In My Daddy is A Handsome Prince, Julian is a poor, down-on-his-luck coffee-shop boy who barely makes enough to pay his rent. One day, he meets a handsome mysterious stranger called Prince Adrien, who sweeps him off his feet and whisks him away to a world of wealth and power, passion and romance, secrets and intrigue.
But when an assassin’s bullet narrowly misses the prince, they find themselves on the run. From the penthouses of New York City, to the glittering old wealth of Paris to the sunny tropics of St. Lucia, the couple try to get one step ahead of death as they embark on an exciting escape.
Written in the style of a raunchy, sexy and steamy Jackie Collins novel, this story will surely arouse and excite you while keeping you in suspense.
Oh, I'm so sad panda :( For the first half I thought this was a delightful farce. I am totally up for some m/m piss-taking.
Julian is a minimum-wage slave, but luckily he has a rich lover, Prince Adrien: a huge "gorilla-like alpha male" real estate mogul with an "ebony anaconda tattoo on his bicep" that glistens under sunlight.
Adrien is totally Julian's type. "Just the mere combination of his wealth, fame, status, hot body, beautiful face, tall stature and gentle touch made me want to come, let alone the physical expression of our love."
And it's totes serious, you guys! "Adrien had announced to his father, the King, that he would not get married for a while (for homosexual reasons)."
They have hot sex that is hot.
"I wanted to yell out, “Fuck me hard, Your Royal Highness. Fuck your gay lover!” But I didn’t.
He thrust hard, his condom-wrapped penis tickling all the sensitive nerve endings of my aching anus. . . . The sensation was so indescribably good - like a hot cup of cocoa on a winter day, or a glass of ice cold water on a summer day . . . His royal cum exploded from his engorged seven-inch penis, hitting me in the face . . . He smiled, his beautiful green eyes boring into mine. “You like?” “Me love!” I declared, enamored with the beautiful man who was making sweet gay love to me."
The delights of teh sex are supported by an evocative writing style:
"The phone started to ring, screaming incessantly in its high-toned pitch. Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!"
I was truly going to recommend this to every single one of my friends. Genius!
Sadly, half-way through it starts to take itself all serious-like, and introduces an actual plot. I cannot convey the depth of my sense of disappointment.
My three four stars are for my continual happy-face and chuckling for the first half.
I have no words other than this book is best enjoyed out loud with a girlfriend and a lot of alcohol, bcause I can't even begin to describe the absurdity.
In fact, I'll just let Julian describe the absurdity for me. For example: "On the evening of our first date, we ended up going at it like woodchucks. When he told me he was a prince, the sex got even hotter."
Maybe even badger-level hot?! What level did it get to when he informed you he's also a bodybuilder-slash-real estate mogul? Or when he found your "gay g-spot"?
And my personal favorite: "I knew the exact location of his six strands of chest hair and that they would tickle me when I inhaled."
Bwahahahahahahaha.
I will say this for it - I laughed until I cried. Many times.
It says at the beginning that this is the gay equivalent of a Jackie Collins novel. I've never read any Jackie Collins before but my aunt surely has a chestful of her books so I'm gonna go and take one hostage because this story you guys.
This is like something you and your girlfriends come up with during girls' night when you take out the biggest wine glass and just pour and pour and pour. It starts off as a joke, you know, like, "Why don't we write some fanfic seeing as we all of us are brilliant expert gay porn readers with a vast collection of Class Comics left behind by some military guy who used to live in our apartment?"
So, hammered and giggling and inspired by some heinous 80s disco music, you craft the most ridiculous tale of a 21-year-old superficial gold-digging horndog getting it on with a muscular filthy rich literal prince 18 years his senior. They have daddy-boy sex, there's a whiff of a plot, you put in the word gay to describe pretty much everything (gay g-spot, gay lover, gay heaven, gay sex, gay relationship), and you tack in a cliff hanger 'cause the wine has run out.
Because these lines:
These lines are not something you write sober.
Suffice it to say, this is one of those things that are so indescribably bad, they're good.
1-star rating if you consider the writing, plot, character development, and all the other pesky little details that make a good book. But for sheer dumb unapologetic fun, this gets 4 stars, baby! And a guaranteed reread anytime I have perv friends over.
I can say with all honestly to the best of my memory this is the absolute worst thing I've ever read. No proofreader and if that wasn't bad enough sweet Jesus this is god-motherfuckin-awful. BUT, if you want a synopsis.
Gay boy meets his gay daddy who is a gay lover who fucks like a gentle gay lover who hits his gay g-spot and refuses to marry (for homosexual reasons) who likes gay diners and wants to be a gay Prince and his brother who is abslutely not gay (he likes fast cars, luxurious condos, and fucking really hot girls) will disappoint his country and peoples. Some freshly-fired bullets (from the bullets that just went through the window in case we didn't know they were just shot) appear in the story like MAGIC and then the story takes an acid trip and makes even less sense. It's epic bad.
But, hey, it's free and 26 pages. So, you should totally read it.
My Daddy is a Handsome Prince, Volume 1 is an affront to good literature, but the writing made me laugh my ass off the entire time (it was terrible, but endlessly quote-worthy).
Just beware: in the author's attempt to milk this for all it's worth, there's a totally nonsensical cliffhanger at the end.
Fairly cheesy, but I knew that before I started reading. Huge cliffy at the end. And even though book #1 is a freebie, book #2 is not :( Now I'll never know what happens to Prince Adrien!
Worth reading at least once, if only for the laughs.
The main character is an insufferable little twit whose first thought when hearing his lover's father is going to die is that he's going to be screwing a king. He has the emotional maturity of a concussed six year old and seems obsessed with using the word 'gay' to describe everything.
Except boobs. He doesn't like those.
The prince referred to in the title is...muscular. Oh, and is as much wish-fufilment as you can get. He's a cardboard cut-out with a cock. Why he's with the twit, I don't know.
Apart from that, and the gratuitous use of the word 'rape' to mean rough sex, this book is actually quite fabulous. So bad it's gone all the way round to good, at least if seen as parody.
Sex, sex, sex. I mean, it's OK, but not more than a bit. This is just a fantasy. So good to be true. If you're looking for an erotic story (and nothing else), this might be your book.
Oh! Spanish translation is not as well as it should be.
This book is ridiculous!!! I tried to read it but failed. It starts with a sex scene between our protagonists, that is for laughs. If the author was trying for hot sex, he failed. I also found the number of use of the word "gay" hilarious. Julian was having gay sex, with his gay lover, with whom he was having a daddy-son gay relationship (pause to a monologue from Julian explaining what can be considered as a daddy-son gay relationship) while said lover was searching for Julian's gay g-spot. The scene is about two guys having sex, I think it's safe to say there's a possibility they might be gay. And as for "It was nighttime in New York City, but Andrian's smile always brightened everything up. It always made me feel that it was a sanny day." , it made me think of this: I wouldn't recommend that book.
First chapter starts with Julian (21) and his boyfriend Adrien (37) having sex and then: "Getting raped by a hot guy is a huge turn-on for me. There’s nothing like being pinned down by a huge, sweaty, gorilla-like alpha male and being ravaged and fucked by him, especially when he was a tall 6’1 athletic bodybuilder/real estate mogul."
What? Why?
I've no idea why author used word "raped" when no one was being raped, both men just had sex (not rough or "rape" fantasy sex)
Probably there are people who have fantasies of being raped by gorgeous man/woman. Fine.
Using word "rape" so carelessly- no. Turn-off for me.
There are other things that I had problems with but I'm too lazy to write them down and kill my time with this story more than I've already done.
I received this book for free in return for an honest review.
The blurb seem longer that the 3 chapters we got. The sex was hot, there is no doubt about it, and the writing is not bad either. The over use of the word gay really annoyed me. You can read some example on Yoshi´s review. And last but not least, I was not expecting this: A Message from the Author: I hope you have enjoyed reading this book. The story continues in volume 2. You either share a book or you dont...
Read this one for free online. To be honest, I didn't like it all that much. Way too much word repetition of the word 'gay' and blatant misuse of the word 'rape' in the first chapter. That really put me off this story. (The characters were having rough sex, no one was being raped.) The whole thing just seemed very childishly written and felt at times like a parody. =/
I will say there does seem to be some potential in this story...but it could use a heavy rewrite.
Every time the book mentions the kingdom of Protesia, I'm thinking kingdom of Protease, or kingdom of Prostate, or maybe the kingdom of Protests.
Then they mention the planes, which are called Protesia 1 and Protesia 2 and are for the kingdoms' rulers, and I start to wonder if Obama and Michelle flies in airplanes called America 1 and America 2 respectively...
Too irritating to finish. I already know that they are gay I don't need to keep reading it over and over and over again....ie: gay lover, gay g-spot, etc.etc.etc. ad nauseum. :-(
I did not make it past chapter one. ..If I kept reading my gay lover or gay sex I was gonna explode. The lovers are men yes! Great even! But it sounds trite and shame on the author for making it that way for me. I don't know if they have a HEA and right now I hope not because if the sex can't turn me on from reading it or just makes me feel content then I wasted my time. I don't write erotic scenes well either but this really was too clinical. Please edit this. I hate leaving a one star because the plot sounded great but there was no feeling for me with this.
I wish more authors would advise when there's a cliffhanger. It's frustrating to read and start getting to an interesting point and then realize you will have to purchase additional books. In this case the next book only has 21 pages. It's ridiculous. Series are sometimes a continuation or about different characters in the same world or location so that doesn't give you a heads up.
The moment the narrator mentioned becoming arroused at the thought of "being raped," I was ready to quit... then a couple pages later, thinking of female parts to lose their erection during sex. I'm out!
I read this book as a request from a friend telling me I should dip my foot in the world of m/m I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that I could enjoy such a male male story. I must say that the sex scene might do it for a gay guy but as a straight women......
About the story it self I kept thinking hmmm the age difference was too much he was 21 and he was 37-38. But I'm guessing that's why the whole daddy/son roles they had going turned them on so much. The kid was kind of in need of a sugardaddy and he got that in form of the prince He did say that once he learned that "daddy" was a prince then the sex got better. Hmmm. Don't get me wrong I liked the book just not the kid. He talks about how much he loves the prince because the prince always thinks of others and then he talks about wanting him for him self. I was really on the edge when the whole shooting started. He was wearing a bulletproof west but it still left me feeling "give me the god damn sequel!!!"
About the writing style The author did a great job in capturing the readers attention. It was an easy read. But the word gay came up too many times Gay lover Gay sex Gay this and that. Maybe it is necessary for some people to be reminded of the story being about two males and not boy/girl. But I didn't need that reminder.
I'm looking forward to seeing what/when the next book in this series.
I had some real issues with this book that really mirror the other reviews (which I didn't read before reading the book) The use of the word 'rape' is totally misplaced and inappropriate for the situation. There were actually a few moments when I found the wrong word being used. Also the heavy over-use of the word 'gay' for absolutely everything.
I read this in one sitting, but I'm a little disappointed. The story has merit for a real novel but it's wasted on a short story in volumes. I'm also not a fan of the style of writing. The story needs a heck of a lot of editing, and doesn't feel satisfying in terms of plot/character and dare-I-say the sex. I've read better, but it's good for what it is. But it could be fantastic.
I have a hard time with stories that the one guys is gay while its convienent. In this case the prince has wrapped Julian around his little finger and made him fall in love with him, but when the time comes he will cut off Julian completely and marry a woman and be faithful to her and her alone. Such bullshit! Anyways, this is a story that leaves you hanging unless you purchase the next one to find out what happens. I have to say that although it wasn't a favorite of mine, I do like the authors writing.
I have to agree with all the others, this book is only readable while being drunk or high. Unfortunately, I was neither so I didn't enjoy it much. Just ridiculous and badly written with every cliche that wasn't fast enough to run away.
Not sure, cuz it sounds ridiculously stupid in a "...are these people serious...?" sort of way. However, mayhaps I will one day be up for it. Just got to keep reminding myself to read it as if it were a parody, though, prolly...
This is meant to be a parody, is it not? A funny lampooning of all those silly M/M erotic romances with absurd plots and cardboard characters... As such -and as a freebie- it could make some sense. Perhaps.
Julian works as a coffee boy, Adrain is a Prince. When their two worlds collide after a coffee incident sparks will fly. Julian may have it easy but Adrain now has to try and stay alive long enough to become king.
I actually really enjoyed this. Basically overlook the less than stellar writing and the fact that "gay" is used overmuch and you'll be fine. I actually got to the end and wanted to read more.
