A Stealthy Situation by Saxon James
4.0
Back at FU for a fun and unexpectedly sweet romance between a hot plant daddy and a grumpy DIK.
Harrison Dunn is the biggest plant daddy I’ve ever read but his dedication and commitment to helping with plant conservation is absolutely endearing. His plants and his work mean so much to him and that passion is apparent in so many parts of his life. Harrison is open and accepting and has the biggest, sweetest heart - he genuinely wants to get to know people and takes care of those that mean the most to him. He’s observant with both his plants and the people in his life, something that really pays off when it comes to his new stats buddy: Benny Dalton.
Bennett (Benny) Dalton is a fraternity bro, insistent on having fun and stepping away from the hockey playing legacy that bogged him and his twin brother down for so long before college. He wants to be a hockey sports journalist but isn’t so great at math, so he and his twin Emmett have been switching places to cover their subjects for years, meaning no one in CA knows there’s two of them. Benny is grumpy, full of sarcasm and dark humor and loves to flirt but underneath that confident exterior is someone who wants to be loved and accepted for who he is.
These two meet in such an awkward way but click from that first moment, though I was waiting for the other shoe to drop on Bennett and Emmett’s deception for a long time. I’m glad it didn’t completely blow up in everyone’s faces. Benny and Harrison’s connection is so genuine - it caught them both off guard but they work so well together. Their cockiness is matched and they support each other in perfect ways to give them what they need. The plant daddy and the frat bro is a combination I didn’t know I needed, but Harrison and Benny made me smile and root for them the whole time.
Though, after all the build-up of Harrison meeting the Dalton family, I was really disappointed when that all happened off page. As a fan of the CU Hockey series, I would have LOVED to see Harrison with West, Jasper, Asher and Kole and that omission left me feeling like there were missing chapters where both Benny and Harrison met the families.
But, as always with Saxon’s books, I had so much fun reading this and flew through it! Really looking forward to Em’s book to see how his story ends up playing out. Definitely recommend picking this up if you’re looking for something light and funny this summer!
