My first Jessa Kane Novella & i really liked it. HOWEVER the epilogue… more specifically the last sex scene personally made me uncomfortable.
Without the epilogue this was a solid 4 star Jessa Kane novella.

• Daddy Kink
This was my very first book that was a little darker and spicier than my usual reads. This was incredibly short with it being only 44 pages, I binged it on an hour. Originally, I was enjoying it, until I discovered it was a 19 year old female and a 40 year old male. The stalking and obsession was actually enjoyable to read about. I loved how Clarke worshipped Emery in every single way. I mean he even made a university for her! The only reason this is deducted stars is because of the ridiculous age gap and the epilogue. The roleplaying was not it for me. Overall, I felt pretty divided and would have rated this higher if the age gap was not so severe. I definitely would be willing to try another Jessa book again at some point.

A Daddy/Little Extravaganza in a Tiny Package...
Holy role play rapture my lovely romance readers! For those who embrace the Daddy fetish, my-o-my is this book for you as, “An Innocent Obsession” by Jessa Kane is a tiny sized literary power player that packs a gigantic obsession filled, Daddy/Little punch!
Here Kane presents the story of Ember and Clarke, Ember being a nineteen year old girl desperate to make something of herself in a world that leaves her all alone with no one but a kind orphanage mistress to look out for her. A girl carelessly tossed aside at a time she needed parental guidance and support the most. A need that has Ember craving care and support and leads her to superimpose her father fantasies onto the powerful Clarke Carroway. And the man himself Clarke, the high powered corporate CEO revolutionizing his given field and effortlessly ruling over his business domain with a methodical authority that feeds Ember’s fledgling infatuation with him into a full blown obsession that grows and grows over the years until it reaches an unimaginable boiling point. But not all is as it appears as Clarke is a man who despite his success, longs for something he doesn’t fully understand, a feeling of something just outside his reach that he can sense but cannot fully grasp or comprehend and when the truth of why he feels this phantom presence in his life fully comes to light, life as they both know it will never be the same.
It is a wonderfully written story that will captivate you from start to finish. And while Daddy play is not my personal kink, I definitely appreciate it and enjoy it fully from a voyeur’s perspective, because holy cow is there a lot of scrumptious, sexy detail to observe here.
My only real gripe with this book, it really should be longer and more fully fleshed out. There are so many aspects of Ember and Clarke’s connection that need expanding. I would have loved more detail about Clarke discovering his Daddy side. I would have loved to have seen more at the end, another epilogue at least showcasing things down the line beyond the very brief glimpse we are provided. Especially where a few of the ending chapter scenes in the orphanage and Clarke’s home are concerned, because as written you are thrust into these two situations without full context from all the characters involved resulting in you getting an uncomfortable feeling in your stomach, a few tiny moments of non-consent icky tinges where you can’t help but think to yourself, “this would not have happened this way, it would have brought police to their door…”. And while I understood the emotional point of these two scenes and their importance to the finalization of the story arc where Ember and Clarke are concerned, it was more over the top than perhaps it really should have been. The emotions the author is attempting to relay here requiring more context so that the scenes would have been better understood and been smoother and less sexual harass-esque overall. Sometimes a few extra paragraphs, even sentences really do mean the difference between sexy and awkwardly inappropriate. Still a great story though, one I thoroughly enjoyed.
