A review by booksafety
Viking Ink by Myf Wren
5.0
Book safety, tropes and tags down below.
I read this book a second time (in a short amount of time), and I’m pretty confident in saying it’s my favorite Daddy/little book. I adore books with this kink, as they usually contain a bunch of caregiving, cuddles and fluff. Reading these books is like draping yourself in a warm blanket. Or something. I’m no poet. But, my point is, this book is all the best parts of Daddy kink rolled into one book.
«Rhys gave a wide smile and skipped down the stairs. ‘Rhys, take them slow. We don’t need you with any more bruises.’ ‘Yes, Simon,’ Rhys called over his shoulder, not slowing in the slightest.»
I’m completely in love with both main characters. Rhys and Simon will give you all the warm and fuzzies. You shouldn’t let all the happy vibes distract from the serious topics raised in the book, though. Rhys didn’t have an easy life, and trauma is definitely a part of the book, but without overshadowing the lovestory, and without making it too dark.
It also has the cutest nickname origin-story ever (Baby Bear):
«[…] instead I’d pulled out the brown one my brother had bought me as a joke last Christmas. It had fluffy bear ears on the top and eyes on the front. I looked at what I had in my hands and muttered a curse, but before I could shove it back in the cubby hole, Rhys’s slender fingers snagged it from my hands. His eyes glittered with mirth, but also delight. ‘A bear beanie! Please can I wear it?’ His blue eyes were round with excitement and he was practically bouncing on his feet.»
Simon is also a highly relatable character, lol.
«I tried exercising once - worst fifteen minutes of my life […]»
