What could be better?From USA TODAY and international bestselling authors Maren Smith, Maggie Ryan, Lucky Moon, and Rayanna Jamison comes a swoon-worthy collection of delicious cowboy Daddy Doms, spirited submissives, and lively Littles guaranteed to melt your heart and make your inner Little squeal with Christmas delight.This boxed set includes these four brand new And Spice by Maggie RyanDaddy Saves Christmas by Lucky MoonA Double Daddy Christmas by Rayanna JamisonDaddy's Little Christmas Present by Maren Smith
Fortunate enough to live with my Daddy Dom, I am a Little, coffee fanatic, dog and cat mom, was an administrator for six years at my local BDSM dungeon, and have since become a Utah resident and submissive to the love of my life. An International and USA Bestselling Author several times over, I have penned more than 160 novels, novellas and short stories, and am the author of the Masters of the Castle and Daddy’s Little series.
This collection includes the following four stories:
Sugar and Spice by Maggie Ryan: Hud and Cecilia first meet at the grocery store, but Hud gets a call out for a fire, so he doesn't have a chance to talk to the little brat further. But he's surprised when he finds that she's also a volunteer firefighter as well as his sister's new best friend. I had a few issues with this book. One - why are so many heroines in DDlg stories so incompetent? Am I really supposed to believe that she was so dumb, after all the training it must take to be an active volunteer firefighter, that she would go to fight a fire, and then endanger herself and all of her colleagues in order to save a bunny hiding in a bramble? Not realizing that the damn thing would just hop away when it was good and ready because that's where they normally live and they know full well how to walk around, especially since the fire was not surrounding the bush? And then she placed herself in the way of a falling tree? Stellar work there. But as a follow-up to that, I definitely have a problem that the main chief, essentially her boss's boss, would discipline one of his firefighters with non-consensual spanking. She never truly agreed, not until she decided she wanted to date him, and then she asked him to spank her (because that's really the only way he would engage with her at that point, the request functioning as a sort of apology). I guess I didn't really like the dynamic.
Daddy Saves Christmas by Lucky Moon: Isla is a party planner who finds herself fulfilling a request to plan a Christmas party in Liberty, which is a community for Daddies and their Littles, which is perfect for the closeted Little (in terms of having the opportunity to be Little, rather than not admitting it at all). At the airport on the way, she meets Bjorn, who is also headed to Liberty as a veterinarian. But hardly anything goes right and Isla finds herself drowning in stress, which Bjorn can help with if he'll only open his heart to the magic of the season.
A Double Daddy Christmas by Rayanna Jamison: Paisley is grieving the loss of her mother and goes to her best friend Jax for some comfort, only to find him with his (surprise!) boyfriend, Weston. Weston is a little more dominant than the other two, and he definitely takes charge. But Paisley isn't sure where she stands and doesn't think she's a permanent part of this relationship. Not gonna lie - skimmed through this one. I'm not a fan of most menage in DDlg relationships and I really don't like DDlb stories. Personal preference. I got the gist of it though. Not for me, but I'm sure it hits the spot for others.
Daddy's Little Christmas Present by Maren Smith: Stace is escaping a bad situation with her young daughter and ends up at her aunt's rental home next door to gruff lumberjack-lookalike Brock. She's supposed to be interviewing for the job of his father's caretaker, but that doesn't go so well. He can't seem to stay away from her, though, and she needs all the help she can get. I liked this story a lot, but there were a lot of big plot mistakes, such as calling his father his grandfather at some point, and not being clear about her ex-husband (he's in prison or in the funeral home and those are two very different things!). At one point she's looking at him on the porch and thinks about how he's in his bed on the first floor. She says she's a disaster in the kitchen and sets things on fire but she bakes outstanding pies. There's also liberal use of a belt when I think his hand would do, especially since she indicates she never engaged in spanking before. I would have liked to have seen her in-laws get their comeuppance so that she could get all her stuff, including her dignity and spine back.
My favorite story in the collection was the second book, Daddy Saves Christmas. I've read the story where Liberty is first set up, when June is squatting on the land and Nate and Edan have to come together to become her Daddies (Tamed by her Daddies). So I had an idea of what was going on. If I hadn't read that book, I might be a little confused. However, it was nice to see Liberty again as it starts to develop, and I liked the idea of a Little who actually had a career and who needed someone who could help her engage her Little side while still praising her for her adult side (in which she was perfectly competent).
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
The book is four Christmas-themed novellas with Daddy doms and their babygirls.
Sugar And Spice by Maggie Ryan SPANK ME, MR. CANDY MAN
What a fun story that will bring Hud Zuckerman and Cecilia Weber together. From seeing Cecilia in the grocery store trying to reach a bag of candy, he was smitten. But, a call to a fire had Hud leaving before he could learn her name. After the fire, one volunteer is missing, and when a search has Hud finding her, it is a shock to see it is the same girl. He tells her she needs a spanking—and it won't be long before he delivers it.
I liked the characters, their interactions, and how these two form a relationship. Hud tells her she must ask for her spanking—and eventually, she will. There is chemistry between them, and even their friends and family see it.
"I've been waiting for you my entire life, babygirl."
Daddy Saves Christmas by Lucky Moon AGE-PLAY RESCUE SQUAD
Two people, Bjorn Larsen and Isla McIntosh will meet at Liberty, a place where Bigs and Littles are free to be themselves. Bjorn will be there to tend some of the animals for Haze, and Isla will put on the Christmas party. Bjorn hates Christmas, and Isla loves it. How will two people with different feelings for Christmas get along? Do these two have a chance of a DD/lg relationship since they share a cottage?
"I can be your Daddy, babygirl."
The story will have many Bigs and Littles at Liberty for Christmas. Isla is planning the celebration, and Bjorn will step in and insist that she not overdo it and take time for herself. While things don't always happen as you plan, everyone can appreciate something special about the situation. Bjorn needs healing from a sadness around Christmas, and Isla needs a Daddy who will love her and look out for what is best for her.
"You deserve this. You spend all your time making other people feel special. It's only right that someone returns the favor."
A Double Daddy Christmas by Rayanna Jamison TWO OF THEM—DOUBLE DADDIES
Wow, I'm impressed with Ms. Rayanna Jamison's unique, page-turning story. What starts on a sad note, the death of Paisley Grace's mother will have a significant turn when she heads next door to see her friend—aka occasional lover when she is in town. She will walk in on what appears to be a compromising scene of Jaxon Shepard and Weston Everett—together. While they are a newer couple, they are both bisexual, and Jaxon has shared with Weston about how he 'Daddy Doms' Paisley. It is just enough information for Weston to take charge—and does he ever.
The story will start with a threesome in Jaxon's home but soon moves to Weston's place. Along with his home comes Alpha Daddies rules—and discipline. They will be together for more than two weeks, the three of them, but Paisley believes she is the third wheel and needs to leave the new couple and return to New York. How far will the two daddies allow Paisley to go? Do they have a chance for a future?
"I don't do part-time, and I definitely don't do role play. In my house, I'm the daddy all the time. You're about to find out what it's like to have two full-time Daddies for Christmas."
Coming mid-February 2022 will be more Three Rivers stories, starting with Down Home Daddy (available for pre-order)
Daddy's Little Christmas Present by Maren Smith DADDY WILL ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF IT
The story is a very emotional tale that will bring Stace Malone and her daughter Lily to Myrtle Creek to live in a house owned by her Aunt Maggie. She is supposed to interview for a caregiver position for Brock Sanderson's father. Everything goes wrong from the time she arrives at the address given, and she is sure Brock is done with her. What will Stace and Lily do?
My heart breaks from Stace's mental and verbal abuse from her inlaws. She is broken, feels like a failure, and has no self-esteem. When Brock comes to her rescue, it doesn't take him long for his Daddy Dom to kick in and what to help this babygirl. They each fight the attraction, but the chemistry is there. Brock isn't afraid to take her in hand, spanking her and showing her that Daddy is in charge.
Brock: Have you ever had a Daddy Dom before? Stace: My ex sometimes called himself Daddy, but not until I got pregnant and only when we were talking about Lily. How do you mean it when you say it? Brock: Baby. You trip every one of my Daddy triggers. You have practically from the moment I saw you. When I find a special person, like you, it makes the part of me I call my inner Daddy Dom go crazy. I want to protect you, defend you, shelter you. My Daddy half aches to comfort and care for you. I can be stern; I will paddle you little bottom every time you earn it, but I'll do other things too. I can also be nurturing.
While Brock is firm, doesn't back down, punishes Stace, he also lifts her up, shows her that he respects her, and refuses to allow her to belittle herself. He works on building her self-esteem that her inlaws have disparaged. It takes her time to accept that Brock truly cares about her.
I had the opportunity to read two of the four stories and have reviewed them here:
Sugar and Spice by Maggie Ryan
Hud and Cecelia first meet in the grocery, then again during a fire. She gets an eye opening experience as to his dynamic and after chatting with her employee (and his sister, whoops, surprise), Cici decides to go for it with him, letting his Daddy rule. This was a short story, but I really liked their back and forth and thought they characters were fully developed and their romance and HEA was very satisfying.
A Double Daddy Christmas by Rayanna Jamison
Paisley comes home for mom's funeral at Christmas time and in her grief decides to hit up her friend with benefits, Jax. When she discovers he is now in a relationship with Weston, she figures her attempt to assuage her grief with some sexy times is now gone. What she wasn't expecting was both of them offering their services to make her forget. It's hard to see how this thing can last after the holidays are over, especially after a Christmas morning discovery. But the guys are determined to prove her wrong. A short but satisfying tale with a HEA.

Fantastic book! I read Rayanna and Maggie's stories early and fell in love. I finished Lucky and Maren's stories last night and fell deeper in love!
A Double Daddy Christmas~ Rayanna Jamison
Poor Paisley, losing your mama so soon after losing her dad, that's tough.
She goes next door to her friend Jax's house to find a little comfort, but finds so much more than she could've dreamed of.
What's better than a Daddy.....two Daddies! Jax and Weston (such a hot name btw) together are absolute perfection, but add Paisley into the mix....🔥🔥🔥🔥
My favorite part of the book (aside from the end where I seriously cried) was the kitchen scene. Poor Weston lol, I didn't think he'd survive.
Sugar and Spice~ Maggie Ryan
Absolutely love love love Cecilia! Gumdrop jumper, pastries maker, jackrabbit saver, volunteer firefighter and best of all....she keeps Hud on his toes lol.
Hud just melted my heart! He's a tough softy (yes, that's possible lol). He's a sexy volunteer firefighter and the best Uncle to little Daisy. And of course he's got the best sidekick, Beau.
Although this is a compilation my review is only on A Double Daddy Christmas by Rayanna Jamison. This author has been hit and miss for me. Some of her works have made me so angry I vowed never to read her again, others I've been surprised at how much I enjoyed it. This story has definitely come down in the enjoyed column, although there were things I didn't like. In town following the death of her mother, Paisley starts a relationship with her friend with benefit, Jaxon, and his new boyfriend, Weston. I liked the emotion surrounding the relationship of the three characters and there were some nice lighter moments. However, to be so distraught as to seek out something to ease the pain the night of her mothers funeral, to being happy and carefree in a relationship with the two men with hardly a sad thought so quickly I found weird and I would seriously wonder about a person like that. Change the reason for being in town and I think I would enjoy this story much more.
Double Daddy Christmas by Rayanna Jamison A good read. However, it's not a menage per say. It has MM & MMF scenes so it might not be for everyone. I myself found some struggle reading the book . I liked men always to be the dominant and women submissive. While it was for the most part, there was scenes of a man submitting to man and spanking him. Not my favorite part but it was well written that it made the reading enjoyable.
Sugar and Spice by Maggie Ryan The story started really strong and more power exchange was expected. Keeping with the Christmas spirit, the HEA ending was so much happy and kind of unrealistic for my liking . However, it is still a good read.

Double Daddy Christmas Review for Jax & Paisley are childhood best friends that grew up next to each other in a small town, they never could quiet make a relationship work beyond friends with benefits. Paisley left the country life for the big city. She is back to lay her momma to rest & she needed Jax to make the pain go away. Momma Grace was a second mother to Jax, Sunday dinners continued after Paisley left. Paisley was stunned when she finds Weston at Jax when she walked into the house, and that’s when everything changes for them all. Only problem can Jax & Weston convenience Paisley she’s not the third wheel before Christmas is over. Note: This story may not be for everyone but to me love is love.
So far I've read Rayanna and Maren's stories. I really enjoyed them both.
Rayanna's story was a first for me, I've never read a MMF DDlg with this kind of command order. It was incredibly spicy and lots of fun. I cannot wait to continue this series with book #1's release in February.
Maren's story was super sweet and pulled at all the heart strings. Nothing like a single mom down on her luck finding her hero and Daddy next door. I would've loved for this story to continue just a bit more to see some karma inflicted on some people and see more of Brock being a Daddy in both manners (I'm just greedy like that)
Forgive me if I don’t do this review correctly, total ARC virgin here.
I generally enjoy MMF and D/switch/s. This one left me wanting more depth from the characters. Their actions/reactions all felt very shallow for people who had known each other for as long as they had.
I’ve read others by RayannaJamison and come away wanting more - of the story, the characters, the scenes, the emotions; unfortunately, this story is not one of those.
For an uncomplicated Christmas offering, this may be for you.

Double Daddy Christmas: If you want a book that starts off steamy right out the gate, you have it! Paisley is having the worst day of her life and decides to ask Jax to help her take it all away. She doesn’t count on Weston being at his place offering to help. I can understand all of her misgivings and questions surrounding the relationship and get why she has trouble believing she can be a part of it. This is a totally believable story and well written. You get all the feels and a happy ending. Loved it!

What do you get when you put 4 epic authors together? One book with four stories that I could not put down and didn't want to end. Each story in this book has all the elements for a great story. I don't think I could pick out a favorite even if I tried. The authors used such uniqueness in each story made it easy to fall in love with believable characters and places. All the Daddies in here are swoon-worthy let me tell you, my kindle got a little too hot reading these. Take a chance and check this book out!
*spoilers * After her mother's funeral, Paisley just can't stand the silence. She is only in old home town for a few weeks and decided she needed a little stress relief. Her best friend with benefits lives right next door and Jax know she will need his support. What she doesn't count on is their old high school resident Weston to be nekkid on Jax couch! Oh I love the dynamic of these three! Weston is such a stern Dom and Jax knows Paisley so well and they both give that girl what she needs! Yum!

This is a review of A Double Daddy Christmas within this box set - I loved this short story. Paisley, Jax, Weston are great characters. Paisley is having the worst day, all she wants is to escape from herself with her best friend. But Jax springs a surprise on her which is going to totally change her life. Great characters, a captivating story with great detail and an engaging plot. I highly recommend this book, box set and author.

I thoroughly enjoyed each and everyone of these stories. I laughed and enjoyed the antics of each of the Littles and there were times when I cried with them and their sufferings that they had to go through. I loved that each one had a happily ever after and had a daddy that was there to love them and protect them from then on. I highly recommend this collection of stories.
I am voluntarily leaving my review for this book and this is my honest and fair opinion.
Suger and Spice - Maggie Ryan A fun sexy quick read. I am not a huge Daddy dom fan, but enjoyed this story. The interactions between the main characters made me laugh.
A Double Daddy christmas- Rayanna Jamison What I enoyed about this book was the relationship between the characters. It was a different type of menage, which made it an interesting and very steamy read. It was very light on the Daddy Dom side, which was right up my alley.
A Double Daddy Christmas Paisley comes home because her mother has died and she is sad, alone and needs her friend with benefits Jax who lives next door only he is not alone. Jax has fallen in love with Weston and Paisley thinks that is it and she should go home to New York but the guys think otherwise. This is a very steamy, very cute, sometimes sad, sometimes funny story about a throuple who are brought together by a sad event but end up together at the perfect time of year.
I enjoyed this Christmas romance. It’s an easy read to wind down with from the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season. The interactions between Paisley, Jaxson and Weston were sweet, funny and yummy! And Weston-I want him to be my daddy. I hope these three will be mentioned in the next book. Grab this book, you’l be happy you did. I received a free copy of this book and am leaving a review voluntarily.
What a great collection of stories. I so enjoyed them all. I adored the characters in this one particular book. I felt a connection with them. I have to say man I got sucked into this collection of stories before the end of chapter 1 in the first book and I did not come up for air until the end of the book.

Forever A Third Wheel Paisley and Jaxon were friends with benefits. Paisley was back home because her mom had died and she was back for the funeral and such. Jaxon ws having Paisley come over to his house to decompress after the funeral and everything. But when she got there, not only was Jaxon (only in his underwear) there but so was Weston (naked as a jaybird). It did not look like what she was expecting but turned out exactly what she needed. This book was beautifully written and explained a lot of emotions that people did not think of. Loved this book and can not wait to see what comes next.

I read two of the four books in this anthology. That is why I gave it a 3⭐️
Sugar and Spice by Maggie Ryan was pretty cute and it made me want cookies 😁
Daddy Saves Christmas by Lucky Moon - I couldn’t get into it.
A Double Daddy Christmas by Rayanna Johnson - I tried but the situation was not for me.
Daddy’s Little Christmas Present by Maren Smith - LOVED it! The characters, the build up, the setting, the Daddy . I would actually like to revisit these characters in another book.
This book had the potential to be something more interesting. The characters were a little bit flat and the story was predictable. The "hot" scenes weren't too hot after all and it was lacking passion. On the other hand, it was quick, not typos, and if you are in a Christmas mood, it's ok.

Paisley came home for her mothers funeral and then afterwards she went back to her family home and felt very lonely and called up Jax to see if she could come over and he said yes because they were friends with benefits. What Paisley found out when she got there was that Jax and Weston had become lovers. They invited her to stay. Enjoy this book and see what happens next. Very interesting story.
A young woman with a child moves to a town next to a man and his father. She has been put down all her life and he is looking for someone to love. Absolutely wonderful story. Loved the story. It was so sweet and tender. The story ends with a wonderful hea. Can't say enough about this book. It was good!
4 different stories / 4 different happy endings One is a MMF story. I don’t normally like MM stories but this one was really good. All 4 stories have a different story line but kept it interesting. The authors did a really great job and the book was well worth the price. Thank You
At first I was a little worried because things happened very quickly but as the story continued and the characters developed I truly enjoyed it. This is a MMF romance, it’s lighthearted with no major angst or drama and was a great way to kick off the Christmas reading season!

All 4 of these stories were so good. I've read 3 of the authors before and while I've heard of Lucky Moon, I don't believe I've read anything by her. The stories were so good and very easy to follow. I'm going to be rereading this one a lot!!! Loved it all!
These were wonderful stories, though I would have appreciated a heads-up that one includes MM action. Not my cup of tea. My favorite being Maren's contribution.
I loved this book! I loved the relationship between Weston and Jax and also the relationship between Paisley and both of the guys. This was a quick read and gave me all the feels!

The story starts off so sad and almost ended on a sad note as well, but we had our happily ever after. It was a dynamic I hadn't come across yet but I really enjoyed it. Their relationship was an interesting one.
