Cutie the Cop has a problem…and it’s not just the nickname his famous and slightly offbeat new friend Austin has given him.

Gideon, aka Cutie the Cop, knows there’s more to life than just going from work to home, but he can’t get past the fears that are holding him back. As a cop with secrets, he knows he can’t share who he is or what he wants with just anyone. But when Austin drags him to a private BDSM club for the first time, he finally has a decision to make…continue to hide or take a chance on falling in love.

Knowing his fated mate is out there somewhere isn’t much consolation for an alpha Daddy who’s never been what most omegas are looking for. However, when a shy submissive is thrust into Jarrett’s arms during an altercation at the club, he knows things have finally turned around…but only if he can convince the small, bashful alpha that he’s worthy of his trust.

Sometimes secrets can drive people apart, but sometimes sharing those secrets is what can bring them together.



Story Contains: M/m romantic content, BDSM elements, age play with ABDL, and non-shifter alpha/alpha dynamics in an alpha/omega world.


Love & Secrets is a spin-off series from my Romance & Revolutions (alphas and omegas) series under the Shaw Montgomery side of my writing. The best way to enjoy the new series is to read them after reading the Romance & Revolutions books. My omegas are feisty and funny, and if you haven’t read about those guys, you’re missing out.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

MA Innes' Bashful is a fabulous age play romance. I love everything about this MA Innes read. Granted, I am always giddy to read age play, and no one does it better.

Cutie the Cop. I adore this nickname that Austin bestowed upon Gideon before knowing his name. It's fabulous.

This is the story of Gideon and Jarrett. I love the complexities of these men. Gideon is nothing like the typical Alpha. With the help of Jarrett, Gideon discovers and embraces his little side. And what a fun ride it is! 

Oh, how I love these men. Jarrett is the perfect Daddy dom, willing to help Gideon figure out what works for him. The transformation for Gideon into his little side is fantastic. I love seeing him forget about his worries and embrace his carefree side. 

These are two men who complement one another perfectly. What one needs, the other desires to offer. I couldn't ask for a better couple. 

This is a tale with a BDSM club and some great ABDL moments. I love that dynamics of these two, as the alpha is the submissive. 

As I've come to expect from this author, the characters are charming and wonderfully developed. The age play is front and center and absolutely amazing. I love the way this author writes age play romances and couldn't ask for anything more.

This series is a spin off of Shaw Montgomery's Romance and Revolutions series. It's easily read as a standalone, but I highly recommend you read the other series just because it's so damn good.

Bashful is a must read for anyone looking for an age play romance. MA Innes is a master at this trope and this is another fabulous addition to MA's catalog. I can't wait to see what else develops in this series. 

Something About Loren by M.A. Innes

 

Amazon Link   - Available in KU

Sometimes it takes a loved one to point out the obvious before we see it.

Loren knows he isn’t the most grown-up adult out there—though anyone who makes educational video games for kids can’t be too boring. Most guys he’s dated haven’t understood, but Gordon does. Loren’s loving boyfriend makes him feel special and cared for…but lately something’s changed.

Maybe leaving out crayons and buying dinosaur chicken nuggets wasn’t the best way to get Loren’s attention, but it worked.

Gordon knows Loren didn’t have the most emotionally supportive childhood, but the smart, funny man has grown into an excitable, loving boyfriend. However, when Gordon connects the dots and realizes there’s more to Loren’s desire to be young at heart than meets the eye, he knows it’s time to show Loren that sometimes being a grown-up means embracing your little side.

The development into this relationship is fabulous. I love how Daddy takes things slow, trying to keep Loren calm as he tries to introduce new things. Slowly. And subtly.

And oh, the diapers. Love these scenes.

Looking innocent and the picture of vanilla has allowed Archer to keep his personal life private from his nosy but well-meaning coworkers, but it’s also made finding Mr. Right almost impossible. When the outside is sweet and shy and the inside is full of curious needs, Archer doesn’t know how he’ll ever find the right man…because Mr. Tall, Dark, and Dominant just doesn’t show up out of the blue. Right?

When a dramatic breakup leaves Declan sleeping in his car, he vows to never to change himself for anyone ever again. But moving in with his new blushing roommate is testing his resolve. All he wants is to throw caution to the wind and explain in explicit detail about everything he’d love to do to the seemingly bashful man with the wandering eyes, but is that what Archer wants?

When a teasing flirt with a wicked grin meets a shy insurance salesman, sparks shouldn’t fly, but these two might just be a match made in heaven…just a very wicked one. 

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Archer & Declan, the fourth book in the Beautiful Shame series is fabulous. Good god, I love this story. MA Innes once again delights in this amazingly hot tale.

Their tale is hot, sexy, and unique. The men are intriguing and enjoy variety of kinky moments. There's plenty of cock cage moments, some hot voyeurism, and some sexy panties. 

And underneath all there scenes, the emotions start to evolve. I love the way this is done.

Finally understanding why love and attraction were always confusing for him has changed Leon’s life in more ways than he can count, but the biggest has been how he sees Morgan.

However, when finding out more about Leon means visiting his family for the first time, Morgan is starting to realize he should be more careful about what he wishes for.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Learning to Love is a fantastic age play romance by MA Innes. The second book in The Education of the Heart series, it picks up where Learning to Trust left off. And, omg, I love it!

Leon and Morgan are a professor and student in an age play relationship together. They're trying to navigate their way through their new lifestyle. As well, they are working on their D/s aspect, with some fun master scenes.

Leon and Morgan are truly wonderful together. Each brings out the best in the another. The trust and connection is wonderful. The love between them is all consuming and wonderfully developed. 

And of course, there's lot of heat! 

The writing is fabulous as usual. Nobody writes age play any better than MA Innes. You might find a few equals, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone better. And, as MA often does, appearances from past characters are included  which just ups the fun. 

Learning to Love is sweet, sweet, and more sweet. MA Innes perfectly sums up their relationship as a full time Daddy/part time boyfriend one. If you love age play romances, this one is a must read. Granted, all of MA Innes' books are must reads.

Leon’s always been on the outside looking in, and most of the time, he prefers it that way.

Leon’s never seen romance and attraction the same way everyone else has, and he doesn’t really mind that. When life is filled with everything from college classes to a best friend who’s a trouble magnet, who has time for romance anyway? At least that’s what he thinks until he meets his new roommate.

Morgan’s always been on the outside looking in, and college hasn’t helped the situation any.

When a difficult roommate situation goes from bad to worse, Morgan is happy to move into the privacy of an apartment. But when his toy-filled peace is interrupted by the stern but well-meaning Leon, he isn’t sure what to think. Just because Leon is sweet, take charge, and a has a thing for healthy eating doesn’t mean he’s a Daddy, does it? 

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Learning to Trust is a delightful age play romance by MA Innes. 

Morgan and Leon are college roommates who slowly develop into a Daddy/little relationship. 

It's great that Leon naturally falls into the Daddy roll. He's used to being a caretaker, having spent time helping his best friend Dustin with his little time. The ease in which he starts helping Morgan is fantastic. 

And then there's Morgan, who desperately needs a Daddy in his life. A college student, he needs someone to help him balance his work with his play time. And Leon does just that.

I love it all. It's fun and flirty, making me smile throughout. There's binkies, toy trains, and more. There's also plenty of Devon time to make you happy. 

If you enjoy age play romances, Learning to Trust is a must read. Everything about this sweet MA Innes gem works for me!

My Rating - 4 Stars!

The Only Way to Dream is a fun menage romance. The third book in The Mechanics of Love series, it is sure to delight all of MA Innes' fans.

Destin is interested in exploring BDSM, a whole big world of which he knows nothing about. He's a college student who grew up in a religious cult and is now interested in exploring his sexual desires. 

Upon meeting Ray and Avery, Destin takes an interest in both men. What follows is a fun development, as Destin learns that three can be together. 

Their story is a menage romance, with puppy play and an age gap. They are all wonderful together, in this fun, sweet, and easy going tale. Their combined dynamic kept me intrigued throughout. And the way Destin approaches Ray and Avery is wonderful.

As usual, I love the author's writing style. The characters are interesting, and the relationship development is entertaining. The book is charming with some light kink, and some tender emotions. 

The Only Way to Dream is a menage romance that is full of humor and heat. MA Innes entertains with this angst free romance.

Flirting with his friend’s father was supposed to be just fun and games for Derek, but what happens when teasing leads to unexpected questions and some surprising curiosity?

Derek has known the unflappable Sean for years and nothing ever gets a reaction out of the attractive older man. Nothing, that is, until Derek senses some unexpected curiosity from the man he always thought was straight. But who better than an adventurous switch to help Sean explore his wild side?

Sean knows better than to take Derek’s teasing seriously. There’s a reason he’s always called the impetuous younger man “the pest.” But when Derek’s playful banter leads to some interesting reactions, Sean has to decide what’s more important…hiding behind what he’s always assumed or finally getting to discover who he really was all along.

Review 

My Rating - 5 Stars!

The Only Way to Live is a delicious best friend's father romance mixed with some spicy BDSM. This MA Innes book is absolutely tender and exquisite.

The story of Derek and Sean, these two have a long, interesting past that includes a whole lot of shameless flirting. Derek's long been after Sean, the father of his friend Ethan.

I just love the dynamics in this story. Derek's a switch who works to wear down the older man, working for him to see what they can have together. Sean is not easy to win over, as he struggles with the age difference, which I enjoy a lot. 

Their story is fantastic, with great chemistry and fun changes in their long time friendship. Their story includes some hot scenes, including some luscious first times. It's refreshing the way that the younger man is able to introduce his older love interest to the world of BDSM. 

Derek, oh Derek. He's delightful as can be, full of spark, sass, and a dominant side. I love, love, love the way his switch aspect is illustrated. As for Sean, some of my favorite scenes are the awkward ones, as Derek pushes Sean into new situations. 

The secondary characters are fabulous, adding a nice dose of humor to the tale. Jules, oh how I love Jules and his little side. Just being friends, Derek completely understands Jules, supports Jules, and looks out for him. And wow, Sean's scenes with Jules are absolutely beautiful. Dear god, I love Jules, and these moments make me love Sean even more. 

The sex shop is awesome, including some hot moments and cameos of past characters. Seriously, I love the cameos! 

The writing is perfect, with a tone and voice I find soothing. The author excels in combining romance, steam, and character growth. Written in dual pov, the reader easily slips into the minds of both men, gaining fantastic insight into their feelings. As much as one might love a lot of hot sex in their books, it's the emotions involved with this one that makes it so damn fantastic. 

The Only Way to Love is a great read. It's a warm, comfy read that will also leave you fanning yourself often. It's truly a beautiful read, full of a heart-warming romance, mixed with plenty of steam and humor. I highly recommend this MA Innes read!

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Omg, as an avid fan of age play, MA Innes' Snow Regrets is intoxicating.

Joseph and Forrest are two men with a large age gap. The older Forrest has known Joseph since he was a young boy. Ohhh...that's all I needed to know. So much fun! Now stranded together in a cabin, their desires are admitted, resulting in a fabulous age play, Daddy kink relationship. 

I love it! Absolutely love it all! These two men are complete opposites, in life experiences and opportunities. The reasons for Joseph to fall easily into being a little are well developed. And the experiments with him being little are wonderfully explored. 

I love, love, love Joseph as a little. He is absolutely adorable and so darn loveable. As for Daddy Forrest, oh man, he is the perfect Daddy for Joseph.

If you enjoy age play, read Snow Regrets now! You will love these 200 pages of yumminess.
