BLURB:

The sweetest little and his doting Daddy.
875 miles and one year of college keeping them apart. 

Colin has the most awesome Daddy that any little could ever want. But, there’s one problem— Daddy has to move away to a new state. The only thing standing in his way of joining Daddy is finishing up his last year of college. Will Colin be able to survive the infrequent flights between them?

Frank’s lucky enough that his much younger boyfriend still wants him to be his Daddy even in a long-distance relationship. Now, all Frank has to do is find creative ways of engaging Colin’s little side virtually. Will he be able to pull off being a caregiver from almost a thousand miles away or will Colin’s little require more than Frank can give?

If you enjoy low angst age play with ABDL, Daddy bears, and smart littles, you’ll enjoy Ginger Kisses.

This book was expanded from the original novella which was published for Ms. Holmes’s newsletter subscribers. The full novel includes Daddy’s POV and is more than twice the original word count. 

REVIEW:

I have fallen hard for this new-to-me author and absolutely loved this book!

Colin is a natural little. He slips effortlessly into little mode without even realizing it. Top of his class and in his last year of college, Colin misses his “Daddy” fiercely. Little time with his Daddy help keep Colin focused when he needs it most. But Frank has moved from Columbus to Maine to follow his ex-wife so he can still help raise and be involved in his 13 year old daughter Hailey’s life. Now Daddy and Ginger, Frank’s name for his mop top boy of red curls, have to improvise long distance until Colin graduates. But can FaceTime and care packages be enough to help Colin survive and finish?

I first read a part of this book when it was a Christmas novella that was much shorter, only Colin’s POV and had a HFN finish. I’m thrilled that the author gave her readers a holiday treat but am very pleased she has gone back and completed their story with both Frank and Colin’s POV’s.

What I really loved was the supporting characters and how they not only accepted the men how they are but enriched their lives. From Hailey and Colin meshing so well to Christie, Colin’s best friend and confidant, to Lucille, Frank’s assistant and finally Frank’s best friend Jeff and his boy Peter, they all helped Frank and Colin navigate their situation and make it all come together. Even Julie, Frank’s meddling and manipulative ex-wife found a way to be more likable and accepting in the end.

But it was the caring and loving hearts of both men that won me over. Age play is newer to me as a genre and I found this book to be informative in the whys it works for people. Frank is a natural caregiver and knew just what his boy needed. Colin being able to slip into his little gave him a way to let the stresses of day to day life slip away in a healthy and positive way.

As I stated, this is a revised and extended novel from the Christmas novella previously released. If you were lucky enough to have read it you will definitely want to read every single page from front to back! There is so much more here and you get the HEA that both men wanted and needed. I’m hoping that this might be a start to a new series and we will learn more about what comes next for Jeff and Peter while touching base with Frank and Colin.
