Because of Them (Because of Love Book 2) Kindle Edition
He's too young, too immature, too irresponsible. But she's perfect, and pregnant with his baby.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ exactly what my heart needed to read - READER REVIEW
A young at heart gym junkie must learn to become the man she deserves in this deliciously steamy and achingly vulnerable Australian romance.
____
Michael
My life is changing, and I’m not sure I like it. I’m definitely not ready for it.
My dad wants me to take over the family business, my mum wants me to settle down. And Audrey wants me to be the man she deserves. The man they deserve.
I want to be him too, but I keep messing up.
Audrey
Just when I thought I was settling into my new life, two little lines threw all my plans out the window.
I was building my career, adjusting to life as a single mum, and had no desire to ever change a dirty nappy again.
But plans change, just like I need Michael to.
Because of Them is a steamy romance about falling in love, fighting for it, and accepting the changes it brings. A standalone story, it is the second novel in Bookstagrammer Devon May’s Because of Love series.

Such great character growth!

- Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2024Format: KindleI just adored Michael and Audrey’s story! I didn’t read the first book, but I also didn’t feel like I was completely out of the loop on what happened prior to reading the second book.
Michael was supposed to be a fun fling after the devastating divorce between Audrey and Callum. So imagine her surprise when she sees two pink lines. How is she going to raise a baby on her own? Surely she couldn’t count on Michael the body builder, Michael the young guy, Michael the fun fling. Not after how he ran out and left things the last time after meeting her daughter. But he does have a right to know about the baby.
The character growth of this young body builder is crazy to witness on the pages! So much tension, tender love and care, and some awesome 🌶️ 😉.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI despise the accidental pregnancy trope. The "oops we got pregnant and everything is happy ever after" during the act three breakup is less than thrilling, but Devon May absolutely nailed it this time around. No spoilers, it's just not your normal trope. It was done in a very realistic and normal way. The MMC, Michael, truly is a golden retriever and I love his character arc! Big fan of Devon's work, as usual!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2025Format: KindleMy ratings for romance and spice are 💖💖💖/🌶️🌶️🌶️. The books in this series are standalones.
This is the first one I've read so far because I just stumbled upon a post asking for ARC readers for this book. I'm so glad I signed up and can't wait to get my hands on her other books! I was giggling and blushing through most of it 🥰🫣.
This is a spicy contemporary romance with:
• fake dating
• he falls first
• she's afraid of love
• biphobic family
• sexual content
• light BDSM
• only one bed
- Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2024Format: KindleBecause of Them puts a refreshing twist on the accidental pregnancy trope with a reverse age gap and real-life challenges. Michael and Aubrey’s “fun” fling suddenly shifts when Michael panics and ghosts her—only to find out she’s pregnant. Aubrey is a divorced mom, and now she’s faced with raising a second child with a younger, commitment-wary partner.
I loved how grounded their relationship felt, especially Michael’s journey to prove he can be the man Aubrey and their baby need. Aubrey’s strength and relatability really shine here, making this story an emotional, steamy look at love and growth.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2024Format: KindleBecause of Them was a beautifully written story about a freshly divorced mum who meets a young, gorgeous man and has a mind blowing fling. Little did she know this fling was going to turn into so much more.
I found the story and characters to be realistic and relatable, the author easily brought out the emotions with her beautiful writing. With a few surprises along the way, it was a wonderful read. 😍
The book is second in a series but can be read as a standalone. I loved the little sneak peak we get for the third book. 🤩
- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2024Format: KindleAudrey is now a single mom, watching her ex-husband Callum and his new girlfriend Cassidy fall in love. Michael is young with no cares, but fun for the time being. Previously, when Michael met her daughter Maisie, he ran out. Audrey is left wondering if she will ever find love again. Michael, realizing his mistake, will not give up trying to contact her. Until one day, a positive test makes Audrey respond to Michael's messages.
The feelings and characters in Because of Them are relatable and realistic. I fell in love with the characters and felt every emotion along with them. Be sure to pay attention to the trigger warnings at the beginning. None were that bad for me, but it may be different for others. Just remember while reading, some things may not make sense based on where you live, such as Christmas being hot in Australia.
I absolutely loved this book as well as the previous books. You're missing out if you haven't picked up these books and love some romance with some spice.

I've read and enjoyed a handful of books with the accidental pregnancy trope but I think this one is my favorite one!! It was so well thought out and written perfectly in a very realistic way which I really enjoyed.
Michael showed so much growth throughout the book and it melted my heart seeing him take care of Aubrey how he did.
All in all I enjoyed this book and I'm very thankful to have been part of the ARC team!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2024Format: PaperbackBook 2 in the Because of Love series by Devon May. This is a single mom “age gap” second chance romance with an accidental pregnancy bringing the couple back together after a few weeks apart. It took me a second to get in to it, but once I got in there I loved every second of it. The insecurities that both Audrey & Michael felt, the way they had to work through things, they were strug-ah-ling, but that’s what I liked a lot about this book is the realness. I related to a lot of Audrey’s feelings and fears.

5.0 out of 5 stars ♾️/5 ⭐️ 3/5🌶️
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis book was stunning.
Michael 😭 he’s such a sweet and caring man. I absolutely adore him. (He reminds me a lot of my husband actually!) his determination to better himself to be the man he thinks they need 😭 Chapter 40 absolutely ruined me. I cried so hard for him.
Audrey is such a guarded and gentle woman with obvious doubts and reservations because of the fall of her marriage to Callum (Book 1 Because of her, MMC). But when she finally opens up to Michael and what they have together it is just beautiful.
Please read this book. But please if you have had a traumatic childbirth experience please e check Triggers. It took me right back to my Emergency Caesarean section and it was done so beautifully and so accurately. 10/10 I was right back there and it actually made my scar feel all funny thinking about it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Because of Them is an absolutely beautiful book ❤️
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis book absolutely blew me away and I am so happy I got to read "Because of them", the second book in Devon Mays "Because of love" series.
I'll admit I went into it slightly hesitant knowing there was a surprise pregnancy in the book but wow was it done so beautifully.
I can say with 100% honesty that this was exactly what my heart needed to read and so far this is my favourite book in the series.
I found myself teary quite frequently just a mixed range of emotions swirling around tears of happiness tears of sadness.
I don't want to give any spoilers here but if your a fan of romance. Of facing a new path in life or re opening a door thought long closed and finding new dreams this book is for you.
I adored this book so much and geniunely found myself in a bit of a slump when I finished it because it was just gorgeous.
I cannot wait for the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and heartwarming
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis was such a beautiful book.
So many gorgeous and heartwarming moments, and then some extremely emotional moments.
This book really tugs at your heartstrings.
I think the relationship growth was beautiful and felt so raw and honest.
