The Placebo Effect
A Mpreg Yaoi Romance
Sato Naoki’s relationship with Kaede Daichi has always been a bit... unusual. They have almost nothing in common, but despite that, they have been living together for over four years. Kaede is a handsome, older stockbroker, with loads of cash and loads of self confidence. Naoki is much younger than the successful businessman. He is very attractive, but shy and easily intimidated. He struggles to make it as a free-lance photographer, but generally spends most of his days as Kaede’s housekeeper. They just sort of ‘fell into’ a relationship and have meandered aimlessly along ever since, with no discussion of commitment or the future.
They do have a great sex life, and the one thing they both enjoy is a bit of role-play in the bedroom. The fantasy that gets Kaede hot like nothing else is the thought of getting little Naoki pregnant and as much as it embarrasses Naoki, the thought of carrying Kaede’s baby arouses him too. From belly inflation to lactation kink, they discover that if it has to do with pregnancy, it gets them both hotter than they had ever imagined. As the two men fantasize in the bedroom about making a baby together, it begins to spill over into their everyday life. Soon, their Mpreg obsession begins to shape their entire life together and everything changes; from Kaede’s behavior to Naoki’s body.
But what does the Mpreg fantasy really mean to both Kaede and Naoki? Is it simply the yearning to have a child or is there a deeper significance hidden beneath that? If making a baby is the most permanent bond two people can forge, what does that say about how they really feel about one other? What does it say about how they both truly feel about their casual, ‘commitment free’ relationship? And, once these two idiots-in-love finally realize where their true desires lie, what would they do if their impossible fantasy actually came TRUE?!
This is a tender, touching tale about an old relationship that evolves into something new. It is a story about two people, too afraid to take the next step, until they learn how to take it together.
Sometimes, just changing the way you think, changes everything.

It was a very interesting and unique take on Mpreg and as always, boys, did Miss Rae deliver it! 😍 And it was such a sexy, little kinky read. 😉 I especially loved the lactation kink part. And what I really like about Amelita Rae’s works is if you just look at them on a glimpse, they might appear nothing more than sexy, filthy erotic reads but she always tells us something in her stories, something that would remind us of the things that we so easily take for granted in our daily lives. 🙂 And it was lovely to get reminded that we need to voice our feelings and emotions to the ones we love because no matter how deeply we feel for them, without the words, they won’t have any idea about our feelings. And I’m happy that Naoki and Kaede got their happily ever after! A very kinky and sexy happily ever after! 😘

3.5 stars! Ms. Rae delivers another kink-laden story that may not be for everyone, but the journey is always fun.

One of the most intriguing plot lines I've run across in a long time. I don't want to spoil it but if you fancy lactation and mpreg as kinks for your MM this is a definite buy. It's all wrapped in a romance - so you get 2 for the price of 1. I just discovered this author and binge read today 5 books. Really excellent for those who are kinky and have fetishes of the maybe not normal BDSM type and who want to explore a bit of alternative reality - whether that's sort of alternate universe, SciFi, etc. Give this one a go!

A short cute Mpreg.
It was utterly adorable and unlike any other Mpreg that I have every read.
Amelita Rae is quickly becoming one of my fave dirty MM authors.

I genuinely don't know what I'm doing these days...
It's the kinkiest weirdness I've ever read but... I just am a sucker for weirdness right now, apparently. Or not.
I mean, the rating isn't so much for the odd kinks (lactation, Mpreg, belly love) 'cos if you read this you gotta know you're in for a weird-ass ride but, well, the writing wasn't great and it was all pretty laughable.
Ok, fine. The creepy kinks just don't help, either.

This book is like...kinks on crack haha. It's got the rich older man and younger poor student trope. Chubby kink. Breeding kink. Lactating kink. Mpreg kink. See?!
But what I liked was that there actually was a plausible reason for Naoki becoming pregnant, and hey, it kinda worked for me. I don't really read Japanese specific Yaoi type of stories, but enjoyed this one. It was sweet, hot, and definitely kinky. Not for everyone, but mpreg lovers might really enjoy this!

This book was a sweet gem of a book. I was expecting it to be long on sex without much feeling. There was a lot of feelings. The book starts with a established couple that have trouble communicating. They love each other but even after being together for four years they don't tell each other. The book takes a unbelievable subject and handles it in a way that is truly unique. It was heartwarming and hot.

3.5 Probably would have been 4 even though it's so 'trope-y' but at 95% it just got hokey and the dirty talk was meh. So! Typical yaoi. Big, brawny top (you can't tell from the cover) - check; small, almost childlike bottom - check; wealth imbalance - check; huge disparity in physical endowment - check; Fanfic-ish writing style - check.
Then it gets interesting - Male pregnancy (belly) kink, mpreg (non omega), lactation kink. It's definitely 'different'. A fun, quick read.

So very kinky! Will definitely not be for everyone or hardly anyone. Read the warnings in the blurb before delving. This was borderline for me, not the kinks, I was super ok with them and quite frankly it was just what I needed, but how the whole ending evolved.
I wanted something strange and kinky and knew Rae would give it to me.

Oh, My!!! Cute and kinky novella. MPREG with dirty sex talk, pregnancy fetish and breastmilk fetish.

Holy Cow!!
Really like this kinky mpreg story. All along the story I kinda think "this isn't make sense at all" to "but hey it could be make sense too!!" XD

Can't put my finger on why it wasn't 5 stars, it just didn't give me the same feeling as some of the others by this author. I think perhaps there was a slight lack of character development but that's not why you read these.
Breeding kink. Lactation kink and an actual pregnancy (which is scientifically explained).
Very hot

Woah, this was a good story!
I'm no stranger to mpreg books, but this was the first time that I've read a male pregnancy kink story. I wasn't sure if I'd like it, to be honest, but the storytelling was great and I liked both characters, and their motivations, so it worked for me.
I really liked that the prologue tells us that much of their early relationship stress could have been solved with simple communication, and the story picks up just before they figure it all out. I often get frustrated with characters who are too stubborn to talk to each other, so it was a huge deal for me that this was skipped!
The science/fact behind this pregnancy was pretty mind blowing too - 1 in 7.3 billion!
There were only 2 things I wasn't a fan of:
The lactation kink turns out to not be my thing. But that's okay.
I didn't like that they referred to him as the 'mother'. In my mind that's a strictly female terminology, and despite how things happened, he still identified as male. (I actually prefer the term 'bearer' as I've seen used in shifter mpreg stories)
Overall - this was another surprise from this new-to-me author. I'm going to keep going!

Interesting story ....
...
of two men who cannot tell each other their true feelings.
Kaede is a strong powerful, tall dark and handsome character, whereas Naoki is smaller in all ways and has a secret even he did not know.
Their relationship is one of opposites, which promotes uncertainty. Kaede is a typical alpha male and Naoki was trying to make his own way in life.
They both share one major fear that plays out in this story.
They slip into a role play that takes on a life of it's own.
The story is very centred around Kaede and Naoki. The research the author did into the circumstances, enhances the story extremely well. It is all surprising but you can sort of see it happening.
Great characters and a sweet ending.

I started out this book intrigued about a couple having a pregnancy kink. The book started out being all about that and how both partners figuring out what the other liked strengthened the relationship.
I loved the pregnancy part of the book. I didn't mind the kink and loved the ending. The only thing about the book I had a little bit of a problem with was that it read more like a fairy tale. You felt like someone was reading you a story. I prefer feeling like I am in one of the characters heads and having a specific point of view. That is probably the only thing I didn't like though.
Overall, I enjoyed what happened. I love the subjects that were dealt with. I loved the ending. I just wish it had been written in one or the other main characters views.

I fell in love with this book as soon as I started reading it. The kink that Kaede and Naoki have is different then anything else I have ever read. I think its interesting that even though they are so different they were able to make it work and not split up after such a long period and then something so sweet could bring them together as they were truly meant to be. Going to read again and again.

I am a Rae feen, pretty sure I've read all of her works now. They're just so dirty, so out there, so delicious I can't help coming back for my Rae fix, she has these two archetype characters she reuses in every book but I am completely okay with that. The blond twink photographer and the big daddy are are a crowd pleaser and it works every time for me. This story was unbelievably sweet and I'm so glad Rae shares her stories with her depraved loyal followers.

Interesting compared to all the other m/mpreg stories i have read. This book is backed by scientific evidence which i find quite interesting. As a couple Kaede and Naoki were so adorable. Well the only thing i found weird was the belly kink ( not judging everyone has one).
I will be reading more of this authors work as i found this one intriguing

Enjoyed
As the saying goes - sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Hot steamy MM sex and I also enjoyed the story line. One of those weird (but enjoyable) story you won't be able to put down.

Absurd but sweet
This mpreg romance is silly, but very sweet, and the author has thoughtfully included a link to the research paper detailing the ACTUAL, AUTHENTIC MPREG she based the story around.
