It was a pleasure to read this beautiful, heartwarming MM romance. The story-line & plot is entertaining, well thought out and written, the pace is steady and not rushed. The characters are well-developed with individual personalities and they react with realistic & believable emotional feelings to the situations they find themselves in.
There is: an alpha trying to console himself after another failed attempted at love (Max Griffin), his cheating ex (Ethan), his pervert of a boss (Malcolm Hayward), a rather naïve but feisty omega has a passionate one-night stand with Max & discovers there are consequences (Riley Landon), his despicable ex-boyfriend (Kevin), caring friends (Noah, Damon & Anders), some twists, some violence, memories, unexpected attractions, fantasies, tension, accusations, verbal conflict, threats, attempted seduction, rejection, heartache, attempted reconciliation, doubts, attempted blackmail, verbal banter, love, happiness, some steam & a interesting epilogue.
His Innocent Angel is the first book in the Heaven’s Ballroom series by Aiden Bates. This is an m/m romance with an mpreg element. Max and Riley each have bad luck with relationships and so a one night stand may sound like the perfect thing for them regardless of how combustible their chemistry…. but a surprise pregnancy may force them to realize that a happily ever after is possible after all. The story has angst and drama, it has flirtation and steam, it has humor and sweetness. Overall it is a fantastic story with interesting characters.
Riley is so sweet and wants to believe the best in everyone, often to his detriment. His co-workers at Heaven’s are supportive in the best ways. Max is ready to move on and is not expecting his attraction to Riley. They have their ups and downs ahead of them and they just met.
Max and Riley’s story is amazing. Both having been cheated on and learning to trust again. Lots of heartfelt emotions.
*WARNING* contains explicit sexual m/m situations and adult language
Two men hurt by cheating exs find each other on a rebound. They have ach have trouble believing things can be different. Can they get past prior experiences?
This is about an alpha/omega male couple, but it’s a situation that many people deal with. I like that this has a nice balance of PNR and reality.
Absolutely love Max and Riley. Ethan, Max’s cheating ex, just won’t stay away. I didn’t like the way Max wasn’t more forceful in pushing Max away. I didn’t like Max’s relationship with Hayward, his boss. Thank goodness for Riley’s good friends/fellow dancers, Damon and Anders. Will Riley and Max get on the same page? Can Max successfully guide them through a courtship? Will Max find a workable solution with his pervy boss? This is another library worthy book. This is a really good story, with great friends. Mr Bates keeping his bar high. I received an ARC from Booksprout for a review.

The story is about learning to trust. The main characters, Max and Riley are just out of relationships where they were cheated on. They have a one night stand and complication happen because of it. I enjoyed the story and it can’t wait for the next one in this series.
Max and Riley have both been betrayed – and both in the recent past.
Drawn to each other, they take some risks, and end up with a surprise baby on the way.
Can they move past their trust issues, and hang onto like and love, and build a future together?
It might be a bumpy ride, but dancer Riley is used to a little bump and grind.
Steamy m/m and m/preg romance.
