Blurb
Torn apart by a series of miscarriages, Levi O'Devlin is no longer in the market for a relationship. How can he, when the alpha of his dreams craves a baby so much? Instead, Levi spends his days as a cashier, daydreaming of a better life.
Cole Lancaster had an omega, a long time ago. But a devastating accident happened, injuring Levi's friend and driving Cole and Levi apart. To escape his guilt these days, Cole works as a firefighter, borrowing his nephew just so he has a baby to hold.
It doesn't hurt that Levi's working right where Cole's nephew is... and Levi always smells so good.
When Levi's gran makes an irresistible offer—on the condition that Levi produces a great-grandchild—Levi's faced with a difficult choice: to give up the house of his memories, or to find someone to stand in as the 'boyfriend' he's been telling Gran about.
Cole doesn't mind being a pretend boyfriend, right? Never mind that Levi's heart still yearns for this alpha, and never mind that Cole's giving him another baby he can't carry to term. This is all just a pretense.
The Pretense is a 72k-word standalone non-shifter MPreg romance novel, with family bumblebee outfits, hurt/comfort themes, and an alpha who has secretly never stopped loving his omega.

Review
My Rating - 4 Stars!
Anna Wineheart's The Pretense, the seventh book in the Men of Meadowfall series, is a whole lot of fun.
It's cute and fun, as Levi and Cole become pretend boyfriends. Always one of my favorite tropes, I found myself instantly engrossed by this couple. And things get even better as their relationship escalates quickly.
Levi's grandmother is awesome, as she's quite eccentric and yet completely lovable. The camera parts are quite disturbing and I would have freaked out with them.
Be warned that an important theme is miscarriage, including a miscarriage scare, so beware if that's a trigger for you. As for the way it's written, I found it to be very well done, with understanding and compassion.
I found The Pretense to be inspirational and honest, as well as hot and intense. And don't forget there's humor. I couldn't help but to laugh out loud at the "love juices" conversation. I definitely enjoyed this story a lot.
