I was surprised to find this story to be a very sweet, romantic read. Most of the Daddy/boy stories I’ve read are quite simple. Usually lust or love at first sight with desperate boys searching for a Daddy. Troy and Apollo were different in that they had an online friendship for a year before they met in person. This wasn’t instant lust, but a friends-to-lovers tale, which happens to be one of my favorite types of tropes.
The blurb does a good job of explaining what the plot is about so I won’t go into it. The subplots are about how Troy and Apollo, once they meet in person, then go about learning about each other by doing touristy things, and playing as Daddy and boy. A lot of the communication the two have in the book is done through email or text, so until they meet, which is about half way through the story, there isn’t any sex.
Troy is sweet and geeky. The geeky part comes from his obsession with Greek mythology. His connection to Apollo grows with telling Apollo tales of the Greek Gods and Goddesses. Troy had a bad experience with his previous Daddy, so his self-esteem is quite low. Apollo is a care-taker and Troy triggers all his instincts to protect and help build up Troy’s self-esteem. Apollo is very respectful of what Troy wants, something that Troy isn’t used to. The two are very much suited to each other and I could believe in them as a couple. The author did a good job of creating distinct personalities for each character.
I did notice some inconsistencies in the story. One inconsistency was with a sex scene that didn’t make sense. The positions and actions seemed mixed up and didn’t create a clear picture.
Overall, this is a sweet, romantic, friends-to-lovers, Daddy/boy story. One that goes more deeply into the relationship than the other Daddy/boy books I’ve read. I give this 4 Stars and recommend this book to anyone who likes this trope.
