My very good friend has a special Valentine’s weekend treat for all you readers out there, her latest book in the passion series ‘Expecting it All’ will come out THIS WEEKEND! If you haven’t read the Passion Series yet, that’s okay because this book can be read as a standalone – and let me tell you, it’s lovely! The book follows two of the characters in her fantastic ensemble cast, Derek and Rachel Parker, as they prepare to have a baby. Now, in most books it would all be celebrations and baby showers, except for this age-play/BDSM couple it means that Rachel is struggling with the idea she may not be her Daddy Dom’s little girl for much longer.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens to the relationship when an age-play couple has a baby, then this is the book for you! Also, if you just want to read about a bunch of Doms brought to their knees by a wailing infant, prepare to laugh and cry along with them in this fun, quick read that will surely make your Valentine’s weekend just a little sweeter.
Now, without further ado – let’s hear a little from Livia Grant herself!

JB: So, Livia, you know I adore your Passion Series and your previous release ‘Protecting it All’ was all action-packed, dark drama (which I loved!), but what made you write this light, fun book so quickly after?
LG: Part of it was I had this vision of three Doms and a baby, and the moment I knew that Rachel was going to have a baby I just had to explore and see what that would look like. It was just this scene in my head I couldn’t get rid of!
JB: You write age play so well, and you make it so approachable and I have always connected with Rachel and Derek just because of how well you write them. What made you want to include a couple with this dynamic in your series?
LG: I really am attracted to the psychology behind age play. At first I couldn’t understand it and so I kept reading different books until I could really get where it was coming from, and once I got it I just had to include it. It’s just such a fascinating relationship, and I wanted to explore it myself in my own mind and I can do it even better in my writing!
JB: What was your favorite scene in the book (no spoilers)?
LG: Before I started I would have said the three Doms scene because it’s such a comedy, and I also really really love the scene where the baby is born. I guess I have to say that the scene when their baby is born was just… magical, and it made ME cry. I think that, as an author, if I can make myself cry I’ve done something right.
JB: The psychology behind BDSM and the various groups within that umbrella of kink seems to be a consistent theme in all your books. Did you study psychology or is it just a passion (pardon the pun)?
LG: Um, that’s funny. Believe it or not I did get my minor in college in psychology, and it’s always been a passion of mine. My dad has always been frustrated that I never used it in my day job, but I’m thrilled that I’m finally getting to use my education a little bit and in such a fun way.
JB: Was there any part of the book that was hard to write? I’m always curious about where other authors struggle!
LG: This book just flew out. I saw it very clearly and it came easy, unlike its predecessor ‘Protecting it All’ which was, by far, the hardest book I ever had to write. I think it was because this book was fun, romantic, and had a lot of joy in it which is so much easier to write for me. Writing dark can take a lot of an author, but this was easy! Well, unless you’re Jennifer Bene, because that’s your thing, I just have to dig deeper for it.
(It’s true!)
JB: What’s next for you and the Passion Series? Will your next book be with these same super hot and fun characters, or are you doing something different?
LG: I’m thrilled that the next book in the series is going to be a crossover with the amazing Masters of the Castle series. Lukus and Tiffany will be spending part of their honeymoon in Ohio in the Castle with Master Marshall and Kaylee, exploring Tiffany’s kinks. They may even bring a Dom or two back to Chicago for The Punishment Pit.
JB: Holy shit, that sounds hot!
