Tender Control #4.5
Daddy Loves Confidence
When friends fix you up, it’s either going to be a spectacular failure or a fascinating first date. Unfortunately for Arthur, it’s the owners of the Bound & Controlled club who fix him up and his first date is an email. So it’s going to be a fascinating failure?
Joseph knows his terrible schedule and long work trips make meeting people difficult…and they make meeting Daddies even harder. But after months of exchanging emails with the sweet Dom with a dry sense of humor, he’s starting to wonder if he’s finally found the Daddy of his dreams…one who’s funny and completely supports his passion for cereal and comfort food.
Any man who mails you cereal is a keeper, right?
**Author's Note**
While the Bound & Controlled world is under the Shaw side of my world, this sweet age play book is definitely an M.A. Innes story.
My books as Shaw Montgomery are the more traditional side of BDSM, and my books as M.A. Innes are filled with sweet age play and fun things like puppy play. Since Daddy Loves Confidence straddled both sides, I decided to put it under both names.
Daddy Loves Confidence was originally included in the Dirty Daddies Anniversary Anthology in 2022, and no material changes have been made to the story.

I hadn't planned on reading this right now, but I needed a little sweet smut to break up my day, and this was the perfect thing!

Daddy Loves Confidence is book 4,5 in the Tender Control series by M.A. Innes. I loved Daddy Loves Confidence! It's the story of Arthur and Joseph. They've been sending letters, texts and having phone calls for a while now but this is the first time they meet in person.... I loved their story. It was sweet, sexy and very well written.

February 21, 2023DNF @?. I'm not really into Daddy/Little kink, so I don't know why I picked this up, other than I've read a few books by this author that I liked and thought, "meh. why not?!"
Well, I clearly wasn't in the mood because I didn't get far into this book and ended up just jumping to the conclusion so see how it ends.
Not really fair for me to rate this book as a result.

February 9, 2023DNF @65% ... it's been a while since I've tried one of this author's books, in either of her incarnations. I enjoyed so many of her early ones and love the gentle introduction she provided into certain kinks, but .. yeah. This one reminded me why I've skipped her books recently, as they just feel so endlessly repetitive now and her writing style no longer does it for me. I find myself bored at what I'm assuming is intended to be cuteness. "It's not you, it's me."

Arthur was fixed up by the owners of the Bound & Controlled club and his first date is an email. Joseph knows that his terrible work schedule makes meeting people difficult and that makes meeting Daddies even harder but after months of exchanging emails with Arthur who is a sweet Dom with a dry sense of humour who appears to be the Daddy of his dreams who is funny and supports his passion for cereal and comfort food. Surely any man who mails cereal has to be worth keeping?
I really enjoyed this novella with the overworked Joseph and the caring and gentle Arthur and how their relationship started online via email but that meant that when they did meet for real they already had a solid relationship to build upon. They were just so sweet together and I loved the way that they story ended. This was easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

Brilliant story of how two workaholics find what they need.
Joseph is often working in different countries, but knows he needs a daddy. He's a very nervous person who overthinks everything.
Arthur has been working all over the country with his job and need a change and a boy of his own.
Conner introduced them , but they started by emailing each other, as they both worked away from home.
Loved how the story grows from pen palls to actually meeting.
Looking forward to seeing if this gets extended x

Ok, this is a short story well written, no backstory, no building relationship, no growing characters... nevertheless you finish it knowing a whole lot about the kind of people Arthur and Joseph are, what they want together and how their relationship is going to be.
Four stars, because I felt a bit rushed reading this.

Awwww ... So sweet
This was a simply lovely novella that just hit all the right feels. What starts as an online/long distance Daddy/boy relationship blossoms into some much more when the two finally meet! But don't tell Conner he was right! Lol A sweet story in the Tender Control universe and definitely a must read!

Perfect!!!
What a great addition to the Tender Control series. And we got to see Ben. Usually we get more Conner with Ben reigning him in. I love how we got some of the emails that led up to them meeting in person. What a great read.

Got thru it
This is the first book of MA Innes I’ve been able to get thru in quite awhile so yay! I really liked both MCs but I was hoping for a bit more. The blurb was all about getting to know each other thru emails but there wasn’t much of a before they meet story.

Tome 4.5 de Bound & Controlled
Adrian et Joseph (Ketzel)
Papa doux et garçon débordé
Pause professionnelle et interprète pour le gouvernement.
____
Intéressant, rigolo et captivant. Mais manque de profondeur.
Le fait d'avoir des lettre au milieu de tout a mis une distance entre le personnages et moi. Je n'ai pas apprécié. Car les lettre n'était pas seulement là pour nous en apprendre plus mais faisait parti intégrante de l'histoire et n'était plus expliquer ou approfondie après
La fin est trop rapide et expeditif
📖
Lorsque des amis vous arrangent, ce sera soit un échec spectaculaire, soit un premier rendez-vous fascinant. Malheureusement pour Arthur, ce sont les propriétaires du club Bound & Controlled qui l'arrangent et son premier rendez-vous est un e-mail. Alors ça va être un échec fascinant ?
Joseph sait que son emploi du temps épouvantable et ses longs voyages de travail rendent les rencontres difficiles… et ils rendent les rencontres avec les papas encore plus difficiles. Mais après des mois d'échanges de mails avec le doux Dom à l'humour sec, il commence à se demander s'il a enfin trouvé le Papa de ses rêves… un drôle qui supporte totalement sa passion pour les céréales et les plats réconfortants.
Tout homme qui vous envoie des céréales est un gardien, n'est-ce pas ?

RE : C'est la faute de Conner.
Joseph,
Je dois admettre que j'ai commencé cet email plusieurs fois avec des mots comme "À qui de droit" ou "Cher Joseph", et que c'est devenu de plus en plus inélégant à partir de là. Les premières présentations doivent toujours se faire en personne afin que l'alchimie puisse, espérons-le, prendre le pas sur la gêne. Mais comme ce n'est pas le cas ici et que Conner insiste pour que je vous envoie un email (parce qu'il n'a pas pu trouver un papa plus sympa en ce moment ?), j'ai renoncé à trouver comment commencer cela sans que cela paraisse inélégant ou trop professionnel.
Mon objectif à partir de maintenant est d'être extrêmement professionnel au cas où vous vous poseriez la question.
Conner va avoir une crise cardiaque, alors ne le lui disons pas ? Je pense que cela peut être une affaire privée entre nous deux, car il s'agit principalement d'une audition pour voir si nous serions capables de jouer le rôle de papa et de garçon.
Tu sais, je commence vraiment à me demander ce que tu as fait à Conner pour lui faire croire que je serais un bon choix pour toi ? As-tu caché sa boisson préférée au club ? Convaincu Ben que Conner n'avait pas besoin d'une fessée ?
Oui, il est clair que cette gêne est ce que Conner avait prévu, je pense donc que vous devez examiner attentivement votre vie et déterminer où les choses ont mal tourné. Si vous avez besoin d'aide pour cette tâche, n'hésitez pas à me répondre par e-mail et nous y travaillerons ensemble.
Arthur.
