Spencer's Satisfaction by Anna Sparrows
4.0

Book safety, content warnings, and tropes & tags down below.

Is it too soon to want Spencer to stay the night? Or is it normal to get this clingy with the man who just gave me my first real taste of carnal delights? Is it lame to use the phrase ‘carnal delights’? Even in my thoughts? I feel like it is. Oh, God, I’m overthinking things.

This book is just a really sweet, low angst kink exploration romance. I think it’s done really well, and shows how someone can explore kinks and their sexuality both alone and with a partner. I know age play isn’t for everyone, but I feel like the type of kink isn’t *as* important as everything else here. It’s an important part, sure, but I feel like the self-exploration, and the building of trust with a partner in order to give the BDSM lifestyle a try should be the takeaway. It’s also just an adorable meet cute with one MC recognizing the voice of his favorite audiobook narrator, and them getting to know each other, going on cute dates, and finding what works for them. Kink-wise and in general. If you enjoy Daddy/little, BDSM, ABDL, or if you’re just curious, I think this series in general is a good place to start. Anna Sparrows has written a series that is really accessible and kink-friendly with very likable characters.

So, if you’re uncomfortable at any time, you can say ‘red light’ and we’ll stop immediately, no questions asked. And the same goes for me. If I say it, we stop.” I nod again. “Even if we’re not, um, Daddy and little boy, or whatever?” “At any time, Tony. I take consent seriously across the board.”

Consent is sexy.

His big brown eyes widen comically, and I swear his jaw actually drops. “A second date?” He shakes his head and laughs, but it’s a bitter, self-deprecating sound that sets my teeth on edge. “With me?”
