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.

An amazing beginning to The Game series. Top Priority is a novella which introduced Daddy Doms Luke and Colt, and it also set the stage for a new BDSM world. This sweet and heartfelt story focused more on Luke and Colt’s attraction and romance than the kink that they were both into. It’s about falling in love with the person that we are least expected because they are too similar. We saw Colt’s dominant side but didn’t see Luke in his element much. There was no cliff-hanger but the epilogue was a prelude to the next book in the series. I adored the couple’s dynamics and I was smitten by their solid relationship. They were happy at this moment, but I cannot wait to see their true HEA in Their Boy.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I loved it so much, I read it twice!
I loved how these 2 daddies had such an undeniable connection that they decided to try a relationship, even though they were both Doms.
Two completely different men. Both Tops, and a chance meeting in a small town diner while waiting out a storm. They talk and laugh, and get to know each other. Their chemistry is instant and they have similar tastes in the world of kink. This novella was perfect but left me wanting more of Lucas (pretty boy) and Colt. Cara did an amazing job. Needless to say, I’m chomping at the bit for book 2 when they meet their boy Kit. This is a must-read!
I received an ARC copy for an honest review.
Colt and Lucas 2 men in search for the right person who can complete their needs. I definitely enjoyed the interaction between the main characters. The emotions and reactions these 2 men experience with each other is truly beautiful and raw, real. I definitely can’t wait to read more book by Cara this book is m/m genre with a hint of kink.
Honestly, i dont know how to put into words how much i love this book.
theres few authors that as soon as they post a new book i read it, but Cara is one of those authors
The story of Lucas and Colt is just so beautifully written, and the character development of both characters, separately and of their relationship is just so well done, and just shows we don’t always end up with who we think we’re going to, sometimes most the unexpected person is actually the right fit.
i didnt want it to end, i just wanted more and to keep reading.
If your unsure about reading this, Id highly recommend giving it a chance, you won’t regret it
I cant wait for Their Boy, and Kit’s story, knowing Cara it’ll be amazing. I just wish it was here now, utill then i’ll just have to reread this again and again
I loved this book! Colt and Luke are the same but different. They have the same tastes but different with how they go to get it. They spend one amazing night together and it was so unforgettable! I felt like I was with the guys! We went on this adventure together and the best part is that it is NOT over! Besides that the hoedown joke cracked me up! I’m surprised someone didnt get a punishment. *lol*
I loved this first book in the series so much. I loved Colt’s and Lucas’s relationship. I loved their banter, their dynamic and their off the charts chemisrry. Two daddy doms can make it work.I cannot wait for the next book. Can they incorporate a third in their relationship and make it work?
Top Priority is the story of two men, Lucas and Colt, who happen to meet by chance. Over dinner and a couple of drinks they get to know bits about each other and can’t deny the chemistry between them. But they share the same kink, their both Daddies. Can they overlook that and focus on the steamy hot attraction and what happens when either or both of them can’t deny their Daddy side?
It’s so easy to get sucked into Cara’s stories! This was no exception! Her characters have depth and soul and I can’t help but get lost in their lives. I’m so excited to find out what happens next!
Top Priority is a fantastic new story by Cara Dee. This author is one of my favourite MM author’s. She gets to the heart of each story, stripping each character to the bare bones, so readers get a clear picture of exactly the type of men they are. Lucas and Colt were so hot together. There was tension, passion and personality. They just fit. The story began with style and ended leaving a long lasting impression. Unforgettable goodness. 5 stars.
MM is not my usual read but I am so happy I tried something new. I absolutely loved Lucas and Colt. Our H’s meet at a bar one night while stranded by a storm. At first you and they think they have nothing in common. I mean Colt is a Fighter Pilot, County Music loving Southern Boy and Lucas is a Marketing Exec, Bruce Springsteen loving Northern Boy. But they quickly discover that they are both guy and are Daddy Doms at heart. They have an instant connection and even though two Daddy Doms shouldn’t mix they do and they are great together. Of Course they only get the one night together. Lucas needs to get back to DC and his life and Colt is deploying to Iraq for a year. The connection is wrong and they remain in contact over Colts deployment and their relationship develops into something strong and unbreakable. I can’t wait to read the second book in the series Their Boy where hopefully Lucas and Colt will find their Little to complete them.
Cara Dee’s ‘Top Priority’ was such a loving read, offering a perfect snapshot of how instant connection, just a bit of trust, and communication can go a very long way, and in this case, be the best thing that has ever happened to two individuals.
Lucas has had one heck of a bad day, following up on a bad week, and the hits just keep coming, with him currently needing to wait a full 24 hours for repairs on his car, and a deluge of rain keeping him from ever feeling dry. Trying to dry off in a bar only seems to be the next terrible thing to happen to him until he runs into Colt, and then, everything changes. Two men that couldn’t be more similar, were also more different, and yet, something was there, a spark, a connection, something to follow through on. And the journey that the reader gets to undertake throughout this story is quite the endearing, and hot, emotional rollercoaster, and I already cannot wait to not only go on this ride again, but go on the next one; I mean, Kit?!
Cara Dee has given us an adorable meet-cute, some very spicy times, and two characters that I have fallen in love with. Lucas and Colt are so different yet perfect for one another, balancing each other out with their strengths and weaknesses, something beautiful to see happening on the page. The secondary characters that you meet throughout this book are just as engaging, and I definitely want their stories as well, especially Reese and River! Cara Dee, you’re a genius, and now I am impatiently waiting for more. And in the meantime, I’ll simply fall in love with Lucas and Colt all over again!
Literally one of my favorite books ever. I can’t even imagine how much I’m gonna love “Their Boy”. This book is… HOT HOT HOT. The main characters are absolutely delightful. And you can read this in one go.
Colt and Lucas thought they were just going to pass the night together. Instead, they find themselves continually drawn to each other. Even as one deploys and the other goes back to his life, their emotions continue to grow closer. The one thing they have to wonder about is the fact that both are Daddy Doms. How will it work with both of them as Daddy Doms? Well, I will tell you that the author takes you on one exciting ride that leaves you cheering these two men on.
This is my first book by Cara Dee and it definitely won’t be my last. Lucas and Colt meet in a bar when Colt had to step in to protect Luca from getting a beating. Then the fireworks begin, Luca and Colt can’t keep their hands off each other. A one night stand leads into more when neither can say good bye. But can two Alpha Daddies make a relationship work, especially with Colt being deployed. They promise each other to try and do whatever they can to make it succeed. They simply cannot be happy without each other . Their journey is sweet, funny, hot, heartfelt, hopeful and full of love. And the journey will continue to find their boy so complete their happiness. Daddies need a boy.
I can’t wait to read about it in the next book, Their Boy.
I enjoyed this quick “appetizer” to Cara Dee’s newest series. This book introduces Colt and Lucas “Luke” and is told entirely in Luke’s POV. Colt & Lucas meet when they are both stranded thanks to a storm and have a very hot night together. They form a connection and stay in touch throughout Colt’s deployment. They are both Daddy Doms and that is something that they have in common but also raises a bit of doubt if a relationship continues. Luke bottoms and their chemistry is off the charts and while Colt is a sadist there is no kink in the book. This is basically an introduction to how these two men meet and what brings them to possibly looking for a little to bring into their relationship.
Because we don’t get too much into their kinks and relationship I didn’t get the feeling that Luke was a Dom. I would be very interested to see him in a more dominant position and to see Colt let go with his sadistic side. The next book in the series will introduce a little for them and while I’m not usually into books with a ton of kink or an open relationship the way Cara wrote this story and her characters make me want to explore my book horizons. Colt and Luke form a fast connection but it’s believable.
ARC provided in exchange for review
Loved this quick read. A chance meeting, a long distance beginning, a perfect ending. Can’t wait to get more of these two in the next book.
Wow!!! What can I say about the amazing Colt and Lucus? I loved this book both guys were amazing but I think cocky Colt is gonna be my fave I mean who doesnt love a man in uniform who has the balls to fly a fighter jet . I normally find it hard to connect with the story and characters in a novella but I didnt have that problem at all with this book not only did it have red hot sex but I had feeling as well and that’s what makes it a winner for me!!! I cant wait for more of Colt and Lucas and I’m excited to meet Their Boy!!!
This is the first book I’ve read from this author. Of course I’ve heard of her books before and BDSM is one of my favorite subgenres so I grabbed the opportunity to read an ARC. I’m really undecided on this one. On one hand the writing is really good and the story flowes almost seamlessly but the characters lack depth. So many missed opportunities here. If the story was told in both POW’s it could be so much more. We’re told that both of them are Daddy doms and that could be a problem for their future relationship. Agreed. But telling is not showing. I just couldn’t get the daddy dom vibe from any of them. Lucas comes across as someone who’s still exploring his options and he’s more on the switch side if not submisive and Colt has a vibrant, fun, cocky personality, but no dom vibes there either. Sex scene is not a requirement to get that point across. We learn next to nothing about their preferences in kink except that they both supposedly need a submisive. This book is about a hundred pages short to really deliver all of the above. That asside I’m still looking forward to read book two, because again – the writing is good and it left me curious how their story develops
5 Star Review!!
So I finished Top Priority by Cara Dee a few days ago and it’s just stuck in my head, but I don’t know how to do it justice with a review. But, I’ll try.
Having been a Cara Dee fan since I picked up Noah and binge read everything else, I expect a lot, but I’ll narrow it down to 3 things.
1. No matter what the story is about, whether it’s suspenseful, angsty, kinky, whatever…I expect the dialogue to make me laugh, feel, and give me a perspective that no one else has.
She never disappoints. 2 freaking Daddy Dom/Tops falling in love, what could go wrong, right? I laughed, she hit my feel pit hard, and showed me how nothing in relationships is black and white. Chemistry is a top priority.
2. Character/Plot Development. Even after the last few years and having a birds eye view, I still need the element of surprise. If I can figure out the plot before it happens, you’ll lose me.
She never disappoints. We get a view into the realness of people. Real problems with real solutions you don’t see coming. There will always be a HEA coming, but like every other book she’s written, she doesn’t overlook the reality for these two men. Being a Daddy Dom isn’t a role for them. It’s who they are. There’s no changing that. And you can feel it. Struggle, reality, and a willingness for her characters to do the hard work for their happy is a top priority.
3. The sex. Dear lawd, don’t hold back on me.
This is one place I definitely don’t envy for authors. How many different ways can you write a blow job scene or a first kiss? I guess it’s why I do what I do and they do them. CARA DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! I literally don’t know how she does it, but I’m roped into the scenes like I’m sitting there watching. And it’s never just about the motions, and I think that’s what got me here. She’s painting the images in my mind. Conveying the feelings they have while connecting is a top priority.
It’s a quick read that leaves you wanting to throttle her for more. Seriously. Pick it up and you won’t put it down.
Wow. What another great read from this author. I enjoyed the varying view points of both Lucas and Colt they were each strong in their way. This author has a way of making you love unique characters a top that bottoms and a long relationship with two that needs a third. Two loving families. You could feel their connection building over every page. I think my favorite was when Lucas said he needed stability before anything and they wanted an exclusive relationship. The characters got better as they matured and intertwined their families. I cannot wait for the introduction of their third. I would recommend this book and will continue to view this author as a one-click purchase.
