BLURB:

Is it possible for a renewed friendship to lead to more? 

Dylan’s life changed for the worse back in middle school. Because of that, he ghosted his best friend, Brett, out of fear and embarrassment. Now, as things finally come together for him, he’s more concerned with earning a place back in Brett’s life than he is about finding the Daddy his friends think he needs. What’s an Understanding Daddy, anyway?

Brett feels like he’s been waiting a lifetime to find out why his childhood bestie walked away from him. The more time they spend together, the clearer it becomes that he doesn’t have to understand what happened. All that matters is now.

As Brett’s feelings morph into something brand new, something special, will Dylan believe that he’d truly like to be his Daddy or will he let the past hinder what should have always been?

Welcome to another heartwarming story from The Tap Tavern where the Daddies are helping this chosen family of boys discover how beautiful they are.

REVIEW:

I really have really enjoyed each of these books. This is very mild caring and loving Daddy kink books. There is no age regression.

Dylan gets through one day at a time. He works all the hours he can so he won’t wind up like his mother, over worked and willing to look the other way to get out from under debt and poverty. She chose that over protecting her first born and living in squalor. But Dylan knows better and is working to get his nursing degree so he can be an ER nurse and “pay it forward” like that kind nurse did for him. She believed him when his mom and school counselor refused to. Unfortunately his friendship with his best friend Brett growing up was a casualty of his living situation after his mother married his abusive step-father. Brett has no idea why Dylan ghosted him when they entered high school and gives him the cold shoulder every time he and his best friend Anthony go to their favorite bar after work. Dylan knows he has to come clean to Brett when Brett steps in to help with an out-of-control customer. But what will Brett think when he hears Dylan’s reasons?

I know that this is billed as a Daddy story but it’s more of a caring and more dominant partner caregiver type for a man that desperately needs the world taken off of his shoulders. I still can’t believe that guys chastised Brett for “wasting his money on them with flowers”! I love when I get flowers. It’s such a wonderful and thoughtful gift.

I love all the boys and their daddies at The Tap Tavern. They have created a loving found family in each other and have left behind the horrors that they endured. I hadn’t realized that this is a spin-off of the Takoda Outreach Center series. The next book up is Archie’s story. He and his little brother are the adopted son’s of Fisher, who was instrumental in getting the center founded, and his husband Marcus, who came to the hospital when Dylan was younger. This story is going to tug my heartstrings as much as Dylan’s did. I have a soft spot for throw-away kids and kids that suffer abuse from the people who are suppose to love them most…their disgusting excuse for parents.

I can’t recommend this book enough. It’s bound to get you in the heart but so worth the heartache.
