Surprise Play by Carly Marie
4.0

Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.

My husband, my lover, my best friend, my Daddy. One man held so many titles and each one of them was special, each one unique.

I don’t tend to read standalones with an established couple, but a good friend recommended this one. It’s a really sweet novella with husbands discovering and exploring a new kink together, and it really was delightful. One MC comes home to see his husband sleeping with a pacifier, and it’s the catalyst for them exploring age play.

I enjoyed how, even though they were new to the lifestyle *officially*, when the daddy MC looks back, he can see how this whole thing didn’t actually come out of nowhere. I don’t think it would’ve worked as well as it did if it felt like it came out of the blue for both guys.

I was in the mood for a low angst novella, and this one really hit the spot. Definitely recommend if you want to read something short and well written. Oh, and if you like age play. I would say it’s pretty ‘mild’. No ABDL.

We’d worked so hard to make it to the Super Bowl, and now that it was time to get our head into that game, our record-holding wide receiver was in little space and had been for the last four hours.

I watched as he pushed the pacifier into his mouth, then chuckled as my six-foot-two-inch, NFL star husband nearly skipped out of my office.
