Maxis Callaway. Biker. Daddy. Likes his boys in pretty dresses. Maxis has almost everything he could ever need--a big house with the perfect playroom, a Harley that purrs like a dream, and the perfect job as a freelance kink photographer. The only thing missing is a Boy to call his own. He's ready to give up when he finds the Bear-4-U app and decides to give love one more chance. Can he find a pretty Boy willing to love a gruff Bear like him? Kane Hale Lawyer. Sadist. Has one too many stalker tendencies. Kane didn't become a lawyer to help people, or make the world a better place, or any of the other inane reasons his colleagues used to make them sound noble instead of greedy. Kane simply had enough close calls with the law as a teenage stalker that becoming an expert in it as an adult had seemed like a good idea. After scaring away his last boyfriend, he thought he'd finally outgrown his bad habits. Then, he runs into the perfect boy, wasted in a seedy bar. No one could blame him for making sure he gets home safe. Surely, a little bit of snooping at the same time won't hurt anything...right? Wyatt Summer Homeless. Submissive. Just wants to make his daddies happy. Wyatt is tired of being an adult. After the city condemns the building he'd been renting an apartment in, he's left homeless. Then, the only job that had been willing to take a chance on a former prostitute had fired him for not having a clean uniform. Now, he's stuck living in the nasty laundry room in the basement of the building he used to live in, with nowhere to go and a new problem to face every day. All he wants is a Daddy to take over. The last thing he expects when he joins the Bears-4-U app is ending up with not one Daddy...but two.
Bears-4-U is a MM Daddy romance multi-author series, featuring a host of delicious Daddy pairings. The Bears-4-U dating app is all about putting Bears and Teddy Bears together for their honey-sweet HEAs. Psst, no real bears involved. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not snuggle up with all the bears?
Hm, what a weak start. I didn’t enjoy this much to give it a 3. This book had potential though and the blurb caught my eyes immediately. I mean, it’s poly 💅 The storyline was not exciting at all. They didn’t have any chemistry and I didn’t feel attached to them individually either. It wasn’t as memorable as I thought it was gonna be. Pretty cover though.
This had certainly an interesting start and I was really hooked but as closer as it came to the end it really lost me there. As Wyatt, Max and Kane finally got together it didn’t really worked out for me, it really let me down here. I liked the scenes separately from each other with Wyatt much more because only there I felt a bit of feelings and dynamic. I also was absolutely interested in their kinks (dollification and mediaclplay) since it was brought up several times but actually nothing happened here with it, besides a short dressing session with fucking and watching medial kink porn. Quite disappointing.
The set up for this was great. Each character was distinct, interesting, and likeable. I was very interested in seeing how the three of them would work together, but it just happened so suddenly. There was buildup for some of the pairings within the threesome, but we definitely needed more time to develop a poly relationship. Overall I liked this, but it needed to be longer.
When I saw the blurb for this, I got excited. All my favorite tropes in one story with the wonderful addition of two Daddies? Be still my heart.
I honestly don't remember these mcs names, as each chapter was titled with nicknames, so I'm using those.
So in here we have Babydoll, a really young fella who has had a horrible life so far. He is in a bar getting drunk when stalker Daddy sees him.
Now stalker Daddy is creepy. He has been a horrible stalker for his entire life. He is also the reason why Babydoll is homeless. After hurting the bartender who was gonna get with Babydoll in exchange for the drinks, takes a passed out Babydoll to a hotel room. While there, he installs a gay bear app and clones his phone and hides in the closet.
Babydoll wakes up and immediately starts using the app and finds a bear to talk to. Biker Daddy is living in a mansion and wants a doll to dress up. Unbeknownst to everyone, Biker Daddy is a client of Stalker Daddy and they already had the hots for each other.
Now I gotta say that nothing really interesting relationship wise happens until the end of the book. Like Biker Daddy doesn't even dress him up til 89% in and then there was sort of a shared sex scene, then it ends.
Apparently these three start a relationship as the epilogue is a year later. I dunno how its never even talked about.
There were some editing issues but not bad enough to stop the story, such as it was. I think that this reads more like the beginning of a duet/trilogy that ended in a cliffhanger. I think that's why the epilogue didn't work for me.
This was a new-to-me author and I have to say this book got off to a great start. We find the homeless Wyatt getting trashed at a local bar. He catches the attention of a stalker with a cloudy history and wakes up to find himself in a nice hotel room with no clue what happened or how he got there. He also finds an app on his phone called 'Bears-4-U'. Thinking he loaded it there the previous evening, he logs on and proceeds to start chatting with Max, a biker bear looking for his boy.
The character development was fun here with the three POVs within the chapters; clearly delineated so you always know whose perspective it is (this isn't always done well so it was a relief not to be getting confused amongst the perspectives). Max isn't your usual biker (he's not part of a 'real' MC, just a social one) and he doesn't like inflicting pain on his boy. He does however, like dressing them up, treating them like a doll and generally spoiling them.
Initially I had NO IDEA where this was going to go and then I was like "Ohhhhh" 😂 as the relationship between the characters developed some more.
This was a very entertaining read. I loved the dollification aspect and felt like I could connect with all three MCs. There was pretty lingerie and clothes, dressing up the boy and some MMM action. My only minor niggles were around Kane's trip home to his family (not sure why that was even there unless its going to lead into another novel) and I wanted more, more, more 🔥.What was there was so hot but I felt like there was scope for much more.
This story starts off with serious stalking and is rather creepy but when 'Stalker Daddy' turns up at work, we are slightly put at rest with how his secretary acts around him, that suggests he isn't all bad. We are then introduced to Wyatt, who is really down on his luck but we know his life is going to get interesting as he finds 'biker daddy' on the new bear app. Biker daddy is such a kind, generous man who adores Wyatt from the first time they meet. The storyline gets really interesting and a poly relationship starts. The sexual scenes are hot and intimate and as often found with mmm books, a really beautiful relationship is formed. All three men grasp something they uniquely need from each other. A little gem of a story. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
This is a new-to-me author and I was interested in reading this book based on the synopsis. I had never heard of dollification and thought it might be interesting to see what that kink was all about. Unfortunately there wasn't much of that in the book. Granted it is a short book, but I thought a lot of time was spent on other story lines and we didn't get to "the good stuff" until the very end of the book.
This is an MMM book with Maxis the "biker daddy," Kane the "stalker daddy" and Wyatt the sub. I think the author tried to add too much to a short book and I didn't get a good feel for the backgrounds of the characters. However, there were some extraneous scenes with Kane's family that I don't think needed to be included. It didn't add to this story unless there was potential for a future book about that.
The story had a really good premise but the execution didn't pan out the way I'd have liked and left me with too little information. I'd love to see this fleshed out into a longer book with more background details and more time for the MC's to be together.
I’ve read a couple books in this series and after reading the blurb for this one I was intrigued. I’m so glad I read it as I absolutely loved all of it! I’m very particular about my MMM romances in that I feel it needs to be equal throughout the entire book. This one was perfect for that and I didn’t feel uncomfortable once with how their relationship grew (I read the blurb for book 2 and it seems like that isn’t the case so I won’t be reading the next one and will be happy with the HEA in this one)!
Wyatt was such a cute character. I loved how sweet he was. And Max was the perfect Daddy for him (loved his motorcycle club)! I love a good obsessive stalker that actually turns out good in the end and Kane was exactly that. These three really worked super well together and I definitely recommend if you enjoy Daddy and MMM romances!
How a stalker and a dating app brought 3 men together ❤️
Kane is a sweet and caring... stalker. When he sets his eyes on Wyatt, a boy with too many misfortunes in life, he cares for him enough not to interrupt the boy's new relationship with Max. Max, a civilised biker, finally finds a boy he'd dreamt of. He also finds so much more than that pretty quickly.
Full of 🔥🔥🔥 scenes, sweet moments, and considerable stalkery, this book is a wonderful poly story!
Another excellent read from KD! Wyatt is a boy who desperately wants a Daddy, but he can’t imagine why anyone would want him. He’s small, unemployed, and has a precarious housing situation. He’s been abandoned by most people in his life, so why would anyone want to keep him? Kane is a dominant Alpha male. He’s had some…issues…with men before, but when he sees Wyatt he knows he has to make him his. But when his plan gets foiled, he may not get the boy. Max has everything he could possibly want, except a bit of his own. Everyone presumes he’s tough and aggressive due to his size and his Harley, but he’s not a mean man. He just wants a living doll. When these three intersect after a tragic event, can all of their needs align? Sweet, sexy, and emotional, such a great story!
This book started off uniquely imo. I hope more people do the psycho/sociopath thing. Anyway, this is a very quick read; I'm in the middle of about 4 books but I was waiting for this one to come out and I was able to read it straight through. I haven't read a lot of dollification so that was interesting. Also I just read Demming by Avril Ashton and one of the MC also had a bit of a belly although smaller than the guy in this one I think. I kinda like that; they don't all have to have an 8-pack.
In fact I liked this book. All three of the guys were likeable, even the creepy stalker. Actually I wouldn't have minded a longer book with a little more backstory. Or maybe there is more somewhere, idk. This is my first book by this author and in this series. I can't even remember how I heard about this book. I liked it though, and I'll check out more by this author.
Oh, one last thing. When he busted out the stuffie I was apprehensive. I've tried reading about it a few times and I personally just cannot get into age play, it makes me uncomfortable. However, the stuffie is about as far as it goes in this one. He does say he thinks he's more of a "middle" than a "little" and I'm not really sure what a "middle" is. And he takes a bubble bath but, I mean, so does my bf, so...
Maxis Callaway et Kane Hale (32 ans) et Wyatt Summer Motard, photographe de kink indépendant, et, Avocat, sadique, harceleur, et Sans abri Daddys et boy
__
Ineressante dynamique a trois. J'adore leur personnalité peu commune. Et la facon dont ils s'accomodent. Dommage que ça n'a pas été plus étudié en profondeur. Kane et ses petites manient, un bonheur à decouvrir.
📖 Maxis Callaway __ Motard. Papa. Aime ses garçons dans de jolies robes. Maxis a presque tout ce dont il pourrait avoir besoin : une grande maison avec une salle de jeux parfaite, une Harley qui ronronne comme un rêve et le travail parfait en tant que photographe de kink indépendant. La seule chose qui lui manque, c'est un garçon à lui. Il est prêt à abandonner lorsqu'il trouve l'application Bear-4-U et décide de donner une dernière chance à l'amour. Peut-il trouver un joli garçon prêt à aimer un ours bourru comme lui ?
Kane Hale __ Avocat. Sadique. A trop de tendances de harceleur. Kane n'est pas devenu avocat pour aider les gens, ou rendre le monde meilleur, ou pour toute autre raison insensée que ses collègues utilisaient pour les faire paraître nobles au lieu d'être cupides. Kane a simplement eu suffisamment de démêlés avec la justice en tant que harceleur adolescent pour que devenir un expert en la matière à l'âge adulte lui ait semblé une bonne idée. Après avoir fait fuir son dernier petit ami, il pensait avoir enfin dépassé ses mauvaises habitudes. Puis, il tombe sur le garçon parfait, saoul dans un bar miteux. Personne ne pourrait lui reprocher de s'assurer qu'il rentre chez lui sain et sauf. Sûrement, un peu d'espionnage en même temps ne fera pas de mal... n'est-ce pas ?
Wyatt Summer __ Sans-abri. Soumis. Il veut juste rendre ses papas heureux. Wyatt est fatigué d'être un adulte. Après que la ville a condamné l'immeuble dans lequel il louait un appartement, il se retrouve sans abri. Ensuite, le seul emploi qui avait accepté de prendre un risque avec une ancienne prostituée l'a renvoyé parce qu'il n'avait pas un uniforme propre. Maintenant, il est coincé dans la buanderie crasseuse au sous-sol de l'immeuble dans lequel il vivait, sans nulle part où aller et avec un nouveau problème à affronter chaque jour. Tout ce qu'il veut, c'est un papa pour prendre la relève. La dernière chose à laquelle il s'attend lorsqu'il rejoint l'application Bears-4-U est de se retrouver avec non pas un papa... mais deux. 📚
🖋 Kane ____
Je l'observe juste assez longtemps pour deviner où il garde son portefeuille. Vu la façon dont il est assis, je suis sûre qu'il est dans sa poche arrière, à droite. Abandonnant ma boisson intacte sur le bar, je me glisse entre le garçon et l'ivrogne à côté de lui. Puis, je le heurte « par accident », le faisant presque tomber du tabouret. Ce mouvement me donne la seconde dont j'ai besoin pour baisser la main et lui retirer son portefeuille avec mon majeur et mon index.
Je pensais avoir arrêté de faire des vols à la tire quand j'ai arrêté de traquer.
Faux sur les deux points.
Je murmure des excuses, le visage détourné et les mots pâteux. Je ne suis qu'un ivrogne insouciant parmi des centaines.
Il m'appelle « imbécile » de sa voix d'ange, mais retourne aussitôt à son verre, sans se rendre compte que j'ai glissé mon portefeuille dans la poche de mon costume.
S'il découvre qu'il a disparu, je suis sûr qu'il ne pensera pas à moi.
Il me faut deux secondes dans la cabine de toilette pour photographier son permis de conduire. Il s'appelle Wyatt Summer. Il est né fin décembre, ce qui lui donne vingt-deux ans à seulement trois mois. Son adresse est un mensonge. Je le sais, car le complexe d'appartements indiqué a été condamné le mois dernier, dans un procès que j'ai gagné.
Il n’a pas de carte de crédit et pas beaucoup d’argent liquide.
Je feuillette le reste des cartes. Il a un abonnement à Buns and Thighs , à la nouvelle salle de sport ouverte 24h/24 et 7j/7 sur Lamar Boulevard, une carte de fidélité à moitié perforée d'un magasin de smoothies sur la 24e rue et une carte de bibliothèque en lambeaux.
Je photographie tout pour étudier plus tard avant de remettre les affaires en place, exactement là où je les ai trouvées. Puis je retourne tranquillement au bar. Wyatt ne semble pas du tout conscient de la disparition de ses affaires. Je fais signe à un barman, affichant un air ennuyé sur mon visage tandis que la femme légèrement vêtue s'approche.
« C'était par terre », dis-je en le lui tendant.
Elle glousse, bat des yeux, ce qui est censé être du flirt. « Oh, quel gentleman ! Celui qui l'a perdu te doit beaucoup, mais comme il n'est pas là... Et si tu me laissais t'offrir un verre ? »
Je n’ai aucune envie de continuer cette mascarade, pas maintenant que j’ai ce dont j’ai besoin. Je ne prends pas la peine de sourire en disant froidement : « Non. »
Son visage s'assombrit et je quitte le bar au moment même où son choc se transforme en colère. Je n'ai pas besoin d'attirer davantage l'attention sur moi, pas encore. C'est trop tôt.
Je me glisse dans la foule, m'enfonçant dans la masse de corps qui se tord comme une ombre. Quelques secondes plus tard, un minet se met sur mon chemin. Il est d'une beauté classique, ce qui n'est pas le cas de mon garçon - le nez de Wyatt est trop long pour être impertinent et trop court pour être royal, ses cheveux trop débraillés pour être considérés comme artistiquement ébouriffés - mais rien chez ce garçon n'attire mon attention.
Il est beau comme la statue de David, un fac-similé d'un homme alors que tout ce que je veux c'est de la chair et du sang, l'ange tombé se balançant au bar.
Toujours.
Je laisse David s'enrouler autour de mon corps, feignant l'intérêt tandis qu'il se frotte contre moi comme une chienne en chaleur. Ses petits gémissements ne me font rien et la seule raison pour laquelle je prends ses fesses dans mes mains est pour le décaler vers la gauche afin de pouvoir garder la vue sur le bar.
De Wyatt, qui s'appuie si lourdement sur le comptoir que le barman devrait savoir qu'il ne faut pas le servir. Le grand homme, presque aussi large que moi et un peu plus grand, refuse tout de même de me servir un autre martini.
D'après le regard narquois du barman, je sais pourquoi.
Quand Wyatt sortira d’ici en titubant – car il le fera – je l’attendrai.
Et le barman aussi. Ses intentions sont évidentes pour moi, l'autre requin dans cette pièce pleine de poissons.
Quand il suivra mon garçon dehors, je l'attendrai dans l'ombre.
Il semble que tous mes vieux vices reviennent ce soir.

Wyatt ____
Pour me distraire de mes pensées tourbillonnantes (et c'est triste que je n'aie même pas besoin de voir cet homme pour qu'il me fasse me sentir mal), je sors mon téléphone. Au début, j'ai l'intention de simplement faire défiler les pages, mais je vois ensuite l'icône du petit ours et j'hésite.
Peut-être que moi, ivre, j'avais la bonne idée.
J'ouvre l'application avec mon pouce.
Je n'ai pas l'intention de remplir plus que le strict minimum – ou serait-ce le minimum ? Je ricane à cause du jeu de mots accidentel, puis je me sens ridicule d'avoir ri de ma propre blague. Au moins, il n'y a toujours personne ici qui regarde. Je m'installe un peu plus profondément dans le fauteuil et commence à alterner les réponses.
Êtes-vous un…
Ours ou ours en peluche ?
Un ours en peluche, évidemment. Personne ne penserait à m'appeler un ours en me regardant, et je n'ai pas la personnalité pour ça. Je suis soumise comme tout, et un peu comme une princesse en peluche en plus.
Je recherche un…
Ours ou nounours
Je réponds facilement à cette question aussi. J'ai toujours été attiré par les hommes plus costauds, les hommes avec du ventre, des cheveux et des muscles, qui peuvent me soulever et me balancer comme une poupée. Ou deux ou trois hommes… en tant que garçon poly, je ne suis pas opposé à plusieurs ours…
Ce qui m’attire, en revanche, c’est la liste des penchants et des fétiches.
Il y en a des centaines et des centaines, certains dont je n'ai jamais entendu parler, mais tellement que je les connais. Je me retrouve entraîné dans le terrier du lapin, sélectionnant des pervers avec une ferveur croissante. Chaque fois que j'en ajoute un à mon profil, une nouvelle liste se génère. Certains, je les ajoute immédiatement.
Dollification—( réception) :
un partenaire, généralement le soumis, est transformé en poupée vivante.
Somnophilie (réception) :
Recevoir une excitation sexuelle en touchant, en caressant ou en ayant des rapports sexuels avec une personne endormie.
Je frémis en m'imaginant cela. Me réveiller sur la bite ou les doigts de papa, être utilisée pour le plaisir de papa. Les deux penchants sont si différents, mais j'aimais l'idée de les avoir pour la même raison. Je voulais que mon papa – ou mes papas – soient tellement obsédés par mon corps qu'ils puissent s'en donner à cœur joie sans que je fasse quoi que ce soit. Qu'ils recherchent leur propre plaisir sans se soucier du mien...
Je sais que ça paraît bizarre, et les quelques hommes avec qui j'ai essayé de sortir par le passé ne l'ont jamais compris. Ce n'est pas que je ne recherche pas le plaisir, ou que je n'y prends pas plaisir, parce que c'est le cas. Il n'y a presque rien de mieux que la sensation d'un orgasme. La seule chose qui me plaise, c'est de savoir que papa est heureux.
Et l'idée que je peux rendre papa heureux même quand je ne fais rien – et que puisque je fais seulement ce que papa me fait faire, il ne peut jamais être déçu – me fait durcir dans mon jean.
Je jette un rapide coup d'œil autour de moi en m'adaptant à mon short en néoprène, espérant que personne ne l'a remarqué. Heureusement, je suis toujours seule. Les sections de non-fiction ne sont pas très fréquentées avant le soir, lorsque les cours universitaires sont terminés. Pourtant, juste pour être sûre, je déplace mes talons sur le bord de la chaise, mes jambes formant un bouclier, et je pose mon téléphone sur mes genoux.
Les limites strictes sont également faciles. Je les atteins rapidement : Scat Play, Piss Play et Pay-for-Play sont automatiquement interdits.
Avant même de m'en rendre compte, j'ai une liste de perversités et de fétiches assez longue pour remplir tout l'écran, mais toujours pas de photo de profil ou de biographie. Je glisse mon téléphone dans ma poche et, un peu à contrecœur, je me dirige vers le bureau et sonne à la porte.
Jordan, le bibliothécaire arrogant, s'énerve dès qu'il me voit, mais il me passe quand même le long bloc de bois attaché à la clé de la salle de bain. « Ne faites pas de dégâts, d'accord ? » dit-il, tenant la clé un moment de plus que nécessaire.
Je ne prends pas la peine de répondre, ça ne sert à rien. Je me précipite dans la salle de bain et verrouille la porte derrière moi. Ensuite, je cherche le meilleur endroit pour prendre une photo. Mes options sont limitées, donc c'est un choix facile. Si j'utilise le miroir, les toilettes sont bien en vue, et si je me tiens près des toilettes, il n'y a aucun moyen d'éviter la tache d'eau dégoûtante sur le mur. Je préfère un meilleur fond d'écran qu'un simple papier peint gris, mais je ne trouverai probablement pas de meilleure option plus tard.
Ma première prise, je la supprime immédiatement. Duck Face, c'est tellement de la dernière décennie. Finalement, après une demi-douzaine d'essais, j'en trouve une qui me convient. Juste à temps, d'ailleurs, car un coup qui parvient à sembler agacé retentit à la porte juste après. Je range mon téléphone dans ma poche et me lave les mains, même si je n'ai rien fait qui le justifiait.
.
Maxis ____
Mon sourire s'estompe lorsque je lis le message une deuxième fois. Non pas parce que je ne suis pas sûre (je sais déjà que je vais cliquer sur « donner du miel »), mais parce que son message me rend tellement triste. Aucun garçon ne devrait avoir l'impression que la seule chose qui compte est de savoir s'il est « assez beau » pour que quelqu'un lui donne une chance.
Je ne peux pas laisser ce gentil garçon penser qu'il ne mérite que le meilleur. Peu importe son apparence. Je n'ai même pas encore regardé son profil et il me touche profondément.
Dès que l'application enregistre notre match, je le rejoins dans la grotte de l'ours et tape rapidement mon message.
HarleyBear : Ne laisse jamais personne te faire te sentir mal dans ta peau, mon garçon. S'ils ne voient pas à quel point tu es parfait, ils ne te méritent pas. Je veux que tu fasses quelque chose pour moi, si tu te sens à l'aise. Je veux que tu me dises trois bonnes choses sur toi.
En attendant une réponse, je clique sur le nom d'utilisateur du garçon et la page se recharge, m'amenant à son profil. C'est un Teddy Bear, un minet, avec une longue liste de penchants répertoriés sous ses goûts.
Je durcis dans mon jean en le lisant. Dollification, somnophilie, fessée, peluchephilie…
Putain. Beaucoup d'entre eux correspondent parfaitement aux miens, et les rares qui ne le font pas, comme les modifications corporelles et les jeux médicaux, ne sont pas des limites strictes pour moi. Je remonte la page pour regarder sa photo de profil. L'arrière-plan est indistinct, un simple mur de briques grises, mais cela n'a pas d'importance.
Il n'a pas tort quand il dit qu'il est assez beau, sauf qu'il l'est. Il est plus que juste « assez beau », il est le genre de beauté qui pourrait faire tomber un empire. Des boucles châtain doré qui me suppliaient de passer mes doigts dedans, des lèvres roses et boudeuses, et ces yeux… grands et noisette. Ils me donnent envie de voir combien de temps il peut les garder ouverts sans cligner des yeux.
Je me demande s'il aurait toujours l'air aussi innocent avec mon sperme refroidissant sur son visage.
Est-ce qu'il me laisserait l'habiller de dentelle et de satin ? Il a l'air minuscule, la taille parfaite pour trôner sur mon étagère, celle de la chambre que j'avais transformée en parfaite maison de poupée de princesse. Est-ce qu'il me laisserait lui faire poser ? Rester immobile et silencieuse pendant que je le baise ?
Je serre ma bite dans ma main pendant une seconde avant de reprendre mon souffle, me préparant à la douleur. Puis, je serre ma bite assez fort pour me faire mal, forçant mon érection à fléchir.
Il mérite mieux qu'un vieux sale qui convoite ses photos. Laissant mon téléphone sur le dossier du canapé, à l'abri de mes regards pervers, je vais prendre une douche.
Biker and Daddy Maxis Callaway is a freelance kink photographer and has almost everything he needs - just not a pretty Boy who likes wearing pretty dresses. Lawyer Kane Hale was a teenage stalker and now has become an expert and so when he runs into the perfect Boy wasted at a seedy bar he makes sure he gets home safely and snoops a bit so he can stalk him. Wyatt Summer is a homeless submissive who just wants to make a Daddy happy. Stuck squatting in the laundry room or his previous home that was condemned. When he signs up for the Bears-4-U app are not one but two daddies.
I found this book a bit disjointed but I guess that was due to the fact that there were two daddies and one boy. I also found that so much time was spent on the scene setting that the relationship between the three of them as well as between each Daddy and Wyatt was glossed over more than I would have preferred. So I think this book was shorter than the characters and the subject needed. Easy to read just not so easy to understand due to the short nature of the book. This is an MMM story with mature content and a BSDM-like DDLB relationship including dollification.
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! It has it all. The writing is amazing. I decided to go into this blind not reading the description of the book. It was worth it. I knew I'd love this book as I love all the books I've read from this author. And this just hit the spot of what I was looking for. The stalking is written amazing. To show that he really does love him but is also just creepy. And Max is just a big bear that loves them all. I love how Wyatt finally does except their help. It's all amazing. Totally worth reading.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This is the first book that I’ve read by KD Ellis, and after reading it I’m looking forward to checking out their other books at some stage. This book was a lot more angsty than the only other Bears-4-U multi-author series book that I’ve read so far. Even though I enjoyed this book, I would’ve loved the book to either be a bit longer, or less time spend on the buildup before they all got together. Wyatt, is really down on his luck. He’s been on his own since he was 14 years old. He’s drinking at a bar, and has no idea he’s gained the attention of Kane, who has more than a few stalker tendencies that he thought that were behind him but Wyatt ignites them all. Even though Kane was stalking Wyatt, and he’s a sociopath it was obvious that he just wanted to know Wyatt was safe and although he knew he’d missed his chance when he realised that his long time client and friend Max started dating Wyatt. He could see that Max will make Wyatt extremely happy but he couldn’t seem to stop keeping an eye on him from a distance. Kane only got closer to Wyatt, when Max told him that someone has been stalking Wyatt and completely scared him.
Since Kane knew it wasn’t him, he decided to follow Wyatt home to make sure that he got home safely but that he could also confront his stalker. It was a good thing as If he hadn’t had followed him he wouldn’t be able to safe Wyatt from the burning condemned building the Wyatt, and many others were squatting in. Kane rescued Wyatt, and got burnt in the process. When they were both out safely Kane told Wyatt to contact Max to come and get him before promptly passing out from the pain. Max and Kane have been friends for awhile and they have always had this tension between them but knew that they’d never work because they have similar tastes. Max, is in a social MC and has everything a man could need but he has no boy of his own. Wyatt and Max were great together, as their tastes line up but there’s a few things that Wyatt’s into that Max isn’t but Kane is so they work out perfectly together. I didn’t really get why the scene of Kane going back home was included as I would’ve loved to find out if Kane was born the way he is, or he was made that way. I’m going to check out more books from this series after reading this one. I’d definitely recommend this book, series and author to everyone
Dress Me is part of the Bear-4-U collection which centers around men who use a dating app to find their perfect Bear or Teddy Bear – basically this unabashed, delicious daddy kink. Each book stands on its own and is written by a different author. Dress Me has a laundry list of kinks that all the main characters enjoy, but the main one is daddy kink (of course – with two daddies no less!) and dollification. Or at least, dollification is indicated as main kink for these men, but we see very little of it in the book – just a small taste. A small taste is really the best way to describe this book – the author serves up everything they promised they would, but nothing that really satisfied my appetite. There’s a polyamory relationship but we only see the initial development and no real payout with the men together. The scenes we do get with all three of them are hot and I wished more time was spent there instead of a weird side plot where one of the main characters goes on a trip to see his family. We are promised dollification, but it’s ONE scene – just one quick scene. I was expecting more due to the title of the book. There’s stalking (I always love a good dark romance stalking trope) but it’s pretty bland. I was also confused by the actual wealth of the characters. The author indicates that they are extremely wealthy (except the sweet little Wyatt) but they don’t act wealthy. I mean, taking a bus to visit family is something I’ve never seen or heard of someone super wealthy doing. I felt like a good editing/beta reading could have ironed out some of these issues. HOWEVER, despite those sore points, I did enjoy this book overall. Wyatt is sweet and delightful, and I really wanted him to be spoiled and pampered by Max and Kane. The sex scenes were hot and delicious, and there was enough fluff and sugar that I was still able to enjoy reading the book. This is a cute, fast read that’s perfect for my fellow daddy kinksters who want a fluffy and sexy comfort read.
Okay so first off WOWWWWWZAH I could not have been more excited by the blurb! The kink, the forced protection, the stalker tendencies, the big biker daddy mixed with a tiny boy just yes gimme.
Unfortunately I don’t think it really delivered in a lot of ways. Yes it contained most of what was promised but it was weirdly paced with the beginning feeling like the start of a full novel, the middle feeling a bit rushed, and then the end a hasty rush with no details.
I wanted to love this SO BAD. Max was perfection big and burly with a touch of vulnerability and sweetness that was just amazing. I like Kane too though I don’t think the author did the character justice at all. Making a stalker nuanced is challenging and I actually think what was there was done pretty well but it was so under developed and then left on a cliff with no explanation or ending. Does he still stalk them with consent? Has he all the sudden given up on it completely? And what exactly happened with Zachary. Too many questions with no answers. Wyatt was pretty much exactly what I want from a sweet little sub in these stories but again the story left me unsatisfied with his character too. As a throuple their relationship was barely discussed or developed and though they made sense together it felt rushed and there was little to no emotional connection development at all. I just wanted and expected more.
This had sooo much potential and the beginning was really good! Unfortunately I’m left a little disappointed and a lot unsatisfied. This needed to be twice as long in my opinion to really explore all of the kinks and the emotional connection between three seemly totally different men who really fit perfectly.
Firstly let me say I got this book from gay romance reviews and this is me leaving my honest review. This is the first book that I have read in the series Bears-4-U got to say I enjoyed it I found it very confusing at the start of the book but it really kept my interest you have got Wyatt who is homeless he’s just lost his job he’s submissive and he really wants daddies who can protect him use him and hopefully love him. He has got a number of kinks but the one thing about Wyatt is he’s a fighter he’s gone through so much in his life and he tries to stay positive. You’ve got Kane who has got a history of stalking and that’s exactly what he’s doing at the moment to Wyatt. But he wants the best for Wyatt. He saved him from being abused while under the influence of alcohol. He knows he wants Wyatt for himself he has extremely strong feelings for him but he doesn’t know how to present himself in a way that won’t scare him. And then you have Maxis aka Max Who is a big teddy bear with a beard. He is a biker he is extremely rich and he is looking for the perfect boy that he can love and make him his own. Max has a lot of kinks also but a lot of them match up with Wyatt. They’ve been talking on an app and they are finally going to meet. Also Max and Kane know each other. But they have no idea that they both have feelings for Wyatt. So what can happen when these three get together?? I enjoy this book yes I was very confused at the beginning but once the story really started I found it very addictive. I was really interested in these kinks because I hadn’t heard of them before. But what really matters is that Max, Kane and Wyatt work so well together. The passion that they share is just amazing but what really got me was the connection that they had. A really good read
I read the synopsis for this book and was immediately intrigued and had to read it!! That being said, I feel like this book has quite a bit of potential, but just kind of ended up very rushed to add in what the synopsis told us would be there. I think, were this book a longer novel, we would have gotten all of that. It starts out giving us information and setting up the plot and characters, but then we hit about 50% and it started to feel really rushed.
This is an MMM book that focuses on Kane (stalker daddy), Maxis (biker daddy) and their boy, Wyatt. Wyatt is homeless and finds himself set in the sights of Kane, who also so happens to be friends with Max. I truly loved their dynamic but I just feel like we did not get enough of it. It was quick, and very rushed, leaving not enough time to develop the characters and their relationship. There were some scenes that also felt out of place—like when Kane goes to see his parents. There were also quite a few grammatical things and details being different from one paragraph to the next that kind of threw me off.
I wanted to love this book because I really enjoyed Wyatt and his daddies, and that’s not to say I didn’t like it, I did, I just felt like I was rushed through seeing their HEA. The way in which Kane and Max cared for him was honestly so pure and beautiful!! And I really loved the power dynamic and roles between Kane and Max!! This was truly a fun book to read, I just would have liked to see more of their kinks explored on page!
Kane, who is a lawyer with stalker tendencies, sees Wyatt at the bar and immediately wants him, so of course he steals his wallet so he can learn more about him and he “persuades” the bartender from pursuing the twink. He saves Wyatt from himself and brings a very drunk Wyatt to a hotel and then adds the Bears 4 U app and then spies on him until he wakes and then leaves after getting cleaned up. Wyatt ends up talking to Maxis, a bear biker daddy, on the app and Kane of course has access to all of his conversations. When stalking Wyatt, Kane finds out where he lives and thank goodness he does, because he ends up saving his life from a fire in the basement that he was squatting in. Wyatt calls his daddy and together, the three of them go to Max’s home to recover. Things happen and they end up together in one beautiful and steamy relationship.
I was leery about this one because of the stalker-vibe that Kane absolutely owns up to, but I really enjoyed the premise of this story. Kane may be a stalker, but deep down, he means no harm to Wyatt whatsoever. He wants Wyatt happy, even if it means he meets and falls for another daddy, which he ends up doing. But as it turns out, Kane and Wyatt’s daddy was attracted to each other, which helps when the three of them get together physically. I am glad they get their lovely and spicy HEA. All in all, this was a sweet, if a bit twisted, romance where love prevails and the steam is real.
I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This was rather bleak in parts, more than the other Bears-4-U books, and I appreciated how the author started with an honest content warning.
I loved how these three men, each traumatized in their own ways, found in each other a family who shared their kinks and didn't judge. The way Wyatt and Max forgave the stalking and just opened their arms to Kane was beautiful. You got the feeling that it wasn't because of his heroics, no, they truly got him.
I only wish we could have spent less time on the buildup, and more time on the burgeoning relationship. Or, the huge cliché, that the book could have been longer. Ah well.
There were so many opportunities here, with a huge, dominant bear who was also a bottom, and another dominant bear who was beginning to realize that he was kind of a vers-y switch. For instance, I would have loved Daddy Max and his doll ganging up on Daddy Kane and railing him with that huge member he was so impressed with ^_^ More scenes of the daddies spoiling the snot out of Wyatt, and him learning to accept it, would have been great as well. And an update on how Kane's new little brother wreaked havoc on his horrible family. And a scene where Kane presents Wyatt with the koala he made for him during that first visit to the toy store. And, and, and...
I received a copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews, and this is my honest review.
Wyatt is a submissive Little who is down on his luck. He was surplused at his job and has had no luck finding another. The building he had an apartment in was condemned so he is now squatting in the basement. He is tired and hungry and afraid. He goes to a bar hoping to be bought drinks and hook-up but he doesn't realize that he has caught the eye of a very dangerous Daddy. He has joined the Bears 4 U app in hopes of finding the perfect Daddy. His long list of kinks catch the eye of Harley Daddy. Harley Daddy is just the type of Daddy he has been looking for.
Kane Hale became a lawyer not to help people but to understand the law enough to get himself out of trouble. He has gotten in trouble in the past for stalking submissive boys. Kane is a sadist but he is also overprotective. He will do whatever it takes to protect and claim his boy. This time he has chosen Wyatt.
Maxis Daddy is a rich man who enjoys photography and motorcycles. His handle on Bears 4 U is Harley Daddy. He is looking for a boy who doesn't mind being dressed up and treated like a doll. Maxis does kink photography and would love to have a boy to be his inspiration. He knows how to treat a boy kindly.
I have read and loved the author's Out in Austin series so I was very curious to see how they would handle this series, which from the earlier books I've read in it seems lighter in tone. Ellis has pulled it off brilliantly. First, if you chuckled as I did at the description of Kane in the blurb, you're going to love him in the book. No punches are pulled, he really is just like the blurb describes him except that the feelings and compassion for Wyatt are more genuine than he likes to admit to himself. After reading about everything Wyatt has gone through recently, you'll be wanting someone to give him a mental and emotional break by taking over as much as he wants that. Then, there's Maxis. I could immediately see that he and Wyatt would fit together perfectly, but I wondered how he and Kane would work in a relationship. Turns out, beautifully. They give in to each other with knowing glances and remarks that make it clear they both know they're doing it and how much they enjoy it without ever conceding one bit of their desire for being the one in charge. Very steamy. I always love a good epilogue and it's great getting to see these three still going strong a year later.
Dress Me, one of the books in the Bears-4-U series, was a little sweet and a little disturbing in the best way.
Kane, a sociopath, who had a dark history with another boy, sees Wyatt at a bar and instantly becomes obsessed with him. Kane manages to put a stalking tracker on Wyatt's phone so he can track Wyatt's actions.
In the meantime, Wyatt meets Max through a Bears-4-U app that Kane downloaded onto his phone. Kane and Max know each other, so Kane decides to just watch Wyatt from a distance since he likes and respects Max.
Through a few twists and turns, the three men end up in a relationship together. While the first half of the book was a little slow for me, the second half delivered lots of interaction and steamy times with the three men.
I look forward to reading the other books in the series.
I received an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
A good start as a view of a stalker focuses on his next obsession. Wyatt 22 years, was a dancer about to have some bad troubles he didn’t need. This has a very different start to the book as its written with 3 character povs, StorkerDaddy, BikerDaddy and Daddies Doll. I had difficulty trying to get the povs characters at times the way this was written. A confusing part between the stalkers in play. Wyatt is being the focus of two very different Daddies. Kane was a lawyer and wanted Wyatt but he was part stalkerish. Hmm he takes the wearied way of doing things that really wasn’t grabbing me for the story. Wyatt has a hard life scraping by with very little, and the streets his home. Enter,..BikerDaddy as they meet via Bears-4-U App, and start to message each other. Ooh its a story that their all connected in a round about way thats gets intriguing by the moment as I was reading along. There’s a scene of a fire,. and that was where a few surprises get thrown into the story. The story was an okayish read for me, the way it was written I didn’t get drawn in for this MMM book.
3.5 stars This book had a lot of potential but didn't quite get there. Some parts were unnecessary - like Kane's visit to see his parents, and others could have been given more depth and time in the book - like kink exploration and the development of their poly relationship. There were also a few inconsistencies and the ARC I read needed proofreading. There were some unexpected elements that added to the story. All three MC's were intriguing in their own way and I enjoyed their dynamic. Wyatt is a very sweet boy who has a traumatic past, is currently struggling, has many kinks, and just wants to be loved. Max is a bear of a man, very caring, genuinely nice, and enjoys dollification and many other kinks. Kane is a lawyer, he is likeable in his own way, he is also a stalker with a troubled past, and considers himself a sociopath - although a true sociopath wouldn't be able to form genuine connections and have real feelings towards others as Kane comes to have for Wyatt and Max.
Wyatt is a former prostitute trying to survive on the streets after his apartment building is condemned. He's been squatting in the basement and trying to find a job and not starve. At a bar one night he gets plastered and wakes up in a hotel. Kane is a stalker and sees Wyatt and knows he can't let him go. He brings Wyatt to a hotel to keep him safe. Max is a biker daddy and connects with Wyatt through the bear for you app and they begin a relationship. Max is also Kane's best friend and client at the law firm Kane works at. When Kane rescues Wyatt from a fire in the building Wyatt is squatting in the three of them finally come together. They start to explore their dynamic but Kane is always pulling back not believing he deserves max and Wyatt. They will just have to prove to Kane he belongs to them. Their sex was off the charts and continues in book two. I highly recommend this book.
It’s not surprising that this isn’t good, but it might have had hope. But in fact, it’s totally full of “whuuuh?” moments in the 24 pages I did read. Am I supposed to think that stalker daddy is cute? Should I want the lawyer to remember the building he got condemned? Is this going to be yet another book with a generalist lawyer who does property work and criminal defence and estates and family law? Why does the firm he belongs to have an italic name? Why does stalker daddy get to clone the boy’s phone and install a GPS patch to the Bears4U app without us thinking he’s a bad person? How did he buy a perfect jacket for boy in the middle of the night—does he have Amazon Previous Day shipping? How is the boy not hung over? Why does the boy not inspect the closet where stalker daddy is hiding in the expensive hotel room?
To say Wyatt is an absolute sweetheart who’s down on his luck is to understate both how lovely Wyatt is and how bad things have gotten, but with help of two Daddies, things start to look much better. There’s plenty of heat here to go with the interesting story line, and a bit of character development as well, although it’s not so much the focus (see, plenty of heat and interesting story line). Each of the three characters: Wyatt, Max (biker daddy), and Kane (stalker daddy) have distinct voices and roles to play. While the focus of the narrative is very much on the buildup to their ultimate relationships, and it would have been nice to spend a bit more time with them once established, overall I found this to be an easy-to-get-caught-up-in read.
*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
I want to start saying I couldn’t put this book down. It was well written, has a great story and well edited. My problem, and it’s personal to me rather than the book, was that the main characters didn’t actually get together until about 90% through the book. Having 3MCs obviously meant spending more time getting to know them but it felt as though we never saw them all together almost like there should be a second book. I chose to read this because of the dolification and medical play. There was only 1 dolification scene which tbh was more just like dress up than actual dolification and the medical play was only mentioned not actually done. Like I said it was a great book I just wanted more of them in a relationship rather than the story of how they got there
