What was a part of a short story anthology is now an expanded version. Jae and Curtis might the two sweetest men in the universe and the story of how they get together is a sweet, low-angst treat. Their story had me smiling and swooning the whole time.
From the Mate Match: Curtis & Jae blurb:
Mate Match, the love matching app with the highest success rate in the market! No one can beat us at finding loving, long-term romantic relationships for our members. We use in-depth questionnaires to get to the heart of what you want in a partner, or partners.
Worried about his upcoming heat, Jae signs up for the Mate Match app to find an alpha, not only to get him through it, but for an actual partnership, something he hasn't experienced before. When he meets Curtis, the strength of their connection sends him into an early heat. He asks Curtis to take him through it and is surprised at their compatibility in and out of the bedroom. Could Mate Match have really found him someone special?
When Curtis was pushed into signing up for the app by his friends, he truly didn't expect to be matched with someone as sweet and sexy as Jae. He was even more shocked to be asked to go through a heat with the omega. Can he convince Jae to take a chance on him for something more?
A surprise pregnancy threatens their relationship, putting their Mate Match to the test.
Mate Match: Curtis & Jae was previously released in the Knotting Hearts Charity Anthology. The story has since been expanded with more than 20k of additional content. You can expect this MM omegaverse, mpreg story to have a whole lot of fluffy sweetness, heat, and a cute baby.
Angel's review:
This story was previously apart of the Knotting Hearts anthology but has since been expanded. I didn't have the chance to read this while it was apart of that anthology but I think that was for the better as I got to read a longer story about these two sweet men.
Both Curtis and Jae have had bad luck with relationships and neither of them really want to use the popular dating app. With the help (more like meddling) of their best friends, they end up matching and the rest as they say, is history!
This is such a sweet romance story there is heat throughout, but at its core is sweetness and adorableness. Jae has been treated poorly in his past and all he wants is someone to love, support, and be there for him. Curtis has longed for a family of his own but no one has ever felt right until he meets Jae. I thought the way they took their time getting to know each other was really beautiful, yes there were spicy scenes early on as Jae went into heat, but even after his heat was over they gradually got to know each other over time which I liked a lot.
Curtis is the epitome of a Cinnamon Roll Alpha, he'll go to war for his mate but he's a big softie inside. The way he treats Jae is full of respect and love, and Jae loves and respects him right back. Their relationship is truly so special and I love them together!
The side characters were intriguing and interesting in their own right, my heart broke for Brady and I hope both him and Marty get their own stories at some point. I'll keep my fingers crossed for that!
GreenwingReads review:
Jae and Curtis might the two sweetest men in the universe and the story of how they get together is a sweet, low-angst treat.
After a disastrous relationship with the alpha his family picked for him, Jae is ready to find his a mate for himself and signs up for the Mate Match app. He doesn't have much luck at first, but keeps with it until he is matched with Curtis, a caretaker alpha with a lot of love to give. They hit it off immediately on the app and their first date is perfect, until Jae goes into heat early. After spending his heat together, Curtis and Jae are all in and falling in love.
Their relationship story is very low-angst and they fit together like puzzle pieces. Their chemistry is hot and despite working in vastly different fields, they have a lot in common. They align in every way that matters and things progress well until Jae finds out he is pregnant. It's a surprise (especially since they used protection), but they want this baby and continue to grow closer as they await their little one.
There is mild drama outside the relationship that keeps the plot going and interesting. The chemistry between Jae and Curtis often had me smiling. They are really cute together. I also loved the side characters, the MC's best friends, and hope they get their own stories. I'm looking forward to more from this world. This book was ultimately a sweet palate cleanser of a romance perfect for a day of relaxation.
Mate Match: Curtis & Jae is currently available as an e-book and paperback
