Be My Baby & C*me Like A Dirty Girl

by K.L. Donn

Belleana Jade is a thorn in my side.
Hired to protect her from a stalker looking a little too close,
She has no interest in me sticking to her like glue.

But those eyes.
They scream to keep her close.
To fight for her heart.

Her mouth is prickly and inventive.
Her body is desperate for my touch.

And her stalker…
They’re closer than we think.

If the only way to keep her safe is by my side, so be it. I’ll tie her to the bed if I have to and have her screaming the name of the man she belongs Vito Ruelle, every night after.

I loved this so much!!

Intense, fast paced, incredibly hot, and a happily ever after??? Sign me up!!

Vito is potentially one of the most intense MMC’s I’ve read in a long time, and I loved him so much. The literal moment he sets eyes on Stella he’s absolutely hooked. He’s going to do everything in his power to be the best version of himself for her. And he’s going to take care of her in every way possible.

Stella is sweet, shy, and so so strong. But it’s a quiet strength, one that she’s not 100% confident in but still it shines through in everything she does. I loved watching her find the confidence to love Vito, to embrace his obsession with her and grow into it.

Where Vito is strong, possessive, and a touch over the top Stella is soft, yielding, and adoring of the way that Vito loves her. They are truly a match made in heaven, I absolute loved their story!

Be My Baby & C*me Like A Dirty Girl is Book 4 in the Bad Men Possessing Good Girls Series. This is Vito and Stella's story.
I absolutely loved this book. It hooked me from the very first page!

Stella is a waitress at the Blue Heights Diner and Vito is a regular customer. When it comes to Vito, Stella can't seem to pull herself together. She gets flustered and nervous when Vito is around so she tries to avoid him at all cost. From their very first clumsy encounter he has been hooked on Stella. He watches her every move, hangs on her every word. He fell hard and fast for Stella. The moment he finally decides to make his move and convince her to give him her number and ask her out on a date he is stopped in his tracks when he stumbles upon something horrific, and in that moment everything changes and his top priority is making sure Stella is safe.
He decides then and there that nothing and no one is going to stand in his way of getting his girl and will do absolutely everything and anything to protect Stella.

Vito is possessive, protective and so obsessed when it comes to Stella and I love it. The way he loves everything about her. He is patient, loving and so sweet to her and makes her feel truly safe. He makes Stella feel beautiful and confident where she has always felt shy. You can see the way they love each other, their passion, their chemistry, the way he worships the ground she walks on. They truly are soul mates and made for one another.

If you love a book that has action, drama, tragedy, love, and a man who would do absolutely anything for his girl then this is the book for you!

Wow! What an amazing read and a page turner! This book was a pretty quick read!

Stella, a waitress, has had quite a life. Her dad left her and her mom, and her mom became quite depressed after that and turned to alcohol as a way to cope. Vito came into her work quite often, and she tried her best to avoid him. It seemed she was smitten with him though, but she wouldn’t admit it. He was persistent though. He was also bound and determined to make her his. One day two guys held up Stella’s place of work. From there, Vito knew all he wanted to do was make her his. He offered Stella’s mom help and her to move in with him. Let’s put it this way, steamy scenes are ahead. The chemistry and the way Stella gives into Vito is hot! In the end, do Stella and Vito end up together? Wait til you find out!

"“Don’t f*****g move. Don’t make a single sound. I want complete f*****g submission, is that clear, sugar?” “Yes, Daddy.”" 🥵🥵🥵 As usual K.L. Donn has done it again in my absolute favorite spicy series of hers. Then again which of her book or series isn't the best? Vito is the perfect possessive MMC to Stella's inexperienced clumsiness. I feel like the second Vito took her under his wing and the word Daddy *swoon* came out Stella was all in. Vito on the other hand knew Stella was the one for him from day one and was playing the long game that just got cut a little short. If you like a possessive, red flag MMC, DD/LG(no age play), the best of spice 🥵, a little suspense and mystery, and a clumsy, inexperienced, and curvy FMC then this is the perfect little book for you!

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Holy freaking hotness Batman!! Phew, fans self whilst trying to formulate words for this review!
This author has done it again! Given me exactly what I needed at the time I needed it. I am here for it all!
Vito *chef’s kiss! You may have met him or heard of him before? If not, well, surprise!!
Vito and Stella together melted EVERYTHING!! These two are sweetness and fire!! And I want to read their story all over again!! Which if you know me, I will be reading and re-reading for eternity!!
Five mahoosive stars for this!!!

Stella can't wait on the gorgeous man who comes in a couple times a week. He flusters her, causing her to drop food, etc, which isn't a great look for a waitress. So she avoids him while Vito bides his time, hoping she will give into temptation and make him a very happy man. When the unthinkable happens, Vito immediately surrounds Stella with protection and support. Loved watching these two find their happiness. Stella is so sweet and a perfect match for Vito. They are a beautiful couple and this was such a fun read, cannot wait for more in this series!

KL Donn delivers again with another gripping installment in the Bad Men Possessing Good Girls series. The men are as wicked as ever, and the fast-paced, steamy storytelling makes these quick reads absolutely addicting. Each book packs plenty of excitement into a short span, and I’ve enjoyed every one so far. If you’re looking for a spicy, satisfying escape, this series is definitely worth your time.

[Nina · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you want a little plot with a lot of spice then you need this book!
Vito keeps coming around Stella without fully making a move until he’s forced to. My heart broke for Stella at the beginning but Vito is there to be her rock and give her all the good life has to offer (if you know what I’m saying).
This is a great short, steamy read for when you need a palate cleanser or something for in between books.
Ms. Donn is the queen of short and steamy!

[Amanda M · Rating 5 out of 5]

This author delivers an excellent narrative in this one. The characters were amazing and the spice between them was spicing. It's a quick fast-paced page turner that held my attention from start to finish. I liked how it started but more than that I loved, loved the ending.

[Amber Pickerill · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stella might be inexperienced, but Vito knows she's the one. Tragedy strikes and Vito refuses to wait another day to make Stella know how he feels.
It's insta love, but action packed. Quick and spicy read.

[Jedi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Vito was just about to make his move when tragedy struck, but nothing was going to stand in his way, it just made him more determine than ever to protect his Baby girl - Stella.

Lots of spice, and excitement!

[Amber · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stella and Vito make sure a cute couple. Vito knew he wanted Stella when he first saw her. Stella was nervous and unsure but likes Vito. Their relationship progresses rapidly when Vito helps Stella out. He not just helps Stella but also her mom. Give this book a read. You can't go wrong!

[FHR · Rating 4 out of 5]

By coming into Stella’s workplace often, Vito has become a stable in Stella’s life. However, Stella is nervous around him and doesn’t seem to know how to deal with her attraction towards him.
When a bad situation causes Vito step up him timeline Stella finds herself a knight in shining armour.

A quick read with bits of action, passion and a HEA.
With cameos from previous characters, this is an enjoyable read.

Vito and Stella are an amazing couple. It was basically love at first sight. After a traumatic experience Stella and Vito find themselves in a whirlwind relationship. I love the epilogs as well.

I enjoyed reading this delightfully good novella by KL who is a one click author for me. I loved the dynamic between Stella and Vito. This novella was well written and just so enjoyable.

[Rima-Chan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Delicious short novella full of smut.
A ruthless daddy that decides to take over and a good girl that's eager to have someone take care of her.

I've always loved Kl Donn's books, and this one was no exception.
We have shy (at first) Stella, and Vito as the main characters. Stella lives with and helps out her mom while also working at diner, where she meets Vito. Something happened at the diner, and you have to read the book to find out more. You won't be disappointed. It's a great novella with spice, possession, a HEA, and maybe a daddy or two thrown in 😉.
