I just get so giddy and excited when I know this author has a new book coming out. This did not fail to impress. She has such a wonderful way of writing taboo that's sweet and innocent while being so naughty you can't help but blush while reading it. The MC's are so sweet and real you can't help but fall in love. I can't wait for July to have more Maddox and Bryan . Definitely my favourite couple yet .

This is really a hot, sexy, and sensual book. It's a friends to lovers story following the relationship between Maddox and Bryan. They met in college and have been best friends for over a year. They do everything together. Maddox has been attracted to Bryan since they met, but for a long time wasn't even sure if he was gay. Bryan is very quiet, shy, timid, and doesn't share much. He's never dated and is easily embarrassed by mention of anything sexual. Out of frustration that his relationship with Bryan hasn't gotten deeper, Maddox tried to date a few other guys, but as he says, “I wasn’t cut out for being in love with someone and dating other people.” Surprisingly, Bryan invites Maddox to spend the summer with him and his mother. Bryan's mother is not shy about getting involved in his romantic life. It's interesting and funny to watch her not-so-subtly push their relationship along. Bryan has secret desires that he's afraid will be show-stoppers for any long term romantic relationship. He finally discloses that he needs a dom/daddy to control his life, especially in the bedroom. Maddox hasn't been interested in domination in the past, but he's not willing to lose Bryan and sees how it could be a good fit. It's fun to watch Maddox take on the challenge. He starts to think that maybe domination was in his blood after all.
It's a very well written book and was hard to put down. Bryan also fantasizes about ageplay. That's not a theme that I seek out in books, but there wasn't much of it in this part of the series. This book leaves the reader at a pretty happy stage for Maddox and Bryan. In my opinion, it could be read standalone without proceeding to the rest of the series. I'll probably read the rest at some point. I'm interested in how things turn out for this couple.

Hot hot hot!
Age play is not really a kink of mine, but this author makes it SO HOT - I think partly because it's really more about expressing and meeting needs than about the specific kink. The main characters have EXPLOSIVE chemistry. I was feeling disappointed that the book was drawing to an end already, so I'm happy to see their story will be continued next month! I'll be reading it for sure!

I like seeing how Maddox and Bryan's relationship started but I'm just not as invested in them as I was Kevin and Jeremy.

4 stars. This is only my second book by this author but I really their writing style and stories.
While I did really like this one and thought it was cute it had just a bit too much smut. I know. Who am I anymore? I never knew there was a such thing as 'too much smut' but lo and behold there is. I felt like I didn't get to know the characters at all because they were just all over each other for a good majority of the book except for at the beginning. But even then you still don't really get to know them. I'm not too pressed about it because the little bit of the characters that I did get I enjoyed a lot. Maddox and Bryan are too adorable and dorky. I loved them. I'm hoping the next book is more development for them. Also, shout out to Bryan's mom because she is everything and I loved her! Mom of the year right there.
Overall, was a fun time. M.A. Innes knows how to write some smut let me tell you. I look forward to reading the rest in the series.
