focuses more on the care a Daddy gives

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarain, I was gifted my copy of this book.

Archie gets a job as PA for his favourite author and finds himself wanting to do so much than manage his diary. Hamish is is a grumpy so and so, but the young Archie becomes his muse very quickly. When one of Archie's brothers gets an invite to an adult party, both Archie and Hamish see the other in a different way.

I really really enjoyed this! It focuses more on the CARE a Daddy gives, in all ways, rather than the sex part, and I loved that I found it equally warm and fuzzies/too stinking cute and smexy!

It's not especially taxing on the brain, no complicated plot line or too much trauma to either of them, and I appreciated that right about now.

I loved that Archie and Hamish get on well together, as boss/employee, as friends, and then as Daddy/boy. They really are perfect for each other, they fit so well together. I loved Hamish's friends, and seeing how they might fit into future books. I loved the ABC triplets and I really look forward to reading Blake and Corey's tales!

It says 230 odd pages, but I didn't think it was that long. I really got sucked in with these two and time flew.

4 good solid stars

Alexandria Duvalier’s new life on the magical world of Meredith takes a shattering twist when her father, the Duke of Wheel, pledges her hand in marriage to the cruel lord, Rodric Regret. Desperate to escape his clutches, Alex flees the city with the help of her friend, Tell Tollet, a handsome lieutenant in the city guard.

This book is truly stunning! I absolutely adored the artwork. This book tells us about humans, that there are so many different types of humans depending on the area people lived throughout the centuries. This book explains different civilisations from all over the world. It tells the reader how these civilisations influenced the modern world, what they created and how they lived in that particular time and place. The reader is also able to learn about famous people from that civilisation or the names of the Gods they worshipped.

The information is very easy to digest, and it is not overbearing with writing. I have been taught a very limited amount at school about ancient civilisations, that is why I really liked the opportunity to learn more from this book, even though I am an adult. I love how this book is designed. It is pretty big, and the pages are made out of thick card paper, so I am pretty sure, that this book will last quite a long time. 🙂

So, to conclude, if your little one likes history, and is curious to learn more about humans from different times and places, this book is perfect! The illustrations are absolutely fabulous, and I know my nephews will like it. I hope you will give this book a go, and like me, will be able not only to teach the young ones but will learn something new yourself.
