Her mind returns to a time when she was a child when she is told what to do and obey, and punished if she disobeys. Harry becomes her protector, fulfilling a promise he made to her dead brother. Over time she begins to heal and love griows between them. My hear breaks for the pain she suffered under a cruel man and it gladdened with their romance and happy ending.

Harry is just the man that Rose needs… after a disastrous marriage that left her emotionally scarred, Rose has withdrawn to her nursery where she waits for someone to show they care enough to discipline and correct her. This story shares the fictional lives of Harry, a nobody that worked his way up through the Army to Capitan; all through self discipline and holding himself to a higher standard. Now, he helps Rose through discipline, expectation, and care. This is an unconventional relationship but an engaging story. These characters are multifaceted, complicated and damaged. Together they all work to make each other whole in a sweet, functional family.

After suffering from a brutal husband and now a widow, Rose has returned to her father’s house and now seeks comfort in the surroundings in her old nursery. After the death of her father and brother, Harry is now her guardian and the overseer of her estate until she comes of age. As Rose’s mental well being hangs by a thread, discipline when administered because of naughtiness seems to keep her grounded. The book is well written and holds your interest. As Rose feels more and more secure, her adult side is becoming stronger and feelings are developing for Harry. There is a HEA but it takes awhile for this to happen and there is a lot more going on in the story. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.
This is the third book in the Deceit and Desire series. Rose has been living as a Little since her husband’s death. He was abusive both physically and mentally. When both her father and her brother die, Harry becomes her guardian. He tries to help her but she has a lot of insecurities. There is a HEA and the story to get there is engrossing.
Rose is finally free of the husband who mentally and physically abused her during their marriage. She retreats to her little girl nursery. Rose also loses her father and brother. Her brothers best friend Harry has taken over Rose’s brothers responsibility and became Rose’s guardian. Rose gets help through discipline, expectation and loving care from Harry the same kind of discipline and a higher expectation for himself while he was in the Army. Poor Harry has to learn how to take care of a little. It was great to see how Rose and Harry grew in their relationship. Such a good story that you can’t put the book down.

A pleasant surprise.
Okay, I feel in love with the cover and was I in for a pleasant surprise. Figuring it was a modern romance I found one from the 1800’s my favorite time period. Lady Rose Colby a widow who is having a difficult time. An old friend of her brother’s Captain Harry Grey agrees to become Lady Rose’s guardian it was his friend’s final wish. To cope with everything Rose retreats and Harry clearly sees what he needs to do, but they are not of the same class so society rules come into play. This was a captivating daddy/little story and the issues in the story were handled very well by the author. This is a very good book and I highly recommend it. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
When Harry promises his chum Francis that in the event of his death, he will protect Rose, he certainly doesn’t think it will come about. Rose is a Little. A tragedy flings her back to a time when she was innocent of the cruelties of life. Cosseted and disciplined in the nursery, she is happy. It takes Harry a while to get into his new duties, but even though he will never be good enough for a Lady, he can give her this. A good read. Historical spanking romance. DDLG with anal play.

What a fun story. Rose is such a sweet character that needs to stay in the nursery. Poor Harry doesn’t know what he is getting into when he accepts her guardianship when her brother dies. He is so good with her while trying to learn everything he needs to run the businesses. Lovely story that I enjoyed immensely.

This was not my cup of tea. When I read romance, I’m most interested in the developing relationship between the leading couple. I felt like there were too many other people involved in their relationship. I also didn’t see enough page time with Harry and Rose together for me to fully believe in their connection. And in terms of the power exchange aspect of this story, I was very uncomfortable with the discipline being meted out by people other than our hero. It worked for Harry and Rose. I can see it working for a lot of other readers. I just am not the target audience for this particular story.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.
I liked this book. This book offered a nice balance between steam and sweetness. I really liked Rose and Harry. Their story is filled with lots of emotions, angst, drama and passion. It was easy to feel for Rose. Her painful past was tragic. Harry was a very good guy. A quite enjoyable read that does feature some BDSM elements.
Rose was never given any of the details of her husbands death. Her father and brother both knew but never told her. Her brother had left a letter that explained everything. The letter was lost until much later after the incident took place. His best friend Harry took over the brother’s responsibility and became guardian of Rose. He fell for her and she fell for him, however, due to his class in society they deemed it inappropriate for them to marry. When the letter was discovered everything changed for the couple and after a few more twists and
turns there is a hea.
