“My name is Mylo but my friends just call me My.”
“My, huh? Cute. How about if I just call you Mine.”
Mylo has had experiences in life that have altered his sense of security. He finds himself reverting to a child-like space when alone, in crowds, just about all the time. He can’t help it. Sometimes friends make fun of him, but he doesn’t feel broken, and doesn’t want to be fixed.
One day, Mylo realizes there is a name for what he desires. Little space. Littles have partners called daddies who take care of them. This new knowledge gives him a feeling of identity and wholeness he’s never had before. Now, all he needs to do is to find one of those daddies and convince him to let him come home with him.
Landau has had his heart shattered more than once. He’s a daddy with a need to caregive a boy. Most of his relationships have been with men who play on weekends, or when it’s convenient. Too many want bedroom antics but not much more beyond that. Landau has a desire for more. A boy who will be his all the time. A boy who wants to let go and let Landau do all the daddy work in and out of the bedroom.
Landau wants to be needed. That’s all there is to it. He’s given up on finding a compatible partner until one day he meets Mylo—and his whole world changes.
This book is part of the Little Big Heart series of standalone novels. Includes: Daddy/little MM romance. Hurt/comfort. Onesies. Stuffies. Sippy cups. Sweet bath times. Cloth diapers. A needy, 24-hour boy. A daddy with the biggest heart of all. HEA.
REVIEW:
If you like your Littles sweet and innocent and your Daddies kind and caring, then you will love this book.
This is the second book in the Little Big Heart Series and can be read as a standalone story. Having read both I can confirm there is no crossover characters so no nagging what I have missed moments. The only connection that I noticed was that there is the mention of the same kink club, which isn’t visited by the characters as part of either book but does link them to the same town.
This book features Mylo, an 18-year-old virgin who loves makeup, jewellery and stuffies. He longs to feel loved and secure, and preferably by a Daddy. He is completely inexperienced with dating and men. After being dragged to a Pride Parade Fair by his best friend Trix, he meets a man in the queue for food and his whole life changes.
Landau (34) has been very unlucky in love. He gives his heart too easily to boys who do not want the same as him, so he has stopped dating. At the gym he runs into a friend from his old kink club who persuades him to go to the Pride Parade Fair with him. At the fair he meets a boy, who is wearing a sweater in the baking heat, with a little teddy bear badge on, that desperately needs looking after.
This book contains many of the elements I consider essential for a good Little story. There are diapers (no wetting), sippy cups, pacifiers, stuffies with cute names, cartoons, colouring, bath times and lots of cuddles.
Little Boy Mine does feel like a book of two halves in some ways with no sexual activity in the first half but then the heat level rises considerably in the second half. This is not a criticism as this is because of the storyline and the book wouldn’t have been as good if sex was any earlier in the story , just rather noticeable to me.
Definitely a book to read if you like sweet, fluffy Little books.
