters come together was so cute! It warmed my lil heart. I’ll start by saying I enjoyed how they each had their own issues to work through and TWO of them are teachers! That’s what convinced me to read this and that part did not disappoint. Ivy cares deeply for her students to the point that she stayed late at school. This is a reality for teachers, along with the financial struggles of providing for your classroom and yourself. I also love Felix, very meddling in the townspeople lives.
Ivy makes a lot of progress throughout this book. I did get a bit frustrated with her at times, mainly around the middle, but I tried to put myself in her shoes. Although this book does have these topics, please note it’s heavy, heavy spice. I enjoyed it for a time and then it got a bit much for me so definitely make sure you’re in the mood for it when reading. Rome, Logan, and James are loving partners and they communicated! The care and communication was so good to see!

I love a good omegaverse and I’m so ready for the next installment of this cozy universe. And Felix is such a lil match maker !

This series is cute and cozy I loved it so much! Ivy’s character was so realistic! I also loved all the guys i honestly could never pick a favorite if I had to! Omg there’s so much I want to say but most of ut would just be me spoiling so I’m just going to say read it you’ll fall in love with it with them!!

This series warms my heart in every way. Through both of the first two books I was cozy and warm and full of light.
The spice? Immaculate. The MMC's? We need men like these in real life! The FMC? She is an actual angel, I need her to be my best friend.
The setting of the small beach front town with it's little shops and how their little girl group will hang out at the cafe and have long talks and gush to each other, it adds to the ambience without being boring or slowing the story down at all.
Absolutely adored how far the MMC'S went for the FMC to feel special and loved, even in the very beginning. They were devoted to her from the moment they laid eyes on her, all three of them. There was no question about it. It was SO CUTE.
I will be reading this series every fall and winter season for the rest of my life. I'm obsessed!

🐺 Tropes
- Grumpy Alpha × Sunshine Omega
- Found family & cozy pack dynamics
- Why-Choose romance (MMFM)
- Forced proximity
- Teachers who give everything and get little in return
- Low-stakes omegaverse with emotional depth (no shifting)

❄️ The Story
Ivy Winter is a fiercely independent omega and fifth-grade teacher who’s used to doing everything herself, at school, at home, and in life. She’s not looking for a pack, let alone romance. But when a snowstorm traps her in the school with three men......Rome (the music teacher), James ( beta vet), and Logan (a quiet, brooding alpha electrician) things get a little messy.

The storm triggers Ivy’s first mini heat, and what begins as instinctual attraction slowly unfolds into genuine connection. Each man brings something different to the table, but Logan? Logan is the quiet thunder. Big alpha energy, deeply misunderstood, and so emotionally rich. Ivy sees him in a way no one else has, and watching him open up was so sweet.

💬 What Worked
- Logan stole my heart.
He’s shy, emotionally layered, and quietly powerful. The way Ivy understood him without trying to fix him which was beautiful.

- Teacher representation was spot-on.
Ivy’s exhaustion, her passion, and her emotional labor felt so real. It’s rare to see educators portrayed with this much nuance and respect.

- The tension was just right.
No wild drama, just slow-burn intimacy, emotional growth, and a pack learning how to show up for each other.

- Spice level: cozy but satisfying.
The scenes are sensual and emotionally grounded, with strong consent and connection. It’s spicy and in tone but rich in intimacy.

- Cozyverse setting.
No shifting, no violence just heart, humor, and healing. Perfect for readers who want omegaverse without the usual intensity.


🤔 What Didn’t Quite Hit
- Ivy’s reluctance to accept help dragged a bit. It’s relatable especially for anyone who’s been independent for too long but I found myself wishing she’d lean into the support sooner. Like girl you have three hot guys willing to do anything for you, let them!

- James and Rome were sweet, but Logan’s emotional arc was so strong that they felt a little underdeveloped in comparison. I wanted just a bit more depth from them.

🎬 Final Thoughts
Overall, solid four stars and I’d definitely recommend it. Sweet, low-intensity, low-stakes cozy romance with some good spice and a strong emotional backstory. Minimal drama, a satisfying HEA, and OH the multiple POV epilogues? You already know I’m a sucker for those.



I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions stated are my own.

A Pack for Winter by Eliana Lee is written in first person multi POV. It is an omegaverse and this is the story of Ivy and her pack. It's an MMFM and hits all the cozy feels of a winter omegaverse.

Sometimes, a reader needs a bit of a cozy read. This is a classic Omegaverse novel, full of romance and spice ( alot of that spice!)
Our story is one of Ivy, a dedicated teacher and omega finding her pack. One day she's lugging a fish tank around for her students, and then next she's basically being courted by 2 alphas and a very special beta male. So special, she names her beta fish after her beta male.

There is nothing entirely stressful in this novel. Ivy and her pack go through some adjustment issues, and issues with her Ex. and some jealous co-workers, but overall... it is a delightful progression of a relationship pack. I admit I was hoping for more Christmas, but this book isn't really a Christmas novel even though Christmas happens in the novel.
I especially loved that many of the characters were from different backgrounds- this enriched the story without being the main focus.. This was very easy to read and I was able to finish it in a few sessions, very relaxing!

So, if you are looking for something that is VERY spicy (4+ chili peppers!) and very low stress, this is a read you'll want to pick up. Recommended with a cup of hot cocoa, and a cozy warm blanket

I love the heavy helping of steamy scenes paired with emotional bonds and development. So happy these are being traditionally published!

Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for providing me with an arc of a Pack For Winter.

This book was literally SOOOO cute and I loved every second of it! I have been in my RH era this year and I am loving the cozy Omegaverse vibes.

Ivy was a super relatable FMC, her character growth is currently living in my head rent free! And all of the male romance interest were soooooo swoon worthy 😍. I absolutely loved all of the part Felix played in this story, I am such a cat person so I ate those parts up. I really wish Starlight Gove was a real place.

One of my favorite omegaverse. I adore everything about Ivy Winter. She is my favorite kind of FMC. Independent; probably to a fault but she finds her guys who love her for it. I adore the budding bromance between the MMCs and the existing relationship between Rome and James. I love that Ivy is grown and has built her own life and I love that the four of them were able to grow together into an adorable loving pack. A for sure reread.

This is such a sweet OV story and I'm so happy to see it being trad published! I absolutely adore the small-town vibes of Starlight Grove and, of course, I love Felix.

Ivy was almost painfully relatable since she's such a people pleaser but I loved seeing her development with her pack as she learns that she doesn't (and shouldn't) have to change herself or give any part of herself up in order to be loved. The men were great also and it was so much fun to see the pack come together.

This story is cheesy (in a good way!), smutty, a bit emotional, and super sweet. The snowstorm truly put the cozy vibe in the Cozyverse! I liked the first book, A Pack for Autumn, but I liked A Pack for Winter a bit more and it can be read as a standalone.

Y'all im a sucker for anything omegaverse, I still blame Ali Hazelwood Bride for bringing me over to this side. But hey I have zero regrets! So when I saw A Pack for Winter available on NetGalley I jumped at it. And thankfully the publishing gods granted me an ARC of this book. I’m so happy I get to be apart of reviewing this book especially after discovering it was originally indie published and is now being trad published. The book universe definitely needs more books like this.

A Pack for Winter is a perfect cheesy and cute winter story. We have the perfect small town vibes, a literal cat as a mayor, and three swoon worthy men. I loved every freaking minute of this book. In fact I loved it so much I immediately went and purchased the first one in this cozy verse series because I just can’t get enough.

Ivy, James, Rome and Logan had me rooting for them from the very beginning. Their relationship moved fast which usually I have a problem with however I’m their situation it works out really well. Plus their relationship wasn’t perfect and they had bumps to work through. But they were open, communicative and adults throughout their entire journey. Watching them love and support each other seriously made my heart so happy. Plus on a side note Felix the cat you sky devil. Who would’ve thought I’d love an animal side kick as much as I do.

Overall, this was a fun, light perfect for winter omegaverse novel that I will hundred percent recommend to anyone. Especially if you are just starting out with the genre. Lastly big thank you to NetGalley & GP Putnam & Sons for the ARC for me to read and review

I have been meaning to read this book (and series) forever. I love an omegaverse, but this genre can be saturated with dark and heavy events. So the idea of an omegaverse series that doesn't include what is such a 'norm' in omegaverse is really fun.

I truly loved all of these characters. I'm obsessed with small-town teachers during winter finding love and this had TWO of them. Rome, an alpha, who is a music teacher feels special since I loved my orchestra teacher growing up. James, a beta, who is a veterinarian with a knack for being the reasonable voice. And Logan, an alpha, (and potentially my favorite) is an electrician for the city and is my dream man. Ivy, my sweet omega, definitely had her hands full with her dynamic pack who were determined to court her and prove they were worthy of her. Plus, I love that Ivy's girlfriends felt real. Their friendship dynamic was such a delight to read about. It felt exactly how my girls and I hang out and talk to one another.

I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series as they come out. Thanks to Netgalley and Putnam for the opportunity to read this early!

A Pack for Winter is a cozy omegaverse that is an absolutely delightful read. The small town vibes in the series are comforting and enjoyable, and these characters are a joy to spend time with. Ivy will appeal, particularly, to high achieving and perfectionistic readers. Seeing the other characters insist that she slow down and take time for herself is a balm.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC! I've been following along with Eliana's books, and really enjoyed A Pack for Autumn. This one was just as sweet and the scene of Ivy in the classroom?? idk it was hot. I loved the dynamic of Roman and James slowly bringing Logan in, and Lee does such a great job at forming the pack not just around Ivy, but showing the relationships between all the of the men and making sure each had their separate relationships and dates with Ivy. A must read for fans of reverse harem/omegaverse.

Thank you net galley for the opportunity to read and review. This book was a great read. It was very cute and cozy but had some very good emotional and serious moments without feeling too heavy. I honestly loved it and can’t wait to continue with the series.

I’m not a fan of this book because the writing was a huge disappointment to me. I was excited. But this one didn’t hit me.
