Leland : Daddies Ink Book 1
Everything about Leland West makes me want to scream. I just don’t know if it’s with anger… or pleasure.
I’m so damn angry.
Some days, it seems like that’s all I can feel. Like all I am, right down to my bones, is the fury that lives inside me.
But it’s not. There’s another part of me, a part I’ve never been able to set free. A Little girl, longing for a Daddy, for all the care and protection I never had growing up.
Leland sees both. All the anger and that scared Little girl. His dark eyes seem to look straight into my very soul.
And I can’t decide if I’m furious at him for seeing me so clearly… or terrified of the day he might stop looking altogether.

this book completely stole my heart! It's emotional, raw and so deeply satisfying.
Rogue is a heroine I won't soon forget, she's carrying a heavy past that's left her angry, isolated and struggling to control her temper. When her emotions overwhelm her, she pushes everyone away, terrified of losing what little she has left.
Enter Leland, a man with endless patience and a heart full of compassion. He sees past Rogue's sharp edges to the hurting woman underneath, and he's determined to help her heal. And can we talk about how incredibly sweet he was about her boundaries? Rogue couldn't handle physical intimacy after everything she'd been through and Leland never once pressured her. Not a mention, not a hit that he would want it. Just pure, unwavering support. That man is a SAINT.
Their dynamic is everything, tense yet tender, real yet hopeful. I loved watching Rogue slowly learn to trust again and Leland's gentle persistence had me swooning.

Boo
I loved this book. It is a very emotional and rewarding read.
Rouge has a dark past. She isn't handling it well. Her temper gets the best of her as her emotions run rampant. She feels alone and angry a lot.
When her tenor gets the best of her, she fears she will lose everything she holds dear.
Leland is focused on helping Rouge however he can. What he wants is to hold her close and help quell her fury. But Rogue is prickly, quick to jump straight in, and has a past, which means he must bide his time. But maybe a compromise can help them both satisfy their needs. And help Rouge start to recover from her past.
I loved this story. I love the character dynamics and the authors attention to detail.
This is a happy world I would love to live in.
I highly recommend this book and author.
I look forward to more in the series.

So many spelling mistakes. Is her name Rogue or Rouge? I doubt anybody suddenly gets over their anger issues following one daddy intervention. It felt like half the buildup story was missing and then this was a rushed effort to get them together. Which is a shame. Because it had some strong themes and I do love a daddy story.

Rouge & Leland
I enjoyed this new series starter from Piper. It again reminded me why I grab her books and devour them: she uses life situations, personal histories/trauma that I can honestly say I've never read before.
I also appreciate that the author has lived experiences with a lot of the issues she writes about, and it really does pull at all my heart strings.
Loved the tie ins to her previous series and books with the side characters. Appreciate the world building she's doing with her books.

Piper Strickland has become a favorite author of mine. I love the fact that her characters deal with everyday issues like depression and anxiety! Rouge has had a tough life and it's been rough on her but Leland has taken a shining to her and wants to help her out. I loved how patient he was with her and how he explained everything to her. Will this relationship work or will Rouge continue to have issues? Ms. Strickland is so good at writing these stories so I will always recommend her to anyone who asks.

Cute & heartfelt
Rouge is a fascinating character. She is trying so hard to work through considerable challenges. My heart broke for her history. She is so deserving of her happy ending. Leland is a great Daddy & they make a cute couple.
One thing that did frustrate me was a few mistakes such as seeing the wrong name ( Axel is her Daddy, not Oynx). That's par for the course with Kindle, though.

Love this author
Piper Strickland is already in my top 5 favourite Authors!
Every book so far has just been better than the last 😍
The emotions and reactions of the characters are so authentic that i truly felt it in my bones. I wish it was a longer book. Rouge really could have a follow up story 🤔😉
I loved this story and can't wait for the next

I had a hard time with this one
I just couldn't get into this book the way I hoped I had a hard time I feel like she needed professional therapy not a daddy for how serious her Trauma was and it didn't have a realistic approach to it I just think there were bigger concerns than having a DDLG dynamic

Aww Leland!
I absolutely adore Piper and her work.
Poor Rouge has been through so much hardship in her life. Leland is the perfect amount of stern and empathy that will help Rouge heal her sharp edges.
Great story and quick read.

cute and emotional
Good story tied up some loose ends with the sisters. Daddy was so informed and knew what to do for his little. I never discuss the story so you have the joy for your self.

A very cute ddlg story. I really enjoyed this book and how the two main characters cared for each other. Rogue is one bad ass little girl, who needs a daddy that will love her and help her getting better. Leland is a sweet daddy, who is in love with Rogue and just wanna see her being her best self
