Being near her is dangerous. Giving in to temptation could destroy my billion-dollar empire. There’s danger closing in that could sweep us both into it. But the more off-limits I tell myself she is, the more I want her, and crave her.
Lacey wants to break the rules. She wants to push me. But I’m not a man to be defied. And Lacey’s going to find out what happens to bad girls who push it too far.
She’s out of control. I am the control. She needs some firm, hard...rules.
This is a novella length standalone contemporary romance. Obsessed OTT alpha hero, inta-love, no cliffhanger and a perfect happy ever after.
A reader first and foremost, Jagger Cole cut his romance writing teeth penning various fan-fiction stories years ago. After deciding to hang up his writing boots, Jagger worked in advertising pretending to be Don Draper. It worked enough to convince a woman way out of his league to marry him, though, which is a total win.
Now, Dad to two little princesses and King to a Queen, Jagger is thrilled to be back at the keyboard.
When not writing or reading romance books, he can be found woodworking, enjoying good whiskey, and grilling outside—rain or shine.
Some things just didn't make sense even if its a very short book! The characters and plot are still interesting but they had an off feeling to them. It had the potential for a much more interesting and packed book as a stand-alone or maybe more if the plot and the twists were well thought through, cause it felt rushed and just trying to solve everything in a few chapters. Which was a disappointment to me.
Hot!! Hot!! Hotttttt!! That is the only way to describe the story. I have read a couple of books by this author and this is his MO. I really enjoy age gap romances and this author does it to a T. Lacey is in definite need of discipline because she is a typical spoilt rich girl running wild with no consequences for her actions. When she plows into Logan‘s mailbox the adventure begins. Logan is her hot, single older neighbor that she has a crush on. With the twist at the ending the story kept me captivated throughout. If you want a smutty novella this is the book for you! I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next.
Lot of smut, this book is a nice, no-brainer romance ,a quick, steamy read full of silly moments. It’s definitely predictable with no real buildup, but that kind of made it fun in its own way. I did find myself skimming at times when it got repetitive, but it was still an enjoyable way to pass the time.
The h was such a brat! But that was kind of the point wasnt it? The sex scenes were on fire 🔥! I enjoyed it overall. I like this author's work for the most part.
I volunteered to review an ARC of Next Door Daddy after having read previous works by this author. I find Cole’s writing captivating. He’s a master storyteller and the condensed form of his novellas tell more in a few pages than some authors can in hundreds. Cole’s characters are well-defined and his storyline unique. This story is different from most steamy romances and that’s what made it so interesting. I read it in a very short time and couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next. Highly recommended to those wanting a quick bit of very sexy distraction.
What I appreciated about Logan is he never tells his VERY young love interest how "mature" she is for her age. And that might be because she's not! Lacey is of the spoiled brat variety and she doesn't hide it... I don't think she even thinks she should hide it.
That's what I liked. The characters are what they are. Don't over-analyze why Logan is attracted to Lacey. This is a book where you just go with it and enjoy the ride and true to Jagger Cole fashion it is a hot ride.
Lacey and Logan's story was good. I think they jumped from neighbors to lovers pretty quickly, but the reader only got a blip of their story of their encounters so that's probably why I feel that way.
I loved when they admitted their feelings, though I'm more into the guy being more initiative than the girl. Lacey had to be the one making all of the decisions, though, because Logan was not going to cross that line... like ever.
I'm glad I read this book to continue my Jagger Cole binge. Just one more book and I'll be all caught up!
This book was just okay for me. I don't know if it was the writing style, the OVER abundance of the word "growl" or the errors here and there but I couldn't connect fully with the story or the characters. Toward the end it did get to be more interesting though, I would've liked that to play a bigger role but that's okay. This being a novella really helped its readability for me. If this were a full length novel I may not have been able to finish it.
Wow!!! I devoured this book in a few hours! Lacey and Logan are next door neighbors and things get Very heated between them! This is a very entertaining storyline with a satisfying ending. Highly recommended if you like a book with some hot sex! I received an advance copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving this review
This is my 2nd book by this author and I fell hard and fast for Lacey and Logan. This was a fast read. Lacey starts a spoiled brat but not a bad person and Logan fought his attraction to her. When it boils up, there's nothing they can do to stop it. I'm so glad I read this story. Yumminess!
Lacey is a Brat! Whiny, opinionated and mouthy, her attitude is on of self-entitlement. Can her older, more disciplined neighbour provide the guidance she needs? Will her defiance lead to a hot backside, or can she learn that respect his given when it's earned? A short and spicy story of OTT sexiness.
Cole, you delicious devil, you. I love how your mind works and how you create such a fun and flirty story that drives me utterly wild for more and more. I devour your words and drink in your characters. They pull me to the brink of lust yet have me falling instantly in love. This story was insanely addictive. It gets all the stars!
Talk about a HOT story! This is your typical older man/younger woman story featuring a naive young girl and a hot alpha male that keeps you wanting more. For a short insta love story, I highly recommend you read this one.
I enjoyed the heck out of it! I find that these novellas are great! I can loose myself for an hour of hotness..and this one had an older man who is so alpha, oh boy! What more can you want??? Blissfully happy and smoking hot story..really, that's all you need ;)
I found this to be a very well written and interesting story. I like all of the characters and found the story flowed well. I received this as an arc in return for my honest review. I would definitely recommend this book.
What can I say, this book is hot. The connection between Logan and Lacey is off the chart. If you are looking for a super quick hot read, this is the book for you. This is the first book I have read from this author, but I will be reading more.
Quick steamy read! If you like age gap romances that happen quickly, this is for you. Does not disappoint when it comes to the hot connection of the main characters. There's even a little twist that was unexpected but good!
Sweet, Sexy and Hot Romance by Jagger Cole. Next Door Daddy was amazing read. I Really Enjoyed reading it and I am going read all other books from this Author next.
I Highly Recommend all Readers to One Click this Book Right now. A Must Must Read for all Readers.
