This was a promising start to a sexy new series.
I really liked the Ballsy Boys series and was so excited when the authors announced this spin off series. We are getting a whole new set of sexy porn stars, this time in Vegas! I have to admit though I was a bit unsure of the kink part, I was expecting something extreme I think, but I had nothing to worry about. The kink was pretty light; just some Daddy kink and a bit of spanking. The story itself was quick and angst-free. There was very little conflict between Hunter and Joey and they seemed perfectly suited for each other. It almost felt like an introduction to the series or a prequel novella, but was enjoyable nonetheless. We also got introduced to all the newly recruited Kinky Boys, which just peaks my interest for the upcoming installments. My mouth is watering already!

I would give the story an avarage of 3 stars, because I could not judge the quality. The narration is horrible. Both men are identical and both sound like 13 year olds. On top of that, every sentence is read like it is a quip. It makes it hard to take the characters serious.

I loved the Ballsy Boys series so much that I was a little nervous that the spinoff series wouldn't be as amazing. I should have known better. Nora and Kyleen have written the sweetest Daddy/boy romance and I absolutely loved it. While this series is about a kinky porn studio, this book was definitely more about developing a deep emotional connection than exploring BDSM or kinky sex. Joey and Hunter only have penetrative sex a couple of times near the end of this book. I usually prefer books where characters form an emotional bond before having sex, and it felt very realistic that Joey wasn't ready to go "all the way" when he was still figuring out what he wanted. I think that even if this book had no penetrative sex--if Joey decided that wasn't what he wanted or liked--it still would have been an incredible romance. Hunter's need to protect, care for, and treasure his boy was beautiful to read about. I think that even people who don't usually like kinky romance will fall in love with these two men.
In addition to the fluffy sweetness of Hunter and Joey's relationship, I also really appreciated that these two don't fit the mold of what a "traditional" Daddy and boy are. Joey isn't tiny, young, or twinky, and it doesn't matter. Joey's age and build aren't a source of angst in this book because to Hunter, Joey is perfect as he is. I wish more authors would write about diverse characters so that I don't even have to comment about how this is different from what I usually read.
Outside of the romance, I thought this book had a very compelling plot line. I was so curious about why Hunter left New York and what was going to happen with Joey's family. I was hoping to get a better idea of who else got hired for the new studio, but Nora and Kyleen were very sneaky! I feel like I only got tiny hints about whose stories will be told next, and I can't wait!

A refreshingly real protagonist.
I love it.
Hunter aka Daddy meets his match in Joey, his new camera guy.
There's only one problem. Joey's straight.
I love the way these two interact. The intensity of their emotions and the little pieces of Joey's insecurities about being out of shape, being forty, having gray hair. Joey is an everyman. Joey is demi-sexual, and hasn't ever been attracted to any of his previous partners. An excellent book.
I'll 100% be re-reading this one. 5/5

To be honest, I'm not really into Daddy kink books, but I guess I still have a morbid curiosity about them, and since I liked the previous Ballsy Boys series, I decided to take a chance with the 1st book of this spin-off.
Well, this book was surprisingly sweet, and I liked the way the kink was broached. It was obvious that Joey craved a connection with someone, that he needed to be taken care of. He craved the emotional and physical connection with a partner, and what he missed was ... a Daddy (god that sounds sooooo corny !). I liked his pairing with Hunter, they had real chemistry and it was sweet to see the development of their relationship. The best scene of the book, for me, was when Hunter explained the dynamic of the D/B relationship to Joey, because we could feel the chemistry between them, and their mutual desire of exploring this particular dynamic.
I was expecting more sex scenes, at least more porn scenes, but this is just the launch of the series (along with the studio's), and we meet (very briefly) some characters who will no doubt be the future heroes of other books in the series. I'm not sure what to expect on the kinky side of the next books, though.
Hunter was a nice character, a sweet and tender man who likes to take care of the people around him. Joey ... hmmm .... he didn't always sound like a 40 years old man, more like a twenty-ish something guy. I can't put my finger on it ... Maybe it's because in the daddy books I've read before, the boy was (much) younger than his lover and I had a hard time picturing a mature man in a boy's shoes, per se ... I don't know ...
It was a nice sugary book, but I don't have much to say about it. Yes it was sweet and I liked some parts of it, but I couldn't really connect with the characters, the whole story was smooth, too smooth, and quite a little boring, actually. When I read a romance, I need my butterflies and there was no butterflies here ... I can't say I'm disappointed, considering I had zero expectations here, but what I can say is that I won't remember much of this book in a few weeks.

The first half of this was perfect, and the second part was too sweet and too over the top. I lost the depth of Joey and Hunter, and they became these cutter cookie boyfriends. I enjoyed the writing style and I really enjoyed the story, but I wish the second part had more depth, more exploration into their new dynamic, new relationship. Rather than skipping over these parts and showing me their perfect love making.

An incredibly adorable story that handled the daddy kink/community in a caring and representative manner.
