Love, Daddy #2

Mastering Her Heart

Rate this book
The night Willow Wilson walks through the doors of my private club, all my self-control vanishes. I am known as Lord Tower, master and owner of a discreet establishment where fantasies become a reality. Years ago when fate first brought Willow to me, she was my step-daughter. She called me Daddy, then. And she will again if I have my way. In the time since we’ve been apart, she’s only grown more beautiful. Her lush curves have filled out. Her heart calls to me. And I will have her even if I have to kick down the very doors of hell to make her mine. Right or wrong. But even Lords have weaknesses. And she is the one for which I will give everything, even if it means letting her go. Again. Author Never fear, this book is still as safe as can be. There is as much darkness in this hot little read as there is light. As much swoony sweetness and steamy sexiness as you expect. But be warned, this Daddy is done waiting and his princess is about to be claimed.

Since 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

descriptionThis is a fairly nice cover. The dude isn't exactly how I pictured the hero, but he is hot so who cares! The composition is slightly off for me. I think the text is stretched too wide and is placed too low. That said I do like the mix of the two fonts used for the title.description

descriptionI really enjoyed this one. Personally, I think the author does her best writing when she ventures into "daddy kink." On top of that this one ran on the longer side of novella length allowing for more story.

Oh it was still very "insta" everything and in my opinion would have been that much better had it been fleshed out even more. I especially would have liked to have seen some BDSM elements since the hero owned a sex club and was a Dom. I felt this angle of the story was a little lacking and would have preferred the author had spent more page time in that direction than the direction she chooses with the "baddies plotline." But like I said I enjoyed it for what it was.

description

If you love daddy kink, then this book is for you. If you love insta-love than this book is for you. If you love a hero that has been celibate since he met the heroine than this book is for you. If you are in a mood for a quick smutty read than this book is for you.description

VERY UPSET RIGHT NOW AND I MAY NEVER READ ANOTHER DANI BOOK!

Tried and failed at 57%

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!

THE HEROINE WAS RAPED AND IT WAS HER FIRST TIME TOO!


Of course this happened before the book took place but we are still expose to it.
Here is her recap of the events

The day after the party when Derrick was on top of me, his hand over my mouth and my innocence stolen from me, I’d cried to her. Cried my eyes out. Sobbed and tore at my hair as she sat behind her desk, her arms crossed, telling me in an admonishing tone, ‘These things happen, Willow. You can’t just put yourself in the position to tempt a man, then expect him to not take what he needs. Especially when you are drunk. Willow, really. Just let this go. You are as much at fault as Derrick. More so, in fact.’


OMG I'M CRYING!
WHY DID YOU DO THIS?

description

BTW she wasn't drunk and it wasn't taken care of but sweep under the rug by her mother. How could her mother do that to her? What kind of monster does this to her own child?
And how did the hero not know!? Didn't he keep an eye on her during the years apart?

description

DONE!

I'm really hurt beyond anything right now, and I don't think that I will ever be able to read another book by this author.

These things should come with a label.
My Saturday is ruined so thanks a lot here!!!

Trigger warning are very important in books for this reason.
And I can't even say how this book disappointed me.

This was the perfect book for my mood since I was looking for something short and sexy. The plot was pretty loose and didn't really keep my attention, but the overall story and heat factor is what had me captivated. In the bedroom these characters had a great connection and I'll definitely recommend this book for that alone. Honestly I don't really have anything else to say about it; it was sexy and interesting, and I would read more from this author.

4.5 stars - daddy kink galore

I absolutely loved this. Dare I say it was my favorite Dani Wyatt book to date!

Pike, that sexy beast. Honorable to his word, faithful and sexy as all get out. Now THAT is a man! He found himself in a tough situation when he honored a pact with his friend from high school. Little did he know that pact would lead him to the love of his life - her young daughter. I respected that Pike did what he had to do and removed himself from temptation -even though it broke Willow's heart. Once she was back again thought, he knew he would never let her go.

Willow was the victim of her mother's mechanations. She was used as a pawn by the horrid woman. Yet, she turned out to be a sweet, kind soul. I liked her as a heroine. I also appreciated that she didn't push Pike away because he broke her heart in the past.

-hot sexy older alpha hero
-sweet, kind younger heroine
-steamy sex scenes with daddy kink (very well done)
-no pushing away once that are reunited
-no cheating
-no ow drama
-om drama - a guy that assaulted her in high school attempted it again. He was never a boyfriend, he pursued her relentlessly
-HEA with a really good epilogue. BUT the only thing I wanted was to hear more about their future family. I was disappointed to not know how their family grew. That is what kept this from being 5 stars for me

3* always daddy's princess STARS!

This was my first read from Dani Wyatt and I'm more than intrigued because the kink. Daddy/lg has been one of my fave theme for sweet escape. Although I admit Mastering Her Heart has similarity with a certain book , but I liked this more. It feels a bit realistic.

Pike Richards's marriage based on lies and business. There is no love; except when his step-daughter, Willow Wilson captivate him instantly. Pike left because she was far too young for him. Six years later, he's still lusting over Willow. This time, he determined to get her back. To love and fight for her.

Willow has been living her life out of her mother's influence. She's independent and hard working woman. But inside, Willow is still longing for her step-father. Bottom line, she's easily likable person. Pike known as Lord Tower, a famous club owner and the most eligible man only wants a certain woman in mind. He managed to invite Willow to 'seduce' her.
“I am hungry.... But not for food.  I’m hungry for your cunt, my sweet princess.  Your Daddy is going to spread those legs and taste what’s his.  Are you ready for that?”
description

I really enjoyed their chemistry. It was raw filled with desperation. Mutual feelings. Pike asked for her forgiveness and she gave in. He couldn't handle the lust between them anymore. Of course, Pike isn't just a regular vanilla guy. The Daddy's kink quite convincing for me. Absolutely HOT with dirty talks.
“We’ve been fighting this for so long.  You are Daddy’s good girl. You have been for a long time.  Don’t worry.  It’s just us now.  You’re going to cum in Daddy’s mouth, my sweet princess, and that’s all you need to worry about from now on.  You will give me all your cum.”

Willow was so over the moon with Pike but there's a ghost from the past haunted her back. Willow tried to face it again but this time, Pike became her knight. He slayed all dragons, save the princess and happily ever after. Overall, it is a good short story but didn't enough to wow me. Just a quickie sexy book. Still, satisfying enough with a load of cums ;)
“Look at Daddy... You know what I need from you, baby? What would make Daddy so, so happy?”
“Cum on Daddy’s cock.  That’s what I need.  For you to cum on me.  And you want to give me what I need, don’t you?”

Safety/ Trigger Note: There is NO descriptive rape or flashbacks of it in the book. Her rape (with no penetration) was in the past (hence why I TAGGED as ABUSED HEROINE), off page, but she does give hints of what happened, to give context us context to her mother's monstrous behavior in regard of that heartbreaking situation. So, there is no rape, but the heroine was abused in the past, if that is a trigger for you somehow, then this is not for you. If not, and LIKE ME, only DESCRIPTIVE rape, on page, or descriptive flashback are your trigger, then you can read it, and enjoy the daddy kink. In case of doubt you can shoot me a message and I'll gladly clear any doubts.

Though I'm still waiting for "Baby"..I CANT BE MORE EXCITED FOR SOME MORE OF #Dailydaddy lovin' from Dani. Hoping this rocks!

Sweet love story of daddy Pike and his girl Willow.
Pike married Margaret, a ruthless businesswoman and a lesbian as a contract. What he doesn't expect to meet is her sweet daughter Willow and fall for her.
Years later, she's all grown up and they meet again. They've been waiting for each other all these years- and she's had a heartbreaking tragedy in her past.
But daddy takes care of it all.
Absolutely adore the cover. It's so hot.
This would be the absolute treat for dd/lg lovers. I really wanted the mom to suffer more.
Averagely sweet love making scenes between the two and a nice epilogue.
Safe
3.5/5

Pretty good short story

This one is a pretty good short story from Dani Wyatt. About an older former stepfather in love with his younger former stepdaughter. Like had oh married Willow's mother to be her beard so she could become a partner at her law firm and hide the fact she is a lesbian.

This was a really good, short read! Pike was so sweet and really liked Willow too. Although I liked the book, the "daddy" part of the book just didn't flow that well to me. I feel like the word was just stuck in there at random times so it could be daddy kink. Other than that though, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

OMG! DD/LG at its best! I loved this story written by Dani Wyatt. It has a fantastic plot full of suspense, mystery, passion and love. It is a story of two people who truly love each other but they are being kept apart by this villainous witch –there is some really great kinky action that takes place in this book. The Hero is one strong alpha male and the heroine is a beautiful and sweet woman who has endured so much. Their relationship is very much Forbidden but that doesn’t stop their love.
Pike and Willow's relationship is one that will grab you from page 1. The up and downs that they go thru to get to their HEA is one that kept me glued the entire story. Many people tried to keep them apart but they still were able to find their way back to each other and their love grew and stayed super strong. Where can I find a daddy like Pike? Seriously, he is hot and so dominant, I want him!! If you haven’t read a book by Ms Wyatt, then this is the book to start with.

My rating: 4.8 stars ****

This one was a reallll forbidden Romance.

Pike made a business pack with a old friend long ago so they can marry and have what they want in business, and he was cool with that he didn't want a woman or care for his friend until he spots his friends daughter.
Shes 16 at the time and he knows he can't do anything he last until she turns 18 and he divorces the mom to get away of the temptation of Willow and a problem that someone try to blackmail him... but he still keeps a PI to watch over her for awhile.

Willow was heartbroken but moved forward trying to forget the man who seemed like the only person in the world beside her grandmother who cared for her. Years later she had to deal with a horrible event but she pushed forward trying to forget, she goes with a few friends to this bdsm club which she didn't know was one & didn't know her former step-father owned it. Sparks fly when they are reunited but they also have to deal with Willows past coming back to haunt her.

Low agnst, No ow drama slight om drama, no cheating, drama, sexy times, no virgins or manwhores

oooooo! baby what a HOT story, Willow goes with her friends to a private club she wasn't sure what she was going to walk into but turns out the owner Lord Tower is her ex-stepdad. She remembers him well and knew he meant something more but he walked out of her life before anything would happened. Pike knew his feelings for his step-daughter when he left but didn't want to risk anything happen that can hurt anyone, to his surprise she shows up at his club. One kiss and they were hooked but someone doesn't want them together and Willow and Daddy (pike) fight to overcome everything to have their happy ending.

No. it could have been soooo good but it just didn't work.

Pike (owns sex club) was married to Willow's (fashion assistant or something) mom for convenience sake. He fell instantly for his step-daughter, until he left for reasons yadda yadda.

So it's a Daddy kink and it started off ok but then got tangled in all this ridiculous plot that just muddied the waters and I completely lost interest. Surprisingly, not nearly as much good sex as you would expect in a daddy kink book.

I don't recommend it at all, but I'm still giving it 2 for trying.

Genres: Romance, Daddy Kink, Older man/younger woman


Dani Wyatt always manages to make me smile with her over-the-top sexy, dirty talking alpha heroes. Her novels are short and sweet and I usually read them on or close to release day. From start to finish, I enjoyed this somewhat taboo novel. Pike was Willow's step-father. There is a story there that I won't go into so you can enjoy it for yourself. Don't worry though, it's not high on the creepy scale.

The blurb pretty much sums up the premise of this book so I won't repeat that. I will say there is a bit of angst and mystery but that is easily and quickly resolved.

Pike owns an exclusive, invitation only, sex club. Knowing that, I admit to being a little disappointed that there was no venture into BDSM. Pike was certainly dominant enough and I believe that Willow would have been receptive if he wanted to 'play.'

But holy smokes! Pike was a sexy older man and Willow was one lucky, lucky girl! There were some steamy, sexy, erotic moments in this book. By the end of this book I was giddy. For lack of a better word.....that was exactly how I felt. Couldn't stop smiling. I mean...come on...only in these cheesy, awesome, insta-love novels do we get to vicariously. ;)

One more time for good measure.....I loved that sexy Pike Richards!! <3

"His house, his rules.”

MASTERING HER HEART, a sweet and sultry romance with feels galore, is my first book by Dani Wyatt but it most certainly will not be my last!!! As soon as I read the blurb for this sinfully taboo tale, I knew I HAD to read it!!

Years ago, wealthy business magnate Pike Richards (aka Lord Towers ) was married to Willow Bainbridge's mother Margaret in name only. He had always shared an incredibly special bond with his stepdaughter but then his feelings of exquisite tenderness for the lovely young woman morphed into forbidden desire!

"When she was young, my calling to her was that of a predator protecting its own. But as she blossomed into a woman, even as those protective instincts remained, they were topped with a longing I’d never felt before. A yearning for something that lay long dormant in me. She awakened my beast and nothing will ever slake his lust but her flesh."

The last thing he EVER wanted to do was to hurt his precious girl, and he knew he would destroy her if he stayed, so he did the honorable thing and walked away, shattering his sweet stepdaughter's heart in the process.

FF to the present when fate brings them together again at the House of Tower, Pike's exclusive BDSM club. The moment their eyes lock, an electric rush zaps through them. Pike's platonic marriage to her mom, Margaret, dissolved years ago and now his overwhelming feelings for his Willow can no longer be denied! He has not touched another woman in years because "she changed everything for me the day she swept my heart from my chest with a single glance!"

Seeing her with her friends at the House of Tower initially angers him because he knows the beguiling innocent does not belong in his club and the thought of other men putting their hands on her, or even LOOKING at her, fills him with red-hot fury. Willow was always destined to be HIS and now nothing will prevent him from claiming his beguiling princess, lavishing her with love and tenderness, and taking her to the heights of pleasure BEYOND HER WILDEST DREAMS!

"It’s a fantasy that has played over and over in my mind, millions of times. I want to taste her. To take her into myself in every way. Her flesh between my teeth as her cries of pain and desire fill my ears. I want to love her and hurt her and own her and care for her, in ways most would not understand. She is a prize I’ve waited too long to claim."

And stake a claim on her he does!!

At first Willow tries to deny her hopeless desire for Pike because she does not want to be dependent on anyone ever again, and has a fierce need to be independent and break free from her mother's stifling control. But she has been haunted by dreams of her former stepdaddy for years and being in his commanding presence brings out the love-starved little girl in her. Deep down she yearns desperately for the safety, solace and sweet paradise she can discover in Pike's strong, masterful embrace.

"Tell Daddy you want his kisses, princess. The kisses he’s been saving just for you. Special kisses that will make you his forever.”

Yet even as their blazing, all-consuming craving spreads through them like wildfire, dark skeletons and looming scandal threatens to shatter both their worlds! Can Lord Tower slay his precious princess's dragons before she is wrenched out of his arms forever?

Ahhhh!!!!! MASTERING HER HEART was pure, decadent guilty pleasure at its best! This delightfully taboo love story is so gloriously filthy and achingly sweet, and the chemistry between Pike and his beloved Willow was so scorching hot I nearly COMBUSTED! I was swept up in this wickedly wanton tale from page one and was breathless with excitement throughout!

Dani Wyatt clearly excels at drawing readers in with an enticing fusion of steamy erotica and sigh-worthy romance, and while I was titillated by the deliciously dirty interludes, I was just as enamored by the exquisite tenderness that flowed between this dynamic duo as well!!! I I have a thing for kinky Daddy Dom tales and the suave, sexy as sin Pike made me so weak in the knees I secretly yearned to be adored and cherished the same way he loves his sweet Willow! True, his soul-burning lust for her bordered on OTT obsession but I personally found his addiction to her INCREDIBLY HOT!!!!!

"She is mine to protect, completely. Her body. Her heart. Her soul."

The author's engaging and sensually-charged style was incredibly alluring and I think there was the ideal blend of sizzling heat, swoony romance and edge of your seat drama to keep my heart racing!!! I also liked the emotional evolution of these characters, especially Willow, who learns to stand up to her overbearing mama, embrace her true desires and become a woman who is strong and independent but also vulnerable enough to surrender her heart to her dominant daddy as well.

Final verdict? This tantalizingly taboo tale Mastered MY Heart!

Hello, *waves* my name is Laura and I’m going through a Daddy Dom book phase at the moment *blushes*

“I know in this instant… never again will I live without her light in my life.”

I first came across Dani Wyatt’s work last year with the release of Perfect where I instantly fell in love with the cover. It was a break from the norm and came at a time when I was looking for a quick insta-love read with a side of dirty, and it fit the bill, well, perfectly.

So, with that in mind, and the aforementioned phase I’m going through, I couldn’t wait to read Pike Aka Lord Tower and Willow’s story. And, wowzer, was it a doozy!

It ticked all the boxes for me; it was chock full of all the insta-love, swoontastic, dirty-liciousness my heart could desire. Le sigh – I’d happily call Pike, Daddy, any day of the week *snorts* I love my men in books to have an edge *winks*

“I want to love her and hurt her and own her and care for her, in ways most would not understand.”

Oh, trust me, I absolutely understand…

Sorry, where was I? Oh, yes, back to the story. It’ll melt your heart and your panties *smirks* Probably both at the same time, so best not read in public *winks* Know what I mean? *snorts*

Also, thought for the day – anyone else wish they made certain covers in 3D? *snorts*

I received a copy of Mastering Her Heart by Dani Wyatt via the PR company in exchange for an unbiased and honest review.
I’ve quickly became a massive fan of Dani and her insanely hot books. Every time I finish one of her books I need to take a cold shower to calm me down as her books are hot as hell.

Dani's books may be quick reads but they are packed with insta lust, insta love, drama, twists and turns that you can’t help but love and want to pester her for more. Pike and Willow were AMAZING together. I love the whole Daddy thing it’s definitely one of those genres that Dani can do really well. I loved how alpha protective Pike was of Willow that made me swoon for him and I loved how Willow at times kept Pike on his toes.

Honestly I simply loved this book from start to finish and I especially loved the epilogue my heart melted I just loved it. Massive well done Dani and I can’t wait to see what you have planned for me in your next release.
