Liam by Candice Blake

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


The first one is way better.

2 stars and I’m being nice. First of all I don’t like the copy/paste feeling of a story. If you want to do a series please be more creative. Secondly adding a book to a series that’s called ‘Single Dads club’ You kind of expect the setting to be around the club, only once did we visit the club in the book.

Liam and Shawn had sex once upon of time at a young age, they had a fall out and I guess you could say they went back into the closet. I don’t need to put a label on what they have/had but I think they are both gay in denial again the story is the same as Damon and Jess (book one) I’m not gay – yah right. I’m sorry but it get a bit boring. The jumping back and forth should help you understand why things went the way they did, I really just annoyed me. Maybe that’s not the authors fault, maybe I just disliked the story.

Take one pro basketball player and a successful businessman with a beautiful kid, the story is set out to. be great. But at the end I was like.. Not so much. I missed the ‘Single dads Club’ and would have loved it to play much bigger part in the story.

Both main characters are great – they had a fall out twenty years ago and when they meet all is forgiven, of cause it is, you would do that, wouldn’t you? If you ask me: Hell no. I would take a lot of time to earn my trust again.

The storyline could have been great. Maybe change the circumstances a bit, try at least to let the main characters to acknowledge they are gay and maybe had a fling with a woman and she got pregnant. Ok, I’ll just shut up now.

Damon by Candice Blake

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Nice story actually.

Damon meets Jess at the Single Dads Club both single fathers and yet from two different worlds.
Damon is a successful business man and jess a college student trying to get by with a son and not much help from his dad.

I like the fact that Damon remember where he comes from, he hasn’t always had money and a happy family life, so he understands where Jess is coming from. In all it’s a beautiful story, maybe a bit too much at times.

Most people would probably be turned off byt the age gab between them, I don’t mind, love doesn’t know age, love is love. I think it’s great that Demon wants to take of Jess, but also that Jess is so independent in a kind of ‘I don’t want your money’.

I don’t really get the ‘gay for you plot’ in some stories it works, but for some reason not in this one, I wish I knew why, it just felt odd. I know these are stories and you can plan them as you want, but I still don’t get it. Being forty five and never even thought about sex with another guy.. Is that really possible.

But overall I liked the story.
