False Start by Alison Hendricks

The first thing I am going to say about this book is that the author did an amazing job again. 

I absolutely loved Strong Side and this being the next book in the series is perfect. I love that there are problems and that it wasn't all just good from the start. 

We met one of the MC's, Dante in Strong Side. He is a LB and is Jason's best friend. Of course when the book starts Dante thinks he's straight. He soon realizes that's not as true as he thought it was when he meets Mitch. Mitch is also a LB, and is also 6'3" just like Dante. When Mitch "messes up" a play in practice Dante gets pissed, mainly because Mitch is his only real competition for a starting spot. 

That starts them off to be rivals for a bit, then turns to friends and then a bit more than friends. When they finally feel like they are on steady ground drama ensues when Dante goes home with Mitch for Christmas. When he realizes they are even farther apart than he thought, and that most of Mitch's family is poison he does what he thinks is best. That doesn't mean that it is.

Also like the first book there isn't a lot of sex which is big thing for me, I don't like when authors add unnecessary sex scene and this is one  of those that just lets the story be told. There are a few sex scenes, and they are necessary to show the development of the relationship between the MC's. 

This is definitely a must read. It can be read as a standalone but the first book is great as well and I recommend both. 

Prince Ladon and His Omega by Freya Kith

I really liked this story, its different than the Mpregs that I had read in the past because usually they just ghost over the birth part. This one however does not. There are some bumps in the road between the MC's, quite a few because of what happened 20 years ago when there was a war started in the European dragon shifter community.

Avery is a very independent person ever since he could be, since he was never aloud to be when he was in the system in the home, he was forced to go to doctors and had no idea what was wrong with him, when he aged out of the system and left the home he never looked back. When Ladon comes along all he wants to do is protect and take care of his mate, easier said than done when dealing with someone who has only known independence for a few years and wants to keep it that way. Ladon hasn't spoken to his friends or family since he went against his father and left his home. Now he will do anything to help save Avery from an implant that is making him sick.

There are some bumps in the road, including a pregnancy that neither of them knew could happen, but both needed.

* There is a very detailed birth scene, and a HEA.

This is a very good start to a new series
