A super steamy, yet surprisingly sweet read – I just adored these characters and their dynamic!
Father Figure was a scorching hot forbidden romance, with Nicky going after the man who was both his boss and his father’s ex. It was a lot of fun seeing him being all innocent, playful and flirty with Cass, doing his best to make the man fold. Cass of course had to spend some time agonising over his attraction to Nicky, but it wasn’t long before he just couldn’t resist the pull between them.
I liked how the story didn’t jump straight into the steam, instead letting the tension and attraction build between them. And while it may have taken some time for the steam to hit, once it did, it was turned to high right away! Things quickly became kinky as well – there were a few sharing scenes with Cass’s business partner and best friend Sam, and the Daddy / Uncle / boy dynamic they had going on was super hot! I loved seeing Cass and Sam push Nicky’s boundaries and finding out what he enjoyed.
Father Figure was overall a deliciously steamy and sweet forbidden romance with some great kinks and dirty talk. The characters clearly cared for each other and there was a lot of sweetness mixed in with the steam – which I just adored. I had a lot of fun reading this one, and I can’t wait for Say Uncle!
