Atlanta Daddies #5
Lost Boy
Thomas’ time in the spotlight is fading. Once a celebrated model he quickly realizes that things are changing the older he gets. Facing the loss of his dream and the friends he thought he had, the only question is; what comes next? When he decides to move back home to be closer to his brother, he never expects to run into a man who needs more help than anyone he's ever met before.
Beaufort, Bo to his very few friends, is down on his luck. No one knows that his life is falling apart or that he’s been sleeping in his storage unit. When Thomas realizes the truth, Bo just wants the man to leave him alone. But he can’t seem to take the hint. And Bo is pretty sure Thomas is either the biggest idiot on the planet or the sweetest man that ever lived.
It’s insanity to move in with a complete stranger, but Bo goes with his gut. And soon he realizes there’s so much more to Thomas than meets the eye. Could this Daddy and boy be just what each other needs?

I’m really sad this is the end of the series. Each book has been wonderful and different from other daddy/boy books I’ve read in the past. Angsty with each boy going through something quite difficult in their lives and their daddies helping them. I like the realism that just because they now have a daddy that their problems magically fix themselves (like in some books). These daddies just provide support to their boys so they have the confidence to take the steps they need to take.
Poor sweet Bo. He’s only 19 and has been beaten down by life already. Thomas is just the sweetest most sunshiney person ever at the cusp of a career change (not by choice). They meet each other when they both need it most and things grow between them quite quickly.
Considering Bo’s background and the very big chip on his shoulder I was surprised at the short amount of time it took for him to accept more from Thomas but I suppose Thomas taking care of him after he’s attacked, proving his true kindness and gentleness, was the catalyst because it showed Bo that Thomas was someone he could truly trust and he vulnerable with. Bo’s goth/femme little side is adorable. I loved seeing him little and Thomas’ full acceptance of him. Thomas has never been a daddy before but he’s a natural caregiver who enthusiastically jumps into the role when he realizes Bo is a little. The story takes a while for the physical side of their romance to come but doesn’t matter as by the time they get there they have built a solid foundation as a couple which is essential for Bo. The story moves at a good pace, never feeling like it was dragging.
Be aware of TWs: forced prostitution, homelessness, abuse by a parent, assault.

***Spoilers here and there***

I liked this one it was good. Bo dad was a horrible man. At first I assume that Bo was older than Thomas by reading the description. But Bo was younger than Thomas.
When Bo kept mentioning James I thought it was a girl but it was a dog. If it wasn’t for Thomas, Bo would’ve lost a lot more. It sucked that his dad pimp his kids out for drugs. I assume that Bo was doing that stuff since a young age since he’s nineteen.
He did everything that he could to please his father. But he still put his daughter out there in them streets. I was glad when Thomas and Bo went and got her. His dad tried again to ruin everything for him but if it wasn’t for Thomas his dad would’ve hit him.
Besides all of that; I thought it was weird that Bo was in baby age sometimes. It crazy though; not in a bad way - but it’s crazy because it’s people who actually are like that and are in a relationship. I can’t stop reading this series even if some of it weird they are interesting.
I’m hoping it’s more after this series but I doubt it.

I’m sad that his series has ended! It’s so freakin good! Bo’s back story will break you. I had tears at times reading it, heartbreaking. I loved Thomas’s attitude, he’s fairly laidback but he’s also got things he needs to work thru. When they meet, Thomas is gone on Bo. He just wants to help him although Bo wants to be left alone. But Thomas isn’t giving up and he’s stubborn. I loved, loved, loved this story sooo much! Overall, the story was really good, kept me glued to the pages! The story was well written, highly recommend! I’m voluntarily reviewing from an advanced copy that I received. My reviews are solely based on my thoughts and opinions.

When you lose everything, but find your forever. Two men who are lost in the World searching for their place and finding each other instead. I adored this journey. I love that they both were new to this dynamic and they both had to learn how this dynamic worked for their relationship. I loved how they found love as they figured out both themselves and each other. The writing was wonderful, the Smexy was nice, and the few side characters were fun.

Lost Boy is the fifth book in The Atlanta Daddies series by Skyler Snow. This book is about Bo and Thomas. Bo is down on his luck. His dad threw him out and nobody knows he is sleeping in a storage unit. Thomas (Kyans younger brother, Rich Boys) once a populair model is getting less and less modeling jobs. When he realizes where Bo is sleeping he wants to help him. Bo wants Thomas to leave him alone.....
I really loved their story. It was sweet, sexy, full of feels and very well written. Bo and Thomas were so good together. I also loved seeing some of the other Daddies and their boys.

I am so stupid. When I read the rest of the books in this series earlier this year after the fourth book with its misinformation about demisexuality and the shitty fat phobia near the end I declared that I wasn't going to read me more of this author's work. Well apparently I am susceptible to pressure and Kindle was constantly recommending this book in my "new for you" section so I caved. It said it had little / age play and I wanted to give it a try Even though I knew that I was being dumb.
I'm here to inform you that this book is in fact just as bad as the rest of the series. Apparently I'm the only one who thinks so since the rest of the reviews are like glowing five stars but whatever. It's just that they're not well written and they're not well thought out. There's a lot of plot holes and unrealistic circumstances that you just can't believe any of it. Not to mention that the kink is terrible in these books. Absolutely awful.
This book features Bo who has been kicked out of his house and is being forced into sex work so that he can give his abusive dad money. Bo is sleeping out of a storage unit with his dog and is struggling hard. He has no money and he's forced into a situation so that he can attempt to keep his little sister, who is still in the care of his father, as safe as possible. here's one of the major plot holes. We don't figure out how old his sister is for like half of the book. You have no idea if she is 10 or 17 and that just seems like a big fact.
Then there is Thomas who is in his early 30s and worked as a model but now he is too old and has washed out of the industry basically. So he goes back to his hometown and through a weird twist of fate regarding his brother's boyfriends, he runs into Bo at the storage unit and offers the help. After Bo pick pockets him and steals his wallet, Thomas goes back finds him and offers him a place to stay because that sounds smart.
So now Bo goes to live with Thomas and he brings his dog and there's a little bit of distrust at the beginning but eventually you find out that Bo is a little and all of a sudden they're friendly to each other. You don't actually get any of the context or the events as they're happening. It's just like all of a sudden time has gone by but you don't know how much time because there's no actual time qualifiers in the book. This book could have taken place over a week or it could have taken place over a year and no one knows.
So eventually Bo and Thomas end up in this like boy Daddy dynamic but there is so little information about kink and consent and it also has been said by Thomas that he has no idea how to be a daddy yet all the sudden he's perfect at it? That does not sound quite realistic. Not to mention that they go from a purely platonic kink relationship to all of a sudden jumping into a sexual one and you're going to try and tell me that a 19-year-old who has been beaten and abused and pimped out doesn't have any hang ups surrounding sex? Yeah no.
My other big qualm with this book is the money. Thomas is not working and has no income but apparently he has "big savings" and is able to afford his own apartment plus the money that Bo would give to his father plus food utilities and all sorts of toys and clothing for Bo. Bo has no income whatsoever and seemingly no skills. Neither one of them have a job for this entire book. And then at the end Thomas declares that he's just going to go back to school get a business degree and start his own modeling agency. How much money does he have? What is this sorcery of this book?
The best part of this book was the dog. I said what I said.
It's just bad. I'm done. I will not be pressured into reading more Skyler Snow books and I'm standing by that.
If you want a well done series that has daddy/boy dynamics and a wide range of boys and daddies check out the gentle hand series by Nora Phoenix. There is all sorts of wonderful rep and the books are really phenomenal. That series is what this series wished it could be.

This is all the hurt/comfort your holiday heart can hold. After reading this , I had nightmares of Bo's dad coming back with more evil intent. I liked the way Tom stepped in and up to take care of Bo. He was just what/who Bo needed and deserved to heal his soul. The ending had my eyes watering and a smile on my face!!

I really enjoyed this read and couldn’t put it down! The relationship between Bo and Thomas was pure and perfect. My only meh point was Bo’s father and how much power he seemed to have until the end when he didn’t put up much of a fight.

As absolutely adorable as the ending was I think it would’ve been so great if they’d had Sophia live with Thomas mom. Then his mom wouldn’t be so lonely and Sofia would be able to experience a mother’s love again.

Daddy
Oh my, I wanted to give Bo's dad such a punch.
Bo has such a great spirit. Thomas is so lighthearted. They are so great together.

This was a really heartfelt, hurt/comfort romance between our two main characters Bo and Thomas.
Bo is a wreck, thrown out and made to work on the street selling himself by his dad. If not for his younger sister, he'd run as far as possible.
Thomas is a model who finds himself lost and discouraged when he can no longer find himself any work.
These two cross paths and instantly a connection is made, it starts off rocky, but slowly the attraction and warmth between them blossoms into love.

3 stars…
Ugh I’m done. I really enjoyed the “Big Boy” book in this series and I was hoping any of the others gave me the same feeling and the didn’t :/. They were fine… but like I didn’t like Thomas at all, his story felt thrown together at best and like he was just this like weirdly fake happy dude?
I liked Bo but I feel like all the boys are is their past and the trauma and their is nothing to them beyond that and it’s hard to enjoy a love story about a brick wall and another brick wall that has trauma….
2/5 on spice. 2/5 on kink. 1/5 on tears.

3/5 Stars.
The first book I read by Skyler Snow was Broken Boy, the first of this series. I ended up DNFing it - the writing was not enjoyable to me, the way an abusive relationship was handled did not feel well done, and overall I didn't really see the chemistry between the two MCs. I am happy to say that this book improved tremendously from that first one, and I really did think the writing was well done in this book especially. It makes me consider reading some of their other books in the future.
As far as characters go within this book, I did like Bo and Thomas. Thomas especially was a sweetheart - someone who wants to do his best to help others by putting a smiling face when possible, even if he is hurting too. Bo was rough around the edges which made sense considering his life, and I felt sympathy for where he was even if I think the push-pull game at first is something difficult to write well. His age regression was interesting to read about, especially because the author (thankfully!) points out how age regression and age play are not always the same thing. I know the author is part of the CG/little lifestyle so they have good first-hand experience with it.
Bo and Thomas' dynamic was adorable as hell. I loved the femme little, the bottle and pacifiers, the feeding of Bo, etcetera. I liked how taking care of Bo made Thomas feel better, showing that need and investment in that type of dynamic just beyond the fact that Bo enjoyed it. They were both new to actually participating in it, so there wasn't a jump into say, diapers or something. The hurt/comfort on both ends was really great, especially as Bo came tot rust Thomas, and those moments were quite sweet together. The relationship itself was paced pretty nicely, though I found the jump from a non-sexual, non-romantic Daddy/little dynamic to "let's have sex!". I wish they had talked about their feelings during the building of their Daddy/little dynamic.
Here comes my biggest issue with this book, which is why it's not 4/5: the plot of money troubles that both MCs are faced with is not addressed in a satisfying way to me. This was a big failure to me for this not being addressed in a better, believable way. Either state right out that those "savings" was a nest egg nearing a specific and big number, or bring up what other ways money is coming in, because Bo has no other skills either and is not working. I was unsettled by this stress as their relationship developed and I never felt I got to see it properly addressed.

Lost Boy by Skyler Snow is Book 5 in their Atlanta Daddies series. It is the story of Bo and Thomas. Bo has lived a very difficult life with an abusive drug addict of a father, a mother who left when he was 11, and a sister who he desperately wants to protect. To do that he has to sell himself on the street and steal to give money to his father. He is living in a storage unit with his only friend, his dog James and he doesn’t see a way out of this life. Thomas is a 33 year old who has been a model all of his life and he loves it. Then he is told he is too old and no one will hire him so he returns home to figure out what he wants to do next. He is helping his brother move when he runs into Bo. He immediately wants to help him but Bo thinks he will use him like all the other men he has met so he refuses. But as he leaves he picks Thomas’ pocket. When Thomas realizes his money is gone he follows him and sees that he is living in a storage unit. He confronts Bo and gets his money back but he can’t leave him there so he invites him to come to his apartment. Bo is hesitant but he goes with him. The story continues as Thomas realizes he is a protector and the more he is with Bo, he slowly falls in love with him. Bo has had such a traumatic life that he is slow to trust but eventually he does. He can’t believe all that Thomas is willing to do for him, his dog, and his sister, and eventually he realizes he is in love with him. There is a lot of angst in this story as well as action and suspense as Bo tries to get money for his father so he doesn’t hurt his sister and finds himself in precarious situations. He also doesn’t want Thomas to think he is using him for his money. Thomas’ brother and his Boys also lighten the story and Bo makes friends with them, something he hasn’t had in a long time. Finally, Bo has kept hidden that he is a Boy and this comes out when he is with Thomas. Thomas has never been a Daddy but his brother is and the more he learns about being one the more he realizes that he can be one. Once this happens this relationship continues to develop throughout the story. I enjoyed this book but it is intense at times. You really relate with the characters and what they are going through and this makes you feel deeply for them. I especially liked that Bo and Thomas helped each other as problems came up. If you like hurt/comfort books with lots of feelings then you will enjoy this book. I did and I’m looking forward to more books from this author.

So sad to see it end.
The Atlanta Daddies series has been so wonderful. I can’t believe this is the last book in the series. Bo and Thomas have been a long time coming.
Oh, Bo. His story is full of so many emotions. His backstory is absolutely heartbreaking. The things he has endured, and is, in fact still enduring, are horrific and terrible. But man, oh, man, he made the most adorable Little. So stinking cute. Bo was this goth/femme Little that I just wanted to squish.
Thomas has always been known for his goofy and laid back attitude. Here we find him much the same, but he is also dealing with the end of a career he loves and is at a loss about how to go forward. He has a really hard time expressing his feelings in regards to the turmoil in his life. I adored how he explored being a Daddy for the first time and took to it beautifully.
Thomas meets Bo and is basically gone for him from the auspicious start. He only wants to care for and protect Bo. Bo has walls up that are nearly impenetrable. Thank goodness Thomas is tenacious. There is a lot of push and pull between the two for quite a while. Bo is so prickly and his trust doesn’t come easily. I’d put this book in the slow burn category, as there isn’t much romantic action until around 60% in, however, the foundation that Thomas and Bo build in that first 60% is invaluable. They develop a lasting relationship based on trust and understanding. It’s really quite beautiful.
This was a 3.75 rounded to 4 stars for me. It seemed like this book, while really good, was missing a little bit of that Skyler Snow magic that I love. Still, I am super excited to see what they will brings us in the future.
TW for: Past and current abuse, prostitution, homelessness and body insecurity due to scarring.

Thomas had been a celebrated model but his time was coming to an end and so he had moved back to his home to be closer to his brother but never expected to run into a man who needed his help like no one he had ever met before. Beaufort, Bo to his very few friends is sleeping in his storage unit and when Thomas realises the truth Bo wants him to leave him alone but Thomas won't take the hint which either makes him the biggest idiot on the planet or the sweetest man who ever lived. It’s insanity to move in with a complete stranger, but Bo goes with his gut. And soon he realizes there’s so much more to Thomas than meets the eye. Can Bo learn to let himself be loved, scars and all? And can Thomas accept that everyone needs help sometimes, even him?
Trigger warning - homelessness, violence and food insecurity.
I enjoyed this story with Bo who had so much on his shoulders thanks to his father and his demands and Thomas who was about to face a huge change in his career direction which he seems to have been surprised by. I loved that Bo was stubborn in the end until he found that his Daddy was in trouble himself and the way that he stepped in to try and switch roles (which was just adorable). I was a little bit surprised at the ending and what Thomas gave to Bo. Easy to read, feel and understand. Contains mature content in this MM story of a BSDM-like DDLB relationship.

I was a little bit surprised at the ending and what Thomas gave to Bo. Easy to read, feel and understand. Contains mature content in this MM story of a BSDM-like DDLB relationship.

Lost Boy by author Skyler Snow is the fifth book in the Atlanta Daddies series. This story is told in dual POV which really suits this storyline. I loved the connection in this book. I also loved that though part of a series I can read this one as a standalone. This is the last story in the Atlanta Daddies series. I wish there were many many more.
Bo is abused by his “father”. And trying to save his little sister. He has the sweetest dog and is very smart. I liked that he has a big heart even though he has been through hell.
I would say as a reader advisory: Bo’s story might trigger anyone who has been abused. He has been through a ton. It does add to his overall arc and is necessary to be implied and told.
Thomas, he is a caretaker. He wants to take care of Bo after he is attacked. He has a perfect Daddy nature. He also has his own hang-ups but overall perfect Daddy for Bo.
This story was sweet, sexy, and has a ton of heart in it. I love a story I can connect with and never want to end. You do have to suspend belief in a few places but for me, if you make me fall in love with the characters, I am happy. This story does that and more. A beautiful ending to a great series.

I haven’t read all of the books in this series but I really enjoyed the one I have read so far and couldn’t resist the chance to read this one too. Bo is down on his luck, no thanks to his deadbeat of a father. He is homeless and earning money through any means necessary, even if it means using his body or stealing. Anything to keep his dad from pimping out his little sister. Thomas is a model who has aged out of the industry. Blindsided with being dropped by his agent, he is left at a loose ends and is trying to figure out his next steps. When he encounters the young man at the storage facility obviously in need of help, he can’t ignore his gut feeling that he needs to help him. I loved this story! Thomas has his work cut out for him as he tries to help Bo understand that not everyone in his life is out to stab him in the back. Bo is afraid to trust that anything good can happen and resists at first. Tom slowly helps him realize that it actually can be good and that it is ok to want to be taken care of. This is a really sweet book and was enjoyable to read as I watched Bo blossom into the boy he was meant to be all along.

I was blown away with this book. I hooked from the very first page and I couldn't not put this book down. I even read this book twice this week so far. I love Bo and Thomas together. My heart hurt for Bo but he is so strong to continue to do what he has to to survive. Thomas and Bo were perfect for each other; they were healing each other without even truly trying. Thomas is trying to right is world after it was turned upside but what (who) he truly needed was Bo. I am really sad to see this series ending but I have loved it and I thought Bo and Thomas's story was perfect for the conclusion. I can't wait to see what Skyler has in store for us next! I would highly recommend this book, this series, and Skyler as a must read author!

This story showcases two characters who work together really well, emotionally and physically, and who just seem to fit. I challenge you not to feel for Bo, who’s gone through a lot and isn’t having much luck right now. I love the blurb’s description of Thomas as either “the biggest idiot on the planet or the sweetest man who ever lived” — of course he ends up being the sweetest man, or at least, one of them (he might have some competition from previous protagonists in the series, and on that note, it’s worth pointing out that
Bo and Thomas’s book is part of the Atlanta Daddies collection, and while their romance can totally stand alone, it’s worth checking out other stories if you enjoyed this one).

This is an Atlanta Daddies book, following Kyan's brother, Thomas, who finds Bo on the streets when they have an interesting first meeting and takes a wild leap of faith and offers the boy (a virtual stranger) a place to stay.
This was ultimate hurt/comfort at its finest when Thomas spoils Bo and discovers his little side (along with his own Daddy side, too) and it made me happy Bo didn't misuse Thomas's sweet Daddy tendencies. It was hard to read about Bo's background but all that more touching when Thomas and him worked out. Highly recommend! It was also nice to see (again) all the characters and couples from other books making a cameo.

I am so sad that this is the last book in this series as I have really enjoyed these stories. This book is the story of Bo and Thomas. Thomas is a model who has been told he is too old to continue modelling now. Bo has been kicked out by his father and is doing whatever he can to get money to protect his family.
I adored how protective Thomas was of Bo and how accepting he was of everything he had done to survive. Bo is super defensive and fiercely protective of his sister and I loved how he slowly opened up to Thomas. This book was the perfect ending to this series and featured cameos from previous couples, including Kyan and his boys. I loved the whole series and can’t wait to see what the mafia daddies bring.

This is the last book in this series. There are multiple mentions of the brother and his 2 boys but u can still easily read this as a standalone.
I really enjoyed this story. The characters were well developed and had amazing chemistry. The relationship developed organically and the story didn't feel rushed even though it was fairly short. Despite some hard themes that may be triggers for others (homelessness, prostitution, stealing, parent abandonment, abusive parent), I could not put this down from start to finish. The Daddy is so sweet and caring and my heart hurt for the boy and his crappy life. This was a great, sweet, hurt/comfort story with no relationship angst but some third party drama and some steamy moments, that was well written and I would recommend it.

Right in the feels 🦇
I'm super sad that this series is ending. I have absolutely loved this series as we got to meet so many different couples.
I have been waiting for Thomas' book since we first met him. He came in as the funny brother but oh I knew he had a story to tell and his and Bo's story was perfect. Bo has had a rough go to say the least and Thomas jumps in head first. There relationship has some hiccups but I loved seeing the way Thomas made No comfortable and feel safe enough to be himself, in spite of everything else. All the feels in this book and my heart goes out to Bo and all the people like Bo. They all deserve someone like Thomas and to be safe and happy.

The final installment of this series will definitely tug your heartstrings!
Thomas’s optimistic and sunny personality even during his own personal crisis (learning he’s to old to continue modeling) will draw you into his story.
Bo’s story will break your heart. You will feel like you want to reach through the screen and smack his step father.
Thomas diving in head first to help Bo is inspiring and letting Bo become comfortable and confident to be himself was amazing to read. Life is never smooth sailing especially with as much baggage as Bo had to carry, these two together managed to create a beautiful new beginning together.
Amazing writing, world building and character development. This writer never disappoints!!!

Lost Boy by Skyler Snow was an excellent read. The book tells the story of Bo, who was abused, living on the street, and how he finds happiness with his new daddy, Thomas. It was extremely well written and was a heartbreaking story. The characters are interesting and develop over the course of the book. You can really feel the emotion while reading the books. James, the dog adds some color and distractions throughout. There are also twists and turns and keeps the story flowing and interesting. This is part of the Atlanta Daddies series but can be read as a standalone. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Oh my!! All the tears and all the love.
Lost boy-is amazing. This whole series is incredible, so many emotions, so much hurt-comfort, and heart break—all to finish with a happy ending and the MCs finding love and belonging. This story doesn’t disappoint—but be prepared for tears and anger towards some of the people around the MCs but it all comes together. I adore silly and fun loving Thomas, and just feel so much for him and Bo. Oh Bo is so sweet and sassy, but the strongest boy. I highly recommend this book-but would recommend to read the blurb to know any flags you may have with the story.

Wow...
Speechless... That's how I feel after reading this story. I'm so sad that the series is ending, but Skyler Snow definitely sent it out with a bang! This book touched me somewhere deep that I wasn't expecting. I'm so happy it did. There are ups and downs on an emotional roller coaster, but worth the ride!! It's very well written. We meet Thomas, Kyan's brother again. Thomas finds himself flailing a bit in life, not knowing what to do. He meets Bo, definitely not a meet cute opportunity. Kyan and his boys make a couple appearances and provide laughs. I want to say everything but don't know what words to use! Just read the book...read the series!!!
