The Game #2
Their Boy
The Game Series, #2 [Standalone.]
Left all alone in the world—and in a very big house—after the loss of his parents, Kit Damien has struggled to find his place in society and in the kink community he longs to be a more active part of.
Daddy Doms Colt and Lucas have been a happy, committed couple for eight years. But two Tops need a bottom, and their quest for a Little to make their lives complete has led them to Kit’s empty doorstep.
But just as with his physical wounds, Kit’s emotional scars won’t heal overnight. Colt and Lucas must challenge him at every turn to force him to open up and let them in, to let them use their own individual methods to make him whole again. Together, the three will embark on a journey to learn about true love, growing up, the importance of sprinkles, and the rules of The Game that can make them all winners.

I'm often stoically silent or, if the topic interests me, a chronic rambler. In other words, I can discuss writing forever and ever. Fiction, in particular. The love story—while a huge draw and constantly present—is secondary for me, because there's so much more to writing romance fiction than just making two (or more) people fall in love and have hot sex. There's a world to build, characters to develop, interests to create, and a topic or two to research thoroughly. Every book is a challenge for me, an opportunity to learn something new, and a puzzle to piece together. I want my characters to come to life, and the only way I know to do that is to give them substance—passions, history, goals, quirks, and strong opinions—and to let them evolve. Additionally, I want my men and women to be relatable. That means allowing room for everyday problems and, for lack of a better word, flaws. My characters will never be perfect.
Wait…this was supposed to be about me, not my writing.
I'm a writey person who loves to write. Always wanderlusting, twitterpating, kinking, and geeking. There's time for hockey and cupcakes, too. But mostly, I just love to write.

Look, I'm a daddy-kink aficionado, but this book rubbed me in all the wrong ways.
Poly books aren't my thing, but I'm legit obsessed with the Fun With Dick and Shane series (Gilli-fans, FOREVS) so I figured I'd enjoy this one. Right? Not so much...
I don't think I like sadist daddy doms, and, to be honest, the book didn't feel very daddy to me. Just too much regular BDSM, which isn't my thing. I didn't think the kink was very well established, and I thought many, many more discussions were needed before these three jumped into their lovey arrangement.
I also felt like Lucas was an afterthought and Colt was a dick. Yeah, I said it.
I think daddy/little books have to be done just right, and this wasn't it for me.

TIME OF DEATH: 49%
I'd like to think I have an open mind. And then I read shit like this book and think.. i'm gonna go sit my white-bread ass back down because holy hell that was... something... 🫠🫠🫠
I enjoyed the mmm element (this was my first attempt at an mmm, and I think for sure it's something i'm into hahaha)
And the smut was SMUTTING! 🔥🔥🔥
I can sense that Cara Dee knows wtf she's doing when it comes to smut, because it's so good when you seperate the smut from.. LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE in this book...
Attempting not to kink shame here... but also I'm allowed to not enjoy someone else's enjoyment?... so brb while I
and maybe my next read will be something with kittens and rainbows and a bible, or 10 bibles.
Colt and Luke in this book were not the hotties from the prequel that I enjoyed? These were demons wearing human skin.
Luke was like a weird fucking old man saying "dear", he was obviously being painted as the calming, kinder lover.
And colt was like... a horny cave man. like. ME HORNY. ME BIG. no thank you.
The protectiveness of their "little one" I can understand on some level, but ultimately... the "age play" killed me...
Sure, I am uneducated in this kink realm, I'm trying HARD not to yuck anyone's yum but fuck man, I didn't enjoy that a 45 year old "daddy" was wanting to fuck a 24 year old who was acting like a 7 year old...
(and I mean that literally, they physically CARRY him home because he had "a sore tummy" and the 24 year old is having a bath and playing with the bubbles like a kid, and I had to DNF at 49% because the 24 year old says something like "Daddies, look at me" while I prepared to do a cool jump into the pool.
I SIMPLY CANNOT
I'm dnf, and by i'm dnf, I mean I'm damaged now forever.
thank u.
I'm too whitebread for THIS type of taboo. and 1. that's okay. 2. that's on me bbgirls. 3. it's cool if you're into it, but be safe and consent n shit you know?
Protect your kids.

Until approximately 80 percent, this was a 5 star book for me. I am not a big fan of Daddy/little kink, but I loved Power Play, Madigan and Abel's story, and enjoyed the first The Game book, which serves as a prequel to Their Boy.
This book is told from Kit's perspective, with Kit being the boy of the title. Having lost both his parents and suffered extensive injuries in a car accident, Kit is restless and insecure. He longs to have a Daddy of his own but doesn't dare dream he can have not one but two amazing Daddies: Colt, cocky and sadistic, and his husband, Lucas, who's more gentle and nurturing.
The relationship angst in the story is almost non-existent. Kit's bratty side comes out, but Lucas and Colt are ever patient with their boy. When Kit acts out, his Daddies dole out appropriate punishment.
Kit's ice cream with sprinkles obsession, as well as his furvor to redecorate his entire house to please his Daddies, were freakin' adorable! Kit was very cute when he allowed himself to regress and let go.
The sex is out of this world hot and perfectly kinky. I loved the dynamic between the three men and liked visiting with Madigan and Abel again (Kit and Abel are good friends).
But back to the 80 percent comment: I'm not going to give anything away, but the story took a rather dark turn toward the end that made me uncomfortable. I was riding along on a happy high when all of a sudden, it's like WHOA, what the hell just happened? We have Predators and prey and ... no, this scene, while claiming to be cathartic, didn't fit the tone of the rest of the book.
It didn't ruin the story for me, but I didn't love it and really think Kit could have achieved handing control over to his Daddies in a different way.
Even so, the ending was very sweet, and I am very curious to see where this series goes next. I am fascinated by all the Daddy Doms and littles and sincerely hope The Game remains a M/M series. I am not a fan of series that mix genres, as Cara Dee is unfortunately fond of doing.

So...I think it's safe to say this series isn't for me.
DD/lb....eh, I can take it or leave it. In this case, I should've left it.
I didn't like Colt. Period.
Lucas...meh, he didn't feel too present in this one. And every time he called one of them dear. CRINGE! One of my absolute least favorite pet names. Ranks right up there with honey. GAG!
I guess I just don't care for the little boy character. I get he's supposed to be a bit of a brat and immature. And he was. But in this case it just got on my nerves and felt...I don't know? cheesy?!
I pretty much just read the dialogue.
And some of the sex scenes *were* hot. I'll give Cara Dee that. Along with the cover.
The rest...not so much.

3 Piece of my Heart Stars ⭐
Well damn. It's kind of disappointing when you've convinced yourself that a book will be perfect and then it’s not. And this is the dilemma. There were parts of ‘Their Boy’ that clicked and then other’s I needed to skim over. So, to explain, I have this love for daddy kink/age gap romances. But I think what I’ve read in the past may have been glossed over, possibly romanticised. Because in this instance, Cara Dee uncovered my eyes and potentially offered me another form of realism. And it pushed boundaries I didn’t know I had...
Colt Carter and Lucas West are two Daddy Dom's that have been in a long-term relationship for years. As active members of their BDSM community, both have had an underlying yearning for a 'little' of their own. After a few failed attempts, they had almost given up on the notion, until Kit Damien.
Kit is a young man, inexperienced in living. With emotional baggage stemming from his youth and recent incidences, he is emotionally paralysed. Although comfortable in his sexuality, broaching the next phase in what he desires seems impossible.
"Hmm." He dipped down some and let our foreheads touch.
"I think you’re blind. Something took a whack at your self-esteem, and now you don’t see your own appeal. That’s fine. I like a good challenge."
Once Colt and Lucas lay eyes on Kit and make the effort to know him, it becomes clear that he is the missing piece to their equation. And with their love and guidance, they draw out their little boy that just needs to be loved.
"I’ll gladly accept any help", I croaked.
Lucas hugged me to him, a hard squeeze that put me back together as much as it threatened to tear me apart, and all I could do was hang on for dear life.
However here is my predicament. I loved these 3 men individually as well as their idiosyncrasies. The care that Colt and Lucas showed Kit was endearing and selfless. Unfortunately, the feeling that Kit exchanged one set of parents for another that also got him off, made me squeamish. The dynamics felt wrong. Plus, Kit had many insecurities (although founded) that were rehashed numerous times. This had my eyes glazing over.
A big shout to Lana Reads and Knits for buddy reading this with me. Your feedback provided much needed clarity!

I’m really disappointed that I didn’t like this.
This second book is told from the POV of 21 year old Kit, and we of course learned at the end of the previous book that Lucas and Colt were interested in meeting him to see if there was any chemistry.
And when the three meet at one of the kink munchies, Kit is his normal anxious self. He has very low self esteem ever since his parents died and isn’t sure anyone would ever want him. When the two men make it clear they have an interest in him, he doesn’t know that to do with that.
The daddies invite themselves over at Kit’s for the whole weekend and Kit is sure it’s too good to be true. These two gorgeous men can’t be interested in him, could they? But that’s exactly what it looks like. Now Kit just has to believe it….
I was really hoping I would like this more than the previous book because there would be some real daddy kink, but unfortunately I liked this even less.
My main issues:
- I had a really hard time that these guys never really discussed their kink with each other. There are all kinds of levels of age play and I would think that one would discuss if they are in a diaper/binkie kind of relationship or if the daddy kink is more the BDSM kind and there is almost no age play, or if it’s something in between.
- I still REALLY disliked Colt. I don't like sadistic Daddies at all. Not that that was the only issue I had with him. He just got on my nerves.
- I HATED the scene at the end. Now I can do a fake
- This was way too BDSM-y for me. I’m really into Daddy kink and age play, but I’ve outgrown regular BDSM. And I thought this was more a D/s relationship than a true Daddy/boy one (or Daddies/boy).
This book was a chore to get through and I’m even sad my precious Abel and Madigan were in this. I love them, but I now feel they are tainted by this book (stupid, I know).
I know it sounds like I hated everything, but that’s not true either. I guess I’m even more disappointed because I did like Kit, and I wanted good things for him. I just wanted Colt to take a hike I guess.
Not my favorite series of Cara Dee…. :(

Told in single POV, 1st person, it’s the second installment in "The Game" series. Even though this can be read as a standalone but still I think it’s better if you read it in order. Book one was Colt and Lucas’ story (the Daddies) and this one is them when they find the right boy, Kit. This story was a struggle for me. My major complaint is about their chemistry (I couldn’t feel it). Yes, Kit and Colt had something with each other during the story but most of the time I felt Lucas was left alone! My other issue is that I expected something more angsty, you know how Cara Dee can write them. All in all, it didn’t live up to my expectations, hope you enjoy it more than me!

3/20/21 - I’m actually not sure why I DNF before because that part didn’t bother me this time. I liked the MC’s story but I just didn’t understand the purpose in the need for “the game.”
——————
DNF'ing at 56%. Sadistic DD's are definitely not my thing.

"Scars are like book covers. They hint at a story. We know the story is there, but we are the authors, and we tell it."
To be honest, DD/lb isn't really my kink. That said, Cara Dee knows just how to write it so that I kind of love it, and Their Boy was no exception. Do be sure to read Top Priority, first, however, so you can experience Colt and Lucas establishing their relationship and their need for a little. There's not really kink in book 1, but there definitely is in this book.
Their Boy introduces Kit, a little who has never really gotten to experience the kink scene in the ways he's needed. Kit has lived an incredibly sheltered life and his parents, his mother, especially, were very much over-protective of Kit, never allowing him to do things like take a bath or take the Metro. Since their death, Kit has floundered. The accident that killed his parents, also left him heavily scarred, which even covered in tattoos, makes Kit very self conscious.
Colt and Lucas have been together for 8 years and they're still as in love as ever. While they have played some, over the years, they've never found that one thing they've been missing -- a little of their own. Meeting Kit at a local munch, gives them a glimpse of what could be and so they explore Kit's receptiveness and embark on an actual relationship.
There wasn't really any relationship angst to speak of, but there was definitely some uncertainty on Kit's part. He's not experienced, but he longs for a Daddy Dom (or two!!) to take over, and together they all forge their way. Both Lucas and Colt are nurturing and definitely in charge. Lucas has a softer touch than, Colt, too, which I felt was important. And the sexytimes? Smokin' HAWT. Dear god, Cara Dee writes some steamy sex.
There is one scene that some readers might find uncomfortable, and I'm no exception, there. I was uncomfortable, but the context was important for me and in the end, I was ok with it. I'm not going to spoiler tag anything, but do be aware that there is a little RACK play (Risk Aware Consentual Kink) in this one.
Lastly, our guys get their HEA and their commitment, chemistry, and love shine through.
Recommended.

After loving book 1 in this series, I couldn't wait to see how Colt and Lucas finally came into their kink of being Daddies. When the love of your life if another Daddy Dom like yourself, that could cause some problems in a relationship.
These two are still madly in love after eight years together, and their sex life is satisfying. But they know they both missing being Daddies to a little.
After meeting Kit in their local "community", they know pretty soon that he could be just what they've been waiting for.
But Kit has a lot of growing up to do, from a maturity standpoint. He's been sheltered his entire life, until he lost his parents and lost almost everything he'd ever know.
The sex scenes with these men were phenomenal. Cara Dee knows her way around writing the most sensual scenes.
She also knows how to push the boundaries of this vanilla girl. While DD/lb relationships aren't my particular favorite kink to read about, I knew she could pull it off to make it enjoyable for me. And she did. But boy did she push me...….particularly with one forest chapter. But I'll leave that for you to read about.
My only niggle was that I'd hoped there's be more relationship angst. I'd hoped to get more than just Kit's POV, so that the reader could see the feelings or potential jealousies from our two Doms.
Everything came together so perfectly, almost too perfectly.
For someone who isn't the biggest fan of this kink, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Cara Dee never steers me wrong.

Well, it wasn't quite what I expected. I understand now, why so many were disappointed. While I absolutely loved the story about Lucas and Colt, two Daddy Doms, this one was told from Kit's perspective - and couldn't really connect with this damaged and traumatised boy. I felt for his tragedy, of course, but as soon as I got to know him better, something shifted for me.
Kit's mind was one of an immature human and I couldn't stay in it for long. It was exhausting. The mood swings, the regression, the brattynes - I couldn't care less about any of that. As much as I appreciate some Daddy-kink, it went long past my comfort zone here, and Kit's childishness made me quite uncomfortable. I guess the equal footing and maturity in any relationship (outside of the bedroom) are way too important for me.
On the other side, I liked how BDSM was used here for healing. Lucas and Colt helped Kit get out of the emotional cage he created for himself and was ready to break out from. It was well done.
As the other books by Ms. Dee, it was very well written and I'm happy those three got their HEA.
Lovely Isabella, thank you for buddy reading it with me, I appreciated your input!
Well, it wasn't quite what I expected. I understand now, why so many were disappointed. While I absolutely loved the story about Lucas and Colt, two Daddy Doms, this one was told from Kit's perspective - and couldn't really connect with this damaged and traumatised boy. I felt for his tragedy, of course, but as soon as I got to know him better, something shifted for me.
Kit's mind was one of an immature human and I couldn't stay in it for long. It was exhausting. The mood swings, the regression, the brattynes - I couldn't care less about any of that. As much as I appreciate some Daddy-kink, it went long past my comfort zone here, and Kit's childishness made me quite uncomfortable. I guess the equal footing and maturity in any relationship (outside of the bedroom) are way too important for me.
On the other side, I liked how BDSM was used here for healing. Lucas and Colt helped Kit get out of the emotional cage he created for himself and was ready to break out from. It was well done.

I'm forcing myself to give this two stars rather than one, the only reason being, I normally love Cara Dee's writing.
I absolutely hated this story, it read like two grown men raising their bratty child. The twenty-two year age gap between Colt and Kit was too much. I dislike the middle, absolutely hated the end, and Colt became a character that I wanted nothing more to do with. EVER.

Story: 3 stars
Main Characters: 3 stars
Cover: 5 stars
The moment I finished Top Priority I had to put my hands on Their Boy - I actually couldn't wait to meet Colt and Lucas on their quest for a Little as an addition to their relationship.
I must admit that this book was a bit of a struggle for me. Colt, who has been my favorite character of the first book, was amazing in this one too, but I had the feeling that I completely lost the connection to Lucas. There were a lot of intense scenes between Colt and Kit, nearly none between Colt and Lucas - which I definitely considered a pity - and somehow the scenes between Kit and Lucas didn't catch me at all. While it makes sense that the relationships between the individual characters in a menage and especially in a Daddy-Little relationship can be very different, I felt it was a little too unbalanced here.
An other aspect that bothered me a bit was the constant repetition of Kit's ice cream and sprinkles addition - it was cute a first, but I got annoyed by it over the course of the book. It wasn't that much fun to read about a Little one's ice cream cravings on every second page. But that might just be me ...
All in all, Kit was an interesting character with a lot of issues connected to the traumatic loss of his parents and the fact that he closed himself in after that - fearing to lose each and every person he might get close too and ending up with even more of a broken heart. Colt and Lucas have been luring him out of the darkness and I enjoyed this part of the book.
Don't work against me, Kit," he warned. "You don't wanna do that. You don't want this to turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Lucas and I haven't given the slightest indication that we're gonna leave, so don't shove us out of the fuckin' door." It took him three steps to cage me in and push my pulse through the roof.
A few words on the kink - I think the Daddy/Little relationship was rather well done, but I especially liked The Games - I won't spoiler anything on the actual content of The Games, but I found them very intriguing and couldn't stop finding myself remembered of a very different The Hunger Games Edition.
Okay, before I finish ... I might not have liked this book as much as I was expecting ... the most disappointing being the dynamics in the relationship between Colt, Lucas and Kit, but I already got my hands on the next installment in this series. The twin brothers Reese and River that are a part of the BDSM community we met in this series are very exciting and I can't wait to get to know them better in the next book ... and that blurb is very catchy!
I might even start reading Breathless today - lucky me ... the book has been released just yesterday.

February 26, 2022
reread Feb 2022
This recently came out on special so I bought it to add to my collection and I have to say a couple of years later and I’m reading this through different eyes. This is actually pretty adorable. Kit is very young but he’s been sheltered so much in his privileged life. It’s wonderful to see his two Daddies help him grow into an independent man and still retain his spark. Solid 4 stars but only because there wasn’t enough kink in it. ;)
Original review
3.5 stars
Theres little to no angst in this, which I liked considering what Kit has gone through. Just two Daddy’s trying to get Kit to stand on his own two feet before he gives control over to them. I did like this. Maybe not as much as this authors other stuff but enough.
I was intrigued by a few characters in this so I really hope it continues. Brothers, River and Reese, especially. I really hope something is going on there. *kinky dirty sigh*

*3.5 stars*
I'm very surprised I didn't like this more. DD/lb is definitely NOT my kink but Cara Dee is a favorite author who makes everything work somehow. I mean, I really liked Power Play. But here, the ick factor never went away for me. Every time Kit would suck on his finger and asked for his teddy bear after sex I died a little on the inside *whimper*. This is all on me, though, because for someone who's into this particular kink, this book is haven.
What made this a miss was that there wasn't enough angst, at least not the kind of angst Cara Dee has spoiled me with. Also, I was hoping for more interaction between Colt and Lucas and it was all about their boy here. We didn't even get their POVs at all. Last but not least, Lucas felt different than in the first book. I don't know what, he just seemed...off.

Superb kink from the pen of Cara Dee
Cara Dee just pushes my buttons and nowhere more than when she writes kink.
This time it's my two favourite tops from Top Priority who've been looking for their own little for a long time.
Lucas and Colt were on fire in their own book and eight years later, their love is still as strong when they come across Kit.
He's been struggling since his parents died and it's clear he's searching for someone to take control.
I know other reviewers have expressed concern at one of the big things which happens later on in this book, but for me, it was absolutely within keeping for Kit's need to be taken right to his limits and pushed through.
I felt the dynamics were built up throughout the rest of the narrative to reach that breaking point and the resultant after care not only demonstrated the love and respect between all three, but showed how much Kit had needed to reach emotional break point.
It's definitely a hard scene to read though and perhaps not for those who don't 'get' how the SM bit of BDSM can work to the benefit of both partners even if it looks like one isn't totally into what's happening.
For me, Kit never safeworded and the ultimate outcome proved the cathartic nature was needed.
It's perfectly written kink throughout, it never veers into a 'them' and him. Kit is theirs from the moment he agrees to play.
I loved everything about this book.

I have to admit that I’m disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high? All I can say is this didn’t live up to book one. I loved book one and looked forward to seeing Colt and Lucas get their boy. I loved the beginning, but it started going downhill fast. And that bullshit game? Fuck that with a hot poker. 😡🤬
March 16, 2021
me, before: Why is this series called 'The Game' honestly? Are they into sports? Halfway in and I'm confused. Did I miss something?
me, now: oh. Oh. OH?!!!? What the fucking hell.
No words, honey. What's better than a Daddy Dom? Having two of them! I love how this book made uncomfortable and wanting at the same time. It pushed me to my limits on what I can and cannot stomach in these kind of relationships. Colt and Lucas took my breath away even though I liked Colt a bit more. How they took care of their boy, Kit, was just beautiful. I wonder how the twins, Reese and River, will top (wink wink) this one? Excited! Where's my kink community at!!

I think this book should have a rape trigger warning. DNF’d at 80% or so.

3.5 stars.
This was well written by Cara, and I'm glad I read it.
However, my joy reading it was marred by a few issues...
I'm fascinated with Daddy/little dynamics, so wanted to learn more by reading this book. While that was achieved somewhat, it felt limited by the book being written purely from little, Kit's POV. I love Colt and Lucas so would've loved to read the development of this Daddy Dom x 2 and their little's relationship from all POVs. After all, this was the beautiful story of Colt and Lucas finding their missing piece so why not get their POV too?
And, if I'm being honest, I'm reading a kink book about two hot Daddy's and their little one for the sex as well as plot and there just wasn't enough in sex in this book!
Lastly, the book took an interesting turn in the last 20% with The Games. I'm not sure I fully appreciated the reasons for why Colt believed this was the way to break "Kit," and at times generally, I struggled with Colt's sadism and tougher approach. Equally, I was disappointed with Lucas's lesser role in the story which seemed to focus more on Kit and Colt's dynamic.
I still enjoyed parts of it and will read more of the series, but I'm only able to rate this 3.5 stars.

4.5 Stars! Daddy Kink 😍🔥😍
I adored this! I enjoyed it so much!
If you enjoy daddy kink, then this is for you! It was hot, sexy, kinky & different from your standard BDSM fare in MM Romance.
There was hurt-comfort, MMM, r*pe play, punishment & love.
This is a continuation of Colt and Lucas’s story, but you don’t necessarily need to read their book to enjoy this one!
The POV is Kit’s, an insecure sub/little who is lonely, awkward, and protected from the world. He’s still in shock/mourning from the accidental deaths of his parents. He is insecure physically due to his extensive scars.
Through his two Daddies, he is able to work through repressed pain and let go of old baggage.
I thoroughly enjoyed this and I especially loved sexy times with two Daddies and their little 🔥🔥!
This would be fabulous in audiobook!

I enjoyed this read and loved Colt & Lucas in book 1. Finding Kit was a joy for them both and together they helped Kit move from being a bystander in life to an actual participant. The Daddy Doms were clever in how they helped Kit find his confidence and courage but I wasn’t sure about the “psuedo rape scene” in the game which put me off a bit ? This dynamic shift didn’t fit with the rest of the book ... anyway really enjoyed it all the same ❤️
April 25, 2024
I don’t know I‘m kind of disappointed with this one?for me it doesn’t live up to the first book. I was really looking forward seeing Colt and Lucas again with their boy. I mean idk something here just feel really off and the game wasn’t for me at all, I was thinking to dnf it but then I just went though it for whatever reason.

I liked it but I didn't love it.
I wasn't bothered by the sadism, as I enjoy BDSM incorporated into daddy kink. I loved how Colt and Kit bonded over their mutual love of fighter planes--that was some quality banter!
Now, I love me some broken boys in my books. Tragic backstory, yes please! But I was put-off by Kit in general. I felt like he was too privileged to be relatable. I can only handle so much of that "poor little rich boy" shtick.
(I was never able to get into Batman for the same reason. *shrugs*)
Losing both of your parents in a car crash is nothing short of tragedy. But most people don't have a full-time staff to continue shielding them from the realities of adulthood in the aftermath. Kit still retained his lifelong primary caretakers, Rosa and Vincent. He didn't have to lift a finger to take care of himself, which is tragic in its own way, I suppose.
Kit had a good, loving relationship with his parents, but we learn about his mother's mental illness and how it impacted his life prior to the accident. This was something I could latch onto--it gave depth to his grief. People seldom talk about the unhappy memories they're left to reconcile with in the wake of death. So kudos to Cara Dee for doing that. It is much more poignant (and interesting!) to mourn a problematic person than it is to mourn a perfect one.
Kit's "first time" is completely skipped over, and all we get is the afterglow. I felt a bit cheated on that one. (Side note: I get that someone's first time being penetrated isn't always sexy, but when you have not one but two patient daddy doms, it's hard to imagine that it wouldn't be sexy. And even if Kit's first time had been awkward and uncomfy, I still would've wanted to read it!
It irked me how long it took to say "I love you." I understand that Kit had baggage, and that Lucas and Colt wanted to tread carefully. But in the context of this book, when everyone is so open about their kinky desires from the get-go, it shouldn't be so difficult to say "I love you." People are weird.
The infamous scene towards the end was hot as hell in its own right (YMMV), but I don't think it belonged in this particular story.
I feel like the biggest jerk saying it, but Kit's character ultimately didn't work for me. The fact that he was so sheltered from the get-go really detracted from the sweetness of his submission and regression.
"The way you regress after you've suffered," [Colt] murmured.
"That’s twenty pounds of control and worries you just forked over to your Daddies, where it belongs. Adulting builds up pressure, and now I have the best way to relieve it for you."
God, this writing is lovely. But how much adulting had Kit actually done at this point? Baby steps, I guess.
WTF is up with Vincent? He really didn't make much sense to me as a character. From the get-go it's made clear that he's retained his salary and job security after the death of Kit's parents.
tl;dr Kit is basically Bruce Wayne, in the most banal of ways. Still a good read.

Reread Jan. 20, 2023
In book #1, Top Priority, we met Colt, Air Force Pilot, hardcore BDSM sadist, Daddy Dom, plus Lucas, who is also a Daddy Dom, a switch, Colt's husband and a businessman. This book can stand alone, but I really enjoyed getting to know Colt and Lucas.
Now, we meet Kit, 22, a "little" in need of a Daddy. He lives alone, with a housekeeper and guard/chauffeur. He's struggled so much, and was scarred badly in the accident that took his parents when he was younger. He has tattoos covering his scars. Kit...
Colt and Lucas have searched for years for a "little" to love and play with, and have a family. I thought I knew these guys so well, but I had some great "ah ha" moments. It's an intense tale of a needy guy, Kit, and two Daddy Doms in need in their own way. The sexy scenes are hot, powerful, explicit and fabulous. Lucas...
Colt...
Some reviewers nearly scared me away, but I'm glad I read this amazing story.
Later, there is a meeting and the Doms and littles, a specific kink, discussed what would happen at the Forest Games, so, everyone knew what to expect. The littles that were new, still had the surprise element. Even the "rape play," yes, that is a thing, was understood by all. After the forest, more help was needed, aftercare given, and the explanations given, where we saw what it all meant for Kit. The "littles" have deep seated issues that needed tending.
It all fit into place, and I got it.
Folks with rape triggers should read a few reviews and decide for themselves. Cara Dee writes about boundaries pushed, and limits tested. Is it for everyone, no.
I enjoyed Kit's journey to find his freedom and peace, and in addition, our Doms found their happiness. It is different, strong, raw and powerful.
We do finally see Kit succeeding, strengthening, fitting into his full little freedom, and Colt and Lucas at their daddy Dom best.
Plus we see their relationship cemented and it's a wonderful ending, and epilogue.
BDSM, a sadist, a switch, Daddy/little, plus Dom/sub.
It's a slow growth to our trio's formed potential.
I enjoyed this book.

reread (4.5/5).
I remember not understanding anything about this book. How blind was I?
I remember not understanding the game. That was probably the biggest thing that bugged me about this book when I first read it. I didn’t get why Colt did what he did in the game. I didn’t get how Kit could surrender after that.
I get it now though. Very much so and as much as I can’t say this was my favourite moment of their story, it did exactly what it should. It was incredibly beautiful, not gonna lie.
I also remember being slightly confused by the kinks and by the BDSM community of this book. I know now why that was; I simply didn’t get it.
Now, after binge reading books about kink and the community, I get it.
And I’m absolutely in love with it.
———
Previous rating: 3.5/5.
I think I enjoyed the first fifty or so percent a lot more than the rest of the book. I loved the idea behind the plot and the characters but I missed the depth a little. It was all kinda superficial and lacked emotions in my opinion.
The plot was fine. Nothing too special about it but it wasn’t boring either.
I didn’t like The Game in this one. The thing is, I don’t think I understand why Colt pushed Kit so much. It didn’t seem to have anything to do with Kit’s past or the development of his character. Maybe that’s just me and I just don’t get it but yeah, can’t say I enjoyed The Game.
The book was nice though, except for a few parts that seemed random in the whole picture of things.

I get it now though. Very much so and as much as I can’t say this was my favourite moment of their story, it did exactly what it should. It was incredibly beautiful, not gonna lie.
“Don’t apologize. This is the whole point, Kit. Let it all go, and we’ll take over from here. You’re our baby. We’ll take care of you.”
I also remember being slightly confused by the kinks and by the BDSM community of this book. I know now why that was; I simply didn’t get it.
“Reese saw me, and I waved shyly. Even though he offered me one of his smirky smirks, there was something soft in his gaze. This was their lifestyle. Our lifestyle, but…their life. They put so much time and effort into these events. As did my Daddies. It was humbling and wonderful to be able to be a part of their community.”
Now, after binge reading books about kink and the community, I get it.
And I’m absolutely in love with it.

Previous rating: 3.5/5.
I think I enjoyed the first fifty or so percent a lot more than the rest of the book. I loved the idea behind the plot and the characters but I missed the depth a little. It was all kinda superficial and lacked emotions in my opinion.
The plot was fine. Nothing too special about it but it wasn’t boring either.
I didn’t like The Game in this one. The thing is, I don’t think I understand why Colt pushed Kit so much. It didn’t seem to have anything to do with Kit’s past or the development of his character. Maybe that’s just me and I just don’t get it but yeah, can’t say I enjoyed The Game.
The book was nice though, except for a few parts that seemed random in the whole picture of things.

I generally quite enjoy Daddy Kink when done well, and I thought the premise of this one was really interesting, but ultimately it just didn't work for me. I had some reservations going into this based on book 1, and a lot of those issues continue to bug me. I really liked both Kit and Lucus, and though they were super sweet together, but honestly, I just didn't like Colt at all, which made it hard to enjoy the poly relationship. I find arrogance a complete turn-off, and all his "charm" just seemed like him being a cocky dick. Plus, he didn't really seem at all like a Daddy Dom to me, just a regular Sadist. Which is fine, and I can enjoy that too, but the author kept telling us he was a Daddy and I didn't get any of the actually Daddy aspects from him.
Then we got to the "games" part about 80% in (which is where, from reviews, a lot of readers were lost) and I agree that it just didn't work. It felt like wayyy too intense of a game wayyy too soon in the relationship, and with not *nearly* enough kink negotiation beforehand, which made me feel really uncomfortable. I have no problems with rape fantasy type stuff when properly negotiated, and I didn't feel like we got that here. Colt was just arbitraryily making decisions and changing the rules, and yes, I get he's a Dom, but it felt like he was way overstepping into unhealthy territory.
A smaller issue, but I also felt the author leaned a little too hard into Kit's mental regression in the writing. Which, I get why they did that, it was clearly a purposeful choice, but it really felt a little too much for me, personally.

So like I read this when I was firstly drunk and then violently hungover but I think it was good? I honestly could have used more kinky scenes but talking about our thoughts and feelings is cool too and the primal play scene could have been handled better in my opinion but Kit was cute if not a little too head in the clouds for my taste but Colt and Lucas worked well with him and created a nice cute little balanced thruple. At least I think so…tequila will do that you
