Amedeo has sworn off boys since his last one cheated on him. When he sees friends of Ryder, his brother Vincenzo's boy, he changes his mind. Cyan rocks his world. Cyan is mature, chubby, and the perfect little for him. Cyan also is an IT professional who helps the Lucianos when a problem arises with a leak. Unfortunately, the Riccardis have another use for Cyan. Can Amedeo save him? Will Cyan and Amedeo get their happily ever after?

I love this series. There is humor, love, and show more action/adventure here. I like that Cyan has the kinks that Amedeo is looking for in a boy. I like that Amedeo is ready to battle anyone who hurts Cyan and that he encourages Cyan to do what feels good for him. I enjoyed Amedeo trying new kinks with Cyan which Cyan finds out he likes. Amedeo's family is even crazier in this book. We really learn a lot about his parents in this story. This is, once again, a hot read. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series. show less

In a short time, they are inseparable. Will it work out for them? Will their pasts come back to hurt them?

I enjoyed this show more sweet story. I liked that they had issues in their lives where they made conscious choices to let each other into their lives. I liked how Waxley's chronic illness gave Wren ways to help him. I loved Waxley's acceptance of Wren's cuddly body. I appreciated them focusing on the positive rather than the negatives of their lives. They are so cute! I loved Wren's acceptance of all of Waxley's Little side and how he finds joy in it. I loved Waxley's happiness in the cuddling and hugging he can do with Wren. Waxley has obligations in his life that he wants to fulfill and that he does fulfill. though Wren wants to fix it all, but Wren steps back and allows Waxley to make his decisions for his big life.

This is just a sweet story where I was rooting for the two of them. And they made it. show less

Ryder is looking for a Daddy who wants an older fluffy man. Vincenzo is looking for a little to cuddle with and to take care of. They meet online. Their first two dates get interrupted by Vincenzo's family's business. Finally, Vincenzo and Ryder get their long awaited date and it is better than either could imagine. They have found the partners they have searched for all their lives. Then they talk about their lives. Will it be a deal breaker for Ryder? Will Vincenzo be able to get his dad show more off Ryder's back?

I enjoyed this book. I adored Ryder. He was in little headspace a lot. I liked watching Vincenzo trying to get his family to leave them alone so they could have a long date instead of the quickies they'd been having. I liked watching Vincenzo and his brothers messing with each other. Their parents are something else.

I loved all the tropes in this book--Mafia, Daddy/little, action/adventure, humor. There's a little bit of everything here. It was a fun read--somewhat over the top but I knew that Ryder and Vincenzo were perfect for each other. Plus this was hot!

I look forward to Vincenzo's brothers stories. I hope Ryder's friends and Vincenzo's brothers can make matches or at least have good times. show less

Tommaso is looking for a little. When he sees Enzo with his brothers' littles, he falls in lust with him and wants to get closer. Tommaso knows it's love, but Enzo has no desire to get involved with Tommaso who is a decade younger and more handsome and cut. But Tommaso is persistent. He asks Enzo to go to Sicily with the family to visit their grandparents. Enzo tries to tell him no but Tommaso tells him he'll pay him to be his fake boyfriend. Enzo agrees then realizes he's been lying to show more himself about Tommaso. Will Enzo let Tommaso know of his feelings? Will these two get the happy ending that Tommaso's brothers got?

I enjoyed this story. It was funny (though at times a little gross.) Tommaso is always being dissed by his brothers and cousins. Their family is very open about everything. I liked watching Enzo's feelings change. I liked how Enzo comforted Tommaso after a particular brutal dissing session. I liked the action/adventure aspect and agree with Medici (read it and find out why.)

I am looking forward to reading Medici's story. show less
