“I was falling for my roommate and worried I’d never be enough for him.”
In a word: Read the thing. I think this might be my new favourite age play romance. Chase was adorable and Jayden was amazing and I loved the progression of their relationship. This is basically two people accidentally stumbling into an age play relationship, though this time it’s one where the little knows more about what’s going on than the Daddy, although he’s still completely inexperienced. Chase and Jayden are both college students living in student housing. After a negative experience with his former roommate and best friend, Chase is moved into Jayden’s room. Neither of them are particularly happy with this arrangement, but they do end up quickly warming up to each other. Chase is a little, and he’s done his best his whole life to keep it hidden from the people around him. Jayden accidentally discovers this and Chase is surprised that he’s so accepting of it all. It seems like Jayden is a natural caregiver because he sort-of immediately steps into the role until Chase can find a Daddy of his own. Of course, it soon becomes clear that neither Chase nor Jayden want someone else to be Chase’s Daddy, and it’s just a matter of getting Jayden to believe that. This story is cute, and I really enjoyed Chase and Jayden’s interactions with each other. They’re both a bit out of their depths with this new dynamic between them, but they’re really putting in the effort. They both communicate as best they can, and they both create an atmosphere where they can both be themselves and take care of each other. Jayden is a natural caregiver and easily slips into his new role, even though it takes him a bit to be comfortable actually claiming the responsibility. And seeing Chase actually feel safe enough to sink into his little headspace was great and I was so happy that he was able to do that. Chase and Jayden live in student housing with some others, and the ones we see the most were Brandon and Matt and I’m really interested in their story and dynamic, and I hope we get to see their story play out in a future book. I did think there were some things, like the thing with Chase’s former roommate and issues with his family, that I wish we’d gotten more insight into, and I felt like the ending was maybe a bit abrupt, but overall I really like this book. I hope we see more of this series going forward.
The Summary: (from Amazon.ca) After things went south with my last roommate, I’m determined to hide my little side until I graduate from college. That’s not possible once Jayden learns my secret…
Being a little in the dorms isn’t easy. When my first roommate found out, he freaked. With a new semester and a new roommate, I promise myself I’ll keep my gear locked away.
Except at night when everyone is sleeping…
Jayden’s not nearly as inclined to let me hide after he finds my binkie in the laundry. Correction, after his mom finds it.
Shoot me now.
Even though he’s never considered himself to be a Caregiver, Jayden makes it his mission to help me find a daddy. Neither of us knew he’d be the best fit for the job. He’s always there and he’s a natural caretaker.
No matter how close we get, the D word is off-limits for him. Will he ever accept the role he’s assumed in my life? Or will I start the next school year once again looking for a place to stay?
Rooming Together is the first in a new series set in the kinky town of Annandale featuring binkies, stuffies, and adorably padded backsides. It features cameo appearances from The Lodge series characters but can be read as a standalone.
