Geo never expects romance with a celebrity whose “six-pack had motherfucking shadows.” Professional baseball pitcher, Travis, was once a foster child himself, and insists on a contract that allows him to join the camp his family owns for one week annually. So, Geo brings the children to Family Camp, to relax and have fun. Too often he’s seen Lucy with “her little face…pinched up, eyes screwed shut, mouth gaping like a portal to hell,” and wants to earn her trust. This first installment in Easton’s new Daddy Dearest series features Geo, a gay middle-school teacher who has just fostered a young girl (Lucy) and a pre-teen boy (Jayden), with plans to adopt. But Family Camp is a huge accomplishment, since I adored it even though I personally hated camp and chose not to be a parent. Any author who writes quality fiction in multiple genres will wow me. Expect laughs, sweet and sexy slow-burn romance, and lots of family feels!Įli Easton’s current novel, Family Camp, was preceded by her exquisite drama documenting the aftermath of a school shooting, Boy Shattered, and before that her delightful western, Robby Riverton: Mail Order Bride. The Daddy Dearest series will consist of stand-alone contemporary novels focusing on single gay dads who find hot romance. But will this be a summer romance? Or can they find a way to be a family long after Family Camp is over? Having been a foster kid himself, Travis is drawn to Geo’s sincerity and big heart and to his kids. Sparks fly for Geo and Travis, and not because of the nightly campfire. But one sweet and funny new dad is about to test all his resolve. His profession demands he stay in the closet. He has one rule: never, ever mess around with anyone at camp. As a pro baseball player, his presence guarantees a full campground and excited campers. Travis spends a week every year at Camp Evermore, the camp his adoptive parents own.
What he doesn’t anticipate is the prickly and gorgeous camp counselor who constantly comes to his rescue. He’s tried to become a dad for so long, and he hopes the three of them can be the family he’s always wanted.
When Geo signs up for Family Camp, he envisions nature hikes, s’mores, and a chance to win over his recalcitrant new foster kids, Jayden and Lucy.
