I love being taken out of my comfort zone, and this story does just that. Her Bossy Daddy is the story of Liam and Lacey. They are an online couple, never having met personally and now find themselves face to face at work! Liam is Lacey's new boss, and their chemistry is palpable. But will their online relationship translate to real life? Adaline Raine has taken today's dating and put the twist of age play into the center of it! Lacey is a character I had trouble connecting to, at times immature and just bratty. Liam has that real feeling of protectiveness which I love. But not only is this a daddy book, but it has an interesting side story as well. It's a quick listen, steamy, and fun.

Jack Calihan narrates this with a raspy,Irish accent. With his voice, you feel Liam's take charge personality both at work and at home. He makes this an easy, enjoyable listen.

I read this book as a favor to a friend. I'm not a big Daddy Dom/Little fan. She thought I would become one after reading this book. She was wrong.

Lacey was irritating and immature. While reading this, I felt as though there was something in her past that could explain her behavoir, but nothing was ever detailed. Or at least I inferred it from a couple of things mentioned in the book. I could be wrong.

Next we have Liam and Lacey in a TWO year ONLINE D/s relationship. Did I read that correctly? They had this relationship and had never met in person. Hmmm.

Liam had the patience of a saint, and Lacey behaved as if she lost her mind. Her ultimate explanation for her behavior was so feeble, I had to read it again to make sure I read it correctly. I understand some shock and anxiety, but she seemed to take it over the top. Once again, it could just be me.

Then, Liam asks her to NOT involve herself in something going on with him at work, and she can't manage to control herself enough to do as he asks regarding HIS career.

The Millie situation made no sense. Even after it was explained, the only thing I could think was how idiotic the situation and explained coming from a woman that was supposed to excel at her job. She didn't think her actions through any better than that?

I got more information about Liam's background in one chapter than I got about Lacey and her background after reading the entire book.

There were other things that bothered me, but basically, their relationship seemed liked a constant struggle from before the moment Liam's shoes hit US soil; from when Lacey hung up on their call.

Fortunately, I read this book via Kindle Unlimited. I would recommend you read this book and judge for yourself, but it did nothing for me. It definitely did not endear me to the whole Daddy/Little genre. it did nothing for me. It definitely did not endear me to the whole Daddy/Little genre.

Her Bossy Daddy By Adaline Raine is a daddy dom novel that I listened to on audio narrated by Jack Calihan.  

This is the first book by Adaline that I have read/listened to and it definitely won’t be my last. This book has a spin of an office romance and a daddy dom relationship.  Adaline does a great job pulling you into the story. I just had to know how it was going to end. 

Jack did an amazing job narrating. I really enjoyed the different voices he used for each character. But my favorite was definitely his Irish accent for Liam. I look forward to his finding other projects that he has worked on.

Lacey and Liam have been seeing each other for two years. Liam is Lacey’s dominant. They have been long distance until Liam gets a promotion and winds up working in the same place as Lacey. Things get steamy quickly. Lacey is terrified of what his being there will change for them. She’s terrified of not being good enough for him.
This story was okay. It wasn’t really my thing. I was kind of curious because I’d seen people talking about it constantly on my social media feed. That being said, I don’t think it’s a bad book. It’s just not a book for me. I’m sure that there are plenty of readers who will find this book amazing. And I’m very happy for them. I can say that I managed to get through this book very quickly.
I had no real connection with the characters at all. I somewhat related to Lacey because people made snide remarks about her weight. It’s like if people don’t meet society’s standard of beauty, they are nothing. That’s just how it goes. But I digress. I had no connection with the characters, and I didn’t really feel any development in any of them. That could be because of my personal preferences though.
The narrator was great, but he just didn’t fit this book. I feel like this book would have been told better with a female and male duo. I could even recommend some narrators for the job. I also feel like if Liam was Irish, he should have given Liam a more Irish accent. As I said though, he isn’t a bad narrator. I just don’t feel he fits this particular book.
This was a decent book. It’s a refreshingly short read and isn’t all that horrible. I can’t say it was my favorite book. I will also not be rereading it at all. But it was a decent book. For those of you who like the lifestyle and more erotic stories, have at it. I fully recommend the story to you. I will say this. I did enjoy the cover very much. It is very attention-grabbing.

I made it a little over half way through before I stopped. I wasn’t a huge fan of the narration or the story.
