What a quick, sweet romance from Daryl Banner as he continues his Boys & Toys summer series. Conner is new to the big City and ready to make his mark. He never expected his “mark” to start as he literally steps off the plan and into an Uber with a sexy mysterious man. I enjoyed Conner’s introduction to the “Boys” and watching as he navigates his new world for building a relationship, gaining experience and his life in general. This is a lighthearted, almost coming of age, story that will have you laughing (at least I did on several occasions) and swooning.
So happy to be back in the Boys & Toys World. Daryl Banner brings us a fun window into the young and hip (and maybe not so hip) world of Mayville (affectionately known as Gayville or the gayborhood). 4 new main characters to tweak our curiousities and even more characters to both love and dislike. Short, sweet, sexy and just plain fun. I loved Connor from the minute I met him and Alan….who would have expected him ever? Looking forward to learning more about that beautiful Dante, the illusive but interesting Zak and of course…will Brett ever grow up?
A shorter book but no less wonderful, Daryl Banner gives us a great little summer read with Connor. A new season of Boys & Toys, I really enjoyed watching the country boy from Kansas make his way in a big city. Connor is a good man, and his life goes from zero to sixty almost overnight as he fumbles his way through a new life with new friends and a new job.
I liked that Banner didn’t waste time and got right to the point showing us the ups and downs of starting starting this new adventure. Between the crazy he finds with his new roommate in Brett, the fierce competition he is forced to deal with daily with Jay, and the great guy he found almost by accident with Alan, Connor has his hands full. But even within a shorter read, there is a ton of excitement, a few sweet scenes and the inevitable sexy that makes this book complete.
A true refreshing respite from the heavier reads, grab Connor, set up a seat poolside and enjoy this well-written and engaging book. I truly enjoyed it and give it a solid 4 stars!
I’m so glad Daryl decided to continue on with the Boys & Toys series, the first season was so entertaining and really did read like a tv serial.
Connor’s a charming little farm-fresh Kansas boy ready to take on the world! I liked that this book was told solely from his point of view, while still giving us an introduction and peek into the rest of the boys. He was the sweetest thing, with such high hopes for his future in the big city! I was worried it would eat him up and spit him back out, as bright eyed and innocent as he seemed. But Connor was determined to make a life there for himself, and even though he hit a bit of a rough patch I was glad to see it didn’t hold him down for long.
Although the romance between Connor and Alan did move pretty fast, it didn’t feel forced and I thought they were *insert another word for sweet here* together.
I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the boys’ stories- Daryl’s definitely built interest with just the quick glimpses we got of each of them in Connor’s book.
When Connor flies into the big city to start his new career, Alan sees him struggling and offers to help him out. The two have a second chance meeting and the pull of attraction is too strong to not act on it.
The first installment of the new Boys and Toys series. Completely independent from the first series. I like how the book mainly focuses on one character. The others are introduced, but the story is from Connor’s POV. Connor is such a sweet, small town guy. Alan is more worldly yet down to earth. A great, quick sweet romance. Can’t wait for the next installment!
All new boys, all new series. Connor is number one to grace us. He’s fun, he’s likeable, and I’m a sucker for all the sweetness. He meets Alan at the airport just when he gets to town for his new job. A job to be determined if its everything he wants. I can already tell Brett is going to be hilarious. Love the writing and all the vivid descriptions. I can always count on a lighthearted quick read with these series. Something I was really in the mood for. Keep them coming.
Connor is the first book in the Boys & Toys Season 2. This second series is about a new group of friends so if you haven’t read the first Boys & Toys series it will not impact your enjoyment of this book, but I recommend you read the first season anyway.
This book is a light-hearted, fun, country-boy moved to big city story, highlighting the new relationships Connor makes as part of that journey, including friendships, work colleagues and romantic.
As usual Daryl Banner develops his characters to make you feel and empathise with them. And feel and empathise you will. We can all relate to the feelings Connor experiences, not feeling good enough, wondering if you deserve something good, right through to elation when things go right.
It is a great quick read, easy to finish one go.
I highly recommend this book, and can’t wait for the rest of the series.
