My Kind of Man by AG Silver
(pseudonym for JJ Harper)
Michael knows what he wants. He wants a daddy.
When yet another attempt at a relationship fails, Michael decides to find himself his daddy. The one man that will care for him, nurture him, and love him for who he is. Twenty-six-year-old and successful in his career, Michael knows he’s missing out on life. He’s a quiet, introverted man with desires that seem too far out of his reach. Until he goes to Escape one night.
Callum is tired of being lonely. He has everything to offer the right man.
When forty-year-old Callum is encouraged to visit Escape, his hopes are high, but his expectancy of finding the perfect man is low until he sees a young man nervously looking around the club. Everything about him ticks Callum’s boxes. Shorter than his six-foot frame with blond curls that cry out to be stroked, and a look of anxious longing on his face. Callum is transfixed.
With only a few words exchanged, the two men are hooked, eager to explore everything they have ever dreamed of. Is this a life they can fulfil, or will they find too many obstacles in their way?
My Kind of Man is an age-play story and contains M/M sexual content, spankings, age play, ABDL.
Excerpt One:
No one else catches my eye, so I finish my drink. Another wasted evening. Maybe I’m just not what men want in a little one. Placing my glass on the bar, I swivel back to the main room, resigned to go home. There, standing only a couple of feet away, is the hot daddy. He watches me intently, his dark brown eyes roaming my body.
“I hope you’re not leaving,” he states as he gets closer.
I swallow hard and instinctively lower my eyes. “Um…yes, Sir, I was about to,” I stammer, sounding a complete dork.
“That’s a shame.” He shakes his head. “I was about to offer you a drink.”
“O…Oh, I…I guess I can stay.” I stumble over my words but manage to smile shyly.
“Excellent. Would you like to join me at my table? My companion has left and I, too, am alone.” When he holds out his hand, I let him clasp mine. Fireworks shooting up my arm make me gasp as my eyes catch his. I choke at the sensation, and my face floods with heat as I blush.
“What would you like to drink?” he asks as he contemplates my reactions to him. “Or would you rather I choose for you?” A simple question, but it seems to imply so much more.
“I’ll let you decide,” I answer quietly.
I wait as he speaks to the bartender who nods and smiles.
“Come along. He’ll have them brought over.” His hand releases mine, only to move to my back. With a soft, but firm hand, he touches the inch of bare skin between my pants and my T-shirt, setting the nerves in my body alight. Will he feel what else I’m wearing? Will he like it? Then his hand travels farther south, onto my bottom. He hesitates for a fraction of a second and then pats it gently. I know he’s happy with what he felt.
We sink down on a dark red, plush velvet seat. It’s a good job I’m small. There is no way we would’ve fit otherwise. The image of me sitting on his knee flashes in my head, and it’s so real I stifle a moan of need. Turning to face me, his eyes blazing as he acknowledges the slight sound, he takes hold of my hand again.
“My name is Callum. What’s yours?” he asks gently. I think he’s trying not to frighten me off.
“Um, Michael.” My voice is soft, breathless, as he looks me over. Flushing again, I duck my head.
“It’s lovely to meet you, Michael. I don’t think I’ve seen you here before.”
“No, this is my first time.”
Excerpt Two:
CALLUM
I check my watch—for the twentieth time in two minutes—then stare at the door, willing Michael to walk in. It’s Wednesday evening, and this is our second date. Lunch on Sunday was a delight. Michael is as smart as he is adorable. We sat and talked for hours as he chattered about everything and anything. He takes great pleasure in teasing me, showing me the playful side of the little he so obviously is. He is perfect for me. Now I merely have to persuade him I’m the best daddy for him.
As I look at my watch again, the hostess approaches the table with Michael at her side. “Your guest,” she announces, and I stand, thanking her but unable to take my eyes of the divine man standing in front of me.
“Michael, please, have a seat.” We have a secluded booth, and I hope he’ll choose to sit next to me. I’d like to try and recapture the moments we had at the club, maybe not with the sippy cup but with me being in charge more. It’s time to assert my Daddy-self.
“I’m sorry I’m a little bit late. I set an alarm on my phone to stop working. Then an important call came in, and I couldn’t leave it. I’m sorry.” Michael really does look very sorry, as if he’s disappointed with himself.
“That’s okay, Michael, thank you for explaining. Would you like to relax tonight and let me take charge? I’m sure you could do with some downtime.”
“Yes, thank you, Da…Callum.” He blushes when he realizes what he was going to call me.
“Excellent, now, come and sit a bit closer to me, please,” I instruct him, and he happily complies. I pat his thigh reassuringly and enjoy the shudder that runs through him at my touch.
The server comes over and introduces himself as Robbie. “Can I get you gentlemen something to drink while you look at the menu?”
“Thank you, yes. I would like a glass of Chardonnay and a sparkling mineral water for my partner.” I give the order quickly and easily, even though Robbie falters a little and looks over to Michael for his approval.
“I’ll bring them over.” He turns and speedily scuttles back to the bar.
Review:
My Kind of Man by A.G. Silver
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
My Kind of Man (ARC) has been graciously provided to me by the author for an honest review. I voluntarily read it and have provided my honest review.
“Through Comfort and Love Comes Peace..”
A warm, comfortable, soothing blanket on a cold winter’s night..is just the type of read I always am in the mood for, especially when the weather begins to turn cooler, and, well..it’s always a welcomed feeling to be able to snuggle up with a comforting good book. As that love-of-warmth had recently invaded my being, I welcomed a new opportunity to read an upcoming new book from an author who I’ve read before and have thoroughly enjoyed, and, because of the chances being that this new book, would also be a good read, I jumped right in. With an eagerness of another good book, I began reading a new book from JJ Harper, pen-name A.G. Silver. As this author has written a new book containing a new daddy/little trope, I look forward to reading as it is one of my favorite tropes within one of my most favorite genres. And…let’s not forget the obvious..the cover is absolutely beautiful, as it’s almost always one of the first things that catches a reader’s eye, that is for sure. So, needlessly-to-say, I was greedily excited to start reading this book, especially since it is one of my favorite tropes within a super-favorite genre..
My Kind of Man, by A.G. Silver, is a gay romance with a daddy/little (age/play) lifestyle, with moments of D/s as well. It is a story about two men desperately looking for that one person who would be able to complete them, one who would be able to understand their wants and desires for that peaceful and satisfying life. Each having different kinds-of-desires, but both having that same one underneath their initial attraction as well. I was immediately able to connect with Michael as a sweet, kind, and incredibly intelligent man, one who bravely sets out on a quest to locate The One. The One who would be able to fill a multitude of hats. On this journey, as hope slowly begins to fizzle for this courageous man, like honey to a bee..his eyes come upon..Callum. Callum is an equally comfort-seeking man who is looking for that someone he’d be able to spread his nurture-seeking innate qualities with to the highest degree. As each man comes upon quite possibly the answer to their deepest and necessary of desires, a tidal wave of emotions barrels through each of them..as hope begins to make its presence..
My Kind of Man, by A.G. Silver, a first from this author of this trope, is a deeply-filled story, one that is to be considered as a heart-warming, angst-filled, heart-breaking, emotional read, that despite this, was somewhat of a slow-burn for this reader due to some questionable and confusing areas. It is, on the other hand, a story filled with love, soothing comfort, as well as a whole lot of sizzling times as well. As it may not be for every reader, it is one that would be able to satisfy those who are looking for a story heavily laden with a daddy/little lifestyle with extra moments of D/s interlaced with a physical relationship as well. It is a lengthy insta-love kind-of-story, and it does take the reader through a seemingly well-rounded relationship between these two men.
As mentioned briefly, I have always enjoyed stories containing this kind of trope, and, for this reason, found this story to be extremely welcoming and comforting as well, albeit a bit confusing, at times, due to the detailed and lengthy interlapping of the storyline as a whole. I did, though, feel such love and relief for Michael as he had found ways to find the comfort and peace his soul had so very much needed and had desired. I had equally felt such happiness for Callum as he ultimately had found such a wonderful, warm, and, perfect man after so many years of being in the lifestyle. My emotions did wind up going through the gamut throughout this story, as I read through all of the ups and downs for these two good men.
That being said, I did, however, at times, also have a difficult time with the writing of this story. As mentioned, it did contain many different avenues. Individually, they’re all super great to read. Interweaving all of them together..was a bit confusing to adequately distinguish each of them as well as collectively as part of a smoothly-written plot within a fabulous storyline. There were times when it was a challenge to distinguish between the physical relationship and the lifestyle along with who actually was enjoying each moment. It is also believed, in this readers opinion, that while there was a lot of depth to the plot, as a whole, there was also a need for more depth and development of not only the characters, but, also of the relationship between the two men and of all of the components as well.
One of the positive aspects of My Kind of Man, were the secondary characters. They had such a great affect upon the storyline that they had this reader eagerly reading through difficult-to-read-moments just to be able to reach that answer to that surprising and joyous twist that had me screaming out-loud at all hours of the night..
Even though there were confusing glitches, a need for more of a distinction between the men and their lifestyles, and another round through the editing process, there were many times when I had actually cheered, wept, and felt such happiness and relief for both Michael and Callum, that as a whole, had enjoyed reading My Kind of Man, and, look forward to re-visiting this genre and trope again very soon..:)

AG writes the kinkier side of M/M novels. She’s never happier than when she’s lost with the men in her head as they chatter away telling her what she should be writing. Her stories may have you cursing and crying as she makes her characters work hard for their happy ever after, but they will always get there in the end.
Most of the time AG is hanging out with JJ Harper, sharing a bottle of wine, as they work out who is going to write the next story.
