Publisher's summary

I’m just playing with you, Danny.

Danny has been harboring a secret crush on his dad’s best friend for years, and when he finds himself helping Jordan with some late night filing, things quickly take a turn for the interesting.

I’m starving, Little Boy.

Jordan should know better, but he can’t tell Danny no. One night turns into two, and two turns into more. Before either man knows it, they’re in a serious - and secret - relationship.

You always belong with me. You always belong to me.

Danny is across the country for school, and his mother’s goal in life is to set Jordan up with one of her friends. Tension and expectations are pulling them apart. One grand gesture gone wrong leaves their secrets in the open where they must face the repercussions and the cost of desire.

I’m going to make sure you know how much I love you.

MM/age gap romance

I really enjoyed this MM/age gap romance. A story of fighting for the one you love, the one you believe in, and following your heart. Even if that love is your best friend’s son/your father’s best friend. I loved both Jordan and Danny. They were so good together!
A sweet and steamy story. Great narration too!

I was gifted a free copy of this audiobook, this is my honest opinion.

Daddy Jordan

The Secrets in Edgewood is one of my favorite series of this author’s and I couldn’t have been more excited when these were going to audio. Christopher Rourke was a new to me narrator going into this series and I’m enjoying his narrations so far. He did a great job bringing Daddy Jordan and Danny to life for me. His Daddy Jordan voice was just so perfect, he drew me into their story. I love a good Daddy story when it’s done well, and this one really hit the mark for me. I’m also a sucker for college age, so their story was a must read from the start. I love the care aspect of the Daddy dynamic and Daddy Jordan definitely took care of his boy Danny. It was super hot, filthy, naughty, yet romantic and sweet and I loved every minute of it. The chemistry and dynamic these two had was fantastic. This is dirty sweetness at its finest!

Fantastic!!

Danny has had a crush on his dad’s best friend and business partner. Jordan has an attraction for Danny. They have a steamy encounter one night that quickly leads to more. They navigate their way thru Danny moving on to college and Danny’s mother trying to set Jordan up with her friend, but continue their affair that quickly grows to love. This was fantastic, sooo freaking good. Super steamy and sexy right from the beginning. Christopher Rourke did a fantastic job with the narration!!

Danny didn’t mean to fall in love.

Danny & Jordan are always a fun read. It was great to revisit them in audio this time. This is a wonderfully naughty dad’s best friend age gap book. Jordan is all kinds of sexy and in charge. A perfect mix with Danny’s sweet curiosity. I love the chemistry between these two. What started as an illicit affair turns into so much more as Danny & Jordan unexpectedly fall for each other in the midst of just having some fun. Danny is off to college, and having a secret attachment at home is not easy. Back home Jordan is steady at work, struggling with his boy being away and friends wanting to play matchmaker. The distance is hard, but they are better for it, as Danny has the space to grow into himself. Their love comes at a steep cost in many ways but in the end having each other is worth everything.

Can't wait for the next

Another great add to the series. These two together are hot, sexy, sweet and a crazy amount of chemistry devouring each other. Loved this as a ebook and the audio was so much better bringing them to life. Great flow and tone for each character and I can't wait for the next.

A sweet opposites attract, age gap romance!

This was such a sweet age gap, opposites attract romance!

Danny has had a crush on Jordan for long as he can remember.
He knows his attraction is forbidden, but one chance encounter with the man of his dreams leaves him reeling and drawing him back for more.

Danny and Jordan want different things from life. Will the attraction between them be able to withstand the obstacles that life throws at them?
Can they keep their relationship under wraps lobg enough to figure out what they want?

Christopher Rourke's narration and audio delivery was superb and so apt for this.

Fantastic

Daddy Jordan and his boy Danny are an absolutely amazing read. Hot and steamy scenes mixed with sweet and loving moments - the daddy kink adds the spice. I like the hidden lovers theme with the drama it supplied to the story.
Christopher Rourke  does a fantastic job as Narrator.  Smooth recording and enjoyable voice performance.  Loved it!
