Hugh
Having spent more than twenty years as an emergency medicine physician in war zones around the world, I barely have a home to speak of. A daughter I didn’t know about has died and left a child behind, so I must get to Gaynor Beach, California to claim my granddaughter. Her temporary guardian is the first man to spark my interest in a very long time, but it would be inappropriate for me to have a relationship with this much-younger man.
Oscar
Gutted by my best friend’s death, I take solace in the daughter she left in my guardianship. I’ll protect this precious baby with all I have, and no one is going to take her away from me—least of all the man who turns up on our doorstep claiming to be her grandfather. Despite the resemblance, I plan to keep him at arm’s length. I’m going to show him how capable I am. But I might also lose my heart in the process.
This is an 85k word, hurt/comfort, interracial, age-gap, MM romance novel with a moderate amount of angst.

A great single dad story!
I’ve loved every book I’ve ready by Gabbi Grey and Hugh is no exception. I think it’s a bit longer than the other books I’ve read by her so she really had time to explore the characters and the circumstances that brought them together.
There’s a significant age-gap between Hugh and Oscar but I like that this fact wasn’t beat to death in the story. I liked how dedicated Oscar is to Marilee and also how quickly Hugh became devoted to her. The story puts this little family through quite a bit before they get their HEA but I didn’t feel like it was overly angsty.
The cast of secondary characters includes a teddy bear of a dog named Hemingway that Oscar rescued, a grandmotherly babysitter, Oscar’s family and a not-so-nice social worker named Anthony. I love it when a character finds redemption so I was very happy to learn that Anthony will get his own book in this series. I’m very much looking forward to reading it.
