Many thanks to Dylan Drakes for providing me with this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Two burly men finding love and acceptance in the middle of a forest? Hell yes. 

Cubs & Campfires is probably the cutest and coziest MM romance I've read. 
The banter, the sizzling chemistry, the unabashed acceptance, and bodily worship between Luca and Artair had me giggling and kicking my feet. Throw in a fox who thinks he's a dog, and I'm head over heels in love with this series.

Dylan did an amazing job of painting the picture of their surroundings and what they were feeling without going overboard and boring me. I think my only critique (and this is a veeeeery small one) is that I wish it was dual POV. I would have loved some insight into Artair's thoughts apart from his conversations with Luca. But that didn't detract from my rating and reading experience. 

I just can't believe we have to wait until May 2025 for Bears & Bakeries.
