It’s hard to be a Jew on Christmas. Nobody brings me presents, like sexy Daddies or Peppermint Mocha Frappes (because, let’s be honest, I can totally sell-out if it gets me peppermint in my caffeinated sugar).
But do you know what I really want for Christmas? I want to know what’s wrong with the app so I don’t have to work on the weekend.
So maybe you can work on that, Santa, for the Jewiest Jew Boy ever?
Love and kisses, Levi
Saul shouldn’t be attracted to his funny and adorable employee, Levi. He shouldn’t be excited about debugging an error in the kinky dating together. And he definitely shouldn’t bring him peppermint mocha frappes just to see him smile.
Saul has enough to do with running a company and figuring out his gender transition on the job. But he can’t help wondering what it would be like to hear Levi call him Daddy.
Dear Daddy, Please Want Me is an office romance about an exuberant boy, a reluctant Daddy, and the age-old Jewish tradition of Chinese food and movies on Christmas day. It has plenty of kink and a happily ever after.
This book is part of the Naughty or Nice multi-author series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but there are so many boys hoping that holiday magic will bring them their perfect Daddy, why not grab them all?
There are some wonderful aspects to this story that definitely keep it unique from other holiday romances.
First, I love that Saul is trans, which adds a lot of layers to his personality. I appreciate the way Saul struggles with his body and the body expectations of being a Daddy. He's only transitioned recently, thus he still struggles a lot. The author includes an up close look at using packers and binders, and all the emotions involved. The author does a fantastic job in the overall development of Saul.
And, damn, I love the term "Manniversery."
The Daddy aspect is well done, with Levi being submissive and Saul being the perfect daddy for him. I love how Saul helps to calm the adorable Levi. Even better though, is the way Saul manages to spoil him. It's all perfectly sweet.
The two men have plenty of issues to deal with throughout, making for some honest and realistic conflict.
One of the highlights of this story for me is that Saul never thought of being a daddy. Until Levi. I like that being with the his boy also completes him in a way he never expected. And he ends up being a great daddy for his boy.
And then there's the cultural aspect. The author includes plenty of Jewish traditions and culture, as well as the emotions they invoke. It makes for some interesting conversations.
The writing is great, as Reese Morrison excels in developing intriguing characters with a wide range across the LGBT spectrum. With Saul being trans, the author once again explores that one's body doesn't define their gender. Reese also manages to explore that one's body may not be able to show their arousal in the usual way, but it's still there. I loved this little comment.
Dear Daddy, Please Want Me is a sweet Daddy kink romance. Reese Morrison sets this tale during the holidays, with the fun dating app front and center.
