Flying too close to the sun, not seeing the forest for the trees, and standing knee-deep in a certain river in Egypt. That’s the cage that Aaron has wrapped around himself—the lock that Logan is about to break open.

Matchmaker matched.

Once upon a time, Logan had a quick, wonderful one-night stand with a mysterious omega. He felt a real connection, something he’d never had with anyone else and hasn’t had again. When he invests in a dating app company, Almega, he never expects to find his unknown omega behind it all.

Aaron is a brilliant young software developer, a matchmaker that has brought together numerous new loves over the years. Yet, he’s never found anyone for himself. While this raises eyebrows, his clients have mostly accepted it. So did Aaron. Until Logan came on board with the company.

With Aaron’s dad hovering over the two, can they make their spark turn into something more? Or will it fizzle under the watchful eye of Almega’s owner?

Sweet Nothings is the final book of the East Coast Sugar Daddies series, a gay mpreg romance that will curl your toes and make you blow your nose. As always, there is no cheating , we guarantee a happily ever after ending, and this book in the series and every other book in the series can be read in any order.

This was definitely my favorite of the series. Logan is such an asshole, but he does redeem himself. I really liked this one.

(Review with spoilers)


Last book of the series. I loved it and I recommend it.


I loved Aaron since the previous books. He cared about people, he wanted to help them find happiness. And in this book I love him more. He's been trying to show his father what he's worth for years, but his father doesn't believe in him, and that affects him. Instead, Logan does believe in him. Aaron can't get along with him, not after what happened between them, but he knows he'll never do like his father, and he respects him. He sees the real Logan.

At first, I didn't like Logan. But I changed my opinión along with the story. Before the 'app problem', it was fun to bother Aaron. After that, not so much. He wanted Aaron to see that he respected him, that he valued his work. And when he found out the truth... He didn't know it was Aaron whom with he was that night, but he had missed him all that time. He loved knowing it was Aaron, although that complicated his relationship with his father. But that didn't matter, not as much as Aaron's happiness, or how to defend him. He wanted what he didn't want before, a happy ending, a family.

I love how the two of them are surprised when the app matches them, how it makes them rethink the situation, and how they see the other. Logan didn't take it that hard. He valued Aaron before that. And knowing that the app paired them was the push he needed to open his eyes, to recognize how he felt about him. But Aaron ... Even though he knows Logan is a good man, he hated him for what happened between them, for how he behaved afterwards. He thought he had failed with the app. He needed more time than Logan to admit his feelings.

I loved the ending.

I would have loved a happy ending for Spencer, Kade's friend. And for Cieran.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the fifth book in the East Coast Sugar Daddies series. In this book, Aaron, the omega who does the coding for ECSD, is asked by Logan to explain to him, yet again how the matches are made. Logan is the boss and Aaron knows he likes to aggravate Aaron, but he also knows he has to please Logan, even if he hates him. Aaron is horrified when he matches with Logan and thinks there are problems with the coding. Logan finds it funny he matched with Aaron and wants to pick on him some more. When Logan had a heated encounter months before at a Christmas party with an anonymous omega, he never found a him again and often wondered where he went. Logan is a playboy and never has relationships, but there was something about the omega he can't forget. When Aaron overheard Logan bragging about the encounter, he knew he could never let Logan find out he was the omega. Logan finds himself interested in Aaron, but he is best friends with Aaron's father and knows he would never approve, and besides Aaron hates him for some reason. Logan decides to get Aaron alone and find out why he hates him and if the attraction is mutual. I liked this story, i really liked Aaron, he dealt with so much with his father and he felt so alone without any support from anyone. I think Logan knew deep down that Aaron was supposed to be his and when matched with him, he knew it was time. Another great one from this series.

This was an enemies to lovers omegaverse mpreg. If you havent read any of the previous books then I reccomend you do before starting this one just so you know the characters better, Aaron is in all the stories and also past characters are revisited in this story. Aaron created an app and his father's bestfriend Logan had invested in his idea even those his father didnt support it. Logan is a jerk and Aaron can't stand the guy and Logan doesnt know the secret Aaron has been hiding all these years and Aaron doesnt want him to find out. Two years ago Logan had a one night stand at a party but the other guys face was hidden beneath a mask and once they were done, the omega couldnt get away fast enough and Logan never found out who that omega was and never could stop thinking about him even two years later. This was a fun and quick read and I really enjoyed this whole series and each couples story. I really enjoyed watching Logan and Aaron's feelings to develop for one another and there were some hott steamy scenes in there between the too but it wasn't over done.

This is the hottest losing your virginity with a total stranger story I have ever read. Whew! I was left reeling just like Aaron, the Omega MC for the same reasons. If you have read the first books, you will be familiar with the name Logan. No worries if you have not, this story can be read as a standalone. So, as a result of the closet scene, we now have a secret. And this secret drives Aaron's snarky behavior.

And I like secrets - especially if I am in the know - which we are in this story. It is painful to watch Aaron try to hide his feelings while Logan makes fun. "Would it really be the end of the world if we were matched? You look like you've been sentenced to the firing range." Uh yeah, it would be bad which makes it fantastic for us.

It was fun to watch Logan fumble and stumble to get his HEA. There is some hurt/comfort going on which makes Logan's sappy, cring-y grand gesture moment totally perfect. Yay to first time boyfriends!

This is the second book in this series I have listened to.

There is a lot going on, we have a not so great father son relationship. We have an employee boss relationship and an omega alpha relationship which is the same. There also happens to be a best friends relation ship as well.

Two years previous Logan had a quick romp in a coat closet at a party. Before he leaves he takes off his mask and the man he is with runs out as fast as he could. That man turns out to be Aaron his best friends son and a worker at the company he has just invested in. Aaron has known all along who was with him, but Logan did not and has had a hard time forgetting that man and wants to find him for he has never felt that way about anyone.

Can Aaron keep his identity secret from Logan? Does he still want to stay away from him. Will his dad accept them?

The narrators voice was not my most favorite but the story shines through for me.

Aaron is a feisty omega and the developer for a successful app. Logan is an arrogant alpha and the investor for the app. Working together is full of sarcastic banter and the tension is combustible! They both have a secret about a certain intensely passionate night that neither has been able to forget no matter how hard they try. Once they were matched on their app, the tension increases and so do the doubts. Their relationship - both personal and at work - is full of ups and downs, laughs, anger, frustration, and so much sexual tension!
This is a really entertaining story full of great characters struggling to find something real. And once they surrender to the sweet, long awaited love, they finally get the beautiful HEA that they deserve.

Masks and secrets, heartbreak and love combine together to make a great story. These MC's both wear masks and portray an image that isn't who they really are. I have enjoyed Aaron and Logan as in the previous books as they support their friends finding love and i was glad it was their turn.

Aaron and Logan are combustible and both men find their journey challenging. I really enjoyed their finding themselves and building a future together. I love that Aaron has finally found a champion to support his dreams. I also enjoyed Logan finding that connection that he so wanted.

This is the fifth book in the Sugar Daddies of the East Coast series and i wish these stories continued. I was enjoying the unique characters and i was hoping for a story and happy ever after for Cieran. Maybe their will be a spin-off that we will get to see more of this amazing app and more HEA's.

I really loved Aaron during the entire East Coast Sugar Daddy series. He has helped so may Omegas find their alpha to complete their lives and find their happily ever after. But it seemed it was not in the cards for him. Logan is a major invester in the ECSD app. and a pain in the but for Aaron. Hot and heavy sex in a closet at a masquerade party had made the relationship even harder. Only Aaron knows it was Logan the took his innocence. With Aaron's dad trying to derail Aaron and his work, and Logan always trying not to be a pain it was interesting to see how their relationship finanally came to be. Awesome story about how fate has a way of giving you what you want whether you think you want it or not. Loved the HEA.

Aaron is an absolute sweetheart and I have loved his parts in all four previous books, so its so good for it to his book. But wow what a journey we went on here. It was so nice getting to know the computer obsessed overworked Aaron, he was so much more complicated than I realised.
I have really noticed Logan as much in other books, so it was interesting learning about him.
This book definitely had me on the edge of my seat so many times, but to me that is a good book. Because if I don't see it coming then omg what will come, you know what I mean.
Anyway this is another absolutely fantastic book in this great series. Definitely a must read book, one that will get you hyped for sure. Grab it asap you won't regret it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the backstory of Aaron's animosity towards Logan who had absolutely no clue why Aaron seemed to hate him so much. Win hit the nail on the head about why Logan had so much perceived disdain for love and families and really got Logan thinking about why it was in his best interest to find his omega. It took Logan pulling out all the stops by proving his love to Aaron and defending him against his father for Aaron to admit he really did love Logan and to stop running from him. I laughed at Logan's reaction when he discovered Aaron was the one he'd been searching for. I loved it when Leo got all the omega's together for the retreat and seeing how everyone's lives had changed thanks to the app.

Right in front of your eyes! You may read this story with a smirk. Aaron, the developer/promoter of the app has a big secret. Logan, Aaron'sfather's best friend invested in the app. Logan spends the previous stories, picking at Aaron in a smug, teasing arrogant manner. Aaron, professionally respectful spends as little time as possible around Logan. But you can see Aaron has feels for Logan. Two years prior, they had a one off moment in a closet while masked at a ball. Logan has never forgotten the liaizon. Does Logan know the identity of the Omega? Does Logan want to know, find him? How long will Aaron hold his secret? This is a smirky, fun story. Its nice to see Aaron put on the hot seat. Excellent job, Mr Bates! I received an ARC from Booksprout for a review.

Two years ago Logan met an omega at a party they had a one night stand but Logan never even saw his because he had on a mask. Aaron is the creator of an app to match couples up and he’s been very successful so far so he puts himself through and gets matched up with Logan Aaron thinks that it’s a mistake and tries again but no he’s matched up again with Logan. Logan knows Aaron’s father so he invests in the app and when Logan finally knows the truth about the omega he had a one night stand with things get very complicated. I loved this story it’s an emotional read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

I didn't like Logan. I thought he was arrogant and rather insufferable, I guess he does a little bit of redeeming himself by the end of the story, but I'm not sure I really saw the shift enough to believe in it long-term. I felt a little sorry for Aaron with his interactions with Logan and his father, and I was glad to see him start considering himself eventually. I really just had trouble connecting the "love" connection between these two rather than a "lust" connection.

I did like the epilogue. I was a really sweet chapter.

**spoilers** Aaron has known Logan his entire life. What started out as a teenage crush grew to something more. Logan is all Alpha, a love 'em and leave 'em type not to be tied down. Of all the Omegas he's had Aaron is the only one to get under his skin. It take Aaron awhile but eventually he comes around and sees that despite outward appearances, Logan treats him differently and he learns that Logan truly loves Aaron. All in all I loved the characters and felt that they were well written and fleshed out. I wasn't left with questions.

Austin Bates' Sweet Nothings is the final book of the East Coast Sugar Daddies series. Ooohhh... this one is gooood!!!! Father's best friend romance... a secret masked rendezvous as an omega's first time. HOT!!!

Aaron and Logan are great! The interactions between the characters is entertaining and the chemistry steamy. The story is fun. A great way to tie up the end of the series.

Almega and ECSD led to life changing experiences for most of their test subjects. Could that be as true for the programmer and big investor too?

sometimes the app confirmed connections that made sense anyway - and big bad alphas suddenly finding their attachment and devotion to family and family life / quality of life - awesome payout!

stubborn flaming hot and sweetly romantic!

Modern Cupid using an app instead of a bow to match alphas and omegas for a long happy life together. He is Aaron, the dedicated programmer. His old, secret love for Logan, his father's friend, who is also his boss, keeps him isolated, suffering and doubtful that he'll ever find love, even if so many others did it through his app. After he admitted his fear, and Logan did the same about his pretending to not be interested in love, they both finally had their wish fulfilled with lots of happiness and family. Wonderful to read such a sensitive and powerful story.

Loved this series!

This was a great series! Enjoyed this Almega universe of rich sugar daddy older alphas falling in love with their younger omega soulmates brought together by an app. Aaron, his matchmaking and programming skills were key to all the previous romances in the series. It was good to see him and Logan find love with one another! I loved the end with the matched omegas only retreat as well as the reconciliation with his father! I look forward to reading other titles and series by Austin Bates.

Aaron and Logan, hooked up at a masked ball, neither knowing who the other was. When Logan removes his mask Aaron runs off. Logan looks for him every where.
2 years later, Aaron works for Logan at East Coast Sugar Daddies. It is a match making Web service. Logan has Aaron put him in the system and his match is Aaron.
This is their story. A sweet love story of misunderstandings. An easy fun read.

The final book in this series the story of Aaron and Logan. What a perfect way to end this series. Full of worry, doubt, running away and finally love. These two creators of East Coast Sugar Daddies app finally get around themselves and find their happily ever after. We also get to see several of the past omegas. Just wish Cieran had gotten his story. Perhaps Cieran will speak to our author and a novella for him will happen? Please...

Fantastic conclusion to the series! So glad to see Aaron finally meet his own match. Hoist on his own petard, so to speak, when the ECSD app pairs with the alpha he hooked up with anonymously at a party years ago…an alpha who happens to be his father’s best friend. The connection and heat level were great, as well as the snarky humor and awkward moments. Wonderful HEA.

Austin Bates has written another book in what I call the Sweet series. Aaron & Logan are featured in this book. Aaron is the computer programmer for the ECSD, East Coast Sugar Daddies new app. Logan is Aaron's boss and the investor for this app. To throw a curve ball into this mix, Aaron's father Thompson is Logan's best friend. With each other's past causing a struggle, Logan & Aaron must dig deep to fight for the love they are worthy of.

The App!

Aaran an Omega & Logan the Alpha are in business together. Aaran a programmer of an App that will find Sugar Daddies their ideal Omega and Logan the money behind the business. Two years before in a closet Logan took an Omega quickily kissing him into submission not knowing who the Omega was. This story is the best of five in my opinion. Hopefully there will be more, if not the series was a great read.

Logan and Aaron are the perfect example of ECSD East Coast Sugar Daddies. Having had a chance encounter years before these 2 dont come together till Logan has his profile matched with other candidates of ECSD and the results shock but this book really showed that you need to stick to what you really want and sometimes you need someone else to show they believe in you for you to believe it.

This is the final story in this group. Great story to read. Aaron and Logan finally get their story. Will the love they have for each other allow them to commit to each other in the end or will they end up lonely?
