I read only those novels where the heroine is a virgin, and she has sex only with the hero. There are very few dark books with such parameters. This book is very dark and fits what I need! I was delighted, I read it twice since the release date. It's not enough for me, I want more!
If you do not like reading about the subordination of a woman to a man abuser, then this is not for you.
“I don’t have a second heart for you to break.”

He loves her in his haunting, twisted ways. He did everything for her, and she only needs to accept his terrorizing control.
Zeno likes perfection with flaws; she is his perfection until she isn’t.
To everyone, he’s insanely obsessive. To her, he’s a man who loves her too much.
Her first times are his second chances.
Some things aren’t worth remembering, and he’s one of the nightmares that should stay forgotten.
He’s a walking contradiction; a consequence of his fixation.
Black specks of corruption would spread behind her eyes; riled indignant circles in her throat as acid burns with woeful sorrow.
Thief, scoundrel, villain—her voice, so familiar yet foreign, condemns him.
He’s wild and unhinged, like a monster.

This was deliciously fucked up and dark. Do not expect the anti-hero Zeno to have any redeeming qualities....and that's what I loved about him. Petra was a fighter too and it was amazing to witness the absolute mindfuck Zeno cooked up for her despite all that she'd gone through before the amnesia.
Boy, did this book's tragic ending kick every HEAs ass for me. Loved it🖤

The first book I read by this author, Professor Nixon, was a dark romance involving an obsessed man, but you never doubted the heroine would be loved, protected and cared for by the hero. It even ended with a happily-ever-after. So I thought I knew what to expect in Daddy’s Pet, but this book goes well beyond dark and I wouldn’t categorize it as a romance. The male main character, Zeno, is mentally aberrant to a degree that pushes this book into some outright gory scenes. For instance, at one point he grinds the heroine’s injured, bleeding thigh to the ground to “ensure that her wound would stick to the floor.” Professing love for Petra, Zeno shifts from occasional tender interludes to dispassionate viciousness. It was well-crafted, but not for me.

Disappointing !
Usually I love this authors books and the men she writes about but this story of Petra and Zeno just doesn't work for me. He is literally just too crazy and also there's nothing likeable about him.
On the positive side it is well-written.
Petra is bought by Zeno and tries to kill herself but only suceeds in giving herself amnesia, and Zeno a second chance with the woman he is obsessed with... until she remembers.

Be warned this is a dark read and not for everyone. Zeno plans on showing Petra what it truly means to be owned by him. Intense read with loads of drama and steam. Great characters with lots of depth and a story that really draws you in. I really liked it.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is a dark short story that takes you beyond dominance and submission. It was darker than I usually enjoy. For me, Zeno was hard to connect to as a character

This is the very dark romance between Zeno and Petra. The story opens with Petra waking up with no memory of her husband or the life they shared. All she knows is that she was injured and had been under a doctor’s care. Zeno, her husband, tells her she was injured when she fell off the balcony. He keeps an eye on her at all times and does not want to let her out of his sight which she thinks is a bit excessive. She is feeling suffocated in the house with him always at hand and wants to get out. One day when he is on a work call she does manage to sneak out of the house and walk downtown but he eventually finds her in an art gallery where she has been sitting for quite some time admiring a painting. He buys her the picture and brings her home. He also extracts her promise not to ever leave the house without telling him where she is going. Petra has the feeling he is not the kind man he purports to be as she has seen flashes of the monster she thinks lurks within him. We, the reader, are let into Zeno’s mind and know he wants to control her and make her love him and only him. Petra finally gets her memory back and remembers what hell their relationship was and how she came to fall off the balcony. The nightmare that follows is too real and the ending I never saw coming was a real surprise.

Petra woke up with a head wound and partial amnesia in a strange man’s home. Zeno was obsessed with Petra and worked on the dark side of the law. The DDLg relationship that Zeno wanted with Petra was one of total control and submission and pain and was on the dark side also. But when Petra and Zeno had their second chance their fast relationship was altered making it exciting, scary, interesting, unwanted but needed at times. Interesting read

Zeno et Petra
Monstre humain
Ceci n'est pas une relation amoureuse
Salomon (Homme d'affaire, contrat avec Zeno)
Euhhh, Suintant, humide et notion de consensualite inexistant.
Possession et manipulation au premier plan, pas beaucoup de scenes salaces mais beaucoup d'inacceptation.
Relecture et toujours aussi intense.
📖
« Je n'ai pas de deuxième cœur à te briser. »
Zeno franchit toutes les limites. Sa chérie en est la preuve.
Il l'aime avec son amour obsédant et pervers. Il a tout fait pour elle, et elle n'a qu'à accepter son emprise terrifiante.
Zeno aime la perfection avec ses défauts ; elle est sa perfection jusqu'à ce qu'elle ne le soit plus.
Aux yeux de tous, il est follement obsessionnel. Pour elle, c'est un homme qui l'aime trop.
Ses premières fois sont ses secondes chances.
Certaines choses ne valent pas la peine d'être rappelées, et il est l'un de ces cauchemars qu'il faut oublier.
C'est une contradiction ambulante, conséquence de sa fixation.
Des taches noires de corruption se répandraient derrière ses yeux ; des cercles d'indignation irrités lui brûleraient la gorge, tandis que l'acide la brûlerait d'un chagrin lamentable.
Voleur, scélérat, méchant : sa voix, si familière et pourtant étrangère, le condamne.
Il est sauvage et dérangé, tel un monstre.

🖋
« Comment vas-tu, chérie ? » demande-t-il d’une voix grave et glaçante.
Les diables ne sourient pas.
Il s'avance, me forçant à reculer. Son bras puissant attrape ma taille trop naturellement et me serre contre sa poitrine tandis qu'il tapote sur la petite boîte.
L'alarme hurlante s'éteint au milieu du cri, et le silence paralysant m'envahit.
Qui est-il ?
Il sent la rosée du matin et le musc capiteux, ce parfum addictif qui s'accroche à moi.
Je regarde la porte avec envie, mais l'homme massif attire mon attention en serrant plus fort ma taille.
« Tu devrais te reposer », me réprimande-t-il doucement en embrassant ma tempe.
Son souffle chaud me brûle la peau. Je ravale un gémissement instinctif et refoule mon anxiété.
« Chéri ? » demande-t-il d’un ton interrogateur.
Il pose sa paume sur mon front, vérifiant ma température tandis que ses yeux ambrés se fixent sur les miens. Son contact provoque une peur qui envahit mon corps et s'envenime au fond de mon esprit.
Je ne sais pas qui il est. Il ne devrait pas me toucher avec autant d'affection. Son bras est comme un cobra qui m'enserre, m'attirant plus profondément dans ses bras et m'intimidant.
« Viens avec moi », murmure-t-il.
Il m'éloigne de la porte qui m'appelle. Je ne comprends pas comment une maison aussi gigantesque peut me faire sentir à ce point étouffée.
Le salon est plus lumineux maintenant, le soleil perçant à travers les nuages épais. Il ne me laisse pas admirer la vue et me conduit simplement vers le canapé spacieux.
Il laisse tomber son téléphone sur la table basse. Le cliquetis me fait sursauter. Il me détourne et me caresse les épaules tendues pour me réconforter.
Mais ce n’est pas réconfortant ; c’est étrangement possessif.
« Pourquoi as-tu enlevé le bandage ? » me demande-t-il en me réprimandant.
Je me recroqueville, le cœur serré par le malaise. J'ai tant de questions, mais j'ai peur de les poser. Cet homme fait naître en moi une peur sans pareille.
Peut-être que j'exagère, car je ne me souviens plus de qui il est ni de ce qu'il représente pour moi. Mais je devrais, il est sur notre photo de mariage.
« Est-ce que ça fait encore mal ? » demande-t-il en écartant mes cheveux et en appuyant son pouce près de la douloureuse entaille à l’arrière de ma tête.
Il évite les points de suture mais est suffisamment proche pour provoquer une douleur lancinante.
.
« Je suis ton mari, Zeno. » L'homme repousse une mèche de cheveux derrière mon oreille et embrasse le frisson sur mes lèvres.
C'est un petit bisou doux, rien d'extraordinaire, mais ça m'a coupé le souffle.
Cela ne fait que créer encore plus de confusion qu’avant.
.
Je teste son nom sur ma langue, mais il me laisse un goût amer. Son regard ambré et aveuglant s'assombrit d'un sourire trop glacial pour une belle journée d'été.
« Je suis « papa » pour toi, Petra. »
Son indifférence décomplexée fait battre mon cœur à tout rompre. Je lève les yeux et plonge mon regard dans son regard déterminé. L'oppression de sa puissante emprise sur mon bras me réduit au silence.
« Je… quoi ? » je murmure, incrédule.
Je l'appelle « Papa ? »
Je suis sûr que ce n'est pas vrai. Je déteste les mots doux ; ils me donnent envie de creuser un trou et de me cacher.
Il y a quelque chose dans la façon dont Zeno m’appelle sa chérie qui suscite à la fois des sentiments de réconfort et d’appréhension.
« Tu as insisté », dit-il.
Je ne m'en souviens pas, et une partie de moi ne veut pas se souvenir de ce moment.
« Je l’ai fait ? » je marmonne timidement.
Il me soulève du sol et me prend dans ses bras. Mes mains s'agrippent au dos de son costume ajusté tandis que j'entoure son corps massif.
Le pouce de Zeno me caresse la lèvre inférieure avec une pression autoritaire. Je pince les lèvres, l'hésitation envahissant ma langue épaisse. Je n'ai pas d'autre choix que d'essayer ; je ne veux pas savoir ce qui se passera si je m'oppose à lui.
« Papa », je murmure.
C'est un mot familier, un titre de domination qui me fait frémir. C'est naturel, et je m'inquiète des conséquences que cela peut avoir.
Est-ce une bonne ou une mauvaise chose de l’appeler ainsi ?
Ce que je sais, c'est que je ne me sentais pas mal à l'aise en le disant. Bizarrement, je cherchais plutôt une approbation. Je ne m'en suis pas rendu compte au début.
« Il faudra du temps pour s'y habituer », dit Zeno d'un ton détaché. « Tu m'appelleras comme ça en privé. »
C'est un ordre, et je n'ai pas le droit de m'y opposer. Il me parle comme si j'avais des souvenirs de nous deux. C'est nouveau pour moi ; j'ai besoin de temps pour m'adapter.
Je suis marié, pour l'amour du ciel !
Il n'y a pas eu de transition pour aborder ce sujet. Je suis épuisé par cette conversation, et l'épuisement me gagne. Je pensais que la surcharge sensorielle était terrible, mais là, c'est encore pire.
Zeno rit d'une voix rauque et m'embrasse pour attirer mon attention. Je prends une grande inspiration et la retiens tandis qu'il m'observe avec impatience.
Je râle honteusement : « Oui, papa. »
Pourquoi ai-je peur de mon mari ?

When Petra awakes after an accident she doesnt recognise the man that says hes her husband not the house they share, but she feels an underlying fear every time he is near. Zeno is a man who likes to dominate, his love for Petra is obsessive he loves her perfectionists flaws. Zeno may not have a second heart for Petra to break but she is his second chance, but for Petra this will all be her first times. Can Zeno make petra fall in love with him? He failed by being her nightmare but could becoming her dream be the difference this time?
I didnt think Celia Crown could get more dark, manipulative and twisting but she has! And devilishly well! The story has you hooked from the start, captivated by Petra and Zenos twisting story, that refuses to let you go and drives your imagination wild with suspense and desires!

This is a dark romance that isnt for the squimish or the faint hearted as its filled with manipulation, obsessive and twisted behavior and violence..
The male characters are often handsome and successful but will give you whip lash with their erratic behavior, they will love the female to a point of obsession be it by smothering them in love or often in pain. A darkness lurks within them that they will unleash on the women they love uncovering the monster that they are.
This novel will have you gasping in shock as it slowly unravels the lengths a man will go to to keep the woman he loves under his control.......and Zeno is one of the few lucky ones as he gets a second chance to get Petra to fall in love him.....a must the read

Wow! Celia Crown's stories are always dark and have me enthralled from the beginning and this story did not disappoint. Zeno is a very dark individual who is obsessed with Petra and loves her truly in his own sick and twisted way. He tries to be gentle with her but his dark side tends to take over his consciousness a lot. Some of the things he does seem sweet and some are cringe worthy. I like how the reader is left wondering the whole time about how Petra and Zeno's story truly enfolded and where it will go. Such a dark and extremely twisted read that I enjoyed.

This story was really intense. It took you in so many directions, it was twisted, depraved, sinfully good and dark. This was darker than most of her other books with more violence than before towards the female. This is the first time that I've read where the male lead enjoyed hurting his female. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I want to read it again but a little slower. There is nothing romantic about this book. I think I like it better when the male character only wants to hurt other and not the female he professes to love. I can't wait to read the next story. This was frightening in places.

Where can I start? This story was full of suspense, wanting to know what truly happen with Petra and what her Daddy is doing to her. There were small twists and her Daddy loves her in his own way, even though it was his twisted way. If you’re into the very dark and twisted romance, this would be a treat for you; but read this with an open mind! The author uses a lot of taboo themes in this specific story (in my opinion) compared to her other ones. It was a very interesting and good, short read!

I stopped trying to predict Celia Crown’s books a bit ago. I know going in, it’s going to be a hell of a ride once I see the authors warning. The way this book was written, the reader isn’t sure where it started, really. The book begins with a bang, and the story unfolds with the catalyst at the beginning of our characters story, revealed.
Very well done! I’ll absolutely continue to look for and gobble up this authors work!

Okay, just in case this has not been emphasized enough, this book is very dark. I had a hard time reviewing this. I wasn't sure how to put this. But here's my opinion. Zeno is mentally ill, but is incredibly intelligent. He has mastered the skills of manipulation, brain washing and control. He does not know the true meaning of love. He is Petra's owner and his cruelty and depravity knows no bounds. I think Celia Crown did an excellent job writing this book and if this is your thing then 10 star rating.
March 18, 2021
This is a dark twisted tale. This is a dark and twisted tale it is not for everyone, it is more of an imperfect man obsessing over a woman. There are rough scenes that could upset people but it was entertaining. This has some interesting characters and the story flowed really well. This kept me reading well into the night. This is a wonderful story and hope to read other stories in this series. Great story, I loved it.

I haven’t read much of this author’s books but the few I have read they’re an entertaining and dark read. They caught you so good that you just can’t give up on them. Zeno has his obsession on his pet that he can’t just let go and to get his love he is not afraid to use any means to get it. This story was short but it just capture you with all this twisted and dark turns that you just can’t get enough of it.

Petra woke with amnesia and struggles with thoughts and feelings that terrorize her. When she sees her husband Zeno her body tells her to run. Can she figure out what happened to her and why she feels this way? Her mind and body are telling her different things.

Loved the book it was great, the story was written well and the characters were interesting. This story was really dark and intense. Zero is a monster that is twisted, depraved. This book took you in so many directions, he would hurt her, punishes her, obsessed over her, whether she was good or bad.

Petra wakes up in a foreign house. She has no memory. When she escapes, she runs into Zeno. Zeno is a manipulative man. This story is not for everyone.

Woman has amnesia, Man is something other (that's how I see him), but obsessed with woman. This book was ok but way to much for me. I like a little depravity but he was depraved, sinister, monstrous, evil etc. I don't like such a sinister read but, if you do check this out.

Ooh this one is one obsessive read! Really hold on tight, because Zeno will have you at the edge of your seat. The way he treats Petra one minute from the next has you biting your nails! An enthralling read!

I really enjoyed this book! It was fast paced and flowed nicely. The turn of events was done beautifully, and the ending was terrific! This is a fun and exciting paranormal romance! I liked it!! It has drama and steam, with very likable characters.

Oh my goodness, yeah. No. That's literally how I felt. The hero isn't the hero he is more like the villain.
