Dear Daddy, Please Love Me

Why this book is drove me nuts:

Difficult to connect with characters. Laws on just seems too sappy and pathetic, Opie is an impulsive narcissist who just seems to be more obsessed with Lawson than in love with him. Opie really needed to grow up and stop putting his own needs first. I know they are supposed to be in a daddy relationship but Lawson doesn't seem to be getting that much out of it other than having some arm candy. Stop whining you want something like a Christmas tree and go get it yourself. 

Lawson doesn't need to switch. Yes, it is possible in m/m for one partner not to bottom. I think the old ‘I never bottomed before but I'd do it for him', is rather overused, like Law is some virgin in a bodice ripper. 

I apparently prefer daddy relationships where the sub partner actually has a job and a life but has a little time off to he taken care of, not one where the sub is pretty much useless and a complete child emotionally. 

The lack of Opie's impulse control, violence towards people who he thinks have had a relationship with Law and complete lack of listening to Law should be red flags. Yes, he had a bad childhood, but it's not really addressed in that he doesn't show growth as a person or remorse. His behaviour is excused by others as the person he lashes out at ‘deserved it'. 

The snow rescue scene was cheesy as hell. Followed by hypothermia recovery sex. Because cock is a well known medication for hypothermia.

They don't seem to have a relationship based on anything other than lust and mutual obsession. 

I found the part where opie insisted on going to Law's father's house then swimming in the nude and having really loud sex with him really cringe. Homophobic father or not I thought it was quite disrespectful and harmed Law's relationship with his father. 

I think that part of the daddy relationship that resonate with me tare the ones where there is emotional growth and the daddy helps the sub to be the best person they can. I didn't think that this book really explored that.
