This book was too cute for words. Very mild age play with more focus on pet play. And when I say pet play, I mean koala play!! I bet you can imagine the cute cuddliness happening throughout the book. Of course it was super duper sugary sweet, but both Gaines and Austin had some insecurities to work through, as well as figuring out how to make time for each other in their busy lives. They were both workaholics who needed a better work/life balance, and they were each others motivation for making that happen. I enjoyed that, even though there's a 13 year age gap between them, Gaines is 27 years old and independently wealthy (family money as well as successful in his own right), which means that they felt like they were equals outside of their power exchange dynamic. If anything, Gaines was a sugar daddy for his daddy, lol.

Gaines' best friend Matty was adorable as well, and I appreciated how he was included in the MCs lives. Not in a sexual way, but in pretty much every other way lol. Gaines and Matty have zero boundaries with each other, and it was cute as hell. Oh, and the spice was really good you guys. Oh oh, plus points for Bertie (Gaines' awesome dad).

If you enjoy pet play and/or age play and want something with low angst to entertain you, give this a go. I mean, there's koalas.
