Lorcan

I had the world in the palm of my hand until a false accusation sent everything to hell. I’ve spent the past year struggling to reclaim my life. At fifty-three, though, I honestly feel my best years are behind me. Then I find the courage to attend pup night at Club Kink. I’m not certain what to expect, but that night changes my life.

Cody

When I came out as gay at sixteen, things got so rough I was barely making it through my days. A great therapist helped me survive, and even thrive. Now, as a newly minted psychologist, I hope to make that kind of difference for my own patients, LGBTQ or not. Inside though, I have one more secret even my therapist never knew. And finally, I've found the courage to attend pup night at Club Kink. I keep telling my clients they need to reach for what's important to their hearts. Tonight, I'm reaching for mine and hoping I find someone who wants what I have to offer.

This novel is an age-gap, opposites-attract gay romance about what happens when a man who’s given up on life is presented with a chance to start over and the younger man prepared to share that journey with him.

I Enjoyed It

I really enjoyed this book. It was a sweet hurt/comfort romance, and I loved the dynamic between an older pup/younger Daddy. I loved both Lorcan and Cody. I felt so bad for Lorcan's life having turned upside down, no one having his back but his lawyer, and being suspected. Now he's trying to start his life over- which is not easy at his age. I thought the two of them were really sweet together, and Cody was exactly what he needed. He was patient and willing to help Lorcan at whatever pace he was comfortable with. I loved the way they connected. I also liked the supporting characters. 4 stars

Audiobook Review 1/4/26

I was excited to listen to this book. While I've listened to over a dozen of Gabbi Grey's audiobooks, this was the first with the the Daddy/pup dynamic. Michael Dean did a great job bringing Lorcan and Cody to life. I had no trouble distinguishing between their voices.

Overall: 4 stars
Performance: 4 stars
Story: 4 stars

Great storyline and narration.

This was a perfect puppy play read. I really enjoyed seeing characters from other books and love how these two met. I think the backstory for each of these characters is strong and lends so much to the storyline. Aunt Genessa is a hoot!

Mature MMC

Love having an older main character to this story. I love all things Mission City, and although you don't need to read Gabbi Grey's other work it just adds a little. This story could be done as a standalone. But the other Daddy for Christmas stories help with the background of side characters. This was a nice story and glad I got to listen. Micheal Dean is always a great narrator, and this is just another good example.

Daddy Pup

I felt so bad for Lorcan for everything he went through with his ex and loved that he was able to move on. I did find it rough to focus on the new romance with all the constant mentions of the ex, but it does make sense as he went through so much. The narration was really good. I love the narrator.
