Read Trust fund baby and 4 other fantastic books in this one of a kind bundle!
This is the story of 5 guys who went to college together and were in the same frat. Well, 6, if you count Nikolai. Well, 6.5 if you count Jay, who at least knew some a couple of the guys.
Anyway, most of the guys are alphas, except for Cody, who is an omega, but who has worked really hard to get to where he is, as the leader of a special forces team. One which Nikolai decides he needs to haunt, because he needs to take care of his omega, even if Cody doesn't think that he's Nikolai's omega. Can you tell who my favorite is?
Anyway, it's nice to have all 5 stories together in one place. You get everything from a 2nd chance love to fake boyfriend, and everything in between. Each story works very well for each couple. For example. Luke and Jay's story has a lot of internal drama, while Cody and Nikolai end up with a lot of shoot'em up drama. It wouldn't have worked well the other way around because those characters just wouldn't fit those stories.
I loved having all 5 books back to back so that I could just speed through them.
Where to begin? I absolutely loved this series. Don't let the title throw you off. When you think of frat boys normally you think of parties. sex, and more parties.. This series was about a group of frat brothers that take care of each other and support each other in their daily lives. The interesting part was that they are all so different yet they are what each other needs when they each start falling in love and need advice and encouragement to go after their HEA. Each story was different but had the same theme of finding their other half and starting a family. All the brothers, Luke, Teddy, Marcus, Cody, and Kurt are amazing men. My favorite part of the series was Kurt's crazy family in Book 5, and how Kurt handles his sisters. Very entertaining series with sexy times and beautiful babies.

4.5 Stars ~ Had I known how much I was going to enjoy this series, I would have simply bought the bundle vs buying book one and then buying the bundle. ;-)
Trust Fund Baby ~ I so enjoyed this first book in the series. Luke and Jay are wonderful characters and I adored watching them fall in love.
What I really loved, though, almost more than anything, was the "family" Luke has with his frat brothers: Kurt, Teddy, Marcus, Cody, and Brent, along with Brent's husband, Greg, and Nikolai, who has been around for so long that he has blended into the mash. I just loved how they're so close and will drop everything to help one another. The relationship dynamics between these men who call themselves brothers is fantastic.
Building a Family ~ Teddy is perfect. I love a brilliant man who no social aptitude and he's so charming and lovable. Carlos, with his history of growing up poor as the son of a gang leader, is a refreshing change of pace and I loved his bluntness. The fact that he finds Teddy mesmerizing is definitely points in his favor. Again, I got the joy of seeing the brothers come together.
Secondary characters, Victor and Chuy, practically made this story 100x better and I totally fell for them.
Billion Dollar Baby ~ Oh Marcus... the "mom" of the group is in need of a change in his life and Gio certainly brings that! I loved Gio with his snarky attitude and filthy mouth. He's a breath of fresh air and I just loved watching these two fall in love.
Seeing Victor and Chuy finally admit their love to each other was simply awesome!
The Mafia Heir's Baby ~ Cody and Nikolai. There's so much more to both of them and watching them dance around one another was both frustrating and incredible. Cody is a complete badass and I loved his team he commands. This might be my favorite of all the stories and that's saying quite a bit since I really have adored each one.
Oh and Victor and Chuy are pregnant! Yay!
The Bartender and the Babies ~ Kurt. Been waiting for the playboy's story. *grins* Unfortunately, I feel like the author's could have made Kurt's story a lot more interesting and detailed it out. This story is short compared to the others and it really lacked something... for me, anyway. Kurt is a great character and Evan is wonderful. I just wish I'd had a little more with their love story.
Trust Fund Baby--Luke is a lawyer and a workaholic. He has been in a relationship for two years and his anniversary with his omega is imminent. He arrives home to find his omega gone leaving a note as to why he left. He;s heart broken. Months later, he;s in California and coerced into going to an art show. There he meets the omega who is the artist, Jay. . He had forgotten till his friend, Kurt, reminded him that he knew Jay from years before. Then on a dinner date with Kurt, Luke runs into Liam. Just when he thinks he forgotten about Jay, legal matters pull Jay into his life.
Building a Family--Theodore William Connelly aka Teddy, is in Houston trying to figure out a way to save a housing unit for low income families. Then he meets Carlos, an engineering student doing gardening. Their meeting is quite comical in that Carlos is trying to save Teddy from the local gang and Teddy is totally oblivious. From that meeting, the two, Teddy and Carlos develop a relationship that is up and down. Then Carlos gets pregnant.
Billion Dollar Baby---Marcus is in Chicago for a new job. Gio is in the FBI and in Chicago on an undercover job. They meet one night at a restaurant. Gio is reading trashy omega stories and Marcus is totally enchanted with him and how he's reading. Life just gets better and complicated.
The Mafia Heir’s Baby---Nikolai is the son of a bratva boss and years before he left Russia for the US and never looked back. He fell in with the frat brothers and took a shine to Cody, the beautiful omega male who is a special forces officer. This is their convoluted story which is silly, intense, loving and full of sharp repartee and wit.
The Bartender And The Baby---Kurt is the last frat brother left . His family does not know he is gay. Now his last sister is engaged and female tempers are frayed and they are taking Kurt;s with them. He decides to head to a local bar in the area after a mini run in between his sisters. There he meets the bar;s owner, Evan. Things totally get out of hand or maybe get tuned better.

I had already read three if these books, and I gave them all 5 stars (I included my seperate reviews for books 3, 4, and 5 below). I have now read Book 1 and 2 as well. All five books contain wonderful, engaging characters, interesting plots, and steamy scenes. There is also plenty of emotion, drama, and suspense. This is a fantastic deal to get all five books in one set. Five stars all around!
Billion Dollar Baby (Book 3) - 5 stars This was my first read in this series, and I am hooked. Great characters, great plot, steamy scenes. Add to that mystery, suspense, and danger, and you have one fantastic book. Aiden Bates and Austin Bates write great books solo, but put them together, and you can't go wrong. Get it; read it; you won't regret it!
Mafia Heir's Baby (Book 4) - 5 stars I love it when these two write together! This was such a fantastic story. I absolutely love it when an author puts an atypical spin on the Alpha/Omega roles. Here the Omega is a special forces operative while the Alpha is a ballet dancer (and unwilling mafia prince). Both are strong individuals with background noise that complicates their relationship. The story has action, drama, emotion, and some really hot sex. It also has a surprise twist that you won't see coming. Another excellent book from the Bates brothers.
Bartender and the Babies (Book 5) - 5 stars I have really enjoyed this series, and it was great to finally read Kurt's story. Kurt is a workaholic with a crazy family; Evan owns a bar. Neither man is interested in commitment. However the connection between them is undeniable, and their chemistry is off the charts. I loved this story! Fantastic, cute, lovable main characters whose "fake" relationship becomes something more. It's a familiar trope, but no one does it like Aiden and Austin Bates!

Trust Fund Baby My heart breaks for everything Jay had to suffer through. Luke doesn't seem to realize his fascination with artists. Their trials are nothing but epic.
Building a Family Teddy has a story! He is the "odd" one of the bunch and his social inabilities hinder him when he finally meets someone he really likes and wants more with. Carlos knows not to get involved with rich men, but Teddy is adorable. Keeping him at arms length is difficult and the secret he is keeping from him may damage any good feelings. Carlos has no idea how Teddy really feels and Teddy is unable to express his feelings.
Billion Dollar Baby It is time for Marcus to find someone! He runs into Giovanni, who is an FBI Agent working undercover. Giovanni always seems to get the short end at work, and he believes this new assignment is more of the same. Checking back in with the group is always a plus.
The Mafia Heir's Baby Cody and Nikolai have been friends for years, and both try to hide their attraction for one another. Cody also believes Nikolai was joking about his Russian mafia connections. I loved how much Cody's team adored Nikolai. The ending seemed rushed and his relationship with his parents still off.
The Bartender and the Babies Kurt has the wildest stories about his crazy sisters, and they live up to their reputation. Being the only man in a group of crazy women will drive anyone over the edge. Add in a fake boyfriend, pregnancy, and a partner who does not want commitment and Kurt may not survive the trip. Evan is a successful business owner who wants nothing to do with a relationship, but he agrees to be Kurt's fake boyfriend as long as they have no commitment to one another. Evan has his reasons, but not everything is black and white. A great read. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
Book 1: 5 stars.. Holyshit! I think this is the first time I read a mpreg character/story.. I can hardly put this down.. The concept is new to me and it fascinates me too..
Book 2: 4.5 stars.. Just because there’s no epilogue.. Teddy & Carlos are sweet but I still love Luke & Jay more.. God I love this book series..
Book 3: 4 stars.. I like it but I kinda wanted more on the romance side than action, but what can I do Gio was FBI agent so yeah.. I was shook about his family and I didn’t realized it sooner knowing he’s Italian..
Book 4: 3.5 stars.. Too much of mafia family bullshit that I think is not necessary for the story in my opinion.. I wanted a back story why they fell in love but all I get was their constant bickering that I can’t feel the chemistry or love from them.. I was really disappointed because Cody is one of my favorites..
Book 5: 4.5 stars.. Because there’s no epilogue.. I love this next to Book 1.. I like how they started, relatable.. Ahh, I’m gonna miss these frat boys.. I had fun reading all of this wonderful stories.. And I’m very enlightened about mpreg and surprisingly I like it, no I love it!
Talk about over-achievers. The men in these stories were in the same fraternity in college and are now making names for themselves in the real world, but they have kept close ties with each other and are involved in each others' families, careers, emergencies, and are always available for advice and support. In the books, each man is finding his life partner and dealing with the challenges of becoming parents. I really like the close relationship of the men and the willingness to step up when they can help. The characters are delightfully written to show humor, vulnerability, growth, honesty, and loyalty. The action is fast-paced and moves the stories to closure. The plots all contain enough surprises not to become boring. I thoroughly enjoyed each of these stories. I am voluntarily reviewing this free ARC book through Booksprout without bias or compensation. I do not know the author, publisher, or have any connection with them except as a book reader.

Oh my, where have I been? Why have I never read an Aiden and Austin Bates before?!?
This is one awesome collection of stories about frat brothers and their strong friendships that grow and change while they each navigate relationship waters.
They became friends in college and work hard to maintain that friendship as they get older. They are so likeable and their personalities are so different and the situations they are in are realistic and relatable. And, and, and! I can just keep going on about how much I enjoyed all of their stories.
The writing and editing is top notch. No dropped or missing plot lines here folks. Everything flows and is interconnected. There is everything from gangs to international intrigue to just plain old every day misunderstandings. I was so engrossed, I read the entire bundle in 3 days.

I don’t know why I’m so interested in the alpha/omega books where the male omegas can have babies. Probably because as a mom I find it fascinating to read what it could be like for men to go through what women do.
These stories had an arc that was well thought out, the characters developed throughout and I loved how they connected but could be read as a stand alone without confusion. I couldn’t stop reading it, they hooked me right from the beginning.
On a side note, I was strangely satisfied that the story was completed for the side characters in the books as well. I appreciate not being forced to wait for another story that may or may not have fit with the rest... and I really appreciate not being left wondering about those characters and feeling unfulfilled.
If you are interested in the alpha/omega world and gay romance you will enjoy this box set.
I love these two Bate’s brothers stories and when they do a collaboration it’s the best of both worlds. Book 1 Trust Fund Baby: Luke’s and Jay’s story. Book 2 Building a Family: Carlos’s and Teddy’s story. Book 3 Billion Dollar Baby: Marcus’s and Gio’s story. Book 4 The Mafia Heir’s Baby: Nikolai’s and Cody’s story. Book 5 The Bartender and the Baby: Evan’s and Kurt’s story. 5 fantastic stories I couldn’t pick a favourite I loved them all, the frat boys show up in all of the books and there are a load of beautiful babies so it’s one giant happy family once they get over all of the drama. Fantastic stories a 5 plus +++++ ⭐️ read and I highly recommend this bundle it’s definitely well worth the read.
This is an amazing series, with an brilliant set of characters. They are frat brother's, and associated friends they met along the way. I absolutely love these guys and thier amazing bond, they are all absolutely crazy mix of people they are a strong family that they made together and have keep strong since thier time in college. Each story we met one of them and are introduced to the others through the book. As they met thier soul mates and thier crazy journeys to get there. It is an amazing set of books that you absolutely fall in love with. It is a must have set that you will definitely want to go back and read, another time through them they are that great.

I received an advanced reader's copy of the bundle and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review and recommendation.
It's a great deal whenever an author overs an entire series of related books in one convenient bundle. I like the fact that each book in the series weighs in at enough pages to make reading the individual titles interesting and involved. I like having this amount of reading available to me when I enjoy books as much as I do from this author.

Aiden & Austin Bates never let you down, they tell a story for each character making you feel their fears and joy. In the male pregnancy genre they are in the top. You feel the love and need to be a parent and part of a family. Not only the biological family but family made up of friends who support you. Each of these 5 stories will draw you in and delight you.

i read this box set as a part of an arc program. I loved this series about frat brothers that have remained friends and found their loves. Each book features the story of each frat brother and has great scenes that will leave you breathless. I loved reading about Luke, Teddy, Marcus, Cody, and Kurt. These books have humor that will have you laughing with them. I love the way they all treat each other and banter back and forth. Awesome series.
I loved this book bundle. They were entertaining and sweet. They were captivating and the twist in the plots gave it an edge. They were well written and the storylines were spot on. The characters were remarkable and the bonds were great. A great read.

He will never date an artist again after the last one. He lost his heart to one and it ended badly. What will happen if they meet again? This has four stories in and each one will take you on a different journey. Follow them and see where they will all end up

It was great to read the five books in the series altogether. The members of Sigma Alpha Omega each have their own story but pop up in each of the books. I liked this premise as you got to know more about the couples after the epilogues. More great books from Aiden Bates

I haven't been able to read the entire book, but what I have is a winner. Aiden Bates is definitely one of the best writers of his genre. You never miss with one of his books and this bundle is no different

A box set that is well written and the stories are captivating and engaging. They are all MM and they are steamy but also beautiful stories. The characters are likeable and well described. A mix of drama, pregnancy, humour, steamy and passion makes them a good read.
Frat Boy's Baby is a great read with all five books in one place. Frat Boy's Baby consists of surprise pregnancies, angst, love, lost loves, second chances, kidnapping, and a brotherhood bind that is unbreakable. What more could a person ask for in a book 😊
So very good i love that frat brothers bond and loyalty love each story. Was so wanting to kill the bad guy especially the russian story line for how the handle their omega's made me cry so hard and wanted the world to take the bad guys out.
I have read other sets by these authors and they have never let me down! Each story filled with enough romance and steam to bring a girl to tears! Every character has you reading faster to find each happy ending! Beautifully written! Romance is off the charts!
