Jude
I shoot my mouth off and hide behind my smile as I try—and fail—to fill the void inside. Nothing has felt right since I was medically discharged from the army. Can there be more to life than a dead-end job and meaningless hook-ups?
Kasper
I didn’t expect to win a Cuffd Destinations holiday, let alone meet a sexy guy who’s fun to be around. Jude doesn’t think he’s a Daddy, but I’m going to prove him wrong. Who knows what we might discover along the way?
Crazy Little Thing Cold Love is part of the Destination Daddies Season Two multi-author series. It features an emotionally scarred army veteran, a bubbly boy who sees the world in a unique way, summer snow, lots of steam, and a happy ending. Each book can be read as a standalone, but there are so many destinations and Daddies to discover, why not grab them all?
Trigger warning for mentions of PTSD, flashbacks, and nightmares.

Sweet and sexy!
I used to think that I didn’t enjoy Daddy Kink books but then a few of my favorite authors started writing them and I’ve pretty much become converted. 😊 Crazy Little Thing Cold Love is part of the Destination Daddies, Season Two series but it is also a standalone story. Fans of Colette Davison’s writing may recognize a few of the characters in this book but you don’t need to have read their stories to enjoy this one.
My headline for this review says sweet and sexy because Kasper is such a sweet character, as is Jude at times, but both of them enjoy testing each other’s limits during their sexy time. Jude never saw himself as a Daddy but Kasper did almost right from the first time they met. Once Jude decides to embrace his Daddy side the two of them have a wonderful adventure together.
Jude is afraid that his PTSD will ruin everything; he can’t even spend the night with Kasper. But Kasper isn’t put off by that at all. He’s able to cope with Jude’s problem and even help him through it when he has a flashback.
I love the author’s descriptive writing, especially in this book. If she hasn’t been to Austria then I’m sure she did a ton of research. The trip that Jude and Kasper took through Nature’s Ice Palace was fascinating and even though I’m not at all a fan of the cold, I think it would be wonderful to visit there.

I found a spare stool at the bar and ordered a drink. It took me about thirty seconds to notice I was sitting next to a muscly guy with blond hair and bright blue eyes. He had his back to the wall while nursing a tumbler of scotch on the rocks as he surveyed the room. He was Hollywood’s definition of gorgeous. Not that it would matter if he didn’t have a personality to match his roguish good looks and body builder-scale muscles. I hadn’t talked to him yet, which meant another twizzle stick was about to be mine.
“Hi,” I said, gesturing towards his lanyard. “I’m mint leaves, and you are…?”
“Light rum.”
Flashes of hot pink ignited at the edges of my vision, dominating the other colours already dancing there. The colour of his voice was beautiful, which was a good start.
“Really? That means that together, we’re a mojito.”
The man laughed. “I think we’re missing a few ingredients.” Vibrant pink swirled and undulated with the rhythm of his words.
“Maybe a mojito in potential?”
He laughed louder while I motioned to the barman.
“Light rum and mint leaves,” I told him.
He nodded, checked off our combination on a list, and gave us a twizzle stick. Twenty-four. I had more than hot-pink guy.
“How come you’re not mixing?” I asked.
“I’m talking to you, aren’t I?”
It was my turn to laugh. “Now you are, but you were alone when I came over.”
“I needed a breather.”
“Yeah, me too.” I turned around to face away from the bar and leant against it. I’m Kasper, by the way.” I held my hand out.
“Jude.”

Cover Reveal / Giveaway: Just A Number by Fifi Flowers
Cover RevealsThey were all just a number. Dash Oliver and Willow Dane both shared the same philosophy. That is, until a merger of sorts. Thrown together by fate or serendipity, was their connection... their chemistry... their compatibility enough to convince them that their rules were made to be broken and that they belonged together?

Review: Spoons by Ev Bishop
Contemporary RomanceWhen exactly had she become such a big bitch? Ah, who was she kidding? She knew when. Could trace it to the exact date and time practically. It was like her heart had shriveled that night and had never fully recovered. But what could she do about it? Nothing at all—or so the passage of time suggested anyway.
