MP Book Reviews on Instagram: "Review #BookReview: A Daddy for Christmas 3: Nova by Layla Dorine 2 of 5 stars: A Daddy for Christmas 3: Nova by Layla Dorine My rating: 2 of 5 stars Nova’s supposed to be on a relaxing vacation, but his workplace can’t seem to function without him — his phone is buzzing nonstop before he even reaches his destination. Resigned to managing crises from afar, he tries to make the best of his time off, though his new co‑worker’s incompetence isn’t helping. Meanwhile, Robbie has built a peaceful, sun‑soaked life in Maui, spending his days surfing, teaching, and filming tutorials. When he notices Nova watching him from the beach, he introduces himself — only to learn Nova already knows him from his old days as a televised surf competitor. Intrigued by Nova’s quiet intensity and love of sunsets, Robbie decides to make it his mission to help the overworked man rediscover joy. With only three weeks before Nova returns to his stressful life, Robbie sets out to show him how to slow down, breathe, and let the island work its magic. I went into this book expecting a Daddy‑leaning dynamic, but what I got instead felt much closer to a standard contemporary romance. The story itself is sweet enough — the setting is lovely, the characters are likable, and the pacing is easy to follow — but the “Daddy” reference is so loose and underdeveloped that it barely registered in the narrative - maybe Nova being a middle damaged the story in some way. If you’re looking for a true Daddy/little dynamic with emotional depth or clear power‑exchange elements, this one may leave you wanting more. It reads like a perfectly ordinary vacation romance with a light sprinkle of kink terminology rather than an intentional exploration of that relationship style. A pleasant story overall, but not what I was hoping for based on the premise. This was an MM story with a little mature content.

MP Book Reviews on Instagram: "Review: Finding Jeremy by Layla Dorine 2 of 5 stars Jeremy maintained a deep bond with his best friend Haven during prison visits, but his true focus was Grayson, Haven’s son, whom he secretly loved. After Grayson’s release from serving eight years, Jeremy and Grayson begin working together in Haven’s shop. With his past debts cleared and a fresh start in the community, Grayson is determined to finally pursue the man he loves—Jeremy. I struggled with this story of enduring loyalty, redemption, and love, finally given a chance after years of separation. I found it hard to get my head around the men, their connection and their relationship. Having read other stories in the series, I did wonder why I found it so hard to get on with. I did, however, like the courage to pursue desire after years of silence, the resilience of bonds tested by hardship, and the healing power of community and second chances. Easy to read and understand.
