Enjoyed It

I really enjoyed this audio. Jack Dale is a new to me narrator and I found I really liked him. He did a great job of voicing these men. Capturing their personalities through voice and inflection. I would definitely listen to more from him.
I liked the actual story as well. I liked how their was a slowish build while they got to know each other.
It was super sweet with low angst.

Teddy and Barret are so perfect!

This is such an awesome book!
Both authors are new to me, but Daddy/boy is definitely my favourite kink, so I decided to try this book. And I am so very glad I did! Teddy made me fell in love with him from the very first page, and I just wanted to snuggle up with him and keep him safe and happy. And all along the slow burn I was rooting for them and talking to Barrett, like... come on, snatch him up, make him yours! So, I loved, loved, loved this story so much I cannot wipe the sappy smile off my face! I can't wait for book two!
Jack Dale was a new to me narrator, too, and I thoroughly enjoyed his voice and rendition of the different charaxcters!

Good

Good story, tho at some points it did feel a bit long.
A new for me narrator did a good job making this an enjoyable experience.

Loved it

I've had the pleasure of reading this book and listening was even better. I highly recommend this book.

So sweet!

This is such a sweet story. I just love Teddy and Barrett! They have their relationship develop from friends to more. An amazing slow burn but oh so worth it when they do get together. I also have never listened to Jack Dale as a narrator and I think he did an amazing job in bring this story to life. I couldn't stop listening and he made the story even better then to just reading it.

Such a good slow burn

Narrator is not the worst I've ever heard, he tries and manages well to give each male a different voice which is rare. Some awkward pauses but overall a good performance. This story is super good, takes a nice time to get into things but it's never slow. Really need more books like this in my life. Characters are all funny or cute and feel real. Totally recommend I instantly bought the other two books a few hours in to listening.

I love me some Teddy and Bear, great narrator!

I read this book when it first came out and just really enjoyed it! It's super sweet, pretty light on the Daddy kink really, but is probably perfect for people just diving into that kink or interested in something sweet with minimal angst.

Teddy has had a rough life, he’s been abandoned by loved ones before, and now his two boyfriends unexpectedly break up with him. Teddy is staying with his friend, when Barrett steps in and offers him a place to stay. Barrett is almost 20 years older than Teddy, and has tried to stay away from kink after a bad breakup. He sees the possibility of something with Teddy, although he does fight it at first. At first they both want friendship, but it’s so clear they’re crazy for the other.

I loved these two together, how perfect they were for each other and how they healed by being such a great couple together. It’s a very sweet story, and a bit of a slow burn. For people wanting more hardcore kink or daddy lifestyle, this might be a bit too sweet for you, especially with how quickly Teddy jumps into the lifestyle. But if you want a sweet story with minimal angst, definitely give this one a try.

I also really enjoyed the narrator. This is the first book I have listened to from him, and I thought his voices and mannerisms for Teddy and Barrett were great, and I loved Dylan and all of his "OH MY GOD"s. Look forward to hopefully hearing more from this narrator!

A perfect pair

Oh how I love Teddy he is so sweet and my heart just breaks for everything that he goes through, (in just the first chapter). I love the way that these two compliment each other in everything. Barrett(Bear) is absolutely perfect and even when he's not trying is just the best Daddy for Teddy. They have amazing chemistry and I love the way that they help one another to be the best that they can. Bear brings Teddy out of his shell and proves to him that he is loved and wanted, and Teddy helps to heal the broken pieces of his Daddy's heart. Together they are just adorable. I thought that the narrator did an amazing job with all of the characters and bring their personalities and passion to life.

enjoyed it!

Sweet with just the right amount of spice! I really enjoyed this may/december/daddy/boy story. I enjoyed the dynamics and connection between Teddy and Barrett . Jack Dale does a great job of giving voice to these guys. I'm looking forward to what comes next in this series.

Love this story.

I love Teddy and Bear, they were so good together. The love they where able to share for each other was great.
