Barbi Cox’s Reviews > Claimed by Daddy's 4 Dirty Friends > Status Update

I have read the previous 3 books in this series and gave each a 5; rating, and #4 would deserve that, too, for the story and the characters. It's an absorbing saga of the boss;s daughter becoming involved with her father's four best friends, who are also executives of his company and all former military brothers. Oh, and I should also add, age gap hunks. The 1/2-star deduction is due to an issue I had with irrelevant redundancy, which I have related to the author.

The men latch onto Sophia almost immediately upon her being given the title of Office Manager, her having recently graduated from Brown University with a Business degree. They all pitch in to teach her all aspects of the company.....and much, much more "non-company business." Sophia is initially concerned over the excessive attention paid her by Roman, Gunner, Nick and Holden, but in little time she finds them each, and all, entrenching themselves into her heart.

While the men, including Miles (Sophia's father), have played this game before, it's different with Sophia because she's different than their previous conquests. She's not only smart, but strong, caring and always concerned about others, not herself. They respect her and care about her in ways far more serious than merely a willing and eager lover. Of course they keep Miles in the dark about their fondness for Sophie until it finally comes out at the end of episode 3. This is also where Diana, Miles' ex-wife and Sophie's mother, returns to care for Miles after his stress-induced collapse while the rest of the bunch is in Italy for a wedding of one of Roman's cousins.

Following many bumps along the road, Sophia confesses her love for each and all the men, and while most won't admit it out loud, the sentiments are mutual, and here's where the story goes off the rails. In typical sexist fashion, men may have multiple wives in certain religious sects, women are not legally or otherwise allowed multiple husbands. Oh, what to do? What to do?

Hopefully, all will be resolved in Episode 5. Can't wait!
