A single dad, a doctor, and a one-night-stand. Is there room in their lives and hearts for one another?

Corey
Stress is my middle name. I'm a single dad and a newly qualified teacher, so it’s hard to find time for myself. What I didn't expect from an adult party is a man who allows me to relax fully. What starts as a hook-up becomes so much more, but is a ready made family a step too far for Spence?

Spence
Working crazy shifts at the hospital, I don't have much time for romance. Meeting Corey, the beautiful boy who's happy to call me Daddy, changes everything. Only it’s not just his heart I have to win over but his five-year-old daughter's too. How hard can it be?

C is for Comfort is the story of two men learning that life is about more than work and that cuddling can fix everything. It's the third of three steamy, low angst novels, which follow each of the ABC triplets as they find love. You can read Archie and Blake's stories in A is for Aftercare and B is for Beg.

An age-gap M/M romance.

A single dad, a doctor, and a one-night stand. Is there room in their lives and hearts for one another?
Corey is stressed out and overwhelmed. He is a single dad, raising his 5-year-old daughter, with the help of his two brothers. He's also a new art teacher, struggling to deal with an intense workload. He sees no end in sight. Then he reluctantly agrees to go to a "play party" with his brothers, Archie and Blake. We visited these parties at Hamish's house in book #1. He's not looking for a hookup, just a chance to get out. When he meets Spence, Corey changes his mind about a lot of things and decides to just go for it. Their encounter is incredible, and Corey and Spense both more than merely "wants" for their "meet ups" to somehow continue.

Spence thinks that his one night with Corey is incredible also, but he sees no way it could possibly ever happen again...could it??? Spence is a busy doctor, and his changing shifts make having a relationship difficult. But when the men unexpectedly meet again, Spence decides to take a chance and suggests that they meet up for another night. Soon, they are spending stolen moment possible together, in between their work and family responsibilities. For Spence, as a ""Daddy Dom", he gets to enjoy taking care of Corey and helping to ease some of his stress. For Corey, Spence helps him relax like no one else ever has before. He also supports Corey and helps give him the confidence to believe he is doing a good job at work.

Things are going along great for them, and what had started as casual hookups begins to turn into something much more serious. But Corey has Lexi to think about, and Spence is the first person he has dated seriously since Lexi’s mother left them. Spence and Corey now have to figure out if they can transition their relationship into something more, and if there is a chance that the three of them can become a family.

I have really enjoyed this trilogy. The books do diffidently need to be read in order, as the stories seem to all blend together and the characters wander in and out of each other's stories. Corey and Spence are such a likable pair, as are the other two paired couples, and their relationship develops nicely and believably here. This is a fun and sexy trilogy. I still believe you could and really should do something with the remaining 25 letters of the alphabet, Ms. Davidson.

4.5 stars. What a wonderful series! Three stories about a triplet, three men who find their HEA (bless you)
I was so curious about Corey, he’s the quiet one, timid, serious.

Corey is an art teacher and a single dad, well not really single, he lives with his two brothers Archie and Blake, they all take care of Lexi, his five-year-old daughter.

The triplet got an invitation to a kink party. After arriving Archie and Blake are quickly involved with other attendees. Corey sits alone, strained, as usual.

Spence is also at this kink party and watches Corey sitting alone, looking miserable, Spence is a Doctor and a Daddy Dom, the need to take care of this guy is strong.
And oh dear, does the boy need care, they have an intense night and split ways after.

Thank goodness fate has other plans for them, so they meet again. Spence easily got the shortcut to Corey’s heart, now he has to find his way through the maze to Lexi’s.

Watching both men together was like watching the art of dance, beautifully flawless movements, both come undone because of the other.
The way of writing was awesomely done, for example how voices are described, I could hear Spence’s and got shivers. Their journey is wonderful, steamy, and emotional. Their connection is strong and solid. I was getting emotional more than once and got blurry eyes.
Besides Corey, Lexi, and Spence’s stories, Blake’s and Archie’s are running parallel. I did read their journeys and oh boy to read about them again brings up all the joy and hurt. It’s all marvelously entwined by the author!
Corey and Spence are getting their most HEA! Whoop!!

A funny thing here, with the first book I thought it was unmatchable, after the second I thought this two are unmatchable… little did I know. This third was as amazing, ALL the feelings.

I couldn't stand Corey. I didn't like him in B is for Beg and that dislike got worse while reading his own story. He acted like he was the only single parent in the world when he had more of a support system (his horrible parents, Archie and Blake) than most have. He meets Spence - an emergency room doctor - and I swear you'd think being an art teacher was more stressful than being a physician who saw death on a regular basis.

My biggest issue with Corey was how he treated Blake, the middle triplet. Blake was always there for Corey's daughter, Lexi. He picked her up from school almost every single day. He cooked dinner for her most nights. He played dress-up with her often. You'd think Corey would appreciate all that considering he rarely did any of it because he was 'stressed' over his job. Instead, Corey thought Blake was lazy and wouldn't amount to much professionally because he didn't go the college route like Corey and Archie did.

Blake was already doing almost everything with and for his niece, but that wasn't enough for Corey, apparently. More than once he guilted Blake into changing his plans so he could go to Spence's for a booty call.

The thing I hated the most about Corey was how he allowed their parents to criticize Blake and he didn't really try to defend him. He also told them something that wasn't his story to tell.

I loved Spence, and I swear I tried to like Corey even a little bit. Unfortunately, I never could. He came across as a whiny, needy, using doormat who allowed everybody to run all over him, including his five-year-old daughter.

I'm obviously the minority as most readers seemed to like him.

“C is for Comfort” is the final book in the The Alphabet of Desire series and I’m sad to see the series finished. Although I’m disappointed to say I didn’t love this installment as much as the other two, I found Corey to be judgemental, especially towards Blake (just like their parents, who I couldn’t stand in the prior books) and just really unlikable for most of the book. He had help from everyone and still managed to be whiny and came off selfish at times to me. As for Spencer I liked him from the prior books, so I knew I would like him from the start and he didn’t disappoint. And I loved how Lexi didn’t immediately take to Spence, she had to get used to the idea of her Dad having someone else in his life besides her. Overall I’m not sure if I truly liked them together as a couple but I’m definitely in the minority.

I give this book 3 stars.

I think Cory is the one I can connect with the most in this series and it's a surprise, because he wasn't as interesting for me as the other two brother. But here we are, with Daddy Spence - and OMG, it's not a secret that daddies are my weekest point, so hell yeah, hello Daddy Spence, glad to meet you.

It was really sweet story, loved Corey and his relationship with his daughter and his brothers too, Corey is a cutie pie who is in a need of a Daddy Dom. Wow, loved the scenes when Corey and Spence got together, they were so hot! And the best, Corey wasn't overthinking, he said what was in his mind. He wanted to get laid? He said it. He wanted it right now? Go ahead, he called/texted Spence right away. Loved it. No pussyfooting, right to the action.

Spence was really good character, he has the biggest heart and he was so patient with Lexi too. Aww, and the dates they went on, and cuddling in bed or on the sofa, and oh gosh, the afterglow when they were stuck together and didn't wanted to separate, ahhh, loved it.

Awesome series, loved reading about Archie, Blake and Corey and their love interests. Everyone got their special HEA and it was perfect.

Such a sweet and unique premise

When Colette first started talking about this series I was fascinated. A: because the covers are GORGEOUS. B.) each book follows a triplet, and C). Light bdsm with Daddy kink. All three books and boys have their own journey and it’s neat to read the second and third seeing that all three of their journeys follow the same timeline. It’s low angst and just all around sweet. I especially loved this third one because of the addition of Lexi. I really really enjoyed this series and think Colette knocked it out of the park to write and release them all the way she did. I’m sad to say goodbye.

This is the third book about the ABC triplets and I have loved them all but I think Corey and Spencer are my favourite couple. Corey is really sensitive and feels the world on his shoulders and struggles with putting himself first. I liked that when meets Spencer at the kink party they initially connects emotionally. They have lots of physical chemistry too. Spencer is good for Corey and helps him gain more confidence and allow himself selfcare. I thought this was such a lovely story and I loved reading it. This whole series has been so well written and shown that dom/daddy kink can be sweet and sensitive and not all about explosive sex.

Oh my! I knew this would be my absolute favorite book in the Alphabet of Desire series and I was totally right, I loved Corey and Spence's story. When I met Spencer at Hamish party I just needed a night away from home and my daughter Lexi, being a first year teacher and a single parent is a lot of responsibility even with the help of my brothers. Spence was everything I needed for a night and his help with just letting go and just be, was nice so when we ran into each other again, we decided maybe we should have a fling since our night together wasunforgettable for both of us. But somewhere along the way things changed, feelings developed and maybe a future with the three of us together could be a possibilty too.

Corey's romance had a much softer, sweeter tone than the others in this series, and I loved the change of pace. It made sense to me that Corey, a busy, stressed out dad, would end up with a Daddy who wanted to ease his burdens, and Spencer was particularly devoted to making him relax. From their very first encounter, I could tell their journey would be much less about their shared kinks and more about learning to lean on each other for support. I was also happy to see that Lexi's role in this story was front and center, because her acceptance of Spence was just as important as Corey's. As Spencer and Corey made time for each other in their busy schedules, I was struck by how natural and easy their chemistry felt. Spencer never failed to send Corey to a blissed-out headspace, and the two of them were so sweet and affectionate towards each other that I knew it was love before they even said the words. Lexi took longer to warm up to the idea of a new man in her and Corey's lives, but not even she could resist his positive attitude for long. I kept waiting to see if some big angsty drama would put an end to their relationship before they'd given it a real shot, but much to my delight, this story didn't have anything of the sort. Instead, I got to watch two adorable men connect, fall in love, and get to know each other's families while exploring a delightful Daddy/boy dynamic.

**I voluntarily read an ARC of this book. This review expresses my honest thoughts and opinions.

This final episode of the ABC trilogy lived up to its predecessors. Corey’s story is just as emotional and engaging as his brothers’ but he and his love interest face a whole different list of challenges than the other books tackled.

Corey was actually a little challenging to like, at the beginning of the book. Seeing his life through his own eyes, and not his brothers’ filters, made Corey feel a bit judgmental and whiny. He very much felt like his parents’ child, which is not a great thing, considering what we saw of his parents in the prior book. But, as his relationship with Spence grows, and Corey realizes he needs to live for himself just as much, or more so, than he does for others, he becomes a much different, and very likeable, character.

Again, a book with very mild kink, but the D/s dynamic is strong. Corey needs the support of a strong, but not overwhelming, Dom who can respect his boundaries; Spence needs to see that maybe there’s more to life than shifts at the A&E and the occasional kink party and bar hookup. The two characters connect immediately when they meet, and both seem to follow a similar evolution of their needs, that helps their relationship grow into something solid – even with the 5 year old princess, Lexi.

I’m sorry to see these books end – the style of the writing was wonderful and the characters’ internal dialogues were serious, but not unnecessarily angsty in showing the reader how the characters were struggling with the changes in their lives.

Beautiful books – definitely strongly recommend.

Oh. My. God. This may be my favorite Colette book ever. Just enough feels to get the tears going a bit, but not enough to be off putting.
I identify a lot with Corey. I raised 4 amazing, crazy kids, and I truly understand his stress and feelings of inadequacy. He tries so hard to be everything to everyone. He just doesn’t understand how wonderful he is.
Spence is not quite imposing, but rather impressive. He recognized Corey’s need and met it perfectly. Luckily for us, it wasn’t just one and done!
I honestly loved every word. Well written as ever with tremendous characters. Many of us could used a Daddy like Spence in our lives!

**ARC Review**

WOW!!!...I'm so freaking glad I was able to read this series. Corey the last brother to find love was sweet and perfect. A single dad trying to find his way. He really need some care/comfort in his life. In comes Daddy Spencer. Their connection was intense, steamy and oh so emotional...mannnnn the cuddles...just loved it. I really love age/gap romances and this one didn't disappoint. Thanks Colette for this journey with the brothers. I really got that kink fix with all three books.

In this book we get the third and final brother’s version of the events in the series. It’s really interesting reading it knowing the things that are going on between and behind scenes now with the other two brothers and their guys. I recommend reading them as close together as possible for this reason so that one stacks onto the other in your mind, creating the whole picture. I love all of the main characters in this series and their varying ways to be boys and doms, and the unique relationships they all have with each other. I’m sad to reach the end but I know I will be reading them all again!

C is for Comfort is the third book in the Alphabet of Desire series by Colette Davison. This book is about the third triplet, Corey. This book is about how Corey finds love with Daddy Spencer. You've met them and Lexi (Corey's daughter) already in A is for Aftercare and B is for Beg (f you haven't read those.... why haven't you?! 😉 They are really good!!!)

I loved this book so much. Their story was sweet, sexy, hot, full of feels and very well written. I really recommend this book, this whole series. It was an amazing series and I loved how the triplets found love with a group of friends.

FR- Alors alors... alors...une fois de plus je ne pensais pas lire les deux autres tomes de cette trilogie mais j'ai été tellement prise par les personnages que j'avais absolument envie de connaitre l'histoire de Corey et Spence.

J'étais assez intriguée par l'histoire de Corey. C'était le troisième frère dont il me restait à découvrir l'histoire et je dois dire que bien que j'ai aimé ce roman, Blake reste mon triplé préféré.

Il va être assez difficile de chronique ce troisième tome sans  répéter ce que j'ai déjà dit.

Ce qui est clair, c'est que les trois romans doivent être lus dans l'ordre. Ils se déroulent en simultanés et certains éléments développés dans certains tomes sont à peine effleuré dans d'autres.  Pour ma part, ayant lu les trois tomes relativement à la suite je n'ai pas été dérangée.

J'ai beaucoup aimé que, comme les triplés eux même, les trois romans soient différents. J 'ai aimé que l'auteure explore différents aspects des ses Doms. Ils sont tous les quatre complètement différents et bien que Spence et Gabe soient tous les deux des Daddy, ils sont différents dans leur manière d’appréhender leur relation avec leur soumis.

Bizarrement, ce tome est à la fois celui qui s'éloigne le plus du milieu BDSM tout en étant celui avec le soumis le plus.. soumis... je ne sais pas trop comment expliquer ça mais certaines scènes entres Spence et Corey m'ont semble plus hard que celles des autres frères de part les accessoires utilisés et la position de Corey. Mais c'était uniquement lorsqu'ils étaient aux soirées d'Hamish. Je pense que je ne suis pas super claire... mais en tout cas, la relation entre Spence et Corey est celle qui m'a semblé le plus "classique". Encore une fois, le fait que Spence appelle Corey "Sweet Boy" et non pas "Boy" tout court m'a bien aidé et j'ai pu facilement faire abstraction du Daddy.

J'ai aimé en apprendre un peu plus sur Corey qui était resté le triplé le plus mystérieux, le plus en retrait. On a encore un bon aperçu de la relation des triplés. Ils sont définitivement très proches et sont là l'un pour l'autre. J'ai vraiment aimé la relation entre les trois hommes et le fait qu'elle soit encore mise en avant dans ce tome.

Spence, lui est un peu en retrait de son groupe d'amis du fait de son travail mais j'ai bien aimé les passages où ils étaient tous ensemble.

Comme je le disais, même si j'ai beaucoup aimé l'histoire de Corey, que j'ai trouvé sa relation avec Spence vraiment mignonne, Blake reste mon personnage préféré. J'ai encore versé ma petite larme lors des passages le concernant.

En résumé, une très bonne trilogie à lire en entier. Des personnages très attachants (surtout Blake^^). Colette Davison explore différents aspects du BDSM avec toujours autant de talent.







ENG- So well well well... well once again I didn't expect to read the other two books in this trilogy but I was so taken by the characters that I absolutely wanted to know the story of Corey and Spence.

I was quite intrigued by Corey's story. It was the third brother whose story I had yet to discover and I have to say that although I liked this novel, Blake's remains my favorite .

It is going to be quite difficult to review this third volume without repeating what I have already said.

What is clear is that the three novels must be read in order. They take place simultaneously and certain elements developed in some volumes are barely evoqued on in others. For my part, having read the three volumes relatively to the continuation I was not disturbed.

I really liked that, like the triplets themselves, the three novels were different. I liked that the author explores different aspects of  Doms. The four of them are completely different and although Spence and Gabe are both Daddy's, they are different in the way they approach their relationship with their submissive.

Strangely, this volume is both the one that moves the furthest from the BDSM world while being the one  the most submissive ...  I don't really know how to explain that but certain scenes between Spence and Corey  seem harder to me than those of the other brothers because of the accessories used and Corey's position. But that was only when they were at Hamish parties. I 'm pretty sure I'm not super clear ... but anyway, the relationship between Spence and Corey is the one that struck me as the most "classic". Once again, the fact that Spence calls Corey "Sweet Boy" and not just "Boy" helped me a lot and I was easily able to ignore the "Daddy".

I enjoyed learning a little more about Corey who had remained the most mysterious, the most withdrawn triplets. We still have a good overview of the triplets relationship. They are definitely very close and are there for each other. I really liked the relationship between the three men and the fact that it is still featured in this volume.

Spence is a bit removed from his group of friends because of his work, but I liked the parts where they were all together.

Like I said, even though I really liked Corey's story, that I love his relationship with Spence, Blake is still my favorite character. I still shed some tear during the passages concerning him.

In short, a very good trilogy to read in full. Very endearing characters (especially Blake ^^). Colette Davison explores different aspects of BDSM with as much talent as ever.

*4.5*
C is for Comfort is a perfect ending for this fantastic series from Colette Davison, I have loved it from the very beginning. Its such a novel idea having triplets, one as the MC per book, but also having them taking place at the same time. Very interesting how the stories interacted and overlapped, getting to see reactions to words and events from multiple POV's.
Corey now gets his HEA with Spence who he met at a kink party that he goes to with his brothers, Archie and Blake. Both are busy men with work taking much of their time but Corey also has his five year old daughter to care for. What Spence is able to give him is a safe place to let go and be ptruly cared for, in a way that only a Daddy Dom really can.
What starts as quick hook ups soon takes on another role as it becomes clear they both want and need more. Spence is wonderful, caring and so supportive of Corey, wanting to make sure the younger man is taking care of himself as well as his Daughter, Lexi. Corey is a sweet guy who is drowning in his responsibilities, needing to give his all in everything but Spence is the one who shows him that's not possible without burning out or dropping the ball somewhere.
I love these two together. It may not be the kinkiest of relationships but what they share is no more or less important as it works for them and is a need that brings them both peace and satisfaction which shines through Colette's writing. All of the characters involved make me smile but especially Lexi, her personality as a five year old is so strong and I can only imagine how much trouble she'll cause as a teenager.
I cannot recommend this story, and the series overall, highly enough. The characters, story and premise all drew me and from the start and I loved every page. It's sad that it's finish but it's also a perfect trilogy. I just hope we get to check in with them all some time in the future.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is book 3 in the Alphabet of Desire series. Its not necessary to read book 1, A is for Aftercare, or book 2, B is for Beg, before this one. All three books run concurrently, so you get these guys falling fast and falling HARD, in all three books, and I really loved that! It was great watching Archie, Blake and Corey falling in love from each of the other brother's perspective, it really was.

Corey is the last to fall, and he does so beautifully! And I think, he's the most emotional of the three brothers, but doesn't always show it. Spence, though, he can read Corey like a book, or a painting, very quickly and Spence calls Corey out a time or two.

Corey wants what's best for his daughter, Lexi, and his brothers have been a godsend in helping him do that, but now Archie and Blake are leaving, he's not sure he can cope; at home or at work. But Spence? Spence helps him get clarity. He helps him see that just because the brothers won't be living together, they are still close, and they will always be. Spence helps Corey to relax about work, teaching is a stressful enough job, so adding your own pressure on yourself? Recipe for disaster, especially for a first year teacher.

Spence's job is stressful too, he's an A&E doctor, so he knows all about pressure. But Corey helps HIM see that he needs something more than a hook up every now and then. Corey helps Spence see he needs a family, even if he didn't know he did. He has his sister and her kids, but with Corey and Lexi, Spence sees he needs more; wants more.

It's not heavy on the BDSM, more the care a Daddy gives. It's smexy and sweet, and emotional. I cried a bit, at Corey, and I don't quite know why!

It's been fun watching these guys, all seven of them, fall hard and fall fast. In ways they did not see coming, at all! That they run concurrently was different, but I liked it once I realised that's how they were written. It's different, I do enjoy different.

All three books are wonderful reads with book 2, Beg, being my favourite. If you enjoy low angst books, I would HIGHLY recommend these!

A sweet and sexy story.

I’ve loved all of the books in this series but I think this one might be my favorite (it’s hard to pick one, though). This is a really sweet and fairly low angst story. Corey is trying so hard to be a good dad to his daughter Lexi while at the same time striving to be perfect as a teacher in his first year. He really needs to take some time for himself and Spence is the perfect man to help him do that.

Spence loves being a doctor and he loves being unattached. His sister is always trying to fix him up with guys but he wants no part of it. When he sees Corey at a kink party at his friend Hamish’s house, he is drawn to him and wants to comfort him.

The relationship between these two starts out as a one off at the kink party but an unexpected meeting a week or so later gets them together again. They decide to meet up for sexy time whenever their schedules allow. It isn’t long before their relationship takes a more serious turn. There’s just one problem – Corey’s daughter isn’t thrilled with her father spending so much time with Spence.

I love how this book wrapped up the series. While you might be able to read this as a standalone, I think it would be best to read the first two books before reading this one. The three stories take place along a parallel time-line and it was fun to see glimpses of the first two books in this one but from a totally different perspective.

An advanced copy of this book was provided to me at my request but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.

It’s been pretty clear from the end of book one that Corey and Spence will end up together in this story. We even already know how far they go the very first time they meet! However, it’s the mark of a good storyteller that the reader is just as invested in the journey as the destination, and Davison succeeds in that here. Corey is again significantly different from his triplets, even being queer and submissive, and he lives a vastly different life than them as a single father even though they all share a house.

On the other hand, Spence just wants to get laid. Luckily, Corey can’t offer much of a relationship considering all of the other commitments in his life. So, what I particularly love about this book is how these men accidentally fall into a relationship and catch undeniable feels. Rather than stress about it, they decide to see where it goes.

This story is relatively angst-free on the surface. It doesn’t make sense for Corey’s parents to be the same sort of stumbling block for this relationship as they were for Archie and Blake. Instead, the conflict here is much more internal, as Corey struggles to find some much-needed balance in his life, and Spence realizes that there might be room in his lifestyle for a relationship and even, possibly, a family.

Due to the overlapping storylines, the happily ever after here is also a happily ever after for the trilogy as a whole. I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet, kinky trilogy in which every book was distinct as much as the author kept the important elements of family and love consistent.

Wow! The final installment to the ABC triplets story blew me away! I’m going to miss this cast of characters!
Cory, the single stressed out dad of the triplets and his adorably precocious daughter, Lexi, are just trying to get by day by day. As his brothers find love and a Dom(s) of their own he can’t help but feel a bit jealous and needy.
Enter Spencer… an over worked doctor with a crazy schedule and a confirmed bachelor (king of one night stands). They meet at a kink party the triplets attend. As Cory’s brothers wander of with Doms he’s left on his own to sort himself out. Spencer comes over and they click on an intellectual level which leads to more.
Both assume it’s a one off, until fate pushes them back together. But 5 year old daughters don’t exactly believe in fate or sharing their daddy with a ‘Daddy’.
This is a super sweet story with a HEA. These characters are so well developed and the story lines cross over books; which allows multiple perspectives of same events. A Simply brilliant way to tie the plot lines together fir this tight knit family!!!
The kink is well written and not just thrown in as an afterthought. Well researched and amazing descriptions will have readers visually in the moment!

Don’t miss out on this series! You will be glad you picked up all three books!

A Joyfully Jay review.

3.75 stars


C is for Comfort is the third book in the Alphabet of Desire trilogy, featuring triplets Archie, Blake, and Corey. Each book features one of the brothers falling for their Dom(s), and the stories take place along parallel timelines (and were, in fact, written simultaneously). My favorite part about this trilogy is the way the three books work together. The triplets are very close, living together and helping to take care of Lexi. They then all fall for a group of friends who are Doms. What Davison has done really well is integrate the stories, while still keeping each of these characters, and these relationships, feeling distinct. There are great touches as you read each book and see the connections to other stories.

Spence and Corey are a likable couple and there is a sweet dynamic between them. We see Corey slowly shed some of his stress with Spence’s support, as well as begin to feel more confident in himself and have less need for perfection. Spence is basically too good to be true in all the ways, so if you like sweet, caretaking Doms, this story should appeal to you.

Corey’s and Spencer’s story is the most “normal” of the three relationships established by the ABC triplets. Even the Daddy kink is very mild. Both men have a nurturing attitude, Corey expresses it most with his daughter and Spencer is there for his boy to make sure he relaxes and learns to face the world without aiming for perfection but for the best he can do.

I loved Lexie and her reaction to Spencer’s arrival in her father’s life is very realistically described.

It is a relatively slow story, the two men take time to get to know each other (though they had a very hot start at Hamish’s party and at first the time spent together was little and mostly dedicated to getting off in the few hours they could spend together due to their respective work and family obligations), but the pace was perfect until the last two chapters when the author seemed to be in a rush to finish the book. And this left me sad because these two had a right to more words dedicated to their HEA.

Now that the series is finished, I would strongly recommend reading all three books in a row because the stories of the three brothers are so intertwined and occur simultaneously, that if you miss one book you might miss crucial elements to understand first of all the relationship between the brothers and their individual characters, but also some background stories of their partners. Usually the reader does not have the opportunity to read the same scene from multiple POVs and it just adds more depth to the overall storyline.

This is the last story in the series and it is a good one. All of these stories have been strong in different ways. This one centers on Corey and Spence. Corey the dad triplet, feels out of control. He doesn’t have enough time for his daughter, nor enough time for the other things in his life. He feels as a new teacher he lacks control there also. Spence also has a schedule problem. His job doesn’t allow for him to always be available to develop relationships. I laughed at their initial meeting. I really felt for Corey. Even though he had quite a bit of help he still felt inadequate as a parent and a teacher. Spence is a guy who is swoon worthy. He is so caring and considerate I could not help but fall for this character. Together they fit. I appreciate the author wrapping up the series and answering most everything even though these are guys you’d like to know where they are ten years down the road. I’m going to miss these characters.

Absolutely Amazing 💞💞

Last one in series absolutely Loved it... This one about Corey & Spence who met at Hamish's party they both thought it was just a one off but the chemistry between them is too strong, Corey being a single dad and struggling what with his stressful job as a teacher and putting himself under pressure to be perfect it's making him sad lonely, in need of help hiding it from his brothers and with both of them moving out to be with there doms he's not sure he can cope alone. Spence being a doctor knows all about pressure and stress and he's the perfect Daddy dom for Corey he helps him to relax and let go and let daddy look after him he's so patient, caring and loving the chemistry between them is so hot & sexy they are amazing together and the patience, care Spence takes with Lexi Corey's daughter is so beautiful & Emotional. What a way to end a series brilliant Recommend so much 💖💖

And three make it perfect
This is the third in a three-part book set that are written in a simultaneous timeline, as such you have to read them in order, or you spoil the first ones. ‘Nuf said. Each book is wonderful in and of themselves they describe vastly different relationships with quite different characters even though they are all either related or best friends.

Corey the last of the three brothers has a much softer love story fitting for a Caregiving Daddy like Spence. With the love of his brothers and precocious daughter Corey’s story make the heart worm and all the sighs happen with enough heat to light up the night.

I will say that having read the other books there were times when I got that edge of my seat “just say something” feeling you get when you know something that the main character doesn’t. But it all added to the total immersion into the world of these three extraordinary men.

The conclusion to the ABC Triplet's stories.

I had mixed feelings heading into this one because Corey seemed like such an afterthought in the first two books that I wasn't really sure where his story would be headed. I think the Daddy kink—although inherently light and not including age-play—fits this storyline perfectly.

Corey's daughter was the perfect side character, it gave a heaping dose of realism to this book. First and foremost, he is a father and so many of his actions make sense when you understand the dynamic he has with her.

Spence seemed to be the ideal man (Daddy) for Corey. He's patient and understanding, offering Corey the exact kind of support he needs to thrive.

There were some hit and miss areas for me, but mostly because I don't prefer to read about kids so much in a romance book. All in all I enjoyed the final book of this trilogy, but it was not my favorite of the three books.

The final book of the Alphabet triplets

What can I say apart from I wish there had been more brothers. I absolutely loved this series.

Colette did a fantastic job of writing all three books simultaneously and making the timelines cross. The three brothers are identical but have entirely different personalities. Each is unique in their own way.

Corey is an Art teacher who has a daughter Lexi, and he also has strict rules about not bringing home dates because of Lexi being in the house. He meets Spence at Hamish kink party.

Spence is a Doctor in the A&E and a Daddy in the kink world. Corey only wanted a one night; he hasn't time for a relationship,

Such a great book and series; I can't believe they are all over. I need them on audio now to relax and listen to them.

Do dreams come true? Yes, yes they do and C is for Comfort proves it. This book is everything my heart asked for and some things I didn’t even know I wanted. Corey and Spencer (and Lexi) round out this well-crafted series, building the mild daddy boy book of my dreams. It manages to be a slow relationship build while still being, well, fire - and that’s not easy to do. It of course runs parallel to the other two so while it may be able to be read as a stand-alone it’s really best read in order as your level of appreciation for all three books will increase tenfold (I’m not really sure how many folds, actually, but definitely some folds). Even though I got an ARC, I still feel like I waited forever to find out how Corey and Spencer ended up on the couch at the party and now that I know, it was, well, perfect. Everything about this whole series was perfect. And dreamy. 10/10 will read again.
