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

✨EXCERPT: BE MY RUIN by Davidson King releasing July 22nd!#PreOrderHeremybook.to/BMRpreorder “Took you long enough.” Penn grinned. He was in the middle of the bed, beautifully naked. Candles were strategically placed around the room, and he was shaking a can of whipped cream.“My apologies, had I’d known dessert was waiting for me, I’d have pushed Dean out sooner.”He chuckled. “No, Gideon, I’m not dessert.” He angled the can my way. “You are.” He patted the bed that I only just realized had a towel on it. “Hop on.”“Can I shower first?”He shook his head. “You can shower when I’m done with you…you’ll need it.”While I preferred to wash, I’d taken one this morning so I wasn’t gross. I wasn’t about to ruin Penn’s plans, so I quickly removed my clothes and tossed them onto the ottoman. Penn’s gaze traveled the length of my body, and his dick was hard and weeping by the time I crawled onto the towel.“How do you want me, Chef?”He bit his lip, eyes twinkling with mirth. “On your back, legs spread.”I did as ordered, never looking away from the gorgeous man who, judging by his expression, was going to devour me.“Not that I mind, but what’s this all about?”He jiggled the can but stopped before he sprayed any of it on my skin. “Um, the kids are gone, the house is empty, it’s Friday, the weather is hot, I’m human…take your pick as to why I want to eat you up, Gid.”While it was true—we always wanted each other; two years hadn’t diminished that feeling, and I was sure a hundred more wouldn’t either—there was something Penn was scheming…and I was here for it.“Okay, have your wicked way with me, then.”✨Catch up on book 1, Be My Monster, available in KU, before book 2 releases: a.co/d/02NkGJDH#davidsonking #mmromance The Author Agency ...

My review of: Sweet Devotion by Riley HartIf you read the first three books in this series- all MM- you had to love Aislin. Not only the only woman, but the youngest. Who was under her father's thumb but is now happily living life at college. And through those three books we know that Aislin and Zuri are together. But we didn't know the STORY. Now we do.We get a novella that tells a full story- from when they met to the conflict that they have to deal with and a lovely prologue (I love a flash forward prologue!) without sacrificing story, dialogue or arc.And who knew Rory would turn into a giant teddy bear? I mean, a mafia teddy bear but still.In the end, Zuri found herself a family, Aislin found herself and we were left totally satisfied.*trigger warning* there was a murder or two that seemed a bit gratuitous, even for mafia. But you be the judge4 pieces of eye candyThe Author Agency ... See MoreSee Less

Paralyze by JJ Asher...my reviewDisclaimer that I did not read book 1 so some things came as a surprise to me. This book is more complex than you think at the beginning. Tek really has a big arc that is played out on the pages that make him deal with his missing best friend, his parents, his missing brother and the sudden appearance of his best friend's little brother, Carey.Carey also has a good arc in that he was the kid who took off at 18 and kind of bummed his way around the world wherever the surf was good. But missing his big brother sent him home to Washington state. And a missing brother.There was a lot of emotion in this book. Tek has definitely been through some things and they have shaped the man he is now. Stand offish, no strings attached, with friends he only has because they refuse to give up on him.There are some elements of BDSM toward the end of the story but it is evident, looking back, that they were always there. Just not in a sexual manner. This is a sloooooow burn as Tek refuses to acknowledge his attraction to Carey until it's impossible not to.The only thing that I noticed was that there was a period of time where Tek apparently went off the rails a bit after the thing (no spoilers) happened in the past and it's kind of unresolved. Other than that, well written book and I need to go back and read book 1!4 1/2 pieces of eye candyThe Author Agency ... See MoreSee Less
