Debbiereadsbook (1359 KP) rated A Little Christmas: Terrence in Books
Jan 18, 2023
I liked this, but I'm not sure I can say I loved it, though!
Oh, don't get me wrong, it's a good story. I loved Terrence and Warner. Hated the lawyer dude right from the start, but that was justified. Loved Warner's friend, and the part he plays.
I liked how Terrence and Warner slotted together perfectly. And how Warner didn't do anything without the clues from Terrence. I especially like that Warner made Terrence wait to fully consummate their relationship. I do enjoy being made to wait!
I think, for me, it was the level that Terrence sank into his little that I struggled with. There are some aspects of Daddy/little play that are a bit hit and miss for me, depending on how it’s delivered in the story. This goes a little bit too deep into that particular aspect, I’m afraid, and that’s why I couldn’t quite love it.
I did like it, and it’s a wonderful tale. I loved that Terrence gets his HEA in more ways than one.

Helen Juliet usually retells fairy tales, and a cracking job she has of those too! This is not a fairy tale, but a literary classic. And a cracking job she does of this too!
I have one minor niggle, and it really is just a personal preference.
First person
Present tense
AND
Multi point of view!
Now, if you follow my reviews you'll know I have dumped many MANY books that I discover are written this way. I will make no apologies for that, I know what I like and I will own it every time. I wasn't able to dump this one, as apart from this point I really enjoyed it!
Sai and Jude are married, and they have Tian as their third. It has been so for 3 years. But Tian looks at Evan and sees so much pain, he just wants to be such a good boy for him.
The established 3-way works best because of 2 rules: you always come home, and communication. I found the communication in this book between Tian, Jude and Sai was outstanding and it paved the way for all three men to find themselves attracted to Evan in ways they really didn't see coming.
I loved how things changed for them all over time. Sai found himself wanting to be looked after, even though he was the Daddy in the three way. Jude wanted to be a good boy for Daddy Evan, while he was a brat to Daddy Sai. And Tian? Well just was just gonna be the bestest little boy a Daddy could wish for. Evan changed too, settling his ghosts to rest, and letting someone else into his heart. Well, someones, plural.
It's incredibly well written, and well delivered. It pushes most of my buttons, (point already made!) and is Ms Juliet at her best. Sweet and so very smexy. But deeply emotional too. Mostly from Evan letting go of Beau.
I loved how I was able to slot this book along side the Dickens version, and even if he might be not be best pleased, I really loved it!

Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Bailey's Day in Books
Apr 27, 2018
Genre: Kids
Rating: 1
I loved reading Bailey's Day, it was really cute and funny, had fun illustrations, and fun animals. I loved Bailey's character. She was a perky little dog who spent all day running around the neighborhood with her friends and having a good ol' time… until the end.
At the end of the story… Bailey get's scolded for going out and running around the neighborhood all day. I expected her to be sad and say "yes master" to her owner, and then realize that having fun wasn't worth it if she disobeyed her "daddy," or maybe that obedience was more important… or something... she didn't. She laid down on her bed, perfectly at ease, and knew her "daddy" (owner) was a "softie" and that he'd get over it, and that she'd have fun tomorrow too. My jaw dropped as I read that last page.
This totally ruined an adorable story. Kids fiction should have good examples to follow, and bad examples to learn from with the lesson clearly stated, but this one makes it look like disobedience and disregard and disrespect are perfectly ok if you can get away with it. I am sorry to say that I cannot recommend it to anyone for this reason.

The two most heart wrenching moments in this series for me is Ed screaming for Al to come back and sacrificing a limb to get his baby brothers soul back and the moment the little girl turns into a chimera. "Daddy play?" Always makes me tear up.
In the end Ed and Al get their happy ending, with Ed and Winry getting married and having kids. It's a true testament as tongow much Ed loves Al by the fact he gave up his alchemy to save his brother.
Happy endings might seem a tad cliche but if any characters in any universe deserved it, it was the Elric brothers
Would like to see a spin off tho with Roy mustang and his crew!!!
