As her new husband, my innocent bride is under my complete control.

Penniless with no family connections, there is no one to defend her… against me.
I never bothered to ask if she wanted to marry, it wasn’t her choice to make… nothing from this point forward will be her choice.

From the moment I claim her, I will take complete possession of every facet of her life. She will be treated like a child, dominated by me. Kept in a nursery, by my order, she will be disciplined through daily humiliations, and compelled to endure my own brutal punishments.

You see, what my little bride does not know is I never had any intention of treating her as a wife.
I married her for my own deviant pleasure… and for her complete Submission.

This is a Victorian Dark Daddy Dom. The Heroine is at the complete mercy of the powerfully ruthless, alpha Daddy. Don’t expect any sweet hugs and kisses from this romance! Previously published by Zoe Blake in the A Little Submission series.

5 “Papa and his little Emmie” stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

”Say it," he growled as he crushed her in an embrace.
“Papa," Emmie breathed.


Holy fucking shit....I’m speechless. Where. Has. This. Author. Been. My. Whole. Life...!!
Just when I thought I had read reached the level of smut there is or the craziest daddy kink romance out there, this book right here proved me wrong and left my mouth hanging wide open. If I have to choose one word to describe this books, it is HARDCORE.
I read the kind of filth which I never would have imagined in my wildest dream. It also happened to be my first historical romance read. If all are like these and then sign me up.

”This is now your new life. You will be treated like my very special little girl. I will control when and how you will be bathed, what you will wear, when you sleep, what you eat. I will control everything. Do you understand me?"
She could do nothing but slowly nod her head, mesmerized by his gaze as well as his words.


This book was the epitome of kinky romance and guess what.... it’s just the first book in the series and I’m part nervous and part excited to know what else she can come up with. This book definitely pushed my limit and boy... did I love it. Never have I read a daddy kink romance like this and indeed it was DARK. Now if you’re like me, then I suggest you go blind in this. Only continue reading my review if you’re okay with mild spoilers.

The fuckery that happened:

✔️Dub-con/non-con
✔️Child-bride
✔️Spanking
✔️Figging
✔️Intense Humiliation
✔️Enema
✔️D/s

”His new wife was the perfect combination of beauty and innocence. When he’d caught her eavesdropping and saw how she trembled in his presence, how she submissively kept her gaze lowered, he’d known he had found his perfect mate.”

Lord Winchester’s family follows the child bride tradition for generations with the belief that men are supposed to take care of their little ones and be the one with all the power in a relationship. He was ruthless, cruel, kinky AF, domineering and a very strict and mean daddy. No wonder I liked him.

Emmie has had a tough life taking care of the house while her stepfather loses all the money in gambling and who eventually marries her off to Lord Winchester. She thought to herself maybe now she’ll be treated like an adult or a lady but the reality was something else. Something she had no clue about.

”Tell Papa why you were punished." "Because...because I said I wasn't really a little girl," she answered through her tears as she rubbed at her eyes.
“Do adults get put over a knee and spanked?"
“No."
“Do adults wear diapers and take naps?"
“No."
“Does a grown woman call her husband Papa and go to sleep with her stuffed bunny?"
"No."
“No. That is correct. Who does, Emmie? Who does get their little bottoms punished when they are bad? Who does wear diapers and take naps?
“Me."
“Me, who?"
“Me, Papa."


From the very first moment she was treated like a little child with her own nanny aka Mrs Pew (who was cruel in her ways) who bathed her, taught her, prepared her for Lord Winchester and punished her when she misbehaved. She was confused how despite her humiliation, she still managed to feel carefree without any responsibilities and started to craved her papa’s attention.

With every chapter her limits were pushed to the extreme each one more intense and degrading and filthier than the last. Every single thing done to her shocked me and was completely unexpected especially her teaching lessons.
They were so not what I was expecting. Here’s a little peek...

”Tell me about your lessons today."
She stared back at him with confused eyes, distracted by the sensation between her legs.
“Recite your definitions. What is a pussy?" he asked. "It is the hole Papa puts his cock in," she said in a soft, slightly breathless voice.
“What is it called when Papa puts his cock in your hole?"
“Fucking," she whispered.
“What was that? I couldn't hear you."
“Fucking," she said louder.
"What is a cock?"
“It is what Papa uses to pleasure and punish me."


This definitely felt more like a erotica or pure smut and not a romance mostly dark and edgy. The dynamic of daddy and his little was done exceptionally well. I enjoyed all the craziness that happened even if that makes me question my morals a little.

”After restraining her wrists and thighs he took a moment to gaze upon his precious girl before covering her with a blanket. She was curled into the fetal position, her tiny mouth filled with the large pacifier, her ample bottom still red from the spanking she had received. But it was her big gorgeous eyes he loved most in this moment. They were staring up at him with love and adoration. She understood. She had finally submitted.”

I honestly don’t wanna give away everything because that’ll just take the fun out of it and what good is that. Just know that I have found another smut queen for y’all to obsess over. Have fun.😉

Calling all age-play lovers, there's a new author in town and her name is Zoe Black! This is a delightful Victorian age-play story with Daddies, nannies and diapers. Those who enjoy Adult Baby Diaper Lover (ABDL) fetish, this is the book for you. Emily is eighteen years old and suffering under her step-father's vices. He gambled away the home and he can't manage his own household. Emily is stressed as she takes on all the duties of a wife with none of the benefits. She wishes for a change. Little does she know her deceased mother appealed to a friend to take care of her daughter in the event Emily is left destitute. Lord Richard is keeping an eye on Emily since her mother's passing. When the time is right, he maneuvers Emily into a rushed wedding.

I am a huge fan of ageplay, specifically when a woman is forced to be a baby too. The humiliation in wearing a diaper, sucking a pacifier and being taken care of by a nanny is a guilty pleasure. Ms. Black hits all my happy kink buttons with enema, anal training, oral training, baby bottles and more. This book definitely goes into my not so secret spank bank for many re-reads.

The characters in this story are great. Lord Richard is a Daddy Dom who is strict and consistent. The training he puts Emily aka Emmie through are fabulous. The addition of a nanny and governess is wonderful. The education Emmie learns at these deviant hands is panty wetting goodness. The descriptions of each act are well done. It's easy to visualize every depraved act Emmie suffers at the hands of her

One only hopes there are more stories to come with Little Emmie. The story leaves the reader wanting more. Emmie is just starting to understand her place in the household. If a follow up story with more anal training as well as more degrading sexual acts is available, I'd snap it up in a second. Would it be possible for Emmie to also have a mommy? This would be a lovely addition. Emmie also needs to experience a few more punishment implements. Lastly, if Ms. Black would be so kind as to write another story with Lord Richard's friend finding his little girl, I would be in age-play heaven. This kinky book is highly recommended to age play fanatics. This is one that should not be missed.

Immersing myself in this warm feeling of happiness this book gave me! Richard is a no nonsense Papa with a strict hand for discipline and he sure does not disappoint. His little emmie is the most adorable little I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading about!
The relationship between them was soo enthralling.
There is major age play involved so reader beware.

3 stars. I couldn't say that I loved this book, but I was very interested with the story because I have never read anything like this before. I've read a quite handful of books with bdsm practices but nothing like this one at all. I just recently googled what ABDL means, well, it is a sexual fetish involving adults acting like babies and/or wearing diapers or simply called "Adult Baby Diaper Lover." I should have searched about that before putting my hands on this book, because up to now I still couldn't wrap my mind around what the hell just happened.

Set in a Victorian era, this book is basically a story about the training and submission of little Emmie, a lass who was forced to marry a wealthy but mysterious man almost twice her age, being disciplined under the hands of a "nanny" and Lord Burkewood himself. This is an age play novel with lots of spanking, beatings, humiliation/degradation and domestic abuse. There were lots of cringe-worthy moments in this book, but what bothered me the most was the whole "nanny" thing which didn't sit well with me at all. I may have not loved the book as much, but it still kept me interested throughout. The author's writing was so vivid and compelling and every scene of humiliation was so realistic that I could almost feel the constant beatings Emmie received. I wish the book was longer, though. I was hoping for more character development and chemistry between the hero and heroine. Nonetheless, I look forward to reading other books by this author.

This is an excellent age play novel. It has many of the things that are sort of standard in this genre - great discipline, great descriptive scenes, growing relationship, a nanny, and a good progression. It's harsh enough to please those that want more than a spanking and the author has a way with assuring the descriptive parts really shine. If you like this sort of erotica you must pick this up. I read a lot of kinky and erotic books and this is one of the best ageplay!

It was well written unfortunately the dubious consent, lack of communication or clear understanding prior to the various treatments/lessons ruined the entire story for me. 1.5-2 stars it did nothing but upset me & would've likely caused me to rebel. Also I'm not a fan of diapers. (didn't know that when I originally purchased the book - learned something new.) maybe I'm just not into age play? Idk

I'm not sure what to rate it.


It's certainly a "dark" romance and there's quite a lot of non-con happening here. I've not read this one before (Previously named something like "Little Emmie" but I've read the other two books in this series. It's hard to get over the non-con part to get to the good parts. I mean, treating an adult like this without any sort of consent or even knowledge is - in itself - a total mindfuck.

I wanted to like this. I expected to like this. I did not, however, like this.

Honestly, I'm not sure what exactly was wrong with it. I love non-con. I love forced babying. I love humiliation. I love diapers. This story has all the elements I love in it, but... I didn't like it at all!

I think the issue here is that this story sits very uncomfortably in an uncanny valley between horror and romance. If it had gone all-in one way or the other, I probably would've loved it. Unfortunately, there's too many horrifying aspects for me to ever get on board with this being a romance... but there's also too many attempts at affection for it to qualify as horror.

I feel like this dude's basically torturing this girl and saying he loves her... and we're just supposed to believe him because he says so, but absolutely nothing he's doing actually backs that up. Like, either torture the girl like the villain you are or treat her like you actually care about her as a human being. This somewhere-in-between-the-two schtick is weird. And kinda creepy.

Eighteen year old Emily lives with her stepfather George, her mother having passed away two years earlier. George is to put it kindly a degenerate gambler and if the servants are to be believed addicted to opium. Emily has taken over the running of the house and she is very worried that George will end up losing the house as he has already sold off almost all of their possessions. George owes a great deal of money to His Lordship, Richard Burkewood, and in order to pay his debts agrees to marry Emily off to him. If at this point you are
hoping that all of Emily's problems are over and the standard HEA is near, my advice to you would be to not purchase this book. If on the other hand, you enjoy age play and D/S and all the other wonderful things that those two categories entail, then my advice to you is to purchase this book ASAP.

This is my first time reading anything by Zoe Blake but definitely not the last. She captures the nuances of this genre beautifully and I loved this book. This author definitely deserves to be placed with all the other first class writers who write great historical age play/DS books.

This was a very fun, well-written story in the abdl space. The humiliation and discipline in this book was perfect. I found it very hot and would put it in the top age-play books I have read. Regressing our little lady, Emmie, is forced on her so if that isn't your hot kink, take a pass. I wish their was a tad bit more love between the two main characters, but you could feel it developing. If abdl is your "thang" then this is your book.

THE SUBMISSION OF LITTLE EMMIE

A wonderfully written dark Victorian Age-play story. Emily is living with her stepfather; her mother passed away two years prior. She is running his household while he gambles and drinks. The present conditions are dire, and the debt to Lord Burkewood will be paid with none other than herself.

She overhears a conversation when a gentleman comes to call and finds out he is taking her away as his bride, and she has no say. She arrives at his home in the country and is taken to a nursery where she has a Nanny. Her training begins immediately as his child bride.

The story is the training and submission of Emmie to her Papa/Husband, Lord Richard Burkewood. It contains a D/s relationship, domestic discipline by both the Nanny and Papa, explicit sex, anal play, medical play and humiliation in an age play situation.

I do not like giving any book 3 stars. Even if it's not my type of book. If it is well written I'll still give it 4 stars. But with the way authors are throwing books out there for us to read and its subpar I'm going to start. If you can't take the time to proofread and not repeat yourself (I think some was just copy and pasted) then I'm not giving you above a 3 star. This book would have been a really good book if I could have enjoyed it and not been distracted by all the mistakes. Authors please spend a little bit of money to have someone proofread it. I'm not talking about editors they dont proofread. But get yourself a good proofreader, if you can't afford one slow down and do it yourself. It would definitely make for better reviews.

I like the story but the proofreading sucked so I didn't get to enjoy it.

A nice read. Not very long, but good none the less.

It's set in the victorian era, but apart from the fact that Emmie travels in a carriage in the beginning, then there really is not much else that's specific to the setting. It may as well be contemporary. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but the setting just doesn't play a very big role in the story.

It's heavy on the BDSM aspect. At least compared to other ageplay stories I'd say this one has less love and nurturing in favor of more punishment, forced submission, humiliation and bondage.

But a nice read all in all.

Wow, my first book about the world of Papa-woman/child submission. Oddly erotic but so very strange. Hard to rate, the writing was good, there was somewhat of a story arch, but it was definitely a novella.

This is the story of Emily. She is neglected by her stepfather and he, basically, sells her to Lord Richard Burkewood. Richard knew Emily’s mother and when her mother knew she was dying, asked Richard to care for Emily, even though she knew how Burkewood men treated their wives. They didn’t want wives, they wanted little girls. Emily was to become Richard’s little girl. When she arrived at her new home, she was immediately treated as a little girl and stripped by her nanny. Emily resisted and she was spanked for her trouble. Eventually, she is dressed as a little girl and put down for a nap while immobilized by cuffs in a fetal position. Once awake, she is dressed, brought to her Papa and he explains some of what her life will be like now. He also tells her that she is now Emmie.
This is a pretty harsh age-play story. It is non-consensual and Emmie does get punished pretty severely. But, there is also love developing between them. The punishments that Emmie gets are swift and very harsh. She is also subject to training that includes temperature taking and oral and anal training. Even though I squirmed a few times with the descriptions of the punishments, this is a very well written novella. I give it 5 stars.

What can I say about a book that shocks you and yet, compels you to continue to read. Yes, I should be horrified and I should have dropped my book down never to touch it again, but no, something dark in me forced me to continue way into the night. I am such a naughty girl to read such filth. I will have to have someone pull my panties down and spank my bottom for no less than 20 swats. maybe, 'Papa' will do it.

Well written and the character of Emmie is so excellently tragically written. Great attention to detail and maybe too much detail, but then that is what makes this book so great.

A short read just under 108 pages but so powerful. A must read.

I am a total voyeur. There, to all I am admitting it here. To all voyeurs out there this is book waiting to be read by us all.

Humiliating hot!

I wasn't sure about trying this one as I'm not normally into the Victorian era, but as I do like age play and Zoe Blake i thought I would give it a go!
I have to tell you this was hot!! Poor Emmie just didn't understand what was going on in her life! Between the nursery, the nanny and her Papa she soon learned what was expected of her.
Great read. Looking forward to the second one in the series.

Absolutely not...

Another reader described this as being in the uncanny valley between a horror and romance novella and I can't think of a better way to explain all that is wrong with this story. It has too many horrifying elements to consider the relationship between the MCs to be a romance of any kind. Yet, at the same time, there common romance tropes where it feels like the author is pushing the reader to believe in the relationship that it also doesn't work as a horror story either.

Pure Barf!

The 1 star goes to the nicely written style - Now the book in total -This was so awful-I have read bodice rippers/role playing/master/slave (that I love ALOT) but this Yuck!
I thought this would have more reviews at 1 start-suprised it does not-other dark romances have been dragged for less and I wondered why not this book-maybe is not as popular as other books in the genre-

Why 1 star- What happened?

Several times poor little Emmie is rape (yes raped-she cried/ said stop/begged/ but nothing stopped or changed the H's mind in torturing his bride-which he sorta purchased at 18
Dresses her like a little gir;l all day every day 24/7 - treats her like a baby -bottle -diapers and all.
By the way this story went I believe poor Emmie by 19 will have severe diaper rash and constant diarrhea
I felt ashamed for Emmie and could not even enjoy the read- how awkward

-The diapers
-The exposure in front of a man who was not her Master- humiliating
-The constant punishments by the H, his friend, the nanny, .... you name it
-The bottle feeding
-
Did I mention the diaper LOL
Also I believe
She will soon die- poor nutrition - her food was awful -

BARFFFF!!!!

I felt like running away and diving for the nearest cliff as I read on...

Still, I wonder... will he ever take Emmie outside on a stroller ride?

While I have no problem with age play or D/s stories ( wouldn't read them if I did) and I do enjoy Zoe Blakes writing.
In this one I didn't enjoy the treatment of Emily ( Emmie) as much as I would had she been given an explanation of what and how and why. I can get why an explanation wasn't given by her Papa but for me personally it didn't work.
I also felt that we were just getting into Emmie and Papa's relationship and the book ended - needed a bit more I felt.

Will I continue to read Zoe Blake books? - yep I will.

Totally mind fucked. This is my second book i read from this author. Thank god, its longer than Chosen To Be His Little Angeline and more plot.

So not my favorite genre on reading BDSM, but nicely written by the author on daddy-little girl play.

Totally TPE style where the female has has to submit totally to daddy where she has to pee in diaper. I have no problem with natural calling and be sexually with it, but not peeing in diapers like a baby.

So far ok. Nice plot. Nice story.

Speechless, I really don't know what to say.
It is intense and a bit too much for me.
It is not that I hated it but I didn't feel comfortable or even enjoyed. Definitely a different taste than my normal ones..
Since it is a new style I don't know how to rate it. Overall it was consistent with strong characters across so aside from my lack of story true acceptance, it was well written that it kept me going (i guess). So for that it is a 4

I have read alot of daddy, age gap kind of books but this one is my first book.... Where the main actor lead treated the lead actresses as a little child... And I kind of like it the way the girl was so innocent that she don't know what is happening is kind of excited me the way the lead try to protect her like a kid and at the same time punish her for disobedience... So yeh if anyone know this type of other books please recommend it to me..... ☺

Okaayyyy...this one was a little panty soaker! Mmm hmm... This isn't my kink but I second guessed myself there for a minute! 🤔 Maybe it is? Zoe Blake did an excellent job at giving us a peek at this type of d/s lifestyle. At times, my cheeks turned cherry red. 🥵 Although, a short read, it's the perfect length for this story. it ends just before it gets too repetitive. And if you like smut filled quick paced stories, then HI, FRAN👋...you are in the right place!

This story was not okay! As someone who is in this kink community, I can attest that this does not happen all the time! Usually there is a consent that must be given, even if it is consent not to consent. This story broke my heart while reading it due to the abuse that was being shown. The little should not have been thrown into the midst without knowing more about it.

Age-play is definitely not my kink, but I don’t shame and decided to try this book on for size. The dominance/submissive aspect appealed to me more than anything, and it was a very entertaining read even if I did gasp in shock horror at some parts.
