A fake marriage, billionaire romance with a spicy DDlg twist…
When Bunny Whitman humiliates herself in an interview in front of stern, intimidating, billionaire Takis Karas, she thinks she's blown it. But when Takis calls her a few days later, he makes her an offer she can't refuse .
1. Work for him. 2. Marry him. 3. Call him Daddy.
In return, she'll get a million dollars. The only catch? She's got to follow his rules to the letter. If she slips up, the consequences will be dire. And spanking is just the start. It's surprise after surprise for Bunny - but the biggest shock is just how much she loves to be cared for and coddled, and just how hot she finds the demanding discipline her new Daddy doles out, even when it leaves her shaking.
Tingle demanding Greek hero, indecent proposal, punishments galore, a nightmare ex who gets her comeuppance, funny safeword, hot gym bod, secrets and lies, a positive pregnancy test!
This is a HOT, standalone age play romance featuring consenting adults who are perfect for each other. It includes discipline, a protective, possessive hero, a ton of heart, and a HEA.
Lucky Moon writes steamy age play romances. Her books are full of heat, heart, and very satisfying happy ever afters.
When she's not creating chemistry on a page, she's hanging out with her cats, taking forest walks, and trying to make the perfect taco. But whatever she's doing, she's always dreaming up new ways to give her readers exactly what they want. And then some...
2.9 stars. This was okay. The pacing of the story was weird and things felt a bit disjointed and distant. I felt like I was having a real struggle imagining what was happening the entire time and it sort of hindered my enjoyment. But the dynamic and what little age play there was, was okay. Nothing offensively wrong about it.
I don’t know. It wasn’t a bad book, and I even thought parts of it were good. But the writing made it so hard to picture in my mind and usually I have a full on movie going on up there. It just sort of ruined the fun of it for me.
This was just meh and a bit disappointing to be honest. I don’t know what I was really expecting. Maybe a hot DDLG read? But this was full of what I really don’t like in a book. It was written in third person POV and had more conflict than romance.
The couple didn’t even have sex until the end of the book. They did have early on, but I skimmed because I hate reading about that. After that, we don’t get any more intimate scenes until the end of the book. I’m here for the smut, but it was drowned out by everything else. The conflict with her brother, Takis’ ex, and someone trying to break up their marriage was dragged on. Also, the ending to the conflict? It could have been better.
Would I try another book by this author? I don’t believe so.
Bunny almost messes up her job interview but Takis gives her a second chance and calls her back making a completely different offer. Will she accept? Fast-paced read with loads of drama, suspense and steam. Great characters, intense chemistry and a sizzling age play romance. I really liked it.
I went into this just looking for a spicy daddy shmink good time and was fully excepting this to be a thinly veiled attempt at an erotic romance, but with how little spice there was, I was left hanging. The plot wasn't great and the writing was awkward. If there was more spice it probably could've made up for the lack of substance, but it didn't. Disappointing.
Takis Karas has been working for 10 years for the CEO and had been promised that when the owner retired, Takis would become CEO. However the CEO just changed the conditions. Takis would only become CEO if he was married before the present CEO seventieth birthday in a couple of months and stayed married for at least three months. Takis is irate but he is determined to earn the position. He placed an ad for a temporary wife. Meanwhile the CEO was hiring for a manager of a new gym. His best candidate was Bunny and when Takis saw Bunny he knew exactly who he wanted to be married too. Bunny's interview went badly but a day later Takis searched for Bunny and gave her three offers. Offer one was just the manager job for the gym. Offer two was the job plus a million dollars if she agreed to marry him. Offer three was the job, the marriage and the chance to explore a DDlg relationship with him. Takis wants her to agree to all three but he doesn't want messy emotions messing things up.
Bunny is desperate. At her last job, she did a great job opening and running gyms for her old boss. Then scandal broke and everyone learned that he had been embezzling from the company. He also died suddenly. Bunny was fired because everyone assumed that she was involved since she worked closely with him. No one would listen to when she said she had no idea what was happening. Nobody would hire her because of her reputation. When she got an interview about becoming a manager for a new gym, she was excited. However the interview went badly with Takis being aggressively offensive so she ran out. She is shocked to find Takis hunting her down the next day and by the three offers. She would love the gym job and the Little girl stuff makes her both curious and scared. The scariest thing is that the marriage and the relationship is supposed to be non-emotional. She was ready to turn down the offers because she is afraind of ending up with a broken heart.

'Daddy Means Business by Lucky Moon is the first book in the new series Bad Boy Daddies and tells the story of Bunny Whitman and Takis Karas. Bunny recently lost her job when the owner of the company was found to have embezzled millions of dollars. She is having difficulty getting a job, although she was very good at her previous employment, because of her ex-boss even though she was not involved. She had an interview with Takis' company, Gilstein's Gym, but it didn't go well and she left upset. When she got back to her flat her brother started hassling her about pawning some items her parents had given her before they died. She didn't want to but was out of ideas. Of course her brother didn't offer to get a job or any money leaving it all up to her per usual.
Takis was in a quandary. Graham, his boss and mentor, just dropped a bomb on him. When Takis joined Graham's company and brought Gilstein's Gym back from the brink of bankruptcy he had been promised that he would become CEO when Graham retired. Now Graham has said that unless he gets married and stays married for at least three months he will not be the new CEO. Takis could not believe the ultimatum he had just been given. He had made them both billionaires and this was how he was getting rewarded. He did not want to get married, he did not want to be committed to one woman. He can't live with anybody. Graham knew this and knew why. And now he had to conduct an interview for a gym manager. And find a fake, temporary but believable wife.
Ms. Moon has written a fab book to kick off her new series. This book is full of drama, surprises, self-growth, there are twists and turns, deceit, suspense, action, passion, and steamy encounters. The chemistry between Bunny and Takis is hot and sizzling. I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one. Recommend to anyone who likes some kink with their HEA.

This is somewhere between a 2 and a 3. Disjointed writing. Continuity issues. Grammar issues. Even the book was formatted wrong. I downloaded it from KU over a year after it had been written, so the copy that Amazon has should be fine. SHOULD BE, being the key words. Chapter 10 and 11 are duplicate copies. We are missing the first week of these two being married. We go straight from a wedding to the couple going on a play date and Bunny wearing work clothes. Took me a minute to pick up the pieces.
The writing is all over. The "dramatic" ending is just thrown together. The sex is almost non existent. There is no buildup of the characters growing into themselves. Bunny has never heard of daddy doms, but suddenly it's what she's always wanted and wears onesies and bounces around. Takis is a self proclaimed workaholic a hole, but we never really see that either. He is suddenly insta love in love with his bride and everything is happy.
"Quotation Marks" are never used. 'Characters talk like this', and within the same paragraph, will switch who is talking. I'm pretty sure I learned this particular grammar rule in elementary school. Routine is written as Routing. No chapter 10. No sex until the very end. They may have told why this was, I'm not sure. It would haver been in the missing chapter. There is some smexy times, but nothing like this book should have.
The DDlg part wasn't written too bad. I've seen much worse in books. It was kind of refreshing to find a daddy dom who had never had a little before, so he didn't always know how to act. He only knew he wanted to take care of her. So that part was good.
I don't think I can read any more of this author's works, though. The negative greatly outweighed the positive. I even tried messaging her in her group on FB, but it wouldn't post my message. I just wanted to give her a heads up about the formatting error.
Maybe this was a situation of it wasn't the book, it was me. Or maybe I had different expectations of what I wanted from this book? Whatever it was, we didn't click, and I really wanted to :(
Bunny was about to be homeless, she and her brother shared an apartment, but she was the only one who had a job. That is, until she found out that her boss had been embezzling funds, and the business closed. By then, no one would go near Bunny to hire her!
She finally got a call back with a large company, but she blew the interview almost immediately and she ran out of the office
Takis Karas had been working for the company for over 10 years. When his boss told him that he was worried about long gevity and faithfulness, because Takis played the field with women (which obviously relates to business 🤨🙄). Takis is told he has 6 months to find a woman and marry her. He has to remain married for at least 3 months to prove it is legit, in order to be given the CEO position at work.
He finds Bunny and offers her 3 things: 1) A Job at the company as a manager? +kind of a building foreman? +supervisor? 2) He wants to marry her 3) He wants to be her daddy (DDLG)
She agrees to all three, and what happens next is a whirlwind.
For this book, I felt like we were just going through the motions of an arranged marriage deal. And then sprinkled in a little bit of mystery and mayhem.
But what was lacking was the daddy dom play. The dynamic just wasn't there. The relationship just never worked out. It never really got very spicy, in my opinion, and the relationship felt very flat. I couldn't get invested.
This was my first book by this author, and though I didn't like the dynamic in this book, I am interested in other titles enough to have another go at these books!
I listened to the audiobook, and the voice actor was also not my favorite. Not bad, but also not my favorite! It is possible that also influenced my opinion of this book.
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! Within the first chapters you get the panoramic view of whom you’re dealing with! Bunny's life is going downhill faster than she ever thought possible, she is sweet, does her job well but when her boss died and was accused of being connected to criminals, his gym business closed, and everyone lost their jobs. However, everyone couldn’t understand how she can work that closely with her boss and didn’t know what was going on. Well after that show she was actually called by for an interview with another company and lets say her interview didn’t go s well as she hopped in fact it went pretty bad(truth is she had a distraction) needless to say she didn’t get the job well sort of because he called her back for a different job. After Graham's news Takis needs to find a fake wife, but none of the women in his circle will do, he keeps thinking about Bunny. In the end he called her, when they met, he offered her the job she interviewed for, he informed her about the need for a fake wife and also tells her about his DD/lg needs. Takis lets her know how much he's willing to pay for her to marry him with or without the DD/lg side. Will she accept his offer and how long will it remain fake with chemistry insanely intense and will they figure out there is more to it than fake?
Bunny's life is going downhill faster than she ever thought possible. Her boss died and was accused of being connected to criminals, his gym business closed and everyone lost their jobs. People in the business couldn't imagine that as she worked closely with Rico that she didn't know what was going on. She eventually got an interview with the company Gilstein Gym and was taken aback when she was interviewed by Graham Gilstein the CEO and Takis Karas the Vice President. Graham had just given Takis some bad news and even though he had been struck by the effect that Bunny had on him he wasn't very nice to her until in the end she ran out and left. After Graham's news Takis needs to find a fake wife, but none of the women he spoke to will do, he keeps thinking about Bunny. In the end he called her, when they met he offered her the job she interviewed for, he informed her about the need for a fake wife and also tells her about his DD/lg needs. Takis lets her know how much he's willing to pay for her to marry him with or without the DD/lg side. She wasn't going to accept but in the end said yes .... How long can they keep this fake??

Bunny is looking for new employment since her last place of employment has closed since the owner has been arrested. Since she was employeed there, she is almost black-listed from working in any Gyms. Takis is working his butt off in order to take over as CEO of Gilsteins Gym after the owner Graham retires. Graham has his own idea on how to get Takis to settle down--he has to get married. He works so hard that he does not have a life outside work...just one night stands for him as he can not find the perfect woman with his type of kink. Bunny applies to start up the new gym but is so unsure of her ability, she almost blows the interview. Takis talk her again and eventually hires her with a stipulation about the marriage clause that Graham as implied. Everything is going great until somebody breaks into the new gym and destroys it and frames Bunny. She does get fired from her job but they know she did not do it. Eventually, they get the guy that started it and unfortunately also got Bunny's brother involved. Will not believe to is the instigator. Loved this story as it was more than just meeting each other, falling in love etc. Will wait for the next one to become available.
I read an early review copy of this book for an honest review.
Within the first couple of chapters I struggled to get through them and could barely stand how much of an idiot Bunny is. How she even had a good job is hard to understand. Her brother takes advantage of her. She goes to an interview and refuses to take a minute to go pee and struggles through the interview, lies to the bosses, makes an ass out of herself, and runs out like a raving lunatic. Only idiots use pawnshops, and she goes twice..... If you can't get the job you want, you get 2 jobs of anything until you can get a job you want another thing she doesn't do that makes her an idiot. Cringing through the first few chapters. Karas the Billionaire was captivated by her idiocy during the cringeworthy interview, so he extends an invitation to her to meet up with him. She meets him at a bar, and security is trying to throw her out for being in the bathroom for 20mins and being a crazed fan of his apparently. She's a crying psycho mess. Karas stopped them and said he specifically told them she would be coming to meet with him. I couldn't even after this point. Way too much cringe for me. Bunny is way too low on the IQ pole for my taste.
Bunny Whitman needs a job...now. she hasn't been able to get a job since being blacklisted. She finally gets a job interview and Mr. Karas ruins it for her. Then surprises her with an interesting proposal.
Takis Karas is on the road to being CEO. He doesn't care about anything or anyone else. He then realizes that he has to get a wife. Then he thinks about the beautiful woman that he humiliated during her interview and sets out for a business proposal.
I loved this story! This is the first book in the Bad Boy Daddies series. At first, Takis was a bonafide jerk. Once he realizes how he's acting and changes a smidge, he was absolutely wonderful.
My heart broke for Bunny. She went through so much that it's a wonder that she was so strong. Between her brother and Takis, I would have gone crazy!
The chemistry was so 🔥. Takis and Bunny were so open with the business aspect of their relationship and it was so much fun to see them lying to themselves the whole time. I can't wait for Isabella's story!
Bunny and Takis are instantly attracted to each other but having been burned in the past, neither is trusting enough of themselves to give this ago without the pretense of a fake relation and a business contract.
This story had so much heart and two MCs I was instantly intrigued with that I read it in one go. It was sweet, sexy and suspenseful.
It had some twists and turns I wasn’t expecting but also came with endearing surprises.
This is by far the BEST Lucky Moon book I’ve had the pleasure to read and I hope there will be more like this one in my future :)
Special mention to Baby Bunch! This place sounds magical and I hope we get to revisit and explore more of the place soon!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. This book starts off the series of Bad Boy Daddy books. Takis believes he is on the track to head the company at his mentors retirement. Things do not go quite as planned. Bunny is a mess on her good days recently. Employment, family, a roof over her head and food in her stomach have all been issues. Takis is a spoiled billionaire with entitlement and ego problems. Needless to say, when the story began I could not imagine liking him nor picture him as a Daddy Dom. The caring, supportive and protective side emerged after meeting Bunny. It drove him crazy at times that he would try to shove it down. When he made a decision though, he was honest with her about what he wanted and needed from her. I really liked their story with all of its learning curves. The characters were great

I’m a fan of Lucky Moons writing and have read a lot of their DDLg books and love the way they explore the Daddy Little relationship and being new to the lifestyle.
For some reason Chapter 10 and Chapter 11 were the same.
This is a lovely book about Bunny - a super soft, sweet, innocent, young woman who is in a bit of trouble after losing her job. She’s so used to caring for others that she doubts herself and her worth. Then you have Takis the grumpy bad boy billionaire who is instantly attracted to Bunny but what starts out as a business deal soon shows that not all is as it seems and he might not be as cold and uninterested as first seems.
A story of self discovery, self growth and love. Not overly explicit but lots of focus on exploring and learning about the DDlg dynamic which is nice to read and experience without being too extreme, especially if you are new to this trope.
I enjoyed reading Daddy Means Business(Bad Boy Daddies Book 1)!!! All about Bunny Whitman a young women in her mid-twenties & Takis Kara’s a Daddy Dom who enjoys Little Girls is a billionaire and works at Gilstein Associates. Bunny is out of a job, because her boss Rico was killed, but also stole billions from his athletic clubs, the ones she built from scratch for him. She was originally under suspicion it was eventually cleared of any wrong doing. But in the mean time she was unable to get another gym to hire her because of all the bad press. Eventually she was interviewed. Eventually when she was behind on her rent, by three months, she finally caught a break and got an interview with Takis Karas! Read about Takis & Bunny and see if the deal he offers, is something she can wrap her head around, and change her future? Lots of emotions and lots of toe curling situations!!! Definite Read!!!!
Daddy Means Business, Book 1 of the Bad Boy Daddies series, was about 24-year-old Bunny Whitman, and Takis Karas, age unspecified.
This was one wild ride. There was angst, drama, melodrama, betrayal, anger, heartache, and perhaps a smidge of humor. But it was entirely too long, the plot was stretched to its very limits, and the fluff was overpowering. The spice was minimal, almost to the point of being non-existent. I mean, seriously? This was a book about BDSM and DD/lg, but there really wasn't that much of it at all. Oh, it was talked about, but there was only one scene of backdoor sex, and then just talk. The very last chapter had the only spicy scene and it wasn't all that spicy. The whole book was a huge disappointment, and I don't believe I will be finishing the series. This set such a bad example for the rest of the series and I only gave it a two-star rating...and that was me being generous.
Honestly, if I had the energy to find another book to listen to — I would have dnf’d this
Overall: ⭐️⭐️.5 Spice: 🌶️.5 HEA: 💖 Type: Interconnected standalone series Audiobook: Solo narration LGBT Rep: 🚫 Why-Choose: 🚫 K!nks: DDlg, age play, spanking, bondage
Highlights: 🖤 marriage of convenience 🖤 possessive + protective billionaire 🖤 daddy dom/little girl dynamic
First, I just want to say my rating has nothing to do with the age play - I’ve read age play before, so that’s not it. My issue was with some of the writing and other dynamic aspects.
I always enjoy Moon’s Little stories as they are full of good humor, great characters, some danger and a sassy dialogue. This story is a fairly quick read that holds your attention from the beginning to the end. Bunny has always had a lot of responsibilities placed on her small shoulders and she has always preserved but this time she struggles. Takis needs her help in an odd request that will help make her life easier but there are strings attached that she has to take into consideration. There is a HEA but a lot happens first and not all of it is good. I loved the story and all it entailed up to the end where things finally come together for Takis and Bunny. This is a book definitely worth reading if you enjoy DD/lg stories. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and are voluntarily leaving a review.
I loved this book. Bunny and Takis were awesome together. I loved the connection and chemistry between these two. Takis and Bunny start out fake to help each other out but it doesn't stay that way long! Takis is exactly who Bunny needs in her life even if she is hesitant at first. Bunny is the one woman that Takis needed to realize that money does not make you happy and it doesn't give you love. I really enjoyed this book and I would highly recommend this book and Ms. Lucky as a must read author.

I enjoyed reading about Bunny and Takis and their story. This was a very different take on the DD/lg stories I have read in the past and I think for me this added to the enjoyment of the read. I loved their interaction and how each of them changed in their relationship. I also enjoyed the intriguing back story with Claudia and Abraham and the mystery of their connection to Takis and Bunny. Altogether a very enjoyable read.

Lucky Moon you have grown so much as an author, I loved this book. Takis Karas was such a bad boy. You really had to find the gentle man, the Daddy, and then the Dom. He as all that and more. Bunny was strong and resourceful, sweet, inside and outside. When these two get together and she starts to let her little out it's phenomenal. There is some drama, mystery, an evil snake in the grass and a love that will withstand the end of time. I can't wait for the second book in this series.

This book isn't just about a Little finding a Daddy. It's grittier and more realistic than most of this genre. The Daddy is a man with an attitude who seems to have lost the connection to his Daddy side through his lust for money. Bunny is just an ordinary woman trying to make her way through life. Their normalcy is what changes this from a standard "cute" DDLG story to a more realistic one.
I've always enjoyed this author but this book shines
I loved this story. Takis was so determined to only have a 3 month marriage, and then a quick divorce. Problem solved, and the he would be CEO. Then he saw Bunny. Suddenly, he thought of a new plan. He wanted a Little, but he also wanted a Sub. He saw both those roles being perfectly filled by her. Bunny saw Takis as a beautiful, sexy older man, but never dreamed what would happen next. So much angst, passion, and drama, all in one book. I will probably be reading this again, I loved it😘.
Takis is the playboy self made billionaire who didn't think he'd ever find his "Little" girl. Bunny is a woman cursed with a unfortunate name, bad luck and bad relations which made it easier for me to like her when I felt like she seemed a little helpless in the beginning of the book but she got better. The plot twists were nice and surprising. The spice was on page and hot but I didn't think it was erotica level (and the book was listed as erotica) I'm looking forward to Book 2
I received this arc from Booksprout and this is my honest review.
Bunny has practically raised her brother. Her loser brother. Now they're broke and she needs a job. Takis needs a wife. Match made in heaven. They agree to no emotions, no love. Just a boss and employee. Husband and wife. Daddy and baby girl. No emotions? Might be hard to not cross that line. Really good read.
