Chief Executive Daddy

The next (and last--so far) Honey London novel is "Chief Executive Daddy" (this part of a multi-author series called Daddies For Dollars).

["Reid has lost everything—his home, his Daddy, even his self-confidence. The man he thought he loved stripped it all away, piece by piece. Now, he has no choice but to put his life back together, and closing his heart is the only way to move forward.

The last thing Foster needs is another distraction. As the CEO of a busy hospital, he doesn’t have time to take care of anything but his work. Lives depend on him running an efficient operation, and if that means neglecting his own happiness, that’s a sacrifice he’s more than willing to make.

When Reid is dumped in his office, the broken boy awakens something in Foster he thought he’d buried—the need for someone of his own to care for. But Foster won’t find happiness until he allows himself to lean on others, and for Reid to try again, he must first learn to stand on his own."]

Slow burn isn't exactly by favorite (I don't have the patience--instant-gratification generation mixed with a little undiagnosed ADHD--for too much or too long of a slow burn), but this book was cute! The stressers that kept them apart, their own personal demons, were anxiety-inducing (check the trigger warnings below), but they needed each others demons to learn from their own and grow individually (and as a couple). 

And Foster and Reid made up for it with all of the sweetness and steam. Ratio wise, there was a lot more sweetness than steam, but it was still utter perfection. Their relationship, this book, was all about trust and self-assurance, about growing and overcoming trauma. It was about letting people in and letting the past go. It was also a lot of anxiety (Reid's and mine--again, check the trigger warnings; Reid's ex is...horrible and toxic and all around yuck).

Trigger Warnings: emotional abuse, anxiety attacks, stalking and obsessive behavior, abuse of police authority, and more.
