Ean Garner is Hollywood's hottest leading man. With a career that others would kill for, he seems to be living the life. Except he's not. Ean's been living a lie for a long time, and he's finally taken off the mask to show the world his true self.

Of course, nothing is ever that easy, right? Instead of feeling liberated, he gets berated and told to change back. Frustrated and alone, Ean does the one thing he thinks will help... He runs.

Rhett lives life in his own bubble of happiness. He's got his station at his tattoo shop, the ranch he inherited, and a great set of friends. Deciding to help the newest bunch out with a project leads him into a situation he never expected.

When Ean Garner, his ultimate celebrity crush and someone half his age, shows up in town needing a place to lay low, he jumps at the chance to help. He may never have a shot with the newly outed Little, but he wants to be around him as much as he can.

A gruff, older Daddy who thinks he doesn't stand a chance. An (occasionally) bratty Little on the run from his old life. Together, they find their own version of happiness.

This book features content meant for audiences 18+. It is in the same world as the previous books in the series and is best read after the others.

Really sweet story about Ean, who has fulfilled his dream by becoming an actor and giving his parents everything. Thanking them for giving him a great childhood.
But when his parents are killed by a drunk driver his love for acting goes.
Ean wants to be himself, out and in love but his manager won't allow it.
When Ean decides to run he goes looking for Princess Aster. And he finds a group of people who like him for him.
Rhett has been obsessed with Ean for years , following him on social media, but knows Ean would never be interested in a man like him.
When Ean is discovered it's Rhett who has a plan to keep him safe. His Daddy instincts kick in.
Their relationship developed and both find love.
Beautiful written. Thoroughly enjoyed
I received an advanced copy of this book for a honest review . And I highly recommend along with the others in the series

My heart absolutely broke for Ean from going through such a loss at such a young age to having to deal with jerks trying to control him is just awful but reaching to find Aster changes his life completely and for the better. Rhett has had a crush on Ean for years so when he finally meets the man he never thought he would he is speechless but then he swoops in to save the man when his world gets turned upside down again. Rhett does his best to hide how he feels thinking he isn’t good enough for Ean so Ean does what he has to make Rhett act on his feelings and watching their love unfold was beautiful to read. ❤️😁

Ean Garner

Well geeze, don't cha think it's kinda weird for your boyfriend to speak about you in first-last name format? Really it just felt like there was something missing from this one. As to the supposed product line, what are they going to do when it blows up? Get a whole herd of milk cows or goats or whatever the products were made from. It just seemed silly. Meh. Whatever. I liked the end a lot but it took me forever to get through most of the book considering how short it is.

Loved!

My heart broke for Ean. The poor thing just wants to be cared for and loved. I liked how he decided to finally break free from his horrible manager. Tracking down Princess Aster was the best thing he ever did. Until he meets his hot tattooed rancher Daddy. Rhett thinks he is too old and way out of Ean's league to even think of being his Daddy. But Ean has other plans. Oh how I enjoyed their story. And the end was just perfect. I loved everyone on the ranch, so supportive of Rhett and Ean. On to the next book!

This is another lovely addition to the Princess Pen Pals series. Ean has had to keep his true self under wraps while being a Hollywood darling and in a spur of the moment photo gives the world a brief glimpse of the real him. He then has to go into hiding and finds true friends and a whole new family to love and care for him. Also has fun moments with characters from the previous books in this series.

I loved it!!

This series is my jam. I love how the author incorporates letter writing into each one. Rhett is a great Daddy and Ean is the perfect boy for him. Heck I wanted to hug Ean after getting his story. I want to see more Zain. I think he could fit in with the growing family the Princesses are making. There are some Daddies that need to find their match too. I’ve only had one issue with these books. They keep ending lol.

New to me author. I didn’t read the other books in this series. This is a mm romance set in the USA. Main characters are Ean a Hollywood movie stars and Rhett a ranch and tattoo shop owner. There was some story and secondary characters covered in the previous books but not enough to stop me reading. The is a Daddy/ Little storyline with a rushed HEA. Insta love and a major connection in a few days of knowing each other.

XOXO, Ean is the fourth book in the Princess Pen Pals serie by A.W. Scott. This book is about Ean and Rhett. If you've read previous books you already met them. If not, Ean is a movie star and Rhett has a ranch and a tattoo shop. Their story was sweet, sexy and very well written. I loved it. Can't wait for the next book.

Like the other three novellas in this series, this book was reasonably well written and had a cute story. My main issue with it is that there's just not enough space for much character development, which can be annoyingly typical for novellas. In any case, I will still be continuing with this fun series.

Sweet boy

I absolutely adore Ean and Rhett. I loved seeing how Ean comes out of his shell and finds the best place for him to be his best self, and with the support of his new friends who drop everything to help he finds the love of his perfect Daddy. It was very great to see Rhett open up and let someone in. I love their dynamic and seeing how they help each other.

Ean

This was a sweet romance and instant love between a Hollywood star who is hiding and a dancer/tattoo artist. Ean is trying to sort out his life, and he stumbles into Princess Aster’s group of friends, and then right into the arms of his Daddy. The antics are fun, as are the interactions of the group, and the love and HEA are wonderfully real!

A fun story

This is a really enjoyable book, featuring Ean and Rhett. With low angst, and a focus on Ean finding himself, away from the hype he is used to, it is a really sweet insta-love story

Dreams do come true!!!

If you’re among Princess Aster’s friends you soon learn to stop putting yourself down. Falling in love at first sight is much easier when you’re confident. Enjoy Rhett and Ean’s fun story and their unique and caring friends! Enjoy!!!

good

This was a good book. Nothing super crazy, aside from his friend Zane showing up. I did like how clingy Rhett was after they finally got together, it was cute imagining that of a big tattooed rancher.

Age gap goodness

I enjoyed Ean and Rhett’s story! It’s sweet, low angst, and a fun read! My favorite of the series so far although I suspect Fisher’s story may top it.

Another good one

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and it's a nice addition to the Princess Pen Pals series. If you like Insta love and an age gap you'll like this one.

Sometimes you want something really bad.....

But figure you'll never get it. Well, sometimes you do get it! Rhett did, and Ean got what he wanted, too! THANK YOU, A.W.! ENJOY!

Ean

This is such a cute series with a very strong feeling of friendship and found family and although we’ve moved away from the pen pals concept I liked how the author included a hand written note to keep to the theme
