Intoxicating

3.5The short and sweet is that if you're looking for a well polished, modern Daddy story, you'll be well served by [b:Intoxicating 46393099 Intoxicating Onley James https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1561220625l/46393099.SY75.jpg 71422284]. I liked it, I just didn't love it, but ... maybe I was just being pissy. This is the story of a ‘poor little rich boy', unloved, and uncared for by his father & mother. His father is a Senator from Florida, a member of the religious right, who's up for re-election. His 22 y.o. son Wyatt is nothing but a source of embarrassment, being gay and all, which prompts the Senator to hire a ‘minder' for Wyatt. Lincoln Hudson, a Marine recently returned from tours of duty in the Middle East, is the third try. It turns out that he and Wyatt are a perfect fit. Wyatt has needs and Lincoln wants to care of ALL of them. I think my problem was that I felt like this was more the result of good market research rather than a story that lived in the author's heart. We have:virgincuttingmake-up wearing boy who wants to do YouTube tutorialsreturning soldier with PTSD, and flashback nightmaresreligious conversion camps, the hypocrisy & horror of themsexual kink, in this case Daddy/baby boy etc.Surely I'm wrong, and I do understand that ultimately this is a business, but it just left me a bit blah. On the other hand I would be interested in Linc's boss Jackson, and the adventures of Wyatt's girlfriend Charlie, she's a hoot. Maybe I'll revisit this and like it more. :D
