[Baba · Rating 1 out of 5]

1 star.*Review posted September 1, 2013

The different stages of my state of mind while reading Baby Girl (not necessarily in this order). It's self-explanatory.











I'll be ruthlessly candid, coz I have nothing positive to say about Baby Girl.

In a nutshell
Here we go again! Erik is buying a new BMW (yes, the man is kinda loaded in every sense of the word and he enjoys buying new cars on a regular cycle), when he meets the oh-so natural beauty Kelli who is the daughter of the car shop owner. One intent look and Erik knows what he wants. Erik is determined to break Kelli's spirit. He is not arrogant, he is just confident and knows his capacities and abilities. Baba: As if!

"(…)I intend to ruin you. Provide you with feelings and levels of satisfaction that you have never seen, and will never, in my absence, see again. This level of satisfaction, this degree of feeling…it will ruin you. Ruin you from ever being satisfied by another man the way I satisfy you. Once you realize that you're ruined, I will own you."

Yes, everything's under control. Erik has never been in a relationship. He claims he is not a man-whore since he is very selective on who he is seeing fucking. To be honest, the talk about breaking her spirit and ruining her was kinda OTT. Well, I guess when your opposite is such an immature, needy and susceptible girl then it's a piece of cake after all.

I love great dirty talk but what I got here was a turn off. Also, I really get it that you can call each other weird names during a play scene. However, Erik calling Kelli baby girl all the time creeped the hell outta me.

When Kelli was 15 and realized that she had no gag reflex, she started to suck cock as often as possible and she loved it. So, when Kelli met Erik she was pretty much awe-struck. She wanted to please him all the time and she hung on his every word. She thought that Erik was a dream come true. In fact, he was larger than life. From her perspective that might have been true, but mine differs greatly.

Let me summarize. I think that Kelli is a shallow slut and a dumb twat. And Erik came across as a pompous ass with a huge ego. As I see it, he is also a slimy creep.

And here comes an absolutely needless self-advertisement that annoyed me tremendously.

"What are you reading?" I asked. I always liked knowing what types of books people read. It told a lot about them.
"Broken People. It's a freaking masterpiece. This is the third time I have read it. I'm highlighting quotes in it," she responded as she powered the Kindle on.
"Haven't heard of it," I said as I reached into my pocket for my keys.
"You have to read it, it's the most powerful, moving, and inspiring book I have ever read. (…)"
(…)
"Read the book, Erik. And I will be ready," she responded.
"Broken People got it. Author?"
"Scott Hildreth," she responded.

In this context it's pretentious and a no go.

Erik indulging himself in playing psychologist (oops, sorry, he is a bike-riding "qualified" shrink) and philosopher regarding the aspects of upbringing, sexuality, relationships and love did not sit well with me, because his behavior came across as patronizing, condescending and unappealing. BTW, Oepidus complex is called Oedipus complex. I guess the proofreader took a little break on a regular basis. I find that incredibly embarrassing.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Erik is so full of himself, it's not even healthy anymore. He loves verbal self-masturbation. Instant gratification guaranteed.

The writing felt very stilted. It was also repetitive because certain things are mentioned several times (their upbringing and the consequences thereof, issues with their parents, relationships and love). Besides, I couldn't for the life of me connect with the characters. I'll be honest, even a simple fuck must evoke some kind of emotion in me, otherwise a story won't hold my interest. With that said, it is very unfortunate that not even the sex resonated with me because that's the heart of an erotic story after all.

(…)Working the lotion up my thighs, I flexed my butt muscles as I rubbed in the lotion. Hard as a rock. My ass felt so good in my hands. I got another dab of lotion from the bottle, and slid both my hands in between my cheeks, allowing my pinky fingers to slide against my pussy. I loved the smell of lotions and soaps, and this lotion from Bed Bath and Beyond almost brought me to climax. I could remember what public places had the best soap, based on the smell. I always smelled my hands after I washed them in public.

Uh-huh, must be a very special lotion. There is a lot of information that didn't interest me in the least.

Baby Girl is in dire need of better proofreading! I must say it was irritating to no end, even appalling how many mistakes I have found. And I'm not even a native English speaker. Here are some samples. Keep in mind there are many more:

SITUATION AS PER AUGUST 30, 2013

I QUOTE (FROM THE BLURB)
My novel, Broken People stands as a testament that I can produce a masterpiece. Critical acclaim from around the world. IN TWO MONTHS. It was, and remains controversial. Baby Girl is also a masterpiece. It is, however, real.

A masterpiece riddled with plenty of errors. It's incredibly shoddy!

I'm actually pretty sure that the blurb has been edited since I started reading the book. I can't remember that I have read such an extensive blurb.


They are horny all the time. The day I don't have to hear cum for me anymore cannot come soon enough.

"Listen to me, baby girl. Listen. Cum on me. Cum all over my cock. Cum for me, baby girl. I want you to cum. Cum for me," he whispered into my ear as he continued to push himself deeper inside of me.

I never liked the heroine in the first place. BUT. When this was on her mind... Kids--I fucking hate kids ... I was so done with her. It's all right to not want kids. You may say you don't like kids in general. But you don't say (or think) I fucking hate kids.



Erik said: "(…)No lying. No trying to tell me what I want to hear. I can't stand kids. Kids make my skin crawl. The thought of children makes me ill."

"Okay, I am sorry. I lied. I hate kids too. They make me sick, and that will never change," I said, relieved. (Kelli)

Kelli, here comes a friendly advice for free. Oh, and Erik, you should strain your ears too coz you kinda make me ill as well.
Hatred is a very strong word and before you open your mouth to spill your stupid remarks you should think twice. You're a dumb little slut.
Yeah, baby girl, you still have a lot to learn; you are immature. Two people loved each other enough to procreate you. You were a beloved baby a long time ago and I doubt that your parents thought or said that they fucking hate kids!?!
Kids are our future. Kids are future payers of our tax-financed pension system, at least that's the case where I'm living. I feel bad for saying that because kids are so much more. They are love, life and happiness yet at the same time I know they mean a lot of responsibility and they are the source of more than a few sorrows and problems. Even though they are a daily challenge, I believe they are so worth it. Let's do this the other way round. Is it all right when I say I fucking hate you???

Here is another "nice" sample. They were talking about the young clerk:

"Do you know her?" Erik asked.
"No, I just hate high school girls," I said, now wondering how Erik might respond.
"So do I, baby girl, so do I."

Baba: Yeah, Erik, it's no biggie after all. *facepalm*

Erik and Kelli are having sex in a clothes shop and then our heroine (I use the term heroine only loosely) has the glorious idea to wipe off the cum with a pair of jeans. Guess what? She took the jeans to the clerk and said:

"These fit funny," I said, handing her the dirty jeans I was holding in my hand. "So, you may want to check them for correct sizing."

GROSS. Hmm…I wonder why I feel so grossed out...



Aaaaand they bought a clean pair of jeans.

Who's the bitch, huh?

"Who owns you, baby girl? Who fucking owns you?" he almost screamed.
"Oh God, you do. You own me. You."
"Don't forget it, do you hear me?" he said in a loud, stern tone.
"Yes, I am yours. You own me," I responded. I loved this.

Yep, these two deserve each other. I wholeheartedly agree.


This was so disappointing. Not Erik, but me. I was so disappointed in myself that I didn't make him cum that day in the car. How stupid am I? (…)

Kelli, I couldn't care less if you made him cum or not but I have to agree. You are stupid and insecure with a couple of daddy issues.


Amazing trains of thought…

Who would have him and not spend every moment of every day wanting to fuck him? Who would not be fucking him every moment that he is around? I want to fuck him a lot more than he wants to fuck me. I wish he fucked me all the time. In the house, in the elevator, in the car, in the parking garage, in the parking lot, at the store. I love fucking him.
Bobby pins or no bobby pins?
Fat. I am so fat. Erik's a doctor, he will know if they can put my thigh fat into my butt. I bet they can.
Time. 6.55.
No bobby pins, he can't run his fingers through my hair when I have in bobby pins.

As a little reminder…life in general has more to offer than fucking your brains out.
Oh, and Kelli, Erik is NOT a plastic surgeon. But I'm sure he would explain the psychological effects of the surgery to your full satisfaction.


Another gem…

I found myself, when talking to him, to be more conscious of my words, more conscious of how I said things. Not necessarily what I was saying, but how I said it. He was intelligent, very intelligent, but he did not act like it (Baba: he didn't come across as such an intelligent man, more like someone who loved verbal self-masturbation; sorry for the repeat). He dressed like a younger guy, rode a motorcycle, and tried to speak like he was just one of many other men in this city. By just naturally being Erik, he reeked of his intelligence. (Baba: Hell yes, I can smell his intelligence. Sorry for being sarcastic). I felt like such an idiot around him (not I, that was Kelli speaking). I tried to choose my words carefully not to embarrass him or me (Baba: Uh-huh, I saw what a failure you are, Kelli). This was so unlike me. I was almost always the smartest person in the room (Baba: Seriously?), and always the smartest girl (Baba: maybe if your are the only girl in the world). Around him, I felt so small, so vulnerable. *insert major eye roll moment*

Kelli…Kelli…you conceited…um…I better stop now.


Towards the end of the story we have a somewhat melodramatic and very awkward sob party provided by Kelli. She lost her ability to speak.

"Think with your head, baby girl, not your heart."
I extended my arm toward him, my fist clenched. My arm was shaking, I was crying, and trying to catch my breath. I held my arm out as flat as I could, and opened my index finger and pointed at Erik.
"Me?" he asked.
I nodded.
"You want me?"
I nodded again, sobbing. Over and over I nodded, my finger pointing to Erik.
"Your future, your life, your acceptance to Columbia, your father, his wishes, the dealership," he paused, and looked into my eyes.
"And you want me?"
I leaned toward him, touched my finger to his chest and pressed hard, sobbing and nodding my head.



Overall Baby Girl was a huge disappointment and a failure all along the line. I love erotica books in general and great BDSM books in particular. I must say, however, that Baby Girl is far from being a fabulous read. Therefore I can't recommend it.

Again, this is my opinion and my review reflects my thoughts and feelings. Don't let my opinion put you off. Maybe it's just me and not the book. Good luck and happy reading!


Warning
Baby Girl contains explicit sex and language, incl. sex in public and voyeurism.
I wouldn't classify this book as BDSM though. A couple of yes, sirs and a slap on the ass hardly qualify as BDSM.
Since Baby Girl is the first book in a series I *suppose* the BDSM elements will be much more present in the sequels.


P.S. The MCs have had many sexual partners over the years. I am beyond amazed that these two did not find it necessary to talk about STDs, and it goes without saying that they didn't use condoms either.

[Christy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Baby Girl is the story of Erik and Kelli. Two people who want similar things in life. Erik is thirty six years old, a biker covered in tattoos, a psychologist, and a dominant. He doesn’t do long term relationships, but he lets it be known upfront. Kelli is fifteen years his junior. She is a recent college graduate, her father owns a BMW dealership that he plans on her taking over in the near future. She also doesn’t do relationships. Just sex. And lots of it. When they meet, it is lust at first sight. They spend time together, but their relationship is purely sexual. They are both okay with that, in fact, that is what they both prefer.

This is not your typical romance... but the more time Erik and Kelli spend together, the more their ideas about love and relationships start to change. Could Kelli be different from all the other woman Erik has been with? He feels different with her. For the fist time, he misses someone when they aren’t with him. It’s a big deal. And for the first time, Kelli finds her self wanting to be with a man, please him, and not just sexually. Neither of them have been in a normal relationship, so they have a long journey ahead of them if they want to make this work.

“Looking beyond life’s imperfections allows one to be able to find happiness. Life is not perfect, ever. For me, remembering that life is flawed, people are flawed, and therefore relationships are flawed, allows me to look at the flaws and imperfections as part of life itself. A perfect life includes all of the flaws associated with what and who you surround yourself with. My life and my means of living it are no exception. I was, as all people are, flawed. I accepted myself as being flawed no differently than I accepted others as being so.”

It seems that people are either loving or hating this book... I for one, am right down the middle. This is just my honest opinion. For those of you that loved it, I think thats awesome! For those that hated it, I appreciate your opinions and honest reviews. For me, its easy to write a review on a book I hated or loved. It is hardest (for me) to write a review on one that is right down the middle so bear with me. I didn’t hate it, there were things I liked, but I also can’t say I loved it. There were some things that just didn’t work for me.

(What didn’t work for me)
Personally, I couldn’t make a connection to either one of the main characters at first. It took me a bit to connect with and like Erik, but I did. It took me even longer to warm up to Kelli, but once again, I did. As overconfident/cocky as Erik seemed in the beginning, he really grew on me. I ended up liking him a lot by the end of the book. There are also a few editing issues... I try not to judge too harshly on that, especially with self published books, but I know it really bothers some people so I thought I’d throw it in there. Then there is the kids issue... I have absolutely no problem with people not wanting kids. I think as long as they are upfront about it with their partners, it’s all good. It works for a lot of people, especially if they are on the same page with that. But to say you hate kids in general? I guess some people do, but for some reason it just rubbed me the wrong way. It didn’t effect my rating or anything, just thought I’d throw it in there.

(What I liked)
There were some really hot sex scenes. So yeah, thats always a positive. My personal favorite... the dressing room at Buckle. I know above I said I didn’t connect to the characters at first, and thats true, but Erik was a like for me. By the end of the book, I can say I am a fan of his. He ended up being a really cool and real guy. He was also honest and I appreciate that. I also liked Teddy and Heather, the little bit we got of them. I enjoyed the chapter from Gene’s pov. I feel it gave us a lot of insight to Kelli’s past and there are some things in there I hope get addressed in the second book.

As I said, there were things I didn’t love about this book, but overall, I did enjoy reading it. I will give book two a chance, I think the story has potential and I want to see what happens next with these two characters.

WARNING: sexual content of this book is descriptive and not watered down. If you aren't comfortable with descriptive raw, true to life descriptions of a D/s relationship, do not proceed with reading this book.

This book is real, raw, and true-to-life. These people hurt. They are in pain. They have sex to mask the pain. The make progress, they begin to recover, and this novel depicts that progress. If you have ever wondered if you are truly a submissive, one read of this book, and you'll know. THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. MIND FUCK. HEAD FUCK.

ALTRERNATING POV's from male/female. This is written from the minds of the characters, this is the author's style - if you don't like this style DONT READ IT. For those that do, it's a great read.

Baby Girl tells a true to life tale, and has descriptive sexual scenes. It is the beginning of the progression of what is intended to be a NSA D/s (Dominant-Submissuve)sexual relationship (for the summer) between a 36 year old alpha male and a 22 year old rich college grad.

NON-VIOLENT, NON ABUSIVE. NO HEAVY BDSM. YES MIND-FUCK. YES SEX. SEX IS DETAILED AND OFF THE CHAIN. Bring a fan. FARMHOUSE SCENE WILL REQUIRE A SHOWER WHEN COMPLETE.

He comes from a single parent upbringing (mother), and after graduating med school, his mother was killed in a car wreck, leaving him without parents.

She is the daughter of a wealthy BMW car dealer, recently graduated college, and home for the summer. She is scheduled for Grad School at the end of the summer, and agrees to be in a No Strings Attached (NSA) relationship with the alpha male for the summer-id he accepts her.

What unfolds are the real life intricacies in a D/s relationship, and what makes them work/fail.

Descriptive psychiatric element, descriptive sex, and in-depth discussions about relationships, expectations, and BDSM expectations.

This is Erotica you can actually relate to, and in the style of this author, an Erotica you can find a little of yourself in.

Without a doubt, you will in multiple chapters, find a bit of yourself, and finish having an understanding of who you really are, regardless of your sexual preferences.

baby girl is a must read for the Erotica reader.

[~IreneOust~ · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 stars (every time I give a book 3 stars, I feel like I need to explain my rating because so many use 3 stars to rate books they didn't care for yet, to me, 3 stars = "liked it" as per GR and my own rating scale).

OK, now that we got the rating out of the way, I want to say that I can see how this book may not be for everyone and why it's getting the reaction it does.

Is this your average romance novel? No.

Is the hero a sweet talking alpha who has you at "hello"? No.

Is the heroine a timid young lady who wins your heart by being a shy, charming virgin? HELL NO!

Part of the reason why I liked this story is because it does have that "real" feel to it. Nobody is perfect. They say what they say and do what they do because they are human and humans tend to fuck up more often than not. I personally know quite a few "Kelli"s and "Erik"s in my life so the stuff that is said and done in this book is by no means offensive or shocking to me.

You know how they say "two wrongs don't make a right"? This formula may be proven wrong in this case because I think both, Kelli and Erik, who are fucked up in their own way, may actually help each other grow and become better people in the end. I am very much looking forward to the next book in the series to see where this "realtionship" ends up going.

One of my favorite quotes in this book is actually from Scott's dedication: "... we are who we are. Be honest about who you are, and become the best you can be at being that person."

Cheers!

Honesty is the best policy, so in all due respect I have to say that this book did not work for me.

Baby Girl rubbed me in a very wrong way. This was me while reading it...

in reaction to Erik


in reaction to Kelli


There are anti-heroes and there are anti-heroes. I can't for the life of me find anything to like or relate to both Erik and Kelli. I was actually finishing this book hoping to get better understanding of their characters, why did they become who they are. Alas, I didn't get anything at all.
I didn't feel their connection, it didn't feel real to me, their thoughts were way too over the top for my liking..and why is that? Mostly they're leading to sex. I swear these two didn't have anything to do beside fucking each other senseless. I love my smut but this is too much.

Then again, please understand that this is my opinion based on my feeling when I was reading the book. Obviously it's not for me. That doesn't mean you wouldn't like it.

[Gwen ~the Book Diva · Rating 2 out of 5]

OK, so initially I DNF'd this yesterday but then decided to go back and finish it. I felt it was only fair to dislike it based on all of the content not just some of it. Mission Accomplished!  




There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. To me Christian, Gideon, James, and Jesse are all sexy and alluring men who oozed confidence and power. I think that was the target audience this author was trying for and missed it by a mile! Erik Ead is an arrogant a-hole who is painfully insecure and I could not find a single thing to like about him. The author has also mentioned several times in other forums that 'Baby Girl' is based on his life and that he is Erik Ead essentially. Hmmm...well if I believe that then I can't knock him for sharing his story and putting it down on paper. For that he received one star. The second star was because he actually took the scary step of publishing it for the public to read. See, two stars for Baby Girl right out of the gate but that's where the stars stopped.

Positive stuff (and yes there were some positives!)
-I loved the story Teddy told about A-Train and his cheating wife! Hilarious!! (I wonder if that's true?)
-I loved the little bit about Kelli and her dad and then reading Gene's POV. 
-I also loved how the index finger thing came together.
-Erik and Kelli both "hate kids" so hopefully they will not be procreating! *fingers crossed* 

Now for the negatives (And there's a lot...)
Both characters were extremely cocky and completely oblivious to the rules of decency. Their level of arrogance was unbelievable and beyond annoying!  

Kelli...Ugh, I'll let her speak for herself...

"I was almost always the smartest person in the room and always the smartest girl."

Hmm...wow. Only if she was in a room by herself and in a room full of guys making her the only girl. There wasn't a single thing she said or did that made her seem brilliant to me. She was a very insecure twat with whore tendencies...Yes I said it, let me explain...

"Love isn't real. Love is what people say to you so they can keep fucking you. So they keep your interest. I don't want lies; I want my ass slapped, my hair pulled and [to be] treated like a whore."
See, her words, not mine ...

..."I love my eyes watering and acting like I'm gagging even if I'm not gagging naturally."

Stop? I can't there's more...Once she realized she had no gag reflex, oh it was on like Donkey Kong after that...

"Starting that summer, I sucked off every guy I could."

See! A genius!Alright one last one...and I think this is my favorite...

"Pleasing a man made me happy, especially if he was married and disappointed his wife. When he came in my mouth, I felt like I had truly accomplished something."

To all of us dumb people: See what happens when you use your head! 



OK. Yes, I realize that she has some very deep issues but I just can't bring myself to care. So moving on... 

Mr. Erik "Nobody's On My Level" Ead...

"I've found that since the completion of college...", (12 years worth, which was mentioned over and over)"...that I alter my speech patterns and my demeanor based on who I'm with." Hang on, it gets better... "There was nothing worse than being around someone that made you feel uneasy or tried to talk above your ability to comprehend."

Well gosh, thanks Erik, us regular folks sure do appreciate you dumbing yourself down for us.

He also mentioned several times that women found him "Kind, considerate, articulate, caring and even romantic." What a prince!

At one point Kelli asked him the very cliche question of "Do you believe in love?" He proceeds to verbally vomit a bunch of blah blah Freudian crap for three pages before he finally gets around to answering her question, which wasn't really an answer by the way! Most of his POV felt like I was reading one of my old psychology text books!

 

Other annoying things I just gotta mention...
-At least 8 shameless plugs of his other book. (I will not mention the name.)
-The repeated use of the same words in a paragraph. 
"His kisses drove me crazy. I wanted his kisses to last forever. Kissing Erik made all other things small."

"As we kissed, his finger traced the outline of my upper lip. Our lips parted and he touched my lips with his index finger, circling around my upper and lower lips entirely."

-The most overly dramatic sex scenes ever and what's worse is that I read that he had to cut them back at least three times before he got the approval to keep them in the book. Wow...He must be a beast in real life then! *purses lips and shakes head*
-The jeans scene at The Buckle was trifling! Kelli should be ashamed of herself. It was a dirty, nasty and skanky thing to do! You would think someone as "smart" her would know better, right?
-How many times can Kelli say how much she loves it when Erik calls her baby girl? A lot as it turns out! I think we got it after the first few times, precious. 
-The fact the Channing Tatum was used repeatedly to describe Erik. I'm offended for Channing and I want to apologize to him! *kisses to CT* 
-Deep, smart, intelligent and muscular; deep, smart, intelligent, muscular... were used constantly in random combinations to describe Erik.
-Finally, WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THIS WHOLE STORY? I missed it...

OK that's enough, you get the idea. Q:Will I continue reading the series? A:Hell yes!! It was way too fun to miss out on! I can't wait to hear what new egotistical bullshit Erik the Almighty will bless us with and the continued gems of wisdom we'll get from Kelli with an i. Ah, I must be losing my mind...*rant over*

Review
I think this is one of the hardest reviews I have ever had to write. In one way I enjoyed the book but then underneath I had such a hard time connecting with Erik and Kelli. This was especially true in the beginning of the book but as time went on it got easier and easier to warm up to these two characters.

I normally like D/S relationships, but something was just off with Erik's arrogance and Kelli's "don't give a fuck" attitude. I understand why the author did this though and felt how the character development took place through the chapters. Each Erik and Kelli had to take a journey through their personalities in order for a true relationship to evolve between them.



Kelli is promiscuous and only uses guys for sex while Erik is a big bad MC guy who is the same as Kelli and doesn't believe in relationships or love. Their relationship at first is only based on lust and they can't seem to get enough of each other. As they continue through their journey, both of them realize that something is different about this "sexual" relationship and each have to deal with new feelings that are flooding their minds.

Wrap Up
The sex is steamy, the feelings are real and their journey is long - It comes to a point where Erik and Kelli are exactly what each other needs even though they never wanted it to begin with.

DNF at 60%

I can't, I'm sorry. My mental health is more important. I was going to drive myself as well as my friends insane if I continued. I really tried, I did ppl. Kelli takes the award for the biggest bimbo ever! and Erik? BORING!

FULL REVIEW TO COME... Soon... very soon!! I know what you ppl are thinking. How can I review a book that I DNF'ed?? It isn't fair. .blah blah blah. Well fuck that shit. I can never take back the days I spent trying to read this book.

Kelli and Erik


I was warned not to read this book. But to warn me is like daring me. I don't hear, " Emilia, don't read this book because it's not your 'cup of tea'. NO, What I hear is, " Emilia, I DARE you to read this book." I love challenges and dares, so of course I read the fucking book. I knew I wasn't going to love it but it was more of a challenge to see if I can tolerate and finish it. Well...I lost. This was too painful for me. And this is coming from someone who went through labor pains, impacted wisdom tooth pain, kidney stones pain, and I also have endometriosis.

Let's start off with what I liked because this will be a lot shorter than my dislikes

I was able to get through 60%. YAY For me!!!
And.............................
UH................................
oh oh, the Poker run thing. I liked that. I had never heard about that before. It was a nice thing Erik did for charity. This particular one was for a sick child. But then further in the story I read how much Kelli bimbo HATED children. YUP, I said hate. I know many, many people who do not like children, but she HATED kids.

I thought about kids, and the fact that I hated kids.

HATE is such a strong word. Especially when you're using it to describe how you feel about kids. BUT it is sure okay to use when describing two adults.

I HATED Kelli and Erik
See, that actually works.

This leads me to the things I strongly disliked HATED about this book.


So here are my dislikes



Kelli.

I couldn’t stand this idiot. She wasn’t even a likable ditz. She was annoying, , pathetic, and just a complete idiot.

Let's go over some eye rolling moments

It was bad enough that he was gorgeous, and a Channing Tatum double. -Kelli
Yeah right!!

I am like any other male you will ever meet. Actually, I am considerably better. -Erik Scott
Full of himself much?? I like confident men. But Erik Scott is just plain arrogant.

And there’s more
Actually, yes. I am probably the most confident man you’ll ever meet. But, I am confident for a reason. Because I know. I know my capacities.

Whatever.

“Pleasing a man made me happy, especially if he was married and disappointed with his wife. When he came in my mouth, I felt like I had truly accomplished something.-Kelli”


I wanted to eat and fuck. I didn’t even want to eat, I just wanted to fuck. I wanted to show Erik what I was able to do sexually. Making him happy and pleasing him more than he had even been pleased was at the forefront of my list of things to accomplish today.



Oh and here’s a convo between Kelli and her bestie (like really) Heather

Heather: “Well, I know if a guy told me to suck his dick in a movie theater, I would tell him to fuck off,” Heather said as she put her empty beer bottle on the table.

Kelli: “Whatever. And where did you get that shirt you’re wearing?



Kelli, Heather doesn’t need to worry





There were many, many eye rolling moments but I don’t think we have enough time to list all of those



And then there was the infamous dressing room scene. I had heard about this before reading the book, but nothing could’ve prepared me how nasty it actually was

"I grabbed the jeans from the corner of the room, and used the inner leg of the pants to wipe myself clean. Covered in his cum as well as mine, I wiped several times. I then neatly folded the jeans, placed them on the bench,”



Gif says it all.


And there was Erik Scottwho was a complete bore and repetitive. It was not fun being in his head. He reflects a lot. And then goes into his other book. Yup, Mr. Scott Hildreth plugs his other book in this book. Not once, not twice.. Well I can’t really tell you how many times because I didn’t finish. I guess if you want to plug your book in your other book, its ok. But, to go into detail about the book and describe it as a "masterpiece" and " powerful".....,blah blah blah

“Broken People. It’s a freaking masterpiece. This is the third time I have read it. I’m highlighting quotes in it.
“You have to read it, it’s the most powerful, moving, and inspiring book I have ever read. It’s a novel, but it reads like something that could be so true”-Kelli

To believe that, after 36 years of living, a simple book, written by a simple man (me: bullshit)could change me. The thought was unnerving. Erik



In my opinion, It's never a good idea to plug your book. It’s kind of tacky... really tacky.


And then there was Erik’s constant.. I mean constant questioning. Fuck, I thought I was playing Jeopardy with Alex Trebeck. But I was so bored with this story, I said fuck it, I’ll play your game.


Erik: You’re standing in front of me with my arms around you. I look you in the eyes, and place my hands on your shoulder and say, “ Get down on you knees, you sexy little whore, and suck you daddy’s dick like a good little girl,” Turn on or Turn off

TURN OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is never a good idea to refer yourself as “Daddy” or a woman as “ A GOOD LITTLE GIRL”.. UNLESS YOU’RE A STRIPPER WITH DADDY ISSUES


We’re in a movie theater watching a movie. You’re wearing a dress. I lean over and whisper in you ear, “ Slide over here, and get on my lap. Ride my cock. Turn on or Turn off.

Been there, done that. Next!!

Oh, I got a good laugh with this convo with Erik and Kelli,

Erik: Anal?
Kelli: yes
Me: yeah.. No surprise there
Erik: Bondage?
Kelli: Yes
Me: Sure, why not
Erik: Wearing a Collar?
Kelli: Yes. Are we going in alphabetical order?
Me:**rolls eyes**

Erik: nipple clamp, being beaten
Kelli: Yes, yes, yes
Me: no one fucking beats me
Erik: Being gagged in any fashion, wearing a leash, being humiliated
Kelli: (imagine a bimbo bouncing her boobs) Yes, Yes, yes!!
Erik:cutting, tattoo, threesomes, foursomes, gangbangs, watersports.
Kelli: Yes to everything. But, everything involving other people, we’d have to discuss.

Me:



And I am not even going to add how much Kelli loves cock. Hey, so do I. But I don’t need to constantly hear about it and how much she’s good at it
Kelli: I love it, (as she stroked her throat) “ Feeling a cock slide in and out my throat makes me so wet. I love my eyes watering and acting like I am gagging, even if I am not gagging naturally

Oh yeah, Bimbo doesn’t have a gag reflux


The Story and Writing??
very stilted
Let’s sum it up in Kelli POV( my version) So like, I met this guy at daddy’s job. And he was soo hot, that I had to meet him so I can suck his massive cock, bc you know I can suck a cock like no other. We went on a couple of dates. We fucked on those dates and oh don’t forget I also sucked his cock. WE had some deep convo’s .. .like for reals. And well, like now we are totally in love. He inspires me to be the biggest and best cock sucker .. EVER

Is this review mean? Probably. But the author was warned and knew what was coming. ( he actually was a good sport about it. He might change his mind after this review) I personally felt this was not some profound , inspiring book like I heard. Let’s call it what it is: SMUT! A smut book. I like smut; Just not this kind of smut. I don’t need to read Ben Stein and Courtney Stodden make some cheesy porno.



Oh, in case you’re wondering how Kelli became so smart. Just read :
Broken People

See, Scott darling, I just helped plug your other book in my review. Thank me later. *wink*

Now I haven't read it, but if you believe what this book says, then 'Broken People' will change your life FOREVER...like TOTALLY!

I can’t say what happens after 60% , but I can take a good guess.



Let's end this review with a joke from Kelli

3.5 Epic Moments of Awesome Stars

I have been interested in checking this series out for awhile and when Heather via The Snarky Bloggers
was nice enough to offer me the series in exchange for an honest review, it seemed like a no brainer!!!

I heard previously that this book/series wasn't for everyone and since I am open-minded (unless we're talking brother/sister lovin'...**shivers**), I can read pretty much anything and give it a try.

So I'll approach this from what I didn't like so much and then what I liked and loved...

I found some of the dialogue to be repetitive or too descriptive of every action at times. I thought some of the paragraphs could have been more concise in some areas as well. At times I found Erik so clinical that it was difficult to feel a connection to him... that was more so in the beginning though as he expressed a great deal of emotions as the book progressed. I'm not so big on the Psychodynamic approach but that's due to a theoretical preference and not a criticism. I would have liked for more of the information to be stated as the characters truth and not so much as a universal truth. I won't go into too many specifics because I don't want to give any elements of the story away. I just felt that some of the explanations will resonate with some and for others will not and that could be a slippery slope. Kelli was odd to me at times, as a woman... and lastly I would've liked a few more interactions with them whether they turned sexual or not.

Now for what I liked and LOVED...

I LOVED the way that Erik analyzed Kelli and his questions always had a purpose and deep meaning to them. I loved how he complimented her and recognized what she needed in order to feel cared for and gave it to her. I loved that Kelli was aware of and accepted herself as a sexual being. It was a little over the top a time or two but overall it was a positive thing that she recognized what she was good at, what she liked, and what she wanted, sexually. I really liked how they grew more open and in accepting their faults and the difficulties that they've had to overcome that framed who they were, they were able to grow together. There were several awesomely insightful nuggets of information that I know I will file away and ponder later. I think for someone who has no exposure or little exposure to psychology this could be very educational.

Favorite Scenes: When the meaning of three questions were revealed, The blindfold, Kelli telling her best friend what she wants, the final scene of the book <--heart totally melted!!!

Overall, I did enjoy this one and I am looking forward to continuing on and seeing how these two do or don't make things work and what hurdles and difficulties are ahead...

[Dimaris rossy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Realistic- (CHECK)
Hot guy- (CHECK)
HOT SEX- (CHECK, CHECK, CHECK)

What is good about this book is that you can relate to both of the characters in some way and you get very intrigue about what is to come for them as a couple. I found myself thinking that I am the same as them with some of the things they say... I am definitely going to keep reading this series because I want to know what happens now that they enter new territory. Although Erik is extremely good with Kelli (every woman wishes to have a guy notice and admire every detail of them), it is not just about him. Kelli is a strong woman that knows what she wants, she is NOT the typical girl that needs saving in the books. That to me is refreshing.

Warning- Have patience with some parts where you can feel like they are repeated or going backwards, those are needed for us to feel like they do. For us to understand what they feel is important.

How I was acting towards this author and especially this book


But now



4 fascinating stars

Everything for a reason, right? Maybe I wasn't open to appreciate this series the way it was intended to be appreciated when it first came out. Whatever the reason, I'm glad I'm reading them now.

There were parts of this story that made me extremely uncomfortable. And I can see where it's not going to be everyone's cuppa. But I find it fascinating so far. I'd even say a unique beautiful by the end. Erik and Kelli's beautiful.

So I'll continue the journey w/these two broken individuals.

Ok, I have to say that this is not your typical, I'm a virgin and just met a 26 year old billionaire and he wants to tie me up and spank me story. This is so much more. The characters in this book are, well how can I say it. Believable. The fact that she wants to make him happy isn't that far off from a lot of us. I found myself in her character. Not so much the hot sex,(not that I would mind that) but wanting to please.

[Kelly · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 stars!!

It's a much different book than the other D/s books I have read and it's not easy to write this review.

It's the story of Erik & Kelli.

Erik was a 36 years old man who wanted to live his life to the maximun.
He didn't believe in love or commitment, he was arrogant, untamed and overly-confident! He was intelligent and as psychiatrist he had the ability to read people easily....Also he was a Dominant...



Kelli was a self-absorbed 22 years old woman who didn't have any sexual inhibitions...



They met & their physical attraction was immediate... They started an intense, sexual, dominant-submissive relationship and what started as casual ended up to be a passionate affair in which the characters slowly fell for each other.

The characters are both broken,emotionally handicapped, miserable in their own existence and their abnormal behaviour is the result of their daily struggle to cope with their reality... Fate brought them together and their recovery slowly started!

Before reading this you need to take the above facts under consideration otherwise you'll end up confused & you'll misjudge the whole meaning & purpose of the book!

It's a sexy read & the sex scenes are well-written since the characters know how to use their sexuality!

Did I enjoyed this book? YES The author's remarks helped me to understand many things better!
Will I read the next one? : YES I really want to see the development of the characters!

ERIK EAD: Baby girl, I have a question. Who owns you?

I almost don't know where to start talking about this book. My head is all over the place and I am sure that Mr. Hildreth is enjoying the thought of that.

When my Rebel Book Bitches started reading this, I knew I had to jump in. I am not sure what I expected, but I know it was not what I got, because what I got was so much more. So. Much. More.

Baby Girl is the story...no let me take that back....the journey of Erik and Kelli. Two people who are alone, but not lonely, that want nothing more than a relationship without the hangups of love....but once they begin this purely sexual relationship they realize maybe they have each met their perfect match because Erik is a Dom and Kelli learns she is a submissive and their pairing could not work out better.

I found that throughout this book, Mr. Hildreth gave such thought provoking words and insight that I was highlighting my ereader every few pages. His words made me think and his characters I could relate to....they were flawed in the most real ways possible.

Another thing that drew me to this book was it was written by a man....I wanted to read erotica from a male perspective and he did not disappoint. Ladies, Mr. Hildreth can fucking write erotica. He nailed it from both sides (no pun intended) and I was completely worn out at the end of some of his scenes.

I am totally looking forward to jumping into book 2 of this series. This is an author who is definitely on my radar :)

He said he was going to ruin me, and own me. He did both.

[Kate · Rating 1 out of 5]

So far.....
The writing is immature and honestly not well written. For example:
"We never hung out there, because all of the guys are perverts that go there."

"The walk to the bathroom was like every other time I walked through a bar to the bathroom."

"I want to fuck him. I want to fuck him until he can't even think. He. Makes. Me. So. Wet. That guys just...Jesus Heather did you see him?"

"You say fuck and cock and cum more than any man I've ever met and you always shave."

Wtf does shaving have to do with this discussion?

"I just like to cuss. It makes me feel good. I think deep Down inside, if I talk really dirty, I will get dirty results from a man. The older and dirtier the better."

"I did. But. But. But. There's a difference. I want someone to appreciate me for who I am. For the person I am, and the person I am able to be; not for what I look like. But I do not what them to appreciate me and want to marry me. I want them to appreciate me and fuck me. Fuck me because they appreciate me. Not appreciate me because they fucked me. If a man appreciates me for who I am and then fucks me, he's going to fuck me like he appreciates me."

The fuck kinda logic is that?!

Horrible writing, plain and simple.

Erik is a strange guy. He's in his mid 30's and he sounds like a 22 year old ass hole. Pardon my French. Both his parents are deceased, he has a physiatrist degree, he's very wealthy, and he's a cocky, kinky prick. What kind of person would deliberately get a woman to fall for him just so he could break her heart and "ruin" her for other men? Apparently this guy does.
Kelli and Erik's first meeting was strange. For one, why is it necessary to explain how your name is spelled? I wouldn't say "My name is Sarah with an H" unless I was at the doctors office. Two, if a guy told me to walk for him because he liked to watch me I'd be creeped out. Three, if a guy stated I would text him, then call him just because he left me his number I would be irritated at the arrogance coming off him.

Will continue....

Here's the thing. It took me a bit to get into this book. I agree it's not a typical romance with hot guy meets rich Virgin insecure girl. There's not the usual angst of girl running, cheating or exes getting involved. But rather a tale of two "broken" people coming together and finding...love?? The writing reads more like a diary or memoir with indepth thoughts and discussions of why they're into these "desires". I must admit, I wasn't sure at first if I liked or would finish. But I was buddy reading and that always keeps me going. But I'm glad I did continue and finish, worth the read. Many aha moments and lots of hmmmms.

Neither Erik or Kelli believed or have been in love before. So they come together and agree on a sexual relationship. "I want to fuck him. I want to Fuck him until he can't even think. He. Makes. Me. Wet. That guy just......Jesus, Heather did you see him?"". But as time goes they start to "feel" but still not sure what those feelings are; ""When we were fucking, I felt full. Not just full of your cock, I felt full. Full emotionally. Safe, protected, I wasn't worried. I never felt that way before. I have felt that way since we talked at the coffee shop and you told me to go to the bathroom. I like it. It's different. It's different and it's a great kind of difference. Don't ever stop fucking me, Erik. Ever" I'm afraid I'm going to have to".
Then they start to question, what is love and is love real?? There is no such thing as love. There is sex, affection, and satisfaction. With those things come pleasure.". Very interesting and sad thought by Kelli. But Kelli is broken and was raised by a single dad, so she's very negative.....here's Erik's take, which I liked...."If we take two human hearts, and touch them together at the pulmonary artery, it forms a perfect shape of the heart that we always draw. The representation of love. It takes two people to have and maintain love. It takes two hearts to make love."

Now as I said different writing style, not your typical romance but it is a love story and it will make you think and see a bit of yourself in these characters and question and think about your relationships. So I recommend reading the entire book and I'm looking forward to reading more about Kelli and Erik and how they grow....

Overall.....3.5 stars

[Tanaka K · Rating 4 out of 5]

You find a certain kind of book. Totally not norm from the books you read. Such books are precious. They like a big shiny gem or your favpurite meal that you would go for seconds or even thirds. Thats what this book was to me. A perfect gem.

This is my first Scott Hildreth book and what an exciting first book it was. I was so excited because I rarely read books by male authors that make me so excited and giddy. This book qas the epitomy of raw and honest writing that had me in a trance. Intelligence, wit, truth transcended oage by page and it had me on the edge.

This is book is no romance. There are no roses or anyone bullshitting in the book. It was straight to the point , honest and truthful writing. The characters were so addictive. So much character development and uniqueness page by page, i could not get enough. The fact that the characters were so different in terms of personality resulting in a amazing dynamic characterisation. I sas in awe. Told in dual POV, it allowed me to understand the 4W, What, Who, Where and Why and thats the most important aspect in a book.

I highly recommend this book because it differntiates from any typical BDSM books. Its gritty, raw and most cases it pushes your limits in terms of reading. This is the book to read.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Scott this whole weak and it was truly awesome. An awesome guy and author :).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ERIK EAD ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am tempted to leave it like that. 3... SIMPLE... SYLLABLES...

Simple.

Hmmm...For those that have read this book, the weight of those
3 syllables alone carry so much weight... Erik... Ead.

"It's Erik with a "k", Kelli. Enunciate..."

Erik Ead. I have been hearing your name for months... "You must
read Baby girl!", " What are you waiting for? Read it already",
"He will OWN you!", "I've licked him already, he's MINE!"

'His hands. His posture. His voice. His smell. His presence.
Erik. Fucking. Ead.
Ohmyfuckinggodmyheadisgoingtoexplode.'

Can he really hold that much power? Isn't this build up... just,

TOO.GOOD.TO.BE.TRUE?

Now, I have a 'slightly' stubborn streak... I like to call it 'having my own mind'
I like to form my opinions. I like to go into a book with no expectations, a blank slate.
So, I was skeptical at first... Worried that he wouldn't live up to the hype. This was a
new feeling for me. I went into this book feeling slightly anxious... Like Kelli,

"I felt as if I was being sucked into some form of a game and I had no idea what the rules were."

Now....



▶️THIS IS NOT A HEARTS & FLOWERS ROMANCE◀️

Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, blah blah blah... Yeh, forget it! BDSM club? Nope!

▶️THIS IS RAW & REAL◀️

& I would expect nothing less from Scott Hildreth. He doesn't put on airs and graces. Thank God! This story tells about Erik Ead & Kelli, embarking on a dominant / submissive relationship minus the commitment... Simple, right?

SIMPLE.

Hmmm, NOT a word I've come to associate with Scott Hildreth. Sure, you can skim read and move onto the next book on your tbr... BUT you would miss out on so many things...



THEY.MAKE.YOU.THINK! (By the way, I'll get to Public Service Announcement #1 in just a minute... I never do things the traditional way *winks*)

They have so much depth, and explore so many themes... and they make you question.

"Kelli, I am going to crawl inside your head. Are you ready?"

^^^^ That is how I feel when I read one of Scott's books! Like he has crawled inside my head! I don't just read it, I immerse myself in it. I explore each layer. I question.

Relationships. Love. Upbringing. Trust. Life.

"Looking beyond life's imperfections allows one to be able to find happiness. Life is not perfect, ever. For me, remembering that life is flawed, people are flawed, and therefore relationships are flawed, allows me to look at the flaws and imperfections as part of life itself. A perfect life includes all of the flaws associated with what and who you surround yourself with."

Even a simple Disco Ball takes on a different meaning!

Back to Erik Ead... Arrogant prick / ass (arse) / bastard... Pick your noun of choice ~ he's probably been called them all! Maybe I was reading a different book, because for me ~

Arrogance~Ar.ro.gant: having or showing the insulting attitude of people who believe that they are better, smarter, or more important than other people.

Really couldn't be further from the truth...

"In the company of any group of people, I purposely tried to talk like they did, never above them or below them."

Confident? YES he has that in abundance ~

Confident~con.fi.dence: a feeling or belief that you can do something well or succeed at something.

...AND we have come to Public Announcement #1 Erik is confident in pretty much everything, and he is definitely confident in his role as a dominant...

"Oh fuck, Erik. Oh. My. Fuck. Fuuuuuuck... What the fuck are you doing to me?"

^^^^ yep! THAT.RIGHT.THERE! He hooked me! What can I say... I read the infamous "counting scene" at the gym! <~~~ THAT is the Public Service Announcement #1 I went there! I knew about it, and I went there!

*reading one of the many HOT scenes in Baby Girl, WILL cause your breathing to increase, your skin to flush, changes in breathing... AND...*

Let's just steal Erik's words, to make my point! Thinking about~

"Margaret Thatcher naked in a snowstorm."

is NOT going to make a fucking bit of difference! Consider yourself forewarned... Unless you're me, who would probably do it again exactly the same way ~

Movie theatre, mall, restrained... Bring it on! Once or maybe twice *smirks*

I loved seeing the progression of Erik and Kelli's relationship too!

PROGRESSION.

not

INSTA-LOVE.

"Love that is developed..."



It felt real. They felt real. They weren't perfect. They had flaws and hidden insecurities... Which for me, is the thing that endeared them to me! If they were perfect, or to the other extreme arrogant, I would have been frankly ambivalent.

I could talk and talk and talk... I have so much to say, but I'm going to keep it simple. The moment that Erik "ruined" me.

MADE.ME.MELT.

Was when he he said something so simple, so beautiful to me ~

"I want to know you from exposure. I want to witness you exist."

I can't wait to continue their story.

So, as much as I went into this book with doubts... You were right guys...

"(You said) he was going to ruin me and own me. He did both."

And to completely sum up my feelings about "Baby Girl I", I am going to, erm, "borrow" from Erik and Kelli ~

"Did you like that?" He asked, still inside me fully.
"Like it?" My hands still on the countertop, I turned around and looked at him."Like it? Are you fucking serious?"

So, Mr. Hildreth, after a skeptical start... You did it again!

YOU. MADE. ME. THINK... & REFLECT.

That is all *winks*

Were do I begin...

First this book has been on my TRB list for awhile and well I just decided to dive in head first. I have never read a book from a male author that did not involve M/M.

While reading this book I felt that Scott was telling me well then baby girl...



AND POP MY CHERRY HE DID!!

This is one of those book you either love or you don't. I personal loved it. The book makes you think. I liked the fact that the author switches back from the male and female perspective. This is normally not my cup of tea but it totally worked for me.(this time)

I understand a lot of people find Erik arrogant, twisted, selfish, conceited, and outright delusions of grandeur but for me that is what turned me on about him. Call me a sick twisted BITCH but hey I am what I am and I am not ashamed.

Baby Girl will cause you to stop and actually think about relationships, sex, love, how we are raised and what that does to our views and feelings as we become older.

While reading this book you will see some things about yourself that is, if you read it with an open mind and different expectations than you might usually have when reading a "romance" novel. This is not your typical romance erotic novel. It is so much more.

Women think they know what we want in a partner, but maybe it's not what society says we should want in a relationship. Everyone follows what society says.

Scott Hildreth takes you on that journey of a different type of relationship. Everyone has questions one question being...

Can I give myself over to a demanding man?

You know you have thought about this at one point or another in your life. It is natural. Just not everyone acts on their thoughts and desires. Or not everyone understands these thoughts.

I was pleasantly surprised this was not an average Dom meets his submissive. It makes you think. And I loved every second of it!!

I personal think the story is refreshing. It shows an inside look of what BDSM is really all about, it gives the honest truth. It's real, emotional, passionate, suspenseful, and OMG HOTT!!!

I mean








I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a open mind and wants to read something REAL.

Well done Scott HIldreth..Well done...

Off to the second book in the series....

[Kelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Totally not what I was expecting and I'm sure liking Erik is some form of crazy but hell I loved him.

Is this book over the top at times? Yes! Is everyone going to like it? NO! But if you can get past some of the craziness there really is a good story and a decent message.

The description of Erik, makes my mouth water but there really is more to this character. He may be crude at times, he may be overbearing but isn't that why we fall for our favorite alpha males? Okay maybe that's just me. But behind his rough exterior is a sensitive guy with an actual brain. I don't even know how much of what he said I highlighted but I know it was a good amount. There were times he would say something so deep and I'd think about it and something in my head would just click. This isn't just a wham-bam-thank-you-maam f&%k fest (Oh don't worry the sex is HOT) but there really is more to this story.

I can't begin to tell you how pleasantly surprised I was and it was because of the messages within the book, things you really need to pay attention to. I was so happy after I finished I went right ahead and bought the rest of the serious plus another book by the author!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first starting reading this book being it was written by a male author. I was waiting to see this pushy, selfish, chauvinistic pig of a character. Wrong!

It was raw, panty wetting, straight forward, no beating around the bush when it came to what Eric wanted or expected from Kelli. Did I mention panty wetting? :) Most erotica books I have read written by female authors tend to take it slow with the characters, which is good. But most tend to feel like what they are, just a story. With Baby Girl, for me, it felt real and alive, like I was reading someone's journey through life and I connected with that. This book pulled me in from the very first chapter. I can honestly tell you that this book has answered so many of my very own personal questions about myself.

Scott Hildreth did an amazing job with this book, in my opinion. Let me sum it up. I absolutely fucking loved this book!! Read it people, enough said..

[Colleen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I remember my first D/s relationship and although it is not for everyone; I don't regret a single moment of it. I have had others but as with anything, you never forget your first.
Kelli is a natural submissive and although she had tendencies that she knew existed, meeting Erik bring it out of her completely. Erik tells her that he will ruin her and it certainly doesn't lie.
Erik has experienced tragic loses in his life and because of it he keeps himself closed off from the possibility of having love, finding love, feeling love and finally falling in love.
AGAIN I have found another of Scott's series to fall in love with and I'm glad that I got this entire series so that I didn't have to wait for another book to continue the series. The more he writes, the more I will keep reading. You're making a lot of money off me; you're welcome.

These are literally my thoughts as I read this book

1. You’re (Erik…Mr. Hildreth) an absolute mind fuck
2. All your “dates” should carry baby wipes in their purses
3. ABSOLUTELY fucking yes to all six of your questions…your writing is a turn on
4. Googled the “Black Keys” cause you know…I want to know what you know
5. Put “buy chucks” on my “to do” list for tomorrow….is pink suitable?
6. So wait you don’t like heels…as in ever? My ass looks good in heels…added black chucks to the list also. Most of my lingerie is black & I like to match.

Who owns me? You do Mr. Hildreth, you do….

I'm 76% done and that took a few days. I can't finish it. I hate to leave a book unread but I just cant get myself to finish this book. Some of the reviews said it will really get you thinking and it really did nothing for me at all. All I thought about is when it will end. I didnt find it mind provocating or insightful whatsoever. There were times that it seemed repetative. It just wasnt for me and I won't finish it up.

LOVED IT!!! I generally don't enjoy reading male authors, I have troubles connecting with them but this story was refreshing in its flow and tone. The story wasn't over the top with a whip wielding asshole Dom or a sub needing BDSM as therapy. Erik and Kelli are two people who just fit perfectly together,their relationship felt 'real' and was rather sweet.

If their natural response would be “no”, I wanted to make them say “yes”. Getting them to do so was what fueled me. It allowed me to live a satisfied life. ~ Erik Ead

Baby Girl is the first book in the Erik Ead Trilogy. It lays the emotional and mental groundwork for this informative erotica series. The characters are captivating and will leave you wanting more... More Erik Ead...More of their D/s relationship … More of their hot SEX!

Erik Ead is the mid thirty something ever elusive bachelor. He suffered the loss of his father at a very young age and then his mother during a turning point as an adult. Both losses combined altered his emotional state of commitment.

Erik only seeks partners who are willing to be his submissive with no emotional attachment.

Dominance, once experienced in a relationship, ruined any chance of me being satisfied in a non dominant role.

Kelli is the young twenty something college graduate. She is home for the summer working at her father's car dealership. Just like Erik, Kelli also suffer the loss of a parent at a young age. Whereby, leaving her father to raise her all on his own. Kelli is missing something from her life that she didn’t realize until she found Erik.

Erik and Kelli’s relationship evolves but on unconventional terms. They each have needs that the other can fulfill. There are no hearts and flowers in this book but what you will find is heart-felt struggles as two people come to terms with their meaning of love and commitment.

Someone cannot take, easily what is protected from their grasp. The taking of love--or the taking of one’s heart--could be easy, I supposed, from someone that had minimal effort in place to protect it.

Did I love these characters?? Yes and No. Did they have me asking questions I hadn’t previously considered? YES! Will I continue with this series? ABSOLUTELY! After getting a taste of Erik Ead one book just isn’t enough!

Wow!!! Awhile back when a friend told me, yes told me, that I had to read this trilogy, I put it off. I mean how could this author top what I had already read by him? I mean really? Undefeated....Selected Sinners....and now, Bodies Ink and Steel??? Really what could top those? THIS FUCKING BOOK....THAT'S WHAT!!! I.Love.This.Book!!! I am so sorry that I didn't read this sooner. For all of you little delicate flowers out there, this may not be for you. If you are one that dislikes really hot pull my hair and slap my ass red sex or if you are for some stupid reason against a D/s relationship....then move along, this book is NOT for you! But on the other hand if you love a REAL book, a REAL relationship story, a book that I am hoping that everyone can relate to...this book is definitely for you!! If you happen to read this book and you don't relate, I really hope that it teaches you that it's ok to be sexually adventurous. It's fun...and just like this book tells us, it's normal!
I love how Erik...with a "K" and Kelli....with an "I" are so compatible. It's not often that one finds a partner that understands them and accepts them for who they are and what they want. It is quite apparent in this book that these two are very sexually compatible, but on top of that, they understand one another. They grow together mentally. I loved all the psychological BS that this book had, it wasn't boring. Erik is a Doctor but not a stuffy asshole. He knows why he is the way he is and can explain his relationship beliefs, and he has a way of explaining it to Kelli that makes us as the reader understand why they are the way they are as individuals. This book was an awesome read and I can't wait to see where their relationship is off to next!!
Mr. Hildreth....I'm not even going to say it, because I have said it a 100x before, so you already know! My heart is full.

Scott Hildreth is a phenomenal writer! Baby Girl is a beautifully written story of the relationship that develops between Erik Ead and Kelli Parks.
Erik, hands down, is one seriously sexy, ‘confident not arrogant’, dominant alpha male. He has no problem expressing what he wants or expects but has never allowed himself to love. Kelli doesn't believe in love but she desires the dominance Erik can provide.
POV’s from both characters gives a better understanding of Erik’s Dom personality and Kelli as a natural submissive, wanting to please and make Erik happy. The more time they spend together, their ideas about love and relationships changes – “You don’t give someone your love. They take it. Love it taken. And, when someone takes your love, you will know it…”
The ‘Questions’ – I love the questions. I even found myself answering them too…. and the deeper meaning to them – just brilliant!!!
"Nothing, to me, was worse than a hug from someone who did not have their heart in it" - Being a person that hugs, I totally agree with this.
Now I see what Scott meant … "You may find a little of yourself in this story. If you do, embrace it. You're not as broken as you think." I think a lot of us can relate - I know I did. I sat deep in thought after reading this book. Scott, you got in my head with this one just like all the others – goal accomplished. It made me reevaluate how I feel…my life, my past, what I want and desire….Love… I won’t settle for anything less. I have officially been ruined – Sir!
Baby Girl is a MUST READ but you have to read the entire series to feel what it’s like to be ruined, wrecked and owned…
Thank you again Scott for another wonderful read!

3.5 stars!!

This book is either the kind where you love it or hate it. It's just not for everyone.

For me, I just don't know. I just didn't find myself getting into it or even connecting with any of the characters. I felt completely on the outside with conflicting emotions towards the male protagonist's POV. I get his logic and thinking but at the same time I don't. When he went into his psychological analysis of himself I often found myself between skimming/dosing off/ or comprehending. Strange, yeah? Maybe it's because I'm not that much of a deep thinker. Hmm.

But anyway, it's a good story with potential but it's not my cup of tea per say.

*Book was recommended to me on behalf of my goodreads buddy, Debb's, recommendation! ;)

This book was...intense. I don't know what else to say. No words come to mind that will do it justice.
