Awful! Daddy/little girl trope. H was a daddy dom and treated the h like a preschooler. h scared like a 5 yo even though she was 24. Soo cringy! He even dressed her and fed her and she giggled and called him butthead. Gah!! Horrible! ( )

Cali is a Little that Declan meets on Halloween at Surrender. He is in costume but talks with her. He leaves when it becomes too hard for him to be near her. Because he is the head of the Irish Mafia in the US, he does not feel he is the right person for young, innocent Cali. However, he keeps an eye on her. She is working at a restaurant where Declan and his men frequent. When she learns who he is, and when her sister is kidnapped, she turns to him for help. He cannot help but assist her. When he finds out who is involved, he moves Cali into his mansion. Will he be able to rescue her sister? Do he and Cali have a future?

I loved this story. I loved Declan when he appeared in the Daddies of the Shadows series. I was so glad he got his own series. I loved the trust that Cali has in Declan. He is her Daddy from the beginning. She does sass him and disobey him, but he is enchanted with her. There were times I laughed at her behavior and logic. The guys did also. When she ends up in danger, through no fault of her own, Declan will move heaven and earth to rescue her. Cali, though, has moves up her sleeve also. I was glad how it all worked out.

I look forward to the rest of the series. ( )
