Dear Daddy, Please Hold Us by Colette Davison
4.0

Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.

I kissed the top of his head, catching Zeke’s stare as I did so. Zeke gave me a warm smile. There was no trace of jealousy in his eyes, only gratitude that I was taking care of the boy he loved.

A very cute book that pulled on my heartstrings. Two of the MCs (the little and the middle) have known each other since they were small. They’ve dated, they’ve broken up, they’ve gotten back together, and they’ve tried an open relationship. They love each other *so* much, but they’re both submissive (mostly) full-time bottoms, and they can’t quite make it work. Something is clearly missing, and que Micah the Daddy as a last ditch effort to try to salvage their situation. It sounds quite angsty but it honestly isn’t as most of happened before the book ever starts. It’s sad and you feel for them, but the book is mostly cuddles and fluff (and sex). Edit to say that even tho Zeke and Rett have tons of history, Micah never feels left out. They are definitely a balanced trio.

“Is this a dream?” I asked. “Is this real?” Micah ran his fingers back and forth over the small of my back. “Can’t it be both?”

This is the second time I tried reading it. As with the first try, I kinda lost interest around the 60% mark. Nothing I can put my finger on and certainly nothing wrong with it, it just kinda stalled out for me. This time I finished tho, and it continued to be sweet till the end. Some issues with their situation are introduced after 60% which for sure helped, but still very easy.

There’s a couple of the sex scenes that are really erotic and intimate, not just smutty, which was really nice. You really could feel their connection and love. There’s also just lots of smutty smut, lol. Did I mention there’s a double-ended dildo?
