But for some reason April Jade decided to make this book extra flowery. It felt out of place and just didn't quite fit the story.
I also had a bit of a problem with Roman being the school counselor and Sebastian being a student/his patient. If felt strange that Roman immediately wanted Sebastian and crossed the line without any inner struggles. I would at least expect him to think it was wrong.
But besides all that this wasn't a complete disaster. It had good bones and the hurt/comfort kept me interested.
While I love a good Daddy/little book, this series is so overly sappy that the books I’ve tried so far were not quite what I was hoping.

If the hurt/comfort is too in your face I tend to lose interest. And that was the case here. Terrence was more like a damsel in distress, than I little in need of some assistance. ...more

What I loved about this was that it was clear Logan was struggling so much that he needed rescuing. I couldn’t wait for Caleb to step up and provide the Daddy comfort.
Logan was trying so hard to just survive and make it through his last year in school that my heart broke for him. His mom was abusive and she had an asshole boyfriend as well.
I loved when Logan got appointed a tutor for chemistry. Quiet, intelligent, BIG Caleb Heath. I was hoping he would be the perfect Daddy for Logan, even though they were both only 19. I was willing to overlook this and simply go with it.
But while I loved reading about Logan’s shitty life in the first half, I couldn’t wait til Caleb would make it all better. And here was when the pacing started to feel off.
The first half we get to know Logan, and Caleb as his tutor. We see Logan struggling and we see how hard it as at home. But the second half was basically one scene. A few hours at most. And I wanted them to get past the initial ‘OMG I’m kinky’ stage. But since we never moved on from that afternoon we never got there.
I know there is a second book and I’m all for that. But to have the first half cover months (weeks?) and the second half cover only hours, made my brain hurt. It also made it feel like these guys moved waaaaay too fast in one afternoon.
Now that sounds like I didn’t enjoy it while I really did. But this is one of those books that needs the second book to make sense. And depending on this, I might change my rating of this book. ...more

Still very enjoyable.

A solid 4 stars!
I really enjoyed this latest book by Carly Marie. It was sweet, it was cute, it was adorable.
I really like Carly Marie's writing style. Her books always have this nice flow. And she knows how to write emotions. I always feel so much when reading one of her books.
I do have to admit I wanted a bit more Daddy kink in this. It was hardly present at all. There was some middle/little stuff (like stuffed animals and such), but besides that it was pretty tame in the kink department.
Lots of sweetness, no angst, just lots of caring and feelings. Yes, I really liked this....more
It was cute and I loved to see a little bit of Zeke and Blue in the background, but it was also super short and therefore a bit underdeveloped.

I do wish this author would continue with the series and not just write shorts. I loved the first book and we got a good teaser about the next couple, and then... nothing....more
I'm a huge sucker for the big bad boss man beinRe-read December 2023
Obsessive daddy kink. I really love it.
-------------------------------------------
I'm a huge sucker for the big bad boss man being mean to everyone except his boy. So that part was absolutely amazing. I liked that Toby was softhearted, but not a pushover. Even knowing Ben was some maffia boss, he still punched him when Ben wouldn't let him go.
But while I did like the overall sweetness of this, it was also incredibly unbelievable. Ben was this maffia boss, but we don't really know what it is he does. Or if he really is such a bad guy?
I still liked the hurt/comfort parts of this. With Toby getting sick(er) and Ben rescuing him.
There were a few times when Ben skirted the line of being too overbearing, but I was glad to see that Toby's happiness was still more important than keeping him wrapped in bubble wrap.
So overall I liked this and I will definitely read the next book....more

Now this I really liked!
I skipped the 4th book, because I couldn't get into it, but I've enjoyed the other books (some more than others). But I really liked seeing all the guys happy and I loved that we got to see Trent, Logan and Aidan discovering something new in their relationship.
Merrick and Dean were really good together. It was nice to see that Dean discovered he was a middle while in the past he thought he might be a Daddy. But being a Daddy didn't fit him at all, so I was happy he got to be more himself in this book.
And Merrick was a very sweet Daddy. I loved how they built the relationship on their solid friendship.
