"an ADHD dad meets an autism dad, and there was only one tent"
boy-scout-dad-smut was not on my 2024 bingo card, but here we are, and it was really cute. while i appreciate the unique representation, it is always a bit of an ick for me when grown ups get nasty in close-ish proximity to children. there's one scene where they're getting down and are almost discovered by their scout troop, and yea that's not for me. for that reason, the soundproof recording booth scene was literally perfect, no notes, very steamy.
i kept expecting the miscommunication trope or a super homophobic PTA mom, but the main conflict of the book is just these two men coming to terms with their attraction to each other and reconciling their differences. very low stakes with one high-intensity trauma moment toward the end.

The Odd Couple 2.0 :) - 2 single parents, one more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-your type personality (Cal); the other, a stick-up-your-arse, by the book person (Russ). They rub each other the wrong way and do not get along, at all. But when they have to work together as co-leaders of the Falcon scout, they begin to thaw a bit and things become more interesting between them ;)
I enjoyed the story, I was entertained by the the enemies to lovers part, so much snark and banter! But the story is more than that - it's also about the love of a parent and how a parent will try to do anything for their child. It's also about perception - people prejudged Cal (as unreliable) and Russ (as reliable) - without really knowing either man.
The author did a great job of evolving their characters, the men learning from each other and getting closer.
Really enjoyed it!

I’ve never been an audiobook kind of guy but this, this I liked.
The story was simple, easy to follow and put down/pick up whenever I was in the mood.
I liked their relationship, the spice in audiobook format?? Had me giggling and biting my lips in public.
I’ll be listening to the rest of the series for sure!
