This book felt different from the previous two in a way that was very interesting. Both in Garbage and Smart Ass both human love interests already have an affinity with robots and SPARKS. They're already friends with other SPARKS and know they're sexually interested in them. With Wallace that is not the case at all. Wallace is someone who has a professional interest in them because of his work, but there it kind of ends. For him this interest really had to slowly develop away from fear into something more like interest. This was a wonderful change to be a part of and see happening through the book. I am even more excited to see this grow into something more in the second book of this duology.

Volt, oh boy Volt. I want to wrap him in a hug and say it will be okay. This dude seems to be so full of stress he needs a break asap. The business at Prism is just not going well and it's weighing heavily on him. But then Wallace appears and gives him that break. A break to just forget for a moment and only think on how to make Wallace squeak. And gosh was that lovely to see. At the same time Wallace is full of stress just the same. His family are assholes and logically make him feel absolutely shit. So when both of them come together in the evenings, a place for both of them to relax, it made me relax too.

So uhm yeah at this point I will admit that daddy kink romances are extremely hot in my opinion. This book has plenty of that and it was great. Volt is such a natural Daddy and Wallace submits so beautifully. Together they make a wonderful team that give us great sex scenes. Wallace is not only new to SPARKS, he is also new to kink. Reading stories where people explore kink for the first time has something magical and this book hits that so well. The way they slowly explore things together for Wallace to open up to. Volt takes the lead so well and keeps things simple. Early in the book they start this thing where Volt will ask three things for Wallace to try or decline and they go from there. This was a very nice way to have Wallace try things while not overwhelming him. I was looking forward each night they were together to see what those three things would be and kept their meetups interesting throughout the book.

Concluding this book makes me so excited for the second part of this duology and is a must read for anyone who's into the series and maybe wants to explore more deep character growth.

I received an eARC and this was my honest review.
