Daddy’s Intern is the 7th book in Stella Bella’s Taboo Temptations series and is also a part of the Hallow Falls Small Town Series. This book is quick and dirty with all the feels and an HEA. This one is light on the taboo if you are wanting to dip your toe into the genre, but also more spicy than your typical small town romance book. Even though this one is a short novella, there are quite a few time jumps that make it plausible. I really like the characters and the dynamics between Tate and Anna-Beth, I wouldn’t mind a full length book from them. There is a touch of Daddy k!nk but it is pretty tame, it also has some breeding k!nk which is definitely not my thing but if you are into it the writing is done well. There is high heat, a ton of emotions, a possessive hero and a sassy heroine. There is an enemies to lovers vibe that I really enjoyed as it let Stella up the angst and tension between the characters. We get introduced to some side characters that I hope we get their stories and a well earned HEA. This one does deal with some deeper emotional issues that I wasn’t expecting but it definitely amped up the novella. If you are looking for a shirt and sweet book with a ton of emotion but don’t have a ton of time on your hands.. Stella Bella is the author for you! I really enjoyed Daddy’s Intern, and recommend picking it up!

Daddy’s Intern is a steamy age-gap taboo romance by Stella Bella releasing as part of the Romance Bunnies Hallow Falls Series, as well as the 7th book in her Taboo Temptations series. Anna-Beth has always despised her former stepfather of less than a year, since he bailed around the time her mom was diagnosed with dementia. Imagine her surprise when she finds herself working for him, and lusting after him, too! One explosive encounter changed everything. Will their forbidden love withstand all the obstacles they may face?

This author can always be counted on to bring the heat!!🥵🥵 The spicy scenes were off the charts, with Tate being pretty over the top possessive. The only thing I didn’t like is her pet name for him, especially given their history. It’s just never one I enjoy in books.🤷🏼‍♀️ I still enjoyed the story though that also explored some emotions and a couple twists that kept me engaged until the end.

I enjoyed this romance story with all of the characters within. The main characters were Anna-Beth Winters and the Mayor.

Anna-Beth Winters has made a vow to hate Tate King for as long as she lives. The man married her mother but left her mother when she needed him the most. Now Anna-Beth is trying to take care of her mother. She needs to get a job. The job she finds is working with the mayor. But when she meets the Mayor she finds out that its her mother ex husband that she hates. She needs this job and decided to stay.

Tate King is the Mayor of Hallow Falls.  He finds out that they hired another person to help him. That person is Anna-Beth his ex wife daughter. She has grown up and is now here.

This was a fun short story to read. It had action and drama throughout. It had a few giggles within. It is a bit steamy to.

I received a complimentary copy via Booksprout. This is my honest unbiased opinions.

Daddy's Intern is a short and super steamy, instalust, age-gap, enemies to lovers romance. Anna-Beth is a 22 year old who has come home to take care of her ailing mom. Tate, a hunky 45 year old, is the mayor of the town and her mother's ex-husband. He offers Anna-Beth a job when she returns. He was only married to her mom for less than a year, over 10 years ago, but Anna-Beth has despised him since then. Now, when he sees her, he knows she belongs to him, and nothing will stop him. Anna-Beth feels the same lust, and one night after a late night, they give in. Lust turns to love, but will the town and their families support their love? The chemistry was off the charts between the two, and we do get a great HEA. This was a great, short, hot, and spicy read.

Anna-Beth hasn't had any good feelings toward her former stepfather. Now she is working for him while trying to make sure her mother gets the care, she needs in the facility she is in. Tate has no idea why Anna-Beth hates him so much but tries to help her despite what she says and does.

This is the 7th book in this series, and this is Anna-Beth and Tate’s journey.
Anna vowed to hate Tate for the rest of her life after he left when she needed him the most. Now Anna has returned home to take care of her ailing mom, and gets a job working for the mayor, who is Tate, her mom’s ex-husband.
Tate does not understand Anna anger, but the sparks fly between them.
This is a well written story which has family, friendships, undeniable chemistry, enemies / lovers, romance, emotional and love, which leads to an entertaining and steamy page turner.

Another hot and steamy romance from Stella (AKA Brooke)! Daddy’s Intern is part of the The Hallow Falls series. It’s a short, taboo, age gap romance that’s full of lust and steamy scenes!
Anna-Beth and Tate were hot. He was married to her mom for like a minute, but he quickly realized they weren’t right and he made a mistake. Now years later, Anna-Beth is not that little 10 year old girl anymore, now she’s a woman and works for him! And he can’t stop thinking about her.
Tate was crazy jealous and obsessive, and wow! This man was ott. I loved every steamy second of this little quickie!

Anna-Beth as hated Tate for a long time as he married and then left when her mum got ill, when she as to come back as her mum is much worse and ends up working for Tate. But she can’t help feeling something for him.
Tate as wanted Anne-Beth since she walked in to his office, but as not done anything about it, because how Anne-Beth is with him.
But one late night things heat up between them, what will happen after that night will Anne-Beth let herself be happy with the person she wants or regret it later.

I loved this latest story by Stella Bella. I couldn't put it down. Anna-Beth has been taking care of her mother with dementia and now works for her former stepfather, Tate. It has been years since she has seen him. She has been taking care of her mother for a long time. She is not very happy with her new job. Tate doesn't expect to have these feelings for Anna-Beth. They soon start dating. Will they get their happily ever after?

More please

Oh my goodness, Hallow Falls definitely has temptation. Anna-Beth needs a job and the Mayor needs an assistant. Tate was Anna-Beth's step-father for a very brief and short time, but his protectiveness has nothing to do with being fatherly. Sparks are flying and the Mayor's office is getting steamy. Love Stella's taboo stories.

[Sue Harbers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Tate and Anna-Beth’s chemistry is off the charts! These two have a little bit of history that didn’t end well on Anna-Beth’s side. That’s led her to have some serious bad feelings for Tate. But all Tate sees now is how beautiful and intelligent Anna-Beth is. He’s also now her boss. With all this stacked against them, they implode! Great tension and steam!

[Aliama · Rating 4 out of 5]

An enemies to lovers romance with lots of sizzling chemistry. Anna is a kind and caring daughter who works hard to take care of her ailing mom. Tate is domineering and wants what he wants and he wants Anna and won’t stop til she’s his. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

[CJ · Rating 5 out of 5]

The author has given us an older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Tate and Anna-Beth. The story keeps us turning the pages with forbidden desire, realization, fear of gossip and steam.
