Cristiano: She’s half my age. She’s my old college friend’s daughter. She’s bratty and beautiful. Sassy and smart. Temptation personified. And totally off-limits.
One look and I knew. One dance and she was mine. She needs something from me. Something she doesn’t understand. Something I don’t even understand, but I want to give it to her. I want to give her everything.
I want her to be my babygirl.
Arabella: Cristiano is everything I’m not. He’s commanding, experienced, and always in control. He’s traveled the world while I’m still at home, taking a gap year after high school.
One look and I knew. One dance and I was his. It’s not just his body I want, it’s his care. His...discipline. Sometimes I feel like I might disappear if I don’t make a scene, but Cristiano sees me. He sees me and demands better of me.
He says I’m his babygirl. Does that make him my Daddy?

Claiming His Babygirl is Cameron Hart at her best! You’ve got a curvaceous, sass filled heroine and a sexy, bossy-alpha-licious older, who will melt.your.butter. I seriously needed a cold shower after getting a taste of Cristiano. Arabella is a bratty handful, but as we soon discover, she really isn’t as spoiled as she first appears. Misunderstood and lost, Cristiano see’s her and is mesmerized. Their attraction to one another is undeniable and resistance is futile. When they finally get it on, it is explosive. Watching the Portuguese Love Machine and his babygirl get their happily ever after is an uber sexy, read in one sitting romance. TBR Claiming His Babygirl and Enjoy.
Cristiano is a travel photographer back in the states to shoot his old college buddy’s wedding. Lately his photos have been lackluster until he meets Arabella, and he finds a new muse.
Arabella has been continuously ignored by her father and as a result has become defiant to get attention. When she meets his old college friend, she learns what it means to finally have a “daddy.”
Cristiano saw through Arabella’s defiant facade to the intelligent woman beneath and was the only one who supported her. The chemistry between the two of them is hot.
✔ Friend's daughter ✔ Insta-love ✔ Age-gap ✔ celibate male/Virgin female ✔ Daddy Kink ✔ Dual POV ✔ No cheating or OP drama ✔ HEA
“Don’t do that,” he reprimands softly. “Don’t deflect compliments. You are beautiful. Own it.”
Okay so, for some reason, I didn't like the way the daddy kink was written in this book. Because according to the book, Arabella's father didn't pay her enough attention which made her wanna have a new daddy whom she's gonna have sexual relationship as well. Entering Cristiano.🙄 Eh! I've read way better novella with daddy kink than this one. Because this plot managed to gross me out. Ugh! Besides it's way too cliché and cheesy. Can't say I enjoyed it much. I did like some of the aspect. Still just a meh read though.
°Virgin heroine °Hero celibate for years °Switching POVs °Insta love/lust °He's 39, she's 19 °Daddy kink °Possessive obsessed alpha hero °No real OW drama °No OM drama °No cheating °Brief separation °Intimate scenes only between hero and heroine °Epilogue: 10 years later
Arabella acts out for attention. Fate handed her an opportunity to get some attention in the most unexpected way. Cristiano felt his creativity sliping away. Fate gave him a vibrant Phoenix to rebirth his creativity. This story was HOT!! It’s a quick read that tou want to enjoy where you can blush freely! Daddy/lg, spanking and age-gap all in this story.
Never really read this kind of stories but I am hooked because Cameron Hart. I thought that this was an awesome book. Cristiano and Arabella were amazing together. I loved the connection and hot he helped through their relationship

This book was so amazing! Cameron’s characters are always so great, but Cristiano takes the cake. He was yummy, swoon-worthy, and so take charge. I loved how much he loved Arabella and saw her for who she was, as well as what she needed (and lemme tell you he was more than willing to provide). I cannot wait for more books like this trope and thank Cameron 1000x for writing these characters. I need it in paperback yesterday!
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this book. This is definitely not my favorite trope, but Arabella wasn’t nearly as “bratty” as I anticipated. Her reasons for her obstinacy were valid, and I sympathized with her difficulty in her relationships with her father and stepparents. I also admired her ability to stand up for herself—she knew that her dreams were not the same as her parents had for her, and she didn’t back down. And I loved that Christiano supported Arabella in all ways and believed in her. He desperately wanted to make her happy, which was incredibly romantic.
The chemistry between Arabella and Christiano was scorching. I really enjoyed Christiano’s alpha nature and his stubbornness about Arabella always being her true self with him. However, I didn’t like the rougher/discipline aspects of the story. It went just a little further than I’m okay with. And the ending was nice, but I expected a bit more in the conflict between Christiano and Arabella’s father. Christiano wasn’t quite as “alpha” in that moment as he was throughout the rest of the book.
Overall, this was a sweet, spicy romance, and I look forward to reading more of Cameron Hart’s stories.
*I received an ARC of this novella. This is my complete and honest review.*
If there ever was a woman that needed a Daddy to love and cherish her, it’s Arabella. She is so lost and hurt by years of neglect and verbal abuse from her mother, father, and stepmothers. Cristiano is a world famous photographer, he went to college with Arabella’s dad, Darren, who is getting married for the third time. He asked Cristiano to be his photographer, he was not going to agree until he decided he needed something new and fresh, he was feeling he had lost his touch. When he arrives and sees Arabella for the first time he is stunned at how beautiful she is and at how sad and lost she looks. Her father says some mean things about her that makes him mad, how can her father say such terrible things about his own daughter. It’s a little slow burn while he gets her to warn up to him, but once he does they both burn hotter that the sun. He is so good to her, he uses just the right mix of dominance and caring, to show her how worthy she is of love. Arabella has one green eye and one blue eye which has been a problem with her parents her whole life, they all make her feel defective because of it. Cristiano celebrates her eyes, he takes tons of pictures of her, tells her how beautiful she is to him. He tells her sometimes he’s not great with words but he talks through his pictures. And he says a lot with her pictures, he shows her how he sees her as perfection, a rare beauty. Their first time together is hot, he’s been celibate for years and she is a virgin. Drama when her father and stepmother bring the police and take her forcefully from him. Her father has him deported back to Portugal. She doesn’t know and worries he’s left her because of her father. But she finds an envelope from him with a plane ticket to Portugal and a love letter and dozens of pictures of her. She packs up and tells her father off and flies to Cristiano. Their reunion is sweet. Epilogue ten years later with two kids and them traveling the world like she wanted. He takes the beautiful pictures and she writes the wonderful travel articles.

Claiming His Babygirl was about 39-year-old Cristiano Santos, a photographer, and 19-year-old Arabella Masters. Christiano met Arabella when he returned to the States to attend his friend's third wedding. He had become disillusioned with his job as a photographer and was looking for direction. He didn't expect to find what he was looking for in her. Arabella was a troubled 19-year-old young woman whose mother had left when she was 11 after fat-shaming her daughter. Arabella had lost her temper, destroying much of her mother's things. For the rest of her life, her father blamed her for his wife leaving him, as well as for his second wife doing the same thing. When he was planning on marrying for the third time, the woman was a hateful creature who treated Arabella horribly. But then again, Arabella had continued to act out ever since her mother had abandoned her, and her father never stood up for her, treating her just as badly as his other wives did. She wanted his attention and, to her way of thinking, even bad attention was better than being invisible. When Christiano arrived at the home of his BFF and he saw the beautiful woman with mix-matched eyes, he was entranced. As he realized who she was, he tried to control his reactions to her, but then his BFF showed him how poorly he treated his own daughter, and how the man's fiancee treated her, and all he could think about was making things right for the young woman. This was a short, but sweet love story that was filled with angst, drama, and spice. The emotional rollercoaster had all the usual twists and turns one comes to expect from such stories, and it did not disappoint. While both characters were well-developed, the maturity of the MMC was as it should be, but for the FMC, it was not so apparent. She was more of a spoiled brat than a mature 19-year-old woman. But then again, she did mature as the story progressed. She did fit the dd/lg role perfectly, as did the MMC. It was enjoyable watching how Christiano brought her into submission, allowing him to be the "Daddy" she needed. And he did take care of her. It wasn't all about submitting in the bedroom. He took care of her in ways neither of her parents ever did. I gave the story a five-star rating even though I felt as if it had some unfinished issues. While I would have liked to see her father get more of a comeuppance than he did, I wanted to see how far it went in the epilogue. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, but it was still a very good love story.
This was a much more intense book then what you would actually think it would be. Yes, it's a gap book, twenty years, yes there is monkey sex him being dominant, don't let this girl fool you she may have been a virgin but she loved her role as a sub even suggesting new things. There is also a soon to be wicked step monster and disinterested father both of which say mean and cruel things to Arabella with no accountability.
However, Arabella felt invisible to her parents and then her mother left them making her dad openly resent her. To the point of ignoring and neglecting. Don’t get me wrong she is still the daughter of a millionaire and has the appearance to keep up so... You get the picture. Arabella learned early any kind of attention is attention and it just so happens that bad behavior works the best. Because yelling and restrictions caused her and her father to spend more time together even if he was yelling.
Now her father is getting married again to the wicked step monster and he has asked his old college buddy, a renowned published photographer, to take the wedding pictures. Surprisingly, even to Cristiano that he agreed. But, he seems to have hit as far as he was concerned, a plateau in his career and his pictures seem to show it. For him they were not having that crispness that he liked all his pics to have. They or he was missing something.
Walking into his college buddies home, Darren, he finds what he’s missing in the form of the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. So much so he wants to pull out his camera on the spot. He is only too afraid it may be, Darren’s fiancé. Only it’s worse it’s his daughter, Arabella, who has taken a gap year from college. Her jet black hair with her two different color eyes makers her stand out even more. But her full-figure is amazing. However she is nineteen to his thirty-nine.
When things become tense, as he watches how Arabella is treated by her step-monster, but most of all her father. He becomes roaring mad. It ignites something that had been dormant for ten years. His need for the comfort of a woman. But not any woman, Arabella. Also, being a dominant appeals
Cristiano is back in the States to photograph an old college friend's wedding. Upon arrival to his friend's home, he meets Arabella, his friend's nineteen year old daughter, and he's completely taken by her. Arabella is at a crossroads as she decides what she wants to do with her life. No one pays her any attention unless she's intentionally being a brat. That all changes when Arabella meets Cristiano, a man who wants to take care of her and make her his baby girl.
This story has everything I love such as age gap, daddy kink, 🐱 slaps, but this didn't work for me. It started off strong with the two of them meeting and the tension between them. It fell off the rails once they got together. The daddy kink was weird and didn't work in the story. Also, the story escalated so quickly and parts came off cheesy (for example, the stepmom in the hotel room yelling for security). I understand this has the instalust/love trope, which I do like if done well, but that wasn't the case with this story. I rarely say this, but I think this story needed to be longer. If it was longer and the middle of the story was worked through a bit more, this book would've received a solid four stars.
The addition starts with the book cover….yeah…yeah…yeah don’t judge a book by its cover they say ….well we all do it and this one here it is the scratch to your itch or better yet the filling to your oreos! Speaking of filling…..wait, that’s for later. Within the first chapters you get the panoramic view of whom you’re dealing with! Can’t say I didn’t warn you. (Believe me when I say you won’t put it down until the last page is read…you will find yourself getting upset cause someone called, texted or bothered you while reading this one, you will find yourself up at ungodly hours just to finish it knowing you have to be at work early (like 3am early) the very next day) YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! Arabella is a brat due to not really having a father figure ..well she has a father but he doesn’t much attention for her neither does her stepmom they are so wrapped up in themselves but his has been that way for as long as she can remember. So, when he calls in his old college friend Cristiano older sexy as all get out men and an amazing photographer and the moment the two of them meet, he knows she is his bratty little girl and she for the first times understand what the name daddy means. He could see right through her brave girl act to the intelligent women she is and with his guidance she will become the women he sees. She woke him up as well making him a much better man, photographer, and man but can the two of them be happy despite their age difference?
4.5 stars. Classic Cameron Hart intense, instalove romance, with a light ‘Daddy’ Dom twist to make it a little more interesting. The romance was sweet and so tender. The characters likable and intriguing. Cristiano is the full ‘tall, dark, and handsome’ package, with his Portuguese ancestry and light exotic accent. He commands Arabella with a firm but caring hand. And Arabella. She’s learned from an early age that her parents and the other adults in her life only care to notice her if she’s acting out, so she’s got a temper, and a bratty attitude to hide her loneliness and deep longing for affection and attention. She’s curvy and Cristiano absolutely loves that there’s more of her to hold and love. The sex is passionate, insatiable, and loving, with a hint of kink. The pleasure being amped up, seasoned if you will, with a sprinkle of pain. Such an enjoyable, smutty read. Really happy to see that Cameron can write a ‘Daddy’ Dom book and still bring her special brand of romance to it. Hopefully, she’ll write a couple more. In any case, I can’t wait to see what Cameron puts out next.
Cristiano is in town to do a favor for a frind of his. His friend is getting married again and wants him to take the pictures for it. When he arrives at his friend's place the beauty sitting on the couch catches his eyes and he can't believe it when he learns its his friend's daughter. Arabella acts out to get her father's attention because she hates being ignored. Cristiano sees her pushing the limits within the family and steps in to calm her. Arabella is stunned by her reaction to Cristiano but she can't stop how she feels about him. After her father is married things heat up between her and Cristiano. Cristiano wants to make her dreams come true and starts making plans for their future. However neither counts on being caught by her father and her nosey step-mother. Will they be able to find a way to be together? Can Cristiano show her that he really loves her?
This is an amazing story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

I didn’t know what to expect from this book but I was very hopeful. And I was not disappointed. Hot silver fox Cristiano was absolutely everything. OMG, that man could melt iron with his words.
I loved that Arabella had different colored eyes and she wasn’t railed thin but a curvy women. It made her more relatable but also super sexy. My girl was stacked!!
Now, the story was super spicy from jump. The moment they met each other it was on: flirting, sexual fantasies, etc. It was clearly love at first sight but it felt so genuine. It was almost soul deep, especially Cristiano who could see her vulnerability and strength from the moment he saw her.
I expected to feel upset that she was only 19 and he was 39 but I wasn’t as bother because he wasn’t interested in changing (grooming) her. He wanted to truly know her and see who she would become.
It was relatively low angst although I was so worried that they would get caught at her parent’s house or the wedding doing smexy stuff. Oddly enough they don’t so y’all can rest easy and just enjoy the story lol.
Christiano and Arabella were good together. Loved how he really saw her and was there for her when no one else ever had been. Her Dad & step mother deserved very bad things. The only thing I had any issues with was I felt she had the right to be upset that he was allowing some socialite skank to flirt with him and paw him. He got upset with her for leaving and not speaking to him. I kept waiting for him to explain or say who that person was or say he let her know he wasn't interested. That didn't happen. It was passed by. I've noticed that it's a common theme in the daddy stories for their to be some hypocrisy. He's boss and has different rules. That's the dynamic, which is fine, but when it comes to stuff like that, I think the rules should be even. He would be ticked if some guy was flirting and pawing at her. This didn't really take away from the story, just something I noticed. The story between them is amazing and has a wonderful HEA. They both get the love they were needing❤
Cristiano meets his friend's daughter and is instantly attracted to her. Arabella initially comes off as a bratty girl, but soon, he realizes she is just misunderstood and needs someone to be there for her. He sees a broken girl and wants to comfort her. He knows he can give her what she needs; she needs a Daddy, and he is ready to take on that role.
𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂 𝒓𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒚.
Oh my, Cristiano is the whole package. He has a dirty mouth, and how he knows how to comfort her and help her become the confident woman she was meant to be is everything. SWOON
I thought that this was an awesome book. Cristiano and Arabella were amazing together. I loved their connection and their chemistry. All Arabella wants to be noticed and loved but everyone ignores her unless she is getting into trouble. Cristiano felt something was off in his life for a while now and when h sees Arabella for the very first time, he knew what, or rather who, was missing. I loved that Arabella is sassy even though she is just trying to get attention. I loved how open, patient, honest Cristiano is with Arabella. These two were amazing together and I am glad that they got there HEA after the drama with Arabella's father, Cristiano old friend. I loved this book and I would highly recommend it and Ms. Cameron as a must read author.

Arabella is rebellious .. her father and his future wife are at their witts end with her antics and destructive outburst. They would like her to fit into their mold of what she should be and how she should act, and she´s just tired of it all. Cristiano is her father´s college friend, one who has been traveling the world. From the moment he sets eyes on Arabella, he feels a pull towards her that he can´t deny. He truly sees her... sees her need to be seen and acknowledged. Their story is not only insanely hot and passionate... but it´s also caring and filled with love and understanding! He wants her to flourish and to bloom... he wants to love her and let her be herself. The story is incredibly well developed, with great characters and plenty of heat!!!

I really liked what this story had to say. It was entertaining and enjoyable but frustrating at times. Darren and Miriam were super lame. It probably makes me a bad person that I wanted them to be miserable and stuck with each other since they definitely deserved each other. Cristiano was amazing. He totally saw Arabella for who she was and understood her frustration. Arabella made me sad. Her whole life she never had the support she needed or was treated as anything but an inconvenience. When Arabella and Cristiano saw each other for the first time, they could both feel a connection. The way that Cristiano “told” Arabella that he loved her almost made me cry. I loved their happily ever after. I recommend reading this book.
This story follows Cristiano and Arabella. Cristiano is a travel photographer who went to college with Arabella's dad and was requested to photograph his 3rd wedding. Arabella does not have a good relationship with her dad or her stepmom. They definitely do not treat her right. Cristiano and Arabella both have an instant pull and attraction towards each other. Cristiano was exactly what Arabella needed after a lifetime of being unloved and Arabella reignited light into Cristiano's life. This book was so so so good! I will 100% be reading this one again and again!

Another Cameron Hart Curvy Girl favorite! Arabella and Cristiano heat up the pages in this Daddy/Babygirl story. I’m normally not into the whole Daddy trope but the fact that these two found themselves in these roles really worked. There were no preconceived ideas... everything was so organic.
Arabella is a spoiled but forgotten recent college grad taking a gap year. Her dad and his new fiancé would love nothing more than to have her out of their lives. Little do they know they’ll get their wish when they hire an old friend to photograph their impending nuptials. Cristiano has lost his direction... he’s wandered around the world taking amazing pictures and seeing the sights but something is missing. He finds his missing piece in Arabella.
I loved this story because it was the perfect instalove that Cameron is known for. If you need a quick, steamy read... here it is!
This was a wonderful read, great characters and a good story plot This is a wonderful read I loved the characters and the storyline was simply riveting and the plot was so very well written and there was no way you will be able to put this book down. Cristiano is still a man even though he is also a father he still enjoys the attentions of female company but he is also attracted to one of his daughter’s college friends. Arabella is the same age as his daughter and yet he knows that he has feelings for this young woman that is only half his age and he has known from the very first time he held her in his arms and danced with her that she was his and ne was going to keep her, love her and protect her no matter what. I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.
