My Rating : 3 out of 5 Stars

The fiance isn’t real. But the feelings might be.

A spoiled, alpha playboy prince and a penniless commoner must fake the romance of the decade to save the throne…

Gabriel

As the Crown Prince of Merovia, all my life I've known that I can have any omega in the world with a snap of my fingers.

That is, until Noah.

I've never met an omega like him before: he's gorgeous, vulnerable and irresistible all at once. I want to hold him, to keep him safe and guard him fiercely from the world.

When we get tangled up in a fake tabloid romance to save my reputation, we fall in love with each other for real and I put a baby in Noah's belly. I almost dare to hope that things will go well for our little, growing family.

But the royal family has its fair share of skeletons in the closet, and the latest one to emerge might ruin us for good...

Noah

My life used to be normal, until the night I met Gabriel.

Before him, I was just trying to make ends meet. I worked three jobs to make rent, pay my sister’s medical bills and take care of her cat Agatha.

I clearly didn't have time to play pretend fiance to a playboy prince to save his name...but I really needed the money.

But Gabriel's not like any alpha I've known before: he's kind, protective, and his body keeps a virgin like me up at night.

If only his enemies don't tear us apart before we have the chance to be a real family...

A Fake Fiance M/M Non-Shifter Mpreg Romance.

The Omega's Royal Baby is a 30,000 word steamy, knotty and romantic mpreg romance with a guaranteed HEA! 

First of all, I need to say that I DO  like Mpreg story, but omega non-shifter was not really my thing. 
But I must admit that the book cover looks really promising and the blurb intrigued me enough to make me decided to give the book a try, so I read it.

I think the story have huge potential to develop into something that could be more 'gripping' if the story not ended too soon and keep floating on the surface.

The story start with a very interesting plot about a playboy alpha prince with full scandals in his life who must make a fake engagement to an ordinary omega from lower class to save the Prince already bad reputation from getting even worst and also to save his position as the crown Prince and the throne.

Like what always happen to ALL  story which start as fake relationship, there's always unexpected growing feels that come between the two MC's as they play the charade. And THAT is the part I love from this trope!

Gabriel didn't expect that he will have a growing feeling to his fake omega fiancé, but he can't no longer denied the comfort feeling he felt while Noah beside him and lights his lonely life when all people he first thought as friends always betrayed him for money. But Noah was different, even he actually being paid by his mother to be his fake fiancé for 6 months, but Noah has become a fun companion who he can trust in just short time they spent their life together.

Things were actually good at first half of the story before it falls into a typical omegaverse story. The omega accidentally get pregnant and you can guess what will gonna happen next to the rest of the story. 

And the next thing you know, you crave for more and the book just ended like that. It's kinda disappointed a bit you know, BUT I do like Gabriel and Noah. They're very lovable characters and adorable. But the rest of the story didn't give what I actually need, a story that gripping you enough rather than a repetition of the common pattern : fake relationship-turn real love with accidentally pregnant omega and a sudden protective alpha and ended with a baby. Because I need more...

Not gripping enough is the main reason this book didn't fulfill my expectations. But the story is sweet enough to enjoy.

Oh I also have this growing curiosity about Gabriel's cousin, Lucas. And I do really wish that he will have his own book because I think he also has interesting story to tell...
