Naughty brat needs a strong guiding hand. Must love dogs. Reply ASAP
Toby Andrews is a busy, forgetful, scatterbrained musician with ADHD, a precocious dog named Ruffles, and a bad rep for partying too hard. When Toby’s actions put an all-important contract with a large label in jeopardy, his manager sarcastically suggests that the omega needs a keeper who’ll redden his bottom if he steps out of line. Toby is intrigued, so when he sees an ad for a discreet company called Rent-a-Dom while scrolling his social media page, he impulsively sends a request for a Daddy Dom to help him stay on track.
Thorne Barrett is a jaded, worn-out daddy of a Dom who has no desire to babysit some naughty, out of control, celebrity brat. The alpha reluctantly takes the job, promising himself he’ll find new employment when the contract is over. He doesn’t know what his next step might be, but whatever it is, he hopes it will leave him stable enough so he can settle down and think about having a family of his own.
Neither man is precisely what the other expected. Once Thorne gets his naughty ‘boy’ settled into a routine, Toby begins to blossom and find better ways to focus… and most importantly, stay of out trouble with the paparazzi.
Between band issues, a crazed stalker, an unexpected pregnancy, and a thirty-day cross-country tour, Toby has a lot on his plate. Can he find stability for himself and Ruffles with Daddy Thorne?
This MM book contains mpreg, D/s elements, and is intended for 18+ readers. Warning: Don’t read unless you like fun books with feisty Chihuahuas, naughty boys who really want to be good, hot daddy alphas, a story that will keep you in stitches, and steam-filled passion. But then again, this is a Susi Hawke and Piper Scott collaboration—you already knew to expect that, didn’t you?
REVIEW:
Let me start with opposite of what you would think while reading the series title. This is a very sweet story. You cannot help but like Toby because he is just like a teenager skipping around, making a mess but the love he shows his little dog tells you all you need to know about who he really is.
Enter Thorne who responds to the ad Toby puts out there. Thorne is everything Toby needs but just doesn’t know it yet (in the beginning). I really liked the slow build in their relationship, how they work their way together, taking their time to figure things out. The way Thorne gets a handle in Toby and the way his brain works and the response he gets when Toby finally seems to get it is enthralling to read.
The authors did a wonderful job of bringing the main characters together at a relaxing pace, focusing on their individual assets.
Of course, drama lies around the corner and it is to be expected but it fit the story perfectly.
Quick shout out to Toby’s two band members who stuck with him. I loved their in each other and in what would happen.
The epilogue rounds it up very nicely and definitely added a bonus to this overall nice story.
Being not familiar with Susi Hawke ‘s writing, it definitely spiked my interested in reading more of her work. Of course, I already loved some stories I read by Piper Scott. This author combination is for me new and makes me interested in more.
If you are searching for a light story with some D/s elements, some nice and also hot interaction, little drama and a fullfilling end this might be your story. Make sure to be aware to read the warnings in be blurb though so you won’t be surprised 😉
Enjoy 🙂
