Littles of Rawhide Ranch #2

Learning Little Lizzie

Rate this book
The Untameable Brat.

Eliza Bennett has more than earned her nickname. There’s nothing she loves more than watching that little vein in a Dom’s forehead pulse like it’s about to burst.

Until she meets Professor Samuel Eaton. The man Master Derek has just named as Eliza’s new guardian.

As strict as he is gorgeous, the cunning silver fox wastes no time putting Eliza in her place. That place being over his knee, where he lectures her like a naughty Little girl and threatens her with all the things Eliza hates.

Like having a Daddy to care for her most…intimate needs.

But as her new Daddy draws her deeper and deeper into his world of humiliating pleasures, the more she realizes he’s the first person to see her. All of her.

And if she lets him, he might just teach her a thing or two about the Little girl she was always meant to be.

Stand Out Story

Learning Little Lizzie by Stella Moore is a captivating addition to the Rawhide Ranch series that truly stands out. The story follows Eliza, a troubled young woman at Rawhide Ranch who constantly challenges authority and breaks the rules, earning herself quite the reputation. However, everything changes when Professor Samuel Eaton arrives. Intrigued by Eliza's bratty behavior, he knows that she was meant to by his and sets out to make her his Little.

What I particularly enjoyed about this book is how the author treated Eliza's struggles with great respect. Instead of infantalizing her character, Ms. Moore delves into Eliza's emotions and the reasons behind her rebellious actions, offering readers a deeper understanding of her behavior. This approach not only makes Eliza relatable but also allows readers to connect with her on a more personal level.

Samuel is everything one could hope for in a Daddy Dom. His love and patience are evident throughout the story. He genuinely wants to get to the heart of Eliza's problems and help her resolve them, yet he loves her exactly as she is, quirks and all. This balance between understanding and acceptance makes Samuel an admirable character, and it’s easy to see why Eliza is drawn to him.

The authenticity with which the author handles Eliza's journey is something many readers can relate to. Ms. Moore showcases the complexities of Eliza's character in a way that feels real and honest, making her journey all the more impactful.

Learning Little Lizzie is a strong reminder of why I enjoy the Rawhide Ranch series. The characters are well-developed, the story is interesting, and the emotions are genuine. If you’re looking for a book with romance, personal growth, and real connections, this one is definitely worth reading

Captivating read, great characters and a simply wonderful storyline that had me riveted
Eliza Bennett has been at Rawhide Ranch for several years and she has lots of friends there and has loved every moment of her time there even the punishments that keep the subs and Littles in line whilst they are studying at the ranch or seeking sanctuary and safety.
Samel Eaton has been taken on as a maths professor and also has been taken on with a possible alternative thought in mind as well and that is to help him to put Eliza Bennett on to the straight and narrow and now after actually meeting her realises that he is already very attracted to the beautiful woman that is in one of his lessons.
When Eliza meets the new maths professor, she is surprised to discover that not only is he a Silver Fox but that she is also very attracted to him which is not the norm for her. When he discovers that she is a whole handful of trouble he accepts Master Dereks suggestion and becomes her full-time mentor, she discovers that he is a Daddy Dom and is feeling less sure but will never use her safe word no matter what!
The Interaction between both Eliza and Samuel is having a noticeable effect, even the teachers have noticed that she is changing and the fact that he is her Daddy Dom is actually helping her and he also knows that he has very deep feelings for his beautiful little girl and cannot wait to have her ubder his roof.
I guarantee that you will be blow away by this simply wonderful read and that you will love every moment of this amazingly written book and characters that simply blow you away. Once I started reading the book I actually found it impossible to put the book down until I discovered the outcome and guarantee other readers will feel the same.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

This was a really sweet story about Elizabeth Bennett or Eliza as she has known to her friends, but as Lizzie to her Daddy Samuel Eaton, who is also her maths professor at the Rawhide University. Eliza has trouble concentrating and doing her assignments for her classes, and she is on her last warning by Derek, and when Samuel is hired to be the professor of mathematics, Derek had given him some information about Eli Eliza, hoping that he would be interested in being her guardian. All the teachers had had issues with Eliza and when Samuel started at the University, he knew that she was his little girl even though Eliza didn’t admit that she was Little. I really enjoyed how Samuel understood Eliza and treated her differently than everyone else had.

Samuel treated her like she was an individual and not a bunch of mistakes, I enjoyed watching their relationship open up and grow, and Lizzie, making her debut as a Little. it was especially rewarding when she was officially diagnosed with ADHD and how her actions were a reflection of this diagnosis. I just love the way these conditions are shown to be normal in one aspect that the people who have them are not broken. They can have a normal functioning relationship with those around them, and also with further education achieve what they want to. It was especially good to see Samuel and Lizzie go forward towards their own happily ever after.

I was given an advanced copy of this book to read and I am reviewing with my honest and fair opinion.

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book. For me this was like double dipping, a new story in one of my favorite ongoing series (Rawhide Ranch) and one of my favorite authors (Stella Moore). The combination was sure to delight, and it delivered on all cylinders. Eliza was the consummate brat, she had no limits, accepted any and all discipline, yet she never could seem to find a fulfilling happiness. Samuel was the new math Professor that Derek brought in specifically to find a way to corral her naughtiness as she had become a distraction to the smooth running of the Ranch. Their confrontations were epic in both brattiness and surreal punishments. She was determined to find ways to annoy him at any cost (remember, no limits) and he was equally determined to push all of her buttons to find what her real honest limits, and needs, were. Talk about an irresistible force meeting an immovable object!! It turned out not all things were within Eliza’s ability to control, but that was OK as “Daddy” Samuel was the master not only of self-control but of control in general. Great character development, super-hot punishments, some very energetic sex and one of the hardest fought for HEA’s you can imagine. 5 Stars all around.

What an emotional experience this story was by Ms. Moore. Eliza struggles with self-worth was painful to read as she kept sabotaging herself. Eliza was a complex character with many layers, and she constantly tested Samuel’s boundaries, but he was up to the challenge of exposing Eliza’s insecurities helping her heal.

There is often a fine line between acting out and vulnerability, and Eliza was teetering on the edge before Professor Samuel Eaton became her guardian at Rawhide Ranch University. He could tap into her little despite Eliza’s denials as she hid behind outrageous behavior, which was close to seeing her expelled; talk about a brat. There were reasons why Eliza struggled, and I admired Samuel’s persistence and determination to guide and support Eliza. As her Guardian, Samuel could see beneath the mask to see the little girl in pain. He was not only her guardian but her perfect Daddy.

This was a well-written story with believable characters. The plot was well-developed and moved at a steady pace. This book was an excellent addition to this series. I did enjoy how Eliza kept pushing Samuel’s buttons but she had met her match. This was a feel-good book with an HEA.

Gosh, I didn’t think I could despise the main character more than I did with this book. Sam was so not a Daddy. No one should ever force someone to be something they aren’t. He literally forced Lizzie to be his little which was so beyond wrong. Derek was another JA in this book. I was honestly surprised she didn’t use her safe word and tell idiot Sam and Jack hole Derek where to go. Shame on both of them! I have worked in higher education for over 20 years and a professor does not hand out homework before the semester even starts. They also don’t quiz students on the first day. Students test into their appropriate level in Math. Lizzie should never have been forced to live with her so called guardian either especially since she only just met him. There was so much wrong with this book for me. It wasn’t even close to realistic. Sam belongs on an offender registry! If not you know where! Lizzie truly had to have been desperate to stay with him. She’d probably land in a home for abused women next living with Sam. If I could rate this negative stars I would.

When Samuel Eaton starts as the new math professor at the rawhide university the 1st person who comes to attention is the infamous Brat Eliza Preston.. Eliza starts out getting into trouble all the time at the university so Master Dereck decides to make Samuel Eliza Guardian what Eliza soon finds out is that he’s a daddy and she has declared over and over that she’s the furthest thing from a little.. But as Samuel sees that there is more to his Lizzy that nobody not even she’s seems to see is that she actually is a little. And with her daddy’s guidance, discipline and nurturing Liizzy being to realize in fact she truly Is a little. And along the way they come to understand why Eliza is the way she has been with receiving a diagnosis of having ADHD and she able to start medication to help her to focus and not forget things as much!! I love that Stella Moore brings this to the attention of the readers in this book.. I received as an ARC but purchased the E-book too.. I truly enjoyed this read and I hope others will too

What a wonderful beautiful inspiration read I very much enjoyed this book it’s very educational in some ways in my opinion. Plus very easy to relate to the characters I personally love how much learning about oneself, inner discovery, Lizzie is one feisty stubborn woman who has a lot of uncertainty that she hides in her bratty behavior. The journey this book brings is one that will have your heart all in for so many reasons as much as a love the playful, funny and other things along those lines. I personally saw this book on a more serious level it teaches things that a lot people both in lifestyle and out deal with the okay to have boundaries/ okay to say when one’s not comfortable with something. Not needing to feel bad about it every one is different I think this for sure a tear jerker but with so much amazing things. It’s full of strength, instant attraction, fun conflict, interesting moments, passionate, patient, understanding, secret desires, second chances, happy ending among other qualities that are loved in rawhide ranch stories:)

This story was a pure delight to read. Eliza has been at Rawhide Ranch for a couple of years and has a reputation as a huge brat!!! She can't help it! LOL When Samuel enters the picture, he figures out pretty quick that Eliza is his Little. But will she agree to it? I loved how patient he was with her during her "difficult" times and lord knows there are a lot of them. And you know, at first, I didn't care for her parents but at the end, I was happily laughing at what her mom told her. You understand when you get to that part. This story was one of the fun ones that I have enjoyed. Yes, Eliza struggles with her own self worth and other things but Samuel is the perfect Daddy for her, even Master Derek agrees!!!

Learning Little Lizzie, while the 2nd in the Littles of Rawhide Ranch series, can easily be read as a standalone. It's a book full of emotions and discoveries which made me smile and made me cry. Both Eliza and Sam are wonderful, very relatable characters and while I cringed right along with Eliza on some of the punishments, I was very happy with the results! A wonderful cast of side characters round out this engaging, entertaining read and the HEA is everything Sam and Eliza/Lizzie deserve. I hope that we'll catch up with them at some later point - maybe when Kylie gets her HEA?
I was lucky to have received an advanced copy from the author and am leaving this review voluntarily and honestly.

With Learning Little Lizzy, Stella Moore has given us a fantastic neurospicy Little and a Daddy who's willing to give her the support and guidance that she needs. I really love this series, and Ms. Moore is a favorite author of mine, but this one may just be my favorite because of the things she so openly discussed.

I absolutely loved these two! I'm married to a neurospicy person and found Lizzy so relatable. She's depicted in a real and honest way that I fell in love with. I also love that she didn't shy away from the fact that there are meds and how helpful, and not shameful, they can be. Samuel was everything she needed, even when she didn't think so.

The story is sweet, funny, and spicy, and an amazing addition to this series.

I love everything about Stella Moore's books. She writes female characters that are real and relatable, even if I'll never get to go to Rawhide Ranch for real. I think everyone has felt out of place or like their life is not quite the way they feel it should be. Lizzie is the so-called Untameable Brat, but she is so much more. Professor Samuel, assigned as her guardian, is the first person in her life to see past the brat and to really see HER. She is so afraid of creating boundaries and limits, but he helps her understand that it is not failing her Dom to say No. When she finally uses her safeword, it is a pivotable moment. I loved her growth as a person.

This book gave me all the feels. Lizzie is looking for something she's not getting. She refuses to admit she may have little tendencies and barely notes any hard limits for herself. She believes she is a failure in her parents eyes as she doesn't live up to their academic expectations. She won't use her safeword and be another type of failure to any Dom. When Master Derek assigns Samuel Eaton as her guardian, he soon realizes typical punishments won't work and begins pushing her limits. I loved how he wanted Lizzie to see for herself what an amazing woman, sub and little girl she could be. And the ending was chef's kiss. Great HEA.

This is a beautiful book that gave me lots of big happy feelings.
Eliza is a brat, always getting into trouble, loving the buzz that gives her. Everyone is frustrated. She flies close to the limit but never pushes it too far. Master Derek has a plan.
Samuel is new to Rawhide University, and on his first morning, he comes upon Eliza. She is already finding herself in trouble. He will have his hands full, just how he likes it.
This story covers delicate issues. They are handled well, with care and attention to detail.
The story fits lovingly in the Rawhide Ranch world, and many familiar characters are included.
I loved this story, I highly recommend it, the series and author.

Acceptance is Beautiful

I don’t think express how much I loved this story but I am going to try. The was that Sam truly sees Eliza like really sees her is just the most beautiful thing. He not only sees her but supports her journey of self-discovery even when he is dragging her through literally kicking and screaming. The thoughtful and loving way the author presents boundaries and limits was just so refreshing. There is also plenty of spicy content so great plot and great spice. I devoured it in one sitting. Love! Love!! Love!!!

Derek is up to his usual antics and fixing up another couple. This time its brat supreme Eliza and Daddy Samuel. I really enjoyed their relationship. How Samuel worked hard to build up Eliza and help her with living her best life. There are lots of spankings and other well deserved punishments, also some hot sexy scenes. This story is a bit of an emotional roller-coaster, so tissues will be needed. I received an advanced reader copy of this book and am leaving an honest review. This is a full fun and interesting story with great well done characters.

Another great Rawhide Ranch story by the amazing author Stella Moore. This is a HEA story of a girl named Eliza who seems to easily find trouble wherever she goes. She is easily distracted and has a hard time in school. She meets the professor Samuel Eaton who enjoys being a daddy to a brat. Eliza doesn't do ageplay or so she thinks. This story is a self discovery in the world of little's and daddies for this twosome. It also addresses the topic of ADHD which I appreciated. This is another must read story!

Learning Little Lizzie is the extremely well written, deeply emotional and deliciously spicy newest addition to the Rawhide Ranch Universe.
Written with wit, feeling and true understanding for the subject, along with relatable and highly authentic characters, Samuel and Eliza’s story is about so much more than a kinky romance. The main character is so well portrayed that her feelings of frustration, anger and confusion is palpable to the reader making this book a deeply touching and highly riveting read. It had me absolutely engrossed from beginning to end.

Such a delightful addition to the Littles of Rawhide Ranch series! So much to love about it! Eliza lives on the Ranch and goes to the college, but has trouble keeping focused. So when Professor Eaton, Samuel, comes into her life, her world is thrown off its axis!! I love how Samuel agrees to take her to task and show her how he can put her in her place. She’s a brat through and through, yet when it comes to Samuel, all bets are off. These two made me laugh and cry and I couldn’t help but fall in love with both of them. I really enjoyed their journey and didn’t want it so end!!!

Once again, the author writes a book that hits all the feels. I was so into the story I read it in one sitting. Eliza has had a difficult life. I was sure that she had an undiagnosed learning disability, and I'm glad that someone finally figured it out. I also loved how patient and understanding Samuel was. He was strict and made Eliza toe the line, but you could tell he was doing this for her. Great story, as always, Ms. Moore. I loved it!

This book will melt your heart - and your kindle 😏

I absolutely adored the dynamic between Lizzie and Samuel. He’s a strict professor, who has been tasked with taming the untamable brat. Lizzie is determined to show him and everyone that she doesn’t need to be told what to do - but she loves landing herself in trouble 😈

The heart of this book absolutely spoke to me, and I adored how the author handled a h with ADHD 🥰 Can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next!

Just wow! While it is hard to go wrong with a book set on Rawhide, this book hit all the marks for being right - good storyline, interesting characters, etc. I pretty much had to sit and finish it in one sitting (which I have found few books that hold that much interest lately). More and more authors seem to be writing about neurodivergent characters but this one is more about Lizzie making the discovery about herself.

I received an ARC and freely offer this review.

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

I was absolutely mesmerised reading this amazing book, the story was written well and the characters were sensational. This was a story was about Lizzie and Samuel, Derek the founder of Rawhide Ranch has put these two together, he seems to have a sixth sense when he puts people together. These two complement each other completely with listening to each other and also their needs.

I must admit that I don't always love a brat, but I've got to say that there was just something about Eliza that really appealed to me, and she snuck right into my heart very quickly. I also loved Samuel, and I thought these two were just perfect for each other. Lots of feelings to be enjoyed along with kink, heat and heart.

Eliza has been on the ranch for a while now and she has a reputation as being a brat she also refuses to believe she is a little. Well Master Derek and his record for matchmaking strikes again he appoints Samuel as her guardian and the moment Samuel sees her he knows she is his little he has been waiting for now he has to get her to trust and open up and her parents I didn't like at all

Neuro-sparkly & I'm here for it

I have yet to read a RR book I didn't enjoy. The professor-student trope is one I struggle with (for both personal & professional reasons, but I understand why so many love it). This is one exception to that. They make such a great couple.

I love that she goes home & talks things out with her parents.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed Eliza/Lizzie and Samuel’s story. It’s sweet, mildly angsty and a good addition to the series. Many books promise a brat, but the character is just misunderstood. In this case, Eliza doesn’t just brat because of underlying issues, but also because she truly enjoys doing it and the excitement of facing the consequences

This book is a must read

Lizzie and Samuel are such an amazing complex couple that had my heart squeezing with love and compassion for. I truly believe that there is a great deal of Lizzie in most of us and all we really need is a Samuel in our lives to truly bring out the best in us. Absolutely loved loved loved this story thank you so much for such a wonderful story.

Eliza is a true hellion, always getting into troubles and Master Derek finally appoint her a guardian. Samuel is a Daddy and professor and Eliza quickly realizes that he will not back down. Their journey together is incredible. Eliza is so misunderstood and Samuel was the only one to see it. I loved this books so much

I am in awe of this story. While not everything in Eliza's life lined up with mine, quite a bit did. Enough so that I was highly invested in the storyline. I could feel all the emotions; anger, pain, acceptance, and the absolute hurt that was flying off the pages. Having someone in your corner 24/7, no matter what, is hard to find. When you do, you hold on. I am voluntarily leaving a review.
