A Little Bit Naughty has a stubborn boy who’s not as confident in his body as he’d like to be and a determined Daddy who adores him anyway. It also has canoe trips, a stuffed dino named Roar-y, age play, a little bit of naughtiness, and an HEA.

REVIEW:
This is a new book in the Destination Daddies series. Each book is written with the Daddies/littles theme by different authors. The common denominator is signing up on the Cuffd app for a kinky getaway vacation for Daddies and boys.
Remi has all but given up on finding his perfect boy. He’s been in the scene on Portland, Oregon for quite some time but no one “clicked”. He has signed up for a weekend getaway at Meadowlark Lodge, a cute B&B nestled in the mountains outside Portland, for the kinky Daddies/boys Cuffd event. On a hike before the opening mixer, he runs into a pouty boy that is upset his BFF isn’t coming on the weekend after he flew all the way to Oregon. The two men talk and decide to try out the convenient match that has fallen into their laps for the weekend. But two things plague them. The fact that the boy, Issac, is trans and hasn’t had bottom surgery and Remi has a spinal injury from an automobile accident that has left him with limited abilities and pain. But what is to come when both men start falling for their perfect match but live on opposite sides of the country?
I grabbed this book because it crossed of two of my favorites, Daddy/boy relationships and all things Oregon, my home for over 60 years. As a matter of fact, I pictured a lovely log B&B we have frequented immediately when I started reading. The part I wasn’t as familiar with was Isaac being transgender and being a little. This was all new for me.
Remi was the most thoughtful, caring, accepting man I think I have ever read. He had the ability to look beyond so much to see who Issac truly is and accepts him unconditionally. He put Issac first always above all his own wants, needs and his limitations. I can’t even imagine how bad that cross-country flight was for him and I have physical limitations and pain. But for his Izzy he was eagerly willing to do anything for his sweet, lovely boy. It became obvious that Rami fell for Izzy first as a man and the other part simply didn’t matter any longer. He accepted that, for all intents and purposes, Izzy was a man, whether or not his body reflected that totally. Izzy was a man to both. I totally appreciated and applauded his reaction and acceptance. Actually I think he accepted Izzy in some ways more than Izzy did.
One part that was harder for me to accept was Izzy wanting to get pregnant and carry their baby. First, he already suffered majorly from body dysphoria. This would would be harder on him going off testosterone and re-starting his periods again to get pregnant. Also, his body would start to be transforming to a more feminine form for the pregnancy and I think that would be so confusing mentally and he already suffered from it. He was so adamant that he didn’t “ want to be a woman. Not ever.” But he wanted to be pregnant and also “ I really want to chestfeed, but I don’t want my chest to look funny.” It was really confusing for me.
I do appreciate the deeper insight into becoming a trans man and body dysphoria. The author lead us through a thoughtful journey complete with total acceptance by their partner. And I learned several interesting facts on Jewish holidays and traditions I was unaware of before.
All in all, I think this was an interesting and thoughtful book but not necessarily my cup of tea. I had issues with the pregnancy topic in relationship to Issac and his body dysphoria problems. I know it was a minor part of the book at the end but it just didn’t work for me. Also, when he regressed down so far that he couldn’t even talk but just babble baby words and it developed into a sex scene. That pushed my boundaries a bit much too.
