Zeke and Rett love each other wholeheartedly, but are not sexually compatible. They both like to submit to a dominant partner and during sex they prefer to bottom. When Rett decides to leave the US and return home to the UK before the agreed date, Zeke feels he has little time to convince his lover to stay with him. He decides to try something they haven't done before - find a Daddy they can share, someone who would give them both what they can't give each other. This is how they meet Micah, a wonderful Daddy who turns their lives upside down and is perfect for them. But is this amazing Daddy enough to help Zeke and Rett find harmony that has been missing in their lives?
"Dear Daddy, Please Hold Us" by Colette Davison is the third volume of the holiday "Naughty or Nice" series consisting of standalone novels written by many different authors. The stories have a lot in common, but the most important element of the plot is of course daddy kink. In my opinion, the most important advantage of "Dear Daddy, Please Hold Us" is connected to the said motif. Namely, the creation and presentation of our two boys, Zeke and Rett. You are probably wondering what exactly caught my attention. Well, the intimacy of their relationship, ease of cohabitation and broadly understood acceptance. Note that friendship or relationship doesn't mean the person is completely open and doesn't feel embarrassed, especially when it comes to intimacy and sexuality. So reading "Dear Daddy, Please Hold Us" I've found it very important that Zeke and Rett aren't ashamed to show each other what they need, what turns them on, what kind of boys they are. Zeke and Rett are totally different in terms of their ageplay needs and they fully accept this fact. It was their trustful and honest relationship that made a great impression on me.
I want to write a bit more about the characters of Rett and Zeke, but this time let's enrich this duo with Micah. In "Dear Daddy, Please Hold Us" the subject of trust is undoubtedly essential. Importantly, Colette Davison in her novel emphasises the significance of trust not only in terms of Dom/sub, daddy/boy dynamic, intimate closeness, but also when it comes to normal life, everyday affairs or problems. The author has built her story in such a way that she fully uses the potential of this important topic, as she doesn't stick to just one aspect of it, but uses as many topics in case of which trust is essential as possible. Moreover, in "Dear Daddy, Please Hold Us" the author shows us another very interesting problem, namely, that trusting another person is not all we need to become "interpersonally" fulfilled, to open up. In my opinion, this is a really important element when we look at the relationship between Rett, Zeke and Micah.
In the previous paragraph I mentioned the opening up and I would like to write a little more on this subject, because also in this respect I really liked what the author prepared for us. Let's start with the fact that "Dear Daddy, Please Hold Us" has a fairly simple story in terms of the plot, as it focuses largely on this one motif. And yet Colette Davison woven into her simple story many small, but very important elements, themes. One of them is the above-mentioned opening up to yourself and others in order to cope with the strong feelings that really get in the way of everyday functioning. Importantly, the author showed that in order to open up, certain conditions must be met, which we are often not even aware of. Sometimes this loving, most important person whom we trust is not enough because we need something more, or someone more. The human psyche is a very complicated mechanism, and that's what we see in this novel.
Finally, I would like to briefly mention the topic of polyamory, and more specifically, how the author outlines the differences between an open and polyamorous relationships from the perspective of her characters. First of all, it should be noted that there are as many different views on relationships as people. However, in "Dear Daddy, Please Hold Us" the emphasis was put on this most important aspect of any relationship - love. It is love that marks the boundaries between the relationship that Rett and Zeke were in at the very beginning of this story and the one that gave them full fulfillment. This is essential as it emphasises the importance of feelings between individuals in a polyamorous relationship.
All in all, "Dear Daddy, Please Hold Us" is a really good novel that will get all readers interested, especially those who love stories full of positive emotions. However, in this story we can find also more serious, emotional topics and we get an insight into the psyche of the characters. So taking all that into consideration, this is a novel totally worth reading and I wholeheartedly recommend you this story.

Dear Santa,
If I could make one wish this Christmas, it would be for a Daddy with a big enough heart for two. We both want a Daddy who can be loving, but also firm when he needs to be, who enjoys spanking his boys and making their asses red, and with big enough arms to hold us both.
We need a Daddy who can help us let go and relax.
Lastly, but probably most importantly, we need a Daddy who can meet both our needs. I don’t have many boundaries as long as I can trust my Daddy, and I’m open to trying new things. Rett…well, he’s a little more reserved but he has a huge heart, and he’s the sweetest boy you’ll ever meet.
Here’s the thing, Santa: I have a little over a week to convince Rett to stay. I don’t know if you can magic up a Daddy who can love us both, but I’m making this wish anyway.
With hope,
Zeke

Excerpt
As they helped me clean up after dinner, I tried to work out what kind of scene would make them both feel cared for and wanted in equal measure.Then came a moment when we were all in closer quarters than we had been the whole evening. There wasn’t a lot of space between the kitchen counters and the breakfast bar, so while Rett was loading the dishwasher, I was drying the pots that couldn’t go in, and Zeke was putting the wine glasses away, both young men were within touching distance.I put down the pot I was drying and the tea towel, and as soon as Zeke had closed the cupboard door, I hooked my finger through his belt loop, tugged him close, and mashed my lips to his in a commanding kiss. He let out a throaty chuckle. When he pressed his body against mine, I felt the makings of an erection through his jeans.Rett was crouched down by the open dishwasher, eyes wide as he watched us. Had he ever seen his best friend kiss another man before? As I wrapped one arm around Zeke’s back, I wriggled my fingers at Rett, inviting him to join us. For a moment, I thought he wouldn’t, but then he stood, closed the dishwasher, and edged closer, one tentative step at a time. As soon as he was close enough, I put my arm around his waist and pulled him to me. They were standing shoulder to shoulder, their bodies tracing mine. I tore my mouth from Zeke’s and, with his saliva still damp on my lips, kissed Rett.“Oh, Daddy, that’s hot,” Zeke breathed as he watched the two of us kiss.Hearing him call me ‘Daddy’ sent blood pulsing to my cock. It was good to know Zeke felt comfortable enough to say it, and it made me long for the moment ‘Daddy’ would cross Rett’s lips too.Rett put his hand on my chest and gripped my shirt in his fingers. He relaxed a little against me, but there was still far too much tension in his slender body.“Now kiss each other,” I commanded.They didn’t hesitate. They kissed each other dirtily for me, sucking each other’s tongues as I held them. Then Zeke’s mouth was on mine again, and a few seconds later, I was kissing Rett once more. Zeke sought out Rett’s neck with his mouth, sucking and kissing in a way I was sure was going to leave a mark. Rett moaned as we both lavished attention on him, and his body became a little more pliant in my arms.I ran my hands down to their arses and squeezed, tugging them so I could feel every inch of their bodies against mine.“Let’s move to the bedroom.”
