As part of the multi-author A Daddy For Summer series, Helen Juliet writing as HJ Welch brings us Arlo, an adorable little, a vacation of a lifetime and a cat named Jolly...
From the blurb:
When this little gets in trouble, it’s Daddy to the rescue
THOMAS
Since a knee injury forced me into early retirement from pro hockey, I’ve spent all my time dedicated to charities helping under privileged children. The press and my fans would never understand my private life, but I’d love nothing more than to be Daddy to a sweet baby boy. The most I can hope for is a vacation fling at a kinky retreat.
However, before I even arrive in Bali, I already find myself sweeping in to take care of one Arlington Hythe-Wandsworth. He’s hopeless…and perfect. But we live an ocean apart and both of us would be ruined if our secrets came out.
So I vow to spend this week together teaching him what he should be looking for in a good Daddy, nothing else. My heart wants more, though, even if I know giving in to temptation will only break me when we go our separate ways.
ARLO
Okay so calling me ‘clueless’ might be putting it mildly. As the heir to my affluent family’s name and business, I’ve led a sheltered, privileged life. So it’s no surprise that when I sneak away on my first solo trip, I almost immediately get robbed. It could have been so much worse if my new friend Thomas hadn’t been there to save me, though!
Even though he’s dreamy handsome, kind, and funny, he says he’s not looking for a relationship. Besides, he lives in New York, and I’m never going to escape my family’s estate in Wiltshire, England. But he’s promised to spend the rest of our week together showing me what I should be looking for in the perfect Daddy. Not kissing or anything. He says I need someone to take care of me so I can finally let my inner little free without putting myself in danger or my horrid family crushing me with their disapproval.
However, the more time we spend together, the harder it is for me to see who could possibly be a better Daddy than Thomas. I’m not sure what I can do before I lose him forever.
Arlo is part of A Daddy for Summer, a multi-author series. This book features a large and angry stray cat called Jolly, pirates in search of treasure, not enough beautiful sunsets, two idiots who need to get out of their own way, and a guaranteed HEA with absolutely no cliffhanger. All the books in this series are standalones, but each Daddy is going to spend a magical summer with his boy, so why not stay and read them all?
Heather's Review:
Two men get on a plane to paradise and one loses the good sense the other one never had... two clueless men dance around each other in paradise and the reader laughs out loud sometimes in genuine humour and sometimes in frustration, but I'll tell you it works...
I love that these two go hunting for pirate treasure, befriend an otherwise aloof stray cat and slow burn their way to a summer sweet HEA! The ending is fittingly dramatic and totally worth the emotional pain of watching these two men trip over themselves to be a good boy and a perfect daddy...
Having now read several of the books in this series, I can say that Arlo is definitely a top contender for favourite book in the multi-author A Daddy for Summer series in this reader's opinion!
Arlo is currently available as an e-book and can be read as part of your Kindle Unlimited Subscription
