I finished the book, but man I have more than a few complaints.
1. The situation with coffee shop boss. Seriously, it's a barista job, u couldn't find one that didn't have grabby hands? It paid so well u put up with it and the horrible customers?
2. Luna was annoying! I understood some of where she was coming from with the kind of mom and childhood she had. So, it was obvious she was stunted in ways and clearly lacked a proper role model. She managed to use her kid as an excuse for everything; not to get a better job, not to have her own life, to take the job, to not tell the father, etc. And all the mommy guilt! As a mom myself, I know this to be a real thing, but it was done obnoxiously.
3. The sex. Wanted to love it. It was great, but if Luna was really concerned where was the safe sex talk? Birth control? STD testing? Nope jumped straight into unprotected sex. And the amount of anal without any lube?! Nope. If a hint had been provided that that was the sensation hoping to be achieved I could have gotten behind it (lol).
4. Sex does not equal love. There was a lot of sex and a couple conversations where she felt justified in digging into their past trauma with no reciprocation. I can see her falling for the men, but I'm not sure what they fell in love with.
5. The ending. It was rushed and unsatisfying. I wanted more in regards to handling the grandma issue. There is no excuse to keep a toxic person in your life because you think they treat your child better than they treated you and just waiting for the day they cause trauma to your child so the child's "bubble is burst" by someone other than you. These men have a lot of money and a company whose success is dependent on public perception, but how did they handle that? We don't know. Did they all move in together? Don't know. Marriage talk? This your daddy talk? More kids talk?
Overall, it was well written and these maybe more of a "my issue" than a story issue, but I'm not sure if I want to risk another book by this author.
I hated Luna 😐. She was so whiny and dramatic, and though she had some of her own problems with self doubt, she also treated her guys like crap (was pretty self-centered), and they were far more understanding than they should have been, the poor guys.
The male narrator for this one was pretty great though, and I am definitely keeping an eye out for books he narrates! 👀
This was fun and engaging. I liked it a lot and will be checking more by this author. Particularly in audio, if it keeps this level of quality. Both narrators were wonderful, but extra props to Gabriel Spires for one fucking excellent Spanish accent.
I have to say this is my favourite book by this author ;) I loved all the main characters, their chemistry and the heat they produced in their sexy times, and even the age accuracy of Luna's little girl, Hazel. Everyone gelled so well, caught me up with the kinky times and the suspense and angst were well done. I even loved the concept of New Leaf, the guys' company. There was just so much good in this story that it will definitely be getting a good spot on my re-read shelf :D Well done!
2.75 Lol!! I'm not sure why I was expecting more?? Maybe because of the ratings? If you're looking for a quick fun read and can suspend reality for a minute, then this might be for you. (Mild BDSM ⚠️).
**** Spoilers below ****
The book started off alright, but at about 80% it lost the plot. I'll admit I was surprised by the BDSM, but it wasn't a heavy part of the story. However ... At 80% she discovers she's pregnant, even though it's only been 2 wks *eye roll*, and even though she's been diligent taking the pill *double eye roll*. She then pushes the guys away ... Because that makes sense. And finally her daughter is kidnapped (which was not written realistically ... Like at all!) ** Before 80% a solid 3 stars. After 80% 1.5-2 stars.
Eine humorvolle, romantische, leicht dramatische und hitzige Geschiche die einen leichten und flüssigen Schreibstil hat und mit wechselnder Erzählperspektive aller Protagonisten erzählt wird.
Mir hat sowohl die Storyline gefallen die nicht nur einen anderen Blickwinkel in die Mode und Modelwelr zeigt und man nicht dünn sein muss um sexy zu sein sondern auch das es ein liebevolles und familiäres Ambiente haben kann. Auch das Setting auf der Insel mit seinem Strand und den Geschäften wurde gut beschrieben so dass ich es mir Bildlich vorstellen konnte wie Luna mit Hazel am Strand spielt oder mit einem der Jungs in einem Cafe sitzt. Natürlich gibt es viele heiße Szenen, romantische Augenblicke aber auch ernste und tiefgründige Gespräche und sogar ein wenig dramatische und chaotische sowie humorvolle Momente. Man hat wahrlich mit Luna mitgefierbt und mitgefühlt aber sich auch mit ihr gefreut, gelacht und geweint.
Auch die Charaktere waren mir alle sehr sympathisch. Luna ist trotz ihrer schweren Kindheit und einer kalten Mutter, eine liebevolle, herzliche, hilfsbereite, freundliche und willenstrake Frau und Mutter geworden die anderes als ihre eigne Mutter sie aufopferungsvoll um ihre Tochter Hazel kümmert und sie immer an erster Stelle stellt. Hazel ist einfach das süßeste und liebevollste Kind das ich je gesehen habe, aber zeigt auch ihre bockigen Seiten was sie umso süßer machte.
Nun zu den Jungs.... Silver wird als schüchtern und zurückhaltend beschrieben, doch meiner Meinung nach war er zwar still und ruhig aber alles andere als schüchtern und zurückhaltend. Eher sehr besitzergreifend und beschützerische aber auch dominat, liebevoll, herzlich und stellt Luna über alles andere.
Harper ist der freundliche, hilfsbereite, liebevolle Mann der sehr den Part des emotionalen und einfühlsamen Wert legt, besonders bei seiner Partnerin und bei seinen Freunden wert legt. Seine ruhige und ehrliche Art hat mich einfach verzaubert.
Desi ist der wilde, chaotische und doch liebenswerte Mann der zwar zu seinen Gefühlen stehen kann, jedoch erstmal alles eher abstreitet oder zu locker sieht. Hat er dich jedoch für jemanden entschieden, bleibt er dieser Person loyal und stellst sie über sich selbst und sorgt für ihr Wohl.
Das Ende war mir dann etwas zu schnell und apprupt zu ende gegangen, vorallem weil ich gerne als Leserin erfahren hätte wie Hazel das alles aufnimmt.
Boss Daddies, a book in The Forbidden Reverse Harem series, was about 26-year-old Luna Quinn, a barista and single mother, and Harper Saunders, The CEO, Lead Designer, and co-owner of New Leaf, a ladies' specialty fashion brand, Desi Canizares, the second co-owner and lead stylist for New Leaf, and Silver Duncan, the third co-owner, as well as their lead photographer. Luna became a single mother when she was still in college, but she poured all of her time, love, and attention into her daughter as she could. She worked hard to provide the girl's every need but sometimes fell short. When an opportunity to earn some major cash was given to her, she took it with both hands. The only drawback to the offer was that Luna knew Silver from six years earlier...intimately from a one-night-stand. But regardless of already knowing Silver, Luna accepted the modeling job she was offered. The storyline was good, and there was plenty of angst and drama, but there were too many issues that remained unresolved at the end. The horrible mother wasn't dealt with (to MY satisfaction) at all. That line of interest was just dropped and never picked back up. I only gave it a three-star rating because there was too much fluff.
Six years ago Luna met Silver and they had a passionate life changing night together. A few weeks later, Luna discovers she is pregnant but she can't read the number he left with her. Now Luna is raising her young daughter by herself and having problems making ends meet. Then she gets an amazing offer from Harper, He wants her to model their clothes in a calendar shoot and for a few weeks work in a tropical paradise, he is willing to pay her a million dollars. Of course she accepts even though she is very attracted to Harper. On the island she learns that Harper has two partners, one of which is Silver. Now she has to decide if she is going to tell him the truth about their daughter. Plus she is very attracted to all three business partners.
Harper, Silver and Desi became family and partners almost six years ago when they all had to face loss. Silver was heartbroken when Luna never called him again. He has focused on their business. They have an upcoming shoot and are down one model. Harper offers the job to Luna, a model he found on the internet that he raves about. They are all shocked to find out that Harper's model is Silver's lost love. They are all very attracted to her and very willing to share her. They just have to convince her to give all of them a chance.

His book is something else. Luna has been struggling to raise her daughter Hazel in a way that was different from the way her own mother had raised her...so to speak. Luna basically raised herself as her mother would leave her alone for long periods of time as she was our chasing men. The only time she was home for a substantial time was when she was being nursed by Luna because of a breakup. However her mother filibuster opportunity to try and tell Luna that she was the one that was the bar mother.
Luna gets a job offer to model for a clothing line. She would make one million dollars for a little over two weeks worth of work. She takes the job but her life gets so much more complicated when she finds herself in a sexual relationship with the three owners of the company: one of which unknowingly is Hazel's father. Things get really crazy when Hazel disappears. Be warmed though that the sexual interaction is very intense. If this is something that bothers you, you may not be comfortable reading this, but you will miss out on an awesome story.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the story and highly recommend it to those who enjoy this type of book. This story was hot from the moment that Luna accepted the modelling job with her ex one night stand and the CEO of the fashion company she got inspiration from. Harper was beautiful and Luna was already in lust with him, then she sees Desi and his dark good looks are even better in person. Silver has always been her dark secret, the father of their daughter Hazel. The three weeks that she is on the island doing the photo shoot turns out to be the hottest days of her life until she finds out that she is pregnant again but doesn’t know who the father is. Suddenly there is an emergency that brings them all together and Unites them in a way that they didn’t plan. They go onto a happy ending with all four of them together with Hazel, the daughter and another child on the way.
I am voluntarily, giving my review on this book, and this is my honest and true opinion.
I love reverse harem stories but I must admit that some of these scenes are so unbelievable I just don't try to make sense of them. Like the last one, in the office on a desk, on her back. Now one boss is busy with her mouth. Well and good. That puts him up by her face and out of the problem. One is supporting her pelvis to get at her back door. The remaining lover is taking her remaining, more traditional opening. However, she's 7 months big. How the blazes can he possibly find room among the desk edge, other male body, and 7 months of fetus and supporting growth to even get into her? I mean these men are 6 ft plus, wide shoulders and solid thighs. They are on a desk so no spare space below what she's lying on. Cullen never said one climbed on the desktop. But my imagination just can't picture it working. Nonetheless it is fun to read and I did enjoy the book; I just don't take it literally. Thanks, ma'am.
Luna is struggling to raise her daughter on her and just as she is about to give up an amazing offer comes her way. A company called New Leaf wants her to be their model. She's excited until someone from her past shows up. Silver is partners with Harper and Desi in the New Leaf company, and he shared an amazing night with Luna five year before. Its not long before things get complicated as Luna gets involved with all of the men. However, nothing is easy because someone doesn't like that and just may cause some problems. Will this be something serious between them all?
This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.

1) Honestly the amount of times the word suckled is used, is just downright criminal. Please find another verb. These aren’t babies on tits. 2) Why are you working somewhere you are constantly sexually harassed? And accepting of it?? Just eww 3) It’s extremely unrealistic that a random girl would get offered a modeling contract for 2 weeks, all expenses paid, for $1,000,000 out of the blue. It could have at least been written a little more realistically. 4) Luna is so annoying! And insta-love/lust just isn’t my thing. 5) The ending was ridiculous. When what happens to her daughter happens and she screams at the guys that she’s pregnant and Silver is the father of her daughter, that was done horribly and everything else after that was so rushed.
This book is intended for mature readers only. It contains elements of BDSM that are consensual. It also deals with other emotional issues. For six years she has raised her daughter on her own and put up with her dysfunctional and verbally abusive mother. She is working a dead-end job with a creepy boss, but with her best friend. One day she receives an email that seems to be the answer to all her prayers. Little does she know that this opportunity is going to hold so many surprises and experiences...it will definitely be a once in a lifetime experience. I experienced a whole gambit of emotions while reading this book and I hope that her best friend will get a story.

I enjoyed reading this RH, which surprised me mostly because it is a shorter RH which I'm usually not the biggest fan of as I feel like relationships don't have the time to fully be created. Although, I'm not saying that it wasn't the case in this book... I was a little better than others. However, I never thought I would say that but there was just too much sex to the point where I wanted to skip it, because I would have rather read a cute moment or activity that didn't involve 🍆🍆🍆🐱. Also, I did enjoy Hazel, especially as I found her to not be as annoying as some kids in certain books and she was acting like what I would imagine a 5 year old would do.
Overall, I like this cute and emotional little family.
I don't read these reverse harem stories very often, simply because being a man, I can't imagine myself being in those situations. Most of us, men that is, aren't bred to share! This is one of the few stories that presented a tale of three men who already shared enough love for each other, and simultaneously embraced their mutual attraction to the woman. Somehow, and I'm surprised myself, this story became believable enough to me that I could picture myself being one of those men, so in love with this woman and child, that it was an easy afterthought for them! Excellent, well-written, and believable! Enjoy!
Too good to be true kind of story. Luna gets a job offer via email to be a model for a calendar wearing sexy clothes. They offer to pay her a million dollars to do the shoot, they will take her and her daughter Hazel, pay for daycare and lodging to do this shoot. Little does Luna know, Silver, one of the men doing the shoot, is Hazel’s father from a hot steamy sexy one night stand 5 years ago. Harper, Silver and Desi are 3 hoooot men that all want Luna, desperately. They all have a relationship, most of the time together and sometimes one on one. There is no jealousy, just commitment. Luna gets pregnant and doesn’t know how the men will feel about it or how to react.
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ reverse harem x3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ very good writing for most part, ending was rushed. I really wished we got to know who the father is, not that it would matter, but just interesting. I always want to know how the dynamic would work as a family. & I don’t think I’ve ever got to see it played/written out for me. I wanna know how they choose who they want the father to be this time? Who she gets married to? Who’s in the birth certificate? The living situation? I don’t want it to end so early. The social situation? Etc.
I really enjoyed this reverse Hearn read. The characters were absolutely amazing and it was well written. All 4 of the main characters have gone through some kind of trauma and the author did a nice job touching up and those things and showing how they made it throw that trauma which I know a lot of people like to read. If you do not like multiple relationships with the characters this is not a book for you. I loved this book and would love to buy a trophy copy and would read again. Beautiful story.
How her vagina is fine, it writes she is achy but carries on and keeps getting pounded but whatever, truly a fantasy. Also when the guy finally realizes he’s the dad of the first kid, it made me laugh, “I look at her hazel eyes, my eyes!” yeah no shit, dummy. It’s a fast read and it does get damn well steamy. And if they kept their eyes off of eye fucking her, they all could have noticed that some employees were not happy with the situation! Discretion is the name of the game, people in a professional setting!
If you're not a fan of the pregnancy and single mom tropes, then this one could still be worth reading. This author does a great job of blending the lives of the characters so they are not totally defined by the tropes that their characters represent. Also, these are people who have had lives and are learning, or have learned, how to deal with their emotions in a healthy and respectful manner.
A fun, surprisingly uncomplicated read, that I completed in one sitting.
Single mother Luna secures a dream modelling job which should set her up for life. Arriving on location, it turns out to be so much more when she meets her employers, all three of whom she finds massively attractive. Well written characters, interesting plot and plenty of steamy scenes throughout. There’s so much heat in this book, I’m surprised it didn’t burst into flames!.

This is my first Lisa Cullen book and I really enjoyed the storyline. The backstory of the characters really got me and I'm not gonna lie, the story had me in tears in some parts, but I love that in a book. I enjoyed the steaminess and the suspense part as well and of course that there was a HEA. Overall enjoyable read.

This was a really good story until the pregnancy. Although all women vary, the likelihood of getting pregnant when your period is due is VERY HIGHLY unlikely. A bit of research into the female reproductive cycle would help the author.
Otherwise, it's a good story. Loved the characters and the varied approaches each brought to the relationship.
Desperation for a better life for her daughter becomes a challenging quest to break free from the taunting accusations from her mother that she was a bad mother to Hazel. I liked how the author helped us understand the characters. Human emotions bring depth to the story. Each person had something in their past that shaped them. Annabelle had an obsession with Desi that caused the final catastrophe that brings the story to its climax. It was a very good read.
This author knows how to write a hot story. This is my first book by this author and it will not be my last. I will read every book from here on when I see Lisa Cullen on the cover. A 5 year secret, and a new relationship budding with these four definitely make things a little tricky. Throw in a jealous employee and it all spells out drama. I was hooked from the beginning of this story. I'm not really ready for it to be done.
