Dream Daddy

Rate this book
Untouched and unmarked by the world, Lola Ray is the sunshine that I never thought I needed in my life. She’s a petal on a cherry blossom tree aching to be plucked. I long to caress her, to make her mine. To bind her to me and let her beg for my love. I know it's wrong... she is after all my best friend's daughter. But as I look closer, as I start to give in to temptation, I begin to see the scars she's so desperate to hide.  They run deep. Like an abyss she cannot escape. A nightmare that never ends. Scars so raw that I’m not sure she can ever be healed.  However there is one thing that I know has the chance to make her whole again, and I won’t stop until I make all her dreams come true. Author's Dream Daddy (72k words) is a standalone steamy dark romance. It contains no cliffhangers, no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.

Title: Dream Daddy
Author: Emilia Beaumont

4 unexpected stars



Dd/lg genre novels are coming more and more popular, and i try to read as many as possible because no matter what, the social stigma always comes into play and takes away the beautiful side of this type of relationship. Also, good and even amazing books describing these relationships are very difficult to find since most often than not, you have many depicting the many kinks that are from one extreme to another which usually turns so many off, fueling the stigma. Emilia Beaumont's Dream Daddy tells the story of Lola Ray and Mack, Lola Ray's father's best friend. And i do use that last term very loosely - the two men used to be football mates in high school until Mack tried to protect someone he loved and landed in jail. Once he was released, he returned home and found out that only one person would give him a hand in starting life once again, Lola's father. Every sunday Mack would make his way to their home and watch the game until Lola Ray decided to take matters in her own hands and tempt the man into taking what she's reserved just for him: her virginity.

4.5 sexy dreams



Their relationship is very steamy and sexy... there's no denying that one single bit. Lola Ray happens to be everything that i never thought she would be: devious, strong, seductive and so very much in need of a hero that Mack is the only man to fit the bill. There were many surprises that i never expected, which fueled my curiosity in finding out what would happen between these two lovers especially considering everything that they have to go through and everything that is working to keep them separated. As much as my curiosity was at an all time high, there were still parts that kept me so confused, keeping from truly loving this book and that is mostly from too many polar opposites in one person: one moment Lola Ray is the reserved, shy and reluctant, and the next moment she's manipulative, devious and the seductress waiting to catch her man. Mack, on the other hand, seemed to be too reserved and too on the outsides, not rising to the full potential of what i would have expected from him. There were so many moments when he could have done more, but he didn't, afraid of what would happen to him on the side of justice. It left me wanting. Maybe for something more. I'm not even sure at this point, but i'm still sure that there is so much more that Emilia Beaumont has to offer and i'm sure that i'll be looking forward to reading more from her in the future.

A older man, younger woman budding romance in the making.
Lola Ray has always had a secret crush on her dad's best friend Mack. Every time he is over, she knows she can get in trouble from her dad if he catches her in the act. So to keep the peace, she plays the dutiful daughter. But underneath it all, she is tired of being the supposedly perfect daughter and still getting a beating for it. When will it all end? But seeing Mack before her birthday and the present she got. She knows just how.
Mack... I always wanted her. Staying away from her was the best bet. But after a pleasant surprise during a super bowl party at her dad's house. I can't stay away any longer. Only how will I get her into my bed, and still stay in one piece from her dad Will. But where there's a will, there is a way.... But how?

Dream Daddy = Insanity

You have the young woman being raised by an abusive father that no one likes but is a paradox because his reputation is everything to him. The young woman, Lola Ray, has daddy issues with a hidden love for violence. Her love interest is supposedly her father's best friend, which, I guess is true, but Mack doesn't really like Lola's dad. Anyway, all the characters are crazy. I am talking certifiable. Lola Ray is mischievous and straight up evil. She flat out manipulates and frames people to avoid consequences without remorse. She is 100% gleeful! Mack thinks of killing LR's dad often, he has a dark side, he is super controlling (in a bad way), and super jealous to the point of stalking. Sam seems to be a younger version of LR's father, and LR's father is controlling, abusive, and hateful. I am slightly worried about this author, to be frank....

The second novel, something about a billionaire stepmother, it was better, but it still fell short for me. Lex is controlling and horrible in the beginning. He takes her phone and clothes for several weeks, and she isn't allowed to let people see her, and she LIKES IT! Maybe it was partially Stockholm Syndrome, but she was begging him not to leave. Pretty backwards,if you ask me. She couldn't do anything for herself. She was enrolled in Oxford, but I couldn't really find any personality other than desperate attachments and mopey. The best friend, I was confused over her motives. I guess she was just a dumb best friend.

Anyway, it was a huge miss for me.

What can I say? Incredible, Kinky, Hot, Erotic, Beyond Belief... where can I get me a Daddy? Seriously, Dream Daddy is one of those books that will knock your socks off and keep you guessing. The story is of a almost woman named Lola Ray who has ALWAYS had this major crush/ love thing going on about her dad's best friend named Mack. Every time he is over, she ends up doing something that gets her dad mad at her but in Lola's mind, its worth it. But there is something more going on than just the normal older man/younger woman plot. There is depth and character to Lola- she goes thru so much in regards to her home life and all that she has to hide. Then we have Mack-- we don't know much about him until the story starts to get underway and even then its hidden and shadowed. What is shown is his hunger and attraction for Lola. He has been plotting to take his naughty "little" girl and so much planning has gone underway and when her birthday happens, WOW the story really gets going.

This is full of energy, lights, sizzle, chemistry, heat...I don't want to give too much but this JUST isn't a normal Older man/ younger woman story or a DD/lg story line...its way more than that. All I can say is, you have to read this story and savor it, get ready for the roller coaster of emotions, of actions and twists /turns that happen. I cant wait to see what Ms. Beaumont has next.

My rating: 4.9 stars ****

Engrossing and unputdownable…..5+stars!

This story is not everyone’s cup of tea. It’s a bit dark but satisfying, as it has such a delicious and concise plot. I tend to get all tingly with goose bumps when I read older man/younger woman, role-play themed stories. And not in a good way. Only because the female in the story is portrayed as young, naive, and silly, and mindless and just happy to go along with whatever “He” wants with little consideration to what makes her happy.

What I like about Lola Ray is that her character has depth. Meaning, yes, she is young, naive, sometimes silly, as would an eighteen year old, but her character shows strength in tolerating an unhappy situation. Yet she holds the capacity for hope and affection. Maturity is something forced on Lola Ray at an early age, she has to endure an abusive, controlling father, and horrible family life, basically a servant in her father’s house. But her father’s best friend is someone she wants, and she’s showing every bit of her naughty girly bits to seduce him. Lola Ray’s single-minded pursuit of Mack is driving the poor man crazy-hot with all her dirty flirtations. Huh, but she’s no match for what Mack has on his filthy mind.

Maddox McClane hides a past. He’s lucky to be offered a job by his best friend from high school. But his daughter is irresistible and driving him out of control with desire. It doesn’t matter that he’s twice her age, Lola Ray is everything he never knew he needed. Sweet, naughty, and malleable for his kinky lifestyle. Mack introduces Lola Ray to BDSM. The sizzle and sexual energy is scorching, and combustible. Mack is everything a true dom/daddy should be: assertive, decisive in his punishment, controlling, but can be gentle and cherish her. Lots of mind games. Includes rough play.

Ms. Beaumont has a winner in Dream Daddy. She weaves an exquisite plot with BDSM elements, in-depth characterization, steamy dialogue, emotional intensity, sexual tension, and a thrilling ending. It’s equal parts plot and scorching, kinky goodness. I enjoyed how well all the elements of this romance blend into a spellbinding story. Dream Daddy is told in dual POVs so you get different perspective of the same scene and every dark kinky thought from Mack and Lola Ray. I was surprised by that mind blowing reveal towards the end, but so glad things ended the way it did. I won’t soon forget this story.

An Awesome Read!

I loved reading Dream Daddy, all about Lola Ray Saxton a seventeen year old girl who has a crush on her dads best friend Maddox McClaine. He lives behind us in a house that he rents, and he has been friends with my dad since grade school. They were on the football team together in high school, and he works for my dad in his construction company. He comes over to our house every time there's a football game on or any other type of sports and watches with my dad, and I'm expected to keep them in ice cold beer and snacks the entire time! I don't mind because I can then openly stare at Max, once my dad gets so caught up in the game he's no longer paying attention! Unbeknownst to me, Max also has a crush on me, but even more he wants to protect me from my dad, because he sees how I'm treated and it isn't with respect! The author wrote a wild store, their is so much emotion and so much sadness go on for one young girl to endure it almost seems like her facade is about to crack! Read this story it was very well written! There was another story included called Billionaire Stepbrother, and it's all about Aimee a nineteen year old girl who has just finished high school and is going to UNI in the fall specifically Oxford! So her mom just married Billionaire Michael Chamberlin and they are off on a three month holiday/honeymoon around the world. Aimee is expected to stay home in the penthouse, have fun with her friends, do some major shopping for opening day and listen to her Stepbrother Alexandre, since he is in charge! After finding out she has a babysitter she stomps off and slams her bedroom door, never wishing her parents a good time on their trip! This story was also full of adventure and was a real page turner from start to finish!
I enjoyed reading both story's and I hope you will as well!

Hummmmm....now I will be honest and though this sounded a hot read I wasn't convinced by the aspect of the relationship but, once again I am proved wrong and am SO glad I read this one! Emilia Beaumont reaches out and hooks you in from page one as usual and her talent of weaving great characters and a brilliantly intense plot means you certainly will not regret reading this book!

Lola Ray is a young and naive woman but who is secretly struggling with the secrets behind closed doors. Mack is a naturally dominant man who has struggled with his own issues and is fighting to rebuild his life. Mack knows he shouldn't really be attracted to his best friend's daughter but there is no denying the hot and intense attraction between him and Lola Ray and her vulnerability ignites his Daddy Dom personality.

This story is nicely paced and has many a twist and turn to keep you guessing what way this will end. It is dark in places as we are shown just how strong Lola Ray is and what she has struggled with but as with other books by Emilia, it is so intricately woven into the story that it simply adds to the passionate and loving story.

I loved Lola Ray and Mack. I loved how they interacted and the sex scenes were equally steamy and romantic. The relationship they develop throughout the book is beautifully written and makes you warm inside - for more than just one reason!

Certainly add this to your TBR pile...maybe somewhere near the top! You don't want to miss out on this one!

This is one Deliciously Dark & Dirty Read!

I received an Advance Reader Copy for Dream Daddy by Emilia Beaumont and voluntarily reviewed this book. Mack lives right next door to his boss and best friend, Will, the old high-school buddy who gave him a second chance when he moved back into town. He has been on tenterhooks, however, because he has such wicked, wicked thoughts about Will's daughter, Lola Ray, and he is always over at their house to watch a football game or to share a meal. She appears to feel the same about him, though, because he seems to be constantly, deliberately, and so deliciously teased by this barely legal girl that he is always teetering on the thinnest razor edge, barely leashed. The buildup of sexual tension was so thick between Lola Ray and Mack...until one day, Mack just could not hold back, especially when the reason for the haunted look in her eyes slowly becomes revealed. He has a past of his own, but he wants to make a new life with her now.

Wow, I really loved this book! This is a new author for me, but I will definitely wishlist her other stories! The story was more than I expected, so well written and so delicious to read!

I did warn her, I told myself. She had no clue what she was doing when she pursued me. And now with her father coming down the hallway, she was either going to run to tell him and cause my whole world to come crashing in or she was going to be a good little girl...one with potential.

So this book was not what I expected. I have to say the foreplay and the dirty talking definitely led to an interesting page turner. Jealousy, lies, and sensual thrills revolve around this taboo couple. Mack is a daddy’s best friend you’d love hanging around. Lola Ray wants what she wants and she has no morals when it comes to Mack. He’s everything she’s ever wanted and even though he resists, only for a little while, when he does give in its simply hot and dirty. A controlling and vicious father keeps her at his beck and call creating tension for everyone. I really enjoyed this naughty little daddy book by Emilia Beaumont, I’ll definitely be looking forward to reading her other books.

Oh what a very fascinating, intricate story. Lots of twists and turns and secrets revealed you will be soooo surprised.
All Maddox (Mack) McClane wants in life is to work hard, find a woman to love and some peace of mind. After a stint in jail for protecting his sister, he just wants to get back to a normal life. What he gets is a sexy little neighbour, well his friend and boss Will’s daughter Lola Ray. Now the fun begins. Will, it turns out is not the man he thought he was and Lola Ray having more than feelings for him. Two people trying to have a relationship and not getting caught but it’s not that simple .
This is better than an Agatha Christie plot. Lots of lust, passion, secrets, abuse, lies, drama and so much more. Brilliant story, loved it

I've read similar books to this one. Dad's friend is in love with the younger daughter, usually, the daughter is a college student and not a high school senior. But in this book, Lola Ray is on the verge of turning 18 and has the hots for her dad's work buddy, Mack. And Mack has the hots for her too. Va-Va-Voom!

The end was a totally surprise for me, I really didn't see that coming. The plot was a little shaky for me. Things just didn't line up and I kept thinking, holy crap you are digging yourself deeper into a hole. Some of the stuff Lola Ray did, I understood 100%, other things WTF came to mind.

I received this book for free through Goodreads Giveaways and have chosen to give my honest opinion about it.
I'll be honest, while I do love novels like this, the tone of this one set me off a bit. I'm a generous reviewer when it comes to books, as I'm easily pleased, and romance novels like this always make me a very interested reader, however, sometimes I felt like characters were losing their objectives in this novel, to the point where I felt uncomfortable reading. Perhaps the whole "daddy" concept lost its touch part way into the book. Still, a decent read.

Great read

an absolutely enjoyable read.
A rollercoaster of emotions and lovable characters.
This Was well written. A few spelling mistakes along the way, but nothing that takes away from the story. And a bonus story as well that I actually enjoyed reading more than the story titled. Not sure why, except the characters and their story called to me more.
It is a very passionate read and a happy ending.
I think I have found a new favourite amongst my favourite authors.

a really good story. I like these kind of stories with older men and younger women. He wants her in every way. But how does he do that? What you see on the outside that looks so good may be a cover for something. I highly recommend this. It kept my attention all the way through. I was given a review copy and voluntarily review it.

If you are looking for a super steamy, hot, sexy read with some twists and turns then Dream Daddy is the book for you. Emilia Beaumont did a fantastic job with the story line and the characters. I was hooked from page one. Mack and Lola Ray were amazing. Mack's best friend is Lola Ray's Dad who has helped him by giving him a job when he came back to town after being in jail. Lola Ray just turned 18 years old and has a mad crush on Mack. She wants him to be her first and tries to grab his attention any way she can. Will she succeed and get Mack's attention. Will Mack give in to Lola Ray or resist the temptation. Find out by picking up your copy and reading this fantastic book you will not be disappointed.

Lola Ray has fallen for her father's closest friend. Mack knows he's to old for his friend and employers daughter, but he finds it harder and harder to resist her advances. When he sees the evidence of her father's physical abuse, he will be determined to find a way to get Lola Ray away from her father and in life and his bed. Lola Ray is very smart, devious and has her own plan to free herself from from her father's control. I really enjoyed this book but I thought that Lola Ray, while I could understand her motivation, played a very dangerous and reckless game with other people's lives. I thought that Mack was a man who lived with regrets, but was determined to protect the young woman he wants to love. This is a dark, must read book. Fantastic!

This is the first time I have read any of this authors work, but my goodness, it will definitely not be the last. Lola is 18 years old, and is being abused by her father. Lola has always has a secret crush on her dads best friend Mack, and is determined with a pursuit to catch him, which is driving the poor man crazy. There has always been a strong and intense attraction between them, but will they finally give into their desires? You really need to read this book for yourself to find out. No spoilers from me!
This is a well written storyline, which has twists & turns, and hot sex. I look forward to reading more of this authors work, and I recommend her work for all older man/younger woman lovers.

Wow.. This book was so much more than I thought it would be. Lola Ray has know clue what she is getting herself into. I just hate what she had to endure at home. Mack was truly a godsend in more ways than one. The chemistry between them was undeniable and the scenes in this book will have you panting. The ending was perfect for them.

This story was a little intense, but I liked it! Lola Ray is young and sometimes naive, but she knows what she wants and it's Mack, her father's best friend. Mack was awesome. He's all male and very dominate. He saves Lola Ray from the abuse from her father. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Lola pretends to be happy in her home but her father is abusive. She falls for his friend Mack but knows that her father would really hurt her if he knew. Mack wants her too but feels it is wrong to get involved. It could also get him into trouble.

Their attraction is so strong and they can only resit for so long. They have great chemistry and the sex scenes are really intense. I really liked how protective he is of her. I wanted her father to get what he deserves but not if it jeopardizes their relationship.

This book has it all in this older man younger woman story. An abusive drunken father, an eighteen year old virgin high school students, a football quarterback, father's best friend and employee who did time for murder and is on parole, missing mother, and murder. That is alot.
At to!mes it may be hard to continue and you may be upset with the main male character but just continue on and you will not be disappointed.

Amazing

Wow wow wow. This book blew me away with the love those two had. They both wanted each other so much. But they had to wait and it just made it so much better when he could finally have her. He saved her and made her know what love really was.

This was a little darker and surprised me. Lola Ray is not too sweet and innocent, she's pretty smart and a little twisted with what she wants. She wants daddy's friend. He wants her too but feels he can't have her. It's sexy, has some surprises. I enjoyed this. It was interesting and hot and unexpected. I received an arc of this.

Living in the dark



This is my first book by Beaumont. Though I wasn't over the moon with this story, it held my attention enough to finish and peaked my attention enough to attempt another book by this author. This is a dark erotic romance with elements of BDSM. While not for me, the author does a good job at writing of the dark corners of a young, inexperienced girls mind.
