DNF, went too far for me, but the writing was good and I did like the characters.

This is a beautifully written story, that brought tears to my eyes.

Sam is a character that we have met previously in the other The Lodge books, he has a secret few people know, One he believes will leave him alone for the rest of his life, as he won’t be accepted accepted. Theron is captivated by Sam, I like the fact that he takes his time, truly listens, and supports Sam in every way he can. The chemistry between them is not only hot and heavy but also so very sweet. As always Quinn writes emotionally impacting story, that has the right amount of angst, sexy and sweet to make it another winning book.

3.5 stars. I enjoyed it and really liked it but some of it was inconsequential and found myself skimming through those pages.


great story, unique

Trans representation is very rare in mm books and it’s even rarer that it is done right. Def my favorite book from this series. (If y’all have any similar recs

I totally loved this book. Sammy and Theron were so perfect for each other. Sammy's background made me so sad. I cried when I read how he went from this confident individual to this scared guy due to one guys attitude. What made it extra sad is that I know that this happens too many times in the real world. I was really glad that Theron didn't have the reaction to the news Sammy shared that Sammy feared. Theron proved that he is the type of Daddy that Sammy needed.
Watching Sammy and Theron's relationship was special. Theron didn't try to move at a pace that would spook Sam, he went at the speed that worked for the both of them. Them finally coming together and being able to have the relationship they both were looking for was great. This story is my favorite in this series, so I totally recommend it.

It just wasn't long enough, I wanted more! This is a great read, the story of Sam and Theron. From book 1 I have just wanted Sam to get his hugs and Daddy and yay he did! Theron is perfect for him.

Dnf at 42%. This book is just not for me. I loved the first one in this series. The second one was slightly less for me. But this one made me quite uncomfortable

Sweet daddy kink romance, mild angst. Both main characters are well written, and I liked the importance of communication and trust in their relationship. . I did feel as if Sam and Theron fell in a love rather quickly, maybe a bit too easily, but that has its own charm too, of course. Great transgender representation, really loved how positively that aspect of Sam and Theron’s relationship was written. I was a little stumped by William’s facilitating role in the way they got together, but all involved seemed comfortable, and he proves himself a supportive friend to Sam. Sam’s parents were lovely too, and quite the surprise.

3.45 ⭐

Loved the ownvoices trans rep! It's really difficult to find trans rep in BDSM books and this one was so well done in both the kink and the rep!

As I already said in other reviews I'm not personally into age play and it's still something I can't always handle reading about it but I am trying to push myself lately and to educate myself more on kinks that are not my own and to get more comfortable with them.

That all said I really enjoyed this book! Theron is such a sweet and understanding man and Sam is so adorable and deserves all the love and the pampering in the world.

Same as the other books in the series I wouldn't have been against visiting more in depths some of the plot points/characters that are introduced, but I still had a great time reading this!
