Owning It

Metropolis, Book 3

De: Devon McCormack, Riley Hart

Narrado por: Michael Dean

Just out of an 18-year marriage, the last thing Jackson expects the first time he visits a gay bar is for a sexy, drunk, 26-year-old twink to mistakenly climb into his Jeep. The twink part he's good with, the drunk part...not so much. As far as Jackson's concerned, the boy should come with a warning label. But Derek is not as flighty as Jackson thought...he's actually pretty incredible. Getting to know the wild, funny man is a breath of fresh air. And when Derek calls him daddy? Christ, he never thought something like that would feel so right.

Derek has serious daddy issues, and his name is Jackson. He's stubborn and controlling...and ever since Derek woke up in the silver fox's condo, he can't get Jackson out of his mind. Maybe because no matter how many times he throws himself at him, Jackson doesn't take the bait. And maybe because Jackson is the one person who sees him for who he really is. But Derek loves a challenge, and he's eager to rock Jackson's world.

Jackson isn't interested in a meaningless hookup. He wants the real Derek, not just the sassy jokester everyone else sees. But it's not easy for Derek to open up. He feels much safer guarding his heart. And Jackson needs to figure out the balance between living for himself and the mountain of responsibilities weighing him down. Derek and Jackson must find the common ground between hookup and commitment - if they can't own their issues and work together to overcome their faults, they could smother the flame between them that's just beginning to ignite.

Hot Steamy

I love this book. Perfect. And the narrator makes an amazing work. Not difficult to follow and understand for an Spanih reader/listener. Very recomended.

Favorite so far! Daddy oh daddy

I really enjoyed this story I recommend it Derricks story is happy , I like Jackson for him

Love Derrick!

This book was wonderful. l didn't want it to be over!
Narrator was the best

So hot!

Daddy kink isn't usually y thing, but it worked here. I think part of what made it work so well was Michael Pauley's narration. Great story. Great authors and great narrator.

Yeah, my mind went there ...

SPOILER ALERT!!

With the whole Daddy thing, I just wanted it to advance to the next level and would have given anything to see a Zane, Derek, Jackson sandwich. I mean, the ages are perfect for such activities. Maybe something to look forward to in books to come. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Derek is not my favorite character in the series and the 'opposites attract' juxtaposition in this book just didn't work for me. I like how the authors tried to give depth to Derek, but in the first 2 books I just found him so annoying. I did like the character development in this book, but Derek was irredeemable as far as I'm concerned.

Decent story, wish the authors had explored the 'family dynamic' in more detail.

Derek and Jackson's story

This is an enjoyable, light read/listen. I have just finished the four books in the series and enjoyed the read, and I loved Michael Pauley's narration. Worth a credit.

I love Derek

Out of all the books in this series this has to be one of my favorites. I absolutely adore Derek and his sassy personality. and it's always Michael P does a fabulous job with all the voices.

I Freaking Love theses books

The Metropolis Series tugs at my heart strings and really makes me fall in love with these characters. I love these books and I only wish Riley hart would write another one.

Nice story, great narration

Liked the character construction, the flow of the story was perfect to me. I am glad I get this series. The stories are written very well and what a steamy storyline.

Great narration too!

B+ rating...

My Review:
Overall: 4.0
Performance: 4.5
Story: 3.5

Confession: Even after reading/listening to this book, I still just do NOT get the Daddy kink. It's seriously creepy to me, but beyond that, this book was enjoyable.

For me, Jackson made this book. (And again, I probably would have liked Derrick more if it wasn't for the whole 'daddy' thing.) Jackson has never been with a guy. He's bisexual, but he fell in love with his ex-wife when he was only 16...and she got pregnant. So Jackson never got to be that young, experimental guy. Now he's 37 and exploring for the first time ever.

Derrick is the group's manslut, and pretty proud of it. He will sleep with anyone, pretty much. But Jackson definitely pushes all his buttons, so he chases Jackson big time. Jackson also isn't sure about the whole 'daddy' thing, but he finds himself intrigued by Derrick. And then he starts to realize there's much more to Derrick than he ever lets anyone know.

The real moments between these two made the book. There are truly some sweet ones and then when Jackson's real son, Zane, gets involved...I couldn't listen to the book fast enough.

This has been an interesting series. I'm looking forward to more from it. There were a couple of new characters introduced in this story that I hope are coming soon!
