About this listen

Flirting with his friend’s father was supposed to be just fun and games for Derek, but what happens when teasing leads to unexpected questions and some surprising curiosity?

Derek has known the unflappable Sean for years, and nothing ever gets a reaction out of the attractive older man. Nothing, that is, until Derek senses some unexpected curiosity from the man he always thought was straight. But who better than an adventurous switch to help Sean explore his wild side?

Sean knows better than to take Derek’s teasing seriously. There’s a reason he’s always called the impetuous younger man “the pest”. But when Derek’s playful banter leads to some interesting reactions, Sean has to decide what’s more important - hiding behind what he’s always assumed or finally getting to discover who he really was all along.

The story contains m/m sexual content, playful use of the term daddy, BDSM elements, spanking, a mischievous switch, a fun adult toy store, and a man who always thought he was straight.

Author’s note: There is no age play in this book, although Derek loves to drive Sean crazy about their age difference.

I love Sean's journey of discovery and how Derrick is there for him and can work together to figure out what each of them need. I love how caring Sean is and not threatened by Derrick's job or his relationship with his friends.
I listened to the audio version which was enjoyable and well done.

The only way to live is a very good age gap story. Derek loves flirting with Sean his best friend’s father and always has. Though now he is all grown up and he is very attracted to the man. But not only will he have to see if the man is at least bi but could be interested in Derek’s lifestyle.
The characters are all so interesting, I think Jules stole my heart though and I can’t wait for his story. There is a lot going on and the story is fast paced and interesting.
I will say though that I loved the narration and think Kenneth Obi brought this story and all the characters to life. He always adds so much excitement and really amps up the sex scenes. I adored his voice for Jules.
If you have been kinda interested in a bit of kink, some bondage, a little bit of littles and age play this is a nice soft intro.
If you like age-gap, age play, switches, gay for you, coming out and a good, sweet romance with kink this is for you!

A great age gap and light kink

I tried to enjoy this book. I really gave it until the last 45 minutes when I just knew that this book didn't do it for me. I'm sure others will love it, unfortunately not I. Kenneth Obi was its saving grace for me.

I really tried
