He’s not the firstborn child. He’s not the only daughter. He’s not even the baby. He has probably been fighting for attention his whole life.

Josh’s Jackpot might be my favorite in the series. I’ve loved every book so much, and this one was no different. I am still very new to reading MM+, but the MMM worked so well with these characters. Considering none of the MCs were in an existing relationship with each other, I’m really impressed by how the author made it work. They all knew each other at least a little bit, and kinky relationships definitely help build trust and a connection faster than a ‘vanilla’ relationship might.

I’m also one hundred percent certain that Josh realizes the effect he has on Emmett, because he bats his lashes and brings the ear of his bear up to partially cover his face, enacting a full-on cuteness assault.

At first I wasn’t sure how I felt about the suspenseful subplot, but it actually worked really well in showing how the dynamics between all three MCs worked, and it helped highlight why they all needed each other. They were really good at communicating their needs and wants, which also helped a lot. I enjoyed seeing two of the men pairing off and having some good ‘ol fun together when the third wasn’t available, which surprised me a little. I thought I wouldn’t enjoy that at all, but their communication made it a non-issue. I do wish we got more scenes on-page with Josh and only one of his Daddies, but there’s a limit to how many sex scenes you can have during a book, lol. It’s actually been a lot of fun to see how the author’s explicit scenes have improved from book to book. This one was really hot.

I’m also impressed by how well handled/written Josh’s issues with bed-wetting and nightmares was, both by the author herself and by the characters around Josh. His character overall made me tear up multiple times. He made me incredibly emotional sometimes.

I’m looking forward to see what she writes next.

Not that being a dom is about the control or power. If that’s how a dom looks at it, they need to take a step back and re-evaluate.

And I suppose the other Littles in our circle are trying to get me to talk, too, but… well, have you ever tried having a deep and meaningful conversation with a bunch of people who are mentally aged five and under?

Our usual roles in kink and in the bedroom don’t negate human responses to trauma, or loss, or grief. A good dom can show weakness. Can cry.
