Well this was a "little" slice of joy.
Super short, sweet and wholesome (and k!nky) romance with an established couple. After 10 years Phil needs something, and this novella show's him asking for it and receiving it.
Top tier disability representation, I adored that it showed Jason's internal conflict and how a supportive partner can really make things less overwhelming.
The author was new to me and I'll be looking to read more of their work in the future.

I received this book as an ARC - my first ever ARC, in fact!
This is a short and sweet bite-sized romance about a married couple dealing with some insecurities and uncertainties. Even with how short it was, I connected with the characters and understood where they were each coming from with their own insecurities.
It's only about 15K/50 pages long, so it's the perfect refreshing quick read for anyone looking for something with a HEA other books, or who might be in a bit of a reading slump!

This was a super quick read.
3 stars because there were parts of this that I really liked and parts that didn’t seem quite right, at least to me.
I mostly liked how transness was depicted, though there were a few times it felt like it was getting a bit close to toxic masculinity. I’m certainly not saying how a trans man can talk about himself, this is just how it came across to me.
I also like how disability was depicted. I really liked how accepting both Philip and Jason are to what the other needs, in terms of affirming actions (Philip) and physical needs (Jason).

Anything You Want is a short and sweet story for Jason and his boy, Phil/Pip, who have been together for ten years now but each man seems to be worried about something.
It's adorable reading Phil go from adult to little as it's such a quick change and Jason's love for him as both shines through. Though it's a novella, there's a fair amount of history given on the journey they've had in life so far and then about what they both have on their mind at the moment. I felt like we get to know them quite quickly and understand the worries they have, each valid but with a little communication, minds are put to rest.
A recommended read from this author. I love her other work that most often includes members of the disabled and trans community. I would love to hear from and explore more with this couple again in the future to see how things progress.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

This is a sweet, short story about an existing couple, Phillip and Jason who are in a daddy/boy relationship.
Phillip has got something on his mind and he has been keeping it from his daddy. Jason loves his boy but is struggling with his health issues. This is a short story but it confirms that a boy shouldn’t keep secrets from his daddy and that a daddy should never forget that his boy will look after him too. A really well written and heartwarming story.

This was cute, adorable, steamy... sigh. It was just a short glimpse into a couples' life but it was such a meaningful one.

This is a sweet and sexy story that gives you a look into the lives of Phillip and Jason. The two have been happily together for years but recently there seems to be some tension between them. It all comes to a head one night when Jason and Phillip finally decide to figure things out. I enjoyed the love and emotions throughout this book. It was nice to see the interactions and the connection that Phillip and Jason have. This story may be a quick one, but it has a lot to say. The two men quickly endeared themselves to this reader and seeing the depth of their relationship made for a wonderful read.
