I’m not really an anthology kind of
person. I usually only buy them for the
one work that a favorite author put out.
Like in this case, I actually bought this just so I could read Mafia
Daddy by Renee Rose and Daddy Ever After by Measha Stone. That is not to say that some of my favorite
authors are not included in the 25 stories in this anthology, but that
I really wanted Ms Rose’s and Ms Stone’s novellas.
That being said, I have taken the
time to read all 25 of the novellas and below are my individual reviews on each
one.
Her Savage Mountain Daddy by Madison Faye
If you are going to be “kidnapped” and taken into protective
custody, would you really want it to be by anyone other than Cormac? I hot alpha male who loves to be “Daddy” for
his little girl. This book has a little
bit of age play as he is almost twice her age, but once he loves he loves hard
and for keeps. Nina is very
inexperienced in all ways of the world and is thrust into the unknown through
no fault of her own. Of course, her
choice to listen to the questionable advice of her roomie she makes all on her
own. Luckily Cormac steps in to save the
day. If you’re looking for a hot alpha
male to be your disciplinarian, then this is the novella for you.
5 stars
Mafia Daddy by Renee Rose
The novella that prompted me to purchase this anthology. I
am still in love with the alpha males of Ms Rose’s mafia men of the Vegas
Underground series. Jenna needs a firm hand when she goes wild following a
broken arranged marriage contract. Luckily for her it comes in the form of
Alex, one of her dad’s men. The steam is super hot as these two work towards
their HEA.
5 stars
Daddy's Little Captive by Loki Renard
Dominic can visit my restaurant any time. He is the
quintessential bad boy, the one who leads good girls astray. I was a little put
off by Marina though as she acts more like a twit than anything else. She loves
Dominic you can tell, but she basically lets the police and everyone else bully
her into their way of thinking. At least she doesn’t testify against Dominic, I
will give her that.
3 stars
There Once Was a Girl by Maggie Ryan
It’s funny how seeing someone in a place you didn’t expect
makes you realize what they mean to you. Bailey couldn’t be more innocent when
she enters the club, fortunately Griffith is there to rescue her from herself.
Like all novellas, this one is quick and dirty. The love is both felt and implied
in the length of relationship although the dynamics are new. The enjoyment
comes in knowing that they have finally become what they are meant to be and
reached their HEA.
4 stars
Daughter #13 by Zoe Blake
This story was a little odd. It started out kind of
stalkerish, but then it switches to the feeling that a separate entity is
trying to acquire Devon. Of course we later learn they are one and the same.
Overall the story was pretty good, especially because Devon and Reid manage to
get their HEA.
3 stars
Monsters of Mercy by Alta Hensley
I liked this one. Because I would seriously prefer to earn
my own penance under one master then by death or many takers. I was a little
disappointed in the ending though. The story was moving along perfectly and
then bam, the ending happened. Maybe there was a word limit to be included in
the anthology, but I would have enjoyed a more well spaced ending to actually
bring me closer rather than suddenly hitting a wall.
3 stars
Dueling Daddies by Lee Savino
Yummy. Two daddies who want the lead in this quick dirty
little story. Too bad Evie is used to listening to her aunt and doesn’t realize
her guys want only her. Luckily they won’t take no for an answer forcing her to
see herself in a new light and their love for her. Such a wonderful HEA.
3 stars
Daddy of Mine by J.L. Beck
This novella was very convoluted and confusing. The basic of
the story was excellent, but then you add in her mom is his soon to be ex-wife
and his step-dad is the guy who she’s been obsessing over for 3 years. I really
enjoyed that he was able to punish the guy who hurt her so severely and that
they finally achieved their HEA.
3 stars
Professor Daddy by Jane Henry
This book is a softer version of the typical Dom. Geoffrey
is no less of a Dom just because he is soft and gentle soul. He takes Giada
under his wing when he realizes what she really needs. He gives her the
structure and discipline she needs while deriving the Daddy persona that he
needs. I enjoyed that they manage to get their HEA.

Rainy Day Daddy by Isabella Laase
I need to find me a rainy day Daddy. Nora is a complete
brat! It’s not that I don’t understand why and sympathize with her
situation, but she is an adult it’s time to grow up. Caden has the patience of
a saint. Even after she broke his plane he tried to remain calm. Luckily for
them both, she pushed him too far letting them build a relationship and win
their HEA.
4 stars
Trusting Daddy by Kelly Dawson
This is a gentle domination. Cain is no less Tessa’s Daddy
because he is gentle. He turns her wayward ways into a focus that she needs
after the death of her father. Together they conquer the rodeo circuit and find
their HEA.
4 stars
My Marine Daddies by Sara Fields
Dani is a girl handed a rough life. She thought she found
her way to something better until she met three marines. Jayce, Seth and Alex
went looking for a good time and instead found a good life. This story was a
little rough, but the story line was good and I loved the fact that the marines
rode to the rescue.
3 stars
Biker Daddy Gunner by Kara Kelley
I have been waiting for this book to come out. Layla has
always acted like a brat and an irresponsible mom. Something in her past shaped
her just like going to war shaped Trevor. When she and her son get kidnapped by
a rival club, hard truths come out and they are finally able to have their HEA.
I hope we get to see what happens with the rest of the guys in the MC.
4 stars
Daddy Ever After by Measha Stone
I love the men of the Annex and Hunter is one of my
favorites. He has this gruff facade that really hides his marshmallow heart.
Well when he meets Jaelynn anyway. It’s a shame she will have to play the long
game for her retribution, but at least she will have Hunter to soothe her soul.
I can’t wait to see what happens with the men of the Annex next.
5 stars
Finding Her Place by Amelia Smarts
This novella was okay, but it felt a little lacking. The
story makes you think he will be a forcefully strong Daddy, but he is lacking
the force. I could feel the strength in him but I kept expecting a slightly
darker side that never manifested. Kayla is a nosey college student who lost
her way for a while and a strong Daddy is what she needs. I enjoyed watching
their relationship grow and the fact they reached their HEA.
3 stars
Double Dippin' Daddies by Mary Wehr
I really enjoyed this book. At least until the very end.
There was a lot of emphasis on the mom running away and the aunt being bitter,
there is even a mention that Ethan and Reed were going to research what
happened but we are left hanging. Up until the end the story is perfect. Two
strong daddies showing their girl the love and support she needs. At least they
get there HEA.
4 stars
Disappointing Her Daddies by Maddie Taylor
This one is a little different as the two daddies and Erica
are already an established threesome from the beginning. Poor Erica is thrown
for a loop when she realizes what she thought she submitted and what was
submitted were two very different things. Luckily, after a fair amount of
angst, everything gets sorted and the three of them are able to get back to
their HEA.
4 stars
Daddy's Naughty Girl by Meredith O'Reilly
This one is another established couple. For whatever reason
Kate has a few hangups where she can’t yet relinquish all control over. But
with a supportive daddy, she manages to finally put all of her trust in him.
This book is a great representation of a steady long term marriage.
4 stars
Bruised Not Broken by Morganna Williams
It’s a shame Daisy had to suffer hurt and pain from her long
distance Daddy, but it forced Jethro to make his move. How difficult it must be
to know the woman you love is having a committed long distance relationship
with someone she has never seen in person. The only plus is that Jethro is
secure in the knowledge that he is the only Daddy who has actually touched her.
Not a bad read.
4 stars
Tri-ing For Daddy by Katherine Deane
I really enjoyed this novella. The perfect alpha male meets
his perfect woman during her lowest point. He struggles with her loss and pain
even before she realizes she has him. The fact that he pursues her and then
pushes her to strive to a new goal is icing on the cake. They both deserve the
HEA that might have been taken from them forever.
5 stars
Blue Collar Daddy by Alexis Alvarez
It’s so funny what a small world we really live in. The
unexpected arrival of her knight to the rescue, ends up being a blast from the
past. A blast that ends up being her HEA. Zack is a Daddy who doesn’t mind a little
bit of sass and teasing from his baby girl. He’s the perfect match for Kiera, a
sassy woman who needs a firm hand to remember the little things.
4 stars
Trained by Him by Shelly Douglas
Lori is a bestselling author who decided to change her
genre. Unfortunately, her BDSM is a little on the vanilla side for her readers.
As luck would have it, her editor knows the perfect solution for her. Could the
little matchmaker have gotten it anymore right? The HEA seems to indicate
that he was right on the money. My only complaint is that I would have liked it
to have a kiss at the end when they came to a more long-term relationship. I
mean it is romance after all.
4 stars
Taking Helena in Hand by Sassa Daniels
I enjoyed this story. A tough Scottish Daddy not only takes
Helena in hand, but saves her from herself and her stalker. This is one of
those novellas that by the end of page one the reader is completely vested in
the outcome of the story.
4 stars
Bodyguard Daddy by Marlee Wray
I love this story! The tough ex-soldier gets the shock
of his life when a seemingly random woman knocks on his door. Fortunately for
her he answers. He is her protector, her daddy and eventually her man. The
story has plenty of heat and just enough love to keep you interested and reading
for more. Like all good tales, it has a HEA.
5 stars
Daddy's Princess by Rory Reynolds
This is the perfect novella to end the book! I am in
love with Gage. He is the perfect alpha male and soo in love with Estella that
it makes you swoon. Estella may not have realized it, but she was saving
herself for Gage. They are the best couple. I wonder if Andrew is anything like
Gage and if he is still single.

Official published review:
The book you won’t be able to put down for hours
What a wonderful collection of novellas! There is
plenty of steam and control to keep you reading all the way until the end. I
purchased this mostly because of Renee Rose’s and Measha Stone’s contributions,
but I found so many hidden gems within the 25 stories included. I can’t wait to
see what these authors are able to imagine up next.
5 stars
Happy Reading
