“Hello.” I should have grabbed a drink before I agreed to the call. I sound like I chew on sandpaper for fun.
This book was just a delightful, low angst, sweet and quick read. Both MCs were absolutely adorable in their own rights, and there were two prominent side characters that absolutely made the book even better. The Daddy MC is a large and burly man (6’8 and heavily tattooed), leading to people thinking he’s scary, which breaks his heart a little, considering the caretaking is so engrained in him that he Daddies just about everyone. He really is a gentle cuddly bear, in every sense of the word. Rory, the boy MC, gave me ‘middle’ vibes sometimes, and it seemed like he almost regressed a little once in a while, but there’s no actual age play in this. He’s just a needy and cuddly boy who also happens to love the hell outta his stuffies.
“Can I see more of you? Your tats? Your—how tall are you again?” I strain as if I can look around him. He’s a big man, with muscular arms and no doubt a nice, soft belly to cuddle with. Ideal man, to be honest.
I actually had to google what a ‘side’ was when starting this book. I know of the more typical top/bottom roles, but hadn’t heard the term ‘side’ for those who don’t want/need anal sex. I enjoyed this representation a lot, and thought it was handled well. I’m so glad it was a complete non issue between the MCs, even if the MC who identified as a side was insecure about it.
“I like the idea of comfort, cuddles, and coming. Sounds ideal to me.”
Definitely recommend if you want to read something adorable.

“I. Consented. Said yes.” And hated every second of it. “He knew you were a side and said he was fine with it, then you came back to the room crying. Babes, that’s not consent.” “I was crying because—” I hated myself for letting him talk me into anal.
[…] grab his hand and pull him towards the door. But he picks me up and throws me over his shoulder. I squeal and slap my hand over my mouth at the undignified sound.
