A review by ivyromancerecs
Dom of Ages by Parker Williams, K.C. Wells

4.0

Jarod and his master were together for over 20 years until tragedy struck, leaving the boy without someone to guide him. After 4 years of mourning, he ventures back into the scene to be met ageism and hateful comments. He’s ready to throw in the towel and accept that he’ll never belong to anyone again. That is until a handsome younger Dom notices him.

After years of being with fake submissives, Eli is ready for the real thing. The second he sees the gorgeous older man kneeling by himself, he knows he’s found a true submissive. But can he be the guiding hand Jarod so desperately needs after all these years alone?

This was the first book in the series I read and I was hooked! I instantly fell in love with Jarod and got emotional reading about his grief. He and Eli have a beautiful journey learning about how every D/s relationship is unique and what works for them.

The only reason I removed a star was because Jarod’s mother made me uncomfortable. She seems WAY to involved in his sex life, even going to his collaring ceremony in their gay BDSM club and giving Eli sex tips.

Luckily, she doesn’t appear often so it didn’t take me out of the story too much. I do highly recommend this book. One of my favorite sub-genres is the younger Dom/older sub relationships. The side characters their relationships were also intriguing enough that I went back to read the rest of the series.

TW: I don’t recall if it states it in the book, but there is a borderline suicide/self-harm attempt on page.
