Don't judge me: Every once in a while, a lady just likes to read a little Daddy kink that has all of the power exchange without any of that icky (to me) age play (our female main character is 25). And in a double dose of over the top plotlines, and it's the perfectly smutty end to a good reading year.

Besides, I’ve seen Joel’s father, the CEO. If Joel has any chance of growing into half the man his dad is, I’d be smart to stick around. Because Joel’s dad, Kingston Tyler? He takes my fucking breath away.

Not much to say, this was literally just a fun quick read. I wanted something easy and this was easy.

Little plot, I had no thoughts, and there was some good spice!

You can read my review of Falling for Them on my blog, here: https://thepaperworlds.blogspot.com/2....

This is a spoiler-free review! Falling for Them is currently available for free on iBooks and Kindle.

I honestly did not know what to expect from this book -- the taboo age gap definitely peaked my interest, since I have not read too many books with that trope before, unless we are counting Credence by Penelope Douglas. If you did not have the chance to look at the name of the series like I did before I started reading, you will be pleasantly surprised to find out that this is a Cinderella-inspired erotic MFM romance. I have to say that it exceeded my expectations and had me so entertained that I nearly finished it in one sitting. It is a great taboo romance that just skims the surface of Ella, Kingston, and Sebastian’s story.

The author does a great job at developing the characters and their background as the story moves forward, and you find that you know a lot about each individual character before you see them start to really interact with one another. We see Ella, our female lead, start off in this rocky situationship that she thinks is much bigger than it actually is -- being involved with one of the company's higher ups, you can only imagine the difficulties it will bring. But when he breaks off their barely-there relationship, she falls into the lap of his father -- and his father's best friend.

We get POVs from everyone, which was absolutely fantastic. I loved getting into Ella's mind, but even more so with Kingston and Sebastian. It is not too often that we get male leads in romance novels that are given both in depth character develop and well-versed POVs that show how much they care for the female lead. Yes, there are 100% books out there that have it, but I would say that it is hard to come by in taboo romance, only because we are exposed to a ton of insta-love relationships that tend to skip development and go straight into the relationship.

There are definitely a lot of obstacles that Ella, Kingston, and Sebastian have to overcome in order to get to the point in their relationship where they feel comfortable around each other and are comfortable with the prospect of having multiple people in a relationship. Ella certainly struggles a lot as she tries to come to terms with how she exactly ended up in this kinkier-than-expected relationship, when Kingston's son could only screw her in a broom closet and leave her without any real pleasure.

The author definitely incorporates the main aspects of Cinderella's story into Falling for Them, and you can certainly try to guess what twists and turns that their story will take. The smut scenes are really well done and the plot moves at a pace that leaves you turning the page until you are at the very end. I would definitely recommend this to fans of modern retellings with just enough spice for a quick read that will leave you wanting more.

Two doms, one maid

I was looking for an erotica and this one was free so I gave it a shot.
It includes two dominant guys finding their better half in a maid that works in the same building as one of them.
She is also a girlfriend of sorts to the son of one of the Doms.
This is a MFM book, it was exactly what I needed to read in the moment.
Unfortunately, even though I know this was not a standalone, the story finished in the middle of a scene, indicating to buy another book in the series. I'm curious and want to see mor of this characters but not curious enough. I needed a break from other books and this was all it was so I'm not buying the other books in the volume.
The book offers lots of different plots, the writing is great and I'll be on the lookout for other books by this author.

Honestly surprised I got through this - didn’t know what I got myself into at all. It wasn’t bad. The story itself (putting aside the kinks) was okay. I was just caught off guard not having read the book description prior to starting lol.

it was good but i don't think it deserves a whole four books to tell the story, like i can easily see how to fit it all in one book
i don't know, i like it but i'm not reading the next ones

A DDlg trying to be more than erotica and failing spectacularly. Full disclosure, the one erotic scene was 🥵, but the rest was uninventive and emotionless.

Strike 1: The boyfriend was OTT gross.
Strike 2: The MMCs become enamoured with a young lady just by watching her. Suddenly she's the one person of all those they've met who can satisfy both of their bedroom and emotional needs. What? You don't even know her.
Strike 3: Horrible attempt at teasing about a dark event in a MMC's past. Yeah. We get it. He became an alcoholic at the end of his rock star career and raped a woman one night but has no memory of it. The author's not exactly subtle about it. And frankly, I'm not interested.

Note: This is a 4 book series that needs to be read in its entirety. But I don't care about any of these people and certainly won't continue past this first installment.

Another stuff your kindle day disappointment. Again it seemed like too much was going on.

Dont get me wrong. I am an absolute hoe for ex’s dad. Like an ABSOLUTE HOE. but here first off her ex was like just an absolute dick. Idk why Ella thought they were dating he was such a tool.

I feel like the shifting POV’s made it difficult to become attached to any of the characters.

Her shitty brother endangering her? Unnecessary. Her “passion” for singing and ex’s-dad’s BFF an ex performer? Completely meh. Then the whole revenge porn? Are you kidding me? Absolutely not.

I was looking for a steamy romance. This is beyond kink. It's a specific deviant fantasy. I was thinking this book meant them as in falling for two separate guys at separate times. Not throuples. I am not a fan of 'daddy' or little girl talk. That's totally disgusting to me.

I was thinking more 50 shades romance not this. If you're into it you might like it. This is definitely not my thing. Won't continue this series.

Oh please......

Black maid living in the poor, run down neighborhood meets two rich white men. One has a jerk son, one is an older musician. Ella enters an unconventional relationship with her two 'daddies'. Ooh and I'm sure she will inspire the musician and become a star, too in the next book. It was like an accident that you can't turn away from. My accident was picking this book.

I... don't normally read books written in first person. It's totally a my-broken-brain thing. I just don't like it, I don't find them entertaining. And, yet, I often still try, because there are a LOT of great books out there that are written in first person. I recognize that, I just can't make my brain like them. So when I find one that I CAN read, it's an amazing thing.

This "book" was an amazing thing.

I'm not entirely sure referring to it as a "book" is... right, because it is admittedly a serial. The story is told over 4 "books". And while I don't generally like serials either (again, totally a wtf-is-wrong-with-my-brain thing), if they're the length of a normal book, I'm willing to give it a try. Most times, I'm not willing to keep investing time to follow through with the rest of the installments, usually because the "book length" isn't justifiable, for a number of reasons (mostly repetition or just gratuitous sex and/or violence for the sake of sex and/or violence).

I will ABSOLUTELY be following through and tracking down the rest of this story.

This story was well plotted and well written. It was entertaining. It kept me engaged enough to lose track of time. The language and explicit sex wasn't gratuitous, just there for the sake of being there. It all served a purpose and worked really well.

Oh, yeah. Language warning. And sex. Yup. That was sex. So that happened. You know, just in case you care about that.

I don't give a lot of 5 star reviews. Five stars is reserved for the best of the best. Five stars means "exceptional" and "far and beyond expectations".

This one gets 5 stars. Without any hesitation.

And I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who I knew wouldn't be offended by the content. (I know a lot of folks who clutch their pearls when I just mention sex or utter even a veiled curse word. Reading THIS would have them needing smelling salts.)

I fucking love taboo reads. It's really REALLY hot.
I want to finish this sooo bad but its not on KU.
I really hate her ex. Like for real for real. Why the hell would he want her back after she got what she needed from his dad and dad's best friend. I know he wants to prove he is the better man (no surprise to find out - he's not haha) but come on, after everything he put her through, why would she even think about wanting him back? hahaha..

I am really curious on what Sebastian is hiding. I'm also curious what Kingston's ex-wife all of a sudden wants. I know Joel got fired, but I really want to see him be put in his place. I REALLY wish I could finish the series. I bought book 2 but idk if I will be able to finish the series. We will see.

I loved the smut. I never really cared about the lil girl trope. I always found it weird that grown men got off on treating a woman like a child. I can handle the little girl / daddy dom if its during sex. But it really just depends about how much the girl is treated like a child.
I get it to some point and I enjoy it. I love taboo.
Taboo reads are my favorite trope. The smut is always so good.

The story line was a little off, I expected her and the son to be over with long before they were. At least the last time she had sex with him was a long while before.

Spice 3/5
Humor 0/5
Emotional .5/5
World Building 4/5
Overall 4/5

I read this book thanks to the event of Stuff-Your-Kindle Day. I would like to say that at the beggining I did not like Ella's way of behave and think because it was very submissive about her relationship with her boyfriend and her brother, she was not able to put limits. Actually I did not think her relationship with her boyfriend was seriuous because it was pretty obvious that he only used her to satisfy his sexual needs and he did not give a damn about her. It was pretty sad to see how she put effort in the relationship that was a one-side relation. Anyway, her "boyfriend" made me angry, he is a jackass. I did not even remember his name, it was not worthy hahaha On the other hand, it was excited to see how she developed desire toward Kingston and Sebastian, because they were truthly gentleman. I liked how the author put the basis for making the readers to want to know more about Bash's past because we see he had problems with the alcohol and a secret that he keeps. It was really spicy and light to read. I hope the next book will be better and I want to know how this throuple is going to work

Falling for them is NOT a standalone - The Author writes it at the beginning, and so shall I.

This is a 4 book Series - Leaving you on 3 cliffhangers and 1 happily ever after.

Cinderella's Daddies is about a girl who has been struggling to make ends meet, working 2 jobs and unable to follow her dreams of getting into the music industry due to lack of financial stability and self-esteem. So instead she works as a maid in a giant office building where she starts to date Joel.. who is a total D!Ck - But get's rescued and seduced by His CEO father and Father's Rockstar best friend. These two men prefer to share a woman than have their own, and they long for that woman to call them both Daddy. Ella is into it enough that she doesn't just have a one night stand (despite her self esteem telling her it can never be more) she ends up in a relationship with the two older men, and craziness ensues.

This book/series is packed full of sooo much drama, I feel sorry for Ella almost constantly. As well as her two men who also have to deal with drama. Calista Jayne really wanted this throuple to work hard for their HEA. Worth the read to find out how the manage to get it <3

I admit, I really just love all the craziness and drama. Plus I’m a big fan of Cinderella stories, and this one happens to feature a lot of my favorite tropes and themes. Writing is decent, occasionally impressive and occasionally subpar but for me that sits it sort of in the middle. Characters and distinct and interesting, there is still a lot we don’t know about them all. I also liked the side characters, they did exactly what they were meant to for the roles they had.

The sex scenes between the leads were very sexy and enjoyable. I like that different parts of their personalities come out when they have sex. Consent was discussed and reinforced often, something I appreciate.

More story to come up and fun! I like theorizing about what’s the come next, so the mysteries are always enjoyable for me. I’ll for sure read the rest of the books!

Light read, well written and just a lot of hot sex with men!

Listen these men are in their 40's but she's young so I guess their Daddy Doms. This is a read you're going to enjoy. It's a quick read, this has is a cliffhanger so it's not a standalone. They're really nice guys too so if you like the lighter reads its for you. I'm into very dark and twisted romance books..stalker and kidnapping and even murderous anti- heroes but every now and again I love a Dom book that has some sort of light angst to them. This is very well written, a must for me so, character development is also well done for a quick read. No quality lacking in this book. I'm looking forward to the next book!

This story has the potential of something great. I just couldn't get past the grammatical errors and how the fmc always would say, "Um, nothing, I don’t think."

-ex bf daddy and best friend
-millionaire men/ dirt poor fmc
-ménage
-DD/ lg (meh)
-bondage
-spanking
-voyeurism

Basically, Ella works like 3 jobs to pay off her father's medical bills, and her brother is a loser who steals from her. Ella works for a cleaning service that's in charge of cleaning an office space that her "boyfriend's" dad owns.

One thing leads to another, and she becomes the dad and his best friends, lg.

Honestly, this story would've been great if she had just ended up with only the best friend. That connection seems more genuine.

Anyway, I don't plan on reading the next in the series.

This was a freebie from SYKD and I thought what the hell. I've dabbled in reverse harem why choose MFM before now what's the harm. Didn't actually realise tho that it was a series and it clearly reads like on.

Ella is a maid with a back story that we haven't quite figure out yet but eludes to on man occasions.

Kingston clearly has something big about to happen but not in this book.

Bash is an again Rockstar with a dirty past but once again we don't find out just yet.

All 3 engage in a throuple relationship after ella ends her "relationship" with Kingstons son, but it doesn't come without its own set of problems.


I may choose to continue the series if it ever comes onto KU but it's not high on my priorities.

Ella and her daddies

I absolutely loved this book and would thoroughly recommend it hoping others enjoy it as much as I did. Even though it's part of a series of books it's still brilliant with great characters and storyline. Ella is hard working trying to pay off the hospital bills due to her father getting sick and dying. Forced to work two jobs to make ends meet she meets Joel at one of her jobs cleaning. Convinced that he cares she lets him do whatever where he works to her. Meanwhile his father sees her and is attracted as well as his best friend. What happens should keep readers following and enjoying the interactions between Ella and her men.

If you like a good throuple romance, this is one for you. Ella is "dating" Joel; however, his dad Kingston and Kingston's Sebastian would like to change that and soon. When Joel dumps Ella because she is a maid, Kingston and Sebastian see their chance. Will Ella be able to handle what Kingston and Sebastian are proposing??

This book does end in a cliffhanger. However, it definitely leaves you clamoring to jump right into the next book immediately. The sex scenes are hot and flame worthy!! Great solid 4 star read!

The DD/lg power exchange isn’t my thing. It took me years not to think of it as crossing that line but eventually (after a lot of discussions with people on both sides of the slash), I understood the appeal.

That being said, this was decently done. I felt Joel was undeveloped as a character as was King’s treatment of him.

Will I be picking up the rest of the series?

No. As I said, this kink is not my kink. Even if it was, I don’t think I would as the character development just wasn’t enough to have care about any of the characters.

Perfect blend of spice and story

If big age gaps and daddy kinks are not for you then keep scrolling. If they are, then this book is for you. Not only does Ella get two sexy silver foxes to call daddy, but said foxes are he ex’s dad and his best friend.

We get to know each character, with hints of what they’ve been through. You start to feel like you know them and care for them.

The spicy scenes are SPICY and I’m all her for it. I can’t wait to read more about Ella, Daddy King and Daddy Sebastian 🥵🌶😍

This is some hot stuff. I love an age gap and with TWO men?? Yum! Joel, the ex, is a complete asshat and I appreciate how his father recognizes that. Fuck that man child. Sebastian and Kingston are A+. The writing is a little off? Idk how to describe. It feels like it's unpolished. She refers to Sebastian and Kingston as "two hot guys" multiple times and it's just like really? That's the descriptors you have? No matter what, I'm still interested and am planning on reading on! They ARE short and I'm not sure worth the $5 but I'm just saying fuck it.

I wanted to like this, but I just couldn't.

I found the characters to be VERY one-dimensional, to the point where I kept mixing up the two main male characters because their POVs sounded exactly the same. The lead female drove me insane. She would act very skittish and run off whenever something happened, then she would randomly be bold and say something that didn't fit with her character. She would flip between these two extremes and never actually say anything of substance.

I read this book not knowing it was a four book series which is a bummer because it ends on a cliffhanger. I liked the concept of ex-boyfriends dad and his best friend but it didn’t really execute for me! Joel was a major douche throughout the whole book like too much of the book I just wanted her to be with his dad! Spice level is low with only two sex scenes boooo! Not sure if I’ll read any of the others!

LOVE!

This is my first book from Calista Jayne and I am hooked! Was the storyline a little predictable in parts? Yes, but I wouldn’t change a thing. I love the characters…Kingston and Sebastian 🥵🤤😍 I usually avoid books that end with a cliffhanger because I need to know what happens, darn it. 😠 But, I was intrigued by the storyline so I gave in. And, while I’m not happy that I don’t have my happy ever after yet, I’ll suck it up. 🖤
