I really enjoyed the book, some of the French is wrong but it was still fine, and interesting to have a bilingual character ! Favorite book in this series so far !

I really enjoyed Kipp and Teddy’s story. Kipp was such a fun and layered character. Scatter-brained, chaotic, funny but also sweet, lonely, an over-thinker.
Teddy’s name is perfect for this mega teddy bear of a man. The way he just took care of Kipp was so swoon-worthy.
They both found each other when they needed most and I fell for them as they went from being married to being in love.
The steam? Holy moly on a cannoli. It was scorching. I love some good caretaking, some Daddy Dom vibes, so this was fire. And babydoll?? Hell to the yes.
I also appreciate the non-happy ending with Kipp’s parents. Even if it hurt, it felt real. There is no magic cure in real life, no fairy tale fix for shitty people. Sometimes those meant to love you most just..don’t. So even though I love when MCs reconcile with their families, when the characters recognize their wrong ways and decide to be better, I also appreciate the flip side of the coin. It’s reality, it’s relatable, it’s validating.
And despite everything, we get to see Kipp find his own happiness and create his own accepting family. And that’s beautiful and heartwarming and soul soothing.
I obviously had a lot of emotional ups and downs reading this book, but I very much enjoyed the whole ride and continue to love this series.
I received a copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews, and this is my honest review.
CW and tropes (spoilers):
- Pornstar MC
- Wake up married trope
- Only one bed trope
- Found family
- Salsa dancing

“Mine to use and cherish and play with. Is that what you want, Kipp? To be treated like the precious babydoll you are?” Fucking hell. I drop my head to the wall, panting into the steamy air. “Words, sweetheart.” “Yes,” I whisper, licking my lips. “Yes. Please.”

Doll. Fuck, why is that so hot? I shouldn’t want to be compared to something pretty and delicate and oftentimes feminine, should I?
“Good doll.” Holy fucking hell.

Oh my goodness! I absolutely love this series and this book was a great addition. I loved the taste of kink. I’m also a sucker for woke up married and sharing a bed from the beginning. Emmy you’re so talented!!

Teddy and Kipp
I've loved all this series but I think this one might have pushed its way to the top!
It's an emotional fun loving read after the drunk in Vegas wedding but it hits hard and the Dom sub , daddy kink is written really well!
Teddy and Kipp get there HEA but oh Kipps family...woah!
And Teddy's is part good part bad..and well Tink is a loveable as always.

This book can be read without reading the others in the series. It is sort of enemies to lovers and a drunk wedding. I really enjoyed Kipp and Teddy. Teddy is a caretaker dom and Kipp is new to that world. As both get to know each other their feelings change and grow.
