Daddies of the Castle: A Masters of the Castle Anthology

This Anthology includes:
1. WANTING WINONA by MAREN SMITH
OMG! Since this is my first trip to The Castle, the introduction to me was almost as chaotic as the first chapter … hahaha. I was trying to keep track of who was who and what their jobs were but as I read further along, it became apparent to me that Maren Smith, in her usual style, had laid things out so well I didn’t have to keep track. It just flowed like a movie in my head and I was thoroughly introduced to the players in a family style way. The chemistry between Winona and Eric was just absolutely relatable with her wide-eyed wonder and his reluctance to admit his deeper feelings. It was sexy, beautiful, and heart-melting. At the same time, since this is my introduction to The Castle, there was a bit of mystery that seemed to be playing out which had me intrigued. I know I’m going to have to backtrack and read “Masters of the Castle” now that my interest and curiosity have been peaked. What a great introduction to this Anthology!

2. UNDOING UNA by TABITHA BLACK
Nyla was a senior accountant with all the tendencies of a work-acholic. She had previously booked time at The Castle every few months just to take a break so she didn’t burn herself out. Her play partner was one she had met on-line and, although they weren’t really compatible personally, they had a fantastic chemistry when it came to their kink. That was until he pulled a no-call no-show for their return to The Castle this time. That left her and her masochistic needs abandoned when she needed it most. Enter Landon. A former fire fighter who had a knee injury that would not allow him on the force. He’s Sam’s brother, The Castle’s resident sadist with a formidable reputation. He’s also a Daddy Dom with sadistic tendencies of his own. When Marshall appoints him as Nyla’s partner for the week will either of them enjoy their time together? This was such an outstanding story that brought forth all the emotions of abandonment, control, trust, and acknowledging their inner self.

3. EDUCATING ELLA by KATIE DOUGLAS ***** Oct 29, 2019
Mary, aka Ella, was of Chinese descent, with parents who had lived and staunchly enforced their Chinese values from thirty or so years ago. She had recently gone through a divorce and was a war journalist for a paper in NYC. She’s gone through numerous changes since the last time she’s been to The Castle, and she desperately needs to decompress. This was such a delightful read about a Dom and a little in a school setting. I always enjoy Katie Douglas’ books so it didn’t surprise me that I was over the moon for this one. A wonderful happy for now ending.

4. RESTORING RYLEE by PEPPER NORTH
What a beautiful, heart-felt, magical, erotic, fate induced storyline. And those adjectives are just a few I could use to describe this story. Although the depth of this kink is not mine, it was presented in such a way that it was probably one of the most beautiful narratives I’ve read. I’m gushing over Dallas and Rylee but when you read this one, you’ll understand why.

5. ADDIE’S ADVENTURES by DELIA GRACE
Addie, aka Penny Lane, was a full-time little to a married couple. Going to The Castle was to be a “family” vacation that had been planned for some time. They were going to be the quintessential 50’s style family. Addie’s fantasy on this vacation was to include being enrolled in the school program as a pre-teen. Will this turn out the way they were hoping or is this going to be a total disappointment? Delia Grace is a new author for me and what a delight the story turned out to be. I’ll definitely be watching for more of her stories.

6. IZZY’S INDULGENCY by LESLEY CLARK
I’m not sure where to begin with Izzy’s story. When she becomes so stressed over working a full-time job plus making and planning the wedding, Izzy just had a huge melt-down. When that happened, Max didn’t know how they got to where they were, but realized he hadn’t been paying close enough attention to her. That’s when he called his friend Marshall at The Castle to see if they had room for the following week-end. When the answer was yes, Max had the surprise all setup but is what he has planned to put them back on track going to work or is it going to cause more problems than what are brewing now? I loved the logic but not real sure I could accommodate the request. Well, maybe. You’ll have to read it and decide for yourself.

7. DARING DAISY by ALLYSA HART and RAYANNA JAMISON
Such a relatable story with all the feels and emotions that go with that! Daisy had met Rett, aka Everette, online. They’ve been talking back and forth for nearly a year now and had been honest about a lot of things, including Daisy’s inclination to never turn down a dare. That’s how Rett was able to get her to meet him for the first time at The Castle. But Daisy has a secret she’s been keeping. Her medication has added weight and she no longer has the slim figure she had in the picture. Will Rett still want her once he meets her? Will she be able to fully let go and enjoy the few days they have together without feeling self-conscience about the added weight? You don’t want to miss this one for sure.

8. LEADING LUCIANA by ADALINE RAINE
This story just resonated with me. Luciana, aka Lucky, had “Little” tendencies but she also had adult kinks. She had been told over and over the two did not coincide, so she probably just wasn’t a true little. She’d gotten herself worked up and by the time she arrived at The Castle was dizzy, light-headed and had to go to the medical ward to make sure she was alright. Doctor Gabriel, on staff at The Castle, was the one asked to check on her. Between the chemistry between these two relatable characters and the eye-opening revelations surrounding the personalization of kinks, Adaline Raine has brought a wonderful happy for now story to light. What a remarkable lesson learned.

This is my first trip to The Castle so you can imagine how pleased I was to be introduced. My review is on Katie Douglas’ book “Educating Ella” and as I read more of them, I will certainly update as I go along. Katie is one of my one-click authors so I know I’ll enjoy what she writes. This one was a titallating experience for me. I felt like I was the new student at school keeping my eyes peeled for everything new and exciting and I wasn’t disappointed. If this is the caliber of what’s being offered in this anthology, I can hardly wait for more.

There are two books in my pre-ordered edition that seem to no longer be in the anthology. These are Wanting Winona and Daring Daisy. I’m leaving them in my review in case they reappear.

Educating Ella by Katie Douglas – 4.25 stars
This is less Daddy Dom, more school master/school girl, and one incredibly hot read to boot. The author managed to incorporate a fantastic mix of story, emotion, character development and kinky play. The two main characters, ‘Ella’ and ‘Idris’, really drew me into the story and I soon found myself rooting for them to forge a deeper connection.
I loved how the author meshed Ella’s strong personality from her everyday life with her submissive side. Both elements were cleverly portrayed and she was both a likeable and very believable character.
Whilst Idris was definitely a dominant character, he didn’t feel overwhelmingly alpha with it. In fact he was more like the nurturing and guiding school master he ‘played’ at the castle, which I found very refreshing and was totally on board with.
I have the book on pre-order and will review the remaining stories when I get chance to read them, but would recommend the book just based on this story alone.

Undoing Una by Tabitha Black – 4 stars
How this managed to be both incredibly hot and sexy yet have a heartwarming sweetness too, I will never understand. The story is absolutely wonderful with a fairly low key DD/lg element that built naturally through the story.
Landon is a fantastic Daddy dom, gently introducing Nayla to aspects of the play without making a big deal of it and whilst maintaining total consent. I particularly loved how it was Nayla who pulled up her big girl pants and went all out to get the guy, showing that little girl subs are still strong women.

Restoring Rylee by Pepper North – 4.5 stars
Well despite not being a huge fan of either instalove or “very little” age play, I have to say I AM a big fan of this story. I totally loved both Rylee and Dallas, Pepper North utterly captured my heart with this pair and she very readily convinced me of the depth of their connection. The story just flowed from the page, drawing me into it’s current and carrying me along to the very end. I definitely need to read more work by this author.

Addi’s Adventure by Delia Grace – 4 stars
I loved that this was a peak into an established dynamic, rather than a ‘falling in love quickly’ story. Whilst I’ve enjoyed all the books in this anthology, it was nice to have a story with a different feel and focus. Addi is very much a little, living with her Daddy and Mummy, and the story focuses on her mind set, desires and experiences.
There are some hot scenes but for me this story drew me in with its excellent writing and its portrayal of the kink. It felt almost like a learning experience, beautifully wrapped in a great story and is a wonderful addition to the anthology.

Leading Luciana by Adaline Raine – 3.75 stars
Two things that really stood out for me in this story were its excellent message on the individuality of kink, and the HFN/hopeful ending. The story is set over a weekend, so I loved the realism of Lucky and her Daddy Gabriel enjoying their time together with the hope of meeting up in future.

Izzy’s Indulgence by Lesley Clark – 4 stars
A wonderful story to complete the anthology. Isabella and Max are already a couple, busy with their lives and planning a wedding. Max realised he and Izzy need to reconnect, and what better place for a Dom and his sub to do that than the Castle?
At one point I suspected Max was one of those overbearing alpha males who rode roughshod over the heroines preferences/desires because “he knew best”. However he acknowledge not only deliberately pushing her boundaries in a way he knew she wouldn’t enjoy, but his reasoning for doing so did feel valid. Izzy is normally a ‘teen’ in her age play, but Max helped her let go by pushing her into a much younger mind set, whilst still honouring her hard limits. It’s a great story, quite gentle but also pretty steamy at the same time.

(((((Wanting Winona by Maren Smith – All the stars
Oh my word this is a full length story and what a story it is. I LOVED Daddy Eric and Little Win, their relationship just felt so completely and utterly real. In many ways this is a very slow burn story, there isn’t an actual sex scene, no play and a couple of punishments.

And I didn’t miss it one bit because this book was all about the mind, the emotions, the thoughts and feelings of Win discovering her Little side. Maren Smith has outdone herself with Wanting Winona, it is one AMAZING read, I wouldn’t change a single thing about it, can’t find fault with it. Let me warn you though, you may need a stuffie and a box of tissues for that epilogue – OMG I’m still blubbering now. The most perfectly perfect of endings.

Daring Daisy by Rayanna Jamison & Alyssa Hart – 4.25 stars
This was a great read. Daisy felt so very real, her struggles with submission and her emotional battles were honestly and realistically portrayed. I didn’t feel quite such a connection with Rett, though he is one warm, caring and respectful Daddy Dom. I found him incredibly likeable and the perfect foil to Daisy’s character.
Despite there being very little ‘sexual’ content, and not a huge amount of play, this was still a hot and full of feels read. It totally engaged me, holding my attention throughout and is a great addition to the anthology.)))))

A tantalizing collection of Daddy Doms and their baby girls. Who wouldn’t want an all expense paid vacation to a castle with a hot Dom included? The six women in these stories sure do. I enjoyed reading this anthology and recommend it to those who like sexy times and castles.

I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am leaving a review.

A brilliant collection of short stories so perfect for relaxing whether you have about an hour or more as you can read these one story at a time or do as I did and sit there whilst I read them all cover to cover. Each story is very well written and a delight to read.

Lesley Clark – Izzy’s Indulgence – When Isabella feels neglected doing all their wedding planning, Max plans to spend a weekend at the Castle to prove he can take care of his little Izzy. Izzy struggles with her little side, but Max works her into it, such that they thoroughly enjoy their getaway weekend!

It’s been a while since I’ve read a new Masters of the Castle story so this compilation provided a welcome return. After the prologue, which sets up the parameters, each story can be read pretty much standalone. Whoever selected the authors to contribute to this edition did a great job, because while I’ve read & enjoyed some of them, some of the authors were new to me. This made it a nice, easy way to find new authors. Loved this book & it was a welcome return to the Castle.

This is an amazing collection! Some were by my favorite authors but I found a few more that I wanted to start reading more of. I loved all the stories. Each story was hot and steamy. Educating Ella and Wanting Winona were two of my favorite stories. These were awesome Daddy and Little stories. I didn’t want to put it down once I started reading.

The Castle is finally opening back up after a year of repairs well almost. The contractor has left before finishing the job. There are a lot of problems that they need to fix but can’t wait. In Wanting Winona, Daddy Eric and Winona work though some construction repairs in the Littles area during the reopening. They also discover a connection. Winona is here as part of the group of contractors hired to get the place ready. She has always been a nomad going from job to job. She longs to settle down. Will Daddy Eric help her realize her dreams?

In Educating Ella, Ella and Idris meet at the Castle when he takes over her discipline after an incident. They connect while they are in the Castle bubble. He keeps her in line as she needs it. This is the time where Ella can leave her adult worries behind and let her Little out. Will they continue after the weekend is over?

Fantastic story! Characters that will steal your heart. A storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat and glued to your kindle! For me it was a love- hate deal as the characters face their demons. You will feel their emotions and struggles. A definite must read.
