A new friend and an unexpected romance… Was there a better way to spend a Saturday night?

Jordan knows pining for her bosses is the worst thing she could do… well, it’s the worst until they all end up together at a lifestyle meet and greet. Obviously dating her bosses is now the worst decision she could make, right?

Shaun and Dylan thought dating the best admin they’ve ever had would be the stupidest thing they could do. But as they see her across a room full of Daddies, they realize just how wrong they’ve been. All it takes is one look at their sweet girl and they know letting her go would really be the stupidest thing they could do.

With change in the air and toys in the playroom, a Daddy, a Dom, and a little just might fall in love.

**This title was originally a novella in the Dirty Daddies Pride Anthology. It has been extended into a full-length novel for this re-release.**

Super sweet and adorably kinky

These books were such a great surprise. They're sweet, spicy, kinky, funny, and all the other lovely things you look for in a good hot romance. Zero regrets binge reading all three of these in a weekend and then promptly looking for more by the same author. Totally recommend anyone looking for a good time do the same.

Enjoyable

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2023

This was such an enjoyable story. The characters, the Daddy, the Little and the Dom, were so accepting of each other. They meshed well together. Happy reading!

If you're just interested in how these three got together, this is a 4 star book, but it's not a complete story or HEA, hence the two stars. This is an insta-HFN book with problems.

First of all, in my opinion, the guys names should've been switched- Shaun, (the Daddy Dom) is a strong name and Dylan (the Dom) is a softer name, so because of that I had to keep stopping to remember who was who. And because it was just Master Dylan and Daddy at the end it got worse for me. Bad flow.

Then there was their personalities- Shaun was the intelligent, intense, absent minded professor that needed a minder, hence Jordan, the wonder assistant. She was also the mediator between the two guys. Again, Shaun, an unsure and insecure Daddy Dom, was just a caring, intense lover when his focus was on them, but more like a "boy" to Dylan, not a Dom. Dylan his husband, was more like an impatient, in-your-face person that was also a jokester most of the time. Supposedly Shaun had the social problem but to me, both guys were inept socially. Jordan had her hands full with both these two. And Jordan went from being an efficient, professional, accepting, woman assistant, to an unsure, sweet girl, and back to a secure knows-what-she-wants, and is fine stepping into their well established marriage, "little", in a snap! Way too fast.

But the biggest problem I had was that there's no background info, or physical descriptions on any of these three. There's a little bit about how the guys met. I'm assuming the cover pic is supposed to be Shaun. And he's the architect but what's Dylan's job? And they're both her bosses but they're not the owners, and there's no locks on their doors so they can't be that important if just anyone can walk into their domain and with nothing to safeguard. And there's really vague hints to Jordan's earlier experiences but does she have any family? Friends? Like I said- not a complete story. Disappointed. I have the next book but this wasn't enough to keep me keep reading.

Good daddy, dom and little book

This book is a good one of the trope, no extremes and lots of feelings. I will read more by this author. Made me smile. 😍

I tried. I made it to about 40% but ended up letting it go. The dynamic between them all just felt awkward and didn’t flow. A lot of the same phrases were used, he scoffed or he rolled his eyes, in situations it didn’t seem to call for it. So then I thought I missed something so I’d go back a paragraph or two and I was still confused.
I don’t mind insta love stories. When they are written right with good background info they are amazing. This one unfortunately didn’t do it for me. I’m sorry! 😢

Excited about this expanded version

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2022

This is an full length version of a short story that was a part of a pride anthology. I was really excited that the author chose to expanded it. It did not disappoint. The characters are all so sweet and in love with each other. I really like how the author handles different personality types, showing there are all valuable. Jamie Merck is also great at writing MMF. I hope they next book comes quickly!!

Writing needs a lot of work - DNF

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2023

This is the first book I have tried by this author, and it will probably be the last unless something significant changes. And who knows, it might. So I thought it would be worth leaving some feedback.

My biggest issue - the story failed to establish the characters before jumping into the story. I was struggling to figure out who was who and what their relationships were to each other. The dialogue had very little context and was rushed and scattered, particularly during the scene where the men were hiding in the bathroom.

I think the main issue is that the author was relying on their own knowledge of the characters while writing the story, and forgetting to convey things in their head to the audience. A good remedy for this kind of issue is, instead of throwing us right into one of the most important scenes in the story with a few small explanations, give us some scenes of the guys interacting together as a couple, and the main characters interacting at their place of work. Show us who they are before they land at the club meet and greet acting all nervous and flustered because they work together. Don’t just tell us “hey, they work together” with a short, awkward rundown about how she apparently knows about their extracurriculars, and then expect that to be enough. One of the most common mistakes an author can make is telling and not showing. If you read a lot of reviews for unsuccessful books, that is a frequent complaint.

I do think the plot was a fun idea! I love mmf stories where the men are together as well, and the awkward humor that could result from running into a boss at an event like that would be so much fun to read about. Though more fun if they were completely oblivious to each other’s interests. And the story of them navigating a new relationship after that could be both humorous and charming. So a good start!
