About the author

My first book was published in 1984 when I was 12. Why are you laughing? Since then I've published 16 books and 2 novellas: two Regencies originally written as Jane Lynson, one paranormal romantic suspense as Paula Christopher and everything else as Lynn Michaels. My husband Michael warned me never to dedicate a book to him, so instead I stole his name for my pseudonym.

Michael and I have 2 grown sons and 1 grandson. We live in Harry Truman's hometown, Independence, Missouri.

Gilly is overworked and has never had time for dating, let alone figuring out whether he wants a Daddy — until seeing his friend Rob so happy makes him wonder. Nate is just as busy running his construction business and barely squeezes in time for his Brotherhood meetings. But when their friends (or maybe fate) push them together, everything clicks. Two tired, under‑loved men meet, and suddenly nothing else matters.

This was such a lovely, gentle romance, and the connection between Gilly and Nate shines from the moment they meet. Both men are exhausted and overlooked in their own lives, which makes the ease between them feel especially meaningful. I loved the care Nate showed as Gilly explored his little side — not pushing, not assuming, just offering steady reassurance and structure that helped Gilly manage his stress rather than drown in it. Their dynamic felt nurturing in the best way, and it highlighted how perfectly they fit together. Nate’s patience and Gilly’s sweetness made their relationship an absolute delight, and the way their bond grew so naturally was incredibly heartwarming. A tender, comforting story full of soft emotions and two men finding exactly what they need in each other. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic with male lactation.

OPEN TO LOVE

THE LACTIN BROTHERHOOD is a Multiple Author collection with a unique twist. I have fallen in love with these Books. LYNN MICHAELS has introduced Daddy Nate and Little Gilly. Friends help friends out all the time. Their friends introduced them. Gilly is such a hard working sweet young man. Nate owns his own construction company. Nate isn't looking for a Little and Gilly doesn't even know what it is. I Loved the approach of this story. Once you open yourself up to love, it's a time of wonder and discovery. This really is a BEAUTIFULLY written story about the wonder of that time. These Books leave my heart full of peace. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND THE LACTIN BROTHERHOOD SERIES!!!!!!!!!!

I loved it!

This series is always so fun to read. Gilly is such a sweetie. Nate is the best Daddy for him. I do want to find out how things are with Preston and Rob. I don’t know why they sound familiar. At least Preston does. I may have to back and read the other books again. Such a hardship lol.

The pacing felt a bit off? And the characters were quite boring
