Pick Us, Daddy by TL Travis
4.0
I really liked Pick Us, Daddy - it combines some of my favourite tropes found family, age gap, daddy dom, pet play and the healing power of being seen in relationships.
Stefan and Riya are in a committed, happy relationship and while both love pet play (Stefan is a pup and Riya a kitten) they do feel that they are missing something, or someone - a handler that will understand and cherish them. Enter Jonovan, an older, lonely Daddy who not only sees Stefan and Riya's love for each other as special and something to be cherished, but also sees them as individuals worthy of love in their own right.
This book does take a few dark turns with past SA abuse that one of the MMCs endured, that happens off-page but, is described. This incident has had a lasting impact on Riya (and Stefan) and could very easily have overshadowed the love story. It is handled sensitively, and while the impact of it is not diminished, the focus is on the support the character receives, not only from the two men in his life, but also the BDSM community as a whole.
This book was a sweet, quick and delightful read that I enjoyed very much
