Rowan's Renewal: An M/M Summer Daddy Romance
Rowan Stratton's best friend means well when she sends him on a luxury vacation across the world. But Rowan has secrets that are harder to keep on long-distance flights and under summery clothes. It’s those same secrets which prevent him from looking for another relationship.
Resigned to feeling lonely and ashamed on a different continent, Rowan goes anyway. He's not anticipating the comedy of errors which lands him with a hot young doctor as his roomie, and he is certainly not expecting the surprises Dr. Aaron Park has up his sleeve.
Aaron Park is a Daddy without a Boy. A man looking to enjoy himself on the vacation his (now ex) boyfriend should have joined him for. With thoughts of summer flings on his mind, he's determined to just have fun. When fate puts a guy so seemingly perfect for him directly in his path, he has to shoot his shot, right?
But does Rowan have it in himself to trust again? To let someone truly see him, flaws and all? More importantly, can he learn to love himself?
Rowan's Renewal is part of the DKAG Summer Shorts collection. This one is a sweet, summer vacation themed novella which features hurt/comfort themes, a Younger Daddy/Older Boy kink dynamic, a first time Boy, and ABDL themes (without much of the AB).
DKAG Summer Shorts is a collection of stories where Daddies and their Boys bring the heat in more ways than one. This sugary sweet series is guaranteed to get you in the mood for summer. Be sure to grab them all!

4.5 stars
This was such a sweet lovely story, a quick read that left me a warm nice feeling.
Rowan is a sad man, almost at his breaking point: he has a medical condition that not only cause him ED but also compels him to wear diapers. He's ashamed, embarrassed and frustrated by it and his previous partners, especially the last one, made him feel even worse about it.
On the first day on his vacation, he's rescued from a double booking mishap by a gorgeous and confident man, Aaron.
After an "incident", Rowan is more desperate than ever and ready to go back home, but Aaron, being the wonderful man he is, is able to calm him down and to take care of him.
For the first time in his life, Rowan feels finally safe.
I adored the development of their feelings for each other, how Aaron let Rowan make all the decision and never pushed his boundaries; Aaron showed him how things could be beautiful between the two of them and that what Rowan thinks as an obstacle, for Aaron's fantasy coming true.
The sweetness in this book is overloaded and despite the kinky side of their relationship, it was all handled in a tender way (like the watersports). And no miscommunication whatsoever.
What prevented me from giving five full stars:
I definitely needed more from the epilogue.
It was good to see characters from the previous books again: Aaron, in fact, is a doctor and he works with Anson (Anson's Awakening) and Vince (Baron's Boo Boo) and both of them appear with their partners, Drake and Bear, supporting Rowan in his approach with a new lifestyle.
I hope we'll see them again in Anna Sparrows' next book.
I received an ARC of this book from the author and this is my honest review.

Rowan’s Renewal is HOT and so so sweet. It’s a combination that’s so specifically Anna Sparrows coded. It oscillates between really sexy smutty scenes and heart-mending relationship building conversations. Aaron is exactly what Rowan needed. He’s so open and honest, and he helped Rowan see that he’s perfect as he is. Reading Rowan begin to see himself in a new, more sympathetic light was so special, and my heart broke for how he’s viewed himself for so long. We also get to see a lot of their life after they return home, and this is what made the book so great for me. I loved seeing the domesticity and the deepening of their relationship. A very easy five stars.

This blurb sets this short, sweet book up well, in that it deals with sensitive issues caused by medical problems, ones that have led to Rowan feeling less than, unloved and unwanted in relationships, embarrassed by the necessity and constraints of his condition, uncomfortable in many social situations, and always on-guard for the unexpected need for bathrooms quickly. When he is sent on an unwelcome trip to Australia by his well-meaning best friend, the last thing he needs is a 13 hour flight and a double booking mistake.
The fates must have been smiling because Aaron has an extra bedroom in his suite and he offers it to Rowan. It quickly becomes apparent to Aaron that Rowan has a problem, and his Daddy side emerges quickly to help Rowan, revealing his kink in the process. Although unsure, Rowan finds he gets a sense of protection and safety with Aaron, able to ask for and accept help when offered. The connection is strong and the relationship moves forward quickly, Rowan finding a sense of freedom and exploration he has not had for years. Finding out that Daddy is from the same town as Rowan makes it possible for the relationship to continue once home, so they can explore if things can work when back in the real world as they juggle Aaron’s schedule as a doctor and Rowan’s schedule of long hours in his job.
These characters are endearing. I adored Rowan, he had a killer sense of humor at times and was a brat for Daddy at others. Aaron was so sensitive to Rowan’s thoughts and moods, emphasizing there was nothing wrong with Ro, the embarrassment and disappointment he had felt was on his exes, not Rowan, and Daddy would always be there for him. Aaron helped Ro explore new things or do things he had stopped doing for years because of fear and embarrassment, and he introduced him to others like himself, which increased his self-confidence. A whole new world opened up to Ro, making him more comfortable in his own skin, and happier with his life overall, all due to his Daddy.
This was a kink I hadn’t read much about in the Daddy/boy/little books I had read, and I thought it was handled with real sensitivity toward men with incontinence or ED problems due to medical causes, not due to a choice of kink. The feelings Ro experienced seemed very realistic to me, and Aaron’s total acceptance and his calm outlook was exactly what Ro needed to come into his own and enjoy his life. I was so impressed with the author’s sensitivity and acceptance shown toward the issue, it just made me feel that men with this issue in real life needed people like Aaron in their life (Daddy or not) to reflect a more caring and understanding attitude. I found myself really caring for these two characters, invested in their relationship going forward. I would give 10 stars if I could, I was that impressed and involved in their story, and I would recommend this book without reservation to anyone who hadn’t read much about this kink. I think I had a better understanding of the dynamic, once finished. Well done, Anna Sparrows!

This book is exactly the kind of low-angst, high comfort story that I turn to Anna for . She's easily one of my favorite Daddy/Boy authors, and this easy read is a perfect example of why. It's warm, it's gentle, emotion and kink affirming, and just the right amount of spice.
This is insta-love at its best, with a connection that feels genuine. Rowan is the picture of vulnerability - older, weary, and carrying more shame than he deserves. But watching him slowly start to accept care and affection from Aaron is like a warm hug in book form. The fact that he's a first-time Boy only makes the dynamic that much more sweet. And Aaron is swoonworthy as a younger Daddy with a heart of gold. He's the perfect mix of playful and reassuring, and he truly sees Rowan and accepts every part of him.
This isn't a story about dramatic conflict or overwhelming tension - thank god. It's about healing, self-acceptance, and allowing yourself to be cared for. The DL part of this is due to a medical issue, and it's handled with grace and care and compassion. The dynamic between Rowan and Aaron is about comfort and affirmation, and it's the perfect escape from reality.
If you're looking for fluff, feels, and the reminder that everyone deserves to be loved exactly as they are, this is the book for you.

I have read a lot of books written by Anna Sparrows, and there are a lot of books that I have highly enjoyed. I think that “Rowan’s Renewal” might be up there with my favorites not just from the author but in the DDlb genre. It is technically book 2 in the Kinks & Conundrums series, while also being a part of the DKAG Summer Shorts multi author series. This is a book that can stand alone but I recommend reading the other books in the series and the wider world at some time. They are all worth the read.
This short novella centers around Rowan, Aaron, and what almost feels like fate. Rowan’s friend buys him a vacation for a week at a resort far from home but a mix up leaves him the roommate for another resort guest, Aaron. Things progress from there and it was lovely to read. Aaron is perfect for Rowan and Rowan is perfect for Aaron. There are hurt/comfort situation in this book but there is also humor, heart, steam, and a feeling of community and belonging. It is a great novella and I wish it were longer. It is great as is but the characters are ones I am not ready to let go of yet and I hop to see them in future books and maybe their own short stories.
I received a copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.

My heart has melted! This book was so so good, a new favorite by the author. I can see myself rereading it every summer. It's the perfect summer read. I felt like I was traveling with Rowan and and Aaron. I would love to visit Australia one day. All the activities they did sound so much fun.
The book was super sweet and romantic, I was smiling the whole time I was reading. I loved how Aaron took care of Rowan and helped him gain confidence.
It was also very steamy and naughty, it made me blush.
I absolutely adored Rowan and my heart ached for him. He was so lonely and he felt like no one would be able to love him because of his condition. I wanted to jump in the book and hug him and tell him that he is wonderful and very very lovable.
Aaron was his perfect match and it made me so happy that those two found each other and their happily ever after. Their meet cute was fate.
Finally, I really liked the cameos. It was a nice surprise to catch up with familiar characters that I love.

It’s a lovely daddy / boy story with one MC, new to the whole lifestyle, suffering a condition that plays into the kink his daddy is very much up for.
Some of it is definitely one of the kinkier stuff that’s out there and I’m amazed by Anna‘s ability to tell us this story in such a beautiful even graceful way… How she shows us that everything is possible in an open, consensual, adult relationship when you talk openly and honestly about your preferences. In the end everything you do in the bedroom is for you and your partner to decide and nobody else’s business.
I love Rowan and Aaron‘s dynamic - Aaron is such a sweet caring daddy for shy, slightly older Rowan who is lonely and longing for someone to share his life and all the daily struggles with.
They meet on vacation in Australia and spend a week together exploring everything there is around their resort. Little by little Aaron brings Rowan out of his shell and strengthens his self-confidence and shows him a whole new world. It’s a dreamy insta love story with a HEA - I’m always up for a daddy/ boy story.

Rowan Stratton reluctantly accepts a luxury vacation from his well-meaning best friend, hiding personal secrets that make intimacy feel impossible. Expecting solitude and shame, he’s surprised when a mix-up pairs him with Aaron Park—a charming, playful Daddy figure mourning the absence of his ex-boyfriend. What starts as a comedic clash of circumstances slowly shifts into something tender. As Aaron sees past Rowan’s defenses, Rowan must confront whether he’s ready to be fully known. In a story of sun-soaked second chances, the real journey isn’t across the globe—it’s learning to believe he’s worthy of love, just as he is.
I loved this short story that weaves vulnerability, desire, and self-discovery. There was the perfect mix of beach vibes and emotional depth. Lots of body positive messages considering Rowan's illnesses and the aftereffects of them. A lot of feelings and emotions in this story as Rowan finds himself his perfect Daddy. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

After Rowan's last relationship ended badly, he thought he was going to spend the rest of life on his own. But a birthday present off his best friend to spend a week on an exclusive Australian resort, gave him hope. After he had broken up with his boyfriend all Dr Aaron Park wanted was to enjoy his holiday at the resort and if he could come to Rowan's aid whilst he was there then he would.
This is a good read if you are new to ABDL and Daddy/ Boy as Rowan is new to the lifestyle , Aaron is good at explaining. Rowan was such a sweet character and prior to this holiday let his condition rule his life. Sharing new experiences with Aaron and seeing him enjoying his life had me smiling.
One thing I love is a younger Daddy and Aaron was perfect for Rowan, letting Rowan make all the decisions and being fully supportive.
Am enjoyable book

Sweet, low angst, younger Daddy/boy
Rowan is so weary, of his medical condition that he's been shamed for, of being alone and having no one to truly rely on.
His best friend Bianca gifts him a vacation.
He's stressed throughout the entire trip to Australia and then there's a snafu at the hotel.
Thankfully Aaron is able to help.
While rooming together Rowan has a mishap that exposes his condition and he's terrified of Aaron's reaction.
What Rowan doesn't know is that he's a Daddy and his kinks perfectly align with Rowan's condition.
I really enjoyed how Aaron was able to help alleviate Rowan's fears with his instant acceptance and understanding.

The perfect mix of sweet, kink, tender moments, steam and humour, it is a quick, but perfectly formed read. It includes a younger Daddy/older Boy, hurt/comfort, watersports (both of the "sports" and kink varieties), medically required diapers and a cute form of forced proximity. It dealt with the medical elements in what I felt was a realistic and sensitive way, very readable.
Rowan and Aaron are on vacation for different reasons, and they unexpectedly find their perfect match in each other.
I really enjoyed the quick revisit with a few characters from some of Anna's previous books.
Loved this book, love Anna's world/s and loved this whole multi-author series - go read them all!
I read an ARC and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is the last in the summer series of shorts. I cried a lot in this one. Rowan is a man with a medical condition. It's caused nothing but problems in his past relationships, and he now is so beat down and ashamed he lives a life of loneliness and shame. His best friend Bianca buys him a vacation in a resort in Australia. He is loathe to go, but he does. Aaron is on a vacation he had originally planned with his ex, but after they ended their relationship, Aaron decides to go anyway.
Aaron and Rowan's meeting each other felt as if the gods were guiding it.
This is heavy on the kink so if you can't handle it, warning.
But for me this story was beautiful..

When his best friend books him a much needed vacation to Australia, Romans life changes for the better when he meets Aaron. Aaron who always lends a helping hand, is smitten with Rowan from their first meeting and the more time they spend together, the more his Daddy side comes forth.
A story of many firsts, exploring kink together and changing body perspectives into positives.
I loved how Aaron and Rowan embraced each other’s needs and brought out the best in each other. The mention of past characters enhanced this plot as well.
A lovely, low angst, Daddy/boy read.

A Rescue and a Romance, but kinky!
I absolutely adore how Aaron's acceptance and desires change how Rowan thinks of himself. If anyone ever needed to be able to give up his stress and let Daddy handle things, it is this neglected sweet boy. I freely admit to enjoying the foray into watersports with the diaper kink too. Bless you Anna Sparrows for catering to us off-center crowd.

Very sweet, heart warming, easy to read! I loved it and read it in one sitting. I loved both main characters and how well they go together, they are really meant to be. I really liked how open the communication between both characters was. I appreciated the tact used regarding Rowan's medical condition, without sugarcoating it.
I really recommend reading the preface as some topics may not be for everyone.

Honestly top 5 books I’ve read this year. I always love Anna’s brand of age play, but this one was really special. We all have different reasons to read and I read to understand humans and humanity, I’m autistic and sometimes it’s really hard to understand people. This book is so far away from my reality, but so well written that I could see the world from a different perspective and actually understand it. I’m amazed by Anna’s talent and I hope she keeps writing forever!

Such a heartwarming ABDL storyline, though Rowans journey is based on medical issues. A surprise trip to Australia from a friend and a mess up at hotel check in allows fate to step in to give him an understanding Daddy he didn't know he needed! Beautifully written and a captivating story that was a pleasure to read.

This was a fun short read. I really enjoyed the way Aaron took care of Rowan. Older Boy and younger daddy is always a win because I love seeing the conventional relationship flipped. Anna Sparrows is always a win and this just continues that.
July 25, 2025
Rowan's Renewal is part of the multi-author DKAG Summer Shorts series, each can be read as a standalone. This is a hurt/comfort, age gap, sweet and steamy read about Rowan and Aaron. I really enjoyed this short story and the wonderful characters.
July 26, 2025
Wow!!!
I’m so glad the author wrote this. The health issue is something I love to see in ABDL stories. To me they go a little bit deeper into characters emotions. I definitely thought that Aaron’s kinks were a great match. I love reading this author and need more.

Rowan's Renewal by Anna Sparrows is part of the DKAG Summer Shorts series by multiple authors. This is the story of Aaron and Rowan. I loved their story. It was sweet, sexy, full of feels and very well written.

Naawww these two are sooo cute together. Aaron is the most adorable, sweet and caring Daddy. And Rowan, poor poor Rowan. Gosh I love him!!! I just loved the support and changes Aaron bought around for Rowan and how they came to their happily ever after. Everyone needs a holiday romance like theirs.

what a small community
Ann’s books just keep getting better and better. Just love Rowan and Aaron’s dynamic and to see Charlie Ash’s dream to completion and that Cherie got a great job now. Well done and can’t wait to read more.

Rowan & Aaron
"I'm different. Reset. Renewed, even."
This story has another fantastic example of a Daddy/Boy dynamic that's not as typical as many available stories. Rowan is a new, somewhat regressive little, but is still learning and understanding his personal ropes. And he's so hesitant to trust that Aaron is accepting and will be there for him as his Daddy. It's a super sweet dynamic and relationship, even as it really develops in just under a week.
I love when we get to see some of the small cameos, knowing I've spent enough time in an author's world to recall other characters.
Rowan's Renewal may not be for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed my read-through. It was incredible sweet, and the relationship and love that grows between Rowan & Aaron feels genuine and long-lasting.
I received an authorized copy of this book and am volunteering my honest review.

Rowan and Aaron are so cute together and perfect for each other. Rowan has some aliments that makes him uniquely suited for Aaron. What I like about the book most is Aaron teaches Rowan to enjoy himself and see past things he could not control. I highly recommend this book.

This is a great story, with a great premise and all. The story is well thought through with small surprises sprinkled in. If you love Daddy/Boy dynamics, but want something more interesting, this is a must read.
The MCs are well written and the story is believable.

Such an amazing read!
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this was such a great book about acceptance and trust. I absolutely loved how open Aaron was and how he felt every step of the way.
