SNiK's Review:
Standalone. Light BDSM. Daddy/little. Fake relationship. Slight age gap. Dual POV.
Gabriel doesn’t expect that offering to help the cute history lecturer with his house renovation would lead to a deal that nets Gabriel a fake date for his friend's New Years party. Rory doesn't think pretending to be Gabriel’s little will be too hard, but suddenly his letting himself be a little feels more natural than anything, and ceding control to Gabriel makes Rory feel special. This story spends a lot of time introducing Rory to being a little, and how Gabriel is a caring Daddy that yearns for a boy just like Rory.
I really appreciated the communication between them as they navigate the growing kink relationship, and even though there are a few stumbles, Gabriel is quick to apologize and assure Rory. A really sweet story, with supportive secondary characters, and a dedicated Daddy that unexpectedly finds his special little that he’s willing to do anything for. An impressive debut for this author.
Heather's Review:
This was an adorable combination of fake dating, kink awakening and Daddy/little with a bit of ABDL. The story includes a beautiful Victorian house in need of repair, a Daddy who doesn't think he can do relationships and a boy who didn't know he needed a daddy...
One of the things I appreciated a lot was the found family that both men had, including an already established Daddy/little couple and Rory's BFF! This made the world buiding seem more advanced than a typical first book, and makes me yearn for Reed and Jonah's back story.... and well, a HEA for the BFF too!
I really appreciated the communication, the flow of this story and the world building. What a great debut!
