My Rating - 5 Stars!

Ronan's Boy is one hell of a hot Daddy romance. This JJ Harper gem is part of the wonderful world of the Escape Club series, but it's easily read as a standalone. 

And omg, what a story! I love every moment of it. 

Cody and Harley are amazing together and their chemistry is off the charts. From their first meeting, to their developing relationship, to their sizzling threesome, every moment with these two is fabulous. 

Their story includes a lot of learning how to navigate their needs and desires. It's an insta love story that also includes a stalker element. 

Ronan's Boy is a must read if you're in the mood for a hot Daddy romance. This JJ Harper book will not disappoint. 

Love Unlimited (Love Language) by Reese Morrison

When you have everything you want, is it wrong to want more?

Dustin has the perfect summer to look forward to. His genderfluid boyfriend, Landon, is moving in so they can fully embrace the Daddy/boy dynamic they’ve both been craving. His best friend, Zhong, found an adorable partner in Ash, whose puppy play interests fit perfectly with an asexual Daddy.

And when the two couples spend time together, everything seems right.

Uniting two fragile, new relationships into a foursome could spell disaster. Or maybe their love for each other could be unlimited.

Love Unlimited has two Daddy Doms with very different age play styles, a fierce middle, an sweet little, impact play, puppy play, and a HEA for everyone. This is the fourth in the Love Language series celebrating Deaf characters and Deaf culture. It continues story lines from Love Lessons and Love Limits, which should be read first.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Love Unlimited is a fantastic romance in which two couples merge into one loving relationship. I absolutely fell into this Reese Morrison immediately and couldn't devour it fast enough. 

I love this book! It's emotional, hits on a unique dynamic, and is definitely hot. 

These men are all amazingly unique. And there's a lot going on in this book. Their tale includes living as a gender queer person, living as a deaf person, Daddy dynamics, age play, puppy play, and plenty more. There's some bondage and plenty of littles interacting. 

The age play scenes are wonderful, totally caring and sweet, and the puppy play scenes are heart-warming. I also really appreciate the comparison between age play and puppy play. 

But it's the four men together that makes this story so darn special. There's so many layers to each relationship and I love the way everything evolves into more. 

Love Unlimited is a great read. I love this romance and can't get enough of Reese Morrison's unique stories.

Can a singles’ holiday in Crete give two men who’ve never met, and only spoken via a hook-up app, what they both crave—love?

Apollo

A year of messaging on the Cuffd app has led me to understand one thing: Troy is the one meaningful relationship I’ve ever had. Two things are stopping it from being more, I’m an adult film star and there’s also an ocean between us. To claim my geek boy, I’m going to have to pull out all the stops and lay my heart on the line as I’ve never done before.

Troy

Apollo, my online friend gives me the confidence to take a trip to a place I dream of. Myths and legends are worth a little fear of flying, right? With the incentive of finding a Daddy who’s as caring as Apollo, what do I have to lose?

Greeking Out is a long-distance-friends-to-lovers story with a geeky boy who hasn’t been little in too long, a confident, caring Daddy who wants to give his boy the holiday of a lifetime, and a well-loved teddy bear. It’s part of the Destination Daddies multi-author series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but there are so many destinations and Daddies to discover, why not grab them all?

__________________________________________________

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Greeking Out is a great romance by Colette Davison. Part of the Destination Daddies series, it's easily read as a standalone. 

First we have Troy, a cute geek who loves Greek Mythology. There's a lot of fun mentions of particular myths, which is entertaining. 

Next, we have Apollo, who's a well known porn star. Good god, I love this part of his character. I enjoy how both men feel about his porn career, as well as the people who recognize him and how it plays into the story. 

As part of the Destination Daddies series, a large portion of the story takes place in Crete, as the two meet up for a get away. And I love everything about this. The setting is intriguing and the littles get away is delightful.

Troy has been talking to Apollo on the Cuffd app for a long time before the two meet in person. And, oh man, their connection in person is even better than it was online. I love it!

These two are extremely fun together, perfectly complimenting one another, with a relationship that naturally develops. 

And then there's the age play, of which I'm a total fan of reading. I love the way it's done here. The get away is the perfect place for them to experiment with an age play relationship. And, omg, I love all the littles and their little time.

This book is fabulously written. I found the getaway and age play elements to be very well written, and the characters are super addicting. They certainly mesh well and their romance is just beautiful. 

Greeking Out is a totally addicting romance. Everything about this Destination Daddies romance had me swooning and falling in love with these men. I will definitely be adding this one to my re-read list. And I highly suggest it the next time you're in the mood for an age play romance.

GeekBoy: What if I’ve forgotten something?

HungLikeAGreekGod: I’m sure you haven’t, but if it helps, you can tell me everything you’ve got packed.

GeekBoy: Really?

HungLikeAGreekGod: Of course. I wouldn’t have offered if I hadn’t meant it.

GeekBoy: Everything?

HungLikeAGreekGod: Everything, geek boy. Before you do, take a deep breath and a moment to calm down.

GeekBoy: Okay.

The urge to reply with “yes, Daddy” was overwhelming. Apollo wasn’t my Daddy and never would be, but it made me smile whenever he acted that way. Taking care of other people was probably as natural for him as breathing. Speaking of which… I took a couple of deep breaths. Once my mind was less of a whirlwind of panic, I opened my suitcase and carefully took everything out. I repacked everything meticulously, pausing between items to tell Apollo what I was putting into the case.

GeekBoy: Flip-flops and slip-on shoes.

HungLikeAGreekGod: They’ll come in handy. Do you have something more rugged for visiting Knossos and walking up to Zeus’s birthplace?

GeekBoy: My boots, but I’ll be wearing those on the flight.

HungLikeAGreekGod: I think that’s all the footwear you’ll need. What’s next?

GeekBoy: Five pairs of socks. To wear with the boots, not the flip-flops or slip-on shoes.

HungLikeAGreekGod: I’m glad that fashion crisis has been averted.

GeekBoy: Please. As if I would wear socks and sandals. Seven pairs of underwear.

HungLikeAGreekGod: That’s plenty.

I was almost disappointed that he hadn’t asked for more details. Why would he? We were friends, nothing more. Friends didn’t ask each other about their underwear.

GeekBoy: Seven T-shirts, four pairs of shorts, two pairs of jeans, plus the pair I’ll be wearing on the plane. Some little clothing in case I get the chance to be little. Two pairs of swimming trunks. A hat, sun cream, my toiletries bag, which has toothpaste, a toothbrush, and stuff to shave with. Lube and condoms just in case.

HungLikeAGreekGod: I told you. You have everything you need.

GeekBoy: Deodorant will be in my carry-on.

HungLikeAGreekGod: Good plan. What else do you have in your carry-on?

I added my favourite dildo to my suitcase and zipped it back up. Then I unpacked the small rucksack I was taking as hand luggage.

GeekBoy: Sunglasses, the aforementioned deodorant, currency, my wallet, a spare change of clothes just in case my luggage goes missing, my passport, and last but not least, batteries for my B.O.B.

HungLikeAGreekGod: What’s a B.O.B?

I snort-laughed at the thought that a porn star didn’t know what B.O.B stands for.

GeekBoy: Battery-operated boyfriend.

HungLikeAGreekGod: Why didn’t you just say dildo?

GeekBoy: B.O.B is more discreet.

HungLikeAGreekGod: You don’t need to be discreet with me.

Colette’s personal love story began at university, where she met her future husband. An evening of flirting, in the shadow of Lancaster castle, eventually led to a fairytale wedding. She’s enjoying her own ‘happy ever after’ in the north of England with her husband, two beautiful children and her writing.

Hope on the Rocks (Rainbow Cove #4) by Annabeth Albert

 

Amazon Link - Available in KU 
Goodreads Link

One too many…
Doctor Quinn Strauss is beloved by his small-town patients. He almost never drinks, especially not alone on a weeknight. But he’s heartbroken over an unexpected reminder of exactly how much his bad breakup has cost him. And the sexy ginger bartender keeps making him special drinks that go down a little too easy.

Take a drunk doc home…
Bartender Adam Ringer can tell when someone’s hurting, and the heroic local doctor is practically radiating pain. Adam’s a natural caretaker and can’t help but spring to Quinn’s rescue. And when the drunk and rambling Quinn reveals a mutual sexy interest, Adam’s other instincts are intrigued. He can’t wait for Quinn to sober up.

All mixed up…
When Adam offers Quinn a chance to explore secret desires he’s long repressed, Quinn finds himself saying yes to a summer fling with the younger Daddy bear. Falling in love isn’t part of the plan, but amid all their steamy encounters and intimate exchanges, a deep, emotional bond is forged. Summer is nearly over. Real life pressures are mounting. Can they grow enough to find a way to forever?

Hope on the Rocks is a brand-new, full-length Rainbow Cove novel featuring a younger Daddy and a doctor convinced he’s too old to follow his secret desires. Contains a lot of sexy exploration, opposites attract, loads of feels, and a guaranteed happy ending. No age play or cliffhangers!

My Rating - 4 Stars!

Hope on the Rocks is the fourth book in the Rainbow Cove series. This Annabeth Albert is a nice addition to the small town series. 

I like Quinn and Adam from the start. We first meet them in a cute, drunken moment that develops into more. 

The couple is certainly good together, as well as cute and good compliments for each other. I enjoy their opposite natures and the way everything develops between them. 

One of my favorite aspects of their relationship is Quinn's lack of confidence in having a Daddy. He believes he's too old to explore the type of relationship he wants. Luckily for him, Adam thinks that's BS.

I enjoy the way Quinn falls into calling Adam Daddy. It's both easy and natural, despite his hesitation. That said, I love the way their Daddy relationship plays out. They are definitely into the lifestyle, although it's not a 24/7 thing. They make it work the way they want it to.  

The migraines are a great addition to the story, both in moving things along for them, as well as adding a lot of heart to the story. If you enjoy a man who helps nurse the one he loves, you will appreciate this element.

Hope on the Rocks is a nice sweet and steamy romance. Annabeth Albert entertains in this Daddy romance. 

Understanding Desire (Club DeSires #2) by Quinn Ward

 

Amazon Link   - Available in KU  

Goodreads Link

They were both filled with regrets over the night they accidentally wound up in bed together. When they realize the chemistry is real, the fun begins...

Tanner has never forgotten the night he let his impulsive nature get the best of him... or the look on Ryan's face the morning after. He was certain he'd blown any chance of turning his fantasies into reality. When he's forced to face his brother's best friend, he has no clue how much his life is going to change.

Ryan kept his life packed into different boxes. When he was back home, he was the All-American boy next door. No one knew how much he craved hearing a boy call him Daddy. But it wasn't any boy he wanted... it was the one man he needed to stay far away from. There was no way his best friend would give them his blessing if he knew all the things Ryan wanted to do to Tanner.

The moment Tanner confesses to wanting all the things Ryan has to offer, what was supposed to be a weekend of exploration turns into something neither of them can give up. Will Ryan find a way to help Tanner become the boy he's meant to be with them living on opposite sides of the country?

Understanding Desire is the second book in the Club DeSires series, part of the kinky town of Annandale. It features a tender yet twisted Daddy, a boy with an exhibitionist streak he didn't know existed, and a host of friends who can't wait to corrupt Tanner's mind.
Note: This story is an expansion of Ring in the True, originally available as a free short story. The beginning has been expanded, and the story continues after Ryan and Tanner ring in the new year with style!

My Rating - 4 Stars!

Understanding Desire is the second book in the Club DeSires series by Quinn Ward. Another book in the Annandale setting, I love this fictional setting.   

This tale is smoking hot, with lots of controlled demands, sex toys, and risky moments. 

Tanner and Ryan are reunited and brought together by some nicely done forced proximity. They have some past issues to deal with, but soon agree to a weekend of daddy dynamics. 

With them having a long distance relationship, there's lots of steamy phone moments and built up tension. 

There are some family issues, as Ryan's brother is Tanner's  best friend.

There's pressure to stay long distance, which prolongs the tension and longing. 

I enjoy most of this book, but I didn't get any of the club scenes I wanted. There was anticipation and teasing of it, but the story ends before we ever get one. I was left wanting. 

I definitely enjoy the way the author writes, and the storyline is definitely enjoyable. I am always excited to read this author.

Understanding Desire is a good addition to this series. I hope we get to visit with the club more in the next book. But basically, I can't wait to see what comes next no matter what.

Double Shot (Bold Brew #10) by Gwen Martin

 

Amazon Link   - Available in KU  

Goodreads Link

Coffee, with a double shot of desire....

West is still floundering three years after a failed relationship spun his life out of control, and forced him to move back to his hometown. When he meets Rhys at Bold Brew, his curiosity sparks, and he wonders if the alluring photographer could be his shot at embracing the inner Little he suppressed in the past. Rhys's photos are a passionate exploration and call to West's needs and desires. 

Rhys loves to guide and nurture partners—then send them on their way. But something about West is different. The quiet man responds to Rhys's Daddy dominance in beautiful ways. And the camera loves him, too. 

When West agrees to a photoshoot, their chemistry ignites. Rhys and West are a perfect complement to one another's cravings. But can this double shot at love last as long as one of Rhys’s photographs, or will they drink their fill and move on?

Double Shot is a stand-alone novel in the multi-author Bold Brew shared universe centered around an inclusive coffee shop set in a fictional small city. Each steaming hot coffee shop romance can be enjoyed alone, but collect all ten for the most fun!

Potential Trigger Warning for a character discussing issues with alocholism. There is no replase on page.

My Rating - 3.5 Stars!

Double Shot is a good BDSM romance by Gwen Martin. The tenth book in the multi-author Bold Brew series, each book is a standalone. 

Wes and Rhys make for an interesting duo. The two start with some sexy photo shoots that include plenty of heat, and end up as Daddy and little. 

The Daddy aspect is a lot of fun, with it developing naturally.

The age play aspect is there, but isn't very developed. As a fan of age play, I enjoy the little ways that Rhys helps Wes to accept and be calmed by his regression. But, as a fan of age play, I really want more. Just more of these scenes. 

One of the men struggles with alcohol and it's a large part of his character. I enjoy the way it's all handled. 

My favorite part of this story is the erotic feelings evoked during the photo shoots. These scenes help the men give into their feelings and are just freaking hot. And, damn, I enjoy all of the photography element.

In the end, this is a story with some healing. If you enjoy hurt/comfort reads, you'll enjoy that aspect of the tale.

Unfortunately, I also felt disconnected at times. I would have preferred to have connected to the men more, with less description. Thus the lower rating, as my mind wandered from time to time.

Double Shot is a decent addition to the Bold Brew series.

A lonely Daddy. An innocent boy. A twenty-year age gap. Whatever happens next is in Daddy’s hands. 

Finding his way in life all on his own hadn’t been easy for eighteen-year-old Elliot Hedrick, but he’d managed to hold it all together so far. 

Even though it was just by the skin of his teeth. 

Between his warehouse job and pursuing a career as a professional ballet dancer, he’d been working sixteen-hour days and was still barely making ends meet. 

He was fraying at the seams. And he was so damn lonely.

There was nobody for him to lean on, nobody to come to his rescue when things fell apart—it was all up to him to achieve his dreams.

Then suddenly Grant Weston charged into Elliot’s life, his knight in shining armor—literally and figuratively—and despite their twenty-year age gap, Grant couldn’t seem to leave the boy alone. Even though Grant knew he should.

There were too many obstacles between them—and not just their ages. Grant had secrets of his own, ghosts from his past that made him hold back from taking what he really wanted from Elliot. 

And what Grant wanted was to make Elliot his boy. 

To have a true partner.

But Grant was afraid to trust himself—afraid that history would repeat itself and leave him with a broken heart yet again.

 Is age really just a number, or will the years between them end their relationship before it can even start? 

Finding His Boy is the first book in a duet taking place in the Safe Harbor universe but can be read as a stand-alone and has an HFN ending. This book is a 90+K word slow burn, steamy romance that features a Daddy/boy relationship between two consenting adult men. No age play. Dual POV. There are explicit descriptions of sexual acts, so this book is intened for a mature audience (18+). 

Trigger Warning: On-page physical assault (not between MCs), mention of sexual assault. 

My Rating - 3.5 Stars!

Finding His Boy is a good May to December romance by KD Ryan. The first book of the Safe Harbor series, it's a nice combination of age gap, daddy kink, and slow burn. 

Grant and Elliot's romance is one with a twenty year age gap. Grant's a teacher at the college who knows Elliot, as he used to teach at his high school. But there's nothing keeping them apart now, other than Grant's fear of how it would look. But damn, the man is terrified to come out as being involved with a former student of his and this greatly drives him. 

Elliot's a dancer who's alone in the world. His father died and his background is heartbreaking. The poor man. He's such a survivor after enduring all he has. He's a truly lovable character.

There's an attempted rape scene that is definitely a tough read. Avoid this book if that is a trigger for you. 

This attempted rape scene is what brings them men together. Grant's in the locker room and is able to save Elliot from being attacked. The interesting thing is how much they take note of each other's nudity despite the circumstances. 

Everything that follows is mostly total sweetness. The two can't deny their attraction and the way their connection grows is great. I enjoy the way they both help the other heal. Their relationship is definitely a slow burn one though.

Their story includes an ass of an acquaintance. They have to deal with some bad decisions and someone wanting to cause them trouble. It's always fun to have someone to hate.

One thing I found to be highly disappointing however is that we all know something fishy happened with the estate when Elliot's father died. It's mentioned and alluded to, but it's never brought up again. That's a big missing element to me. As Elliot's debt is a driving factor for his character, I want justice for him and am greatly upset that he never gets it. 

Overall, Finding His Boy is a nice read. KD Ryan packs plenty of great moments into this read. I am hoping the next book in the series is even better. 

Grant knew he should pull back, he should close the door—that would be the smart thing to do. He should be respectful of Elliot’s privacy. 

Because if he crossed this line, there would be no going back—all of his noble rationalizing about not taking advantage of Elliot’s vulnerability would be out the window. 

But fuck, the boy was incredibly gorgeous—the planes of his slim muscular body highlighted in a soft blue glow from the moon, his face a study in shadow and light. He looked so young, so vulnerable, and so ripe for the taking. Exposed, ready for Grant to sink his teeth into the pale expanse of flesh on display, to mark Elliot as his. 

If Grant stepped further into the room now—and he wanted to, oh he’d never wanted anything so badly in his life, he could taste the wanting like metal on his tongue—where would that choice bring them? 

Because the boy had no clue what Grant wanted to do to him. 

He couldn’t know how Grant wanted to use him. To flay him wide open with word and action and touch, and pick apart the soft tender insides of him, to leave him wanting and vulnerable and his. To deliver the safety and comfort and pleasure that his boy craved and that only he—Grant—could give.

Grant’s own possession. 

His boy. 

Those words—his boy—they acted like a bucket of cold water—a wave of uncertainty and apprehension to temporarily subdue his lust. Was this just history repeating itself? Would Elliot realize a year down the line that Grant couldn’t give him what he wanted, and Grant would be left high and dry once again? 

Could Grant risk his heart like that again? The thought of sharing that experience with someone, only for his heart to be trampled, handled carelessly, and discarded…  

He should leave now, back out and pretend he’d never been here. Just leave and act like nothing had changed the next day. Leave this beautiful boy whole and innocent and let someone else break him in gently, softly, like he deserved. Someone he could grow with, change with, learn with. 

Fuck, he was a coward. 

But then. 

But then Elliot opened his eyes. And he parted his lips. And he kept on pumping his hand up and down as he locked his eyes with Grant’s, his heated gaze burning with open desire. 

Desire for Grant. 

And Grant knew he couldn’t walk away.

Just a dreamer fueled by coffee who’s been writing about love that comes in all forms since she got her first word processor. Passionate bibliophile and lover of science, caretaker of humans and friend to dogs.
