About the author

Carolyn was one of you as a kid, with the intriguing seeds planted in her head of the shivering thrill-thoughts that came with words like spanking, or discipline. As with you, those kinds of words and thoughts connected the heated blush of her cheeks with feelings elsewhere, which got more and more interesting the older she got.

I bet you know just what I'm talking about.

Like some, she started writing down these thoughts, escaping into short stories of reluctant heroes willing to take someone they love in hand when it's for her own good... and more shadowy thoughts as her imagination matured.

And like some, she started sharing her writings in newsgroups once she gained some confidence.

There's nothing like the perfectly-turned phrase, the handful of words that can make a feeling wash over you. And if you're reading this, then you have within you some intense feelings that most of the world doesn't understand -- but Carolyn does, and she writes those passions with wondrous abandon. Her specialties are Spanking Romance and Adult Ageplay, so we've grouped the many examples of her work that way.

Spanking Romance Classics are sweeping love stories which dare (in a very un-PC way) to allow their heroine to feel the special love of a strong man who will take her in hand when it's best for her. Carolyn writes very real, rich characters and stories that aren't just excuses to jump from spanking scene to spanking scene. If the timeless tango of pursuing ardor touches you, and the head-rush of Adoring Discipline intrigues you, then you'll love Carolyn's stories!

YOU DID WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS BEST FOR ME

Having read many age-play stories, by many different authors, I will have to say that Ms. Carolyn Faulkner did an amazing job of bringing to light the relationship between Mane and Tahlia. A couple that had been together in a Dom/sub relationship, but will change to a Daddy Dom/little girl dynamic.

The plot will have Tahlia freaking out and thinking she has ruined everything when in the heat of passion she calls out the word Daddy, she wants to bolt, not talk about it and knows he will be disgusted with her. Mane isn’t a man who will allow his girl to run and hide and tells her that he will be picking her up the next day a little after five for the weekend.

It’s a story of honesty, discussions, acceptance, and moving from the D/s relationship to a DD/lg dynamic. What Mane hasn’t told Tahlia before is that it was something he has wanted too, something he could sense in her, and he had even started buying things to have for when it would happen. When she calls him Daddy in the heat of the moment, it was music to his ears.

The story is more the emotional changes, with both a physiological and the physical changes that will enter this new phase of their growing relationship — adding age-play into an entire weekend, learning new boundaries, allowing Tahlia to be little and enjoy the experience while Mane loves doting on her, babying her, and helping her embrace her little self.

While the story does have some punishments and sex scenes, it is all in the context of their agreed lifestyle change. As their dynamics changes, so do the discipline and rules.

“To help you feel good. I want you to feel secure in my love and in our life. I know that won’t happen overnight; I do. But it’s something I want you to work towards, because it hurts my heart when I hear you being so timid and apologetic about something that is exactly what you should need and want from your Daddy. You know I just want to always know how loved you are and how proud I am of you.”

OK, I DEMAND Mane Campbell (H) a Naval Officer, who is also Tahlia's (h) Dom, be cloned IMMEDIATELY!
This author has written some of the darkest, harshest erotic stories I've read BUT this one is one of the most loving, sweet, gentle romance stories I have ever read by any author (IMO).
Mane is firm, stern, fair, dominant, handsome, a military officer, handsome, muscled, powerful & loves his submissive Tahlia intensely. Tahlia adores Mane, craves & loves his dominant control, not to mention the beyond fabulous bedroom interactions they both enjoy so much. But she has a deeper need/craving she's hidden since a previous boyfriend clearly expressed his disgust & mockery. She wants/needs a Daddy Dom. But when she blurts out 'Daddy' to Mane in the throes of passion, she bolts just knowing she's destroyed the best relationship she's ever had or could want.
But Mane has a few feelings of his own & intends to address them with his beautiful adored submissive the next day.
Their story just grabbed me by the heartstrings & would not let me go. Mane was so damn AWESOME as a man, a lover, a Dom: he loved Tahlia & wanted to provide her with everything she wanted & needed. The author let both characters show their love & care & desire for each other in small & large ways; she let Mane, as strong as he was, be man enough to let Tahlia know he was eagerly entering new territory for him too & how important it was to help him be the Daddy Dom she needed.
This book: the plot, characters & their feelings just RESONATED with me so much! The overwhelming feeling I got from this book & the characters was love, love, love. How wonderful it would be to have a man like Mane in your life! How gently but firmly protective, thoughtful, kind & loving he was. And Tahlia, there was a very low level but very understandable angst she experienced. But I loved that other than her one time initial fear driven bolt, there weren't emotional meltdowns & misunderstandings & arguments. Just two people who love each other navigating a new path together. The story just wraps around you like the softest blanket & snugs you down deeper & deeper into comforting emotions.
No OW/OM drama, no overwhelming drama or angst. Some loving physical discipline but nothing over the top, although there is 1 severe caning scene.
I heartily recommend this story to those for whom a Daddy Dom/lg dynamic isn't a issue.
Worthy of TEN STARS in my opinion!

Tahlia has a wonderful man in her life who loves her thoroughly and who has been so patient with some of her insecurities even allowing her to continue wearing a collar from her previous partner.
Mane is a Naval Office he has excelled in his employment and has been dating Tahlia for some time he knows about her past relationship with Tom, whose collar she still wore even though he is now married with a young daughter. He knew she was a very special woman and that she would fulfil his needs and desires and, on the night, she had called him Daddy! In that one moment all his wishes and dreams came true in that one single moment.
As he spends a weekend treating Tahlia as the little girl, she so desperately wanted to allow to peak out from her inner self but because of past relationships and other partners responses to this need from calling her sick, putting her out of their home in the middle of the night and also just simply walking out on her she had hidden this part of her so deeply.
Maine had always wanted his own woman to love but he also needed the responsibility being a daddy and he knows that Tahlia has these deep-seated desires and needs, her need foe a daddy is so desired that when Maine admits that he has always wanted his own little girl she is thrilled and also a little apprehensive.
Read this wonderful story and you will be completely enchanted as I was it was a really wonderful read,
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

I hadn't noticed that I was looking down as I walked towards him, but he had. He did have that tendency to notice small things about me that no one ever had, and it always made me feel very cherished and looked after—both things that appealed to the submissive—as well as the well-hidden, I had thought—little side of me.

It is a super cute and adorable book, along with Dom/Sub relationship changed into Dom Daddy/Sub Little Girl relationship. They both are tentative about what real physical life they wanted.

I had long since told him that his house was the biggest reason why I was dating him. He'd nodded at the time, then an evil grin spread over his face as I paused and recanted, "Well, okay, one of the biggest, anyway," fitting my hand over his ever-hard cock. Not insulted in the least—even if it had been true—Mane didn't miss a beat.

Not insulted in the least—even if it had been true—Mane didn't miss a beat. "Whatever keeps you beneath me in my bed works for me."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Mane is so hilarious 😆!!!!!

Mane can always see what’s inside in Tahlia’s eyes and helped her say them out. They relationship are more and more healthy and super adorable!!!!

"You're perched on my lap like a little bird, ready to fly away from me at any moment, at any sign of danger. But there won't be any of those, I promise you, babygirl," he vowed, gathering me to him.

Which girl doesn’t want to be cherished by a man like this? Maybe at first few chapters, their connections are a little bit one-way method, but Thalia is learning how to be a confident heroine for his hero!!

”You know I just want you to always know how loved you are and how proud I am of you.”

Happy ending AND I LOVE SO MUCH about everything they did for each other!!!

"It was a big mistake."
He nodded. "Yes, it was."

Then I did something I'd been considering doing for a while now and had been waiting for the right time, and I thought that this was probably it. So, I reached up and undid the latch.

Then I handed him the collar-cum-necklace I'd been wearing for much longer than I should have, considering who and what he had become to me.

The look on his face was priceless. The big man melted, right before my very eyes. Almost, but not quite smiling, I teased, "Well, Daddy, did I make your decade again?"

He looked down at me, his fingers tracing my wet cheeks as he pressed his lips to mine and breathed reverently, "Don't sell yourself short, my precious little girl. You've made my whole damned life!"

I LOVE IT!!!!!!♥️♥️♥️

i read this book as part of an arc program. Tahlia and Mane are in a relationship and Mane is Tahlia' Dom. When Tahlia calls Mane Daddy, she thinks she has ruined their relationship. Tahlia dreams of having a Daddy, but her past boyfriends thought it was weird or sick she wanted to be taken care of. Mane makes Tahlia talk to him and shows her he is thrilled she wants a bog/ little relationship because he always wanted a little to take care of. When Mane asks her to spend the weekend in little with him to see if he can be her Daddy, she is beyond happy. Mane takes care of Tahlia and they make rules for her to follow. Their relationship grows stronger and Mane wants her to take off the necklace a former Dom gave her to wear his, but gives her time to be ready. Tahlia loves Mane and wants to only be with him, but she thinks her necklace is a comfort. I enjoyed this book, it was not about something i read before with a big/ little story line. This book gave me more information about that type of a relationship. I think both Tahlia and Mane loved the other and wanted to be together, i found they communicated very well with each other and had great chemistry. I understand the dom/ sub relationship and now have a better idea about age play. Although i couldn't have that type of relationship myself, i understand it more.

Daddy! is a stand alone age play romance, with the perfect balance between sweet, naughty, and raising your relationship to the best level. Mane and Tahlia have been in a serious relationship for a while, him her Dom, when one night she calls him Daddy. Thinking she’s ruined the best relationship, she’s shocked when Mane fulfills her every fantasy for the perfect little weekend. But when the weekend is up, are her dreams over, too?

Oh my goodness, this was such a sweet and passionate age play romance! I loved Mane and Tahlia! I loved how insecure Tahlia was about her deepest desires, but I loved how Mane was able to calm her fears and let her little come out to play! He was such a caring Daddy, taking care of his little, indulging her, but also stern when he needed to be. Tahlia was so cute, getting more and more comfortable with her little and their be dynamic. This was a fascinating book to read because there was so much detail about what being a Daddy means and how important trust and communication is in an age play relationship, and it was quite informative. There’s definitely some discipline, but a lot of love and care, concern and trust. This was an amazing book and I loved reading it!

[Lalaland · Rating 5 out of 5]

Carolyn Faulkner always delivers, whatever the genre, DD, BDSM, erotica, age play, Victorian erotica, so I was delighted to read this new book from this very prolific writer. This one has a little bit of everything. Tahlia has a great relationship with her Dom Mane who is a senior officer in the Army but she is still not quite confident in her relationship and continues to where her collar from her previous Dom. Mane understands her reticence to surrender totally to their relationship and is very patient but when, during a particularly intense climax Thalia calls him Daddy, she believes it will be the end of them. Thalia is sure that Mane will be completely turned off and repelled by her tendency to be 'little'. However, the exact opposite happens and Mane is delighted to take control of the relationship in this way. What follows is a sweet telling of how their relationship develops in this new dynamic. This is a gentle and entertaining short story with all the elements one would expect from this genre, erotic raunchy scenes, eye watering punishment scenes, with hair brush, paddle and cane and lots and lots of love, a great read.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Tahlia and her Dom, Naval officer, Mane Campbell. One night however while everything is going great for them in the bedroom Tahlia screams out her biggest desire. This of course sends her running. The reason for this when she has voiced what she really wants, a daddy the man will put her down or throw her out. What she has with Mane is beyond anything she ever believed she could have but will she ruin it all. Can she have the trust to stay not only with Mane but believe that he will protect her little or will she be proven right again and go even deeper into herself?

This is a great story. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin it for any other reader. I will tell you this book will take you on a journey you never expected. The emotional dynamics of these characters will draw you in and not let go. I would recommend this book to anyone.

[Jesper · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was okay.

The way the story is told doesn't quite work for me. She's the first-person narrator, narrating as her "big" basically. But she also has her "little" persona, which is what the story revolves around. But because the narration and her thoughts are those of her "big", the "little" doesn't really shine through. She's too self-aware that now she's "little" and now she's narrating as a "big" and commentating on what her "little" is doing - which is super confusing, because she's two different personalities at the same time (the thoughts of the "big" and the actions of the "little").
Sounds confusing? That's why I'm not giving it 4 stars.

I think if the first-person narrative with the "little" throw into the mix worked better for me, then it'd be a really good read. But as it is, it's just okay for me.

Mane is a military and a Dom all the way. Tahlia is his submissive and one crazy night together she screams out Daddy! She thinks it has completely ended anything with Mane however it makes Mane want her even more. Tahlia craves Mane being dominate with her yet she wants just one more thing a Daddy Dom. Mane is excited about this new aspect to their relationship and will do anything to keep his little girl happy. Can Mane show Tahlia that he is the only man for her?


This is a steamy hot story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them will just about melt your kindle This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

This is a short book about a relationship that's already very committed, but Tahlia's been holding off on fully committing because she can't trust that her partner will accept her kink (even though they have a D/s relationship). The problem is solved for her when she accidentally shouts "Daddy!" during the seggs, at which point she'd like to crawl in a hole and die of embarassment. Luckily, Mane (weird name, but okay) has secretly always wanted a DDlg relationship, so he's ready to go. It's actually a pretty great example of a DDlg relationship power exchange in a romance, though the single POV made Mane pretty opaque.

Notes: Age play w/ limited age regression, ABDL (no wetting), impact play

[Heart5 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tahlia and Mane are pretty firmly settled in a D/s relationship when Tahlia has a single moment that sends the relationship in a new direction. Through a few moments of panic and some trial and error an age play relationship slowly develops.

The characters are definitely likeable. Tahlia carries a lot of scars from the past and the author does well to slowly reveal her history. Mane is all alpha male and complements Tahlia well. The relationship development is sweet, and the age play pretty mild. I really like that this couple is older and established in life, rather than twenty year olds just getting started.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Tahlia is in love with her Dom, Mane, and very happy. In the heat of the moment, she accidentally blurts out her deepest desire and then fears she has ruined her relationship. They have never discussed age play before and she has been hurt by previous partners when she brought it up. Mane convinces her to accept a trial weekend to determine if it works for them. The story then proceeds to examine in detail, what age play can look like. For me, not being well versed in the subject, it was enlightening and happily it greatly differed from some less informed depictions I've come across. In the end, having your partner meet your needs, and enjoy it as well, is a wonderful thing

[Toni L · Rating 4 out of 5]

Having read a number of books by this author now & rarely disappointed, I wanted to give this story a chance, even though age play is not my thing. I enjoyed it more than I anticipated and was pleasantly surprised by it. This type of relationship could never be for me but I can appreciate the level of love and care shown by Mane towards Tahlia. There was also a willingness to laugh and have fun in their relationship which I haven't seen demonstrated in the other age play stories I've read. It is only a short, quick read but because the story starts with them already in a relationship, it doesn't feel rushed at all. Glad I read it.

This was an interesting story.

Tahlia has a great relationship with her boyfriend, Mane Campbell. He is a naval officer and her Dom. One night, she screams out "Daddy" and believes that she has ruined her relationship with him. She has tried to find what she needs once before without any success. She is shocked when he is okay with this side of her. One weekend changes their relationship for the better. He embraces her 'little.' Will they be able to work out the new dynamic to their relationship?

I loved the relationship between the two main characters. I thought the author wrote the character's reactions to situations perfectly. She was appalled and ashamed by what happened, but he was amazed and overwhelmed. A cute and feisty submissive meets the man who is more than her dominant, he is also the man for her. I loved the connection the author created with the reader as well as between the characters. An interesting journey is taken by the reader as the story progresses. It was entertaining and somewhat informative. Very well done.

Great character development, strong hero and heroine. The chemistry between them was good. I liked how Ciara brought out Misha and how Mikhail was still ruthless enough to take down his brother. I was surprised at the ending to find out Damir was not taken down and there is another book in the works to tell what happens to him and Bethany. Great job, looking for the sequel.

Mane and Tahlia are in a D/s relationship. And then, Tahlia does the unthinkable (at least to her)! She calls Mane daddy during sex! What Tahlia doesn't know is that Mane has wanted a little girl of his own and he is glad this has happened. This is the start of a new and closer relationship for Tahlia and Mane. There are spankings and there is ageplay (of course!)

I absolutely loved this book.  It is a sweet age play standalone that is well written and captures the intimacy of the age play dynamic.  It has a good storyline and I can definitely see book 2 following it. This book is about the developing relationship of Naval officer, Maine and his sweet submissive, Thalia as they progress from Dom and sub to Daddy and little Thalia. 

I would definitely recommend this book.

Daddy! is a sweet ageplay story from Carolyn Faulkner. Mane is a very stern man and he loves to be the Daddy for his little one, Thalia. As Thalia is a little bit on the bratty side, she gets disciplined quite often which both enjoy.

Thalia and Mane were an interesting couple with lots of chemistry. The intimate scenes were loving and I also enjoyed the interaction between the both. Daddy! is a book well worth reading.

This spanking erotica begins with a couple who already in a D/s relationship with boundaries already in place. In the heat of the moment our secret little screams “Daddy” during intense orgasm and swiftly leaves her Dom’s house figuring she’s ruined everything and that he’d breakup with her. Boy was she ever wrong. He was hoping that he’d get to be her daddy soon.

I enjoyed this steamy read. The plot is fun and there is a good balance between emotion and heat. I liked Tahlia and Mane. Their attraction and chemistry sizzled and their emotional connection was strong. A very good read for readers that appreciate "daddy" kink or just a spicy romance. This is my honest, voluntary review.

[Renee · Rating 4 out of 5]

An emotion-laden story about letting yourself be who you are at your core. Tahlia had attempted to let her little out previously without acceptance. Mane accepted and encouraged her. I did think he was a little harsh for a daddy dom character but it was obvious he cared deeply for her. An enjoyable read.

I relation that started as a dom / sub, suddenly is faced with a change of direction.
But accepting that what she really wants is a daddy and not only a dom, it is not easy.
Do not read if you have issues with that kind of relation.
