As a twenty-two-year-old without a college degree in a city bustling with brilliant people, I’m heartbroken by a cheating boyfriend, and the only highlight of my life is the steady job.

I’m unlucky in love. It’s been proven in the last couple years of my life.

Just when I swore off love, Mr. Simone’s very attractive face came to view. He’s always been there as my boss, and I have never seen him as anything but.

Suddenly, my heart is pounding and my palms are sweaty when I’m near him.

I know this feeling too well.

He looks at me with something indescribable, and I don’t think I’ll be ready for what he has in mind.

That 1 star is only for the extremely filthy panty melting dirty talk during the sexy scenes in this book.
Other than that, I didn't like either the plot or the characters.

Plot-

It was PHP book.....Plot-What-Plot. There's a super rich super handsome guy named Simone (MMC), who employs the girl he becomes obsessed with, Aria (FMC). She is sacred of him cuz he's such an asshole but also in awe of him cuz he's talented and demands the best from his employees. One day, Aria catches her boyfriend cheating on her and is heartbroken. She reaches the office crying but Simone.... considering the Mother Teresa that he is, doesn't care about her tears. The very same day, he starts calling Aria little girl and himself Daddy (in third person, kinda like "“If you let Daddy see your pretty pussy, I will lose control.”.....which was really weird btw). Aria, given she's scared of him, doesn't correct him and even starts calling him Daddy after an hour or two. And there starts the love/lust story. 😪 I mean, can she be more idiotic?!!

Characters-

Aria- She was this "naive, gullible and too trusting to live" sorta personality. That's one of my biggest pet peeve so I obviously hated her. She saw the best in everything including Simone taking over every aspect of her life.🤷

Simone- He considered himself "a monster" and "evil" for preying on Aria but in my opinion, he was majorly not. We, as readers, can clearly see that Aria was letting him do anything and everything he was able to, rather than him putting any effort into it. So he was just a controlling and opportunistic asshole who took advantage of Aria's gullibility and need for dependency.


This book was like a pet peeve upon a pet peeve. A controlling hero who's a psuedo "monster" and a dumb and naive heroine who lets him control her without a doubt. It was not a good experience for me. Sigh.

Aria works as an assistant to Simone, a fashion designer. She comes to work heart-broken when he boyfriend cheats on her. Simone cares for her and when her boyfriend is at her place that night, he takes her home. Soon sparks are flying between Aria and Simone, will her ex ruin it? Fast-paced read with plenty of drama and lots of steam. I liked the characters and the story is entertaining. A good read.

Sad that I have to give it one star.
If you like boys who manipulate a naive women, and forces them in a daddy relationship, this is for you.
It was not only badly written but the amount of bs that book had made me angry.

Not only did he use her, but ignored her pain after taking her virginity in a painful way.
0/10. Do better

When a man will do anything to get his woman!!!!

Mr. Simone is a fashion designer, he is rich, successful and sexy as hell. He hires Aria as his assistant, not because she is qualified for the position but because the first time in years his hearts starts beating again. Aria is perfect but he knows he must go slow with her she is very shy. And a true submissive with is what he is looking for, he wants her to obey his every word!
One day he gets told by his secretary that Aria has disappeared in the ladies bathroom crying her heart out and soaking wet from the rain outside. He is quick to go to her and he walks in to find her trying to dry her clothes on the drier flashing her tummy at him, he gets aroused in seconds. He takes her bath and orders her to get changed into a set of his clothes. He finds out her boyfriend has cheated on her. Mr Simone sees this as a sign to start his plan to make Aria his. When he takes her home the ex-boyfriend is outside waiting for her, he is drunk and abusive towards Aria and Mr Simone is quick to step in and get Ari out of there telling her she is now staying with him. Its like everything is going Mr Simone's way. But can he get Aria to fall in love with him??
This is a fast paced story of a man who is going after what he wants. Its love at first sight for him and its dreamy to watch him do everything in his power to make Arias life perfect. Its a beautiful dark story that just left me wanting more I cant wait to read more from Celia Crown.

This book pushed the boundary between ethical behavior and a more sinister one.
by sewsummore

The first time Simone met Aria he knew he had to make her his, over the ensuing twelve months that she worked as his assistant he knew he was obsessed with her. She was such a tiny little thing compared to him it just seemed perfect to call her his little girl and later have her call him Daddy. He tried to teach her confidence, to make her happy and to make her believe in herself. It was a change for Aria to see Simone as a man, instead of a boss who desired perfection, as she grew to love him their relationship changed to a more intimate one but only after he wed her would he finally claim his virgin bride. I found this book pushed the boundary between ethical behavior and one of a more sinister behavior. Simone was controlling to the point of sinister obsession, controlling every aspect of her life. At the same time he showed great determination to protect her ideals, while at the same we time making her call him Daddy. Was she really in love with him or was she a young woman groomed to be his little one and his eventual bride. I let you the reader decide. This was a short intense story that I became absorbed in, yet left me questioning if what he did was right. If this was the writer's intention he certainly got mine.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the older man/ younger woman romance between Simone and Aria. Simone is a famous fashion designer and he hires Aria as his model, even though she is tiny and not the model like figure that is usually used in fashion. Aria is a naive young virgin that has never been kissed, even though she has a boyfriend. When she finds she boyfriend cheating, she is upset but realizes he only thought of her as an accessory like a doll to show off. Aria goes to work and when Simone sees her, he knows it is time for him to claim her and let her know she belongs to him. Simone wants Aria to call him Daddy and he wants to take care of her. Simone and Aria have a Daddy/ Little relationship and even though Simone loves Aria, he will not take her virginity yet. Simone wants Aria to love him and he is willing to wait. Aria likes how Simone takes care of her, but she worries she doesn't belong in his world of the rich and famous. I liked this story, i just wish Simone had been a little more clear with Aria about how he wanted their relationship to be at first. Aria was a little too naive to understand Simone's feelings. Good one.

Simone is a fashion designer who is mega rich, he hires Aria as his assistant, but he doesn’t have her do anything other than be a fashion hanger, which entails her to let him measure her figure twice a day. She has been working for him for a year.
One day Aria comes to work soaking wet from being in the rain and sobbing her heart out because her boyfriend of three months cheated on her with another woman.
Simone comforts her and gives her a change of clothes to wear, his clothes. He takes her home that night and her ex boyfriend is waiting for her on the door step but he is drunk and abusive towards Aria and Simone . Simone takes her to his home and over two weeks she only wears his clothes. The media have a field day over this and speculate over their relationship.
The ex boyfriend and the girl create a nuisance and Aria stands up to them and does her best to protect Simone and she realises she loves him.
They marry and have their happily ever after.

Aria works for Simone a famous fashion designer. She comes to work one day in tears after finding her boyfriend with another woman. Simone has wanted Aria for his own for awhile and now that this has happened he sees it as his chance. Simone wants Aria to be his little so he can be her Daddy and take care of her. Aria is confused at first but its not long before she is totally into everything Simone is offering. However Simone has a secret that he has kept from her will it end things between them when she finds out?

This is a great story once I started it I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

This was my first book by this author.
Simone is a designer who likes to be called Daddy. He has a favorite petite model, Aria who is also a timid virgin. Secretly Simone and Aria crush on each other until finally the designer makes bold moves and moves his model in with him. Their different relationship continues until their HEA.
This was a different type of Daddy/Little Girl Romance. I didn’t warm to either character and maybe because it was a short story. There was nothing wrong with the writing or flow...everything was there. It just didn’t hit my buttons. That’s not to say it won’t for other readers. Peace.

This is a story that is quite fun to read, but what was really troubling while reading it, were all the endless errors and typos. I started with copying the errors to send to the author, but gave up. It was either only doing that or trying to read the story. I opted for reading the story. The storyline is quite good and the characters are as well so for that this story is getting beautiful three stars, but would have gotten four, if not for all the errors and typos. But of course each reader has to judge by himself or herself.

first book I have read from Celia and it was a good read , Aria is a shy young innocent woman and finds out her boyfriend was cheating on her , she works as a model , well not a model she's more like a live mannequin for her boss as all he does is takes her measurements , Simone her boss is obsessed with Aria and he wants her for himself and also for her to call him DADDY , a good read with great characters and a storyline that has some BDSM , drama , a dominant alpha male and some stem,

An enjoyable read! The storyline is well thought out, emotionally deep, and consistent; I was captivated from page one until the end. There is drama, hotness, and twists and turns. Well developed characters you will love and root for; the chemistry between them is off the charts! This book is guaranteed to leave you wanting more. Definitely recommended!

Aria is tiny, mousy, poor and insecure. She is also having a jacked up day. Luckily, her boss Simone is there to scare the crap out of her. He cant possibly want her, right? Want to be her "daddy"? This is a sexy read of a hard man who knows what he wants and pushes for his goal...Aria.

I enjoyed the story behind this and the characters but I feel like it dragged on and the way the story unfolded was confusing. The monologues between the characters was confusing at times and didn’t help me connect with them.

Aria is waay too insecure for my liking. I disliked her to the point of not liking the story. I mean she acted like she was the only person who had that happened to her. Not cool, you are not the only one. A spineless heroine.

While the story get steamy at some parts, the characters in the story seems a little unrealistic. Then again it takes all kinds of people to make the world, so maybe they do exist.

It was too short. It was a great 20 mins read. I love the ending. I love the characters interaction with each other. It need more details.

This is a fast read about an older man and a younger woman who start a D/l relationship. The two main characters have great chemistry together and the story is a fun read.
