Can a little with a bad reputation get the daddy he deserves in time for Christmas?

I’ve watched my friends hook up and eventually find their true loves.

Not me. Something must be wrong with me. I have a great bod and fab hair. Am I too picky? Am I too superficial?

One time I got into a fight at Club 99 with another little. One time! That was almost a year ago and I was only banned for a month. Are people still talking about that? Will I wear that scarlet bunny-shaped letter forever?

Some daddies like bad boys, but I’m not bad. Maybe only a little bad. I swear. But this year, as Christmas approaches, I have already received three coal-filled stockings at the club from three not so nice daddies with leering grins. That's not what I'm looking for.

Dear Santa: I long for a daddy with a firm hand, but a loving smile. Someone who can understand me and my frustrations. Someone who can deal with my little without being too rough or too easy. I need care, comfort and guidance. Please, is that too much to ask?

 

Book Review

This book starts out with a letter to Santa from a sad little who asks him for help finding a Daddy who will guide him with a firm and loving hand. My heart melted. The little who needs a Daddy desperately is Kit. The Daddy who comes to the rescue is Parker, a part-time actor who has contracted to play Santa at the local BDSM club for three gigs during the holiday season. What a sweet meet-cute when Kit comes to sit on Santa’s lap! Kit asks Santa’s help and explains that he has a rep as a bad boy but is trying to be better and could really use a Daddy to help him. Gah. My poor heart. By the second visit to the club, Santa is hopeful he’d see Kit as he’d bought him a special doggie stuffie.

 

Afterward, as Kit is playing in the little room, another little steals his new stuffie but it’s “bad boy” Kit who is blamed for the fight that ensues. He returns to Santa to confess that he lost his gift, but instead of being angry, Parker, in his Santa persona, comforts little Kit. And thus a new relationship begins. Parker and Kit spend time together for only a short few weeks before each realizes he’s in love but that time is spent talking, cooking, and eating together, playing games, watching TV, dating, and avoiding the bedroom. They’ve agreed to go slow and, because they spend 24 hours a day together without getting intimate right away, the time for their relationship to develop was believable. 

 

I enjoyed the pace, the plot, and the main characters. Their personalities were well-developed on-page and their relationship made sense. The dialogue was strong and the circumstances quite believable. The only thing that really bugged me is that the author didn’t resolve the issue of the stolen stuffie. I really wanted that little who stole it to be called out in front of everyone at the club during one of Parker’s and Kit’s later visits. Or, have the boy tell his Daddy and have the Daddy make the boy apologize. Kit deserved all the best, IMO. And it’s easy to see how engaged I got with this story!  LOL.

 

All in all, it’s a heartwarming and sweet Daddy/little romance with the bestest little boy who used to be bad.
