Publisher's Summary

Davey’s rule number 91: Daddy never loses faith in his boy.

Bryan Miller is satisfied with his uncomplicated life. He’s a discipline daddy who’s not in the market for any kind of permanent relationship. And why should he be? Like the waves he surfs in the small beach town he calls home, there’s always another body available to warm his bed when he tires of the current flavor of the week. 

Preston Wallace is a snotty rich brat with enough attitude to keep all the daddies from giving him a chance. He gets it. People are jealous of him for being rich, hot, and fit. It would take a strong daddy to take him in hand. 

A casual conversation on the night of Preston’s 25th birthday ties these two stubborn men together in a bet right out of the musical My Fair Lady. Can daddy Bryan turn the obnoxious brat into a dateable boy within a 90-day time frame?

Strap in for a roller coaster of emotions as Bryan takes firm control of a brat who might just need to know someone cares enough to try. 

This is the second book in Davey's Rules, a series about not-so-perfect daddies, adorable boys, and one sassy brat with an insane list of rules. Grab your fan and tissues because this series comes with both a high heat advisory and all the squishy feels you’d want from a Susan Hawke book. Possible trigger for the death of a background character.

Emotional, heartbreaking & heartwarming!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 stars

🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 Narration: 5

Oh, my heart! Emotional, heartbreaking and heartwarming, I loved this book!!!

I knew there had to be more to Preston and my heart just broke for him. I spent almost this entire book on the edge of tears for the sad neglect of Preston and his life, family, and sweet naivete at every turn. I felt for his longing and desire for love and understanding. I loved to watch his growth and while there was the trademark Susan wit and humor the core of this book was very emotional.

A beloved secondary character passes away and my heart broke, I cried with the characters and their families. Susi’s writing is so emotionally connected to the real world you can’t help but fall for her characters and feel their emotions and grieve when they grieve. I don’t know if I’m in a particular emotional state or this book was just that powerful for me but loved the true emotion, grief, and healing that occurs throughout this book. The collection of characters created are perfect together and I admit I fall more in love with Davey as the stories go on. Susan’s got her work cut out for her to find/create the perfect’ Daddy for our sassy Davey.

I enjoyed more of Daddy Bryan in this story and found him different from what I expected. I felt he didn’t change his brusque ways but did slowly soften to Preston, or at least tried to understand him more. I loved Preston sassy and naivete in everything that he did and loved watching him ‘grow up’. This was a great (yet emotional story), with wonderful characters, a fair amount of grief and just as much love. I really loved it and think it will stay in my heart for quite a while. Hats off to you Susi, I love your work!!

Thanks for reading!
