BLURB:
Adulting is hard for Raf. After a less than ideal youth, he’d hoped to find where he belongs. But despite trying several things in the club his best friend frequents, nothing clicks for him. Until he meets Daddy Brendan, the perfect bear of a man with the gentle voice, the soft cuddles, and an appendage Raf is rather fascinated by. Daddy Brendan wants to take care of Raf in every way, and Raf quickly discovered he loves being Daddy Brendan’s baby boy. He’s finally found where he belongs. If only he could forget about his past and be truly happy… Gentle Hand is a daddy kink MM romance with age play and ABDL. Please note trigger warnings for mild homophobia, parental mistreatment, and depression. It’s the second book in the Perfect Hands series, but can be read as a stand-alone.
REVIEW:
An interesting book on Daddy/littles play.
Raf has always been a disappointment to his parents, especially his father. His ADHD made his life miserable and difficult to navigate through. And what makes it worse is that he knows he is attracted to the Lifestyle just as much as his best friend Rhys but he has no idea what form of the Lifestyle he is suppose to follow. That is until he literally wound up in the lap of a natural Daddy! With Brendan, all he has ever wanted was a “little” to take care of and call his own. When he discovers the boy crying, in the next booth over in the club, he knows his search may finally be over. But can he let his ordeal with his last “boy” go so he can pursue the life he desires most?
We first met Raf and Brendan in the first book in this series “Firm Hand”. Raf is the best friend of Rhys. Although this is the second book in the series it actually comes before and then follows the storyline of the first book.
Although I preferred the first book it was interesting to see how both Rhys and Raf became who they were and why they fell into their particular kinks. It also made more sense into how Cornell and Rhys fell into their Daddy kink. Rhys just wanted to make sure his best friend was taken care of. And Brendan was a natural for the position. Poor Raf needed a loving Daddy to take care of him and allow him to relax away from the struggles of the real world he was so ill equipped to succeed in.
I liked both men but I just don’t think that Daddy/little is my favored “kink” in the BDSM world. I did however enjoy hearing the whole backstory of Raf and Rhys. I had wondered about them. And I love Nora Phoenix’s writing style. If you loved Firm Hand then you really need to read this one to understand the whole story.
