Adopt-a-daddy! How much do I love that concept? I also love a grumpy guy so Daddy Dean is perfect. Tall, tattooed, sweet daddy, not looking for love or a boy.

But one look at Tanner, a boy practically asleep on his feet, clearly in desperate need of some care and help, screams to his soul. And it’s only one night.

Until weeks later he runs into him again, and Tanner is doing no better than he was the first night. So there’s only one thing to do. Give the boy what he needs, a Daddy, even if he fights it. Tanner needs a routine, some sleep, regular meals and time to let himself be himself. He can do that for him. He can show him that it’s possible to contend with a stressful life of adulting and still be able to have a Daddy and be loved.

In a low angst really sweet and caring daddy boy story, we get a lovely romance of two men who prove that dreams can come true.

I loved how giving they both were. And honestly, every time Daddy Dean called Tanner ‘Baby-Bat’ I fell in love a little harder. 4.5 Stars
