Ellie Dawson is innocence personified. She's young. She's elegant.
She's going to be mine.
Even if I turn her world upside down, I'm going to make it right again. With determination and obsession on my side, I won't walk away.
Even when she tries to run.
I'm no stranger to controversy, and I won't let others say I'm too old for her. I'm not going to let Ellie think I don't love her, either.
The truth is, I can't live without her. And I won't.
Ellie Dawson belongs to Lars Wolfe, and it's time the world knows.

Tropes ————- Age gap ( 20 years ) Police captain / victim of a criminal Single dad Son’s classmate Br33ding
Lars Wolfe is the police captain assigned to tear this young woman’s life apart by arresting her only living parent .. what he didn’t expect was to be utterly captivated by Ellie from their first interaction ❤️ he goes to bat to ensure her safety thru the entire ordeal … his son becomes her protector , setting the story straight when rumors start swirling but their love just blossoms ! It’s such a beautiful love story despite the violence , deceit and abuse that Ellie has had to endure !! Lars is her fresh new beginning
The emotion that KL Donn is able to pack into her books is beyond incredible.
Lars is a protector to the core and the moment he meets Ellie he knows that she needs someone in her corner. His position not only in her life, but life in general, makes that a little more difficult than he would hope for. But there is absolutely nothing that is going to stand between him and Ellie.
Ellie is innocence personified, it wafts off her in waves. The love and compassion that she has been desperately searching for all of her life is just a figment of her imagination at his point. She's content to walk through life alone. Until Lars opens her eyes to love, kindness, and above all else someone who is willing to protect her from the evils of the world.
Ellie and Lars are so sweet together. I love the way Lars loves Ellie so intensely, but doesn't allow it to overwhelm her. He gives her the opportunity to blossom into a sweet and sassy woman, finding her way in life - with him by her side helping to lead the way.
Ellie truly does grow through the course of this book. There is so much pain and tragedy that she has to fight through, and even as she struggles through it, you can see her truly finding herself. I loved that by the end of it he was able to just be her true, natural self. And that she found the safety that she was always searching for in Lars' arms.
This is the second book in the series, and while it had a little more plot than the first, it still stays true to what this series is all about—a quick, intensely steamy read! This isn’t a book you pick up for a deep storyline; it’s one you grab when you want heat, passion, and an irresistible connection between the MCs.
“I knew a relationship between us was wrong from the start. Lars would never want a girl like me.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) 🔥🔥🔥 (3/5)
Lars is pure devotion wrapped in protective strength. He’s sweet and loving toward Ellie, though he keeps things professional at first due to his job. But the moment she comes back into his life? He’s all in—there’s no way he’s letting her go again. The attraction and chemistry between them are absolutely electric, and Lars will stop at nothing to keep Ellie safe.
If you’re in the mood for a fast-paced, ultra-spicy romance with a possessive hero who knows exactly what he wants, this story delivers!
As much as I loved the first book in the series, Lars and Ellie became my favorite couple from the jump! Lars is so sweet and loving to Ellie, within the limits of his job to start. When she comes back into his life, he knows he cannot let her go again. The attraction, the chemistry between them is off the charts and Lars does everything he can to protect Ellie. While their age gap isn't ideal to some, they have the approval from Lars' son who also happens to be Ellie's friend. Lars is truly an alpha, protective and caring, guiding and supportive. Ellie looks at Lars like he hung the stars just for her and if he could have, he would have. Their story just ticked all my boxes for an incredible read and a definite reread on the regular. That is why I adore this author, she packs an emotional punch with all the spice you could want, simply amazing!
Hot! Hot! Hot! I read this book within a couple hours. Amazing, must read! Age gap romance. Right from the moment Lars lays eyes on Ellie, the chemistry starts. Ellie has had one heck of a life. Lars has come to take down her dad, where he meet Ellie. Why? Wait til you find out. Ellie is also friends with Lars son. It’s not til Ellie is with a foster family that one particular person in the family is not very nice. As she spends more and more time with Lars, it seems they heat up the sheets. Is it possible, even with the age gap, for Lars and Ellie to be together? Can Wllie move on with her life after such trauma. Oh yeah, let’s not forget the ex wife-she’s a piece of work. This book will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat!
Lars and Ellie… Still smutty, I wouldn't expect anything different with a title like that but it also had a nice love story feel to it. Lars is a police captain who is suppose to arrest Ellie's only living parent, but he fell for Ellie. As a protector, Lars feels he needs to watch over Ellie and nothing is going to get in his way... Ellie is innocence personified and all she yearns for is love.. But she's content with being a loner. This short story shows her growth as she navigates life and love with Lars and we watch her blossom in to a woman.. Ellie and Lars love is so intense but not overwhelming and it’s a great story. Also in a surprise twist, Ellis is friends with Lars' son, but instead of it being an issue, he actually encourages it.

Well you know what this book is about from the title 😳! We have here zaddy Lars police captain 😳 and his baby girl Ellie. Lars first met Ellie is when he arrest her dad, but of course he wants her, but with her age he Tried to hold back. But you know that didn’t work out when he comes to her rescue! Lars is one hot possessive and protective daddy for Ellie. But we do have some drama and a WHOLE lot of smut add into this book, but you shouldn’t be surprised with the all the smut from Ms Donn, bc Hello look at the title! 😘 happy reading y’all ❤️❤️
I really enjoyed this book. There was more to the storyline than the first book in the series. I expected this one to have just as much spice as the first one, but it had a lot less spice than the first one and more story, but it was still good and easy read. I was able to finish it within a couple of hours like I did the first one which I love short books that I can Read while I’m at work because all my days off it’s hard to get pages in. The book was well written it wasn’t confusing and I enjoyed the age gap
Oh. My. Heart!! This truly got me in the feels! I mean, don’t get me wrong it was hot af! Have you not seen the title?! But seriously from Lars first interaction with Ellie I knew this would be so much more. And it was! Ellie is truly in a living nightmare with very few people she can trust, but from the get-go Lars makes her feel safe. And with what is going on, that means the world. I am not giving any spoilers but you really need to read this!! My heart is full!
This series is amazing! I can’t wait for the next one! You get your OTTP male lead and your female lead that needs the hero. K,L. Takes all our favorite acronyms and gives us our own taste of the fantasy. You can’t go wrong with this them. Please adhere to the TW. You will see mention of previous parental child ǎbúse, age gap, epilogue pregnancy and talk of serial unaliving off page. There is male lead adjacent OW drama but the male lead does not stray.
I loved this book. Age is just a number. Ellie’s life has been anything but easy since her mother’s death and it all changes when she meets Lars, the handsome older cop that just knocked on her door. This book has some serious feels…sweet and innocent girl paired with aged to perfection alpha male. Family drama and sweet relationships are what you’ll find inside this awesome book. Age gap, daddy kink, and so much more!
When going to search a house, police captain Lars Wolfe didn't expect to fall head overs heels to sweet Ellie when she opened the door! Insta love, Insta lust from the get go. Both Lars and Ellie feeling the connection. Lars gives Ellie the love she craves and she gives him everything! The spice was just right and paired with a great story it was an enjoyable short read. Love the two epilogues looking into the future of their life.
Holy hotness,dang this was a very very good book! Age gap ✔️ Sexy✔️ Great story ✔️ Lars Possessive and domineering ✔️ caring and definitely an alpha,✔️ Ellie Sweet, Young and had such a hard time. She definitely needs a daddy 🔥 . In all seriousness this book might be sexy but it's still has a great story with a lot of character. Very well written
This book touches on a number of taboo situations. There are some very realistic relationships with some twisted people. There is growth, truths and some things that are just out of your control. How would most people thrive not just survive? Read to see how the hurdles are cleared in this book.
This short read is explosive. Daddy Lars is a formidable character and Ellie is strength personified. Loved that Damon was so supportive, and it does not matter who approves, it's not about them, its about two people in love. Plot, plan and take. Absolutely perfect.
The story was better than the first one in my opinion. The scenes were definitely hot, and they’re not fucking in every chapter which is nice. I love that the son was very supportive with the MCs relationship; he’s even the one who’s pushing them to be together. I enjoyed reading this, so 4 stars!
This one was good. Detective falls for a girl who he shouldn't because she is 20 years younger than him and his sons friend but he doesn't let that stop him and she feels the same way about him. This one also has Daddy kink in it.

Yikes. I didn’t think it could be worse than book one but I paid for them so I read book two hoping for … improvement? Nope. Poorly written. Not even sure it was edited. Sooo unbelievable I could cry. Annoyed I read all of it.
Very steamy! There are definitely some dark undertones to the story, but the actual romance is honestly very sweet - and kinda dirty and very steamy! Exactly how a book with this title should be! Lars and Ellie are definitely meant to be.
I really don't know why I finished this book in the first place because I find the daddy kink to be a bit gross. With that said, I did enjoy the actual plot itself. It would've made a great novel without the huge age gap and daddy kink.
Oh my gosh this book will leave me with a book hangover for a while ... 🥵 I couldn't put it down another must read steamy book by one of our favourite authors KL Donn 🫠💜
This spicy age gap romance is a quick read. Ellie Dawson has not had it easy and after her officer Lars Wolfe shows up he's about to change it all! If you like super steamy books, this is for you!
I thought this book was really good. I loved it so much I couldn't put it down. I don't know how this author does it but she continues to blow me away.
