Blurb
After taking early retirement, Liam is happy avoiding people and tending to his roses. Or he was, until young film star Felix moves in next door.
With his cheeky, persistent, and very naughty behaviour, Felix gets under Liam’s skin instantly.
Felix needs Liam to teach him how to behave, but will calling the older man Daddy be enough to bring sunshine into Liam’s life?
A boy Made of Sunshine is a standalone gay romance, with mild D/s play, Daddy kink, a cute Dalmatian puppy, a ridiculous glow in the dark toy, and lots of brattish behaviour.
Felix is so lovable, and you will laugh at his antics. Together with his dog, he soon begins to make sure that his neighbour knows he is there, as he has seen his neighbour, and that man ticks all his boxes. Misbehaving seems to be one way that Felix can get Liam to take notice of him!!
Now Liam.... he is one grumpy man, and this seems to be his way. However, the more time we spend with him, the more we learn about him, and soon know that he is really lonely, and to me he seem afraid to trust his instinct and drop some of his barriers.
It is soon apparent though, that Felix is not happy, and he has brought his house to try and recharge his batteries, and also his mind.. He soon knows that he has to take a good hard long look at his life, and see exactly what he wants to do with it, and if necessary make some changes.
This book was actually thought provoking to me, as it made me stop and think about things and then look at my life and see where it was taking me, and if I needed to change things. It has been a while since a book has done this to me.
Excerpt
When a removal van finally arrived in the first week of summer, Liam’s hopes that his quiet existence would continue undisturbed were dashed.
He’d never regarded himself as a curtain twitcher before, but he found himself peering out of his bedroom window as three burly men unloaded the large van. The furniture didn’t scream ‘quiet retired couple’ to him. It was too modern, too loud. Who on earth owned a bright purple sofa, for crying out loud? The bed was even worse. It was a huge monstrosity, easily king-sized, and Liam couldn’t help but feel sorry for the men carrying it into the house. The bed frame was black, probably made of leather, judging by the way the sunlight made the fabric shine, with a massive surround, part of which looked like some kind of lounge chair. Did it even have a built-in speaker? Who needed a built-in speaker in their bed?
His jaw dropped a little more at every item of furniture that was brought into the house. The coffee table looked like it doubled as an aquarium, although thankfully there were no fish in it. There was a bookcase in the shape of a dog, a dining table with what looked like a solid marble top, overstuffed dining chairs, a pool table, and even a bar!
The painting was the last straw.
The canvas and frame combined must have been six feet tall, making the man that had been painted upon it almost life size. Not only was he nude, but he was grasping his cock, his head tilted back slightly, eyes closed, making it obvious that he was in the midst of pleasuring himself. Liam had never been so glad to have no other neighbours. The painting was glorious—he had to adjust himself to make his aching cock more comfortable in his pants—but why in God’s name hadn’t it been covered up? Clearly, his new neighbour had no decorum whatsoever.
