Once Upon a Daddy #11

Daddy's Kilted Friend

Rate this book
Who can resist a man in a kilt? I certainly couldn't.

I knew what I wanted the moment I laid eyes on him.
So did he...
Then I heard his sinfully delicious accent,
And all bets were off.

If I wasn't already tempted,
He came to my rescue when a college party got out of control.
I slept in his bed.
He slept on the couch.
But I left him a present before he drove me home...

There are so many reasons we shouldn't give in.
He's older than me.
He wants to be a professor at my school.
He's one of my father's friends...

But I still want to see what is under his kilt.

So this was free ARC copy from one of my favorite authors and booksprout to read for and this is my voluntary honest review of this book I so enjoyed. Once I started I just couldn't put it down til I finished the whole book because I wanted to see how it all ended. And I that it was a great read. I always look forward to seeing more from this author because I really enjoy reading her books and look forward to from her in the future. It had a great storyline and great characters to read about to , plus it's streamy hot!
Amelia decided to go to college in Georgia instead of California to be close to her parents. She need space to breath from them.Then she decided to also pledge at a sorority house because it more affordable then living in the dorm rooms. She meets alot of new young women there and some become her friends even. On the first night of their big house party her and another girl, leave the house for a walk.And end up at a Scottish Festival were she meets the hottest man in a kilt(Lachlan).And he his thinks she's gorgeous the first time he see her and can't take his eyes off her.But he take her ale and tells her she has to leave because she's to young to drink, then she take his phone and puts her number in it.And tell him to either call or text her.And so the next night Lachlan does text her and she's drunk because she got in trouble and had to do 6 shot then drank more.Then he decides to go to the party to make sure she ok and finds her in her room but guys just will not leave her be, so he takes her to his uncle house to to sleep in peace. And after that he decides that he really wants to get to know her and see if there can be anything between them. Lachlan came back to Georgia to be a fill in professor but that fell-threw and then he met Amelia and wants to see were that goes between them! And he really likes when she calls him Daddy when she does something bad and needs a spanking. So if you really want a great romance read between a older man /younger woman the enjoy this one!!!

Who doesn’t swoon over a delicious Scottish accent? I was lusting just as much as the female character when she just couldn’t get enough of that accent, his sexy legs under his kilt and his overprotective instincts. The chemistry and flirty banter between them is a great lead in to the story of their relationship. Although this book combines a few genres (older man/younger woman, student/ teacher, and a daddy dom relationship), it all comes together in a very sexy, entertaining and enjoyable story.

Downloaded for free from BookSprout. I have volunteered to give my honest opinion and receive no compensation for my review. Since I rely heavily on reviews to make decisions about purchases, I will never lie or over-exaggerate my opinion. There is nothing worse than seeing a bunch of 5 star reviews and realizing the book is full of errors or just plain bad and not worth my hard earned money!

Aimee has started at a university in Georgia, deliberately miles from her home in California. She needs her freedom but after partying aplenty during high school, she’s in no hurry to repeat. This is proving to be harder after the pledging begins at her soreity. It’s nothing on a par with the hazings of the past, but it’s still not what she’s at university for. A fellow pledge asks her to join her for a walk and they come across a Scottish festival that’s winding down. Aimee also comes face to face with Lachlan who is not only wearing a kilt, he has the accent to go with it.
Lachlan had moved to Georgia to live back with his uncle when he’d managed to get a teaching post at the university nearby, but the job ended up falling through at last minute. While he waits for other options, he helps his uncle out with the festival and that’s when he sets eyes on Aimee. He’s been hurt in the past, but this young woman is drawing him I...only for him to put the brakes on when he finds out their age difference. But neither can stop thinking about the other, especially after he comes to her rescue during another party. Slowly but surely, his resolve begins to crack and the two of them enter into a scorching relationship that looks set to change both their lives. This is a brilliant read with interesting characters and a great storyline, including sexy accents and kilts ;-)

Adorable
Amelia has just started college. She wanted to be as far away as possible from her parents, she didnt hate them but she just wanted to breathe. She is on a scholarship and has just joined a sorority house. And although they didnt called them pledges anymore they had to follow rules. One night when the house party was in full swing all the recruits(pledges) had to stay till the very end so they could tidy the house. But Amelia and her friend decided to go for a walk. They were bored and didnt want to drink any more. They ended up walking for ages and ended up at another party but this didnt look like any college party. As they got closer they could see it was for a Scottish festival. And it isn't long before the girls make them self at home. It isn't long before Amelia spot the sexist man she has ever seen and to make matter even better he is wearing a kilt. But sadly he thinks he is too old for her.
Lachlan had never seen such a bonnie lass but she was too young for him and he had to be strong because everything was telling him to take her.
Could Amelia change his mind??
Oh this is one fantastic read. It had me smiling so much. I really liked these two they were just so right for each other but they had so much to over come to even be together. I just wanted to start this book all over again. gutted when I finished their story.
A brilliant read!!

I loved this story. The characters were interesting and well developed. There were a lot of feels in this story. Lachlan is a hottie and I will keep him as my new book boyfriend!

Amelia is in college and is a "recruit" at a sorority. She meets Lachlan when she wanders into a Scottish Festival as it's winding down. The moment that their eyes met, they knew what they wanted. Amelia saw Lachlan in his kilt and then heard his wonderfully hot accent and that just sealed the deal for her. Lachlan decided to fight their attraction, but when Amelia needs rescuing, he comes and lets her sleep in his bed while he slept on the couch. That action made Lachlan even more attractive to Amelia because she knew that she could trust him. They both know the reasons why they shouldn't be together but that doesn't change the way they feel.

The way that Amelia and Lachlan's relationship evolved was so natural and easy that it was a pleasure to read. There was a little angst, but it resolves easily. I really enjoyed how they grew together as a couple. Their happy ever after made me super happy as well. I do wish there was another epilogue further out, but I still loved the way the story ended. I definitely recommend reading this book.

Amelia goes against her parents wishes and goes to college in Georgia. Looking into making her money stretch she starts pledging a sorority. Its nothing like she expected they do their classwork and party hard on the weekend. Amelia isn't like them she just wants to get in for a free room. When her and a friend Chrissy leave a party early they find a Scottish festival and decide to hang out there. Amelia is drawn to one man but he is trying to avoid her. Lachlan is trying to get a teaching position so when he doesn't want to get involved with Amelia because of it. Amelia won't take no easily and put her number in his phone in case he changes his mind. When their punishment for leaving the party ends up with Amelia wasted it just so happens to be the night Lachlan reaches out to her. Will Lachlan dish out his own punishment for how she put herself in harms way? Will he push her away if he gets a job on campus?

This is an amazing story that will draw you in from the first chapter on. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Love me a Scottish HUNK! Okay as with the other DADDY stories, this is about an older man and younger woman. These younger women know what they want as they are mature for their age and the age is never a factor if they want an older man. This is about Lachlan and Amelia. The story starts off with Amelia being in a sorority house as a pledge member and she and Chrissy decided they don’t want to drink much and go wild like the other girls, so they take a walk and end up hearing pipes from a party that has ended. They walk in and grab a drink as there are still some party goers there. This is where she meets Lachlan while he is wearing his kilt and she feel head over heels. He of course thought that she was too young, but Amelia was persistent and he called her when she was drunk because of a punishment in the sorority house. Well the story takes off after their first text and it was wonderful. She becomes his naughty little lass and he her daddy to spank her for getting out of line….The story has a happy ending and I am surprised of the changes in the sorority house that were added.

Does she discover what is under his Scottish kilt

Have you ever wondered what men wore under their kilts??? Well I have so I was interested to see exactly how Amelia was going to learn that with Lachlan. This is an older man/younger woman, daughter's friend/friend's father romance that is nicely written and has an engaging story-line. The characters of Amelia, a first year college student who is pledging a sorority, and Lachlan, a handsome and sexy older man who wears a kilt oh so well.
When Amelia and Lachlan meet at a Scottish festival they are strongly attracted to each other. But Lachlan believes that she is too young but Amelia is a young lassie who knows what she wants and it is the sexy older man in the kilt. As the story progresses so does their relationship as Lachlan is not giving in to Amelia until she becomes a little too naughty and needs her Daddy to hand out a little punishment on her round little butt.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

Kelli Callahan delivers a romantic and oh, so steamy novel that well keep the reader hooked from beginning to end. We are introduced to Amelia Hartley and Lachlan Kinnear. Amelia has moved from California to Georgia for college even if its against her parents' wishes. And Lachlan moved from Scotland to Georgia years ago to work for his uncle. Their paths collide at the Athens Annual Scottish Festival & Highland Games held just outside the college campus. Lachlan tries to fight the urge to be with Amelia as she is more than a decade his junior. The devious little blonde manages to get what she wants after an ample amount of teasing. Lachlan's reward for finally giving in to his desires......Amelia's coveted "cherry". This book more than delivered on the romance, warmed to the reader up with its steamy pages, and bestowed a wonderful HEA.

This was an interesting Professor/Student steamy romance as the romance began before he became a professor. Sorority girl pledge leaves a mandatory party and comes upon a Scottish Highland Festival long over and meets a Scottish man. an instant attraction flares between the two despite an age difference, She is 18 and he is in his 30’s. Resist he tries, but the attraction is too strong, a romance ensues with hot, steamy sex and the. He is offered a teaching position at her university to replace one of her professors. He wants to turn it down, but she would rather drop the elective class than him give up on his dream. He fully discloses their romance to the Dean and her willingness to drop the class. He gets the job, she becomes a full member of the sorority after “rush” week and a HEA ends the book.

This is a great story with wonderful characters. I loved how confident Amelia was considering she was on her own far away from home & glad she made friends with Chrissy. When the left the sorority house for a walk & ended up at the Scottish festival where she met Lachlan it was live at first sight. Lachlan tried to stay away from her due to their age gap but when Amelia gave him her number he couldn't resist texting her. She kept sneaking out as they couldn't stay away from each other until they realised that what they felt for each other was serious & would cross any bridges together. You can't help but smile whilst reading this book, I loved it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As a big fan of the forbidden romance trope, this book checked off a lot of boxes for me. Age gap ✔ Father's friend ✔ Potential Student/Professor relationship ✔ Hot good guy with a killer accent ✔ Fiercely determined female ✔ All of these are combined with a cute and fun story line, entertaining banter, sizzling chemistry, plenty of emotions, scorching scenes , a bit of spanking and some suspense and drama to create a terrific read. I am posting an elective sincere review.

This story is a sweet one. It is quite good overall. The storyline is good and the characters are well written out and I got the feeling that they were well thought through if it is possible to say like that. The leading characters are well balanced and I felt it was quite nice to read a story without some big villains. Overall it was very simply said a feel good story. So I can easily give this story fabulous four stars.

What’s hotter than having a Daddy and being punished for being bad? Having a Scottish Daddy with a sexy accent. Lachlan and Amelia had an unconventional start to their relationship but I loved Amelia’s tenacity in not giving up. She stood up for what she wanted and what she believed was wrong and there was no way Lachlan could resist. They’re not together but also support each other and that left a big smile on my face.

KC always knows how to add the steam to an age-gap book. Whether it be 10 or 20 years, KC can make the situation between a naughty girl and her Daddy so hot. The male characters have no chance. They may try to fight when it comes to society and social morays, but KC knows how to write a female character who knows what she wants. It's no different in this story. Lachlan may try to fight against his desire for Amelia because she is younger and he is a professor. She's having none of it as she showed him what he will be missing out. It's a simple story; fun and to the point.

This younger woman/older man story is fun, witty and so captivating. Amelia and Lachlan met one night when she was pledging a sorority and walked out of the event and wandered into a scottish festival. She meets this tall handsome kilt wearing bloke and is hooked. Lachlan is battling his attraction to Amelia and one night she is in dire need of a rescue and he comes through to her. Wonderful story and characters .

An accent and a kilt are two killer combos! This fast paced romance was extremely hard to put down! It contains so many tropes that I love, age gap, daddy, potential student/professor and spanking! Once I started I found it very hard to put down! You will root for Amelia and Lachlan to get their happy ending throughout the whole book! You won’t regret reading this one!

Hot chemistry between the two characters. I love older/younger troupe. I liked the narrative. I liked how the author wrote the dialogue. I am a sucker for men with accents. I think that this story gives accent lovers like me a male character to salivate over. I love the story's ability to drag me into it and not let me go until the last period.

Their Unexpected Scottish Bonfire:
By Korkoi - When Lachlan and Amelia met, there was an invisible force pulling them together that neither could understand. However, they soon realised that they couldn’t fight destiny. Reading this book was really interesting and entertaining, but the chemistry and heat between Lachlan and Amelia could start a wildfire.

Fun, fast, spicy read with a kilted H! Lachlan and Amelia are an interesting couple with tons of chemistry. The "daddy's friend" is dubious at best, but the book is a fun read, none the less. If you're looking for a steamy, light read you can finish in an evening, look no further. Another good one by Kelli Callahan.

Hazing and new experiences
Good and warm romance between Amélia, a student who is experiencing her first year in a sorority, and Lachlan, an older Scotsman, who might become her teacher.
The story is well written and punctuated by the hazing that punctuates Amélia’s days. The romance is simple, even if initially, Lachlan tries to resist the strong attraction he has, because of the age difference between Amélia and him.

A fun read!

An enjoyable and fun add to the daddy series, this newest release did not disappoint. A flirty, fun and fast read when Amelia and Lachlan meets and attraction is instant. Lachlan character was a yummy threat and as their chemistry sizzle, their heat level made for some delicious loving. The taboo was a little factor but I did enjoy the age gap between them. An entertaining read from start to finish.

Kilt & Accent

A kilt. An accent. I really don't need to say much more. With those two items, Lachlan pretty much has it all. He could possibly be the perfect man. Is he? All I can say is that he's the perfect man for Amelia.

I truly like this light steamy read. So there's an age-gap, some power exchange (spanking) and a kind of not there student-teacher taboo.
Lach and Amelia met in a Scottish reunion with charge electricity when they locked eyes.

I loved the bond that was so quickly formed between Lachlan and Amelia. I have a real love for a man in a kilt, and an accent . I was also pleased with how they were able to work everything together in the end. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a great love story with a few challenges.
