A sweet but bratty boy might be Levi's kryptonite, but Nico isn't interested in anything long term. But something about Levi really breaks down Nico's walls, and being cared for is something really special with an understanding Daddy.
From the Just a Little Fling blurb:
Nico
Nico is all about living his best life, trading the drama of relationships for the thrill of casual flings. But Nico’s carefully crafted independence wobbles when a one-night stand with Levi—a Daddy who understands his bratty side—turns into a repeat thing. The more they connect, the more Nico fears commitment will trap him in a life he’s worked hard to escape.
Levi
Levi loves a good challenge, and Nico is the perfect mix of bratty and free-spirited. But Nico’s love of chaos in his personal life and his allergy to commitment make things anything but simple. When Nico bolts, Levi has to decide: chase after the boy who might never be ready or accept he’s not the Daddy that Nico needs after all.
Just a Little Fling is book three of the Just A Little series but can be read as a stand-alone. It has a Daddy who loves the feisty ones, a brat who loves to play the field, a couple who comes to understand that commitment doesn’t close every option, and interfering friends who don’t know when to leave well enough alone.
SNik's review:
Third in series (Just a Little), but can be read as a standalone. Daddy/little. Found family. Dual POV.
Nico isn’t interested in a relationship, he enjoys being a PA, handling his well-meaning family, and hooking up whenever he feels like it, even if it is a little lonely. Levi is a family law attorney that respects Nico wanting to keep things casual, but can’t help wanting to care for the boy that lets his little out whenever he’s around Levi.
It certainly feels special whenever Levi and Nico are together, they fit together well, the doting Daddy with the bratty boy. I really enjoyed every interaction Levi and Nico had, whether it be sweet or spicy they were both likable characters although I didn’t really understand Nico’s aversion to commitment, Levi’s acceptance of Nico’s feelings and needs was swoony. There were some things I wish had been wrapped up more clearly with respect to their jobs and if they got an HEA, but they certainly were going that way with a nice group of found family and a cute romance.
GreenwingReads review:
This was my first book in the series, but not my first by Kerry. I will definitely be going back to read the first two books, but I didn't feel lost while reading this one at all. It can absolutely be read as a standalone, but all the side characters are so wonderfully written, I want to read their stories too. There were some side characters I was already familiar with from other books/series and loved seeing them (Jakob is adorable!).
Nico thinks all he wants is a fling. He is a Middle and I loved the way Kerry made the dynamic accessible. Before reading their books, I wasn't really familiar with the lifestyle and I have learned so much through reading their books. Each couple has a unique dynamic and it is fun to discover the duality of the characters when they are in big vs little space.
I really felt for Nico with how much he felt like an outsider and unwanted both with friends and at home with his brothers. His parents genuinely loved him, but they put an unfair amount of pressure on him. His nickname for his twin brothers (Copy and Paste) killed me. He has a great sense of humor. I really didn't care for the twins and the way they treated Nico.
Levi was fantastic and so patient with Nico. Despite Nico's hesitance and insistence on keeping Levi at arm's length, Levi is steady and patient. He's perfect for Nico and it was so rewarding to follow their journey to their HEA.
I immensely enjoy Kerry's writing style and the way she writes the daddy/boy dynamic. It's so easy to see the Littles as only that or men who need someone to care for them, unable to be independent on their own, but they are so much more than that. And sometimes, the daddies need care too. I'm looking forward to more from Kerry and excited to read the first two books of the series.
