He’s the kind of guy her mother warned her about. Tall, dark, charismatic as hell, and her boss.Aiden Stone doesn’t do commitments. All he’s ever seen love do is break hearts and tear families part. Specifically, his family. The only thing he’s willing to commit to one hundred percent is his career. No risk of failure there . . . except for daily temptation in the form of a very sexy and … and off-limits co-worker.
Daisy Parker is beginning to believe that being a good girl is over-rated. So, when an overnight business trip gives her a chance to spend a smoking hot night with the super sexy man she’s been crushing on the last three years, she breaks all her own rules.
Being bad feels awfully good, but they agree it’s a one-time fling. That an office workplace romance would be way too complicated. They’re both determined to go back to business as usual.
Until Daisy speaks four little words Aiden was never prepared to hear . . . I’m having your baby.

I think this is my favorite Erika Wilde book to date! I absolutely fell head over heals for Aiden Stone. This womanizer ended his ways after one night with Daisy. She rocked his world in ways he never could have imagined. Daisy had trust issues though. When she realizes she’s pregnant with Aiden’s baby, she doesn’t expect him to stick around. No man in her life ever has. Aiden is out to prove her wrong!
I got a little teary eyed as Daisy told Aiden she was pregnant. She was such a strong person even though her mom and the men in her life hadn’t treated her well. She had no one to show her how to trust and didn’t expect Aiden to want anything from her. I loved watching Aiden’s love for Daisy grow through the story. It was clear that he was smitten from the very beginning, but tired to abide by her rules. I loved watching him tear down her walls and love both her and the baby. The way he was with Daisy was precious from almost the moment he knew she was pregnant. Swoon!
Loved this story! Great read!
Tall, Dark and Charming is a sweet, steamy, quick read that kept me hooked and I couldn’t put it down.
Wilde sure can write a sexy Alpha! Aiden Stone had me swooning into a puddle. He has my heart. I fell in love with his sweet protective side, and his dirty mouth had me fanning myself.
Aiden and Daisy are perfect for each other and I couldn’t help but hope for their HEA. I loved this one and can’t wait to see what Wilde brings us next!
Omg, Aiden is one of the best male characters I’ve read so fare this year……..I loved this story……
* Good storyline, it has a progression that keeps me intrigued from the first moment.
* I love how Daisy and Aiden’s one night in a way sets the tone of the story, it’s hot, a little kinky and very sweet.
* There’s no major drama and open communication between the main characters.
* No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings and dialogues making the story even more appealing.
* Aiden is protecting and being a bit caveman when it comes to Daisy and I like that.
This might be a favourite when it comes to unexpected pregnancy stories, 5 stars
ARC for honest review with no compensation
Tall, Dark and Charming is book 1 in the new series by Erika Wilde and what a great way to start!!
Aiden and Daisy have been working together for about 3 years now and while Aiden is single, charming, loves life, his career and all women adore him…well maybe not all..Daisy on the other hand doesn’t want to jeopardize her career and job so she steers clear of Aiden and his “dimple”. That is until they go out of town to meet with a client and decide to give into their mutual attraction but only for one night then it’s back to being co-workers and friends, only their one night has consequences….and changes both their lives forever. Will Aiden give up his playboy ways and be the man Daisy needs? Will Daisy let her feelings show or stay locked in her past? Will they find their HEA??
Couldn’t put this book down and waiting not so patiently for the next book in this series!!!
This was a fast, cute read. I loved Aiden and my interest was piqued when I learned of his two brothers…with matching dimples. Ha! I love me a man with dimples!! Daisy was sort of this skittish little thing. Of course, learning her history it’s understandable. Aiden is a freaking gem. He’s so patient with her and waits until she’s ready to commit, never pushing her. Very sweet when things finally come full circle and I loved that Aiden was one hundred percent committed to the baby and Daisy. Really cute read, the only reason for four stars was that I didn’t feel a strong connection to the characters and story, but still enjoyed it!

I always know I am in for a treat when I read an Erika Wilde story, and that’s exactly what I got with Tall, Dark and Charming – a deliciously sweet and sexy treat.
Aiden is a charming, sweetheart of a playboy who just so happens to be Daisy’s coworker. A coworker she works hard to appear immune to. Until one night while both are on a work trip together and they fall into bed together. After what was supposed to be a one night only kind of thing, the two stumble into an unplanned relationship by way of Daisy’s unplanned pregnancy.
The progression of their coworker to lovers to co-parents relationship is a slightly emotional, supremely readable journey. Don’t go thinking that Tall, Dark and Charming is just some piece of office fluff, though, because it’s got much more emotional depth to it than that. Aiden and Daisy are two realistic characters that bring their own particular baggage and emotional history to the relationship, especially Daisy. She’s had a hard time with relationships given her disapproving, negative mother, absent father and some not so great exes. So her journey to trust and love with a perennial bachelor like Aiden is an interesting, layered one.
I really liked Tall, Dark and Charming, and am eagerly awaiting the next installment in this series, Tall, Dark, and Irresistible.
Aiden and Daisy are coworkers. After an impulsive hook up they agree it’s best to keep it to the one night. Aiden can’t get her out of his head. He is charmed by her and the two remain friends.
Great somewhat forbidden romance. I liked how they both worked through their issues. Sexy and sweet book. Aiden is a likable hero. Daisy is sweet and independent. I liked the interaction between Aiden and his brothers.
This is the first of the 3 books about the brothers. I am looking forward to the next installment! Great set up for the series.
Friends to lovers stories are almost always a fun and sweet story and Tall, Dark and Charming is no different!
Daisy and Aiden have worked together in the same company for awhile now but now that Daisy has been promoted, they are working closely together. One business trip, one night of passion that is to never be brought up again…is about to change their lives forever.
I enjoyed the chemistry between Daisy and Aiden that started almost immediately. I truly enjoyed how they were just a regular couple, no jaded billionaire playboys, no ex girlfriend drama, just two people trying to make it work. While Daisy thinks they can just co-parent, Aiden is about to show her just how wrong she is and how they are just a couple about to take on the journey of a lifetime together. I love how it was so intense yet fun between Daisy and Aiden and there were so many swoon-worthy moments! I really enjoy office romance books and Tall, Dark and Charming has moved up to the top of my list! I look forward to the next book in the series!
Tall, Dark and Charming could have been titled Dimpled, Charming, and Lethal. Because, Laaaaawd, Aiden Stone is one sexy, dominant, dirty-talking charmer. When he flashes that dimple and issues commands in that low voice, Daisy Parker isn’t the only one who feels the effects. Lemme warn you: He packs a powerful punch.
Things get off to a quick and sizzling start when the two colleagues agree to one night of unbridled passion. They plan to make the most of that one night, and then go back to their friends-only working relationship. And they do…until Fate has other ideas, taking things from light to complicated.
I fell for Daisy and Aiden immediately. They’re strong, likable characters in their own right, and make a fun, adorable couple. Aiden is positively swoon worthy (I did), and Daisy is a woman you could welcome as your BFF. The men in her life have given her reason to be wary. She’s been let down by many, including her family, so trust doesn’t come easy. Luckily Aiden doesn’t give up easily on what–or who–matters. Daisy doesn’t stand a chance against his considerable charms.
Tall, Dark and Charming delivers the scorching heat expected from an Erika Wilde story, but it’s also sweet, emotional, and extremely romantic. A definite must-read.
This book is so good and made my heart melt some. Aiden Stone and Daisy Parker have worked together for three years. Aiden is so handsome and a real heartbreaker. Daisy isn’t immune to his good looks and flirting, but never shows it. They are in San Francisco together meeting with a customer when Daisy lets her hair down and agrees to only one long, hot night together. They both agree that after the one night they will go back to work associates only. They both have lived with some bad choices that others have made that has put them off relationships.
I loved reading about Aiden and Daisy’s relationship, and how they both handled some surprises that came their way. I can see how Daisy can be attracted to him. I really disliked Daisy’s mother and how she treats Daisy. This is a love story that anyone would love to live. I strongly encourage you to read the book. I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader’s Copy of this book.
This is the story of Aiden and Daisy, friends and coworkers. I love, love this book, the characters are sweet, romantic and funny. This is such an amazing story that I did not wanted to finish it. I really can’t wait for the next book on this series. Thumbs up for this book.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange of my honest review.
Tall, Dark and Charming by Erika Wilde was sexy and fun friends-to-lovers romance with surprises all over the place. It was truly an enjoyable read with characters I liked and a story that kept me engaged.
Aiden Stone is sexy, single and a player. Basically, your tall, dark and charming kind of guy (see what I did there)? He also has no plans to change. Life is good, so there really is no reason to change anything right now. That is until Daisy.
Daisy Parker is working on her career. After ending a bad relationship and her mother’s constant warnings about men, she decides to focus on other things. She is not blind and is attracted to Aiden, but it is not worth the heartache, or so she thinks.
When Aiden and Daisy find themselves working on the same project, they cannot deny their chemistry. After one night together, everything changes, literally. What I loved about the story, was though Daisy was unsure of Aiden, she grew and learned to open up, but could she ever truly let Aiden in? And Aiden, though a confirmed bachelor, he was ready to step up and be more for Daisy.
I truly enjoyed reading Talk, Dark and Charming by Erika Wilde. It was fun to read, had sexy times and the chemistry between Aiden and Daisy was hot! I am looking to reading more books in this series!
Read and reviewed for Reviews From The Heart.
Happy reading!
Aiden Stone is Mr. Charming with a killer dimple to match. He can schmooze with the best of them and pretty much always closes the deal, whether in the boardroom or the bedroom. He loves his single life and doesn’t see that changing any time soon. Daisy Parker has been working at the same firm with Aiden for the last three years. She seems so buttoned up, immune to his handsome face and abundance of charms. On a business trip to San Francisco, all of that changes. Daisy agrees to one night with Aiden and nothing more. That one night was more than either one of them imagined. Three months later, Daisy informs him she’s pregnant and his life is turned upside down.
I love how at the beginning of the book we see how much of a dog Aiden is. And due to Daisy’s mother always being so negative in regards to men and her disastrous ex, Daisy gives Aiden an out, saying she’ll raise the baby alone. But once he’s hit with the news of impending fatherhood, we see how Aiden wants not just the baby, but Daisy, in his life and what he’ll do to make that happen. Let’s just say that everyone should have an Aiden in their life…
So much emotion wrapped up in this sexy story. Aiden Stone is the man who can turn on the charm. He has women swooning for him just for walking into a room. But he doesn’t abuse it. He isn’t looking for love because of his family history. He just doesnt believe in it. His rules are simple, one night no stings. Daisy Parker is succeeding in her career. She has something to prove to herself as well as her mother. She doesn’t believe in love either after being duped by a man. She has thrown herself into her work and has gotten a promotion because of it.
When on a business trip, Daisy and Aiden find themselves willing to explore the attraction between them. But for one night only.
I loved how this story developed. They know and trust each other on a business level but they are work friends as well. Daisy is always buttoned up which makes Aiden more curious about her. Aiden doesn’t try to charm Daisy which she appreciates but would like to thrown caution to the wind. The night they spend together is hot! Aiden thinks of all the things he’d like to do and makes sure he gets most of them done. Daisy is more than willing to go with it. Neither expects anything more than this one night.
From that night on though, Aiden can’t seem to get Daisy off his mind. He’s had a taste and he wants more. Daisy can’t afford for things to go south since they work togther. She can’t loose her job. When Daisy finds out she’s pregnant, her whole life shifts. When Aiden finds out, he becomes the man he always was. I can relate to Daisy with the attitude that she was raised with. Her mother taught her that men are not to be trusted. Aiden has a hard road ahead to convince her otherwise.
Wow! All I can say is that everyone needs an Aiden in their life. Dang was he everything a girl could want. And luck Daisy! Daisy definitely deserved a guy like Aiden after how she grew up and her last relationship.
Aiden and Daisy were co workers and friends before they had their one night together while away on business. Even though Aiden was a guy that had no trouble getting a woman and Daisy was a woman who didn’t want to be hurt so she focused all of her energy on work, they were perfect for each other. Aiden was hit on all the time by his clients and some co workers, so it was a breath of fresh air for him that Daisy never hit on him or even flirted with him. Now don’t get me wrong Daisy had a crush on him but she kept it to herself until the one night on a business trip.
I loved this book from the second I started it and couldn’t put it down even though I am sad it is over. This is a book I will definitely re read, I enjoyed it that much! I can’t wait for Aiden’s brothers, Leo & Dylan, stories.
4.5 Tall, dark and delicious stars for swoony office romance.
Who doesn’t love a friends to lovers romance?
Tall, Dark and Charming by Erika Wilde is the first in the new series of standalones, Tall, Dark and Sexy. It’s the hilarious and sinfully sweet story of Aiden and Daisy who’ve been friends forever and also work for the same company. When Daisy gets promoted she and Aiden are now working together. It’s could be a recipe for disaster and push their friendship into the end zone… or it could lead to more.
But when one business trip does lead to more… and then even more, Daisy doesn’t know what to do. She knows Aiden isn’t ready to settle down nevermind become a dad.
It might not have been at the top of his to-do list, but now it’s happened, Aiden has no intentions of walking away from Daisy or his child to be. He just has to make her see things his way.
I loved the chemistry between these two, it sizzled right from the beginning. It was fun watching them just being a regular Jane and Joe, with no real angst or other cr** getting in the way. It had some pretty intense moments, Aiden brought out the swoony guns and Daisy was helpless to resist.
I can’t wait to see what Erika has up her sleeve for the next book.
I loved this book!!!
Daisy has some definite issues stemming from the way she grew up but I love how she is adamant that she won’t let it dictate how she raises her own child.
Aiden is a dream. He has his own issues from his early years but it doesn’t take him long to realize what’s important and to do everything in his power to grab on tight. He’s demanding but not pushy.
I can’t wait for Leo & Dylan’s stories.
Ahhhhh! My heart! It’s bursting from cute overload! I can’t take it! Tall, Dark, and Charming starts off by hitting you with the hottest of hot then goes straight into adorably sweet making for the ultimate swoony read. This book made me a big mess full of the warm and fuzzies by the time it was finished and I loved it! A pretty fast read (definitely not short, don’t worry) I flew through the pages totally falling head over heels for Aiden and Daisy.
The heat between these two is intense right from the start. They have some amazing chemistry that explodes in a way that you’re going to need a good quality fan for a cool down. But along with that heat there’s a sweet bond that just continues to grow into a sweet love that *dreamy sigh* will hit you right in the feels. I love, love, love Aiden and how much he adores Daisy. His sweetness swept me off my feet and I couldn’t get enough!
This is a story about what happens when one-night stand turns out to be so much more than that.
Aiden and Daisy were so loveable. I loved his easygoing personality. His dirty mouth was an added bonus. I love how she had »split« personalities; a work one where she was button-up, strictly professional and then her relax one which she showed only to Aiden.
I loved all his little gifts. But what I loved most was when she finally let go of her mother’s (good God how much I hate that woman) influences and realized that what they had was worth fighting for.
Now I’m more than ready to meet Leo and the woman who will bring him back to life. 🙂

TALL, DARK AND CHARMING is the first instalment in Erika Wilde’s contemporary, adult TALL, DARK AND SEXY erotic, romance series focusing on the Stone siblings (Aiden, Leo, Dylan). This is thirty two year old Director of Sales and Marketing for Roth Owens Agency Aiden Stone, and website designer Daisy Parker’s story line.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Aiden and Daisy) TALL, DARK AND CHARMING follows the building relationship between co-workers Aiden Stone, and Daisy Parker. Several months earlier one-night of glorious, no-strings attached sex while on assignment in San Francisco resulted in an unplanned pregnancy for our leading couple. Fast forward to present day wherein Daisy is willing to go it alone but Aiden has other plans for the mother of his child. What ensues is the building romance and love between Aiden and Daisy, and the potential fall-out as Daisy refuses to accept help from the man with whom she is falling in love.
Daisy grew up never knowing or having met the man her mother claims to be her father; Aiden watched as his family was ripped apart when his father had an affair, and in this our leading couple struggle with memories from the past. Daisy is an independent, successful young woman whose inner vixen is hidden behind classic business suits and a stoic hair bun but her last relationship left our heroine with issues of trust. Aiden is a handsome, sexy man who doesn’t do relationships, or believe in a happily ever after but a man who is both tender and passionate, provocative and sassy.
The relationship between Aiden and Daisy begins as a one-night stand. Their attraction to one another is palpable but both agreed to never let their personal life interfere with their business and ability to work together. Daisy’s unexpected pregnancy is a shock to them both but Aiden is willing to step up and be the father to their child, that neither one ever had. The $ex scenes are intimate and erotic. There are some scenes of light spanking.
The colorful secondary and supporting characters include Aiden’s brothers Leo and app designer Dylan, as well as their supportive and loving mother Felicia Stone; Daisy’s long suffering mother Diane Parker; and Sabrina, our couple’s accommodating boss at the Roth Owens Agency. Leo’s story is next in Tall, Dark and Sexy.
TALL, DARK AND CHARMING is an enjoyable, delightful and refreshing story line in that our couple accept responsibility without accusations and finger pointing, or placing the blame for what happened or why. The premise is heart warming and inspiring; the characters are strong, spirited and flirty; the romance is seductive, erotic and intense. TALL, DARK AND CHARMING is a quick, light-hearted, entertaining and satisfying read.
