Camp Jackwood by Finn Dixon

Camp Jackwood was a fun sexy little story!!!


From the blurb:

When NYC party boy Micah gets roped into being a counselor at a summer camp deep in the Maine wilderness, he's convinced it's the start of a disaster movie. But things go from bad to erect, once he finds out his bunkmate is Wyatt, the ruggedly handsome and muscular lifeguard who can start a fire with two sticks and a smirk.

Micah's idea of roughing it involves spotty Wi-Fi and the occasional Starbucks outage, but fortunately he has six abdominal-shaped reasons to pay attention to Wyatt and his outdoorsy lessons. As Micah trades spa days for bonfire nights, Wyatt finds himself falling for the city boy who’s more likely to post about the sunrise than wake up for one.

With each new adventure–whether it’s Micah’s sunburnt bum or Wyatt’s rope-tying tutorial–their unlikely romance blooms. At Camp Jackwood, pitching a tent is easy, but can a relationship work between a guy who’s lost in the woods, and one who’s locked away his heart?


Nicole's review:

This was a fun sexy little story!!! Poor Micah, he is not really built to be a camp counselor. Finn had me laughing so hard I was crying at some of his shenanigans. Wyatt on the other hand is a natural, and it was fun to watch him teach Finn the ropes. There were plenty of steamy moments, and of course a sweet HEA. I really enjoyed how this story came together.


Angel's review:

If you like lots of steam with plenty of dirty talk this book is definitely for you. These two men have steamy times on their brains almost 24/7, they are usually either talking about it, thinking about it, or actually engaging in steamy times. 

Wyatt's character is definitely an outdoorsy person while Micah isn't in the beginning, gradually the longer Micah was at the camp the more he started to enjoy his surroundings. He became more involved with the campers, he was looking forward to different camp activities, and he was enjoying the outdoors more. Until he turned into a lobster... But he wasn't complaining about that too much because of what it led to..  

I liked how the background scenery was described, we got a good description of the layout of the camp, as well as all of the activities being described really well. I wish there was more scenes of Wyatt and Micah getting to know each other, rather than their relationship being primarily focused on steamy times. I was missing those moments and that relationship building. The ending was really cute, I loved how Wyatt started planning to be with Micah after camp was over, and how he had a plan in place to do exactly that. 

Heather's Review:

If you like  your summer romance with a huge side of steam, you'll love Camp Jackwood.  The men in the story were a definite opposites attract story, with Micah being thrust into the camp counselor role and Wyatt being a natural, but beyond that, this novella gives us a chance to watch Micah grow into his environment and he and Wyatt grow together.  

This is definitely not a slow burn, so if you like your story to feature instant attraction and lots of heat, that doesn't just come from the camp bonfire, than Camp Jackwood is for you.

Camp Jackwood is currently available as an e-book and paperback in wide release.
