Daddy Issues

Silver Fox Daddy #2

by Olivia Fox

A quirky artist, jerked out of her ho-hum existence. The powerful ex-CIA agent who needs to daddy her with love. An arrangement between them that takes both their breath away.

When Ivy Anderson was eight, she learned to seek comfort by making scars on her own skin. Doing so helped her escape the horrible voices in her head which echoed the non-stop fault-finding of her mom.

But now that she’s grown up, she has a job she loves in a club that caters to the unusual tastes of its adorably nonconformist clients. She runs the arts and crafts program for a room full of littles. Everything is almost perfect — that is, until Mr. Hotness Himself, Rupert Taylor, shows up. He offers Ivy more money than she’s ever dreamed of making if she’ll move to a small town she’s never heard of.

And she has to leave tomorrow.

Wait, is he for real!?!?

He’s a hard man, that’s a fact. A man with many secrets. But can Ivy be sure he won’t hurt her if she goes along for the ride on his private plane? Will she chase after an adventure and a fantasy she never imagined could come true?

Can she learn to accept that whatever daddy wants, daddy gets?

3.5 stars. I enjoy Olivia Fox's smutt because even if they are short there are actual characters development as well as a relationship that grows stronger as it goes along. But ofc very smutty

Ivy had a troubled childhood up-bringing with a mother who was not maternal. She keeps people at arm's length thinking she does not deserve happiness or love. But she meets Rupert Taylor, nicely dress and the new owner of her old job. But, they immediately have a physical attraction towards one another. Can Rupert show Ivy he is here to protect her and not just be her new boss but as a lover too? Oh man, i love the dirty talk of Rupert to Ivy. And how she slowly shows her sass towards him. So hot.. and panty melting. A total smut, yes!!

I like this book because it shows that someone with mental illness can still find the love that the person needs. I'm not at all disappointed with the book.

[Tammy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the second book in the series but it can be read as a standalone. Ivy has not had an easy life and learned at a young age to seek comfort by making scars on her own skin. She meets Rupert and he makes he an offer to start over somewhere else. Will she choose to go and perhaps start a relationship with Rupert? Fast-paced read with loads of drama, suspense and twists and turns. Lots of emotion and characters with lots of depth. I liked it.

A simply stunning read, great characters and plot thoroughly enjoyed the read
This was a simply wonderful read and I cannot explain to you how totally enthralled you will become by the book once you begin to read, the characters have been written with such wonderful compassion and the actual storyline once started was simply amazing.
Ivy and her only true friend have been together for a decade at least and Ivy knows full well that she probably would not have survived without the support and help and love and genuine caring of Gigi. She knows her story and her reason for self-harm and also for the demons this has left her with and yet she is still a generous and warm-hearted individual, she loves working with her group of Littles and they in turn have come to care a great deal for her too.
When Juicy’s is taken over by a new owner he approaches both Gigi and Ivy and asks them if they would consider coming to work on a ranch that was specially for Littles and he wanted the women to work they’re in different capacities and to live there as well.
Ivy was nervous about the job and thought it a little too good to be true however, as she got to know Rupert, she realised that he was honest and true to his word and as well as her own home and job looking after a group of Littles, teaching arts and crafts she was also taken under his wing and he began to help her.
It is a truly sweet story and I do not want to give away too much and spoil the story for others but I will say that Rupert and Ivy’s story is simply wonderful and as well as becoming totally enamoured by their growing Daddy and Little dynamic, I simply loved how their trust, love and growing happiness and Ivy’s healing through the strength of Rupert and her dearest friend Gigi.
I assure you that once you begin reading this story you will not be able to put the book down until you reach the final page.
I assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read.
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.

Ivy grew up with an abusive and negletful mother. To deal with the pain, Ivy started cutting herself. The pain she controled helped her deal with the pain from her mother. Now she is grown and has a hard time trusting anyone. She works at a private kink clubdealing a lot with the Littles. Her boss is a jerk and a member is pressuring her to sleep with him. Then he has her cornered at the club and a big sexy man comes to her rescue. She finds out Rupert is her new boss since he just bought the club. He offers Ivy and her best friend great new jobs in California with a place to stay provided and a signing bonus. Ivy is drawn to Rupert. He is strong and protective of her. He also seems to respect her scars and isn't ashamed to be seen with her with her scars showing. Ivy is falling for him but he seems to be keeping secrets.

Rupert used to be in the military and a spy. He had to be cold hearted to deal with the death and danger. Whey he meets Ivy his walls start to tumble. Knowing that she dealt with so much pain, makes him admire her. He would do anything to make her life better and make her dreams come true. He wants to be her Daddy. Then his past comes out to attack him, he feels like he has to drive Ivy away to keep her safe.

This book was a little different than what I expected it to be (considering that I have read, and loved, several other books by Olivia Fox). I did think it would have a lot more drama, suspence and angst than it actually did, but I have to say that at the end of the book I felt very satisfied with the entire story. Yes, the story is extra hot and steamy in all the wonderful ways... but it also dealt with an issue that is sensitve and powerful all on it´s own. As the warning states... if you´re sensitive to this subject matter, then you might want to move on to another book. I have to say that I do consider myself slightly sensitive when these subjects are presented crudely ... but Olivia Fox presented them in a such a manner that I never squirmed away or felt the need to close the book to take a "breather". I truly loved the chemistry and relationship between Ivy and Rupert - and I loved that he offered her his unconditional love and understanding... their chemistry is intense, of course... but their relatioship is simply beautiful!

Let me tell you starting out buckle up this is one wild ride there are going to be twists & turns but be warned there is a little cutting going on so if that bothers you don’t read this one however, on the brighter side she does get help. Rupert sexy as all get out daddy, doesn’t take any stuff from a bratty little girl, and will do everything in his power to empower his little girl, ensure she knows she is broken but beautiful. Ivy has had to deal with a lot, to feels she cuts herself and dealing with said issues well it going to take a little more help. The attraction they feel is insanely intense and Rupert knows she needs a daddy to love her, make sure she feels safe, and to help her deal with all her issues in a safe, healthy way and dealing with her bratty side is just a plus for him their banter, punishments are so entertaining but will he help her overcome her past or at least deal with it in a healthy way, and can they find happiness on this path?

I’ve enjoyed some of the author’s previous age play stories. I know this story is personal to the author, so please check out the trigger warnings if you are sensitive. This one is an age gap/age play story, where Rupert has become obsessed with Ivy, who works with Littles in a club. Ivy’s best friend is Gigi, who loves to roller skate. Rupert’s dangerous past has consequences for both Rupert & Ivy. This was not my favourite story-plot wise, it felt quite mild, like it could have had more suspense & action and character wise, we are told why Ivy behaves the way she does but intensity bog the driver for that didn’t come across for me. Rupert is aware of Ivy’s self-harm scars—he was accepting, but didn’t really have the depth of understanding about her triggers. So this was an okay read for me but I was far more interested in what is going on with Rupert’s right hand man Noah, and the vibrant Gigi, which I will definitely check out.

I liked this story a lot although you definitely need to pay attention to the trigger warning. It was entertaining and enjoyable with a couple of exceptions. The characters were interesting and likable for the most part. Gigi was a wonderful friend. She was supportive but also willing to tell Ivy the truth whether she wants to hear it or not. Rupert found Ivy and decided that she needed him to take care of her. Ivy and Gigi were working with littles and Rupert offered them a job to get them away from where they were working. The new job is also working with littles which made both of them happy. Rupert and Ivy were sweet together. There was some drama and angst as well as situations that pushed some boundaries. I liked how the story ended but I would have liked an epilogue further out. I recommend reading this book.

Ivy was raised by a narcissistic, abusive mother and to ease her pain, she started cutting herself. She also doesn't trust easily, except her best friend, Gigi. They both work in a kink club catering to Littles and when unwelcome attention from a patron corners Ivy, Rupert comes to the rescue. Rupert has been watching and falling more and more for Ivy. He knows she needs a daddy to make sure she feels safe, secure, and loved and he wants to be that Daddy. He offers both Ivy and Gigi a job at his new club that is safer and more protected. But Rupert has a Drak past that comes back to bite them both. This book is fast paced, steamy, full of action, and more. With this book and book 1 of the Silver Fox Daddy series both available on Kindle Unlimited to read for free, get ready for a mini-binge.

[Rosemary · Rating 5 out of 5]

There is so much going on in this book as background stories as we experience the growing Daddy relationship between Rupert and Ivy. Ivy is a girl who was abused during her childhood by her Mother, the one person who should have provided her with love and protection. As a result, Ivy began cutting herself to take control over the areas in her life where she no longer felt in control. Once Rupert sees Ivy, he knows she much become her baby so that he can provide her with the love and protection that she was not given in childhood. What seemed to be a match made in heaven is quickly challenged by outside forces as well as Ivy's lack of confidence in her worth. Can they overcome all the obstacles that seem to want to keep them from being happy? Great writing by one of my favorite authors.

[Sara Marquez · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved this story better? First, thank you to the author for listing the “trigger warnings” and included the links, applause.

How did Rupert find Ivy, that was not clear? I may have missed it?

So Ivy is a nanny/fairy in a club and Gigi is her friend who loves roller skates. They live in a run down apartment building in a bad neighborhood. Ivy had a rough childhood and caused self harm.

Rupert buys the club where they work and offers Ivy and Gigi a better job opportunity. Ivy is unsure about the offer. But, Brad breaking in their apartment and about to force his proposal changes everything.

Rupert and Ivy have an attraction of sorts but keep a bit of distance? They finally follow through on their attraction. Rupert is former agent of sorts, has to deal with a possible hit on him and a target on Ivy?

Things work out but not before some chaos and separation plays out.

[Karon Price · Rating 3 out of 5]

2 1/2 stars

I felt as if I walked into the middle of this story. The author never really gave us a good background on Ivy (or her friend either). There was this guy giving her problems, but we didn't really know much about that situation either. Or really understand where she worked. And then she had a new boss, who was rescuing her, but we didn't really get that story either (did he know about her already, fall in lust at first sight, what the heck). No real background on the hero either. And it wasn't just the setup we missed part of the story on. We also missed any explanation by the hero to the heroine when there was a big plot changing situation. I felt as if I only got half a story.

An eye opening insta attraction and more.

With a past like Rupert's, it was never going to stay where it belongs. The danger is real as Rupert takes exceptional care in attempting to mitigate any and all threats to Ivy.

Ivy needs her Daddy, to help, to heal, and to provide a stabilizing influence including all the love and attention he can provide. Hope is ever present as Ivy strives to become in control of her life and destiny, whilst settling into a new job, home and romance.

A different perspective on the causes, effects and results of self harm are presented to the reader, intellectually fascinating even as echoes of pain reverberate. Tastefully woven into the storyline, adding depth yet still touching on a societal trauma.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Ivy grew up with an abusive mother and started cutting herself to help her deal with it.. She works at a Little's Club where her boss is forcing himself on her. He corners her and Rupert comes to her rescue and offers Ivy and her best friend Gigi a job at his ranch in California, teaching arts and crafts to Littles. He's very protective of her and proves to her that her scars don't embarrass him. She is falling for him and trust him until his past comes calling and he pushes her away to protect her. I really loved this book and can't wait for the next book in this fantastic series. Once you start reading, you won't be able to put it down. Patsy Sacco

[Rosie Bray · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another excellent addition to the Silver Fox Daddy series. Ivy and Rupert's story is intense and sinfully sexy but also deals sensitively with the issue of self harm. Rupert rescues Ivy and her best friend Gigi when he becomes the new owner of the club Ivy works in, Ivy is getting unwanted attention from one of the patrons, someone who just won't take no for an answer. Rupert finds himself drawn to Ivy, wanting to be her Daddy, but his past may put them both in harm's way. At their new club, both Ivy and Gigi blossom and Ivy, who starts off shy and retiring, shows a sassy side, which her Daddy has to deal with. Plenty of kink, as you'd expect from Olivia Fox but as always, so much more

I can't put my finger on why, but I did not connect with the characters in this book (especially Rupert) as I usually do in other books by Olivia Fox. That is not to say that this isn't a good book that delicately deals with the very important psychological issue of self harm. There were definitely some scorching scenes between the two main characters. Had I connected with Rupert's character more, this would have been a four star review.

One reason to read this is book is that the next one in the series is about Gigi and Noah whom you get to know in this book. Just the quick peek at the first chapter had me hooked! Oh Ms. Fox, why must you make us wait six months for Daddy Says?

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. Ivy has grown up dealing with issues that lead to self harm. She is now a young woman works with Littles at a club. Rupert noticed Ivy and wants to protect and care for her. If anyone needs the care and love of a Daddy, it is her. There are dangers and obstacles to get thru. If the past does not end them, then they have a chance at a future together. This book was harder for me to get into than the first in the series. It was a good storyline, just maybe this one was not for me. 3.5

incredible

I’m not one to mix words when it comes to Olivia Fox writing or any author that has me reading a book in a day or two. I have to say that the story is really good, characters terrific and yes sex amazing. To find love at a point in time in your life when you think it can’t happen comes Rubert, strong, manly, daddy, ex military, with the sense to know a good thing. Now the Tin Man as he is called is just as scared as Ivy but has never been able to let good.
You’ll love this story I did!

This story contains some very difficult subjects but Olivia does it in a very sensitive way. Ivy is an artist who self harmed due to being incessantly told by her Mom that she was worthless. Now working in a BDSM club teaching art to littles then she meets older man Rupert Taylor who offers her a job in his exclusive club if she leaves immediately. Can Ivy risk everything she has gained, and perhaps being hurt, and accept this unbelievable offer from a man who wants to take care of her? You will find yourself drawn into Ivy and Rupert’s world as you read this age-gap story.

Oh my I could not put it down! Olivia Fox never disappoints! I love the characters the bratty side of Ivy, the loving controlled side of Rupert, the start of something with her friend and Noah, and the fact Ivy was not whole but had to work on it herself, not just depend on "Daddy" to help. Olivia Fox tells a story of two people which includes laughter, sadness, love and every emotion in between! Cannot wait until the next book!

While I really enjoyed the story overall, it took me awhile to get into it, because it seemed to be to drag too much in the beginning, to get Ivy and Rupert together. Then add in Ivy's triggers and then just when things seem to be working out, Rupee the past rears it's head and looks like it's going to ruin everything.. Still, loved the story and felt so much for Ivy. I also loved the characters and can't wait to see what comes next.

Trigger Warning: there is talk about cutting is this story. Rupert and Ivy are perfect for each other. Rupert wants to help out Ivy in all ways, especially after learning about her past. Ivy has serious trust issues for very legitimate issues. This story is not all rainbows, but is so very good and heart (and other organs) warming.

This is an honest review of an ARC.

Ivy has issues from an awful childhood. Her way of coping is my cutting. Rupert met Ivy and knew she was meant to be his. After convincing her and her friend to move to his ranch and work for his club, he starts to make his move on Ivy but both their pasts keep getting in the way, making it difficult to move forward.

Ivy has had a tough life and it has left scars. She has found herself a job she enjoys at a club where she runs an arts and craft program for a group of Littles. But she isn't safe there, and then Rupert Taylor arrives and offers her a lot of money to move to his club. But is it safe to move away with a complete stranger at a day's notice?

Rupert decides to help 2 Littles by hiring them at his lifestyle club. He can't stop himself because one look at Ivy and he is unable to stay away from her. Ivy is scared to trust any man especially since she has such a painful past. She can't let him see how she copes with pain, although letting him in and having him as a Daddy would be a dream...until he hurts her too. Such a good story and so hot.

Wow this book puts you through the ringer of emotions! Be prepared to laugh, to cry and even at moments want to throw your kindle across the room. I loved Ivy and Rupert together. She kept her spark while learning it’s okay to let someone take care of you. And Rupert is so obsessed it’s not even funny. Great book!

Captivating storyline that's highly steamy and sexy.

It's part romance, part sweet innoncence and part high running emotions - everything mixes together very well.

I love how strong and sassy Rupert and Ivy's characters are; can't wait to read about Noah !!!
