Blurb: Aiden was an Omega who needed a job doing what he loved. He never imagined he’d meet his fated mate during the interview. He was ready to bond right away, but something stopped his Alpha from claiming him. Aiden’s patience held strong, but being near his mate every day without bonding threatened to drive him insane.
Brandon owned a successful company, and he wanted to share that success with his mate and their child. But the continued thefts troubled him and the last thing he wanted to do was drag his new mate into any danger.
Danger found them anyway.

Review: Brandon had taken over the company after his father and he was in need of some help. Damn thieves were stealing him blind, ok maybe not, but he needed to find out who was behind it. He also needed some help, but what he had not expected was for the new worker to be his mate.
Aiden wanted his dream job or at least close to it. He was good at his work and knew it. He hadn’t expected to walk in find his mate and be given the job with in seconds of each other. His mate was going to drive him crazy though, and if that man didn’t claim him soon well he could not be held accountable for his actions.
I have a blast reading about omega’s who can get pregnant, it always makes be laugh my ass off. This story really doesn’t have any world building just meet, find out they are mates, play it off a bit, then find the trouble, mate and have a baby. Aiden comes off pretty good and a pretty unique omega, where as Brandon comes off more annoying. Here he has his mate standing in front of him and it is work he aims at. Makes Aiden wait a bit to be mated, but there doesn’t seem to be real chemistry with them like there should be.
The danger that was provided from the thief was taken care of pretty fast and there was no real drama to it. I would have perferred to have a bit more of it to make the story more exciting, but it didn’t turn out that way.
Other than my issues with it, the story was a fun little one to read. I am afraid that I can’t imagine myself reading it more than once though, but it was still a nice read. There just wasn’t anything to it that would make it explosive. I hope the next book will have a bit more to it.
