Book safety down below.
This was a fast and easy read, and an enjoyable daddy romance. I liked the characters well enough, but I went in to it expecting a daddy/brat dynamic, and even though it was there at the start, it kind of fell away when the MCs got together.

Overall enjoyable, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations. That’s probably more my own fault than anyone else’s.

Book safety! Spoilers ahead.

So far in this series, this book was my favorite. It felt like the Daddy dynamic was more front and center than the other two, and there was a bit more spice in this one than the first ones as well. There were still a good handful of editing mistakes that I just couldn't unsee, and although I did like Gavin, I felt like his character changes were a little unrealistic for the timeline this book covered. I absolutely think that his bratty behavior could be solved by the firm hand Cooper offered, but it felt like that change happened so fast without any of the actual daddying methods being used. He was suddenly just sweet, which I didn't find very satisfying. The one moment towards the end where he was really pushing the limits was what I thought the book needed more of.

3.5 ““Trust me, precious. You’re all I see.” stars

“I don’t know what you want,” […]
“You don’t know what I want? You mean from you this very minute or long-term?” […]
“Yeah, because you see those two things are conflicting right this moment. Because what I want this minute is to kiss you. I want to know how you taste as much as I want my next breath, but what I want long-term is to know who Gavin Prince is. What he wants out of life, what his hopes and dreams are, and most of all, I want him to be mine”


Sometimes all I need is a good and fluffy daddy kink book to take my mind out of everything else and this one did the job perfectly. It was a case of the right book at the right time and it really worked for me.

Brief summary
Cooper is the landscaper at Gavin’s uncle house, where Gavin is currently staying. Gavin is interested in Cooper and he keeps flirting with him. Cooper thinks that Gavin is a brat that just really needs a daddy, so Cooper volunteers to be Gavin’s daddy and they fall in love.

First, this book is not reinventing anything when it comes to daddy kink books, but I really loved how it was done in this book. This was a really sweet book, with a really gentle and caring daddy and a bratty but still pretty nice boy. And all of it really worked for me.

Also, special mention to Cooper whom was a really good daddy, he was so nice and caring and always listened to Gavin and made sure to give him everything that he wanted and he always made sure that Gavin was happy.

Second, I really enjoyed Gavin and Cooper together. Gavin is rich and is used to being used for his money and I loved how Cooper showed Gavin that he can be so much more than that. I loved how Cooper was the first one to truly care for Gavin and how he Cooper showed how much he cared for Gavin through all of his actions.

Special mention to the sex scenes in the book that were very hot, I really enjoyed them.

Third, This book is pure fluff, low angst and just full of sweet moments and thats what I needed at the time I read it so it really worked for me. It gave me the exact feelings and vibes I was looking for when I picked up the book and it really worked for me. But, It was a little too fluffy for me and I started being a little less engaged in the book towards the end of the book.

I had a lot of fun ready this book and I really enjoyed reading it.

I received a copy of this book, and this is my honest review.

Jacki James sucked me into the Blue Collar Daddies world once again... despite being 40 chapters long, it felt like time stood still while I read Cooper and Gavin's story! This is the third book in the series but like the others, can be read as a stand-alone story

This was definitely my favorite of the series so far. I loved how Cooper saw past the walls that Gavin put up. He was so used to people using him for his money and name. I loved how Cooper showed Gavin that he was worthy of love. These two were really hot together as well.

I loved seeing all the other Daddies/boys. The way they welcomed Gavin in was so heartwarming. I am curious about Uncle Gabe. I’d love to see more of him. I’m looking forward to Owen’s story, but I’m a little sad it won’t be with Simon. I think Simon deserves a Daddy of his own too.

Another great Daddy/boy story!

A sweet and enjoyable read

This is the third book in the series but like the others, can be read as a stand-alone story. Cooper is a landscaper and Gavin is a rich boy used to people only wanting him for his money. Banished to Texas by his parents, maybe Gavin will find something he didn’t know he needed.

I have loved all of the books in this series so far and this is no exception. Cooper is a hardworking man who owns his own landscaping business and is a Daddy looking for his for keeps boy. Gavin is a trust-fund boy, controlled by his parents and sent to Texas when he does something they do not approve of.

I loved how Cooper brought Gavin out of his shell and allowed him to discover who he wanted to be. I also really like how each book makes reference to the couples and characters from the previous books so you still get to find out what happens to them. It’s not essential to have read the others in this series but they are just as awesome as this one so I recommend them all!

Overall this is a sweet, no-angst daddy/boy story with a HEA and I really enjoyed it.
