Now, Mr. Elliott is determined to have me. To own me.

All of me. No matter the cost.

DNF. Nearly finished it but I can’t stand it anymore. Braden ‘punishes’ her endlessly! There’s not much of a plot besides all the punishment.

I’m sorry but the way that Braden ‘punishes’ Lottie is abusive. I’ve read a lot of ‘daddy’ and bdsm books and I’ve never read so many punishments for every little thing. Braden doesn’t just ‘punish’ Lottie, he deliberately humiliates her. Making her meet his brother and his girlfriend NAKED, apart from nipple and c*it clamps. His brothers girlfriend was really embarrassed and uncomfortable. Sending her out to announce their engagement after he’s punished her by her giving him *ral s.*x and her makeup is smeared across her face. He wants people to know what he did and it’s gross. It’s made worse by the fact that he’s TWENTY FIVE YEARS OLDER THAN HER! There’s no rules or angreememt between them and Braden treats her how he wants! 😡😡😡 He even says that Lottie is spirited and will be fun ‘TO BREAK!’ Aside from all the punishments translation: Humiliating and controlling Lottie, there’s no actual plot. There is a tiny one that could have been really good but it’s barely mentioned.

I can’t stand books like this. Braden punishes Lottie for every little tiny thing. If she disagrees with him, she’s punished, if HE overreacts with another man that she speaks to he punishes her. He always has to do in public and it’s too much for Lottie who is new to the life and is a virgin. She literally has no experience at all and the first time they’re together doing anything sexually it’s in front of everyone. He should have built her up to it and punished her privately at first, until she’s used to it. He doesn’t look after Lottie either. The first time they have an*l s*x he doesn’t prepare her apart from using a plug. After the first time there’s no aftercare, putting her in the bath to soak etc, he wants her to still keep a plug in her bottom to keep his c*m in there. 🤮🤮

Sorry but really not good. It’s left me feeling icky after reading it. The sex scenes are cringy not hot and sexy at all.

The thrill of the mystery auction heats up in the second book of the Cherry Popping Daddies series. Stella Moore writes a riveting tale of the pampered princess who surprisingly still holds her v-card. Even her father’s best friend is surprised by this stunning fact. He also is utterly captivated by her in ways he never has been before. Braden has known her most of her life, but has never seen her quite like this. Lottie is the perfect blend of innocence and sass, the ultimate brat. It’s no wonder Daddy Braden sits up to take notice. The push and pull of their dynamic kept me engrossed every second. And their chemistry is quite simply, hot! This is a fun, heated story with a splash of intrigue. Loads of fun.

Book 2 in the Cherry Popping Daddies series

I didn't think I'd like this much as much as I did the first one, but I think I actually like this one better! This is Lottie (short for Charlotte) and Braden's story. Braden is the owner of Club BDE and the younger brother to twins Damian (his book was Emily) and Desmond (his book will be Titania). Braden is best friend's with Don, Charlotte's dad and lives next door to them.

This book was a much different take on the virgin auction trope than the first one. So, these books are so different from each other and just fun to read. These are all Daddy Dom romances, so if that's something you don't like in a romance then you'll want to pass these up. I'm not a huge fan, but I'm not opposed to read them and I'm so glad I gave them a chance. I loved how bratty and feisty Charlotte was and how Braden was a little more controlling than Damian was. And I LOVED seeing more of Emily and Damian (and even Desmond and Bastian.)

What is a young twenty-two-year-old rich girl to do when she discovers that her dad isn't quite so rich anymore? She will help him however she can without him ever knowing. When her friend Frankie tells her about the virgin auctions through Club BDE she knows that's what she needs to do. However, Braden isn't the one who purchases her... but he does end up paying for her (I don't want to give any spoilers, this should be a surprise!) Charlotte has had a crush on her dad's best friend for years. The question is how much flirting and temptation is it going to take in order for Braden to finally give in?

Firstly, this was not a long read, but as they say, quality over quantity. I quickly devoured this book in one sitting, and I haven't had this much fun or laughed so hard in a long time. This was due to Lottie’s amusing antics, but it was not all fun and games. Lottie was such a brat and kept challenging Braden. She was full of mischief, which often backfired, landing Lottie in trouble. Lottie needed money after discovering that her father was in trouble financially. The only thing she had to offer was herself. Lottie entered an auction at Club BDE, but before she could collect her money, her father's best friend, neighbor, and joint owner of BDE Braden, put an end to it. He would not allow his Lottie-Bug to offer herself up to some stranger.

Braden Elliott ran a respectable business. There was no way he would let Lottie be part of an online auction at his BDSM Club. An auction that he did not sanction and was trying to put an end to. His attraction for Lottie was intense but so wrong. He put up a good battle, but he didn't have a chance with a brat like Lottie, who challenged him at every turn.

There was much fun and games between this couple, and I was thoroughly entertained. Lottie constantly pushed Braden’s buttons to get a rise out of him. The sex scenes were delicious, and there were plenty of spankings. This was an age-gap romance that worked well despite all the obstacles faced. The characters were likable, and this book had a touch of magic. It made me laugh. It made me sad, and it made me want so much more from this couple.

Charlotte aka Lottie thought things were great. Her friends are always there for her. But when one transaction causes her to check on matters, she knows she needs to do something. It’s her friend Frankie that gives her the idea. But it doesn’t turn out exactly as it should. Braden is still trying to find out who is using his club for these auctions. He keeps a close eye them though. When one slips through, and he knows her, he isn’t about to let anyone touch her.

Ok you have to give it to Lottie. She can brat like no other. She knows how to push buttons and boy does she aggravate Braden. For Braden he does try to fight temptation but when Killian is thrown into the mix, nope. Braden certainly needed Lottie. She was a breath of fresh air. She kept him on his toes and well she ended up with a well spanked bottom. We still have no idea who created the auction. Next up is Desmond and Bastain. I can’t wait to see how Titania finds out about the auction. And Desmond needs to lighten up. He is definitely too stiff (no pun intended). LOL

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Lottie’s mother’s recent passing has caused her dad to fall into a deep state of grief. His coping mechanism has put him in a difficult financial situation. Lottie has now found herself with unexpected money problems too. With her friend Frankie, a recent convert to the DDlg lifestyle, she comes up with a plan…… auction off her v-card online! This takes her from the frying pan into the fire. Fortunately she is “saved” by an unexpected source, her next door neighbor who just happens to be her dad’s best friend. Braden is a Daddy Dom and it turns out Lottie is more than a little bit of a sassy brat. Sparks fly, spanks land, and sexual tension explodes. Both are emotionally torn by their burgeoning relationship, they want it but they fear it is too inappropriate given her father’s situation. She can’t be open and honest with Braden (to protect her father) and Braden can’t accept her keeping secrets from him. Doms will be Doms and Brats will be brats, and the results are exactly what you would expect, except maybe the punishments are a bit more BDSM oriented than DDlg. I have to say, I absolutely love everything about Charlotte’s personality. She is loyal and protective of her family, she takes sassy to a whole new level, and her brattiness is off the charts. So many laugh out loud comments and actions. She gets what she deserves and an HEA is achieved, but the story leaves the door open for yet another type of closure. A great read from a tremendous author! 5 Stars

What a fantastic story! It has it all! BDSM, Daddies, Little girls, and the explanation of the whole dynamic! Braden is the owner of a club and has been looking for a submissive for quite some time. What he didn’t realize is she’s been under his nose the whole time! Lottie may be his best friends daughter, but she is all woman to him. He just has to convince her, but how? So when something happens in his club, it brings them together in an unusual way. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about their journey, both of them learning more about the other. Lottie is such a breath of fresh air and I chuckled at her sassiness. But Braden, being the Dom he is, puts her thru the paces and loves every minute of it. These two belong together in every sense of the word. And their chemistry is so sizzling, I needed a fire extinguisher to put out the flames on my Kindle. This is a definite must read for all!

You are mine, only mine...

Charlotte was accustomed to the high life, but when she finds out her dad has dug himself into a hole financially, she has to grow up quick, put her big girl pants on and think of a way to fix it. An opportunity presents itself and she finds herself offering herself up for a huge amount of money in a virgin auction.

Braden has always been attracted to his best friends daughter. He discovers she has been bought at the auction and he steps in. Little does he know Charlotte has had a crush on him for years. Braden is facing a dilemma. She is his friends daughter but his captivation for her is overwhelming and therein lies the dilemma.

I love Charlotte's brattiness and how she pushed all of Braden's buttons. It was also fun seeing Emily and Damian, Desmond and Bastian popping up in this story.

Lottie is the 2nd book in the multi-author Cherry Popping Daddies series. It's not necessary to have read the previous book to enjoy Lottie and Braden's story, but the suspense sub-plot continues through all three books. There is a true age-gap - not just a few years - between them and additional relationships with family members, usually not something I enjoy. But Lottie and Braden proved me wrong! I thoroughly liked her brattiness, his no-nonsense care and the growing feelings between them. It's a very quick, insta-love read with plenty of steamy discipline and sexy times leading to a happy ending for the couple. But trouble is still brewing with the auctioneers planning their next auction, so it feels very much like a HFN.
I was lucky to have received a free copy from the author and am leaving this review voluntarily and honestly.

Stella Moore is at the top of her Daddy book game. This is the second book in a multi-author series, and man oh man is it a good one! Lottie sets out to auction off her virginity in order to settle her father's debts. She can think of no other way. Braden is her dad's best friend, and Lottie is off limits. When another Dom wins the auction, all bets are off. He rescues Lottie,becomes her Daddy, and finds in her a mouthy brat in need of a red hot bottom.
This story is so hot. A quick read, it is the second in a multi-author trilogy, and all of the books are one-click worthy. I loved Lottie and Braden. I hope you do too.

It's hard not to fall in love with Lottie. At the start of the story she is a spoiled rich girl, no job lots of money. But Lottie is so much more and her strength of character shines through. She is just the right person to push and pull Dominant and bored Braden. They are so good and hot together. There are lots of hot erotic scenes. I enjoyed all the well done characters. This is a really well written and described story with lots of different elements that will hold the readers interest. I received an advanced reader copy of this book and am leaving an honest review. Well worth reading.

Amei Lottie, a hea é hilária, o he não la essas coisas como DaddyDom, mas da p o gasto ela em compensação e ótima, uma pirralha mimada e que consegue o q QR o tempo inteiro kkkkkk
Amei
O he e Braden, eu acho, não consigo diferenciar até agora o nome dos irmãos, a descrição dele e nula, só sei q já passaram dos 40 e q esse em especial está sempre de terno.
O título de galã realmente ficou p o mafioso Killian q aparece como comprador de Lottie, espero q a autora tenha um livro p ele.
No mais foi gostoso de ler, mas não vale uma releitura.

This is the second book in the Cherry Popping Daddies series and it's by Author Stella Moore. Braden is trying to figure out who is using his club for these auctions so when Lottie offers herself up for the money, he is NOT happy! Without going into all the details, he isn't the one who wins her but he sure isn't going to let anyone else have her. I loved how sassy Lottie is. These two clash but will they come together in the end? Well, you just need to get the book and find out for yourself.

Lottie and Braden

I absolutely love this story and this series. This can be read as a standalone but there is a series plot that ends in a cliffhanger. I am a sucker for age-gap and power exchange so this story did not disappoint. The steam is so spicy and it spread throughout the story. Braden is a Daddy Dom but there isn’t any real age play but there is lots of punishments because Lottie is a total brat. Great read!!

I have a thing for brats, lol. I think it's because I can live vicariously through them. And Lottie is a delightful brat. She's smart and sassy, and has a huge heart. She's also found herself in a desperate situation. Enter Braden. He's older than she is, dominant, and knows what he wants when he gets it. I loved their chemistry and their connection.

The story has a little bit of everything - romance, steam, humor, suspense, amazing side characters, and a HEA. I loved it!

Lottie (book 2 in the Cherry Popping Daddy series) is an excellently written, deliciously kinky and highly entertaining age-gap, daddy dom romance that had this reader simultaneously laughing, swooning and furiously fanning herself.
With an ongoing mystery, absolute lovable characters, a plot full of heart and sass, and a chemistry bursting with heat, this fun, upbeat and heartwarming story made for one thoroughly enjoyable read from start to finish.

So much more than I was expecting.

Wow, this one starts off fantastic! The building mystery/evil goings on are top notch and sooo intriguing. I wanted to dive right in and find out who was pulling all the strings.

The premise of the virgin auction may be a tried and true trope but the presentation is anything but. There is plenty of humour and the author does a great job of maneuvering her characters around unique situations for maximum reading enjoyment.

Charlotte and Braden's story was a naughty, steamy, kinky treat. I thought Braden was very swoony with all his fierce Daddy Dom tendencies and I genuinely liked Lottie, even though I'm not really a brat fan because I could really feel for her. Watching her push his buttons and boundaries was fun as was seeing him take her in hand and take care of her.

Daddy's girl

Lottie finds out her dad has gambled away his money and enters an auction for her virginity to pay the bills. Braden is her dad's best friend and he buys her from the man who won the auction. Now he's her Daddy and things are complicated and her sassy mouth is getting her butt in trouble. Lots of spankings and use of her entire body.

What can I say except that this book was so damn hot! I wasn't sure if I could get into this dynamic and man was I wrong. Lottie is a self proclaimed spoiled little rich girl. Braden is about to turn her world upside down. This story was fast paced, fun and sweet. Fantastic read!

I loved Lottie and Braden. I Liked that they already knew each other but Lottie is in need of money that puts her at club BDE. I really enjoyed the way Lottie and Braden were together and their chemistry. I thought they were perfect for each other.

All three of these books are excellent. The authors set up their stories to be sequential, but interwoven.

Excellent. But you have to be comfortable with the age gap. And the emphasis on the virgin FMC. But that was the setup.

Dual POV - listened to the audio and it is single narration- but it was still pretty good. Not sure if I will continue or not - I didn’t read book 1 and was ok, did really feel like I was missing anything.

I loved it Lottie has got herself into a predicament and Braden steps in all possessive and calm and puts her through the steps. She was such a brat I loved how she pushed all his buttons.

They both secretly attracted to each other was icing on the cake man these two are perfect together. What a great exciting story.

This was a good story. The characters are well written.
Braden is trying to find out who's running an auction under his clubs name. Lottie is joining the auction to pay off debt her father got himself into. When Braden finds out Lottie auctioned herself off, he no longer cares her father is his best friend. He won't let some stranger take her. He doesn't know why Lottie sold herself.
There is great chemistry between the two. Lotties antics and brattiness is no match for Bradens Daddy side. What happens when he finally discovers the reasons behind her actions? Read and find out!

Forbidden romance, dad’s best friend tension, and a whole lot of spice — this DDlg read pulled me in fast. The auction element added high-stakes drama, while the protective Daddy energy and discipline dynamic kept things intense and addictive. Definitely smut-forward but still had enough emotion to keep me invested. Check triggers, but if you love taboo tension and possessive vibes, this one was so good.
