Hugh (A Single Dads of Gaynor Beach Romance) by Gabbi Grey; Narrated by Michael Ferraiuolo


A sweet age gap story with a family built on love.


From the Hugh blurb:

Hugh

Having spent more than twenty years as an emergency medicine physician in war zones around the world, I barely have a home to speak of. A daughter I didn’t know about has died and left a child behind, so I must get to Gaynor Beach, California to claim my granddaughter. Her temporary guardian is the first man to spark my interest in a very long time, but it would be inappropriate for me to have a relationship with this much-younger man.

Oscar

Gutted by my best friend’s death, I take solace in the daughter she left in my guardianship. I’ll protect this precious baby with all I have, and no one is going to take her away from me—least of all the man who turns up on our doorstep claiming to be her grandfather. Despite the resemblance, I plan to keep him at arm’s length. I’m going to show him how capable I am. But I might also lose my heart in the process.

Hugh is a hurt/comfort, interracial, age-gap, MM romance novel with a moderate amount of angst.


Lesetiger's review:

The story is very sweet. Hugh only finds out that he had a daughter when his daughter dies and now he travels halfway around the world to see his granddaughter. Oscar looks after Hugh's daughter's baby. Then there's the social worker Anthony, who doesn't like Oscar at all.

Hugh and Oscar have an attraction right from the start, but not much happens for a long time. Slowly, slowly, slowly. A lot of it is about how they can raise the baby. I like it when there are children in a story, but when the rest of the story moves so slowly and almost fades into the background, I don't find it all that exciting.

But the story with a big age gap and the slowly growing feelings for each other is very sweet.

Michael Ferraiuolo delivered a brilliant performance. He really nailed the emotions and it was a pleasure to listen to his performance.


Hugh is currently available as an audiobook, e-book and paperback
