Dear Daddy, Please Praise Me

Written by Luna David and Amy Bellows

Narrated by Tristan James

Dear Santa, I want a Daddy who will take care of me . . .

Sanders doesn't believe he'll actually find a Daddy through a dating app. He's not much to look at, and his life is a mess. A Daddy would never be interested in someone like him. But he's lonely.

He hasn't been kissed for three long years.

Briggs moved to the small tourist town of Red Canyon, Utah, to get away from his fast-paced life in Chicago. But he also moved away from most of his dating prospects. Downloading a dating app seems like an obvious choice. The boy he messages is sweet, nervous, and drinks up every word of praise Briggs gives him. But he's too nervous to meet face to face, claiming that Briggs won't like him as much in person.

How can Briggs convince his boy that he's everything a Daddy could ask for?

Contains mature themes.

Reviews for Dear Daddy, Please Praise Me

[Aviana · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Sweet and adorable fluff. One's a cute, adorable mess of insecurities while the other is sweet and understanding. They were really cute together. I wasn't a fan of the narrator and hearing the constant "awkward and adorable" with every single sentence as they texted each other was just too obnoxious to listen to. I'll definitely be hunting down the book for a bit of sweet, Christmas fluff later though.

The narrator was all wrong for this sort of book. Normally I like Tristan James but something was off about this one. It felt forced and more like narration on how to build a bookshelf less like steamy storytelling. The story itself was schmoopy and cheesy. Not really believable even with suspension of disbelief. I think with a different narrator I might have been able to overlook the schmaltz. I can't really recommend it but then again I can't really say no. Just meh.

Cute but the narrator is not great, he sounds like a game show host

It's a hot story, but the narrator reads it like it's a boring cookbook.

I've read both the ebook and audiobook of this, and I do suggest doing the ebook instead. The narrator of this is really robotic and makes the writing sound a lot more clunky than it actually is.
