Davey’s Rule #83: Daddy will encourage his boy
to be the best he can be and be supportive of his boy’s career choices.
Marcus Alves has waited most of his adult life
to find the perfect match. A sweetheart who will love cuddles, need a Daddy to
help him thrive, and most importantly… be the type of boy that might want to
use the binky that Marcus keeps hidden in his pocket. Now in his forties, he’s
refusing to give up on his dream—or the unused playroom that’s waiting for
someone to enjoy.
Jeff Robustelli has had a rough life. Growing up
in a commune with absent parents was hard for a rule-following straitlaced guy
with a genius IQ. When the uncle who saved him died, Jeff did what he does
best—buried his head in the sand and pretended life wasn’t changing. Working in
a Daddy club has shown him what he really wants, but Jeff is too afraid to take
a chance on something new.
When Jeff has a sudden need for a fake fiancé,
he strikes a deal with the older man who always seems to be there when his
world is crumbling and makes him feel safe. In exchange, he agrees to a fake
Daddy/boy experiment designed to let him try out being little without any
pressure.
While Marcus and Jeff navigate their “deal” and
the unexpected new feelings that begin to emerge, Marcus also must help the
younger man through a series of life changes that put him on the road to being
the adult he’s been too afraid to be. When everything in Jeff’s life is in
turmoil, Marcus is his one stability. But can Jeff trust his own heart when
nothing else in his life is making sense anymore?
This is the fifth book in a series about
not-so-perfect Daddies, adorable “boys,” and one sassy brat with an insane list
of rules. Grab your fan and tissues because this series comes with both a high
heat advisory and all the squishy feels you’d want from a Susan Hawke book.

Review
What is more beautiful than
when someone can be themselves, like totally, wholeheartedly, always and being
accepted for what you feel and want and need. It’s so special!
Marcus never gave up hope of
finding his own boy, his own little. He is prepared and so ready for it. Only
he never found him, yet. Until Jeff stumbles into his life.
Jeff’s life is difficult.
He never had real caring parents, he was raised in a cult where his father was
in charge and his mother was numbed by drugs. They wanted Jeff to marry the old
goddess of the sect and he never knew why. Luckily, he was saved by his uncle. Unfortunately,
his uncle died.
There are a few nasty
events in this story. Without spoiling I can say one is about Jeff, how he can
set himself free from his parents’ cult. He needs a fake fiancé. Marcus will
help him.
A bunch of awesome friends
and colleagues pass by with fun and serious matters.
The heart of this and every
other books of this series is Davey; he documents all the rules every good
Daddy should follow. There are some awful low and sparkling highlights.
A sweet and enjoyable story
with very lovable characters. Jeff’s high IQ was nicely woven into his
personality.
I know there are more and
more stories with Daddies and littles, I have to confess this was my first. The
dynamic between Daddy and little was fascinating. I was happily surprised by
the whole scenery and how they interact, I didn’t have a clue how this would
work in detail, I loved it. The way this story was told was quite fabulously.
Excerpt
My heart raced with excitement as I thought
about the surprise I'd left for him among the coloring books. "How about
we start easy? First off, I would like to call you Jeffy when we're together
like this. Is that okay?"
He seemed to consider that for a moment, his
lips silently forming the little name a few times before finally nodding.
"Jeffy. I like that because it's not too different from normal but sets me
apart when I'm being…" He paused, lowering his voice to a whisper as he
finished his sentence. "Little. It sets me apart when I’m little." He
was so earnest and sweet that I wanted to eat him up.
"Good boy. Thank you. The name suits you,
Jeffy. Now, why don't you look down on the bottom shelf and choose a coloring
book? There is also a plastic box filled with crayons that you'll want to
use."
Jeffy licked his lips and hesitated for half a
second before crouching and carefully examining the stack of coloring books. I
held my breath as I waited for him to get to the bottom. Somehow, I thought I
was safe ignoring Davey's advice about not having Jeff make choices when I'd
hidden the perfect surprise for him. It only took a few moments as he neatly
slid each book from the top of the stack and moved it to the bottom while he
carefully examined each one. I knew when he found it because he blew out his breath
so fast that it whistled through his front teeth.
He looked up at me with shining eyes and held
the coloring book high like a trophy. "Transformers? You have a
Transformers coloring book? And I can use it?"
I couldn't help but chuckle. "Not only can
you use it, but I got it especially for you. Why don't you look at the plastic
box beside them now? That was also chosen just for you."
He picked up the blue box with the metallic
logo, and the smile I got was worth the time I’d spent searching online for the
Transformers pencil box. After he put the other coloring books back on the
shelf—taking a moment to meticulously straighten them first—Jeffy stood,
hugging his prizes to his chest. He still looked like he had half a mind to
take off at the slightest provocation, but he wasn't looking quite as
overwhelmed as he had a few minutes ago.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
As an avid reader and big romance fan myself, I love sharing the stories of the different people who live in my imagination. My stories are filled with humor, a few tears, and the underlying message to not give up hope, even in the darkest of times, because life can change on a dime when you least expect it. This theme comes from a lifetime of lessons learned on my own hard journey through the pains of poverty, the loss of more loved ones than I'd care to count, and the struggles of living through chronic illnesses. Life can be hard, but it can also be good! Through it all I've found that love, laughter, and family can make all the difference, and that's what I try to bring to every tale I tell.
I'm a happily married
mom with one snarky teenage boy, and three grown "kids of my heart."
I'm more widely known for my mpreg writings as Susi Hawke; this new name is a
departure from that. Whether written by Susan or Susi, the books are filled
with that all-important love, laughter, and family I mentioned; the only
difference is that this name has no male pregnancy. I look forward to sharing
my stories with you, and to bringing more romance and laughter into this world
that needs it so very badly.
