TEDDY

Elite 8 Studios - Book Five

Review

A little bit of kinky and a whole lot of tenderness.

I love it when authors have different styles of series or books. Emmy first came onto the scene with a gorgeous, emotional, and angsty series, but then also brought us the Elite 8 Studio series. Written with the same quality but lighter and more playful. It’s a great balance.

‘Teddy’ is all about found family and creating a life that feels safe and warm and accepting.

Teddy, the man, is such an easygoing and thoughtful guy. He’s a total Daddy. Even if he’s tried to erect some walls after a betrayal he endured. Something about Kipp draws him in, but he fights it, until one night when he wakes up married to that very man.

Kipp is kind of an adorable hot mess. A total people-pleaser. You can see why Teddy wants to look after him.

There’s a wonderful progression to this story, plenty of humour, and a lot of exploration. Also, with the support of the other, finding it in themselves to let go of the past hurts and toxic families so that they can embrace the beautiful life they’ve been building.

Want to wrap these two up in a big bear hug and revel in their fantastic HEA.

Synopsis

Waking up married is bad enough. Having feelings for my husband? Pure disaster.

Teddy

I wasn’t looking for attachments. I certainly wasn’t looking to get drunkenly hitched to my coworker’s best friend, the very man I’ve been denying an attraction to for over a year.

The thing is Kipp is gorgeous and kind and a self-proclaimed mess, and now that we’re married—and living together—all I want is to take care of him.

But Kipp is only just learning about his submissive side. It doesn’t matter how good he is for me. It doesn’t even matter that he turns to putty every time I call him doll.

He’s not mine to keep. Our husbands-with-benefits relationship is temporary, and once we get divorced, everything will go back to the way it was. Kipp and I may have shared our I dos, but let’s face it…

Falling for the man who wears my ring would only end in heartbreak.

Teddy is a wake-up-married romance between a teddy bear adult entertainer and the hot mess he shacks up with. There’s caretaker-Dom elements and a gentle exploration of kink, spanking (but not as punishment), only one bed, plenty of lighthearted mayhem, and one very HEA. It’s book five in the Elite 8 Studios series but can be read as a standalone.
