Hunter’s Baby Girl

4 Star review of Hunter’s Baby Girl by Samantha Morgan
Samantha Morgan is a new author to me. Hunter’s Baby Girl was not a particularly long read but I enjoyed it none the less. I love BDSM themed books so I was interested to read this one.
Hayley Monroe prefers older men. When her best friend encourages her to attend an open night at her club, Hayley decides to go, after what could happen.
When Hayley meets Hunter she is attracted to him and even though there is an air of darkness which surrounds him, he intrigues her.
What starts off as one night morphs in to a journey of self discovery, not only for Hayley but for Hunter as well.
The struggles that both Hayley and Hunter go through as they learn about one another also gives them an insight into themselves and it is this journey that I found so interesting.

Hayley is always in trouble and acting like a brat. She needs a strong man to tame her but can’t seem to find the right one. She goes to a BDSM club with her friends. She meets Hunter, a dark broody hot older man there. These two have insane chemistry and quickly begin a role play relationship. This is a good read and not too long if you like this type of book. Highly recommended.

This book has elements of BDSM, spanking, and age role play. The story was interesting with well developed characters who each individually had emotional problems to overcome in seeking their HEA. Good read!

Developing Romance Through Role Play

“Hunter’s Baby Girl” is a professionally written, relatively fast-paced and somewhat engaging romance very different from the typical domestic discipline story-line. This was an incredibly difficult review/rating due to specific elements within the story-line (detailed below). After careful examination of the narrative, the story did move rather quickly, held my interest, and was reasonably entertaining.

Meeting at a BDSM club, the H/h decide to explore a role play relationship with a Daddy and Baby Girl dynamic (no actual age play involved). Agreeing to meet two or three nights a week, the relationship aspect develops rather slowly, and intimate contact remains limited for most of the novel. Told from the heroines POV, Haley examines her emotional as well as sexual needs and the inner turmoil that surfaces regarding her desires. As the story progresses, her inner focus shifts more toward Hunter and their relationship. Hunter often appears detached and refuses sexual satisfaction for himself but seems to enjoy perpetuating Hayley’s carnal fulfillment. Eventually, Hunter’s emotional barrier is disclosed, the relationship consummated, and the emotional obstacle overcome, leading to the HEA.

Readers interested in a lengthier romantic buildup may find the story reasonably engaging, a bit steamy as well as fairly satisfying. Hunter’s demeanor is steeped in mystery and the suspense may intrigue readers until an explanation is exposed near the end of the story.

Those who are familiar with the D/s lifestyle may find certain aspects of the story dubious. Although Hunter is portrayed as experienced within the lifestyle, he initially enters a role play situation with an inexperienced partner, prior to establishing a safeword or discussing likes, dislikes and hard limits. As complete strangers they agree to play in private (within 24 hours) neglecting to apprise friends or family of the arrangement. Safe, sane and consensual is overlooked in several respects throughout the story-line.

At one point in the story, Hunter appears to lose control during a session requiring Haley to use her safeword. The potential underlying reasons for the incident were never explored even though the event shattered all trust within the relationship dynamic. Several questions immediately arose at that juncture such as; why did Haley choose to continue role play with Hunter, why would an experienced Top continue to engage in play when his control is suspect, is Haley perhaps topping from the bottom, is Hunter essentially a sadist, is Hunter emotionally unstable, relatively inexperienced, or are both characters simply immature?

As a dominant, Hunter often appears weak (or totally inexperienced), unable to comprehend, interpret or sense Haley’s submissive wants, needs, likes, dislikes or tolerances. Hunter repeatedly apologizes for various infractions and the countless complaints frequently vocalized by Haley. The dynamic between the characters often appears discontented and contrived, eliciting readers to question why the couple remain in the relationship without a sense of intimacy, understanding or mutual reward.

Overall the story is well written, sufficiently engaging, adequately suspenseful and a bit steamy but experienced D/s readers may need to suspend cognizance of the lifestyle and accept the narrative as merely fiction to ultimately enjoy the story.

Extremely entertaining, captivating and interesting sexy read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong, intriguing characters. I want to read more from this author.

Overall I felt this was a well written story.
But . . . .
The writing itself, while again, good, never excelled to the point I was pulled into the lives of either main character: Hayley (h) or Hunter (H).
Because the story was only from Hayley’s POV (until the last paragraph of the book), it seemed ‘off balance’ to me. The reader gets pages & pages & pages of Hayley’s inner musings about Everything. What she wants, how she wants it, why she wants it, etc. Then she second guesses wanting all that plus questions what Hunter’s motives in their relationship are. I understand the need for these internal ‘conversations’ about these things but because we see everything through Hayley’s eyes, it seemed way too much for too long to me.
And yet for all her internal angst & concerns, she leaps headfirst into an intimate sexual relationship with a man she’s met once at a BDSM club. A man who is supposedly an experienced player (I don’t remember the word Dom used for, or by, him) yet scenes with a woman who is a professed newbie without setting up a safeword. Hmmmm. Then he goes a little too far with his spanking of Hayley & she is frightened & concerned by his apparent enjoyment of the pain he inflicted on her.
They do discuss things later at a coffee shop & agree to proceed together but not at the club, at her house, alone together. Nor does she seem to let anyone know he is coming over, etc. These are probably nit picks on my end but it does seem as though since she is a woman living alone it would make sense to let someone know Hunter is coming over, at least at the beginning of their relationship.
But . . . .
I don’t mean this to seem as though I didn’t like this book. Again, overall I did. I just wanted, well, more of most things & a lot less of Hayley’s thoughts.
I never got enough of Hunter to really care about or be interested in him much. He didn’t come across as ‘experienced’ or ‘controlled’ or ‘dominating’ to me. Every single ‘Daddy’ & ‘Middle Girl’ moment with Hayley was always staged, I never got the feeling that either Hunter or Hayley were actual Daddy/Middle Girl personalities, only that they liked to stage brief playtimes. And while there were teases that there was something in Hunter’s past that was sad & mysterious affecting his depth of emotion with Hayley, again it never quite interested me.
So, a good story that didn’t pull me in to the plot, the characters or their lives, BUT that is *me*. I think this is a story many people will read AND greatly enjoy.

This is a new author to me & I was pleasantly surprised at how well this highly entertaining “Daddy Dom” romance was written. I found the story-line & plot well-written & intriguing with well-developed characters that have distinctive, individual personalities.
It is about: a vanilla kind of woman (Hayley) who goes with her best friend (Megan) to a BDSM club, once there Hayley becomes attracted to a dark & brooding older man (Hunter) & from here the journey of trust & self discovery begins.
There is: mild twists, intrigue, confusion, attraction, suggestions, memories, age play, vulnerability, play-dates, conversations, spankings, trust issues, discussions, agreements, compromises, doubts, emotional turmoil, discovery, love, happiness, steamy scenes & a satisfying happy conclusion.

This book was a quick, daddy dom book that has heartache, a past that will break your heart, and characters that crave things they feel like they shouldn’t want.

I felt like this book moved fast, but it addresses issues that we would consider “taboo” with the daddy Dom thing. The author did a good job at how she addressed this and made it tasteful and steamy. The characters are ones that need what the other has to offer. It is a romance with steamy scenes and a developing relationship that turns into so much more. You get your HEA and you are not disappointed.

Samantha Morgan is a new author to me but after reading Hunter’s Baby Girl that’s about to change because I really enjoyed this quick read with great characters.
This novella still managed to pack a mighty punch, it’s a intense story about trust, passion and respect as Hunter shows Harley how you can feel when you give yourself 100% to the man you trust.
Hunter believes relationships are not what he wants he is happy playing the part of Daddy Dom but that was before he played with Harley ……..
This book has it all, characters with sizzling chemistry, plenty of intrigue and darkness as well as love and passion, if you love BDSM you will want to read this one.
