Could two guard dogs play matchmaker between an older man and a young male nurse?

Walking home from the hospital past the ornate gates of the Burmingham estate, ICU nurse Brad always stopped to talk to the ferocious guard dogs. He’d been trying to make friends with the German shepherds for months.

Thorston Burmingham doesn’t know what to make of the young man in scrubs. Drawn to the caring nurse, the wealthy reclusive man soon pursues Brad with single-minded determination. When Thorston forces Brad to admit his interest in living as a Little, Brad quickly learns that the strict man could be the Daddy that he has dreamed of for years.

Okay, I'll admit it - I was darn curious. Turned out to be an interesting story and strangely addictive.

Well, that was... Interesting. A bit icky. Different. Informative.

A wide open mind it's definitely needed to read this short story, there's Age play, Daddy/boy kink, medical kink , 24/7 little life style , ABDL, Power exchange.

It is a good read but I doubt I will read more books from this series, after this tale . I like stories with a bit more of romance and emotional connection before getting deep into the kink .

I have many conflicting emotions about this book. I was exited to read about it but it was also alarming.

Thorston was very very strict to the point I was taken aback. I wish he had given Brad more time to get used to his strict parenting before he started spanking him so early on.

Also, he had no safe word!!!!!!!! Brad had no safe word ever!!! It was never discussed!! I get that some CG and Littles have agreements where they won’t use safe word so they can have a more intense power exchange but there was no explicit discussion about it. It left me feeling scared. It felt like the beginning of an abusive D/s relationship.

Also, the constant enemas everywhere was so odd. Do all the littles have constipation? Is it cause all they eat is sugar and refused to eat their vegetables? I’m confused.

I think it’s just the author’s kink because it seemed overboard. I get Brad had issues with his bowl movements but it seemed like most little at Dr. Richard’s office had some sort of medical kink scene.

In all honesty Dr. Richard seems a little bit suspect, the things he said sounded very cult like to me. And the fact that most caregivers wanted their littles to get waxed so they can shed their adult pubic hair?

I guess the Littles agreed but I’m not sure at this point because Brad didn’t explicitly agreed to anything. We just saw he had a sexual reaction to it once and so Thorston decided he would get it done in the future.

So much was odd about this book but it wasn’t bad per say. It was just different and the third person POV didn’t help in making me comfortable with the caregivers treatment of their littles. It made it all feel very cult like.

I wish we had a dual first person POV so we can see how Brad and Thorston were reacting to their new life together. Especially, how Brad was dealing with his very strict daddy.

Any whose, an interesting read but I won’t be reading any others. That third person POV killed me 😔

Ich dachte, dass vielleicht eine m/m Variante aus der Reihe besser wäre, aber nein. Es war zwar nicht ganz so merkwürdig wie der erste Band der Reihe, aber trotzdem nicht mein Ding. Über weite Teile des Ebooks dachte ich, dass man es dieses mal doch mit einem Age Play zu tun hat, dass sich nicht auf das ganze Leben bezieht, also keinen kompletten Lebenstilwechsel beinhaltet. Leider irrte ich mich. Brad arbeitet in einem Krankenhaus und übernimmt da Verantwortung für Patienten und arbeitet lange Schichten. Anfangs geht er auch noch zur Arbeit und verbringt dann seine Freizeit nur mit Thorston und lebt seinen ausgefallen Geschmack in Sachen Liebesleben aus. Das AgePlay ging mir auch hier wieder viel zu weit und ich kann es einfach nicht nachvollziehen, dass sie wirklich Leute, die sonst ein 'normalen' unabhängiges Leben führen, so komplett umwälzen und alles aufgeben. Wirklich alles, selbst ihre Körperhygiene. Alles einem anderen Menschen übertragen. Das ist mir ein Rätsel. Wenigstens fand ich hier aber die reinen Sexszenen nicht so merkwürdigen wie die aus dem ersten Band. Aber wirklich erotisch war das nun auch nicht und somit war das auch das letzte Ebook was ich aus der Reihe gelesen habe.

Daddies Have Little Boys Too

I enjoyed seeing another side of the Little's world and it was truly something to behold. Brad found himself a very Strict Daddy but you can tell he cares for him very much. Love how even though they both work really hard they find time for each other. There will be misunderstandings and you might find your own self crying once or twice and wanting to hug Brad.

The one issue that I did have with this story and why I didn't give it 5 stars was a little inconsistency with another one of the Littles. I understand you talk about littles we technically haven't met yet..But Brad was with Thorston before Anne and Jake were together and in this book it was made to seem that Brad was meeting them for the first time..But Brad and Jake connected while Jake was in the hospital in his book. Was the only thing that bugged me about this story.

This writer writes the best "little" stories I have ever read

Love everyone of this writer's books I've had the pleasure to read. This series is absolutely wonderful and refreshing. I've read quite a few ageplay books and I rarely give a reading higher than 2 or 3 stars, but every book I've come across from this author has won 5 stars. Well earned as too. The stories are within the realm of being believable and the littles aren't constantly being portrayed as insufferable people needing a heavy hand or constant ridiculous discipline or worse victims fallen in forced situation where they're subjected to extreme regimes to break them the rebuilt to be perfect subservient littles. These books by this author are a pleasure to read which I will treasure.

ICU nurse Brad walked home after work past the gates of the Burmingham estate and used to stop and talk to the guard dogs. Thorston Burmingham doesn't quite know what to make of the caring young man who stops outside the gates of his estate but he soon starts to pursue Brad with single-minded determination. Brad quickly learns that the strict man could be the Daddy that he has dreamed of for years.

I quite liked this story in which the older man and younger man who on the face of it appeared to be too different but actually fit together quite well. I liked the way that they tried to fit into each other's working lives and that it was possible. Easy to read and understand. Contains MM BDSM DDLB relationship.

Bradley Finds His Daddy

Bradley is an ICU nurse at a local hospital. He walks past Thorston's mansion on his way to work. They meet when Bradley is talking to Thorston's guard dogs and both men are attracted to each other. Thorston takes a chance on Bradley being attracted to him and interested in being his Little boy. I read this book through KU. I found this book to not be at the same level as Jake's or Tony's books. Maybe because of how long it took for these men to fully accept each other.

I highly recommend this sweet sexy interesting story.
I love Ms North's work. I have a serious addiction to her writing and buy her books as a treat. And reading this book today was a treat. I loved the interaction between Thorston and Brad. They need eachother and are sweet together. I love the sweet sexy scenes. Male love is so hot and spicy. I highly recommend this well written and described age-play story.

Brad was aware of his little side before he met Thorston. This made the story really interesting. The sparks between the men flew from their first meeting. It is a story about the journey to living the reality they had always dreamed about.

Another great read from Pepper North. When I I'm stressed I read a book from Pepper North,it helps me to think that I am being taken care of and not the caregiver.The stories bring down my stress level at least for a little while.

Daddy and his little boy

Brad is a successful nurse and wants to find his daddy. He meets Thorston who wants to take complete care of him, including diapers and enemas. Just like the other books in this series, this has in depth and detailed age play.

Wow

So happy that this growing group of Littles has a new little boy to add to the mix. This little and big are a great addition.

This is not well written. It's pretty short but it felt like I was reading it for days upon days. Editing is pretty off, so many problematic attitudes (although I did like the accepting attitudes about the lifestyle), and just weird ways of referring to the characters. I'm not entirely sure why I bothered finishing it.
I'm going to give this author one more try, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to work out.

Brad always walks to work and talks to the dogs at the big mansion, one day he meets Thorston the owner and as they say that's all it took.

Great story

Brad is just too cute. I really enjoyed this story. The timeline seems a little off from some of the other stories but still a great read.

I really enjoyed this story, loved the fact that it showcased a male nurse and how hard their life is. It shows that you can get really lost in work and need someone to help take care of you! You definitely got that in this story.

I really like Brad and Thorston’s characters but I didn’t like that they couldn’t commit to each other a lot sooner than the last two chapters. Wasn’t sure if it was going to be a hea!

I’ve enjoyed the other ABDL books I’ve read. This one was OK. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either. The story was just okay but, I wasn’t fond of the fact that it seemed like the “Daddy” was kind of pushing the “little” into doing/trying things. Yes, Brad (little) had agreed to the relationship but, Thorston (Daddy) made all the decisions and Brad didn’t have a say in anything.

The doctor’s exam was not what I was expecting. I haven’t read the other books in the series but I did like reading about all the other littles and their Mommies/Daddies.

There were several grammatical errors which were a bit irksome.

*****
POV... third person

Standalone or series... book 6 in series but can be read as a standalone

Did it give me a hangover... no

Would I recommend it... maybe

Would I read it again... maybe
