Hellion Club #5
Hellion's Law
A Bad Boy Romance
NOAH
I came to the Hellion Club to solve a murder, not to become some banker’s boy toy.
All my life, my omega status has been a pain my ass. Shaping what other people assume about me. Determining who I date, or who’ll date me. My own biology trying to tell me to slow down and have babies. Well screw that. Only I get to decide how I live my life, and I decided a long time ago I was going to be the best damn detective this city had ever seen.
And yet here I am anyway, pregnant in the middle of a murder investigation. The highest profile investigation of my career. The thing that could shoot me to the top. Instead I’m busy fending off my would-be alpha, the oh so posh and traditional Sebastian Banks, Hellfire Club elite. If he had his way, I’d spend the rest of my life either in bed or the kitchen. If my body had its way, it would happily let him.
It’s everything I’ve spent my whole life resisting. Now more than ever, I have to focus on what really matters to me. But I can’t help but wonder…is it really just simple biology that keeps pulling me back towards this man? Or is it something more?
SEBASTIAN
I’ve always lived my life according to certain expectations, and in return life has met mine.
An omega cop who loudly asserts his independence at every opportunity falls nowhere within the boundaries of the expected.
And yet Noah Wells manages to be all the more irresistible for it.
I don’t understand it. Or him. I don’t know why he resists me or the attraction between us. More riddles to unravel, but I can be patient.
I can be anything he wants or needs me to be, if he’ll just give me the chance to show him. Funny, I thought I was supposed to be the alpha between us. Maybe there’s more to his modern ideas than I would have thought. Not that he needs to know that, of course…
Murder, mystery and mpreg abound in this 50,000 word tale of opposites attracting. The sparks between these two can be explosive, so please be eighteen years or older when following them into the bedroom!

***** Aiden Bates well written police tale with Mpreg non-shifters. * We begin with the first of the brutal, grizzly murders. Through the investigations we learn about our characters and what makes them tick.
When Detective Noah, 28,
and his fellow detective question
Sebastian, a banker, and the other Hellion Club members,
there is an attraction, but Noah has clear reasons he doesn't want to persue Sebastian. Slowly they begin to see each other in the murder talks targeting the club.
There is action, searches, clues, and more grusome killings. Alpha Sebastian and Omega Noah have very hot, pleasure filled sexy times. They are perfect together in their wants and needs.
As the weeks pass, each man works hard at their jobs, plus find time to be with each other. When the surprise comes into play, Sebastian is thrilled and goes full Alpha. Noah is independant and a cop who won't be giving up his job, so their friction begins, too.
The serial killer calls Noah, the plot thickens, and what about the pigeon feathers?
It's exciting and satsfying as the case culminates. Sebastian lands in the hospital and things are moving quickly, but our men need to communicate.
A terrific and interesting, mysterious story, with strong men and compromise. Entertaining and fast paced.
Highly recommended.
ENJOY !

Murder , mystery and mayhem !!!!
This fantastic series kicks off this book with 2 murders in the alley outside of the Hellion club, the bodies posed to look like members. The detectives on scene Noah and Vazquez need to speak to someone in charge so the absolutely fabulous Keegan Cunningham in one of his sparkly suites obliges until they get a meeting with Sebastian Banks who is Secretary of the board and an arrogant , self important a -hole. More investigation finds the identity of the deceased and one of their circumstances quite sad . Sebastian asks Noah to a private dinner meeting to ask questions and get answers about what is going on , they seem to hit it off and Noah discovers Sebastian maybe isn't so bad after all when he makes a heartfelt offer for one of the victims, they have a few more meetings over the week and get acquainted with each other. Another 2 murders occur, in Central park this time and are extremely sick and gruesome. Noah is chosen to break the news at the Hellion club and is clearly shaken so Sebastian takes him home and they spend the night together. Sebastian and Keegan want to know how Noah know so much about club protocol so dig into past records and find his dad used to work there and got sacked when he got pregnant by a club Alpha. Sebastian and Noah start spending a lot of time together and Noah gets to meet everyone from the previous books and Sebastian realises he's falling for Noah. Noah's annual physical reveals a big shock and the pair realise they need firmer foundations for a future. The killer strikes again and their investigations are still fruitless. Sebastian talks to Noah's dad and finds out who the father was and it turns out one of the gang is Noah's brother OMG total gasp !! Sebastian starts getting possessive and thinks he can tell Noah what to do and how an Omega must behave, so Noah tells him to go to hell and walks away thinking the whole relationship was a mistake. How much do I want to punch Sebastian in the face right now ? The killer calls Noah at the precinct and goes on a tirade but unwittingly gives clues in his rage, so now they have a timeframe and reasons to work with. The killer escalates but Noah and Vazquez know they are onto the right suspect now and it's only a matter of time until they catch him, but he's still out there and attacks Sebastian who ends up in hospital but the detectives persist and catch their man and hopefully get him sent to Rikers for life. Noah realises he could have lost Sebastian forever and they agree to try and make things work because they do love each other in spite of their differences and end up as a family with a HEA and everything as it should be. Yet another brilliant Hellion book, very well written and excellent storyline and plots and cast characters who feel very real. Love this series. Looking forward to the next book. I received a free advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Nobody so exactly captures what an omegaverse book should be like Aiden Bates. He (she? after santino who really knows anymore...) is so good that I honestly cannot believe these books are on kindle unlimited. Bates knows how to write an omega without the lazy crutch of traditional gender roles and does so with such strong, mature writing that I feel every aspiring omegaverse author should be required to read at least one of these books. When the first 'Hellion Club' book came out I'll admit I thought it was a goofy concept, but I should have known better than to doubt what this author is capable of. My favorite type of omega is one who may not be as physically imposing as some guys, but stands up for himself and his beliefs, and can hold his own if he has to. He's not a damsel and he's not a pushover; he's a guy who just happens to be able to get pregnant. And in this book, it's like Noah was written just for me! Nailed it.

This is the 5th Book in the Hellion Club Series
Noah Wells is a Homicide Detective with the NYPD. He has worked very hard to get to where he is in his career, and he will not let any biases against him for being an Omega get in the way of doing his job. He lands the biggest case of his career and he will do anything that needs to be done in order to solve this case, even if it means stepping foot into the Hellion Club. He makes no secret how much he hates the club but when a string of murders seem to be linked to the club somehow, he has no choice but to push his personal feelings aside to get the case solved.
Sebastian Banks in an Investment Banker and happens to be an Alpha. He is one of the Alphas at the club assisting Noah in the investigation. At first Sebastian is reluctant to cooperate with what the Detective is asking of him, but quickly realizes that in order to keep the club out of the media and cause a panic between the club's members, he needs to do all he can to help the Detective solve the case quickly.
Noah and Sebastian spend a lot of time together and they quickly realize that they are not what the other thought they were. Noah has always been a determined person and doesn't take kindly when an Alpha insinuates their ideals of how an Omega should act or the kind of profession they should have. Everything was going well between then until Noah ends up pregnant in the middle of the murder investigation and Sebastian has a hard time reconciling the dangers of Noah's job. Sebastian confronts Noah with some pretty archaic ideals about Omegas and that is something that Noah just can't live with. He worked hard to be a cop and he absolutely loves it and can't imagine doing anything else. Sebastian asking him to give it all up is like asking Noah to stop being himself.
I really enjoyed the fact that there was a murder mystery in this book. I felt like I was trying to figure out the crime while getting to know Noah and Sebastian. They made a pretty good team and their dynamic was great. Sebastian had me frustrated and times with his archaic beliefs about Omegas. You think that a smart guy like him wouldn't be so dense, but I guess you never know. In any event, I enjoyed this story so much and was sad to see it end.

Book Five 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. Being Book Five, we’re still seeing characters set up in previous books – which I find comforting because they are SO GOOD not to abandon – which only flesh out their personal profiles.
It’s about time we get to a good whodunit. Of all the hardboiled detective subplots I’ve see in mpreg universes, this has to be one of the better ones I’ve read. In fact, I’ve read this book twice the last month.
Omega Noah Wells the only detective on the NYC PD force, and he’s proud of it. During a murder investigation that takes place in a dark alley right next to the Hellion’s Club, he meets Sebastian Banks, one of the higher-ups in the Hellion’s Club administration who finds himself wrangled to cooperate with the NYCPD as the Hellion’s Club liaison as Noah believes that the alphas’ social club is being targeted by what turns out to be a killer with a grudge.
I am pleased that Aiden didn’t cop out (sorry!) and align himself with the usual stereotypical subplots I’ve seen mangled too many times. In fact, he used plenty of red herrings I love to see in such novels. So the read kept me on my toes.
Talk about opposites attracting…
What still bugs my eyes is how Aiden constructs his paragraphs. Unlike the usual grammatical rules, he breaks up too many paragraphs spoken by the same person, and I keep trying to figure out who’s talking, and it’s getting bloody annoying by the fifth book! The madness must stop!
Good book. Great series. Get the box set. You won’t be sorry.

I may or may not ever want my spouse to have anything to do with the Hellion Club, but that doesn't mean that I will ever pass up one of these books to read. I will always read the Hellion Club for so many reasons. One is that while they are all standalones, they are connected, so you get to see older couples in the next books. Another is that the characters are good.
Noah is an omega and a cop. He has worked really hard to get where he is. It's hard for omegas to advance so far and so fast in the police department, and he's one of the top murder detectives out there. When he and his partner get called out to a double murder that takes place next to the infamous Hellion Club, he knows that it has something to do with the club.
Sebastian is an alpha and a legacy member of the club. He's on the membership committee and when there is a murder nearby, he and his rival Keegan Cunningham get dragged into the investigation as ranking members of the board. And BTW? I adore Keegan's wardrobe choices. I can't wait to see him in a relationship and to see someone who loves his wardrobe. Anyway, Sebastian and Noah realize that there is a spark there and they want to explore it to see where it goes.
The love story is wrapped around a murder mystery that hits closer to home than anyone would like. The mystery part is interesting to read. The relationship between Sebastian and Noah is better to read about. I liked Sebastian up until a certain point, then I liked him less. Maybe liked him less isn't quite right, but I certainly got mad at him and his unrealistic assumptions. He made some really crappy choices and violated boundaries all over. I don't blame Noah for any decision he made since he had to react to what was going on and protect himself.

I really enjoyed this well written book, so very much. Just like with the other Hellion Book that I have listened to, this one has an absolutely wonderful Omega. Noah is an omega after my heart if there ever was one! He works as a homicide detective, he is strong and independent, and he stands up for himself against his own father and the Alpha that comes into his world. Noah is definitely not an omega to be pushed around nor is he one to conform to anyone else's idea of what or who he should be. Sebastian, the alpha, on the other hand needs his teeth kicked in and I love that even his alpha friends aren't afraid to tell him that he is wrong. Sebastian made me want to scream at times because even with everyone telling him he was wrong he still didn't correct himself, rather it took a big thing happening for him to stop acting and thinking like he always had. I enjoyed seeing how these two figure out how to compromise and work things out in the end. I also enjoyed the last chapter or so which was more like an extended epilogue that tells several things that happen from in the near future through years down the line giving closure to the different plot lines in the story. I am definitely looking forward to hearing more of the stories in this series, even if I am reading them out of order. The narrator did a decent job however there were times when his emphasis on the "t" in words was a little over the top. I'm not sure why that stuck out to me but it did. I still enjoyed listening to it though.

What we have here is an amazing mystery and characters that grip you by your lapels from the very beginning and never let you go.
Omega Noah Wells is simply a fabulous character. The only omega detective on the NYC PD force, he is smart, driven and strong. A man who knows who he is and what he wants, and who is very aware of his limits. So when he gets pregnant by Sebastian Banks during the investigation of a series of murders that seem centred on the Hellion's club, he soon discovers that his lover doesn't deal very well with the idea of him being... well, himself, basically. And so, heartbreak happens :(
What I love the most in this series is that the Omegaverse isn't used as a shortcut for a fait accompli romance, His omegas are strong individuals, they are able and willing to fall in love and have babies, sure. But that isn't what defines them. They don't have their minds override by hormones, nor are inescapably hauled by his alpha. I love that they are fierce and hard and independent. I wish there were more like them :D
And I like that we keep seeing the characters from the previous books, they are all great, and I enjoy re-visiting them :)
And what about the mystery? The mystery is fantastic. I really enjoyed seeing Noah and his partner following the clues and doing all the difficult work and sometimes boring tasks involved in an investigation. Very well constructed and tightly plotted, is a joy to unravel it.
Daniel James Lewis does a fantastic job with the narration.

A serial killer attacking the Hellion Club... Unheard of! Can't happen! So the Hellions thought.
This was a great story. Aiden does it again with the Hellion Club. He brings his characters alive. Mystery, fun, and good old fashioned intrigue.
Noah is the bright, smart, and strong omega detective. Now he is saddled with what looks like a murder involving the infamous Hellion Club. Sebastian is a typical Hellion Alpha. Most of the time an ass hat! But the cute little omega detective is getting under his skin.
The murders are getting more gruesome and trying to make the club look bad. Noah and Sebastian have to work closely to get this guy. Is he a past member or one that was rejected?
As details and events start to escalate, Sebastian starts to realize Noah could get hurt , that is not acceptable to the alpha. Noah realizes that Sebastian is a pain in the ass, but kind of hot.
Things go awry and tempers flare. Will they get this killer? Will Sebastian and Noah make it as a couple? You just have to read the story and find out. You know the Hellions are going to be a good if not emotional read. I look forward to many more.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the fifth book in the Hellion Club series. In this book, someone is killing men around the Hellion Club and trying to stage the scenes to implicate the club. Noah Wells is an omega and a detective investigating the murders. Noah has ties to the club and when he meets Sebastian Banks, there is an attraction to the older alpha. Sebastian is a legacy in the club, meaning his father was also a member, and is also on a number of committees. When Sebastian meets Noah, he wants the omega for himself, and they have a connection. After a few dates, Sebastian is ready to settle with Noah, but Noah wants to slow things down. When Noah learns he is pregnant, Sebastian begins to become too controlling and wants Noah to quit working. Noah doesn't want to be a stay at home dad and rely only on Sebastian, so Noah distances himself from Sebastian, while trying to solve the murders. Sebastian asks his friends for advice on how to win Noah back and how to learn to be less controlling. I love this book, i loved that Noah wanted to continue working. I think Sebastian really wanted to be with Noah but he had to learn to trust him and be less controlling. I thought they were great together and this series was a great one.

I don't think there has been a book that either author has written that I haven't enjoy thus far. This book was intense though and a little gory (not overdone) the relationship between the two main characters was a back and forth that you had to try and not be ticked off about it. But the authors did a good job building their relationship between them.
Character breakdown;
Noah: being independent is great but there is such a thing as being too independent. Especially if you want to be in a relationship and raise a child with them. Despite that Noah was amusing and made a great detective. And despite being from queens his cool lol.
Sebastian: okay so old school traditions and alpha male personalities tend to be a vile combination. At least Sebastian acknowledge that and did his best to change his ways. It was cringey watching him though, like a guide of what not to do lol.
Overall besides the intensity of the relationship between the two the plot thickened and was pretty enjoyable with a splash of gore. Also I so did not appreciate the slight jabs at the Bronx, #notcoolQueens lol

Overall besides the intensity of the relationship between the two the plot thickened and was pretty enjoyable with a splash of gore. Also I so did not appreciate the slight jabs at the Bronx, #notcoolQueens lol

This is a fascinating, intriguing MM romance and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
What this book is about: a independent, feisty omega police officer (Noah Wells) who goes to the Hellion’s Club to investigate a murder and meets a rich, traditional alpha (Sebastian Bank) one of the club’s elite members. Noah tries to fend off the attractive Sebastian but he is determined to claim Noah.
What you will find in this book is: drama, intrigue, suspense, twists & turns, law enforcement, a serial killer, mystery, murders, danger, attractions, uncertainty, verbal conflict, a unexpected surprise, excitement, independence, panic, advice, anger, threats, choices, accusation, interference, grief, attacked, stabbed, realization, suspect arrested, nervousness, commitment, happiness, lust, passion, love, and steamy scenes.
The characters are interesting, well developed and realistic with their emotions. The story-line and plot is well-thought out and written, it keeps the reader’s attention. I look forward to reading more books written by this talented author and I would recommend this book.

I enjoyed the story, the narrator not so much. His voice is pleasant but there is no difference between the characters so most of the time I was unsure who was speaking. Noah is an omega police officer who is investigating murders associated to the Hellion's Club. Sebastian is an Alpha member who is a rather snobbish banker. He initially comes off as the type of Alpha that believes that "I'm the big bad Alpha & you are the weak omega". When an unexpected pregnancy happens, Sebastian automatically thinks that Noah is going to quit working as a cop and stay home taking care of the baby. Well he kind of demands it. Well you can imaging how well that went over, it didn't. Noah basically tells him where to get off at & leaves him. For the longest time, and even after other Alpha's tell him what an idiot he is, he thinks he is in the right & it should be his way. As the bodies pile up, Noah is planning on a life as a single father. But when the killer strikes too close to home & Noah almost loses Sebastian, they decide to make a go of it, with compromises on both sides. I'm glad they found their HEA.

The story itself was pretty good. I liked Noah and how independent and conscientious about his job he was. Sebastian, though, was such an alpha*ole, totally conservative and wanting to keep Noah in a gilded cage. Thank God Noah wasn't the kind to allow that to happen to him. At least they finally reached a compromise and Sebastian seemed to be doing more of an effort in the last part of the book.
I didn't particularly care for Noah's father, either. The fact that he was so deferential to Sebastian and didn't really see how wrong he'd been to violate Noah's trust like he did, grated on my nerves. Other than that, I enjoyed the mystery arc and listening to Noah and Vasquez pursue the killer.
The narration was good, sometimes I wasn't sure which of the characters was speaking, but Daniel James Lewis's voice was pleasant enough that I didn't mind that much about that. I was disappointed at the way he pronounced the Spanish surnames, since it's my first language, I always expect narrators to do their homework and pronounce them as we do here, but I guess, you can't have everything.
Enjoyable!

I like this series, this series gets your attention and keep it to the end.
Noah is a detective that loves his job. He's the youngest and one of the best detectives on the force. Noah never wanted to be a stay at home omega and take care of the house and an alpha.
Sebastian is a traditional alpha who believe that omega should stay home, listen to and take care of their alpha. Noah and Sebastian meets when Noah is investigating a murder outside Hellion Club. They start getting romantic involved, things work out fine between them until Noah finds out he's pregnant. Sebastian want Noah to quit his job and stay home where he's safe, Noah doesn't agree with that. Sebastian is quite annoying and immature at times, but he has some good friends and Noah that kick some sense into him. In the end Sebastian and Noah is willing to compromise to make things work, since they realize that they love each other and doesn't want to live with out the other one.
The best part is that the characters for the other books in the series is playing a part aswell.

The last book in the series. While it's stated that it can be read as a standalone but I found it reads better in order.
This one follows Sebastian Bank, an investment banker, and Noah Wells, a homicide detective. The two meet when a suspect stages their victims outside the Hellion Club. For the sake of the club, Sebastian and Keegan, determine it's in everyone's best interest to resolve this issues as quick as possible. While the investigation is underway Sebastian and Noah become closer. But as they get closer to finding the suspect, they find themselves in some dangerous situations and are forced to navigate issues in their relationship if they want to be together.
Not my favorite book in the series. I felt it was a bit too angsty with how much Sebastian and Noah go back and forth concerning their background and expectation. In a way I thought it was a innovative of the author to explore it and also express Noah and Sebastian's thoughts and feeling about it.

Of better quality and morality than the previous book in this series...
...and much more enjoyable. Watching the evolution of Sebastian and Noah's relationship is both bittersweet and satisfying once they get their priorities together and within reasonably acceptable limitations where both compromise versus resorting to their own traditions. The serial killer capture seemed anticlimactic when all was said and done because he didn't ever explain to my satisfaction how he selected his victims, or why he redressed and arranged their death poses. I always wish for more time with the baby; they only name him, then fade away into the sunset with their child in one or the others carrier, and we get no sense of any personality or interaction, just a summary of their wedding, honeymoon, birth and delivery, and Sebastian's family. I hate that Aiden Bates always does that. I love epilogues, and he never writes satisfying ones. This is why it receives 3.5 stars ( I do round up however).

I love the Hellion club series so I knew that when I started to read this one that I would love it and I definitely did. This is the story of Sebastian and Noah, Sebastian he’s fantastic he’s also an alpha and he’s part of the committee of the Hellion club. Noah is a cop and an omega he’s headstrong and willing to give his all for his job, one night there is a double murder just outside of the club and Noah thinks that the men were a part of the club so he goes inside and meets Sebastian and there’s an instant attraction but Noah’s job is more important. I loved this series and sadly this is the last of the series, there’s murder, mystery, passion, love and so much more to keep you entertained and turning the pages. A wonderful story but then it’s a Aiden Bates book and I wouldn’t expect anything less from him. A 5 plus ++++++ ⭐️ readand I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

4.5 ⭐
I really enjoyed this book. It was full of murder, intrigue, criminal investigation, and a crafty killer. I remember disliking Sol Delaney four books ago. Well Sebastian Banks had him beat hands down in Alphaholeyness. He was so dense. It was like he was wearing big long clown shoes and continuously stepping all over his own toes. I wanted to grab him and shake him.
Other Hellion Alphas and their Omega partners tried talking to him yet he couldn't hear them. He even sought out help unfortunately his Alpha / Omega stereotypes and biases were so ingrained he couldn't pull his head out of his patootie to see how terrible & hurtful his behaviors and words were. That is until he nearly lost the love of his life.
Revelations regarding Sol Delaney and Alex Carey were a very unexpected but still wonderful surprise. It was very interesting seeing what became of a Hellion Omega from years ago.

How can you not love the Hellion Club? You may not agree with the alpha frame of mind, but you have to laugh at their certain mind set. Sebastian has that mind set, he is an alpha that needs to protect, care for, and have an omega by his side. Noah is so not that omega. Noah is a blue collar worker, a police detective who loves his job and is definately not arm candy to any alpha. A string of murders brings them together, as the murders center around the Hellion clud. I loved reading how Sebastian is so single minded but he loves Noah, and Noah is now pregnant. To bad Sebastian can not keep his foot out of his mouth. Even though these are stand alone books in this series, I recommend reading them all, as the characters intersect and play a part in this story as well. Just an awesome series.

Yes, yes, yes!! Next book in the Hellion club series is here. I simply love this series with stubborn alphas that gets whacked in the head by the “weaker” omegas. Omegas that show that they have backbone, independence and don´t need to have an alpha in their lives but want them and their love, that the omegas are prepared to compromise to let another person in into their lives but refuse to give up on who they are. This time is Sebastian Bank`s, alpha, banker and traditionalist and Noah Wells`s, omega and detective who investigate murders in the Hellion club, turn at love of course with a typical Bates twist to it (it´s never a straight forward love story with Bates).

A really good ending to a great series.
You can't help but love this author and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series of books from him.
The 5th book in this series is about Sebastian Banks an alpha and member of the Hellion Club and Noah Wells an independent omega detective who is investigating a series of murders with ties to the club.
Noah and Sebastian hit it off but it's not plain sailing when Noah wants to retain his independence and Sebastian wants him to quit his job and be a trophy omega. Things change when the killer focuses on Noah and wants Sebastian out of the picture.
Can two very different men find common ground whilst a killer is on the loose and Noah is pregnant with Sebastian's baby. Recommended.

This book (like all others) is wonderful! I like how the story dives right into the murders and starts with Noah in his element as a detective. Sebastian seems to come off annoyed that his club is being the target for a murder investigation. I fell in love with Noah and Sebastian because they both need each other even if it takes them a little bit to realize that. I really liked their chemistry and seeing the familiar faces from other books in this series was fun too! Once again another great book and conclusion to a great series by Aiden Bates. Such wonderful characters and a beautiful story!

I liked the story. I wish there would have been a little more interaction between the characters a little bit more, but it was still pretty good. I liked the mystery in the book as well. I was trying to connect the dots as they went along as well. The ending seemed a little rushed though. The rest of the book was a little slow paced and very detailed from the very beginning, but once you reached the ending it seemed rushed and forced. Kind of lost the effect the rest of the book had simply because of the ending. Still good though.

This is the last book of the series and can be read as a standalone. I confess that this is the first one I have read. This is M/M story about and Alpha with old world views and an Omega who is a detective that is hunting a serial killer. The two main detectives clash but eventually overcome their differences. The story is well written and the pace is even, no dragging. The plot flows well with the story and the dangerous twist keeps you reading. I would recommend this book.

The solution to love!
The Detective met a man due to two deaths just outside the club. They were immediately attracted to one another. The Detective is an Omega which is unusual. The Alpha wants him to give up his job so the alpha can look after the omega, which is traditional. The Detective objects even though he is now pregnant. The murder the police are investigating deepens with more unusual deaths. This love story is a lovely comprimise with two strong men. Aiden you have done it again.

Action, drama, romance between two very different men, and a who is the bad guy! Awesome Read!!
I so enjoyed this last of the series and am kinda sad at the same time. This author builds a world that you get attached too and are not ready to let go of.
Noah and Sebastian will keep you reading just because they are so well developed that you will be invested in their HEA!
Awesome characters, great story-line and the writing is superb!
