Kip Ferox’s, Paper Frogs captures that rare mix of gentle love and adrenaline-fueled excitement; a story about found family, rebuilding connections, and risking your heart when the stakes are more than just paint splatters.
Theo Watts has finally made it back to where he belongs: the small town of his childhood, surrounded by the woods he loves, his loyal paintball crew, and a sense of peace he’s been chasing for years. With Splatterstorm Syndicate gearing up for the ultimate tournament — the hilariously named Paintocalypse — everything should be perfect. But the story’s emotional core lies in what Theo still lacks: Milo Novak.
Milo, quiet and observant, a close friend of Phoenix Hart (Book 1), plays for the PewPewCrew. He’s also tangled up with ghosts from his past — and possibly, someone new in his present. From the moment Theo re-enters his orbit, the tension between them hums beneath every interaction: playful banter and affection, fear and longing. Kip writes their chemistry with precision — every look, every near-confession feels loaded with history and hope.
The friendship and team dynamics add a level of joy — Splatterstorm Syndicate isn’t just background noise; it’s a found family, full of teasing, loyalty, and unspoken care. The world feels lived-in, warm, and full of hope, not tragedy.
Paper Frogs is tender, funny, and quietly brave — a story about going home, making peace with the past, and learning that love, like a paintball match, is messy, exhilarating, and worth the bruises.
Kip writes with warmth and precision, crafting characters who feel as real as the small-town woods they inhabit. A slow-burn romance with charm, color, and a heartbeat you can feel long after the final page.
