Character Chemistry: They’re both immediately physically attracted, but it takes a while for everything else to sort itself out
Plot: Sulky, directionless new adult ends up figuring out his direction while apprenticing with his dad’s best friend
Overall: If I’m honest, I was only looking for something to study daddy kink romance, so my expectations were not high, but I really enjoyed this book
Heat Factor: I’d imagine it’s everything you’d expect in a sexy version of “virgin learning how to sex” story
Character Chemistry: Woo, boy, do these two want to jump each other’s bones
Plot: Sheltered mid-20-something wants to experience all the sex and romance that her family wouldn’t allow now that she’s independent, but the only man who does it for her is her standoffish silver fox neighbor
Overall: This just scrapes the surface of daddy kink
Erin made us buddy read Your Dad Will Do because she likes to make Ingrid uncomfortable. Which means it’s that time again: time for a dueling review!
A Touch of Taboo, Book 1
Heat Factor: It’s … imaginative
Character Chemistry: Indisputably they have sexual chemistry
Plot: She found her fiance cheating, so she gets back at him by making a move on his dad
Overall: Well it’s definitely hot, but the interpersonal dynamics are…concerning
Heat Factor: Yup, it’s sexy. And they like being watched, so the reader-voyeur is helping make it sexier.
Character Chemistry: I am so glad that they each found another person who shares their kinks!
Plot: Revenge sex turns to love
Overall: If you like Daddy Kink and Sexy Sex, read this book! It’s well written. If you don’t like those things, then don’t read this book, because the entire plot is sexy sex.
Heat Factor: I mean, it’s pretty much entirely written to BE hot from start to finish
Character Chemistry: They definitely seem like peanut butter and jelly in the bedroom
Plot: She starts out seeking a revenge hookup with her ex-fiance’s dad and ends up in a whole thing
Overall: If you like daddy/kinky/revenge sex this is probably right up your alley.
Magic in Manhattan, Book 1
Heat Factor: It’s absolutely fade-to-black, but also Arthur has a whole stern daddy thing going on, which, as we know, I am here for
Character Chemistry: I texted on the group chat: “This Allie Therin paternalistic hero is really doing it for me”
Plot: Young man with magic underestimates/fears his powers until forced to confront his abilities when swirled into magical intrigue by slightly older man
Overall: This book was so marvelous in so many ways that the only downside is that it’s not a standalone.
Dream Team, Book 2
Heat Factor: If you had asked me earlier, I would not have said that being collared is sexy. But I am totally buying what Ashley is selling here.
Character Chemistry: Well, I wanted them together in book 1, so…yeah, they’ve got chemistry
Plot: “I want to be with you.” “Never gonna happen.” “You know what? Fine.” … “Actually, not fine, you just got kidnapped and dragged into a dangerous situation with an ever-increasing body count, and I am not okay with that.”
Overall: Ermagherd, worth the wait!
