The Little CEO
Phex Blanchet seems to have it all. He’s a successful CEO, his house is ginormous, and he drives the car of his dreams.
But he lacks a Daddy.
Nothing relaxes Phex more than sinking into his little headspace, where he can play with cars or trains, drink from sip cups, and wear pull ups.
But it’s hard without a Daddy.
Sadly, no matter how hard he’s tried, he can’t seem to find a Daddy who wants him the way he is. Until he meets club owner Devlin “Daddy D” McHale.
Could Daddy D be the perfect Daddy Phex has been searching for this whole time?
The Little CEO is an 18k ageplay short story featuring an exhausted little, a sweet, caring Daddy, and all the hurt comfort your heart can handle. Plus, the happiness of endings. This story previously appeared in the Dirty Daddies Anthology 2021.

The short? You got it.
I write steamy gay romance books and I love it. I also love reading books. Books are everything.
How was that?
A little more detail? Gotcha.
I started writing my first stories when I was a teen…on a freaking typewriter. I still have these, and they’re adorably romantic. And bad, haha. Fear of failing kept me from following my dream to become a romance author, so you can imagine how proud and ecstatic I am that I finally overcame my fears and self doubt and did it. I adore my genre because I love writing and reading about flawed, strong men who are just a tad broken..but find their happy ever after anyway.
My favorite books to read are pretty much all MM/gay romances as long as it has a happy end. Kink is a plus… Aside from that, I also read a lot of nonfiction and not just books on writing. Popular psychology is a favorite topic of mine and so are self help and sociology.
Hobbies? Ain’t nobody got time for that. Just kidding. I love traveling, spending time near the ocean, and hiking. But I love books more.

Cute, sweet and fast. I love how this prioritize their lifestyle outside of ageplay. Somehow it portrayed realism in it. I like that they communicate really well and it’s not easy for them to trust each other. and the Daddy was solemnly in it for the boy. How sweet. I got bored after they’ve established their relationship, bcs it was all sex business afterwards. It was good for a short :)

This is so cute. The successful CEO who so desperately needs a Daddy to care for him. I think it's so adorable that a person who is constantly there for others and has a leadership role almost breaks down because no one is there for him and puts him first. This is something that is right out of my heart.
Phex is so wonderful and yet he has never been able to find himself someone. It's such a shame that everyone has only hurt him so far. 😭😭😭
Fortunately, Daddy Devlin finds him. 😍😍😍
Devlin had rarely seen someone who so badly wanted to sink into his little headspace…and was so scared to do so, afraid he’d get hurt again, rejected.
Phex in his little space is sweetly sweet.
He had toys and things other kids could only dream of. At the same time, he’d trade all that luxury for a Daddy who would truly understand him. All of him.
For such a short story, there is a wonderful balance between ageplay and "real" life. Refreshing that sex didn't play a role at first. And nice how the two communicate.

A 92-page short story featuring an exhausted CEO of a large company who is also a "little", add a sweet, caring "Daddy", plus all the hurt comfort your heart can handle, then sit back and enjoy their HEA ending when their dreams may have at last come true.

Eh. 50/50. I mean, it was without a doubt adorable but that’s about it.

A fun, fast-paced, cute & short, MM Daddy Dom romance by Nora with Hurt-Comfort, Playtime, Water fun! Read this in one-seating (2hrs), adored Devlin & Phex!
Phex (Little Mickey!) is successful & CEO of his company but finding a daddy for himself is tough, especially when they feel threatened by his success. So he spends his time in Paradise BDSM club, for relaxing.
Devlin (Daddy D!) is the owner of Paradise Club (Las Vegas), he's been temporary dom for many but wants a little for his own. Seeing the lonely Phex tugs at his heartstrings.
"He wanted a place to be himself, nothing more. Especially not a super-hot, protective Daddy like Devlin."
When they meet, Phex is cautious, Devlin is warm..their needs align. Spending time together, they realise they are perfect for eachother 🥰. I loved how Dev handled Phex's past hurts!
"Devlin would wait for as long as he had to because now that he’d met the boy he wanted to make his own, he was never letting him go again."
Glad he didn't have to wait for long 😁. The characters are mature (early 40s), & the story has a insta feel to it. But it's pretty good! I love Nora's stories ❤️.
I did want more of their past & future, but I won't be greedy lol. I read this on children's day, Nov 14 ;)

I was looking for a short, sweet and wholesome daddy/little book. And I definitely got what I wanted!
First of all Phex and Devlin were really precious, I loved them both from the start!
And they had such great chemistry from the beginning, even with Phex unsureness of letting go and show his vulnerable side, Devlin was there for him and did what a Daddy should do for a boy. To take care of him and give him the stability and comfort he needs. And Deviln did such an amazing job doing so!
I really liked their daddy/little dynamic but also when Phex wasn’t in his little space. And I really have to say I was so happy about the amount of communication they had! It didn’t left any space for any misunderstandings in the end, what i was glad for.
Only thing I have to criticize a bit is the amount of sex that came towards the end, for me personally the novella didn’t really needed that. I mean don’t get me wrong their sex scenes were really hot and I enjoyed them but I wouldn’t have minded to have less or even non of them.
All in all this was a really comforting and wholesome read and I’m really glad I picked up💓

Sorry. Not my book.
May 25, 2023
Short and sweet. Daddy D was so patient with Phex. I loved how well they got along together. I also loved that sex wasn’t the main focus for their relationship, especially at the beginning. Daddy D knew his boy needed rest and that what he gave him. This was such a cute read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️
It’s been a hot minute since I read a good Dd/lb story and Nora never disappoints.
I love how she always flips the script on traditional dynamics. In this scenario Phex the little who goes by Mikey is a very powerful man, as the CEO and owner of a successful company. So, it’s hard for him to find a daddy who understands his needs, who he is.
Enter Devlin who like most daddies, it seems in these stories is always looking for that boy to keep. He automatically feels protective of Phex and convinces him to give having a daddy another try after numerous failed attempts.
Of course Dev gives both Mikey and Phex everything they need. It’s such a sweet, easy to read story that I highly enjoyed. I only wish it were longer.

Great little story
I love Nora's books and am pretty sure I've read all of them. This short story was one I hadn't read before as, by the time I first discovered it, the anthology it was in was no longer available. I'm so glad that it is available again. I really enjoyed the whole thing as, although it is short it didn't feel rushed and still had all the feels. Get it, you won't regret it.

Great Daddy/Little short
Love Nora Phoenix books.
Phex has his own company, but has been out down by so many daddies so he goes to the club to be a Little and relax.
Devlin owned the club and has been watching Phex for the past six months. When Devlin offers to be his Daddy to allow him to relax Phex accepted.
Their time together is just what each other needs.

A little Story with no whining
Very cute story. Devlin falling for Phex curled up on the floor asleep in the Play Room at the club with no Daddy to watch over him was very sweet. This wasn’t annoying like some stories about littles can me - tantrums and whining are not cute to me. The power dynamic between Devlin’s care taking and Phex’s money is interesting. A nice story with two people made for each other.

July 15, 2023I don’t think this author is a fit for my tastes, but that’s not to say she isn’t yours :)
This is a sweet Little’s romance that is about a Daddy providing care and structure without the demands or strict rules.
If your new to Little’s this is good book for dipping your toes in.
This book however is pretty tame compared to other Little books I’ve read. I think I just prefer high heat and more sexy times.

See how this is one of my go-to authors, I was confident that I would be enjoying this story... and I was right! LOL!!!
Yes, it would have been nice to have had a bit more backstory for both Phex and Devlin but short stories are called "short" for a reason, so I just pretty much went with the flow! *grin*

Sweet Romance
If you love a sweet and kind Daddy and a little who is lonely and misunderstood and has given up on ever finding his Daddy then you will love this short story by Nora Phoenix who is the queen of daddy/little stories.
This is a hurt/comfort book, which was originally part of an anthology, and will tug at your heartstrings.

Realized I read this when it was part of the anthology. It was fine with a little running a company that most daddies want to control more, until he meets the owner of a BDSM club who offers to help. I liked that Phex was a competent CEO and not just a guy wanting to be little 24/7.
November 22, 2022
I'm not specifically into littles and Daddy Doms, but this book worked for me. Just the right length for an easygoing, no-nonsense feel good story. No padding with drama, just a sweet connection, a great relationship fit and some hot sex.

Adorable
I enjoyed Phex and Devlin’s story. It’s a quick, sweet, no angst read. Devlin reminded me of Brendan from Gentle Hands as both are kind, patient, and determined to be the perfect Daddy for their boy.
