Daddy's Lost Love

Montana Daddies #4

by Laylah Roberts

Daisy is a Little fending for herself in a scary world. All her life she’s taken care of everyone else. And she’s completely drained. She needed a change of pace.
She never expected that moving forward would bring her straight back to her past. And the boy she’d been forced to leave so many years ago.
Only, he’s no longer a boy. He’s hard. Rough. Stern. Dominant. He both arouses and terrifies her.
Jed thought he was over Daisy. But when she comes back into his life old feelings arise. And his need for her burns even hotter than ever. When she meets his demands to let him make the rules and enforce them, to be a Daddy to her Little with acceptance and even a little relief, well. . .
She becomes irresistible.

When i found this one on iTunes shortly after its release,i knew i had to get it before it vanished.
And i am só glad i did!
It’s a shame the series isn’t on iTunes,because i’d buy all of them.
Laylah Roberts delivers such a great Daddy with this one,and his little is só sweet.....

Daisy and Jed were childhood sweethearts,but they got separated for ten whole years.
When Daisy finds a place to rent,to find the peace she so desperately needs after raising her sister and brother,they meet again.
Only Jed is bigger,stronger........and meaner because he never got over the fact she left him for another.
Only....did she?
Finding out she is a Little,one that seems lost and lonely,thát still does something to him,though.
Not that he plans to give her a chance at softening him up,or getting his money.
Nope. Not happening.
Only.....when he finds out she’s going on a blind date in a bad part of town,he rushes over to intervene.
The signals he keeps getting from her don’t add up to his beliefs,and he finds he can’t stay away...

Will he open up enough to listen to her side of the story?
And when he finds out she has a creepy stalker,can he keep her safe?
Will this big Dragon take care of his little Sugar the way she needs him to?

The first book of this year is such a sweet read,and i loved it!

I always enjoy coming back to the Sanctuary Ranch and the couples there. In Daddy’s Lost Love we had a second chance romance between Daisy and Jed. I enjoyed their story and it really packed a punch!

I enjoyed reading about Daisy and Jed finding their way back together and seeing the relationship grow between them. Daisy was a Little but didn’t know it and I loved how Jeb took the time to walk her through it. He wanted to show her the love and safety that she never had growing up.

The best part of this book was reading about Daisy coming into her own and realizing that all of the bad stuff people told her about herself wasn’t true. She learned to believe that she deserved to be happy and be loved.

I did have issues with how long they waited to talk about the past. 10 years passed between them and the air needed to be cleared. There was so much misunderstanding on Jed’s side and that could have been avoided had Daisy told him everything much earlier. I get it was hard, but it would have saved them some hurt.

Besides the miscommunication, I enjoyed this and can’t wait to read the next one.

So good. This one is one of my favorite of the bunch. I just really love the healing between Jed and Daisy. Plus their dynamic is freaking cute.

Honestly, I feel like swooning.

So, so glad I decided to reread these books.

4.6 stars.
I love these two, but I totally forgot how much I hated Jed in the first, like, 40% of this book.
It’s all really understandable, and he makes up for it in the end, but I was so mad at him in the beginning.
🤷🏻‍♀️That just made it all the more satisfying when he shaped up, though. So, you know, it was worth it. 🥰

This was my least favorite of the series so far. Actually, I hardly enjoyed this book at all. Why? Because Jed was a straight up dick in the beginning. And then just when I was thinking maybe he was going to act better for Daisy, he turns around and acts like a dick yet again.

Okay, here’s the sitch. Daisy and Jed dated 10 years prior, back when she was about 16 and he was 19. He left for the navy but obviously they didn’t work out. We don’t find out why til later on.

So she rents Ellie’s house and Ellie invites her to Sanctuary Ranch for a cookout. Guess who she runs into? None other than Jed... and he’s not welcoming to her whatsoever. So she leaves. He then shows up to her house the next day (mind you, this house is an hour away from the ranch) and tells her that she needs to leave town, there’s nothing for her here, etc. He also thinks it’s not a coincidence that she shows up and that she’s there for his money. He even tells her this. Fuuuuuuck that dude. Srsly. Straight up fuck. him.

But then Daisy starts online dating and he shows up to her date and drags her away. It was with a creepy dude, but still. He then inserts himself into her life. He thinks in his POV that “this was about working her out of his system.” Then literally the next day he thinks: “things had changed. This wasn’t about working her out of his system.”
Make up your fucking mind dude!!!

The way she went along with him makes me nauseated. She just lets him back in her life after he demanded she leave. He thinks she cheated on him 10 years ago. She constantly tries to bring up the past to him, to let her explain what really happened, but he interrupts her every damn time and comes to his own assumptions on what went on with her. In reality she’s 27 and a virgin and has never been with anyone. No dating after him. Nothing. Of course. He’s had other women, was engaged.

THEN he shows up at her door and finds a stalker note with lingerie and he accuses her of cheating again, says all kind of shit, tells her to leave town again. Not 15 minutes later he’s turning around realizing she opened the door with a bat and looked tired and scared and he fuuuuucked up. This dude is a Daddy? Bitch please. He’s not a very good damn daddy.

They don’t have sex until 90% in.

Honestly, I really disliked this whole situation. There were parts that I enjoyed but the negative far outweighed those parts. I mean... we finally get her to say what really happened. And I’m so mad that he never even tried to contact her. If he really loved her, why would he just accept it with a note and leave it at that?

Anyway... now that the whole story is basically revealed in my review. Oops! 😳

I’m seriously hoping the next book in this series is better. I’m glad that they ended with a sort of HEA and all but I’m over Daisy and Jed. I need to read an extra sweet daddy like Macca. He seems like he’d be a good one to read about. He’s shown up twice so far and he’s super sweet. He seems to realize how lucky these fools are to have a Little girl.

Okay, fuck. I’m done now.

This was a 2.25⭐️ for me. Just gave me angry vibes at the characters that I don’t like to feel when reading.

Jed and Daisy make the sweetest couple even though they've had obstacles thrown in their way. Another lovely story from this series.

[Deanie Nelder · Rating 4 out of 5]

Actually 3.5 stars

Normally, the Daddy Dom/little girl dynamic is not my thing, but I really liked Laylah Roberts other work, so I thought I'd give this one a try. In this case, the dynamic really works. Daisy gets to recapture her lost childhood and finds someone who can deal with her "childish" habits (like sleeping with her baby blanket), and Jed gets to take care of the woman he loves in the manner he needs.

I'm taking off a half a star because Jed is a complete jerk in the beginning of the book, trying to run Daisy out of town without even knowing why they broke up the first time. Otherwise, I liked the book.

[Nicky نیکی · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was counting down the days until this book came out, no joke. The day it was released I couldn't download it quick enough. I read it that day, cover to cover. Having read the prior books in the series I knew that I was in for a treat, and this did not disappoint. Super protective and caring alpha daddy? Check. Sweet and loving heroine? Check. Lots of tenderness and romance between the hero and heroine? Check! I am now chomping at the bit for the next book, which I'm told will be Eden's story.

[Red Talisman · Rating 1 out of 5]

Perhaps one of the smallest yet most annoying things Laylah R. does is to use repeatedly certain words or phrases like "potent" and "naughty", goes are always potent and girls area always naughty. While I understand at least naughty goes to feed the nature of the DD/lg relationship between the characters, after 3 books it just got tiring and somewhat annoying. Even the nicknames are similar, Abby-girl (book 3), Daisy-girl (book 4). Sorry if I come across as nitpeaky but... couldn't L.R. worked a bit more on this?

Also... wouldn't saying something sweet makes your teeth ache be sarcasm or dislike towards the sweetness implied?

Anyway... this is book 4 and there are some things that are obvious formulas to her series, not precisely in a good way. For example, all guys mention wanting to go slow as to avoid scaring the female lead away but constantly go against this with their actions and words, pushing in less than a day or so of meeting or reuniting with a woman to have them as their submissives without even explaining what this means and giving them time to analyze what it means for them and their relationship.

I would like to say that having the previous characters appear in books before theirs fleshed them out a little for their own story but in reality all previous introductions worked to fake a personality that is quickly broken by their own. Jed, luckily, had no previous introduction, I actually had to check and re-check to be certain he hadn't appeared before. But this does him no favors. He's actions and words are confusing, he contradicts himself, for example saying he doesn't trust her but demanding she does and looking to gain her trust (a novelty for a supposed good guy) or saying that he wants to be with her just to get her out of his system but acting with her as if their exploration of their relationship is to make something real.

Daisy was a slightly interesting character, but mostly because of her background, her past, because her as a character in what she did and thought about wasn't interesting at all. I was actually pleased by how L.R. worked the resolution for her past, specially because we're talking about sensible mental health problems and how trauma should be always treated, and it was a let down that the author decided for a less serious decision and more toxic-masculinity-style of action for Jed when it came to his own mental health. I was never engaged by Daisy, I didn't really care about her, specially with how she was another doormat for her own siblings and how this again never changed and the only pain I felt for her was empathy due to the horrific nature of her previous trauma, a sensible topic that I hope L.R. didn't used as a gimmick to get people to feel for her character.

The main plot of the story is confusing, it doesn't really look like there's one, more like there are 3 or 4 things vying for our attention and this becomes tiring near the end, cause it wasn't like the characters didn't have a respite, more like they were too moronic to fix one thing then go to the next. I was also bothered by how they used an early secondary character as an antagonist, or better said, as a plot device. There was nothing (and I read his part twice) suggesting his transition in the book from extra to villain, no valid mental/psychological proof or seed, and because of his personality, how they meet for the first time and how the conflict he creates is defused in the end he appears as false alarm, taking away a lot of value and making a minor thing of a serious safety problem in the lives of many women in the world. Again, I think this would've been a fine plot point if only it had been studied and worked properly. Not to mention if the rest of the plot points hadn't been so scattered and worked so little and in so little time throughout the book.

And... pardon, but, why are all the women skinny? Is there an anorexia problem between Littles that I don't know of? Are Littles usually unable to feed themselves be it for economic problems or bad habits? How come a person who has taken care of people before be unable to care for herself properly in something so basic as eating 3 meals a day? Or is this just a device to make us feel their misery?

So... this is the last book published for the series and I've decided I won't read more... unless L.R. decides to write one about Eden and Zeke, that I might read out of OCD pleasure. Anyway... don't read, don't buy, I don't think it's worth the effort.

[Kait · Rating 3 out of 5]

Daisy never stopped loving Jed, and vice versa. Too bad his grandfather forced her to leave right after he went into the military ten years ago. Not that Jed knows that, he was lied to.

These two are cute, especially after the air is cleared.. which would have happened sooner if Jed had just let her speak of the past for more that 3 seconds. Only thing that bothered me about him. He kept saying the past was in the past but was constantly thinking about it and letting it get in the way of their relationship. Cute story overall though.

[BJ · Rating 2 out of 5]

Last book purchase by this author, as this book disappointed, as did previous in this series. I have read some good age-play and loved the strong Daddy-Doms, but the H was a weak man. He acted like a brat, not grumpy, more like a child having never ending tantrums. He was also very coy, wore his boxers to bed! The h was a much smarter than him, cared for others and herself better than he did. As a Daddy-Dom he was a fail.

[Tammy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the 4th book in the series but it can be read as a stand-alone. Daisy as been doing her best to take care of everyone else and is drained. She runs into her old boyfriend Jed and sparks fly, when Jed realizes Daisy is in need of a Daddy Dom he plans to take care of her. Fast-paced read with great characters, a story with loads of drama and emotion and loads of steam. I liked it.

I enjoyed the emotional story of Daisy and Jed after their paths cross
again after ten years.Their relationship was torn apart through lies and
blackmail.Daisy life had been one big struggle as she tried to keep her
brother and sister out of foster care.The first person she meets when
she moves to Russell is Ellie.Despite being in trouble for mathmaking,
Ellie invites Daisy to a cookout at Sanctuary Ranch.The last person that
Daisy expects to meet is her old boyfriend and love of her life,Jed.

Jed is less than thrilled to see Daisy and tells her to leave.She is nothing
but a gold digger after all.Why else would she seek him out again after
running off with another boy.Only Daisy has not told Jed the truth about
her reasons for leaving as she has caused him enough pain.Daisy's attempt
at on- line dating was disastrous.Daisy did not expect Jed to turn up and
rescue her from a boring evening.Jed can't stop his growing feelings for
Daisy especially when he realises she is a little .He soon steps up to be the
Daddy she never had, but he came with rules and consequences.Danger
and misunderstandings rock their relationship but with help, their future
is bright.

This was an excellent Daddy Dom story.There was so many aspects that I
really enjoyed.It has suspense,danger,misunderstandings,age play,new
beginnings,family secrets,intense dynamics,insecurities,vulnerability,drama
and sizzling hot chemistry.

There is a theme that runs through this series of not just vulnerable and lost
women but also the men who finally find the courage to push through all of
the emotional boundaries and find happiness with their littlies.This was a
compelling romance with amazing characters who burst with realism.

A sweet sweet book

Whilst I tend toward books more like the Stronghold Doms series and Masters if the Shadowlands series, this writer's book(s) has great character development and it flows nicely. I alternated between wanting to punch Jed's lights out and remembering that even big, strong men ache...hurt...care for and protect.

Recommend the read.

[JD (on semi-hiatus) · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you want a fairly mild, consensual Age Play book where the H is not a domineering Neanderthal and the h isn't a brat or a doormat, you'll probably enjoy this. Below is what worked for me and what didn't work for me. YMMV.

What Worked:

1) Characters: Both Jed and Daisy were likeable. Daisy was actually pretty mature when she wasn't in her Little Space (so often these books present the h as brats even when they aren't playing) and Jed, after their rocky beginning, was very gentle and solicitous towards Daisy. I really, really appreciated that he was always careful to get her consent and that he told her that she was more important to him than the lifestyle (so often these books present the opposite). I also appreciated that the therapist was a woman.

2) Dialogue: Was easy and unforced.

What Didn't Work:

1) Transitions: Are this author's biggest problem. Her chapters often start or end so abruptly that it takes me a minute or two to figure out where the characters are (logistically, geographically, chronologically, emotionally); this takes me out of the book. In addition, in this particular case, the ending was too rushed and did not focus on the MC.

2) Lack of Detail: I can't tell you what Daisy looks like, what the pajamas Jed thinks are so cute look like, etc. There's a happy medium between lack of detail and information overload, and Ms. Roberts errs on the side of the former.

3) Plot: Was over-the-top melodrama and had several holes. Given Daisy's rough early life, for example, where on earth did she find the money or time to go to college (she would need at least a BA to become an editor)? How did she get her job? Why did Jed and Daisy never discuss their past? So many of their problems would have been avoided if they had, and Jed's refusal to just made him look like a hypocrite since he kept insisting on open communication. And everything except the kitchen sink happened to her; after a while, I felt I was reading the book of Job...err, Daisy. Her mother was negligent; she had to care for her siblings, who don't seem to care for her; she was almost raped; she was run out of town by her boyfriend's classist grandfather; etc. One or two of these elements would have sufficed; it was not necessary to have all of them. Finally, I really hate the the stalker trope. Authors in this genre use it way too often to eject an artificially-induced crises and it's problematic for three reasons. First, it's been done to death. Secondly, because the stalker isn't someone we've gotten to know or is organic to the story, we have no feelings towards or about him/her. Finally, the stalker never comes across as a fully-developed character, rather, they are so unsubtle that they might as well be twirling mustaches. In this case, Daisy and Jed had enough complications in their relationship that this additional tension wasn't needed. And, given who the stalker turned out to be, it was completely anti-climatic. It would actually have been more interesting if the grandfather had been still alive; that really would have created organic tension..

I really, really hope we get Eden's story next.

3 stars.

Note: I adhere to the ratings system as laid out by Goodreads: 2 stars = it was okay; 3 stars = liked it; 4 stars = really liked it; 5 stars = it was amazing. I gave this book 3 stars because it drew me in, even though I thought the plot was absurd. I do not think that every book I read is "amazing;" further, I think that it cheapens the rating system to always assign 4 or 5 stars. If a book really earns the 4 or 5 stars (and I realize that this is, to some degree, subjective), I'll give them -- but it certainly shouldn't apply to every book. Ymmv, and everyone should enjoy/rate these books as they wish.

[E.J. Frost · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've read a number of books in the Montana Daddies series and this is one of my favourites. Jed and Daisy's past gave them a deeper connection than some of the couples in the other books. It also gave them more to overcome, since there some dark dealings and heavy baggage from the past, but I liked watching them work through those obstacles. I particularly liked that Daisy wasn't a babbling heroine which made both Jed and the reader work to understand her.
The book does deal with self-harm, which could be a trigger for some readers, but it is extremely well done.
The book lost a star for me because I didn't feel a ton of intimacy and steam between Daisy and Jed. Their shared past is what drives their relationship, for good and ill, and although they are attracted to each other, I just didn't feel the passion the way I have with some of the other couples.
Looking forward to more in this series and by this author.

[Beverly McCall · Rating 5 out of 5]

Laylah Roberts did a great job in penning this appealing age play romance;. This is the fourth book in her series called Montana Daddies; wherein, she introduces new and continuing key characters who are connected with Sanctuary Ranch. In this book, we meet two vulnerable protagonists--Daisy and Jed Carson. I enjoyed the way Roberts reveals the true nature of these two characters. Her plot line is basically a character-driven one and as such we witness how these two go from a tragic separation to an unexpected and bumpy reconnection and how they struggle with the opportunity of a second chance. Roberts masterfully incorporates literary devices, such as dialog, point of view and descriptive language, to smoothly move her plot forward. The dialog, internal dialog and banter are well developed and at times quite witty and humorous especially when Daisy is in her Little Space. The dual point of view provides insight to Jed and Daisy. The descriptive language creates vivid scenes. All of these literary devices contribute to pulling the reader into the story. while endearing them to these characters. This age play romance is a worthy read and I recommend it. Happy Reading.

[Sassy Angel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fantastic story! I loved this story and this series. I couldn't put it down. I was swept into the story from the first page. I love reading anything by Laylah Roberts.

Daisy and Jed were in love once. He went away to make a future for them. She stay because she had to take care of her siblings. Circumstances forced them apart. Daisy has moved to the house that is near Sanctuary Ranch. She is surprised to see Jed at picnic. They don't start out on the best foot but when she becomes in danger, he won't let anyone else protect her. Will they be able to rediscover their love?

[Al · Rating 3 out of 5]

These books are like potato chips for me. I know they aren't the best for me because they do have reoccurring themes that frustrate me SO MUCH but I keep going back for more.

The fact that Daisy and Jed had a history was different and refreshing from the previous book's plot of the H saving the h from a horrible situation and thus getting to know one another. Jed and Daisy had good chemistry.

Daisy in a lot of ways is similar to the other heroines in that she has had a tough life but she's not in a dire situation from the beginning of the book like our other heroines thus far. She is still very shy but she did have a few moments where she showed backbone with Jed. She does tend to forgive and cave too easily in my opinion. Also, even though she raised her siblings on her own she suddenly was incapable of making good decisions and caring for herself. I honestly felt like that was done so Jed could see that she needs someone to care for her and step in but that was done in sacrifice of her character to me. Daisy has spent ten years away from Jed and was able to raise herself and her siblings during that time but as soon as they're back together she suddenly doesn't know how to feed herself properly and makes poor decision after poor decision.

One of my gripes from the previous book was that spanking was always the go-to punishment and there was no discussion on whether that was the most effective method for h or if they wanted that. Jed does open the discussion for possible other forms of punishment if Daisy absolutely did not want to be spanked. He does bring up safewords and talks about open communication and honesty for the relationship to work. When Daisy questioned if he would follow some of the rules he placed on her, even though it was played more of a joke, he did say that he would. He did have moments where he jumped to conclusions and was an ass to Daisy but he did apologize to her afterward. I would say Jed and Bear are my favorite leads from the series thus far.

The one thing I found really funny was that it felt like because Daisy wasn't in some horrible scenario from the jump that conflict upon conflict was piled on during. It was like everything but the kitchen sink was thrown in. Family issues, miscommunication between leads, mental health, and a stalker amongst other things all occurred in this one read.

Overall, despite how everything I wrote previously makes it sound, I did enjoy this read.

[Tina Thompson · Rating 1 out of 5]

DNF Way too much drama, and no communication. Not very well written about trauma, and I had whiplash from Jed who wants her but doesn’t.

At the beginning of the book it’s ten years previous and Daisy is 16 and Jed 19. Yeah I wasn’t keen on their ages. Jed goes away to the navy, and they’re still madly in love, but then when Jed comes back, Daisy and her family have gone. She has left a note saying she’s ran off with another boy. He doesn’t question this as his grandfather tells him she was after his money. Erm??? THAT DOESN’T EVEN MAKE SENSE! Daisy ran off with another man at the same time her drunken mother and her younger brother and sister also leave town?? The same brother and sister who Daisy looks after like she’s their mother??? And he still doesn’t question it?? 🤦‍♀️

Fast forward to ten years later, and Daisy just happens to move to the same town as Jed lives and works in, 🙄 As he works at Kent’s security company. Jed is horrible, and I mean vile to Daisy as he still thinks she left years before as she ran off with another man. He threatens her and tells her to leave town! 😱😱😱😡😡 He never asks her to tell him why she left. Never asks for an explanation. Daisy is just as bad as she should have made him listen. Eventually he wants her back and they are soon in a relationship again, but he’s like a ticking time bomb with her, as he doesn’t trust her and thinks she’s cheating on him! I ended up skimming through the book till she told him what really happened ten years previously. He’s a d*ck!! He says he loves her but he really doesn’t show it at times.

Hated this one. Sorry but it was awful! It’s that bad I’m hesitant to read the next book.

[Mysti · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is Daisy and Jed. I'm proud of her for telling him off when he's being a pig. It got a little frustrating with the "big secret" keeping and the fact he wouldn't listen to her. He's been the biggest jerk out of all the daddy's. The climax of the story stunk because there was no possiblity of closure with the ones that caused the issues. What was the point of all the build up. I didn't enjoy it much at all.

This is a general review of Laylah's ddlg fics: (1) The shorter the book the better it is. This one was too long so it gets boring. (2) All of Laylah's books lack sex. They're all more story driven. In her books, you'll be lucky if you get one sexual encounter. There's a lot of teasing, but not much of the actual act. There's also always the lead up to a** play, but never happens. So if you read her fics for sexy times - you'll be disappointed. (3) every single female in her books have a habit of saying their thoughts out loud and then getting embarrassed about it. I'm on like the 15th book and reading about 15 women that are shocked when they blurt out something they were thinking is getting a little old. (4) In every book there's a scene where the male will ask her to go pee and it's a big deal about being embarrassed. Again, after the 15th book I'm tired of reading the same thing. (5) almost all of the girls read ddlg fics, yet when they meet the man they're shocked that he suggests it. They're all fantasizing over the same thing so why not just go with it?
That being said - I like all of her stories just about. I've read all of the MC Daddies series and I'm actually on book 7 in this series. They're good.

[Nanadeb · Rating 3 out of 5]

My least favorite book of this series so far.

In all this series so far, the suspenseful plots are very good (the 3 stars), and I realize the author needs her characters to behave a certain way to create interest, but I have to say that in every book the Dom in each has let me down. They're not acting very mature, just mostly adolescent. They're supposed to be the parent, people! In this book Jed was a selfish, demanding, manipulative, bully who had Daisy not knowing whether she was coming or going, at the beginning. Reacting first and thinking later. So really not cool. I think he got away with his poor behavior way too easily, just like the other guys in their stories did. And Daisy was way too accepting of his treatment of her both good and bad. At the time I couldn't see how she could've raised her siblings with her current behavior- a very accepting emotionally defeatist attitude. I was very upset and almost stopped reading at 30 percent! If it wasn't for the suspense, I would have. Finally finding out about the past events, and Daisy finally being able to live out some of the childhood that she missed with her true personality, was the only positives I got from this story. There was very little to get closure for either Daisy or Jed in my opinion, with no one left to confront. And her siblings still treating her the same selfish way wasn't really resolved either. It was just okay. Sorry. Not sorry.

Earlier in the series I wanted to read 'grumpy Doc's story, now I want 'grumpy Bain's story, too. I hope they're more mature in their stories though.

DADDY’S LOST LOVE is the fourth book in the Montana Daddies series. Each is a stand-alone, contemporary romance featuring a DD/lg loving dynamic.

Daisy and Jed’s story is a second chance romance. It is also a Cinderella and Prince Charming story. He comes from money and she is the daughter of the town whore. Because of their past, they have trust issues that have to be broached and slain. As always, communication will be the key. Trust and communication are the hallmarks of any good relationship, but especially one founded in BDSM.

I love the realness of their emotions. They make mistakes – both of them. Trust is hard, especially after failure, even if that failure wasn’t their own. I loved Jed’s team and hope we’ll see more of them and they’ll each find their own girls.

I understand Daisy. She was the oldest sibling, forced always to be more mature than she was ready to be and denied her childhood. Is that what causes Little behavior? Maybe. It seems to be what is implied in this story.

Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
