Bel's Bewildering Assistant (Underworld Mates Book 2) by Athena Steller


BEL'S BEWILDERING ASSISTANT is a fated mates mpreg underworld romance.


From the blurb:

Atlas


Stalking a monster? Probably not the smartest thing that Atlas has done in his life. Following that monster into hell? Yeah, Atlas should probably be concerned about his safety. Except the demon that Atlas comes across is offering Atlas everything he’s ever wanted. A job, a place to live, and family. And the possibility of so much more.

Bel

Running an errand in the human realm changes Bel’s life in an instant. He hadn’t noticed being followed back to his office by a human, but the moment he scents the man, Bel knows how special Atlas is to him. Thinking quickly, Bel offers his human mate a job as his assistant in the hope of keeping him close.

Bel is bewildered by Atlas’s easygoing nature especially when Atlas overhears Bel revealing they are mates. Everything is going great with their mating until something happens that no one had thought possible. A baby? Bel is pregnant? How did this happen? It’s going to take a strong mate bond to keep Bel and Atlas together as they confront challenges that most male couples never have to face.

The author admittedly took many liberties with heaven/ hell lore while writing this series. This book contains Mpreg (Male pregnancy), an unexpected surprise pregnancy. This book contains M/M sexual content (men having sex with each other). This book is an exploration of a relationship between two (male) consensual adults who are looking for love and acceptance. All characters in sexual situations are over the age of consent. No cheating or cliff hangers.


Molly Otto's review:

When Bel is sent topside to fetch movie theater popcorn & cherry slushees he doesn't expect Atlas. Atlas is minding his own business working when Bel approaches and Atlas know he must follow the monster to see if he can find out the truth of what happened to his family. I appreciated Atlas and his thirst for knowledge and understanding of this new world, making his transition run as smooth as one could expect from someone new to this world. These two are frigging adorable and court one another before mating and with all their 'helpful' friends you cannot help but question how the underworld runs as smoothly as it does. With a balance of antics of their found family and two souls forming a lasting bond it's a feel-good read all around. Athena dove into the world of mpreg with this story and had a fun take on the genre and utter cluelessness of these demons not really understanding their backgrounds. With a great balance of found family, humor and heat you cannot help but want more from this universe and see who gets stuck with this chaotic family next.
