BLURB:

Prince Rose is a rich kid flunking out of college. The only hope for his father not to find out is to retake the finals of three classes. The way he can earn that privilege is to spend his summer at a camp for disadvantaged youth.
Of course, he takes the job. The cabins are shared, the food is bland and nothing that he’s used to, but he makes a few friends, something he’s sorely lacking.
He also makes a couple enemies, but what keeps him going is the mystery man who is staying in a cabin across the lake from the camp. He’s gorgeous, tattooed, the perfect man to piss off Prince’s father, but so much more.
When Prince recovers a cell phone the mystery man throws in the lake and gets it working again, he discovers that the man is even more mysterious than Prince first thought. Caught sneaking around to find out more, will the handsome stranger be one more hurdle in his life or will he be the Daddy-in-shining-armor that Prince has always needed?
Prince is part of A Daddy for Summer, a multi-author series. All the books are standalones. So why not stay and read them all?
REVIEW:

Prince is just looking for a way to get through life. Everything about his life is dicatated by his father and he’s having a hard time trying to find a way to keep going. Working at summer camp might just be what he needs.

Dex was just trying to do his job but Prince is making things really, really hard…pun totally intended.

I really wanted to like this book. I loved the premise and Prince is an easy guy to like. He’s kind and sweet and in desperate need of friends. Dex is bossy but likable and sweet in his own way as well.

I just had a hard time getting invested. The story didn’t flow very well and things moved along way too fast. It felt like I was being jerked along and I feel like the author needed to take some time and flesh the storyline out a little more. The bad guys were just too much and could have used a little subtlety instead of gnashing their teeth constantly.

I liked Prince’s friends but none of them seemed to have a lick of common sense when it came to their friend’s safety, not to mention the kids they were in charge of.

I’m giving it 3.5 hearts because I like the stories intent and I enjoyed the main characters. I just expected more.
