One of the most powerful icons for gay men is the hunky, rough-hewn, authoritative daddy figure, who can offer hot kisses, warm embraces, and a firm hand with equal intensity. This collection of erotic stories reveals the unique sexual and emotional bonds between these older daddies and younger gay men: from twinks hankering for silver foxes to men with the meat of years on their bones mentoring spunky lads just coming out. Everything goes in these stories, from the sexually playful to the wistfully romantic, to hardcore S/M, to role playing, to extreme kink. Written by such masters of the genre as Doug Harrison, Jeff Mann, Xan West, Barry Alexander, Dale Chase, Shaun Levin, and more, these sizzling stories explore the world of men who may differ in age but have the same thing on their mind.
i read a lot of books. i review many of them. i edit many anthologies. i edit technical writing so it reads more like real english. i live on a small island with a man and a dog (tiger-lily, r.i.p). once upon a time, i was a bookseller.
It was an okay group of stories; they ran the gamut of Daddy stories and length. I wish some of them had been a bit longer, but overall, it was a good set of accounts. Some new authors made me want to look for more of their stories and check out longer books by them.
Like many anthologies, the quality of this collection is rather uneven. I love daddy kink, but I think I like it best with some character development. (You won't really find that here.) I did enjoy Jeff Mann's story, though; I'm a big fan of his writing.
This anthology of stories was well written and had a wide variety, all of which were appealing and interesting. This is not a group of love stories, nor is it even a group of romantic tales. These stories are real and gritty and honest. I loved it!
Contains two stories that were finalists for the NLA's John Preston award for short fiction published in 2009: Jeff Mann's "Lost River," and Xan West's "Missing Daddy."
