Milo

𐚁 I’ve always been a f*ckup, but this time I’ve done something unforgivable. I flee the most ruthless mafia on the east coast, driving west until my car breaks down in the middle of nowhere.

𐚁 A silver fox cowboy picks me up, offering me a job on his ranch in Montana. I thought it would be the perfect place to hide…

𐚁 The problem is, I can’t hide my secrets from Stone. He sees the deepest, darkest parts of myself I can’t face alone.

𐚁 His firm hands are the only remedy that can heal me. He makes me want to be a better, braver man. But I can only outrun my past for so long…It’s only a matter of time before the mafia finds me, and I f*ck this up too.

Stone

℧ Maybe Milo reminds me too much of my younger self, or I’m a sucker for a handsome face. From the minute I meet him, I’m obsessed with peeling back his tough guy exterior layer by layer until only the rawest secrets remain.

℧ I know I shouldn’t indulge—I’m too old for him, and I have my own secrets I’ll take with me to the grave.

℧ But he’s hurting. He needs a firm hand to help him become the man he’s meant to be. Will our secrets lasso us before we can even start?


Daddy's Firm Hands is a stand alone MM romance with dark themes. Stone and Milo will get their HEA.


Molly Otto's review:

Milo makes a grave mistake on his last job for the Italian mob and decides its best to head west as far as he can get from what was his family. When his stolen vehicle breaks down in Montana, Stone picks him up and offers him a job at his ranch. The two begin a relationship to heal each other from past hurt. When Milos past catches up Stone must choose to fight for Milo or allow his past to get in his way. These two are both broken in their own ways and do make mistakes, but that's only human and you can see why the choices were made even if you don't necessarily agree with them. This story is a light dark romance in my opinion, where yes there are darker themes involved but it does not go to deeply in that aspect of the story, but you get an understanding of the world Milo left behind. Previous reading is not necessary to understand what is going on with the characters. I do hope that in time Lucky gets his story, and we see what way fate decides to lead him.
