Rate this book
This anthology will make you want to be a bad, bad girl. Daddy's Best Greyson Foster is rich, successful, hot-as-sin and British. The last thing he expects is to have his best friend's daughter show up on his doorstep, looking for a place to stay. He quickly finds out that she needs more than just a place to stay. She needs a firm hand and a little discipline. Or maybe he's just looking for an excuse to put his hands on her gorgeous curves... Best Friend's Declan Mackenzie is the kind of man that knows how to turn up the heat. He's covered in beautiful ink, Scottish, and he might even wear a kilt if you ask real nice. When he finds his daughter's best friend injured and in need of assistance, he offers a helping hand. He knows she's off-limits, but when she confesses that he's always been her secret crush, he knows it's only a matter of time before he gives in... Distinguished Walker Delaney is a distinguished, bold, and a soap-opera legend that turns every head when he walks down the street. He's the kind of man that could charm the panties off a Nun, and they even put him on the cover of Oh Daddy! magazine. Most women have a secret fantasy about him, but the worst mistake you could ever make is falling in love... Interview with a Alexio Hawkins is fierce, brilliant, and totally gorgeous, but he's hiding a secret. It's the kind of thing you share in the bedroom, not in the boardroom, and when it is accidentally revealed during an interview, he's forced to take drastic measures to protect himself. He may have just met his match in the sassy, headstrong young woman who discovers what he's hiding from the world, or maybe it's a spark that could lead to more... Each book in the "Once Upon a Daddy" series is a full-length standalone romance novel. They are totally safe and the HEA is always guaranteed. Leave your panties at the door. You won't need them when Daddy gets home...

4 Hot "Daddy" romance stories with an older man/younger woman theme. Each had its own allure but I liked some more than others. If you're into spanking, quick reads, insta-love, and a HEA with a little fun and naughtiness, this is the set to read.

This is a box set, so I'll do a breakdown for my review.

Daddy's Best Friend: 5 Stars

Wonderful older man/younger woman romance.

This is an awesome story and I love the characters. Chrissy is going off to college but her scholarship only pays for her educational needs and not housing. Lucky for her a friend of the family, Greyson, has graciously agreed to let her stay with him while she goes to school. The last time Chrissy saw Grayson she was a little girl, so when they meet again it is easy to tell there is a mutual attraction.

Best Friend's Daddy: 5 Stars

Sexy, wonderful story!

This is a wonderful story with perfectly flawed down to earth characters. Madie left college after an incident that she is truly not proud of and she hasn't told anyone the complete truth of the situation either. She is struggling to keep her head above water since her parents disowned her and she's looking for a job. To add insult to injury her car just broke down and she injured her knee after her best pair of heels broke. Enter Declan, who just happens to be her best friend's dad. He ends up helping her and things develop rather quickly between these two. But since Madie hasn't been completely honest and Declan is a stickler for honesty can their relationship truly last?

Distinguished Daddy: 5 Stars

Loved this OM/YW taboo romance.

This is a great read and I highly recommend it for all those who love a good taboo romance. Walker plays the head of the Thorne family in a daytime soap opera. He is known for being a distinguished daddy on TV. When he gets some bad news he heads out for a drink at a local bar where most people know him and just let him be. He catches a beautiful young woman trying to snap a discreet picture of him and decides to throw out his rule about never dating fans out the window, well at least for the night. When Lauren is approached by one of her favorite soap opera stars after she tried to take a picture of him she's embarrassed, but Walker reassures her it's fine and they talk a little. He acts like a jerk and she gets way turned off and decides to leave. He gives her an autograph and his phone number, but doesn't really expect her to call him. Grab this book to find out what happens when Lauren actually does call Walker. Is he a true jerk or was he having a bad day?

Interview With A Daddy: 5 Stars

Loved this sexy Daddy Dom story.

This is a great story and has real down to earth characters that make mistakes just like everyone else. Faith has always wanted to work for Hawkins Capital and she ends up getting an interview with Alexio Hawkins himself. Her interview ends up being mixed up with another interview and she ends up in an interview with Alexio for him to be her Daddy Dom. Faith is a little freaked out with the interview and takes off. Will these two overcome their first disastrous interview to become so much more than either of them can imagine?

If you haven't been bad you will want to once you start reading these. It has the first few stories in Kelli's Once Upon A Daddy series and it's smoking. Each story is so different but it made my panties melt and had me hoping I would get a spanking.

A FANTASTIC BOXSET LOVING THIS SERIES
by Anne Harris
Daddy's Best Friend
Oh WOW there is something about this book that just had me hooked. I couldnt put it down. I couldnt answer the ringing phone or texts messages because that meant I had to stop read for a minute. Its a wonderful read that just makes me want to start reading it again and again.
Chrissy is starting college. Thankfully she had a scholarship so paying for college wasn't a problem. Her father died when she was very young and her mother did her best, she was a very proud woman. So when Chrissy didnt get board with her scholarship, her mother had to ask for help from an old friend of Chrissy's dad. Well his best friend and Greyson was happy to help.
What would happen when these two got to know each other?
I really don't want to give anything away but this book is amazing. The letters just melt my heart to read such honesty and raw emotions, that was the biggest turning points for me. The characters are awesome that had me laughing and smiling and even sad at times. I honestly think age is just a number and who gives people the right to judge. Follow you heart! AND I'm so happy with ending. Smashed it This is just a fantastic read.
Best Friend's Daddy
Madie was having the worse day, well if honest the worse year. A stupid error of judgement had her running from College and now she was back in LA in a crappy car that has just broken down on the way to a job interview. Leaving her car where it is and walking to the bus stop when her shoe broke and she falls banging up her knee. But maybe luck was looking down on her when a car stops and its her best friends dad. Madie remembered Declan, She had a mad crush on him when she was younger and well maybe that never want away. Declan can see Madie needs help and after all she was his daughters best friend so he was happy to help. He had rules but Madie said she would follow them. But after a few beers, who knows what can happen???
This is a great fun read. It made me smile so much. The chemistry was off the charts and the love was heartfelt.
Distinguished Daddy
Walker Delaney is a soap opera legend. After giving 20 years to the soap opera the writers are going to kill him off. Walker was not happy so after working off some energy he goes to his local dive to have a drink. This is were he meets Lauren. She looks young too young for him but when he sees her taking a photo of him on her phone he makes his way over to her. She can take his mind off the mess of his day. But Lauren isn't a easy lay in fact she is a virgin who has used a fake ID to get in the club. But he sees something in Lauren so gives her his phone number if she changes her mind.
Lauren was all work no play. studying at college putting 100 % into her work. Her best friend gets them fake ID's in the hope of getting into a club. It works for Lauren but Madeleine got her ID crushed by the bouncer. Lauren decided to have one drink then she would head home. What she wasn't expecting was to see Walker Delaney aka Jamison Thorn from the dangerous thorns soap opera. He was hot and he put dirty ideas in her mind. But she wasn't going to just go home with him.
But when she gets home she cant get him off her mind. Her body was betraying her so she ends up ringing him asking her to take her out on a date.
Well the chemistry is off the dam charts. This book is soooooo hot.
I love the interaction between Lauren and Walker. This is a great book I really enjoyed the storyline and the characters were brilliant. this book made my heart sing to see them over come the issues.
a Fantastic read!!
Interview with a Daddy
Patients Faith was nervous, she had the biggest interview with her idol. Alexio Hawkins was owner *+#nd CEO of Hawkins Capital and Faith and she really looked up to him, but things don't go as planned and as she sat in the waiting area and saw Alexio Hawkins walk by. Something had happened, something was wrong and her interview was cancelled. Faith was gutted but she said she understood.
But when she gets a message a few days later she quickly gets ready again for her interview. But it was on a Saturday and at Alexio house.? weird but if he was a busy man she would go anywhere to have her interview. It was the strangest interview ever. Alexio was breath takingly handsome and he questions he ask were very personal. Alexio is very demanding and when he explains she will be his for the next 30 day and he wants her to call him daddy its all to much for faith! She explains she is here for a interview for a position with Hawkes Capital not what ever he is talking about, he quickly leaves to make a phone call to his PA. Faith quickly gets out of there!. Alexio can not believe there was a mix up, he would have to pay her off to silence her!
Faith has a lot going on in her life, with her parents, her best friend and now she was finding it hard to get a job. Then to top it off She was getting evicted. When there is a knock at the door she has no idea who it can be. Its a man representing Mr Alexio Hawkins. And he is very sorry for the mix up and he wants to offer her $200,000 if she would sign a contract to not repeat anything about the interview. Faith wants the apology but not from his man she wants it from Alexio and she wants him to come to her home!
And this is where the story really begins oh la la this story had me hooked from the first chapter. I loved reading about their story of acceptance, understanding, Patients and learning new things from each other. This is a slow burner for me but oh so in the right places. I would have to stay this is one of my favourite books from Kelli Callahan. she never fails to entertain us. To blow our minds with the brilliant storylines and characters. Absolutely brilliant story. Loved it loved it loved it!!!!!!!

Sometimes, you have to step up and be a daddy! Daddy's Best Friend: Chris is young and immature and college bound. Her scholorship doesn't cover housing, so she stays with Greyson. Chris is a typical 18 year old but a little immature. Greyson was Chris's deceased father's best friend. He hadn't seen Chris since she was a little girl and struggled with his desire for her. Does she just need someone who loves her to take her in hand and show it? The story was a little superficial. Greyson needed to shower someone with love. A bit tepid, not Ms Callahan's usual spice.

Distinguished Daddy: When faced with a career change, can you handle it with grace? Or with a mid life crisis? Walker, a soap opera star is about to be killed off of the show, heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Lauren having a girls night out, sneaks into a bar, but her friend doesn't get in. She recognizes Walker and tries to take his picture. His character is one who pursues younger women, uses them then leaves them. He reaches out in character and she's having none of that. They exchange digits and Lauren ends up calling him and they enjoy a fun weekend. Then he finds out his soap character is saved, his life is not changing and so he no longer needs Lauren, right?. Can he really disgard her so easily? Does he do a self assessment? Does he grow up a little? Can Lauren forgive him? This story deals with real life concerns about career identity and how to handle a personal life. Nice story.

Interview With A Daddy: Too funny! Talk about missed communication, LoL! Faith went on a job interview. There was an IT crisis and her interview was postponed. A mix-up had her interviewing for the wrong job. She asked a question and Alexio realized there may be a problem. He found out the mistake and sent his team to try to buy her off. He was surprised when she demanded he personally show up to apologize. What followed was a virtual Tango courtship. Will Faith give in? Will Alexio? Fun story.

Daddy's Best Friend:
Daddy's Best Friend is a forbidden romance between an older man and a younger woman. Greyson and Chrissy had a daddy/naughty girl relationship with a touch of BDSM and despite their age difference they were perfect together. This well written story with some kinky stuff but overall a good read.
Best Friend's Daddy:
Madie life is not going the way she thought it would. Her parents disowned her, her car broke down, an injured knee and so many other things are going wrong for her. That's when Declan, her best friends dad becomes her hero and so much more. Her life changes when she starts spending time with Declan and the chemistry between them is off the charts hot. But what will her best friend/ his daughter think about them together? This well-written story with some kinky stuff and a great HEA.
Distinguished Daddy:
Silver fox, soap opera star, sexy man (Did you get a look at that cover!) Walker was given some bad news about his role on Dangerous Thorns. Lauren is a nineteen-year-old college student trying out a fake ID at the same bar Walker is at and she catches his eye. This is my favorite story so far of the Once Upon a Daddy series. I loved the connection between Walker and Lauren and despite their age difference they really are good for each other. This well-written story with a great HEA.
Interview With A Daddy:
She thinks she's interviewing for a job and he thinks the interview is for a new submissive since he's a Daddy Dom. What starts out as a misunderstanding heats up into so much more. This is another great addition to the Once Upon a Daddy series. The writing is great, the story is hot and kept my attention from the first page to the last.

Four books centered on the love between young women and men old enough to be their fathers.
Daddy's Best Friend: Chrissy leaves Chicago to attend USC in LA on a scholarship that does not include room and board. But her mother has asked a friend of her father, who died when Chrissy was five if Chrissy could stay with him. When she is taken to his mansion, she finds both the discipline and the love she needs provided by Greyson. If you understand how spankings can make a needy young girl lustful, you will enjoy how quickly she matures.
Best Friend's Daddy: Scottish native Declan Mackenzie has been divorced four years when he notices Madie, his daughter Anna's best friend at the bus stop. Madie is down on her luck as he picks her up and takes her to his great aunt's home after finding her electricity turned off. From this point, Declan begins having feelings for Madie who always had a crush on him. But their steamy romance is cut short when Anna visits her father and tells him the whole story of the beginning of Madie's downfall!
Distinguished Daddy: Walker Delaney has played Jamison Thorn on the soap opera since before I can remember, but I know all about it because I watched it with my mother every day after school and she still keeps me posted when I call every Sunday now that I'm off at the University. What she doesn't know is that I met him and fell in love with the man 25 years older than me. Too bad they didn't kill him off in Dangerous Thorns so he could be the man he wanted to promise me, rather than the one he'd been acting for 20 years that all the 'Me, Too' people hated! Now, Mother will never know!
Lastly, Interview With a Daddy: also, a good read. I recommend this boxed set!

This set starts off with a bang and it just keeps coming. First was Daddy's Best Friend, which is Greyson and Chrissy's story. Chrissy is going to college, the only problem is that she needs a place to stay. In comes Greyson, her dad's best friend, to the rescue. But living in such close proximity proves too much for them to handle and a very taboo romance results. Second book was Madie and Declan's love story. Madie is in a very hard spot, Declan and Madie have not seen each other in years. Declan is Madie's best friends dad, but that does not stop Declan helping himself sexually to Madie and Madie is fully on board with that plan, but they do not know how to tell her best friend and his daughter. Next is Distinguished Daddy, that is Walker and Lauren's story. Walker has let his career mess up every relationship he has had, but that all changed when Lauren entered the picture. Walker however almost loses his relationship because he starts to follow old patterns. Thankful this book and every book in this set has a happily ever after. Last, but probably my favorite is Interview with a Daddy. Faith interviews for a job, it is just not the job she thought it was. Through a calamity of errors Alexio thinks he is interviewing Faith for a companion of the sexual sort, but she thinks it is an interview for a position at his company, not his bed. However the second Alexio sees Faith he knows he must have her. Awkward moments lead to a happily ever eventually. and it is a really fun read getting there.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this collection. I always enjoy this author’s work so I agreed to review this collection. However, I have grown tired of the older man/younger woman trope, especially with the men wanting to be called ‘Daddy’. However, I completed my reading of these books as promised and looked at the writing style and plots. Ms Callahan has a way with words that makes her stories flow easily. You can get caught up quickly and before you know it, the book is over! Sometimes her female leads are not likable at first, generally being young, immature, or unsure of what they want. The males however are total alphas. My favorite kind of heroes that are dominant, gorgeous, and sexy. If this trope is to your liking, you will be happy indeed!!

I’ve read and reviewed each story previously and I am glad that it is now in one boxed set making it more convenient to binge read.

Interview with a Daddy. 5 stars
A technology glitch made a mess of their records but it set the path for Alexio and Faith’s eventual love affair. Alexio is a forced to be reckoned with, once he sets his sights on you there is no escape. Over time, he was able to erode Faith’s reluctance and made her his. In the process, he was also hers.

Distinguish Daddy. 5 stars
I could picture the scene in my mind as the author tells the story and I fell in love with the characters. The story was wonderful especially when they got reunited. Loved is sweeter the second time around and Walter got his second chance from his lady love.

Best friend’s daddy. 4 stars
The book is well written that it pulled my emotions in making me not like Maddie and like Declan. Somehow, at the end of the story, Maddie redeemed herself and that’s enough for me to stop not liking her character. The saving grace? Ana. Thanks to her they got their hea.

Daddy’s best friend. 5 stars
I was not liking Chrissy at the start, she was certainly a brat but with Greyson’s guidance she matured into a responsible person. Now, she is a person to be emulated though there are some instances that she has been naughty, within reason. Greyson has finally seen the woman she has become, not the little girl anymore that needs to be disciplined.

Daddy’s Best Friend
She knew what she was doing to him when she moved in with him. She was used to being ignored by her mother and got away with too much stuff. It was good that she went away to understand that it is not always about you. It took a personal incident happening for her to grow up and see that. She was lucky too. Everyone does not put up with that behavior.

Best Friends Daddy
They had a good thing going. Not everyone is agreeable to dating older men or their father. She had a friend that could see the happiness between them. She may not have liked the situation but chose happiness over bitterness as the better option.

Distinguished Daddy
He was old enough to be her dad and had a difficult time dealing with it. He finally decided that it was time to do what needed to be done and she agreed. It took some time for her family to come around but they did. She changed for the better and her family noticed it. Her dad was upset but understood that it was what she needed in her life. She was happy for a change.

Interview with a daddy
Exciting and fun to read. He was definitely unprepared when he met her. She upset him and then got close to him. He did not like that she was challenging. It worked because he delegated at work and took time to make their relationship work. Wonderful thing when you realize that you have to make time for it to work.

Good collection of Daddy Lite

Once Upon A Daddy is a collection of the first four books in the Once Upon a Daddy series. It includes Daddy's Best Friend, Best Friend's Daddy, Distinguished Daddy and Interview with a Daddy. I had already read the last two books in this collection so was looking forward to reading the first two of the series. I am not going to review each book individually here as you can read each books review separately if you would like. I am just going to say that this is a really good "Daddy Lite" collection with each story being different situations but still with an older man/younger woman and the H wanting to be called Daddy. The stories were entertaining and for the most part well written and the characters fun and interesting. As with all collections there are always one or two books that you love and one or two that not so much. And so it was with this collection where there were two that really stood out to me, two that were good. I am not going to tell you what stories are what as you will need to decide what they are for yourself. Happy reading!!!

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

This is a collection of 4 different books but the first in her collection. Each is distinguished in its own way. If you love an older man with a younger woman, then this collection is all you need, but don’t stop with just these four as the other books that follow are just as exciting. There are four books in this collection:
1. Daddy’s Best Friend: Greyson starts us off with his best friend’s 18-year-old daughter, Chrissy, who he starts to help, but ends up being more than just a friend.
2. Best Friend’s Daddy: Madie is down on her luck but luckily Declan happens to be driving by and helps her out in more ways than one. Madie happens to be his daughters’ best friend.
3. Distinguished Daddy: Walker is the worn-out daytime star, and Lauren is trying to act all adult in the bar. He believes his charm is going to pick her up to bed her that night, but she doesn’t fall for it and is insulted by what he thinks.
4. Interview With a Daddy: This is about Alexio and Faith – wrong interview but best outcome!

All of these books are fabulous! They exude hot, powerful alpha men that know exactly what they want!

Daddy's Best Friend - The instant attraction between Greyson & Chrissy was eloquently put & I found I became completely immersed with in this book & didn't want to re-surface!

Best Friend's Daddy - The chemistry between Declan & Madie was eloquently put & I found I became completely immersed within this book & didn't want to re-surface!

Distinguished Daddy - Who knew a Silver Fox could be so HOT!! Kelli really knows how to write a fabulous story!

The chemistry between Walker & Lauren is off the charts. I became engrossed within this book & couldn't get enough!

Interview With A Daddy - I really enjoyed getting to know Alexio & Faith. An unconventional start to a relationship, but nevertheless, they weathered through that particular storm & forged a fantastic bond.

I wholeheartedly recommend this boxset to everyone - The books are sweet, steamy & truly beautiful reads to melt your heart!

Well done Kelli. I need more!

Here are my reviews of these five stories:

Daddy's best friend is a sweet and sexy read. It is filled with humorous dialogs and steamy scenes

Best Friend's Daddy is an intriguing and engrossing story that captivated me from the very beginning. It is an easy read, filled with well thought out characters and a great plot. And if you enjoy the Daddy theme, you will love this book.

Distinguished daddy is an intriguing and steamy romance! If you enjoy your read with a strong beautiful young woman, a sexy older Daddy, an amazing well developed plot and steamy scenes that will make you all hot and bothered, then you will love this story.

Interview with a daddy is a steamy, intriguing and fun read!
Kelli Callahan has a knack for writing captivating and steamy stories, and this is no exception. This is a steamy, intriguing and fun read with great characters and a well developed plot.

Excellent and original series
4.5
I really liked the books in this series (which can be read separately). In general, I do not particularly like stories that are based on the age difference, but Kelli Callahan still manages to find a different point of view, a different approach despite the titles of the stories that are redundant.
Anyway, every story is torrid.

Five stars and nothing less for this box set. I don´t know how this author does this, but more often than not I rate the stories with five stars or at least four stars. This box set of four good Daddy stories really is deserving of the five! These stories are all with the Daddy theme as the title indicates but they are really varied and all good, some just a tad better than the next but so worth it. I had read most of them before but it was a really good feeling to read them again, as it is with some stories, some you can read once every year or so and others not at all... these stories are certainly in the category of reading again and again like most of the stories by this author. All these ones have a good storyline and really good characters. Simply said I just loved all of them.

This is a collection of four younger/older stories featuring daddy doms.

I really enjoy collections for the variety they offer and this one is no exception. Each story is a stand alone with different characters and different situations. They are all well written and you may like some more than others, but they are all entertaining. They all have lots of steam, and most have some D/S and some spanking. If you are looking for BDSM stories, these are not it. But if you like all the elements just mentioned, than stick around for the ride.

One of my favorites from this author is even included in the batch (Interview with a Daddy), so this set comes highly recommended.

This is a brilliant collection of daddy books.
Let me review the first.
Chrissy is fun and vibrant wanting to follow in her father's footsteps. Grayson is his best friend who offers to take her in when she goes to college.
Chrissy's father dies when she was five, she didn't know she needed a daddy until she had one. Grayson needed to protect Chrissy like she was his daughter, however he didn't think that would include disciplining her.
All the books were an enjoyable ready, I highly recommend.
