What do you get when you combine a police lieutenant back in his hometown, a runaway bride, two adult children, some political protests, and so much sexual tension you can carve it with a knife?
I’m no mathematician but I’m pretty sure the answer isn’t one-long awaited happily ever after.
But it’s going to be. Because I’m going to make it so.
My Suzy-Q may have gotten away from me once, but that was a long time ago.
Now I’m older, wiser, less prideful, way more stubborn, and I’ve learned the hard way that life is too short not to go after the woman you love.
It’s been over twenty years and it's about damn time I make my claim.
I am a full-time mom to two sassy, strong-willed, loveable little girls. What can I say? They take after their Mama. I’m on the wrong side of 30, and I have been married to my best friend for over ten years and I couldn’t imagine doing life with anyone else by my side. We are Southern California transplants, currently residing in a very rural part of the east coast. I have two crazy dogs that I adore, even though they drive me out of my ever-loving mind most days.
Writing and graphic design consume all of my spare time and I could not be happier. This journey I am on is a crazy one, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME
The absolute BEST new addition to the Daddy of the Month Club series will feature a different ‘daddy’ and one of the ladies that was introduced in the series prequel. A group of ladies has formed a ‘book club,’ and they meet Lisa’s house. They are over lame pick-up lines at the bars and discovering they each have a passion for reading daddy dom romance stories, they have formed a friendship—over drinks, good food, and naughty romances. I laughed out loud at the antics and situations in this story so many times.
Mama Sue Tedrick is the oldest member of the Daddy of the Month Bookclub, and the one everyone looks up to. She is also the mother to member, Amy. She is in shock when she learns that her ex-almost-spouse-father-to-her-two-children is moving back to Arbor Beach after living in the city for over twenty years. “What happened between Gabe and I was long in the past, and it was my story to tell. I’m not telling it.”
“Besides, he is here for his kids and his job, not me. Can you guys be serious for one minute? This is not a romance novel, this is real life.”
When Sue is injured, it will be Gabe who comes to the hospital and insists upon taking her to his home and taking care of her, and that just adds to the fireworks between them. These two have explosive chemistry, and it will just sizzle off the pages with angst, passion, and eroticism.
“You better ask for help if you need it or we are going to have words.” “Funny thing with Gabriel—‘having words’ never involved much talking, and I knew instinctively that that had not changed. Having words usually involved his hand and my a--.”
“It’s okay, I’ve got you, baby. I’ve always got you. Don’t tell me what my girl needs, Daddy knows. You need to stop playing games. Stop making everything so difficult and just let me take care of you. Just this once. Stay here with me.”
What a shocker when Gabe learns from his children about Suzy-Q and her book club, reading Daddy Dom books. This will open up an adventure that Daddy Gabe will be taking his baby girl Sue into. Once he sets his agenda on a daddy dom-little girl relationship, he put his plans into action. “If she liked to read dirty books, I was about to make all her fantasies come true.” But what will it take to get Suzy-Q to call him Daddy? She is one stubborn girl.
“Maybe we just need to sit down at the table and hash this out. Fears. Longings. Worst-case scenarios, probability. Pros and cons. Weigh the good against the bad. Give in to what you know we both want and be mine. Don’t waste another day worrying about tomorrow. Live for today. Love today. Love me. Today and Always.”
Gabe wants to let their children know that they are together, but that niggle of doubt will keep Sue hesitant. Can they have a secret affair?
“A secret affair was not half as fun as it sounded. At least not when you were in the process of actually having to keep the secret. The affair part was lots of fun. So far, anyway.” “The things we do for our children.”
The story is an emotional tale of two people who honestly love each other, but her fear of what-ifs has kept Sue from being with Gabriel. Can they find happiness and a second chance? Can they decide to live life to the fullest and not worry about what could happen?
“When you put it that way, I can’t be mad at you! Oh, Gabriel! Thirty years and this is how we end up! We will never forget it, that’s for sure.”
“I wouldn’t have anyway, Suzy-Q. Any time I am with you is unforgettable, but this time takes the cake.”
I was rooting for Gabriel and Sue to make it work, for him to take control and show her what they could have, help her overcome her fears, and discover that her dream of having a dominant man and daddy dom was never too late. The chemistry between them was the best, the wild situations were humorous, and if ever I wanted to see a couple have a happily ever after, it will be them.
I loved this 5th edition of the Daddy of the Month Club. Sue, momma Sue to the other members of the book club because she's the oldest and known as Suzy Q to Gabe, her on again, off again lover and father of their 2 children who are now both adults. Gabe is back in town after more than 20 years and he's putting down roots and pursuing his Suzy Q in earnest this time. Sue left him at the alter those many years ago but they really do love each other and nothing will get in the way of them getting together again as far as Gabe is concerned. The sexual chemistry is hot and irrisistable but not quite enough to make Sue change her mind about reconnecting with Gabe permanently. Gabe is determined to change Suzy Q's mind and works at making himself her devoted Daddy and care-taker. It was a very interesting affair, the sex was steaming hot and the incident with the jalapenos was hysterical. I totally enjoyed this story of an older couple with a healthy sexual appetite and sense of humor to help them find their HEA.
I love this series. Each of the Daddies and their little girls are just great, and I really look forward to reading them when they come out. But I think that this one is the best one of the series so far.
There are a lot of reasons that I think that, but, for me, part of the reason is that we are getting an older couple, and that's really nice. There's nothing wrong with younger main characters, but representation, yo.
I thought that Sue really put Gabe through it. I don't think that she did it on purpose. It's because she's trying to fight how she feels about him, and it's hard on her and on him. Because she wasn't peaceful in her heart and mind, it was hard for her to let Gabriel know what was going on. She had just built so many walls.
Gabr is really a good man. He's always loved her, he's taken care of his family, and now he's back, and he wouldn't mind continuing to take care of Sue.
Think they may have to add spanking to the criminal offense handbook. Loved this story! So refreshing to have older main characters where maturity definitely did not reduce the laughs and sizzle, although this couple adds meaning to the term hot encounters. What makes this series special is the relationship between not only the main characters but between all the book club members. The authors manage to combine a great storyline with realism, laughter in the most unexpected ways, undeniable chemistry, and heart-melting moments that make you hate to turn the last page. I dare anyone to read this book and not pick up the rest of the series if you haven’t already done so. In brief, another fabulous read - I’m ready for more!
Sue had never really got over the loss of her husband when they split up 20 years ago. When Gabe was going to be a lawyer everything was ok but then he changed his mind and decided to join the police force and it was just too much for Sue so she told him he had to leave. And now that he was back working as the police lieutenant Sue knew it wouldn't be long before she would have to see Gabe again. The kids are happy to have their dad back, even tho he wasn't around for the last 20 years he never forgot his responsibilities of being their dad. The chemistry between these two is off the charts and the love just shines from them. Even though Sue doesn't want it too. but can they work out their problems?? This is a fantastic read I loved it and couldnt put it down. I got totally lost in their story and I will never look at a jalapeno in the same light again I was crying with laughter AMAZING READ!!

Sue isn’t really looking for a Daddy. She only joined the group for her daughter and because she enjoys the books. She didn’t expect to find someone that wanted to be her Daddy and it happened to be her ex. Gabe has loved Sue for 30 yrs and is not willing to let her go. He has to give it his all to make things right and show her how things could and should be with them.
I feel for Sue. Her fears are understandable but she let it eat at her and pull her away from the one man that she has ever loved. They wasted so many years apart over a fear. Gabe trying to get through to her with his hand, I don’t think that was going to cut it anymore. He needed to go for something that would really get her attention, the belt. With her friends and kids by her side cheering on the couple, you knew the fight was going to be painful but so worth it. There was so really funny parts. I’ll just say jalapenos. I was laughing. They had a rocky road but hey these books are always HEA.
I found this book to be emotional both from the heartbreak of the past and the possibility of the future. In most books, the story begins and the characters are introduced and you get a feel for the book. This book starts out with an interesting idea and you might get an idea of the main theme and then the characters start to interact and the verbiage is unexpected and will totally change your perspective. The rest of the book is magic. The authors take you on a journey that is not as explored as most of the target audience would expect or want. But it was a welcome read and beautifully written. I absolutely loved it.
This is book five in the Daddy of the Month Club series. Each book in this series is a standalone. I have read each one and I swear these stories just keep getting better. Meet Gabriel (Gabe) and Sue, these two are older with grown children which made for its own unique story to read. These is alot of uncertainty for Sue with Gabe as they have a past that didn't end well. Can these two open up with each other? They have a second chance shot, will they take it? This was an entertaining read with some great laughing moments and still a whole lot of sexiness and steam. Enjoy!

This is another fantastic story! I love reading this series so much. I can't wait to read the next book. I was glad to see Mama Sue get her match.
Mama Sue may be the oldest in the group but that doesn't mean she's too old to want romance in her life. Her ex, Gabe is back in town to work for the police force. They have two grown children together and have never seemed to be able to make a relationship work. After a freak accident that puts Sue directly under his care, things begin change. Now that they are older, will they finally get their chance?

Maybe the funniest of the series so far! I was laughing out loud and waking my husband! I absolutely loved this! If you love second - chance romance, daddies, spanking, and stories about couples in their 40s who still know how to have a good time, this book is for you! Gabe is sweet, caring, the perfect daddy. Suzy just needs to get over one tiny thing to make it all work. Oh and does it ever work! The ending was fun, and I love the set up for the future stories in the series! Can't wait for more!
This book had my heart in its hands. Just the premise itself to me was bittersweet. It’s a second chance romance, but really it never should have gotten to the second chance... As much as I liked her, I think Sue deserved every single spanking Gabriel gave her, and then some. I wanted to reach through my kindle and give her some swats myself. If you read my reviews, you know I love this series. This book is no different. It had the same humor that this duo is known for. But honestly, in this book, it was the emotions that grabbed by by the heart and did not let go until the very end. ❤️
I liked Gabe. Sue was a piece of work. I guess I could understand her fear in not marrying him, but her hostility was both stupid and immature. She wasted 30 years. It just seemed kind of dumb to me. This was a second chance romance for a more mature couple. This book just didn't do it for me.
The absolute best thing in this book was the jalapeno scene. I wish there had been an epilogue. After waiting for Gabe and Sue to work things out through the entire book, the epilogue would have been appreciated.
I loved this story . I was looking forward to Mama Sue's story from the begining of the series and it definitly does not disappoint, it entralls and entertains. Very well told. SuzyQ is sassy, stubborn and very loving. Gabe is strong and has wanted her for always. I enjoyed the interaction between them, their past and their present. There are plenty of hot spicy sexy scenes and some spankings. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book and I very highly recommend it. Mamma mia in book form.
I so so love these books from the girls as they never disappoint. You get to laugh, cringe, cry a little (either in tears of joy or belly bursting laughter) with the antics of the book club as they find their forever Daddy. I loved Suzy’s and Gabriel’s story as not only being a second chance but also being an older couple that is easily relatable and it’s my favourite of the series so far...
Suzy-Q has fought for thirty years against her feeling for her ex Gabriel. He comes back to their hometown as the Lieutenant for the police force. They fight against how they feel, but the makeup sex is great. You'll just have to read the book to find out how it ends. Thirty years is a long time to love someone. Great story.

A well written and well developed engaging addition and second chance romance to the Daddy of the Month Club series! The story-line is drama-filled, witty, funny, and emotionally deep with ups and downs and back and forth. The characters are likeable; the chemistry between them is off the charts and undeniable! Definitely recommended!

Is there a HEA for Gabe and Sue This is a steamy story about Sue and Gabe who had 2 children though never marrying because Sue didn’t want to be married to a police officer as it is too dangerous of a job. But what ensues is Gabe working hard to get Sue to let him in to her life through some funny scenarios. Will Gabe finally succeed to having Sue as his wife? You have to read to find out and will love the steamy antics of Gabe and Sue
What a delight this storyline turned out to be! Being an older reader, this one hit a little closer to home with the Hero/heroine being in their late forties, being almost ex's, and having grown kids together. Allysa Hart and Rayanna Jamison have given us a sincere story that calls to not only us older readers but any single parent who still craves that Daddy Dom and yet, still harbors her fears. I loved this!
She has been alone for 20+ years raising 2 children. She left her ex at the altar. Now he's back in town and the lieutenant cop. He still makes her want him but all they do is argue. Then Sue gets hurt and Gabe steps in to take care of her, in more ways than one. Can things be different this time of will it be the same as it has been. A spanking or two might change the situation

I was very impressed with how simply and effortlessly this author told this addicting, multi-layered story with well-developed world building and great characters and still manage to make romance feel so fresh!
The chemistry, sweetness, and twists in plot kept things interesting. Add in a wee bit of drama and you have a good read.

This one was not as funny as the previous ones, but loved it just as much! We finally get to learn what kept Sue and Gabe apart all these years. You get to read the struggle they deal with to see if what they feel will ever happen or destined to be apart. My fav part though was the jalapeño episode, you will die lmao
This series just gets better and better and Cuff Me Daddy is the best so far. It made me cry and made me laugh out loud and it was so sweet and loving. It was especially nice that these two were older and had grown up children, but it was sad that they had wasted 30 years. The ending was perfect and I am sure we will see them again in the next book.
This story was amazing. It had real life aspects and a little kink. I could see this actually being someone life. Which I loved. An older couple who struggled all their lives to raise their children, finally succumb to say YES Daddy!

I absolutely loved this book I have read and enjoyed all the books in this series but I have to admit that Gabriel and Sue's story might just be my favorite. It is a good well-written book and while I would recommend the whole series they all do read as standalone. This is a good smoking hot second chance daddy romance.
This is a fantastic second chance daddy dom, unexpected romance. This has several different emotional aspects to the story. I like the backstory that is introduced in the beginning of the story for Suzy and Gabe. This story is filled with steam and humor.
