In another book I enjoyed recently, a character points out that no kinks are set in stone. This book presented another intriguing reversal in that regard, but I enjoyed seeing Rhys relying on his own support system to address and rectify the problem he creates. Often in romance novels, the “dominant” partner (no matter the genders or scenario involved) leads the relationship and guides the other. However, the care Rhys feels for Cornell is clear from day one, even if he is a bit manipulative in swaying Cornell. Trust and open communication are essential in any relationship, not just romantic ones, and especially not just kinky romantic ones. Neither man is perfect, and I’m glad that Rhys ends up facing the consequences of keeping information from Cornell. Luckily, Rhys is there to help him out, and their relationship naturally evolves from there. My heart broke right away for the situation Cornell finds himself in at the beginning of this story. However, I enjoy subversion of pretty much any tropes, and the age-reversal for this book intrigued me.

It’s the second book in the Perfect Hands series but can be read as a stand-alone.Now that I understand a little bit more about Daddy kink, I can say that it’s probably never going to be a go-to theme for my romance novel addiction. Please note trigger warnings for mild homophobia, parental mistreatment, and depression.
