Jackson and Lydia have known each other for years. This story is more of an age difference though because Lydia’s father was employed by Jackson and he felt a responsibility to her. Lydia is a very independent woman and has rebellious ways. Theses traits makes Lydia so much fun to follow. Jackson takes her under his wing, and once her rebellious ways gets her into too much trouble, Jackson must put her in her place. But when the ranch is in jeopardy, will Lydia be able to help Jackson save it? This book has a little bit of everything and is a must read.
Matthew Keyes has that perfect cowboy voice. I enjoyed his narration of Jackson. Mr. Keyes makes Jackson the older, cowboy, strong Daddy that he was written to be. Mr. Keyes has a smooth female voice that is not forced and easy to follow. I enjoyed this narration.
I have read several books by this author and have enjoyed them all. However, this book is my least favorite. I will continue to read this author.
Meh. Lydia and Jackson’s story is ok – I don’t know all the nuances of daddy kink, but this came off more as D/s than daddy and little girl. I did appreciate that Lydia did show a good character arc, even in the short amount of time allotted in the story. I also appreciated that she did not buck against the dominance that Jackson showed, but recognized it as something that she wanted. I have no real qualms with the story, I just didn’t feel the emotional attachment to the characters that I need to thoroughly enjoy and be invested in the story. 3 out of 5 wine glasses
JacksonLydia! A Great Story & Audible Listen
Daddy Takes Charge
By: Amelia Smarts
Narrated by: Matthew Keyes
This is an enjoyable and entertaining story, it is well written and well told. This is a novella sized book but the author, Amelia Smarts fit a lot of story in to it. The original storylines are interesting and engrossing. There is a perfect balance of drama and romance, as well as sweetness and naughtiness. There is great character development too. Jackson Kane runs his family ranch, he always looked out for Lydia, even when she acted out to get his attention. One day Jackson gave her just what she deserved, a spanking, and she liked it. This is the beginning of their d/s relationship and Jackson falls into the role of Daddy Dom to her. I loved the chemistry between the two and how protective he was of her. I also loved how smart she was and how he recognized that. Amelia Smarts thank you for the great story.
I listened to the Audible edition, Matthew Keyes is a terrific narrator and voice performer. He brings the characters to life, gives each their own voice and personality. He brought a lot to the story, his Jackson was strong, domineering but still had a lot of heart and his Lydia was sassy and smart. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen
Sassy and bratty meets a firm hand!
Desperately trying to gain the attention of the man she desires, gets her more than she bargained for, but everything she needs. A daddy to look after and he geta his desires satisfied, hot and sexy!
This story is really sweet. Jackson and Lydia are wonderful characters. I just love his Daddy side. They go on a fantastic journey together. The writing and flow of this book is done well. I absolutely recommend this book.
Lydia has lived on Jackson’s ranch since she was a child but after both
her parents died, Jackson kept her on and gave her odd jobs to earn her
keep and keep her in his sights. One problem is that Lydia is feeling like
no one cares about her and is bratting with each chore she is given. Jackson
has finally reached his limits with her and takes charge of her behavior by
starting off with a corrective spanking, the start of his existing secret lust
for being her daddy and guiding her to be a better person and giving her
the attention she craves and giving him access to the beauty she has become.
There is one important event that Jackson won’t reveal that keeps Lydia from
being the woman she wants to be for Jackson. Their attraction and inevitable
sexual connection might be the thing that helps Jackson accept Lydia, and open
up the relationship if they can only trust each other and let love conquer all.
I enjoyed this quick, sexy read and how easily Lydia accepts Jackson when she
calls him DADDY and it triggers his protective instincts for her too.
This is a new book by Amelia Smarts. She writes wonderful spanking stories and this one is just great!
Lydia has been left alone in the world. Jackson lets her stay on the ranch and has her try new jobs to help out. She doesn’t do well because she is insecure. Jackson finally loses his patience and spanks her. This is the start of a beautiful DD/lg relationship.
I loved the interaction between the two of them. I give this a whole hearted 5 stars and I can’t wait for the next book by this author!

Another 5 star read by Amelia Smarts! Daddy Takes Charge had me captured from the very beginning. Lydia is the perfect brat for the serious Daddy, Jackson. They fulfill each others needs so beautifully. I highly recommend!
Thoughly entertaining and totally enjoyable, this book engaged me right from the start. I had to laugh at the antics of Lyndia, she really did try to get some attention from Jackson. Her behaviour has been brought to Jacksons attention by his forman. When he calls her into his office, his attention is on how she is dressed, which isnt great, seen as there are quiet a few men on the ranch. When given a list of her antics she is forced to admit they were mostly done on purpose, sarcastically she calls him daddy, then she is over his lap getting spanked and that is the start of things to come.
A must read, and im sure you will really love this book like i did.
Daddy Takes Charge is a stand alone, contemporary romance. Jackson has always had a soft spot for Lydia, but when her attempts to get his attention go too far, she awakens the daddy within. As their relationship develops, Jackson and Lydia need to figure out what’s most important to each other and figure out if there’s a way to save the ranch!
This book is the perfect combination of sweet with the stern daddy, thoughtful and sassy, and I loved reading it! Jackson and Lydia made a really great team when they finally looked beyond their hurt and stand-offish attitudes. Jackson was the perfect Daddy for Lydia, exactly what she needed to rein in her wild ways, caring and attentive, and most of all, I loved the pride he felt when it came to taking care of Lydia and the rest of his ranch. Lydia was a bit of a brat at times, but she wore her heart on her sleeve, had the best of intentions, and was creative and smart. I loved their dynamic together, I loved the way they balanced each other out, and I loved that they both had a little bit to overcome before they could fully accept their love and future. This book was a quick and sweet read with a wonderful daddy Dom play, and it was really great to read!
Amelia Smarts came through with a new romance that is heart warming, fun, and thoroughly enjoyable. Two rough edges need each other as sand paper for the other – once that’s recognized the fun begins.
