Daddy's Little Camping Trip

by Della Cain, Kaytea Kat

My idea of roughing it is a 3-star hotel, and here I am signing up for a weeklong camping adventure.

My ideal vacation includes, day spas, theater, and fine dining—not bugs, dirt, and bears. When Chained announces its Little Summer Camp, I have no interest. None. Why can’t it be a week in Paris or splashing in white-foamy waves and playing on the beach on some tropical island? I could really use a week of being little and surrounded by playmates.

During a night of little fun, the hot daddy I’ve been eyeing asks me if I’m going. I forget the thousands of reasons I shouldn’t be and sign up on the spot. What am I thinking?

Daddy’s Little Camping Trip is a sweet age play romance featuring a little used to the finer things in life, the daddy who wins his heart, trying new things, snuggles, cuddles, stuffies, footie jams, a memorable week at Chained’s new summer camp, a bear or two (both kinds), true love, and a guaranteed happily ever after. If you like your romances on the Hallmark side but a bit kinkier, check out Daddy’s Little Camping Trip by USA Today Bestselling author Della Cain and her bestie and frequent partner in crime, Kaytea Kat.

Quill + Gilbraith 🖤

What's even the deal with these names. I dont know. But anyway, this was a cute and sweet daddy and little book. Pretty innocent. Borderline closed door. Maybe 1 pepper spice. Two small, veryyy basic, quick, and non-detailed scenes.

Tropes/content:
Daddy + little
Camping
Two non campers camping because they knew the other would be there
Scavenger hunt together
G doing daddy things before he's ever Quills daddy. Such as drive into town to get him sunscreen and ointment for his bug bites. Gets his attention at the lake every hour so he can help him reapply sunscreen.
Quill eventually moves to Daddy's glamping dome and out of his tent
Their first time is outside on the back deck
Bareback after discussion
Open door but very quick, non detailed scenes
Bath time
Gifts
Chicken nuggies and sippy cups

Warnings:
None that I noticed

This Found by Daddy series is so sweet and entertaining. I can't stop reading them. With this one Quill and daddy Gil are two lovely souls who meet at Chained played together and the rest is romantic history. I thought it was hilarious that both wasn't a fan of camping but was willing to go just to be with the other. So lovely and sweet. Nice daddy/little romance with a little play...sexy times and satisfying HEA...as always with this series. Keeps you coming back for more:)

This book is another addition to the short, sweet, kinky Daddy/little stories centered around Chained, and with Bridger and Hudson to tie them together. When Quill goes to Chained for a little evening to de-stress, he finds an unattached Daddy to play with. At the end of the evening, Daddy G asks Quill if he is going on the Daddy/little camping trip. Hoping that Daddy G plans to go, Quill says yes, and both sign up. Now camping with tents and things is NOT high on the list of favorite activities for either of them, but the chance to spend time together makes the idea worthwhile. When Daddy G discovers there are alternatives to the tents, he rents a “glamping dome” in the woods for his stay, while Quill is scheduled for a tent with a little he doesn’t know. The first night, Quill’s roommate ruins his sleep and leaves the tent open to mosquitoes all night long, keeping Quill awake and covered in bites. Daddy comes to the rescue, taking Quill to his dome for the next night for some special togetherness time of the conversational and physical kind, setting off a connection to pursue once the trip is over.
These stories are cute and sweet, the Daddies and Littles finding their perfect match, often anchored on a lost item or shared experience. The stories are very low angst, with adorable Littles and responsible Daddies, there to take care of and cherish their boys, and always with a happy ending. For a light-hearted escape at any time, I recommend these stories to put smiles on your face and leave a feeling of satisfaction at the end,.

'He looked down at me and asked if I was going.
Normally, I would’ve cracked up at that. He saw my lace shorts and my kitty-cat ears. What part of that shouted camping? There were a thousand reasons going was a bad idea, and every one of them related to camping itself.
But what did I do instead?
I said, “Oh, that looks like fun,” marched over to Ms. Lily, and put down my name.
Please let Daddy be going too, because it was the only thing that could make bears eating my feet in the middle of the night worth it.'

I really enjoyed this book. I loved both Quill and Gilbraith. Theirs was such a fun, sweet romance with an adventure both the Little and the Daddy weren't very interested in, until Gil asked Quill if he was going, and immediately Quill signed up in hopes of spending time with the Daddy he'd had his eyes on. Since he'd given the impression he was going and Quill signed up, Gilbraith signed up as well. His vacation might have been canceled because of work, but spending time with the Little would salvage his weekend.

These two were really cute together. I liked that they both really didn't like camping lol Though Gil had a better time of it than poor Quill. I liked the way the two of them grew close and connected. A fun read.

'That was the worst part of the day— having to say goodbye before I was ready. Even if I was going to be seeing him again in an hour.
I was falling head over heels for this guy. And fast.'

Not many people love camping, many like it and those who do love it have probably had the experience that Quill and Gil are treated to, eventually! Firstly they have to both find themselves signing up for the Little's camping event that Miss Lily is planning, they have to make sure they have all they need and poor Quill has to spend a night being attacked by what seems to be every midge in the area!

Quill is a little but he has no daddy. He has other Little friends he sees when he goes to the club but more often than not he goes home alone and for the most part that is fine. He has however seen Gil at the club a few times, finds him good looking and would love a chance to get to know him. Gil didn't think he was really looking for anything more than a relaxing night out but after spending time with the cute Quill. he feels a pull and finds himself signing up for the camping trip. After agreeing to try out the new facilities at the campsite and spending a wonderful day with Gil he finally manages to encourage the other man to spend a night with him. The pair don't look back after that!

A charming novella, the 14th in the series which goes from strength strength and gets cuter with each story. It is a delight to find out what situations Della Cain is going to give her Littles and Daddy's each time and this one was quite simply a wonderful adventure.

This is book 14 in the Found By Daddy series. Each book is a short, sweet, kinky Daddy/little story about a different couple. The series is bound together by the club Chained and by the couple Bridger and Hudson. This is the story of Quill and Gilbraith. Both men have been working very hard and decide to take a night at Chained to decompress. Quill is a little and Gil is a daddy. They meet and hit it off. When Gil innocently asks if Quill is going to the upcoming Little/Daddy camping trip, Quill immediately signs up thinking that Gil wants to go. Gil of course immediately signs up as well, believing that Quill wants to go. In reality, neither one of them is a fan of camping nor roughing it. This is their story. The book is written well and is easy to read. I enjoyed their experiences while camping. This is a fun book to read. A nice, light hearted romance.

Galbraith was looking forward to his summer vacation in the Bahamas when his boss reformed him that he was going to need to cancel his vacation. He was extremely disappointed and decided to unwind at Chained. That is where he was approached by a little named Quill. Quill went to Chained to play with like-minded little Friends and hopefully find a mommy or daddy to play with for the night. When he saw the man that he had been attracted to you for some time inside the little room he knew that he was a daddy. When said Daddy asked him if he was signing up for the little camping trip he made the impulsive decision to sign up and help suspending more time with him. I found this to be very entertaining sometimes outright hilarious and very sweet.

[Mandy (MP Book Reviews) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a story about Quill, a man who prefers luxury and city life, but signs up for a week-long camping trip at "Little Summer Camp" to impress a man he's interested in. Quill would rather be on a relaxing vacation with spas and fine dining, and he initially has no interest in a rugged camping trip. However, when a man he's been watching, a "hot daddy" named Gilbraith, asks if he's going, Quill immediately agrees. He instantly regrets his impulsive decision, but the prospect of spending time with Gilbraith is enough to make him face a week of dirt, bugs, and bears.

This was a sweet story about the two men who met via their shared kinks and a club camping trip. As with this type of story it is also an instalove. There was some scene setting but it was quite high level. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

[Amy Weller · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book! The story of Gilbraith and Quill begins when extra time put in at work gives them both an extra free weekend. Gilbraith will lose his yearly week in the Bahamas but it will end up being so much better. The two actually meet at Chained and spend time together. When Gilbraith asks Quill if he’s going on the Daddy/little camping trip coming up, he says yes. They plan to meet there and have an absolutely wonderful weekend. They continue their relationship once they return home and the camping trip neither planned to go on turns out to be the best trip of their lives as it set them on the path to their happily ever after!.

"Please let Daddy be going too, because it was the only thing that could make bears eating my feet in the middle of the night worth it."

This is book 14 in the Found by Daddy series written by Della Cain and Kaytea Kat. I love these quick little reads. See how I used little there, lol? When these books pop up on Booksprout, I normally grab them to read and review.

This is probably my least favorite of the series. The connection between these two characters wasn't as rich as the connections, between main characters, in the other books I've read in this series. With that being said I still enjoyed the story and it had some cute funny parts.

First time roughing it, glamping is wonderful, burned hot dogs, motivation through winning

[Fiona · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this light hearted MM romance. Quill is a Little who works hard but doesn’t have a Daddy to ensure he has downtime to enjoy being Little. He learns about a camping trip in his group chat with other Littles and then decides to go to Chained and that’s where he decides he’s going to go camping after he meets a Daddy by the name of Gilbraith or Daddy G as he introduces himself to Quill. It’s while they go on this camping trip that relationship develops and they go onto live a happily ever after together.

Quill is a busy little. He works hard at his work and needs a weekend away, but work has deadlines and he can’t go. Gilbraith works hard too. His week long vacation has to be canceled. An evening at Chained throws the two together and the next thing you know, they are going on a camping weekend for Daddy’s and Little’s.

Even though camping isn’t either one of their favorite activities, they go and meet up and have the best time ever, in spite of the bugs!

Finding your forever Daddy and little is everything both hoped for.

This story had me chuckling at the conundrum Gilbraith and Quill managed to get themselves in. Neither WANTED to go to the campground, yet both went thinking the other wanted to be there. Ha!! Never you fear though, Cain made sure both men had a very good time while "camping".😉 One thing about her books, I can guarantee when I finish reading them I will have a smile on my face and at least a flutter in my heart. They're a guaranteed pick-me-up on a down or dreary day.

I voluntarily reviewed a gift copy of this book. Happy Reading Y'all

Needs met and exceeded! Quill and Gilbraith, both need the camping trip because of stressful jobs even though it's not their ideal. Quill is not an outdoor man, but he says he's going on the trip because he wants to spend time with Gil. They explore more than the outdoors and find they are compaitble. Their fun doesn't end when the trip ends. Della, has created another couple that need each other and find solace in their relationship. Nicely done.

Sweet installment of this Daddy-little series. As usual, however, the action and relationship seems rushed. I suspect it's because the authors don't want to exceed a certain length so everything is put on fast forward. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the story setting, as it was a nice departure from the usual. The characters were good, though like the story, not a lot of time for development.

So overall, a quick pick-me-up after a long day. Some day I'd like to see the authors do a full novel with lots of emotional development and memorable characters. The potential is there.

[Cindy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quill was a Little who liked the finer things in life and abhorred camping. Daddy G arranges to meet him at Chained 's Little camping weekend but he hates roughing it too so he gets a dome to " glamp". The two hit it off with the usual fun times and find out they like each other, enough to glamp again. This one is light on chemistry and spice. I received this through BookSprout and this is my voluntary opinion.

[Syd Springer · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a really sweet book. I loved Quill and Gil together. These two play together at Chained but they are wanting to spend more time together and they decide to do a camping trip together even though they both hate camping. These two are really sweet and steamy together and get a great HEA. This was a great addition to this series.

Little stories are usually entertaining and so was this one. The attraction between Gilbraith and Quill was instant and from there they explored to see if they had a future together. It’s a fun read and one that I enjoyed.

Neither Gilbraith nor Quill were fans of camping but had fun at the Little Summer Camp. However the best is they started their relationship.

Sweet, fun and heartwarming.

I love this book and the whole series. It’s cute, it’s light, just right, if you want all the little fun you can get packed in a great book with chemistry, storyline and a sweet happy ever after.

Quill & Gil

This one took me a little bit to get into. I'm glad that I kept going with it though. I liked Quill and Gil together once they started enjoying the camping trip and I appreciated their happily ever after.

Oh my gosh, I love each and everyone of this series! I am hoping that the authors will do a few more because I really enjoyed it! I was very sad to finish the last book.

This is a cute, angst-free and enjoyable escapist story without a lot of character development but enough personality to deliver exactly what you expect for a short, sweet tale.

Great story

I really enjoyed this story. This was such a sweet and cute story and I loved how the characters went out of their comfort zones just for each other. It was also fun to see a few familiar characters in passing.

Another wonderful, fun Daddy/Boy story. Neither of the main characters like camping but they do like each other. The camping trip brings them together. It's a sweet, romantic story and I loved it. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
