Heat for Sale by Leta Blake
5.0
I loved this story!! Heath and Adrien are so sweet (and hot) together, even if they do get off to an awkward, even cold beginning. Heath is very determined at first to remain aloof, and to not see Adrien as his own person, but as just a means to an end. When they get to know each other, however, he slowly starts to care for Adrien. He is won over by the omega's trust in him and his honesty, but for a man who prizes trust and honesty so highly, Heath has quite a bit to learn about it himself.
The way Heath and Adrien come together is a recipe for disaster later on, because secrets always come out, usually with awful timing... and Heath is keeping one helluva secret from Adrien. This had me worried all throughout the book... It was all I could do not to skip to the end to see how it would all play out! You can just see the train wreck coming, but you can't stop it! Poor Simon... he tries to get Heath to open up to Adrien about Nathan, but his efforts are in vain. He told you so, Heath! He told you so!
This was a very interesting take on the mpreg universe with great world building, but then I would expect nothing else from this author.
Omega's are not exactly favored by the religious people in this universe, and I was struck by the author's explanation: omega's need to be punished for daring to be like God and create life... food for thought, certainly. I really love how she plays with stereotypes and gender identity, even in funny little details, like alpha's preferring brunettes to blondes... and I loved that apparently the alpha's are more vulnerable and prone to fall in love with the omega's than the other way around, which I greatly prefer to them constantly being all macho & dominant. Though there is a fair amount of that going around as well.
This is a sexy story, but also a really emotional one, giving you all the feels. I very much enjoyed it!
