This book is offensive on so many levels it almost boggles the mind. I had read "Daddy, Daddy and Me" by Sean Michael and enjoyed it, so I decided to try another of his books. I made it to about page 25, and was so angry with the direction the book seemed to be headed that I returned it to Kindle for a refund, citing "Offensive Content" as the reason - not an exaggeration because it offended my intelligence in a huge way. First of all: SIX KIDS!!!!? All of them apparently with names beginning with the letter "B" - talk about a way to dehumanize the kids, make them indistinguishable from each other. Second: arguing about whether the oatmeal they're having for breakfast is called "oats" or "porridge" - come on, give me a break. Third: these two supposedly grown young men are totally incapable of working together to put the interests of the kids first; then they have a knockdown, drag out, bloody-nosed battle which turns almost immediately into the hottest sexfest either of them has had in years - and they still can't put the kids first. That's when I gave up. I may try another Sean Michael book, but it will take a while for me to work up the intestinal fortitude.
