Coco: Dr. Richards' Littles® 34

by Pepper North

Finding the perfect job is only one of her dreams. Will a special man make the rest come true?

Tender-hearted Coco loves animals and has worked hard to excel in her vet tech classes. When she lands the position of her dreams in Sofia and Isabella’s vet clinic, Coco learns about a special dating app designed to match Daddies, Mommies, and Littles together. She quickly fills out the PLAYTIME app and crosses her fingers.

Roman Amato is wildly successful as the owner of the huge mall in town. Sadly, he’s missing someone special to care for and love. Could the sweet new employee who comforts his ailing dog be the one he’s searched to find? That MATCHED alert tells him she is.

Addiction Pepper’s stories will touch your heart and may warm your bottom. While both sweet & spicy, the Dr. Richards’ Littles® stories may contain more heat than some will find comfortable. Playing doctor with Dr. Richards can be an intense experience that borders on electrifying. The greatest risk, however, is developing an intense craving for more after reading just one. Proceed with caution.

Humane death of pet at a vet clinic.

Coco, a gentle animal lover, finally lands her dream job as a vet tech and decides it’s time to pursue another dream — finding the caregiver‑style relationship she’s always wanted. She signs up for the PLAYTIME app, hoping for a Daddy who understands her needs. Roman Amato, a successful mall owner with a big heart, has everything except someone to love and care for. When Coco comforts his sick dog, he feels an instant pull — and the dating app’s MATCHED alert confirms what he’s already sensing. A sweet, hopeful story about two people discovering that the connection they’ve been searching for might be right in front of them.

I enjoyed this sweet, feel‑good romance about love arriving exactly when two people need it most. Coco finally steps into the career she’s dreamed of, only to discover that fate has one more surprise waiting — a Daddy who sees her, cherishes her, and wants to give her the care she’s longed for. Roman, successful but lonely, never expects the gentle vet tech who soothes his dog to be the match he’s been searching for. Their connection feels like pure luck and perfect timing, the kind of serendipity that makes you smile as they find in each other what they’ve been missing. A tender, hopeful story about dreams coming true — in work, in love, and in finding the person who feels like home. This was an MF story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLG dynamic.

Coco: Dr. Richards Littles 34 is the perfect addition
to this series of books. It was brilliant to connect Coco with the twins Sofia and Isabella. Coco is so sweet and kind hearted an introvert who mixes up her words when she gets nervous, but finds her voice with animals and showing kindness to others. Coco has just finished School to be a vet tech & would like to earn more
certificates to help in Surgeries. Dr. Sofia Rossi knew right away Coco was going to an asset to their Clinic and she and Isabella were relieved when she didn't have a problem with them having a Daddy.
On her interview Coco got a kitten eat from a bottle and comforted Buster and his owner Roman Amato through the Difficulty of letting go. Coco was very surprised to see Roman outside the clinic and you will never guess why, wink wink.
It was great to see Zoey and her Daddy Dr. Richards. I hope we see more of all these special Characters Thank you Pepper North

I was so thrilled to find out that there was a new Dr. Richards book. This is one of my favorite series, and I really loved this book. Coco applies for a job at Sofia's veterinary practice, and once the sisters meet Coco, they know that Coco is the person they need to hire. Sofia and Isabella aren't as discreet as they think, and Coco realizes they have a Daddy. The sisters encourage Coco to use the app that their Daddy, Noah, developed to find a daddy of her own. She is quickly matched with Roman, and she learns to be Little.

I sat down and read this story in one sitting. I was on tenterhooks, reading as quickly as I could. I did go back to read it a second time to grasp all the nuances. We visit with Zoey and Dr. Richards, and of course, Sofia and Isabella are a large part of the story. This was a great story with the standard visit to Dr. Richards to get checked out. Those are some of my favorite parts! I hope the author intends to write more in this universe.

Coco is looking to land the job as a vet tech. She is a little flustered but she takes to it easy. Dr. Rossi and her staff see her as a great addition. When Coco assists Sofia with a patient. Things heat up. Roman has come to say goodbye to his boy Buster. He has chased his last ball. When Coco hears about an app called PLAYTIME, she decides to find her own Daddy. Luck would have it; it is Roman. These two get to explore this dynamic. Coco gets to relax and have someone care for her. Roman finds someone to heal with. I do adore that we read about animals coming to the clinic. The pup, Muffin is the best. We of course have to visit Dr. Richard. Ever little needs a checkup. He is thorough. We do have a bit of a scare but thank goodness everyone is ok. Always enjoy stepping outside my usual stories to embrace the little life.

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

I loved this story. A wonderful addition to the Dr Richards' Littles series.
Coco is starting her dream job. As long as the passes the interview. But she gets her words jumbled and is nervous she will make a mistake. As part of her interview she observes a couple of exams, and thankfully makes a good impression.
Coco soon learns that her boss has a hidden side. A little side. She didn't know the stories she had been reading were real. Could she find her own daddy.
Roman gets matched with the cute vet tech that helped him. He's been waiting so long to find his little, could his dreams be coming true.
Throw is some mild danger, inexperience with the lifestyle but willingness to learn, and new friends to create a fun and passionate tale.
I loved this story and highly recommend it, the series, and author.

I really enjoyed reading the story of Coco and Roman.
I thought the story was well thought out and very well written. The storyline flowed well and the characters came alive on the page. Pepper North certainly knows how to tell a good story and how to bring the characters alive that you just want to hug them and get to know them better. I enjoyed the way Coco indeed herself to the readers with her cheeky yet fun loving attitude and her loving way she is with animals. It was great to see the old characters from previous stories. I look forward to reading more about Dr Richards Littles in the future.

I was given an advanced copy of this book to read and I am reviewing with my honest and fair opinion.

I can't even express how excited I was to return to a Dr. Richards Little story. Coco is a sweet girl who gets a vet tech job with Sofia and Isabella (Hello Playtime). During her interview she meets the man who will later be matched with her. I like this story because of how organically it came together. Coco and Roman may move fast, but at the same time they are building a sweet relationship. These books may follow a bit of formula, but that's one of the reasons I love them so much. It's like coming home to a warm hug. Great HEA for Coco and Roman. I'm looking forward to more from this world.

Coco loves animals and then she applied at at the vet there she found Sophia and Isabella, who were the veterinarian and the tech and you were also sisters. Coco Learned that she loved being with that, but it was just hard when they can’t help the pets that are sick. Coco learned about the app play time app that helps find Daddys mommies, and Littles imagines them up. she filled it out and found that she had a match in the play time app. There she met Roman and they hit it off. Roman helped Coco with her little and her adult part of her life. I really love reading Dr. Richards Littles books. I can’t wait to read the next one.

[ZJT · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some tears and some laughter, this book gives you all the feels.

Coco is adorable. I love her quirky mannerisms, they round out her personality, adding a more human touch. I like that she thrives in her chosen profession and is immediately accepted by her coworkers without any angst.

Roman is a wonderful Daddy. Supportive, caring, very focused on Coco and her needs. Encouraging her to live her best life with him, their friends and their special community.

I find this entire series entertaining with maybe a little bit of envy.

DR. RICHARDS’ LITTLES BOOK THIRTY-FOUR

It is so fantastic to be reading a new Dr Richards' book!
I loved Coco and Roman so much!!
This Daddy and Little bring back all the things I loved in the previous books. The steam, the spankings, Dr Richards embarrassing exams this book delivers it all to you and a fabulous storyline as well woven in there as well.
Awesome read and one I highly recommend if you love the series. If your a newcomer to the series I recommend binging all of them, you'll be addicted like me!

[Toni L · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the latest HEA entry in the Dr Richards' Littles series there's no need to worry if you haven't read the previous 33 since this is completely standalone. It's been a while since I've read anything in the series and I enjoyed it much more than I anticipated. Whether that's because I adored Roman and Coco I don't know, although I did remember the stories as being much stricter and harsher. I'm still not entirely sure I'm okay with the format of the medical exam, but overall I really enjoyed this fairly quick, easy read.

[Kaice · Rating 2 out of 5]

Meh

I didnt like we this one. You shouldn't get spanked because you are scared. Then he acted like it was nbd that he put himself in a dangerous situation. . . If she had done it different story. He doesnt listen to her. And she knew she wasn't alone in her lifestyle, the twins she worked with are Littles and she knew it. And she went from never hearing about the lifestyle before to knowing everything and deciding it was for her the same day. Lazy writing. Pepper North needs to wrap up this series and move on.

[Cynkris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Coco is so sweet! There is something so precious about all of Dr. Richard's Little but I think Coco is one of my favorites. And Roman has such a gentleness to him. This is a wonderful distraction to the harshness that is life. The characters feel so real somehow. The storyline is so good, from Coco's first day at work to a sad bit in the middle to the very happy ending. I loved everything about it. Made me want to go back and reread the entire series. 5 stars

[Geeky Girl Review Cafe · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was great being back in the Dr. Richard's series, and getting to welcome new characters into this world Pepper has built.

If you are an animal lover you will definitely enjoy this book, as its set in Sofia & Isabella's vet clinic!

We got to see some of our favorite Little friends, like Zoey (of course) and Coco fit right in perfectly.

I enjoyed this story and look forward to whatever Pepper has in store for us next.

[Katherine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pepper North has a way of writing that pulls you in to the pages and characters that hold your hand happily as she does it. Coco is no different with characters that hold your hand as their story makes you laugh and cry coco is the perfect next instalment in a fun series, which can be read as a stand alone but is all the more fun if you've read the others and get to pop in on a few of your favourite friends.

[JudyAnnLovesBooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

COCO is a sweet and spicy age play romance about finding love and family.

Coco is a vet tech with a big heart. While working she meets Roman, a dog dad and then, through a special dating app that connects people looking for Daddy Dom/Little Girl relationships. Their instant connection feels warm and genuine.

COCO was a quick and satisfying read and gets the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval, TBR and Enjoy!

[Rhonda · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a quick read, but I totally loved the characters. Coco loves animals and has a way with them. She meets Roman when he has to bring his older dog in. Just know there is a scene with said dog having to be put down! I was fine with it because it was worded very well. Seeing Roman and Coco together was great as he helped her find her "little" space in ways she never dreamed of. This whole series is wonderful, and Coco is a happy story to make your day.

[Nessa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've been looking forward to reading Roman's story since he was introduced in another story and I instantly fell for him. I think Coco is how perfect partner, and I'm so excited that they got matched in PLAYTIME. Their connection is instant, and I could feel the sparks as I was reading.

Coco is such a sweetheart and Roman is my Pepper North book boyfriend and I love how their story plays out.

[Martha Lindblom · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a fantastic story. It was so good to revisit some of Dr. Richard's Littles. Coco loves animals and had just finished vet tech school and ready to work. She applied with Dr. Sofia Rossi and was so happy she liked her and found out she was Little. Sofia let the word Daddy slip out and Coco was glad and she found out about PLAYTIME. Now the question is would she find her Daddy? Read this excellent book and find out.

[Tiffany Barnett · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was so excited that we get another book in the Dr. Richard's Little series!

Coco and Roman were a match made in Playtime heaven. I loved the fact that they were both willing to do whatever it took for each other. Roman was a sweet and attentive Daddy.

I loved seeing cameos feom some of my favorite characters. I hope this isn't the last of this series!

[Brina · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved Coco and Roman's personalities'! I would have liked when they met, for Coco to not give in so easily. I understand it's fast paced, but I felt like that was extremely fast. After saying that, it in no way impacts the star rating and the enjoyment I got from the rest of the story. These stories always make me happy! I am voluntarily leaving a review.

[Carolina · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved reading Coco. She has the job I always wanted. Her Daddy definitely takes good care of her. And Dr Richards remains the kind doctor with an adorable Little girl. Added to my reread list.

[Gladys · Rating 5 out of 5]

Coco and Roman's romance was sweet, spicy, kinky and emotional. I had not a single doubt in my head about these two because they perfect for one another. Cuteness and a touch of poignancy give your smile and your heart a bit of a workout as the story unfolds. A definite heart warmer for sure.

Intense Little story

Loved going back to Dr Richards world! These are like bite sized treats to brighten my day! Coco’s story was a little intense at times but oh what a fabulous read! Dogs, bad guys, falling in love….pushing boundaries….its all here!

Cuteness Overload

This is a super cute, quick read. Coco & Roman are adorable together. I love that she is a vet tech. What a great place to work! It's always fun to catch up with other characters from the series.

[Misty Fluff · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was so happy to see another Dr Richard's book and it did not disappoint! I'm so glad another for another Playtime story too! Coco was such a fun Little to read about! It was also fun to read about previous characters in Dr Richard's Little books!

[Pat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pepper returns to her roots - Dr Richard's! A sweet story with a few returning characters. While it is helpful to have read at least a FEW of the earlier books, it is not 100% necessary as the characters can stand alone. As always, a sweet Little finds her Daddy!

[Amber Belcher · Rating 4 out of 5]

What started out as sad, turned into a beautiful thing. It brought 2 of the best people together! This book got me intrigued from page 1!
