Baby Donor: Poppy Field Omegas Book 3, Beau Brown

When presented with the future he wants by the very person he could imagine sharing that future with, Ace is beyond tempted.  But is what Wyatt really offering everything Ace wants?  Both of these men are trying to fight against an incredibly strong pull toward one another but for very different reasons.  For Ace it's trying to protect his heart against an inevitable heartbreak from the alpha of his dreams that's determined to not be involved.  And for Wyatt it's that he isn't interested in family life whatsoever but can't deny his carnal interest in Ace...or so he deludes himself into believing it's something that simple.  When fate has another idea in mind for the two of them it's only a matter of time before they either give in to what could be or if they'll let pride and intractability keep them from a greater happiness than either could ever imagine.

Ace reads younger than he is.  His shyness and eagerness and fumbling is more cute than alluring and yet he captures the interest of Wyatt.  He believes the best of the sexy alpha and his admiration grows into a bit of fantasy and wishful thinking.  Despite those increasingly sexy thoughts he has for the enticing alpha he doesn't think he could ever capture Wyatt's eye, let alone his heart.

Wyatt notices the young omega.  Each encounter increases the intensity of his attraction.  When they get a chance to communicate beyond their usual donor appointment dialogue it's clear that there are some serious sparks between them.  Whether those sparks can grow into something deeper and longer-lasting, however, is the question.  Wyatt is sure it's just physical until a force compels him to be near and to protect Ace.  This compulsion leads him to make the offer that sets them on the course of their destiny and only Wyatt's brand of obliviously fatalistic honesty can derail it.

I liked Ace far more than I liked Wyatt.  Wyatt's denial of everything throughout pretty much the entire story wore on me.  Ace's submissive character merely brought out momentary feelings of ambivalence toward him but it's his refusal of Wyatt's second proposal that makes me really love him.  Not giving in despite wanting the man so very much took courage and an inner strength that's admirable.  Only when Wyatt opens his eyes to everything he's missing out on, what he was denying within himself does he do what's necessary to get Ace back.  The ending was satisfying and I appreciated all of Wyatt's efforts to show Ace what he felt and the kind of future where Ace could truly be happy.
