This is a good funny very light fast paced story. Kirby and Amery are a great couple who had me wanting to see them get their HEA within few pages. Jake Amery’s ex is a complete idiot. I wish that we learned more about Kirby past and present life the book focuses on Amery. I also wish all the sex scenes had been written out some were summarized, but the ones that were written out were hot. I like Porn with Plot even if it’s a light plot. The ninth book in the Midnight Matings series was a fun romp that will have you laughing. It also has the distinction that it can be read as a standalone, so you don’t have to read books one through eight to understand what is going on; but just know the premise that all supernatural beings are being forced to mate and so all the pairings in this series are basically “arranged marriages.”Amery is a witch who finds his mate at the UPAC Gathering. Kirby is a shape-shifting spider monkey who doesn’t like the idea of being tricked into mating, but upon meeting Amery changes his mind pretty quickly. The two men give into their attraction and have mating sex. Cue HEA and the end, right? Wrong. Seems Kirby did not know that male witches can get pregnant and now his new lover and mate is up the duff. Conflicts arise over this little nugget, then add in the fact a person from Amery’s past tries to tear them apart and you have plenty of conflict.This is the first Joyee Flynn book I’ve read and the first in this series I had heard about. I picked it because the premise sounded quirky. Men pregnant? Sign me up. I’d love to see a guy get fat, hormonal and have to pee every five minutes. This plot point was used effectively and with humor. However, there was one pet peeve I did have about the mpreg trope and that was the author made Amery too feminine. Yes, I understand Amery was pregnant, but he also cried at the drop of a hat before he was knocked up. Gay men who cry continuously in m/m romances are just not my thing. So that particular character trait did push my rating down .And while I did enjoy the novel, it was only on the most superficial level, as there wasn’t enough depth on the characterizations and plot for it to be an outstanding book. So basically, if you take this book as a fun summer read, you’ll have no problems.Dark Divas Reviews
