Synopsis

Thrown out and thrown away.

Lorne Austen—on the very day his alpha’s youngest children were fifteen—was told to pack his bags and leave the only real home he had ever known. Heartbroken and alone he takes shelter from the snowstorm with other stranded travelers, miles away from the family he had always considered his.

Doctor Jonathan Owens has personal reasons for never wanting to mate an omega, but all his good intentions are tested to the limit when he meets Lorne. After spending the night together he is devastated to find Lorne has vanished without a trace.

Soon enough, Lorne discovers the impossible has happened and he is pregnant. But the law says unmated omegas cannot keep the babies they give birth to. Eventually, realizing something is badly wrong with his pregnancy, he goes to the clinic and comes face to face with Jonathan again.

All Lorne has wanted is a family he won’t lose. Jonathan has spent years making sure he never needed one. Faced with the real danger that the babies won’t even survive long enough to be born, can these two find love and the strength they need in each other or will their differences always pull them apart?

A really sweet romance with just enough angst.

The first book in this series was a very sweet Christmas story and I loved it very much. Now we have His First Family (you don’t need to read book 1 first) and it is just as sweet with a bit of angst and a nice amount of heat.

In this series females can give birth and there are also male omegas who can give birth. However, omegas are generally treated as second class citizens and sometime are more like indentured nannies/slaves who care for children birthed by females. I cried sad tears for Lorne when he was ejected from the home where he had lived for over 20 years, caring for his alpha’s children; he wasn’t even allowed to say goodbye.

The blurb for the book gives the details of the story so please take a look at it. After a great one-night stand Lorne never expects to see Jonathan again. When they do meet and Jonathan learns that Lorne is having his babies things he said to Lorne the one night they were together come back to bite him. A series of misunderstandings, and Jonathan’s witchy ex-girlfriend, cause a lot of friction between Lorne and Jonathan. Both of them need to learn to trust the other but that is easier said than done.

This was really just a very wonderful story and the author’s dedication was very moving.

Every author likes to think they put a little of themselves in a book, but this was very personal to me. To all the moms, dads, alphas, and omegas who have had their babies in an ICU, I know what you are going through. I understand the helplessness when you can’t be what you envisioned to your newborn. I understand the horror of leaving them there and having to go home. I understand the dread of visiting every day and terrified something will go wrong. I celebrate with every parent who managed to bring their little one home, but I especially stand with every parent who never got to do that.

This book is for you.
