Daddy's Frightened Little

Rate this book
He’s a soldier who has put his past behind him, ready to live a quiet life. She’s hiding from danger and can’t afford to let anyone in…

TIMOTHY
The girl next door is perfect.
She’s beautiful and brilliant.
But she’s haunted and afraid.
She’s vulnerable even with her security cameras and the way she never leaves the house.
She needs someone to protect her.
She needs someone to set her free from the prison she’s made for herself.

BRITTNEY
Timothy is all a man should be.
I can’t stop thinking about him.
I can’t stop imaging his strong arms around me.

I can’t have him, though. I can’t have anyone.
I got away from the danger, and I can’t risk putting myself in that situation again.

Can Timothy find a way to protect Brittney when she won’t let him? Is there any way Brittney can learn to trust again when the last time almost destroyed her? You’ll love reading about how these two fight the odds to win their happily ever after in Daddy’s Frightened Little, the first book in the sexy and exciting Please Me, Daddy series.

This is book one in a collection of standalone novellas featuring Littles and the Daddys perfect for them. These books can be read in any order.

Quick Summary:
Brittney is running from the an abusive ex and in her attempt to stay off his radar, she’s isolated herself inside her home. Her only connection to the outside world is the snippets she catches on her security cameras, of her sexy next door neighbor, Timothy.

Timothy knows that his neighbor watches him every time he goes outside. He doesn’t mind because he knows that will give him the opening he needs to finally meet the skittish woman. Because he can see her fear and knows there is something that’s driven her into hiding. And his protective instincts are clamoring to the surface every time he’s around her.

🖤 My Thoughts 🖤
This was a quick read. Almost too quick, the story had potential but I needed a bit more between the MCs - who go from being complete strangers to jumping head first into a DD/lg relationship - with very little in between. It’s Timothy who introduces this unique dynamic to Brittney, who’s a newbie to the lifestyle.

“I want you to call me Daddy. It’s not something gross. I’m going to care for you and protect you and teach you not to be scared. You’ll be my little girl.” He kissed my forehead. “Can you do that now?”


When this trope is used, I think there needs to be a conversation between the two before anything really big happens and I felt there wasn’t enough of an intro in this story. Brittney took to it all without any hiccups but it felt really rushed.

There was also the issue with Brittney’s ex, who made one appearance and in the same breathe he’s quickly dealt with, wrapping everything up very nice and neat.

I wish it was that easy in real life! In all honesty, it wasn’t too bad but I did wonder why, if the Senator was such a great guy, he didn’t see how things were between Brittney and Leo. It’s mentioned he’s also a Daddy so I wondered how he didn’t see the signs of abuse happening right under his nose?

Domestic abuse is a serious issue, so I think it deserved a more serious solution.

🔥 Heat Level 🔥: 3/5
They were steamy but without the deeper connection/relationship between them, the scenes missed that something extra.

So. I really enjoy reading about the DD/lg dynamic and my favorite author, Laylah Roberts writes that dynamic so beautifully. I went into this book looking for that same feeling of warmth and love I get from her books, wanting something to tide me over while I wait for her next release.
Unfortunately, this just wasn’t it.

First off it’s a super short novella, so I understand things are a bit rushed here.
But I’m just not down for a MMC to just decide that he’s gonna put his wants and desires on the FMC, without any sort of conversation or anything.

Then, when I was hoping at least the sex might make up for the lacking dynamic, it was also rushed and blurred over.

I just can’t.
The writing is stilted and feels weird.
The sex was almost worst than fade to black because it was just a vague paragraph about his thrusts and her orgasm then moving on to the next morning.
The plot is all kinds of rushed.

Sorry, but it’s a definite, emphatic ‘No’ from me.

Um where do i start

Ok so 3 stars and thats me being very generous. Even tho this book is a quick read it sucked when it came to the sex scenes. It was not that great, it was barely a paragraph, and was so rushed. The next issue is all the typos and grammar errors. Its such a short book, it shouldn't have that many.

I had high hopes for this series and couldn't wait to read it... Now I'm not even gonna bother reading the rest of it. Now if you're just getting into erotic romance this book might be for you (if u can get past the typos). Its basically petting/dry humping. Idk and for it to suggest its about age play and ddlg is funny. Just cause they call each other that doesn't make it age play or ddlg. I just can't get over this book and not in a good way. The only reason for the 3 stars is because like i said a newbie to erotic romance might like it. That's a big might tho.

First time reading this author and I was so excited when it started out so good, kinda alpha stalker watching his scared neighbor (in a ‘she is mine but she just doesn’t know it yet’ sorta way). All of a sudden I felt like the buildup led to nothing...she goes to his house the first time and they hook up (no romance and zero steam IMO), then he sends her home. Wait what? This possessive alpha male was like ‘okay, see ya next time’. Story seemed to fast forward but it was vague how long it went on with them just hooking up and then one day there was a problem/resolution and then she says I want more and he says ok, the end? Just not enough to keep me interested in story or characters and other than she finds him hot, not really sure why they like each other...

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!!!
This is your thing if you are in the daddy /little girl and I loved this one Brittney is sweet, treats others with kindness maybe that is her downfall when it came to her ex the jerk Leo, she finally got away and living on her own but more afraid. So, she had security system installed but her life had come to a standstill do to fear and made sure one of the cameras is facing her beautiful neighbor. Timothy is this sexy as all get out, he knows she is watching him and he also knows she needs someone to take care of her, to love her, to protect her but he needed he needed to be a daddy. Will her ex come after her, will he protect her and can they find happiness?

So he does the work he needs to get done outside because he knows that she's watching him. Brittney is drawn to Timothy and doesn't fully understand why with everything that she's been through. One day Timothy decides to takes things into his own hands to meet her and takes a package that's hers directly to her. Its not long before he lays claim to her and things heat up between them. But when her ex finds her will Timothy be able to save her in time? Can they have their happy ending?

This is a great story that will hook you in the first chapter and leave you wanting more with the last one. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Brittney has the hots for Timothy an older man who lives next door. She sees him as a manly type of man as she watches him chop wood through her security cameras. Brittney lives as a shut in due to have been mistreated when younger. She has all of her food and goods delivered so she does not have to leave the house. It is lonely, but it is safe.

Timothy is a prior military officer who is quite aware that Brittney has moved in and installed an exclusive security system that is rather out of place in the neighborhood. He assumes that she is running or hiding from something bad. He is determined to make her his and to protect her forever before even getting to know her name.

This is a Daddy/Little romance with a little bit of violence and a lot of spying by Brittney on the sexy stud next door. There were a few places where a sentence or phrase made no sense at all with words missing or mushed together, but they did not cause any problems with the story.

Timothy is a retired military man who is fascinated by his neighbor. She just moved into the neighbor a month ago and it is easy to see that she is scared and hiding. She seldom steps out of the house, she has everything delivered and has a very serious security system put in. Timothy is planning on invading his neighbor's life and teaching her that his Little Girl has nothing to be afraid of.

Brittany is hiding from her ex and is terrified that he will hunt her down. She is hunkered down in her new house and refusing to go out where she will be seen. Her favorite entertainment is watching her next door neighbor on her security cameras. Just watching him fills her with desire. When Timothy invades her life and offers to teach her how to live without fear, she is overcome with relief and gratitude. She will learn that her Daddy will keep her safe.

Timothy lives next door to Brittney and knows that she has been spying on him.. He's fine with that because he knows that soon he will be meeting her and making her his little girl forever. Brittney is hiding out from Leo who terrorized her and hurt her. This is a great DDLG story and I love how Brittney blooms under her daddy's love and rules. When Leo comes calling Brittney is ready for his but so is Timothy. They the greatest surprise is his Uncle knows Timothy from the military and is ready to step up and help get rid of Leo. Beautiful story that's full of love, acceptance, strength and passion. Timothy is a great protective, caring and loving daddy. Can't wait for the next book.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the story of Timothy and Brittney. Brittney is hiding from her ex and moves in next door to Timothy and watches him. Brittney is attracted to Timothy, but she doesn't leave her house and is scared to meet him. When Timothy finally goes to her, he knows he has to get her to trust him. Timothy knows she was watching him and he knows she is scared of something, but he is going to be her Daddy and he will protect her. I liked this book, i like how protective Timothy was and how he wanted to prove to Brittney she could trust him and he didn't rush her into anything until she was ready to be his. Good one.

Timothy and Brittney are next door neighbors. Brittney is hiding from an abusive ex and Timothy is determined to make her his little girl. He wants to be her Daddy and protect and take care of her. She is terrified of leaving her house and trusting people after her horrible experience with Leo. I loved seeing how Brittney started coming back out of her shell and the journey they went on together. Seeing her finally stand up to her abuser and break free of the fear was great!

This is my first story by the author. I was pulled in by the blurb and enjoyed the story.

I loved how the alternating perspectives helped build the story as Brittany and Timothy both are taken with each other. Timothy takes the lead in helping break Brittany out of her fear. He shows exactly how to be a Daddy the right way.

Wonderful story with steam and danger. I look forward to reading the next story in the series.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is a short romance between Brittney and Timothy. They are neighbors who are interested in each other. They have to get thru her emotional and physical fortress for it to go anywhere. She has a past that has made her basically a recluse. He feels protective of her and wants to care for and love her. If anyone is in need of a good Daddy, it is Brittney. He breaks thru her walls and shows her what love can be like.

This is Brittany and Timothy's book. Timothy is an ex soldier who is looking for his little girl to care for and protect and wants his next door neighbour Brittany to be his little. Brittany is hiding from her abusive ex and is scared of everything, but she wants Timothy, so watch's him through her security cameras. This was a quick read, but would have liked more of the story as it did seem a bit rushed.

This book was so good and smoking hot. I was hooked from the beginning until the end. Brittany is from her abusive ex and her new neighbor has caught her but can she ever trust another man or feel safe again? Timothy knows his neighbor is scared and hiding from someone and vows to watch over her but will he keep her safe and make sure she can trust him ? Great story.

Hmmm New to the Daddy Dom world

But loving it all the same.
You ever get bored with whatever style of book you are reading and just try a new genre? Well this is how the daddy dims came to be.
A whole lot of naughty but a whole lot of trust. I’m trying to wrap my head around it as it straddles taboo and straight up romance. A great short read for sure. Diving in head 2st as this is a juggernaut of a series at 25 books and counting.
Great start to a new & different genre.

This is a short story with a daddy dom and a little. It was fun but on the shorter side. Afraid of her ex she hides in a house and has cameras installed. Hot for her neighbor she has cameras on him too. He knows his neighbor watches him and he wants her and he is done waiting. He knows she needs a hand to guide her and he wants to be that man.

Having your life on total lockdown from a threat is hard. Having your new neighbor blow your fantasies up while he has no clue and you can just enjoy? Not hard at all. Actually, he knows and it won't be long before he teaches that little girl who her daddy is and takes her fear away. Hot sexy short read.

Fast-paced, light, and sweet, this story was cute. I mean it wasn't cute that Brittany was hiding herself away and scared of being found by the wrong person, but it was cute the way she and Timothy found each other. The relationship-building was smooth, the story itself was believable and the characters were like normal people. It reads fast but the story makes you feel good!

This is one hot story of Brittany and Timothy! I loved how Timothy takes control and not only takes care of her needs but protects her completely, and the HEA. I have enjoyed every book I have read by this author.

Daddy's Frightened Little is book one in the series Please Me Daddies by author Jess Winters. This fast paced read is intense- frightened and hiding for someone in her past has her locked up from the world. He’s her next door neighbor and he’s beautiful to look at- not only that but he knows her secret. He’s honing to make her pay in the most delicious way.
Enjoy!!
