For Her Own Good by Tamsen Parker
5.0
I’ll treat her as fragile not because she is, but because life has already tried to shatter her on the floor one too many times, and wouldn’t it be nice if someone cradled her for once?
For Her Own Good was phenomenal! I kind of went in expecting the classic Daddy/little girl read, and what I got was an incredible representation of depression, kink relationships, and a healthy mixture of the two.
Starla has suffered from extreme depression since she was young, but after finding a treatment that works for her, she has managed to create a great business and have a life that she's proud of living. She has all the respect in my eyes for not only that, but the continuous work she does seeing a team of doctors about her mental health and keeping her depression in check. This take on mental health was executed extremely well in my opinion. I related to Starla so freakin hard during my reading experience, and I admire her.
Set me aflame, Star, until I’m mere ashes. I’d be grateful and proud to be the conflagration you warmed your body upon.
Starla was Lowry's patient when she was a teen but then he made the decision to up and leave at a time when she needed him most. 15 years later, he's back and he wants Starla in any way she will let him. What happens next is so unbelievably sexy, kinky, and just lovely.
I’ll go slow at first, work my thick hard cock inside that tight cunt of yours, and when you’re ready, I’m going to fuck you, Star. Drive into you until you cry out my name. Until your legs are splayed wide open and you’re getting hammered. I’m going to absolutely pound you until you’re wrecked. That’s what I’m going to do and you’re going to love it, aren’t you, my horny little girl?”
Starla admits to Lowry, a man 18 years older than her, that if they are going to try having a sexual relationship she wants to call him Daddy. I found this side of their relationship to be very positive and healing. They have many discussions about what they like, what they don't like, what they are willing to try, and Lowry even gets a session with Starla's Domme to see and learn the full scope of what both of their roles would be like, and he does it without the toxic masculinity which made me fall in love with him all over again. Lowry makes one hell of a Daddy, and sweet lord can that man dirty talk! He continually checks in with Starla (mentally and emotionally) in and out of scenes, and the level of communication these two have is just as sexy as the actual sex!
This was my first book by Tamsen Parker, and it won't be my last!
