Matt has also learned that dominance does not just mean bossing Petey around, but that sex between them can be tender and reciprocal, as well as having assigned roles. This growth and development in the relationship between the heroes has been by far the best part of reading this series and ultimately the most satisfying part of the story arc as a whole.
This meant that the ending was just far, far too sweet for me. The fact that by the end, no shadow of that remains on Petey and Matt meant that the book had far too much of a fairy-tale end for me to find it realistic. Those readers who love sweet sugary endings are going to love the way that the book ends, but I would have liked a bit most spice with my sugar.
Despite my feelings about the end, this book and as an extension the series as a whole is definitely worth reading.

You know the idiom "You can't judge a book by its cover"? Well I find that to be true most of the time. I'll admit I bought the Puppy Love books for two reasons: Jeff Erno and pretty covers. There's a passionate conversation at the end of the tune between two people. How can you have your pudding if you don't eat your meat? I got sucked in by familiarity of an author's story telling and pretty pictures. What I found was that these three books are really just one long book. It's not fair to judge the book s until you finish the whole story.
So why only three stars? BDSM just isn't my thing. And because of that I struggled with some of the pages. Book one was the said meat in "Another Brick I had to endure what I perceived as degrading acts committed between people. I didn't like Matt or Alex. I liked Drew and wanted to rescue Petey, who I adored. Book two gave me another taste of how cruel Matt could be.
The a little get together in a motel room after a party was just painful. But as I turned the pages I saw everybody maturing. Matt and Petey are only 19!!!
Through trial and error, heavy on the error, Matt became a better person. Not perfect, but better. And finally after eating my meat and some mushy veggies I finally got to have my pudding. The love story that was between the words at times. I still don't "get" why someone wants a dungeon in their basement, but I found that I read every word in that scene. I also learned about the tragic childhood of another character that helps the reader forgive his actions; and they were heinous.
It's 1, pages you'll commit to if you take on this series. Just think of the pretty pictures when eating your meat. One person found this helpful. Feb 02, Graeme rated it really liked it. I'm writing this review for the whole series instead of just book 3. The reason I'm writing the review for the whole series as Puppy Love is essentially one big book.
Jeff Erno has written the story to where the plot structure continues through the whole series instead of every book having an individual plot structure. Book 1 is exposition and rising action. Book 2 is entirely rising action. The s I'm writing this review for the whole series instead of just book 3. The story doesn't climax until Book 3.
It is very important to know this as you won't find enjoyment in Puppy Love unless you finish the entire series. Character likability is extremely important to me when reading books and I hated, hated, hated Matt. Petey, while not as unlikable as Matt, was also annoying and not very likable in this book. Matt is probably the biggest asshole of any main character I've read in any book in Puppy Love 1.
He is extremely manipulative of Petey's naivety and innocence. Petey is much more humble but also an enormous crybaby with no backbone. And when I mean crybaby I mean that literally, it seems like he was crying for something every 5 pages. I really didn't like how he just let Matt walk all over him. The sub should have at least some kind of autonomy and rules for the relationship. While I don't have a huge understanding of BDSM relationships, I could never find a decent reason for it to be okay for Matt to be with another person yet alone a girl throughout the novel.
He manipulated Petey into staying with him even though he had a running relationship with Tracy. Also, I didn't like Drew telling Petey it is okay for a master to be with other people without their consent. Not, not, not, okay.
Since I didn't understand the plot structure of the series when I first started reading Puppy Love, I stopped reading for several months after I finished Book 1 since I felt the book had a mediocre and unfinished ending. I also just plain didn't like it. It was out of shear curiosity that I picked up Book 2. It was better than the first book for sure. I don't have too much to say about Book 2 as it was all rising action but there was much more plot getting added into the series and less sex. The events that happened in Book 2 is what led me to decide to finish the series, and that was character development.
Matt and Petey both begin to mature in this book. I'll explain more in the review of Book 3. Book 3 was an absolutely great read! Book 3 is what makes the Puppy Love series a Gay Romance classic and not a mediocre series that leaves readers with a bitter taste in their mouths. Book 3 contains the climax and really shows the evolution of Matt and Petey's characters. Matt grows from being an absolute prick of a teenager with no sense of responsibility and consideration for the feelings of others into a passionate young man who finds true love and devotion for Petey.
Petey grows from being a insecure, needy, crybaby with no backbone to a confident sub and lover who knows his needs and limits and can not only stand up to Matt but protect him. Book 3 is the book that you can look forward to if you're able to persevere through Book 1. It ties a very nice ribbon on the series. While it has an unorthodox plot structure, I can assure you it is worth your while to pick up Book 2 and keep going. Feb 14, Elisa Rolle added it. The first thing I noticed was the strange contrast between the familiarity I had with these characters and indeed the short span their story lasted in total: They have gone through so much, and experienced even more, that it seemed impossible to me that they were indeed still teenager.
Petey has probably had to grow before his age when he lost both his parents, even if he has an older sister, he is pretty much without a strong leading, and he found that leader in Matt. Matt is absolutely not a fatherly figure, above all since he is the same age as Petey, and also since, according to me, Matt is also a bit selfish. He is good for Petey, no doubt in that, but I think he has first of all himself in mind and then Petey; as soon as Petey agrees with him, and with his choices, Matt is the best of the boyfriends, but if Petey has his own opinion, than Matt reacts like the spoiled child he his.
There was maybe a bit too much of pink glasses perspective, above all in the fact that everyone, really everyone, in the end had an happily ever after, and that was something that really had me realized these were almost all teenagers and so probably real life had still to touch them; and the hope is that, if it will reach them in the future, it will be clement with all of them. If you have read the previous two books, I think the third volume is a must; if not, I think you can probably read book 3 without too much problem, and maybe for who is particularly impressionable, reading only book 3 can be a solution in book 1 and 2 the sex is really out of ordinary and there is also a bit of violence in book 2.
Jan 13, Danny Tyran rated it it was amazing Shelves: I can say that I have not been disappointed with this series. All three books are excellent. We clearly see the evolution of the characters, especially the MCs. There is suspense too. So the novel sustains our attention and we want to know what will happen next.

For those who know me a little better, you might be surprised to learn that there is not a great deal of BDSM scenes in these three books. Some reviewers have been shocked by some of the BDSM scenes. They have found it "extreme". I can tell that they have never read Humiliator or Christopher Enslaved.
I suggest them to read these two books and come back. I am sure that they will adjust their point of view and their reviews. Bran and Petey have something in common. But the Puppy Love series is even better. I understand that some people hate Matt, at least as he is in the first book, because of his selfishness, but this is one of the things that the author tries to make us understand: Being dominant does not mean being heartless and selfish. I'd like to see in a sequel the two MCs interraction with Jason. Jason, who Matt describes as his pain slut, may come to want a little more than just casual encounters with his new master Matt and become jealous of Petey.
They have had problems with someone feeling rejected already. How would they deal with it this time? That is just a suggestion because I love all these characters and this series, and I am sad that it is already finished. Oct 22, Maggie Simms rated it it was amazing Shelves: This review is for all three books: I identified myself so much with Jeff's characters, that I am now wondering if I am a gay man trapped in a woman's body. How is that for connecting with the characters??
They are in my favorite book list of all time. I laughed outloud with some of the conversations. I never thought that an erotica b This review is for all three books: I never thought that an erotica book would make me cry, since I am quite jaded to most storylines, but I sure did with this series. The drama is awesome, the scenes are steamy HOT, and the storyline as a whole makes you want to submit as well.

God, Petey has such a great heart, so full of love and capable of forgiveness. I could not believe how wonderfully he handled the whole Ryan situation. I had mixed feelings about Matt in the first book there was a point where I plainly resented him for his 'escapades' blatantly disregarding Petey's feelings but the author was masterful showing his development and transformation.
By the end of the series, he was a completely different person, a better version of himself and all because of our sweet Petey who loves him unconditionally. It took me a while to warm up to Alex. As a matter of fact, I was not sure about him until after 'the incident' with Drew in the third book but he came around at the end. Last but not least, the submission of Petey was achieved without the need of canes and whips. I find spanking sexy but all the heavy beating that usually accompanies these books not so much. Can we please have a fourth book??? I can't get enough of these four characters.
Feb 10, blub rated it really liked it. I'm really glad I finished this series and did not give it up after reading book 1.
It was a hard read for sure and I had a lot of conflicting opinions when reading them. But after book 1 it just got better and better.
I thought it was okay when they brought in Drew since Alex was around.

Of course I think the reason I had issues with it is because it clashed with my perspective of monogamy. Sep 04, Amber rated it it was amazing. When I finally got around to reading the last book, I was very happy with the ending. It's really sweet and I think a great way to end it. Petey and Drew are so cute!!

I think theyre soul mates. Drew and Petey go through so much in this book. And Matt's mom, is so sweet. Let me just say, Drew is still my all time character in all three books.
