The Construction Worker's Obsession
I’m a simple working class man. I don’t need much to get by, and I’m content with my life.
Until I see her. One look is all it takes for me to become completely and irrevocably obsessed.
I’m convinced she’s an angel sent down straight from heaven, but my little angel looks so sad, and I’m on a mission to find out why.
She might not know me—yet—but I’m going to scoop her up and take care of her. I’ll put all her broken pieces back together. After all, I’m a builder, and building something together with the girl I know is meant to be mine will be my life’s greatest masterpiece.

OTT DDLG short romance that would make Jessica Kane proud.

1.5 stars!
This was very short and smutty. Unfortunately, the use of 'daddy' and 'baby' was not only cringe at times but excessive☠.

Oh daddy
Instant smutty love. She comes from rich background, his humble. He becomes her new daddy n they live HEA. 💕🔥 The only con was the constant repetitiveness of what Jon asks Whitney during sexy times.

DADDY DADDY DADDY
I hate not finishing a book so I'm glad this one was short. The use of DADDY was just too much..it was beginning to sound to perverted for my taste then they have a child calling him Daddy. To much

WOW!
Talk about a quick to love, quick to claim over the top possessive lust-o-love affair! That instant know it’s right, know it’s everything and know you’ll do anything to protect, love and keep it all safe. Sigh… talk about sweet dreams into sweeter reality. Loved their epilogue.

Age gap/ DdLg/ virgin FMC/ insta-love/ OM drama/ HEA
Trigger warning: abuse/ neglectful parenting/ cheating (the FMC was technically engaged)
Super fast read about insta-love. I absolutely adore insta-love because it is completely ridiculous in most cases. HOWEVER I didn’t see why the author had to acknowledge that the MMC was sooooo happy that the FMC was 18 thus being legal. He even went on to say that had she not been of age, he would have waited and counted down the days until he could be with her….yuck. That just felt unnecessary and gross in my opinion

At first sight by MeemsAngel82
This was a sweet and sexy not to mention protective read by Emma. The two characters are great together. This is a whole read and while I wish there was more to it because it was so fun and such a great concept, it was still a sweet story.
This man was a hard worker and all of his hard work was paying off. He looked up and found an angel in front of him. This innocent girl wanted him but was scared because her father's path was clear and nothing she wanted. He wanted to marry her off and she didn't want to.
He was a good man and apparently knew just what she needed! The Daddy aspect was fun and was something that this girl needed because her father was ruling her but not in a kind way. What a terrible father and again I wished there was more because it was fun having her guy put her dad in his place. When he showed her who was in charge it was obviously more fun for her!

This is a short smutty instalove novella. This is not one that I particularly enjoyed. The story had potential however it could use some editing and proofreading. There were a lot of cringe moments with the overuse of Daddy, and some of the story is lost in the need for editing.
Jon is an older construction worker who is obsessed with the young girl who lives next door at the construction site.
Whitney is being forced to marry James the mayor’s son. Jon rescues her from her fate and she instantly falls for him. His character is over the top possessive. While I enjoy a good alpha male who wants to protect and claim his girl, Jon was a little too much to handle.

he has sex with her once and thinks he owns her. Tells her what she can and can't do. yeah right. Try telling a real 18 yr old that she can't go out with her mates and you'll get the finger. Such a stupid story that I actually read. the oh daddy made me dnf.
that's why I'm giving this no stars because I'm unable to give it half.
worst story I've read and dnf this month and thankfully the shortest!

Jon and Whitney
Not my favorite Emma Bray book, but still a very sexy and fun story. Jon is a man that knows what he wants in life, and what he wants is Whitney. They meet by chance and he is enamored by her from the beginning. Their story is very fast paced and very smutty. Jon has a dirty mouth that makes you sweat. It's a great story if you want a quick, steamy novella.

I’m giving this book 5 stars, not because it’s “good”, my personal opinion, but because it’s so bad, again my opinion, that it’s campy? Like, here I was a hot Sunday afternoon, mopping around the house, when I stumbled upon this gem. I didn’t stop laughing all throughout. Can’t wait to tell my friends all about it as part of my voice-note sending routine of the week.

This one is filled with an over-the-top, possessive, lustful connection. Loved it.
Whitney comes from a wealthy background, while Jon is a humble, hardworking guy🔥 He's genuinely a good guy, working hard until he spots Whitney, his "forever angel." They have that instant chemistry. From there, it's all passion and devotion, and they live happily ever after. 💕
The epilogue was a lovely touch, wrapping up their story beautifully.
This book is a quick and hot read, just how I like it!

Short, Steamy and Searingly Good
This book has a fiercely protective construction worker who is a big lovable Daddy. His little girl needs, no wants, someone to help her get away from her controlling father. Blue collar vs white shows who is the better person. If you enjoy HOT passionate scene this is the book for you!!

A nice, spicy, quick read! Construction worker spies a young girl in a neighboring house and he is captivated by her. Love at first sight. She wanders over and he learns she is unhappy because her dad is forcing her to marry the Mayor's son (not for love but for status).

Ugh not my style
It's ok . It's not my normal read. A little fast at times . Even with her being forced to marry , I don't like any type of cheating. She doesn't do anything with the mayor's son but still don't like anythg that has any type of cheating.

Hard to read (not a euphemism)
So many mistakes and scenes that made no sense. Read like it was written and published in one sitting. Needs a really good proofreader…or 5.

Repetitive

Short, sweet and does exactly what it says on the tin. Very instalovey but that's to be expected since its under 70pages.

JON and WHITNEY
Okay, this book really had so much potential but ended up being so cringe!! It really annoys me when a story than can be good with a little bit of editing, is left to its whim.
Jon and Whitney gave the perfect lusty, sexy, obsessive, stalker-ish and insta-love vibes. The only issue I had with the book was the amount of ‘Daddy,’ ‘Daddy,’ ‘Daddy,’ used in this book was too much and excessive. It ended up being more uncomfortable than hot.
The whole point of daddy-kink was completely lost.
The good thing is that there is a story – somewhat. It’s not like a one-shot of just lust and sex.
The juxtaposition of the pure, virginal white dressed Whiteney and the blue-collar sexy older construction worker is well written, giving you the prefect opposite attract trope and the taboo feel, but the daddy-kink ruined it.
