This is the story of Chloe, a young woman who has suffered a traumatic childhood, and Bradley, the man who commits to helping Chloe face and beat her demons. This was an interesting look at age play since it took a more psychological approach to it which I found really interesting to read. I wasn’t a fan of the ending though, which I found overly abrupt and made me feel like there was another chapter which was left off.
Bradley takes the time to both research and get reassurances from Chloe’s therapist. He doesn’t have a know it all attitude. I also like that he is willing to put in the work. As the story progresses you get to see how strong Chloe really is and how much the support of Bradley really means to her.
The storyline was well written and the characters were so strongly written that I was totally infatuated with them as they worked out their problems!
But sometimes old wrongs can sour things. Our hero plans to help our heroine overcome her fears through age play.
Age play is another form of BDSM and one that our author tends to write about a lot. Which is a good thing as she has shown a firm grasp of the genre and always writes a good story. This one is no exception to that, but it is a bit different from others that I have read. Most of the age play stories I have read involve the sub at one age, while this one involves twelve different ages. Also, the others tend to focus on couples newly discovering age play and BDSM, while this one is a well established couple.
But this is all to the good as it sets it apart somewhat from the rest and the good parts, a solid story line and a solid loving couple, are still present. Expect to see some sex, some discipline and lots of D/S, age play style.
Highly recommended.

Holidays are hard, even for me, but for Chloe it is traumatizing. I could even chalk it up to PTSD. Christmas Baby by Katie Douglas is a story about Chloe, who grew up with a rough childhood. She cannot be around anything that brings back memories of her childhood without going into a panic attack. She has lived years sheltering herself to survive. Hooking up with Bradley has been nice for a while but now he wants to be her full-time Dom. To be that, however, he needs to understand Chloe and what makes her tic.
She has been going to the doctor weekly and he is not seeing any progress so, he does what any Dom would do. He searches out a new method to help, age play between a Dom and a submissive. I will admit, I am all for a Dom being an Alpha and taking control but, the whole actual bottle feeding, diaper, baby food is a tad too much, for me. However, for this book and for the treatment that Chloe needs I kind of understand. Heck, most of the time I forgot she was a 20 something-year-old woman and not a 4-year-old child. And for Bradley to go to the extreme he did for Chloe tugs on the heartstrings.
Will I read another age play book? Probably not, but the writing was good. It had me convinced at times Chloe was a grown woman The whole idea of the book is good. I can see the process of the therapy in this for a situation like Chloe is in.
A fantastic, captivating, heart pounding, erotic, and soul healing story of abuse, and neglect during the Christmas season. Chloe is a submissive that has been dealing with emotional abuse from childhood and Bradley is Chloe’s romantic dominate who has decided to use taboo and unconventional ways to help her heal from her traumatic past. This was a great, erotic yet tender and romantic story. The characters were lovable and wonderful. I loved this story about a young woman who pretends to go from an infant to a little girl in order to heal from a traumatic childhood. Readers will laugh and cry during the story.

This is a well written story that surprised me with the theme. A woman has big trouble with christmas because of her childhood. Her dom wants to help her to get better experiences. Can he change her christmas to something happy?
Nice chemistry, passion and likeable characters that develops well through the story. A nice and enjoyable read that I only can recommend to others.
Chloe had a hard childhood when she was growing up and this caused some problems for her with her Daddy Dom. Bradley is Chloe’s Daddy Dom and wants her to be happy and secure in what they have so he decides to recreate times in her childhood to make new memories. The twelve days before Christmas is about making better memories for Chloe from the age of one to twelve. Will Bradley be successful in his plans to help Chloe?
This is a great story and once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is sensually sweet. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover that enjoys this genre.

A quick read that is well-written and I enjoyed reading. Chloe’s Dom Bradley plans to have her roll- play from a baby to preteen to give her the Christmas’ she never had as a child. A cute story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Chloe had a really bad childhood and gets extremely upset around Christmas. To help her work thru her issues, Bradley, her dom gets her to agree to 12 days of progressive ageplay. You see Chloe come to grips with her past with the help of her loving dom.
This story has age playing scenes, lots of them, so if it is not your kind of reading, do not start.
That being said, the story is very sweet: a dom that goes all the way to try and solve his submissive problems. Very good.

This is an AP story. The daddy Dom in this book is a very caring man. The characters are well thought out and have a great chemistry between them. I enjoyed this book.

I enjoy Katie Douglas’ writing and this AP book is a good example of why. This story has the tenderness of a caring Daddy Dom; the playful, insecure and traumatized (woman) little girl; and the circumstances that bring them to the 12 days of Christmas, AP style. It’s a nice departure from most AP books I’ve read since this one explores 12 different regression ages. I was able to really feel the little as she progressed to each level. The actions of a 3-year old are much different than a baby who cannot do anything for itself. The DD here is a caring man who has been this woman’s Dom for awhile and she has learned to trust him in many ways. This regression involves as much trust as the knife play, e-stim and other potentially dangerous BDSM acts that this couple has done. The love between them is displayed by their actions and the relationship, while unusual, is caring; a most enviable quality.
I highly recommend this book and this author. It’s a great journey of love and healing, AP style.
