Publisher's Summary

As the lead vocalist for country music’s hottest band, Derek Edwards knows that coming out as gay could mean the end of his career. With his life in the spotlight and too much on the line, Derek won’t let himself think about finding a boyfriend, much less the daddy he desperately desires.  

Sheriff Colt Westfield has better things to do than following Hollywood heartthrobs or the latest singing sensations. So, when one drink turns into a mind-blowing one-night stand, he has no idea who he was with. That is, until he’s dragged to a concert and sees his sexy one-night stand strutting around on stage.  

With a record label, management team, and fans watching, will they be able to find what they both need?

One upside

I don’t like to read too many reviews before I start a book, so I was unaware of the diaper play. It is not my type of kink, but there’s a flavor for everyone. That said the narrators voice was very nice.

very sanguine, sweet, dull

The idea of a Daddy Boy relationship was not something I've thought of but this book was suggested to me because of the ABDL side. There was no controversy, there was no problems. This could have been a Hallmark card movie it was so sweet clean. This basically was a good fairy tale where everything turns out well. The lead character comes out as gay and no one seemed to care much. He is caught calling his boyfriend Daddy and no one really cared or said much. He was caught in diaper and kid pajamas and all that was said was that they did not want to know what goes on. A nice story but dull.

A sense of Hone

With the pressures of being in the limelight, Derrick was looking for some anonymity for a while. When a hookup with Colt led to some that and so much more, they both could not deny themselves and had to pursue what was between them.
Thus began a relationship that provided nurturing, care, love and the ability for both of them to express their true selves.
I loved how well Derrick took to the lifestyle and was eager to explore all aspects of it.
As situations arose, Colt stood by him and provided the support he needed.
A fantastic debut novel from the author.

The narration was good, but I found the voice a bit gruff at times for the little scenes and the joy that needed to be portrayed from it.

Great

I do love me some kinky stuff, especially age play and this book hit the spot. Derek and Colt hit it off right off the bat and are so great together.

I loved how their needs complemented each other and how much support Colt was to Derek when he needed it. I felt for Derek when the stress and schedule was overwhelming him but it was amazing how just one day of letting it all go helped him to center and be ready to face the problems the next day, we all have something that does it but Colt did it for him.

I look forward to more of these books and can’t wait to see what other kinks the author brings out.

Bolton Hill did a great job on the narration, I thought the voices he used were perfect for the characters and was glad he did go to the extreme with them as many I have listened to lately have. His reading also didn't run together so it was easy to keep track of the story. This is a book that I read not too long ago so it was nice to just let the story wash over me.

I received a copy of this book and am giving an honest review.

Funny, sexy and full of love

I love this book by Carly Marie, a story of a DD Colton and his lb Derek who is exploring the lifestyle for the first time. Colton has so much patience, understanding and love for his lb. Derek who has so much stress from his life as a famous country singer thrives under the care of his Daddy. And Bolton Hill does a great job of bringing it to life. I will definitely be listening to this over and over again. And I love the way Bolton says "Daddy" as Derek 😍

At Home

This book was cute.. A younger country singer and an older sheriff... Instant attraction, right off the start with some lighter kink included. I liked how well the author seamlessly introduced the Daddy/Little aspect of this book. It was well done and not totally in your face extreme, with some light ABDL included. Just perfect for this book and these characters. I loved the Dynamic Derek and Colt had, and I loved how well Colt took care of Derek as soon as see saw him struggling and needing some direction, but he wasn't overbearing about it and that made this story great.

Audio - My first time listening to this narrator Bolton Hill, but I think he did an absolutely amazing job when it came to Derek, especially when he was "little" I did get lost in the story a few times and had to do some re-winding but that happens occasionally and shouldn't reflect bad on the narrator or author, I think they both did a commendable job with this book and I enjoyed it.

Cute story with a good narrator

Aww I loved this audio. I loved the ebook too, but the audio was really good too. I listened it two times already, Colt and Derek are just so cute together and I love their story so much.

The narrator was good, I liked his voices for Colt and Derek and everything was lovely.

Derek was a good character and i loved how he was struggling with his emotions and the need to be cared for and finally feel what meant to be a little♥ And Colt was such a good Daddy! I loved how he wasn't Colt for Derek, simply just Daddy. And the scenes when Derek was little awwwwww, so cute!

Highly recommend this book and the audio too!

Travis and Derek are Amazing

I make no secret of the fact that I love this book. This book was everything I want in a DD/lb book. Carly Marie makes it seem easy to tell the story of a Daddy and a Little who is exploring the lifestyle for the first time. Now you add in the unbelievably outstanding narration of Bolton Hill and this audio book has made it on the list of audio that I will listen to over and over.

Sweet and sexy

Having already read and loved this series, I was so excited when I found the audiobooks.
This book was my introduction to ABDL and I was immediately hooked.
The concept of a Daddy Dom is one that absolutely resonated with me.
Bolton Hill did an amazing job portraying Derek and his Daddy Colt.
I can't wait to listen to the rest of the series.

A sweet Daddy/little story

I really enjoyed the Daddy/little relationship between Derek and Colt. There is a small amount of ABDL towards the end, but I found it was tastefully done.

Colt seemed to know what Derek needed and having a bit of patience really made Colt a wonderful Daddy for Derek.

I like all the secondary characters, especially Derek’s little brother Ty.

Bolton Hill did a good job. There were a few times I wasn’t sure who was speaking, but overall, I enjoyed his narration. When Derek was in the little headspace, I thought the voice Bolton used was perfect.

Sweet Age Play Romance

Readers new to age play will definitely enjoy the slower pace and sweetness of At Home. There’s plenty of kink for fans of the genre, and Carly Marie establishes a nice connection between the main characters.

I also enjoyed the Southern flavor in At Home. This is a culture in America that I know very little about, so it's fascinating to see the way the author addresses issues like how the different families accepted their sons’ coming out.

The audio is performed by Bolton Hill. His warm, southern twang works well for these guys. The voice he uses for the daddy, Colt, is good and suits the older man. I would have liked a more pronounced difference for when Derek is in little mode though.

Honestly, while At Home took a wee while to warm up, once it got going I definitely enjoyed it.

Quite enjoyable

I enjoyed this book but I felt that the audible version just ended out of nowhere. I had to check the main book to make sure nothing was missing so that was a bit of a let down. Other than that I enjoyed it.

Brilliant

Love Derek and Coles story but listening to it brings it alive. With just a hook up in mind Colt sees in Derek a little . So the evening is spent relaxing. Never to see one another again . Until the concert.
Brilliant narration by Bolton Hill

Regressive age play is not my thing

The story started out well but soon it became explaining the daddy/boy relation and telling over showing.
Narration was good.

Surprised!!!

When I first thought about listening to this book I was a bit apprehensive to be honest never read/ listened to age play books before I loved over books by this author so I thought I’d give it a go.....well I was pleasantly shocked how good this book was it was told more as a love story and both men’s needs more than pervy as I first thought it would be and was beautiful narration of Derek and Colt’s was well worth the listen. Carly Marie and Bolton Hill rock.

😍😍country goodness🤠🤠

an adbl story featuring a sheriff and a famous country singer.
unconventional meeting for an adbl but conventional for most people they meet in a bar, where Colt(sheriff) had no clue who Derek is until another chance meeting.
With Derek (country singer) being in the closet to the world except for his family and the band, they try to be careful as they navigate their relationship and fight back against their record label being too demanding.

as good as the ebook

The story is always 4 or 5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Not my cup of tea............

I purchased this book based on the synopsis, I wish I had read the reviews. Daddy Dom just makes me cringe sorry! Different strokes for different folks. Will return for a refund. The narrator though has a lovely voice and did an excellent narration in the 4 chapters I managed to listen to, but the storyline no thanks.

At home

I really enjoyed this audio book, I felt that the narrator really captured both characters personalities, I’ve read the book and this really brings it to life for me

I loved this book

I have to say this Narrator is fast becoming a favorite. Loved this book anyway, so when it was released on audible I had to buy it. Carly and Bolton did a great job.
Will read the rest of the series when its released.
