this was just soooooo boring! that's it. that's my notes. but really, the kid was adorable. there were a few sweet moments, but largely, nothing happens and none of it matters and the love interests refuse to talk to one another about anything which is so fucking frustrating and i just did not enjoy like any of it. even the smut was boring. and there was no chemistry to speak of, and also i normally like an age gap, but it just felt bad here. a 19 year old catching feelings for a 27 year old is fine, and even the older guy wanting to fuck the younger guy i get. but the story essentially treats it like a non-issue aside from a few comments, and that totally removed the taboo from it and just made them both seem like idiots. whatever!!!
Description:
When Canadian figure skater Jeff Skinner wrecked his knee, he never could have imagined that he'd end up helping pay his way through college as a live-in babysitter for Eric Staal's three-year-old son, Joey.
