Bailey
Bailey Tisby is one semester from getting his degree and proving everyone wrong about his ability to graduate. All he has to do is make it through one more class. It would be an easy task if he didn't have to work with the most feared professor on campus. Dr. Page is ruthless, unforgiving, and illusive as they come.
When the stress of working for the man sends Bailey down a rabbit hole of self-soothing methods one night, he discovers a world he never imagined filled with binkies and blankets and bibs. He can't click the add to cart button fast enough.
Kelvin Page is frustrated with life. His job as a college professor bores him, his friends have all settled down, and his search for the perfect little never seems to end well. He's especially bothered when one of his students proves to be a temptation at every turn.
Fed up with his own sour disposition, Kelvin decides maybe he needs to just renew his Club Deny membership so he doesn't keep growling at everyone he encounters. At least if he could play Daddy a bit here and there, he'd find some relief.
When Bailey's package shows up at Kelvin's place by accident, the Daddy in him sees an opportunity he can't resist.
Bailey is a part of A Daddy for Christmas, a multi-author series. All the books are standalones, but each Daddy has a unique gift for his wonderful boy (or boys). Except all boys know that sometimes Santa gets it wrong, and it's going to take a very special Daddy to make it right. So why not stay and read them all?

We all know that if a professor, or any educator for that matter should fall for one of their students it could be disastrous resulting in a ruined career. Bailey is Kelvin's TA. When Kelvin sees him, he thinks how perfect he would be and wants to make him his boy. He has enough sense left to remember that he can't do this if he wants to keep his job or ever teach anywhere again. So, he decides to be short tempered, harsh and always out-of-sorts with him, causing Bailey to think that the professor hates him for some reason.
Bailey thought that Kelvin was the hottest thing God had ever created on two legs... but of course he can't show that, he's his teacher and the professor hates him for some unknown reason. Since Bailey's life is very stressful with his rich controlling, slimeball, parents, plus there's the guy that he has feelings for that he doesn't dare act on...and even if he could, the guy hates him...he begins to look on the internet for ways to de-stress his life, and what do you know...he stumbles onto age play. He feels less stress just reading about it...so he thinks this might be something that he's interested in...and just to try it out he orders a few "little" things...well actually a lot of "little" things...then waits for delivery. Checking for the status of said delivery he sees that it says it has been delivered...but he doesn't have it. Someone has it...and that someone knows exactly what it is, because he's a "Daddy" that thought, even though he wanted a "boy", he didn't have the time. Looking at the package he sees the address is almost the same as his...then he sees WHO that package of "little" things was supposed to have gone to. As they say, the rest is history. It was a warm, sweet story, that ended beautifully.
I read this a month or so ago...but forgot to review it. I understand the theory "of everything I've lost, I miss my mind the most" :)

4.5 stars, rounded up.
It just clicked that I'd not published this review when I finished the book a few days ago.
I've been eager to read Bailey's story since he was introduced in His Christmas Conundrum, that I absolutely loved. With the exception of a few minor issues, I wasn't disappointed.
Bailey's had a rough life. The only child of a ridiculously wealthy family with political aspirations, he's been forced to play the game. He had to be the dutiful son who pretended to be part of a happy family both privately and publicly.
His parents were horrible, though that's too nice of a word to describe them.
Another person making Bailey's life miserable is his former professor, Kelvin Page. It was bad enough when he was Kelvin's student a couple of years before, but now he's the man's PA. To be blunt, the professor is a total ass, constantly calling Bailey out for silly reasons. Kelvin doesn't really hate Bailey - far from it, actually - but he feels like he has to be mean or Bailey might see how he really feels.
The only way to describe Kelvin when it comes to Bailey is obsessed. From the first meeting two years prior, he's wanted Bailey with every fiber of his being. No, not just wanted Bailey, he wants to be Bailey's Daddy. Only he has no clue if Bailey is even into kink, much less a Daddy/little relationship.
Spoiler alert - he is.
The way things come together for these guys is cute, if more than a little rushed. I've noticed that about this author's books.... everything comes together quickly, sometimes too quickly.
Even so, I really enjoyed the book. The only reason I'm not giving it a full 5 stars is because of that rushed thing I just mentioned, and a couple of other minor issues.

A Daddy for Christmas: Bailey by A.W. Scott is part of the A Daddy for Christmas series by multiple authors. This is the story of Bailey and Kelvin. (If you've read His Christmas Conundrum then you've been waiting for this story too!!). I loved their story. It was sweet, sexy, full of feels and very well written. Bailey is such a sweety.

📖
Bailey Tisby est à un semestre de l'obtention de son diplôme et prouvera à tout le monde qu'il a tort quant à sa capacité à obtenir son diplôme. Il ne lui reste plus qu'à suivre un cours de plus. Ce serait une tâche facile s'il n'avait pas à travailler avec le professeur le plus redouté du campus. Le Dr Page est impitoyable, impitoyable et illusoire comme on en trouve.
Lorsque le stress de travailler pour cet homme pousse Bailey à se plonger dans un terrier de lapin de méthodes d'auto-apaisement une nuit, il découvre un monde qu'il n'aurait jamais imaginé, rempli de tétines, de couvertures et de bavoirs. Il ne peut pas cliquer assez vite sur le bouton Ajouter au panier.
Kelvin Page est frustré par la vie. Son travail de professeur d'université l'ennuie, ses amis se sont tous installés et sa recherche du petit parfait ne semble jamais bien se terminer. Il est particulièrement ennuyé lorsqu'un de ses étudiants se révèle être une tentation à chaque tournant.
Lassé de son propre caractère aigri, Kelvin décide qu'il devrait peut-être simplement renouveler son adhésion au Club Deny pour ne pas continuer à grogner sur tous ceux qu'il rencontre. Au moins, s'il pouvait jouer un peu au papa ici et là, il trouverait un peu de soulagement.
Lorsque le colis de Bailey arrive par accident chez Kelvin, le papa en lui voit une opportunité à laquelle il ne peut résister.

🖋
Si je n'avais pas absolument besoin de ce poste d'assistante d'enseignement pour remplir mes conditions d'obtention de mon diplôme au prochain semestre, j'aurais quitté l'école depuis longtemps. Il était déjà assez difficile d'organiser mon emploi du temps avec le temps que j'avais été obligée de prendre pour m'occuper des obligations familiales à ma place. Soit je faisais les choses à leur façon, soit je n'avais pas de financement pour mes études.
Non seulement cela me ferait mauvaise impression d'être obligé de contracter un prêt étudiant, mais cela ferait également mauvaise impression sur le nom de Tisby dans son ensemble. J'avais été acculé dans un coin il y a quelques mois lorsque mon père avait exigé que je l'aide dans sa campagne électorale.
Le chemin pour devenir sénateur est long. Mon père s'y prépare depuis bien avant ma naissance. Dommage pour lui que je ne sois pas l'enfant parfait qu'il avait imaginé. C'est pourquoi il me contrôle comme il le fait. Il veut que je lui obéisse, mais il n'a pas beaucoup de marge de manœuvre pour m'occuper de tout. Mon éducation est la principale source de mes tourments.
.
L'envie de m'enfuir est plus forte que d'habitude aujourd'hui. Entre me perdre dans le cours et les discussions qui suivent, j'ai eu beaucoup trop de professeur Page dans ma vie.
La brise fraîche d'août ne fait pas grand-chose pour rafraîchir mon visage surchauffé. Je sais que je dois ressembler à une tomate avec cette rougeur intense. Ignorant mon apparence et les regards évidents que je reçois lorsque je traverse le campus pour me rendre en cours, je me concentre sur une seule chose : le nombre de jours avant que je ne sois plus l'assistante de Page. Cela ne peut pas arriver assez vite.
.
Je regarde Bailey Tisby sortir de mon bureau comme si les flammes de l'enfer s'abattaient sur lui. J'imagine que c'est probablement comme ça qu'il me voit de toute façon. C'est comme ça qu'il devrait me voir. Il vaut mieux qu'il pense que je le déteste plutôt que de connaître la vérité.
Je suis amoureuse de ce jeune homme. Depuis des années.
Le premier jour de cours, il y a deux ans, je m'occupais de tout préparer quand j'ai entendu un rire doux. J'ai levé les yeux vers le son, mon corps tout chaud à cause de ce bruit innocent. C'était... petit. Le son le plus mignon qu'on puisse imaginer. Cette partie de moi, celle qui restait spécifiquement loin du campus universitaire, a rugi à la vie, exigeant que je prenne cette personne sous mon aile et que je m'occupe d'elle immédiatement.
Bailey Tisby était à l'autre bout du fil de ce rire. Ses cheveux blonds roux, ses yeux bleu foncé et son visage couvert de taches de rousseur ont fait battre mon cœur qui était depuis longtemps en hibernation. Je ne pouvais rien y faire, cependant. Pas quand il était tout à fait évident qu'il était un de mes étudiants. La réaction négative pour sortir avec une étudiante était horrible. Plus d'un professeur prêt à être titularisé était tombé en disgrâce pour avoir enfreint le code.
Mais bon sang, si je ne voulais pas tomber aussi quand j'ai vu mon ange.
Depuis ce jour, j'ai travaillé dur pour cacher mon attirance pour lui. Peu importe qu'il soit gentil et aimable avec les autres. Peu importe que je passe encore plus de nuits à rêver de lui et de l'avenir que nous pourrions avoir ensemble. Peu importe que je sois célibataire et seule depuis qu'il est apparu.
J'ai cherché partout ce qui pourrait me donner un aperçu des sentiments que j'éprouve pour Bailey. Pas un seul n'a passé le test. C'est comme si tout ce que j'ai toujours voulu devait se manifester dans la seule personne que je ne pouvais pas avoir.
Je sais que j'exagère. Il y a des milliers d'étudiants dans cette université. Ce n'est pas seulement Bailey qui est intouchable. C'est juste que c'est le seul que je VEUX toucher.
Une fois qu'il est hors de vue, je me détourne de la fenêtre et je consulte mon emploi du temps. Bailey a oublié de prendre les papiers en partant, mais je suis sûre qu'il reviendra plus tard quand il saura que je suis sortie du bureau. C'est toujours comme ça entre nous. Nous nous évitons à moins que nous ne devions nous voir.
Aujourd'hui était un de ces jours. Je ne pouvais pas supporter de penser qu'il était en couple avec l'une des élèves de la classe. Bien qu'il le nie, je me demande toujours s'il n'y a pas quelqu'un d'autre. Je n'ai pas le droit de lui demander s'il sort avec quelqu'un puisque cela n'a aucune incidence sur sa capacité à faire le travail que je lui demande en tant qu'assistant.
Mais je veux toujours savoir.
.
Au fil des années, j'ai laissé mon abonnement expirer. Principalement à cause du manque de temps pour aller au club, mais aussi parce que je me suis retrouvée à m'imaginer avec Bailey là-bas. Je ne pouvais pas faire de scènes avec quelqu'un d'autre quand mon ange était constamment dans mon esprit.
« Tucker va très bien. Il me fait vivre des moments difficiles tous les jours et je l'aime pour ça. Et toi ? As-tu finalement cédé à la tentation avec ton ange ? » Je gémis à la mention de Bailey. J'avais appelé Pat pour ne pas penser à lui. J'aurais dû savoir que mon ami me poserait la question puisque la dernière fois que nous avons parlé, je lui avais tout raconté en état d'ébriété.
« Il va bien. Cette année, c'est mon assistant pédagogique. Je suis à bout de nerfs et je ne tiens qu'à un fil, mais je n'ai pas dépassé les bornes. »
Pat ricane bruyamment au bout du fil. « Pourquoi pas ? Vous êtes tous les deux adultes. »
« Dois-je te rappeler le code d'honneur ? Il y a des règles qui l'interdisent. De plus, j'ai travaillé très dur pour m'assurer qu'il ne m'aime pas. » Je ne pouvais pas supporter qu'il me lance des sourires, alors je l'ai empêché de sourire en ma présence.
« Il y a une fine frontière entre la haine et l’amour. »
« Je pensais que l’expression était haine et amour ? »
Je ne pouvais pas le voir, mais je n'avais aucun doute sur le fait qu'il souriait quand il a répondu : « Si tu fais exprès de lui faire détester, alors c'est certainement plus détestable. C'est un mot plus fort. Tu devrais le savoir avec tous les livres que tu lis. »
« Peu importe, mec. Rien de tout ça n'a d'importance. Je ne peux pas l'avoir, alors je ne vais pas perdre plus de temps à y penser. »
Pat rit bruyamment de mon mensonge. Il sait que je recommencerai à penser à Bailey dès que cet appel sera terminé. Il n'y a rien d'autre que je désire autant que mon ange.

Milo et moi avons une sorte d'entente. Sur le campus, je ne suis qu'un professeur et lui un étudiant. Hors du campus, nous sommes tous deux des papas dominants à la recherche de nos garçons pour toujours. Nous nous sommes retrouvés dans le même espace plus d'une fois, et je suis sûr que nous aurons d'autres accrochages au fil du temps. Un papa un jour, un papa toujours dans mon esprit.
Ne voulant pas gâcher l'occasion de lui parler, je m'approche pour avoir une conversation privée. Trevor passe devant moi pour examiner la pièce de plus près, me laissant beaucoup d'espace avec l'autre papa.
« C’est une nouveauté ? » je demande à voix basse.
Milo fronce les sourcils, même s'il me fait l'honneur de répondre. « Oui, c'est vrai. Il est à moi. Pas à toi. »
.
« Annalise, » je murmure durement. « Connais-tu cet homme autrement que comme ton thérapeute ?! »
Elle secoue la tête. « Ce n’est pas le mien. C’est celui d’une amie. Je l’ai accompagnée pour lui apporter un soutien moral à un rendez-vous et je l’ai rencontré. Il était, il est, si beau et si gentil. C’est nouveau et privé et tout à moi. Mais je m’inquiète de ce que notre monde pourrait lui faire. »
« Notre monde est ce que nous en faisons. Ne me l'as-tu pas dit il y a des années ? Tu ne peux pas laisser la peur t'empêcher d'obtenir ce que tu veux. » En lui adressant le même discours qu'elle m'avait adressé il y a des années, je ressens le poids de ces mots et ce qu'ils signifient pour moi aujourd'hui.

Hmmm
How to review Bailey (student) and Kelton (professor). Melton was IMO obsessed with his student at the time Bailey. Now Bailey is his assistant, but still can't have him by collage rules. Bailey does find Kelton attractive but he acts like an a$$. Kelton pretends to be that to keep distance from his obsession over Bailey. This is about at the halfway mark in story from here on. Suddenly, Bailey is interested in age play?. So he immediately orders "little" things. His boy items ordered online coincidentally were delivered to Kelton's house. This is where, again IMO, where it seems to turn a bit creepy and slightly stalkerish on Kelton's part when Bailey , unknowing who the call was from, gets the address to pick up his box. He was given directions just to enter and follow the arrows which landed him in Kelton's "baby" room already set up for BAILEY. 🤔Once in room Kelton shuts the door. 😮 CREEPY & STALKERISH to me how that went down. 😳 Bailey see's all the boy stuff and SUDDENLY they become Daddy/Boy couple right then 👀 !!. So fast. It was to me a bazaar story as Kelton still acts a bit creepy to the end. Maybe it's just how I seen it play out, so you'll have to read and get your own take on this. More to story with family, but these parts are what stood out the most to me. Happy reading. 🙂

Bailey is part of the ‘A Daddy for Christmas’ collection written by various authors. This stars Bailey Tisby, a little and TA, and Kelvin Page, professor, and Daddy. This is told in first person, present tense from Bailey and Kelvin’s pov.
The blurb sounded good so I picked up this book. Unfortunately, the blurb only gives the plot of the story, it doesn’t cover the writing style or characters. This book was not for me. I liked the plot, but I didn’t like the writing style. It’s in first person, present tense, but at times seems like it’s written in past tense, so mixed tenses. Also, there are a lot of errors in this book, like no one proof read this or they weren’t very good at it. Some scenes and actions seem inconsistent with other scenes in the book.
As I mentioned, this is in first person and the character voices, especially Kelvin’s, are boring. The story is about eighty percent monologue, telling their thoughts, feelings, actions, descriptions etc. Just telling, telling, and more telling. I couldn’t get into the characters because they told me how they felt rather than pulling me in to experience their emotions. I couldn’t believe Bailey forgiving Kelvin so quickly after Kelvin was so mean to him for the past year, no matter what Kelvin’s excuse was.
Bailey was an okay character. He had terrible parents who stressed him out, as did the antagonistic behavior of Kelvin when in the classroom. Bailey decided to search for a way to calm his nerves and found out about littles. Being a little came easy for him and I could believe him as a little. Kelvin, I didn’t like. He was a bully until he found out that Bailey might be a little. Kelvin was obsessive, possessive, and wasn’t into self-reflection. Other Daddies had to give him advice on how to fix his relationship with Bailey. Some people might think that Kelvin’s behavior is ‘swoon-worthy,’ I find it problematic. I mentioned character voices previously. Kelvin’s voice was very monotone. When he told us his thoughts, it was like someone reading a newspaper article. No emotion. I couldn’t believe in them as a couple.
I found Bailey to be a disappointing read, almost exclusively due to the tremendous amount of monologue in the story, which distanced me from the characters. That along with first person, present tense made it impossible to connect to the characters’ emotions. The plot is interesting, but the execution was not. I don’t recommend this story, and give it, 2 Stars.

Another great story by AW Scott!!! The stories she has spun haven’t disappointed me at all. I always am eager when she writes a story because I love/devour the stories she comes up with. Daddies/littles trope is one of my favorite tropes. This one takes place in a college setting. If you haven’t read “An Christmas Conundrum”, I’d suggest you read this one as well since the MCs in that book are in this book as well while Bailey, the MC in this one is in the other book too. It’s nice to be able to say, “Oh yeah, he’s in that book too”. I’d give this one 5 stars!
The story focuses on Bailey, who’s a TA for his professor (he has a crush on) but he’s being picked on or criticized by the professor. He couldn’t understand why. At the same time, Professor Kelvin has feelings for Bailey but because of the “relationship” between professor and student is being frowned upon, he had to suppress these feelings. To be able to do that, he had to be a grumpy professor and criticize/pick on Bailey to keep the feelings at bay. It so happens that Bailey ordered some “littles” stuff but the packages got delivered to the wrong address. It so happens Professor Kelvin’s address was somewhat similar to Bailey’s. I’m sure you can figure out what that entails so I’ll just stop right there and have you pick up the book and read. Don’t forget about the other one as well. Happy reading!

Bailey Tisby is just one semester from getting his degree and proving everyone wrong. He just has to make it through one more class but he is also the TA for the most feared professor on campus - Dr Page. Stress working for him sends Bailey looking into self-soothing methods and ends up in a world he never knew existed with binkies, blankets, bibs and stuffies. HE adds them to his basket as fast as he can. Kelvin Page is frustrated - his job bores him, his friends have all settled down and his search for the perfect little never ends well. This is all made worse when one of his students proves to be a temptation at every turn. He renews his Club Deny membership to get some relief playing as a temporary Daddy. When Bailey's package shows up at Kelvin's place by accident, the Daddy in him sees an opportunity he can't resist.
I loved this story with the two frustrated men, the stress on Bailey from his family, the supportive members of the community and the way that Bailey was a natural Little. I loved the inclusion of Princess Aster and the great support that Kelvin had for his boy. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

Professor Daddy perfection
Five stars for a wonderfully written, sweet, holiday Daddy/little romance filled with pinning, grumping, a brand new little, a package mix up, and a cast of supporting characters that sends this from great to exceptional.
Though it can be enjoyed thoroughly as a standalone sweet daddy/little Christmas tale this book soars if you’ve read at least a couple of the books preceding it in A.W’s interconnected world. XOXO Aster, Tuck & Run, XOXO Grayson, Daddy’s Curious Boy, and His Christmas Conundrum cover all the amazing characters you’ll meet. (Especially His Christmas Conundrum as they happen simultaneously). But why stop there! If you haven’t read all the books in the series those books fall into then you’re missing out. Check out Princess Pen pals and Club Deny series now.
Another Christmas favorite to add to the list and another brilliant peek into the lush world Scott has created.

I love these books by AW Scott. I'm getting familiar with her stories, as I've read the Trevor/Milo story. This is Bailey and Kelvin's story. Kelvin is a professor at a college, and Bailey is his Teaching Assistant. Kelvin Page is known to be a tyrant, and generally unlikeable, and has done everything to make Bailey dislike him. Kelvin secretly has a huge crush on Bailey, but fears repercussions because he is a professor, and Bailey is a student. Not willing to risk his career or Bailey's education, he tries to sabotage any chance of getting Bailey, but a misdelivered package, may change things. Bailey is the gay son of a wanna be senator, and severely neglected and dismissed from his family unless they need him for promotions. Bailey suffers from anxiety, and seriously needs a way to calm himself, a chance suggestion from the internet, might just be the answer, and the way to bring Kelvin and Bailey together after all.

4.5 stars
This one was super cute. Bailey tugged at my heart several times. He was just going through so much. And as much as I ended up loving Kelvin he was not helping Bailey out in the beginning. Bailey was so brave to look for answers and being willing to explore this new kink he was learning about. I did end up loving Kelvin but I did not like how he treated Bailey at the start. Yes he had his reasons but it still made me hurt for Bailey. But when he finally decides to change he is such an amazing man and an amazing support for Bailey. Half a star is taken away simply because I think Kelvin should have actually apologized to Bailey for how he acted over the years. He explained and Bailey just accepted the implied thank you. I just personally would have liked to see Kelvin actually say “I’m sorry for how I went about it”. But that is just my personal opinion. It really is such a super cute, sweet story. Absolutely recommend.

When a professor falls for one of his students it could ruin his career. So when Kelvin sees Bailey, and wants to make him his boy he has to be harsh with him, making Bailey think the professor hates him.
Bailey life is very stressful, while looking up how to de-stress your life he stumbled upon age play. So he decided to buy some little stuff to try it out.
Awaiting for his package to arrive he discovered it went to the wrong address.
Kelvin received the package and set his plan into action, to get the boy he has wanted for the past two years.
Brilliant story, and it had a lot of characters from
A W Scott's previous books

I know daddy kink tends to be instalove/lust, but calling someone Daddy seconds after finding out they don’t hate you and they were only being a jerk to you for years because they wanted to hide their obsession with you is… a choice. Yet something about this book made me want to keep reading.
3/5 stars.

Great story
This story combined two of my favorite tropes: Daddy/boy and professor/student. I really liked how Kelvin revealed to Bailey that he was a Daddy and wanted Bailey to be his boy. This was a sweet story with cute characters, an interesting plot, and a little family drama.

This was awesome!
This was such a great read. I wanted Bailey’s story when I read him in Trevor’s book. And we got some good blasts from the past. It’s always great when PA is involved.

Sweet little
AS Scott did a wonderful job building this story. Not surprised other characters have there own story too. Just picked out two more to add to my Kindle! The story line is believable. Getting a found family in the mix is great.

December 20, 2023Started off with a lot of promise, for me anyway, and then halfway through it just jumped into complete unreality and it was game over.

So I really enjoyed Bailey and Kelvin. Reading feeling falling into the story so I was fully invested and just a little sad when it was over. Sigh I would enjoy more.
