Ryder

Blue Collar Daddies, Book 1

By: Jacki James

Narrated by: Kirt Graves

Having a meltdown in the local hardware store isn't the best way to find the man of your dreams. Or is it?

Brennan Taylor is at the end of his rope, and the busted pipe under his kitchen sink was the last straw. He knows nothing about plumbing, or any of the other things his father says a grown man should know, but lucky for him, he is about to lose it in front of the perfect man to help him.

Ryder Davis didn't go to the hardware store intending to play hero. He went after a new faucet for his bathroom. But when he saw the angel in the plumbing aisle, it was obvious Brennan needed someone to step in and fix things for him. No problem, saving a beautiful man in distress was something Ryder was happy to do.

Fixing Brennan's plumbing turns into fixing his employment situation, and then right on to fixing his single status. But will Brennan's determination to be the kind of man he thinks he is supposed to be keep him from being the boy a Daddy like Ryder needs?

Contains mature themes.

great connection.

great story and easily connect with the characters. awesome take on daddy/boy and how the lifestyle can be different based on the individual needs. the story flowed really well and though it's focus is on one couple there is enough interaction with side characters to keep you wanting to hear their stories. I really have no complaints. low angst. sweet read. good narration.

Oh Daddy...

Having read this with my eyes, I knew how the story was going to play out, but even still, I enjoyed this one.

This starts with a meet cute in the plumbing aisle and ends with Brennan learning that depending on someone is ok sometimes.

Kirt did a great job with all the voices except for Ryder's, but it wasn't enough to take me out of the story.

Rescued

Ryder is restless and helping Brennan out at the home improvement store leads to a great night. But as they meet again Brennan is now the one that can help Ryder out. I love the cautious way their relationship builds and grows. I also love how they build a family around them.

Daddy's Angel

This is quite a short story with no angst and a nice meet cute.
Ryder is all heart and Brennan is a man looking for direction in life. As expected for such a short story their relationship becomes serious quite quickly but it didn't feel rushed.
Although a Daddy/Boy story it isn't as intense as some books I've previously read. There is no Dom/sub dynamic, more just a man looking for someone to love and take care of - which is a nice palette cleanser. So obviously the sex is different but still hot.
Spice level 🌶🌶
All in all a pleasant listen (good narration) and will listen to more of the series to catch up with characters from this story.

Exactly what I needed!

I love romance books like this, and recently I've missed the light heartedness of some good books. This is exactly what I needed. Also my first read by this author and narrator.
The narration is really good. And I love Daddy/ Boy books. The story is well written and enjoyable. A little short, lol, but nothing bad to say about anything.
