BLURB:
Kinky glamping? No thanks. Hudson would rather sleep on the ground, and Rory prefers designer sheets. Can they still find a way to connect under the stars?
A little too loud, a little too opinionated, and a little too chubby, Rory is used to being overlooked. In his experience, Doms prefer their men small, quiet, and agreeable — everything Rory is not. So when his cute, twinky best friend drags him on a fancy camping trip for kinky singles, Rory doesn’t expect to be noticed by anyone, let alone the most handsome man he’s ever laid eyes on.
After several lackluster attempts at Daddying, nature-loving Hudson is excited to find a like-minded boy and give it another try during a camping getaway… until he realizes his rustic tent is actually a three-room cabin with a Sleep Number bed and satellite TV. Hudson is ready to cut his losses and head back to Denver when the cute bear cub next door catches his eye and his nurturing instinct.
Will charming, steady Hudson convince stubborn Rory he adores him just the way he is and become the Daddy Rory thought he’d never find? Or will they continue hiking separate paths?
Sparks fly in S’more to Love, a Daddy kink, gay romance featuring a clever, chubby bear cub, a Daddy looking to try again, tents pitched in more ways than one, and a marshmallowy happy ever after.
REVIEW:
Hudson is an architect, and by nature an ultra competent care-taker who has recognized he has a bit of a daddy kink. However he has no tolerance for twinks that are looking to just cash-in on their looks. When he incautiously books a vacation that’s specifically for folks with Daddy Boy kinks he finds himself glamping rather than camping, but also meets someone who might be ideal for him.
Rory is an interior designer with some body issues. That’s due partly to his weight and partly due to having a best friend who is the iconic twink ideal. After fielding several well meaning advice givers and pseudo-friends looking for an “in” with his bestie, his self esteem is a bit dinged up. But his witty snarkiness has become even sharper and he wields it like a weapon.
Though Rory and Hudson don’t initially seem like a good match, they quickly find that they are. And it’s hard not to root for them as they both seem to so badly need what the other offers. I gotta admit though… this is the first-time I’ve seen a daddy-boy relationship embrace the whole “dad-joke” thing though.
The authors here spin a convincing tale that’s entertaining and a fast read. There is enough different here for this to escape from the run of the mill fare for this type of fiction. The sex here is mostly understated, but the romance is sufficiently engaging to make this an enjoyable read.
