A Daddy for Christmas 3: Lorcan by Gabbi Grey


What's better than a puppy finding his Daddy for the holidays?  An older pup finally finding the right handler- a much younger man...

From the blurb:

Lorcan
I had the world in the palm of my hand until a false accusation sent everything to hell. I’ve spent the past year struggling to reclaim my life. At fifty-three, though, I honestly feel my best years are behind me. Then I find the courage to attend pup night at Club Kink. I’m not certain what to expect, but that night changes my life.

When I came out as gay at sixteen, things got so rough I was barely making it through my days. A great therapist helped me survive, and even thrive. Now, as a newly minted psychologist, I hope to make that kind of difference for my own patients, LGBTQ or not. Inside though, I have one more secret even my therapist never knew. And finally, I've found the courage to attend pup night at Club Kink. I keep telling my clients they need to reach for what's important to their hearts. Tonight, I'm reaching for mine and hoping I find someone who wants what I have to offer.

This novel is an age-gap, opposites-attract gay romance about what happens when a man who’s given up on life is presented with a chance to start over and the younger man prepared to share that journey with him.

A Daddy for Christmas 3 is a multi-author series. Holiday tales of lost boys in need of Daddy’s love and in some cases, a firm hand. Naughty or nice, it’s all in Santa’s hands now. So why not dive in and read each standalone and enjoy the holidays alongside our boys? The characters’ theme is Grumpy and Sunshine.


Heather's Review:

I always love a story that reverses what is typical in a relationship - that the age gap serves to bring a dominant younger man together with an older man who wants to embrace his submission and let go of the world he's struggling with and this is no exception...

Lorcan is such a sweet man who has so much history to overcome and deal with... and he just wants to be loved as both his human and pup self... This book combines the best of the A Daddy for Christmas esthetic with Gabbi Grey's Mission City and therapy ranch worlds.  I will say that the story overtakes the holiday theme and while the pup play is a catalyst for more, they were secondary to some other storylines - and this was more emotional than some of the more fluffy seasonal reads, but none of those things are necessarily bad, just unexpected.  I love the cameos from other characters in this world and the evolution of the story that makes this a very sweet HEA indeed.
