An Mpreg Romance

A hotshot lawyer desperate to start a family. A star baseball player who's been screwed out of his future.

Ty Cunningham comes from old money, but he's never been content to live on privilege. He's the youngest partner in his firm, and the only omega partner. He's worked hard to get where he is, and he's proud of what he's accomplished. One thing is missing - a child to share it with.

Carter Bowman has it all. Drop-dead looks, a fantastic career, and a baseball All Star. The one thing he doesn't have is money sense. When he falls prey to a scam artist posing as a financial advisor, he's close to broke. A buddy suggests he marry for money - Carter hadn't planned to get married until his career was over, but he's desperate.

A contract with Ty seems like the ideal solution, but what happens when feelings and family get in the way?

Sizzling, unmitigated passion. A spark of love. Tough decisions and moral dilemmas… this gay mpreg omegaverse tale has it all.

Let me set the stage.
Tyler/Ty, 30, is a successful lawyer, and a partner in the firm, has two cats, but he's a lonely Omega. His brother Keegan, 40, is obnoxious, but cares about his brother. Ty's creepy ex, Sebastian is back in town, in cahoots with Keegan and Ty's horrible dads, Ed and Beau. Everyone wants Ty's inheritance.

Alpha Carter, MLB player, isn't a hard core alpha, but he's a sweet hunk, who was caught in a Madoff type scheme. Keegan drags Ty to meet Carter at a bar, and Keegan wants the two to get married temporarily, so Ty can have a baby, his dream, a child all his own, to love.

In the midst of baseball season, court cases, and life, Carter and Ty find out that they really like each other, and their like turns to love. We get hot sexy times, even though their schedules are tight. Interference comes from Sebastian, Ed and Beau, plus something shady is going on.


I like the way our men gradually realize their situation is a good thing. Marvelous, different characters with a twist and turn plot.

Our men get more that they expected.
ENJOY !

Contract Baby

I always enjoy this author’s work. He does a great job of creating a variety of characters! The one thing I don’t like is the bonus content only being available by mailing list.

So this book was weird. The plot was...simple. It was kind of predictable, in a sense. But I felt a lot of things were hinted at, or set up as possible problems, only for them to amount for nothing. As a result, this felt like a very straightforward plot. At the same time, this book was way longer than it needed to be. It rambled at times, things got repeated a bunch. And at 45% of the way through, the couple was already together with the baby on the way. I mean, I was happy to get more of them together and coupley but the remaining 55% was mostly cyclical drama involving Sebastian and Ty's awful parents with almost nothing changing except Ty's pregnancy progessed.

While I'm on the parents: they were kind of like cartoon villains. They were awful and we never even got a single good explanation for their motives. Ty and Keegan entertaining their parent's bullshit went on way to long. There comes a point where you just have to stop picking up the phone, and here that point came a smidge too late for me.

Also, personal pet peeve, we got a lot of court room drama stuff in this. And I just...don't like it. If it's anything more than a vague "I'm a lawyer that does lawyer things" it bothers me. This isn't the worst, but it still isn't my favorite thing to read. We got a lot of weird detail in general, though. Like I said, it was longer than necessary.

So yeah, nothing spectacular. The sex was subpar. The relationship between Ty and Carter felt shallow and moved at an awfully strange pace. At least Keegan was kind of entertaining.

Contracts and creeps

This book had me hooked early on and I just had to keep going until I finished! With interesting characters and the absolute creepiest of circumstances, I was desperate by the end to see how it all turned out and couldn't be happier with the read!

From the start Tyler and Carter were interesting characters. Tyler is an omega who chose work over family- at least that's how it is first presented. Really, he chose that he wanted to actually work and all of the alphas his family set him up with weren't okay with that, so Tyler decided if he had to have one or the other it would be work, since family never brought much joy in his experience anyway. Tyler is told by his family and the blue blood society he sees that he is over-the-hill, undesirable, and boring for an omega. So when his brother Keegan says that the only way he'll ever get a kid is through an arranged marriage for money, Ty believes that and agrees.

Carter is an alpha and a pro-baseball player. While he is doing well in his career and in the spotlight, he made the bad decision of where to put his money and was scammed out of it all by a fake financial advisor. Now desperate for something to tide him over until the next season starts up, this fake marriage sounds alright if a little uncomfortable. Carter isn't ready to just let things be contractual though, and tries to get to know Ty and how he'll be with their baby. Soon Carter sees through the walls and the crap Ty has been put through, and finds the strong loving man underneath. Carter is the first to realize that what has made Ty so undesirable for marriage is his parents and their crazy ideas, not Ty himself. Carter sets out to give it a real go if Ty will have him.

The build up of the relationship between the two is lovely and sweet. In essence they are an arranged marriage, though the money and baby deal of it means it was never for romance. However, the two bring their hopes and dreams into it together, and really start to build something. It felt natural and amazing.

While all of this is going on, the crazy is happening with Ty's family. In some very uncomfortable and increasingly disturbing instances through the book, Ty's parents make it known that they don't approve of the marriage and try to get him to marry a proper alpha. When it becomes them trying to marry him off to a particular alpha things get more intense and even a little disturbing. I was on edge to see what would happen next in these crazy family circumstances.

The characters building this story were fascinating and unique. With ones like Ty's big brother, Keegan, who seems to be alpha fray-boy extraordinaire, and Tracy the mean coach, it seems things will be odd at first. But as they develop into these fascinating people; from Keegan being the biggest defence to Tracy being half supportive and half destructive; the story really is infused with life.

I loved how, at least between the main characters, the alpha and omega roles weren't staid and traditional. Tyler is an omega who wants kids, yes,but he is also an amazing lawyer. When things go down, sure Carter wants to run out and bash some heads in. But he realizes that while Ty wants his support,he doesn't need it that way, and instead lets Ty use his awesome legal brain to defend them. It makes it a tense and drawn out situation, but the story stays alive and interesting throughout. A well written read that I thoroughly enjoyed!

I will finish this book, has been my whole mantra during the six hours it took me to read it. Simply because Mama raised no quitter.

So, let's break it down:

Ty is an omega hotshot lawyer, whose biological clock is ticking.
Carter is an alpha baseball player, whose recently been swindled out of his money.

The two decide to enter into a contract marriage and hijinks ensue!

Now, to be honest I've always steered clear of mpreg/omegaverse stories. But this one really caught my attention -yes,
I'm a sucker for contract marriage tropes - sue me. The blurb and first nine chapters were really giving me something good. Then, wow..things got weird. To sum it up we had;

A crazy ex
garbage ass parents
A murder mystery ???

And other stuff in between.

Ty's character was okay, but I could've done without the constant self-loathing. Plus, when he does try to compliment himself
"So what if I'm alone, I'm a successful lawyer"

I laughed unabashedly because where is the lawyer success he speaks of? It was barely there, throughout the whole book.

Carter's a sweetheart, naive yeah. But a sweetheart nonetheless. He gives kindness and love to Ty, that would make anyone swoon.
However, that goes out the window when that came to Tracy. His friend/couch by day and the guy who knows people (cause he's
about that life and shit) at night. Tracy says some pretty awful things about Ty continuously in this book and the fact that Carter does nothing
but grounds his teeth is embarrassing.

But, faults aside they're in love. I got to 51%, still saying my mantra mind you, and all I could think was "What? they're
in love now, how did I miss that?" Love must be blind indeed, cause I missed their whole profession of the love scene.

Did I mention Ty had garbage parents? The dialogue between him and his parents was so uncomfortable, I wanted to hit them

Then there's Keegan, Ty's alpha older brother. The Bachelor who doesn't want to settle down loves to drink boujee alcohol and had questionable fashion choices.
I would've liked him if his characterization wasn't written all over the place. Cause one minute he's a douche(who also says terrible things about Ty), and the next he's the super older brother, swooping in to save the day. I just couldn't buy it, man, no matter how many times the author tried to sell it to me.

The Crazy Ex? He's garbage and needs to be thrown away. Ty and I need to have a long talk because dude; "This is your ex?"

Speaking of dudes, Keegan says dude and bro so many time in this book I wanted to scream. Like dude. No dude. Says dude. So constantly.. dude.

So overall, this book let me down cause it and I could've had something. I guess me and the mpreg genre still aren't meant to be.

This is the 2nd book in the Helion Club series

Ty Cunningham is not only the youngest partner in his law firm but the youngest Omega partner. Although he comes from old money, he never used that as a crutch. He has worked hard to get to where he is and the road to success came with some ups and downs. He takes great pride in is work and can't imagine doing anything else. Ty's last relationship ended badly and he is in no hurry to get back into one. The one thing, however, that Ty longs for is a child.

Alpha Carter Bowman is a professional baseball player. He is on top of his game and his career will only be getting better. The one thing that Carter isn't successful at is managing money. He was scammed out of most of his money by a con artist posing as a financial adviser. He is in desperate need of money and needs to come up with a solution fast. A friend of Carter's proposes he marry into money.

Ty is somehow convinced by his brother, Keegan, to enter into a marriage contract with an Alpha in order for him to have a baby. Ty knows he isn't getting any younger so he reluctantly agrees. He doesn't even get to meet Carter before they head down to City Hall to say "I Do". Things are of course awkward at first but Carter makes a valiant effort to get to know Ty. He wants to get under that tough exterior Ty seems to have. There is an obvious attraction between the two of them Carter just wants to get to know the man who is his husband. Ty may be confident in his abilities as a lawyer, but when it comes to being a man, not so much. He has been beaten down emotionally by not only his ex but his parents. He can't make himself believe that Carter would actually want to spend time with him and feel anything for him at all.

I was not able to put this book down. Carter and Ty are a great story and although they started off in an unconventional way, I was cheering for them 100%. I have never read more vile characters than Ty's parents. All I can say is WOW and there is a special place in hell for them. One of my favorite characters was Ty's brother Keegan. He stole the show for me. His antics and personality had me laughing till I cried. I hope he gets his own book because that will be quite entertaining. I was sad to finish this book because Ty and Carter quickly became two of my favorite characters to read.

Ty is an omega who has been burned by relationships in the past and also his parents marriage isn't a stellar advert on relationships either, so he throws himself into his work as an extremely successful lawyer for a firm that is all about family values and decides to give up on finding a partner as he doesn't really think that love exists for him even though he yearns for a baby. Tys brother Keegan who I absolutely love and is hysterically funny and flamboyant offers to set him up with an Alpha who is a member of the same Helion
club he frequents as Ty isn't getting any younger and he can't have a baby without being married because his law firm would frown on a child out of wedlock. Carter is a major league baseball player who is an acquaintance of Keegans and has been duped in a financial fraud investment scam and lost all of his money and is in a jam so he agrees to a contract to marry Ty and give him a baby in exchange for some of Tys inheritance, no muss no fuss they both get what they want. Ty gets married in a simple wedding at the court house, Carter's witness being his coach who thinks it's ridiculous and insults Ty who goes home where Carter turns up later and they have rather clinical sex to get it over with and try to impregnate Ty as quickly as possible, they gradually spend more time together and realise they actually love each other and go on dates where we meet Tys ex Seb for the first time who throughout this book I wanted to slam his head in a door and commit multiple ways to murder him, what an entitled bigoted bastard and another 50 names I probably can't mention here. He's not happy about Tys marriage and proceeds to go on a psychotic journey with Tys parents with so many twists and turns and suspense and plots and dirty tricks all you can think is NO! WTF what next. You will so enjoy this book with it's twisty plot and suspense and humour and a million other facets and take the ride with each character right until the end. Very well written and all characters were well developed as was plot and storylines. I really enjoyed this. I hope Keegan gets a book at some point it will be hilarious. I received an free advanced review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Book Two of the Hellion Club omegaverse series (which is available in a box set, so I found out later. Get the box set. It’s cheaper. I’m still not happy about that…)

Unlike the Frat Boys Babies series, the connection between this book and its box set mates is the Hellion Club, a gentleman’s club for alphas to meet and greet and discuss business as well as other salacious activities if so desired.

As a flip, Ty Cunningham – a killer attorney who eats nails for breakfast – is a very successful omega in an alpha’s world. Unfortunately, being an attorney is all he knows, having been born of privilege. Unfortunately, he had to be the younger brother of Keegan Cunningham, the leading member of the finances committee of the Hellion Club who doesn’t have a fashion sense at all.

It’s the ol’ I-need-fake-husband-to-get-money scam but we’re talking the mpreg sub-genre. It’s a great distraction from when I’ve seen this plot used in straight romance novels. And, yes, there is the disgusting ex-fiancé who shows up sniffing around. It’s a fun romp, but it made me wonder what to expect for Book Three. Would it be as predictable as Book Two?

If there is something that really annoyed me was the use of the word “weird”. “It’s like really weird” and “Isn’t it weird?” Sorry, Aiden, but you used up your lifetime allotment of the word “weird” in this novel. Even in my long marriage, I doubt I used that word that many times, and we were an unusual couple.

Another thing that annoyed me was the flip-flopping of POVs in the same chapter section. Almost made me vomit from motion sickness. No, I’m not being snarky. It was unsettling to the eyes who are used to speed-reading and don’t appreciate these kind of speed bumps. Now I see why people in their reviews are quite specific when they mention what the POVs are.

And, as always, Keegan is in true form. Maybe that’s why I end up reading the entire series. Just to see what comes out of Keegan’s mouth. Or ends up on his body.

A truly unique story in the Alpha/Omega world with Mpreg. I wasn't sure what to expect going in to this as it was a new author for me but I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Our omega, Ty, has fought many battles to get where he is in life and he hasn't let anyone else's opinions persuade him onto a different path. He is strong, loving, and dedicated. Carter, the Alpha that comes into his life, is unlike the other Alphas in this story which is a very good thing. Even though these two start off very unconventionally, Carter makes the necessary effort to be there for Ty. Ty's brother was, well he was entertaining and every time he would show up I found myself chuckling and wanting to high five him for all that he was doing for his brother. The story itself is full of meddling, hateful, irritating parents and an extremely distasteful ex that try everything they can to come between Ty and Carter but watching how these two dealt with everything that was thrown at them will make you believe in the strength of relationships again. Ty and Carter believed in each other and supported each other, talked through everything, and communicated properly which kept the bad eggs from being able to win. I'm looking forward to the next story in this series and since I skipped the first one I will probably go back and read it as well. I have yet another author to add to my reading list.

My reason for lowering the overall and performance star levels were the narration, not the story. The story is awesome, the narration I wasn't exactly a fan of. I had to speed it up to 1.20x to be able to bear it and then there were certain voices that the narrator would use that made me cringe. I was enjoying the story too much to stop listening though which says alot for this author's talent.

Ty and Carter - an unlikely couple for sure, but what a wonderful couple they turned out to be! Ty is an omega and a hardworking, devoted lawyer who lives a pretty solitary life. He's been unsuccessful in the relationship department but that hasn't stopped his desire to have a baby. Carter is an All-Star baseball player in the prime of his career, but financially he's a bit of a mess after he lost his money to a scam. A meeting with Ty's quirky brother, a contract and boom these two are married - Ty gets his baby and Carter gets some money.

I really fell for these two, hard! Pretty quickly these two start having real feelings for each other and decide to make this marriage real between them and it was just the sweetest. The twist with this journey is Ty's creepy ex and his awful parents, man what craptastic characters! They have it in their heads that Ty's future is up to them, he is to obey and do what is expected. Except that is not Ty at all and now that he and Carter have found real love together, following any part of the twisted path his dads are trying to set isn't going to happen and as hard as they try it actually pushes Carter and Ty closer together.

I enjoyed this story from start to finish, these characters growing on me right away. I loved the way Carter saw Ty, the way he supported him and gave him balance! Neither of these guys expected to find happiness but that's exactly what they got and they complemented each other so perfectly! I think there's a great balance of the drama and the sweet, keeping me on my toes with this group. A fantastic addition to this series!

Ty Cunningham is an omega whose family comes from old money. He hasn't let it define his life though and has pursued a successful career in law against his parents wishes and expectations. He only lacks one thing and that is starting a family of his own. When his brother brings up a proposition that may help him in this regards. Ty considers it.

Carter Bowman is an alpha and a well known baseball player. He has a successful career and is content with his life. The only little hiccup is that he's fallen for a ponzi scheme that put him a bit of dire straits financially. When an associate approaches him with a proposition to marry for money he's a bit wary but the idea seems to be perfect with his situation being as it is.

The first meeting between the two don't go well but as Ty and Carter get to know each other they find the other more and more appealing but when disapproving family members and someone from Ty's past shows up things become more complicated.

I enjoyed seeing the blossoming relationship between Ty and Carter. They were likable characters and I liked that they were a bit like minded when it came to expectations in a loving relationship. It was a bit of a vexing read with the lack of communication between them when it came to what they wanted out of the relationship because they were both worried and insecure about what the other wanted. I was a bit sad about how Keegan viewed relationships and am hoping we'll get a book where he's not so disenchanted about a loving relationship. Ty's parents and Seb were hard characters to like.

Fake marriage? I'm on!
Ty is a well-known lawyer. I don't know what comes into Keegan's unexpected brain but one day he suddenly became a matchmaker for his lil' brother. Not sure what his intention is.
I also don't know if he did some scanning to Alphas' profile for his brother because in this story, he just marched into the Hellion club and snatched Carter.
They got married the next day and of course there are villains. Like the book before, the villains are a conventional family's belief. Along with the ex-fiancé, Seb.
Their beliefs are so toxic and sickening. I guess the overall atmosphere in this story more or less the same like the book before. Well, here the couples are so lovey-dovey 'tho. I don't see any couple fights here, just a little bit of doubt here and there because who I can blame? They started on as fake husbands.
Carter himself is a nice Alpha. An athlete. A famous baseball player, especially after all the games his team has won.
He was a victim of scam and lost all his money and (I think) the sole reason he accepts Keegan's offer. The story also refers between this scam and Seb's involvement in his last job that made him ran out outside of country. I think the scam involved Seb but not so sure...

The next book? Still in term with "fake marriage" and I can't wait to read it!

Unlikely mates + ex-fiancé + blue blood parents - WOW!

I love Ty and Carter because they were such an unlikely pair. Ty, blue blooded rich omega, is a lawyer who is a shark in the courtroom. Carter, hot baseball player, has lost a lot of money by a thieving investment advisor. Ty wants a baby and Carter needs money thus they sign a contract AND get married!

I love Ty, outside of the law office/courtroom he is a sweet kind hearted man who just wants a baby,

“And he’d know he’d been loved. That made all the difference. When he’d signed the contract with Carter, he’d wanted a baby for himself. He wanted someone to exist who cared for him, who had some kind of connection with him and who would notice when he died. Now that same baby would be a living testament to the fact that Ty had lived, and someone had loved him. Even if Ty didn’t make it out of this alive, his child would go on and prove to the world that Ty was worthy of love.”

Carter is a very decent, kind man who treated Ty well despite the circumstances of their marriage. Because Carter was so wonderful to Ty they start to fall in love. This is a great story which I’ve read a couple times to thoroughly immerse myself in their personalities.

Aiden Bates, your writing and stories are wonderful and have become an automatic buy for me!

Pretty good but....

Well this book had a pretty good start but seemed to lag at a little over half way through it to me seemed that the writer needed to write so many word and/or have so many chapters to fill and just didn't know what to write about so they put in boring filler crap about batting average and pitching and filling out paperwork blah,blah ect...because they had no other ideas for it I'm mean I dont even like baseball it's boring it's like right up there with golf and fishing I'd pay not to watch so I certainly don't want to read about it for ten pages because you ran out of ideas to continue the story line . The conclusion was also very much a let down I was looking forward to a big show down but all you got was....they went court and everything turned out great in the end! I was like WTF? So I'm giving this 3 1/2 star because although it had some problems it was pretty entertaining read that got my attention but still kind of a let down because it obviously could have been a great book if more thought had been put in it ( no disrespect to the writer though) all in all I'll read more from this writer in the future ✌

Ty is a partner in a law firm he’s an omega and he’s 31 years old and he hasn’t had a partner in 18 months but Ty’s not interested he has his job and his cats. Ty’s brother Keegan wants to set up Ty with a man from the Hellion club to get married and have a baby so Ty reluctantly agrees but Ty wants to draw up the contract. Carter walks into the Hellion club he’s an alpha and plays baseball, Keegan goes up to him and gives Carter a proposition about marrying Ty and giving him a child for money and Carter seriously considers it then he agrees. Ty and Carter get married things are very awkward but as they go along and get to know each other they get closer and feelings come to the surface. It’s only supposed to be a contract wedding and making a baby but it’s so much more between them. I loved Keegan he was such a funny character and the clothes he wore were absolutely outrageous, Ty’s and Keegan’s parents were absolutely horrible and Sebastian well you will have to read this book to find out about him. I loved everything about this book and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

I liked the premise of this book more than the first one, though I still found Carter a bit bland compared to Ty. I would have rather seen their relationship develop more slowly and maybe with a bit more reluctance on one or both sides. Instead, we once more get over-the-top dramatics. I would have been fine with maybe Seb coming back into the picture because he was broke and needed money, but the whole murder plot and the involvement of Ty's parents was a bit much.

Than there is Tracey, who started off Carter's manager, but switched to being his coach about 1/3 of the way in. And the fact that he acts like such a staunch defender of Carter when it comes to Ty, but when the going got tough, he just rolled over. And then the whole issue was just glossed over anyway.

And the ending felt incredible rushed. Maybe if there wasn't so much drama crammed into it, the book could have ended with slightly better pacing. I'm still holding on to hope that the third book may be a little less dramatic, but I won't hold my breath.

What in the every living frack. I don't know what the author is doing. He has had some true gems in the mpreg genre but this is just NO!!! And again the romance part was done extremely well. But the main plot is a mess. Sure the contract part is all cute and lovely; but again we are force fed another crazy ex and a group of parents that are in on it. This series is by far the worst this author has ever done. While there are parents that are total db's, I have found more often that not that the parent wants whats best for their child. I kept hoping that there would be an plausible explanation as to their actions. Being framed, or something. But no, they are just crazy for crazy sake. And to make matters worse the author heightens the desire to know the reason throughout the whole book and then NOTHING. Grrrrr.
Originally I gave the first book 2 stars but am lowering it to match this one. As the series as a whole is not good.

Wow!! Aiden did it again with another series"Hellion Club" that just rocks my world. I loved the first one, but I like this one so much better. We had humor, suspense, chemistry and the love growing between an omega, Ty and an alpha Carter. I love the mpreg universe and Aiden has his own mark on this genre. Ty and Carter meet in the unlikely circumstances of his brother, Keegan's, helpful ploy in getting Ty a baby. Such an unromantic start to this romance: a contract between two unlikely people ever to meet for a baby. Carter is a professional baseball player and the odds of Ty and Carter actual meeting without the "contract" slim to none. It such an awesome read. I read in one sitting. We have a cast of characters that totally rock this book: vibrant Keegan, their atrocious parents, Ty's slimy ex-fiance and the baseball manager Tracy. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mpreg universe, humorous, nice chemistry and the slight suspense should give this a try. Aiden Bates is a wonderful writer. I like the way he writes: his sentence structure, word usage, and his gosh-darn imagination. Aiden has lots of books to try out. I would recommend him to anyone who is ready for entertaining and enjoyable reads.

I loved this second book in the Hellion Club series even more than the first one. Arranged marriages are okay as long as the Omega's family is setting everything up. But when an Omega / law partner decides to draw up a contract for himself in order to get a husband and have a baby before he got older, it was like declaring war.

While the Omega has his very funny brother's support and encouragement his parents are apoplectic with rage. They are determined with the help of an accomplice to end this extremely unacceptable union. As a New York baseball fan I loved that the second MC was a Major League baseball Second baseman. All the baseball talk was great. There is a lot of suspense, violence, and underhanded dealings. But what I really enjoyed was how the unconventional Omega did not back down despite such overwhelming odds against his so called marriage.

This is the second story in the Hellion Club and it was just as powerful as The Family We Make! Ty is an attorney Omega that wants a baby and Carter is a professional baseball player that lost his savings in a money scam. Then Keegan, Ty’s brother got the two of them together so that Ty could have his baby and Carter could get his finances back on an even footing. But somehow they fell in love and then the ex and Ty’s fathers all conspired against them from the very first day. Keegan is like a breath of fresh air, I love his outrageous in your face way of looking at life! Aiden you really got a home run with this story! Can’t wait for the next in this series! Totally enjoyed this book from the very first pages!

Ty is a professional baseball player. He has a lot of debts and needs money asap.
Carter is a lawyer and a good one indeed. His dream is to have a baby but of course, he can’t make one all by himself.
Another great story by Aiden Bates. The characters are lovable and some are hilarious. However, there are others that are loathsome. The story is very well-developed.
One thing I could see in this book is how the author has grown into developing the feelings of the couple, those little things between the lovers such a small caress, a kiss, a hug, a lean into the other person, a knowing smile, etc. that makes the story tender and believable.
I love this series. I can’t wait to read the next one.

Stumbled into this

First off I will admit that I had no clue what kind of story I was getting into when I got this book. Also, I haven't really ever understood the whole Alpha, beta, omega relationship stuff. I literally got the book because I liked the cover and the brief description I read.

All of that being said, I really enjoyed it. The author creates characters that I quickly fell for and set up great internal conflict as well as an outside conflict that brings the characters together. The only thing I really wished is that the story had been longer, I truly felt that there was more story to tell and we raced to the conclusion.

I still don't get the full alpha/omega thing but that didn't hamper my enjoyment of the book.

I did not care for the narrator, his voice wasn’t distinctive enough. I really enjoyed the story. We have Ty who is an omega who is a prominent attorney. Carter is a MLB player who lost all his money in a financial scam. Ty wants a baby and Carter needs money so Keegan comes up with this scheme that Ty and Carter get married and Ty gets his baby and Carter gets back on his feet financially. So they enter into a contract but little do they know that once they get to know each other, they would fall in love. I hated Ty’s parents and his ex. They did everything in their power to break them up. I’m glad they all got was coming to them in the end

This was an okay story. It needed a tad more editing; there was more than one typo. The story itself had potential, but all the subplots overshadowed it. I liked Ty and, especially, Carter, and I really wished I'd gotten to know them more, but all the over-the-top drama got in the way of it. With the exception of Keegan, who grew on me, there was not a single (major) secondary character who was remotely likeable. Their actions and motives I still don't completely understand. I'm not sure if I'll come back to this series or not. I was kinda hoping to read more about Keegan, but from the preview in the next book, it doesn't seem like that will be the case.

Aiden has outdone himself this time around. An arranged marriage contractj just so a career Omega can have the baby he has always wanted, but never found the right man. His brother, partially in jest offers a contract to be a baby daddy to a baseball player that lost all his money to a scheme, which was played out in book 1. I enjoy that all the books he writes bring the characters from his other series into the fold, so it is like reading about one big, mostly happy, dysfunctional family. It is a total must read if you like Omega men giving birth, it doesn't even matter that it is two males making a baby, they go through the same trials and tribulations as a standard pregnant female.

I received this book for free to Give My True & Honest Review.

This is my first book by Aiden Bates & also my first MPEG novel.
Now what can I say other than I liked the main character's Omega, Solicitor Ty & Alpha, Baseball Player Carter. Who are both male but the 'Omega's' have a uterus.
I did enjoy the unexpected love story between these 2 strangers who struck a deal to marry & get pregnant. But I had to begin with trying to get my head envisioning how the pregnancy works with Ty.
God though Ty's Dads are such jerks, (well worse than that, lol) lucky he's a solicitor & is great at what he does.
It's a good book

2 and 1/2 stars
Let’s start by saying that the excuse for these two to get together is as ridiculous as it can be. Basically, Carter accepts to get married for money to pay his club’s dues... say what? Yeap... that’s this guy’s compelling reason to get hitched.
At least Ty’s reasons are more valid... he wants a baby, that ship is about to sail and he needs a baby daddy since he works for a law firm that values family.
The whole situation with Ty’s ex and his parents are way over the top.
Other than that, it is a sweet book with almost no sex on page and whatever little there is is kind of glossed over.
Meehhh.....

Contracts & Craziness 

This book had me hooked early on and I just had to keep going until I finished! With interesting characters and the absolute creepiest of circumstances, I was desperate by the end to see how it all turned out and couldn't be happier with the read!
Keegan was my absolute favorite character with his funny antics and always get involved in situations or the advice he gave. I had a great laugh wherever he showed up! Carter and Ty 's relationship was so sweet and I loved how everything worked out between them 🥰. I'm definitely going to invest in the rest of the books in this series!

Amazing book. I have fallen in love with this series. Ty is an adorable omega that has pushed himself to get where he is. But thinks extremely low of himself thanks to his family and d-bag exes. Carter is a strong alpha recovering after being scammed. I loved reading how fast they meshed after initial hesitation. It made me smile how Carter helped Ty see his worth. Of course there is a meddling family and menacing ex to cause trouble. Very enjoyable read and will read again when I need a pick-me-up.
