Discovering what matters
Who doesn’t love a hot Scottish alpha? Between the pages of this book, you are going to enjoy n older Scottish guy who falls for that taboo younger woman. They may hit some bumps in the road, but with the surprising help from someone near and dear to their hearts they manage to find their HEA. I enjoyed the way the author portrayed their changing relationship and made it one to last. I look forward to reading more from this author.
I enjoyed the book way more than I thought I would.
By the synapse I didn’t expect a story with a meaningful storyline and characters you were able to dive deeper into. I am impressed with how the author was able to give purposeful and realistic backstories that made sense and worked to support the present the characters lived in.
If you’re unsure, give this book a read. You’ll be so glad you did.
An enjoyable quick fast burn interesting taboo romance story. This hot steamy story has some bad, problems of overcoming their problems of their past and present. A super hot read with incredible chemistry. I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC.
This well-written story of and older man and a younger woman have great characters that are well-fleshed out with real problems to overcome with their relationship.

I was kind of in the middle with this book. Everything just seemed way too predictable. If you like younger woman and older man romances, give it a try.

This was a quick read that had some really steamy scenes. It was enjoyable because of the fantasy aspect of having one of your own Daddy Doms.. This was a well written book and it was very enjoyable. It gives you a different look in a relationship.

I really enjoyed this story. The angst wasn’t huge and at times I wanted to smack both of them to communicate more so that the angst could be cleared up sooner. The resolution of the angst was more than I hoped for so – Yay! You need to read this book, it is AWESOME!
Our heroine is down on her luck and gets rescued by her best friend’s father.
This is a erotic romance story with a bit of the taboo in the friend’s father thing. There are also some mild elements of D/S and spankings.
The story is well written and easy to follow, with a decent backstory. The characters are good as well, but a little flat. I like the hero who is big on honesty, which of course our heroine violates almost immediately. *Sigh* We are treated to multiple steamy scenes which add a little excitement as well. Overall, I enjoyed the book, but it was not my favorite by this author.
Recommended.

I enjoyed this book. Offering a good blend of heat and heart, this older man/younger woman romance was I thought, a good read. The book has a strong story line that is backed by powerful emotions. The attraction and chemistry between characters was easy to feel and had me rooting for the couple. Of course there is a good dose of drama, tension and emotional turmoil in this forbidden romance. I liked this book and look forward to more books in this series but unfortunately the pet peeve that I had with the first book in this series is still an issue for me. Yes, the book features spanking scenes but no I do not think that the word “Smack” must be used over and over, time and again. I personally found it to be incredibly annoying.
Love the characters, Marcie and Declan. I like how he rescues her, but has his own issues to muddle thru as well. Nice ending!!
this was a really nice book to read. he was different than expected … with more drama and emotions. all in all it is absolutely correct. the chemistry is good and the sexy scenes .. wow. from me therefore 5 stars.

Do you like hot sexy Scottish men? This book is the one for you!
Madie is down on her luck, on her way to an interview and her car breaks down. Along come someone she hasn’t seen in years, Declan Mackenzie… the hot and sexy father of Madie’s best friend.
I love the chemistry between the two. I enjoyed how Declan resisted the attraction to Madie, but in the end surrenders to the passion. The story line is fantastic! I was drawn in from the very get go. There’s plenty of action, mystery and heartbreak. The backstory is so real that I felt their pain. Kelli did a fantastic job with the 2nd book of the Once Upon a Daddy series! I can’t wait to read what else she brings!

Madie is down and really struggling to keep things going. Declan, her best friend’s father, finds her on a bench broken, hurt and in need of help. Their relationship develops beyond just helping her in a rough time in her life. But is the age difference a problem? Is her past a problem? What will his daughter Anna think of their situation? The characters bring substance, depth, and complexity to the storyline. The ups and downs along with the developing story keep you on the edge of your seat, while the hot developing romance makes you hold your breath. Great story, with wonderful characters. Just an amazing read.

In this book we meet Madie and Declan Mackenzie. Madie is back home from college due to an incident that had her needing to leave. Her parents want nothing to do with her the company she worked for recently downsized her and now the job she was trying for she can’t get to. So walking back home after her car breaks down she breaks her heal hurts her knee and ends up seeing a man she has had a crush on for years. Oh ya and her luck doesn’t look up at this point since he electricity is shut off and he knows why. Declan has been alone for awhile now. Though part of him is glad about it the other is just wishing he could find someone that made him smile again. Seeing his daughter’s best friend isn’t what he thought would happen that day. Somehow though their time together for the first time in longer than he can remember makes him laugh again. Can these two find a HEA or will the past ruin the future they could have?
This is another amazing hit by this author. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don’t want to ruin it for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
A heartwarming read that will gladden the heart.

Madie was a young woman who had made a big mistake and now was paying for it. Abandoned by her parents and without a job, she had finally hit rock bottom. It was then that a chance meeting with her best friend’s father came along. Declan was a man she had obsessed over growing up and when he offered her a job and help to get back on her feet she took it. Their relationship had always been friendly and while working together they soon became friends as well. Declan was divorced from his wife and free to find love again. He never thought it would happen with a beautiful girl like Madie. That she returned his love was the best thing to happen to him in years. However the truth is uncovered he ended the relationship and it was a decision that devastated them both. It took a loving daughter to bring them both together once more. I loved this story, Declan was a man who had survived a bad marriage built on lies. Madie was a woman crying out for love and affection and it gladdened my heart to read that they a found in each other the love that they had longed for so long. A heartwarming read that will gladden the heart.

Sexy, wonderful story!
This is a wonderful story with perfectly flawed down to earth characters. Madie left college after an incident that she is truly not proud of and she hasn’t told anyone the complete truth of the situation either. She is struggling to keep her head above water since her parents disowned her and she’s looking for a job. To add insult to injury her car just broke down and she injured her knee after her best pair of heels broke. Enter Declan, who just happens to be her best friend’s dad. He ends up helping her and things develop rather quickly between these two. But since Madie hasn’t been completely honest and Declan is a stickler for honesty can their relationship truly last? Grab this fabulous book today and find out. Great read and I highly recommend it!
