Love Theo

Rate this book
One trip to Europe… Lots of surprises and two big questions. Will this Valentine’s Day be the one that changes their lives forever?

Dan has a Valentine’s Surprise… A big one, huge in fact. It’s so good, he can barely contain his excitement. After all, who wouldn’t be excited to get to pull off the biggest surprise for the man that he loves. Because he loves Theo more than anything and he’s about to show him just how much.

Theo has a Valentine’s Secret… One that he’s been keeping to himself for a long time. There’s something he wants to try but he’s never found a man he trusted enough to ask. Until Dan. His yummy Officer Daddy is all he’s ever wanted and Theo wants to share this with him more than anything.


Love Theo is a 15k short story which continues Theo & Dan's story. It contains Daddy kink, age gap, all the feels and steamy goodness. This is book #1.5 in the Dark Reserves series and should be read after book #1, Theo's Game, to enjoy it fully, but it can be read as a standalone.

Dan and Theo

Oh dear that was one sweet short story.

Dan and Theo now live together and they are very happy. It’s almost Valentines and Dan wants to make it memorable.
He doesn’t know his boy has some ideas of his own... Both are nervous as hell.

Ahhh my heart... I loved this short one. The Daddy/boy dynamic is so well done, the switch they make is natural and feels so good...

The scenery is highly romantic and to watch them together, in sexy demanding moments or just at regular moments... they are perfect!
Smoothly and appealing written story, in a engaging way it made me feel if I was in Paris myself.
There is more to learn about both men and I’m so happy there will be a next story...!!

Kindly received an arc from the author.

I LOVED this sweet, sexy continuation for Dan and Theo! This was just perfection for the two of them. I always love little check-ins with couples after they've been solid for a while, whether it's months or years after that HEA of their story.

Look forward to more of this series!

I fell in love with Theo and Dan in the first book and was so happy to know that there would be another peek into their lives. The love that the two of them share makes me happy. This novella included a line that just might be one of my favorites of all time: “he'd found the one. A soul made of stardust, and a heart lined with love.” To me that line is the perfect description of their story. Can’t wait for more in this series (meeting more characters and more glimpses of these two!).

I was gifted an ARC of this book in exchange for a true and honest review.

Love Theo is all things naughty and nice. There's some yummy hot sexy times and some swoony romantic moments and scenes that will make you laugh out loud. If you enjoyed Theo's Game then you need to read this and see what comes next for daddy AF Dan and his adorable boy Theo. If you haven't read Theo's Game then stop what you're going a run to nearer retailer and get it in your grubby hands stat. If you're into Daddy Kink and May/dec this series is a must for you and you'll be hooked. Love Theo is a fab addition and I need more already.

Short & Steamy

I love novellas where you can catch up or revisit with characters, and Dan and Theo’s Valentine’s story was fantastic! I so enjoyed their book, Theo’s Game, so being able to get more from them was great! It was a great peek into what they’ve been up to, and their current steamy vacation in Paris! This was a sexy quick read, and I’m looking forward to more from them in the future!

Quick read with funny moments...

In this little Novella you get a little bit of romance, hilarity, mom and dad advice, and all set in one of the most romantic places in the world. It is a whirlwind of a story. The main characters are interesting. The storyline was rapid, but as with love you never can slow it down.

Valentine's day in Paris

So if you've read the first book then you are quite familiar with our Daddy Dan and his incorrigible boy, Theo. Giving his boy a surprise trip to Paris for Valentine's day is just the start of their crazy whirlwind life together and, as usual, wouldn't be complete without an extra surprise or two. Can't wait for the wedding book!

so adorably cute

Awwwww love Dan and Theo. Just so funny their day to day interactions. Only Theo would get held up at TSA and have all his toys laid out for all to see. Loved Dan and his family. And how his family just accepted Theo and absorbed him. Their double happy ending was beautiful. Can’t wait for the big day.

Perfect

I just loved this valentine's short of Theo and Dan. Just perfect. Can't wait for book 2 to come out soon. This was warm and fuzzy for a chilly night as I was curled up on couch.

Valentine surprises

I really enjoyed Theo and Dan's first book, so to have a Valentine's novella were there is surprises and security problems, but at the heart a wonderful love between this couple.

If you've read Theo's game, you'll love this book where dan and Theo celebrate Valentine's day together. It was so loving and sweet. Both men wanted to surprise the other in a way that would last a lifetime. What neither of them knew was that they both wanted the same thing. HIghly recommend and a must read.

Sweet Valentine!

Dan and Theo, they are synonymous to LOVE THAT IS SO SWEET! I love everything dynamic between them, I love how Theo teases Daddy Dan, but never gets away with it, or when he does it’s because Dan let’s him. The airport scene was EPIC, hilarious, and Theo’s reactions are just so lovable….funny and so lovable! Did I say that Dan has the best Mom/Mommy and Dad? Well, they are, and the way they took to Theo was so beautiful!This was a short but very sweet novella of Dan and Theo showing us how much they love each other. Congratulations Ms. C.S. Joyce, this is beautiful and a fitting tale for Valentine’s Day!

A very sexy and hot novella. I really love Daddy Dan and his sassy boy Theo, and couldn't wait for more 💜💜
It's always a pleasure to see their love dimamics, the way Dan takes care and protects his boy... And Theo's still the same adorable young man who loves to challenge, but in the end will always do what daddy says 💝

We have kink, love, much fun, a memorable airport scene and much much love.

Can't wait for the next books and more about this perfect duo 😍

Lovely continuation of Theo and Dan’s relationship. I do hope Hunter’s story is more in-depth and a longer read than Gabriel and Mikey’s book.
