A boy who can’t find what he wants.
A Daddy who doesn’t know what he needs.
With his big blue eyes, lean frame, and propensity for adorkable clumsiness, Mikey Harrison is a Daddy magnet…for the wrong type of Daddy. Those who mistake his desire to serve as an open invitation to mistreat him and abuse his trust.
But all of that changes when he lays his eyes on Stirling Bishop. Sure, the strong, silent (and irresistibly sexy) type ticks all of his boxes, but it’s the tenderness underlying Stirling’s strength that makes him achingly irresistible.
For Mikey, it’s insta-love.
For Stirling, it’s insta-huh?
Despite looking like he was put on this earth to be the Daddy of every boy’s dreams, the thought of dating a younger guy has never even crossed Stirling’s mind, much less the idea of being a Daddy.
But there’s no denying that Mikey awakens something deep within him—the desire to dominate, the need to care. It’s been dormant, yet bubbling under the surface within him for his entire life.
Can Mikey help Stirling find the strength he needs to be the Daddy he was meant to be…and become the Daddy of Mikey’s dreams?
REVIEW:
Being a Daddy is something his three best friends are, not Stirling.
Until his path crosses Mikey’s, a twenty-four-year-old sweet and adorable boy.
Stirling, nearly forty, is a closed-off guy, exhausted and is limited in vocally expressing himself. Mikey offers comfort and affection, he opens Stirling’s gates.
Mikey is honest about his needs and Stirling wants to be the one for him even though he doesn’t open up about his own.
His knowledge about a Daddy/boy dynamic is limited too.
This was such a naturally flowing journey. Stirling was a beautifully flawed Daddy who had a lot to learn.
He was closed off, never spoke a lot. For Mikey he wants to learn, it would never work as a one-way thing. Mikey touched a thing in him that will be never untouched again.
The story had just the right little hurt comfort here and there to make it emotional, and just enough sexual tension to make it delicious. My dirty mind was a bit disappointed by Stirling’s confession about his preference. It was way too sweet. For Stirling, it was huge so that made it acceptable to me.
This narrative had a few interesting side stories with family and friends. Hopefully, we get to read more about them in the next instalment.
The end was just perfect it made my eyes a bit blurry.
Overall a nicely written narrative, the Daddy/boy and age-gap aspects were slightly developed but enough to be satisfying.
It was entertaining with a friendly vibe and good doses of humor, hurt comfort, and sexiness.
