While all the parts are there theoretically, this book just isn't for me. It's not incredibly well written, there is a lot of infantilization, and the smut is a bit awkward. While I often look the other way with some morally grey situations in books (age gaps, virgins ect ect) this just too weird with all the kid stuff. I understand that trauma can influence kinks, and age play is a thing but I am personally very uncomfortable with the way it's portrayed in this.
While I love a Daddy kink, and I love other books with virginity stuff and age gaps, the fact that this girl meets this stranger on her 18th birthday and stays in a child's room, and that's where they do most of the spice...in an actual childs room...not even a room they made with childlike things for her, it's a real childs room...no thank you. I know by the end they recognize that she's an adult and they should be partners instead of him always treating her like a child but it was all a little too icky for me
It's a quick read so not much time lost but all in all not very good in my opinion. The audio book is alright.

Okay, I’m all about this +18 dating older guys and the « daddy » kink. BUT this was… awful, cringe, and uncomfortable. The girl is 18 on paper but in her mind and the guy mind, she is a 10 years old and that became a book I’m going to say it, close to pedophilia. I read mafia, torture, rape so nothing really choc me because it’s only books but that was too problematic for me.
