BLURB:

After his boyfriend ruins graduation day by dumping him—over text!—Eli decides to go solo on the Pride week vacation they’d planned to take together. His first night there, a smoking-hot bartender rescues him from some unwanted attention…then sticks around. Rebound flings aren’t usually Eli’s style, but what better time than his first Pride week to try something new?

Strings-free hookups are the only kind of relationships Hunter goes for these days. As a bartender—especially during Split Rock’s Pride celebration—he doesn’t have any problem finding people to be with. But he’s tempted to break his own rules for a pretty boy who’s only in town for the week. Their tastes line up perfectly, and Hunter finds himself straying from his usual pattern with Eli. It’s nothing to worry about, though. Eli’s on the rebound and Hunter doesn’t do repeats. They can have some fun and both walk away satisfied.

What happens during Pride week stays at Pride week. Right?

REVIEW:

That was a lovely novella, fresh, sexy, with lovable characters (except one ugh)

On graduation day Eli gets a text!! where his boyfriend dumps him. He shows up with his new boyfriend.
The plan was after graduation they packed up and celebrate Pride week at Split Rock.
Eli is a bit reluctant but still, he goes alone.

Eli is twenty-four and came out just two years ago, this is his first Pride week. After this, he’ll set up his own business as a jewelry designer.

The most pretty petite graceful young guy enters his bar and Hunter can’t take his eyes off him.
He’s alone and Hunter takes his claim. Hunter at forty does only ’one night’, no repeats and no locals, Eli is perfect. What he couldn’t foresee Eli is the sweetest tantalizing boy and calls him Daddy!!, what more can you ask for? It will be hard when the week is over.

Oh boy what a great read, there’s more to this story than above, there are lovely protective friends, there are some super attractive sexy encounters, and more!
I enjoyed this short read immensely, it has a perfect pace and is clearly written, it has a fresh vibe, is enough developed, and has a marvelous epilogue!
