The daughter of my oldest friend is now my responsibility. I expected a little girl in pigtails. What I got was a Lolita with an attitude that drives me insane, and a body that fuels every man’s fantasies. She’s everywhere I turn. Tormenting me, teasing me, taunting me; wrapping herself around my every thought. Invading my life in more ways than one, Ivy Colt is my poison. I know I shouldn’t want … know I shouldn’t want her, but like her namesake she’s an itch I need to scratch.

Oh, this caught me off guard.
Yes, the taboo is definitely there but I wasn’t expecting it to tug at the heartstrings like this as well.
I love the banter and I felt for Ivy being conflicted about her original plan – yes, she had one.
The attraction is immediate and the sexual tension is off the charts.
Absolutely loved this story.
Hot and steamy
Brock and Ivy’s story is a hot and steamy forbidden romance. There is lots of heat between these two with lots of naughty. This is a great story and was hard to put down.
I loved this book! A whole lot forbidden, a whole lot taboo, and a whole lot steamy makes for my perfect book. This was a quick, fast-paced read that I finished in one sitting. Brock and Ivy were perfect. Their chemistry was off the charts. I will definitely be recommending this book to everyone!
Forbidden romance is a favorite and this story was perfect!
Brock has just become Ivy’s guardian since her father passed. She has to live with Brock for six months in order to fulfill the terms of her father’s will. Neither was prepared for their lives to change.
Brock thought he was getting a little girl. What he got was a sexy, barely legal, young woman. Every ounce of restraint will be tested, because as soon as he sees Ivy, all bets are off.
Both have their own plans for the future. A relationship is not one of them. Avoidance is key, but they can’t seem to stay away.
This story is incredibly HOT!!! The sexual tension builds and the slow burn is intense. Brock has the alpha, jerk thing going for him and Ivy is the sexy vixen he can’t resist. You will love this age gap, forbidden romance.
Smokin’ hot read.
This is one smokin’ hot read! There’s so much heat and tension, that this should set off the smoke alarm. Brock is now the guardian of Ivy, who he assumes is a young girl. Brock mentally prepares himself to take care of child, and is totally unprepared when he finds out she a young woman who is just as headstrong as himself. This a age gab romance with plenty of heat, humor and a HEA.
When his best friend passes away & grants him guardianship of his daughter, Brock is in no way prepared to be a parent. He has no choice but to accept & hope he will be able to bond with this little girl. But the surprise is on him when Ivy ends up being not so little.
This was a fun, age-gap, bit of taboo read between two people who get off on sarcastic banter which leads to frustration with the sexual tension. Brock does his best to stay away from the sultry tease, but it’s only a matter of time before his resolve disintegrates. Another fabulous read from this dynamic writing duo. Looking forward to reading more!
When his best friend passes, Brock isn’t suspecting his newly appointed job as guardian of the daughter. Little does he know she’s eighteen and sexy as heck. Their attraction is taboo but that doesn’t hold them back. More depth to the story than just sex. Loved the whole thing.
Brock is 35, a detective and has just been blindsided by his best friends death. He didn’t realise that Charles had any children let alone a daughter! What was he thinking when he left Brock as her guardian for six months! It is at Charles request that if Ivy is to receive her inheritance she has to remain in his care! Ivy who is 18, has no intentions of sticking around and wants to get back to her life! She arrives full of sass and full of the typical teenage attitude! Brock was expecting a little girl not a beautiful young woman. She flaunts herself at him and he tries desperately not to nibble the bait! Once he does, they are both in a little deeper than they expected.
Remy Blake is the writing duo of Jacob Chance and Marley Valentine. While I am familiar with Jacob, this is my first read by Marley and Remy Blake. Guardian was the perfect read to pop my Remy Blake cherry. Brock Marshall’s life is upended when he finds out his longtime friend has passed away and appointed him guardian of his daughter, Ivy. Brock is single and not at all prepared to be a “dad”. He is expecting a young girl, but then he meets Ivy, whose 18 and all sex and sass. “Are you my new Daddy”, Ivy says and with those 5 words, Brock is a goner. This book was funny, sweet, sexy as hell and the perfect read for a lazy, Saturday afternoon. Can’t wait to read more from this talented duo.
Guardian was a short, fast paced engrossing read. Brock and Ivy had intense chemistry from the start and their push and pull relationship had me hooked until the very end. Although a age gap story, it did not feel taboo. As the novel progressed, things became very hot and steamy.
This story was funny at times and very addictive. Although it was a short read, the authors were able to provide a complete story which I fully enjoyed.
Guardian was a fantastic read and i would recommend it to anyone looking for a short quick read.
When “oh so wrong” feels “oh so right”
Having just read Tempt a couple of days ago, it was interesting to compare it with Guardian which – at it’s most basic – is about an older man and younger woman (as opposed to the older woman and younger man in Tempt). At first, I felt this book didn’t have the same gripping storyline and relatable characters that Tempt did. Ivy acts like a typical 18 year old spoiled brat who is unimpressed with having to live with her dad’s best friend Brock – a 35 year old bachelor – after her dad passes away. Ivy uses her sexuality and body to her advantage, flirting shamelessly with Brock who isn’t sure how to handle her.
The sexual attraction and chemistry is explosive but with their age difference and the circumstances that brought them to be living together, neither want to actively pursue something that would be considered “wrong”. However, once lines are crossed there’s no going back – until Ivy reveals her future plans and Brock is not a part of them.
Until about 3/4 of the way through the book, I felt that Guardian was more taboo and salacious erotica than a story with characters I could empathise with. But out of nowhere, there was a switch and I sat up, paid attention and finally felt the book had something to say. And I was so very glad for it – because Remy Blake (together as a duo and as separate authors) are so very talented and I wasn’t thrilled to have to give this book a less than stellar review.
So enjoy the steamy, hot, panty-wetting sex scenes, revel in the illicit relationship and be prepared to see that when it comes to love, age is no barrier. Another fabulous read by Remy Blake and I look forward to whatever they give us next.

Have you very wondered what it would be like to suddenly become guardian to an 18 year. We’ll in this story we see what happens when your best friend suddenly passes away and he leaves you his daughter. Not knowing why, you’re mind is thinking of so many thing things and not appropriate either. This story gives us some sexy scenes and we find ourselves falling in love with the the obstacles they have to face. This book is a MUST read and I happily give it 5+ stars.
This duo has done it again and have written another amazing story. Right from the beginning my attention is captured and I’m drawn into the storyline about how Brock, a 35 year old single officer is now becoming the guardian of his late friends daughter Ivy who is 18. The attraction is there without a doubt but when they both try to fight it and argue instead of embracing their feeling I found myself laughing with the things Ivy comes up with to rile Brock up. This is a quick read but oh so good, it’s filled with hotness and have you wishing you were in Ivy’s place living there with Brock. This is a must read, you will be smiling the entire time and won’t be able to put your reader down. Loved loved loved this story and I cannot wait to see what Remy Blake has in store for us next. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.
