A is for . . . Alpha’s and Age Play
by Ravyn Rayne
Okay. I couldn’t commit to either Alpha or Age Play. Choosing one was super difficult. It’s like picking your favorite kid, and well thankfully I don’t have that problem. No kids here! Just a niece and two nephews I adore.
So back to the topic of A.
Who’s your all-time favorite alpha character in a novel? How about in an age play romantic erotica? A well-written age play novel really needs an alpha, at least as far as I’ve read. (Have one that doesn’t and can convince me otherwise, then comment with what story I should read.)
My first age play novel that I read was by Elsa Black, Becoming Lil’ Mandy. It of course features alpha, Ethan Sharp.
Book Blurb from Goodreads:
“My desire to dominate isn’t unlike your desire to submit. But my desire to dominate is stronger than what most partners are willing to allow. I’m one of those rare men who want to not just correct and train, but to coddle, guide and control. I require a deep submission – the ultimate submission. I desire a woman who can fall back into that purest trusting state, that age of perfect innocence when her Papa was her whole wide world. I want a woman whose dependence is total – from the time I wake her up to the time I put her to bed. That level of care? That, sweet Mandy, is my calling. And for all my wealth – and it is substantial – I will not feel truly rich until I find the woman strong enough to put herself in my care.”
Amanda Wingate is the failed product of what should have been a charmed life. Adopted into a family of wealth where she wasn’t truly wanted, her desire for paternal acceptance made her prey to a dominant man whose betrayal landed her in prison.
When she is selected for a program designed to reform non-violent prisoners, she has no idea that the backers are actually a group of powerful men who select women for clients looking for Little Ones to train and claim as their own.
Ethan Sharp has everything – looks, wealth and a successful business. What he lacks is the connection he has given up finding among women in his social circle. When he is directed to the Eden Institute, he believes he has found the answer.
But will his pairing with the emotionally vulnerable Amanda Wingate be successful? Ethan is eager to earn her ultimate submission. And with the help of a stern nanny, he begins the loving and sensual task of transforming Amanda into Mandy through equal measures of spankings and sexual submission, which includes making her submit parts of herself she never thought possible. Can her journey into deep submission heal Amanda’s heart and give her the security that’s eluded her all her life?
“Becoming Lil’ Mandy” is a story told against the backdrop of the Eden Institute, which features interplay with other couples in a lifestyle that’s become a source of literary fascination for thousands of readers who enjoy tales of intense submission.
Here’s my 5 star review and thoughts on the novel.
This is a fantastic story if you’re a virgin age play reader or avid lover of age play novels.
I read the sample on Amazon and then opted to buy the book. Why age play? I was curious what all the fuss is about.
It was incredibly well written, free of grammatical errors. The plot was well paced and moved smoothly between chapters. It took me three days to read this book. It’s not incredibly long but it is a little long for an erotica novel. That’s not a bad thing, be prepared to feel invested in both the characters and the story line.
Here’s the thing, it’s not just erotica. There’s a plot and I appreciated the underlying tones to the plot (prison, the institute) and I’m curious to see where those subplots go in the next book.
As for the sex scenes they are steamy and there is some kink. If you’re looking for an age play novel, definitely give this one a shot.
You can now also snag Elsa’s second book in the Eden Series.
