Pepper North’s ABC Towers kicks off with the boss of Edgewater Industries himself.
Easton is a patient man,and he knows it’ll pay off in the end.
When his assistant Sharon finds a replacement for when she leaves,he trusts her judgment.
And meeting Piper,he knows she made the perfect choice.

Piper has longed for a Daddy to call her own,but the one she ended up with,was a poor excuse.
Gabriël was abusive because he used her needs against her for his own gain.
Using her to find a way into the company she worked.
And when she discovered what he’d done,she ended their engagement and fled to her parents.
Only to find she wasn’t safe there….and neither were her parents as long as she stayed with them.
So,she found a new job. At the ABC Towers.

It was hard to believe that Easton was the man he seemed to be.
After all,Gabriël had fooled her too….
But the more she sees and hears,the more she started to understand that,yes,there were Daddies that took care of their littles the way she longed for.
Could Easton be her Daddy?
Or would Gabriël find her,and ruin everything?

A sweet story,with a little splash of danger.
A story that shows there’s someone out there for everyone…..
And it left me curious to what will happen with Sharon…..and who will become Knox’s little….

I received this book from a Goodreads Giveaway.

Piper has to flee from her job and home when her ex-fiance and Daddy, Gabriel, breaks into her work computer. Gabriel was the first man to ever recognize Piper's needs as a Little and now she's worried she can never trust anyone again. Then she meets Easton, her new boss and a Daddy.

This story is super cute with a suspenseful twist that keeps you reading. The characters are fairly one-dimensional, but it makes the story to be a quick and enjoyable read.

I received a free copy through BookSprout and I’m leaving this review voluntarily.

Pepper North is the DD/lg Queen and this book doesn’t disappoints.
I really loved the characters (both main and side), the ABC Towers, and the story.
I look forward to reading more books in this series.

What an amazing story! This was my first ever “Daddy” book and I have to say I was cautious going in. But let me tell you this book had everything I never knew I needed! A heroine escaping a bad situation and a daddy that anticipates her every need… ummm… yes please!

Yeah. Not my thing. I’m not I to call g women “little”s and saying “are you my daddy?” Just over the top for me. The whining and then the spanking was just so far fetched the way it happens is not fun nor exciting. It sS. Free book, but I couldn’t stomach it. Lol.

Now you will have to read his wonderful book to see if Easton finds his Little Girl. This book will make you want to go to work for Edgewater Industries. Enjoy

The couple: Easton and Piper

Romance trope: DD/lg
Series: ABC Towers
Length: 180 pages

Plot: Piper is a highly efficient administrative assistant when she meets Gabriel. He recognizes her as a Little right away and sweeps her off her feet. It was too good to be true though; he was using her for access to her company and he has become obsessed with keeping her as his fiancee. She manages to get away and finds another job as the assistant to Easton, head of a successful company (that happens to employ a lot of people in the DD/lg dynamic). He wants to be there for her in every way, but it will take time and patience after the trauma Gabriel caused.

Commentary: I was surprised that the backstory about Gabriel and what he did to Piper took up so much space. For a moment, I really thought he was going to be the hero of the story (I imagine this is what the author intended). I did find the story about the lady she was replacing having to switch to taking care of her husband with dementia both sweet and sad.

Next book in the series: Daddy's Watching

1/5 overall
0/5 spice
.5/5 humor
0/5 emotional

This story was so unbelievable. First time she meets Dude 1 and without discussing anything or any prior conversation he knows her Daddy fantasies. He picks her up and just declares he's her daddy and she's his little like the whole world is just made up of either daddy's or littles. So they go out on this date and she has a seafood allergy - and instead of you know, saying something, she ignores that fact and eats the shit anyway... which can be deadly! Like wtf? The way it progressed did not bring the story together good at all. The world building sucked too there was no info on how he automatically knew her fantasies either. There's no connection to the characters, you can't relate to them. Hell we don't even know them. There's no emotion or feeling from them. I don't believe or feel when the FMC is mad I am just told she is mad and I'm expected to believe it because its written and expected to understand that feeling

The whole thing is so immature. The characters themselves have no chemistry between one another. Dude 2 wants a literal baby and the MC acts like a child anyway. JFC IDK wtf I just read. She's talking to her stuffed bear 'hanging out with her best friend' since forever... telling this bear how jealous she is that dude 2 is on a business meal with a woman and the author LITERALLY writes 'the bears eyes darken slightly and she knew what he was thinking' like WTF? This bear now is alive? It goes on to say more rando shit like the bear is alive. NO ADULT acts like this. At least mentally sane adults this was just so bad

Like how do you run from dude 1 to a new place, get a new job where NO ONE knows you and yet somehow EVERYONE at this new job knows automatically before they even met you that you are a little and dude 2 is your daddy. It wasn't something on the job application because she was surprised they know. THEN apparently everyone who works there is either a little or daddy. A whole community she happened across running from dude 1. I DNF I literally couldn't it was painful!

Was this suppose to be satire? A joke? Its literal poooop. a joke to people who have that kink. This author did no research. Its obviously a middle school project or something. Eeeeek.

Daddy’s Waiting is the first full length book in the ABC Towers series, and it directly follows the events in the prequel, Escaping. Piper gets a new job as Easton’s personal assistant, but is her new boss, Easton, too good to be true? Easton has waited a long time to find his forever Little, but will she give him a chance to show her she’s safe and how good it can be between them?

Ohh this book was so sweet and I am so excited about a new series from Ms. North! Piper and Easton had such a fun dynamic between them, as he showed her that it’s okay to be Little, that he can be trusted, and that she’s in a safe environment. The last man that Piper dated called himself a Daddy, but he was a twisted version of what a Daddy should be. Piper had to start to trust herself again, had to see the value in herself again, and find the joy in being a Little again with a Daddy she could trust. Easton was so caring and patient with Piper. But he showed that he was what a Daddy should be - setting boundaries and being selfless. I liked them together! I liked how they supported each other and had love and respect for one another. This book was pretty fast paced, seemed to flow well, and I really enjoyed the beginning to the new series. I look forward to more and am already excited about the next one in the series!

Since age play can be a bit yes/no for me, I'm always a bit wary of reading Daddy Dom books. I know that they're two distinct types, but there can be quite a bit of overlap. Since I've read some books from this author before, I felt cautiously confident that I would enjoy this regardless. After reading the blurb I was quite excited. I liked the idea of a Daddy waiting for the right Little, for his Little to enter his life. There was that, but in many ways the book was not what I expected. Piper was in a bad relationship and had fled to a new job, bringing her to Easton. I know that it's reasonable to provide backstory for Piper for the reader to understand her history, but I was a bit disappointed at the amount of the book given over to her pre-Easton life. By having such a large portion of the book about Piper's prior relationship, it ended up feeling very rushed for me, when she finally met Easton and commenced her new relationship. Almost like it was Piper's story, and nor Easton and Piper. I would have preferred lesson part 1, and more on Easton and Piper's relationship. That said, it is a great entry into a new series and provided lots of characters for future story opportunities.

Simply wonderful start to this amazing series, great characters and plot
I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this amazing book; the charters and the plot were simply wonderful and I cannot wait to read future books in this marvellous series. The characters in this book have story of their own prior to them meeting each other and about the abusive relationship that she has been through.
She has been through so much and then has finally found a man that is a real Daddy one that will take care of her and will help her and will care for her and the relationship between them is more that you can possibly imagine and the interaction they have is simply wonderful.
This is a marvellous read and I assure you that once you begin reading you will not be able to put the book down until you reach the last page of this book.
I do not want to spoil the plot so will say no more about the three of them, I assure you that you will enjoy every single moment of this book.
I assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

Too confusing why things happened. and a few plot mistakes. The mmc is way too perfect t and saintly.

Not sure how to write this review without giving the book away. I did like parts of it, but I paid 77p for it on BookBubs, I wouldn’t want to pay £3.99 for it. Piper is very weak and is almost a doormat at times, and she’s extremely annoying. I still can’t decide if I like how it was written. There are a few plot mistakes that definitely spoilt it. For example Easton is driving into his business grounds admiring what he’s created. Yet he lives in an apartment next ho his office. Did he drive round the building? 😂 It’s way too confusing why Piper’s ex did certain things as it was really obvious he had done it and it didn’t make sense.

Then there’s Easton. Easton and his company are sickly sweet. His employees get full health coverage straight away, they don’t pay for anything in his pharmacy or his cafe or restaurant. It’s just beyond ridiculous and unbelievable. He sees Piper and knows she’s his, and she’s just broken up with her ex yet she’s soon drooling after Easton.

It’s all too perfect and I’m sorry but I didn’t enjoy it that much. It was okay to read in the middle of the night when I had insomnia.

This is my first daddy/little kink book.

Piper is a lead admin assistant for a company when she thinks she meets her perfect Daddy. Within no time they are engaged. But things unravel quickly when things start happening at work. Piper needs to get away. She flees to a new job and a new town. Where she meets her boss and his company. The company is like its own city. Everything they need is within the buildings on the campus. Even medical. Piper soon learns that her new boss is a Daddy and he has his eyes on her. Is she ready to do this again? Would it be like the last daddy?

She is his before she even knows it. There is no denying it. They have unfound chemistry between them. Hopefully, she is a good little and will accept him as her Daddy. Easton is committed to keeping her safe. When her former daddy threatens her, Easton steps in and offers Piper a relationship - when she is ready. His heart already knows, he just needs Piper to follow her heart too.

This is not a kink for me. What threw me off was the nursery. I was over and out on that one. I liked the connection between Piper and Easter, I love Knox and Pete!!!

Great Read!!!

I enjoyed reading Daddy’s Waiting(ABC Towers Book 1)!! All about Piper Townie a young women in her twenties who is a Administrator Assistant for a CEO & Easton Edgewater who is CEO and a Daddy to a Little. Piper stepped in to an admin position when her mentor left to deliver her baby. Her company did a presentation to Gabriel Serrano and he took a liking to Piper. Turns out he used and abused her to his advantage, to gain favors at her job. She had to flea & hide to get away from Gabriel. She applied to Edgewater Enterprises for a exclusive & safe environment. She was hired as an Administrator Assistant to the CEO Easton Edgewater. She not only works here but also lives on the premises and never has to leave. The security & technology is state of the art. Read about Piper & Easton as they explore there work relationship & their Little Girl and Daddy relationship. This story has two distinct part! First part has some serious allegations associated with it. Second part has lots of Little ways of life throughout the store. There is lots of emotion and toe curling incidents throughout both parts!!! Definite Read!!!

Easton Edgewater owns and runs Edgewater Industries. He's in need to a new administrative assistant and Piper has come to interview.

Piper Townie is running from her stalker. She needs a job and so interviews for an administrative assistant job. Little does she know that her true Daddy is waiting.

Loved loved loved this story!! This is the first book in the ABC Towers series (it includes the prequel). Pepper North has always been a one click author for my Daddy fix but this brought her up to a whole new level!!

Piper was a lost Little in need of care and Easton did not disappoint! Easton was definitely my kind of Daddy. (Hello Silver Fox! 🤤) He was there and gave Piper a safe haven and all the TLC she needed. The chemistry was so good! It went a little darker than what I'm used to with Pepper and I absolutely LOVED it!! Can't wait for the next story! 🖤

So good !

Such a great intro to a new series, " Escaping " really laid the groundwork for this book. Piper escapes her ex fiance and thankfully lands right into the safety of Easton CEO of his company. It's a masterpiece city for Littles and Daddies a judgment free zone to work, live and express who you are. Piper is finally safe as all Easton's employees are dedicated to care of Littles but Knox goes above and beyond he's totally lovable. Piper had been through lots of emotional stress and fortunately Easton falls for her immediately. He's there to provide for whatever she needs, healthcare, pizza and new friends but mostly patience he helps her get through all her inner turmoil and her believe in herself and of course to love again. It waa totally sweet. I'm in love with everyone in the ABC towers. Just a super good book.

Cozy as a cat nap on a blustery fall day! Ms. North is a go to author for readers who need to get lost in the arms of a deliciously doting and stern daddy dom. *Le SIGH*. I had to stay up 'til three to read the suspenseful parts and ended up wishing I could go get a job at Edgewater Industries, and live in ABC Towers, the wonderful world where littles are kept safe, fed pizza, and get taken over a knee when they’ve been naughty. BONUS: you can visualize the HOT silver fox on the cover during every toe-curling scene. YUM. This story flows flawlessly, written by a true master of her craft so that every sentence goes down like a spoonful of silky, whipped cream and leaves you wanting more. You’ll be pulled into the pages and you won’t want crawl out until after you’re done. And even then is too soon for the delicious treat of a tale to be over.

I listened to the audio version and it starts with the reading of the Prequel story Escaping before beginning reading Daddy's Waiting. It threw me for a minute because I didn't realize it. I have reviewed Escaping before so I will move on to my review of Daddy's Waiting.
I love the pace of the story and how they don't just dismiss the danger that is found at the end of the Prequel. I also like the idea that Easton would have done what he could to protect Piper even if they didn't begin a relationship. Their relationship moves quickly but this is a story and not real life. I love how he shows Piper the differences there are between a true daddy and a poser. He is also willing to wait until she is sure of her feelings. I also love all the other wonderful people we meet in this story and I can't wait for more from this series.

This story is split into two parts. In the first one, which is about a third of the overall book, Piper meets Gabriel who quickly becomes her Daddy. Turns out his intentions weren't good and she ended up running from his threats. In the second part, Piper finds herself with a new job and place to live working for Easton. Many Littles work at his company and he takes care of them along with many other Daddies who work there.

Piper has troubling trusting her developing relationship with Easton, but things move along quickly. Although she is a Little, this story focuses more on the aspect of her working as a professional administrative assistant. There is very little time playing as a Little, except for snuggles and conversations with her stuffie. There are no bottles or diapers for Piper, but Easton is clearly her Daddy.

Second book the ABC Towers series, on pins and needles from the first book, Escaping. Piper was running from her would be Daddy, when she found out how dangerous he could be and how her family was in danger. She ran to a new life, job and surrounds, would this work, will she feel safe - all these questions were answered in this loving and thoughtful story of chance. Mr Easton Edgewater, big shot money maker, seems down to earth, was preparing for his assistant, Sharon, to take a leave for perosnal reasons, when she pushed thru an applicant for the position that she felt could do the job or was she match making. Find out when you read this cute read and see if she is safe after all and will there be a HEA and who is going to be next.

Easton has waited so long for his Little girl, and his outgoing executive assistant believes she has found not only her replacement, but the perfect Little girl for him. Piper Townie is running from a terrible fake Daddy, who took advantage of her. She gets the job, and an apartment to stay in, and Easton agrees she is the one. Piper will have to learn to trust again, and luckily, Easton is a patient Daddy.
Pepper North writes the perfect books to escape into. Sweet HEA's, spicy and steamy scenes, and a world full of happy Littles and their loving Daddies make for delicious stories. This one is no exception. I just loved Easton and Piper! This is five stars all the way, and well worth the one click.

I received an advance review copy of this book and am leaving my honest review.

Piper finds more then a new job

The minute Easton Edgewater meets his new assistant he knew Piper was more and he was happy he listened to his former right hand employee Sharron to hire Piper as her replacement. Now the only thing that needs to happen is Piper acknowledges her Feelings for Easton. My only problem with Daddy’s Waiting is that it ends to quickly. You are going to fall in love with these characters & their stories. You will finding yourself Wishing you could be Easton Edgewater little girl. Thank you Pepper for another amazing story/series full of love & happiness in the end.

Pepper never lets you down!

Imagine a very protective and caring daddy and a scared abused little. This book will make you cry but you will love it! So much emotion wrapped up in this book. Piper has been abused and is scared to trust again, yet she craves the care that a true daddy will give. Easton has been searching for his little for a very long time. When they meet it is explosive. Easton knows he must use extreme caution and patience with Piper and he does so beautifully! This story is well written and the characters are awesome. Pepper North has managed to put a lot of heartfelt emotion into this story and it makes it so captivating!

What an enjoyable story! The character, Piper, is so endearing that you can’t help but want to hug her! She had a bad experience, and comes to work for Easton, a very rich, handsome Daddy. He’s been looking for his Little Girl for a long time. Is it possible that Piper is the one? Can he show her that being with him is the right path for her to be on? I enjoyed their interactions and how kind and gentle he is in showing her that she is his. Piper is hesitant, but there is something about him that attracts her. As I read, I hoped these two would end up together. If you want to know, then read this wonderful story!

Oh goodness, Gabriel is an interesting man. It was fun watching him stun Piper. How and why does she meet him? What does Piper not say that lands her in hot water at the restaurant? Holy smokes, 15% of the way into the book and my mind was blown!! Why do my spidey senses tingle by the end of Chapter 6? Who are Easton and Sharon? How do they know one another? The end of part 1 was intriguing. I found myself really liking Sharon! The differences between Gabriel and Easton were HUGE!!! Oh, this was such a fun read! I am so happy I came back to the beginning of the series! Enjoy the read! Pepper North does not disappoint.

Great Read!!

I loved this story.
The characters in this book are so up beat and pleasant.
This is a great easy to read story that continues from Escaping (ABC Towers).
Show how and why Piper ended up at working for Mr. Edgewater.
This story shows that you can not trust anyone without knowing them very very well, whether it be a Dom or a Daddy.
Piper made that mistake once and she never plans on doing it ever again (but never say never).
Sharon has other ideas as Piper is hired as her replacement.

I read an early review copy of this book for an honest review.

Piper had to leave everything she knew behind, her job, family, and friends, when her ex fiancé and daddy, Gabriel, broke into her computer and betraying her trust. Now she’s trying to heal, and then she meets Easton, her new boss, and a daddy. Piper isn’t sure if she can trust someone again, can Easton’s tender care help her to open herself up once again? I absolutely loved Easton and how careful he was of Piper, and giving her time to heal. I thoroughly enjoyed everything Piper and Easton’s story and highly recommend it.

So good, this book was just so good! From the moment I opened the first page and read the first sentance till the moment I read the last one I was so invested as the story it unfolded I just couldn't put it down. Piper thought to herself this is not how love is suppose to go but running from her abusive fiancé is the only way to keep her and her family safe. Now that she is working for a man like Easton it's like a dream coming true and if she is very lucky she has found the love that she has been searching for.
