After Papi’s Protection,i knew there was more to come in Cat and Alejandro’s story.
Papi’s Savior proved me right,and getting the ARC was a very welcome gift.

Cat and Alejandro’s life was perfect,he loved and protected her from harm,she loved and saved him from becoming an old grumpypants.
The punishments she received as a result of her efforts were not as much fun,but she’d happily take them if it made him smile.
He even gave her the wedding she’d missed because he couldn’t wait to make her his wife.
That was a wonderful party,if only his brother Dante could’ve been there,too….
These days,she even got along with Bernie,aka Doomy Gloomy,but her new guard,Rafael…..he really was a Grumpypants!
(Ok,he may have had a rough time being undercover,but still…)
All she did was go for an icecream,and he acted like she committed a crime!
Until it got her kidnapped…..then it wasn’t fun anymore.
And if that was all,she would’ve been ok.
But her Papi’s business was having problems,and she got kidnapped AGAIN!!
Plus,Rafael was nearly killed in the proces,and she was just starting to do her best to get along with him……
To top it all,it seemed that dead people weren’t dead,and family she didn’t know she had,were popping up with evil plans…..and worst of all,trying to kill her Papi!!
When would a girl FINALLY get to enjoy her happy after???

Cat and Alejandro are the perfect couple!
I really enjoyed her getting up to mischief,and him trying to keep her from getting into trouble….with the emphasis on trying,lol.
The past returning with a vengeance gave me some nailbiting moments,though…
Whilst i enjoyed seeing friends and family,and had fun with the Little girls antics,i admit i sighed in relief when i knew everyone was safe.

Cat is such a fun character to read.
This book was so freaking good.
I absolutely love Alejandro and Cat together. Cat is such a sassy brat, it’s so fun being inside her head. I love all the pranks, and nicknames, and teasing she does.
I just really enjoyed getting caught up on their side of the story while some of the previous connected books were going on.

Now I’m really wondering who will be next in this series…I’m kind of hoping it’s either gonna involve, Ortega, Rueben, or Nighthawke…but my best guess, based on what she’s done in the past, would be Bonnie. I can’t wait to find out.

I really thought Cat and Alejandro were the couple in Laylah's universe I wasn't really interested in / didn't care about....and of course, Laylah proves me wrong and does it with TWO books for them. 🤣

I adored Cat..for everything she'd been through, survived, and overcome she'd never lost her sense of self, fun, and her Little.

I loved the balance between Alejandro's bad guy / dangerous life with his love and enjoyment of life as Cat's Daddy. Such a swing in dynamics but it really worked.

The dark and gritty in their story really kept me on my toes but was balanced spot on with Cat's shenanigans...a balance I find that Laylah has perfected throughout her books.

We also got a ton of characters that I now NEED stories for: Rueben needs to get his Little ASAP. I really want The Scot, Rafael, Ortega, Dante and even Doomy Gloomy to get their HEAs. I feel invested in them all.

And finally, kudos to Laylah for balancing this books timeline over at least 2 other books she previously released. I can only imagine how hard that was. And I got excited connecting the dots between the stories.

Papi’s Savior by Laylah Roberts is the third installment of her Crime Boss Daddies series. In this mafia romance, Ms. Roberts continues the romantic journey of Cat and Alejandro. Ms. Roberts picks up their story two years later. Cat is still precocious and keeps Alejandro on his toes, especially with her antics that arrive from abandonment issues whenever he goes away for business. I appreciate how Ms. Roberts showcases the caring side of Cat as she works at bringing Alejandro and his brothers together. Like with the other books in this series, Ms. Roberts does a remarkable job. The dialog is outstanding. Her characters are multi-dimensional with vulnerabilities that endear them to her readers. I liked the suspense with the two antagonists—Emiliano and the wannabe Deity.

This was freaking amazing! Cat and Alejandro are literal soulmates. You can’t change my mind. I love how possessive and protective he is of her and vice versa. Her shenanigans absolutely crack me up.

I love all the new characters were being introduced to as well as mentions of already known ones. I said it once and I’ll say it again, I would sell a kidney for Rueben’s story. The Scot is also high up there. He is such a kook and I love it.

I think Papi’s Protection is my favorite of the two but this was still amazing.

Let me start my saying that the novels in Laylah Roberts' Crime Boss Daddies series are ones you really need to read in the order they were written because this novel, Papi's Savior, Book #3 has so many allusions to characters and situations featured in the first two novels, it may be hard to just jump in with Papi's Savior, and to understand the relationship between Little Cat and her Papi/Alejandro, and why she would be so attracted to a dangerous crime lord.

The novel opens with Cat and one of her totally crazy and hilarious ideas (when her Daddy is away, Cat will play), and being a human bowling ball while lying on a skateboard in the hallway and shooting for a strike with giant bowling pins had me laughing myself silly, and when her Papi catches her at it. It's the first of more than just one well-deserved spanking.

If I've not mentioned it in any if my reviews of the books in this series before, I absolutely love the nicknames Cat gives to her bodyguards and Papi's household staff--they are also laugh out loud funny, as are the things she thinks about, and her eagerness to to make her no-bake bars (again, not giving this secret away either).

However, while the opening had me laughing, it's not long before things take on a much more serious tone--including Mexican drug cartels, kidnapping, attempted murder, and even actual murder. Oh, yes, let me also mention the reappearance or new appearance(?) of someone calling themselves The Deity, and no, I won't divulge any secrets, so you'll just have to read this series for yourself, and then eagerly await publication the next book in the series, as I'll be doing. It's quite a ride, and I hope you enjoy it as much I have.

I voluntarily read an author-supplied advance reader copy of this novel. The opinions stated are my own.

1.5* Seriously bad. Too many spelling mistakes, and plot mistakes and virtually no plot.

I don’t even know where to start with this book. It was so bad at times, there are tiny parts that are okay, but I do mean tiny parts. There’s no plot, and what tiny plot there is is over way too fast. Cat is now happily married to Alejandro and she doesn’t work, so sits at home all day playing tricks on people, or doing stupid things. For example buying silk ropes, tying them to the ceiling really high, and trying to do a dance with them, and nearly breaking her neck! She’s an idiot!!! 😡😡 The s*x scenes are 🤮 Alejandro calls Cat his kitten, and she acts like a cat, with a tail in her a*se. 🤮🤮🤮 They’re so cringy it’s like the author is trying to be more exciting and she fails badly! Even worse is that she’s done the whole kitten thing in another book and I hated it then! 😡😡

Alejandro is constantly punishing Cat when she’s been naughty. If he’s not smacking her bottom, she’s just stood in the corner with a pl*g in her bottom, with a cats tail attached to it. 🤮🤮🤮

Then there are the mistakes. Endless spelling mistakes, plot mistakes, whole sentences are repeated, bizarrely, and missing words everywhere. It gets more and more ridiculous and insane plots.

A lot of the book we’ve already read as it’s in the first book. (?) I think it was the first one. So I knew what was going to happen.

I’m so disappointed. 😭😭

I look forward to every book in this series, and Cat And Alejandro are by far my favorite couple. I was literally pinned to the pages, and what initially grabbed my attention was the humor and intensity Ms.Roberts instilled in her characters. The story was action-packed and full of emotion, drama, and danger. Throw in kidnapping, mystery, and suspense, and you have the complete package. Possible sightings of people from her past had Cat questioning her sanity and Alejandro questioning his judgment. Cat antics were hilarious, and she was more mischievous than ever if that was even possible, but Alejandro was up to the challenge. Poor Cat found herself over her Daddy’s knees more often than not. Her relationship with her guards was unique, and did she give them the runaround. Cat was comfortable spending most of her time as a little, but when needed, she proved she could
rise and be there when Alejandro needed her. Alejandro was loving, super protective, and made sure Cat’s needs were met whether she was in little space of not.

Ms.Roberts has the ability to create a diverse range of characters with their unique personalities book after book. I am happy to say I'm addicted and have no plans to stop reading her books anytime soon.

Alejandro and Cat part 2

Alejandro is 36 in this book. And they are getting married. Then the story skips to 10 months later. The Scot and Cairn are his personal body guards. Him and Cat have been together 2 years now. Cat is 23. The Scott is hilarious, I can't wait to see who his Little is. Dante is interesting. I'm curious about his stepsister. Could he possibly have an interest in her? With the doscussion of how Alejandro and Dante are cousins and Ortega is both of their half brothers i could see it possibly leading towards Bonnie and Dante being together, maybe with a third? Bonnie and her bodyguard Titus are so funny together. I remember reading about them in Hacks book and wondering if maybe there was something more between them. Ortega is a sweetheart, completely deadly but also sweet. Who is this fake Deity? Is it possible it's the same one and he was never really dead? Why was Mikey with Starla when he seemed to dislike her and she never stopped talking about Vince? I really really really wanna know who the Cleaner is. Why does Nighthawk have a fear of leaving the house? I hope Nighthawk moves closer to Cat and Alejandro. Such an amazing story.

So far the series has consisted of great stories and this is a great addition to it. I loved everything about this story. It has a great storyline with wonderful characters, a special Little and the Papi who loves her. I absolutely loved the banter between Cat and Alejandro which caused me to laugh throughout the story. I loved Cat in that I was always wondering what she was going to do next which kept Alejandro on his toes but he loved her more than ever. There were times of extreme danger that demonstrated the power and violence that was part of Alejandro’s world. I found it appealing that all of his men were so protective of Cat and treated her with great respect. There are so many strong secondary men in this story that I would love to see them find their Little which would mean this series will have many future stories. There is still danger which I assume will lead into the next story. This is a story/series that is worth reading.
I received a free copy of this book via Bookfunnel and are voluntarily leaving a review.

brilliant!

This may have been the best book Laylah has written yet. I’m not sure if the crime boss element is what’s pushing it over the edge but it is sooo good! It was packed FULL of action. And oh so spicy….and there was so much character development for all the characters. I’m quite confident that many of these characters will get their own books in time. And I’m totally here for it! And I’d like to just say I think Reuben is going to have two Littles. One being Nighthawk and a female we haven’t met yet. Juliet did make a comment about him being involved with a man at some point. And he is super concerned about Nighthawk. Everyone is, but him more so. And I can not wait! As long as the story and spiciness is equally divided between both his Littles through the story, unlike with the Fox’s story…

Alejandro De Leon et Cat

Daddy et petite fille

📖
Elle est allée chercher des réponses, et à la place, elle l'a trouvé. . .
Aimer un Daddy Dom surprotecteur et autoritaire comporte ses défis.
Alors qu'il est aussi l'homme le plus puissant et le plus dangereux de la ville. . . ouais, les choses deviennent encore plus compliquées.
Ajoutez à cela un mariage, des problèmes familiaux, un nouveau garde du corps et la vie n'est définitivement pas tranquille.
Une chose est sûre cependant. Alejandro fera tout ce qui est nécessaire pour prendre soin de Cat, quelle que soit la menace.
Cela inclut de la prendre sur ses genoux lorsqu'elle a besoin de lui rappeler qui est aux commandes.

My heart is so full and happy right now after reading the continuation of Papi and Cat’s story. These two have ingrained themselves so deep into my heart. This story has it all! Mystery, murder, lust and lots of love! Cat certainly continues to keep Papi on his toes and he loves every minute of it. He’s very protective of her, and rightfully so being she tends to get into quite a bit of trouble. Their witty banter made me laugh out loud so many times! Cat is such a breath of fresh air and you can’t help but fall in love with her. She is fiercely protective of those she loves, and when it comes to her Papi, watch out! I also thoroughly enjoyed the other characters and how Cat just endears herself to all of them. I didn’t want this story to end. I could read about these two endlessly!! Brilliant!

Loved it!

Papi’s Savior is book three of the Crime Boss Daddies series and the second book of Alejandro and Cat’s story. I am loving this series so much and the suspense in them. And who doesn’t love a possessive and protective Papi? I loved Cat’s sassiness and her inner dialogue. She was strong but also vulnerable. Her mouth sure knew how to get her into trouble and had me laughing out loud several times! I don’t want to say too much and give anything away but this book was amazing and a quick read. I literally read it in one sitting and couldn’t put it down! I can’t wait for some of the side characters stories…especially Reuben! I do recommend reading Papi’s Protection before starting this book though so you have more of the context of Alejandro and Cat’s story.

Excellent book!

This is a continuation of Cat and Alejandro‘s story. Parts of the books has some scenes from Fierce Daddy and Daddy’s Obsession. This book made me laugh and cry. There is some mystery and plot twists I didn’t see coming. Cat is her usual outgoing self pulling her pranks on others. She’s very caring for those in her family especially, her Papi. At one point, Cat experiences an event that questions if she’s too outgoing. Alejandro supports her to be herself and he will be there to protect her. They both can’t be without the other, are protective of each other, and will kill those who hurt them. I’m hoping there will be books out in the other characters. Good read!

In the first book we saw how Cat and Alejandro met and it was a really good story, but this one I had to laugh at Cats antics she really does love to get into trouble it seems lol. However with Alejandro thing are always going on in the background and it dosnt take long for Cat to get into trouble and get kidnapped, not once but twice, along with that she swears she sees her mother again and a ghost of the past who is surpossed to be dead?

Laylah Roberts really is a master of her littles and the antics they love to get into . I think that there are only 2 more littles that will rival Cat and her antics lol i wonder if you can think who they might be.

A definite must read like all of Laylahs books you really dont want to miss out on this.

Sassy Cat’s Forever Papi

Papi's Savior is the next chapter in Cat and Alejandro's sizzling hot journey. Two years after Papi's Protection, their love is still strong, affectionate, and intimate. When bad things happen, their bond is tested, but their love proves to be forever. The sexy scenes are 🔥, and the storyline kept me flying through this book. I love how the author's imagination crafted this story, making it fun to read and letting my imagination run free. As for critics who don't like the main character being a criminal, I say if you don't like it, don't read it – let others enjoy what they love without judgment. I certainly wouldn't condone Alejandro's behavior in real life, but in this book, it works beautifully. 🤓

Laylah Roberts at her best

It was so difficult to read this book, why you might ask, well apparently I am not allowed to read the whole book in one night ( not fair) and then I was told not in one day Pff like what ever. How can you pick up one of Laylah's books and not be so completely and totally wonderfully engrossed and entertained. Cat and Papi are fantastic and I love how Papi indulge's Cat and is willing to go scorched earth for his precious. But now I have to wait for the next book life is so unfair guess I will have to reread the whole series again oh life can be so hard pff!

Adorable!!! Cat and Alejandro her Papi are meant to be. The storyline is exciting, fresh and has its twists and turns that you never see coming. I loved the way Cat is just jumping out of the pages. You can almost see her jumping on her toes or saying things out loud that she thinks are just in her head. I’m so glad that these two characters got a little more in depth and that created this book. It was awesome. Danger is at every corner. The steaminess will melt your e reader. When it’s pretty much all said, you get that love is at the very core of most everyone, family, friends and even a Doomy Gloomy.

I reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

This is the conclusion of Alejandro (Papi) and Cat's story and it was everything. It's really hard for me to pick a favorite character or couple when it comes to Ms. Roberts, but Cat has intrigued me for a while now. She's so brave and impulsive, but she's also anxious and suffers from PTSD. Alejandro is dangerous and deadly, but he's so sweet with her. I love their connection, and they have some seriously steamy scenes. Like everything else this author puts out, this one is full of humor, heartbreak, hope, and heat. We get a lot of answers in this one, and I found the wrap up very satisfying. I don't think it needs to be said that I'm looking forward to the next release.

Awesome

The second part of Cat and Alejandro's story focal point of this time they had now been together a couple yrs. Just wow, the intensity between them is hot 🔥 🥵. The drama people come back that you are shocked to see. Evil prevails, but Cat never gives up, and with her friends and bodyguards and her Papi on her side, she will come out on top. Another win for Laylah Roberts. I can't wait to see who she puts out there next for us to enjoy. This is definitely not a standalone should read the first 2 Crime Boss Daddies and even MC Daddies. There are mentions from characters from the MC series. 📚

Rating 4.5. CW: Mild Violence, drugging, kidnapping, off page domestic violence. This book has light D/s and Age Play.

This is the second book dealing with Alejandro and Cat, and the third in the Crime Boss Daddies series. This book is a light Mafia Romance. This book is not a standalone and you need to read Papi's Protection first. It would also be helpful to read Fierce Daddy (MC Daddies # 6) and Daddy's Obsession (Crime Boss Daddies # 1).

This book has all of Ms. Roberts signature style. Grumpy/Sunshine, loveable side characters, action, and spice. If you like romance and an anti hero or a bad guy who is good for just one woman, you will enjoy this story.

This had a lot going on. It was entertaining and I enjoyed it. But I feel like the characters hadn't really "grown" at all from book 1 to this one.

I love how patient Alejandro is. He's strict but caring and definitely book boyfriend material.
Cat is funny and loyal. However this is 2 years after book 1 ended and she was the same
I know personalities don't change but I felt like there was no character development/growth for this to be later.

This one had more twists than I was expecting. It was really good and some questions were answered.

Definitely read book 1, I wouldn't count this as a standalone

This is a story that has everything fun and laughter, sadness and tears, violence and passion, lost relatives and found ones and wonderful, wonderful characters; Gray and Maeve and Tabby are also included in this story. The rhythm of the story is ideal, there are some serious parts interspersed with Cats crazy escapades, her imagination knows no bounds and Papi is so patient with her as is every man she has any relationship with including Rafael. The ending was unexpected but oh so perfect. This is a story that will have you flipping pages, holding your breath and laughing out loud.

Solid story

If you are a fan of Daddy Dom/little girl romance, then you need to read this book. Laylah Roberts had mastered this trope. Cat is the perfect blend of sweet little girl and naughty brat. You can't help but laugh at her antics. Alejandro is my favorite type of hero - a tough man who is a marshmallow for the woman he loves. He would burn the world down for his babygirl. This book fills in some holes from other books and also sets up future stories. Which pleases me greatly because it means I get to read more Laylah Roberts books!

This book picks up about two years after Papi's protection and Alejandro and Cat are planning their big wedding but there are outside forces from both of their past that are trying to destroy them. Someone is not only stealing from Alejandro but also targeting his business. Cat is kidnapped and Alejandro has no idea who is behind it. Cat is seeing things but is the past really dead. There were some twist and turns in this book that will leave you on an emotional ride. This was an very enjoyable read and I cannot wait for the next installment.

Wonderful story!

I so love Cat, when she's with her Papi' ! The man has a crime syndicate to run, and Cat this book has so many bad things happen to her, some, where covered in other books. Like when she is saved by Tabby, when she tries to escape her kidnappers, and Tabby calls attention to them,and helps Cat escape, to drive her to safety, and feed her, then allows her to contact her Papi'. One of many dangerous situations she seems to get drawn into. I am so glad she has one person back, to make her past pains ease a lot. HEA ending. Trish. A.

This was so good and I'm in awe of how Laylah Roberts handles the timelines in her stories. You definitely need to read Papi's Protection before diving into this one but man, this was so good. Cat and Alejandro were absolute perfection for each other. The story is packed full of action and of course, steamy heat but then, Laylah's books always deliver for me! And Reuben, good lord I can't wait for his story. It's gonna be epic!!! Just go get these books!
