3 stories of littles and their Daddy Doms. Liked all 3 and the storylines and characters keep you drawn into their world.
This collection of stories by Allison West about an academy that allows adult women to regress back to their childhood days of no cares, worries, and someone always taking care of them, was a very entertaining and also erotic read. Warning note, the reader must have or want a good understanding of the little world and lifestyle in order to fully enjoy this book. The characters were of course all based back in the Victorian era and so the setting, speech and actions need to be understood in that manner. Saying all that, it was easy for your heart to get caught up in each of the stories as the characters encountered their emotional and sometimes physical struggles in the world. And, for that, it was a good book to read. This is a voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Blushing Books via Booksprout.

What a wonderful box set! This is my first time reading this author and she doesn’t disappoint with these fantastically written stories. The box set includes 3 individual stories where a little is taken to the Academy by their daddy to learn how to be their little. Some scenes may not be to everyone’s taste and may include a few triggers for some perspective readers. The author has done a brilliant job with character development in each of these stories. I’ll be looking out for more from this author in the future.

I loved this collection of stories about littles. This is my first time for this author and I will be looking for more. In this collection you have three women who are looking to be submissive to their papas. These stories are full of romance, passion and learning to obey. These are great characters that pop off the pages. They are connectable and made the story feel as if you are right there with them. I highly recommend reading this boxset, it will warm up your night.
Entire Trilogy
A collection of the entire trilogy under one cover makes it easier on my nerves. I lose patience waiting for the next book to come out so I can find out what happens next.
Having said that though this collection is not my cup of tea. It is not a niche that I cater to or interests me.
Just because I am not in this niche do not mean I do not love the way the author weaves everything together. Her descriptions are fabulous, I enjoyed the female characters, and they were easy to like.
I had a problem likely the men though. They seemed quite obnoxious to me, and a be perverse. As I continued reading, I found myself liking them the more I read.
One of the three women who enter the school was fifteen when her mother died. After that, it fell on her to take care of her dad until he died. Then she stayed with her estranged uncle who did not want her. He arranged for her to attend the Academy of Littles. It was supposed to be good for her since she never really had a childhood.

I thought this was a sweet read –
Not sure where the dark comes in?
Maybe Nanny Grumpy-pants? I admit if some of them were my nanny I would have made a run for it too.
Little Etta may be my favorite though the troublesome reporter had my hackles up wanting to protect the little’s.
This is a daddy/little set of stories – Well written with respect to the needs of the characters.
Each is a complete story though they do bleed a bit into each other.
The setting is the Victorian era
I enjoyed the way the stories were written and do wish they had been a bit longer.
I found it easy to connect with the cast and get lost in their stories.
Overall a great collection.
This does deal with age play and domestic discipline so if that is not your cup of tea …

1. ENROLLING LITTLE ETTA
“Philip Hartley owns an elite finishing school; a hidden gem that focuses on the sexual submission and complete discipline of young ladies. Behavior, expectations, and beliefs are quite different there. It’s a finishing school to help a woman find that inner little girl which once was lost. A private school that requires its pupils to surrender their bodies, their minds, and their souls to their betrothed. When Henrietta Waters’ estranged uncle decides it is best for her to attend the Ashby Chateau and become betrothed to a proper husband, the young woman has no choice but to comply. The recent death of her father has left her with very little options. But can Etta fully surrender in ways she has never imagined? Can she allow a nanny to take care of her every need? Can she submit to discipline and sexual training as the purity of her inner child blends with the fire of her sexual desires? And is it possible for her to truly become the little love that Headmaster Philip Hartley demands?”
2. THE NANNY
“The taboo. The secret. The discipline. The nanny. Finally, her story. When street urchin Georgiana Hayes meets a mysterious gentleman who offers her a warm meal and a chance to get warm again, she cannot resist. The man who has rescued her from the cold is, in fact, Mr. Philip Hartley; headmaster of the Ashby Chateau – a finishing school, and a place where young ladies can learn to submit and rediscover their inner ‘little’ selves. He is looking for a new nanny and is quick to offer the position to Georgiana. Georgiana accepts gratefully, and she instantly becomes The Nanny. Unfortunately, she soon realizes that she is not really cut out for the role of disciplinarian. If anything, she finds herself beginning to envy the girls under her care, and wishes that she, too, could experience what it would be like to be little; to be cherished, cared for, and loved. Theodore Elliott, a well-established businessman, is seeking a wife and has craved the special love and affection of a ‘little’ for as long as he can remember. The moment he sets eyes on Nanny Giana, he knows without a doubt that she is the one he has been searching for. No other little at the school can compare to the dark-haired beauty. Can Theo convince the headmaster to allow Giana to resign from her position as governess and enroll in the Ashby Chateau as a little? More importantly, is Giana willing to take that step for a man she barely knows but is intrigued by? Can she surrender herself physically, emotionally, and sexually in order to become what Theo desires above all else: his little Gia?”
3. LITTLE SECRETS
“Philip Hartley runs an elite finishing school, Ashby Chateau, which turns young women into perfectly submissive little ones. He has been zealous about discretion, ensuring that only those worthy and with a recommendation have the chance to become part of this world. When Charley Lockwood, a journalist for the local newspaper, begins snooping around the chateau, he catches a glimpse of a young woman in a dress far too scandalous to be legal. Curiosity and arousal strike him like an arrow, making him desperately keen to know more about the girl in the yellow dress. Eliza Stead was brought to the Ashby Chateau by her betrothed, who wanted to teach her to submit and become his little wife. However, his visits to her grow ever more infrequent, and she suspects his interest in her is waning; a fact which is soon confirmed. Due to her desire to continue her education rather than be forced to return home unwed, she must find a papa who loves her and is willing to pay her tuition and marry her. Will Charley’s desire for the truth ruin Little Eliza’s life at the Ashby? Can Charley accept the world he has stepped into without destroying it? And can they both find love in a world of little secrets?”
This is the first book by Allison West I’ve read and am quite intrigued by the genre and can also be found in the “Academy of Littles Collection”. Even though it’s not my kink, there’s something about the Daddy/little relationship that has an allure and appeal. Each of these stories is centered around the Ashby Chateau Finishing School run by its owner and Headmaster, Philip Hartley. Each brought their own set of turmoil, angst, drama, chemistry, and eventually their happily ever after. The storylines flow evenly within a world that is both engrossing and empowering. Each of her characters has such vivid personalities and traits they are easily relatable. I couldn’t put this one down until I finished each story.
This is a great selection of three Victorian women who marry men who wan’t them to be their “Little Girl.” Each girl has her own challenges that they have to over come. Each story has a HEA with a papa and his little to love and cherish. If you like little’s you will love the Victorian aspect of these stories. These stories are not very long but the story moves at a good pace. I love the Victorian Little’s better because Victorian England was so stuffy. : ) I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Ashby Chateau is a finishing school that has two sides. One side of the school is to polish the attending girls for British Society where these women become the ‘perfect’ wife. The second side is a little darker in that these girls are trained more for a more submissive role for a dominant older man that is interested in playing a ‘daddy’ type role. This collection contains three stories that focus on different girls, their experience at Ashby Chateau and of course, the daddy that they find to take care of them. These are shorter length stories are an entertaining read that can be easily fit into your day for a ‘little’ down time. Enjoy!

This is a collection of 3 stories about Ashby Academy which is a school for Littles. Each student is there to learn about submission with the ultimate goal of being matched with a papa. Each story can be read as a standalone but as a series it is especially great I loved them all.
They explore the age play dynamic and each has it’s fair share of sweetness, sassyness and domestic discipline and all with great story lines and lovable characters.
I would highly recommend this book.

Ashby Chateau is the setting for all three stories in this collection. The Chateau has two schools housed together but separate from each other. One is a finishing school for young ladies and the second is a school for littles. Each of these books deals with a little and her Papa. The first book pertains to Phillip (the headmaster) and his and Little Etta. The second deals with s new nanny Gia who becomes a little for Theo. The third book is about Eliza and her papa Charley. Each book is their own individual story and the trials that can be encountered by a little. If you are interested in the little’s lifestyle you will enjoy this collection of stories.
Ashby is a finishing school. Well, at least part of it is. The other part is a school for grownup little girls. Three complete “little” stories. The first story is about the headmaster and the student who catches his eye and his heart. The second is about a little who is abandoned by her Papa without notice. The last little is a school nanny who gets the chance to have her own Papa who will love, discipline and shelter her and jumps at it. If you like grownup little girls and Papa’s and nanny’s and spanking discipline with some anal in the mix, you will love these stories.
