When you have so many ARCs due and so many TBRs to catch upon, naturally, you read a book that just debuted today. Here's DK Sutton's "Camping with the Boss." It's part of the multi-author series Pride Summer Camp.
["Remember the story about a beast imprisoning a maiden to atone for her father’s sins? This is like that.
Except not. Billionaire Wade Darian is a beast in attitude only. And I’m not a maiden, although the label does fit in ways I'm not thrilled about, if you know what I mean. This CEO is my brother’s boss trying to prove to his stockholders that diversity isn’t just a line in the company policy by arranging a Pride retreat. When my brother disappears the day of the event, his bossy bosshole boss insists I take my brother’s place. Only, you guessed it, there’s no mansion with a beautiful library and dancing dinnerware. I’m stuck for three days at a campground in Southern Missouri with a survivalist overlord, snooty employees, and a token gay guy.
Me. I'm the token gay guy.
Happy Pride to me.
Did I mention the killer squirrels?"]
DK said this book was different than the other books they wrote, mainly due to the Daddy nature of it. But it also just generally felt new for them. It was dramatic but not overly so. And it was a fairy tale retelling, which I'm allllways down for, but I don't think DK has done one before (I could be wrong).
I freaking loooooved these two. They were glorious! Was their love quick? Sure. Was it true? Hell. Yes.
And oddly enough, I loved the almost-too-many conflicts and secrets and confusing drama. It really added to the plot, the climax, and their love story.
I almost wish it was longer. Almost. Buuuut, they're timeline and their story was perfect just the way it was (even if I cried).
Trigger Warnings: off-page death of parents during childhood, interoffice politics and conflicts, past moments of child abuse, and more.
