Teddy and His Bear by Lila Wilde, Andi James

5.0

I absolutely loved this story between Teddy and his Bear. It was high on emotions, love, and happiness, with some steam and some kink thrown in as well.

Teddy has had a rough life, he’s been abandoned, been alone, and now most recently his two boyfriends unexpectedly broke up with him. Teddy is staying with his friend, when Barrett steps in and offers him a place to stay. Barrett is almost 20 years older than Teddy, and has tried to stay away from kink and his Daddy-ness after his own bad breakup. But he sees the possibility of so much more with Teddy, although he does fight it at first. At first they both want friendship, but it’s so clear they’re crazy for the other.

I loved these two together, how perfect they were for each other and how they healed by being such a great couple together. It’s a very sweet story, and a bit of a slow burn. For people wanting more hardcore kink or daddy lifestyle, this might be a bit too sweet for you. But if you want a sweet story with minimal angst, definitely give this one a try.

I look forward to more from this author collab, it was great!

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.

ETA on 6/17/19 - I also really enjoyed the narrator. This is the first book I have listened to from him, and I thought his voices and mannerisms for Teddy and Barrett were great, and I loved Dylan and all of his "OH MY GOD"s. Look forward to hopefully hearing more from this narrator!
