This is my first time reading and listening to this book, and I will say this is my favorite out of the series so far. The plot, characters, and everything else was really interesting. For some reason I don't exactly have a whole lot to say, but I really enjoyed this book.
* Spoilers *
I will say that the Daddy/boy dynamic between Vincent and Mal was an unexpected surprise. In the beginning during the closet scene I suspected there would some sort of dominance and submissive dynamic between them, but it went in a direction that I wasn't expecting but really seemed to suit them. I really liked Vincent as a character and Mal as well. Despite what had happened in their pasts, they have been able to get past it and make their own future and happiness. I found that Vincent is a rather funny character and had me laughing at some of his comments with the single dads group and Mal. I wasn't exactly expecting the whole twist of Vincent's character and what he used to be. I suspected there was something up during the first night Mal and Vincent slept together, like maybe he was a beta or something, but to learn he used to be an omega was very interesting. I think this is a first time for me reading about what would technically be a transgender aspect/character in a book. It was really interesting learning about his feelings and what he went through, and I honestly feel bad that everyone back at his former home didn't accept him for who he truly was and that his ex-wife was so toxic and gave him a hard time for what he had decided to do to make himself happy. I do have to agree with Mal that just looking at him you wouldn't expect him to be anything but an alpha, but he has different aspects compared to other alphas, such as his deep understanding of omegas and his nurturing side to him that I really liked about his character. Mal and Vincent really fit each other, and I'm so glad that they both have found someone who appreciates and loves them for who they are. I honestly think that Nikki will be understanding of the truth to how she was born when Vincent reveals it as I don't see any way that she would resent Vincent for trying to be happy along with the comment she made about her mother not understanding that different people need different things to be happy. I honestly don't know if knowing the truth would make her feel negatively towards her mother or not, but I understand why Vincent wouldn't want to influence her decision on the matter.
I was a bit sad that Mal's children won't be biologically related to Vincent and Nikki, but that honestly doesn't matter since not being blood related doesn't make them any less of a family. I am looking forwards to seeing this family again in the future. I will admit though I was hoping Mal was less than 50 so that he would be able to have more time with Vincent, Nikki, and their children. I also highly doubt Mal will want to become pregnant again or if it would even be possible to get pregnant at his age since he has already achieved his dream of having a family.
There were a few things I didn't understand. The interaction between Mal, Everett, and Caleb in the elevator for instance. Mal had said they were acting like teenagers even though they are in their late twenties. Was their comment about finding Mal a hookup because they were making fun of his age or the fact that he was wanting to have children despite how old he was? That whole interaction was confusing and seemed to hurt Mal, so I had hoped to have gotten some insight on what had happened in Mal's point of view.
There was also the whole interactions with the omega doctor ( which I forgot how to spell his last name) who seemed to suspect Mal and Vincent of being in a relationship. I know this doctor appears in book 5, so I have an idea of what was going on, I'm just confused by how he behaved. On one hand he seemed to be really curious on Vincent and Mal's relationship and I'm pretty sure with how much he stared at them and a few moments during the clinical trial and his confrontation with Vincent, I'm pretty sure he has figured out that they were in a relationship. On the other hand he seemed to sort of resent Vincent for some reason if he was trying so hard to make Vincent confess about what was truly going on. Would he have went to the higher ups about it or would he have kept quiet about it seeing how much Vincent and Mal care for each other. I'm curious if he was curious about the fact that in his eyes an alpha and an omega are in a relationship but the omega is taking a clinical trial to get pregnant and the alpha is doing all he can to act like they are complete strangers while going with the trial to get the omega pregnant, wouldn't that cause curiosity for anyone about what was going on? He also seemed completely aware about by he cock cage and seemed even more depressed after that, which he would have known the reason behind that was to help with the pregnancy and it wasn't abuse.
