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

My review: Twisted Little Game by Raleigh RuebinsAnother in this Crimson College series. This one was a bit different than the others. Yes, they are still in college and it takes place there, but the other members of the Onyx Society aren't much of a part of the story as in previous books. And, not for nothin, I thought it was a big secret society and let Roman just waltzes in with Tate and no one questions it.Anyway. Roman is Bratva and as a favor to a cousin he is now the bodyguard of Tate, son and brother of football royalty who has been getting some pretty nasty threats.Tate is that golden retriever happy guy who literally makes friends with everyone. But he is mad about having a babysitter. Even if Roman is hot af.Roman never thought he liked guys. Until this blonde dynamo was under his care.Push, push back. Bicker. Test boundaries. Finally give in. But we knew that would happen, right? They are really hot and cute together so that's fine.And the plot was a bit interesting when we find out the twisted web the stalker came from.What disappointed me was the utter lack of family. Here Tate is being threatened and presumably has a stalker. Yes, he got kicked out of his last college, but seriously. His parents don't check on him? Or his brother who seemingly hired Roman to be a bodyguard.And on that note, Roman is all about how he is Bratva because of family and honor and whatnot, but never once do we see his father. You'd think the head of the Bratva Petrov family would want to know what his son is up to. Since it's obviously not Bratva business.Anyway. I did like the book and I loved them together, but they were was too insolated from most of the world.4 pieces of eye candy ...

My review: Rookie Moves by Jodi OliverWhat a fun read. I loved the premise- hockey prodigy wants to go to college for a year before he is drafted to get the experience of going to college. Of course he still plays for the college hockey team. He has three things he wants to accomplish during that year. And one of them is losing his v card. Cliche? Maybe. But the story is told really well.And even though Colby is a freshman, he recruits senior Tyler to help him. But it isn't wham, bam, thank you D man. It's slow and drawn out. Which shows Tyler's maturity. Wanting it to be perfect for Colby.Underneath it we have Tyler who is graduating soon which means working for his father back home and giving up hockey. Two things he absolutely doesn't want to do. And grr his father makes me so mad. And Colby who wants to play in the NHL, but also already feels the pressure of it. Hockey has had their eyes on him since he was a child. And it isn't getting better.We follow these two for several months with the backdrop of college hockey and making it to the Frozen Four. Of course with the ultimate goal of winning it. There isn't too much hockey (sorry, I don't like getting bogged down with page after page after page of hockey plays) and there isn't too much sex. It's actually balanced really well and the story moves forward without getting stuck anywhere.And apparently there will be a book 2 so we get more of Colby and Tyler? Yes please! I loved these guys4 1/2 pieces of eye candy ...

My review: Asystole by Jillian D Wray I am kind of hooked on this author's books!This is the start of a new series that is spun off from the previous one Ricochet Ridge. We met Logan and Chase briefly in that series and now they get their own story several years later.These 2 were classic black cat and golden retriever. And since Logan is still pining after the man he can't have, I'll let you guess which one he is. And even though Chase is a surgical resident in a long distance relationship trying to live up to his parents expectations- he is just a happy guy. So when he basically doesn't give up on asking Logan out for a beer, a friendship is formed.I will say that this is a VERY slow burn and it does involve cheating. So if cheating is a hard pass, now you know.The book gives them time to develop a relationship-mostly as friends-until it's more. But I liked that. I loved seeing them BE friends. Hanging out, getting a beer, etc.It also shows what residents go through. Not just the long hours- but what is expected of them. Giving up time off, writing reports, meeting with drug companies. I had no idea.And I really can't wait for book 2!4 pieces of eye candy ...

My review: Callous Shot by Becca SteeleYes, another hockey book. But this one is set in England and although the rivalry between 2 colleges is prominent, I don't think hockey takes the front seat. What does is the weird rivalry between the son/nephew in a crime family and the son/nephew of another crime family's lawyer and the detective who is investigating them. IHonestly, it took me a while to get into this book. I just didn't understand the "I hate you/No I hate you" stuff. Which lasted a LONG TIME. And it was over and over and over again. Like, ok. We get it. You hate each other. Even when you are having sex you hate each other. Got it. And the last names. Even outside of hockey why do guys call each other by their last names? Once they finally got over that, the book got better AND there was more plot. Dan and Link both have legacies to live up to. Unfortunately, Link's father is pretty horrible. A do this or else kind of guy. Dan doesn't seem to have the outward pressure that Link does, but in his head he does. Because he is next in line to take over. The kind of convoluted storyline with Link's father wanting Dan's family investigated finally makes sense at the end. But it's a bit of a meandering road. One that causes the 3rd act break up before they inevitably get back together.It was ok. I certainly didn't love it. There was a lot that could have been cut. I normally like this author, but this one was a bit of a miss.3 pieces of eye candy ...
