Amateur alpha-omega dynamic
Okay, so this is one of those inexplicable alpha/omega stories that started popping up on tumblr and fanfiction sites a few years ago. "Alphas" are uber-masc men and "omegas" are softer, more effeminate men that can bear children. Got it? Okay.
Forget Me Knot is fanfiction. The characters are flat, and the plot is basically a series of rom-com tropes. The pacing is way too fast. The erotica is so-so, but there are lines that just grossed me right out (unintentionally). I doubt I'm the main audience for this novel; it seems aimed at women more so than gay men. I will be vague and say that it is very evident from certain passages that the author is inexperienced with how a certain demographic makes love.
There are so many fanfiction authors who do what Frost did here, but better. The alpha-omega dynamic can be done well, but this felt underdeveloped, like a rough draft. Frost could really be something--the potential is there--but they really need to sit down and develop their plot and characters.

Hmm...
I've avoided the mpreg subgenre of m/m. Usually it is in m/m PNR. This is some pseudo scifi contemporary. Very simplistic they get to know each other through brief meetings at the dinner in town. Alpha hero (alpha what who knows as that isn't answered well) saves omega from deadend job and mistreatment by carrying him off for a sudden wedding with no dates before. Then they deal slightly with the unwanted past of the omega and the falsely accused and not supported alpha. Quick explanation that aliens came and infected DNA so that now there are alpha and omegas that can hook up and cause a male pregnancy. No more explanation than that. How physically, what exactly happened with this, any reason what so ever. Other than that, they are human, not shifters. OK so very short and they are together dealing with past hurts. Work through it, the end. Not even that much sex, though I guess for 84 pages it was plenty, not particular sexy. And the only physical change is the "alpha" gets a "knot" like a dog whose penis attaches him to a female. Hmm...
This was my first mpreg and probably my last.

Rewriting an MF story and turning it MM to make it appealing to the LGBT crowd just ain't it imo.
