Rethinking Fate Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 758 ratings

Now what? Dr. Miles Sheppard has been focusing one goal for so long nothing else mattered, including his personal life. Unfortunately, now that he’s crossed the finish line, he’s lost. Gaining his doctorate should have been the hard part of his career, but figuring out what to do next might drive him crazy.

Now what? Sean’s been watching the sexy doctor for months. But when the quiet cutie dozes off in the middle of the crowded bar, it might be time to step in and actually talk to him. Sean’s not shy, but he knows he’s not the most traditional man. It will take more than a sweet temperament and an understanding smile to accept the unconventional relationship Sean is looking for.

When an exhausted doctor meets a bartender who’s more than meets the eye, they’re set for a match made in heaven…as long as heaven includes binkies and bedtime stories.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

M.A. Innes and Shaw Montgomery are two sides to the same squirrely author brain.

M.A Innes is the part of my imagination that leads to kinky and curious things like age play and puppy play.

Shaw Montgomery is the aspect that likes sweet BDSM but isn’t taboo in nature.

I love hearing from readers so please feel free to ask questions or make comments.

    After reading about the other littles and couples, it only made sense to find out about Miles, and what a sweet story it was. Sleeping beauty and his Daddy.

    I preferred that it was light on the intimacy because their story didn't need it, it gave the insight of their relationship and the beginning of Miles helping other kinksters like himself.
    Of all the littles I have read about Beauty was the sweetest, and it came so natural to picture him smaller when he was dragging around his blankie, binkie and bear.

    And becoming little happened so easily for him, with no internal struggle if it was right or wrong. Just logic and debating with himself until he saw how things were meant to be.

    As always there are side characters that makes me curious and with it, adding to the pile of books I have yet to read. And I would be fool to complain when I get to read so well written and entertaining books.

    These two main characters... charming.

    Miles being a psychologist makes his thought process fun to read. Sean is the perfect steady caring daddy.

    I love how their relationship builds. This was a sweet story about a boy discovering himself and a daddy being fulfilled.

    M.A. Innes never disappoints. If this is a genre you enjoy... you can not go wrong with any of this authors stories.

    I was really curious about Dr. Sheppard, for one about how he came to be a litlle and for two about how he came to be a psychologist for people on the BDSM comunity and I finally got the answer to both questions in the form of a really well thought and sweet story.

    I've been waiting for the author to write this book for some time. Shep is such an integral part of all of the various interwoven storylines in the author's universe that him not having his own story left a void. The book is just as cute, funny, and well-written as all of the other quality books from the author, and as always, I will be eagerly waiting for the next treasure produced in this universe.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this story about a daddy and his boy. I’m not sure Miles realized he needed a daddy before he met Sean, but I loved how they complemented each other and how the romance developed over time! They were perfect for each other, and I loved their romance and HEA!

    I have read and enjoyed several books by this author. This one was unexpected. The lovely way the relationship between the characters was explored and developed was beautiful.

    A fantastic love story.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this one.

    Sweet kink is one of my favorite types of books, so I love Shaw Montgomery! This is hands down...one of her best! Miles Sheppard is a tired, grad student that has just finished his Doctorate when he meets Sean, bartender and innate caretaker. This is an excellent Daddy/boy story with the hottest, sweetest kink for which one could ask. This book is not part of a series but to fully appreciate it...I recommend reading everything else written by this author! ;)

    I have liked Dr. S in so many other books where he has been there to help people and I’m happy we got to see his story. I can’t wait to see what comes next from this wonderful author and I hope we get to see Bryan come out of his shell more as he pops up in future books.

    Once again M. A. Innes has delivered a wonderful story where the foundations of the relationship are so strong you know it's a guaranteed HEA. The trust, caring and communication between Sean and Miles was perfectly enhanced with heat and passion. Loved it!

    I’ve read all books by M.A. Innes, but this one is my absolute favorite! Miles is so adorable and his dynamics with Sean is amazing, sexy and sweet.

    One of the best Age Play books I’ve ever read!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 20, 2019
    This is only the second or third book I’ve ever preordered on kindle, but I knew it would be good. And it totally delivers.
    We’ve met Dr Sheppard in multiple M A Innes books but here we get to hear his story. This overworked, exhausted grad student who needs to relax and unwind....and the hobby-bartender who rescues him. It’s so nice to meet the doc as a younger man, see his struggles to figure out what he wants to do with that v intelligent brain and truckload of empathy he has. Sean, our lovely Daddy, is sweet, caring and gorgeously written and the relationship evolution is fast and slow enough; we can see the changes but it’s not too drawn out so we do get to the good bits!! The interactions between the two remind me why I love the Daddy concept so much (they’re adorable!!). And the additional characters - Jake, Andrew, Aubrey and others - are just involved enough to be interesting personalities, without taking away from the cosiness of being part of the two MCs’ very intimate-feeling journey. Rereading after I go back to the Pieces series!!

    This book is exactly what is so good about Daddy books. The love and care Sean showed his boy was beautiful and the emphasis was on the relationship building rather than specifics in the ABDL Daddy/boy lifestyle. I really enjoyed this.
