First (99 Daddies #1) by Casey Cox

 



Amazon Link - Available in KU
Goodreads Link




First: (adverb)
a: before another in time, space, or importance.
b: for the first time.
See also: Stirling "First-Time Daddy" Bishop.

A boy who can't find what he wants.
A Daddy who doesn't know what he needs.

With his big blue eyes, lean frame, and propensity for adorkable clumsiness, Mikey Harrison is a Daddy magnet...for the wrong type of Daddy. Those who mistake his desire to serve as an open invitation to mistreat him and abuse his trust.

But all of that changes when he lays his eyes on Stirling Bishop. Sure, the strong, silent (and irresistibly sexy) type ticks all of his boxes, but it's the tenderness underlying Stirling’s strength that makes him achingly irresistible.

For Mikey, it's insta-love.
For Stirling, it's insta-huh?

Despite looking like he was put on this earth to be the Daddy of every boy's dreams, the thought of dating a younger guy has never even crossed Stirling's mind, much less the idea of being a Daddy.

But there's no denying that Mikey awakens something deep within him—the desire to dominate, the need to care. It's been dormant, yet bubbling under the surface within him for his entire life.

Can Mikey help Stirling find the strength he needs to be the Daddy he was meant to be...and become the Daddy of Mikey's dreams?

My Rating - 4 Stars!


First is an impressive book by Casey Cox. The first book in the 99 Daddies series, it's a fun May to December romance. 

This age gap story starts off with plenty of humorous moments. Mikey's job assignment is not your typical job, and there's plenty of fun to be had.  Meanwhile Stirling's a reluctant guest at his friend's birthday party. But spotting the intriguing young man across the room chances everything for him .

Stirling's never been a daddy before, but his friends are and he's familiar with the world. He's always struggled with the term before, but meeting Mikey has him re-evaluating his beliefs. 

Take note though that there isn't a whole lot of kink or daddy play going on. It's definitely used more as a title than as a part of their behavior. I am okay with that because everything else was so sweet, but some people might not be. Definitely skip when you're in the mood for some heavy kink.

Their opposite personalities are fabulously illustrated. Stirling's so quiet and serious, yet tender. Mikey's talkative and can't sit still. Their differences definitely add to the fun. 

Written in alternating 1st person pov, the emotions jump off the pages .
Hesitancy. Awkwardness. Fear. Vulnerability. Understanding. It's all wonderfully done. And I love the tone, characters, and storyline. Basically, I am excited for the rest of this series. But I am not going to be assuming the others will have heavy daddy play.

First is a great light kink tale. Casey Cox excels in combining heart, humor, and kink (sort-of) in an emotional way.  Both men are real and genuine in this story of taking chances, opening up, and acceptance.
