Dear Daddy, Please Praise Me

Written by Amy Bellows and Luna David

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

This was okay. I think that if I had read this I would have enjoyed it more. It was definitely very fast paced maybe a bit too much for me but I did like the bones of this. Unfortunately the narrator was just not good. He seems like maybe he’s new? He emphasized words that would have sounded better not emphasized, he had no different voices or even inflections for characters. I think he has potential though, he has a nice voice and hopefully will be great one day.

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.

I've liked all this little series and it doesn't have to be read in order. Each book is written by a different author, and all feature a "Little" who has to write a letter to Santa asking him to bring a "Daddy" for Christmas. The Daddy's read the letters on the Club's website and if interested in meeting the "Little" asks the question "Have you been naughty or nice". The response plays a big part in if the Daddy and the Little will correspond anymore or even if they will meet. Of course, the books feature those that do respond the way that each were hoping for. The books can best be described as "Cute and fluffy". Sanders and Briggs were absolutely perfect together. The first half of the book may not be for all reader as it has a lot of sadness because of what Sanders was going through with his mother, and his experiences of low self-esteem. In spite of that, the story isn't high angst by any means, it just has a lot of hurt/comfort, but in a really good way. I am a sucker for a shy boy and a gentle Daddy, and these two were diffidently it. Overall...it's the story of two men taking a chance and making a connection just in time for Christmas. It does play with kink but also with exploring what makes a relationship satisfying. As I said before...there is no real conflict just lots of love.
