Kieran My relationship with Jared has lasted too long. He's mesmerizing, beautiful in his devotion, pure in his need. He reaches parts of me I thought no longer existed, places I'd never known were there. His submission is a gift. His cries of pleasure and pain call to the most primal parts of me. I want to inhale him, own him, mark him as mine. He's my boy and I need to be his Daddy, but my fear holds me back. I'll fail him like I've failed everyone else I've loved. Before that happens, I'll walk away. Jared I've never known security, love, or true pleasure before Kieran. With every touch, every command, every second of blissful, torturous pain, my heart grows and my soul is at peace. He protects me, spoils me, gives me what I need. Still, in some ways, he's closed off and won't let me in. But Kieran's given me strength. I've evolved, and won't accept less than I deserve...and I won't let Daddy accept less than he deserves, either. It's a delicate balance: give and take, pleasure and pain. Together we can break each other down to our purest forms and build each other up again. Kieran always says I'm stronger than I think, but I know that together we're invincible...if only he'd believe me. We have two choices: say goodbye or fight for what's always been out of both our reaches...fulfillment. Warning: Jared's Fulfillment contains BDSM elements, domestic discipline, spanking, and daddy kink--without age play--between consenting adults. If any of those things offend you, reading this book might not be a good idea. Jared's Evolution and Jared's Fulfillment must be read in order. Jared's Fulfillment is part of the Desires Unleashed collection. Some books in this collection will have darker themes. Please be aware Desires Unleashed are er*tic and not your typical Riley Hart romance. You can expect the mental and emotional journey to be led by the physical/s*xual moments--which will be intense, frequent and kinky.

The short and long is that if you liked [b:Jared's Evolution 36412928 Jared's Evolution (Jared & Kieran, #1) Riley Hart https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1508008097l/36412928.SY75.jpg 58108407] you'll probably like this one. On the flip side I didn't love the first book but I'm a completist, wanted to see this through, and had similar results to the first book. The Cliff Notes on this story is how Jared is “liberated” by Kieran to be his true self. The method? BDSM. Showing Jared that his true nature is being a submissive and more specifically a Boy. Humiliation, spankings, kneeling, domestic servitude & discipline, impact play, being shared and played with by others at your Daddy's will & command are not my thing but if it gets your ya ya's off more power to you. Congratulations. But when the dynamic encompasses daily life? Not so much. I wasn't sold on this so called liberation. Exchanging a cage for a pair of cuffs, to be beholden or more accurately dependent on another's approval and direction not only in the bedroom but in all aspects of life seems like no liberation at all. I wouldn't mind the hyperbolic way in which these two relate to each other if this were an A/B/O or shifter story. It's not. Perhaps Daddy/Boy relationships like this one, where the relationship bleeds beyond the bedroom, just aren't for me. Jared is supposed to be freed to be his true self by embracing his role as Kieran's Boy but is he really? To my mind Jared was a guy who'd clawed his way out of a neglectful childhood and foster care to become a successful criminal defense attorney. One that's so highly thought of that he's asked to become a partner. Pretty good by any measuring yard. While Kieran's “liberation” does bring Jared sexual fulfillment it seems that the rest just makes him dependent on Kieran's advice, orders, or approval to the point of paralysis even when Kieran doesn't want to give it. If I were a cynic I'd say that Kieran conveniently gets himself a houseboy/errand boy along with a sexual partner. I'm also amazed that Jared, being a trial attorney and now a partner at a law firm has a fairly regular 9 to 5 schedule which allows him to pick up dry cleaning, grocery shop, and cook dinner for his man like a 1950s housewife. Is it some kind of time portal? Also I feel like Jared's embrace of a myriad kinks in a pretty short amount of time felt rushed. More like the author wanting to represent different kinks and not the natural progression of someone's journey of discovery. I'm not saying he wouldn't/shouldn't like these things but I would imagine it would take him longer to try so many. Just a thought. Still I did not skim, I like the author's writing style, and was invested enough in the story to mentally argue with the characters and their decisions. I just couldn't love them (Kieran specifically) and mostly wanted to shake them. So going by GR's rating system I'm comfortable with 3 stars. As usual YMMV.
