Love Language #2
Love Lessons
“Come here,” Dustin repeated, his dark eyes serious.
Landon put his hands on his hips and stood his ground. “Make me.”
He knew he was acting like a petulant teenager, but this was Dustin. And with Dustin, he felt safe.
Please, he thought, please, please make me.
Landon doesn’t need anyone. So he’s confident that when he offers to train a nervous, sexy Dom, nothing will come of it.
But Dustin has some things to teach him, too. Because Dustin uses sign language and asks him questions that no one else bothers to ask. Because Dustin wants him, no matter how he presents his gender. Because when Landon rebels, Dustin’s there to keep him in line. And when Dustin makes him obey, it feels real.
Real enough to call Dustin his Daddy.
But these are just lessons, right?
Love Lessons has a nervous new Dom, a confident and genderfluid sub who offers to train him, age play with a middle, a bit of angst, and plenty of sign language. Love Lessons and Love Limits share intertwined characters and timelines, and should be read together.
This expanded edition features a new cover and over 15,000 new words including multiple new and enhanced scenes throughout the book.

About the author
Reese Morrison
29 books325 followersReese Morrison lives in Philadelphia with their partner, two precocious children, and intermittent housemates, guests, and homeless, queer teens. Their hobbies are volunteering on too many boards, planting gardens that they forget to water half-way through the summer, making up songs for their kids, and putting off writing their dissertation.
Reese and their partner both identify as genderqueer and are part of a vibrant community of queer and trans folks. They started writing because they were dissatisfied with the lack of trans and genderqueer characters in what they were reading and finally decided to do something about it. Many, but not all, of their books are kinky (for a whole range of kinks...) and they feel that it's important to represent a range of backgrounds, dis/abilities, gender presentations/ identities, and body types in their writing.

Dustin es nuevo en la comunidad BDSM, quiere saber como ser un Dom y darle a su pareja todo lo que desee, pero no sabe por donde comenzar. Asi que un dia (por presion de su amigo Zhong) va un brunch donde conoce a este hombre que lo atrae sin mas, y quien se ofrece a darle "lecciones". Pero las lecciones son un poco mas personales de lo que espera, y comienza a sentir que quizas no quiere solo lecciones, sino que tambien quiere una relacion completa con el, sera que puede ser suficiente?
Landon ha sido siempre el organizador, profesor y ayudante en casi todas las reuniones de su club BDSM Escape. Asi que cuando conoce a un nuevo Dom quien quiere aprender, enseguida se ofrece a darle lecciones. Pero las lecciones se comienzan a sentir mas para el de lo que espera, y el miedo al abandono, mas el miedo a descubrir una nueva parte de el, lo tienen huyendo. Sera capaz de afrontar una nueva relacion? Sera capaz de darle a Dustin su verdadera sumision?
El libro resulta muy diferente al anterior, ahora es una pareja donde ambos son sordos, pero el Dom es nuevo y temeroso de lo que puede o no puede hacer, y el sub es temeroso de lo que puede o no descubrir de si mismo. En cuanto a la trama, es bastante sencilla, los personajes prometian muchisimo, pero resultaron demasiado sosos, aburridos y planos. Queria amarlos, por su fuerza, sus retos, su discapacidad, pero solo me aburrieron al extremo.
No digo que no sean buenas lecturas, y que el autor no este mostrando todo un grupo de personajes de generos diversos que pueden resultar interesante, pero la forma como lo relata es tan plana, que los personajes no brillan, no destacan y eso aunado con lo sencilla de la trama, me hizo la lectura extremadamente aburrida.
En fin, para terminar, no voy a terminar la serie, porque ya vi que el proximo libro es de los mejores amigos de estos, y se perfila igual de plana, y el ultimo no es mas que una poly-relacion entre los cuatro, cosa que se veia venir desde el comienzo. Asi que para mi, aqui termina la lectura de esta serie.

Dustin is somewhat traumatized, as a dominant with APD (Auditory processing disorder) he was in a sort of scene with his boyfriend and it went so wrong. He can’t even imagine having ever any kind of commitment or relationship.
His friend Zhong advises him to go to a munche, where like-minded people eat and drink and can talk about their BDSM kinks, there are even some Deaf participants. Maybe he’ll find there what he’s missing and get some education.
Landon is teaching ASL at school, as a Deaf teacher he’s running a special ASL program.
He is also the organizer of the munche, so there’s where Dustin meets Landon.
Dustin is a bit reserved by all the new environments, and Landon seems a big flirt. Dustin is instantly smitten by the pale blond gorgeous Landon who is far out of his league.
Landon wants to be close to Dustin so he offers to educate Dustin to his Dom side.
For both was this enlightened. Dustin is a natural and very intense, Landon is in awe.
Dustin finds his Dom demeanor after watching very close Landon’s body language.
At the next munche he can’t find Landon, instead there sits a graceful pale blond woman, Lena.
As confident they both may show, at first sight, they are vulnerable, guarded, protecting their heart. Because behind the walls, there is fear, fear for not being wanted, really wanted, and never getting what you craved.
God did I love the unexpected turns!!
Dustin is even more than Landon could ask for, Dustin shows to be a Daddy! Oh boy!
Even though communication in a relationship is important the lack of could ruining everything.
What would life be without dear friends, read and meet!!
Is was a wide, beautifully written story, with so much honesty, doubts, sensuality. I loved the way everything was constantly under examination and construction, with a chance to improve. From every angle, we get a look into their beautiful minds and behavior. Their communication was with ASL, all interesting and all felt very natural.
It wasn’t a simple journey for them but the reward was immense.
When you look at the first page and then the last, they’ve been through huge progress.
After all the praise there is of course also something to improve, but it’s something personal, the romance got a bit overruled by the mountain of learning moments, so yes I missed some romance, there was romance, for me and the balance there could be more.
I loved Dustin, Landon, Lena, Danger, Zhong, and Ash dearly.
Yes, this is how I love my books, thoroughly developed, focus on everything from every angle, intense, sensual, honest, with the most beautiful diverse personalities. Ghawd *hearts in eyes*.
LOL I really had in mind to write a short review, I failed. There is so much to tell.

DNF!! Was really really bored in the beginning to a certain point and then from a certain point on word decided nope nope nope nope, just NOT for me!!
* Decently written in the beginning, I didn’t feel any chemistry, and everything read very flat and one dimensional, and read more like a clinical manual than anything else!!
********************
I am VERY VERY on the fence with this one, I’m VERY wary, I gotta say, as some of the elements really don’t fall under what I like to read in M/M at all (it’s just NOT for me) - because BIG reasons - but I’m keeping an open mind and am willing to try with this one :-)!! We shall see!!
Also I think it’s REALLY AWESOME that this author is writing about the Deaf community and I’m very very intrigued by this part of the storyline; I think that part of it is fantastic!! I don’t know much about the Deaf community as a whole but I have a sense that this author will do the storyline justice with grace :-)!!
Whenever I see it an M/M book with a Deaf MC I am very very intrigued to read the story; it’s definitely something I support!!
The author capitalizes the word “Deaf”, so I will too!

Full disclosure: I was the developmental editor for this book.
I loved so many things about Love Lessons: the lovely writing, the diverse representation of the queer community, the tenderness between the main characters, and the scorching hot sex scenes.
Landon, the gender fluid character, is three-dimensional and endearing even before he finds Dustin, a kind and serious man who is still exploring his Dom side. I loved how Morrison fleshed out Landon's gender fluidity with realistic and sensitive complexity.
Zhong, the asexual character, is a favorite for me. Equal parts analytical and cuddly, he shares a deep friendship with Dustin that warmed my heart.
Ash, the nonbinary character, is both strong and sensitive. I loved how Morrison represented a nonbinary character and a gender fluid character side-by-side, to show the difference. Sometimes people lump the indentities together, and they are different.
Along with all of the relaitonship dynamics, there's hot D/s, some emotional age play, and so much character growth. This is the kind of book that will stay with you long after its over. I absolutely loved it.

I'm really enjoying this series! Landon/Lena and Dustin we're so good about paying attention to the other's needs, and I really enjoyed the exploration of Landon/Lena's genderfluidity. The experienced sub and new baby dom trope is turning out to be a favortie, and I also like the theme of both leads figuring out new things about themselves. I learned that ageplay with middles is very fun, and depending on if Lena or Landon were in the space, so many new dynamics and elements.
Off I go continuing with this series, I'm really enjoying this!

I am a sucker for inexperienced Dom and experienced sub. It gets me every time! Landon and Dustin were a good pair and I thoroughly enjoyed how things evolved and how they had to overcome their respective insecurities. It was fascinating to watch Dustin grow into his Daddy self and for Landon to realize that he’s actually into CGL. I also enjoyed the way they figured out how to keep scenes safe, whether through safe words in ASL or other tools. Zhong and Ash’s book is next and then a book for all four of them after that. I’m very intrigued about how it will all evolve!
The story does a lot to call out ableism and oralism related to the Deaf community, which was great. However, it also contains a lot of ableist language around mental health and intellectual disability, with the use of “crazy”, “insane”, and “idiot”.
Characters: Landon/Lena is a 30 year old Deaf queer genderfluid white middle school math and science teacher and Switch (80% submissive). Dustin is a bisexual white programmer and Dom with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD).
Content notes: Deaf MMC, MMC with Auditory Processing Disorder, intimate partner violence (secondary character, , past bad experience with kink, ableism, oralism, internalized kink-shaming, sign for vomiting, past child medical neglect , past infidelity (two of Landon’s exes cheated), past bullying, on page sex (no penetrative sex as Landon doesn’t care for it), D/s, Daddy-middle (age play), power exchange, impact play, sensory play, pain play, bondage, subdrop, orgasm control, edging, violet wand, porn, masturbation, gendered pejoratives, gender essentialist language, ableist language, Harry Potter reference, reference to Landon’s brother being autistic and sister struggling with addiction, reference to chronically ill student who is in the hospital

Reese Morrison is magical. I'm so so happy I tried their books, probably my favorite author discovery since Alexis Hall. The diversity and creativity so tidily organized with realistic and unique characters makes their work S tier and fills me with so much warmth and joy. In overlooking their books you do yourself a disservice. 💗
Lessons features many of the same details as Love Language, but with different characters who will be involved in a longer narrative which is fully developed in Love Limits and Love Unlimited. A character from Language does have a small cameo in this book, but there's not a strong narrative connection. To be clear, Language can be a standalone, but Lessons, Limits and Unlimited should be read in order.

I haven't read the first book yet in this series, but didn't feel lost. We have our D/s switch Landon/Lena who is a deaf teacher struggling after he finds out that the deaf program is being disbanded. We have Dustin who is a "baby" Dom who has auditory processing disorder, meaning his brain doesn't always process what he is hearing. He also had a bad experience with his ex because he couldn't hear what he was saying. These two have some misunderstandings and really needed to talk to each other. If you want something & you are not getting it, then you should speak to your partner & tell them. I did love watching these two finally figure out what was missing in their lives and grow to love each other. I love Zhong & Ash & can't wait for their story.

Discovering desires
I read the expanded edition of Love Lessons in February 2021 (after reading the original in September of 2020). The new edition adds more scenes and expands on the characters. I loved reading it even more the 2nd time around! These characters just touched my soul. <3
This was the 2nd book in the Love Language Series and it was just as intense and beautiful as the first one was. This story revolves around Dustin, a new Dom, and Landon/Lena, a gender fluid D/s switch who offers to help train him. I loved how both of them kept discovering new things about themselves as they navigated Dustin's style of care. Landon's journey was so emotional as he learned what it was that he really has been struggling to find throughout his BDSM experience. Witnessing his "aha" moments was so exhilarating! Dustin was so sensitive to Landon but didn't have the understanding of who his inner Dom was. I loved seeing him learn and trust his instincts to provide what his sub needed, when they needed it. The author did a great job with showing how hearing impaired people have to adapt their form of consent so that communication is clear to everyone involved. I seriously look forward to reading more from this author.

What a wonderful book! I loved it so much! It was so diverse and I felt like I learned a lot.
I’ve never read about a character like Landon, we need more characters like him.
Another thing I loved was that Dustin, the Dom, was inexperienced and the sub was teaching him. Usually it’s the other way around. It was very very interesting to read and really well written.
EDIT:
I read the extended version and fell in love with this book even more. It was amazing to spend more time with these wonderful characters and get to know them better. They’re all amazing people, flawed but still amazing and it was so satisfying to see them learn and grow and discover themselves.
I received a free copy of this book through Gay Romance Reviews and this is my honest review.

Preparing for book 4 means I had to do a reread. Right?
-
Another hit from Morrison.
I just love reading about young Dom who is just learning the ropes and finding themselves. I felt completely immersed in Dustin's experience and really felt for him and his worries. Watching him grow into his role with Landon together was beautiful. And Landon - such an interesting, well-written character. His struggles were just as real, from his job as a teacher for Deaf students to suddenly discovering a new kink to past relationship problems. It was a very good combination.
The building of their new relationship is deep and intense and I could barely pause in between, I just had to continue.

DNF @ 41%.
40% into a book, I would expect to have some kind of feeling toward a book, but all I'm feeling is ennui.
There's too much being told, the characters are flat, and nothing is really happening plot-wise in the first 130 pages that couldn't have happened in far less pages.
I do feel like maybe I should have taken the author's disclaimer more to heart that this story and the 3rd book are companions to each other, and maybe I would feel more for the characters if I read both, but the blurb doesn't interest me and this book doesn't interest me enough to give it a chance.

Love Lessons is the second book in the Love Language series by Reese Morrison. This was my first book by this author and I really liked it. This book was also a first for me with a genderfluid character. I loved Landon and Lena. I loved Dustin. I loved them together.
This book is soooo good. I really recommend it.

When this book first came out, I thought it was amazing and perfect and so well done. Who knew it could get better.
With over 11,000 new words and additional sense, this almost feels like a new book. It's still a beautiful love story and one that will stick with me for a while, I can see where the improvements were made.
I loved the smut. Now there's more and it's kinkier believe it or not. Dustin has more daddiesness in him and Landon's middle side is explored more indethly. I remember loving the realness and complexities of the characters. If at all possible, the relationships and friendships feel more fleshed out.
This feels like the director's cut of a movie I already love and in many ways it is. If you've already read this book. I highly suggest picking it up again. This is great book turned unforgettable.

March 1, 2024I really really tried but I just couldn’t get into this book. Don’t get me wrong it’s amazingly written and I like the story and the characters were nice as well but I just didn’t felt anything.
i think I wasn’t really in the right mood for this one so I actually don’t wanna rate it. I might re-read it at some later point🖤

Reese Morrison's Love Lessons, the second book in the Love series, is fabulous.
As in Love Language, the author packs a punch with the complexity of everything tackled in this book. It deals with deafness, ASL, gender-fluidity, BDSM, age play, asexuality, and more. Any of these aspects would have made an interesting read on their own. But, weaving them all together is extraordinary.
It's impressive the way that the author handles Landon, who's a multi-layered character. He can't hear, he's gender fluid, desperately needs age play, and has a lot to learn. I adore the way Landon/Nina switches ages and gender so easily. But even better, is the way that Dustin recognizes the change instantly.
And in a fascinating move, Dustin has an auditory processing disorder, which amps up the importance of ALS and communication in this amazing read.
This story includes a kink club and plenty of kink, including sensory depravation. But, seriously, imagine the issues these two men face with their hearing problems during DBSM, and everything is increased tenfold.
Landon is so damn confident in his sexuality, but he's also unaware of what he wants sexually. With Dustin's help, Landon's able to figure out what works for him, as the two struggle to figure out what works for them together.
Poor Dustin is so damn weighed down by his past. He struggles to trust himself, as well as trusting a sub. It's a complex issue and it's beautiful in the way it's handled.
This is a story of facing fears and taking chances. It includes sexual exploration and relationship struggles. They are so close, but struggle to make things work.
In addition to everything else that is tackled in this book, the author also adds in an emotional issue with Landon teaching deaf students. It's a terrific storyline on it's own, and adds tremendously to this tale.
Overall, Love Lessons is a fantastic read. Definitely check it out when you're looking for a BDSM read with a complex storyline and even complex characters.
As in Love Language, the author packs a punch with the complexity of everything tackled in this book. It deals with deafness, ASL, gender-fluidity, BDSM, age play, asexuality, and more. Any of these aspects would have made an interesting read on their own. But, weaving them all together is extraordinary.
It's impressive the way that the author handles Landon, who's a multi-layered character. He can't hear, he's gender fluid, desperately needs age play, and has a lot to learn. I adore the way Landon/Nina switches ages and gender so easily. But even better, is the way that Dustin recognizes the change instantly.
And in a fascinating move, Dustin has an auditory processing disorder, which amps up the importance of ALS and communication in this amazing read.
This story includes a kink club and plenty of kink, including sensory depravation. But, seriously, imagine the issues these two men face with their hearing problems during DBSM, and everything is increased tenfold.
Landon is so damn confident in his sexuality, but he's also unaware of what he wants sexually. With Dustin's help, Landon's able to figure out what works for him, as the two struggle to figure out what works for them together.

This book was so much better then the first one. The first - Love Langugage - was good too and I loved that, but this. Oh god, THIS! This was just everything.
The best things about this book and the things I love the most are the perfectly written and representated ASL, the real-like and HOT BDSM scenes, the caring and cute Daddy dom, and the sensual romance scenes.
Let me tell you, this book was SO sensual, so romantic and so real. And it hasn't got any penetrative sex! I still can't wrap my head around this fact, I still can't decide that this book needs penetrative sex or not.
Dustin was so perfect and it was so good to see him find himself in the bdsm scene and realise that he is a Daddy. And Landon as a Middle - god he was so cute. And I liked the chapters when he was Lena. It was difficult for me for the first time, becasue i'm still new in reading trans/gender fluid books - so it was hard to connect Landon/Lena he/she chapters. The she/her scenes sometimes pulled me from the story because I couldn't imagine it while my brain had known that i'm reading m/m, but still I see m/f. It's my problem only, but at the end of the book it was more and more easier for me to connect the dots.
So I really loved this book. It was so so romantic and so sensual. HOT as hell. With only just the simpliest of touches, and the little things. And all the cuddles!It was awesome. And the ASL is still amazing. The author did an amazing job at writing down sign-language.
Loved, loved reading it. And I hihgly recommend it if you want something unique, and the cutest and hottest romance.

I am so glad I found a new KU author. I've been trying to figure out why The 2020 Shitshow has had such a profound effect on my reading habits/average ratings (I mean...YIKES), and this random find of a series at the intersection of Daddy doms and Deaf culture helped me figure it out.
I need my authors and/or characters to have some awareness about how their words and actions are affecting the world around them. I need them to put just a little effort into ... being better. More thoughtful. In any single way. Just...think. Grow. Be a good person. (Or use the not good people to effect. Like, have a point to their badness. Not just "aren't assholes sexy?" ... Not in my experience!!)
It absolutely does not have to be profound -- Seriously. This series is not profound. They're sweet, sexy romances with characters who happen to be kinky -- I just can't brush off the ignorant "little" things anymore by assuming there were no ill intentions. Neutral intentions are no longer good enough. I would like good intentions, and the effort to see them through, please. (I'm literally defining Good Intentions as Human Beings Should Be Treated with Respect, so...not really asking that much!)
I'm not sure why this series in particular prompted these realizations, except that you don't have to read further than the Author's Notes to see they qualify as "thoughtful." And it's just such a relief, after months of knocking author after author off my TBR completely, to find one who makes me do the opposite.
I've thoroughly enjoyed both of these books and can't wait for No. 3 (with an asexual Daddy!!!). And I may very well read their entire backlist in the meantime.

This is an amazing story-- hands down one of the best romances I've read! Both of the main characters grow and learn about themselves and each other throughout the book, giving the story incredible emotional depth and realism.
Furthermore, the representation in this book was absolutely spectacular. From a genderfluid main character to an asexual best friend to sign language as the main form of communication-- this book was a breath of fresh air. All of these subjects were treated with care, and came across as authentic and heartwarming. I was particularly impressed by the way the author didn't just use italics to denote signing, but also integrated the physical component of the language into every scene. The way in which particular signs were made and the subtle body language cues that affected interpretation were woven seamlessly into the story.
As someone who enjoys queer BDSM romances, this was perfect for me. But especially given the didactic setup (Landon is teaching Dustin how to be a Dom), there's a lot of instructional scenes that make it perfect for people new to BDSM romances as well. If you've been curious about the subgenre, I strongly recommend trying this on for size-- it's a great place to start.
I loved the first book in this series, and I was stunned that the author managed to outdo themself in this sequel.
This book is a beautiful tale with a happy ending, and I am so glad to have shared in Dustin and Landon's story.

AHHH IT'S JUST SO GOOD
I am in love with this series. So much. While I really liked both Dustin and Landon/Lena, Zhong is my favorite and I'm not even sorry. He's a side character in this but his presence is necessary and essential and the asexual best friend and kinky af best friend is the trope I didn't know I needed. I'm fascinated by sex and kink the same way as Zhong and I adored his and Dustin's conversations about it.
Dustin is an anxious soft cinnamon roll Dom who is just learning about himself and what he likes. It's complicated and messy and confusing and felt very real. Landon/Lena is a switch, but mostly submissive. He is genderfluid and goes by Landon some days and Lena other days. Lena is Deaf and Dustin has an auditory processing disorder.
Their relationship starts as kink lessons and slowly, SLOWLY, turns into each if them questioning if they could have the other. You kinda want to scream at them to just fucking talk, but also know it's scary af to do that when so much is at stake. Anyway, CW for age play, it's middle age but still that's definitely a trigger and limit for some people.

To see more reviews check out MI Book Reviews.
I got an ARC from the author.
The only thing I knew about this author is they have a book with tentacles on the cover. That was enough for me to download that book and sign up to get ARCs. I am all about the fun and exciting (and weird) aspects of queer romance. Sign me up.
Instead of tentacles, I was given a book that focuses on kink, which HELL YES. Not complaining at all. I LOVED this book. I have a lot more positives than negatives to report in this book. So let’s start with the negatives:
There were no condoms used for oral sex. Oral sex is still a risky sexual activity. With the way that one of the MCs taught kink and was so wonderful about consent, I would think that condoms wouldn’t have been an issue.
I am REALLY not into any form of sexualized age play, or age play at all (hard limit due to trauma. But I will totally color and hang out with littles at munches, they are the fun ones to sit with). So if this is a hard limit for you too, know it is in this story. However, it is middle play. The age regressed to is a sullen teenager and there is no force, just verbal commands for sexual contact as rewards, never punishments. Most of the time the age play is not happening during sexual activity, but there are physical signs of arousal mentioned during those scenes. The exact age of the middle was never mentioned. I am assuming around 15-16 (though one character compares behavior to 8th graders, which is around 13-14), which in some states and countries is the age of consent. So it did not trigger any of my stuff which was nice. I got to see age play and I was comfortable during it all, so this is 50/50 for me.
Two things. That is literally it. Well, really four things, but the third and fourth are my issue with 99% of romance novels so I am not going to hold it against Morrison. Plus Morrison addressed the jealousy issue a little bit. Not in a way that I was particularly happy with, but it was still addressed more than any other romance novel seems to handle it.
Now on to the good:
AMAB NON BINARY MAIN CHARACTER AHHHHHHHH. I mean…There is a character that was assigned male at birth, but has days where she is a woman and some days where he is a man. Transphobia and sexism are NOT part of this story. The trans person is not sexually assaulted or abused. The character is also wonderful in so many ways. Like this is a yes for me. I have no idea if this is great representation or not, as I am binary, but I loved how full the character was and what their job was. I will never treat a character’s gender as a spoiler when the story is not a coming of age. Fight me. I use the pronouns that the character uses in the scenes I am describing, just as the character does.
The Dom was inexperienced. I have such a soft spot for new Doms. They haven’t learned terrible behaviors yet. I only like them when they are’t a “TRUE Dom”, if you understand, you understand this deeply. The Dom is not a TRUE Dom. He is very much still finding himself. He is a soft Dom and I adore him. He is so caring and wonderful. There were a few actions I wasn’t happy with, but they were so minor in the grand scheme of the story (one I missed and only really noticed when the characters talked about it later). Most of the mistakes and issues I had, were addressed and the Dom grew from them. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IN A BDSM ROMANCE AHHH.
There was more happening in the lives of the characters than just the scenes. They each had their own lives outside of things. One was a teacher and had family he was close with. The other was trying to support an asexual friend coming to terms with their romantic identity.
There was a male ace character! It is so rare to see an ace character, it feels even more rare to see a male ace character. While he was not ace in the same way I am, I mostly liked him. I am just really put off by the first scene or two with him. It was assumed he wasn’t into sex or kinky, but aces can be (hello, right here). Aces aren’t necessarily aro. Most aces I know aren’t aro. Being aro is not about the level or romance you want, but about romantic attraction. I am aro, but I have made partners cry with the romantic things I have done (like getting the band that played our song to serenade them on our anniversary without the date knowing what was happening). So like 50/50 on the ace discussions. It felt a little too basic and ace 101, but not quite right. I am still counting it as a win, because the character was loved and listened to. Still counting it as a win, because he were still cuddled and had his needs met. I just wish people would stop assuming all aces are obsessed with cuddles or sex repulsed (this character was not sex repulsed, had more of a fascination with the idea which was refreshing, this is just a general note).
The miscommunications were addressed and weren’t just ridiculous. They made a lot of sense in context. Romance novels rely on miscommunications so often that they are annoying and often completely out of context. Morrison makes it make perfect sense. One character will say X and then X is what they mean and why Y happens. Then the characters go “huh, maybe we should have talked about this instead of assuming X meant Q”.
Both the sub and the Dom grew in the relationship. It is so rare that there is character development like this in a romance, especially BDSM romance. BDSM romances that I have read have relied so heavily on sex that the scenes are just boring and don’t serve to help the characters grow. Somehow Morrison was able to get character development into the scenes. There was also not constant penetration or sex. The scenes may have sexual elements, but the scenes weren’t just rough sex.
I was so enthralled by this book. I did not really sleep the night before. I stayed up until 3 AM, but not on purpose. Woke up way too often. I felt like an angry, drunk toddler when I got up in the morning. I was not in the mood for life or anything. I still read this book in one sitting (though a break for lunch that was not my idea). I still loved this book. Imagine what I would think if I came into this book in a good mood. Imagine if age play was my thing and not a hard limit.

Absolute Perfection
It was so interesting how this book turned for me. At the beginning, I felt a low-hum worry that the story would be focused on Dustin practicing kinky play and that being the extent of the dominance and submission. But because I've read other books by this author and trust them, I kept going and, voila, perfection.
I didn't want Dustin and Landon's story to end. It was wonderful. I loved meeting Lena, I loved the intensity of their connection, I loved seeing Dustin blossom into his Daddy-self, I loved Ash, I loved Zhong, I loved the Deaf culture and storyline. I loved this book.
I absolutely cannot wait for the next in this series to come out. This author has become a favorite of mine and I'm loving what I'm soaking up so far.
If you want an excellent Daddy/community/friendship/kink/human book, get a copy.

Insert adorable puppy gif here
I always enjoy Reese Morrison‘a books and this one was no exception. I did get an arc but don’t think that is why I loved it. I was so excited about this book before it had even been written and it lived up to all of my hopes. We have lots of sweetness and adorable cuddling and fun. I can hardly wait for the next book in the series!
My favorite part of the book is a bit of a spoiler in that I loved that Zhong was asexual and didn’t magically become more sexual when he found “the one”. Sometimes books say someone is ace but then they turn out to be more Demi, which is fine I just like it when people are exactly what they say they are.

The relationship between these two was so searingly hot and sweet. The dynamic between Dustin and Landon/Lena was so great. I loved the way that Dustin helped Landon become more secure in what he wanted and vice versa. The way that Dustin grew into himself as a Daddy and overcame his fears was realistic and it made me want to know him as a person. The way that Landon/Lena learned to let people in was remarkable too. Ash and Zhong as side characters were also amazing and I hope that Reese writes a story for them. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a sweet Daddy kink storyline.

An awesome series can’t wait for the next book. Reese’s writing is very realistic, sensitive, understanding of sign language, I felt like I was there with in the pages, humour, some angst, so much depth and emotion. Loveable characters and Dustin and Landon were charismatic I was captivated, intimate sensual scenes.
I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book for my honest opinions of which I’m under no obligation to do so. I definitely recommend this book.
