Arlo: An MM Age Play Daddy Romance by HJ Welch
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Since a knee injury forced Thomas into early retirement from pro hockey, he's spent all his time dedicated to charities helping under privileged children. The press and his fans would never understand his private life, but he'd love nothing more than to be Daddy to a sweet baby boy. The most he can hope for is a vacation fling at a kinky retreat. However, before he even arrives in Bali, he already finds himself sweeping in to take care of one Arlington Hythe-Wandsworth. He’s hopeless…and perfect. But we live an ocean apart and both of us would be ruined if our secrets came out. Okay so calling Arlo ‘clueless’ might be putting it mildly. As the heir to his affluent family’s name and business, he's led a sheltered, privileged life. So it’s no surprise that when he sneaks away on his first solo trip, he almost immediately gets robbed. It could have been so much worse if his new friend Thomas hadn’t been there to save him, though! However, the more time we spend together, the harder it is for Arlo to see who could possibly be a better Daddy than Thomas. He's not sure what he can do before he loses him forever.

This was a nice age play story as Arlo found his perfect Daddy and managed to escape the confines of his family and their expectations. It was great that they found each other so quickly. A very sweet story with a happy ending. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

Jalen & Colby: An MMM Christmas Daddy Romance by HJ Welch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Andreas is selling some stuff online as part of clearing out a storage locker and finds that two guys are aggressively bidding on the same set of childhood toys. When he discovers that it is two best friends trying to buy the same thing for each other as a Christmas gift and as they all live in the same city he decides to hand deliver them for them both to share. He finds two adorable young men and as they spend time together it feels like it could be love between them. Jalen moved from California to Australia to be with Colby and even though he loves him he feels that he needs someone better than him to look after him and become his Daddy. Andreas appears like a Christmas miracle and with his wealth likes to spoil them both. He offers to take the boys on an amazing trip to the UK back to his home during the holidays, how can they refuse? And if they just happen to accidentally fall into bed together, would that be so terrible? Colby is grateful for the power of the internet to enable Jalen to be there for him when his own family turns their backs on him. Now they live together but he knows that Jalen sees him only as a friend as he is far too fabulous and bright for someone as shy and quiet as him. When they start to spend time with their new friend Andreas who is great with cuddles and spoiling them he starts to wonder if could three be a magic number?

I loved this story with the two best friends who loved each other and the man to came in and swept them away with gifts, family and fun. Even though the two boys had slightly different needs Andreas was a good enough Daddy to have enough love and care for them both. I loved that they were able to talk to each other, discuss their thoughts and emotions (eventually) and that they quickly became much more with the addition of a third person in their dynamic. Certainly, it helped that Andreas was wealthy in all of their fun and adventures. Easy to read, feel and understand. his was an MMM story with mature content and a BSDM-like DDLB dynamic.

Pulling Focus by H.J. Welch
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Model Malyk needs a big break and when his ex-boyfriend tries to take it away from him and a hot-shot photographer gives him a lifeline he is more than willing for them both to pretend to be together in order to open the door for him. Photographer Oscar doesn't date models and so when he sees Malyk who is almost half his age and hurting he is determined to help him and spoil him. Then a week doesn't seem to be enough before he has to fly to London when yet again Malyk's ex threatens to cost him everything - something Oscar can't allow.

I loved this story with a determined Oscar who was not going to fall for Malyk, the hesitant Malyk so met Oscar's dog and fell in love with him. I loved Linny who just seemed to be all-seeing, fingers in all pies and so generous when you were judged to be her friend. The way everything ended was perfect and I was just so happy for them. Easy to read, feel and understand. Contains MM mature content.
