Bamboozled and lured to the big city, who will offer Steven a plumbing job that he’ll love?

Steven has and it’s not a good feeling. After escaping a small town where he doesn’t fit in, Steven’s luck turns around when he sits next into a mature and magnetic, plumbing company owner. Sparks soon fly between the Little and his new boss, Joe.

Showing up in several Dr. Richards’ Littles novels, the two plumbers have gained the attention of readers who have begged for their story. Who knew that a chance encounter could lead to an instant partnership that would be so sweet and burn so hot?

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.

Steven has trained as a plumber and needs to escape his small town as he does not fit in, but is bamboozled and so sits in a cafe to rest and eat before working out what to do next. His luck improves when he sits down next to Joe who owns a plumbing company and is looking for someone to help him. Sparks fly between them.

I liked this short story about how Joe and Steven met and how they became Daddy and Little. I loved that they both knew that they belonged together even if Steven found it hard to become Little and let Joe take full care of him. Easy to read and understand. Contains MM mature content of a BDSM DDLB nature.

What an amazing story, so much fun to get to read how Steven and Joe met. After Steven had been bamboozled into thinking he had a job and didn't, he was contemplating what he was going to do next, when the most wonderful thing happened, he met Joe, and began a journey into love affair that will last a life time. Pepper North has done it again! A new favorite for me just love that a loving Daddy found his Little boy.

Steven uprooted his life to a small town with the promise of a plumbing job. When he gets there he discovers there is no job. He goes to a diner to soothe his panic with a decent meal. There, he meets Joe who happens to own a plumbing business and offers him a job. Joe shows Steven what it means to be a Little.

Steven Left Home For A Job Opportunity

There was no opportunity with that job, but there was an opportunity at the lunch counter. It was his lucky day after all. For at the counter was Joe and he was looking for an assistant and a Little. Guess who filled the bill? You'll have to read to see how this plays out.

So sweet

As usual with Pepper's stories, Steven and his Daddy are wonderful together. Joe is very patient with his Little who is new to the lifestyle.
As a sidenote, I would have liked to get more detail about Steven's life in his hometown and more about why he felt compelled to leave.

This is a sweet story. Steven is a lost little who meets his daddy just when he needs someone. It was so good reading Steven’s story. He has shown up in several stories as a secondary character so I was excited to see him get a story too.

This is a Good Read but not for everyone. It is part of the continuing series for Dr. Richard's Little. Many of the characters are in several of the stories. This way you see different sides of them.

Steven has suffered a great disappointed but he meets Joe at the diner and the timing seems to be perfect. Joe can offer Steven all the things he needs. He doesn't expect Steven to be weak or to not do the work he is good at. This was a sweet story and another great addition to the series.

Great Read

Steven comes to town thinking he's got his dream job only to realize that the job isn't really a job as he's in the dinner he meets Joe who has a job for him ( they work really well together), plus he's the Little, Joe's been looking for.

I like how Steven met Joe by accident at a lunch counter. Each book has a different tale to tell, but they all make you happy. To me that is the purpose to reading all these Little books. Enjoy

Another great story from Pepper North. Each story has a unique way that the Littles find their own Daddies or Mommies
