Daddy by K.M. Neuhold, Nora Phoenix
3.0
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.
