Forever Ink felt like an endless and unnecessarily long epilogue.
There were some cute moments, but they got lost in the mess of side characters and inane dialogues.
It was nice to see Rhys and Simon be happy and that they have a loving family, but the whole thing was cloyingly sweet.
I get that the author was trying to build up some backstory for future books, but it did not need to be this damn long.

At least I got the switch scene I wanted. Not as hot as I’d hoped and way too short, but still pretty good.

“What Daddy wants is for his baby bear to fuck him.”

“That’s it, baby, fill Daddy up.”

Tropes and NSFW info (spoilers):
- Age-play and ABDL
- Spanking
- Panties (appeared and then were gone again, what a shame)
- Coming untouched
- Rimming
- Mostly strict top/bottom (one switch scene)

Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.

“You know, we could skip the punishment and just go straight to the reward.” “You know that’s not how it works, right?”

I have probably told half the world about how impressed I was with Myf Wren’s debut ‘Viking Ink’ at this point, and that it’s one of my very favorite age play books. When I found out about this book, I was super excited. I normally don’t enjoy books that feature a previous couple, but this was delightfully low angst and just super sweet. I enjoy both MCs a lot, and I had a good time reconnecting and seeing more of them.

Rhys pouted and he gave me the saddest look, one that most people with a pulse would collapse at.

There’s a bit of an update on everything that went down at the end of Viking Ink, and gives more of an insight and introduction into future main characters that are getting their own books.

“Did you come while Daddy rode your face, sweetheart?”

I would’ve loved to see more of Rhys and Simon together on page in this one, as they generally have great and cute interactions, but it’s still a good read. A lovely christmas vibe, some cute moments in Little space and a couple good spicy scenes. Can definitely recommend if you enjoyed Viking Ink.

I liked it. It was Christmasy and cheesy and sweet and easygoing. It was also incredibly sexy. Loved those few scenes very much.

Was it perfect? No it wasn’t. There was a bit too much fluff, the whole thing about Rhys’ past was kinda weird and most definitely unfinished (big fat hint to the next book) and it was a bit boring overall.

No matter. I liked it anyways.

[Peppa · Rating 3 out of 5]

I‘m not sure about this one, it was definitely sweet and I still enjoyed Simons and Rhys dynamic but I definitely liked the first volume better. I got bored here quite a few times and skipped through some pages.

When I read a book, I generally want the majority of the time on page to be spent with both MCs. Unless the book is specifically a world building book, I need my MCs together. So Rhys and Simon spending so much time with other people on page made this less enjoyable than it could have been.

I’ve loved Rhys and Simon together since I read the first book. And I loved them together here. Simon is a wonderful daddy to Rhys. He’s so loving and gentle but knows how to get down and dirty with his boy as well. I love how Simon allows Rhys to be Little and encourages him to be his own person. They do make a wonderful pair.

Overall, this really could have been a Christmas novella. There was a lot of filler throughout that could have been trimmed to make this a more cozy story.

[True Loveislovereview · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ahh, this was such a sweet follow-up to their first story.
Simon and Rhys are the loveliest couple.

Daddy and his boy, they grow, they explore, they learn, and trust.
Friends and family are an important element in their life and this story.

As you can read in the blurb Rhys has a secret plan and an important question!
Besides some secondary sharp edges, most of the story is delightful, sexy, and sweet.
Overall a mellow age play story, with lovely characters!

I’m so happy that I got more of Rhys and Simon - I completely fell in love with the first book, Viking Ink, and this was such a sweet and cosy holiday continuation!

I loved seeing more of Rhys and Mouse’s friendship, these boys are the sweetest and when they have little time together they’re just so freaking adorable! A little mischievous at times, but adorable nonetheless. They made me giggle and aww a lot, and it was great to see how happy Rhys was with Daddy Simon.

The found family feeling was strong in this story as well and I really enjoyed their cosy Christmas together. I just adore all of these characters and I loved how this book further laid some foundation for future characters and couples in the series. I seriously can’t wait for Mouse and Callum’s story!

I’m very impressed by Myf Wren with this series so far - if you’re looking for Daddy kink with age play and hurt / comfort, I really recommend these books!

Forever Ink is the second book in the Tewsbury Daddies series by Myf Wren. Rhys and his Daddy Simon are back. I'm so glad we got another book because I love Rhys and Simon. This book was sweet, sexy, full of feels and very well written. I loved it.

[Rochelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well... Myf Wren... you've done it again.
I've been waiting for this since the very second I finished Viking Ink... and it did not disappoint whatsoever.

This book was the healing and love Rhys deserved before and deserves forever.
This was a tickle and a giggle.
This was a warm blankey and a steaming cup of hot cocoa with one too many marshmallows.
This was a cuddle and a gentle kiss.
This was a raging fire in the middle of a winter snow storm.

Rhys being loved by Simon's family the way he is is magical. In this book, we get to see more of Rhys' beautiful smile, his relationship with each family member, and the family members' stories begin to develop more deeply. The traditions and warmth from the farm envelops you in a hug that you don't want to end. From the hugs, the specialty hot cocoa just for Rhys, the special drink on Christmas Eve, and the old wives' tales told to scare children (and Littles)..

Again, before I could see the town center, I could see the window of Viking Ink and Simon watching Rhys play his guitar across the square... but now? Now I see a cottage with a long dirt road that is well worn with memories of travels to and from.
I can smell the wet grass and trees after the first snowfall, the moss on the logs that are laid in that ruin, waiting for someone to take a seat like they had a long time ago, to share a meal in the home together.
A barn with animals all snuggled in before the snow storm and atvs that grumbley Daddy's have to use to chase down a ram while the other nearly has a heart attack watching Mouse play.
I see the strings of lights lining around the cottage and across the walkway to the barn, lighting up the fresh snow, twinkling in the moonlight while the trolls watch from up on the hill.
I can smell the pine from the fresh cut tree that perfectly (barely) fits in the living room (and might be crooked, don't tell dad), shining beautifully with its special ornaments that were made with love and laughter and probably too much glitter.

But most importantly, I can feel the love and strength that Simon has poured into Rhys, showing him how strong he's been the whole time. We get to see Rhys stand on his own two feet, and not in a way that pushes Simon away, but brings him closer to his heart while standing back. Seeing that confidence and strength flourish and shine bright is phenomenal, and only proves these two were made by fate for one another.

I can't recommend Forever Ink, book 2 of Tewsbury Daddies enough.

I'm ecstatic to see Mouse and Callum's story.
I can't wait to see what Doc finds in life.
And I truly can't wait to see how the town of Tewsbury continues to love, cherish, and protect its own. For now, I guess I'll just have to wait to see the beautiful little town by the sea; and hope to see Baby Bear at the end of the pier again, but this time, hand in hand with Daddy Bear, a cute little pup named Ollie, and smiles that would prove true love exists.

I really loved the first book, Viking Ink, so was anxiously waiting for this book. I was also a little worried, to be honest, that it wouldn't live up to book 1. You know how sometimes the follow up doesn't live up to the hype, it's seems repetitive or like it's forced to continue. Well that did not happen here. It is actually even better, my worries were for nothing. It far exceeded my excited expectations. This story gave the characters more depth and growth, they never felt stale or got boring.
Simon and Rhys story picks up where they left off in book 1 so highly recommend to read Viking Ink first (plus you won't regret it, it's so good). Their relationship continues to develop and grow more strong. Rhys continues to heal (no quick fix) and find his inner strength. Even when his past comes back to haunt him, he does not crumble but remains strong and able to lean all those he has come to love and think of as family. And the sweet moments between Rhys and Simon melted my heart but then those steamy moments would come into play, and wowsers 🔥🔥. But it wasn't all suspense, angst, and sweetness. There was also so much humor. These characters were so hilarious together!! They had me cracking up with their antics and banter. Everything was so beautifully balanced out, so there were never a dull moment.
The secondary characters became even more intriguing and loveable. And yes, I do want their stories too, lol (you will too after reading more about them 😁). I really am addicted to the wonderful world of Tewsbury.

Angie – ☆☆☆☆
This book was a feel-good holiday read. It picks up right after the first book. I highly recommend you read the first book first or you will miss a lot of context in my opinion.

It's almost Christmas and Rhys and Simon are just as in love as ever. They are going to Simon's dad’s farm for Christmas. Rhys and Simon both have big things they want to give the other.

This book is filled with all the feels. There's a little angst in the book that spills over from the first book, but it is really small. This book is all about love and family. Rhys is so darn cute, especially as a little, and Simon, oh, he's such the perfect Daddy Bear for his baby bear.

Great read, I can't wait for the next book!

FOREVER INK is the second book in the Tewsbury Daddies series, and we follow Rhys and Simon as they prepare for their first Christmas together. Rhys only has bad memories of Christmas, so Simon is determined to make it one to remember for him. But Simon doesn't know about Rhys' own surprise he has planned!

There is a lot that goes on in this story. You not only catch up with Rhys and Simon, but you also have interactions with Simon's dad, Rhys' grandad, Mouse, Cal, and Cullen, as well as a character from book one that Rhys would rather forget. There is a lot of background-building for future books, which is great, but I do feel it took the edge off Rhys and Simon. So much time is spent with others that I found myself missing the connection and playtime between Rhys and Simon.

I still enjoyed the story and look forward to reading more in this series. Definitely recommended by me.

As this is the second book in this series, you need to have read what came before in order to understand past events and who's who. We get another glimpse of Rhys' and Simon's life. I really liked them in the first book and was looking forward to read more about them.

However, this book felt a bit like an afterthought. Not planned out really well and I missed the flow in the whole story. We still get some character & relationship development, especially from Rhys. We also get some very cute playtime and a strong cast of secondary characters, many of whom I hope will get their own story soon. I just feel like this book would have been better as a special Christmas novella or something, not as the second book in this series.

This is a very sweet Christmas story with another HEA/HFN for the main couple. It's an easy read with some hilarious moments. We get to see more of Rhys' and Simon's family while they are enjoying some adventures and celebrating Christmas together.

[Marion · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the second book in the Tewsbury Daddies series. This story continues on with the story of Simon and Rhys where it ended in book one. You really need to read the first book prior to reading this one. Simon is a daddy and Rhys is his little. The relationship already established in book one has continued to grow. The love they have for each other and the thousand ways they show it to each other is wonderful to read. While they do deal with a few negatives from the past, they stand united. And there is a lot of funny parts and humor in this book. For those looking for spice, don't worry; it is there as well. Though you may never think of a sheep the same way again. Mostly I liked how they took care of each other. This is their story. It is well written and easy to read. I enjoyed this book immensely. I look forward to the next book in this series.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I have been looking forward to reading this book since I finished the first one and I was not disappointed. Forever Ink is an amazing addition to this series and I loved everything about it. It is beautifully written, sweet, hilarious, emotional, the characters are wonderful and I was fully engaged from the first page to the last. I love seeing how well Rhys and Simon are doing even though they are still dealing with issues from Rhys's past. They are perfect together and their future is full of possibilities. They have the support of their family and friends as they navigate their new life together and prepare for their first Christmas as a couple. The ending is perfect, the secondary characters add so much to this story and I can't wait to read the next book in this incredible series.

[Readingundertherainbow · Rating 5 out of 5]

Forever Ink is book two in The Tewsburry Daddies series. You can read it as a stand alone- but you will miss out on both a great first book and a lot of backstory.
When I first read an age play story - I really didn’t think I would like it. But I loved it and learned so much. Forever Ink is a beautiful story about Rhys and Simon, who met each other in book one Viking Ink. Rhys was on the run from his abusive father and stepmother. Simon became his safe place and in Forever Ink we get to see their journey towards a happy ever after.
I loved to watch Rhys with his found family and seeing him grow and finding peace, acceptance and happiness. Rhys is funny and there’s so much warmth and humor in these books, even if Rhys story has left him with scars both inside and outside. I highly recommend reading both books and I am keeping my fingers crossed for Mouses story next.

[Ζωή Παππά · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Forever ink" is book two in the series. It can't be read as standalone and it continues Rhys and Simon's story.
It's almost Christmas and Rhys and Simon are getting ready to spend the holidays with their families and close friends but someone from Rhys' past comes back and shakes their calm happy life.
I loved it as much as the first one. Rhys and Simon are wonderful together and I'm really happy we got another book about them.
I loved seeing Rhys getting stronger and overcoming his fears. It was beautiful to see him grow so much as a character. And I adore his friendship with Mitch and Doc.
It was sweet, heartwarming and festive. It just made me smile.
And Rag the ram was hilarious.
Wonderful story. I can't wait to read Mitch and Callum's book.

- an MM romance! age play, age gap, Christmas story, found family trope!
- this is basically a big epilogue from the previous book and that makes me very happy
- all my favs under one roof for Christmas 🥹
- did get second hand embarrassment when he called Simon daddy in front of his dad tho
- the whole 230 pages was chaotic but also filled with so much love
- i do really love that it was Rhys that proposed!
- way more sex scenes than i thought there would be! these two can’t get enough of each other
- look i’ll be honest, didn’t really see the point in the Susan plot line but if we
- all the bickering just made me so excited for Cal and Mouse’s book hehe
- this was just so wholesome and sweet and just what i needed!!

It’s Christmas, and Rhys has never been happier. He loves his Daddy and his found family, and he has secret plans to ask Simon a very important question. But before he gets his chance he’ll have to navigate meddling grandparents, barn elves, glogg, and a slightly murderous sheep. And when a dark figure from his past looms, will Rhys have what it takes to stand up for himself and defend his and Simon’s future together?

This was a very enjoyable story with a good mixture of funny moments, tender moments and scary moments. I loved the goat who hated Simon but loved Rhys. This and Mouse are so funny when they are drunk and even little. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

[Tonya Kloiber · Rating 4 out of 5]

You must read Viking Ink in order to understand what is happening here. NOT a standalone at all.

I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as the first, but it's not bad. There is a lot going on with other characters, and it was lovely to see the rest of Simon and Rhys' families. Magnus and Joe are honestly hysterical. Ragnar steals the story, and I adore his animosity towards Simon, but how tender he is with Rhys. The little bit of angst towards the end of the story sets us up for the next book. Hopefully, the rest of the characters will also be getting some HEAs, because Doc has certainly caught my attention and needs someone in his life!

[Kristy Lynn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Forever Ink is book 2 in the Tewsburry Daddies series but follows the same couple from book 1. So, not a stand alone.

Simon is a loving and patient Daddy. Rhys is a silly but very loving little. They are super cute and hot together. This story continues their relationship with quite a bit of backstory and a returning villain.

There are plenty of fun, lighthearted parts. The goat is a great comedic character. Both MCs have a surprise for the other in this story and it just shows the level of their relationship.

We are definitely set up for future stories, (Mouse), and I hope we are able to read them soon.

Picking up where book one left off

A lovely continuation of the previous book, with a hint at possible characters and storylines for further books. I really enjoyed it except, again, for Americanisms that jolted me out of the story.

The writer shows so much potential, for debut novels, these are very good. HOWEVER, if they are going to set books in countries they aren't living in then a little more research will be necessary. They got the British banter spot on and a lot of phraseology was correct, but the mistakes really pulled me from the story - which is a shame as most of the time I was fully immersed and loving it.

[Janniemac · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was excited for this festive addition to the Tewsbury Daddies series and I was not disappointed. It was so good to catch up with Simon and Rhys again, both looking forward to their first Christmas together. However, something Rhys would rather put behind him shows its ugly face and has to be dealt with before our heroes can have their HEA but there are also some outright ‘laugh out loud moments’ which had me in stitches . I loved that we got to see more of the other characters which sets us up for further books in the series.

[Steph · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a follow on story to Viking Ink, where Simon and Rhys have a well established relationship. We are updated with the case against Rhys' family. Most of this story takes place around Christmas at Simon's family farm. We spend Christmas with everyone and see Rhys flit between being big and little. We are definitely being primed for Mouse's story and possibly a few more characters. It is nice to see how relationships move on after their intial story and we are given the HEA in this book. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book gives up more of Little Rhys and his Daddy, Simon. They are such a wonderful couple and they share a sweet Christmas with their Granddad, Dad, brother Mouse and friends Callum and Doc. Rhys (Baby Bear) gets to have a real family Christmas with everyone showering him with love and support with not too much angst. An underlying theme about Mouse continues . I loved the follow up and look forward to more of the family. I received a copy of this book through Gay Romance Reviews and this is my voluntary opinion.

[Deborah · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this continuation of the romantic story of Simon and Rhys. I loved how much they take pleasure in their life together, and with their
accepting and supportive family and friends.
Some of what you can expect to read in this book:
-Hurt/comfort.
-Age regression.
-ABDL, stuffies, lap sitting, pouting, time out, littles playtime,
daddy feeding his boy, and more.
-Descriptive sexy times.
-Detailed, balanced writing, and witty plot line.

I am looking forward to reading more from this wonderful author. Highly recommended!

[Shelly Doebler · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think this was a really decent companion book to book one in this series. I loved more insight and seeing more from these characters after their happily ever after essentially. It was pretty much an extended epilogue and because of that I think we got quite a few scenes that became repetitive but I wasn’t too upset about it. I do think there definitely could’ve been more done with his stepmom and her nephews situation. I think that could’ve led to a bit richer of a story, but I suspect the author may want to do more with that in the future.
Overall, I don’t think this book was especially needed but I did enjoy it.

[Alonte Gordon · Rating 4 out of 5]

this was a great little place setter

Like the way this ended. It could’ve went for another book. But I’m glad they ended where they did. I’m kinda sad but like I liked the book showed how they were getting on in their lives with everything and the healing. Also the biggest thing was the meeting that felt anticlimactic because of how it was built up but it was another big shift in Rhys healing. And of course you have their relationship. NOW ONTO MOUSE AND CAL. I’m still hoping for a book about the Doc.
