He lets out the smallest of breaths. “You make me feel fragile in a way I’ve never allowed before. And I like it. A lot. Please don’t break me.”
I had the best time reading about Teddy and Kipp! Emmy Sanders wrote their dynamic and relationship so well and I fell totally in love with them and their story!
I adored Kipp and Teddy, to the degree that I kept going back to their story for a week. Kipp was so much fun to read, I loved his personality, all bratty and teasing, and it worked so well together with Teddy’s personality. And Teddy? He was the absolute sweetest Daddy Dom, so caring and ridiculously in love with Kipp. They were perfect for each other and I loved to see Teddy take care of Kipp and giving him things in their relationship that he wasn’t even aware that he needed.
There was a lot of humour, and Kipp’s inner monologues in particular made me laugh a lot. The back and forth between him and Teddy was very entertaining to read and I couldn’t put their story down. Their story was full of sweetness and incredibly swoony, I loved how they were both insecure about their feelings for each other and had to support each other in order to overcome the things from the past that held them back. They’re definitely one of my new favourite couples, and their dynamic was just *chef’s kiss*!
Teddy had a lot of great tropes and it was a fantastic and fun addition to the Elite 8 Studios series! I loved the cameos from the other characters, I’m really fond of these characters and the found family Emmy Sanders has created with this series, and I honestly can’t wait for Emil’s story!
Teddy’s lips brush over my cheek, my forehead. “You’re so beautiful, sweetheart. Every part of you. It hurts. Do you get that? It hurts how much I want you.”
God. Does he mean it?
