Only, when he gets there, he finds out it is different in so many ways to the job he thought he was applying for. Told from Jensen's perspective, we see his reaction to the new job and the responsibilities he would have. We also see his attraction to first Luke, and then Noah, as he deals with his new life.
I enjoyed this story! I don't read them claiming to have firsthand knowledge of what the author has gotten right or wrong. I read them to escape to a different place/land/experience. And that's exactly what I got here. I loved reading about the dynamics of the Ranch and everyone who works there. I also enjoyed reading about the 'guests' and the antics they got up to. The descriptions of the ranch and the different people made it all easy to follow.
Personally, I would have liked a little more between Luke, Noah, and Jensen that wasn't between the sheets. Not that it wasn't hot, because it was! My Kindle was steaming but I wanted more between them. And with that in mind, the ending felt rather abrupt. It felt like... big scene with Luke (that may or may not have an impact on what he wants in the future), sub drop, quick confession to Jensen, living proposal in the woods. Now, bearing in mind, this all takes place in about a 3-4 week period...
All in all, I enjoyed it and look forward to reading more in this series. Definitely recommended by me. ** same worded review will appear elsewhere **

A KITTEN FOR DADDY is part of the Pride Pet Play series featuring different authors. I have read and enjoyed this author's works previously but somethA KITTEN FOR DADDY is part of the Pride Pet Play series featuring different authors. I have read and enjoyed this author's works previously but something about this one just didn't push all the buttons for me.
We have Kolly, a shy, flexible kitten who wants to be looked after, not just have a hook-up. And then there's Boston, who wants more and doesn't think he'll get it. Boston helps Kolly when he is in a situation completely out of his comfort zone and it quickly moves on from there.
These two are hot in the bedroom but I would have liked more of a connection between them at other times. Some of the things Boston send were just... strange, to me. And I really disliked how he kept telling Kolly how he always did this with "his boys." Surely, if you're trying for a relationship, the last thing you do is constantly bring up those from your past. For me, this is definitely more about pet play than age play. Boston wanted a kitten, not a boy.
Overall, this was an enjoyable story, just not one of my favourites. I'm sure it will tick boxes for plenty of others though. ** same worded review will appear elsewhere **

SLOW MOTION is part of the Pet Play by the Lake series and is the first book by this author I have read.
To be honest, it didn't work as well for me asSLOW MOTION is part of the Pet Play by the Lake series and is the first book by this author I have read.
To be honest, it didn't work as well for me as some of the others. I get that 'real life' can get in the way of a relationship, but the time our two MCs spent apart was more than together, or so it felt. I also didn't get how Dale suddenly became a sloth and a boy. All it took was one comment and he's there. The whole relationship between Dale and Troy just felt a bit off, and that's not even taking into account how it ended with Leif!
The best part of this story were the Misfits. I loved each and every one of the characters and how they all came together.
I thought the premise of this story was a good one, with some brilliant characters, but I found the two main characters to be quite disappointing with their actions and behaviour.
And I still have absolutely no idea what a sloth does apart from hugging people! ** same worded review will appear elsewhere **

HANGING WITH DADDY is part of the Pride Pet Play 2023 multi-author series and, to my delight, we return to a character already known - Austin. If you HANGING WITH DADDY is part of the Pride Pet Play 2023 multi-author series and, to my delight, we return to a character already known - Austin. If you have read A Little Christmas: Terrence then you will know Austin was the one who pushed Warner to help Terrence, cheering them on from the sidelines. Well, now it's his turn and Oh. My. Word!!!
Austin and Gaines are just a perfect couple. Austin is open-minded enough to try things he's never considered before. In this case, being a handler for a very flexible Koala. The scenes with both of them are HOT! The scenes where it's just one give a greater insight into their feelings and emotions, as well as moving the story along. I love Warner and Terrence making an appearance and how Terrence is being drawn into their friendship group. But there's one in that group that I now need a story for - Matty!
I am thoroughly enjoying the Pet Play series and have read some very different stories with different animals. I love the dogs and cats but I have to admit, this koala was so cute! The characteristics, the costumes; I love it all.
No matter how many books I read by this author, I always want more! HIGHLY recommended by me. ** same worded review will appear elsewhere **

FLYING HARD FOR FINN is another in the Pet Play by the Lake series and introduced me to dove play. I've read about puppies, ponies, and bunnies, but nFLYING HARD FOR FINN is another in the Pet Play by the Lake series and introduced me to dove play. I've read about puppies, ponies, and bunnies, but never a bird. It started off differently than usual too, which I thought was brilliant.
Finn is the younger one in the couple. When the story starts, he is a handler without a pet because puppies and kittens just don't do it for him. That changes when he sees a dove. It changes even more so when he realises he knows who the dove is - his step-uncle of the past four years.
There is lots going on here and with a slight hint of taboo-but-not-really. Theo is a brilliant character but his ex, Isaac, is a douche through and through. Finn has more understanding and patience than most twenty-three-year-olds. Together, it works.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to more in this series. Definitely recommended by me. ** same worded review will appear elsewhere **

PRANCING WITH DADDY is a book in the Pet Play by the Lake series, and features characters from another of Morticia Knight's books, although you don't PRANCING WITH DADDY is a book in the Pet Play by the Lake series, and features characters from another of Morticia Knight's books, although you don't have to have read that one.
Shane is definitely one to squidge - if he lets you! He has a no-nonsense and organised attitude and longs to give in to his show-pony side but, after being humiliated by his previous partner, just watches from the sidelines. Cody is younger than Shane, a rancher from Montana, who just wants to wrap Shane up and give him the security he needs to play.
This story ticked all of the boxes for me. I loved how it turned on its head every single assumption you might make; giving you an in-depth story that was rich in emotion, had a fast pace, and yet still gave you time to enjoy the story as it progressed.
I loved the pony play and the relationship between Cody and Shane. The one I want more of though is Mason! He's only a very small character in this but had a big impact. I need to find his story!
A great read that I thoroughly enjoyed and HIGHLY recommend. ** same worded review will appear elsewhere **
