✨ I received a complimentary audio copy of this book from Gay Book Promotions to read and review. In the end, I think it may have been the thing that made each man realize, they were perfect the way they were, and their life as a couple “worked perfectly for them.” The Story: 4.00 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Narration: 3.50 🌟🌟🌟. I loved how the adage, “absence makes the heart grow fonder” came to mind each time Daddy Theodore was away from his boy, Sam. However, the characters themselves crafted by Davison and her muse were so multilayered you had to listen intently, or you might miss one of the unveilings of each MC’s character evolution as the story developed and the characters’ most sincere forms were revealed. The hurt/ comfort theme played a role in that too. Calley’s style in ABMS was lighter and airier, leaning more towards the rom-com spectrum while this audiobook painted a more serious picture, at least for me. I first heard Calley in “A Boy Made of Sunshine,” also authored by Davison. At least the audio version is, and that has a lot to do with the stylistic narration of Dan Calley. hiding among all the stuffed animals? “What Works for Us,” is on the more serious shelf of Davison’s library. However, can that really be the case when there is such a big age difference in them? Worst of all, can they make it to a HEA when one of them is so deep in the closet he looks like E.T. What Works for Us MMy Thoughts and Review: When a sweet elf gets auctioned off at a charity to his morning crush from the coffee shop where he serves as a barista, he thinks maybe all his Christmas dreams might just come true.

What Works For Us is a Christmas-ish romance with an age-gap relationship, lacy underwear, role-play, Daddy kink, a smidge of hurt/comfort, and a guaranteed happy ending.

Wearing a sexy costume allows him to be a much flirtier version of himself, but can a naughty elf tempt Theodore into bed?Īs their relationship intensifies, Sam finds something in Theodore he didn’t realize he needed: a man he wants to call his Daddy.īut Theodore isn’t out of the closet, and whilst Sam is happy existing in a bubble in the run up to Christmas, he knows that can’t last forever.Ĭan Sam risk giving his heart to a Daddy who might not ever be able to hold his hand in public, let alone commit to him?

Unfortunately, Sam isn’t the most forward person when it comes to telling men he likes them. Theodore is everything Sam is looking for in a man: older, authoritative, and caring. When sweet barista, Sam, agrees to be a 'slave' in a Christmas charity auction, he’s thrilled to be bought by the man he’s had a crush on for the last three months. An elf costume, a pair of lacy knickers, and a Christmas charity auction might make Sam’s Christmas wish come true.
