Love Unlimited (Love Language) by Reese Morrison

 


Amazon Link   - Available in KU 




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.

Love Limits (Love Language #3) by Reese Morrison

 



Amazon Link - Available in KU
Goodreads Link





Ash wants a Daddy. Zhong wants Ash.

But Zhong knows he can't give Ash what they need. He's asexual, and when he looks for someone special, it should be someone who will be satisfied with what he can offer. Right?

Zhong has never been enough for anyone else, so when the playful sub who loves board games and wants a Daddy bounces into his life, he knows he’ll have to sit on the sidelines.

But as Zhong grows closer to Ash, he learns more about himself. Maybe he can be the Daddy Ash needs. Maybe his love doesn’t have to have limits.

Love Limits contains a caring asexual Daddy, a genderqueer sub, age play, puppy play, sign language and a HFN. Love Lessons and Love Limits share intertwined characters and timelines, and this book should be read only after reading Love Lessons.





My Rating - 5 Stars!


In Love Limits, once again Reese Morrison impresses with complex characters. I love the whole Love Language series so far. With this being the third book in the series, be sure to read them in order. 

This part of the series is about Zhong and Ash. It follows the same timeline as Love Lessons so it definitely helps to read both. We learn more about Dustin, and wow, some new things come to light that surprise and confuse Zhong.

Zhong is asexual and panromantic, with the most complicated of emotions. Or I should say, he struggles to understand love and his wants. He's a total cuddle slut, which I came to adore in Love Lessons. And it isn't until now that he learns he was in a relationship with Dustin. 

Oh, I adore how clueless and complex Zhong is. His asexual side is beyond perplexing to him.

Add in the multi-layered Ash and things get even more convoluted.

Front and center of this story, and series, is the deaf community. There's plenty about the deaf community and the complexity of dating a hearing person if one is deaf.  I absolutely love and appreciate how much it means to Ash to find friends who are in the community. As Ash had discovered, living in the hearing world has it's own set of complications. I appreciate how much they enjoy finding people who are also deaf. 

Ash, oh sweet Ash. Ash is gender queer, born intersex and deaf. Ash longs to find a Daddy for themselves, as well as a handler during puppy time. Talk about a particular and complex set of needs. 

There is a whole lot of in depth discussions about polyamory in this book. I won't give anything away. But all the characters understand that for some people polyamory is the best choice. Given Zhong's asexual status, I enjoy the way this is all discussed.

At the heart of the story, Ash desperately wants a Daddy. They're instantly attracted to Zhong, but Zhong is far from Daddy material. Or is he? 

I don't want to give anything away, but, damn, these two are so good together. They're such opposites, but their desires and needs mesh well in the end. The journey to get there though is full of doubts, fears, and plenty of internal debate. It isn't easy. But it's worth it.

And oh, the puppy scene is just darling. This is my favorite moment in the book. Most of all, the amount of trust it takes for Ash to become a puppy and lose their ability to communicate is amazing. It's remarkable and absolutely beautiful that Ash can trust Zhong to care for them in this moment. 

In addition to all I mentioned above, I love the relationship between Ash and their mom. Omg, the fact that they are so open about their sex life with their mom is truly remarkable. I love it. 

Once again, the author excels in developing a multi-layered tale with complex characters. No one is better at writing diverse and unique characters. Sexuality and gender play a large part in who these characters are, and the author wonderfully develops and explores this. Hell, the fact that Ash is intersex and it doesn't matter at all, is stellar! 

Love Limits is a sweet and tender romance. Reese Morrison once again impresses and entertains in this romance. This is a must read when you're in the mood for an emotional romance. The heat isn't here for this one, which makes sense given Zhong's sexuality. But the emotions are front and center throughout.

Love Lessons (Love Language #2) by Reese Morrison

 



Amazon Link - Available in KU
Goodreads Link



“Come here,” Dustin repeated, his dark eyes serious.
Landon put his hands on his hips and stood his ground. “Make me.”
He knew he was acting like a petulant teenager, but this was Dustin. And with Dustin, he felt safe.
Please, he thought, please, please make me.

Landon doesn’t need anyone. So he’s confident that when he offers to train a nervous, sexy Dom, nothing will come of it.
But Dustin has some things to teach him, too. Because Dustin uses sign language and asks him questions that no one else bothers to ask. Because Dustin wants him, no matter how he presents his gender. Because when Landon rebels, Dustin’s there to keep him in line. And when Dustin makes him obey, it feels real.
Real enough to call Dustin his Daddy.
But these are just lessons, right?

Love Lessons has a nervous new Dom, a confident and genderfluid sub who offers to train him, age play with a middle, a bit of angst, and plenty of sign language. Love Lessons and Love Limits share intertwined characters and timelines, and should be read together.

This expanded edition features a new cover and over 15,000 new words including multiple new and enhanced scenes throughout the book.
 





My Rating - 5 Stars!


Reese Morrison's Love Lessons, the second book in the Love series, is fabulous. 

As in Love Language, the author packs a punch with the complexity of everything tackled in this book. It deals with deafness, ASL, gender-fluidity, BDSM, age play, asexuality, and more. Any of these aspects would have made an interesting read on their own. But, weaving them all together is extraordinary. 

It's impressive the way that the author handles Landon, who's a multi-layered character. He can't hear, he's gender fluid, desperately needs age play, and has a lot to learn. I adore the way Landon/Nina switches ages and gender so easily. But even better, is the way that Dustin recognizes the change instantly. 

And in a fascinating move, Dustin has an auditory processing disorder, which amps up the importance of ALS and communication in this amazing read. 

This story includes a kink club and plenty of kink, including sensory depravation. But, seriously, imagine the issues these two men face with their hearing problems during DBSM, and everything is increased tenfold. 

Landon is so damn confident in his sexuality, but he's also unaware of what he wants sexually. With Dustin's help, Landon's able to figure out what works for him, as the two struggle to figure out what works for them together.

Poor Dustin is so damn weighed down by his past. He struggles to trust himself, as well as trusting a sub. It's a complex issue and it's beautiful in the way it's handled.

This is a story of facing fears and taking chances. It includes sexual exploration and relationship struggles. They are so close, but struggle to make things work. 

In addition to everything else that is tackled in this book, the author also adds in an emotional issue with Landon teaching deaf students. It's a terrific storyline on it's own, and adds tremendously to this tale. 

Overall, Love Lessons is a fantastic read. Definitely check it out when you're looking for a BDSM read with a complex storyline and even complex characters.

Dear Daddy, Please Want Me (Naughty or Nice #4) by Reese Morrison

 








Dear Santa,
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?
 



My Rating - 4 Stars!

Dear Daddy, Please Want Me is a compelling Daddy romance. Part of the Naughty or Nice multi-author series, this is Reese Morrison's contribution. 

This is a tale of co-workers, employer/employee, and a dating app. Working together, trying to find the glitch in the app, brings Levi and Saul close together.

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.

Amazon Link  - Available in KU
Goodreads Link





A magical moment.

A single night.

A collection of stories about first kisses, second chances, kinky explorations, and having the confidence to ask for what you want.

Five whirlwind relationships celebrating queer bodies and queer love.

**************************

Waiting for You: Taylor has been pining for his best friend, Julio, for most of his life. But he knows that he’s too big, too fat, and too plain to ever appeal. It doesn't help that his secret desires for lace, makeup, and submission don't match his outsides at all. He could never catch Julio’s eye, could he? (MM, friends-to-lovers)

**************************

Here for You: Eric has always avoided dating. But something’s different about the new sub, Micah. He’s both vulnerable and strong, owning his disability, his transgender identity, and his unconventional desires. Eric is happy to arrange a group scene for the night... and perhaps look for something more tomorrow. (MM, first time)

**************************

Game for You: Ben and Parker have been circling each other for years in a frenzy of insane dares and sexual innuendo. But as two Doms, they know they could never get together. Enter sassy, gorgeous Dakota, a perfect mix of masculine and feminine, and a perfect challenge for the two men to claim. This story contains spanking, whipping, an erotic game of darts, and an even sexier bet. (MMX, friends-to-lovers with someone new)

**************************

Back for You: When Nina was betrayed by her teenaged crush at their all-male boarding school, she vowed to move on in her life. She transitioned to being the woman she always knew she was and didn’t look back. But when she meets a gorgeous new customer, it takes only a moment to recognize those eyes. Angel has a new name, but she’s as intense and commanding as ever. And she wants to ask for another chance. This story contains role play, spankings, foot worship, and a chance to reclaim the one who got away. (FF, second chance)

**************************

Time for You: Charlie knows that she’s too old and grumpy for someone like Carla. He’s young, dapper, confident, and most of all, just as butch as she is. It’s easier to just ignore his flirting and push away any hope for something between them. What would that even look like? When Carla asks her out, Charlie has to decide. Can she take the risk to not only trust Carla, but explore sides of herself she never dared to face? And if she does, will Carla still want her? This story contains shibari and first-time submission. (XX, friends-to-lovers, younger Dom/older sub)

**************************

The first three stories (Waiting for You, Here for You, and Game for You) were previously available as separate books.






My Rating - 5 Stars!

Whirlwind is a fabulous collection of 5 Reese Morrison stories, all revolving around the Whirlwind bar. I love that it isn't the main setting, but rather a place all the couples hang out.

**************************

In Waiting For You, we get the romance of Taylor and Julio, best friends and business partners who secretly love one another. In a nice twist, Taylor is a large man who desires the smaller Julio to dominate him. Theirs is a story of secrets being unveiled, and desires being satisfied.

Both men are lovable. Taylor's overweight, looks like a bear, but doesn't have the mindset of a bear. He prefers femme clothing, including lace, as he enjoys being pretty. I love these two friends who have secret desires that perfectly compliment one another. Their story is full of heat, including BDSM, spanking, and bondage.

**************************

In Here for You we get a stupendous BDSM romance between Micah and Eric. 

Micah has a secret desire to be dominated, held down, and taken by multiple men at the same time. Being transgender, he's always struggled with baring both himself and his desires. He also has a physical disability caused by his cerebral palsy, which is well written and explored.

Eric's a Dom who is able to give Micah everything he's ever wanted. And oh my, I just love him and his connection to Micah.

Their story is multi-layered with characters full of pain and doubts. The plot is serious, yet fun. And be ready for some serious heat!

**************************
 
In Game for You, we get a fabulous menage romance between Ben, Parker, and Dakota.

Ben and Parker are great friends, both in love with each other, but sexually incompatible. Both are Doms, and soon they find the answer to their problems in Dakota. 

With Ben and Dakota immediately attracted across the bar, things get fun. 

In general, there's a lot going on in this story. Ben's biracial, never fitting in fully, always just seen as a black guy. Parker's trans and has been abused and disowned by his family. And Dakota is intersex. I love how all are explored.

The gender identity issues are in full force throughout and make this story extra special. 

**************************

In Back to You we a second chance romance between two trans women, Angel and Nina. 

The two have a messy past, and a lot of new things to unveil about themselves. Their tale involves some forgiveness and a new chance. 

I love how their kinks align, including roleplay and a foot fetish, which is rare to see in a book. 

This story involves two POC in this hot, erotic, and sweet tale. 

**************************

In Time For You, we finally get to see Charlie finds love, with the trivia guy Carla.

Charlie's a butch queer, while Carla's a transgender man. It's cute and sweet, as Carla finally gets Charlie on board with a date. 

Charlie's interested, but is full of doubts, all because Carla loves kink and she's never been involved with kink before. Charlie has a lot of baggage and has a journey to get past it. 

Their tale is hot and intense, with everyone accepting each other. It's fun, playful, and passionate and a lot of fun. 

I love how Charlie can trust Carla. They understand that everyone can have different feelings about their bodies. I applaud the author for the  way they explore this with Charlie. 

And then we get some Shibari, which is hot, but gentle and freeing. I love how Charlie discovers new likes and new things about herself.

**************************

I love the representation of varied genders, races, couplings, and gender expression. It's as varied as you'll ever get, and it's wonderful. Reese includes a variety of employment types, backgrounds, and body types. 

Overall, Whirlwind is a fabulous collection of 5 stories, all of which start at the Whirlwind bar. All the people involved are part of a type group, making for plenty of fun moments.

His for Hanukkah (Traditions #1) by Reese Morrison


Amazon Link - Available in KU
Goodreads Link




Most people like vacations. And Christmas. They both make Adam want to scream. And kick things. Anxious, lonely, Jewish, and in serious need of a Daddy, Adam finally loses it in the lobby of his favorite BDSM club--right in front of the guy he's been crushing on.

Tate's been dreaming about Adam for a long time. Trying to pick him up for a scene seemed to scare him away, and he worries that Adam wasn't as accepting of his transgender status as he'd hoped. But when the sobbing boy seeks comfort in his arms, he hopes this can be another chance.

When Tate learns how invisible Adam feels being Jewish during "the holiday season," he sets out to win his boy over by making him his for Hanukkah. He plans to spoil him with eight nights of affection, laughter, and submission, showing Adam that he can be the Daddy that he deserves. But will it be enough for Tate to keep him after the holiday's over?

The Traditions series follows the Jewish calendar in making old traditions new and bringing romance to life. The series features many transgender, genderqueer, and gender-bending characters, as well as BDSM elements. As the series is united by a theme rather than characters, the books may be read in any order.




My Rating - 4.5 Stars!


His For Hanukkah is a wonderful holiday romance. This Reese Morrison book is the first in the Traditions series. 

From the start, I enjoyed the writer's voice, making it easy to get sucked into this story. 

Adam and Tate's story has a lot of layers. Adam desperately wants a Daddy in his life. Tate's attracted to the young femme man, but still struggles with being accepted, as he's trans. They're two men with an equal attraction, and some miscommunication in their pasts. 

Adam's a brat who's never found his Daddy, till now. I love his brat side when it comes out. And he's about to get the best gift ever - a daddy for Hanukkah. 

This is a tale with plenty of heat, lots of emotions, and some tender romance. The sex is hot, with some spanking, a St Andrews cross, and more. But it's the relationship that I love. It develops over the holiday, with the feelings becoming all too real, and it's perfectly beautiful. 

One of the overwhelming feelings throughout is that of Tate and his trans status. I love that he finds the man he loves accepts him as is, and actually sees the benefits of Tate being trans.

The author also adds in a lot of information about the history and culture of the Jewish community. It's well done, adding in info here and there, resulting in me learning a lot. As for the Happy Holidays term, the author is spot on.

His for Hanukkah is sweet, with just a little bit of angst, and will leave you excited for the holidays. Reese Morrison definitely had me riveted by these men and their story.

Love Lessons has a nervous new Dom, a confident and genderfluid sub who offers to train him, age play with a middle, a bit of angst, and plenty of sign language. This book is the second in the Love Language series, but it can be read alone.





My Rating - 5 Stars!


Reese Morrison's Love Lessons, the second book in the Love series, is fabulous. 

As in Love Language, the author packs a punch with the complexity of everything tackled in this book. It deals with deafness, ASL, gender-fluidity, BDSM, age play, asexuality, and more.

Love Language by Reese Morrison






Blurb

A younger Dom. A grieving sub. Two men whose kinks don't match (or so they think) connecting in ASL.

Marco and Greg would both rather be anywhere than a kink club on Valentine’s Day. Marco doesn’t have the patience to speech-read in a hearing crowd. And Greg is still mourning his Sir who passed away three years ago.

But when Greg steps in to explain something in ASL, Marco can’t stop thinking about the light he sees in those sad eyes. Strong, older, fluent in sign language, and sweetly submissive, Greg is exactly Marco’s type. Even if Greg isn’t ready for another relationship yet, Marco isn’t ready to let him go.

Greg thought that he would never want to date someone again. But as painful as it is to admit, he’s starting to feel like it might be time. Marco is like no one he’s never met. Small, twink-ish, and over a decade younger, and a Daddy, he isn’t at all what Greg imagined in a Dom. Yet he’s undeniably attracted to his care and control, even after Marco reveals that he’s transgender. Slipping into ASL, the language of his childhood, Greg wonders if he might have a second chance at love.

This book contains hurt/comfort themes, lots of heat, and a HEA ending.


Review 
My Rating - 5 Stars!

Love Language is a wonderful romance by Reese Morrison. And, yes, it has all the kink I've come to expect from Reese.

This is the beautiful story of Marco, a deaf trans man and Greg, a man still mourning the loss of his sir/husband of twenty years. They meet at a BDSM club during Valentine's Day. 

They have a good connection and strong chemistry, but their fears are overwhelming as they're two men full of doubts. They like to please one another, giving each other the things they need, but there's always the ghost of Greg's ex between them. 

As for the BDSM, I love the way it's illustrated here, with a heavy focus on communication about their needs, wants, and desires. Their relationship is all about finding out what works for both of them, and I love it.

And as for the heat leavel, wow, just wow. This one is smoking hot with bondage, sounds, voyeurism, and humiliation. It is freaking awesome!

Love Language is an emotional journey of healing and love, all told around a spicy BDSM relationship. There is an amazing amount of character growth and a lot of beauty in this growth.
