Review

If you enjoy Dad’s best friend stories with a slightly bratty younger man, then you are bound to enjoy this low-angst holiday novella.


Sugar Cookie is Nate’s elf alter ego when he’s working at Frostdale Mall’s Christmas Village. Know for the treats he’s constantly baking, he’s come by the name naturally. He’s planning to go to culinary school, so he’s not looking to start something serious.


So the feelings he develops with his father’s friend Clark are unexpected. For both of them. Clark is recently divorced and he’s not eager to jump back into a relationship.  And the fact that Nate is his best friend's son gives him pause. Especially when they are caught by him. But he’s hard to resist, and suddenly the future looks bright and exciting.


The magic of Frostdale strikes again.

Synopsis

Sugar Cookie


Clark

Forty-years-old, divorced, and cruising dating apps for a hookup. Maybe I'm having a mid-life crisis, but don't I deserve to cut loose a little? How was I supposed to know the guy I matched with was my best friend's son? It's been years since I've seen him. I should tell him it was a one time thing, but it's harder to tell him no than I thought.


Nate

I'm working two jobs and saving up for culinary school. I'm not looking to settle down and have a relationship, but sometimes I need to scratch an itch. When I run into my most recent one-night-stand in my living room, I know once won't be enough. He's only in town for the holidays, so it's the perfect opportunity for us to mess around. No strings attached.


Sugar Cookie is a dad's best friend, age gap, MM romance. This book is part of the Merry Elf-Mas multi-author series. Each story can be read as a standalone, but why not come along for the ride as each of Santa's elves finds love during the holidays.

REVIEW: Breakthrough by Ana Ashley (Dads of Stillwater #2)

BREAKTHROUGH Dads of Stillwater - Book Two by Ana Ashley Release Date: October 11, 2022 Review Glad to be back in Stillwater, where the number of gay/bi single dads is high (must be something in the water)! Ana always writes lovely and thoughtful stories of beautiful men with depth. Milo and Ellis are no different. Milo is young and sweet but also strong and resilient. He’s been dealt many blows in life but never gives up. Especially when’s got an infant to care for. Ellis is an older kindergarten teacher. Steady, caring, and always ready to help out. He’s been hurt though, so he’s shy about the idea of dating, especially a much younger man. I loved both of them. They were both kind-hearted and wore their hearts on their sleeves, even if they didn’t think they did. I also loved that despite their ages and the imbalance in their financial situations, they also felt like equals. They both had something to bring to the table. The story has enough twists, turns, and emotions to feel comple...

REVIEW: 7 Minutes in Kevin by DJ Jamison (Games We Play #3)

  7 MINUTES IN KEVIN Games We Play - Book Three by DJ Jamison Release Date: November 10, 2022 Review I’ve really enjoyed this series of young friends finding love at the hands of party games. This third book has been teased in previous stories. That of Kevin and his immense crush on his friend's dad. With a significant age gap, Kevin’s insecurity over his gender fluidity, and Garrett’s job that has him on the road 3 weeks out of 4 every month, these two have a few hurdles to navigate if they want to get their happy ending. Though Garrett accepts his bi-sexuality with relative ease, there is still the need to come out and face how others will feel about it. I didn’t connect as well with these two as I have the others, but they still make for an enjoyable story that I have no doubt folks will love.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis 7 minutes in...holy heck, what have I done?! What happens when I return early from a work trip to find my son throwing yet another party?...

  PLAYING DIRTY Miami Piranhas - Book 0.5 by Beth Bolden Release Date: January 12, 2023 Audio Release Date: April 26, 2023  Review Oh my, these two are the definition of cute. Not animosity or rivalry. Just nice guys who want to see someone else do well. In the process of them lifting each other up and supporting one another, they find not just a friendship but a strong love. If you’re looking for something low-angst with two really adorable guys being young men, living their dreams, and finding love, then you can’t go wrong with Playing Dirty. It was also a fantastic audiobook. Narrated by Darcy Stark, he made it highly enjoyable, capturing them both so well. It really made my work day pass a lot faster.
