About the author

Ally found her love for reading and writing at a young age. MM romance in particular has been part of her life since her first exposure to late-2000s Shounen Ai.

She likes to write about fierce, damaged boys who need a lot of love, and she doesn’t shy away from dark and taboo topics that some readers might find disturbing.

“Don’t worry, puppy…I’ll give you what you need…”


I really liked this one! First off, the spice level is very high and kinky and it was very hot! I really related to Lane and his submissive needs but also him recognizing that he’s his own person and not just someone’s property. The relationship between Lane and Mason developed nicely and I thought they were very cute together. It’s a cute and sexy read and I’d recommend it to spicy romance lovers! Makes me want my own Mason lol!! 🤣
