Resigned to managing crises from afar, he tries to make the best of his time off, though his new co‑worker’s incompetence isn’t helping. Meanwhile, Robbie has built a peaceful, sun‑soaked life in Maui, spending his days surfing, teaching, and filming tutorials. When he notices Nova watching him from the beach, he introduces himself — only to learn Nova already knows him from his old days as a televised surf competitor. Intrigued by Nova’s quiet intensity and love of sunsets, Robbie decides to make it his mission to help the overworked man rediscover joy. With only three weeks before Nova returns to his stressful life, Robbie sets out to show him how to slow down, breathe, and let the island work its magic. I went into this book expecting a Daddy‑leaning dynamic, but what I got instead felt much closer to a standard contemporary romance. The story itself is sweet enough — the setting is lovely, the characters are likable, and the pacing is easy to follow — but the “Daddy” reference is so loose and underdeveloped that it barely registered in the narrative - maybe Nova being a middle damaged the story in some way. If you’re looking for a true Daddy/little dynamic with emotional depth or clear power‑exchange elements, this one may leave you wanting more. It reads like a perfectly ordinary vacation romance with a light sprinkle of kink terminology rather than an intentional exploration of that relationship style. A pleasant story overall, but not what I was hoping for based on the premise. This was an MM story with a little mature content. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CZP35JZ7".
