In a perfect world, Lucas West would meet someone in one of the BDSM communities he was active in, someone who ached for a Daddy Dom as much as Lucas longed for a Little to care for. They would date, play, build something that was just for them, and share a future together. In a perfect world, Colt Carter would get through his next deployment and then move closer to DC where he could create at … create at least a semblance of a personal life. He wanted something outside of the Air Force, something kinky, something worth leaving everything behind for eventually. For years, he’d kept his inner Sadist and Daddy Dom locked up, only letting him out to play on rare occasions.
In a perfect world…
In reality, Lucas and Colt met each other.
Top Priority is the first novella in The Game Series, a BDSM series where romance meets the reality of kink. Sometimes we fall for someone we don’t match with, sometimes vanilla business gets in the way of kinky pleasure, and sometimes we have to compromise and push ourselves to overcome trauma and insecurities. No matter what, two things are certain. This is not a perfect world, and life never turns out the way you planned.

A broken down car in the middle of a horrendous rain storm leads to the start of an imperfect relationship. Lucas West & Colt Carter are the the definition of a mismatched couple. A pair of Daddy Doms drawn to each other. Lucas & Colt spend an intense 24 hours together, then Air Force pilot Colt is deployed. How does a relationship grow when one of you is thousands of miles away?
You would think this book would be full of angst and conflict with 2 Daddy’s, the opposite is true. Their openness is refreshing and the story one of positivity.
Top Priority is the start, the beginning of a bigger story of a shared future & deep unbreakable love.
Cara Dee has outdone herself on this! How she manages to create realistic, beautiful and passionate relationships is beyond me but thank goodness she does! This one was out of the park.
The character development in this book is phenomenal. I ached for them. I ached for each character and I watched from the sidelines crying at times, laughing at times and definitely needing a cold drink from their chemistry! Cara shows exactly how two people who shouldn’t work together fits together in the most beautiful way. World building was intricate and vivid, it pulled me right in.
The storyline had all the feels. I devoured every word – twice – because I had to reread it right away. I didn’t want it to end. I needed them in my life. There’s so much there that although it’s a novella it feels like much more. It has the complexity I need when reading and the magic Cara Dee weaves is impossible to beat. I can’t wait for book 2!
5 stars for a sizzling and beautiful read!
As impossible as it sounds, this is a kinky book… without kink. Colt and Lucas aren’t supposed to work… but they do. This is a steamy, romantic, fast-paced one-of-a-kind love story, with a healthy dose of MM action, like only Cara Dee can write them. And the fact that it is a prequel to the long-awaited Their boy only makes it a sweeter read.
This was a great start to a new series! I am so looking forward to more of Luke and Colt on their journey to find their boy. This was a short book, but really packed a punch. We watch Colt and Luke first meet, have Insta attraction, deal with time apart and fall in love along the way. There was no kink in this book, this book was about falling in love, despite being too similar. It was romantic, touching and really sweet. I am sure the future books in the series will be where we start seeing more of their kinky sides as they meet their boy…cannot wait!!!!
I was honestly expecting something else from this story. The story promises two daddy doms who fall for each other. This book definitely had this and I enjoyed their story. This story also promised a shared interest in littles. In every other story I’ve read where daddy dooms were involved with little age play was definitely a factor. This book however it seems any sub was referred to as a little and any dom was a daddy. So I felt let down by that and wish the author would have come up with better ways than daddy and littles. However the story itself once I realized what type of kink was being approached was wonderful. I loved the instalove going on and the two main characters who were able to be together and not be torn apart despite distance and shared interests. Towards the end they introduced a boy who will come and join them. Kit, who seems to have an interesting story and will be a perfect third who will make them whole. Understanding this to be a more typical bdsm story this series has a lot of potential and I’m dying for book 2. This review is my own opinions from an arc.
We really enjoyed this novella instant love/lust, loved the twist with two Daddy Doms falling for one another and wondering how things will all play out. Loved the chemistry between Colt & Lucas, it was instant and no denying sparks flew from the moment they met.
Colt, a military man and Lucas is one man holding more than one iron in the fire trying to figure out his life when car trouble lands him in the proximity of Colt, a military pilot who is straight up kinky and all alpha.
We loved the story and loved how it all played out. We felt the emotions of this couple while they worked through their fears on how they this type of relationship could work, especially when each needed to be a dominated partner.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read. Some may have felt that Lucas was not Daddy DOM or Tippy Top DOM material but, for us, we think Lucas allowed himself to be in a role reversal type situation because we believe he was in the mist of finding himself and in that time and place it was exactly what Colt needed but, living at the moment may not work long term unless there is a give and take situation that works for both of them.
The wants what the heart wants…
Loved this couple and their story. Can’t wait to read more. Hurry up book 2.
Lucas and Colt’s story was well written. As a big believer in Instalove, I found them a realistic couple. They only had 24hrs together but that was enough for each to know they could be more. The heart wants what the heart wants. We don’t get a say in that.
The epilogues (yes there’s two) are a great tease for the next book in the series.
„Colt was too much. Funny, conceited, intoxicating, sexy, sweet….And caring.“
„„You, Colt, are a fighter pilot…in every sense of the word. You´re the war hero who gets a book deal one day to write your memories. You put everything on the line, and I´m…I´m-„
„You´re the one we come home to.““
Two kinky Tops fall in love – so so HOT!!!
This was not what I expected.
This is the story of Luke and Colt.
Two Daddy Doms, who meet accidentally while being stuck in a storm.
Lucas on his way back to DC and Colt, the F16 fighter pilot, on his way in the opposite direction, meeting his parents before he´s leaving for his next deployment in Iraq.
„Colt was too much. Funny, conceited, intoxicating, sexy, sweet….And caring.“
Two worlds collide.
Sparks fly.
Instant attraction.
One hot night and one day, spend much the same.
Then they must part ways.
„„You, Colt, are a fighter pilot…in every sense of the word. You´re the war hero who gets a book deal one day to write your memories. You put everything on the line, and I´m…I´m-„
„You´re the one we come home to.““
What a great story, I loved them both, Lucas and Colt, in an instant. Can´t wait for the following book and meeting “Their Boy”
I really loved the setting of this book It reminded of the movie “Before Sunrise”. Two people meeting randomly while they are away from home. They have incredible chemistry and connect instantly and even though they barely know each other they can’t help feeling like they’ve found something real that they don’t want to let go. The descriptions were amazing I felt like I was actually watching a movie and Lucas and Colt were beautiful together! I loved how they teased each other and challenged each other. I really really loved it Brilliant start to the series!
ENDEARING…
Everything Cara Dee writes is so special.
This is a love story of two Daddy Doms unexpectedly falling for each other.
I thought it was a recipe for disaster. How could that work? We’ll the depth of the love they have for each other just might.
But that little they each need… I can’t wait to continue their journey in the search for what they both need to fill the void of their kink. That 3rd… sigh
Steamy short story about two Daddy Doms which should never really work. But attraction, lust and love sometimes has other plans and rolling with it can lead to a beautiful life.
This is my first book by Dee and Wowwwwww. I am OBSESSED. I had so many emotions throughout this story and I am so glad that, while it is fiction, it is very relatable to the real world and the people in it can’t wait to see what happens next!
Cara Dee
I loved this book and all of Cara Dee’s work. Main characters are real estate/ marketing worker Lucas and Air Force Fighter pilot Colt. They have instant chemistry and match is all areas. They have to wait for their time together to evolve. Love Love Love them. Even though they are perfect together they know there may be room for another. I can’t wait to start book 2.
An Unexpected Gem
I did not know what to expect when I started this book, but I was instantly charmed by Colt and Luke and their relationship. Cara wrote two Daddy Dons who share the same interests, yet are each their own and unique person. Plus, these were some of the best and yummiest sex scenes I’ve had the pleasure of reading. I loved this book and I’m so excited to start the next book in the series.
4.5 Stars – A perfect little read.
Man, I really liked those guys. I also liked the easy-going way of the story and Luke’s funny thought processes. Though in the beginning, the writing took some getting used to because I just didn’t expect it to be like that. Not that it was bad, but it felt like being in Luke’s head instead of being an outsider looking in. I don’t know how else to describe it.
There were some sexy and very hot scenes but I actually expected more, especially kink wise because there was none. But although the kink would have been the cherry on the cake, I really liked the story a lot as it was.
Somehow it all worked so perfectly together, whereas it wouldn’t have with a MF romance. I usually want more, well, I do want more but with MF romances I feel like I’m more picky when it comes to short stories because they tend to leave out too much, but this one was pretty spot on. (apart from the lack of kink)
It’s definitely a very good, quick and short read about two lovely, hot and kinky Doms. Who would have thought they could be so cute with each other?! =P
I absolutely loved their dynamic! The story was so short but the characters were so loveable they buried themselves deep into my heart.
I can’t wait to read the next book. Honestly, this book felt a bit like the separate stories from the Touch series (which was my first read by this author), which were great separately but so much more perfect brought together. So I think this book combined with the second book will be a lot better than both of them separate. (Though you can surely read this book as a standalone)
Luke and Colt met at a bar when a storm had them stranded in a town on their way home. Never would they have imagined to find so much more than just shelter from the rain. But they had such similar tastes that it made it difficult for them to fully live out their lifestyle with each other. Could that ever be enough?
OMG Top Priority was freaking HOT!
Lucas and Colt have an instant connection with incredible chemistry. One hot and steamy night leaves them with both an strong and crazy connection, with both of them wanting more.
Perfect prelude for The Game series and I am soooo freaking excited to read Their Boy and see these two Daddy Doms get their Little and complete what they are missing.
Instant book hangover!
Um, hi. Yeah. HELLO. You are officially one of my favorite books this year!
I didn’t want Cara Dee’s Top Priority to end. Colt and Lucas just gave me sparks upon sparks upon sparks. Two Daddy Dom tops falling in love? I’m so here for it.
Lucas and Colt meet one night and get to talking and laughing and bonding, and even though they know they can’t fully satisfy the other, they can’t resist having one night together. But what happens when one night isn’t enough?
It ain’t about recognizing danger. It’s about what you do once you know it’s there.
This book left me wrecked. The yearning and longing and the witty dialogue and the heartfelt punches…this book left me wallowing in all the feels, and I loved it. Colt’s cocky and so funny, and Lucas meets him word-for-word and move-for-move.
I said I’d put together a full coherent review, but this is it. Read it. Read this book, and then read it again. You’ll fall in love, and it’ll be great. May the wait for book two be short!
5 Longing for More Stars!
I really enjoyed reading this great, smoking hot, poignant, and totally awesome story, and can’t wait to see what happens next.
I loved this novella, despite it being an instalove story, which is not precisely my favorite trope. It was a great introduction to Lucas and Colt’s characters which suggests this is going to be a very promising new series.
Wow … WOW! Every time I see a Cara Dee book, no matter what it is, I know it’s going to blow my mind. I stopped everything to read this book as soon as it was out. Like with any Cara book, everything about the book just draws you in. The characters. The chemistry. The romance. The story. I was expecting this book to be scorching (and it more than delivers on that end), but it’s also incredibly romantic. I was so emotional (in a good way) watching these two men fall in love and build a life together, especially when their relationship is long distance. Their love is a strong foundation and a great lead into the rest of the story as this series continues.
My one complaint – it was too short! I want more!! Thankfully, there’s a second book coming out soon and I can’t wait to read it.
