He was my ex-boyfriend's father. He's the one man I should never want.
After George dumped me for refusing to compromise my values, the last person I expected to crave was Arturo Soto, my ex's sophisticated, devastatingly handsome architect father, who offered me shelter when I had nowhere else to go.
But the way his hungry eyes lingered made my pulse quicken in a way my ex's never had, stirring a longing deep inside a desire to finally give myself, body and soul, to a man who truly understood what it meant to cherish a woman.
Jeanne was everything my selfish son didn't deserve. A woman who needed a real man to show her what she'd been saving herself for.
She walks around my house like she belongs here, and God help me, I want her to. I want to keep her. I want to be the one who finally gets what she's been saving for the right man.
The night I break, I show her exactly what she's been missing with boys her own age, and everything changes. When she looks up at me with those wide eyes and whispers "Daddy," I know I'mruined.
George will never forgive me. Society will call me a predator. I don't give a damn.
She's mine now, and I'm keeping her.

Falling for my Ex’s Daddy is an age-gap taboo romance featuring an obsessive, dominant silver fox and the innocent woman he can't resist. Forbidden, filthy, and absolutely addictive. This is a full-length standalone in the Forbidden Fathers series with a guaranteed HEA.
Story was there… definitely needed editing… lots of parts got repeated within the same scene and the scenes would start in one place, bounce to another space and then finalize in the starting setting. It got confusing at times…
Honestly, this story had so much that it could have been! Great passion, romance, kink, age gap, angst. However, the writing took all the passion away. If I had to read that their love or feelings or whatever transcends anything one more time I was going to scream. It was written like corporate jargon and not how people communicate.
I could not get past the fact that the same phrases were repeated over and over and over again. The book would be 40% shorter without beating a dead horse. Other things also did not make sense. If she has 3 weeks to move out of the apartment why is the ex taking her immediately to his dad’s house? Why is her ex offering up his dad’s house to begin with? If her reason for wanting to hold onto her virginity is waiting until marriage and not just for someone she really cares about, why is she just ok with giving it up without even dating this guy?
DNF’d 63% and should’ve done it sooner.

Boring, repetitive, and needs a proofreader and editor
I can't believe how terrible I found this book. It started out well. It had a great premise - one that I was excited for, but the execution was awful! Half the book felt like it was just sentences being repeated. I feel like most of the bedroom scenes and sentences were copy and paste. Like the author didn't know what to write and figured the reader wouldn't notice that the scenes were the same sentences just in a different order. I completely checked out every time she talked about her job or school projects. They were overly worded scenes that bored me to tears. The son was an a*s and didn't deserve any sort of quick closure that was given. And I'm sorry for someone who supposedly had such strong convictions about not doing anything before marriage, she sure let those go quickly once she moved in with Arturo. I would've much rather the author write the MFCs unwillingness to go past a certain point in the bedroom as someone just waiting for the right person rather than her blaming it on waiting for marriage and then succumbing 2 seconds later after she moves in with Arturo. It makes her seem more flighty and not nearly as principled as the author was trying to make her seem.
There are so many problems with this book, including a whole section (pages worth) where the pages just repeat. You literally reread the exact same pages again. Does the author not reread her work?? Does she have no one to edit or proofread her stuff before being published? That's not to mention typos !like the MFCs name being misspelled or just general grammar problems. Not to mention, it felt like some chapters were moved around and in the wrong places towards the end.
4.5 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ✨ When I pick up Falling for my Daddy, the premise alone immediately pulls you in. A young woman, recently dumped by her boyfriend for refusing to compromise her values, suddenly finds herself living under the same roof as the one man she should never want his father.
Jeanne is portrayed as a character who has been overlooked and undervalued, especially by her ex. That’s what makes her connection with Arturo so compelling. Arturo doesn’t see her as someone naive or inconvenient—he sees her as someone worth protecting and cherishing. That shift in how she’s perceived adds emotional weight to their growing attraction. Arturo, on the other hand, is written as the confident, powerful older man who knows exactly what he wants but struggles with the consequences of it. The internal conflict—between desire, morality, and the fallout with his son—adds a layer of tension that keeps the story engaging.
What really stands out in the synopsis is the forbidden atmosphere. The fact that Jeanne is living in his house and that their connection develops under those circumstances creates a constant sense of anticipation and drama. It’s the kind of setup that readers who enjoy taboo romance tropes will likely find addictive.
However, because of the nature of the relationship (ex-boyfriend’s father and a significant age gap), the story will definitely be polarizing. Some readers may struggle with the dynamic, while others who enjoy darker or more provocative romance themes will probably devour it.
Overall, based on the synopsis, this looks like a steamy, emotionally charged forbidden romance with high stakes, possessive energy, and plenty of tension. If you’re into bold romance stories that push boundaries, this one will likely keep you hooked.
This author writes like she has experience of scenes within the book. The age gap does not seem that much of a problem but the difference in perspective by the two main characters is interesting. He comes across as controlling, but she seems to accept it. The son, however, is a piece of work but does not add that much to the story. Would recommend this book and the author.
Almost DNF the book because it got so repetitive and often times it felt like reading a finance report. “Some connections transcend conventional under-standing” or “The question deserves careful consideration” or “The admission costs me nothing, truth requiring no strategic consideration.”. Also there are some plot holes. When actually their already sitting in the car, but then suddenly they're standing and in the next sentence they're driving again…
Eh. I didn't really care for the writing style, I had to push myself to finish it. After I was done I immediately forgot what I read which is odd for me.
I don't understand the whole protecting her virginity then giving it up immediately because he respected it. It wasnt an honor or privilege to him, it was a fetish. they definitely are one of those couples who will not be together after the novel.

Too many grammatical errors with even more plot hole errors. Describing a scene in one setting but then referencing another setting. I almost didn’t finish it because of the errors but if you can look past those the story is actually very good.
I totally enjoyed this age gap from the Daddy’s series. I wish there could have been a little information about how the issues of George were resolved. But overall a good read. Would I recommend! Absolutely!!!
The conversations are very rote and boring. There’s no emotions or chemistry or anything. It’s very stiff. Has the bones but definitely need a rewrite.
I think the FMC caved too quickly in the beginning, for someone who held firm for so long. I did, however, love the balancing of professional and personal boundaries.
If you read until they hook up that’s the whole book. No need to go past that point because it’s the same regurgitated story the whole way until the end.
