Ice Cream with Izaiah

Little Rock Daddies #8

by Lucky Moon

Can a firefighting Daddy and a Little with a life-changing secret rekindle a romance that never truly ended?Zoey Miller, a secretive small-town ice cream parlor owner, has made a new life for herself in the close-knit community of Little Rock. Concealing her past and a precious secret, she thrives in the rhythm of her store, serving the locals the most indulgent frozen treats. But when a figure from her past walks into Sweet Scoops, her carefully constructed world threatens to melt away.

Ex-city firefighter Izaiah Steele, a man embodying strength and resilience, is seeking a fresh start in Little Rock after a traumatic incident at his former job. He didn't expect to find Zoey, his ex-Little and one-time love – the woman who declined his proposal to build a life together – serving up sundaes in this small town. At a towering six-foot-two, and with a blend of firm discipline and a tender heart, he's determined to untangle the mysteries she's meticulously hidden away.

Drawn back into the orbit of her past love for her old Daddy Dom, Zoey wrestles with whether to reveal the truth, a revelation that could either unite them or tear them apart forever. Can she risk exposing the secret she's guarded so fiercely? And if she does, can she accept the love and forgiveness she desperately seeks, not just from Izaiah but also from herself?

Lick your lips for ‘Ice Cream with Izaiah,’ the next heartwarming addition to the Little Rock Daddies series. Sizzling with age-gap romance, small-town intrigue, secret baby revelations, firefighter heroics, disciplinary journeys, and a Little's struggle with big secrets, this novella is an ice-cool treat for fans of protective Daddies, resilient Littles, and a narrative with an ending that’s almost too hot to handle.

A wonderful, heartfelt and riveting read of a Little and Daddy she ran from five years ago
Izaiah had just moved to Little Rock to start in his new position as the Fire Chief, a highly responsible position in a town where Littles and their Daddy’s are living their lives happily in the open.
Zoey and her daughter Mia who was her entire world had been living in Little Rock for some years whilst she had built her baby, her ice cream parlour which was called “Sweet Scoop”, It is extremely successful because of the wealth of fantastic flavours that both her daughter v
Imagine her surprise when as well as the multitude of customers visiting from far and wild she suddenly recognised a tall handsome man that entered, it was Izaiah the father of her daughter and the love of her life, her Daddy that she had left over five years ago and was unaware that he has a daughter.
As they couple begin to meet each other and spend time together he feels a tremendous pull to the little girl and wishes that both were permanently in his life, he has been enjoying his time spent with Zoey and has been able to help her reach her Little again by providing opportunities for Little Space.
Just as things seemed to be going so well it all begins to crumble around their ears all because of a comment by Zoey’s mother. I will not say any more as I do not want to spoil the plot for readers, I will guarantee that like me you will be completely captivated by this wonderful read.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

Part of the Little Rock Daddies series each can be read as a standalone with a daddy and the one who captures his undivided attention. Izaiah sexy as all get out fighter who accepted a new job in a new city Little Rock as the Fire Chief, he loves his job has always wanted his little and enjoys living in a town where daddies, their littles walk freely without judgement. Zoey is so sweet extremely creative when it comes to making ice cream in so many unique flavors, moved to Little Rock some time ago, successfully opened her own ice cream shop that is doing very well along with her daughter, she has known most of her life that she was a little and there is only one daddy for her the father of her daughter but she ran away from him years ago before learning she was pregnant. So, imagine both their surprise when she looks up and he is in line for some of her ice cream, oh to also rent her spare room and their journey begins again especially with how close he feels towards her daughter. He wants them both with him to take care of them, he wants help her find her little again giving her the space to be just a little but will others around her change their views of one another making her run again, will they be honest with each other about their feelings, how will he feel about a daughter, and will their second chance lead them to happiness as a family?

What an absolutely beautiful story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story and learning about these characters, and how they ended up having a second chance of being together and finding happiness. Izaiah and Zoey had a past together as Daddy Dom and Little girl. That wasn’t until Zoey discovered that she was pregnant, and she believed that Izaiah didn’t want to have children, so she ran away. Zoey worked hard in her ice cream parlour, and then one day Izaiah showed up to rent her spare room, he had Just moved to Little Rock as the fire chief at the fire station. He had no idea that he was a father, but the relationship between him and Mia, his daughter. It was only a matter of time that he would fall in love with her and want to spend his life with Mia and Zoey. When he learned the truth, there were some feelings, hurt and words said that should not have been said, but eventually they did work it out and had a happily ever after with another baby on the way.

I loved, loved, loved this series, and every book is orgiginal, yet the characters are memorable with great backstories.

I really like the Sweet Scoop ice cream parlor and Zoey's passion for it. The ice creams were immmediately visual just from their names and how big they were. It was great witnessing a successful business. I have always liked Little Rock as a town, and feel at home there by now. Her daughter Mia was so cute.

Who can resist a firefighter? I liked Izaiah and Zoey together, and also how he met Mimi. Their past is complicated.

If you want to know more, it's best you read the book.

I have now reviewed all the books in this series, plus more by Lucky Moon. She is an amazing author and the way she creates the Littles and their lives as well as the towns they live in is top notch.

I want the series to continue. Every book is quick, romantic and action packed as well as realistic.

5 stars

Zoey (h) juggles the demands of running Sweet Scoops, a bustling ice cream parlor in Little Rock, and raising her daughter, Mia, on her own. When her ex, Daddy Dom Izaiah (H), moves to town as the new Fire Chief, their worlds collide once again. Izaiah, unaware that Mia is his daughter, finds himself drawn back into Zoey's life. A chance encounter and a kitchen mishap lead to Izaiah temporarily renting a room in Zoey’s apartment. As they navigate their complicated past, unresolved feelings resurface, even as things heat up between the two as they revisit their Daddy/Little lifestyle. Zoey struggles to keep the secret that could change everything if it comes out. Lou is just so OTT. Hot and steamy DDlg second chance, secret baby romance exploring love, family, forgiveness, and new beginnings.

[ZJT · Rating 4 out of 5]

Perfect blend of hot and sweet.

Through an incredible and satisfying set of coincidences, Zoey and Izaiah have an opportunity for a second chance to rekindle their relationship. While I disagreed with some of Zoey's choices, I was happy that she was able to put aside her preconceived notions and misconceptions to embrace her unresolved feelings.

The story is quirky and fun, with an unusual character or two. The focus is on Zoey as she works through her insecurities, changing to exploring an old relationship made new through life experiences when Izaiah moves to town. I like the ending, very apropos.

This is a very sweet, somewhat complicated, second chance romance that came about 5 years after the fact that Zoey left her Daddy Izaiah with no explanation, just simply walked away. She ultimately settled in Little Rock and opened an ice cream store, but that left her very little time to care for and/or play with her precious/precocious daughter Mia, even with the sometimes help of her off beat mother. Then an epic coincidence happens when Izaiah leaves his job in Portland to take the job of Fire Chief in Little Rock, and that’s when the complications really set in. Zoey needs more money to take time off her day job, Izaiah needs a place to stay and well….. let the games begin. Old habits die hard, individual personas prevail, and their DDlg relationship is re-kindled. As with all the lovely stories in Little Rock, kinky relationships are the norm and (for the most part) there is full acceptance and support of individual preferences. A hot story with some truly unique characters and a lot of explicit sexuality all wrapped up with a beautiful HEA.

Talk about a delicious book to read and definitely one that you want be able to put down until the end. Zoey is a little that has moved to Little Rock and bought an ice cream shop, she'll have long queues, she stopped dead in her track's seeing the person in front of her. Izaiah has moved to Little Rock for a promotion with the fire department, he went to inquire and he was surprised aswell as being knocked back all he wanted to do was find out why she ran.

I loved Ice Cream with Izaiah. Zoey needed help. It had been five years since she left her Daddy Izaiah and she was tired. Being a single mom and running her ice cream shop was hard. She wasn’t expecting Isaiah to show up when she advertised a room for rent. Now she’s trying to figure out if she should let him in their life or not. She has a secret that could ruin the new relationship they are building. What will happen when Izaiah finds out? I loved the storyline and the characters. This firefighter daddy just wants his little back. I would definitely recommend this book.

What a wonderful story. We follow Izaiah and Zoey. They already have a history with each other. When she moves to Little Rock she opens an ice cream shop. She is a single mother and it is sometimes difficult to make ends meet. When she needs help, she places an advertisement to rent out a room. To her surprise, it is Izaiah the daddy she left with a secret, and he wants to know why she left him. Will this little one and daddy get a second chance at love, or will the secret she hides from him destroy their early happiness?

FIRE and ICE cream

Ice Cream with Izaiah is totally FIYA. There’s secrets, twists and turns. Most of all, there’s a good family feeling that’s given out. A wonderful kind of read for while your either traveling or staycationing.
Oh! The chemistry…The chemistry between Izaiah and Zoey is sooo hot, that it will melt your ice cream.
There’s just so much more, one can say.… this book makes you wish for a trip to Little Rock… I might need a reservation…lol…

Any opinions, recommendations, or suggestions expressed within this review our Solely and uniquely made by me. I originally and voluntarily received in advance copy of this book.

She just wanted a fresh start and to scoop her yummy ice cream. She only left because of poor communication between the two of them. She was a strong and very independent person and it was hard for her to ask for help. Her mom is a kick and can be tough to handle. When he walks into the store they are both lost for words. She was scared and wanted to keep him at a distance even through that is tough to do in a small town. When she finally accepts help and they talk it is amazing what life can bring them.

["They Did What?" · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another sweet, slightly angsty DDlg story in the cute town of Little Rock. It even brought in, just for a moment, the DDlg’ of Littlecreek Ranch. This is a second chance at love for Izaiah and Zoey. They have been apart for years but still care just as deeply for each other. I finished this in one sitting and just could not put it down. A well written story as a continuation of this amazing place of safety and freedom to be who you are deep down.

[Robyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Zoey owns an ice cream parlour in Little Rock. She is surprised when the town's new fire chief walks in. It is Izaiah, her ex Daddy Dom and the father of her daughter. Zoey left him because she felt he didn't want children. However, the attraction is still there, but will it survive misunderstandings?

A pleasant read.

sweets from the past

Another great read from a fantastic author.
When Izaiah comes to Little Rock to start over, he does not expect to see Zoey of all people.
Zoey is thrown into the past on seeing her ex-Daddy Dom.
With her secret, she does not have time to dive into little space and is afraid of getting involved with Izaiah due to the fact of her secret.
Love how they work through the problems and the misunderstanding from the past.

[Princess TJ · Rating 5 out of 5]

A dream come true! No one writes sweet Daddy Dom stories like Lucky Moon, and what could be sweeter than a Love Story that’s set in an ice cream shop. Zoey, Mia, and Izaiah get much more than they dreamed of and an amazing Happy Ever after in this story.

Zoey and Izaiah

This is a very good, short, well written, DD/LG romance. The characters are lovable and interesting. Zoey moved to Little Rock with her daughter to open an ice cream shop. Izaiah has moved to town to escape bad memories and become the new Fire Chief. Read how they meet after 5 years, rekindle their love, and share secrets.

[Jill · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love second chance romances and that is what Zoey and Izaiah have if a secret doesn’t tear them apart. Great storyline with wonderful characters. Definitely worth reading.

Cute Read

Second chances also work for Daddies and Littles, even if its a surprise when he shows up five years later and finds out the reason for her disappearance.

Super hot read. Who doesn't love a hot fire fire daddy? I love the world building, what I wouldn't give to live in a place where one can live life all the time in little space.
