From the very first pages, this story captured my attention, and I couldn't stop myself from reading the whole book in one sitting! Neil in particular was a character I immediately fell in love with, and I spent the first several chapters hoping that he'd find a partner to banish his insecurities and self-loathing. I wasn't expecting Jamie at all, but his vibrant, bratty attitude was such a lovely contrast to Neil's sweet submission. At a surface level, it may not have seemed like the two of them were a match, but they ended up being the perfect fit for each other and Daddy Sebastian. I was thrilled to watch their relationship unfold day by day, and I loved how slow and steady the three of them took things despite their fast attraction to each other. Seeing how genuinely happy Jamie, Neil, and Sebastian were to spend time together showed me how strong their emotional connection was, and that deeper bond made their physical chemistry all the more intoxicating. I soaked up every steamy, kinky, vanilla, and domestic moment they shared and could have eagerly devoured many more. This was one of those stories where even the most casual encounter felt like something magical because of the connection Neil, Sebastian, and Jamie were building.
While I can't say enough good things about how natural the progression of their relationship was, what really impressed me about this story was how deep this book dove into difficult life issues. Seeing Neil, Sebastian, and Jamie work through communication issues, past relationship trauma, and tricky financial situations showed me that the three of them were serious in their commitment to each other. I never once felt like Neil was the "outsider" to an already established relationship and it was obvious that all three had a sincere and mutual respect for one another. If anything, the safe space Jamie and Sebastian provided allowed Neil to explore all the secret desires he'd kept under wraps for years. It was wonderful to see the three of them share their ambitions and worries with each other and find a way to lean on each other for support, even if they did stumble at times. I couldn't have been happier to see the way Jamie, Neil, and Sebastian made things work in the end, and their life together was every bit as sweet as I'd hoped it would be.
**I voluntarily read an ARC of this book. This review expresses my honest thoughts and opinions.
