Bad Daddy

by K.L. Donn

From USA Today Bestselling Author KL Donn comes the Blue Collar Daddies series, where the men are older, the women younger, and everyone gets their very own Daddy.

I'm a bad man,
With a terrible temper.
I run this island like it's a prison.
No one can get to me.
Except her.
My shy, sweet girl.
Cece Brown is a wild card.
She smiles but then runs.
She laughs but then cries.
She pulls me closer, only to push me away.
Someone screwed with my girl, and once I'm done claiming her,
They're dead.

From the Bad Daddy is just that, BAD. Cece brings this dock worker turned crime boss to his knees but still fights him every step of the way. He’s got his work cut out for him, but who better to get the job done than a self-made man?

I have been waiting for Carter and Cece since Protector. One thing I love is that Della didn’t have a problem with Cece even though she was younger. The two actually became very close. Carter kept an eye on Cece knowing he’d have to step in to save her because her mom was up to no good; he just ended up having to do that sooner rather than later. This is a very short and easy read with all the perfect makings of an obsessive and possessive man

Beautiful!!

I’ve been so excited for Carter and Cece and I was not disappointed!!

Carter is sexy and badass, as well as caring and sweet!

Cece starts out being timid but Carter gives her the strength to find her confidence.

Carter and Cece, we knew they were going to explosive, but as always K.L Donn always adds a little extra to make her readers happy.

Loved this book looking forward to the next book in the Blue Collar Daddies series.

Carter has been patient and waiting for Cece. He's also got a temper so he's quick to defend her and prove why he's her Daddy.
This is a short and spicy read. This series is heating up and I can't wait for more!

I enjoyed reading this delightful novella by KL Donn! Carter and CeCe were a perfect match despite their age gap. I am enjoying this series so far and look forward to reading more from KL.

Great read!! Not as "Daddy" focused as the other books, but still a great read. And that ending....so sweet!

[Joyce · Rating 4 out of 5]

Better than Daughter's book. Definitely reRead.

[Lynne Garlick · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hell yes!!! Bad Daddy and I will be bad, or very good for Carter O’Neill!!! Well, if he didn’t have Cece that is! Lol!
Any who! What a read! Carter, who is not known for his patience, has had to practice that for the last year! But when news reaches him that Cece is under threat, he finally makes his move. God help anyone that stands in his way or thinks they can harm her in any way!
This was everything I needed and more!
