Always #2

Everything, Always

Rate this book
The boss and his PA, but so much more than an office romance.

Gray Tremaine was looking forward to the challenge of turning his newly acquired business around. What he hadn’t expected was his PA: Atticus Bennett, with his high cheekbones, pale pink nail polish, and the most kissable lip-glossed mouth.
The moment Atticus walked into his office, Gray wanted him. But how could he concentrate when Atticus screamed “boy” to him?

Atticus knew he was in trouble the moment he locked eyes with his new boss. Gray Tremaine was Atticus’s perfect Daddy. But Gray would never be interested in someone like him, too young, too inexperienced, not as sophisticated as Gray. And even if he was, it was never a good idea to mix professional and personal lives.
But all it took was one sentence, and Atticus was his.

This is a gay romance with lots of sweetness, sass, lingerie and lip gloss, as well as some man-on-man action. Suitable for ages 18 and over. Age gap, office romance, low angst/feel good
Everything, Always is the sequel to Anything, Anytime and the second book in the Always series. This book is based in the UK and is written in British English. 75k words

Goodness! I had to force myself to finish this one. I skimmed so much I’m not sure I could write a proper summary. Atticus and Gray were cute but there was really no chemistry and all the daddies in this book treated their boys like actual children, which I wasn’t a fan of. I’m also not sure why Christian was so cruel, what was the point? Felix was super cute though and I liked anytime he was on page. The lingerie and makeup was a treat and the sex was hot. But being in the heads of our two MC’s was boring and their inner dialogue was a bunch of rambling. It was cute for the most part, there was some darker parts, but I don’t see myself rereading.

All kinds of thoughts run through Atticus when he’s looking at his new boss, how to climb him like a tree, or nuzzle, or… no, nope, he has to stop thinking about Gray as Daddy. He’s so far out of his league.

Everything about Atticus screams boy, Gray wants him but he can’t, he’s the new boss, the boy is his PA and a good one, maybe the best.

The attraction to each other is intense. It’s almost impossible to stay away from the other.
Gray wants to be honest with Atticus, he confesses he’s a Daddy and wants Atti to be his boy.
Atti wants nothing more, even with the knowledge he’ll be put aside when Gray is done with him. There are rumors and Atti’s best friend and colleague Christian, who loves to gossip, is spreading the word about how Gray is.
Gray has to convince his boy how serious he is.

The thousand different emotions both men expressed are all awesomely written.
It made it all intense. The sexual energy is sky-high. I love Gray as Daddy and Atti as boy, their dynamic was appealing to watch. Some parts of this story were predictable, like comments or action-reaction, but hey, I didn’t mind, I liked it.
Felix and Warwick from #1 Anything Anytime are widely present and they are going strong.
Atti and Felix develop a wonderful friendship.
I loved the lingerie, the polish, and Atti’s big fantasy!
It was a solidly written story, good structured, focused on both men, the development is slight, it’s all about the Daddy/boy relationship.
Overall an entertaining narrative, a steamy Daddy/boy age-gap, office romance.
Look at that beautiful cover!

FINDING HAPPINESS AT LAST

This is a WONDERFUL story of finding the one meant for you. Grey is part of an alternative lifestyle. He's considered a Daddy. Which means he is dominant, caring, considerate and aware of his partners needs. Atticus is an accomplished young man who has come from nothing. Through hard work and dedication he has worked his way to personal assistant for the owner of his company. Things are a bit drab until Grey buys the company. Grey sees a beautiful, make up wearing, Boy. Some one he wants to get to know better because he triggers Grey's Daddy instincts. This is a MAGNIFICENT Book about what he needs and will do to make that happen. Atticus doesn't make it easy. I loved the discovery the characters learn along the way. I love the interaction they have with Warrick and Felix. This is just an over all great book. I loved it from beginning to end. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!!!

This is a super sweet and emotional age gap, office romance. Gray is Atticus’s new boss and from the moment they meet, the attraction is instant. Their chemistry and desire is so deep you can really feel the longing even as they try and remain professional. Not only is there attraction, but they may have just found exactly what they need in life with one another. Atticus dreams of the perfect Daddy, and Gray sees his perfect boy in Atti. A perfect match and, although Atti almost broke my heart at times, it’s fairly low angst and has a lovely ending.

Hot hot hot! Atticus is adorable and talented and determined, and Gray is sex on a Daddy-shaped stick! I hated everything Christian did to Atticus, but that was the purpose of his character, so...go, him? It was lovely seeing so much of Warwick and Felix here, and I wouldn't have minded more of either the other two couples or more time at the club, but those aren't as central to Gray and Atti's story as the advertising business is. Overall, lovely and sweet and smoking hot!

Great office romance, couldn’t put it down.

One of my favourite tropes is older men, age gap, Daddy/boy and add in some hot office romance between a boss and his sexy ginger PA and you’ve got me. I just fell in love with Gray and young Atticus, a man who’s not afraid to wear make up and sexy lingerie and Atticus wore it well. Gray is an amazing sexy, confident Daddy who just wants what’s best for his boy, Atticus has things from his past that causes him to have low self esteem and lack of confidence. I enjoyed the chemistry between them and the slow burn as they got to know each other. We get to catch up with characters from previous books which is always an added bonus!

Everything, Always is a Daddy/Boy, age gap, office romance, low angst and super steamy story. Atticus Bennett is a PA in an advertising firm and his new boss Gray Tremaine, the first time they meet it’s instant attraction, but both were very professional with each other in the office, you can feel the connection between them and the longing and I want for them to get together. Atti dreams to find the perfect Daddy and Gray see’s in Atti the boy he’s been looking. Atti suffer a difficult childhood and that physically abusive result in low self-esteem problems. He sometimes things Gray is to good to be true and that broke my heart. This story is super steamy and entertaining, I enjoy their journey and their HEA! I highly recommend this book!

Loved Atticus and Gray's story.
When Grey took over the company Atticus was his PA. With his last boss Atticus was just there so his boss could make fun of him. But Grey was taken with him the moment he met him.
Atticus has wanted a daddy and one look at Grey and he saw the daddy of his dreams,
Grey has spent all his time working and going to the club for scenes, but longed for his very own boy.
But could Grey love what Atticus loved , lace .
Absolutely loved it . I received an arc of this book for a honest review .

Atticus Bennett is the PA to the owner of an advertising firm that was bought out by Gray Tremaine. Both men had difficult childhoods. Atti's was physically abusive and as a result, he has low self-esteem. Gray and Atti are very attracted to each other but Atti felt he wasn't good enough and office romances were not a good idea especially when Gray is the owner. This is a story of how realizes and accepts the man he really is and becomes the boy Gray has been wanting forever. This is a story that has the whole spectrum of emotions. Make sure you have a box of kleenex handy, as there will be sad and happy tears and a HEA!

Adorable, Sweet Romance!!!

In my opinion, JJ Harper and Daddy kink go together like peanut butter and jelly!! Whether it's Daddy/little or Daddy/boy, there's something about her writing that grabs me and doesn't let go. So, Everything, Always was really no different. Atticus and Grey felt familiar to me. Like we've been a part of their family longer than just this story and been watching for the magic to happen. Grey is the perfect Daddy for Atticus. He's able to calm him down and break through his anxiety like nobody else has ever been able to. Atticus is my favorite type of boy. He gives a confident outward appearance, wearing makeup, nail polish, but deep down, he's an insecure boy who wants someone to hold him and whisper in his ear. Grey gives that to him. Grey sees who he is without Atticus ever having to say a word. The two of them are perfect for each other. I hope we get to see more of them and Warwick with Felix. The four of them need their own follow-up!!!

I loved reading about Gray and Atti.

I loved it ❤️ it was so good.
I loved that it was low angst.
And that Gray and Atti only had eyes for each other.
There love story was sweet and steamy with all the feels.
It was nice to see Felix and Warwick again. I like banter between Gray and Warwick. And how they became fast friends with Atti.

Sexy lace, Daddy/Boy, spankings, no age play.


Everyone is going to love it.❤️

This is an amazing read. I couldn’t put it town. Gray and Atti’s story is so believable. The tension is just right right. From their first meeting to dealing with a problem coworker. I also enjoyed the scenes with Warwick and Felix. J.J. Harper does not disappoint.

When you know, you know. Yes I know I love instalove which is why I'm drawn to the kink reads like age-gap and daddy-boy. Gray is a successful man who wants a boy (not a little like Felix is to his best friend Warwick) but a boy to call him "Daddy" and to spoil. Gray finds this in his new PA Atticus who is remarkably competent at his job and hits all his protective buttons. Yes this romance develops in the office but it doesn't focus on that drama too much and instead we follow these two men knowing what they want and working out how to trust each other and themselves. Atticus has some self esteem issues that he needs his daddy to reassure him and Gray is more than up to the job (well with one or two missteps). The will they/won't they dance (of course they will) and near misses as they try to remain strictly professional is hot and thankfully doesn't take forever to resolve. I was very happy with their relationship and let's just say that Atticus and I share that particular kink that I'm glad Gray gave him and would love to read more of that.
Overall this is a solid read from JJ Harper with the heat and heart I expect from reading her other books and I am very happy to add this to my digital library. ** This review is an ARC from the author but I'm happy to share my own opinion. I look forward to more

So we have Everything, Always by J J Harper the sequel to Anything, Anytime and a much anticipated book.
This is a sweet feel good story about Atticus & Gray. Atty is a PA and his last boss was a cruel man so he was worried about meeting his new boss, for fear history would repeat itself. Gray is the boss man but very much a daddy and gave Atty some clear signals of interest almost from the off 🔥
The guys danced around their interest for a while but once the spark was ignited there was no putting it out and I enjoyed the initial push and pull between them both.
Atty definitely needed a daddy, someone to refer to, someone who could take away his worries and give him some direction and much needed support- especially with his best friend - I felt so bad for Atty who always wore his heart on his sleeve and in doing so left him exposed and very vulnerable at times.
It’s very easy to become immersed in JJ Harper’s world because it’s sweet, spicy and comforting like a great big hug. The writing is as always a treat, the story flows seamlessly and I am always engrossed from beginning to the very end!
So if you like, love, lace, lipgloss and sassiness then this is your nirvana and you should definitely meet the boys in JJ’s world🌍♥️- life will never be the same again because she totally rocks.

Loved the sassy Atti

Atti was my favorite part of this book. He was sweet, sexy and so sassy. He certainly had some self esteem issue is the first half of this book. No one had ever loved him enough to keep him. He was very worried that Gray would be the same. Gray was strong and confident, guiding Atti with a firm hand.

This was a wonderful Daddy/Boy book that showcased how a Daddy just wants to care for his Boy. Gray certainly had that in the bag. I loved how Atti liking to wear makeup and lingerie was a big part of this story. Gray not only accepted this about Atti, but he indulged it! The steam factor between these two was sky high.

I was happy to catch up with Warwick and Felix. I love how JJ weaves past characters through the story. This was such an enjoyable read.

I hate to say, but this book is full of angst, hurt and emotional turmoil. I bought the book because it said it had very little angst, but almost from the first page we are set up with Atticus having conflict with his BFF, Christopher that continues and gets worse as the book evolves. Atticus and Grey who is the boss find themselves with instant attraction and Atti has a hard time with it because of his friend and Grey being his boss. Atti also has a huge dose of PTSD from his childhood that makes him have serious trust issues and low self esteem. It is only at the end of the book that Atti becomes comfortable with himself and sees his true worth. This is a book with a lot of minor BDMS, frequent sexy times and a sweet HEA. A good book, but I warn you, it isn't low angst by any means.

I loved sweet Atticus!! Atticus is the PA to Gray who recently bought out the advertising agency that Atticus worked for. They have an instant attraction and serious chemistry. It isn’t long before they are acting on it. Atti was physically and verbally abused by his family in his youth and that has caused low self-esteem. Gray took one look at Atticus and knew he was the boy for his Daddy. But because Atticus’s best friend is jealous, he’s spreading rumors and Gray needs to prove to his boy how much he can trust him. This was fantastic!! Sooo freaking good! I’m voluntarily reviewing from an advanced copy that I received.

I wanted to read Gray's story when I read Warwick's story. Gray is the best friend and he deserved to find his happiness....and I love the way his story with Atticus came together!

Gray buys out his competitors advertising company and gets the best gift - a boy to love! Atticus has worked at the firm for years as the assistant, but immediately Gray recognizes that he is so much more capable than he's been seen as.

I loved the dual POVs because I felt like they were always feeling and I needed to feel with them! I appreciate that there wasn't unnecessary angst in the book. Just enough to keep me wanting more and not so much that I got burned. The biggest shock for me came with Christian who is Att's best friend.

I enjoyed the story and hope that the author will continue the series and give us so many more love stories!!!

Wonderful Daddy/Boy + Falling for the Boss

I think this book was even better than the first one in this series. I adore Atticus and his Daddy/Boss, Gray. Atti is such a whirlwind of color and sass, mixed with equal parts of shy, insecurity. Daddy Gray is the perfect man to offer unconditional love and support and his devotion to caring for and spoiling his boy is beautiful and tender. I loved the little bit of angst, as it added the perfect compliment to the sweetness. Of course, the heat factor was smoking! Definitely one of my favorite Daddy/Boy books so far this year.

Oh So Sweet

I've been a fan of JJ for awhile now and this book was oh so sweet. Atticus and Gray are smitten from their first meeting. Atti is Gray's PA at the firm Gray just acquired from an old enemy. They feel the sparks but are hesitant to act on them. Christian was such a gossip, I wanted to smack him. He was so jealous of Atti even though they were friends for 15 years. Of course Felix and Warwick and Lucien and Jamie make appearances as this is a continuing series. I highly recommend all of JJ's books and this book had two epilogues so score.

I loved this book! I could have used more backstories for both characters but that's because I love backstories. Like with the previous one I feel like the side character Christian should get his own book. The epilogue where he shows up again just felt a little awkward and unfinished.
I loved Atticus and Gray and how this was a very different Daddy/Boy relationship than the first one. It didn't feel like a repeat book but rather a whole different story. I am always happy when previous characters make a reappearance in a series. So I enjoyed seeing Felix and Warwick again!

This is the second part of this series. You can read it as a stand-alone but it’s much better after reading the first one. I loved Atticus and Gray. Atti made the perfect boy, even if he was new to it. Working together made their relationship harder but they were so good together. I read this entirely in one sitting because I could not put it down. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book.

When I first started reading the Everything Always, I knew it would have my attention from the moment I started reading it. Atticus is so sweet, love his makeup, sassy mouth, and would love daddy. Gray just bought the company that Atticus works at it and he's looking for the perfect boy. The book is funny, some angst, romantic, sweet, and these two sexy times are hot. You can see the chemistry between these two from the moment they meet and throughout the book.

Another great story

This was another great story in the series. I have to say the point of difference with these books with some other Daddy books is that the boy/little are not two really different people. They are the same person the whole time and the Daddy doesn't have to wait for them to be adult again to be intimate. I wasn't sure if I would like it but I did. Off to find more from the author.

An awesome read, from JJ Harper.
Everything, Always is a great book to curl up on the sofa with. I couldn't put it down. It's a beautiful love story with just the right mix of emotion, drama and steamy bits. It's an age-gap, office romance with a sexy couple that enjoy a bit of kink, nothing to heavy.
I loved Gray and Atti's story, they were realistic characters that I would love to meet.

Pretty as a picture.

MM contemporary romance featuring age gap, Daddy boy dynamic, office romance, second book in series but works as a stand-alone. Some angst throughout the story but a HEA is guaranteed. Instant attraction between Atticus and his new boss Gray Tremaine when Gray takes over the Whitworth advertising agency. Easy to read sweet and kinky romance.
