The Daddy Returns

by Kessily Lewel

Mitch James - Cowboy. Spy. And... Daddy Dom?

An unexpected break in filming finally gives Mitch the chance he’s been waiting for to whisk Olivia and her daughter away to his family’s ranch.

But for Olivia it’s the scariest challenge of their relationship yet and going home to meet his huge family has all her doubts and insecurities rising. On top of that she has to balance being Emma’s mom with being Mitch’s submissive and Little for the first time.

Just when everything seems to be working out, a betrayal from his own family upends everything. It will take all of Daddy’s patience to get them through the storm intact.

Part of this book was previously published as a novella (Home with Daddy) in the limited time Dirty Daddies 2021 anthology, which is no longer available. It has been rewritten and expanded to almost triple the size of the novella.

About the author

USA Today Bestselling Author Kessily Lewel, and her darker side Sadie Marks, are two halves of the same author. All of her work falls under the category of power-exchange romance. Kessily’s books tend more towards sexy romance with a side of domestic discipline, while Sadie has been sticking to sci-fi, with her race of Dominant aliens who are looking for a few good humans to call their own.

She has been in love with fantasy, sci-fi and horror since she was a child. She grew up reading Stephen King, Asimov, Robert Heinlein, and others, so it was only natural that one day she’d write her own worlds—though hers do seem to have a lot more sex and BDSM in them.

The couple: Mitch and Olivia

Romance trope: DD/lg
Series: Action Daddy
Length: 232 pages

Plot: This book picks up right where the other left off. Mitch is worried about what will happen when they have to try a long-distance relationship (when he has to switch locations for his next movie), but mostly he wants Olivia to feel comfortable enough with him to believe that he loves her and wants to keep her and that going public wouldn't be so bad. Olivia is worried about much the same things. Something happens on the movie set, so Mitch has a chance to go home to his parent's ranch for a week, and he convinces Olivia to come with him (and to bring Emma). She finally agrees and they have a great time, but toward the end, one of the young relatives lets a picture leak out, so they have no choice but to go public. Olivia's surprisingly okay with it though, and that's where the story ends, awaiting the next installment.

Commentary: I've really enjoyed this series. Mitch is as patient as you would imagine a good Daddy dom should be. He loves Olivia in a sweet and hard way and always gives her just what she needs. He sees her value when other people see just what she can do for them. And he likes her daughter as well (and I imagine, with more time and exposure, will come to l love her), and that's a bonus. I love the scene in the airport where he has Emma pick out a stuffie for herself and her mom.
I can't wait for the next book so I can find out how Mitch and Olivia deal with their sudden exposure as a couple!

Mitch is slowly but surely working on Olivia’s fears of the exposure of their relationship and her feelings of inadequacy in that relationship. He feels a big part of that could come via meeting his family and her learning that his roots are far from the glamour of his movie stardom. When the stars align and a weeklong break in filming occurs he takes advantage by arranging a visit to the family ranch for him, Olivia and her daughter Emma. Olivia doesn’t make the planning easy, but once she is convinced to give it a try the game is on! Meeting the family is a bit overwhelming, but the open and honest welcoming of his mother for her and the many cousins for Emma, all gets off to a very good start. Throughout the visit Mitch makes it a point to have private time for him and Olivia where they can explore the three facets of their relationship, Daddy/little, Dom/sub, and MF. They keep the three distinct with the interactions and sex appropriate to the mind set of Olivia. Each facet plays an important role in their relationship and are important to Olivia in her coming to terms with herself and said relationship. The visit goes well with lots of fun, action and adventure right up until the night before they are due to return to California. Someone has compromised their privacy and a cathartic climax explodes. There is no cliff hanger, but just when I was afraid the series was coming to an end, the promise of a 4th Book in 2023 was presented. I can’t wait. 4 Stars

I had read this story in the Dirty Daddies 2021 Anthology, but Kessily Lewel added a lot more content to it to make the story new and exciting.
Mitch is taking Olivia and her daughter Emma, to meet his huge family on the family ranch in Colorado. Olivia is nervous his family won't like her and would think that she is a gold digger.
While at the ranch, Olivia and Mitch get to spend quality (and kinky) time together and enjoy their stay with Mitch's extended family. Mitch's parents and brothers easily see how perfect Olivia is for Mitch and how happy she makes him.
Somthing happenes toward the end of the visit that will bring a big change to their life but Mitch and Olivia will whether the storm together.
This is the third book in the series, and even though not a lot happens in it plot wise, it showcases Mitch and Olivia sweet love story to perfection. I love seeing how their relationship grow and becomes stronger as Olivia gets more secure of her place in Mitch's life.
This is a lovely "feel good" story and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

I absolutely loved this book it was amazing, Kessily Lewel has done it again telling us the story as we watch the characters coming off the pages to make it seem real. Mitch is a well known actor, a Daddy Dom. Olivia is a single mother and a Little. Mitch tried for a long time to go out with Olivia breaking her wall down slowly but surely, her previous relationship was with an actor he left then and she found out she was pregnant so her and her mum have been raising her daughter without help. Olivia works at the movie sets supplying the actors with food she loves her job it might not pay much, as long as it pays her rent and food that is all she worries about and she is a proud person not excepting handouts. This story was fantastic I could not stop reading until the end.

This story has a DD/lg relationship, spanking, and assorted other kinks as well. If things like that upset you then you should avoid reading this. Olivia and Mitch's story is one of determination and insecurities. Almost everything is new to Olivia. With the responsibilities that came with being a single mother she often didn't have the time, money, or inclination to indulge herself. Mitch, on the other hand, was financially flush from his acting career and wanted to spoil his little girl and her daughter. Getting her to fly to his family's ranch and meet everyone took a good amount of convincing. The story ended with a happy-for-now type ending and the promise of more books to their story coming.

DAGNABBIT!!

I so enjoyed this series! I was hoping that it would wrap up with a HEA. I didn’t like being dropped on my head with another book coming next year. I can’t wait that long. 🙁 I love how Mitch and Olivia’s relationship has grown, how Olivia has grown. Emma is a hoot! I’m looking forward to seeing if Sophia and Anthony’s relationship will blossom. Will Mitch’s two older brothers appear? So many unanswered questions 🙄! Now, I gotta wait. The author is awesome and the books have been well written, thoughtful entertaining and informative. The whole kink aspect has been well written and explained. Looking forward to more Mitch and Olivia.

I think it took me so long to finish reading this because at this point I felt that the story had already run for so long. With each book, the level of BDSM increased and I was ok with that. I think I just had a problem with the Little (Olivia) in the "Daddy Dom-Little" relationship being very child-like to the point of being whiny.

Maybe it's the mom in me. I never let my daughter or any of the kids I babysat whine. It always irritated me. That aside, though, Mitch is definitely hot.

This is not a stand-alone book. Without the first two, this story will not make as much sense.

I read the novella in the anthology and this version isn't much different. There is more detail, but it doesn't change anything. If you have read that novella then there isn't any reason to read this book.

If you haven't read it than you will want to read this book. It's exciting, entertaining and a relaxing read.

I so enjoyed this book. It was a light story with a little domestic discipline but nothing that overpowered the story. I loved Mitch. He was a perfect Daddy Dom in my opinion. Nothing too harsh. A more nurturing Dom. Great character development and a nice overall story. I would certainly read more from this author.

A nice story that took us to a family ranch where Olivia got to meet Mitch's family. It was a smooth read, not heavy on age play ( something I Iiked) with well written love scenes and unexpected twist near the end. All in all, a good read.

I was rather disappointed with this book as it mostly felt like a filler until the next book. There is not much that moves the story along, there is no critical event that then leaves to resolution. I hope the next one is better

He’s a famous actor who came from humble beginnings. She is a single mother who was burned by an actor before. It takes the love of a daddy to help build her confidence in herself and their love.

This was a great, one-sitting read with some spice and great characters.

I enjoy age-gap romance and that's Mitch and Olivia's story!

Meeting the family makes Olivia tense, but Mitch knows how to help her with that!

I originally read this book when it was part of the mythology. How. However the changes that were made to the story made it incredible. It feels complete and Lee and it was well done.

The Daddy Returns continues the love affair.

Mitch and Olivia spend time with Mitch's big family. Things happen but I'm sure they will get their happily ever after.

I read this in the Dirty Daddies anthology and I loved it there. So much more was added to this. It is amazing. I love the dynamics between Mitch and Olivia. After all this time Olivia is still scared but her daddy and Dom knows how to put her at ease.

This is the third story in the ongoing saga of Mitch and Olivia. Each story has a complete arc resolution and can be read as a stand alone, but why would you. Read them all. In this story Olivia heads home with Mitch during a break at work and meets his family. She's a little apprehensive as she still sees herself as somehow less than and is worried his family will judge her or assume she's after Mitch for his money. I loved seeing her evolution during this trip and how well she steps up at the end of the story. Looking forward to more.

DNF the series after this book!

This was my third book by this author and I really enjoyed it but since these are more of short stories I decided to kinda rate these on a scale of being read together.

I did get 3 books in and decided to not go any further while I enjoyed some of the book some of it felt forced and lack luster in my opinion. I almost wish the author made this a full book so I could have finished the story because the endings felt like she just stopped writing and would pick up the stories months later.

All in all I did really enjoyed Mitch’s character but Olivia made me feel like she was so unsure of herself and needed guidance with the most simplest decisions. I rated these books 4 stars but honestly they were 3-3.5 in my book.

I loved this story in the Action Daddy series. I couldn't put it down. I loved seeing Mitch and Olivia. They have been getting closer and closer. The shoot has shut down for a week and Mitch is using this opportunity to go home. He wants to take Olivia and her daughter with him. Olivia still has some issues that pop up every now and then. Will this week together bring them closer together?
