Boone: An Ex Military Age Gap Daddy Dom Cowboy Romance

by Cami Carlisle

Last time he chose her over his mission. Now she's the only mission that matters.

Boone Daniels had made a choice. He could've either taken out the target of his mission, Nico Midnight or rescued the Little prisoner he'd stumbled across. The prisoner whose lavender eyes had claimed his heart.

Tildi Lewis recognized Boone's sacrifice. And that one day, he'd realize he'd made the wrong choice. But if she could stay out of trouble, maybe she wouldn't lose her new home, new friends and family, and most of all, the new Daddy of her dreams.

But when Midnight follows them to Wild River Ranch, Tildi's future depends on Boone's ability to defeat the man bent on destroying them both.

What a fantastic story! After reading Wild River Daddy, I needed more of Boone and Tildi! So when I heard about this story, I just knew it would be epic, and it certainly was! A definite 5 plus star read for me! My heart is so full of love for these characters. The depths of protection that Boone will go to for Tildi, completely melted my heart. She is such a breath of fresh air, so loyal, so loving and the perfect Little girl for Boone. When he brings her into his world and to his Ranch, I just knew she found her forever home. I thoroughly enjoyed their witty banter so much I literally laughed out loud. And their chemistry? So smoking hot I swear I saw flames coming off the pages of my Kindle. Words cannot express how much everyone needs to read this book. It is delightful, sexy, heartwarming and oh so perfect.

Boone picks up where Wild River Daddy left off and continues Boone and Tildi’s romance. While it could be read as a standalone, reading the prequel gives backstory that makes Boone more enjoyable.

Now that she has been rescued, Tildi is ready to move forward with her life with Boone while meeting his family at their ranch. But, she knows that no one wants to be burdened, so she’s determined to cause as little trouble and work as possible.

Having made the decision to save Tildi rather than take out Nico Midnight, Boone knows more trouble could be headed their way and is determined to make sure Tildi is safe while also making sure she is loved while nurturing her little side. But, that isn’t always easy when Tildi’s past has her keeping secrets so she isn’t seen as too much work to have around.

Boone was action packed, but also filled with a daddy dom dynamic and lots of little girl shenanigans. It was fast paced, but had enough romance and little mischief to make it a well balanced read. I loved watching Tildi meet Boone’s family and start to learn the ropes of ranch life while exploring her little girl dynamic. Her past has her questioning her worth at every turn, and I loved watching literally everyone in Boone’s life show her with actions just how wrong she is! Boone is loving, yet strict and all alpha and exactly what Tildi needs in her life!

I’m excited to see the other brothers in Boone’s family find their littles and for his sister Kenzie to find her daddy. And, thanks to some hints dropped by Cami, I think we may know exactly who that will be in a few books down the road!!!!! (Yep, I’m super excited for that to play out!)

4 stars for this fast paced Daddy Dom, little girl romantic suspense. I look forward to seeing glimpses of Boone and Tildi as the rest of the series continues.

A Thrilling and Heartfelt Must-Read!

Boone by Cami Carlyle is an absolute gem—a thrilling blend of action, romance, and deep emotional connection that will keep you turning pages late into the night! Boone Daniels is the ultimate protector, a man who chooses love over duty when he saves Tildi Lewis instead of completing his mission in the first installment, Wild River Daddy. Their continuing journey is one of healing, trust, and undeniable chemistry, set against the backdrop of the beautiful yet dangerous Wild River Ranch.

Tildi is a Little heroine you can’t help but root for—her resilience and longing for a place to belong make her story all the more touching. Boone, the rugged and protective Daddy, is the perfect balance of strength and tenderness. Their relationship is beautifully written, filled with moments that tug at the heartstrings while also delivering plenty of tension and excitement and still finding room for the hilarious hyjinx Cami Carlyle’s Little characters are known for. The bond that quickly develops between Tildi and Kenzie is so sweet!

And just when you think they’ve found peace, the villainous Nico Midnight reemerges, bringing with him a storm of danger and suspense. The stakes are high, the action is intense, and the romance only deepens as Boone fights to protect the woman who’s become his entire world.

Cami Carlyle delivers a captivating story that masterfully blends heart-pounding suspense with a deeply emotional romance. If you love protective heroes, strong yet vulnerable heroines, and a story that will leave you breathless, Boone is an absolute must-read!

Definitely you should read _Wild River Daddy_ first -- that sets up the characters and the situation.

I have mixed feelings on this book. On the one hand, the dynamic between Boone and Tildi was great. He is quite the model Daddy -- correcting and loving and protective and all that. The punishment scenes were excellent. The sex was great.

The family atmosphere at the ranch was absolutely heartwarming and the vistas were, well, Wyoming. Gorgeous. There was plenty of setup for the next books and a VERY strong set of hints about the Daddy for Boone's little sister Kenzie (and, yeah, that will be one hell of a story).

But...

First, the action sequences have some real problems in terms of the rationale and the effectiveness of the gunfire. It is REALLY hard to get an accurate shot off from a helicopter, for instance. The scope is not the limiting issue. A sidebar for a romance writer, I know. But some of us actually think about these things.

More importantly, the entire dynamic is dubious ethically. Tildi was in NO position to be entering into a sexual relationship or a DDlg relationship after a year in captivity. She desperately needed therapy instead or first. Yeah, I know, fiction. But yeesh.

We got to meet Tildi and Boone in Wild River Daddy but now we get the rest of the story. I love these characters and how Boone is going to Daddy his little girl while still building her up and telling her every day just why he loves her. Tildi has had a difficult life, growing up with the General and then being in captivity for a year. She loves Boone, but she's constantly afraid of doing something wrong, being too much, causing problems that would make him send her away. She loves his ranch and his family and slowly begins to realize this is what a real home and family are. These two are great together and the author has given us some amazing secondary characters as well. I loved how at the end Boone literally passed on to Sev his need for vengeance. And the HEA is chef's kiss.

Boone is the second book of the Wild River Ranch series and I recommend that you read the first book so you have more of n understanding of this book. I’m so glad we get more of Tildi and Boone after the first book…this one is a continuation of their story. Even though Boone has rescued Tildi she is still in danger. Boone not only helps keep her safe but he also helps her learn to love and trust herself. I loved how much he loved her and the ways he showed his love to her. The suspense and spice were both top notch and I can’t wait for more of this series!

While this can be read as a standalone, I really think you should read Wild River Daddy first. This book continues Boone and Tildi's story. I loved it so much! Tildi wants to not be a burden to anyone but Boone knows she needs protection. The threat is still very real but the banter between them was awesome. This book had action, moments of laughter and was "steamy". And the side characters were all great. Just waiting to see who gets the next book! So good, so sweet and if you love DD/lg, you really need to pick this book up!!!

Wonderful story!

I loved reading the story of what happened to Breezy's older sister. The General had made both of their lives miserable, and instead of following his plan for her to become an attorney, and follow him into politics, she changed her name, got scholarships and changed her subjects. Being rescued by Boone opened a new world for her and she even gets to reunite with her sister for a few weeks. Tiles is a wild Card, but she's great for the ranches website, and PR . Great HEA ending. Loved the free bonus story. Trish. A.

[Nessa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wild River Daddy for sure! Boone is a continuation of Wild River Daddies, and gives the background of how Boone and Tildi met. After the ordeal Tildi went through, Boone shows her how to not doubt herself, what receiving love looks and feels like, and also that he'll always protect her.

I enjoyed this story, and highly recommend you read Wild River Daddies!

Please note that I did receive an ARC of this book and the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

[Terrin Thomas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fast-paced and addictive, this second book in the series cranks up both the action and the heat. The blend of danger, emotional tension, and kink is well balanced, with the smut and spanking woven seamlessly into the plot rather than feeling like filler. The stakes are higher, the connection between the characters deepens, and the story never slows down. A strong follow-up that left me more than ready for the next book.

[Brianna Hooper · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved the continuation of Boone and Tildi's story. Boone is such a strong and loving Daddy and he truly loves Little Tildi. I love these two and it is obvious that she needs his firm and loving support. You can read this as a stand alone but Wild River Daddy does share how they met. Cami is a great author and I can't wait to hear what happens next in the series.

[Tricia Grogan · Rating 5 out of 5]

great sequel

This book is the second part of Wild River Ranch. I loved the first one and waited “patiently “ for this book. It was worth waiting for and I cannot wait to learn more about this wonderful family and ranch.
The love story continues with Booth and Tildi getting to know each other. I love seeing their relationship grow.

This book was great. I love the characters. The way it picked up right where Wild River Daddy left off was fantastic. I am so looking forward to getting to know the brothers and sister better. And hopefully live interests!!💕The writing was engaging and it was fun to see the difference in Tildis thought processes depending on where her brain was. Loved it! I want the next one already!

AWESOME

Boy i am so glad to have found Cami Carlisle books. Boone and Tildi was captivating from book one but this one shows the reader why Tildi has a hard time getting out of her head and why Boone loves her so much. I highly recommend this book and more of the Daddie series. Action packed, funny and HEA.

[Lisa Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

After reading Wild River Daddy I couldnt wait for more Boone and Tildi and it was perfection. I loved these two so much. Boone was perfect he is the perfect daddy with patience and understanding for his little girl Tildi who loved so hard and caring everyone came first except her. Tildi had a hard life and to adjust was challenging for her but Boone never ever gave up their chemistry was amazing.

There's danger, spanks, laughter, family and I loved it all. It made my heart so full to see these two connect. Wonderful story to get lost in.

[Shannon Bolton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow this was a continuation of Tildii and Boones story.Tildi is still in danger so Boone is still protecting her. Tildii has self esteem issues and Boone was so great anticipating her needs. He was so patient knew just when punishment was needed and when to give extra cuddles. This continuation was so much more than I expected. Will reread this one often it is a keeper. Sheer perfection!!!!!.

[Dee H · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG, I loved this book. Boone is a super caring, supportive, strict but totally loving Daddy Dom who is exactly what Tildi (Matilda) needs in her life, after her scary and horrifying past.
Boone will do whatever he needs to do to protect his Little girl, whether she likes it or not.
Tildi; doesn't believe she is worthy because of her past but Boone is up for the job of convincing her differently. This story has drama, passion, total support for a loved one and just all the loving good feels you need in a read.
This book is so well written that you almost live it as you read.
Thankyou Ms Carlisle for this fabulous read.

Cami Carlisle returns to the Wild River Ranch with the second installment, "Boone," a story that dives deeper into the lives of its intriguing characters. While this is part of a series, "Boone" stands alone as a captivating romance with its compelling arc, though readers familiar with the first book, "Wild River Daddy," may appreciate the continued development of the ranch's close-knit community.
In "Boone," the focus is on Boone Daniels, a man whose past in security has made him fiercely protective and somewhat emotionally guarded. His world is turned upside down by Tildi Lewis, a "Little" who unexpectedly finds herself under his care. Cami expertly navigates the delicate dynamic between Boone and Tildi. Boone grapples with his protective instincts and a burgeoning tenderness he didn't anticipate, while Tildi, despite her past trauma, radiates a hopeful innocence that slowly chips away at Boone's hardened exterior.
Cami Carlisle's writing is engaging, pulling the reader into the emotional landscape of both Boone and Tildi. The internal conflicts Boone faces as he tries to reconcile his past with his growing feelings for Tildi are particularly well-portrayed. Tildi's journey towards healing and finding a safe space is equally heartwarming. Cami creates a believable and sweet connection between them, making their eventual romance feel earned and satisfying.
While the daddy/little dynamic is a central theme, Cami ensures it's handled with sensitivity and focuses on the emotional connection and care between the characters. It's a relationship built on trust and understanding, rather than solely on power dynamics.
The setting of Wild River Ranch continues to be a charming backdrop, adding a touch of rural warmth to the story. The secondary characters, introduced in the first book, are present but don't overshadow Boone and Tildi's story. They add to the sense of community and hint at further interesting tales to come.
"Boone" is a sweet and tender romance that explores themes of trust, healing, and finding love in unexpected places. Readers who enjoy stories with protective heroes, vulnerable heroines, and a focus on emotional connection will find themselves drawn into Boone and Tildi's journey. While it might not appeal to all readers due to its specific themes, those who appreciate the daddy/little dynamic will likely find "Boone" a heartwarming and enjoyable read.
And keep your eyes out at the end for a very happy surprise for Tildi.
