Kingston: I love my job. Helping others plan their perfect wedding is a dream come true. If only I could find my own boy to cherish, spoil, and love. But who wants a chubby 41-year-old with a voyeuristic side? When my friend insists I try a kinky dating app called Bears-4-U, I decide to give it a shot.
My one rule: Don't fall for the ONLY guy who reminds me of Jamison Parker.
Jamie: Kingston Foxe and I hate each other. So what if I've always wanted him? So what if he isn't the guy I thought he was? So what if his gorgeous bear body is exactly what I crave? I have a plan. With the help of a new dating app, I’ll get over Kingston in no time. All I need to do is follow a few rules.
Rule # 1: Find someone who believes in love and romance!
Rule # 2: He must be open to exploring this new kink with me.
Rule # 3: No more daddies. I refuse to be hurt by one again.
Bears-4-U is an MM Daddy romance multi-author series, featuring a host of delicious Daddy pairings. The Bears-4-U dating app is all about putting Bears and Teddy Bears together for their honey-sweet HEAs. Psst, no real bears involved. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not snuggle up with all the bears?
With me not really finding anything satisfying to read these days that can hold me captive, starting to skim or trying something else altogether I was honestly getting frustrated with myself.
But holy mama I didn’t know it was a book like this that I needed. I read this in one sitting and loved it. It wasn’t perfect but it was oh so gooood. And so super hot. The sexual tension had me on the edge of my seat. You can probably even call it edging (the reader).

Really beautiful enemies to lovers romance! This story had so many layers and really beautifully and complex written characters. Both MCs had to battle with self-doubt and misconceptions, but they got their deserved sweet and steamy story and a wonderful HEA. I had so much fun with King and Jamie. And I loved how their relationship slowly grew and changed. I also have to say I adored kings Voyeurismus and Jamies Exhibitionismus kink, both just really worked out well here.
Who falls for their enemy? Kingston Foxe, (King), is a "Daddy Dom" that loves his job of helping others to plan their perfect wedding. A friend suggests to him that he could find a "boy" of his own to love and spoil, if he tried the kinky dating site, "Bears-4-U". What did he have to lose? He signs up but he gives himself one rule; to not fall for anyone who reminds him of his neighbor, Jamison Parker, (Jamie)
Jamie and Kingston appear to hate each other even though they had each secretly always wanted each other. A plan becomes set into motion... a plan to use the "Bears-4-U" app and find a perfect man. All Kingston and Jamie have to do is follows a few rules and they will each find someone who believes in love and romance and is open to exploring kink with them. Jamie doesn't want a another "Daddy"...never again...as he refuses to be hurt by any "Daddy Dom", ever again...and Kingston just wants a "boy" to love and care for. Rules in place...should be simple.
I don't mind there being a little "kink" of any type in my stories. To each his own...live and let live...so I didn't at all mind the subject. I have read stories before with this particular type of kink before. Overall, it was enjoyable and believable how Jamie and Kingston eventually blended together and how their individual kinks aligned. The thing that became a bit annoying was the beef and the pranks that were constantly going on between them. Their so-called "practical jokes" soon became altogether too many...and way, way too much. I do have to say that the restaurant scene with the ex-boyfriend was loads of fun though. It gave me hope for Jamie and Kingston, as well as something to finally cheer for.
This is a story filled with content that some might not be familiar with, as well as a BSDM-like DD/LB relationship complete with voyeurism and exhibitionism. It's not just a M/M Romance...actually there is very little real romance until nearly the end. It's a read that is certainly worth the time if the subject matter doesn't bother you. The hot wax scene did produce a bit of cringing:)

"That crush I've tried my hardest to ignore has sprouted up and blooms bigger than ever. What is it about Jamie?"
I honestly don't know how I managed to survive without this book for this long, wow it was absolutely divine!! Slow burning with crazy tension and the best kind of edging, this book had me in it's grips the entire read, I simply could not put it down. The kink scenes were done superbly, the wax scene was so hot and the whole concept of voyeurism/exhibitionism was to die for, but the book also had the most beautiful sweet scenes as well. Kingston is so romantic and Jamie is perfect for him, despite the fact he despises him. This book encapsulates body positivity and self love, of which the author did an amazing job at showing! I absolutely adored this book and now I can't stop thinking about it!
Trigger and Content Warnings: Exploration of kink, exhibition/voyeurism between two consenting adults, cheating on MC in past (off-page)
Wow!! Absolutely a fun frenemies to lovers story. Kingston is a wedding planner and Jamie a photographer and you would think with such similar interests they would be friends. Yeah, nope, with two very hard breakups and one very misunderstood situation in between them, what they are is frenemies. They can work together and be professional, but the pranks are endless and the crushes unrequited.
So what happens when Kingston’s best friend Cal signs him up with the Bears 4 U app? Kingston “meets” Silent1, his pole dancing camboy obsession, who desperately wants to stay masked for now. As they chat, Silent1 begins to wonder if it’s possible that Daddy_Oso could be his prank loving neighbor that sometimes drives him crazy, but always makes him H-O-T? What are the odds that they are so similar and yet two separate people? What will happen when their two worlds collide?
This story y’all!! Great from the jump. I had so much fun reading it. I giggled and I was sad and I love it when books make me FEEL!! This story was captivating and I only put it down a couple of times once I picked it up.
Display Me by Kota Quinn is part of the Bears-4-U series by multiple authors. It's the story of Jamie and Kingston. I loved their story. It was sweet, sexy, full of feels and very well written.
Every teaser I saw for this book had me excited to read it, and for good reason. This book! It was fun, sexy, funny, witty, and HOT! Kingston and Jamie are both in the wedding industry, and after a misunderstanding, they began a years-long prank war. Everyone that knows them knows of their "love to hate you" vibes. But when these two are thrown together and forced to spend a lot of time together, it gets harder for them to hide the fact that maybe they didn't always hate each other. It might even be the opposite.
At the same time, both Kingston and Jamie are looking for a distraction and a connection and use a k!nk-friendly dating app. They each match with someone whose k!nks match theirs perfectly, and a faceless, online relationship starts. A place where they can be open and honest and have deep and meaningful conversations along with really fun challenges that get steamy.
There is so much heat and passion between these two, and yet it's surprisingly slow-burn, but like the steamiest slow burn I've ever read, because A LOT happens, even before these two finally get together in person. You've got voyeurism and exhibitionism in a perfect balance, and lots of other fun discovery along the way.
I found myself smiling with all the sweet, cute moments, which there were plenty that made my heart all gooey. And loved all the heat that these two bring too. This book can be read on it's own. I highly recommend it for a swoony and sexy read.
Kingston and Jamie will have your mouth watering! Kota Quinn takes slow burn to the next level with this steaming hot story of frenemies! Kinston and Jamie have been “feuding” for years, each pushing buttons and devising their next prank to pull on the other. When work tosses them together, they vow to remain professional. But they each have secrets. Jamie is discovering his exhibitionist side with his webcam. Kingston is fulfilling his need to watch by tuning into a dancer that reminds him of Jamie. When they are matched on the Bears-4-U app, neither knows their true identity. But Kingston knows that his match is the cam boy he’s been spending his nights watching. What follows is the best slow burn in history, with Kingston using his inner Daddy to give his boy daily dares of things to them both on. I’m not usually a fan of a long slow burn, but the “dares” the author came up with had me turning the pages faster than a forest fire burns! I can’t wait to read more from this author!
→ BIPOC MC → Forced Proximity → Enemies to Lovers This is the third book among this multi-author series that I’ve picked up and I will absolutely continue through the rest! The low angst tension and anonymity of the dating app provides a thrill for the characters that you can feel as the reader.
Kingston is adorably oblivious and fragile from his last relationship. He flirts like crazy but can’t imagine someone actually liking him back.
Jamie is a confident spitfire who’s hiding the tender emotions deep inside himself. Seeing him explore being the real person he wanted to be was beautiful.
Good spice, plot, and characters. I definitely recommend it!
Kota Quinn produced another sweet romance with low angst. While low angst, it isn't without some sweet vulnerabilities from Kingston and Jaime, most due to past relationships that hurt them. Despite it all, they learn their true selves, and are on a journey of self-discovery when the two 'frenemies' stumble upon each other on a dating app.
A have a favorite scene, but I can't tell you or else it will spoil it. Let's just say Kingston gets to display his protective side and Jaime gets to put on a little show all while having some steamy fun.
This story is all about acceptance and loving who you are inside and out. Very sweet.
This book was so good. And that opening scene for Jamie? I freaking cackled! I adored this book, from start to finish. It was funny, it was sexy, it was adorable, and it was fantastic. I loved every second.
Jamie, was a brat through and through, he was also so caring, and charming. Even tho I laughed at that opening chapter. He owned it he made the most of the situation and he grew. He was so funny to read about so fun to see grow.
Kingston, my god this poor baby! He deserves the world and I’m so glad he got it in the end. He was shy and sweet, caring and dominant. He needed a big hug through out this book and seeing him be happy really was the best part of the book.
I loved this book. And can’t wait to read more of this author!
This book was the perfect romantic read with a solid dash of kink♥️ Jamie and Kingston were the textbook definition of enemies to lovers. Watching their hilarious teasing banter and outrageous pranks get them in all sort of embarrassing situations was super endearing.♥️ Both characters were recovering from bad relationships and were reluctant to take the leap with someone new.♥️ While playing it safe, unbeknownst to either, the sexy exchange with a stranger on a dating app is more than they bargained for.♥️ Instead of going down the conventional road of romance, these two wonderful men begin a sensual anonymous game, daring each other to cross a new line every day. Their kinky exchange reaches a boiling point, just as their real lives begin to bring them together more often than ever.♥️ With the support of family and friends, they finally gather the courage to be together.♥️ And it was absolutely glorious to see them fit perfectly in each other's arms. The end was the cutest ever.♥️ This book touched on the topic of body positivity, impossible beauty standards, and exaggerated expectations with modern dating culture. My heart broke for King so many times. His struggles were relatable to me on a personal level. Seeing Jamie support him and praise him, encouraging him to practice self-love was just beautiful. ♥️ Kingston, being caring and thoughtful with every single thing he did for Jamie, was absolutely heartwarming. The effort he put into simply paying attention and wanting to cater to Jamie was just beautiful. He did his very best to show Jamie he values and respects him above all else. I feel that only got Jamie turned on to the extreme and eager to perform and please his King, giving into his passion for exhibitionism. He revelled in Kingston's undivided attention and constant enthusiastic praise.♥️ Loved it.♥️
Kingston et Jamie Daddy et boy Ennemies to lover Exhibitionnisme
Problème d'estime de soi, de remarque grossophobe.
__
Intéressant. Belle relation et belle dynamisme. Mais sans plus.
📖 Qui tombe amoureux de son ennemi ?
Kingston __ J'adore mon travail. Aider les autres à planifier leur mariage parfait est un rêve devenu réalité. Si seulement je pouvais trouver mon propre garçon à chérir, à gâter et à aimer. Mais qui veut d'un homme potelé de 41 ans avec un côté voyeur ? Lorsque mon amie insiste pour que j'essaie une application de rencontres perverses appelée Bears-4-U, je décide de tenter le coup. Ma seule règle : ne pas tomber amoureuse du SEUL gars qui me rappelle Jamison Parker.
Jamie __ Kingston Foxe et moi nous détestons. Et alors si j'ai toujours voulu de lui ? Et alors s'il n'est pas le gars que je pensais qu'il était ? Et alors si son magnifique corps d'ours est exactement ce dont j'ai envie ? J'ai un plan. Avec l'aide d'une nouvelle application de rencontres, je surmonterai Kingston en un rien de temps. Tout ce que j'ai à faire, c'est de suivre quelques règles.
Règle n°1 : Trouve quelqu'un qui croit en l'amour et en la romance ! Règle n°2 : Il doit être ouvert à l'idée d'explorer cette nouvelle passion avec moi. Règle n°3 : Plus de papa. Je refuse d'être à nouveau blessée par l'un d'eux. 📚
🖋 Après toute cette démonstration, il n'y a aucune chance que je laisse cet homme échapper à mon emprise.
My favourite trope is hidden/mistaken identity so this was a slam dunk for me. Kota Quinn is a new to me author I became aware of in a FB group and I am delighted to have stumbled across this title.
I'm not what I would describe as kinky, though I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to the contents of the books I read, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this title, but I ended up loving it. I really enjoyed the exhibitionism/voyeurism exploration and thought the scene with the wax at Dark Satin was very erotic.
Kingston Foxe is a big, burly, daddy-bear, looking for love, but first he has to get sexy photographer, Jamison Parker off his mind - for some reason the man just doesn't like him and they are at dagger's drawn with their every encounter. Jamie is a photographer and while he can acknowledge he and Kinston have chemistry, he is looking for love and after what he overheard at the wedding where they met he knows their relationship is doomed before beginning as they are definitely not on the same page about that. He's better off looking for what he needs on the Bears-4-U app. After Kingston's friend Cal signed his up the for the Bears-4-U app it doesn't take long for Daddy-Oso and Silent1 to realize they may be perfectly suited for each other. Being forced to work closely on an upcoming wedding King and Jamie learn that they aren't so different either.
I loved everything about this set-up, the flawed and human characters, the secondary cast, the banter, the care and the kink. I enjoyed the author's writing and look forward to reading more of their work.
3.5* I liked that this had a different kink you don't often see with an exhibitionist and a voyeur getting together. Kingston is a wedding coordinator who is a big man of Filipino heritage. His last ex left him with some serious body issues and also he is the true voyeur who really can't get into it if he's not watched his partner first. Jamie is a photographer and Kingston is not sure why but Jamie hates his guts after one wedding they worked together years ago (BM) and now they snipe at each other play pranks as their shops are across the street. However Jamie is an exhibitionist who gets his thrills by doing anonymous cam shows and guess who is his #1 fan? They start chatting on line but Kingston also agrees to try an app and starts chatting with a perfect guy there but feels kind of guilty plus he's starting to like Jamie and maybe Jamie is flirting but he can't believe anyone would flirt with him because he's big.
So lots of "when will the truth be revealed?" stuff happening but I enjoyed the banter between the two and as someone who is not thin, I get Kingston's insecurities. Media tells us everyone is only attracted to certain types, ripped, or super slim. It was a bit of a back and forth with them playing games and being all mysterious with the texting which went on maybe a smidge too long and the anticipation started to wane for me, but on the whole it was cute and as I noted, a different type of kink than you usually get.
❤️ 🔥A new author for me reading this, which was a beautiful story to read. Kingston was a silent partner in his friends' kink club called Dark Satin. He has a low opinion of himself and puts blocks in front of himself by not seeing how attractive he is, despite being a wedding planner. King was a Daddy Dom who loved watching voyeurism kink. Jamieson, aka Jamie, was a photographer and had a secret cam boy site. The Bears 4 U app would help Daddy Kingston find love. Oh, I loved the pranks they played on each other, trying to outdo the other in their dislike for each other; I had to laugh at some of them. Work discussions regarding the wedding of Kingston's cousin are hot when they don't know about each other's App responses. A gorgeous connection they make when they start really talking to each. All the emotions that come with Kingston's low self-esteem and confidence nail all feelings for him which I loved in this one. Jamie had a bad Daddy experience and fought his desires for someone he badly needs that's right in front of him. 🔥Hot sexy scenes happen between the two. I loved the ending of this gorgeous book. I'd recommend this to readers who love all the feels and hot sexy scenes, and this one is on my re-read list for future book slumps.
This was such a good story with some really great guys who have so many layers and depths.
It’s a delicious slow burn between two guys who hate each other, except they really don’t. For two years they’ve been driving each other crazy while also wanting to drive each other crazy (wink wink).
As a photographer and a wedding planner, as well as neighbours, they can’t avoid one another completely. And when they end up working on the same wedding they find themselves maybe not hating it.
But they each also have a side to themselves the other knows nothing about, a kinky side. One that leads them to be on the Bears-4-U app, where they unknowingly match.
What follows is a really sweet and sexy story as Kingston and Jamie get to truly know each other in all facets of their lives. Letting the other see their complete selves, and helping to repair the damage of their past relationships.
I especially loved Kingston, the dom with vulnerabilities. These two are absolutely perfect for each other.
Kingston Foxe is a Daddy and loves his job helping others to plan their perfect wedding. When a friend suggests to him that he could find a boy of his own to cherish, spoil and love if he tried the kinky dating app Bears-4-U he signs up just giving himself one rule - not to fall for anyone who reminds him of Jamison Parker. Jamir and Kingston hate each other even though he has always wanted him - so he sets into motion a plan to use the Bears-4-U app to get over him and find a new man if he follows a few rules - to find someone who believes in love and romance, open to exploring new kink with him and not a Daddy as he refuses to be hurt by one again.
I enjoyed some of this story with the way they were together and how their kinks aligned but I did find the beef between them to be a bit much with their so-called practical jokes. I loved the scene in the restaurant with the ex-boyfriend which was so much fun. I loved that Kingston followed Jamie on YouTube even though he had no idea who it was. Easy to read, feel and understand. This is an MM story with mature content and a BSDM-like DDLB relationship with voyeurism and exhibitionism.
I think I completely started at the end with Kota Quinn's books and have been working my way backwards binging until I got to Display Me. For me Daddy characters can be taken so many ways. Kota Quinn has hit the jackpot twice in a row. Once with a Daddy Dom and his fox and now with a Daddy voyeur and a sub exhibitionist. I really loved the way the characters connected. You could tell even when Jamie and Kingston were supposed to hate each other, they really didn't. And it was once Jamie had the fire, he couldn't believe that Kingston would get him all the photography work to help him out. The kicker was when Kingston brought the coffee and breakfast sandwiches to them. When he tasted it, it was like his Mom made it. Only Kingston knew. He realized the coffee Alec had brought him for 2 years was from Kingston. Let's not even get into the app! Causing so much exhibition trouble! Seriously an erotic love story! I fell in love with these two so much!
What a wonderful book by Kota Quinn which is a part of the Bear-4-U multi-authors series. I am so happy that there was at least a chubby MC because there is not enough books with the characters who do not fit our stereotypical body image of being skinny/fit. I’ve enjoyed several books in the series and this one certainly did not disappoint at all! More than 5 stars reading from me!
The story focuses on Kingston, a wedding planner who apparently had a rivalry with the wedding photographer, Jamie. They would do pranks to each others which was done with kinda malicious intentions. It so happens Kingston’s cousin was getting married and he wanted Kingston to help plan the wedding. To add salt to the wound, he asked Jamie to do the wedding photography which includes the planning of the wedding and such. Need I say more… I’d suggest you pick up the book to read to find out what happened and why there was a rivalry.
Kingston and Jamie work in the same circles, but they hate each other after a misunderstanding at the first event they worked together. Since then, it has been prank after prank played against each other. While they might think they hate each other, they secretly like the other man. Kingston's friends finally convince him to give the app Bears-4-U a chance, and when he meets the one guy that reminds him of Jamie, he has to remind himself not to fall for the guy. Jamie has three rules when he uses the app, but when he meets a guy he thinks is perfect except that he is a daddy, Jamie isn't sure he can trust another daddy after the last one hurt him.
Kingston and Jamie were fun to read; while they outwardly hated each other, you could tell it was that fine line between hate and love. They only had to give the other a chance to realize they loved each other. It was a great slow burn, which had lots of fun between everything else.
This is the second book that I've read in The Bears-4-U series and it was set up to be such great fat representation and it is still good fat representation, but I need the character to be described as fat. The main character is not just chubby or beefy. He has a distinguishable round belly. Stop being so afraid of the word fat. It is not a bad word and having positive fat representation is so important.
I really liked the idea of enemies to lovers and I love that they weren't really enemies with that whole prank war thing going on and I love that all of their friends knew that they had a thing for each other despite them being adamantly against it. I really like this cast of characters in this town and will definitely read more books by this author. I do think that they could have figured their shit out a little bit earlier in this and had some time to just be happy but whatever.
Kingston and Jamie started their acquaintance as enemies because of an old misunderstanding.
Now they're forced to work alongside each other.
Kingston's voyeuristic k!nk leads him to watch a gorgeous camboy who reminds him of his sworn enemy, Jamie with whom he'd been having an ongoing prank war. When they match on Bears-4-U app they don't know that they've already been fantasizing about each other. Cue the delicious slow burn. Between flirting on the app and getting to know each other beyond their prank game, the men grow close. A lovely read with a dash of k!nk and a perfect match!
Loved this book. Kingston and Jamison had been feuding for two years after a misunderstanding on Jamison part. There was something about Jamison that Kingston liked so he kept the pranks /feuding going. After both men joined a dating app Bears-4 U and were compatible, their conversation went great. Kingston 's cousin wanted Jamison as his photographer, tension was high between both men , but as time went on the flirting started . Fun read, thoroughly enjoyed I received an advanced copy of this book for a honest review. Thoroughly enjoyed
It had funny, witty banter, it had some angst and heartache and lots of feelings about themselves and each other. It kept things sharp and brilliantly balanced when it came to how it ends up!
Self confidence is such an emotional roller coaster that everyone faces and when outside sources that we trusted chip away or outright hurt that it’s debilitating!
One of the best things about this story is that Kingston and Jamie are perfect for each other!
This book wasn’t what I was expecting. While I liked the story I didn’t love it. I liked the rep this book had with different body types, and diversity. I love the back n forth of I like him, I don’t like him. And I loved the found family. So for that it gets a 3.5. Everything else’s is a me issue so try it for yourself.
For futher me: Dual POV no cheating/ some bdsm sharing Smexy did happen while they still didn’t like each other. Almost a switch in the bdsm aspect also.
Gotta love an enemies to lovers romance based on overhearing a snippet of a private conversation... and better yet, multiple layers of interest and kink... oh so delicious!
This book has so many layers and beautifully complex characters whose journey to their HEA is fraught with misconceptions and self-doubt but makes for a wonderfully sweet and steamy story with some great kink, amazing side characters and just wonderfully deep and enjoyable characters!
new to me author and I’ll definitely be coming back for more 🖤
Kingston is the sweetest daddy ever!! I loved his and Jamie’s relationship both on the app and in real life. Jamie is the perfect exhibitionist brat and I loved him claiming his King and building him up after his ex had left him feeling unworthy. I’m really hoping we see more from the side characters in this story too :)
OmG I love love love this story! I feel like we never get stories about voyeurism and budding exhibitionism. I love that it wasn't just public sex, which so many people assume is what you want when your an exhibitionist which it truly isn't. I also enjoyed the reality of multiple different stories all coexisting and I'm sure many stories to come!
I thought these two were so cute. I loved the little games and pranks they played on each other and how, even though they didn’t like each other, it was never anything harmful.
There were some laugh out loud moments for me that I really enjoyed. Some moments that were really heartfelt and some that displayed the MCs vulnerability. It was a hit for me.
