I devoured this! 😍
I love that the entire Murphy family rallies behind Caitlin when her father dies, whether she knew it or not, is so beautiful! We all deserve this type of love and support, especially at our lowest moments.
Caitlin and Cormac though.. holy moly 😍 The chemistry between them is OFF THE CHARTS EXPLOSIVE. Trust me on this. I could not stop reading! The outlet he gives her to just be her, but with rules, did so much for her! Beginning Caitlin and ending Caitlin are so different! I loved this!

I love these Irish mafia stories and Make Me, Daddy was wonderful!
Caitlin is the epitome of a sassy and bratty heroine, always pushing the buttons of those around her, especially Cormac.
Cormac, a handsome, muscular Irish man, who loves to use his belt to get his point across. Although his hand works just as well..
Fabulous and passionate story!

Part of the Boston Kings series hang on and buckle up this is a wild ride, dangerous men, alpha’s personified, possessive, oh, gorgeous, brooding all the makings of a story consisting with three D’s (dark, delicious, and dirty) 😊. There will be suspense, betrayal, death, darkness, secrets reveled, violence, hope, forgiveness, and maybe even love (ALL THINGS TO EXPECT FROM THE MAFIA WORLD). By the time you’ve figured out who is who and what is what, you’re already hooked, and you may as well give up the fight and prepare yourself for an all-nighter! CAN’T SAY YOU WEREN’T WARNED!!!!!. Caitlin is sassy, feisty, loves pushing others to the point of no return, finds herself alone after a heist that could land her in behind bars resulted in her father death and a friend of her father’s steps in taking the much needed control. Cormac sexy as all get out Irish mafia a disciplinary but caring at the same time and steps in taking his friends daughter to Boston with him to take care of her but he knows she is going to need his belt to get her in line. He understood her displaced anger at her father for checking out after her mother’s death but yet some of her actions needed corrections, her anger at the way her life had turned but Cormac was so gentle with her loving and showed her that it is okay to be angry but it isn’t okay to take it out on others around you add to that the back and forth within Cormac because his heart is not involved but will his girl learn, will she get on tract with a life that both her parents would be proud of her for, will she learn to be proud of herself, and can she find happiness with her daddy?.

Daddy et girl

Intéressante. J'adore cette famille.
Mais dommage que l'histoire a perdu en émotion vers la fin.
📖
Je ne vais pas simplement la faire mienne. Je vais la faire m'appeler papa.
Caitlin McCormick a l'habitude de faire ce qu'elle veut, mais ça va bientôt changer.
Elle est assise sur un siège rouge vif parce que j'ai promis à son père que je veillerais sur elle, mais elle est dans mon jet privé en route pour Boston avec moi parce qu'elle a besoin de quelque chose de plus.
Un papa.
Quelqu'un qui lui donnera une fessée quand elle aura été méchante, puis la plaquera contre le mur et prendra ce qui lui appartient.
Mais ce qui la fait vraiment rougir, ce n'est pas que je ne lui ai pas laissé le choix.
C'est que nous savons tous les deux qu'elle n'en voulait pas.
📚
🖋
Je n’avais pas vu Caitlin McCormick depuis qu’elle avait trois ans.
Elle contemplait la tombe de son père, les yeux embués d'émotion et les mains jointes autour de sa taille. Le vent fouettait ses longs cheveux blonds roux, les enroulant autour de son visage et cachant ses traits délicatement sculptés. Elle avait les yeux de sa mère, d'un vert émeraude brillant qui scintillait à la moindre lueur.
La mort de Nora McCormick s'est terminée bien trop tôt. Honnêtement, c'était sans aucun doute mon plus grand regret. Une partie de moi avait toujours eu l'impression que sa mort était de ma faute. Je me demandais si Caitlin se souvenait d'elle ou si elle était trop jeune pour se souvenir de quoi que ce soit d'autre que du visage aimant de sa mère.
Je soupirai, détournant les yeux de Caitlin pour fixer le sol. J'avais fait une promesse à sa mère il y a plus de dix ans, et j'avais l'intention de la tenir.
Il y a une quinzaine d'années, ma famille n'était pas dans la situation dans laquelle nous nous trouvons aujourd'hui. À l'époque, nous étions basés en Irlande plutôt qu'à Boston. Les Murphy s'étaient installés dans une banlieue pauvre de Dublin, où se trouvaient plusieurs autres familles beaucoup plus nombreuses. Kieran et moi avions travaillé ensemble pour nous tailler un petit territoire, mais cela ne s'était pas fait sans beaucoup de luttes et sans pertes encore plus grandes.
Les McCormick étaient de très bons amis, si proches que nous les considérions comme notre famille. Des années avant mon arrivée, les deux familles étaient devenues alliées grâce à un mariage arrangé et s'étaient simplement développées à partir de là. Le père de Caitlin, Finn, était pratiquement un frère adoptif dans la famille, et nous le traitions tous comme tel. Lorsqu'il a trouvé Nora et l'a épousée six mois plus tard, elle a été accueillie avec le même genre d'amour et de respect que nous lui avons témoigné.
J'ai étouffé un petit rire en me rappelant la tête qu'elle avait faite quand elle avait goûté pour la première fois au vrai whisky irlandais. Elle avait toujours dit à quel point elle détestait le whisky et lors de sa première réunion de famille, elle nous avait tous surpris en avalant le tout d'un trait avant de reposer le verre sur la table.
Elle était devenue un membre à part entière de notre famille après cela.
Je me souvenais encore du goût délicieux des scones aux myrtilles de Nora, comme si j'en avais mangé un hier. Elle était particulièrement douée en cuisine, et y penser ne faisait que me faire encore plus regretter sa présence.
Après quelques verres un soir, Finn et moi avions élaboré un plan pour agrandir l'Empire Murphy. Il y avait une maison de jeu à quelques rues du pub, juste à la frontière de notre territoire. Elle était gérée par une petite famille de Dublin, les O'Malley, mais ils ne faisaient pas grand-chose. Ils l'avaient menacée à plusieurs reprises dans le passé, mais ils aboyaient et ne mordaient pas, du moins c'était notre impression.
Cela aurait dû être une prise de contrôle facile.
Nous ne savions pas que les Gallagher venaient de signer un accord avec les O'Malley le week-end précédent, un pacte scellé par un mariage arrangé et l'annonce d'un enfant à naître.
Les jours suivants, Finn et moi avons approché Kieran. Une fois que nous avons eu la permission, nous avons commencé à nous préparer. Nous nous sommes assurés d’avoir suffisamment d’armes et de fusils pour équiper une petite armée d’hommes que nous emmènerions avec nous. Lorsque nous étions enfin prêts, nous nous sommes infiltrés lentement dans la salle de jeu, un membre à la fois entrant et plaçant un pari. Lorsque nous étions suffisamment nombreux à l’intérieur, nous avons pris le contrôle par la force.
Finn a pris plusieurs coups de feu, tout comme moi, mais à la fin de la journée, il n'y a eu que deux ou trois victimes. Nous ne le savions pas, mais l'un des hommes morts était le frère de la mariée. Nous pensions que c'était un énorme succès et nous avons fait fortune en pariant et en versant des pots-de-vin au cours des jours suivants. C'était le calme avant la tempête. Les Gallagher sont venus nous chercher plus tard dans la semaine. Ils voulaient que Finn et moi soyons morts pour rembourser une dette de sang envers quelqu'un qu'ils considéraient comme le leur.
Nous n'étions pas prêts.
Ils devaient nous surveiller depuis des jours. Finn, Nora et moi avions réservé une voiture pour nous emmener à un événement caritatif local et lorsque nous nous sommes arrêtés dans la zone VIP, ils nous ont tendu une embuscade. J'avais vu un mouvement du coin de l'œil, mais je n'avais pas été assez rapide. Un coup de feu a retenti, puis un autre. Une brûlure féroce m'a coupé l'abdomen, j'ai poussé Nora dans la voiture et me suis caché derrière la porte. Avec un sentiment de calme soudain, j'ai sorti mon propre pistolet et j'ai tiré plusieurs balles moi-même. Finn a fait de même de l'autre côté de la voiture. Nous étions tous les deux de bons tireurs et il ne nous a pas fallu longtemps pour éliminer les six hommes qui nous avaient attaqués. Ce n'est qu'à ce moment-là que j'ai risqué un coup d'œil vers le bas pour remarquer qu'il y avait du sang sur ma chemise.
J'ai été abattu.
Dans un brouillard de fureur et d'adrénaline, je me suis retourné pour trouver Nora affalée sur le siège. J'ai crié d'alarme, regardant autour de moi pour m'assurer que personne d'autre ne venait nous chercher. La ruelle était maintenant abandonnée. Les hommes qui nous avaient tendu une embuscade étaient soit partis, soit morts. En vérité, la seule chose qui comptait maintenant, c'était Nora.
Dans un état second, je m'assis à côté d'elle, presque trop terrifiée pour la toucher. Sa belle robe rose était tachée d'une mare de sang grandissante, et je l'ouvris précipitamment, essayant de trouver la blessure. Dans ma panique, je savais qu'elle perdait trop de sang, mais je n'étais pas prête à l'accepter. Puis j'ai vu la blessure. La balle avait déchiré sa poitrine et sa respiration saccadée et étouffée m'a dit que ses poumons se remplissaient de sang trop rapidement pour que je puisse même l'emmener à l'hôpital.
C'était trop tard.
Sa main s'enroula autour de mon poignet tandis que j'essayais d'appuyer sur la blessure. La porte de Finn s'ouvrit presque en claquant et son visage devint tout blanc à la vue de la scène qui se déroulait devant lui.
« Prends… soin… de ma Caitlin », murmura-t-elle, et je retins mes larmes.
« Nous allons vous chercher de l'aide », lâcha Finn, sa voix déjà brisée par un chagrin paniqué.
« Prends soin d’elle », insista à nouveau Nora.
Ses yeux étaient désespérés et je me rendis compte qu'elle avait à peine le temps de tenir. Les secondes qui lui restaient étaient précieuses. Même si je voulais le nier, je savais que la blessure était trop profonde et qu'elle avait déjà perdu trop de sang. Son visage était déjà pâle comme la mort et je retins mon chagrin pour qu'elle puisse profiter de quelques instants précieux avant ce que je savais déjà être inévitable. Chacun d'entre eux devait compter.
« Je veillerai sur elle pour toi. Finn et moi veillerons à ce qu'elle grandisse saine et sauve. Je te le promets », ai-je juré et la peur dans son regard s'est finalement estompée pour laisser place à une acceptation satisfaite.
J'appuyai plus fort sur la blessure et elle sourit. Mon cœur se brisa. Elle était déjà si mal en point qu'elle ne ressentait plus aucune douleur. Mes yeux se remplirent de larmes et, même si je savais que la fin était proche, je ne lâchai pas prise, gardant mes mains fermement contre la blessure par balle.
« Nora, chérie », sanglota Finn.
« Je t'aime, Finn », murmura-t-elle, ses derniers mots à peine audibles, puis elle se tourna vers moi. « Prends soin de lui aussi. Il va avoir du mal sans moi. »
Son emprise sur mon poignet avait commencé à se relâcher et je savais qu’elle était proche.
« Je m'occuperai d'eux deux, je te le promets », la rassurai-je.
Ses yeux s'étaient fermés tandis que Finn l'entourait de ses bras tremblants. Lorsque nous l'avons amenée aux urgences les plus proches, elle était déjà morte et elle avait emporté avec elle une partie de moi. Dans les semaines qui ont suivi, toute la famille Murphy s'est employée à venger sa mort. Nous avons enduré sa perte dans le sang des O'Malley et, une fois tout terminé, Kieran a finalement obtenu un accord de paix précaire entre les trois familles.
Une fois tout terminé, Finn a demandé la permission de quitter la famille et mon frère aîné la lui a accordée sans poser de questions. Pour s’éloigner le plus possible de l’Irlande, Finn a emmené sa fille et s’est installé à Seattle, enfin libéré de la mafia et des dangers qu’elle avait amenés dans sa vie. J’avais personnellement veillé à ce qu’ils ne manquent jamais d’argent. J’ai veillé à ce que Caitlin ait accès aux meilleures écoles et qu’elle ne manque jamais de rien.
J'avais beau essayer de l'aider, Finn s'était perdu dans son chagrin. Il ne s'était pas remarié et n'avait même pas essayé de sortir avec quelqu'un après la perte de Nora. Ils avaient vécu un amour unique dans leur vie et cela pesait lourd sur lui.
Il buvait. Beaucoup .
J'avais fait tout ce que j'avais pu pour l'aider, mais il était trop perdu dans son chagrin pour vraiment se soucier de sa fille. Au fil des années, il m'avait demandé quelques services pour sortir Caitlin de problèmes divers et variés, la plupart du temps des choses mineures comme le vol à l'étalage ou la conduite en état d'ivresse. Depuis, les Murphy avaient quitté l'Irlande et s'étaient installés de manière plus permanente à Boston, j'avais donc pas mal de relations que j'utilisais pour garder son casier judiciaire vierge.
J'avais espéré que Finn sortirait de son chagrin et deviendrait une sorte de père pour elle, mais il était trop tard. J'étais la seule personne qui restait à Caitlin.
Mon téléphone avait sonné tard vendredi soir. Je ne sais pas si Finn savait que son corps le trahissait, mais sa voix exprimait une profonde tristesse qui n'était pas présente les fois où il m'avait appelé auparavant. Je n'avais pas dit un mot pendant qu'il me racontait ses derniers problèmes. Cette fois, elle était dépassée. Il m'avait demandé une dernière faveur, et j'avais accepté sans réserve. Si je n'intercédais pas en sa faveur, elle allait passer la majeure partie de sa vie d'adulte derrière les barreaux.
Nora aurait eu ma tête si j'avais laissé faire ça. Je la vois même me gronder comme elle le faisait autrefois. Elle avait toujours cette jolie petite fossette sur sa joue droite quand elle était agacée par les manigances de Finn et moi. Elle n'avait jamais été une grande fan des surprises et je me souvenais d'une fois où Finn et moi avions organisé la plus grande fête surprise pour son vingt et unième anniversaire. Elle avait piqué une crise mais avait fini par sourire à la fin.
Elle me manquait. Même si elle n'était pas une parente par le sang, elle serait toujours comme une sœur pour moi dans mon cœur. Je me donnerais pour mission de veiller à ce que sa fille ne paie pas le prix de nos erreurs de l'époque. J'avais promis à Nora de prendre soin de sa fille et j'avais l'intention de tenir ma promesse.
.
« Quoi ? J’ai quelque chose sur le visage ? » craché-je, ressentant un besoin irrationnel de briser le silence entre nous.
J'ai été un peu surpris par mon expression de colère, mais si cela le dérangeait, il ne répondait pas et ne reconnaissait même pas son existence. Je ne savais pas si c'était réconfortant ou dérangeant, alors je n'ai pas insisté.
« Je pensais juste à quel point tu me rappelles ton père », murmura-t-il, et cela me prit également par surprise.
« De quelle manière ? » répondis-je, mais la pointe d’agacement qui était présente au début avait disparu.
« Chaque fois qu'il n'obtenait pas ce qu'il voulait, il faisait une petite moue comme ça », a-t-il ri.
« Je ne fais pas la moue », ai-je raillé.
« Il disait exactement la même chose. La seule chose qui le faisait se sentir mieux, c'était ce café irlandais du centre-ville, servi dans ce petit trou dans le mur », a-t-il dit, ignorant complètement mon éclat.
Il y avait une légère pointe de tristesse cachée entre les lignes et je l'ai presque manquée. Il y avait quelque chose qu'il ne me disait pas, et je voulais des réponses.
« Pourquoi m’emmener jusqu’à Boston ? Pourquoi ne pas me laisser croupir en prison comme je le mérite ? »
« Tu ne mérites pas une vie comme ça », répondit-il doucement.
Mon abdomen se tordait et je ne savais pas quoi faire. Je bougeais encore une fois sur mon siège.
« Tu ne me connais même pas. Comment peux-tu savoir ce que je mérite ? »
Mon excitation ne faisait qu'accroître mon irritation. Je savais que je me comportais comme une garce ingrate, mon agacement envers cet homme qui essayait simplement de faire une bonne action était certainement irrationnel, mais je ne pouvais pas m'en empêcher. J'étais déjà bien trop impliquée et si j'étais malheureuse, nécessiteuse et excitée, il allait me suivre directement. Au diable l'instinct de survie.
J'ai continué à appuyer sur ses boutons.
« Tu mérites qu’on prenne soin de toi. Tout le monde mérite ça. »
Il avait tort. Je me soignais depuis aussi longtemps que je me souvenais. Je n'avais besoin de personne pour prendre soin de moi. C'était moi qui jetais toutes ces bouteilles vides jour après jour quand mon père s'était évanoui sur le sol du salon parce qu'il était trop saoul pour aller jusqu'à son lit.
« Tu perds ton temps. Je vais m'enfuir dès que j'en aurai l'occasion », me suis-je vanté.
Son regard perçant captura le mien et je ne pouvais pas détourner le regard. Je ne savais pas vraiment quel serait mon point final, mais j'avais largement dépassé le stade où je me souciais de ce qui allait se passer. Je regardais sa pomme d'Adam bouger de haut en bas pendant qu'il avalait, presque comme si j'attendais qu'il reconnaisse enfin que j'étais trop forte et décide de partir aussi. Il s'éclaircit la gorge et j'attendis que l'inévitable arrive, comme c'était toujours le cas.
« Tu ne serais pas sage de fuir. Tout ce qui se passerait, c'est que je te retrouverais et te ramènerais sain et sauf. Et cela te vaudrait une autre dure séance avec ma ceinture qui ferait paraître douce la punition que tu as reçue sur le bureau du juge », répondit-il finalement.
Son attitude était si calme et posée que c'en était déconcertant. Le problème était qu'au fond, une partie de moi le croyait. Je ne savais pas de quoi il était capable et j'avais le sentiment que je ne voulais pas le savoir. La curiosité est un vilain défaut, du moins c'est ce qu'on dit.
Quelle différence cela ferait-il si cela me tuait aussi ?

Je ne sais pas si Finn savait que son corps le trahissait, mais sa voix exprimait une profonde tristesse qui n'était pas présente les fois où il m'avait appelé auparavant. Je n'avais pas dit un mot pendant qu'il me racontait ses derniers problèmes. Cette fois, elle était dépassée. Il m'avait demandé une dernière faveur, et j'avais accepté sans réserve. Si je n'intercédais pas en sa faveur, elle allait passer la majeure partie de sa vie d'adulte derrière les barreaux.
Nora aurait eu ma tête si j'avais laissé faire ça. Je la vois même me gronder comme elle le faisait autrefois. Elle avait toujours cette jolie petite fossette sur sa joue droite quand elle était agacée par les manigances de Finn et moi. Elle n'avait jamais été une grande fan des surprises et je me souvenais d'une fois où Finn et moi avions organisé la plus grande fête surprise pour son vingt et unième anniversaire. Elle avait piqué une crise mais avait fini par sourire à la fin.
Elle me manquait. Même si elle n'était pas une parente par le sang, elle serait toujours comme une sœur pour moi dans mon cœur. Je me donnerais pour mission de veiller à ce que sa fille ne paie pas le prix de nos erreurs de l'époque. J'avais promis à Nora de prendre soin de sa fille et j'avais l'intention de tenir ma promesse.
.
« Quoi ? J’ai quelque chose sur le visage ? » craché-je, ressentant un besoin irrationnel de briser le silence entre nous.
J'ai été un peu surpris par mon expression de colère, mais si cela le dérangeait, il ne répondait pas et ne reconnaissait même pas son existence. Je ne savais pas si c'était réconfortant ou dérangeant, alors je n'ai pas insisté.
« Je pensais juste à quel point tu me rappelles ton père », murmura-t-il, et cela me prit également par surprise.
« De quelle manière ? » répondis-je, mais la pointe d’agacement qui était présente au début avait disparu.
« Chaque fois qu'il n'obtenait pas ce qu'il voulait, il faisait une petite moue comme ça », a-t-il ri.
« Je ne fais pas la moue », ai-je raillé.
« Il disait exactement la même chose. La seule chose qui le faisait se sentir mieux, c'était ce café irlandais du centre-ville, servi dans ce petit trou dans le mur », a-t-il dit, ignorant complètement mon éclat.
Il y avait une légère pointe de tristesse cachée entre les lignes et je l'ai presque manquée. Il y avait quelque chose qu'il ne me disait pas, et je voulais des réponses.
« Pourquoi m’emmener jusqu’à Boston ? Pourquoi ne pas me laisser croupir en prison comme je le mérite ? »
« Tu ne mérites pas une vie comme ça », répondit-il doucement.
Mon abdomen se tordait et je ne savais pas quoi faire. Je bougeais encore une fois sur mon siège.
« Tu ne me connais même pas. Comment peux-tu savoir ce que je mérite ? »
Mon excitation ne faisait qu'accroître mon irritation. Je savais que je me comportais comme une garce ingrate, mon agacement envers cet homme qui essayait simplement de faire une bonne action était certainement irrationnel, mais je ne pouvais pas m'en empêcher. J'étais déjà bien trop impliquée et si j'étais malheureuse, nécessiteuse et excitée, il allait me suivre directement. Au diable l'instinct de survie.
J'ai continué à appuyer sur ses boutons.
« Tu mérites qu’on prenne soin de toi. Tout le monde mérite ça. »
Il avait tort. Je me soignais depuis aussi longtemps que je me souvenais. Je n'avais besoin de personne pour prendre soin de moi. C'était moi qui jetais toutes ces bouteilles vides jour après jour quand mon père s'était évanoui sur le sol du salon parce qu'il était trop saoul pour aller jusqu'à son lit.
« Tu perds ton temps. Je vais m'enfuir dès que j'en aurai l'occasion », me suis-je vanté.
Son regard perçant captura le mien et je ne pouvais pas détourner le regard. Je ne savais pas vraiment quel serait mon point final, mais j'avais largement dépassé le stade où je me souciais de ce qui allait se passer. Je regardais sa pomme d'Adam bouger de haut en bas pendant qu'il avalait, presque comme si j'attendais qu'il reconnaisse enfin que j'étais trop forte et décide de partir aussi. Il s'éclaircit la gorge et j'attendis que l'inévitable arrive, comme c'était toujours le cas.
« Tu ne serais pas sage de fuir. Tout ce qui se passerait, c'est que je te retrouverais et te ramènerais sain et sauf. Et cela te vaudrait une autre dure séance avec ma ceinture qui ferait paraître douce la punition que tu as reçue sur le bureau du juge », répondit-il finalement.
Son attitude était si calme et posée que c'en était déconcertant. Le problème était qu'au fond, une partie de moi le croyait. Je ne savais pas de quoi il était capable et j'avais le sentiment que je ne voulais pas le savoir. La curiosité est un vilain défaut, du moins c'est ce qu'on dit.
Quelle différence cela ferait-il si cela me tuait aussi ?

Make, Me Daddy by Sara Fields is an age-gap and forbidden romance between Cormac Murphy and Caitlin McCormick. This is a direct sequel to Take Me, Daddy—which features Kieran Murphy and Leah. I never expected a continuation of this world so I was pleasantly surprised to meet the kind Cormac, who is the second oldest brother in the family. The story begins with Caitlin, who recently graduated high school and unknowingly participated in a heist with her friends that could potentially throw her in jail for the rest of her life. Her actions had major consequences, which resulted in the death of her father. Cormac enters her life because of his close relationship with her parents and what results is a whirlwind romance where he treats Caitlin with a firm but gentle hand because she does NOT make it easy for him.
I was initially frustrated with Caitlin because she was so combative and angry at Cormac who has done nothing but be kind to her. Thankfully, he knew exactly what to do with her. I understood that Caitlin had to build walls around her heart because her father was a passive participant in her life after the death of his wife. Cormac and Caitlin are extremely attracted to each other and it didn't take long for their relationship to become even more personal. The love scenes were erotic, dirty, and intense. I loved seeing Cormac's internal struggles over his relationship with Caitlin because he was falling hard for her. Fans of Sara Fields will not want to miss out on this filthy, kinky, and romantic love story between a naughty little girl and her sweet but firm "daddy." I can't wait to meet the rest of the Murphy's!

Caitlin does as she pleases and it has gotten her in trouble. She now faces a prison sentence but luckily Cormac is able to save her from that. He does have other punishments in mind which include going over his knee. This is a fast-paced age-gap read with loads of drama, suspense and sizzling scenes. I really liked it.

okay I started reading the series as I'll say research. but I'm going to say right out that this book series is very misleading. DD/LG is a subdivision of BDSM. And there is none of the trademark BDSM behavior in any of these books. So people that read these thinking that oh yeah they're going to see the lifestyle in the books are going to find the series is very misleading. What you are seeing is an abuse of power and a very imbalanced dynamic. In book 2, the main character is 19 years old and her daddy is in his forties. That is one heck of an age gap and even though the main character would be considered past the age of consent in most states, this is a power dynamic that would make a lot of people not curious, but sick.
The problem I had with the first book is the same problem I have with this one. The book starts out with a possibility of a plot, and the minute he goes to lay his hands on her and the whole sexual attraction starts, the plot goes poof and the author only picks up the plot towards the end of the book in what seems to be a manner of oh my God I just remembered there is a plot. And tries to rush everything.
I wouldn't get involved in something like this unless there was proper negotiation and communication first. Even though he is technically her jailer, he could still have the decency to have negotiations and communications with her and take the time to educate her on that particular lifestyle instead of just using it as a form of control and you know power over her. This series could be improved on. And I'm surprised that it even had the energy for seven books because each one of the books seems to be a carbon copy of the other.
Basically it's girl gets in a situation over their head, gets rescued by their daddy, brats out, gets punished, eventually the author remembers the original situation, ties that off, there's a lot more spanking and a lot more discipline and a lot of rough sex, and eventually they end up married to each other or in a relationship.
I would have liked to have seen it varied a little bit more. And I would have liked to have seen some discussion about the actual lifestyle somewhere in the books. This book series basically gives everybody who takes part in alternate lifestyles a bad name because somebody curious would read this book thinking that it might help them understand an alternative lifestyle when in actuality it doesn't.
It seems like this is just an excuse for the author to get their jollies off and make it possible for other people to do the same thing while reading the story.
And before anybody jumps on me, I'm not a prude I've done time in the lifestyle.

I have to be honest I feel strongly that these books are written basically for the purpose of writing about sex and explicit sex scenes because tell me why you know the logic is not giving. I am so first of all trying to figure out how a girl who just finished high school is with a man who is in his 40s and not just with any man, but a man who was friends with the girls, father and mother, basically sleeping and having sex with a man with her father’s age, but apart from that he was in the position of a guardian for her and someway somehow on the plane to wear is taking her to be you know under guardianship he is beating her on her buttocks and basically just doing nasty things with her I think I am too grounded in reality to see anything romantic or fun in this kind of dynamics you can have an age gap romance you can have a daddy sub romance vibe, but the age guy has to make sense. This does not make sense is borderline child molestation because what are you telling me that? Oh she was a naughty girl. It’s like there is this need to create this premise of a stubborn girl and so she’s already a bad girl and is now there too stop her from being a bad girl like DAM male character the main male character is there to stop her from being a bad girl and guide her and all of that in the process of guiding her, you know by buying a good girl outfits by telling her to be a good girl for daddy and stuff like that in the processis sleeping with that he’s doing like the logic is not giving

“I was supposed to be protecting her, not falling in love with her.”
This book began with so much promise. Caitlin was a headstrong, independent and lonely young girl who kept making bad choices trying to find someone to care about her. Cormac was strong, kind, dominant and much older. While their chemistry wasn’t instant, it didn’t take long. Unfortunately, after the strong beginning, it just kind of puttered and died. We never even got a resolution regarding him telling her about her mom and their past.
I read the first book in the series, Take Me Daddy and loved it. I was really looking forward to more books in the series but this one was a bit of a disappointment. First, after the first few chapters there was very little real plot. The majority of the book was just spanking and sex, with the bigger emphasis on the spanking. I’ve read a lot of Sara’s books so I know she writes stories with spanking but this just seemed a little extreme. For someone who was basically a good guy, Cormac just seemed to look for reasons to punish her. And Caitlin, who started so strong, ended up being a silly girl who spent all her time trying to either get punished or get Cormac into bed. It almost became boring and I found myself skipping pages, something I never do with Sara’s books. Maybe I’m just spoiled after reading Dragon King, but I really think she can do much better than this, and has. Hopefully this is just a fluke and her next book will be up to her standards.

This book is about Kaitlyn and McCormick.
Kaitlyn isn't related by blood to their family but her parents were good friends with them before her mother died during one of their missions.
Kaitlyn was always a bad girl. She stole and acted out because of her father. He drank all the time and barely spent time with her. When she got arrested for a robbery gone wrong. (She only stole clothes, never jewelry) and one of her friends shot someone. She was facing real jail time. She learned her father died while she was in holding.
McCormick and his family attended the funeral. And he actually helped get her out with only a year sentence. They spoke to the judge and the judge decided to let her live with McCormick under house arrest. He spanked her in the judges chambers.
On the plane, she threw juice in his face and he spanked her again.
He took her back to his place and she didn't wear a bra to torture him. But she learned it didn't and only earned not being able to wear bras.
She does learn he knew her mother and she was hurt. She stayed in a hotel and from there, she acted out. Spent so much money on lingerie, going out and buying lots of bras.
McCormick thinks she doesn't need him anymore. But when he discovers from Leah that she is doing this to act out, he goes to hear. Punishes her with a paddle and takes her butt. But he first proposed to her.💙
She's going to school now and still his Baby Girl.💙

This book starts out very dark, with young Caitlin getting herself into serious trouble with the law. She has had a sad upbringing by an alcoholic widowed father who let her run rampant and she rebelled in all the wrong ways. Despite all her poor decisions he always got her out of her troublesome situations, but she really didn’t understand how he did it. After her father’s sudden demise she begins to find out who has really been pulling the strings to get her off with the law, but not why. Was she appreciative? NO, she got even more abrasive and obnoxious when Cormac inserted himself into her life and demanded she move to Boston with him. Her defiance to him does not go well, with an adult belting and a little girl spanking quickly ensuing. When she meets the rest of Cormac’s family she finally begins to get a sense of what was and what could be. Not without a lot of testing of the waters however, and the discipline she earns leads to the control and dominance that she secretly desires. A great romance that leads to a dominant Daddy/Little relationship with lots of adult time mixed in. When finally she said “Make Me Daddy”, he did in the end (!). This is the second book in the Boston Kings series and is so good I’m about to go back and buy/read the first one. 5 Stars

Make Me, Daddy is the next story from Sara Fields in the dangerous world of the wicked sexy Irish Mafia - Murphy Family of Boston. (We were first introduced to them in Take Me, Daddy. You do not have to read that one first, but I highly recommend for full enjoyment.) This story is of Caitlin, a bratty young woman - lost in the sea of life and Cormac - the sinfully delicious dominant that helps her, saves her, loves her. You will definitely expect to enjoy Sara's trademark dark 'n rough s€xy t¡mes, sp@nk¡ng, DD/lg elements. 🔥🥵🔥🥵 The story opens with recent high school graduate Caitlin celebrating with her friends. We learn that Caitlin has a penchant for stealing designer label items - for her misplaced thrills & keeping up appearances with her rich friends. On an immature dare, they all decide to steal a SUV and go on a robbery spree. Of course we know that will not end well for Caitlin. Caitlin is in jail, she is allowed her one phone call - tries to call her Dad - no answer. Enter in a lawyer mysteriously being hired for her, she makes bail. She learns her Dad died. At the funeral, she observes a lot of people she has never seen before. Unknowingly to her - one of them is Cormac Murphy - a very close friend to her parents. Cormac comes in and saves Caitlin... how does he save her? 😏 He saves her in *a lot of ways* - you will have to read Make, Me Daddy to find out! 😊🌴🌺 I received an ARC thru Booksprout for my honest review.

OMG! OMG! Wow, I think I'm still hot from reading this awesome book, the storyline was exhilarating and the characters were really sensational. What can I say besides make sure you have everything because once you start you won't be able to put the book down. While reading this book I felt like I had ran a marathon the hot adrenalin rush, this story had action, drama, suspense, Mafia, deaths, secrets, hot and steamy, luscious spankings, Dirty talks, Daddy Dom, little girl, spicy romance, passion, rough, raw and sexy, and a lot more emotions throughout. Caitlin and Cormac had a rough start. Caitlin lived in Seattle with her dad, he was always drinking, Caitlin had attitude which landed her a date with the courts. Cormac lives in Boston, he is in the Mafia with the Murphy family, he has come to collect her and take her back to Boston. She threw a drink in his face so he punished her. He loved her cheekiness, she was starting to enjoy the punishment, but what will happen if he ignores her and keeps secrets.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy and am voluntarily reviewing it. Caitlyn McCormick is kind of a bad girl. She has gotten into a few run ins with the law but her dad always seems to come to her rescue. Will he be able to come to her rescue after she takes a dare after graduation that could leave her with serious jail time? Cormac Murphy made a vow to Caitlyn’s parents to take care of her. She doesn’t know him but he has been a part of her life since the beginning. He knows she’s just barely an adult but the attraction that he feels for her will not go away. Can he stay away?
After Cormac puts Caitlyn in her place and tells her how things are going to be going forward, Caitlyn finds herself thinking thoughts about him. Things that she never thought of about anyone else. This book is exciting journey to see if Cormac and Caitlyn will voice their thoughts to one another. This is definitely an age-gap romance with a touch of forced proximity.
Caitlyn and Cormac will be readers new it couple. Readers who have read previous books in this series will get a glimpse of previous couples and how they are doing. I can’t wait to see what Murphy love story we will get next.

Caitlin McCormick screwed up. Always wanting to fit in got her in hot water. Now alone in the world, she needs let learn the meaning of the work good girl. Cormac Murphy knew Caitlin’s parents. They were family to him but with the loss of Finn and Nora, there was no one to take care of Caitlin. He planned to change all that even if it means reddening her bottom a lot.
I have to say Caitlin didn’t seem to have a great life. Oh sure she was free to do as she pleased but no one was there to make her see she was falling apart. And Finn, what a sad destruction. I felt that he just was gone when Nora was. Cormac definitely had his work cut out for him. He had a bratty little girl to set right. She needed hugs, kisses, and love. The game that these two play is so seductive. My heart rate was beating the faster as the game went on. And boy is Cormac one heck of a lover. His baby girl was a rebel but he was able to tame her. I can’t wait to read about his sister Ada and the other siblings.

Initially, I struggled with this mafia-themed Daddy Dom age play story. I thought the characters lacked depth, and the plot was weak. I am glad I persisted with Caitlin and Cormac’s story as I soon found myself entranced by their complex life. It had the right balance of affection and discipline. Ms. Field did a great job of portraying their insecurities. She showed compassion for both of her characters.
Caitlin was out of control. A defiant teen who ran with a wild group of friends. Trouble inevitably caught up with her, and she was a lost, frightened little girl. Cormac Murphy stepped in, saving Caitlin from going to prison. Not that she was grateful, but she finally had someone in her life who cared enough to take his hand and his belt to show her the errors of her ways. He stripped her bare emotionally and made her call him daddy.
I loved how the relationship evolved into love. The ending has left me wanting more from this couple. The chemistry was magnetic and explosive. The intimacy was smoking hot. I need to go back and read book one in this series.

This is Caitlin and Cormac’s book. Caitlin McCormick is out of control and gets in over her head early in the book. She’s staring down major prison time due to her unbeknownst part in a jewelry heist. Her father also dies the same weekend. Before he died he got word to his old friends from Ireland that now live in Boston. They come to the funeral and Cormac Murphy bails her out of jail on the condition she come back to Boston with him. He wants to be her Daddy and she be his little girl. Caitlin takes being a brat to the extreme to where I really didn’t like her. She’s 19 and acts like a petulant child even though Cormac gets her out of at least 20 years in prison. She’s defiant for the sake of being defiant. Cormac shows unbelievable patience with her and shows her what she needs whether she wants it or not.

★ “I’d earn his attention whether he wanted to give it or not.” ★
—>>> Cormac Murphy steps in personally to continue making good on a promise to his friends to protect their daughter, Caitlin when she finds herself alone in the world. Rich, powerful, and handsome, he was not whom she expected at her door the day after her father’s funeral. Cormac had his work cut out for him to help her out of her latest criminal activity, finagling an arrangement to move her to his home in Boston instead of serving a sentence in jail. Once there, however, the attraction for her had him firmly laying out the rules and enforcing them whenever she stepped out of line. It was way past time someone stepped up to show what she meant to them. All elements are wonderfully woven together, and I enjoyed how their dynamic developed as they explored a relationship with the dangers of his lifestyle in the backdrop.

Death, sorrow and loneliness fill Caitlin’s life. How will she cope with all that plus the criminal charges facing her? The answer is Cormac. Many years ago, he made a promise to her dying mother. He vowed to care for Caitlin. He had had no idea how much her father had turned to drink, allowing his daughter to raise herself. With the dire criminal charges, Cormac now takes over. She is released into his care.
Cormac and Caitlin are both extremely attracted to each other. I love the way her inner woman blossoms under his strict admonishments. Also, I feel saddened when she discovers a secret Cormac has been keeping concerning her mother. Will Caitlin learn to trust him again? Will Cormac acknowledge his true feelings for Caitlin? Will Caitlin be able to find a way to overcome her initial anger? Will she learn to accept his firm discipline and his caring feelings?

I usually do not comment but I must say that I did not like Caitlin and her bad attitude.
