He lit up the evening sky like we’d switched to day,
✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ .5
I think I smiled all the way through when reading this. Both MCs have a couple of insecurities they deal with, but this is super low angst. Rhys is quite neurotic, but the sweetest person and most adoring dad. He loves his best friend (baby mama), but wants someone to love all of him without them thinking he’s ‘too much’. I even managed to tear up a little but because of those kinds of thoughts.
I tried to force a grin that came out more like a grimace as I clutched down on my nuts. Kid had fucking good aim.
Cole… Cole, Cole, Cole. I want one of those. Homebody, thick and hairy, sweet, and a little rough in bed? *coughs* yes please. I loved how he wasn’t quite sure how he felt about kids at first, and he was slightly intimidated by the thought of dating a dad, but toddler Sammy won him over pretty quickly. Rhys and Cole complemented each other well, I thought. They gave space when needed, and pushed when the other MC needed the help. It was a treat to watch them date, starting with a bit of a disaster miscommunication that thankfully ended well, and eventually fall in love. If you want something sweet and low angst, I would definitely recommend.
If my own best friend couldn’t hack it, then who would?
