Summary

The Bully Boss Behaving Badly

Casey Uhlig is a big man with a temper to match, and in the past his rage has cost him boyfriends and respect. The anger is a roadblock, but he has been too busy building his company to get a handle on it. One morning, Casey’s temper explodes when he’s furious with his computer and he terrifies a beautiful boy from the tech department. The boy runs, but his frightened eyes haunt Casey, and he decides it’s time to learn to apologize.

The Scared IT Geek

Angel Gaffin has had a difficult life. He grew up with an abusive father and doesn’t respond well to violence. When his boss, Mr. Uhlig, blows up at him, he heads home to hide. What he doesn’t count on is his boss tracking him down to apologize. Angel is shocked by the feelings one apology stirs up in him.

Power Play to Grow Closer

A date with Casey leads to a relationship that both scares and comforts Angel. Casey is older than Angel and that difference feeds into Angel’s craving to have someone protect him. Angel hands over his trust. Problems arise because while Casey might be trying now to be a good person for Angel, his past coming to light might tear apart the fragile connection they’ve established. Will Casey be able to grow as a person and become the man Angel needs, or will he give in to his anger and pain, and ruin both their lives?

Heartbreaking

It’s heartbreaking to follow Angel as he deals with his father though and then he struggles to allow Casey to help him.

sweet and different

a sweet, sad and endearing story with "Bully" who's really a sweet bear trying to survive and his boy, a middle finding himself and his happiness. I loved these two, their interactions and chemistry. the middle play was different to what I've read before but it was sweet. I loved sweet Angel and hope we see more of him and Casey Bear in more stories!!

Different than expected

I’m reviewing the audio version. I’m also updating my previous review. The story has Angel being abused and still taking care of his father. His father isn’t a nice person in any way so I have problems with him still looking out for him. Casey is what Angel needed. Even though he is Angel’s boss, Casey is perfect for a personal relationship with Angel. Casey has had relationship problems before but he fits with Angel. There is an age gap with these two but that doesn’t cause any problems matter of fact it probably helps. Casey has had an issue with Angel’s dad previously but again that doesn’t really cause problems between Casey and Angel. While the majority will probably sympathize with Angel, I sort of felt bad for Casey. Yes he really needs to work on his anger problems but even when he tries he is still viewed as the bad guy. Angel I feel is too much a martyr. He looks after his dad when maybe he should try some tough love. I also think Ki Brightly’s writing has evolved quite a bit since writing this. I also feel Chris Boykin’s narration felt a little stiff in spots but maybe that is me.

An office romance with a difference

After a rocky start, Casey and Angel form an unlikely but loving couple. So nice to read a story with a middle instead of a little.

I wasn't a huge fan of the narrator, he felt a little stiff in places, but I'm glad I stuck with the story.

A slight twist on the Daddy trope

Angel needs protecting, loving and nurturing. He needs a big, gruff "Daddy", but that's also the furthest thing he needs right now. This will make more sense once you've read a few chapters.
I love the way Ki Brightly has managed to portay Casey's character to be exactly what Angel needs without going overboard. Not an easy feat to achieve with many hurt/comfort genre when what the boys needs is so close to what causes the need for comfort.
Also well done on the saucy scenes, they were well and truly spicey!
