**4.5**
A beautiful story of a young, gay, trans man getting his HEA with and loving, understanding and giving Daddy as they explore a possible relationship and his Little side.
Sam does not have faith in himself or his abilities when it comes to his work at The Lodge regardless of how much his friends say otherwise and how successful the new room at the club is. He's stressing on his schoolwork, his loud and ignorant housemates and now his new attraction to Theron.
Theron is attracted to Sam as soon as he sees him and when they properly meet and get to know each other, he falls for the man and the boy. They both find out things about themselves as they explore Sam's little side and their physical relationship, some of it completely new each of them. It's wonderful to read as the trust is built and feelings develop on both sides, of course with a little push and help from their friends. William especially steps up to the plate as a protector for Sam, who had a bad experience when his trans status was revealed to his ex, to ensure that whoever wants to be with him understands and treats him right.
I really enjoyed the relationship that unfolded for Sam and Theron. Sam needs a fair amount of support from his partner/Daddy and Theron is the perfect man for the job. I love the exploration that they do together though Theron is definitely needed to guide Sam when it comes to looking after himself, eating and sleeping right especially.
A great story that is a positive addition to the series and very well written by Quinn Ward.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

Another great story in this series. I enjoyed watching Sam and Theron together and with their friends. Sam is such a sweetheart but is scared of how others will react when they know the real him. Theron is so patient and understanding but just needed the right person to make him take a chance. I really like the story, though I am not very good when series stories overlap because I always feel like they become inconsistent. There were some things I felt mentioned but ignored later or glossed over that would have been good to talk more about.

So freaking adorable

Sam is the most adorable little and Theron is such a sweet and understanding Daddy! One of the best reads I’ve read so far this year! Loved it!

Through the earlier books in this series (which you don't need to read to love this one), Sam has been a bit of an enigma to me. I adored him, but knew there was something more to him.

Trust In Me was full of surprises. As things were revealed, there was more than once that i said "I was not expecting that!".

Sam was just everything I wanted him to be. My heart went out to him and I adore Theron. His sensitivity and care when it came to Sam is what we all need in a partner.

I am looking forward to more of The Lodge in the future.

Sam's world

Sam thinks he will never find the love he longs for because he is trans. Theron meets Sam and HS world is suddenly all right. A great read with an author who handled a tough subject with grace.

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.
