BLURB:
Kylan Grant finds solace and comfort in the arms of strange men. He learned early on—far earlier than most—that the fleeting attention and adoration of older men made him feel wanted. Attention he never got anywhere else, attention he craves. Attention he gets from his two daddies.
Leon Ellington and Marek Akhurst met in college and have been inseparable since. Now in their late forties and married, they’re the formidable names behind some of the most lucrative and savage legal cases in the country.
They live together, work together, and play together. What one wants, the other acquires; whatever the urge, whatever the whim. Whatever the cost.
What they want is Kylan.
And what Kylan gets out of it is worth more than the money they pay him.
But as the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur, they soon realise there was nothing in their contract about falling in love.
REVIEW:
Note: This story takes place along much of the same timeline as the first two books, so there is quite a bit of overlap in the stories. As such, there are major spoilers for that story here.
This is the third and final book in this series and tells the story of Kylan, the third boy of the Wylde Street boys. Kylan is the quietest of the boys. He keeps more to himself and he’s got a standing arrangement with not one but two daddies. Leon and Merrick are a married couple who have been together since University. They have the habit of bringing a third into their relationship – mostly short term. But Ky is different. He comes to their home, has his own room and they buy him pretty things to wear. Ky sometimes feels more femme than masc and he likes lace and skirts quite a lot 🙂 And his daddies like him in whatever he feels comfortable in.
Kylan has a traumatic past having been abused by his father. He tends to dissociate when things get too stressful for him. Things are going along find with Kylan and Merrick and Leon. But Ky is starting to wonder where he really fits. He’s watched both Fitch and Benji fall for their guys – Dom and Nolan – and he’s wondering if he’ll ever really fit anywhere. And if anyone will ever want to keep him. Despite him warning Fitch that these arrangements aren’t “real” he begins to wish that he could be with Merrick and Leon permanently 🙁
When Leon is gone on an emergency business trip and Kylan arrives to find only Merrick, he’s sure they are going to throw him away – that they are done with him. He has been trying to prepare himself for when this is over. But they facetime Leon for sexy times and all seems well. Until they aren’t. And Ky is devastated. Fitch gets involved then and demands what Kylan needs. For the first time in their lives Merrick and Leon have not been in the same page and the damage is to Kylan. They have to make it right.
So again, daddy/boy kink isn’t really my thing but I thought this relationship was well written. Kylan clearly has a lot of issues given his traumatic upbringing. The fact that Merrick and Leon care for him is also well described. There were a couple of things that didn’t ring true to me here – like suggesting that Ky could be a lawyer. Maybe it’s different in Australia, but that is a long road here in the US to get to Law School. I did like how protective Merrick was of Kylan and how he was able to reason with Leon – who apologized for his misstep. Having Leon own his mistake was critical to the resolution of this relationship screwup. I also loved the Fitch continues to be a fiery defender of his friends. All four of the older guys in this series learn a lot from their younger boyfriends 🙂
I really liked the performance of this story. Glen Lloyd does another exceptional job – particularly with continuity of all the voices here in the series in this last book that brings together all the characters. The distinct voice and accent choices for Merrick and Leon really added to the texture of the audiobook. There is a lot of emotion in this one because Kylan goes through a lot of relived trauma. His voice – his quiet and somewhat shy nature – were well shown through his voice choices too. I though the pain of his suffering and reaction to his circumstances rang very true.
I would recommend this series in audio very much. Engaging stories performed in an honest and moving production. Well done.
