Naughty or Nice Season Two
His Boy to Cuddle
Dear Santa,
I just recently moved to Boston and would love to find a sweet, pretty boy to spend the holidays with. I’m a fit, thirty-eight-year-old Daddy who loves to cuddle, pamper and kiss up a storm. Spankings and punishments? Not so much. With that in mind, I’d prefer a nice boy. Naughty in bed? That’s a different story! I’m all about heating up the sheets and keeping my boy satisfied. All Littles are welcome, any age, but if he likes dolls and frilly things—even better. I love me a femme boy who knows what he wants.
I need to be up-front, though, Santa. This is a no strings attached arrangement for the week leading up to Christmas only. A long-term relationship isn’t what I’m searching for right now and be sure to let any potential boys know I’m not a wealthy dude. I can’t shower him with lots of presents but I can sure shower him with tons of affection!
Thanks, big guy. I hope you can fulfill my wish.

Travis esta buscando su Daddy ideal desde que sabe que quiere ser un boy. El problema es que es un boy que le gusta vestirse con ropa de nina pequena o no de nino pequeno, y parece que a ninguno de los Daddy les gusta eso. Sin embargo, su amigo Tate lo incita a buscar en las cartas de Santa en la aplicacion Cuff a ver si consigue a su Daddy ideal, aunque sea solo para pasar las fiestas. Asi contacta con Daddy DareDaddy, que parece ser todo lo que quiere, el unico problema sera que el solo quiere un boy para las fiestas, sera que podra convencerlo para ser su boy para siempre?
Jaxon se acaba de mudar a la ciudad y no tiene nadie con quien pasar las fiestas, asi que por insistencia de su amigo Brock escribe su carta a Santa en la aplicacion Cuff, esperando conseguir a su boy ideal, pero siempre teniendo en cuenta que es solo por las fiestas, ya que el no tiene el tiempo para tener un boy a tiempo completo. Pero cuando consigue a un boy que es perfecto para el, sera capaz de dejarlo ir?
El libro es aburrido, de verdad, la trama es totalmente olvidable, no senti que tuviera quimica la pareja, y ni siquiera tiene unos secundarios que valieran la pena (apenas aparecen en el primer capitulo y despues zass). Tiene sus meritos, es bastante navideno, enfocado en las fiestas y el sentimiento de pertecener, pero no logre conectar con ninguno de los personajes y eso me hizo este libro, aunque corto, eterno de leer.
Es una lastima, porque he leido otros libros de este autor y me han llamado la atencion, pero definitivamente este no. En fin, creo que voy a dejar los libros de esta serie por ahora, y quizas para finales de ano cuando tenga mas tiempo libre le de otra oportunidad a los otros autores de esta serie.

Both men went on the Cuff'd app because they were lonely, and Christmas was coming, so they agreed to one week.
Jaxon, 38, fit, long chestnut hair, beard, tattoos,
has green eyes and is a hairy bear of a man. He is the District Manager of a Sporting Goods store. His sis is Luna, and he's a Dom/Daddy.
Tracy, 22, (cover) is a femme boy who like to
wear nighties, play with Barbie dolls, he's smaller, toned, and will be having his first sexy times. He works at the U.S.S. Constitution Museum and has a successful online collectibles business. Tate is his BFF.
Firstly, they chat a bit on Cuff'd, then meet for a date and shared some history and needs. Tracy is super nervous and shy, plus insecure in his wants, because his parents have insulted and bullied him for many years.
Jaxon was patient and kind and sweet Tracy got tears a few times, because he'd never had a Daddy and couldn't believe how wonderful it really was in real life. They move slowly at first, with Jaxon watching over him and giving all of the cuddles he can handle, so, Tracy was in heaven.
This lovely novella is a terrific story of a Daddy showing his "little" boy how amazing their life could be.
At weeks end, the two men had a decision to make.
I liked these guys, and once Tracy knew what to expect, he was having the best time in his life. He became more confident and strong.
We get a marvelous epilogue.
ENJOY !

It's another sweet offering from the Naughty or Nice series, Season Two. These are books that are written by a covey of different authors with the theme of "boys" finding their forever "daddies", or "daddies" finding their forever "boys". Jaxon has finally gotten the promotion he has worked so hard for. Years of hard work managing his sporting goods store has paved the way for him to move from sunny California into cold, snowy Massachusetts, and just in time for Christmas along with a huge storm on its way. He chose to be based out of Boston because it was the home of Club Sensation...the BDSM Club. Two of the characters from Morticia Knight's other series Kiss of Leather, which I absolutely loved, make an appearance in this book. Jaxon's friend and fellow Dom, Brock, had highly recommended him said he would back his club membership request. The club owner, Master Zane, had helped Gavin when he was setting up his Kiss of Leather Club. His friend, Brock is pushing him to write a "Dear Santa" letter to the club's website for a "Little" to keep him company on his first Christmas in a new place. He receives an answer right away from a boy calling himself, "PrincessT", and things are starting to look up for him. After meeting and playing together both men want to see more of one another. The problem is that "Daddy" Jaxon had said in his letter that they would only be together until Christmas, and that he wasn’t interested in a relationship. Now he hopes he can somehow undo that...but he isn't sure if Tracy only wants the week to try out what he said he always wanted but had never experienced. Tracy, (PrincessT), had for years been beaten down his entire life by his parents and his sisters for not being "manly" enough or good enough. He now has happiness and acceptance from his best friend, Tate who he works with in a museum gift shop. It was Tate that talked him into writing the letter and Tate intends to see to it that Jaxson doesn't mess up the best thing that has ever happened to him. The huge snowstorm that traps them in Jaxson's apartment seems to also be working to keep them together. Now neither Jaxson nor Tracy wants their budding relationship to end as each now believes that Santa had given them each to the other...the perfect gift. Morticia Knight is one of my favorite authors. She never makes over the top anxiety a big part of the story and let us see the resolution both men wanted when they finally verbalized their thoughts/fears/desires. I have enjoyed season 2 as much as I did season 1 of the "Naughty or Nice" novellas. This one was so sweet and just a bit "naughty" in all the "nice" ways.

3.5/5.
His Boy to Cuddle is a very cute, short daddy kink novella. Tracy is a femme little who in little space likes to be a princess, and Jaxon is an older daddy who is just settling into a new place.
Honestly, I really enjoyed this. This is the first time I have read anything by Morticia Knight and it was well done, with very few errors and I was able to get easily engaged into the story and the character's journeys. I think that the only drawback here was the length working against Knight, because some scenes I would have liked to see were dropped for the sake of keeping it short.
When it comes to Tracy and Jaxon, I loved seeing how Tracy interacts with little space, his enjoyment in barbies and baby dolls, and his cute clothes. I want 100 more stories like this, thank you. It was so adorable. Jaxon was also a great daddy to him, cuddling him lots and sharing with him his experience. There were a lot of firsts for Tracy and Jaxon never pressured him into anything more. I liked how there wasn't huge angst around 'this was only meant to be for the Holidays', and just talked out how they wanted to be more.
There were some scenes I wanted to see, such as Tracy's Christmas dinner and for the couple of dates they had before Christmas. There were only two sex scenes (which again, makes sense for the length), but damn were those sex scenes hot. The rimming? Wooow. Knight knows how to write it well. I will definitely be reading more by this author!
"This was a needy, attention-starved boy. And as it so happened, Jaxon was a deprived caretaker who’d been alone for way too many years. At what point had he thought not having a relationship was a good idea?"

Oh how I wanted to love this. The blurb got me extremely excited because I love an adorable fem little and Tracy was adorable don’t get me wrong, but I found the whole story pretty bland. I did think they were sweet together but there was very little substance and I found myself getting pretty bored throughout the story.
Jaxon was big, hairy, and growly but also predictable in his “oh I don’t have time for a relationship…” then two seconds later “OH MY GOD the perfect boy I must not let him get away”. I was hoping for a little more development for both characters. They felt surface level and I got tired really quickly of the constantly unsure virgin and the “I’ll do anything for you and I have no needs or wants for myself” daddy.
It also felt weird that they had basically zero interaction with other people and any potential plot tension (like Christmas with Tracy’s parents) was just glossed over and hastily mentioned later. I didn’t understand or connect to Tracy’s sister Luna especially when she basically guilted him into going to Christmas with a family who was horrible to him. I kept waiting for more meat and emotion to the story but it just never came.
This wasn’t bad it was well written and I did finish it, but it didn’t make me excited or feel much of anything other than meh.

February 2, 2022Yeah we have to talk about making blanket statements, especially surrounding virginity and dating culture etc. It is not weird or abnormal or strange or wrong to have not been on a date or had a kiss or had sex at any age. There is no romantic or sexual milestone you have to achieve in order to be an adult. I had a hard time with this book because one of the MC's is 22 and he has never been on a date or been kissed and he's a virgin. Now all of those things are fine and the issues come when all of that was talked about. Every time Tracy mentioned it, it was talked about in a way that said "everyone's been on a date by 22. Everyone's had sex by 22. Everyone has been kissed by 22" etc. You get the point. This is bullshit for one, coming from a 26-year-old who has never had and will never have partnered sex, but it also only adds to harmful stereotypes about romantic partnerships and sex in general. This is amatonormativity and dangerous.
So if we can move past the too frequent blanket statements about sex and romance, this book isn't bad. It didn't have enough plot for me and it took place over like 3 days, but I did really enjoy the 2 MCs. I wish we had gotten more age play on page and more of the details or context surrounding Tracy's family. This book is very short and unfortunately it wasn't long enough to make an impact. Or maybe the actual writing just wasn't done in a way that it was able to make an impact in so few pages. It's over 100 pages.
This is part of the season two of the naughty and nice and I wish I could say that this season has been good but honestly it's been really rough. I've only found one book from the whole season that I like genuinely enjoyed and the rest were either very middle of the road or actively problematic.
This book does do communication really well. There are a lot of conversations about safe words and consent boundaries etc. I loved what age play there was and wish there had been more. As a whole this one isn't bad per se but it isn't one that I will reread or probably remember.
Explicit scenes on page. No ABDL.

The blurb for this was very promising, I was really excited for a femme princess little, age gap, Daddy kink romance. Started out cute and it did deliver a somewhat sweet, low angst, if predictable story. But it kinda fell flat for me and I felt pretty disinterested by about halfway.
Tracy is an incredibly shy virginal princess, very adorable but anxious, who has never had a kiss and second guesses everything. Jaxson is the typical muscle bear Daddy type who wants a week of no strings fun and who hasn’t been able to indulge his caregiving side. Everything played out mostly as I anticipated but the moments that would have added tension, like all the time they were snowed in together or Tracy’s apparently traumatic Christmas visit home were glossed over and mentioned in passing. Really could’ve read more - I would have loved some tension to move the story, some additional sex scenes, and some on page dedication to Tracy and Jaxson’s age play dynamic before the I-love-yous. The writing was good and I did finish it but it was just okay for me.

This book was the definition of fluffy and adorable. So much that it bordered on too much, but the novella length definitely worked in its favor. The novella length of course did make certain aspects feel rushed, but I don't know if I could have done much longer. The characters were sweet, and Tracy developing some confidence was nice to see. I decided to read this right after Born Daddy, because there is a character crossover, and I think that was the right choice. Overall, this is good if you want a daddy kink story with a slight twist (Tracy's little is a princess who loves dolls and ruffled clothes), and warm, fuzzy feelings.
January 31, 2022
This was super fast and intense, but still worked well for me. I thought both MCs were great, even at completely different places in life.

[I received a digital arc for an honest review]
His Boy to Cuddle by Morticia Knight is a short and sweet kinky romance novella. And age gap, age play (no ABDL) between a caretaker daddy and his shy princess boy.
Jaxon is new to Boston and because of obligations, a new job and a new routine, he doesn't feel like he can commit to being a full-time daddy currently. He uses the cuffd app to find a boy Just to spend the holidays with. Tracy is a little who enjoys cuddles and playing with his Barbies. He's never had a daddy and doesn't believe there's one out there who would want a princess . He takes a chance on the cuffd app and when he comes across Jaxon, it seems too good to be true. He is not thrilled with it being a temporary situation, but he's dying to finally have a daddy and share his little side with someone who will accept him. Thier week goes by way too quickly and by the end neither are ready to say goodbye.
Tracy is really sweet, shy and kind-hearted, but he has a lot of emotional damage from his parents that causes him anxiety and low self-esteem. He constantly felt like he was doing something wrong and that he would get in trouble for actually doing the things he enjoyed . Jaxon is the perfect, caring daddy for him. He helps Tracy feel comfortable sharing his little side and helps him communicate what he wants.
"This was a needy, attention starved boy. And as it so happened, Jaxon was a deprived caretaker who'd been alone for way too many years."
One of my favorite aspects of BDSM /Kink books is the communication. It's so important in the dynamic, both outside of a scene and during. Jaxon was always checking in on Tracy to make sure he was comfortable and within his boundaries. The sexual intimacy in this one was a slow burn, with Tracy being a virgin and Jaxon letting him control the pace. Also Tracy didn't associate sex with being in his little headspace that was for Adult Tracy and the story spent a lot of time with Tracy enjoying being little with his Daddy.
His Boy to Cuddle by Morticia Knight was a sweet novella. Filled with being snowed in, Disney movie watching, barbie dress up, cuddles, first times, and a happily ever after.

Story: 3.5 Stars
This snuggly sweet Little story (pun intended!) about loving and being loved for your true self is an enjoyable addition to the multi-author Naughty or Nice series. It's set in snowy Boston during the holidays, and I liked how the setting factored into the story.
All caretaking Daddy Jaxon (38) wants for Christmas - and only that, he thinks - is a sweet femme boy of his own, and turns to the Cuffd dating app to find him. Shy and lonely Little Tracy (22) is doubtful he'll ever find a Daddy whose k¡nks align with his and is shocked when Jaxon takes an interest via the app.
They're a thoughtful and considerate couple, and their romance unfolds quickly but has a slow-burn feel. There's a lot of hurt/comfort at play here, with Tracy having endured past rejection, and he comes to fully embrace his sexuality and being Daddy's Little princess with Jaxson's support and encouragement.
For as short as the story is, I would've liked more time spent actually building up their feelings than fretting about admitting those feelings to each other. To that end (fair warning this gets spoilery), I wondered why what should be key points in their relationship - the fancy dinner, Tracy telling his sister about Jaxson, Christmas with Tracy's h0m0ph0bic parents - all occurred off-page.
It's fairly obvious that some secondary characters are or will be crossover MCs in the author's other books, but not having read those yet didn't affect my following along here. I received an advance reading e-copy of this book and have left this honest review voluntarily. (Also read in KU.)

This was a sandwich with one single slice of lunchmeat, when I was hoping for hoagie levels of meat/substance.
Tracy being into princess age play was a nice change, but aside from liking to play with Barbies and wearing a flannel nightgown, we didn't see much of Tracy's regression. Tracy's friend Tate (and his Daddy, Rogan) were mentioned a fair amount, but it wasn't until the end, where the author invites us to check out how the two met in Born Daddy that I realized I'd already read their story (and loved it). Even though it was mentioned that Tate's former daddy had been a serial killer, I never connected the two. Again, a lack of meat for Tate's character, if he didn't even ring any bells with me.
And so much happened off-page that we really should have seen - Jaxon and Tracy's fancy dinner date; the Christmas Day debacle at Tracy's parents' house - that was conflict mentioned enough that we should have gotten to see it. And his sister Luna - why did she pressure him into going for what was surely going to be a disastrous visit? Yeah, she's on Tracy's side and makes him nightgowns, but why else should we care about her?
This was a single slice of ham when I wanted ham, turkey, salami, summer sausage, and bacon. It wasn't bad, but I was still hungry afterward.

This was a single slice of ham when I wanted ham, turkey, salami, summer sausage, and bacon. It wasn't bad, but I was still hungry afterward.

This was a sweet addition to the Naughty or Nice series .
Usually multiauthor books are hit or miss for me so I choose the authors I’m familiar with. I have read Morticia Knight’s books before now but not very often. I may have to rectify that.
The “it’s only going to be a holiday fling”trope is not uncommon. The story may have been a little bit predictable but was still very sweet and I had a hard time putting it down.
Tracy and Jaxon were wonderful together. I adored Tracy and his insecurities; touch starved characters are my weakness. I wish we as readers had seen the conflict with Tracy’s parents on page, but for a quick read, the bond between the two MCs was lovely.
Heat: 6/10 (decent amount for such a quick read)
Character development: 6/10 (I got a good feel for Tracy, less so for Jaxon, but both were like able)
Storyline: 8/10 (enjoyable, if a bit predictable at times)
Overall: 8/10 (would recommend)

This was a cute one. The characters are rather adorable and sweet together, there is enough heat and sweetness to carry the story and it was a pretty nice, short read. However, it is pretty mainstream. A person meets a person, one longs for a relationship, one thinks they don't want one, they meet and bam, they are perfect for each other, exactly what the other needs. Then there is some spoiling, some heat, some angst, some cute moments, and HAE. Pretty mainstream and just like all the other stories out there, but it was still enjoyable. Perfect when you want to read something light, cute and sweet.

This is one of the sweetest Daddy/little books I've read. Poor Tracy is so shy, but Jaxon is exactly who he needs. It's an instalove story, but it didn't feel forced at all. It was just perfect for these two. This is part of the Naughty Or Nice Season 2 series, but definitely can be read as a standalone. There are some other great books in that series though.

This was a sweet short Christmas read and I enjoyed it. Jaxon and Tracy met through the Cuffd app. Jaxon just moved to town because of his job. Tracy works at the museum and his friend convinced him to read the letters to Santa. I loved the chemistry and I really liked how Jaxon was able to help Tracy grow and become more confident.

Tracy and Jacob, were meant to be Daddy/boy just for the holidays as Jacob has just moved and Tracy isnt sure if anyone would want him to be their princess.
The whole story is so cute, love the length, the flow, the way the characters interact and are scared to admit they want more - to be daddy/boy longer than just the holidays. I mean it has dolls and cuddles, perfect plus some smexy times!

Tracy is just a true sweetie. I just wanted to cuddle him and make sure that he was happy all the time. Jaxson really needed a boy like that, and they are just great together.
I did feel for both of them because they both were worried about the end of the relationship, and it made my heart hurt, but they did figure it out, so that worked. It was totally worth the payout.

This was an incredibly sweet story. Jaxon and Tracy were so good together. I loved how Jaxon was so patient with Tracy and encouraged him to be his true self. The connection these characters had was so special.

His Boy to Cuddle is the 9th book in the Naughty or Nice series season 2. His Boy to Cuddle is written by Morticia Knight and is about Tracy and Jaxon. Tracy has never had a Daddy. Jaxon is looking for a Boy for the Holidays.....
I loved their story. It was sweet, sexy, full of feels and very well written.

Sweet princess boy needs a Daddy
Awww! This is such a sweet story. Tracy is the shyest, most adorable Little, who prefers pink and ribbons and loves Barbie. Jaxon is a tender-hearted bear, new in town, who wants a sweet boy to spend the holidays with. When these two meet it's definitely sweetness overload! I really liked that Jaxon took time to fully communicate with Tracy - expressing the need for honesty and openness. He also enforced safewords and checked in with Tracy often. Tracy has a lot of painful family issues to work through but the two of them seem to be well paired to tackle things. My only complaint would be that I'd have loved it to be longer and more detailed. I really liked the characters and wanted more of their story. A good holiday read with the right amount of sweet and heat!

Unexpected
Not my usual genre. Picked up to see if this romance offered something beyond the cliché machismo and emotional abuse that defines most MF romances. In some ways, it does offer more. The niche language for this subculture is not defined in the book and the reader mostly has to determine meaning from context. I guessed there was a D/s element with no abuse involved and that’s correct. However, I was absolutely unprepared for Tracey (22) to role play a six year old, because the “Princess” gender role absolutely applies to fully adult women, as shown by the very adult Disney jewelry and perfume offerings marketed to that target demographic. During the plot progression, the author made it very clear that Tracey was a consenting adult doing regression role playing, which helped mitigate the potentially creepy factor that he role plays a minor and calls his romantic partner “Daddy.” That might be a trigger warning for some readers. The author was very careful to always present sexual intimacy as activity between 2 legal and consenting adults, which helps with the potential creep out factor. Watching the shift between family dynamic conversations and romance discussions between the romantic leads was somewhat confusing and a little Twilight zone because normally family scripts with young children and romance scripts do not mix. However, the author was careful and well researched enough that I could figure out how Tracey developed regression trauma as a coping skill and used it to help him establish himself in adult relationships after being rejected by his family and especially his dad.
Likes:
-No bullying or consent violations
-The book appropriately acknowledges that Tracey needs some trauma therapy
-HEA
Dislikes:
-The book draws false boundaries between appropriate dress and interests for young girls and adult women. Women who like pink and ruffles are just feminine, not 6 yo. For instance, “Barbircore” fashion is currently trending. Tracey draws the regression line between ruffles for kids and lingerie for adults to define his safe regression space with clothing. It’s true that mostly adult women like lingerie, but ruffly princess victorian dresses and nightgowns are sold to women from birth to beyond retirement. Some of that may be a reflection on society’s view about whether women are considered to ever reach a point of personal emancipation, but whether or not it’s sexist, adult women often have at least some similar styles offered to them as both children and adults.
-Tracey’s boyfriend accepts making decisions for him because Tracey is scared to make decisions instead of helping Tracey learn coping skills so he feels he has a choice about relinquishing his personal agency. Feeling helpless in a situation that overwhelms someone’s coping skills sets a person up to experience crisis and possibly develop PTSD. Tracey is already traumatized and has a tiny social support network, so he needs more coping skills to be capable and confident of his ability to make decisions and self-soothe. It’s like making someone pass a swim test before letting them in the deep end with a float toy. Jaxon can act as a float toy for Tracey, but Tracey needs to learn how to swim for his own good and Jaxon’s peace of mind if there is ever an emergency where Tracey ends up in a situation where he needs to make a decision by himself. I would have liked it if the book had acknowledged that need, to support Tracey in developing coping skills so he can make decisions without Jaxon if he ever need to.
There were a lot of things that made me uncomfortable about this book, but it did acknowledge the need for therapy for Tracey, the relationship wasn’t emotionally abusive and there was no rape. I’m not sure I would recommend the book, but it doesn’t hit my particular triggers so I guess the potential readers will need to make up their own minds.

His Boy to Cuddle is part of a ten book collection called, ‘Naughty or Nice Season Two’. The story stars Tracy, a little, and Jaxon, a Daddy. Even though the blurb is written in first person, the story is told in third person through both Tracy and Jaxon’s pov.

This was okay and cute but pretty typical. Tracy likes Barbies and more girly clothes but figures he'll never find a daddy who likes that. He signs up for the Christmas letter thing and meets Jaxon, new to Boston and with a new job, no time for relationship but for a week will play Daddy. They hit it off like a house on fire (or course) and before long both are lamenting the fact that their relationship will end after a week.
As I said, pretty typical Daddy/little. Moves at the speed of light, both realize the other is perfect right away, Tracy is a virgin and Jaxon is a growly/sweet bear. It was nice that for a change Jaxon wasn't filthy rich like most of these books. He was just a normal guy with a good job, but nothing outrageous.
There were lots of things missing for me as someone else noted. Tracy's sister Luna supposedly supports him but we are only told that. There is little in the way of direct interaction and she convinces him to go home and confront his shitty family for Christmas. But we are just told later in a throw-away line that he left after 10 min. when his father started in on him. But we never see any of that conflict or drama. So it was fine, a nice light easy read but IMHO could have been beefed up a bit on a few parts. (Maybe that's my love of seeing a good family conflict where the idiots are put in their place. LOL)

This book is part of the Naughty or Nice Season 2 Series of 11 books. While having the same general theme, each book is a stand alone. This is the story of Tracy and Jason. Tracy is an inexperienced princess in the making. He is painfully shy and insecure even when not in his little head space. His friend at work encourages him to try the Cuffd app to try and find a daddy. Even though his friend Tate has finally found the daddy of his dreams, Tracy is unsure if that will ever happen for him. Between his shyness and the total erodation of his confidence by his family; it seems like a tall order to fill. Jason has just moved to the city for his new job. He is an alpha and a bear daddy. He wants to find his special princess to take care of. His friend gets him to sign up on Cuffd as he knows no one in town. Tracy is like a little sponge, happy to soak up all the caring and loving that Jason wants to share. The agreement is for a temporary coupling. But we all know how things can change. This is their story. It is well written and easy to enjoy. It is a quick, sweet story that will leave you with a smile.

Jaxon moves to Boston and decides to find a sweet and pretty boy to spend the week before Christmas with so he can cuddle and pamper them. He prefers his Little to like dolls and frilly things. Tracy works in a gift store, trades in collectable dolls and loves wearing frilly clothes while he plays with his dolls. He communicated with Jaxon on the Cuffd application as a response to his letter to Santa and they decide to spend the week together. In this novella, Tracy is a super shy boy who prefers nighties over PJs, has a spectacular vintage Barbie collection and a muscular, bearded Daddy who can’t keep his hands off the prettiest boy he’s ever seen.
I enjoyed this fairly quick read where Jaxon tried to not fall for Tracy but in the end, he couldn't resist him. I loved that he was so careful with Tracy given that he was a virgin and that this had to be special and carefully done. I loved that he tried his best to get Tracy some Christmas presents and that he approached everything with fun and loving care. Easy to read and understand. This book contains mature content of a MM nature in a BDSM-like DDLB relationship.

In short - I don't have the heart to put a two-star review. The story is good. I felt like there was so much missing that could have made the story better and more in line with the series (Season Two specifically). I couldn't get myself into the setting, at all, and that is extremely important to me. I've been to Boston once, in the summer, so I couldn't even picture the date night.
I try very hard to not DNF a story. However, it was short and I was trying to give the characters and their story the benefit of the doubt. There was a section where I felt jerked, yes, literally jerked, from one situation between the characters and a completely different day, time, place and they weren't in the same location anymore. I felt like I had whiplash. Then, I went back and realized there was a chapter change, so I missed that when I swiped the page.
An easy read, yes. A fun read, pretty much. A heavy read, no. Short and could use more, yes. And, that is why I didn't give a two star, because the author left me with wanting more. I was invested in the characters for the short period of time, which is a good thing and hence the three stars.

His Boy To Cuddle is like an extra dose of festive sweetness as daddy, Jaxon, gets his letter to Santa answered by Tracy, a little who likes his nighties pink and frilly whilst playing with his Barbies. It's advertised as only a holiday thing as Jason is new in town and to his job but upon meeting the incredibly shy and introverted younger man, he can't help but fall. Tracy is naturally shy anyway but his complete lack of experience when it comes to relationships and play make him even more nervous but Jaxon's clear and obvious care and joy in being with him makes it so much easier to settle into things.
They are a sweet couple and I enjoyed how everything progresses for them as a couple. It is a shorter story so things progress quickly but I still found it easy to feel what the characters are building together. It's also good that while Tracy has a very poor relationship with his parents, especially his father, he's got love and support from his sister and his best friend.
A wonderful addition to this great series. I love the mix of characters and stories we get from the different authors.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

This book is so so sweet
Oh my gosh this book was absolutely beautiful. You’ve got a young guy he’s so insecure about what he believes and what he feels. And that’s because his parents just haven’t excepted him and take every opportunity to put him down. Thankfully he’s got a beautiful sister and a brilliant best friend.
When is best friend Tate told him to write a letter to Santa at club cluff to see if there are any daddies out there who would like to take care of him over the Christmas period, it’s really hard to explain what he feels and what he needs. But he does reply to one daddy but will he be enough for him??.
Oh my gosh I found his insecurities so hard to read at times. He’s such a beautiful young man who knows what he wants that make him forget his daily troubles. And the daddy he finds is just brilliant everything that he needs. I found this book to be just so cute it really touched my heart.
