Such a nice way to wrap up Bryan and Maddox's story. We know we'll see them pop up again from time to time, and that's one of my favorite aspects of Innes' writing :). Excellent YA age play romance, with great moments of family interactions and a bit of drama. I highly recommend this lovely series, and I'm glad I finally finished it.
I loved the characters of Maddox and Bryan right from the very first book. The Daddy/little age play lifestyle was so new to them both. Bryan trusted Maddox to give him all that he wanted and needed, but it was new to Maddox also so he spent the time and effort to learn all he could from the internet and from the two folks that ran the kink bookstore in his town. Maddox loved Bryan and was very protective of him...especially from a group that wanted to be much more than just friends that keeps filtering through the books. What I admired about them both however, was how ambitious they both were in putting in the time & effort in their college life to achieve what they wanted as careers for the rest of their lives...lives that they have planned to live together.
In the last book they had rented an apartment close to school, arranged their classes and majors to assure them of achieving the careers they both wanted. In Maddox's case he had parents that were still arranging his life...until he beautifully put a stop to it. I wanted to cheer!!! Together they are also learning more about their neighbors & friends, Jeremy & Kevin...it was great to see them again and see how well they were fitting in. They are all diffidently moving forward and working toward a happy future. We also saw more of Bryan's mom. She is such a special lady. She emotionally supports Maddox and Bryan without overrunning or interfering in their lives. It was also perfect the way she included Jeremy & Kevin into her family at Thanksgiving.
There were still lots of sexy times & plenty of emotions. It's rather sad that this is the end of their story, but I hope that M.A. Innes will consider visiting them again. A good four-book series... but I would love more, and I don't believe I am alone in this.
Maddox and Bryan....It was so good to get back to them.....This was the most perfect end to a perfect series.....Meeting Jeremy and Kevin again too was amazing......Both Maddox and Bryan are coming into themselves and with the help of Bryan's mum they will make it.....Maddox's parents...not so much...How can they be like that to their son because he wants to live his own life.....I really hope that the author will consider another little peak into their lives further down the line to see how they are doing.....Beautiful men x
A solid 3 for this series - I liked the dynamic of the boys and the love they had for each other but I felt this book was much of the same. The flow was evenly paced and the temperature was similar !
This is one of my favorite series. Bryan and Maddox are perfect for each other, and their Daddy/little dynamic is both sweet and sexy. I've enjoyed watching them grow into a secure and comfortable couple, and I love how they help each other to be confident and strong. Jeremy and Kevin are great friends for them, and I am happy that their story continues in this series. Bryan's mom and Mad's parents remain true to form in this installment. This author is a favorite of mine, and I always look forward to new stories, knowing that - no matter what taboo subjects may be explored - there will be humor and tenderness included. I always finish each book with a smile on my face. I was provided with an advance copy of this book in return for an honest review.
This was better than the last book. We still don't get much of anything different in their lives. Same stuff, different day. We do find out what the "secret" or "kink" of the neighbors is. Since this was the end of their series, I would've loved an epilogue that showed where they were in the future.
This was a fabulous continuation of (and ending to) the Pieces series. Maddox and Bryan were as lovable as ever, trying to navigate new adult life and their own kinky relationship. I love how Mad is constantly gently urging B to reach outside his comfort zone a little bit, so that he's more able to talk about his needs and relate to others. Despite being the little in the relationship, B seems to keep Mad grounded and knowing that he's loved, despite his own less-than-stellar family.
It was SO fun to have Jeremy and Kevin from the Too Close series along for the ride. Their interactions made me giggle frequently. And B's mom (and her choice of reading on her Kindle) is always awesome.
There were sexy times with Mad and B, of course, but I think I'm so invested in the characters that I enjoy seeing their everyday life almost as much as the bedroom stuff. So I'm happy all around.
I really enjoyed the final instalment of Bryan & Maddox's story. Bryan & Maddox have settled into life at college. Together they are learning more about their neighbours & friends, Jeremy & Kevin - it was great to see them again. <3 Both Bryan & Maddox are thriving in the safe space of their apartment. Loved how the couple were moving forward & looking forward to their future. I loved the sense of family Bryan's mum gave the guys and how she included Jeremy & Kevin in that family. There were lots of sexy times & plenty of emotion. I know this is the end of their story but I hope the author re visits them. I would love more... A great series that I happily recommend.
Re-read 10/22/2019: changed rating to 5 stars Maddox and Bryan are so strong together! I loved re-reading them meeting Dr. Shepherd for the first time -- so good!
Their Perfect Future is book 4 in Maddox and Bryan's story. The boys settle into their lives at college, finally living in their own place, together.
Maddox knows he cannot rely on his parents help financially, especially since he is defying their wishes and changing his major. With that in mind , and the help of his friend Jeremy, Maddox starts his own business. He is the Daddy, he needs to take care of every aspect of his boy's needs.
Bryan is dong very well in all his classes, and he gets a chance of an internship. As he wants to work as a counsellor for people in alternative lifestyles, this chance to work with Dr. Sheppard is very helpfull. Dr. Sheppard has lots of experience with couples in different relationships, and wants to help Bryan and Maddox be more relaxed in theirs.
l loved catching up with Jeremy and Kevin from the " Loving " series. They are neighbours to the boys, and become very close friends, we learn more about their lives, as they have problems of their own.
Mad, is still Daddy, watching out and caring for his little man. B, is deeper into his little play and anxious to please his Daddy, but also growing in confidence. The love these boys have for each other is strong and adorable, and they still make out and have scenes constantly.
As Bryan's mum becomes mother to all the boys embracing them all with love, Maddox's parents behave appalingly and selfishly.
l have really enjoyed catching up with all of these characters, l adore them all.
I really hope that this series continues. Following Bryan and Maddox's journey has been a real pleasure. Maddox is not the all knowing always confident "Daddy" that many age play books have. Instead, he is ever evolving always looking for ways to make Bryan happy and content. It makes him seem that much more real. Bryan has come so far in his confidence without losing the quirkiness that makes him so lovable.
The mystery of Jeremy and Kevin's relationship is finally solved! I must admit it made me a little uncomfortable at first and I am still not sure exactly how I feel about it but it didn't make me love them any less. I like that we got to know them more. Their situation definitely makes one think. That is a good thing though because even though you don't want to over think things not thinking at all is just as bad if not worse.
Let me start with the inside joke. If you know...you knew it immediately—if not, let me say that was my introduction to this author. A nice homage.
This author slays me. In the most and best ways. Subjects that are far too easy to mock are treated with love and more importantly kindness. We all have needs and none are in a place to judge something consensual like the characters in this series.
I went in only knowing I liked author and others can sum up.
So I will beg author for: (all preferably) Kevin’s story Why the bullies went after Bryan Graduation—who showed up Dr Shepherd
Okay, my list is long. A novella? Please, please, please.
If you read this story and focus on love it will be a keeper. If you focus on the passion KU is your best bet. If you are offended by anything not vanilla sex keep looking.
Bryan gets the internship with Dr. Sheppard, but not until after an impromptu therapy session with Bryan & Maddox and Kevin & Jeremy. Kevin & Jeremy reveal their big secret and Bryan is almost disappointed they aren’t kinkier.
Oh, and Dr. Sheppard is a little.
Bryan invites the brothers home for Thanksgiving and his mom looks ready to adopt two more boys. A post-Thanksgiving dinner with Maddox’s parents is less successful. They found out about his change of major, small business and the fact that he has no intention of working for his father.
Loving the dynamic between the four boys. Thin walls give rise to lots of strange intimacy.
Might reread a couple of Kevin & Jeremy’s books now that I got the correct reading order.

Perfect! I love this series so much and I especially love the writing style of M.A. Innes. The subject matter, i.e. taboo topics are incredible to read and so well written and refreshing too. The tender care and respectful way with which he approaches this topic as well as all the others is truly amazing and makes for such a good/great read. I can't wait to hear more from this author concerning Maddox and Bryan. I love their story. It's amazing to read about finding someone who completes your puzzle and fulfills you completely. I have read every book from M.A. Innes and still crave more. MORE PLEASE!!!
After the three previous books, this was a bit of a let down in terms of the lack of scenes and more a look in to their domestic lives and what the future may hold.
The big excitement was lacking but I understand the need to piece the puzzle together and offer us the full picture, so as a reader I don't feel the need for more of their story. Though I wished it could have paced a bit quicker. I wanted to see them in future months interact with a bigger part of the community.
It was a sweet end for the two, knowing their place was with each other and the more they explored, the more right things felt. And having a somewhat bright future ahead.
I hope there is more to come! At least a Christmas one with the whole family, what happened with Mads? Will there be a series about Jeremy and Kevin? That would be so hot and how about Bry's school friends what's up with them? Yes, if you can't tell Ian hooked and wasn't more. The author is great and the stories are interesting, hot, fun, and absolutely out of this world.
This whole series is a favourite of mine! This book is a perfect way to end this series. Both guys has grows so much since the beginning. It was amazing to see them become who they are. They are beautiful. Their love and respect for each other is inspiring. Seeing Kevin and Jeremy was wonderful. I can't wait to read where their story will go.
I have been enjoying this could since the beginning. I'm glad that they are there for Kevin and Jeremy too. I really want to see what happens during Christmas. I love how comfortable they have gotten with each other and themselves. I like seeing the evolution and can't wait for the next part of their story.
This book was seriously amazing. This entire series was great!! Maddox and Bryan both together and separate were awesome characters and I really loved Bryan’s character development! I know we see this couple a little bit in the Christmas book in Kevin and Jeremy’s story but I REALLY hope that they get some sort of story continuation of their own!!
I loved Brian and Maddox's journey. I loved seeing their friendship with Kevin and Jeremy. I have only read book 1 from the loving series, but there have been short cameos of them in previous series I've read, so it was really nice getting more of them here. The 4 of them make excellent friends. Great cute read.
Another piece of the fantastic story. Please let there be more. .. I know at some p poo into you'll have t o move on, but I do love Maddox and Brian's story. I'm not ready to let them go!
I really enjoyed this series but I felt like somethings were either glossed over or never fully addressed. The sexy scenes were hot to say the least and I was in love with how in love they were. Overall it was an enjoyable series. Omg and I want a book about Jeremy and Kevin ASAP
