The Teddy Bear Club by Sean Michael: Release Day Review with Giveaway

July 31, 2017 by Denise

Two lonely men. One perfect family.

Aiden Lake adopted his institutionalized sister’s two daughters, and he’s a good dad. He works nights on websites and gets in his adult time twice a week at the Roasty Bean, where he meets with other single gay parents.

Devon Smithson wants to be a good dad now that his sixteen-year-old sister asked him to babysit her newborn… three months ago. But he’s overwhelmed with the colicky baby. An invitation to the daddy-and-kid gatherings at the café is a godsend. The pot is sweetened when his friendship with Aiden develops into more—maybe even something that can last.

But the mother who kicked Dev out for being gay wants to get her claws into the baby, and she doesn’t care if she tears Dev, Aiden, and everything they’re building apart in the process.

Hot dads with their kids, is there anything cuter?

In this one, we have Aiden, who with his friends, Logan and Zach have a weekly routine to meet up for coffee for a little “dad-date” kind of thing. Just a little group to get away and have some time with other adults, as a mother, I can 100% relate to. Dev, is the new guy to the group and brand new dad to his sisters abandoned baby. She just up and left him without a trace, leaving Dev to figure out how to do this dad thing on his own. Fortunately, he doesn’t have to, because Aiden, with his two little girls, invite him into their home for play dates and adult conversation. It starts off as a platonic friendship but soon turns into more, the more they get to know each other and spend time with each other. Plus, all the kids get along really well, Bee (Aiden’s daughter) and U- short for Unicorn (Dev’s new son), are roughly around the same age, so I can imagine how difficult that would be, but handy, as I loved having kids close together.

Unfortunately for Dev, his sister disappeared, so getting custody of U before his homophobic mother caught wind that he had him, was proving pretty difficult. Luckily, Logan’s a lawyer and set to work on it pretty quick.

I loved these two together because it all seemed so real. The dynamic wasn’t perfect between them, Dev brought some baggage and needed help, which he wasn’t afraid to ask for and Aiden was wasn’t afraid to offer it. It was a story of friendship first that turned into more. I liked that it wasn’t just, “hi, nice to meet you, we both have kids and you’re hot so I love you”… I enjoyed reading about their every day stuff and them getting to know each other and got used to being a family, together. The dialogue was a bit cheesy at times but it works for these two. I really enjoyed it.

I would’ve liked to seen some karmic justice served up on the mom who was seriously, a terrible person, but other than that. It ended on a good note and I wouldn’t mind reading more about Dirk, Logan and Zach. <Heavy hinting here> J

Tempt by Cora Rose and EM Lindsey: my reviewEissa is a big wig in the Vyastil. Even after he was harshly punished and his human companion killed years ago. But he can't seem to resist Luca, Dante's brother. When they met in Las Vegas, neither knew the connection. But that comes to light pretty quickly.There's a lot of push/pull between the characters. Eissa wants Luca but doesn't want to want Luca. Luca wants Eissa but keeps getting hurt and says never again. But there's always an again. It was bordering on too much.But beyond Eissa and Luca finding love together, there is another plot about the Vysatil and what is really going on. I actually really loved this bit of intrigue! What has happened over generations, how it used to be, how they want it again, even other species who live on Erethar. I definitely want more of that!And Gerald, I just love Gerald.I've really enjoyed this series. This one was slightly different in that the timelines overlapped some with the previous book. And while I respect that and the fact that we are now getting the perspective of Eissa and Luca, I almost feel like there was too much overlap. Meaning we already got that part of the story in the previous book and now we are reading it again. But overall, a good story, it moved the series forward, we met new characters and I can't wait for book 4!4 pieces of eye candy ...

He’s still the spoiled second son of the most powerful house in the world. His father will never let this happen. And the Wraiths are coming for us both.But the pull of attraction is only glowing brighter.And I’m about to fall in love with him anyway, even if it kills me.The House of Finch and Crow is the first novel in Hayden Hall's debut MM paranormal romance series, The Keepers of the Light.
