Ngl this was a drag 😬

Olivia frustrated the shit out of me with her annoying ass! I couldn’t get over how whiny & obnoxious her character was, BLOODY FREAKING CRINGE!!

‼️ SPOILER‼️
I didn’t like the whole sharing aspect either, the why choose scenes didn’t make sense considering how the MMC is portrayed. So James is supposed to be this dominant & possessive character yet doesn’t mind sharing with his brother?🤨 BOLLOCKS!! Come off it! Then Olivia is playing matchmaker with the said brother & her bff? VOMIT🤢

Mundane. You know those teachers that stand in the front of the class talk in the same monotone and no facial expressions? This is that in book form. It wasn’t the story or the characters possibly not even the writing. It was the delivery.

James & Olivia have been married quite a few years & together own a highly successful but stressful realty.
For the majority of their marriage they enthusiastically enjoyed a DD/bg lifestyle. Full of rules, funishments & punishments as well as sizzlingly heathy s*x, just the way James & Olivia wanted, needed & craved. But for the last few years both of them have drifted from their dynamic in their lifestyle & bed. Pressures & stress from work in addition to long hours have eroded their marriage into a pale shadow of what it was.
Olivia finds herself escalating 'bratty/unacceptable' behaviour not only at home but is now doing so at work. And James has had enough. He tells Olivia they need to 'talk' about their marriage, their relationship AND their future . . . .
I found myself pulled into James & Olivia's life. I was concerned for their future & marriage. Despite her 'bratting', Olivia was a very likable person as was James. I enjoyed how both of them truly loved each other & realized they BOTH needed to change to repair their damaged marriage & that they both WANTED to repair it.
Olivia was smart, assertive & needed to relinquish control once she left the office. And she had complete trust in James & his guidance, control & knowledge of her mind, body & limits. And James truly loves his 'baby girl' & wife, admires her strength & intelligence, her business savvy. And he is wonderfully calm, intuitive & focused on his wife, her needs & her limits.
Add to this wonderful loving romance 2 great secondary characters: Shannon, Olivia's best friend & Bryant, James' twin brother.
AND, someone starts murdering successful & prominent female realty agents & Olivia is the most successful & prominent of all in their area . . . .

Daddy’s Way

So if your into Daddy/little play then this book is for you. A little too much for me.. like did she really like being hurt so bad? Also letting the brother play along too, it was just too much. But I liked the plot and suspense of the story.

[Stats23 · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story has so many layers and subplots that it is almost too much of a good thing. Basically it is the story of Olivia and James Munroe, a married couple living the Daddy/Little dynamic at home and a normal Mr./Mrs. lifestyle at work. She is a Real Estate agent working for her Broker husband. Sometimes the lines get a bit blurred between office and bedroom, making for an interesting and entertaining read. That in itself could be enough to carry the story, but there are many other dynamics in play. There is her friend Shannon, a former little NOT looking for a Daddy, who adores her husband and leads her astray and into trouble frequently. There is James’ single brother Bryant, who shares his dominant style and sometimes plays with them (mostly on Olivia’s bottom). As if that is not enough there is also a killer on the loose who is preying on female real estate agents, seemingly zeroing in on Olivia. How’s that for a lot going on in a single story? How Ms. Moore weaves all these story lines together is a joy to behold. LOTS of discipline, lots of sex, lots of drama and an HEA to tie it all together. A fully satisfying story with the hint of possibly more…., could Bryant be the Daddy that Shannon is not looking for? I hope we can find out in a future book. 5 Stars

This book has a little bit of every BDSM "little" and suspense murder mystery trope all combined. There is the murder suspense drama, the BDSM sex, the will the "little" find happiness with her Daddy drama, the best girl best friends who giggle with each other and love each other forever trope, the "can I hook my best friend up with a good man" question, the "I want to fuck my husband's brother" fantasy, the "I am the best professional woman ever I receive professional awards and everyone admires me so much that I become the fascination of a serial killer" fantasy so guys will want to rescue me from danger fantasy, the my husband buys me an unneeded expensive present that looks like a goddess of the sea because I remind him of a goddess from the sea fantasy.... Did I forget any? Oh, plus lots of spanking that seems to not leave hideous black and purple welts. Plus, Daddy reading a good girl a bed time story and ice cream for breakfast fantasy. This book has a lot of bang for your kindle unlimited buck. I have to applaud the author for fitting all those tropes into about 300 pages and still managing to keep it all semi-believable and well written. I would not buy this book and read it again, but it is outstanding for a kindle unlimited subscription read.

James and Olivia have a daddy/little girl relationship in their marriage. But, their closeness was tested when James started to back off from being a Daddy Dom and Olivia missed it. When they talk, James realizes that Olivia misses their unique lifestyle and brings it back. Then, the murders start. Women realtors that were featured in a magazine are murdered and Olivia is in that group. She and her best friend Shannon, also a realtor, try to be careful, but lots of spankings come Olivia's way. I really enjoyed this book. James is dominant, but he listens to Olivia when she has concerns and discusses them with her. It doesn't get her out of spankings, but Olivia feels heard and loved. The mystery is solved by the end and there is a HEA. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series with James' twin, Bryant and Shannon.

This is book one in a series, it reads as a stand-alone with a HEA and all lose ends tied up nicely. This is another great story by Stella Moore with a little twist. If you like Daddy Doms who lay down rules, punishments, and steamy sex, you will love this book.
James and Olivia have been married for a few years with their daddy/little girl dynamic is a large part of their marriage. James backs away from his Daddy Dom tendencies leading Olivia to act in ways that causes cracks in their marriage.
Can they bring back their true selves into their marriage, will they be able to work out their problems? Olivia works with her husband James at their real estate business, she is a strong and intelligent realtor.
This not your normal everyday romance story, this one comes with mysterious murders. I can’t wait for the next book: Bryant (James’ twin) and Shannon.

I really love Stella Moore’s age play books; they have an authenticity to them that brings them from the realm of play and into lifestyle and I like that. Even though the kink is turned up a notch, this one was not an exception. It is very well written, has lovely, well fleshed out and likable characters (both primary and secondary), a well worked through plot with a bit of suspense that keeps the pages turning and some very hot scenes, both sexual and disciplinary, that keep the pulse up.
A captivating, hot and sweet read, which hopefully will be followed by Bryant and Shannon’s story.
I very much recommend it.

Olivia Monroe and her husband James run a real estate office. He's also her daddy, or used to be before the stress of running the company pulled them apart. Neither of them knows how to put it back together until it all comes to a head and they finally realize they should have been communicating the entire time. Her brother-in-law Bryant joins in the fun so you have some menage action also. It doesn't help that someone is killing real estate agents and it's centered around Liv. Spanking romance with hand belt paddle hair brush strap.

I'm fairly new the Stella Moore's books but this one will keep me as a fan. James and Olivia's story was wonderfully written. He's a Daddy Dom and she's his little but she doesn't feel like it much lately. She's been making rash decisions lately and testing him. Bad move! LOL But when murders start happening and she and her close friend become targets, James gets even more protective. His brother, Bryant, is also in the story and I fell for him also. The little twist in the story is one I never saw coming. Can James save Olivia from a person bound and determined to kill her? Love this story and it will be one I read over and over!

[Feed my Kindle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am slightly cautious when it comes to Daddy books. I'm okay with Daddies and spanking, but anything too far into the 'little' realm I just find a bit squicky. That's a purely personal preference, of course, so no judgment here.
This book, I'm happy to say, was fantastic. I loved the way it actually dealt with the tug of war mindset between being a career woman and being a (not too) little. The initial chapters really pulled at the heartstrings. The fact that it diverged into romantic suspense was the icing on the cake.
Seriously hoping that we will see more from some of the secondary characters soon.

Olivia and her husband James live a DD/LG lifestyle, But Olivia knew something was missing. When the stress of running their company took its toll. They both come to find that they are not communicating. They still have great chemistry but they need to find that extra spark that is missing and James know just what to do. Bryant joins in the fun so you have some menage thrown in also. Read and find out if they get their groove on again. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

What a great book - I LOVED every bit of the book - really didn't want it to end! Hoping for a sequel with Bryant and Shannon. I loved the daddy relationship, found the relationship between James and Olivia to be very hot and exciting. The writing was good - the character building was awesome - this book is great all the way around. I totally loved this book and is so well written I think others will love it too!

Just what I needed

This book was exactly what I was looking for and then some. Sweet, spicy, with some darkness, extra helpings of feels and a dash of unexpected heat that tipped it over the edge.

I really enjoyed these characters and could truly feel the emotions baked in to each of them. I unexpectedly cried happy and sad tears and I am *not* a crier. This book was exactly what I needed and I absolutely loved it!

[Shel Griffin · Rating 5 out of 5]

James was a great authority figure for his bratty wife. This was definitely rather spicy. Perhaps it should have had more of a backstory but that is okay. I liked that she was not ashamed of having a daddy figure. Being a married woman she should be able to have the best sex possible with her husband. It’s forever right, and vanilla can be dull. I would definitely recommend this book.

[Anna · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book starts at the end. The end of the relationship. (Kind of, until they save it.) I really enjoyed that we see that the relationship was in trouble but that they had to work it out (it gives hope and also lends realism to the story). I also love the level of intensity in the daddy scenes. James and Olivia’s connections are HOT. The danger adds that extra kick. Great story!

[Jo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Olivia and James, Daddy and little girl, boss and employee/agent, my absolute new favorite couple.

Olivia and James have lost their way a little. She's been pushing her limits and he hasn't been putting her in her place...but that's about to change.

There is a killer targeting successful real estate agents and Olivia is on that list. James will do whatever it takes to protect his wife/little girl. And boy did it put me on the edge of my seat!!!! Add in James' twin brother Bryant (HUBBA HUBBA HOTNESS) and Olivia's sassy bestie Shannon...this book is just pure feels and yumminess!

Not Too Shabby

Pretty gripping at times & sexy. However, some editing errors/inconsistencies. Most people don’t expect much from “trash novels,” but for me they take me out of the moment.

I enjoyed reading from an established Daddy/little perspective, which made for a nice change of pace.

[Stephanie Chase · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very interesting read!

I have to say I was very intrigued after seeing the title, but will say I am pleased with the entire story. I would like to see if it maybe rolls over to book 2 featuring Bryant & Shannon's story because you know there is a story there lol. But really like this one!

[Renee · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fabulous story. I enjoyed the interactions between Olivia and James, her daddy. The emotions and feelings are really well written. The twists were great and unexpected. If you like a great storyline, hot romance and intrigue this is the story for you.
