BLURB:
I was living in darkness. Cold and alone, I was gripped by the agony of loss and grieving for an existence I no longer believed I could have. Then he appeared in my life and I thought that maybe, just maybe, I’d been gifted with another chance at happiness. That I might be allowed the privilege of loving and caring for another man.
That I could have my very own boy…
A new beginning is more than Malcolm ever dared wish for.
Now that Malcolm has claimed Seth as his boy, he’s determined to be the perfect Daddy for the man he adores. Whatever his boy needs, he’ll make sure he gets it. But more than that, he’s sworn in his heart to protect him with his life. Seth’s bastard of a father and the twisted church that abused his boy had better stay away from them—or else.
Seth has discovered comfort and safety in his Daddy’s arms.
Finally, Seth accepts that a life filled with joy is possible. He believes that love is what matters more than anything and that he has nothing to be ashamed of. However, the demons of his past still taunt him, lurking in the shadows of his mind where they try and snatch away his happiness. Sometimes it seems as if his lingering fears will never be vanquished.
And sometimes, being afraid is a warning that should be heeded…
REVIEW:
This is a continuation of book 1, so definitely start there before diving into this one. Malcom and Seth are settling into their relationship as they explore their Daddy/Boy relationship. This starts out a little slow, but things pick up as they face Seth’s past.
Seth has a lot of lingering trauma from his past, understandably so, and Malcom is determined to help him through and be the supportive Daddy his Boy needs. While we are told about things happening, we don’t get to see much emotional fallout from the events, i.e. therapy sessions, scenes, etc. and I found myself longing for those details, much like I did in the first book.
This was a slow read for me, as I was just not getting the feelings from the characters or enough details to really spark my interest. The scenes were fun and interesting, but the isolation of this couple felt off. We do get a very sold happy for now and the assurance that these two will see a happy ending, so it will be satisfying to see that all play out in the final installment.
