Fluff Me: A Bears-4-U MM Romance Novel by R.A. Frick

Nedra says "Another example of why I love R.A.’s work!!. They're fierce and not afraid to tackle taboo writing while educating their readers." 

From the blurb for Fluff Me:

Marcos Vasquez is a jaded musician, working his way through San Francisco with the goal to never sleep with the same man twice. A new app to find the older men Marcos loves to top is the perfect hunting ground for his ideal type of bear. When Marcos has to prove he isn’t as flighty as his reputation suggests, he ropes a one-night hookup into the plan.

Despite coming out later in life as transgender, pansexual, and kinky, Sam Andrews is an optimistic man. Friends tell Sam there’s a new dating app called Bears-4-U, where people are seeking older, chubby Daddy Bears, just like him. Sam hopes to find his teddy bear, but gets more than he bargained for with a brat who talks Sam into fake-dating.

Pretending to date Sam is an eye opener for Marcos, when he ends up learning he enjoys being dominated and kept on edge. Can Marcos keep from falling for the older Daddy Bear after faking their way through a relationship?

Fluff Me features a sassy "I-don't-have-Daddy-issues" boy named Marcos, and Trans Daddy Bear named Sam who get tangled up in a low angst rom-com with a twenty year age gap, Grumpy-Sunshine opposites attract, theater kids grown up, #fakedating and edging k!nk with a HEA.

Bears-4-U is a MM Daddy romance, multi-author series, featuring a host of delicious Daddy pairings. The Bears-4-U dating app is all about putting Bears and Teddy Bears together for their honey-sweet HEAs. Psst, no real bears involved. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not snuggle up with all the bears?

Nedra's Review:

In typical R.A. fashion,  they deliver another fantastic gender-fluid masterpiece! And the Daddy bear vibe added compensation to an already unique storyline (the kink was drool-worthy, too 😉).  

“𝓓𝓪𝓭𝓭𝔂 𝓶𝓪𝓴𝓮𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓻𝓾𝓵𝓮𝓼, 𝓫𝓪𝓫𝓮,”

I fell in love with Sam and Marcos’ instant connection; a lot of chemistry, too, right away. Their body's need for each other was fierce, resulting in scorching smut scenes that left me breathless on more than one occasion. 

“𝒟𝑜𝓃’𝓉 𝓎𝓊𝒸𝓀 𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝓎𝓊𝓂,”

Loved the updates on past characters as well, as an introduction to a couple of new ones, too.  I have always appreciated the educational aspect of their books, especially having a trans-MC. Learning about their lives and the dysphoria they experienced was enlightening and appreciated. I cannot wait for their next release!!

Heather's Review:

Fluff Me is a fabulous addition to the Bears-4-U world and I love that this world crosses with R.A. Frick's X Club series as well, because it gives us an amazing world of genderfluid and genderqueer characters for Sam and Marcos to interact with!

It's kinda sweet, very steamy and I messaged with the author around chapter 15 and said, "I'm going to go back to the book and find out when Marcos stops fighting the inevitable" and I could hear them laughing at me as they replied "I'm sorry for his upcoming stupidity."  And honestly that is the story in a nutshell...

Oh yeah, Sam is trans, much older and a truly sweet and wonderful Daddy Bear that Marco just doesn't truly appreciate fully... and you're going to root for him from the moment you meet him.  And there are adorable dogs... and well, an incredibly creative play, and well... you'll have to read for more...

Nicole's Review:

As a trans man who came into himself later in life, Sam is finally comfortable in his own skin, and ready to settle down. His friends introduce him to the Bears dating app, and he's hoping to at least find a good time.  

Then we have Marcos, the beautiful young and talented musician. He has no interest in a relationship or a daddy and is always willing to have that good time.  

Their initial hookup is explosive, and the chemistry and kink is off the charts. Unfortunately, Marcos is kind of a jerk, as we already knew, and ignores poor Sam until he needs him for a crazy fake dating scheme.  

We then find out there is a lot of crossovers in their friend groups, and the relationship starts to not feel fake.  

You want to shake Marcos a lot, but we end up with a very romantic HEA and lots of super hot and heavy kink, and I am all for it!
