Poppy Field #10
Cops & Kids
An Mpreg Romance
Jackson MacDonald is an omega with opinions. He’s in no hurry to be claimed by an alpha, whether others think he should be or not. Baby’s aren’t his thing, and he’d prefer to focus on his job as a police officer. He’s not thrilled about being sent to Poppy Field as punishment for ignoring a direct order at his other department, but at least he’s still a cop.
Cal Miller has been looking for his omega for years. He’s thirty and more than ready to settle down, but none of the women he’s dating is exactly what he wants in his omega. When he first meets Jackson at a work party, they get off on the wrong foot. When he’s then partnered with Jackson, they struggle to understand each other.
Gradually, Jackson and Cal become good friends. Cal is unsettled about the strange attraction he has toward Jackson, but not brave enough to explore those feelings. Jackson would be happy to help Cal examine his possible bisexuality, but Cal is way too afraid of what other’s might think.
When Cal finally gives into his attraction to Jackson, it’s the best of both worlds: they’re best friends and lovers. But when Jackson gets pregnant, they have to make a decision: get rid of the baby, and keep Cal’s secret safe, or let the world know the truth.
This is a sweet and sexy, contemporary, non-shifter love story with mpreg and a HEA ending. Though part of the Poppy Field Mpreg Series, this standalone story does not need to be read as part of the series.

This was book 10 in the
"Poppy Field"
series. Cal who is an alpha police officer and the brother of Skye who we met in the last book. He meets Jackson at a work Halloween party. Jackson is an omega who was transferred to Poppy after he disobeyed his superiors he is not happy about his punishment of 6 months. While at the party he insults the town and Cal who is straight is a mild manner alpha is upset. When this book first started I didn't like Jackson he was rude and arrogant. As time goes on he and Cal becomes friends. Cal is looking for his omega ghost he is ready to settle down and have kids and when books up with a woman he met in a bar they get busy out back and Jackson observes them going at going at it Jackson sees a different side of Cal. This was a good read that I liked when Jackson tells Cal that he maybe be bi he doesn't know how to handle it he has strange thoughts about him. Cal jumps into a relationship with Penelope and when she meets Jackson they don't like each other and as he gets to know her Cal starts to see that she is not for him. I loved reading this series and I hope that this isn't the last book. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling.

Another great read to the Poppy Field series. This is a well written enemies to lovers romance between Jackson and Cal. The author does a great job developing the story and giving them a slow burning chemistry. I loved the story line and watching the two men come together. The story moves at a steady pace and had me hooked from start to finish. I would recommend this book.

❤️ IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE ❤️
💕 “It’s a wonderful life.” No — this book isn’t a retelling of the classic Christmas movie. Those are the words that the two main characters, Jackson and Cal, use to describe their life by the end of this
sweet m/m romance. 👮🏻♂️❤️👮🏼♂️ COPS & KIDS is an enjoyable read and one of the books in Beau Brown’s POPPY FIELD MPREG series.
👮🏻♂️ Cal is an alpha and loves being an officer of the Poppy Field police department. He’s dated many female omegas and is frustrated that he hasn’t found the one who is right for him so that he can start the family he has been dreaming of for so long. Cal has always dated women and has never been attracted to a man.
👮🏼♂️ Jackson is an omega and is not happy that he has to spend six months as a police officer in Poppy Field before he can return to the force in El Paso. He just wants to focus on his career; he has no interest in building friendships, finding an alpha, being in a committed relationship or having kids.
💫 Life isn’t always predictable. ✨ Sometimes, people’s lives turn out to be quite different -& sometimes much better!- than they ever imagined!!😊💗

This is a story that begins with dislike and ends with love. Cal is a alpha cop in Poppy Field and Jackson is an omega who has just been transferred into the police department. Jackson is not happy and not afraid to let anyone know it. Cal despite being angry at first, finds himself drawn to Jackson even though he is straight. There is a lot of complications, including Cal being in the closet with Jackson. Babies? Jackson doesn't want one. An alpha?...forget it. Now Cal on the other hand wants babies and an omega to make up a family he can love and protect. A verbally abusive father leaves Jackson angry, alone, as independent as a hog on ice and not seeking love. Can Cal change his mind? Can his love for Jackson bring him out of the closet? Can an unexpected pregnancy change the way they think their lives should be going? An excellent story. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.

4.5 stars. Jackson and Cal are one hot mess. They have more baggage than an airport. Both of them are ruled by fear. Once Jackson's childhood was explained I understood what made him terrified to be under any alpha's control. Society's expectations of what and how he should be also made him extremely resistant as he doesn't fit the mold. Cal seems to have it all together and a genuinely nice guy until Jackson makes him question his assumptions of himself and narrow visions of what his life should look like. It takes most of the book for these two to figure their crap out, let go of the fear and expectations and embrace how perfectly they fit. I liked how they complemented one another's strengths and accepted the other regardless of what the rest of the world said were their assigned roles. The ending is super satisfying.

Fantastic
Possibly the best book of the series. It seemed longer than the others but every page was well written. Definitely a slow burn as it takes a while for Cal to see the fabulous person in front of him as a love interest. But once they got together, it was hot and wonderful. Enemies to friends to lovers and bi-awakening and surprise pregnancy. A tremendous mesh of loads of favorite tropes in a way the flowed seamlessly and had me hooked throughout the book.

I'm okay if one of the MCs was playboy and love to fooling around but not in the present like this one. Jackson witnessed when Cal had sex with a redhead girl in his car, I HATE THAT! and it happened again with Penelope. NO WAY!!!!
Aside from those things, I really enjoyed this book. Their interactions, the dramas, their struggle to admit their own feeling and their journey from enemies to friends to lovers make me keep going reading this book until the end.

Touching and sweet
Jackson and Cal are certainly going to steal your hearts. This love story is so darn good. With one not wanting a lover and family and yet one man wanting that plus the white picket fence. This book was cleverly written in a way that allowed the chemistry of each man to bloom and come forth with their own timing. I highly recommend this book and series to others.

SWOON❤️❤️❤️
I loved this book! I always love anything by Beau Brown! I really felt for Jackson because he had to sit by and watch Cal with other people but I know that helped to make the slow burn between them. I loved how they became best friends first and remained that way! I can’t wait for more!

Loved it!
An enemies to lovers book that is a great addition to the Poppy Field series.
It's a rather sweet story with and the angst mainly self induced but it's sweet to see them resolve their differences and admit their feelings, which is helped by the support and encouragement of friends and their limited family.
Beau's books are an auto buy for me.

The first half of the book was really frustrating for me, took me a while to warm up with Jackson lol. Anyway, I love how it turned out. As always, Beau Brown never disappoints! Hoping there will be Poppy Field Book 2 where all the poppy field babies are the main characters ❤🙏🙏❤ I think I formed an attachment to baby Danny 🤣

It was overall alright but I missed the Mpreg aspect.
I was expecting more from the mpreg part. It was definitely a slow burner and we didn't get the mpreg until the very end. It wasn't that incorporated into the book which was sad because that was my main reason of wanting to read this book.

Good book, needs an editor
The first half was OK; a bit bland and I found myself flipping through most of the first half. The second half was better but my word, the use of semicolons was over the top. There were several grammer issues that were hard to just gloss over.

Facing the truth
I really enjoyed reading this story. If a woman did what Cal did by sleeping around like he did,she would be called a lot of horrible names. I am glad Jackson came into his life.

Love wins
I love this series. Cal is a cop looking for love. Jackson doesn't want to be a normal omega.
They overcome a lot to get where they end up. Great story!

This was the first novel I’ve read by this author, and while the premise intrigued me, I found the writing style somewhat lacking in vividness and detail. The prose often felt sparse, which made it difficult at times to fully immerse myself in the story, envision the settings, or connect deeply with the characters’ emotions. That said, I did appreciate the authenticity of the "enemies" dynamic between the leads—it felt genuine rather than superficial, and added a satisfying layer of tension to their interactions. The book is a slow burn, and although that occasionally led to moments of frustration, I ultimately enjoyed the way the romance developed over time. As an Omegaverse novel, however, it leaned more toward the conventions of a typical MM romance, with the exception of the pregnancy element. I would have liked to see more traditional Omegaverse aspects included—such as the universal presence of slick among omegas, knotting, and the influence of pheromones—which were noticeably absent or underdeveloped. Including those elements would have enriched the worldbuilding and added more nuance to the dynamics between the characters. Despite that, the story did an excellent job of portraying the emotional journey of coming to terms with one’s sexuality. I found Cal’s internal conflict deeply relatable, and his arc was portrayed with sincerity. Jackson, on the other hand, is a character shaped by profound trauma, and the way his past continued to influence his thoughts and actions felt both realistic and heart-wrenching. His slow steps toward healing, particularly in reconciling with his father, offered a meaningful sense of closure that felt well-earned. Overall, while there were aspects I wished had been more fleshed out to make the readers to connect with the characters.
