Bachman Daddies #1
Daddy
A Mafia Billionaire Romance.
Three years ago I called him daddy. Then he left me wet and wanting.
I was naughty so he bared my bottom and spanked me like a little girl.
Now I've been naughty again, and this time the punishment will be different.
This time daddy is going to make me his... whether I like it or not.
I remember the night she called me daddy like it was yesterday.
She was barely eighteen and in need of a firm hand, so I took her over my knee and left it at that.
But now she's gotten herself in real trouble. The kind I deal with personally.
She's been given to me, and soon she'll call me daddy again... before I make her my wife.

I feel like i have won the lottery with this story.It combines my love for the sexy
Bachman men and a good Daddy Dom story.I was so consumed by this book
that i could not put it down.Nothing or no one was going to come between me
and the sexy men who were members of the secretive Bachman Family.A mafia
family like no other.Dangerous men who lived who lived by a code of honor.The
initiation to be accepted was grueling .The only way out was death.
Charlotte Greene was unable to forget the brief but memorable moments spent
with Eli three ago.She had a crush on Eli but he made his feelings very clear,he
only cared for her like a sister.Eli fulfilled his deepest desire to become a real member of the Bachman family.Now he needed to find the right woman to share and accept his unique lifestyle.Never did he expect to find himself married to Charlotte Greene.Her penchant for getting into trouble still plagued her.After a misguided adventure saw her in deep trouble,her life hung in the
balance.She was given no choice but to marry Eli.
Their marriage was unconventional to say the least.The wedding was eventful for all the wrong reasons.But,they complemented each other's secret desires He had longed for a baby girl of his own to spoil and spank.Charlotte's
impulsiveness gave Eli many opportunities to punish her over his knees while she cried for her Daddy to stop.She was so filled with doubt at times and did not recognize the love in his eyes.
"At home and in the village,you will call me Daddy,or sir.Do you understand?"
"YES SIR"
"It's appropriate for a naughty little girl such as yourself to call her husband
Daddy,not buy his first name.How could you be so naughty."
You could not deny the intense chemistry that developed overtime between Charlotte and Eli.A great romance tinged with humor at times.Charlotte was a complete innocent in so many ways but she did end up with the man of her dreams.There was nothing traditional about their relationship but i thought they were meant for each other.I also now has a huge chrush on Eli.He can be my Daddy any day.He was strong,stern and so sexy.I loved everything about this book. This well written story is a must read.I now have to patiently wait for the next book in this series ,but the only problem is that i am greedy and don't want to wait.I am sure that you will love the characters like I do.

One Star For:
1) Non-consent in a book that's neither labeled"dark" nor includes a warning in the blurb;
2) An older man who beats a young woman barely out of high school for underage drinking (never mind that he's committing a felony offense by hitting a woman without her consent, but, hey, in Ms. Handel's world, legality and illegality are arbitrary concepts);
3) The doormat heroine who has no hopes, goals, or aspirations of her own and takes anything the man who constantly beats her dishes out for any reason because she's been raised to believe -- in a very cult-like way -- that a man's hitting you means love;
4) The family we're supposed to admire even though they have little compulsion about threatening to kill a young woman barely 21;
5) My exhausted brain having to engage in the cognitive dissonance necessary to find any of this remotely erotic or enjoyable, which is too bad because I've liked a couple of the entries in this series.
The only saving grace to this book is that the author does not go down the very worn, very tired, very misogynistic road in her depiction .
Put "non-consent" on your books, authors and publishers: It's not hard; I've seen it on Amazon; and it can be done.

This is the seventh book in the series but it can be read as a stand-alone. Three years ago, Eli took her over her knee and gave her a spanking and left it at that. Now is in real trouble and this time Charlotte will become his. Fast-paced steamy read with loads of drama and hot chemistry. I liked it.

DNF at 6%. I already don’t like the author’s writing style. The first chapter is in the MMC’s POV, talking about wanting to work for this Robin Hood mafia. The head of which is a billionaire? And it is emotionless. This thing he’s wanted to do for years and prepared himself to warrant an offer into the brotherhood, but it all seems completely flat.
He seems completely disinterested in the FMC (asked her to dance just because she’s sorta pretty and she was looking at him… oh, my, the attraction!) except that she might embarrass her father?!? Now he wants to spank her. He knows her casually it seems but this seems like an overreaction for sure. I imagine it was intended to illustrate his commitment to the honor/reputation of the brotherhood, but… meh.
I think this one is just not for me. it’s a shame for sure! I love a good Daddy who isn’t into the age play.

Daddy: A Mafia Billionaire Romance is the first book in Shanna Handel’s Bachman Daddies series. In this book, readers are introduced to Charlotte Greene and Eli Tatum Bachman. These two were secondary characters in a few of the other books in Ms. Handel’s Bachman Brotherhood series. This story takes place several years later. Charlotte is an accountant along side her father. They are associated on the fringes of the Bachman world. Charlotte has always been attracted to Eli. He, however, has never seen her as a romantic partner. Eli worked his ways up in the Bachman hierarchy. He is an alpha male. Both Eli and Charlotte hold a deep secret. He is a DD, and she is an LG. Secretly he yearns for an LG as she does for a DD. Will their secrets be revealed? Will they find each other? Will their path be smooth or filled with potholes? To discover the answers to these questions, you must read this book.
Once again Ms. Handel penned a delightful and riveting character-driven plot. She skillfully weaves in a splash of intrigue and a dash of intrigue into their romantic journey. I appreciate her artful use of conversational and internal dialog to provide readers opportunities to see the depth of their distinct personalities. Ms. Handel masterfully creates multi-dimensional characters. I enjoyed her writing style. I found it interesting that she used a prologue and the first two chapters to provide a backdrop while setting the stage for this story. I liked how she increases tension through several key events in the rising action of her plot arc. At one point I feared for Eli, but I won’t go further so as not to spoil it for future readers. It is with high anticipation; I look forward to reading the next book in this series. Happy Reading!

Stopped reading at 40%, the heroine is so damn annoying, she's completely brain-dead: her only aspiration in life is to be noticed by the male protagonist, who doesn't give a **** about her.
I usually love the innocent type, but I cannot stand heroines who have absolutely no self-respect.

Daddy was a fun read, quick. I think I got through it in about an hour and a half. The plot was simple and uncomplicated. The main focus was on the Daddy D/s scenes mixed with spanking and some anal play.
I haven’t read the rest of the series but there was no problems or confusion getting through this, like I said the plot is pretty simple and the little explanation necessary fit in nicely and explained anything that might have been confusing. So, I would easily call this a stand-alone.
We have Eli and Charlotte as our main characters, and they’ve grown up together so are close friends. The problem is Eli thinks of her as a sister, he says. While Charlotte has more than a small crush on him. Both of their familied work for the Bachman Brotherhood, which is basically made of shady billionaires from what I could see. Everyone is in awe of them, everyone wants to be one of them or one of their wives, the Bachman Beauties.
When Charlotte does something wrong and inappropriate at a Bachman function Eli gives her the choice of being punished by him, or having her father told. That night and what he does to her sets her on fire and after that she can’t stop thinking about him.
Eli works his way up into their ranks, while Charlotte falls deeper in love with him, but he doesn’t seem to notice until one night her desire to get his attention does to far and she puts her life in danger. Suddenly what she wants no longer matters. She’s given a command and has no choice but to obey. The results change her entire world.
The upsides: The book was basically fluff, which can be nice now and then. The D/s scenes were hot and well written.
The downsides: If you're looking for a heavy detailed plot and in-depth characters this probably isn't for you.

Will Charlotte get to call Eli Daddy forever?
Daddy is the seventh book set within the Bachman Mafia world. Charlotte has known that Eli was meant to be hers, but three years ago, he crushed her heart by friend-zoning her. Now is her chance to show him they were made for one another, but will her rash actions put her in danger, or will she get to call Eli Daddy forever?
I loved being back with the Bachman family and loved this new twist on these dominant and protective men! Charlotte and Eli were steamy and sweet, and while there lots of bumps in their road to happily ever after, I feel like their relationship was strengthened because of their journey. Charlotte was brave in how she liked to go after what she wanted, but she wasn’t very good at thinking her actions through. Eli was exactly what she needed, because he was willing to indulge her in some ways, but also was stern and set boundaries and consequences to her actions when necessary. I loved him as a Daddy Dom, but also enjoyed that there wasn’t any age play. I felt like there were a couple of plot holes in this story, but at the same time, they didn’t really take away from the romance. I enjoyed reading this book! I loved the little bits of drama and the troubles that Charlotte found herself in. This book was perfect to escape into and I loved how fast paced the book moved. I am already excited about the next book in the series, too!

Another outstanding winner in the Mafia Billionaire Romance series. While this reads very well as a stand-alone story it is very helpful to have read previous books in the series to get a better appreciation of the family values of the Bachman clan and the importance of their Village. In this book we get the story of Eli and Charlotte, two friends who have grown up together in the city while their father’s work in one of the Bachman family legitimate businesses. Charlotte has always been infatuated with Eli, but he sees her as more of a sister. This is made abundantly clear after he disciplines her for getting out of line at a family party. Eli has his sights set on becoming a member of the Bachman clan and makes a deal with Rockland to get a foot in the door. As he progresses in his quest he finds he is in need of matrimonial stability. Charlotte is not in his sights, but she works her way into them and the story really blossoms from there. As with all books in the series, the reader is entertained with action, scenes of discipline and scenes of very graphic, very erotic sex. I really enjoyed this latest book and I can’t wait for the release of the next one. Spanking romance at its best. 5* Stars

In this latest book about the Bachman Brotherhood, an intriguingly kinky mafia family with a Robin Hood style twist, we have the story of Lulu. She is a investigative journalist trying to get her big break in her career. Lulu is determined to publish a story about salacious sexual behavior of the Brotherhood. We met her briefly in a previous book in the series. Some characters from other books in the series make brief appearances in this one, although this story is definitely a stand-alone.
As you know from the title and the cover of the book, there is more than one male lead character. Jet and Liam are members of the Brotherhood with different backgrounds and different appearances, but the same sexual proclivities towards women. In their case, that includes a willingness to share. There is spanking and a lot of sex in this book, but there is also a real plot that fits nicely with the others in the series. There is an HEA for the 3 lead characters, and several directions a next book in the series could take. I just would have liked to see more emotion. Overall, a quick and entertaining read,

Shanna is a talented author with a gift for dominant mafia men and daddies. When you combine those two gifts your world explodes and you forget about everything but the Bachman Daddy and his sassy little girl.
Eli is confident in himself and his career, but when it comes to love, he has no idea until a curious little imp from his past attempts to break into his new life. Charlotte, a sassy little gal with a love of bright colors and a burning desire for a daddy gets in a little over her head when she makes a rash decision to go after Eli.
You feel as if you are right in the middle of the Bachman Men and The Beauties. Watching the relationship between Eli and Charlotte grow and blossom through self doubt and fear into true love with a dominant daddy and his perfect submissive little was mesmerizing. I felt like I needed popcorn because I was hooked on the scene I was watching play out. I can’t find the words to describe the feelings that drummed through me throughout the whole book.

If you have read my reviews it is no secret that I am a HUGE fan of Ms. Handel and the Mafia Billionaire series. Rockland ROCKed my world, and every book after has been amazing. Rockland always kept a special place in my heart, maybe partly because he was the first. But move over Rockland, you have to make room for Eli in this first book of the spin-off series! I have no doubt that Daddy Eli will be featuring prominently in my daddy dreams. 🔥🔥 He is one strict, no-nonsense, Daddy. There are public punishments (*shiver*) and intimate ones too. But I don’t want to leave out Charlotte. I absolutely adore her. She is sweet, tenacious, impulsive... everything you want for a great ‘baby girl.’ She gets herself into lots of scrapes, like some really big ones. And man, does it make the story captivating from beginning to end. I cannot say enough about this story. Ms. Handel simply cannot put them out fast enough fast enough for me, but I am grateful for ever.single.one! ❤️❤️❤️

I like the Bachman series. Eli and Charlotte's story was fast paced and had romantic moments. When I first read that Charlotte was underage, I had to go back and re-read. Charlotte was underage for drinking (therefore under 21), but it read like she was 19 or 20. So Eli wasn't that much older than her.
This book appeared to me to be shorter than some of the other Bachman tales. There were a number of steamy scenes, but not as much story. It seemed to me like Bronson, Carter, and Rockland had more of a story regarding their relationships, their business, and the Beauties interactions.
I did like that Eli's ex turned out the way she did. I would have liked to have seen more with Charlotte as her self confidence increased. I would give this book a 3.5. It was good, but I wanted more story.

What could be better than a story that combines the Bachmans with a Daddy Dom? Nothing as far as I'm concerned. Charlotte and Eli basically grew up together on the legitimate side of the Bachman's business. Their parents were friends and so, ultimately, were Charlotte and Eli with Eli watching out for Charlotte when they were together. But Eli wanted more than that. He wanted to become a Bachman and laid out a plan to Rockland how he could prove himself. Unfortunately, the same night at the same Bachman party, Charlotte decided to celebrate a little too much and catching Eli's attention. He gave her two choices: 1) take her to her father and she could admit everything she'd done or 2) he would handle the punishment himself. This one interaction sparked the story and set butterflies in my tummy. I couldn't put this down. The vulnerability, the miscommunication, the chemistry between these two, and the enforcing of the Bachman rules kept me turning pages until the very end. I loved it!

This is the latest story by Shanna Handel and it's simply wonderful! I couldn't put it down. I love the Bachmans since the start. I loved that Eli and Charlotte have their own story. I couldn't wait to see what happened next between these two.
Eli and Charlotte grew up together since their fathers' worked for the Bachmans in the legit businesses. One night at a party, Charlotte needs some correction. Eli gives her a choice and she accepts her correction but that leads them on separate paths. Years later, they meet up again and Charlotte realizes that she still has a crush on him. She makes a bold decision to try to get him to notice her. It backfires on her in a big way. Eli needs to make a decision in order to keep her safe. Will they find their happily ever after together?

Another Baughman treasure! I didn't like seeing this side of Tess. It was much too brutal when you consider how she messed up so many times in her past. She was a regular window fixture with her first husband. Omg. The wedding and pre wedding! What the what!! Swooning!! I liked the friends to lovers relationship between these two. It fit them perfectly and was more believable than an insta love situation. The like keeps growing and building up until love blossoms. I liked the spanking lessons because they worked so well, repeatedly!!! I love the thought and caring the men put intothe proper swift punishments. Now that's love! I'm never leaving Baughman land and will be rereading this after I post my review. I loved the post engagement announcement. It was gracious and so thoughtful.

I loved this next book in the Bachman series! We met Charlotte and Eli on the Bachman yacht in Consequences. Charlotte and Eli grew up together and Charlotte has always had a crush on him. That turns quickly into love, but Eli doesn't feel the same. Charlotte pushes her luck by sneaking into the Village. When caught, she is forced to marry Eli to save her life. She feels guilty, but she also wants to love him. Eli likes being Daddy to her little girl and marrying her wasn't a hardship. He loves Charlotte, but he is not in love with her. Charlotte does her best to change that. Eli and Charlotte have a HEA. This was a great addition to the Bachman books. I can't wait for the next one!

This was a very interesting read of an unique mafia family that isn't formed by blood families. Every man and every woman who knew of this Bachman Mafia all wanted to be part of them. They are carefully selected. They are pretty ruthless when it comes to protecting their organization. This lady was ordered to be killed for breaking into The Village, mafia owned and run, to see her old friend she'd run into who also protected her from his Brotherhood. Head of Brotherhood's, Rockland's, wife decided it best to force their Watcher to marry his friend to protect her. I give this book 3 1/2 cups of hot java (had to go up to 4 bec they do not do halfsies), ☕☕☕☕.

A Bachman Brotherhood man is trapped. Trapped because Eli and Charlotte have been friends forever, but being forced to make her his wife is not his choice. In the past, he even had to spank her bottom and set her firmly in the friend zone. Doesn't matter, she has always loved him and she even called him his favorite name, Daddy. When she gets in a bind with the Brotherhood, Eli knows he will do whatever he has to do to save her. Hopefully, he can learn to love her. If not, Charlotte will also do what she has to do for him.

Another fun and entertaining story set in the Bachman family world. I liked looking at the world from her young eyes. The level of fear she portrayed when she thoughtlessly acted on her own was palpable. He was perfect in his handling of her in the present though I thought he was a bit callous in his actions after their initial encounter in the past. An engaging set of characters that I thought were likable with a suspenseful storyline to play in and a beautiful ending. I’m also intrigued by the set up for the next book. I can’t wait to read it!

Charlotte has wanted Eli for such a long time, but he just think of her as a family friend. A big mistake will lead them both into a relationship that only one of them really wants, but it will take time for the other to realizes that what was in front of him is what he truly needs.
Spanking Charlotte little behind will be the thing to get this young girl in line if only to save her life...
I have read some of the other Bachman family books where all the men will have to get there female in line, and they are all just superb!..

I've read every Bachman story written so far and I never get tired of reading about these hot alpha's. The Bachman are Mafia Billionaires. Daddy Eli is the first book of the Bachman spin-off. He can be my Daddy anytime he wants. Charlotte got a spanking from him a few years ago and she called him Daddy. But Charlotte got in worse trouble so now Daddy is going to take care of everything and love her with spankings, domination, humiliation and plenty of steam. You have to try this series it is fantastic. I look forward to more of the Bachman's from Ms. Handel. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Another wonderful story in this series. I loved Eli and Charlotte, even though Charlotte was impulsive and sassy as all get out! LOL I couldn't put the book down and read the whole story in one sitting! Eli is "forced" to marry Charlotte after she does something and gets caught. And while Charlotte has always loved him, he didn't seem to realize he returned her feelings until she gets in trouble. A match made in Heaven? Time will tell!!! At first I didn't like Eli's ex girlfriend but she turned out to be a good friend to Charlotte in another one of her bad decisions! LOL Now I'll just be eagerly waiting for the next book.

"I love you like a sister". What woman wants to hear that?? Not Charlotte! But she never gives up hope that her hometown long-term crush on Eli will become the real thing, especially after he kisses her. But Eli is a decisive man and won't say it unless he is sure, which makes for much frustration, especially when a glamorous woman from his past shows up with a desire to "try again".
This story is an excellent addition to the Bachman family books that I couldn't put down. I am honored to have received this ARC of Daddy: A Mafia Billionaire Romance and will read it again and again.

I loved this story. It's very easy to read. A real page-turner. Poor Charlotte is so in love with hot, determined and protective Eli. There are plenty of hot spicy sexy scenes and some disciplinary spankings as Eli and Charlotte navigate their relationship. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book and I very highly recommend it. Love it. Don't let the title put you off a truly brillant read. This is a very well written and very enjoyable story. I hope that there will be lots more from this special new series. Please.

A riveting story from start to finish. Charlotte is such a character as she is impulsive and headstrong. She is exactly like a little girl who needs to be taken care of. And Eli is the Daddy to do that. It was entertaining to read of all the hi-jinks that Charlotte got into along the way to getting Eli to fall in love with her. This book was fun, funny, sad at times but also romantic and steamy.. Daddy is a good addition to my library.

I didn’t really like this story. I have read the previous ones about the Bachmann group and enjoyed them. This book is told in the first person but I found much of the sentences short and choppy which made the reading seem jerky. 99% is told in the present except for about two sentences that strangely are told in the past. This was jarring. I don’t like Daddy Doms if they include age play which this one does not. However somehow I just couldn’t relate to and didn’t really care what happened to the characters.
