In a world of second chances, will Matt get the one he needs most?
Alec has been patient, but he’s waited long enough. It’s time for his boy to make up his mind, stay or go. Why won’t he commit to their happy ever after?
All Alec wants is an answer from Matt, a confirmation that he wants to spend the rest of his life in his Daddy’s arms. But Matt refuses to commit. Instead, he seems to be pulling away.
Matt knows his Daddy Bear wants a life together, but he is still not sure he can give that to him. Matt knows he’s broken inside, the beast in their relationship. Something must be wrong for him not to be able to say yes to his beautiful and loving Daddy.
Then Matt’s hidden secret, his monster, is exposed and threatens to destroy his relationship with Alec and the Brenners once and for all. Will Alec support his boy as their world crumbles around them? Will Matt run away rather than ask for what he needs?
In the sixth book of Bearytales, will this Daddy and boy get their happy ever after?
REVIEW:
The Brenner family, consisting seven brothers, live on a mountain. They are all gay and Daddies, all but one have a boy.
Maybe all but two. Alec Brenner’s relationship with his boy Matt has always been complicated.
Matt never agreed to be his boy to the fullest.
Alec wants an answer, Matt will have to make up his mind because Alec can’t go on like this anymore.
It even seems Matt is more and more retreating from Alec.
Matt wants nothing more than be Alec’s boy, only he can’t, he’s living with a horrible secret. If Alec or any of the Brenners and their boys would know, they would hate him forever.
Sadly that day was way nearer than he could imagine.
If you are familiar with this series, you know about the work the Brenner brothers are involved with.
Saving vulnerable boys who were captured, abused, and sold by The Kingdom Mountain theme Park.
This read was the second last story of the Bearytales series. Protective Daddies and their vulnerable and sometimes feisty boys.
Alec and Matt their relationship is sweet, and hot but also complicated, given the circumstances.
Thank goodness they have their hea.
Overall a great addition to the series. It’s a captivatingly written story, enough developed, with a middle fast-pace, endearing at times, harsh at times, and a solid plot. Looking forward to the last installment!
