Il migliore amico di papà

Forbidden Temptations

by Sofia T. Summers, Ilaria F. (Translator)

È troppo giovane per me. Troppo innocente per me.
E sono amico di suo padre.

Gesù, e se tutte queste ragioni non fossero abbastanza convincenti...
Ho promesso alla mia defunta moglie che non avrei mai più messo su famiglia.

Ma cosa avrei dovuto fare quando Izzi si è praticamente lanciata su di me?
Fare appello alla mia moralità e spingerla via?
Sono un potente miliardario, ma di sicuro non avevo la forza per farlo.

E così, ho fatto quello che avrei voluto per anni.
Ho divorato le sue strepitose curve.
Sì, sapevo che ci sarebbero state delle conseguenze.
Ma non sapevo quanto sarebbero state estreme.

Come se prendere la sua innocenza non fosse stato abbastanza scandaloso...
L'ho persino messa incinta.
Quella stessa parola mi fa venire i brividi lungo la schiena.
Non voglio un altro figlio... ma voglio Izzi.
E questo conflitto potrebbe essere la mia fine.

She's young, forbidden, innocent and the daughter of my good friend. Oh and did I say 'forbidden'? I loved Izzy and John's story. She' d been in love with him for years and was determined that he'd be hers once she grew up. He'd been celibate since his wife died in childbirth. He concentrated on raising his twelve year old daughter and running his successful startup. Their attraction is strong and their chemistry is off the charts even he tries to fight it. He feels that there are so many reasons they shouldn't be together. Age, her father is his best friend and he should concentrate on his daughter. Lots of torn feelings, anguish, temper tantrums, jealousy and did I say DRAMA. I read this book in one sitting as it was impossible to put down once I began. The characters had a lot of depth and were likable. I found myself pulling for them to have their happy ever after, which they did. The book has no cheating, no cliffhanger and a sweet happy ending in the epilogue. I read a free copy via Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review it.

Honestly I should of put this book down when I found out it was a kind of secret baby troupe.

John is a jackass.
Izzi is very unlikeable.

This was such a slog to get through.

This was pretty awful as far as age gap romance goes. The main male character, who is the older one, acts way more immature than his age, likely than even half his age. He is no catch in my opinion. What a horrible person! The female main character, the younger one, is mature beyond her years. In fact, at 16 she is saying things like she's never been more turned on in her life (just how turned on could a 16 year old have gotten?) and as a newly deflowered virgin she just had the best sex of her life. Plus her intuitive nature with regards to him and how to dress, behave, etc and how he looks at her and is likely thinking, it is too much to be real. Plus she not only tolerates his horrible behavior after he takes her virginity and again immediately after having sex at his house, she initiated the communication again. And let's not forget the classic "How did you let yourself get pregnant?" line.

This "hero" was no hero to me. The only reason I gave this two stars is because the sex was hot.

But I won't be reading anymore from this author after this disaster.

Simply Sex!

CONTAINS SPOILERS!

This was one of the worse age gap baby romances I've ever read. Not only will I stop reading that genre but I will also delete this one from my Kindle after finishing this review.

You always know that sex will always be involved in an age gap romance. I've never read a clean age gap romance, but have read those without vulgar, descriptive sex and nothing else going in. However, this book was full of descriptive, graphic sex using the same vulgar words. For intelligent, educated characters, they all acted worse than a misbehaving 10 year at times - they all lost control at the most inopportune times.

John is a 48 year old widow with a 12 year old daughter and is the best friend and business partner of Garrett. They very successful and wealthy owners of some type of tech company. Izzi is Garrett's 21 or 22 year old virgin daughter who has just finished college. She has loved Garrett since she was 16. She was now home interviewing for a job at the company. Her ultimate goal was John.

Of course she gets the job. She was well qualified having interned at 4 different jobs during the summers before graduating. The book goes downhill from there. Izzi implements plans to seduce John. Nothing works even though John is secretly lusting after her and is ashamed.

Finally, John and Izzi attend some conference together as she was the only person left in marketing. Izzi had inadvertently caused the two employees of marketing to resign. Even though she didn't mean for them to retire, she made the best of the situation. John avoided her at work but she was determined to seduce him at the conference. She proceeded to do just that.

She and John ended up sharing a room after she caused her toilet to malfunction. She knew that the hotel was full because of the conference. She immediately put her plans into action and seduced John. John said that it would never happen again, words he couldn't back-up. After having sex with her, he was angry and blamed her.

After the conference, in spite of John avoiding her, she still planned to continue to seduce him. Things got ridiculous. John continued to avoid her, but seemingly lost his mind if he saw her talking with a man at work.

How could a 48 year old man who hadn't had sex in 12 years suddenly lose his mind over his best friend's daughter. How could they engage in sex at the most inopportune times and inappropriate places - on his kitchen counter while his 12 year old daughter was upstairs sleeping or on the desk in her father's office.

Of course Izzi got pregnant. Why would Izzi plan for years to seduce John but never planned for any type of birth control? Why would John have unprotected sex with Izzy more than once, especially knowing she had been a virgin? There was no talk of any type of birth control.

Yes, there was a HEA after more unreasonable things happened, namely her father finding out. I can't even say that the book could have been better. I was turned off by so much that happened in the book, especially the sex, which was not sensual lovemaking.

I want to start off by saying I had no idea what this book entailed I just knew it was Dads best friend and I always enjoy those. The book starts out with them together. I almost DNF’d it. I need to see the relationship develop. I gave it a little longer and ended up finishing it. Chapter 1 goes to days before and explains how all
that went down in the prologue. Izzi had been away for years at college and comes back home and wants to work at her dads company. Who is his business partner? John, the man Izzy has been in love with since she was 16. I really wish they would have started it when she was 16 when she realized she loved him and then time jump to present. I didn’t have much of a connection with either character. Izzi is so much younger than John but yet seemed so much more mature and knew exactly what she wanted. John had been through something heartbreaking 12 years prior and he hasn’t moved on from that. He was so back and forth the whole damn book and then when he realized he couldn’t be without her it was so anticlimactic. For a 200 page novella I think we could have had less office talk and more character building and getting more connected to the characters. It was a super quick read and I’m not mad I read it.

Okay so here are some things I didn’t like about the story but they are for sure spoilers so don’t read ahead if you don’t want to know.

Izzi has loved John for a long time and I’m pretty sure he never looked at her that way. John was married 12 years prior and seemed happy. Unfortunately during childbirth he lost his wife but they were able to save the baby. During the book he is raising his 12 year old daughter alone. I really loved that part. The part I didn’t like was the fact that he is soooooo scared from what happened but then proceeds to NOT use protection when sleeping with Izzi. John never thought twice about using a condom EVEN WHEN KNOWING HE JUST TOOK HER VIRGINITY! Like WTF???? THEN he gets mad at her for not being on the pill 🤣🤣 it laughable really. John also had a best friend Penny who was clearly waiting around for him to finally be ready to move on. John doesn’t look at Penny as anything more than a friend and is just mind blown when she tells him her feelings. EVERYONE knew but him 🤣 the dude is immature and not too bright either. I do like that he went to Izzi’s father and told him his feelings for her. Obviously it didn’t go well but it showed at least a little bit of maturity and respect for his best friend.

I did like the “drama” with Andrew (Izzi’s boss) even though that could have been done a little better. I love to see a jealous male main character and we got to see that even if it wasn’t what he thought it was. Izzi only had eyes for John and I loved that.

All in all it was a decent 200 page novella and if you don’t mind secret pregnancy and a man who can’t/doesn’t what to move on from his deceased wife then give it a shot. It is a HEA!

DADDY'S BEST FRIEND is part of the FORBIDDEN TEMPTATIONS series and that says it all! John's world was definitely turned upside down when Izzi, his best friend and business partner's daughter, came back to town all grown up after graduating college. The story is told in alternating chapters by Izzi and John and the prologue set the stage for the steaminess that was to come and the epilogue gave some closure to the story although I wish it would have gone a little further. John definitely wasn't the responsible party in this arrangement. Izzi, who was decades younger, took the lead in more ways than one but both were very irresponsible at times. There was anger from John but not as much remorse as I would have expected considering how he kept pushing Izzi away one minute and drawing her in and having his way with her the next. His behaviors were sometimes heart wrenching to Izzi especially when she kept putting everything on the line.

The book was choppy at times with lots of twist and turns. The business part of the story seemed to have a lot of loose ends. I liked Izzi's relationship with John's teenage daughter, Angelica, and how Izzi was a good influence for her since she didn't have a female role model since her mother had died. Of course, Angelica had no idea what was going on behind closed doors! There's a happily ever after that was surprising in how touching it was if you can ignore the age factor.

Ms. Summers is an author whose books I've enjoyed but the steaminess often takes me out of my comfort zone.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Isadora "Izzi" Greene & John Goodfellow. When this book opens we find that John is finding it hard to connect with his teenage daughter. He just doesn't know what it takes to get her to open up to him. Being a single parent is hard it is even harder when you don't know what to do to be a part of your child's life. To make matters worse when he comes to work the one place he finds as his safe place he finds his business partner and a woman he would really like to get to know better only to realize it's his business partners daughter. No matter how hard he tries now all he wants is the two of them in some very compromising positions. What he realizes though is she has a sharp mind that will really be an asset to the company if only he could quit fantasizing about her. Izzi has worked hard to get her marketing degree. She interned at a few different places just to get the experience from them. Her main goal though to work in her fathers business. Oh ya and to get John to notice her as a woman not just his business partner and friend's daughter. She is all grown up and knows who and what she wants and will do just about anything to get them. Will these two find a HEA or is this a recipe for disaster?

This was a great story by this author. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

This is a love story between John an older man and his best friend Garrett’s younger daughter, Izzy who has just graduated college, moved back home and wants a job at his company along with doing something with the crush she’s had on John. When Izzy gets the job, John is one to help smooth over the way and boy is he shocked to see Izzy after 4 years and what a beautiful woman she has become. John lost his wife when their daughter, Angelica was born and he raised her as a single man. John has a great friend in Penny and Garret I’ve the years and when John does not return Penny’s interest in wanting a relationship things are rocky between them. When John and Izzy are on a business trip Izzy does everything in her power to be with John and they spend an amazing time together only for John to realize what he did and is mad at him for allowing it to happen. Angelica is having trouble with becoming a teenager and Izzy is the only one she wants to talk or get along with. John and Izzy can not stay away from one another and he goes hot and cold with Izzy and once she discovers she pregnant them being together is just another obstacle to get through. Izzy is determined to have the life she wants with John and does what is necessary and shows John and her dad what’s most important their love for one another!

Cute but... not as original as I had hoped for.

I haven't read enough age-gap romances to become completely jaded, but after reading this one, I think I'm now at that stage though I thought I had way more books to read. Yes, I didn't want to read any more angst on either side. Yes, I wanted people to be honest and open which they were in this book. I even wanted more than just the evil villain remaining the evil villain which didn't in this book. Amazing, huh? You'd think I'd be over the moon!

I wasn't. I'm not saying this is a bad book. I wished she could have warmed it up with intimacy. That's what was missing in this novel. Oh, it was sexy. It was romantic. But real intimacy was missing.

I would have had an editor reviewed this for grammar, punctuation, and spelling, by the ways. Ran into too many things that bogged down my reading.

The sexy scenes were good, but I had a lot of issues with the characters.

Izzy was immature and manipulative. She didn’t act like she was 21 years old, especially when talking with her friend. She flushed a loofa down her hotel toilet in order to spend the night in John’s room. This is after he told her they couldn’t be together for many reasons. But Izzy didn’t care; she was relentless.

John didn’t act like a 48 year old man. He was utterly powerless to Izzy’s charms. I guess I didn’t find her appealing so I didn’t get it. He was so clueless that he didn’t notice his “best friend” Penny was in love with him for 12 YEARS! I couldn’t believe he told Penny he slept with Izzy on their work trip after he suspected Penny wanted more from him! How did he think she would react??!

Where was Izzy’s mom? We never hear from her.

Penny went from trusted friend, to jealous psycho, and back to trusted friend by the end. She was the first person John told about sleeping with Izzy and about Izzy’s pregnancy. What???

John was sexy but didn’t treat Izzy well at all. He was mean and cold to her after each time they slept together. He was a total dick after Izzy told him she was pregnant and said it was her responsibility to tell him she was on birth control. Jerk.

Another wonderful story and a great first book in the new series Forbidden Temptations that will keep you turning the page till the end. This one follows Izzi who has come home from college and is determined to work for her father and his best friends John's company. Izzi has a second agenda to get John to notice her and fall for her even if he is her father's age. She has been infatuated (in love) with him for years.
John is a widow and single father to a twelve year old daughter and never plans to get involved or married again. Then he sees Izzi and is shocked by how grown up she has become and immediately is drawn to her. Their back and forth,up and down banter will have you wanting to shake them..... well especially him.🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I must say she was a spitfire, determined and fierce when she put her mind and heart into a situation.
I loved her relationship with his daughter Angelica.❤
There story is hot, steamy,sexy with drama, cattiness, jealousy, heartache, love,healing and forgiveness.
I received an ARC from the author through Booksprout for my honest review.

Living A Full Life -
John has just been surviving on work and looking after his daughter since the death of his wife, but one look at his best friend’s daughter as an adult and his heart began beating again. Izzi’s crush on John started when she was a teenager, but she never thought anything would ever happen between them, even though she was now all grown up. Sit back and relax, then read about how a young determined woman goes after what she wants, by navigating all the obstacles placed in her path, convincing all the doubters and then succeeding at her endeavours.

This is a feel-good book that is not only about romance, but shows the strength and determination of a talented young woman strife to not only achieve success professionally, but also fight for what she wants personally. This book is going to be another successful addition to Sofia T Summers portfolio, as you will definitely enjoy reading it.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. If this book is to go by, then I am going to really enjoy the Forbidden Temptations series. This story is about a taboo attraction between Izzi and John. They have a lot working against them such as their ages, he is a long time friend and business partner of her fathers, he is her new boss and he has vowed to never have more children. She has pure determination, grit and need to fuel her actions towards him. He soon realizes that to deny her is to deny his heart. Izzi ends up with more than she bargained for and everything that she ever needed. I enjoyed this book. It was well written with characters that are perfect for each other even with the differences. I look forward to what Sofia brings us next to read

John and his best friend were co-owners of a successful company. He was a widower whose wife had died giving birth to their daughter who was a preteen now. Izzie had been in love with her father’s best friend and business partner all of her life so when she went to college she purposely avoided seeing him. When John saw Izzie for the first time when she was twenty one he was immediately attracted to her and wanted the younger woman until he realized who she was. Izzie and John’s exciting and interesting romance was filled with emotional trauma with John’s past, a meddling and jealous wannabe lover friend, age gap, HR issues, best friend issues as well as other issues that they had to over come before they could ever have their HEA.

Really enjoyed

Overall this book was awesome but lets start with the negatives and the reason for 4 stars. This book had so many typos I just couldnt give it a full 5 star rating. I hate when this happens because the book itself is so freaking hot. But holy hell the typos. If I wasn't so into the story i probably would have stopped reading halfway through. Other than all the typos this book is hot as hell and the story plot is freaking awesome! I loved the back and forth with the characters and how the chemistry they shared just came to life! The sexy scenes in this book were 🔥 but that goes back to the typos. When you're so engrossed in the characters getting it on then all of a sudden the sentence doesn't make sense and you have to keep rereading it. By then the moment has died lol. It is a really good book tho!

[Veronica · Rating 3 out of 5]

What I liked: Nice vocabulary Very few grammar errors. Story was entertaining, heroine was not that immature for her age, hero was hot, gentle. I liked also the interactions the FMC a had with the daughter of the MMC. The period chapter was very sweet. What I didn’t like was there are pages and pages or inner thoughts and not enough dialogue between characters. It drives me nuts when stories happen in the head of the characters and how they are supposed to be falling in love when there is not communication, exchange of ideas?. Epilogue was good. HEA no cheating, just jealousy. Overall a 3/ 5 stars. I would recommend the book to everyone that likes a mild spicy book with a plot. 🌶 2.5/5 and want a fast easy reading. Other readers who don’t mind the inner thoughts might give the story a higher rating.
Would I read this book again? No, once was enough.

I really enjoyed reading Daddy's Best Friend by Sofia T Summers because it was such a great story about Izzi and John. They had known each other forever. John was Izzi's dads best friend. Izzi was secretly in love with John and made it her mission to seduce John. They had worked together at the company that John and Izzi's dad owned. Izzi was extremely persistent in pursuing John. He tried desperately to stay away. I wondered how it would all work out. I wondered what would her dad do when he found out? It was a very steamy story that had me on the edge of my seat wondering how it would all play out in the end. I would highly recommend reading this story!!! It was fantastic!!!

I have to be honest, I wasn't sure, after the beginning, that I would finish this book, let alone finish it. But I plugged along. Getting to know the characters and understanding their relationship. Once I had done this I became invested in the characters and their story. I think what affected me negatively was the relationship between Isadora and her fathers Best friend.

I know, "Duh! Didn't you read the title of the book?"

Yes I did. But I had agreed to read this book is I was given a free copy to read and review so I had to go through with my commitment.

I still don't think this is up to par with the rest of the author's books but it is worth the read. John, Izzy, Garrett, Angelica and Penny are interesting characters. here are very good dynamics between the characters.

Izzi is the daughter of a father who owns his own comapy, with his best friend. She wants to work at his work place. Not only to show her dad her skills but to get the man she has always loved to notice her. That man is John, her father's best friend. She has loved him for years but will he feel the same?

This was interesting. Izzi is very determined in everything she does. She is bold, brave, relentless. It's great to read about. John being scared is how anyone would feel after they lost someone they loved. The way her father Garrett acted was not necessary. Penny was definitely something else. I didn't expect that at all. Emma is the best friend everyone needs in their life. All around it is a beautiful story and it ended perfectly.

[Becky · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was an ok book. There were some pacing issues. And I struggled with John and his relationship with his friend Penny and how clueless he was about social cues. I felt like the characters were flat and not truly flushed out. There seemed to be a lot of things that were for angst and only on the surface with out real thought and meaning to their part in the story and character development. I also struggled with the lack of relationship through all of it between Izzy (MC) and her mother. Izzy's sounding board Emma and her placement into the situation was odd also. Izzy went to college with Emma in San Francisco, but Izzy has returned home to Seattle... did Emma move back with her? These are just a couple of story inconsistency that bugged me with the book.

A good dad's best friend/forbidden romance , must admit Izzi is one determined young woman who knows what she wants , John her dad's best friend is the one she wants and fights tooth and nail for him , and yet you can understand why he acts like he does , especially when he finds out Izzi is pregnant , i didn't like Penny Johns friend at first but she did come through for him at the end and gave him great advice , a lot of ups and downs and bumps in the road and him treating her badly but i thoroughly enjoyed reading the book , one to read

Wow! John is a standup guy who is trying so hard to deny his feelings. Izzi is going after what she wants which is, John, her dad's best friend. Sexual chemistry that is scorching hot but can they get past their obstacles to be together? What a great story and even I can feel the characters tension as I read. All the ups and downs make for a great read. I love that Izzi is a strong woman with a career who goes after what she wants. Who said it is always the man who can does the seducing and is the strong character.

I did like this book. I thought Izzy was bold going after John like she did. I can see why John fought it and also gave in. Izzy seemed very sure of herself when she went after her dad's friend and business partner, but I liked the fact that she knew what she wanted. John being the older of the two should have been more careful to not get Izzy pregnant. This was a good story and it flowed really well. I was engaged and could not wait to see what happened when Garrett her father found out. I really liked this book.

Izzi comes home from school and decided she wanted to work in her father's company. He isn't to happy about it, so Garrett lets John, his best friend, to interview her. Little does John know how consumed Izzi is for him. Once Izzi starts her job, she decides to seduce John and is very determined to have him as her man. This is a good story to read!
