After four years spent apart, Aaron is on his way home to marry the love of his life—his best friend. The proposal? It’s about to end in disaster.

Dedicated, determined, and head-over-heels in love, Aaron is ready to settle down with the man of his dreams—his best friend, Gage. With a prestigious degree under his belt, a promising career ahead of him, and a loving boyfriend to pamper and spoil for the rest of their lives, the future is brighter than it’s ever been.

Isn’t it?

The lie Gage has been living for the last four years is about to fall apart, and there’s only one way he can see himself holding it together. The proposal? It’s everything he’s ever wanted, but something he might never be able to have…

When the steamiest summer of Gage’s life leaves him pregnant with Aaron’s child, Gage knows what he has to do. He’s made Aaron a promise, and the future of their family depends on it.

Forced to keep his son a secret from everyone—even Aaron—Gage does whatever it takes in order to keep a roof over their heads. But when his child gets sick and Gage can’t afford medical treatment, he has a difficult choice to make.

How far will he go to keep his future family together?

When an unexpected reunion brings Aaron and Gage back together, they’re faced with a choice: overcome the obstacles standing in their way to becoming a happy family, or accept that the proposal they’ve both been dreaming of is never going to happen.

The Proposal is a 70,000 word contemporary omegaverse mpreg novel featuring a quirky group of single dads, a live stream you’re never going to forget, pretty pearls in naughty places, and a love that neither time nor distance can tear apart.

REVIEW
My Rating - 5 Stars!

I absolutely enjoyed every second of this book.  

Gage is exhausted.  He is poor.  And he can't afford to help his sick son, Bo, get the medical care that he needs.   He is at the end of his rope.  He just wants to find out what is wrong with his son, but he can't even afford the tests.

Then Aaron returns, just like he promised Gage that he would.  He is shocked to discover that he and Gage have a child together.  He is sad that Gage never told him.  And he is shocked to learn the depth of Gage's sacrifices over the years.   

Gage never told Aaron about Bo because he didn't want Aaron to sacrifice his education just because of them.  He wanted to ensure that Aaron finished his degree, to the point of not telling anyone about Bo. If his family found out, they would surely tell Aaron.  So Gage kept it a secret.  And he and Bo lived in poverty as a result. Gage would sacrifice his own meals just so that Bo could eat.   

When Aaron arrives home to surprise Gage, he is so saddened to learn all of this.  And he is there to help.  With everything.  He is buying them a house.  He can help pay for Bo's tests.   

Their journey isn't all easygoing though.  Things are complicated by one of the member's of Gage's Online Single Dad Support Group.   But, then they learn good news from their parents when they finally tell them about Bo.  Being able to get Bo help is of the utmost importance to them.  And now they will be able to do so.

The characters were so well written. Gage is such beautiful person.  The depth of his love for Aaron is just amazing.  And Aaron, he truly is a terrific man.  He is everything you would want in a partner.   He is loyal and dependent.  What I really enjoyed about these two though is that Gage is not a weak, little omega.  It sort of seems that way because of how all his problems are solved when Aaron returns.  But, Gage is actually a very strong man.  

As I mentioned earlier, I loved this book.  It drew me in from the very first page.  And the story stayed strong to the end.  I highly recommend this if you enjoy mpreg books.
