Embracing Love (Embrace Book 2)

I have read several books by this author (as well as Shaw Montgomery) and I know that I'll be rereading them far into the future. I never thought I'd enjoy M/M romance, being a heterosexual woman. But I can understand the excitement and romance that a person feels towards a man and it's arousing no matter who else finds it so. This author's books are full of wonderful characters in loving relationships that happen to have some kink to them. Whether it's puppy play, age play, ABDL, DDlb, D&S, BDSM; no matter what you call it, the storytelling is perfect. I find the writing style to support the personalities of the characters. I can particularly feel the characters that are excitable. I find myself loving their exuberance. The writing as well as the editing is perfect and I am buying as much from this author as possible. I'm so happy to have found these stories. Enjoy!

Finally there is more of Jameson, Ford and Cody, and I didn't even truly wait very long but I am so very impatient when I enjoy something. The three figuring out their relationship and each persons part in it is a fun read, with Cody and Ford so sure about what they want and where they stand, poor Jameson is all blush and embarrassment. There is little that is more hot than Ford taking charge of the two even when he doesn't plan it, he is such a natural Dom. And the dynamic when Jameson controlling Cody but submitting to Ford at the same time is something new to me and something I enjoyed reading. A story with an asexual person is new to me and it takes some getting used to but I like the care he shows and the different way he gives intimacy. And something I'd like to read more of. I was delighted when familiar names started popping up, Bryan, Maddox, Kevin, Jeremy and Ryan. Jay is the only one I could see that could compete with Cody in being open and honest about what he liked. But I look forward to reading about the Little's playdate and their Daddies in a promised story.

A beautiful follow up. Loved watching Ford, Cody and Jameson truly figure out what they want and need. It was beautifully written.

I love these three and I want more time with them. They work well together even when doubts arise. Hopefully there will be some sort stories with them. I want to see what is next for them.

I enjoyed the second book in the Embrace series and recommend reading the series. Book 2 is a continuation of book 1 and I don’t recommend reading it as a stand-alone.

This is just soooo damn good. You just want more and more and more ... absolutely impossible to put down. So sweet and hot and amazingly adorable. Love these guys.

This author comes up with the best characters. The kind you would love to have as your best friend.

Embracing Faith was a great book, and Embracing Love is a fantastic next step for the three men featured. We get to see the feelings grow even stronger between Cody and Ford, while also seeing Jameson grow more secure in his role in their relationship. Despite his asexuality, Ford's involvement in intimate moments between Cody and Jameson is perfect. His love for the other two men always shines through, and he is a wonderful caretaker to both of them. Jameson has to work out his feelings about being dominant with Cody, while also being submissive to Ford. There are moments when Jameson is almost sweetly clueless, and I just love him for that. Cody really comes into his own here. He has the Daddy and the boyfriend he wants, and he is so cute and sassy. His men are pretty much wrapped around his little finger, and it's easy to see why. There is not much angst here, which is good for these men. They're growing together as a family, and it's wonderful to see. I love each of them separately and as a unit. Seeing so many other characters I adore appear here makes me smile. I have to smile at Cody's uncomfortable interaction with Bryan (from the Pieces series), while still feeling proud of how far Bryan has come from the secretive young man he once was. I have a difficult time letting go of characters I've come to love, and I'm so glad this author feels the same. It's like seeing old friends again when they show up in books focusing on new couples - or throuples. There are several of those characters here. Cody, Jameson, and Ford are wonderful together, and this book is the mix of sweet and sexy I expect from the author. This one will make you smile, and I'm very happy to recommend it.

It was great to read the second part of these men's story. I love how they all just fit so well together. Everyone has to stretch and grow a bit but they work to make it work. I love the fact that it isn't just about Cody's needs but what each of them brings to the relationship and what they get out of. I listened to the audio version that was done well and I was able to stay in the story the whole time.

I have waited for this book and I'm not disappointed. I'm NEVER disappointed in this author! She is a delight to read. Her books are always safe sane and consensual. The three characters are so lovable in this book. I love the Daddy in Ford, the switch in Jameson, and the cute lovable character in Cody. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in ageplay!

You have to adore a Little in his Dinosaur costume who is just a tad naughty, but with each new chapter I fall more and more in love with James. I really hope we are lucky enough to get another story about this amazing triad. M.A. Innes knocks another book out of the park. Sometimes I wait for a new book and add it to my TBR for when I am in the mood, but for M.A. Innes or Shaw Montgomery I have to devour the book right then.

Good, but rambling to the point I just wanted it to end. Cody was cute. Daddy Ford was sweet, Jameson was just too over the top nervous. KU, contemporary, book in series, MMM, Daddy kink, spanking, age gap, age play, ABDL, professor, student, accountant, first time, asexual Daddy

This was the perfect way to wrap up the story with the threesome of James, Cody and Ford. I had an easier time understanding the age play than I did Ford’s take on sexuality. That was a first for me. What a beautiful work it would be if everyone was as accepting as the characters in these series.

This was an amazing follow up to Embracing Faith...Ford is just amazing as Cody's Daddy and how he takes to Jameson too....Jameson is slowly opening up and becoming better with the whole Daddy/boy Ford and Cody have and Cody is just adorable...Another great book from this author x

OMG, this continued journey of Cody, Ford and Jameson laughter until tears ran down my face! And you have to love the cameo visits of Connor, Bryan and Kevin! These men made the five-star rating an easy judgment. Highly recommend you put this book on your tbr list!

I enjoyed this sequel. I was a little lost with some of the characters I have read a lot of your books but not all. I really liked these characters and the story was great. I am glad that Cody Ford and James realizes to make it work they needed it be together.

Little genius Cody, Daddy Ford, and Switch Jameson formed a super sweet and beautiful poly relationship. Both books are low on angst, but still have great character development and so many feels.

This book is amazing. I love Cody’s character so so much and I need to know more about these amazing men. I love when authors create memorable and interesting characters and relationships just like this one.

My favorite part was the scene at the club with all three of them there. I'm horrible at reviews, but I can't help but say that I love the characters this author weaves.

This was a great follow-up to the first book. I loved the dynamic of this triad and how they all fit together wonderfully. Cody is certainly one lucky boy! Another great book by this author.

So much info and wonderfully sweet characters. Heat, love and smiles abound in this well written storyline. By the time I finished these books I was totally immersed and in love. Both are must read books.

Book 2 sees the relationship between Ford, Cody and Jameson grow and flourish in their relationships as couples and a throuple wirh further exploration of the Daddy, Dom and submission between them all!

Sex scenes were lukewarm, could have been steamier, nice scene setup but the sentiment was lost due disconnect of the description

I love how the author brings other characters from prior stories to incorporate them into new stories with new characters. Loved 100% must read.

This is MA Innes’ sequel to Embracing Faith, and it continues all of the love and passion that was developing in the first book and just intensifies it as their relationship grows and they become closer together. This book takes place in the same college town as the Too Close series, Pieces series, Unconditional Love series, and Rethinking Fate, and I love the wonderful, accepting, supportive atmosphere Innes has created in this town. I wish I could live there! Some of the characters in those books make brief appearances in this book, which is a big bonus for long-time fans of her books. And Cody, the sub in this book, reminds me a lot of Cooper, a super-fun character in the Accidental Master series who is very popular with readers. He has the same confidence and bubbly charm as Cooper, and it’s so much fun seeing Cody wrap his two Doms around his finger. This ageplay book is ABDL, and I really loved Ford’s frank talk with Jameson explaining about littles and the aspects of submission and control involved with using diapers, and the feelings of trust and closeness that develop. The way that Ford mentors Jameson in learning about D/s relationships and facilitates and intensifies Cody and Jameson’s sexual relationship just by being there was beautiful to read about. And very hot! As I mentioned in my review for the first book, I was hesitant to read a book with an asexual character, but seeing the strong caretaking side he has and the control he enjoys exerting, it didn’t feel like anything was missing in his storyline just because he wasn’t interested in the sexual aspect of things for himself. There are many returning side characters that I mentioned earlier, but Cody’s mother is a new side character and she’s hilarious. I hope we get to see her again in future books about this triad. And Ms. Innes ends the book with one of my favorite kinks, so that was a pleasure too! I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to read more about these guys.

It was wonderful reading 'Embracing Faith' and being able to start right in with it's continuation in this book, 'Embracing Love.' Cody, Jamison, and Ford are still trying to figure out their relationship. James has the most to accept in understanding what a daddy is and how Cody needs down time. To Cody it's a way of closing down his mind, to return to simple pleasures, to give control over for his decisions, to return to his childhood. The only thing I wondered about is why Cody's mom didn't feel regret over her impact in his childhood. He never was a normal child, doing normal childhood things. He was always the child genius, seeking learning, and feeding his mind. MA Innes does an excellent job on Cody's character. Not just how he presents himself with love, energy, adaptability, and self acceptance. He runs with each concept, embraces it fully, and has little patience for those that don't. He won't accept his age group, their close minded daddy/little acquaintances -- Can't understand them for not being 'out' with their age play. What fun contrasts between them. This is such a sweet story, these three men, their lives, and how they come together in their love of Cody. As they interact and find common ground they become so much more. The journey is amazing. They work together to settle any problems. The way they read body language, when stress is high, know when nervousness is taking over, solving it with hugs, words, and support -- Simply wonderful. I hate to see them go and I hope as they move into their custom built house and discover the joys of homeownership that we'll see more of them. I had the feeling Cody would be leading his men off into the world and further discoveries because at some point that small town/area will run out of discoveries. They need to take trips and explore the world, visit those historical sites first hand, experience life outside their little small town, but always come home. That is the future I picture for them, with Cody excited and chatty, holding Jamison's hand and Ford being the voice of reason. Another book, please? Read on Kindle Unlimited -- HIGHLY recommended story and series. -- Dan's Wife

This book continues the story of Ford, Jameson and Cody.. All three men doing their best to make it work and make each other happy, "Our unconventional group wasn't what James would have imagined he'd needed, but we were perfect for him. Cody and I just had to make James see it too. I liked that we got to see each mans perspective of the relationship as they move along. They have a unique dynamic, all working together to make each other happy. "We were all so different, but somehow those differences only made things sweeter." Ford and Jameson are getting to know each other outside of their relationship with Cody. It was great to see them all helping each other, easing each others fears as well as pushing their comfort levels a little. James becoming more comfortable with the dynamics between them. "They were weird. And not like genius who likes to dress up in a dinosaur costume weird. My kind if weird was fabulous. They were just the regular kind of weird who were hiding something." I loved watching them move forward. For a throuple that includes an asexual man, they were explosive together. So prefect for each other. "Are you sure you've thought this through?" "No." There was no point in lying about that. "Honestly, I've been mostly going by the seat-of-my-pants method. It seems to work better than planning out life." It was fantastic to see their relationship and love growing and evolving. I especially love how the author catches us up with so many old friends.

This was an amazing continuation of Embracing Faith. I'm not sure how she did it but somehow MA. Innes made a throuple with an asexual character not only work but flourish. I really appreciate the explanations provided for Ford's asexuality. I now feel like I have a deeper understanding of what it means to be asexual. Also in this book, like the last, I adore Cody and his enthusiasm for being little. I'm also crazy amazed at how well Jameson takes everything in stride. All in all I really enjoyed these three men and seeing how they made such an unconventional relationship work for them. I'm so happy with their story.
