Jared's Fulfillment (Jared & Kieran Book 2)

Before I go into a fangirling rant, I have to be honest here. I'm a little perturbed with this. And it's for no other reason than because I know I'm going to be comparing almost all the daddy/ boy books I read from here on out to this. That's not fair to me, it's not fair to future books. How dare you Riley Hart, how dare you write something so beautiful!And that's exactly what this story is, beautiful. It's beautiful and heart-wrenching and just oh so good. I'm hesitant to call it angsty because that feels a little cheap for the emotions this book invokes. But it definitely has its moments where where I was clutching my chest in pain. I got a little too invested and I have no shame in that.....the struggle is real here because I'm at a genuine loss for words. I feel emotionally spent then the best way possible because this, for me, is a perfect romance. This is what I long for in my romances. I want to see my character grow both within themselves and together, I want to see them struggle and come out stronger. And I want to see them together and happy and you get all that here and so much more.You have Jared who you just immediately fall in love with because he's flushed out and feels the real. Then you have Kieran who is just the swooniest of swoony daddies ever! I love that we actually got a little bit of his perspective in this book because she's much more than just Jared's daddy and I really enjoyed learning more about him and seeing him. They are so beautiful and wonderful together. You can feel their love for one another dripping from the pages. And it's romantic love this time which shouldn't be a spoiler, I feel like we all saw that coming. There are genuinely some super cute couple moments between them and plenty of smut. Which reminds me, ooo child do we gotta talk about the smut.I know that the undisclosed desires series has been defined as erotica by Riley Hart and oh boy was she not kidding. This is 100% a romance but...they do it a lot. On page! Now don't get me wrong, I was living for this. Hot smut, quality dirty talk that could make a lizard sweat, safe sane consensual risk-aware kink and mama that's my church! These words my congregation so you better believe I was right at home. But for someone who's never step inside these doors, this may be a lot.It's kinky and it's written by someone who knows about kink, that much is obvious. Everything is done well and with respect. And while I still think this is a digestible form of daddy/ boy the kinkiness of all make it to some people. If you've read the first book and liked it you'll be chill but I do have to put in that little warning. I don't want the wrong people to read this, get distracted by the kink and then give it one or two stars because that's not okay.I also want to add that there's some pretty heavy subject matter in this book that I'm not going to get into because it's a massive spoiler. Just know it's handled well and with respect and care. Again, if you've read the first book you could probably figure it out. I know I did right off the bat so I wasn't shocked, but it is heavy so just bear in mind. It's also not used as a cheap plot device which I extra respect.I know this book came out a while ago and it's only March, but this will probably be my favorite book this year. It's easily my favorite duet of all time and if you love quality characters with awesome friendships (absolutely adore Marco and Joseph), dope kink, it could be yours too. I'm not even exaggerating when I say 20 stars because five is just not enough for a book that has completely and utterly ruined me. Thank God she's got a massive backlist right.

Riley Hart has written two of her most brilliant, beautiful books with Jared's Evolution and Jared's Fulfillment.I've read them again and again and never cease to amaze me. They're not only a wonderful love story but also an education (as it were) in BDSM and all the nuances of D/s relations and Daddy/boy relations. These books are utterly moving and honest and I wish Riley Hart would write more in this vein. Ten stars out of five.

“How did I survive without you?”The truth was, that’s all either of us had done without each other—survived. Now, we lived.First let me say that this is not a story for every reader, just like BDSM is not something every person understands or participates in. But what we can do as readers is be understanding, become more knowledgeable and push ourselves outside of our comfort zones at times and see that what may not be right for some is right for others. It is what makes us each unique. Nothing should be wrong that feels right.Riley Hart as an author went there with Jared and Kieran’s journey. And after reading her note to her Readers at the beginning of this book, I gained even more respect for her as an author. She took on something so different from anything else she had ever written. She stepped outside of the normal MM Romance parameters or broke a few “romance rules”, as she states, and that takes such strength to do so.“I followed my heart in this book. I stayed true to how the story came to me, no matter where it took me. Love is a universal emotion but there are no rules to it either. No matter how many people experience it, no one experiences it that same. As long as it’s consensual and between adults there’s no wrong way to love. This is their way.” – Riley HartWhat transpires within these pages is quite beautiful. It is a journey. It is discovery. And while some acts in this story are still so outside of my realm of understanding and comfort zone, Riley did so with a commitment to these characters and what they needed.I am not about to spoil anything about this journey…it is one that should you choose to take on, do so with an open mind…with love and understanding. In the end, I think you too will fall in love with these amazing men and their story.I do desperately want more in this series and hope that we eventually get more of Marco and as Dana suggested on FB, perhaps Charlie’s story as well.

With the continuing of Jared and Kieran's story their relationship grows, through the struggles they both have. Kieran unable to accept his love for Jared and the time stamp that was set on their agreement pushes forth quickly.I felt their connection fully in the first book, Jared's insecurity and Kieran's patience cemented them for me, and it dug in deep. And though they become more settled in this, it didn't hit as hard as the first.This book felt a bit too long, it dragged on at the start before their end eventually came. But I loved Jared's new confidence, that he was able to stand up for himself, even against Kieran.And with it, he is able to voice what he needs when they find together again, I liked the development beyond Daddy and boy as Jared's need for submission grows.It's all about care, no matter what they explore and that is what makes the book. How they take care of each other in their own way.

This is such a wonderful book and series. The mixture of feelings it has stirred in me has left me speechless. Thank you Riley Hart for writing this story!

I've been waiting for this one.....Getting back to Keiran and Jared was just perfect.....But omg some parts in this broke me heart for Jared and Keiran too......Keiran's past is heartbreaking.....But he is the perfect Daddy for Jared, the way he looks after him, the way he cares for him, the way he hurts him.....Their relationship just grows and grows, and once they get over their hiccup it grows even more.....Considering this isn't Riley Hart's usual type of book I think she has done the BDSM community proud with this....I hope she'll consider doing another sometime as she really does have an amazing gift.....I will definitely be re-reading this and it will definitely be going on my bookshelf in paperback x
