Probably my favorite of them was Sawer, who thinks and deliberates his actions, Cooper is more of an eternal optimist who always sees the glass as half full, which is nice, but he's also hopped up on boundless energy which I'd find exhausting in RL and I felt he's sometimes portrayed as a bit infantile. I agree.Ĭooper, Sawyer, and Jackson complement each other's empty spaces and I was okay with that. In the Innes world there are more good than bad people in the world, even when they express themselves inartful ways. She gives us believable romance and credible insight into the why of a preferred lifestyle all wrapped up with good intentions & humor. One things leads to another and they find they're each what the other needs, even what they didn't know they wantedĪs usual with this author, she gives us a story with a kink or composition that can quite frankly be weird or taboo and render it like a mainstream contemporary MM romance complete with HEA and more loving than angst. After a screw-up with an ad they come into contact with Jackson a forty-something who owns an actual dog training business. The only hitch is that they're both subs and need/want a Master. Four years down the road they've made themselves into their own family of two and along the way have embraced their preferred kink: puppyhood. Kenneth Obi's delivery is the necessary cream on top.Ĭooper and Sawyer are two boys who, after graduating from high school, found themselves discarded by their families. Innes's vanilla-kink stories that hits the spot when you want sweet with a nod & wink towards kink, like right now. I decided to review this as a whole because, though split into three (3) parts or five (5), counting the prequel Family by Fate and Orlando, a sort of extended epilogue included in the AB of the complete series, it's one story.
