126 books1,935 followersSince I was a little girl, I’ve made up stories. I would lay in my bed at night and before I knew what a trope was, I would make up these trope filled stories. Boy sees girl, boys falls for girl, boy saves girl….happily ever after. As I got older, the stories turned steamier and more intricate, but the basics never changed.
Now, my books are still full of romance but the naughty bits are naughtier, my hero’s are obsessed alpha types and my heroines are quirky, real women who come in all shapes and sizes.
So, sit back, banish the real world and get lost in some over the top romance with a heaping helping of hot. xoxoxo

Listen, I was on my period while reading this. Things were rough, and I cried. And I *felt* the story too much. Hence.
I love my smuts really.

Instalove novella, with a (mildly) wounded bird FMC and a mountain daddy MMC.
I might not remember much of this story in 3 months, but I did enjoy it! A great palate cleanser.

Cute, dirty little read....pretty big age gap....father's best friend...ex-military now mountain man...virgin h...alpha H...DD/lg vibe...Daddy
"Everything on this mountain answers to me." His eyes lock with mine as he carries me up the steps, my body weightless in his arms. "Including you, now. Especially you."
"You want to watch?" His voice drops lower, rougher. "Then watch. Let’s just hope your father isn’t watching from heaven." He looks toward the ceiling, mumbling something about, ‘I’m sorry brother.’

You can't make him sound 25 if he's 45
Okay so he's 42, not 45, but I don't think that impacts my statement much, does it?
The more outrageous the age gap, the more I crave maturely intense heroes. I want that overwhelming quiet power of older, settled (made-up) men.
This hero? He's so... chaotic and uncertain.
He wants her but knows he shouldn't and instead of having that battle happen internally (like a real fictional man), he foists that burden onto the heroine by whining about how wrong it is.
Yuck.
I think I've been spoiled by the older heroes from vintage Harlequins. More contemporary older heroes are not hitting like them.

Fire about sums up this whole book in one scorcher of a read.
Rock solid romance. Packed with the flow of raging emotions. I gotta say I'm in love with Jack. This mountain of a man, tamed by a little spitfire of a girl. Not understanding the dynamics of lust nor safety, both found Home in each other. I really enjoyed this read, I laughed in moments that did not warrant a laugh, I just got tickled by the interactions, fierce, dominate and safe. Rules. Though I wish all the evidence over David had been sent on to the appropriate parties, you know for ⚖️. Can't what for the next Boone to feel shift in the mountain.

Not for me
It gave me the ICK feeling.
The writing was also really repetitive, with lots of spelling and grammar mistakes.
It also had a fair amount of inconsistencies, first saying Delaney was in her 20s, then constant changes as to which brother did what.
I’ve read so many “daddy” stories, but sometimes they really don’t sit right, and this was one of them.
I’d have liked it more if she were a bit older, and they had a bit more time together before the whole *SPOILER* engagement. And sending that stuff about her ex to the hospital and police- he didn’t face any consequences! Arghh
I’ve read Dani before, and I will again, this just wasn’t for me.

I received an ARC and I'm freely reviewing.
4.2 stars. Delaney is 18 years old, scared and alone. She needs help and seeks out the man that her dad told her to go to if there are any problems, Jack. They meet and it involves a rope swing, lol. There are growled words, sass and instant chemistry. This is a Daddy/baby girl story, so if that isn't for you. Don't read this one. Now, if that is something that you do enjoy, you will love this book. Then the bonus is, there are 3 other brothers, so we will get more Boone brothers. Yes!!!

hot mountain men ahead!
First in the Boone brothers series did not disappoint. Delaney is running from her psycho ex. Jack is former military and just wants to be left alone on his mountain. What follows after they meet is pure magic. Dani has a way of writing both main characters with so many layers that it rips your heart out. Two people who are both strong and flawed and needing to learn to love. I couldn’t put this book down and I can’t wait for the next in series!

I love this trope. Delaney is a FMC who is in need of help from her Ex. The ex is one you'd like to punt into next week. Jack served in the military with her Dad. He is the dream mountain man. There is instant chemistry and heat. I loved Jack and Delaney's Dom/Sub Daddy kink. Quick read with super spicy scenes. Now I'm off to see if I can read about his brother's. I'm sure their stories will be equally hot.

Delaney Hart has lost her father to cancer and in turn has lost everything. She seeks refuge and solace with her dad's best friend from their military days, Jack Boone. Jack lives on Wildfire Mountain and is a bit of a recluse. Delaney is also escaping an abusive ex-boyfriend that isn't quite getting the concept of ex.
Jack is having a "hard" time resisting Delaney, but would her dad have sent her his way except than to take care of her in every way possible?

Another amazing book by Dani. This book was so hot I needed a cold shower. This book is all mountain daddy. When Delaney is trouble after her father dies he told her to find Jack Boone. Jack finds Delaney in a dangerous situation and even before he knows who she is he wants her. This is the first book in the Boone brothers standalone series and I can't wait for the next book.

Delaney and Jack are explosive together. Their relationship is just amazing! I loved them together and how he was so protective of her.
Delaney needed help, and Jack was the only one who could help her. Their story is entertaining and addictive. You won't want to stop reading their story. It's so good. The spice and the plot are just great. It's a quick read, but so good.

Delaney and Jack
I love a good fall in love at first sight story.
Jack rescues her from the river and never lets her go.
He’s her protector, lover and gives her joy everyday.
What a good story.

So much fun
This was very entertaining. Jack was very much a possessive mountain man. He was a no nonsense type of man yet he cared for her deeply. He was very dominant but not in an annoying way. I really enjoyed all the rough around the edges vibe.

Love me a Daddy Dom, but the sadism and degradation are not my jam. To each their own. Also a 24 year age gap is a bridge too far for me. As for the writing style itself there are some jarring transitions in scenes that are poorly executed and inconsistencies in the story.

A little corny, but Delaney goes in search of Jack Boone, her dead father’s friend in the mountains. He is a brute of a mountain man and pulls her out of the river.
He’s summed obsessed with her and takes charge of all things Delaney. He’s text book “daddy.”
Spice: 4/5

I should have liked this. It’s everything I like. Girl in trouble and in the run from her controlling abuse ex gets rescued by her dad’s best friend who becomes her daddy. But, it just didn’t hit, and I can’t say why.

Daddy’s Girl by Dani Wyatt is a Wild, Forbidden Daddy treat. I Loved this book so much and read it in one sitting.
