An Mpreg Romance
You never forget your first love…
Damien King has made a decent life for himself as an Alpha firefighter in his hometown. Drinking with the crew of Engine #15 and picking bar fights with men who insult omegas keeps him from thinking about his past.
Back in town for a funeral, the last person Tommy Laurence expects to save him from a burning hotel room is his long-lost heartache, Damien. Seeing his old best friend awakens feelings he had sought to forget, or at least they were best friends… until Damien had confessed his love a decade ago.
Damien can scarcely bear to see Tommy, but the attraction is too intense, and he can’t seem to stay away. A single steamy night between the two becomes a standing appointment. Damien finds himself torn between the pain of the past and the hope for a future, and when Tommy ends up pregnant, the two can no longer pretend to ignore the deep resentments that exist between them.

Red Hot Daddy, a paranormal firefighter mpreg novel with a side of
second chance romance. Not our usual read, but if omega/alpha relationships are
your thing, it should be on your TBR list.
What did we enjoy?
- Alpha / Omega: there is
something really great about Damien and Tommy as an alpha/ omega
relationship. Now, this is a non-shifter
book, and the first one featuring mpreg that isn’t animal/shifter based, but
honestly we didn’t miss the shifter aspect.
- Push and Pull: We really
enjoyed the push and pull of the relationship between Damien and Tommy, it was
fun.
What took away from the book?
- Miscommunication and Angst:
Ugh - 10 years of miscommunication.
Really? And add the angst, so
much angst, it was so much and we really wanted these boys to pull their heads
out and TALK. Ugh
- Disjointed story: There was a lot going on in this little book,
and we felt it jumped around a bi in plot and them left quite a few cliff-hangers. Like the hate-crime that the book was centred
around just kind of went away???? We ended up skimming just to make it through
the inconsistencies.
So, Red Hot Daddy was a miss for us, it is fast-paced easy read,
with not a lot of meat to the story.
But, if you are looking for a Red Hot fireman, a sexy omega and a mpreg
story without shifting, pick up this second chance romance!
