This is one of those books that has been sitting on my shelves, gathering dust. Everyone kept telling me to read it, but for some reason I resisted. Why? That's the question I'm asking myself right now as well lol.

This is one of those rare pieces of work. It's funny, yet there is a depth of emotion that wasn't expected. There are moments I want to slap Gillibran. Times I want to tell him to grow up and be quick about it, because he doesn't deserve those guys he's got. Yet at so many other times I could feel for him and see where it was all coming from.

I would love to know at times what Dick and Shane are both thinking while these tantrums etc are being played out, but the account of Gilli is fantastic. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series. ( )

Yes, there were some deliciously funny lines... BUT. (There's always a but isn't there?) It took me forever to get through this because I would get so frustrated with Gilli's shenanigans (and just plain childishness) that I had to put the book down for a while... like days and days a while. Also, for the life of me, I couldn't feel the connection between the characters and perhaps that lies in being thrown into this domestic discipline relationship without learning anything about how the three came together. Will I read the other books? Perhaps. After some time has passed. ( )

Absolutely fantastic book. Gillibran has a very distinct voice that’s a pleasure to read. His antics are hilarious, but it’s not all fun and games. One minute I was laughing out loud and the next I was wiping tears off my face. The book is an emotional roller coaster.

I think this might be the first book I’ve read where the punishment portion of a BDSM relationship isn’t always about sex. The punishments aren’t romanticized, as such; it’s not about foreplay but about the person being punished learning they did wrong and there are consequences. Not that that made any difference to Gilli’s actions… It’s a wonder the boy can sit at all.

As much as a dick Shane often was, I got it. Most of the time I didn’t like it, but I still got it. What he says, goes, and Gilli isn’t exactly a stickler when it comes following the rules and doing as he’s told… Dick is the perfect nurturer for Gilli with his sweetness and affectionate nature. I am definitely reading more of Gilli and his two Daddies. ( )

This story was really a fun read. I loved the relationship between all three characters. I wonder if should worry that Gilli reminds me of myself. I could so relate when he overhears something and immediately goes to over react, when he goes to worse case scenario, when he doesn't want to take medication because that's admitting he has a condition, and taking things personally. I really enjoyed this story. ( )

What I enjoyed most about this book was the interspersed commentary about life in Britain, its politics, its customs all told in an amazingly common sense manner. This aspect is not often mentioned and attention is just centred on the hilarious antics. All these stem from the same source, Gilli's ability to analyse, over-analyse and pick the remaining bits to shreds before gathering them all up and starting again.

The interaction between the three men, the Dom/Sub-Dom/Sub all playing out their roles to perfection became just that, roleplay. Best summed up after Gilli's emotional trip home to see his mother
Dick and Shane arrived home to find me knee deep in snot and tears, sitting on the bottom stair, holding a soggy Christmas card and babbling incoherently about robins never sitting on the same branch. I didn’t even understand why I was crying. I only knew that the tears were an expression of some grief that I had yet to find words for, that I had yet to come to an understanding of. Maybe that’s just the way it is for most of us, and maybe most of us will never find the words, maybe we will never understand. Maybe the lucky, the successful people in life are the ones who accept that some things can never be fully explained and understood? Dick was all kind concern. He cuddled me, I was his honey, his sweetheart, his pretty baby and I wasn’t to cry because he was my Daddy and he’d make everything better. Shane was all sharp impatience. I was a tiresome boy, and what the hell had I been doing all day, not what I should have been doing, that much was abundantly clear. He did not appreciate coming home to find that dinner was going to be delayed because I’d neglected my duties in favour of having an impulsive, emotional away day. In future I was to consult with him before taking a workday off. He told me to sort myself out or he’d really give me something to cry about. The smack he applied to my backside was balanced by the kiss Dick applied to my lips. I got on with making dinner and felt better. Later, curled up on the couch between them, my head on Shane’s lap, my feet on Dick’s, I felt much more peaceful

Were Shane's words meant to be taken literally in this case? I don't think so, they were simply to give Gilli a constant, a certainty while he came to terms with his over-thinking.
Was it a healthy relationship? To answer that question, you have to go back to the section which describes what Gilli's life had been like after leaving home at 17. Yes, he was looking for a father figure, but in turn they were in Shane's case looking for a reminder of the youthfulness he'd lost* and in Dick's case an ability to top/care for/baby. If they wanted a mature acting adult, they could have easily turfed Gilli out. Leo would have taken him in like a shot.

* Good call there. I wrote this before I started the second book where I had my suspicions confirmed: His life would be bland without me around to put his watch through the washer, break the toilet, ruin the computer and forget to pick his stuff up from the cleaners. I keep him young. ( )
