BLURB:
All a shattered boy needs is a Daddy to put him together.
Maxim
I don’t need a man. I don’t need anyone.
David thinks he can save me from the path of self-destruction, but he’s wrong. I’m not trying to ruin my life; or fix it. I’ve given up trying either way.
I have a plan. I’m leaving this city and all the wretched memories behind, but I need to say goodbye to my mother first. Father won’t let me. He won’t even open the door for me anymore.
The only man to open his home to me is David. He’s patient, caring, and sexy as all hell. I don’t deserve his kindness. I don’t need it. I don’t need a man.
But maybe it’s a Daddy I needed all along.
David
All I ever wanted was someone to look after, to make mine. I didn’t expect to find that someone in an angry little con-artist.
Maxim’s a heartthrob. He’s also a troublemaker; a stubborn one at that. I’d be wise to stay away, but I might not be as wise as I thought.
Every conversation with him is a battle and it takes a war to finally get to the core of the problems. All this boy wants is to see his mother and I’ll be damned if I don’t make it happen. His life is one massive heartbreak, but I can help heal a broken heart.
There’s so much good in him the world decided to ignore. No wonder he’s angry.
He won’t be mistreated ever again; not on my watch. And if he would lower his shield for just one moment, maybe we could both find what we’ve truly been looking for.
Daddy’s Stubborn is a standalone entry in the Healing Touch series. It features one patient and caring Daddy, one stubborn and fiery Middle, and all the heart and steam. Contains mild Dom/Sub dynamic, Age Gap, Age Play, and a very happy ending for all who deserved it. Not Jack. Jack doesn’t deserve it.
REVIEW:
Maxim is in trouble, thrown on the streets by his awful father after he saw him kissing a boy. He can’t even reach his bedridden mother anymore.
Maxim is twenty-five and wants to find a way to see his mom just one more time after that, he’ll leave town.
David is thirty-seven, has his own business, and is doing well financially. Colliding with Maxim brings all his Daddy Dom parts to the surface. He had a boy in the past, it didn’t work out for them, he’s hesitant to have a boy again.
He wants to take care of the angry, stubborn guy, he wants to help, so when he’s ready he can leave town.
First things first, the kid needs some structure and guidelines in life.
Maxim is convinced he doesn’t deserve or need help from this quite patient, caring man who’s sexy as hell. But oh boy, David understands exactly who and what Maxim… in need of a Daddy.
Leaving town seems like a decision to reconsider.
A lovely, lovely story I enjoyed reading! The way David took care of Maxim was wonderful, Maxim’s attitude was challenging. The story has some nice hurtful moments, at times excellent sensual, it has sexy encounters, and a nice storyline, the emotional parts were palpable.
The story was slightly developed but for the whole picture enough. I loved the proximity.
David and Maxim were lovable characters, just like most secondary. There’s only one character in this story who was evil, ugh.
The mild Daddy Dom boy dynamic was sexy, steamy, and sweet, for me somewhat too lightly present, I can’t complain it delivered exactly what the blurb said. The dynamic was palpable and quite nice for the eye.
Overall a quite enjoyable age-gap Daddy-Dom/boy story with emotional moments I love to read about.
