Beastly (The Greaves Brothers #1) by Crista Crown







Blurb

An Mpreg Romance.
“I had to. You can’t trust me, Alan. You said it yourself, you were scared of me. You don’t need that kind of man—you don’t need me.”

All Jeremy wants is to be a good man, like his adopted dad. He works hard as a mechanic, takes care of his brothers, and keeps his head down. His only vice these days is the occasional cigarette. When he'd stepped out onto the street, he hadn't expected to step right into a scene from his dark past, and when he saw that alpha smacking an omega around in front of their kid--something dark and terrifying unleashed in him.

Alan thought he and his son Simon had escaped his abusive ex, Mark, Simon's father. A year ago, Mark had hit six year old Simon for the first time, Alan gathered his courage, grabbed Simon, and ran as far as he possibly could. But Mark's found them, and he's not happy.

Somehow, he and Simon are saved by a tall, dark man with a vicious streak, and now they don't have to worry about Mark chasing them any longer. But have they just traded one dangerous situation for the next? Jeremy is nothing but tender after that first incident, and he's never laid a finger on them, but Alan doesn't know if he can trust an alpha with any kind of dark streak, no matter how protective he seems.

Jeremy is appalled at what he did to the abuser, but he doesn't regret it. It just confirms that he can't trust himself with a family of his own. He'll turn out just like his bio-dad, whether he wants to or not. But until Alan can get on his feet, he's going to make sure he and his kid are protected. Even if it's from himself.

Two broken men hold the key to each other's healing and their hearts--but can they get past their wounds to find the dream they've both longed for so long?

Beastly is the first in a contemporary mpreg trilogy of three men with broken pasts who became brothers, thanks to the only man who gave them a chance. Trigger warning for violence and abuse. Warning! This book contains adult situations, with adults doing adult-only things, so 18+ readers only! Guaranteed HEA.


Review 
My Rating - 4 Stars!


Beastly, is a fun mpreg romance by Crista Crown. 

I adore both men. Jeremy lives with a violent nature, but longs to be more like his adopted father. His violent nature, however, is what saves Alan, and his son Simon. With Simon's abusive ex after them, Jeremy is the one who keeps him safe. 


I hate how Jeremy doubts himself, and considers himself broken. His story is heartbreaking. Seeing Alan try to make Jeremy see better about himself is beautiful and touching.

One of my favorite things is the way Simon is drawn to Jeremy. It's natural and tender. Simon is such a sweet kid, who you can't help but to fall in love with immediately. In general, Simon will bring out the feels, as he knows "'...my papa doesn't love me...'"

It's a story of attraction, need, and want. It's a story of fear, doubts, and mistakes. It's a story of taking chances and acting on one's chance at love. 

Jeremy and Alan are sweet together, and have some hot moments. And, of course, this leads them to an accidental pregnancy.

Beastly is a hopeful mpreg love story. Crista Crown captures the beauty of looking beyond your past, and having faith in yourself. As well, this romance is a wonderful second chance for Alan to find love, and for Simon to find a loving papa.
