His Boy to Ride
Orson Bell
Dear Santa…
I don’t need much, living out of a suitcase for the last fifteen years has taught me I don’t need material items to be happy. But I do need a nice boy to cherish and spoil, to call my own forever.
Daddying_From_the_Bottom
I’ve had a long year filled with lonely nights to think about what I want and I thought I knew exactly what that was. Stranded on a ranch in Canada, Gentry Martel takes over my mind and my heart. Who knew I’d find my very own precious boy in bumfuck nowhere Alberta?
But if I was to make it work with Gentry, one of us would have to change our entire life for the other. Is love worth all that? Will I be ready for it, if it is?

Ft. McKay, Alberta, Canada.
We get a different dynamic, and two men in need who figure out their future !
Gentry is 41, worked his family farm his whole life, and now, after his father passed, he's the man in charge. He's strawberry blonde, hazel eyes,
has beard stubble, and is big and strong, secluded, but behind his closed door, he is a "little" who plays with his toys, binky and diapers, alone, to escape all of the responsibility, in a way. He's never had a Daddy, to give him what he craves, and is a virgin.
Orson, is tall, older with defined muscles, brown eyes,
a black man who is a successful Business Organizer. He's tired of the "road" and is lonely.
Orson gets caught in the huge snowstorm, and ends up at the farm B&B to ride it out. There he meets the family, and Gentry catches his eye. He likes Mrs. Markel, the sons, Fennec and Nolan, but it's the big, sturdy farmer, Gentry who is fascinating. Orson is a Daddy who likes to bottom and wrote to Cuff'd for a gift from Santa.
Curious Orson becomes Gentry's friend. He extends his stay, doesn't judge, but understands and helps the man. The deal is short term, where he's show Gentry what a real Daddy can do to sooth him and care for him.
It soon becomes a marvelous, hope-filled relationship where each man needs what the other can offer.
It's a lovely tale, gives us lots of happy feelings, yet at times it's sad, yet feeds the soul.
The characters are vivid, the descriptions are marvelous, with deep thoughts that are revealing, and I felt like I was on the farm seeing it for myself.
This author, Jaime Luther, is new for me, and I'll be reading more.
The epilogue is glorious !
ENJOY !

I think this is my first book by this author (need to check to be sure), and I definitely enjoyed his style. No huge conflict, but still plenty of personal growth on the part of both MCs. I'd love to read stories about Fennec or Nolan finding an HEA, hint hint hint!

4,5 stars for His Boy to Ride by Jamie Luther. His Boy to Ride is the sixth book to release in the Naughty or Nice series season 2.
This book is about Gentry, early 40's and Orson, late 40's. Gentry's dad died 8 months ago and he and his family are having a hard time. Orson has been traveling for work dor the last 15 years. When he gets stranded at the ranch from Gentry's family he finds his own precious boy. But to stay together one of them has to change their lifestyle.
I loved this story! It was sweet, sexy, full of feels and very well written. Gentry and Orson are perfect together. I loved the side characters and hope that his 2 single brothers get a story too🤞

This story was a breath of fresh air for this season of this series and didn't follow the exact same path/storyline as the others. Gentry and Orson were just perfect for each other and I think met at the perfect time in their lives. Orson is a wonderful and stable presence in Gentry's life and his family's life. Gentry brought love and family into Orson's lonely life. I enjoyed their story and just wish we had had some more time with them.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed Orson and Gentry's story. The pace is slow and steady, which is perfect considering setting and the personalities of the main characters. There are quite a few unexpected components to this book including a Daddy who exclusively bottoms, a 41 year old virgin, and an extremely welcoming and accepting family.

a lovely story
Really cute story, about finding love in a snow storm, completely unexpectedly. Between wonderful, slightly interfering family members, a cute dog and the joyful idea of a 41year old just relaxing by building and knocking over towers of bricks. This was feel good and low angst,

i really liked this one! it was a warm, sweet, and lovely story. despite the ending feeling like it was rushed, the transitions not done as well as i would’ve liked, and a few weird inconsistencies, i still enjoyed myself. i’m also way more lenient on comfort reads and tropes i don’t see as often (bottom daddy) so overall, it was a win for me!

Story: 4.5 Stars
This Naughty or Nice book may be short on words but it's big on story, and it's a gem! I thoroughly enjoyed this heartfelt and fairly steamy Daddy/little romance, and cheers for both MCs being in their 40s.
A snowstorm puts traveling businessman Orson directly in the path of Canadian cowboy Gentry, who runs his family's bison ranch that includes a B&B, and their connection is nearly immediate. While stranded at the ranch, Orson quickly gets to know the 'baby' of the family, and it's practically destiny that the two lonely, love-starved men find their perfect match in each other.
The sense of place - Canadian farm country in winter - is a real strength in this story and added a great deal of insight in understanding the characters and their lives. I especially enjoyed the scene of Gentry riding around his family's vast acreage on his beloved horse Elsie.
Family also plays a big role here, including struggling with the loss of it (in this case, parents), and I appreciated the author's sensitivity in showcasing how pain and grief know no timetable. Orson being welcomed into the family by Gentry's mother and brothers is heartwarming, and I've got my fingers crossed this isn't the last we've seen of brothers Fennec and Nolan.
The Cuffd dating app linking this multi-author series together doesn't actually factor in much, which surprised me, but I also didn't miss it. Also, in case there's any question, this is a Daddy/little story that features ABDL and the latter does come into play on the page. I received an advance reading e-copy of this book and have left this honest review voluntarily. (Also read in KU.)

This is one of the books in the multi author Naughty or Nice series season 2 which jumps of from the Cuffd app.
The author creates a non standard dynamic around Christmas time in a very warm family setting on the Martel Ranch, where Gentry lives with his family who are still coming to terms with finding their why after his dad died. Orson has made a last minute reservation at their B & B to wait out a snowstorm, and with a little help of momma Martel he is not in a guest room but in a room on the same floor and hallway as Gentry.
The main characters are; Orson, late forties, very tall, nice dark, bare and hairless, caring daddy with a twist, who travels a lot for his job falls for Gentry, early forties, sensitive, light and a hairy precious boy who works on his family farm. Both men are on The Cuffd app but don't really need it because they are exactly what the other wants and needs and find their hea.
This is a sweet warm daddy boy story foe any time of the year.
The author leave plenty of scope to create more stories for Gentry his brothers
This story get 4,5 * from me.
I was given an arc by the author.

This book is part of the Naughty or Nice 2 series but it can stand alone. Orson and Gentry meet unexpectedly, thanks to mother nature and her snowstorms. Gentry has a lot going on his life, dealing with the death of his father and struggling to keep the ranch going. The author does a beautiful job of showing how grieving is done differently by everyone and doesn't diminish the pain they feel. However, it's not the focus of the story. Gentry finally finding a Daddy, even if it's "temporarily", helps him deal with all the stress and pain. Orson is the perfect Daddy, treating Gentry so sweetly and patiently. He takes Gentry into his care until he leaves, but he can't help re-evaluate his life the more he stays with the Martel Family. The love slowly blooms in the story, every effection, touch, and pain of losing a loved one helping it grow. And the heat..wow.. giving it that extra special touch 😉. There is some ABDL but it is minimal. Gentry is so cute as a little, so sweet and innocent. And I really hope we get the stories about Gentry's brother. They are both very interesting.

I really enjoyed the Canadian ranch setting for this romance set around the holidays. Gentry and Orson make a wonderful, warm, caring couple that I wanted to see together from the first. The author handles the plot about Gentry and his family grieving the loss of his father delicately but very realistically and Orson provides some of the comfort and caring that really helps Gentry navigate a rough time. These two have to do some genuine negotiating and communicating in order to be together and that made for a great story with angst that never felt contrived but flowed naturally.

There’s never enough Daddy & Little books out there, so if you’re looking for one - pick this up! Orson & Gentry are so precious together. Both of them are a little nerve-wracked to start something due to their situation, but they are able to come together and work it out. Gentry is the most adorable & cute Little!
Also, this book reminds me of why I dislike snow so much! Low angst - plenty of super fun side characters, and there’s a DOG. How could it get any better?

What a sweet addition to Naughty or Nice Season Two
Orson and Gentry are the sweetest couple! When Orson is stranded by snow and seeks shelter at Gentry's family B&B/ working ranch, sparks fly almost from the beginning. Once he finds out the eldest son of the family is a little, he's smitten immediately.
This is a fun and steamy read with an older (and virgin) little, a daddy who likes to bottom, and a family who has very few secrets. I'm so glad I read it and definitely recommend it!

This, to me, is Jamie Luther’s best work to date! Orson and Gentry are so incredibly special together - a boy that doesn’t find what he truly needs until he is in his 40s and a man who has been waiting to find him. Love the references to ranch life - I could see the beautiful landscape through Jamie’s lovely words. I’m currently obsessed with stories of people finally finding what they’re looking for in their 40s and older - this is a perfect example of this!
January 2, 2022
Orson and Gentry are fabulous together! Gentry’s family is the kind of family everyone should have. Heartfelt and sweet.

This book was written well and the story was adorable. I enjoyed reading Gentry and Orson and seeing the relationship unfold. If you love daddy’s and age play this book is for you!
January 6, 2022
I’m not a big fan of the Daddy/Little dynamic, but I keep trying sometimes. I took a chance on this one and was pleasantly surprised. Orson and Gentry were sweet together.
Read
January 6, 2022This was fine. There isn't anything necessarily problematic about it and I liked it well enough but I probably won't reread it. It was super super rushed and needed a hell of a lot more development.
I am totally here for the age play elements and the supportive family and the relationship between Orson and Gentry, but so much happened in this book yet nothing happened too. It's almost infuriating because it's got a ton of potential to be really really good yet because it is rushed through instead of fully developed and planned out, the reader is left with whiplash. All the characters are super wonderful and the romance is great but there's not enough. I needed more!

This was a really sweet read and my first in this Naughty or Nice series. Orson and Gentry were meant for each other, you could tell that from the start, each searching for the perfect person to complement their needs. Orson made such a sweet Daddy for Gentry and Gentry was the perfect boy for Orson. I thought the way Gentry's mother took Orson into her family was lovely too, he needed that even if he didn't realise it beforehand. I liked that their roles in bed weren't usual for this type of relationship (well, from the books I've read so far anyway). There was so much to like about this book, a lovely feel-good romance with no angst (which I loved). I loved all of the characters in this book and hope Jamie will write Gentry's brother's stories at some point.

This is a review divided. While I really enjoyed Orson and Gentry together, I did have an issue or two throughout the book.
Orson is an older MC. I love that we are getting an older MC who likes to bottom. Luther is really good at writing atypical MCs and I love that. Orson is seemingly content to live out of a suitcase. That is, until he gets stranded at the Martel Ranch. There he meets Gentry, a little who hasn’t found a daddy to take care of him. Gentry was a delightful little. I loved how he talked in little space. It was so cute. Orson was just the right kind of daddy for him. They complimented one another perfectly.
However, some of the transitions between scenes and chapters felt abrupt. For example, the very first time Orson meets Gentry, they barely converse, walk into the house together and then that’s it. I wish there had been a little more regarding their first meeting. There were some grammatical errors sprinkled throughout and the book had an overall rushed feeling to it.
In the end, there was just so much to enjoy about this book. Gentry and Orson were a perfect fit and the found family aspect just did it for me. Janet and her roosters were adorable. 3.5 stars rounded to 4.

Unexpected found family
I'm so glad that the powers-that-be decided to do another season of Cuff'd Naughty or Nice. I absolutely loved the first season books and this year is proving to be just as good.
I think one of the things I liked best about this book is that both the Daddy and boy are older. Gentry is in his early 40's, but still very much a Little looking for his first daddy. When Orson, a Daddy Dom looking for a forever boy, gets stranded on Gentry's family's ranch, it's the perfect setting for some holiday magic to make both their wishes come true. I loved how the relationship between Gentry and Orson just fell into place seamlessly. Gentry's mother and brothers are the perfect secondary characters and the author doesn't get overly bogged down in "cowboy" jargon or in over-describing life on the ranch. It's the perfect amount of world building, while also keeping the focus on the relationship that is blossoming. I'd love to read more about these characters and I hope that the author will revisit them in the future. This is a perfect feel-good story and I was completely engaged from start to finish. Definitely recommend it!

His Boy to Ride is the second book in the A Naughty or Nice series this story is by author Jamie Luthor. I loved this story. It is told in dual POV and the connections to the characters. I love that, I read romances to fall in love and I did so hard in this one.
Gentry he wants a Daddy. He is a responsible man who needs someone to tell him it is okay to be himself.
Orson, he is a sweet caring Daddy. He thinks he doesn’t want to have a boy all the time or to fall in love. But Gentry manages to change his mind by just being the sweet man he is.
I really loved this addition to the series. I cannot wait to see who writes what next. If you want a beautiful story where you can fall in love with two great men this is the book to pick up.

I have loved all of the books in the second season of Naughty or Nice and this book is no exception. Gentry lives and works on his family ranch and Orson is a traveling businessmen caught out by the snowstorm.
I loved how Orson was slowly able to peal back the layers with Gentry and show him what it was like to have a daddy to look after him. I also adored the dynamic of the boy topping his daddy as that isn’t something you often read and it really made this one stand out to me. The whole family are just adorable and I would love if there were further stories so we can learn more about Gentry’s brothers. This was such a feel-good book and I just loved it.

I absolutely loved Orson and Gentry. Gentry was one of the sweetest littles I think I have read in a long time. The way he handled moving between his Big and Little time was wonderful and It just made me happy to see how accepting Orson was as a Daddy. The perfect Daddy for Gentry. I’ve always enjoyed the author’s writing style and this book was no exception. For a heartwarming Daddy/Boy story and characters you will fall in love with, grab His Boy to Ride.

Another fun book
As soon as I heard the title of this book I knew that I was going to like it but then I have enjoyed everything that Jamie Luther has written. This is a very sweet book with the two main characters coming together by accident and being just what the other needed. Nothing terribly different or crazy just a lovely story about people who find each other and fall in love with age play added in. A great addition to this series. Enjoy

Sweet
This was such a sweet Daddy/boy story. I liked that both MC's were older and not your typical daddy and boy. When Orson got stranded at a ranch B&B due to a snow storm, he had no idea he would find adorable little Gentry. Gentry has never had much time to pursue finding a daddy, will he be able to let Orson go when the snow clears? This story was filled with emotion, heat, and finding family again.

So so
There was a lot of wishful thinking in this book. There is some weirdness regarding the appropriateness of swapping of all types body fluids without necessarily having a prior conversation with the virgin about whether it’s a desired or okay part of intimacy. As the pattern continued, some fluid sharing was just gross, and described with very unrealistic optimism. Other parts were unnecessarily unhygienic. Different books in the series have much less cringy intimacy scenes.
Likes:
No cheating
There is lip service paid to protecting Gentry’s right to grant or withhold consent.
HEA
Dislikes:
- Creepy description of Gentry’s bathing suit area as though he is a young child, except for the one huge pj tent illustration. The character’s physical body shouldn’t change whether or not he has regressed so the inconsistent bathing suit area descriptions are odd. Further, having an adult who regresses as a coping mechanism also find a romantic partner who can deal with that coping mechanism in a consensual relationship between two adults is fine. Describing Gentry’s body as though it’s preadolescent along with the intimacy scenes is totally flinch-away creepy.
- Consent issues
Orson never asked Gentry if teasing was okay with him or clarified for his inexperienced partner what edging was before subjecting him to it repeatedly without warning or permission. Saying no one will touch him without permission is not the same as getting consent to manipulate him physiologically and then get off on a power trip. It’s creepy behavior.

-Manipulative physical abuse based on poor communication by Orson
- After refusing to tell Gentry he isn’t leaving and edging him without his understanding or consent, Gentry avoids Orson because Orson is being emotionally abusive by withdrawing his honesty from the relationship as well as failing to meet Gentry’s physical needs after physically teasing him, again, without Gentry’s prior consent. Orson pretends his motives for stopping are based on Gentry needing to being out of regression to discuss consent, which is not true because Orson asks about safe words while Gentry is regressed. If Gentry can’t consent while regressed then he can’t use safe words responsibly while regressed either, meaning Orson is committing illegal acts against the mentally impaired. So either Orson is a liar or a criminal. Personally, I think he’s a manipulative liar, which makes his shining armor a little too dingy for a true romantic lead.
As if that isn’t enough, Orson then introduces spanking to punish Gentry for failure to trust. This is a massive consent issue because Orson introduces it without Gentry’s consent or expressed desire as Gentry has clearly said he doesn’t like pain.
Another underlying consent issue is that Gentry was a 41 year old virgin, so if he says no to what Orson wants he could be alone forever and that introduces coercion into the power exchange that Orson has not addressed as the partner with the most power in the relationship. Gentry is likely to agree to anything Orson wants unless he’s willing for the relationship to be over without a realistic way to find another partner. Orson never addresses this dynamic as he pushes Gentry past his stated pain boundaries.
Again, Gentry is regressed when Orson asks about safe words during the spanking that is supposed to punish Gentry for not trusting Orson. Either Gentry can consent during regression to get rewarded or he can’t consent during regression to get punished. The inconsistent expectations and moving the goal posts is called “ crazy making behavior” because it’s used by domestic abusers to control victims. There is nothing romantic about domestic abuse.
Next, Orson failed to communicate willingness to commit, failed to clarify and get consent for teasing or edging, and failed to account for the coercion element of the power exchange due to the isolation factor. Gentry should have gotten rewarded for not trusting Orson because Orson wasn’t behaving in a trustworthy manner. Instead, they both pretend Orson’s physical abuse that violates Gentry’s no pain boundaries is somehow proof of Orson’s commitment and shows Orson is trustworthy. No one should trust someone who physically abuses them. Obviously, Orson didn’t like Gentry’s avoidance and wanted to regain control and that’s why he hurt Gentry. Lying, manipulating, and physical abuse doesn’t demonstrate care or commitment and violating someone’s boundaries never results in real trust. I didn’t take all the stars because I don’t think the author is trained to understand the ramifications of this plot device, but I don’t think abuse should be normalized in any sort of romantic relationship and so I can’t recommend the book.
There was a lot of wishful thinking in this book. There is some weirdness regarding the appropriateness of swapping of all types body fluids without necessarily having a prior conversation with the virgin about whether it’s a desired or okay part of intimacy. As the pattern continued, some fluid sharing was just gross, and described with very unrealistic optimism. Other parts were unnecessarily unhygienic. Different books in the series have much less cringy intimacy scenes.
Likes:
No cheating
There is lip service paid to protecting Gentry’s right to grant or withhold consent.
HEA
Dislikes:
- Creepy description of Gentry’s bathing suit area as though he is a young child, except for the one huge pj tent illustration. The character’s physical body shouldn’t change whether or not he has regressed so the inconsistent bathing suit area descriptions are odd. Further, having an adult who regresses as a coping mechanism also find a romantic partner who can deal with that coping mechanism in a consensual relationship between two adults is fine. Describing Gentry’s body as though it’s preadolescent along with the intimacy scenes is totally flinch-away creepy.
- Consent issues
Orson never asked Gentry if teasing was okay with him or clarified for his inexperienced partner what edging was before subjecting him to it repeatedly without warning or permission. Saying no one will touch him without permission is not the same as getting consent to manipulate him physiologically and then get off on a power trip. It’s creepy behavior.

Hard time finishing
I skimmed quite a bit of this book, which us a shame cause Daddy/Littles is one of my favorite troupes. I couldn't feel any connection to either MC. Maybe because the descriptions of them were so bland? G was hairy and O was smooth was all I got. Was O black? I didn't think so until the one scene where they were talking about his dark skin. Don't care either way but I like to have atleast a vague picture in my head of the MC's.
I also found it weird to have a 40yr old virgin as an MC and then to have him sleep with a guy he has known for a week? Plus the sex scene made no sense, G felt it was wetter and better the second time? But he was wearing a condom? Does it feel wetter if you are wearing a condom? Not like he came in O.
And how would he be able to hide being a little having blocks and a binky while still living at home with his mom? He should have just been out about it to his mom not just his brothers. Esp if he's gonna be wearing reusuable diapers ...wouldn't that be a surprise if his mom changes the laundry...
Idk, this story just fell flat for me and I'm not sure what all the hype was about.
I did enjoy the Daddy bottoming, that's always a nice change.
