honestly, there's a line that really...shoulda been talked back (or not there) beforehand. otherwise, this mighta been a three? it was just really too short for me and I get encounters are the point of this, but the angst and build-up felt lacking on the part of one-side (see previous talked back line).

11/5/23 - god i just want a full book with these characters
11/7/21 - This is the first thing I've read that doesn't have pictures in over a month and I am HAPPY. Age-gap, short sexy novella featuring a gay disaster uni student, a recently divorced ten-foot-tall man and the most adorable child ever? LOVE.

General erotica is cool or whatever, but personally, I’ve always been fascinated with the scandalous.
A really cute, pretty sexy novella about a creative writing college student who gets involved with the divorced father of the kid he babysits. Uh, pretty much what it says on the tin. Funny, realistic, sweet, tropey in a lot of the ways that I specifically like. They had chemistry, they had banter, they had a good time, and it was well-written. I enjoyed it!
3.5 stars.

I’m pretty sure I found this book by binge-watching booktube one night. I was promised a steamy MM read with an age-gap. The Babysitter by Jack Harbon delivered just that.
College student, Hayden Rose, has been babysitting a precious little girl for years now. He has been there to witness her parents slowly drifting apart. He is worried that he won’t be needed when the couple finally calls it quits. It is such a shame since Hayden enjoys using the father, Victor, as a muse for his dirty erotica stories. Yeah, you could say that he has a crush.
After babysitting one night, Hayden forgets his notebook that is filled with steamy stories at Victor’s house. Mortified, he rushes to get it back but it’s too late. Victor has already read it and put two-and-two together. The newly single dad is ready to explore something new with Hayden.
This is a very short novella that contains nothing but smut. While I think everyone needs a good smutty read here and there, this one was lacking with character development. Hayden basically tells us the bare minimum about his-self, Victor, and Victor’s failed marriage before they jump into bed together. I needed just a tad bit more so that I could be invested in the characters. You know, so I can ship them a little.
However, the steamy scenes were REALLY good. If you need to break up your reading habits with some delicious MM smut, this is what you should be reaching for.

Super sweet, so romantic and Victor is definitely swoon worthy. I loved Jack's nostalgic writing style. The smut was incredible and the ending fit, the length and the tone of this book. Love it
