I totally enjoyed this anthology of entertaining reads filled with Daddy Doms and their littles. With a great cast of amazing characters, engaging stories, sizzling chemistry and steamy scenes, there is just so much to love about this terrific collection of reads. One of my favorites was Wanting Winona by Maren Smith. I loved Eric and Win. She was such a strong, capable woman that had overcome so much and I really liked that Eric could appreciate every facet of her. His love and care had me swooning. I also particularly enjoyed Educating Ella by Katie Douglas which was actually a middle story. This was something I had not come across before and I found it quite fresh and appealing. That being said, there are no bad stories here, so if you are a fan of heat and kink, this is a book you’ll want to be sure to grab.
This is a fun book to read, not quite Masters of the Castl but enjoyable nonetheless. Each relationship has a different dynamic and that not only makes for interest but also gives insight into the lifestyle. While not my thing I do enjoy reading DD/lg and I particularly liked Winona and Eric’s story. Win had overcome so much and it was nice to see someone taking care of her and allowing her to flourish. Lucky and Gabriel’s story Also spoke to me and the idea of being both a
Little and an adult in the same relationship was intriguing and not one I had read before. All in all, if you are looking for a fun, lighthearted HEA then this book is for you.
Six stories about 6 different women going to the lifestyle resort. I liked all 6 stories, and the characters.
This is a fantastic book. If you love daddies you will love this book. There is a daddy stories for every fantasy. Enjoy
Interesting but did not like them all
I was only familiar with one author in of this compilation book so I was not sure if this would be a hit or miss for me. While I did not like all of the stories or writing I did think the majority were good and I enjoyed them. I will confess that some of the combinations just did not ring as believable for me which made it harder to read.
I cannot say at this time whether I will pick up another Masters of the Castle collection or not but I guess it will depend on who the authors are next time.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
I really enjoyed the whole collection of these stories telling of the journeys these women and their men go through in most cases, starting new relationships and finding their place in the BDSM community at the Castle.
The first story “Wanting Winona” was especially entertaining. This story is the only one that is a fully length novel, it tells where a young woman who is living out of her van doing odd jobs in the building industry. When the Masters of the Castle find that the contractors they hired were doing second rate work and basically taking longer to get the job done and with opening day in two days, there are lots of things that need to be repaired and NOW!! But they have now taken off and wont return to fix up what they messed up.
So Marshall hires a bunch of tradesmen to repair and fix up what the other contractors messed up. Winona can do everything that needs to be done, electrical, building and whatever needs doing. Her Master Carer is Eric is instantly attracted to her and helps her to keep the rules and he recognises that she is Little and helps her to bring it out. Winona gets into a lot of trouble with keeping the rules, but Eric is there to guide her and help her to fulfill her responsibilities in getting the Castle ready for opening day.
The rest of the stories were all shorter in length but in no means lacking in entertainment and heat. There are a lot of emotional barriers that are addressed in these stories and are very well written and will keep the heat going and the joy flowing. If this is the type of book you enjoy, it wont disappoint you in any way, other than there not being enough to read.

Educating Ella by Katie Douglas is the only story I have read.
So that was …. hot and sweet and with a story you can root for!! What more could you ask for of a five chapter read? Honestly, this was good. I don’t know if the rest of the stories in the anthology will be as good so I’m not rating it just yet, but Educating Ella by Katie Douglas gets a solid 4.5 stars from me and the only reason it’s not 5 stars is because the ending fell a bit flat for me. It’s a HFN and I don’t have a problem with that, but but but gah it could have been soooooo much more!! I’m secretly hoping that Katie will publish this story on its own some day and maybe expand on it because Idris and Ella … *swoon*
Review of Educating Ella by Katie Douglas
Ella needs some time away from her real life. Life after divorce and dealing with her mother’s outdated, pretentious views on how she should be living. So a trip to the Castle is in order. There she’ll get some much needed discipline and order restored in her mind. She didn’t expect to meet a proper Brit, Idris, set on forging something meaningful with her. Can Ella allow herself something real when her crazy schedule isn’t really conducive to a healthy relationship?
I liked Educating Ella, but it just missed the mark a little for me. It wasn’t terrible or anything, but it lacked substance and just when I thought Ella and Idris were getting into something with meat, it ended. Probably because this is just a short story meant for an anthology, but it was still too short for me to feel a strong connection between the characters. I did appreciate that Ella is Chinese, and I liked that she stood up to her mother’s ridiculously outdated ideas, and I liked Idris what little I got of him, but all in all, this story is too short for me to have gotten to know them well enough. Hopefully more will be coming for these two. If so, I am interested to see where the author takes them.
3.5/5
The story I am reviewing is Educating Ella by Katie Douglas. It was a novella in the Daddies of the Castle anthology. Ella and Idris were a good couple. Ella went to the Castle to get away for a short time from her troubles that plaguing her life right now. She has a bit of a mischievous side that will cause her to get caned and sent to Idris for personal attention. Since the story is short there is only one sex scene. I was hoping for a little more to see their relationship blossom but right now they get a HFN.

This is a collection of stories about the Castle. Yay!
Wanting Winona by Maren Smith
The castle is not done! Master Marshall calls in contractors to finish up and Winona is one of them. She is a Jane of all trades. Master Daddy Eric is entranced by her and there starts a beautiful relationship. This was a great story!
Undoing Una by Tabitha Black
Loved this story of a workaholic who comes to the Castle to unwind. She normally meets her partner there for D/s games, but he stands her up. She is assigned Master Landon, who is normally a daddy dom, by Master Marshall. Landon does a Little caretaking of her by teaching her ways to relax. There is a HEA and it’s a wonderful story.

This is a Middle adventure. Ella comes to the Castle for relaxation. She likes to play tricks and that gets her canned by Master Collins. He decides that dhd needs individual attention and turns her over to Master Idris. They get along well and they have a HFN.
Addi’s Adventure by Delia Grace
Addi is a Little with a Mommy and a Daddy. She wants to try being a Little in school and her parents want to be the 50’s version. There is some tension, but it’s a cute story of a husband and wife with a Little.
Leading Luciana by Adaline Raine
Wow! Very intense. Lucky plays with Master Gabriel who is a doctor. They have both Daddy/Little girl scenes but also medical play. There isn’t a HEA for this couple, but a HFN.
Izzy’s Indulgence by Lesley Clark
This one is a little different. Max and Isabella are getting married and Isabella is more than a little stressed. Max decides to go to the Castle for the three day weekend and regress Isabella to Izzy. They have their moments, but it is a great time for them both.
Eric and Win will keep you highly entertained in this story. The castle is no where near to opening with the horrible work done by the previous shady contractor. Win is one of the contractors given the job to gob behind and fix the repairs needed to get the castle up to par. Eric realize that not only is Win a submissive she is a little as well that draws out the daddy Dom in him. Her antics will have you empathizing and cheering for her and Eric. This story has BDSM elements but the story is intriguing and draws you into the drama surrounding the characters.

I absolutely love the Castle series books! Obviously there is a lot of steam and BDSM; however, the authors incorporate such depth of character as to make the characters journeys of self discovery almost personal to the reader.
Winona is a nomad construction worker who is saving to get her permanent place. She answers an ad to work on the Castle renovations after the last contractor walked off the job and left a mess. Eric is a Daddy Dom who has found his forever home at the Castle. He meets Win at the security gate and is smitten. He demands to have her work in his area of the renovation. Win breaks the rules and learns how bad little girls get punished. They have some difficult moments as their relationship develops but get their HEA in the end.
