Cubs & Campfires by Dylan Drakes

4.0

Mini Book Review: This was a random read that I was influenced by my Bookstagram friends to read. It was never on my radar but as soon as I saw the cover, I knew I had to read it! It is not very often (if none at all) that there is a romance between to larger male bodies. I applaud Dylan for creating a series that will center around larger bodied males.

"If all the forest was full of sexy men, I'd still be spending my days with you, Luca Torres."

Now about the book, this book was SPICY! I have read other male/male books before and this reminded me of the ones I read by MA Wardell but also different. Some of the descriptions made me giggle such as (view spoiler). There was some plot but most of this was about Luca's lust for Artair once they met and then of course all their intimate moments. OH and this book had a bunch of funny moments that had me laughing out loud.

I love that this book took place in 2005 where internet was still barely new and cell phones weren't needed. I don't think it would have worked if it would take place in current time. This took place in the woods and was giving such a vibe as we approach the fall and made me miss hiking!!

This is a short book just under 300 pages BUT parts did feel long and I think it was because the chapters were just so LONG. My kindle at one point read 40 minutes until the next chapter - whew. That is probably my biggest issue with the book.

If you are looking for a spicy male/male romance that takes place in woods over the summer - give this a read!
