Hathaway House 1-3 by Dale Mayer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Aaron- 5*

Aaron Hammond is a former Navy SEAL and he has no idea how he arrived at Hathaway House in Texas. He was badly injured as part of betrayal that has destroyed his body, his career and his future and is consumed by a wave of profound anger that overtakes every other thought, feeling and experience he is currently having. Hathaway House is run by Dani Hathaway and her father. She knew Aaron and his brother Levi years ago and when she hears about Aaron (who she had a crush on years ago) she moves every obstacle to get him to her house for his rehabilitation determined to get him back to the way he used to be before the injury and anger. The old feeling will resurface as Dani constantly pushes him to accept that his life is not over but in fact, could be great.

This was a powerful first book in this new series which focussed on the physical, mental and spiritual healing that is needed after a serious military injury. The back story of the betrayal and old attraction was a nice touch that added lots of nice detail to this story. This was well written and suitably dramatic as well as suitably romantic. A lovely story with a sweet HEA at the end which will make you smile.

Brock - 4*

Brock Gorman had been a SEAL and was injured as part of a vehicle accident on the base in the US two months ago which caused major hip, back and shoulder injuries. The accident took away from him any chance of going on any more missions which were his everything. He has been at Hathaway House for more than a month and year there has been minimal improvement - after all - why should he try to get better when he has nothing to live for? Sidney Morning is a physiotherapist at Hathaway House and is returning after being away for nine months getting some specialised training. Having been told about Brock, she loves tough cases and just hopes he is not more than she can handle. After all, he is big, strong, stubborn as hell, and, absolutely gorgeous. He might not be making an effort to get better but Sidney is determined to get under his skin and force him to do all the work he needs to do to recover - she just needs to make sure she can make him understand that there are things that make life worth living. Sparks start to fly as they both start to fight each other and their own emotions. Can they be lucky and find their own healing and even love?

This was a great story that kept me captivated in the story of their battles of wills and emotions as they worked through all of the problems. I liked the turning points they seemed to pass through as part of their shared and separate journeys to enlightenment. Well written and very enjoyable.

Cole - 4*

On the first time Navy SEAL Cole Chamberlain was at Hathaway House he pushed himself too hard, took himself off his meds (without telling anyone) and caused so much harm that he ended up back in the hospital. Now he has returned to Hathaway House and is hoping that he can get his recovery back on track. Nurse Sandra Denver feels very responsible for what happened to Cole as she could (and should) have prevented it if only she had done a better job of making sure he was taking his meds. Now he is back she finds it hard to trust him and herself - and that will not make his recovery any easier. For Cole's sake, Sandra needs to help him to overcome his stumbling blocks as well as those of her own - with any chance they'll find a second chance at recovery for them both.

This was a lovely story that contained several lessons in life that could apply to us all - it is better to get emotions out and not bottle them up and results that take time and need a consistent effort. I loved the way that they both grew and that the result for them both was a chance at something very special between them. The ending of this story definitely made me smile and feel the joy that they had gotten past all of their problems. Well written and easy to read and understand.

A Kitten for Kinkmas by R.J. Moray
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

American tourist Luca is spending Christmas in Australia and is culturally shocked by all the shorts-wearing Santas and sun. When he meets his perfect Daddy at an event he is a very kinky man with lots of knowledge and experience. Zoltan has been in the kink scene long enough to know what he wants so when Luca falls in his lap at a Cuffd Kinkmas event he tells himself he is not interested in breaking in a newby but one pair of kitten ears later and he can't deny that he wants him even if it was for just one night which turns into many more as he can't help feeling like this kinky kitten could be the One.

This was a sweet novella where an inexperienced boy is introduced to the world of BDSM and finds kitten play and a Daddy who is devoted to him. I enjoyed the way that this story developed and that such care was taken not to introduce him to something more hardcore and that emphasis was placed on consent. I liked their relationship which was a surprise to them both in different ways. Easy to read, feel and understand. This is an MM story with mature content with a BDSM-like DDLB relationship involving kitten play.

This was a sweet novella and it was nice to see how two people who you could assume had nothing in common were able to respect each other and develop a loving relationship. I liked that a stable relationship and home base gave Ethan the confidence to take control of his career and his life in general. Easy to read and understand.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A storm took Gabriel's wife and child from him and since then he has lived a lonely life standing vigil on the cliffs when one day he sees a man in a small boat in need of help. He rescues Sam before his boat sinks but he has amnesia and can't remember anything just that he keeps having nightmares. Can they find out who Sam is and why he’s having nightmares? Can Gabriel and Sam save each other and find a second chance at love?

This was an enjoyable story of loss, loneliness, betrayal and love. I loved their easy relationship and the family around Gabriel were great people too who were determined to support him. I did find the whole Sam identity a little strange and his return was abrupt and a little far-fetched. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Godric works security for a nightclub but a new partnership means that he is also working for NightShade Security. Then he is put onto a job with his straight best friend Cohen which is not great but he does his best to ignore the pull between them - until he can't. As another team member pointed out - “How long have you been in love with your best friend?”. But Cohen has realised that he is actually bisexual and that being put onto a job with Godric is a distraction that they both don't need.

I really enjoyed this story with the close friendship between the two men which started with an unrequited love from Godric which was then returned after Cohen realised that he was actually bisexual and that he wanted him. I loved their passion and their gaining a son was funny. It was great to be swept into their story and feel their thoughts and passions. This is an MM story with mature content.

Waiting for Daddy by A.W. Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Atticus Coleman left the ranch his father owned and ran and expected never to return but when he did it was to watch his father die and take over the crumbling ranch. With above-normal intelligence Sean Hampton’s life had been planned and it was only after a random conversation with a stranger that he decided to leave his life and go find himself. Their night together a few years back still played through his mind every day. Nothing had ever compared to the feeling of calling the older man his Daddy. Everyone around the ranch assumes Atticus is straight as he never came out and Sean needs to think if secret stolen moments are good enough or if waiting for Daddy is too much for him.

I enjoyed this story with the two men connecting and then reconnecting. All the emotions and analysis of them were nice to read so I understood both of them and their relationship. The additional information about his father was interesting and I wish there had been a bit more of that.

Zane is a Daddy and although he has never had his own little he does love all things little and does love playing with his little friends. Then a stranger at Collared asks him just one question and that changes everything. Librarian Roland is honoured to speak at a national convention for librarians and so as it is in his nearest city and so knows he can afford to be in town for the weekend and maybe see a show. When he runs into a college friend and he is shocked when he is invited to Collared which he thought didn't exist in real life where he enjoys himself when he meets Zane.

I really enjoyed this book and wanted to give it a higher rating but it had some major issues with the editing where the names for people were incorrect or misspelt. Ignoring those issues I loved Zane and how he was confused but Roland was the right person to help him understand that everyone is different and he didn't need to like everything as littles identified in a range of ages. The relationship really was special and involved a touch more trust as they had to find the right behaviours for themselves as well as each other.

Skye had understood from the start that he and his Daddy were not forever but to discover one day that his Daddy had moved out, almost everything had been removed from the apartment and then that you were not on the lease and so were about to be homeless was just too much. So he decides to spend one last night at kink club Collared before moving out to the countryside to live with his aunt and uncle where he will not be able to find like-minded men. Lawyer Wilkins has an unexpected offer which takes him back to his home town and so when in the city attending a conference he decides to join some friends at Collared and can't deny the adorable boy who asks him to play with him. He is not one for one-night stands, but for Skye, he’s willing to make an exception.

I loved this story with Skye who had so many things hit him at once and so he was overdue some good luck when he met Wilkins. I loved the way that their relationship developed as a standard boyfriend relationship which was then slowly expanded to include the Daddy/little side of things so that Skye could control the introduction of the little side of himself. This was easy to read, feel and understand. This was a MM relationship with a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic including diapers (ABDL).

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Brad is an assistant interior designer and had no idea that his break in life would come from creating adult nurseries where he finds himself in a world of caregivers, littles etc. This is a world he never knew existed and is increasingly drawn to. Quin is a ranch manager by day and alone at night which never really bothered him until Brad started hanging around the ranch. Brad comes across as shy and blushes at the slightest compliment. This brings out Quinn's Daddy side and that would be good as Brad definitely needs one but he isn't ready for one yet. One evening around the fire pit, everything changes with one sentence: Too bad there’s no daddy out there for me.

This was a sweet story of a shy man who needed to understand and build up the courage to realise that he was a little and a Daddy who was keen to help but needed to wait until the time was right.

Declan has had all of his dreams come true - he has a top-rated interior design show, endorsement deals and his own line of home decor. He just didn't realise just how much it would consume him so he had no time for friends let alone a relationship. Essentially he is lonely, overwhelmed and exhausted.

He just doesn't have anyone to warm up his bed at night and call him Daddy. A one-night fling at the local bar scratches an itch, but that is all. When he finds a sexy stranger one night who takes his breath away they have an instant attraction and a steamy night. But the city slicker has to go back and Declan really is in dire need of a Daddy.

I loved this story with Declan who was just so overwhelmed and was also a little (who had no idea that was what he was) and Holden who was a Daddy who needed to tread carefully and help his boy as much as he could.

Hudson used to hate working nights in the local coffee shop until the local kink club started holding their monthly munches there on the third Thursday and he was able to observe the Daddies and their littles so that he could understand more. Bridger was there looking sexy while he sat there and did crochet. Now it wasn’t an interest, it was a need, a need to learn more, preferably with Bridger as his teacher. The employees were not able to do anything other than serve coffee and so when Bridger leaves behind a mostly finished crochet duck Hudson takes it as a sign to make contact.

Gary takes photos and is happy to live his life behind the lens because that way he won't get hurt. When he is asked to assess the new model he stops dead at the sight of his college crush looking better than ever - the problem is he is straight although maybe he is not.

I loved this story which had a Daddy photographer, a little who is not as straight as people thought he was and is not coping with life as well as he should.

The fruit drinks were funny and the world domination game was fun. I loved the fun combination of these three men and the deep love that they had for each other.

I enjoyed this story with the two damaged men (one physical and one mental) and their journey to learn to trust each other. I also enjoyed the way they had to learn that you don't always need what you thought you wanted.

Lipstick and Lecture Halls by Della Cain
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nathan Walker is a bisexual college professor who loves to wear makeup. Since his divorce, he has lived a shell of life. Max Green is a pup without a master since the tragic death of his own and his life is full of his job as the dining services manager at the college. Every day at work Max watches Nathan buy a black coffee and a croissant and say nothing but one night at Collared changes everything when the two men find themselves seeing each other in a whole new light.

I enjoyed this story where they both had to handle their preconceived impression of who they were and what they wanted because love was there to mess about with them so that they would change to fit the right person. I loved that they did their best to communicate with each other and could appreciate the beauty in each other. Easy to read, feel and understand. This is an MM story containing mature content in a BDSM-like DDLB story with puppy play.

Kascius by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kascius travels to Scotland to look for a missing war dog which also lets him reconnect with his two younger brothers (the middle one works hard on the farm and the youngest is a lightweight and does nothing) and his sick mother who has dementia. He also has to face his old love Ainsley who is in a better place now and is actually working as a nurse to his mother. His arrival sets off a chain reaction that leaves her under suspicion of murder as her world imploded in a chaotic nightmare. Between dog fighting, gambling, and murder… the two of them have their hands full keeping Ainsley out of prison, and Kascius alive… then there’s the fate of the war dog, Beamer, on his shoulders as well…

I enjoyed this story of the intrigue as to who was really the bad person in this scenario and what had happened in the past. Lots of emotional analysis and the whole whodunnit around his mother, brothers and Ainsley. Some of it was obvious and some was a total surprise. An emotional trip for him with a sad conclusion that gave him some happiness. Easy to read, feel and understand.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Lollipops and Leashes by Della Cain
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Candy shop owner Evan Taylor gave up finding his own Daddy years ago and so focuses on his business and mostly embraces his Little side on his own or on playdates either with friends or at kink club Collared. Sebastian Hunter is working a successful job as a systems analyst having returned to the city and needs a Master to take control and let him sink into his puppy space when his workday is done. When the puppy pack joins with the Collared club the last thing he expected was to see his first love Evan in a diaper. The two reconnect, the sparks and feelings from their old relationship resurfacing quickly. Only one thing stands in their way: they both need what the other can’t give - or can they?

I loved that in this story they recognised that their love for each other transcended everything else and that they could actually be enough for a Daddy or Master that the other needed in order to be happy and fulfilled - another lesson on how everything in a BSDM-like relationship was negotiable and that the full deal was not always what the other needed. This was an MM story with mature content and a BSDM-like relationship featuring aspects of DDLB, puppy play and ABDL.

Litigation and Lace by Della Cain
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After his divorce, manties wearing attorney Ryan Johnson had given up on being a Daddy again. Kasper Rushton is the general council for his former housemate's foundation having refused to settle down with a nice girl (not something a gay man would do) from his step-father's church after college and therefore shattering the last thread to link him with his family. Having met at a handfasting ceremony at a kink club called Collared the attraction between the two men is instant. Kasper is too new to the scene for Johnson to ask for what he truly desires but then everything changes when he hears Kasper says "Do you think a daddy would ever want someone like me?".

I loved this story where Johnson and Kasper were an instant attraction but also a great example of how in any BSDM-like situation everything is under negotiation. Their openness to each other, what they would like to try and what they could do to support each other was wonderful to read and experience through the story. Easy to read, feel and understand this is an MM story with a BSDM-like DDLB relationship with some ABDL.

Cole is the VP of a company and never takes part in the Secret Santa exchange so when a present shows up on his desk he is sure it is a mistake until when he opens it and finds a glittery turtle stuffie which was sent by someone who has seen his Little side so it can only be his assistant Nicholas who is also his secret crush.

It isn't until he gets a thank you letter that he sees the flaw in his plan. How is he going to turn down someone who writes, Thank you, Daddy?

I loved this story with the two men who tried to resist each other but just couldn't, the Secret Santa present that together with the business trip broke down all of the barriers and gave them the chance to work out what they really wanted. I loved the relationship between them which was developed through their respect for each other and the friendship they had developed when working together.

Daddy Claus by A.W. Scott
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Donovan Woodward would want to play Christmas music when the temperatures dropped below seventy and couldn't wait to write his annual letter to Santa. He loves the Secret Santa gift exchange at his work but when a handsome stranger arrives he wants a different kind of gift - and grants his greatest Christmas wish by becoming Donny’s forever Daddy? Grant Moore was the eldest of his siblings and never cared for the holidays but when he attends his friend Tank's holiday party he did not expect to find an actual fairy floating around tossing Christmas magic at the guests. Will Grant be able to thaw his cold exterior for the sweet, young Donovan?

I enjoyed this story with Grant who had not had a real reason to enjoy the holidays and Donny who just loved them. They definitely suffered from love at first sight even though that was across a large room and they were not immediately introduced. I loved how Grant's entire family adopted Donny so that he was no longer without his own family which was so nice. I loved the clear communication lesson at the end of the daily dates.

This was a lovely short story where Little Bridge finally got his Christmas wish when he got the Daddy of his dreams. I loved that these two men had yearned for each other and it was the combination of several events that allowed them to understand that they could be together and that they were able to provide exactly what each other needed.

This story was all about love both in friendship and in romance.

Slow Motion by BJ Cox
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Dale had left everything behind and started over as a masseur at the Mountain Lake Resort but is happy. When he meets and attractive younger man at his kink club there might be a chance at romance. Troy is a lawyer who works hard and wants to use Pet Play by the Lake for Dale to explore his inner animal and for himself to see what it takes to care for an older boy who is a switch. Dale struggles as a Sloth who is older and an outsider. When the strain of trying too hard and doubting himself means that not even their favourite punishments are enough to keep Dale with him, can the two of them dig deeper to find the kind of connection they’ve both been craving all along?

I normally enjoy these stories and the premise looked good but I did find some of the aspects of the story a little hard to understand. The abrupt ending was strange and I have no idea how their dynamic and relationship is really going to work for them going forward. I did enjoy the drama and misunderstandings in the story although I did wonder if Troy might have made Dale feel more secure if he did some things slightly differently. Easy to read and feel. This is a MM story with a BSDM-like DDLB D/s relationship with pet play.

Ex-serviceman Wade is a tattoo artist and knows how to keep himself safe and so when a man turns up claiming to be a friend of his old buddy Jasper he is suspicious. The longer he watches Yuri the more he wants him to be his boy. Yuri has spent his whole life living as per the rules that his father set for him because he is an heir to a mafia throne - something he never wanted as a straight, brutal and uncaring man is not who he is. So he plans, plots and when the time is right he leaves relying on his old friend Jasper to start over. Can Wade let go of his suspicion long enough to follow through on his desire for Yuri? And can Yuri embrace his true self once and for all now that he’s free of his father’s rule? Everything starts to make sense at A Little Slice of Paradise.

I loved this story with the Daddy who needed to get confidence in himself and his judgement in order to help his boy Yuri who was a LIttle that needed the freedom to be himself and explore his inner princess. I loved the way that the other Littles help Yuri and that Wade could no longer fight the attraction between them. This was a great story with pulled me in. Easy to read, feel and understand.

This was a fun story with a few moments of drama and danger as Mattie and his Daddy Medici find each other and have their HEA. The writing style is a bit looser and the sexual antics are definitely over the top but it was a fun read. There are some characters and events that refer back to previous books in the series.

After making sure it is for real he tries to find someone to go with him but his best friend has to back out and so he is persuaded to call Lamar who he went on a single date months ago.

Lamar wanted the sweet shy guy to call him but he never did and so was thrilled when he finally called about the cruise. Maybe with a little luck, Elio and Lamar will find the one thing they didn’t know they needed: love.

I loved this story which was a complex maelstrom of emotions at the time but through it all these two men were a strong and protective influence in their lives. I loved how Lemar cared for Elio over an allergic reaction and the death of a family member. I loved the ending where they were together and working towards their HEA with all that it entails.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dakota works for Valentine's Inc. but he never thought he would find someone he actually likes and so when he has to fake date Poe for a whole weekend it is hard to separate the job from his feelings, made worse as Poe looks at him like he really cares. Poe needs a fake date for his sister's wedding as his ex is going to be there and so in desperation he turns to Valentine's Inc. but didn't expect someone as perfect as Dakota. It's bad that he is only pretending as Poe really would like to date him for real afterwards. They need to navigate through their feelings and figure out if they can find true love together or if everything they feel for one another is simply just for show.

I really enjoyed this story which followed the normal fake date trope but did have some nice touches to make it feel a little more special and unique. I loved the way that Dakota stood up for Poe and that he would not let any of them pick on or be nasty to him. I was thrilled with the way that this story ended. Easy to read, feel and understand.
