  FEROCIOUS IOU - Book Six by Leslie McAdam Release Date: April 13, 2025 Review Such a fun and wild ride.  I love the feral gremlin-not twink / buttoned-up lawyer-not a daddy, opposites attract vibes.  It was such an unexpected mix that led both of them to finding the safety and acceptance to be their true selves. It had some twists and turns that kept things interesting, but through it all it was really about figuring themselves out, reexamining themselves, and finding their family. I also loved the kink aspect - I love primal play - but I especially love two people finding their perfect match.
