Loved this one. It was a fairly fast but emotional read.

MM, Alpha/omega dynamics with mpreg. Professor/student and age gap tropes.

It was almost insta-lovey, but they don't act upon it right away. More like insta-crush. But I'm glad they

didnt deny their attract too long due to the age gap/professor/student dynamics

It was nicely balanced.

My only real issue with the story was how

upset Aidyn was at the pregnancy and how quick & so insistent he was on terminating it, how he wasn't going to have the baby, he wasn't ready. It was honestly approaching territory i was afraid I wasnt going to like. Like, you cant advertise your book with mpreg as a trope & NOT follow through with the pregnancy? But also at the same time, you couldn't have Luke be the "bad guy" and insist he wanted the baby and talk Aidyn into it. That wouldn't have felt right either.

I'm glad they

talked it out and Aidyn confessed he did always want the baby actually and Luke admitted to not caring about his teaching career and ready to be the main caregiver.

Because, yeah, I didn't see a way for it to be a HEA otherwise if it had gone any other way. I do feel that

Aidyn hid his feelings and his confession for a little too long. Because it was getting real dicey with everyone keeping their secrets and not communicating for awhile there.

It would have felt totally different there is there wasn't hidden narrator secrets going on. Which came across as a little odd considering its first person pov and yet we still didn't have all th information, for dramatic effect.

Literally my only small issue. It was great otherwise and I'll absolutely recommend it.
