What I liked the most: - Russ and Cal as the main characters, I liked how realistic they felt - the humor and the banter between them - their relationship with their kids - the camping - their group of friends The only thing that didn't work for me was the way the intimate scenes were written. It's the first in the Single Dads Club series, but can be read as a standalone.moreģ.5 stars This was my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it overall, especially the first half of the story. The Falcon and the Foe is an MM enemies-to-lovers romance containing hot single dads, sizzling snarky banter, pitched tent puns, skinny dipping, and an HEA. We’d both sworn off romance to focus on fatherhood, and nothing’s going to change that, not even sharing a too-small tent in the wilderness. Maybe he isn’t the completely wretched human being I thought. Thing is, the more we work together, the more I glimpse the caring man lurking under the cold exterior. I can’t let him wrest control of The Falcons and have history repeat itself - no matter how hot he looks in his khaki uniform. To me? He’s the bane of my picket-fenced existence - stuck up, anal (not in the fun way), and definitely the person who got me booted from the Parent Teacher Association. Sexy Widower who lords over the drop off line. To all other parents, he’s #DadGoals, Mr. There’s just one ginormous problem: the other scout leader Russ.

While faithful followers will eat up every Easter egg, nod, and callout to what's come before, more casual viewers might find themselves a little lost. If the show stumbles at all, it's in its inaccessibility to newcomers. In fact, some of the series' best moments come not when the characters are battling supervillains, but when they're helping out a family member or friend, or even facing their own inner turmoil. While it contains the key elements we've come to expect from the property, its episodic nature allows it to dig deeper, significantly expanding on characters that were previously overshadowed by the core team of crime fighters. Everything about the show, including - most critically - its heart and humor, will feel comfortably familiar to anyone who's laughed, cried, or cheered during a Marvel film.ĭespite sticking to the franchise's reliable formula, though, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier never feels like a tired retread. But it's not just the flashy special effects and thrilling battles that have made the jump from the movies to Sam Wilson's and Bucky Barnes' episodic adventure. This is immediately apparent in the Disney+ superhero series' action scenes: extended, seat-of-the-pants sequences packed with enough polished production values to rival any that have splashed across the big screen. If Marvel's WandaVision was like a fancy, gourmet meal containing some ingredients you couldn't quite pronounce, then The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is akin to a heaping pile of comfort food just begging to satisfy your cravings.
