About this listen

I’m just playing with you, Danny.

Danny has been harboring a secret crush on his dad’s best friend for years, and when he finds himself helping Jordan with some late night filing, things quickly take a turn for the interesting.

I’m starving, Little Boy.

Jordan should know better, but he can’t tell Danny no. One night turns into two, and two turns into more. Before either man knows it, they’re in a serious - and secret - relationship.

You always belong with me. You always belong to me.

Danny is across the country for school, and his mother’s goal in life is to set Jordan up with one of her friends. Tension and expectations are pulling them apart. One grand gesture gone wrong leaves their secrets in the open where they must face the repercussions and the cost of desire.

I’m going to make sure you know how much I love you.

I didn't like how this story started, but by the end Danny and Daddy Jordan won me over. I think what caught me so off guard in the beginning is how quickly Danny and Jordan hooked up and how miraculously compatible their kinks were. Don't get me wrong--it was super hot to read about all the filthy things they got up to, but I was missing the emotional connection between them. I wish there had been even a couple extra chapters to warm me up to the idea of them together. It didn't help that the first six months of their hookups were fast-forwarded, so any chance of me getting that satisfying emotional buildup went out the window. After Danny went away to college, the pace of the story slowed down significantly and I enjoyed the romance much more. I loved how sweet and pliant Danny was with Jordan while still being very sure about exactly what he wanted from him. Seeing how committed Danny and Jordan were to making things work long-distance told me everything I needed to know about how serious they were about each other. When they did make time to meet up, their passion ignited into such incredibly hot encounters that took my breath away. For a story that rode the line between desperate longing and angst, I was surprised by how maturely Danny's family reacted to finding out about his relationship with Jordan. Danny and Jordan had built it up into this impossible barrier to get across, so when things actually worked out it was such an unexpected relief. I thought the epilogue, set 3 years into the future, was such a lovely way to get a glimpse into Danny and Jordan's "happily-ever-after".

A steamy Daddy/boy romance

This book was brilliant and I highly recommend it!! Falling in love with your father's friend/ business partner is not one if my favorite tropes in romance but it's so amazingly done in this book! The chemistry between Danny and Jordan was absolutely explosive! And the level of love and caring between the two if them just melted my heart . It's a great book, beautifully written with deep and easy to connect with characters and I just couldn't put it down. I loved the side characters too. Especially Tim and Toby. And the narrator was amazing, he really brought the characters to life. Fantastic!

Amazing!!

Danny was working in the office of his father's business for a while as he had taken a year out before starting college, he ended up spending several hours with Jordan his father's business partner when there had been a mishap with a large stack of files. until then he hadn't realised that Jordan was attracted to men or what was going to happen next between them...but there was an attraction and neither of them wanted to ignore it.
This is the second book in the series although it works as a standalone without any issues or story crossover. Daddy / boy age gap romance which is hot, thoroughly enjoyed. Christopher Rourke did a fantastic job narrating the book.

I love Daddy Jordan and Danny, having read their story a while back I loved being able to revisit them. I thought the narration for the two men was spot on. This is a great story with a father's best friend and Daddy kink tropes.

great story, great narration

Story: The balance between the heat, angst, love and desire is perfect in this story! It was an absolutely enchanting tale with amazingly well crafted words and feels.
Narration: Great voice! I think it fit the characters really well and added to the story instead of overshadowing it.

Perfectly balanced story

Really hot daddy kink and dads-best-friend age-gap story! I like!
Hot scenes and enough drama to keep things interesting until the end. The office sex scenes were reeeaally hot!
This narrator was new to me, but i liked his performance. His voice is easy to listen.
If you like daddy kink without ageplay, be a good boy and listen to this book!

Oh Daddy!
