Yeah this book was the peak defination of TRASH.

The hero treated the heroine so so badly and at the end chalked it up being a defense mechanism because he was scared of his "feelings"

Wow this was amazing!! Start to finish. I was completely hooked from the beginning to the end. I loved the way the characters were written and this spice was amazing. Lots of plot and character development here too.

This was fine. If you've read other books with a DDLG relationship, this will probably be about average as far as the dynamic goes. It did feel like their relationship development was lacking to me. Especially considering how much baggage they both had.

Ok, so where to begin with this cover. It is a great cover. It has good composition and title work. The man on the cover looks to be about the age of the hero. BUT and this is a BIG but and also a major pet peeve of mine. The hero is a golden blonde in this book. That guy on the cover...NOT a golden blonde. Probably not a biggie for most readers, but I am a picky cover whore, and it drives me BONKERS when the cover models don't match the characters found within.

WOWZA...was this one good. It was SO close to being a 5 Star read for me. The only thing stopping it was I felt it was a little slow moving in places. That was just a very tiny issue in an otherwise fantastic read. If you follow my reviews on here, you know me and DADDY kink are #besties. I LOVE me a well written DD/lg book and this one may be one of the best I have ever read.

The writing was fantastic (no surprise Eve's writing always is). The pace, as I mentioned above, I had some small issues with. The plot was engaging and intelligent. It was fairly angsty, but there was no OW/OM drama. The sex scenes were SMOKIN' hot. Like fan yourself and get a change of panties hot. In fact, do yourself a favor and just leave your panties off when reading this. Save yourself some laundry. *lol* It had humor. It had feels (OMG the letter Kate wrote near the end had me bawling like a baby).



There was a nice collection of eclectic secondary characters, and both main characters were for the most part very likable. There were certain times I found myself frustrated with Tyler and not liking him a whole lot and times when I wanted to shake Kate and say "wake the f@ck up! You deserve better." But that is the magic of storytelling. Lastly, this was wrapped up in an OK ending. Personally "I" would have liked a bit more. That said, there may be a novella coming (hopefully), and I am sure we will see this couples HEA in that book. Not much left to say really, this one gets two HUGE thumbs up from yours truly.

That was weird, sweet and crazy. I loved main characters and the way her friends helped her to grow.

 I realized pretty early-on that the kinks explored in this book aren’t really my bag, but the writing was engaging and the story was interesting so I stuck with it and I’m glad I did. The MCs had more depth than I expected and I was genuinely invested in their stories. I loved that the FMC finds herself/gains confidence doing something entirely unrelated to the romance/relationship. I also loved that they explored a somewhat complicated kink situation and it wasn’t just perfect and easy right out of the gate.
