Publisher's Summary

Jackson Kane has always had a special place in his heart for Lydia Morgan. After her father's death leaves her alone in the world, Jackson provides her with room and board in return for help around his ranch. But his generosity is met with one act of petulant rebellion after another, until she finally pushes him too far and he decides it is long past time to take her over his knee.

As embarrassing as it is to be spanked with her panties down like a naughty little girl, it is when Jackson makes her call him daddy that Lydia's cheeks truly blush crimson. But a bright red backside is just the start of Jackson's plans for Lydia, and soon he is bathing her, baring her in the most intimate way possible, and bringing her to a shameful climax right there in the tub.

Over the coming days, Jackson sets about teaching his little girl how easily her daddy can make her quiver with need, but when the ranch faces financial trouble can Lydia find a way to help?

Publisher's Note: Daddy Takes Charge includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

Lydia & Jackson

Amelia Smarts does it again with Daddy Take Charge. Each time I have the opportunity to listen to one of her books, I fall for the whole situation, lock,stock and barrel. This story brings together to people who have known each other for years. Jackson employed Lydia's father for years, and now feels a responsibility to keep her on at his ranch until she leaves for college. These two are like oil and water, bringing not only the sexual tension to an all time high, but the daddy in Jackson. Smart write with strong women and Lydia is spunky and smart. She is a fun to watch evolve into a confident woman who loves with her whole heart and a spanked bottom! Jackson is overprotective, bull headed and the one of the best male characters Amelia has written. This sweet, sassy story brings love, compassion and a firm hand to the warmth of your heart.

Matthew Keyes is a new to me narrator and I enjoyed his performance. He does Jackson with that alpha protectiveness, definitely giving him that daddy feel. He can then change and provide Lydia with the young, brattiness that she brings in to be tamed. He gives us an enjoyable listen!

More D/s Than Daddy...

Meh. Lydia and Jackson's story is ok - I don't know all the nuances of daddy kink, but this came off more as D/s than daddy and little girl. I did appreciate that Lydia did show a good character arc, even in the short amount of time allotted in the story. I also appreciated that she did not buck against the dominance that Jackson showed, but recognized it as something that she wanted. I have no real qualms with the story, I just didn't feel the emotional attachment to the characters that I need to thoroughly enjoy and be invested in the story. There are also portions of the narration when the sound quality was obviously less than others and that detracted a bit from the listening experience. 3 out of 5 wine glasses.

Lots of spanking

This book was pretty good except there was a lot of spanking. Clearly Jackson cared for Lydia but punished her at every little infraction. He was a gruff person but Lydia softened him. Jackson tried to fight his feelings for Lydia. In the end, he could not fight his feelings because love got in the way.

Matthew Keyes did a good job with the narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Bored by the end

I was bored by the end of this one, as much as it began rather interesting. The female lead was just so childish in the beginning that she annoyed me but her personality matured unnervingly fast and although the story was interesting for a while I felt myself becoming more and more disinterested. I didn't even finish it.

5+ stars

I loved this book. what I liked best the the very fine line that Jackson holds between authority and tenderness. Now add in Lydia and her stubborn streak from loneliness and you have a combustible couple. I recieved this book for free in exchange for a honest review, and honestly this book was so dang good. So if extra bossy men are your thing then get this book. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did. Happy reading!

Not so good

I’ve listened most all Bridgewater County novels. This is the first one that I just flat out didn’t like. The male “ Dom” character for me was unlikable and had a boarder line abusive personality and attitude. The other characters were pretty much inline with the feel of the previous books that I’ve listened to.

Not Worth the Credit

The synopsis was great and I was really looking forward to listening but within the first few pages, I was done. The story did not grab me and the narrator left much to be desired. A good narrator can usually push me through a mediocre story but not in this case. Save your credit for a different author.

Good

This was a good book. With a good storyline and strong characters. I liked how the leading lady changes completely once she gets a taste of this Alpha. A great performance.
