Sweet for the Dad Bod: Dad Bod Series - Men Built for Comfort Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 478 ratings

Baking is my passion. It's how I express myself. I'm a sucker for anything fluffy, creamy, and delicious, and that goes for my men too.

Our local firefighters put on a charity date auction every year to raise money for the town. As the local baker, they always hire me to do the dessert table even though they bring their own eye candy.

So, when I show up to do my job, I don't expect to loosen my purse strings and place the winning bid on the crème de la crème: Gavin Lewis.

I can't help it.

He looks like he'd rather be anywhere but there, so I feel compelled to save him. Did I already say I'm a sucker for anything fluffy and delicious?

Well, Gavin hits the spot.

But he's recently been kneaded by an ex and not looking for anything but my cookies. I'm preheated and ready to melt for him, but can I settle for just a taste?

    Love this series. This one is about Gavin the Fire chef and Elsie who owns the bakery. She has been in love with Gavin since he moved to town. When they had the charity auction she expected his girlfriend Sarah to bid on him but instead Elsie bid on him and won a weekend with him. They are having the time of their lives and Gavin is finally happy when he runs into his ex girlfriend and after her comments he finds that Elsie has left. Such a sweet steamy story of two people who are perfect for each other.

    I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    I read to get my head out of the world around me and to find a book that I can also relate to and this book does it in spades. Gavin is dumped by his girl friend of several years the very night that he is to be auctioned at the Friedman's charity event. Not only did she break up with him but she said some terrible things to him but he went on to the auction. There Elsie bide on him and he took her to the resort. Rings were going well for them until the ex showed up and made horrible remarks to Elise when she was a lone and latter to Gavin. It took a hard took on their relationship. It is definitely a book worth reading

    I love this Dad Bod series and 'Sweet for the Dad Bod' is another win!

    Baker and Fireman.

    He has a nasty ex and horrible charity auction experience. However, Elsie makes the first move by placing her bid.

    I highly recommend this book and this author.

    These two take on a wacky timeline that seemed unnecessary, given the plot points it covered. Elsie is also bold as brass tacks one moment; the next, a running-scared avoider, which felt mercurial and excessive given the stimulus. Gavin keeps a more even keel, but not by much, flip-flopping between “man scorned” and instalove with Elsie.

    "“Alright, well, f- you too,” I muttered in annoyance as I yanked the shirt off and tossed it onto the ground before staring at my closet in desperation."

    I have been here for this dad bod series. Another sweet, good read.

    This was my first Kylie Marcus read and I really liked it.

    If you're someone who doesn't do well with second hand embarrassment the auction is gonna be rough for you! Thank god it's quick. I felt genuinely bad for Gavin. His ex was a total witch. The things she said to him, ugh! I'm just glad that Elsie was there to pick up the pieces.

    A good read that's worth checking out.

    The love of a good woman definitely uplifts any man. Elsie was awesome at elevating her man, and glad Gavin was awesome at making Elsie feel safe and wanted.

    Gavin the local Fire Chief is conned into volunteering for a charity auction. Elsie is the local baker who has been crushing on Gavin since she arrived in town. Elsie arrives to deliver her baked goods for the event when she spots Gavin being auctioned. Unfortunately, no one is bidding on him so Elsie saves him the ultimate humiliation. Ms Marcus has produced a delightful short story that develops smoothly and is well written, making it easy to read. I truly enjoyed the story.
