Growing up in an unusual family has made adapting to college more difficult for Jay. Sheltered and socially awkward, the only easy part about higher education is the classes. While everyone around him seems to instinctively understand what they’re into and who they are, he’s lost and alone. That is, until his new roommate makes life a little more interesting.

Growing up in an unusual family has given Logan a completely different outlook on life. With parents that travel the world and an overly open-minded grandmother, Logan doesn’t believe in hiding who he is or what he wants out of a relationship. That is, until his new roommate turns out to have no boundaries and is a little too nosy.

When the two roommates find out they have more in common than they think, they learn that different doesn’t have to be bad, and falling in love is easy once the walls that keep them apart are stripped away.

Confuzzled, sweet, innocent college boy discovers that a puppy hood makes him feel safe and... aroused.

Could have used more scenes, though. I wanted moooooorrrreeee.

Yes, I know where my priorities lie.

this book made me really upset, and i'm sure it's probably not something the author intended to do but it made me feel stupid

the premise behind the book is really cute. one mc open about his kink, the other grew up kinda in a cult so he doesn't know much of anything about anything really - throw them together, make sparks, and whoosh! they explode in a fiery concoction of passion, love, and kink.

i like it. i really do.

but Jay's 'innocence' and 'cluelessness' about things took it too far. He may have been sheltered, yes, but the author wrote him as though he didn't get a lot of references, things went over his head all the time, he said things without understanding the full meaning or intentions behind them, he took everyone at face value, he was great at some things and really bad at most other things, he was really book smart but struggled with the concept of common sense, he took things very literally, he struggled with boundaries and understanding people - basically he was written as an autistic character who wasn't autistic.

i was really excited starting the book because wow! another character like me? yay for the autism rep! i was so excited about that, to see someone else who also struggles with communication and understanding subtext, and especially in a romance novel.

until i realized that's not what the author was trying to do at all.

jay was not autistic or intended to be autistic, he was just raised in a very restrictive home, which was supposed to make him seem so innocent that he didn't understand anything about sex or boundaries or anything? i mean - no.

that doesn't make sense. it went waaayyyy too far into the 'i don't understand boundaries at all' territory, which might have been plausible if jay's entire family were autistic or something but kids also learn boundaries with each other, even if they don't learn it from their parents.

and several times in the book someone would be talking to jay and he would take them very literally. he seemed to process information very literally and idk it's really hard to explain to someone who isn't autistic what it's like to be autistic and try to process neurotypical speech, but i would say that jay is a very exaggerated example

i was struggling a lot because in my head jay was autistic, but on paper he wasn't supposed to be?

and right off the bat logan, the other mc, made me feel like shit for it. He said so many awful things about Jay and how jay sees the world, and even if he's not autistic, he behaves like he is autistic and it's really hard to separate the two in my mind.

Anyone who was more clueless than Jay was not even human.

anyone who was more clueless than Jay was not even human. not even human.

again, i'm sure this isn't what the author was trying to say, but that's how it came out and it hurt to read, and it made logan unlikeable. there are lots of us who are just as clueless or maybe even more clueless about things than jay (depending on the topic) and that doesn't mean we're not human, it just means we're autistic and have specific areas of expertise. everything else is like... idk, it's like shoving all of your barely-used spices to the back of the top shelf and then asking us to tell you how much is left in each container at the end of the year. sometimes we don't even remember the containers are even there in the first place.

Mean to the neurotic kid who seemed completely unfamiliar with real life and then turning around and jerking off thinking about him. That had to make me the bastard of the year.

and logan also called jay neurotic, so yeah idk i did not like this book. even if jay isn't autistic, and i make every excuse and try really hard to separate that in my mind, logan is still unredeemable for saying these things about jay (and this is only some of what he had to say about him.)

this book just wasn't for me. i never got to the point where i could feel their connection, and that's likely because i didn't like the book from the very beginning.

just kinda wish authors would get sensitivity readers for things like this

This is Logan and Jay's story. I was really frustrated with Jay early on in the story. He's really young, not especially in years but in life experiences in general...already a junior or perhaps a senior in college. We did learn that he was in his early twenties. He has been so sheltered in his life that he has no idea how to react to most all events that occur in everyday life...so the lifestyle that he has investigated on the internet might as well be taking place on Mars as far as he's concerned. His roommate, Logan, who he feels "sinful" feelings for...might as well be from a dimension that Jay never knew actually existed...other than on "Mr. Google". In spite of his "ignorance" he can't stop seeing the elephant in the room..."THE BOX"...the one under Logan's bed. His curiosity wins the battle, and he has to look in "THE BOX"...and what he sees is "so pretty"! His roommate, Logan is a Dom, and he is interested in Jay...but knows the journey from curious to fully invested in the BDSM lifestyle is eons away from shy, sheltered Jay...but Logan is patient and feels that Jay is worth the wait. The best side character in the story is Logan's Grandmother. What a lady she was! I wish we had seen a bit more of her. The story is really a slow, slow burn. In spite of being frustrating, Jay is adorable while learning about the "real world"...especially the world he REALLY wants to know more about. Everything is "a first" for him and that is a turn-on for Logan who gets to re-experience it all himself.

What a sweet romance!
You can read each of the three books in this series as standalones, each has a different kink, so you can pick your favorite or pick 'em all - they've all been wonderful.

Logan is so patient and his affection for Jay is genuine and touching, and just heartwarming. These two are so great together... a great 'first time' romance!

I liked the first two books in this series more than I did this one. I liked the first half, then I’d thought about DNF-ing and then it picked up again towards the end.

Jay has been raised by super religious parents. The religious community Jay grew up in is a strange one. They are totally accepting of gay people and people of other faiths, but also taught their children that the world is filled with sin, and that you could only have sex after marriage. Love is not something that is talked about, and masturbation is a big no.

So when Jay goes to college after being home schooled, he is completely taken aback by everything he doesn’t know about the world. He is now almost done with college, but he still feels very out of place. His new roommate seems to be frustrated with him all the time, and Jay feels like his two friends are sometimes making fun of him, even though they aren’t mean about it.

Jay’s roommate Logan has warned Jay several times to not touch the box under his bed, but Jay can’t resist but to peak at the puppy mask. He knows what puppy play is thanks to the internet and his two friends, who are probably into some kinky stuff themselves. The mask is just so pretty. But he doesn’t like it when Logan gets upset with him.

Logan doesn’t know that to think of Jay. He is uptight, and probably straight, but he also keeps pulling out the box with his puppy play gear. Why doesn’t he just ask Logan about it though?

When Jay gets the advice of his friends to just talk to Logan, Jay finally finds the courage and ask Logan about the gear and what kind of punishment Jay should get for disobeying Logan. Logan is immediately on board with this….

I liked both Jay and Logan, but Jay could be a bit frustrating at times. I know he was brought up in the most sheltered way, but he was just so cautious with everything. I got a little bored when he kept putting the brakes on things. It was too repetitive for a while.

But when Jay finally got over his embarrassment, things were finally progressing. I was happy to see he was more relaxed and not as uptight as before. Things felt better between them then.

I’m actually on the fence about the puppy play parts. I can’t seem to decide if I thought it was handled well and fit into story nicely, or if it was completely out of place. I guess at times I thought it was weird, because this book mostly focused on Logan coaxing Jay out of his shell, and the puppy play didn’t seem to fit. But when they finally did do some puppy play it felt nice and I thought it suited them both.

I guess I still have a hard time believing a college aged dude would be such an experienced Dom. Not that Logan acted older. It was just the whole Dom/boy thing that felt weird when they were both in their early twenties.

This was a nice low-angst addition to the series, but not my favorite of the bunch.

This was so cute - naivety at its best. Jay was something else, vulnerable, unsure and ready to trust. His roommate Logan kept him on edge with his strength and ability to slowly introduce him to a lifestyle he had no idea about. This was so damn sweet and Logan was beautiful in his way he respected and encouraged Jay. Happy smiles

I LOVED this. Jay was awkward and so adorable. I loved his reactions to Logan even when he didn’t understand WHY he was reacting to Logan. Logan was perfect. He didn’t push Jay. He knew how sheltered Jay had been. It really felt like their relationship developed organically. This book isn’t filled with sex which I thought was very appropriate. I am very sure I’ll be reading this again.

A Pup Named Jay

This was so cute. Jay has the whole shy, sheltered by overly religious parents thing going on.
But he can't help but be naughty when he sees the adorable puppy mask his new roomie has stashed under his bed. He knows he's going to get in trouble... and why does the guy have to walk around naked all the time?

An entire novel full of innocent virgin kink and a healthy smattering of puppy play.

Re-read 3/16-17/23: loved it just as much the second time through. I'd forgotten how funny Kevin and Bryan were in this. Logan and Jay just fit -- so perfect!

Original review: Perfect! I knew she would come up with someone who would get Jay and deal with all his odd upbringing and lack of social skills, but Logan is absolutely perfect, with his own odd childhood quirks fitting into Jay's like puzzle pieces! So good, so hot, so wonderful. I do want to see Logan become friends with at least Finn, if not Maddox and Jeremy -- Finn could deal well with having another strong dom for a friend... And when is our lovely doctor's book arriving? Soon pretty please???

Two collage roommates pushed together due to lack of rooms. Two guys at either end of the social scale. Logan is Confident, knows what he wants and is not ashamed of his kinky side. But darn he is struggling to share a room with Cute, adorably shy and timid roommate, who would be so his type if he was not so annoying and nosy.

Jay has lived a sheltered life, home schooled in a conservative home. He struggles with any social encounters. Never mind anything sexual. He struggles with Logan’s nakedness. Then there’s that box under Logan’s Bed. A box of intrigue that Jay can not resist looking inside even after several warnings by Logan.

We follow Jays journey of self-discovery and sexual awakening. Poor Jay is a fish out of water, but luckily Logan takes charge and as their relationship begins, It is clear that Logan is the rock that Jay needs to hold him up as he starts his journey.

Jay is so naturally a sub, but he has many hang ups, not least nakedness, He slowly breaks down his parents influence and outlook on life.

Logan is so patient with Jay as they take minute steps forward, but after a while Jay is wanting to have his limits pushed a little.

The way the author shows Jays growth scene by scene is excellent, we not only see him make the next steps, but we also feel how huge each step is and how frustrating he gets as he knows he wants more but is also frightened of each step.

The love and chemistry, and banter between the two characters is perfect, add a crazy Grandma that Knows all about Logan’s Kinks and when the boys visit there is a lot of blushing, but she is also a wise owl, and sneakily gets Jay tipsy, so they can have a proper open chat while Logan is sent out on errands.

Then there is Jay’s friend Finn who is so eager to see Jay find the happiness he has found, sometimes to the point of Jay wanting to put a sock in Finns mouth.

I have followed the author for quite a while now and to me this is my favorite book of hers and that is no mean feat, as I am yet to read one of her books that is just average.

So this one was rough for me. Jay was my issue. The author wrote him so sheltered from life and just absolutely clueless about sex that his character didn't work for me.

Then you have him and Logan exchanging I love you's really quickly. I don't know, I really did have a lot of issues with this one. I'm glad the series is over though, so there's that, lol.

I enjoyed the beginning but then it seemed to drag on around the middle and the end seemed a bit rushed. It was as if the author realized they had wasted so much time going on and on around the middle of the story and had little time to complete the end of the story so they just rushed it off.

I liked Logan, he was so patient with Jay. Jay on the other hand was so frustrating. I understand that he grew up sheltered but whew, i needed him to unclench a bit.

Jay and Logan are college roommates. Jay is so terribly innocent and sheltered due to his upbringing. He's so clueless about relationships and all things sexual, everything is new to him.

"You want a...pup? The words were getting easier, but I couldn't imagine being completely comfortable with it.
"Yes.." His soft breath sent a shiver through me. "But I also want a lover and a submissive. A boy to care for and punish but a pup to play with too."

I really liked the way that Logan eased Jay into their relationship and puppy play. Constantly making sure Jay was ok with how they progressed.

"I-" Jay stopped and closed his eyes before trying again. "I've never had anyone... want me?
How was that possible?
"That's impossible."

Logan was so patient with Jay, letting everything move at his pace. It bought real depth to their growing relationship. The tenderness between them was sweet and adorable.

It was great to see the friendship between Jay and Kevin and Brian. The other men helping Jay to understand and ask for what he wanted.

"From what I'd seen, it was perfectly normal to be curious about a friend's romantic or sexual life, but I'd never had anyone interested in mine. Not that I'd ever had one. But still, it was... nice, awkward but nice.

Also, Lottie was fantastic.. Everyone should have a grandmother like her.

A really sweet, slow burn story about trust and love.

- a MM romance! college romance, roommates to lovers, puppy play, instalove!
- god Jay is like Ryland but worse 😂😭
- absolutely love that Logan legit just went ‘wanna be boyfriends’ and then bam all done
- Logan is so unbelievably patient and it was the sweetest thing to read
- the puppy play scenes were done SO well and the way Jay was so curious and happy was adorable
- not really a big plot to this story, just them slowly working out their relationship and dynamics, super sweet!
- loved the grandma as well she was amazing
- it did get quite repetitive with Jay’s constant not knowing what to do that it got a bit annoying won’t lie
- and there was the perfect opportunity to have an amazing third act conflict with Jay’s parents, him being brave enough to stand up to them (like it would of added to his character development SO well) and nothing!! we just get told about it in the epilogue
- so yeah that was really disappointing but overall a sweet book!

I put off reading this one because I wasn't as interested in Jay's story based on his brief appearance in book 2 in this series. I'm not usually a fan of naive or overly innocent MCs, but I was pleasantly surprised with Jay. He was innocent, but somehow instead of being annoying it was just so sweet. You wanted to just hold his hand and guide him through everything so I could understand the relationship between him and Logan a lot. Overall, it was my favourite book of the series and I wish I'd read it sooner!

It's no secret that I love this authors books....I don't think I've ever read a book where one of the MC's is as innocent as Jay..He was adorable though in how he lived...His innocence was beautiful.....Logan was totally perfect for him...Never pushed him, never took things too far as was a beautiful master for him....This is a slow easy read but totally hot in the right parts...A perfect read x

Great book. This is my first book on puppy play, so I appreciated that it was a bit on the tame side, there was probably, like, two scenes. Jay is such a cutie pie and Logan was such a perfect Dom. Overall, it was pretty sweet and fluffy, no angst and incredibly well-written. I recommend it. And it can be read as a stand-alone.

I have been excited to meet Jay and Logan since their brief introduction in Finn’s book and it was worth the wait! I adored Jay! You just want to eat him with a spoon! He is adorable as Logan helps him answer all of his many questions. This was a really fun read that anyone could enjoy.

Jay fue criado en una comunidad donde no se hablaba de sexo para nada, ni se permitia tener acceso al mundo exterior porque todo era pecado. Pero el presiono para poder ir a la univesidad suficientemente lejos para tener cierta independencia, lo que no se esperaba es que el resto del mundo fuera tan diferente y tan "liberal", y mucho menos la mala suerte que ha tenido con sus companeros de habitacion en la universidad. Este ultimo, Logan, es realmente tranquilo, a excepcion de que le gusta desnudarse dentro de la habitacion y andar sin camisa lo que lo vuelve loco, ademas tiene una caja de "cosas" debajo de su cama que le dijo que no podia tocar y que el se muere por tocar, sobre todo esa mascara tan linda.
Logan se vio obligado a estar en los dormitorios y le toco un companero de habitacion de lo mas extrano, muy puritano, pero que esta seguro que es sumiso y se siente atraido por el, pero es demasiado inocente y curioso, sobre todo con el disfraz de mascota que tiene guardado en su caja de 'juguetes" debajo de la cama. Jay seria una mascota muy linda y si pudiera ser su mascota seria mejor, pero estaria el interesado en serlo? Podria aprender a ser el sumiso que siempre ha querido?
Jay tiene que aprender a confiar en Logan y dejarse llevar, pero Logan tiene que aprender a tener paciencia y a ensenarle a Jay como dejarse llevar y aceptar a su sumiso interior.

El libro, ademas del tema de mascotas en BDSM, es bastante dulce, Jay es un joven totalmente inocente y Logan es practicamente super-experimentado, aunque ambos son mas o menos de la misma edad. Esto hace el libro bastante romantico y algunos momentos hasta rosa. Pero pierde la interaccion con los personajes de los libros anteriores, que fue una de las cosas que mas me habia gustado de esta serie. Asi que abandonamos a Ryland y a Finn totalmente, y vemos mucho a Kevin y Brian (que pertecen a otra serie), asi que me parece que mas bien este libro debria pertenecer a otra serie y no a esta.
Pero bueno, dejando a parte ese tema, el libro te deja exactamente igual que los demas, con muchas dudas de lo que paso despues, hay brincos en la trama y temas que te quedas como "como llegaron a eso?", ademas hay unos brincos estranos en el tiempo, a veces te dicen que han pasado unos dias, pero mas adelante te cambia el tiempo en que recuerda que sucedio algo, asi que a veces se desubica en el tiempo que estan pasando las cosas.
Este es el ultimo libro de la serie, y aunque no es mala la historia, la forma en que termina la serie no me emociona.
Me entere que el nombre autor es un "alter ego" de Shaw Montgomery, que es un autor de libros mucho mas eroticos y de BDSM, y que creo este nuevo "nombre" para escribir libros mucho mas romanticos.
Mi proxima serie seguro sera de el, quiero ver la diferencia entre los dos estilos.

l am in love with Jay...

He is so sweet, so totally innocent and completely bewildered,
most of the time he spends around people.
Coming from a very sheltered existence, with only some ultra religious
neighbours around, Jay has grown up with no life experience.
His whole knowledge of the world has been what his parents have told him,
being home schooled also, he has grown up very influenced.
He has never dated, nor experienced being touched and held, or even loved.

Persuading his parents, Jay has managed to start college in a big town.
Everything is overwhelming, and making friends not easy at all.
He stands out as the odd boy , everywhere he goes.
Jay has to live in the dorms...
He's had to share with some very unpleasant roommates, until Logan moves in.

Logan is a well travelled, worldly mature young man.
He is comfortable in his skin, and in his preferences,
he is a Dom, but with a particular kink.
So far Logan hasn't been able to find a boy to fulfill his needs.

Logan keeps a box full of " special toys" under his bed.
Jay feels a pull, a need to keep looking into the box.
Something in there is making him feel weird, but he doesn't know why.

Each time Logan leaves the room, Jay is there, on his knees, just looking at the box.
Logan is getting frustrated with his roommate, this quiet and intense boy
is making him feel hopeful.
Hopeful that whatever is in the box is fascinating to Jay.
Hopeful that maybe he would like to take them out and try them.
However, Jay is like a rabbit caught in headlights.
He is in so much trouble with Logan, but what will he do ?
Why can't he just read his mind, why does he have to expect answers, words ?
Why didn't Google prepare him for this situation?

l have met a lot of characters from this author's pen, but l have to say that Jay is
in another level. The innocence of this 19 year old boy, like a newborn baby has touched
me so much. He has been brought to life with so much care and insight, that l found
that l could not stop reading, l wanted more.
As for Logan, his level of patience with Jay has been a total joy.
l adored this story so much.

Clueless to cared for to copiously loved

Extraordinarily sweet and comforting introduction to socialization, dating, puppy play, friendship, kissing, submission, extremely light and caring D/s, sex, and love for an extremely naive 18 year old college guy by his experienced and incredibly patient roommate. Yes, that saccharine, but also that sweet and comforting.

It would be hard to write a college student who would be more believably naive. While Jay had enought Internet skills to "learn" about ideas from romance to kink, 18 years of an extraordinarily sheltered life (a la religious family commune) combined with a budding curiosity left him to be one confused puppy (almost literally).

As with most M.A. Innes books, I find it a refreshing exploration of a kink that is usually very much neglected in romantic stories (as opposed to erotica), and the author takes the reader and one of the characters through the very basics. (Per the typical plot device, one of the partners knows nothing or has big holes in their experience, allowing the author to take the reader step-by-step through many of the basics.) This often leaves me a little less invested in the story and relationships than I would normally prefer in a romance (as there is always something of an instructional, technical feel, despite the author's very impressive efforts to weave the explanations of the kink concepts and techniques into the natural flow of the story).

In this book, however, I think Jay's innocence drew me in deeper than most of the author's other characters. However, Logan struck me as one of those "too perfect" / "wish fulfillment" characters. On the one hand, I absolutely swooned at his care and slow patience with Jay as a perfect caregiver Dom/puppy trainer, making for a beautifully escapist and sweet comfort read. On the other, as much as I love this kink and genre, it's just not going to reach the five start mark for me.

Incredibly Cute!

I'd read a few reviews before I started this book and most of them kept almost gushing about how cute Jay was and how they just wanted to hug him forever and to cuddle with him. Now, I understand! I'm right there also!

The main character Jay, although he is a young man, already a junior in college at least, maybe a senior, so in his early twenties, has been so sheltered in his life until this year that he really doesn't know how to react to everyday things like a roommate who undresses in the room and wraps the towel around himself before going down the hall to the community shower. He also doesn't know how to react to what he sees in the box under his roommate's bed when his curiosity gets the better of him and he peeks into the box - it's so pretty!

This book gives us a look behind the scenes while Jay and Logan (his roommate) come to terms with sharing their space, and move forward to sharing who they are with each other. It's a slow burn heat as Jay is so naive however because of the same naivete, Jay is absolutely adorable and sexy in his learning about the real world. Everything is "a first" for him and that is a turn-on for Logan who gets to re-experience it himself.

Do yourself a favor and read this feel good book - you'll find yourself remembering your "firsts" for quite a few days yourself!

This story had so much to enjoy that it's difficult to remember all the details. Jay: nerd, sheltered, raised in a strictly religious commune, virgin, curious, sweet, and so much more. Logan, sexy, outgoing, smart, into BDSM, walks around his dorm room naked, raised by his gram since his parents are visiting professors who travel the world. Put the two together in one dorm room and see what happens.

This story is fun and sweet as Jay gets advice from his friends who are into BDSM (other M.A. Innes books) and give him advice on how to handle his roomie, especially when he peeks into the box under Logan's bed and discovers a puppy mask, tail, and other accessories.

Most of the story deals with Jay's awakening to both puppy play and to sex and to falling in love. I read it slowly so I could savor it as I went. The only downside, IMO, is that the ending felt rushed. By the time the two were finally together in body, mind, and spirit, the book was about over. The issues related to his upbringing and his parents' strict controls were resolved in a few paragraphs so I was disappointed that the story ended when it did. But, if you are a fan of a slow-building romance and a slow introduction to puppy play, those key elements are here.

I've really enjoyed this three part series and I plan to read more from the author very, very soon.

Wonderful series...please don't end it!!

I'm not sure if the author reads these reviews but if you do please don't end these characters. I loved all the characters in all three books but I see them going so much further. Logan and Ray are just getting started in their explanation and still have so far to go. Ryland and Holden from the first book haven't moved in together yet though it was implied they would. Finn and Beckett were in the middle of their explorations. Miller and Ash need to find their life partners. There are so many places to take them, I just don't want to let them go. I love the humor, passion, romance, patience and eroticism you put into your books. This series so well written and has such flow, I was immersed in it immediately and didn't put it down until I finished. I really do hope you continue it. I know some of the characters can be found in other books but the main characters in these three books plus the previously mentioned side characters would make great subjects to follow up with. I so highly recommend this series. It was everything I was looking for and humor had me laughing out loud a lot. I hope to see more of these characters. I could go on and on about how much I loved the series.

Jay grew up in an unusual family and that meant that college was difficult for him because he was so sheltered and socially awkward. Lost alone he was isolated until his new roommate made life more interesting for him. Logan grew up in an unusual family with a very different outlook on life - his parents travelled the world and his very open-minded grandmother was his primary caregiver. Logan doesn't believe in heading who he is or wants out of a relationship. That is until his curious roommate becomes too nosy. When the two roommates find out they have more in common than they think, they learn that different doesn’t have to be bad, and falling in love is easy once the walls that keep them apart are stripped away.

I enjoyed this story with the shy and skittish Jay and the confident and assured Logan. Logan was careful to introduce Jay at his own pace to a relationship and his world and Jay was sweet and trusting as he tried to be brave and change a lifetime of a very strict upbringing. I think they made a beautiful couple who definitely had a strong relationship that had a happy future ahead of them. Easy to read and understand. This contains MM mature content of a BDSM DDLB nature including puppy play and spanking.

The biggest thing I can say about this book is that it is a sweet and cute romance. You have Jay that is so awkward he has a hard time relating to anyone. Then you have Logan that is outgoing but still responsible. Jay has went through several roommates and Logan is his last chance to make things work. The question is will they?

I loved Jay. He just didn't quite understand things that other college kids did. He was socially awkward but brain smart. Logan was also a great character. He had the benefit of growing up with supportive people in his life. I think out of the two, I liked Jay just a little bit more because I could understand him.

I do have to say a quick word about Logan's grandma. She was a bit of a stinker. You could really see where Logan got his sureness. I loved some of the antics she got up to. I also loved what she said to Jay. I won't give more away because that part furthered the plot. It was a fun part though.

In the end, this book made me want to go back and read the rest of the series. I kind of wonder what other couples the author has in store.

Jay & Logan

I’m learning how much this author likes to bring her characters back in related series. There is even an afterward showing the links.

We see Finn and Ryland briefly. Jay’s conversation with them from Finn’s book, this time from Jay’s perspective. We also see quite a bit of Bryan and Kevin. Jay becomes close friends with them.

Logan is a worldly young man, confident in who he is and what he likes. He’s a Dom with a box of BDSM toys under his bed with a beautiful puppy play mask on top. And his roommate Jay keeps moving the box to look at the mask. The problem is, Jay gives Logan nothing. He doesn’t ask questions or show any emotion but curiosity. And it’s driving Logan crazy. So he lets his inner Dom out.

“Only naughty boys disobey rules like this. You will not touch my things without asking. Have I made myself clear?”

He nodded slowly, his eyes getting wider as he stared at me. “Yes, Sir.”

Fuck.

He made me insane—and hard.

“Are you trying to be a naughty boy?”

“No.” He said the right word, but his eyes seemed to go right through me, and I knew he was looking at the box.

“Do you have something you want to ask me?” Like questions about puppy play? Hell, I’d take a confession that he was at least gay and curious about the lifestyle.

“No.” His quiet answer was exactly what I’d expected.

“I will not tolerate naughty boys. Do you understand?” For numerous reasons, one of which was that fussing at him made me hard as fuck. “There will be consequences if you can’t make better choices.”

“Yes, Sir.” Jay looked startled, and a bit confused, but when I stood, he turned back to his book and started reading through it again.

Fuck. He drove me nuts.

At the very least, he should have told me to fuck off. Another reasonable answer would have been to hint that he wanted me. Instead, it was nothing. He made me insane.


Jay, well, he’s from an ultra religious background. Homeschooled. Never had a boyfriend. Never even had unfettered internet access until he arrived at college. And Logan’s threat of consequences intrigues him as much as it scares him.

After a chat with his friends Bryan and Kevin, Jay comes back to the room to confess he was naughty and looked in the box again. The sprinkling of not-so-vanilla terms finally gives Logan a hint of where Jay’s head is. They sit on the floor together, Jay leaning against Logan’s chest while they explore the box together. He lets Jay hold the mask and the plug style tail.

Their conversation has them agreeing to pursue a relationship. Jay takes to having rules and consequences, and loves kisses and cuddling. And the next time Logan catches him looking at the box, he tries the mask and paws on (still dressed from the waist down). He takes to being a pup immediately. Sweetest scene ever.

Another sweet couple. Also, love Logan’s grandmother.

Contains puppy play, spankings, and orgasm control (including use of a cock ring and cock cage).

Jay grew up incredibly sheltered, and college was quite an awakening for him. After several roommate disasters, he is paired with Logan, who has a box under his bed that curious Jay can't stay away from. This is how Jay discovers kink, and I'm so happy that he's able to get his questions answered by his sexy roomie! Bryan and Kevin, from other books by this author, are there to help Jay at times, which is added fun!
Jay and Logan are so perfect together, and it's great to see how Jay blossoms as Logan's boyfriend and submissive. Their mystery box-connected play doesn't cover a lot of pages, but it is very important and is the springboard for their relationship. I love each time Jay is ready for another small step sexually with Logan, because each one is a huge boost to his confidence and happiness. Logan is patient and loving, and he goes from irritated with his nosy roommate to enchanted by his nervous but brave boy.
This sexy story is sweet and funny, as the author always provides, and I love it so much!
