More than Innocent

The Boss's Runaway

Rate this book
Sissy has escaped her tight fisted father and run all the way to Vegas to start a life on her own terms. First order of business? Make some cash as a cocktail waitress…

Over his dead body. Locke isn’t about to set this beautifully innocent farm girl loose on the casino floor or she’ll drive the men wild. Problem is, she has already driven him to the brink of madness with her smile, her scent, her body—and he’s far too old and jaded for a girl this sweet.

Unfortunately, she’s homeless and needs a place to sleep…and he’s powerless to do anything but bring her home and try to resist temptation.

Well, that’s one way to use a playground swing

Meh- OTT jp/protective, DDlg, praise and daddy kink galore. So much potential but it was missing something. We get our usual JK stuff- h that’s a v, OTT, j/p, protective H, dirty talk, but it was missing something…

Sissy (18/19) ran away from an abusive household. Her dad has worked her to the bone and keeps taking from her, expecting her to always follow her rules and has kept her sheltered, which is why she finally ran away. She goes to Sin City and is planning to work as a waitress in a casino. That is until she meets Locke.

Locke (35) is a highly religious pit boss😅. He’s a huge, big, hairy-ish, non-so-attractive man that was going to be a priest years before. He’s been celibate for a while now, using his life to help others. When he sees Sissy, he becomes instantly infatuated by her, and no other man is going to have her, just him.

I liked many aspects of this book. I, of course, giggled here and there, pretty usual whenever I read a JK novel (does he REALLLLLLY need 8 dead bolts on the door 😂😂😂). I like that he’s a big guy that’s not the most attractive and he’s super OTT/overprotective of her (I mean. No man better say they want to taste her c*** unless he wants to no longer have a nose💁🏻‍♀️💅).

But I was cringing at the DDlg play… it’s a lot… I can do daddy kink but I’m not the most comfortable with DDlg 😬😅. Also, like usual, I wish it was longer. Sigh. Maybe one day lol.

And we really only get two full smexx scenes (more if you count other stuff lol). That playground swing scene was pretty 💦😅🔥. Of course, the scenes are super diiiiirtay and 🥵🔥, but I couldn’t deal with the DDlg. Annnnd… the ending was rushed. I knew what was going to happen, but I still wanted it to be a little bit more developed.

It was an okay read for me 😅😬.

Not her best. Sorry, not sorry. This was trademark JK with the Daddy talk starting at 6% in, I don’t think she is even trying to write original stories anymore. Just a big burly guy heaving and grunting over a way too young nubile virgin. She just can’t seem to match her own goodness anymore. This one wasn’t even exciting. I mean where is the taboo? No best friend’s dad, no step brother, no newly released ex-con, no priest? Meh.

It's that time of the month for Jessa to finally be let loose and release this month's round of daddy issues between a:

-🤩 wannabe bull priest turned casino manager 🤩
- 🐂 And a runaway farmhand(?) in hiding from her father 🐂

You know, every book that I read by JK is honestly a spiritual experience: I just feel so enlightened seeing these men being in a constant state of pain 💀 (honestly as they should be). STOP BC THE UPPER LIP SWEAT WAS REAL IN THIS BOOK 💀💀💀💀💀.

This story truly was an experience to go through. We got a heroine (her name was Sissy 🧍‍♀️🎃), who would skip her way (she literally skipped) through life, and had only ever lived on a farm with no knowledge of the opposite sex. And a vegas setting where we had a hero who, as usual, had anger issues, and the suppressed daddy-inclined nature within him.

The number of times that this man referred to himself as an animal should not be ok, and I would like to state that I'm traumatized 🧍‍♀️.

Add to the mix an abusive father, alcohol, and nighttime playground outings, and there you have this month's insight into JK's mind.

🧐 Thoughts I was left with after the book: 🧐

- Size in fact does matter
- Spanking = religious experience?
- hide your children at playgrounds
- You should truly pout your way through life

Anyways, I'll leave ya'll with some truly philosophical quotes to ponder over: Jessa, I-

---🕊️The spanking🕊️---

''There’s no time to gasp or struggle or be anything but stunned before his hand comes down hard and spanks me... All I hear is a choir singing in my head. It’s the one from church, back in our small Nebraska town. Voices lift and swell and harmonize and finally, finally, I get the religious experience I’ve been lacking all this time. This man’s hand is delivering righteousness to me in sharp slaps of my buttocks.

--👺The Bull 👺--

“Oh my goodness,” she gasps, dropping the sheet to the side. “Is that…the n-normal size?”
“It looks like it belongs to one of our farm animals.”
“Which one?”
“The bull”

I'm gonna go take a walk and think about what I just read.

What a wild fückïng ride yet again. I mean the depth of story telling here is just…WOW. Despite the weird barn animal references a 5 star read.

Favorite quotes:
“I’m going to put my 🐓 in that sinnin’ hole now.”

“I need my ride. I need your hole. I need it now.”

“Pounding it like a motherfucker with a 🐓 that won’t even fit.

It's a jessa kane book so it's a hit or a miss and this one was meh to me.

Sissy.. yes that's her name runs away because her father is a douche now shes in Vegas hoping to get a job and live her life. She heard some tips from another waitress and gets interview by Locke a put boss who is doing this interview because be saw her and going to protect her but for some reason pushes her away because Age and his religious thingy.

So it's Sissy who's the one who jumping him like a cat in heat trying to break him. Yeah which annoyed me. And Locke being yes no..yes no yes it was annoying. Bad guys are the guys at the Casinos wanting her because tight outfits. Yeah.. just cuz she 18 doesn't mean her vagina is gold.

Another bad guy is well the dad.. beside that and daddy. That's about it.

Om drama, no cheating, Drama, sexy times, virgin gal and no manwhore celibate H

I’m a large man, tall and wide and thick. I would crush her to death, yet I can’t seem to stop my mind from picturing myself between her thighs. Just pulling her skirt up and rutting. Her big, fathomless eyes blink up at me, telling me it hurts. Daddy, it’s too big. 7 %

This sums up the whole book just a slew of shenanigans and sexy scenes that will melt your panties and your inhibitions.

Jessa Kane always rocks my world 🦁🥰!! Time for a reread !!

The only information you need to know about this book is:
1. The girl's name is Sissy and the guy's name is Locke
2. Sissy thinks getting spanking is a new form of baptism
3. Locke was going to be a priest (which on second thought he should have been)
4. Locke pushes the inner priest out and brings bad daddy in
5. Sissy thinks that Locke's cock looks like it belongs to a farm animal

And the rest is not as important as the 5th point.

As always, Jessa brings the spice.
This was filthy and hot.
But. Not my favorite from her.
The little bits and pieces of a ‘Daddy’ kink in this one were tinged a little bit in a direction that made me feel the tiniest kernel of the ick start to creep in. Thankfully, the couple times that happened it steered back to hot dirtiness so I still liked it.

Obviously, it was also ridiculous, like basically every book this author writes. But again, the hot filthiness of it all sort of distracts from it and makes it somehow acceptable to me.

Lol.
Hot ridiculousness, and ridiculous hotness.
That’s Jessa Kane in a nutshell.

"The Boss's Runaway" is the story of Sissy and Locke.

This insanely smutty treat tells the story of our heroine running after from her toxic family, coming to a casino and meeting the grumpy scarred hero. He is a religious man, who has always steered away from sin- until the angel enters and tests all his boundaries.

Loads of dirty talk, daddy play, kinky sex with jealous possessiveness!

Safe

This was similar to a lot of Jessa Kane in that it was ddlg play, but it differed too with the priest background, which made it hot. Sissy (yeah, that’s her name lol) is running from her controlling father, arriving in Vegas to make a new life for herself. Locke is a pit boss at the casino, and becomes her savior, as well as her daddy dom. I loved that Sissy wasnt completely clueless, even though she lived a very secluded life. I want to say I enjoyed this, but when do we ever not enjoy Jessa Kane’s smutty novellas?

NOPE. This one isn't for me. I picked it up to kill time at work, as Kane's books are fairly short, but the incorporation of religion within the plot was a turn off.

We are reading smut here, people. Where does religion belong in this equation?

I don't want to read about a thirty-five year old convent drop-out who is barely in control of his urges towards a nineteen year old stranger he's known for 0.5 seconds. The daddy business is easy breezy beautiful; I could read that all day no problem.

The ex-priest who "needs [her] hole" and to "rut into her like a dog"-- NO.

I mean, damn, what a way to phrase it; "I need my ride. I need your hole. I need it now." Very eloquently put, am I right?

From the moment I began reading, the man I was visualizing was an underwhelming middle aged man you'd see in the liquor section of a grocery store. Nothing to write home about by any means, and I was stuck here thinking, "What the fuck, why?" Her reaction to his behavior was confusing from the moment they met. And don't get me started on the completely unwarranted spanking during her interview that made her run off. Nahh.

This is not to say that I don't enjoy the taboo! Bring it on. Just leave your rosaries and prayers at home.

classical Jk/ big H/ young h/ DDlg dynamic/Vegas

This is a classic JK read. It’s OTT, steamy, kinda ridiculous and has a daddy kink thrown in. Takes place in Vegas.

-H is big and burly and a pit boss who was going to be a priest but didn’t and so now he basically prays and stays celibate while working in the pits of the gambling floors of a casino… 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️ idk didn’t make sense to me either hahahha.
-h is a runaway from a farm where she lives and worked herself to the home under an abusive father and mother who turned a blind eye. She’s in Vegas trying to go for an interview to be a waitress.

This is where they meet. It’s instant.
-Age gap. He’s in his 30s I think? I can’t can’t even member lol and she’s 18.
-DDlg… this is not just a few “daddy’s” this is DDlg dynamic. Meaning she’s giggling, and their role playing abut not getting caught, and he calls her pumpkin, and soooo yeah. I wouldn’t say it’s really age play butttttt it’s def got that little girl vibe just bit like dressed in onesies and mess. I’m not really huge for DDlg unless it’s done to where it doesn’t feel creepy. This was in that middle for me. I almost stopped but decided it’s jessa so I knew it would be a bit giggle/Lgish and figured I’d still try.
-H is OTT JP and I loved that.
-HEA

i will always drop everything to read every one of JK’s new releases. this one didn’t hit the mark for me. at first, i was so excited to be getting a slightly longer book but it got pretty boring. the beginning was so good. i loved the tension and the willpower Locke had to not touch Sissy and just that overall sizzling chemistry set off to be a really great book. then, it got repetitive and a bit boring after that. i may be toxic but i wished Locke was more possessive and obsessive over her, even though he’s already that, i wanted more lol. super spicy as always but had A LOT of age play— something i wasn’t expecting and don’t particularly enjoy reading myself.

overall, a bit disappointed but i loved the beginning!

Sissy ha escapado de una vida amarga en su pueblo donde su controlador padre no la deja vivir. Cuando llega a las Vegas es posible que de sienta abrumada por el contraste cultural pero tiene que trabajar y lo hará. Pero cuando su entrevista de trabajo suceda... Será que si le permitirán trabajar o vivirá para tentar a su jefe?

Últimamente tengo el día de leer a Jessa, llevo muchos libros extensos así que estos libros son un bálsamo de cero dramas y amor del bueno y cochinero JAJAJAJAJAJ que haría yo sin estos libros dios mío!

Love the OTT H like always
Liked this plot, how they met etc.
In this one i had trouble about that daddy kink...a little way to much..
other than that i didn't like the big age gap , oh and also, i rolled my eyes that every one wanted a piece of her, like she was unique. Ok having a few trying but in this one was OTT.
