So, I enjoyed this book a fair amount, but I do wish a couple of things were played into a bit more. First off: the tension between Ty and Bear was fantastic early on, and I wish it was a slower burn so we’d get more of the delicious tension. It didn’t have to be angsty, but playing into Ty’s insecurities a bit more would have lived up more to the blurb. He struggles with everyone expecting him to be and act a certain way because of the way he looks, and after a point in the book, that felt a little forgotten. What I loved about the book is the unconventional Daddy/boy dynamic, so again, I just wish there was more of it.

All of this is my personal preferences though, there’s nothing wrong with the book.

The dialogue between Ty and Bear felt a little too perfect sometimes, a little unnatural maybe, but it got better near the end.

Overall enjoyable, with sweetheart daddies and two bears finding love where they didn’t think to look for it.
