⭐︎3.5 Stars Rounded Up!⭐︎
Overall, a pretty solid Mpreg romance. I really enjoyed the build up to these two getting together, I liked how it actually took its time and showed Jackson, the omega, and Carter, the alpha, falling in love.
I did enjoy the chemistry between these two, and I also liked how the pregnancy wasn't just a footnote at the end of this story. It does happen fairly late, but not so late that it's barely in this story. It is still a pretty significant part of the story.
The strength of their relationship and the Mpreg actually being featured helped me round this up instead of down.
Now, for the reasons I gave this 3.5 stars. It's a few things, mainly that for a title that literally has "forbidden" in it, there wasn't really anything all that much forbidden between Jackson and Carter.
By that I mean that when they finally give in and have sex, they tell Jackson parents - Carter's best friends - the next day. Now, they certainly don't react well, so there is that. But these two didn't have to hide anything, and while the parents didn't like that they were together at first, obviously, it wasn't so bad that it counts as "forbidden", so it didn't quite match up with what the title and premise promised us.
I also do wish the sex had been a little more detailed after the first time. There wasn't much detailed description of their sex together after that, and I was a little disappointed by that. Also, plot wise, I know the overarching plot will be continued in the next book with David, Jackson's friend, but I do wish we had at least found out in this book why the government is taking and maybe killing omegas. Like what is it about unmated omegas that makes them such an apparent threat?
Just for the plot of this singular book, I think it would have strengthened it if we weren't left wondering at the end of this. Just finding out the main reason for omegas going missing would have been good. David's book can still be what it is with us knowing why this is happening.
Instead we're still left with that mystery, and why they allow omegas to stay if they're mated, like Jackson eventually becomes with Carter. What is it specifically about unmated omegas that they might be killing them - or at the very least, capturing them? We don't get that answered in this book and I was left feeling bereft, plot wise.
So I had some problems with this, but overall it was enjoyable and a pretty solid Mpreg romance overall. I was so happy that it did so well with the build up between Jackson and Carter. That really made me enjoy this a lot. Without it, this would have gotten a much lower rating from me.
So if you like Mpreg, I definitely recommend this. It was enjoyable overall and definitely worth a read, even if it could have improved in some areas. It gets a thumbs up from me

What to do when you have a bad day?? You pick up this book to make you steel better!!
It has government conspiracy and a growly and possessive Alpha who only wants to make his omega happy (even before they claim each other).
There’s an age gap, nesting and mpreg occurring too!
Jackson is an omega, a very rare designation in this continent. The omegas are required to be registered and then are taken from their families at the time of their puberty (but the right word but essentially that). The government claims it’s to protect them and give them a good life but said omegas are never seen or heard from again. His father sent him into hiding and now is asking his friend and colleague to house him until he can get an alpha mate for him.
Carter is the friend and colleague. He feels the attraction to Jackson instantly but throughout the time that he’s living with jackson, they actually get to know one another and it’s no longer biology that’s making him attracted to him but his personality.
I loved reading them get close and the cute things they would do together because of their closeness.
A part of me felt the pregnancy happened so fast and I would’ve liked to see them as a defined couple a bit longer without the pregnancy but it didn’t detract from it all.
It ends on a kind of cliffhanger. The love story between Carter and Jackson is complete but the underlying plot of government omega conspiracy is no where near close to being answered.
It is left that way because the next book between Maddox and David literally starts what happens next, so off I go to read that!!
