Golden Boy

Twisted #1

by E. Davies

I asked Santa for one Daddy. He gave me three. And I fell asleep in their bed… I’m Golden, and I love staring through strangers’ windows every Christmas… but not in a weird way. I’ve just always wanted the peace and joy I see. Somewhere to belong, and someone to belong to. Then I met the three Behrs. These Daddies share everything—including their life and bed—but they almost forgot to look out for the perfect boy, too. It’s a good thing I’m on the job. Okay, it’s getting a little weird, but then again… so am I. Will I finally get showered with the warmest season’s greetings? Or will the brewing storm leave me out in the cold? Golden Boy is an MMMM romance. This spicy fairytale adaptation is set in a contemporary world. To learn more about the twist in this book, please take a look at the author's note before you dive in!

Easy to read retelling of Goldilocks and the three bears. Sweet, kinky and slow burning Christmas story❤️

Sweet As Honey

While this may be a shorter read, it packs a punch. The awkwardly adorable Golden Boy and his three Behrs will warm you up this holiday season. I honestly couldn't put my phone down! The storytelling is spellbinding, peppered with playfulness, humor, and sweet heat, but also with well-rounded characters that give enough of themselves for readers to connect with.

Content warning : There is an activity that some readers may find discomforting, which is detailed in the author's note, and I'll admit it's not something I generally enjoy reading about. However, E. Davies manages to present it in an allusiary style that doesn't diminish the impact of emotion in the scenes. I highly recommend giving this story a try. Who knows... you might discover something that titilates you!

Confused.
Contradictory.
Poorly developed.

The dialogue in this book is bad. It seems to start on the pages and continue outside of them, making sense to the author.

I didn't like the adaptation. It didn't work here. The characters have no chemistry, none of them. They look like puppets trying to tell a story without any emotion. The characters' individual stories are not told or developed. I've read books with half the chapters that this one has and which developed the characters and story better.

I finished it with the force of shudder, just because I hated starting to read a book and not finishing it. I expected more.

What did I like about this book? The Cape. I loved.

Cute, steamy Goldilocks adaptation

Golden is a sweet, socially awkward young man who dreams about a Daddy to care for and keep him.
He's working all kinds of holiday jobs to stay afloat.
One by one he meets three Behr men and is smitten with each one.
He wants them all but feels slightly greedy and selfish.
What he doesn't know is that they're all together and want him equally.
Lots of sweet, steamy moments between these three and a wonderful HEA they all most definitely deserve.

Sexy rendition of Goldielocks & the 3 Bears. Golden is just your average little looking for a Daddy ro love & care for him & maybe have a kinky side. It's the holiday season ^ hoping to drum up some extra cash he places an ad in the local paper to help hang lights or wrap gifts or maybe walk your pet. Golden gets responses & meets the Behr men one at a time & thinks each one would make a perfect Daddy. Surprise arises when he realizes all 3 are a throuple looking for a boy. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

A boy who finds three daddies for Christmas? Sign me up! Golden is a boy needing direction and guidance and is looking for just the right daddy. Jude, Star, and Nye, are three daddies who stopped looking for a long term boy thinking it was a fantasy. Christmas is the time for miracles and these four are just about to find theirs. A lovely quick Cristmas romance filled with hot chocolate, a Christmas bunny, and lots of love.

Great start to a new series!

I loved Golden Boy by E. Davies. It's the first book in the Twisted series. I loved Nye, Jude, Star, and Golden's story. I loved how Golden met each of the daddies separately while doing one of his Christmas side hustles and clicked with each one. I loved how they ended up using the original commitment rings that needed to be resized.

I read this book using the Kindle Unlimited app.

[Jaimed]

This is a cute MMMM story. A committed trio of Daddies and one super sweet boy who meets their requirements. Golden helps each realize what they have been missing over the last few years. They give him hope that he can get his heart's desire.

This book does have some golden showers, but it isn't a huge, detailed, thing. If you might be concerned about reading this I think you could read this without an issue.

I liked the story and the multiple connections that are happening in the story.

[Fernanda Parente]

Although it's not my favorite type of book, I really enjoyed this story.
The kinky part is very light, and the part where we can see the struggles in all 4 characters. The 3 dadies and the boy, Golden.
Golden is a great character, he's so funny when he tries all kind of Christmas jobs and nothing goes right except to meet the 3 dadies, Jude, Nye and Star.
It's a wonderfull Christmas tale. Highly recommended

[T Paul]

The book has an excellent lead up. I enjoyed, very much, the different perspectives as the story blossomed. This holiday treat is definitely a sweet love story that brings a smile. The warmth in the characters, their desires led to a lovely ending and a very Merry Christmas for the heroes and a happiness for the reader. I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.

Sweet story...

I adored reading Golden's story and he was adorably sweet. I felt like we could have gotten a bit more history on the 3 Behrs because I constantly felt like something was missing.

Golden wants a perfect Christmas miracle and that miracle would include a daddy, or possibly three. Jude, Nye, and Star have always wished for a boy of their own. This Christmas they will all get what they’ve always needed.

A sweet take on Christmas with Goldie and the Three Behr’s

[Joanne Mccorkell]

Cute read.
I loved that in their own ways Jude, Nye and Star all gave Golden direction and support seperately before they came together as Daddies and their boy.... I also love that Golden got the course he desired.

[Stephanie]

This is such a sweet story with a twist on the Goldielocks and three bears. I love Golden, Nye, Jude and Star's story. I love see how Golden met all of the Daddies and I just can't help but love this story. Definitely a great Christmas story.

[Sydney]

This is a cute adaptation of Goldilocks & the 3 Bears. It’s a short easy read with lots of steam and some kink. Goldie is alone for Christmas but he slowly meets each of the Behres throughout the holiday season. His hope is that this triad will want him as their boy.

[Alexander]

Copy editing a bit rough, but GREAT story

The copy editing was a little substandard, at least in the Kindle edition. However, the story was charming, and as always, I can't wait to read more.

[Simera]

This is a really sweet read. Golden is need of a daddy but in his wildest dreams did he think he would get three Behrs.

Very cute.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ was enjoyable

[Dhruti Patel]

Golden Boy is a heartwarming story about a young man named Golden who finds love with a trio of Daddies. Their relationships help each other grow and find happiness. While there are some scenes with golden showers, they're not a big part of the story. Overall, it's a cute and uplifting read about love and acceptance.

[Sharing The Book Love (Kelli Maree PA)]

A cute Christmas retell of Goldiocks.

All Golden wants is a daddy and he gets 3 in the shape of the Behrs.

This was a fun quick read and loved how Golden met all his Daddies and how they all offer him different aspects of being a Daddy.
