To be honest, I'm not really into Daddy kink books, but I guess I still have a morbid curiosity about them, and since I liked the previous Ballsy Boys series, I decided to take a chance with the 1st book of this spin-off.
Well, this book was surprisingly sweet, and I liked the way the kink was broached. It was obvious that Joey craved a connection with someone, that he needed to be taken care of. He craved the emotional and physical connection with a partner, and what he missed was ... a Daddy (god that sounds sooooo corny !). I liked his pairing with Hunter, they had real chemistry and it was sweet to see the development of their relationship. The best scene of the book, for me, was when Hunter explained the dynamic of the D/B relationship to Joey, because we could feel the chemistry between them, and their mutual desire of exploring this particular dynamic.
I was expecting more sex scenes, at least more porn scenes, but this is just the launch of the series (along with the studio's), and we meet (very briefly) some characters who will no doubt be the future heroes of other books in the series. I'm not sure what to expect on the kinky side of the next books, though.
Hunter was a nice character, a sweet and tender man who likes to take care of the people around him. Joey ... hmmm .... he didn't always sound like a 40 years old man, more like a twenty-ish something guy. I can't put my finger on it ... Maybe it's because in the daddy books I've read before, the boy was (much) younger than his lover and I had a hard time picturing a mature man in a boy's shoes, per se ... I don't know ...
It was a nice sugary book, but I don't have much to say about it. Yes it was sweet and I liked some parts of it, but I couldn't really connect with the characters, the whole story was smooth, too smooth, and quite a little boring, actually. When I read a romance, I need my butterflies and there was no butterflies here ... I can't say I'm disappointed, considering I had zero expectations here, but what I can say is that I won't remember much of this book in a few weeks.

The first half of this was perfect, and the second part was too sweet and too over the top. I lost the depth of Joey and Hunter, and they became these cutter cookie boyfriends. I enjoyed the writing style and I really enjoyed the story, but I wish the second part had more depth, more exploration into their new dynamic, new relationship. Rather than skipping over these parts and showing me their perfect love making.

An incredibly adorable story that handled the daddy kink/community in a caring and representative manner.

My favourite thing about the book was probably the fact that it didn't focus only on the daddy/boy kink but also had a perfect storyline without it.
Joey and Hunter were such fun characters to follow and now I want to check out the Ballsy boys, especially Pixie because he sounds like such a fun character.

MM Daddy Dom Romance with an older couple
Book 1 in the K/Kinky Boys series, a spinoff from the Ballsy Boys series.
Joey is sure he's straight. After all, he's been the lead camera operator for the Ballsy Boys gay porn studio for 10 years without reacting to any of the shoots.
But then he films his first Daddy Dom shoot and starts feeling new things. And the he moves back to Vegas and joins Daddy Hunter in setting up Kinky Boys, the kinkier partner to Ballsy Boys. And suddenly he is feeling a lot more than he ever has before.
I really enjoyed this sweet, spicy, pretty low angst MM romance. The older MCs, lack of an age or big size difference and demisexual rep really mad either for me.
In this you'll find:

All I want to read at the moment is lovely stories of people falling in love and not much angst, that was perfect for my mood.

I really enjoyed the Ballsy boys so hearing about this spin off series felt like Christmas to me. Daddy was a decent way to start this new series. It was nice seeing how each guy was chosen and getting glimpses into what was to come.
As for the relationship aspect I enjoyed it. I really liked the same age d/s theme but often times forgot Joey was the same age as Daddy...he seemed so innocent and young. I expected a little more heat but for how the two were I think it worked out well being able to Joey realizes that oh heck maybe he isn’t so straight after all and seeing Daddy pine but still take care of him.
Overall, I liked Daddy and I’m really excited to see where this series goes especially after meeting everyone and seeing Joey’s little observations of them at the end.
I give this about 3.75 stars!!
