When a much-needed holiday turns into so much more than sun and sand.
Hudson
Why have I even entered that competition? I never win anything. Ever.
Colour me surprised I won a weeklong holiday in a resort for Daddies and boys. And at the right time too.
A break from work.
A break from bad choices.
A break from being seen only as a sugar Daddy.
The Hôtel Plaisir looks the perfect place to unwind, relax, and have some fun. Even more perfect is the beautiful young man waiting for me. He’s everything I’ve ever looked for. He’s also the host for the week, which makes him out of bounds.
Doesn’t it?
Yannick
The chance to organise my own event and prove to my father I can be trusted to run our family hotel landed in my hands thanks to Cuffd and their competition. The winner gets an all-inclusive week at our resort.
I didn’t expect him to be my dream Daddy.
I didn’t expect to hurt so much when he played with the other boys.
I didn’t expect to give myself to a man who will leave.
But it is too good to pass up. Even if it breaks my father’s trust.

I can’t tear my eyes away from the erotic and compelling sight. Hudson looks up, his lips still on Roddie, but his eyes blaze and fix on me. I turn and flee the room, rush through the gardens, past the pools, and onto the beach.
I come to a halt, drawing long breaths into my lungs, then drop onto the still warm sand. I sit with my knees bent, my forearms resting on them, and stare out at the ocean. I love it here. Even as a child, I would sneak out to listen to the soft swell of the water as it broke on the shore. It calms me, even though I know the current is treacherous, that under the smooth surface, the undertow could take you away before you’re even aware. I lie back and gaze up at the stars. The sky seems to be so full of them tonight, each shining as dazzlingly as it can. The brilliant, almost full moon casts a silver glow over all it touches.
My anxiety slips away. I’m in no hurry to go. I have nothing I need to be doing. The twinkling stars and the gentle laps of the water on the sand soothe me. My mind empties.
A cool wind picks up, and goosebumps break out over my skin. Time to go inside. I’ve got a busy day tomorrow.
After brushing as much sand as I can from my clothes, I stroll back to the hotel. On the terrace, a solitary figure walks towards the rooms. The moonlight lights up his silver hair. Hudson.
He’s alone. Where is Roddie? I thought they would be spending the night together, for sure. My heart lifts a little, knowing he isn’t wrapping his strong arms around another body tonight. I go through the private door, a small smile on my lips.
After my shower, as I lie in my bed, the smile is still there. Sleep comes quickly.
This book is part of a multi-author series, Destination Daddies, Season Two, where the winners of a contest on the Cuffd app receive a weeklong vacation in resorts around the world. I love the premise behind this, and did read a few of the books from Season One. Men meeting other men with the same wants and needs, Daddy/boy.
This one is based around a business owner and architect from the UK, choosing his holiday in Southern France, where he meets and falls in love with the part owner of a luxury hotel that caters to many special weekends, one of them being a Daddy/boy weekend.
One of the best things about this is that it isn’t just about what Hudson and Yannick are looking for, but also the friendships they develop with the other Daddies and boys through the week. As in, I am definitely curious to see if any of those characters make another appearance in the future. 🙂
This book had insta-love, with both men realizing what they wanted within two days of Hudson arriving at the hotel, and they never really questioned it. There was no back and forth, does he love me or not. They knew almost immediately that they had found their other person, and it was left to them to figure out how to make it work with the two of them having successful businesses in two entirely different countries.
Along the way, we learn a little bit about the actual fathers that Yannick had, and how they both lived their lives somewhat neglecting Yannick. I was slightly confused during the early parts of the book, as it seemed that the father (Thomas) Yannick lived with was stern, but still loved him. Later it turns out that the absent father is the one Yannick is able to turn to when he’s struggling with Thomas about running the hotel. There was also one other piece that I didn’t quite understand why it wasn’t presented a bit earlier in the book, as I felt it was key to understanding why Yannick felt so passionate about the hotel.
Yannick and Hudson, despite their 20+ year age difference, had a lot in common, and seemed to fit right from the beginning. Although days one and two were…a bit difficult for Yannick to see, they did find their way into each other’s arms, dealt with the absent father, and his unpleasant husband, and decided how to move forward with their HEA.
A good beach read, especially with the beach being so prominent in the story. 🙂 Sit back and enjoy the silver fox, and his sweet boy.
