She signs up for the PLAYTIME app, hoping for a Daddy who understands her needs. Roman Amato, a successful mall owner with a big heart, has everything except someone to love and care for. When Coco comforts his sick dog, he feels an instant pull — and the dating app’s MATCHED alert confirms what he’s already sensing. A sweet, hopeful story about two people discovering that the connection they’ve been searching for might be right in front of them. I enjoyed this sweet, feel‑good romance about love arriving exactly when two people need it most. Coco finally steps into the career she’s dreamed of, only to discover that fate has one more surprise waiting — a Daddy who sees her, cherishes her, and wants to give her the care she’s longed for. Roman, successful but lonely, never expects the gentle vet tech who soothes his dog to be the match he’s been searching for. Their connection feels like pure luck and perfect timing, the kind of serendipity that makes you smile as they find in each other what they’ve been missing. A tender, hopeful story about dreams coming true — in work, in love, and in finding the person who feels like home. This was an MF story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLG dynamic. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0GF3BRK23".

Casey Gutierrez, a drifting waiter who craves guidance and care, takes a holiday shift at Travis’s bar, and the spark between them is instant. Neither knows how to express what they need, but as their connection deepens, they slowly learn to communicate, trust, and build the kind of relationship both have been missing. I enjoyed this story. This was a tender, quietly emotional holiday romance about two men who’ve spent years wanting something they never quite knew how to ask for. Travis and Casey find in each other the connection they’ve been missing. Their chemistry is immediate, but what really shines is the vulnerability — two men learning to communicate, trust, and admit what they need. It’s sweet, gently steamy, and full of heart, proving that love doesn’t require perfection, just honesty and the courage to reach for it. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0F63QH8VD".

Wells 4 of 5 stars Aaron is a laid‑back park ranger who isn’t actively looking for love — and certainly not with a man. But when he meets Dean, a quiet painter visiting Acadia National Park, Aaron can’t shake the impression the artist leaves on him. Dean, a once‑famous painter recovering from past heartbreak, has returned to Maine hoping to rediscover his inspiration. The landscape revives his creativity, but it’s Aaron — kind, grounded, unexpectedly captivating — who awakens something deeper. As their friendship turns physical, Dean’s old fears resurface. He’s terrified of repeating past mistakes, while Aaron is surprised to find his assumptions about love — and who he might find it with — completely upended. Both men must decide whether this unexpected connection is worth the risk of opening their hearts. I loved this story which was a beautifully gentle romance that leans into emotional vulnerability and the quiet bravery it takes to open your heart again. Aaron’s easygoing nature hides a growing sense of loneliness, and watching him slowly realise that love doesn’t always look the way you expect is genuinely moving. Dean’s journey is even more poignant — a bruised soul trying to reclaim his creativity while protecting himself from another heartbreak. Their connection unfolds with a soft, steady tenderness, shaped by trust, hesitation, and the healing power of being truly seen. The story captures that delicate moment when two people, both unsure in different ways, choose to take a chance on something real. A heartfelt, introspective romance about rediscovery, emotional risk, and the unexpected ways love finds you. This was an MM story with mature content. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09PKH1JQJ".
