There was a story that needed to be told,badly.
The story of dr Isaac Miller,because he may be a good doctor,but he keeps people at arms lenght.
And i needed to know why,badly!
Turns out he used to have a little,or so he thought.
Until that “little” decided she liked his brother Archer more....
They’ve not seen eye to eye since,but Archer has had enough and takes him away for a weekend to talk things through.
When they have an accident near their destination,they need new transport.
Only the person coming to the rescue isn’t who they were expecting.....
And the obstacles on the road mean they have to change their plans.
Caley has lived a lonely life after her daddy died.
Not really having any friends takes its toll sometimes,and taking care of things at home is....hard.
When a neighbour calls asking her to help out a friend,she drives her old truck to the spot he mentioned.
The men she meets there are intimidating,cranky and very interesting.
When the only option is taking them to her home,she isn’t sure that’s such a good idea.
Because they make her feel things she shouldn’t.....
Isaac is a real Daddy,and once he finds her little,he takes the reigns.
Archer may be a Dom,but a Daddy? Hmm....
And his brother’s happiness is more important than his own.....right?
This was a journey of healing.
For all three.
Because Caley is hiding from life.
Afraid to take another chance on love.
But so are Isaac and Archer....
Can the brothers find a way to restore the bond between them?
A beautiful story,one i’m very glad i had the opportunity to read the ARC of!
(The 4 stars is only because of the typos,because the story deserves 5....)

If you're looking for co-kinks ménage à trois & DD/lg, you will enjoy reading about how three likeable people wend their way to throuplehood, despite their differences and troubled pasts. Although this is the eighth in a series, it can be read as a stand-alone since, for the most part, it's a cabin romance and the ranch doesn't figure until the end. While I'm not a ménage fan and Caley's Little is younger than I enjoy (bottles), it's impossible not to care for doctor-brothers Archer and Isaac, and the very sweet, very distracted, very vulnerable woman they both fall in love with.
Archer and Isaac have long had a fraught relationship; in an attempt to repair it, the two drive to a remote cabin to spend time together and talk. On their way, they get into a car accident and are rescued by Caley, a romance writer and widow, who allows them to stay at her cabin until they can leave. Isaac, a Daddy Dom, soon discovers that Caley is a Little, and the two form a connection, but where does that leave Archer, also a dominant and also falling for Caley?
There's much to like about this book: easy, informal dialogue; humor (mostly due to Caley's inner monologues, every bit as elaborate as the genre in which she writes); and character growth. As always, I appreciated that this was consensual; that the MFC wasn't a doormat and had her own aspirations and goals; and that the men would do anything for their woman. Finally, I liked that the plural relationship wasn't always smooth sailing: most of these generic books rarely acknowledge jealousy, and for me it was much more realistic that those feelings might occasionally arise.
And a special shout-out to Ms. Roberts' self-reflexivity as Caley role-plays some of her material and concocts plots for her books:
It is, however, too long (we didn't need all these scenes: I started skimming towards the end when the author began to throw in everything except the kitchen sink); as usual, chapters lack transitions; for the most part, the conflicts were organic rather than artificially imposed (which I prefer) until the unnecessary ott-drama with ; and I sometimes had trouble distinguishing between Archer and Isaac's dialogue and inner monologues (pro tip: if you have two men in the scene, don't use "he" and "his" this often).
3 1/2 stars. I would have rated this more highly, but the punishment jar and whiteboard were too controlling and designed to set her up for failure; I felt that the Caley at the beginning of the book would have refused this, and I was disappointed that she lost a lot of her spunk towards the end.

Some stories were like that. She had them all plotted out. Knew where it was going then boom. Suddenly the heroine had a serial killer stepbrother who always considered her to belong to him and didn’t want to share.This, indeed, is very, very true of this genre!

4.5 stars.
I absolutely love this book. The amount of love that just radiates off the page is honestly, overwhelming at times.
Not only do they have to get Caley to start healing and accept them as hers, they also have to heal themselves and their relationship so they can be brothers again and share her.
It’s really fun watching them all try and figure out how.
Once again, the second read was even better than the first.
This is another one of my favorites, probably a tiny bit closer to the top than the others. But I can’t actually choose just one of them to be favorite so not too much closer.
Only thing about this book I wish was different is the amount of time we get with all three of them together.
It’s not much.
Only just the last 20% or so.
Not enough time in my opinion.
Still.
I loved it. Of course.

Love Archer and Doc.
Their little sibling bickering and taunts are super amusing.
Still wish there was more time spent with Archer specifically, but I came out happy overall with the relationships, and literally everything else was so good that I didn’t even care.

I love menage so this immediately caught my attention. I love Laylah Roberts books, especially this series so it was a no brainer for me to read it! I love how Doc and Archer had to learn how to work together to take care of Caley. She's living in a run down place that she doesn't even know how to take care of. Events in her past has left her alone and not focusing on taking care of herself but that is about to change. Both men fall in love with her but don't even consider sharing her between them. Can they work it out and does Caley even want that? This whole story made me laugh, made me cry and made me feel all the emotions. Ms. Roberts books enable me to escape into a beautiful world and she did just that with this one.

Family of three
Boy, these three have overly,stuffed baggage to work through. Been looking forward to Doc’s story. The three of them stand up for what they want. It’s a hard fight and a bit of push pull for all three. Great ending! The ginger scene made me laugh out loud.

Loved it! Until about 60% I was set on a 4½ star rating, but then... The second half of the book really wowed me! I love DD/lg and I love menage and I love Laylah Roberts. 5 stars

The story is interesting. The description of Caley's house is really funny. However, some editing is needed especially in the first few chapters. I found myself confused who is talking: Archer or Issac. Also, there is some repitition that could be easily eliminated so the story moves more smoothly . Another rewrite can improve the book because it has a lot of potentials.

This is definitely not my typical book/genre. The story revolves around two brothers, Doc and Archer, and a Little named Caley. The brothers are estranged and have issues between them and Caley in essence becomes their savior. The three enter a ménage à trois, something I don't think I've read before. I did like the way she was able to help the brothers heal their relationship. I did like all three characters and almost gave it 3 stars but in the end just couldn't.

Doc. Grumpy (as Caley calls him) is more than he first appears. Through the little glimpses we have received in the previous stories, the expectation of his story was enormous. And this one delivers. There is a statement he makes "whatever you are comfortable with. I think your Little is adorable, and I would love to spend more time with her." Caley's past has left her scared and uncertain about her Little. His gruffness and lack of charm on one hand is balanced by his care and concern on the other. Adding Archer (his psychiatrist brother) into the mix, with their tempestuous past, and learning more about the family they come from just shows how much new beginnings and fresh starts really mean everything.

I am not fond of books about Littles especially ones that involve pacifiers, diapers, fluffy dresses etc. I read this because I really like Laylah Roberts books and this has no diapers but does have bottles and pacifiers. However this book disappointed me on other grounds. There is too many uses of pronouns that don’t connect with what has happened before. This makes the reading flow less easily. The worst example is at Kindle location 5208. Archer is talking about telling his family he is a Dom and shares a Little with his brother Issy. It goes No worse than expected love, Archer told her. Then it is written ‘ you didn’t need to do that he told his brother’. Now that is Issy speaking but that doesn’t become clear until the next sentence indicates by content only that it is Issy. The book has many uses of he, him and brother used with little indication of who the he, him or brother is. I like writing that flows smoothly and I don’t have to ponder about who is saying or doing what. The story line is interesting and if you love Sanctuary Ranch, Daddy Doms and Littles I am sure you will think I am too picky. Perhaps but I have read thousands of books over my lifetime most edited well. If authors are paying editors they should get their money’s worth. In the earlier part of the hook a beer appears when in fact there is no beer in the cabin. Picky? Maybe but that is who I am.

Loved this! I'm always here for a good "oh no, we're forced to stay in this cabin together, whatever will we do!!"
The separate relationships here well developed so well and while it took some time for them to work up to a full poly relationship, I think that time was necessary for us too fully appreciate their relationship in the end!
These are characters that we've been teased with basically since book 1 and I'm so glad their book didn't disappoint. I love that the FMC wasn't in her twenties either, age gap doesn't always have to be 20 y/o girls getting with 40 y/o men (because that's honestly weird!)
So – really really loved this, I stayed up reading till my eyes closed, still have some criticisms:
– Caley's dead ex seems like such a dick! We get so many hints imo, he was fired for a DUI and kept drinking w/o telling Caley, he didn't have any training as a Dom, they didn't use safewords, etc etc. I get that she was grieving but I hoped we'd at least get a small conversation about it towards the end
– as others have said, sometimes Isaac and Archer are hard to differentiate esp in their own POVs and with the over-the-top use of "he, him, his"
As I said in my last review, these books have really been picking up plot-wise! It was something I didn't think I'd like when I started the series but I think it's a good mix between plot and spice

I was so hyped for Doc’s story and it was awesome! Doc and Archer together? That’s a dream come true for any lucky girl. They are out of this world Alpha Males and sweet and sexy as sin. I fell for them on page one! This story makes you feel every insta feeling right along with Caley. The heartbreak, loneliness and longing are just the beginning as she slowly starts to live again. I would happily have these two as my Daddy and Papa. I recommend this book very highly if you like Daddy stories!

This is a beautiful story full of hope and love and new beginnings. If you want a story that will make you cry, make you laugh and leave you feeling happy this is it. It is a story about new beginnings and hope and happiness in an unusual situation. There is tragedy but that tragedy becomes the impetus for a really good change. As you read the last words you will sigh and feel completely fulfilled, an amazing book.

Struggled whether to give this 2 or 3 stars.
The story/plot line was great. Nice to see a ménage relationship develop from scratch, where no one is looking for or wanting that kind of relationship from the start.
However, there were certain parts, particularly the hot and sexy stuff, that seemed pretty rushed. Like maybe the author meant to go back and expound a little and fill in the details - but forgot, or got in a hurry and didn’t have time.
Like the first kiss. I mean - that’s an important part of a romance book! And it was just like, “he kissed her.” Blam, that’s it! That’s all you get! Well, the next sentence states that it was intense and hot, but you don’t get any more details than that! SHOW me da*n it! Doesn’t the author know I live vicariously thru these books! Especially now with Covid - forget a dating drought - it’s a parched wasteland! And I **NEED** my hot and heavy romance books, now of all times! Sheesh!

I enjoyed reading about the brothers and watching as they healed Caley.
Some edits needed to know who is talking sometimes.
A little long.
All up a solid read about daddies and littles

I absolutely love the Montana Daddies series, but I think this one is going to be my favorite so far. It could have a lot to do with the menage aspect to the story. Also that I really loved these characters. The angsty relationship between the brothers was just a wonderful element. LOVED IT!!!!

A wonderful Ménage addition to this series
Two brothers that had grown up together but had been split by the corrupt lies of their parents and the fact that only one of them had always been treated as though he was far less important, less loved and this had affected him without him actually ever admitting the pain and anguish caused.
Archer who is the older of the two brother and is also a Psychiatrist dealing with upper end patients, with his own practice earning a good salary that allowed him to have the best of everything, including living in a very expensive penthouse apartment in the city and eating out at very expensive restaurants so totally different from his younger brother Isaac.
Isaac had served in the Navy as a doctor and had gone on to work in the medical hospitals he is an excellent doctor but has become rather disillusioned with city living and has been living on Sanctuary ranch where he looks after the needs of the staff and their families and this keeps him more that busy, there are always plenty of curve balls and yet he considers these follks as family. He has not seen his brother for some time and once again Archer has reached out to him and arranged for them to spend a weekend away in the hope that they can get back onto a firm footing, Isaac has missed Archer but is rather stubborn when it come to putting things into words.
The trip had all gone to hell after an accident and they had been rescued by a very helpful young woman Caley who had been a rather sad and lonely individual, she was living in a small cabin in the middle of nowhere with faulty appliance, no food and poor maintenance. It was nearly winter and there was no firewood and the repair of the cabin was also poor and both Isaac and Archer could see that she was no caring for herself and the story was so much more painful than they could imagine. As they spend time with her, they see how much she is desperately in need od a Daddy to care for her but her heart is hurting and Archer warns Issy that he must take things carefully so that she does not close down on them.
When the holiday come to an end and Archer has to return to hiss practice he has to drag himself away he has felt so at home with Isaac and Caley and he would like to stay with them but realise that this would interfere with the relationship his brother is building with the little, but it hurts him so much to walk away as though someone has turned off the sun and taken away all the air in the room he feels so miserable but swears to give them space. realise how easily they could have lost the most precious person and know that they have to start manning up ad discussing things.
This is a truly wonderful addition to the series it will be totally impossible not to enjoy it and even though the ménage element gives this story a slightly different edge you will find this even more interesting. The characters have been beautifully written and the plot and storyline was a delight.

The couple: Archer, Isaac (Doc), and Caley
Romance genre: menage/DDlg
Series: Montana Daddies
Length: 338 pages
Plot: We've met Doc before in this series; he treats the Littles on the ranch (the men too, but that's not usually included on page). We've heard Archer mentioned; he's Doc's brother, and things aren't so great between them. They're on a weekend trip to a cabin to try and reconnect when they get in a little accident and Doc is hurt. The friend they're borrowing the cabin from sends a local friend of his to pick them up, and that's how we meet Caley. She's a widow struggling to get her life together. They all clash - so much. But the weather conspires against them and Caley ends up taking them back to her home where they have to stay for about a week. In that time, Archer and Doc are able to talk about their issues, and Doc takes the chance to be Caley's Daddy. But Archer wants her to; he also wants to keep things good with Doc. How can they all get what they want and need without hurting anyone? That's the question, and the answer will go to the very end of the story.
Character development: Doc (or Issy as Caley and Archer call him) has always been grumpy and short-tempered, but we find out why in this book. He's been sorely mistreated by his parents, and there was an incident involving a girlfriend and Archer (but not to Archer's discredit). He was still grumpy in this book, but it was more of a personality trait here rather than a sore spot like it was earlier in the series. Archer, in my opinion, could seem a little uptight sometimes, but I felt so bad for him because he obviously loved and admired his brother and just wanted to mend fences with him (and he was missing part of the story as well - there were things he didn't know). Caley was a hot mess, but for reasons. She was still grieving her husband, but also very much grieving her life. He took care of all of the day-to-day things, and it was all falling apart around her. She had money, but she didn't have the capacity to get things done. Her house was a mess, her appliances - well, that didn't end well! And we find that maybe her husband wasn't even the saint you would think from Caley's POV - . There were a lot of layers in this book, with the theme of the three of them coming together to give each other what they needed (things they hadn't been able to get from anyone else). Also,we find out that Caley is .
One of the unusual aspects of this book is that the menage part of it doesn't happen until near the end. Normally, menage stories feature acouple of guys that have been looking for a woman to complete them, and they may have even shared women before. That wasnt anywhere close to the case here, and it took awhilebefore everyone could come to grips with the idea of a working menage relationship. It was an interesting take.

Romance genre: menage/DDlg
Series: Montana Daddies
Length: 338 pages
Plot: We've met Doc before in this series; he treats the Littles on the ranch (the men too, but that's not usually included on page). We've heard Archer mentioned; he's Doc's brother, and things aren't so great between them. They're on a weekend trip to a cabin to try and reconnect when they get in a little accident and Doc is hurt. The friend they're borrowing the cabin from sends a local friend of his to pick them up, and that's how we meet Caley. She's a widow struggling to get her life together. They all clash - so much. But the weather conspires against them and Caley ends up taking them back to her home where they have to stay for about a week. In that time, Archer and Doc are able to talk about their issues, and Doc takes the chance to be Caley's Daddy. But Archer wants her to; he also wants to keep things good with Doc. How can they all get what they want and need without hurting anyone? That's the question, and the answer will go to the very end of the story.
Character development: Doc (or Issy as Caley and Archer call him) has always been grumpy and short-tempered, but we find out why in this book. He's been sorely mistreated by his parents, and there was an incident involving a girlfriend and Archer (but not to Archer's discredit). He was still grumpy in this book, but it was more of a personality trait here rather than a sore spot like it was earlier in the series. Archer, in my opinion, could seem a little uptight sometimes, but I felt so bad for him because he obviously loved and admired his brother and just wanted to mend fences with him (and he was missing part of the story as well - there were things he didn't know). Caley was a hot mess, but for reasons. She was still grieving her husband, but also very much grieving her life. He took care of all of the day-to-day things, and it was all falling apart around her. She had money, but she didn't have the capacity to get things done. Her house was a mess, her appliances - well, that didn't end well! And we find that maybe her husband wasn't even the saint you would think from Caley's POV - . There were a lot of layers in this book, with the theme of the three of them coming together to give each other what they needed (things they hadn't been able to get from anyone else). Also,we find out that Caley is .
One of the unusual aspects of this book is that the menage part of it doesn't happen until near the end. Normally, menage stories feature acouple of guys that have been looking for a woman to complete them, and they may have even shared women before. That wasnt anywhere close to the case here, and it took awhilebefore everyone could come to grips with the idea of a working menage relationship. It was an interesting take.

I enjoyed this installment of the series. I was looking forward to reading Doc's book and I am not disappointed. Doc is still a bit gruff and rough around the edges but I think it went well with his sweet side as well as an offset of Archer's personality.
Caley was an interesting character and her past definitely added a different element that we haven't seen previously. Caley like most of our other heroines was a bit of a walking disaster but in this case, it didn't bother me as much because there were reasons for it that I think were very valid . I really liked that since her past gave her experience with power exchange, she was aware of what it was and also quite firm with Doc when he initially tried to "Dom" her and stated that she had not agreed to be his sub and thus he had no right, YASSSS GIRL! I liked that Archer would also reign in Doc when he went too far.
I liked Archer so I wish we got more time to get to know him. I would say most of the story is about the relationship between Caley and Doc as well as Doc and Archer. We didn't really get a lot of the three of them together or just Archer and Caley till the very end. I guess my wish was that the three of them got together earlier so we could actually see them working out the relationship.
I am glad that the plot and conflicts didn't go too crazy in this one. I do not think the assistant and parents storyline was necessary but it wasn't a big enough part to bring down the story for me.
There was one scene that I really did not like but I will admit that it might come down to more personal preference so it would not be fair for me to take off stars for it. The scene was .
Overall, I enjoyed the book but wish we got to actually explore the three of them in a relationship more.

So this is Doc/Archer/and Caley. I'm not into ménage but sometimes if it's done right it can be ok. With Laylah's books, the longer they are, the more boring they get. This book is almost 400 pages, which is about 200 pages too long. Because of all the boring crap it only gets 2 stars. The relationship between Archer & Doc is more enjoyable than the actual coupling of the 3 of them. The fact that we have nearly 400 pages with the only sex coming in at about 90% finish - it makes for a long and crappy read.
This is a general review of Laylah's ddlg fics: (1) The shorter the book the better it is. This one was too long so it gets boring. (2) All of Laylah's books lack sex. They're all more story driven. In her books, you'll be lucky if you get one sexual encounter. There's a lot of teasing, but not much of the actual act. There's also always the lead up to a** play, but never happens. So if you read her fics for sexy times - you'll be disappointed. (3) every single female in her books have a habit of saying their thoughts out loud and then getting embarrassed about it. I'm on like the 15th book and reading about 15 women that are shocked when they blurt out something they were thinking is getting a little old. (4) In every book there's a scene where the male will ask her to go pee and it's a big deal about being embarrassed. Again, after the 15th book I'm tired of reading the same thing. (5) almost all of the girls read ddlg fics, yet when they meet the man they're shocked that he suggests it. They're all fantasizing over the same thing so why not just go with it?
That being said - I like all of her stories just about. I've read all of the MC Daddies series and I'm actually on book 7 in this series. They're good.

I have read all the books in this series and each one was excellent. This book, however, Tops them all! (Bad pun intended ☺). I have read all the books in this series, and they have all been very good or great. So, I opened this one with high expectations. Well, author Laylah Roberts blew even my highest expectations away!
Caley is a successful writer, but her personal life is a mess. It doesn’t make her less of a wonderful person – she is just overburdened and overwhelmed beyond what she can handle With Isaac, Caley can let herself relax and be vulnerable, and be secure in the knowledge that he will take care of her. She feels that she can tell Archer anything and he is helping to heal her wounded soul. But life is complicated. How can she figure out how to move on, and in which directions to move on?
I don’t give spoilers, and I don’t like to take your time up with what you see in the blurb. I do want to tell you that the dialogue and banter in this book is top notch, and the conversations between the lead characters had me laughing from the first paragraph onward. I laughed frequently, and more than once I cried. I was shocked about good things that happened, and about traumas that the lead characters endured. The steamy scenes really deliver, and are as well-written as the rest of the story. This story has a lot more emotion than you would expect, and the happy ever after is triumphant. It’s an understatement to say that I really enjoyed this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Complicated Love
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2020

Honestly,everytime I read a book in this series,it gets better and better.My first
impression was that this was going to be just another age play romance,and it
was,but in reality it was so much more than that.
My heart ached for each of the characters for different reasons.Doc's life had
hardened him .He carried a huge chip on his shoulder and was holding onto
foolish,misplaced anger.He had buried his emotions deep.Will he let go of the
past and reconnect with his brother,and also be the Daddy he was meant to be.
Archer need to reunite with his brother and clear up past misunderstandings
that have left him vulnerable.Once again,life had thrown him a curve ball.If
he does follow his deepest desires and stay and fight for love,he would also
be fighting his brother.I felt like giving Archer a shove in the right direction
at times.
Caley was lost,alone and afraid.Life and been so cruel leaving her overwhelmed.
She had carried the burden and hurt for so long that it was eating her away.Grief
and loneliness was all she knew until the day she rescued Doc and Archer.I loved
Caley when she was in her little space.She was so carefree and without the guilt
that plagued her.
The plot had such depth and was full of emotions and turmoil.The characters were
real and believable.I just loved this age play story.It had the right blend of sweet and
tender.My favourite parts are the quiet moments that show the depth of understanding
needed in a age play relationship.This book will definitely be on my reread list.

1 MILLION STARS FOR HEAL ME DADDY
Three hearts. Two brothers. One Little. And a whole cabin full of healing.
Caley wasn’t looking for love—especially not with two overprotective, emotionally bruised brothers. But whew, when these men show up, they don’t just barge into her world… they rebuild it with their bare hands and Daddy hearts.
This story gave us:
• 💔 A gentle Little grieving and guarded
• 😤 A growly, possessive Daddy (Isaac) who loves hard and disciplines harder
• 🧠 A stoic, selfless Dom (Archer) who slow burns his way into Daddyhood
• 🏔️ Forced proximity in an isolated cabin with high emotional stakes
• 🔥 A spicy, safe, swoon-worthy MFM dynamic with mutual love, respect, and shared devotion to their girl
Caley doesn’t just fall for one man—she falls for both. And what makes this story so damn satisfying is that the brothers fall for her and fight through their fractured relationship to form something new and stronger—together.
By the end, you’re not just cheering for Caley’s healing—you’re swooning over the way she gets her happily-ever-after with two Daddies who’d do anything to protect her soft heart.
Laylah Roberts doesn’t write fluff—she writes fire, feels, and full-blown fantasy fulfillment. The aftercare is divine, the emotional arcs are deep, and the Daddy vibes are absolutely off the charts.
This book gets 1 million stars, infinite praise, and a permanent place on my reread shelf. I’m smiling just thinking about them.

July 8, 2020Heal Me, Daddy is book 8 in the Montana Daddies series and 100% can be read as a stand alone. Ahhh, give me a grumpy, crotchety Daddy any day if the week. I’ve been looking forward to Doc’s story for a bit now and was not disappointed.
Doc and Archer are brothers that were close in their formative years, and beyond. In a difficult time in their relationship, they’re heading to a weekend vacation, with the goal of working on healing the rift. They obviously very much appreciate and love each other, but are both struggling with themselves and each other, to forgive and move forward.
Caley is a Little choosing to live in solitude after personal tragedy. Stagnate as days pass and convinced this is what she wants and needs.
Doc and Archer balance each other, like only two people can, with a lifelong history and understanding based in love and respect. Each have their own strengths and knowledge that allow them to see and connect with Caley. To understand where she is and what she needs. Their ability to communicate and advise each other, is key in making this a true romantic menage with three unique and distinct individuals. All three grow to appreciate each other, each other’s needs, strengths and weaknesses in their own way. Creating strong, crisscrossing bonds, tying themselves together.
This is a HEA. There is no sexual or romantic feeling or contact between the brothers. This book has spanking and hawt sexual scenes.
I absolutely recommend this book, author and series.

I have enjoyed each book in this series, and I love that each book has it's own style and path to its HEA. For this one, the path took a sweeter, more emotional journey and I'm here for it. My heart broke so many times, and my eyes teared up more than once. Another thing that made this one different was the inclusion of Archer. If you have read any of the previous book, and you should, then you already know that Doc is a Daddy. Archer, however, doesn't see himself in that role. This dynamic shifts some things in the story. There is also the trauma that Doc and Caley have experienced. I loved that Ms. Roberts didn't just gloss over the trauma, and instead had the characters deal with it in an honest and realistic way. It made everything more believable, whereas, I feel that glossing over it would have cheapened the relationship they built together. These emotional issues made the story seem to flow a little bit slower, but it also created more of an emotional connection to the characters, so their HEA was even more amazing.
I loved getting to finally see why Doc was such a grump, and it was lovely seeing Caley finally heal from the pain she suffered. I can't wait to see who's story is next!

Doc (Issac) and his brother Archer are heading to an isolated cabin to work on the differences between them when they hit a storm and become stranded. Their rescuer is Caley - a Little with an enormous shield around herself that they may need to learn to work together to get past it. Caley is not interested in the real world after a crushing loss and prefers to live in her head writing stories with the HEA she knows she will never have. She is not interested in risking her heart again even though she is surrounded by two possessive Daddies with sweet promises and hot looks that call to her.
I enjoyed this story which contained two brothers with a major roadblock that needed to be solved, Little Caley who was just surviving and a pull between the men and the Little that started off separately but eventually morphed into the promise of a perfect combination for them all if they could work together. There was a lot about emotions, relationships and loss in this book, but also the needs of a Little, a Daddy and how they went together. I was thrilled when it ended with the HEA that they all deserved. Contains mature content of a BDSM nature of a DDLG variety. It also features an MFM relationship.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. I absolutely love Laylah's writing and her Montana Daddies series is one of my favorites. I really enjoy the menage aspect of this book. Poor Caley, ever since she lost her Daddy, her little has been in a tailspin. She is barely getting thru and not living at all. Doc and Archer are estranged brothers with a rough history. One is a Daddy Dom and the other is just a Dom. They meet her on a trip that the brothers go on together. They are trying to work on their problems. Everything about Caley, including her little side, calls to these men. She finds herself attracted to both of the closed off doms. But the chance of turning this menage into something permanent seems unlikely. They must overcome their own internal demons to find a hea together. I highly recommend this book. The storyline is written very well with lots of internal conflict and steam between the characters. If DDlg and menage are your type of genre, you will not want to miss reading this book!

This is Doc's story. He and his brother Archer go away for a weekend to try and get to know one another again after a falling out between them. They have an accident and Caley agrees to come and pick them up to take them to a friends house. Unfortunately the creek has risen and they con't get by. She brings them back and that is the start of their story. Archer and Isaac (Doc) Are attracted to Caley right away. Caley is attracted to them as well. She has had a difficult time recently with her previous daddy dying in a car crash. She is living on her own, but she is absent minded and just concentrates on writing, not day to day details including eating and getting enough rest. Isaac instantly starts to daddy her without her even realizing it. But, what about Archer? There is a lot they have to go though and deal with before they get their HEA. I loved this story and the whole series. I can't wait for the next book in the series!

Daddy & Papa's Little Girl
I am blown away...just when I think Laylah can't make this series any better she proves me wrong...big time.
I can honestly say I've never read a menage that starts out with the those involved like this...the how they met and connect, the "how" of the relationship starting and developing and who is brought into the fold last...Laylah shook all of what I've come to know and expect in a menage up and I couldn't be happier.
Caley actually has a tie to Sanctuary and I was thrilled to connect those dots early on and was beyond excited for those pieces to unfold.
Learning about grumpy Doc was also eye opening...this far into a series and him being around in the background, the reasons for Doc's mannerisms and moods was something I was super curious about....mystery solved.
I'm so thrilled that Caley gets another shot at her HEA (go read the book explains what I mean cuz I'm not!), she'd been through SO much and deserved all the happiness and kindness in the world.
