4.25

I throughly enjoyed this book, only took me two days to finish. However, I could rate it higher because some of the plot lines were too unrealistic for me to connect with. 

There are great moments in the book that made me want to rate it 4.75. It’s not without it’s flaws but it’s still a great story.

Oh, boy. I was not ready for this book. 

I expected the age gap, the Daddy kink, the BDSM... I did not expect a thirty-five year age gap, where he was previously deeply in love with her mother. But even all that, I could cope with. It didn't go completely off the rails until the....accidental pregnancy! There's just something about a 21-year-old woman and her child both calling a 56-year-old man Daddy that gives me the ick. And beyond that, there's the fact that despite Daisy and Ronan's tumultous relationship, nothing ever gets resolved. Why break up in the middle of the book to take time for "personal growth", if no growth happens? They get back together two months later and fall back into the same old Daddy/baby girl routine, except even weirder because now she's pregnant.

What a silly goofy weird book this was.

Obsessed!! Praise will always be my favourite one but this is a very close second. Daisy and Ronan's story hit me in so many ways and I loved seeing them come together. There were so many good hurt/comfort scenes and you know that's my fave. And the sex scenes? Let's just say, they're worth it. I loved how the drama was handled and I was so so happy about the ending!

This book is officially my favorite in the series! Somehow this book manages to deliver on spice and swoony sweetness. I absolutely love Ronan- he is so kind and nurturing he just loves to shower Daisy with affection and to take care of her. I quite easily found myself rooting for Daisy and Ronan despite knowing

her deceased mom had dated him too <\spoiler>. I really enjoyed how much heart this story had, which still being hot. I absolutely recommend everyone to go and read this book!
