The Daddies of River Gorge by Jacki James

This is the perfect series if you’re looking for a sweet and low angst series with cowboys, small town, found family and mild Daddy kink.

4/4 books published
Can be read as standalone

This is the second series taking place in River Gorge, so some characters will reappear from The Men of River Gorge series, but it’s not necessary to read it before starting these books.

I really enjoyed these sweet stories about the Daddies in River Gorge finding their boys! I loved the boys and how they weren’t necessarily the “typical” boy types, there were some diversity and preferences that I loved to see here. The kink was pretty mild overall and mostly focused on caretaking, and, I mean, who doesn’t love caring and protective daddies? A series full of sweetness and tenderness!

Cruz

I’d spent a fair amount of time over the last week imagining what it would be like to be with Cruz, but never once in any of those fantasies had I dared to dream of this big strong cowboy on his knees in front of me.

Bear

“Oh, I can get growly.”
I ran my nose up the side of his neck and then let a low growl rumble up from deep in my throat. His breath caught, and he shivered in my arms. Oh yeah, if this worked out, my cub was going to be lots of fun to play with.

Gibson

For the first time in years, that old dream I had of me and Tristan together was rearing its head because, as it turned out, Tristan didn’t just need someone. He needed a Daddy. And not just any Daddy. He needed me.

Nash

He leaned down and brushed a kiss across my lips. “Good boy. I’ll be over there in just a minute.”
My breath caught in my chest for a second. We’d talked about him being a Daddy, but that was the first time he’d called me boy, and I was shocked at how much I liked it.
