XOXO, Daddy: A Little Valentine Romance
He calls me baby.
His perfect little girl.
His princess.
Moving back to the town I’d grown up in was the last thing I wanted to do.
But after having my heart broken by my ex, I had to go somewhere, and the job was too good to pass up.
My first night visiting the local club, I met a man who ties my tongue — and heart — into knots.
Adam Stone tells me that my little side is precious. That my submission is beautiful.
He makes me feel protected, loved, and desirable.
He’s also my highschool best friend’s father.
With him I can let my little side come out. I am safe. I am his princess.
But I can’t let him be my Daddy. Not if it means losing everything.
Is the promise of what could be worth risking it all?
Can a Daddy’s love overcome my fears?
His perfect little girl.
His princess.

I don’t mind an age gap or submissive daddy trope, but this one just didn’t do it for me. The teddy bear, coloring and reading children’s books,wearing kid onesies, the pet names that were used for everything, and the constant use of the words “Jeepers” just didn’t do it for me at all. The only good thing about this was it was a quick read. 🙃

Please look at TWs🫶 just in case it’s not your type of thing
This is my first time reading DDlg and it’s definitely something I can’t say I’m into…but I enjoyed the story and love the whole protectiveness the MMC had 🫶 I would have loveddd reading from MMC pov sometimes!
I really didn’t like the “best friend” idk the whole time it just felt like she was painfully annoying and constantly demanding :/
Favorite Quote: “I’m glad to hear it, princess, but you are mine,” 🫣
Definitely recommend if you love

Willow and Adam did not play when it came to feelings of the heart. I thought that the book was very steamy and so much fun to read. I enjoyed the romance of the two main characters through their intimacies. The seduction scenes were very intense, but in a good way. Willow and Adam story was exciting and very sensual. The writer is very talented. The writer captured my attention to so many fun parts of the book. The writing is great and the book is terrific. I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Do I understand the relationship dynamic in this book? No, no I do not. Do I need to understand the relationship in this book? Nope, you do you honey. Whatever toast your bagel. Do I love the supportive, consenting relationship depicted in this book? Hell yes, pop off MMC, consent King. Do I wish other words were used when describing some of the female anatomy and spicy acts (IYKYK)? 100% yes.
July 2, 2024
The dynamics are not what I usually go for, except bdsm and age gap. I give 4 stars anyways because I really loved the relationship and connection between the two MCs, and I appreciated a lot how, giving consent and communicating, are both treated as very important topics

I don’t like the way she treated his daughter. Made me simply not like the book. She had such pick me tendencies and the Debby Ryan hair tuck did it for me
I wish I could rate it 0 stars because that’s what it deserves. The kink is readable but the fmc was so unbearable

I've read alot BDSM, kinky books and I've found something that isn't for me.
Really cute but not something I would read again.

Daddy Girl!
Xoxo Daddy was different. I’ve read many BDSM books before, but never one fully focused on Little life. Once I got use to the kink genre, I was able to read it for what it was worth. A happy “little” love story! Glad to have this new experience!

XOXO, Daddy is the first Novella I have read in a long time--I was drawn in just by the first few chapters and unable to put it down. I would have finished it in one day, but I had to entertain and prep for my Son's birthday party. If you love Daddy Dom/Age Gap and DDLG romances--this will be the book for you to devour. I will admit this was my first ddlg romance--I am disappointed that I never dwelled into them before because this story was perfect as an introduction. Everything felt natural; the relationship between Willow and Adam was hot! I was feeling the emotions of Willow and related to everything she was going through; she was so realistic that you felt drawn to her situations and feelings, which made the plot more personal.
Willow returns home to Providence when getting a job offer she cannot refuse--excited to start over again with her mother nearby, only she is upset to leave her close friends behind. When visiting Club Obsidian, she runs into a man while checking out the Littles Room, only to realize that the guy is her high school best friend's dad.
The possessive protective side of Adam is both hot and sweet--you can see the chemistry between him and Willow just from the first interaction. They felt like magnets with how much they pulled one another; Adam knew what Willow was thinking by her facial expression and tone--he knew her better than she expected. The scenes they did together never needed explanation; comfortability and trust showed they never needed to voice what they wanted or needed to instruct because of how in tune they were.
I never have read Elle Sparrow's books before; this was my first introduction, and I was not disappointed. She has a way of drawing you in from the very first page and with realistic characters. Though BDSM and fetishes were used in the book, nothing about it was filler or just there for smut value--it had a way to lure you in and appreciate the content it was used for.
In addition, XOXO, Daddy is a brilliant and steamy Novella with some exploration of BDSM, Self Love, Taking Risks, and Friendships that explore being open even with the risks of opening yourself up. The characters were relatable and intriguing, never leaving you bored. The dynamic between Willow and Adam was written beautifully.
Please read the trigger warnings before proceeding because the story does have sexual content that might make some uncomfortable--Willow is into Regressive Play. If that is not your thing, you should not proceed any further.

Decu. J'ai aime mais à un moment j'ai beaucoup lu en diagonale car je n'était plus ancré dans l'histoire.
Je n'arrive pas à comprendre d'où sort le problème entre Willow et Alyssa. On dirait un histoire inventé de toute piece seulement pour que les filles soient en désaccord, et que Willow puisse sortir avec le père d'Alyssa.
Trop de faire semblant. La relation entre nos deux personnages ne semblait pas naturelle.

Il m'appelle bébé.
Sa petite fille parfaite.

Retourner dans la ville dans laquelle j'avais grandi était la dernière chose que je voulais faire.
Mais après avoir eu le cœur brisé par mon ex, je devais aller quelque part, et le travail était trop beau pour le laisser passer.
Lors de ma première nuit de visite au club local, j'ai rencontré un homme qui me noue la langue et le cœur.
Adam Stone me dit que mon petit côté est précieux. Que ma soumission est belle.
Il me fait me sentir protégé, aimé et désirable.
C'est aussi le père de mon meilleur ami du lycée.
Avec lui, je peux laisser ressortir mon petit côté. Je suis sauf. Je suis sa princesse.
Mais je ne peux pas le laisser être mon papa. Pas si cela signifie tout perdre.

À l’approche de la trentaine, l’idée de sortir avec un gars dans un groupe et d’être une groupie n’était pas exactement mon idée d’un moment amusant. À vrai dire, cela n'avait pas été mon idée d'un bon moment, même au lycée. C'était la scène d'Alyssa. Je venais juste de faire le tour.
"Je ne pense pas que ça m'intéresse, Lyss, mais merci quand même."
« Oh, allez, Willow ! Vous pouvez trouver un homme bien. Vous avez juste besoin de… vous savez… vous habiller un peu, faire un petit effort avec votre coiffure, votre maquillage, etc. En traversant la table, elle a ébouriffé une boucle de mes cheveux.
"Je suis maquillée", dis-je catégoriquement en haussant un sourcil.
« C'est exactement ce que je veux dire. Oui, vous êtes maquillée, mais si vous faites juste un peu plus d'efforts, les garçons afflueront vers vous. Oh! Je peux vous montrer comment mettre des faux cils !

XOXO, Daddy is a DDlg (Daddy Dom little girl) age gap romance. This is my first time reading a DDlg book and am not well versed on this scene.
The book centers around Willow Ashford and Adam Stone. Willow, a BBW, has returned home to Providence, RI after receiving an amazing job opportunity - Director of Marketing. Her career is going well, and she has a great relationship with her mother, but her love life is currently lacking.
Willow is a little, and in order to find her community, she tours Club Obsidian, a local BDSM club. It is there that she meets Adam, a man who takes her breath away. Perhaps he could be her Daddy? Or perhaps not given that he just so happens to be her high school best friend's father. Willow tries to stay away, but the two have intense chemistry together and when Adam lets her know that he wants her too, sparks fly.
There is a lot going on in this little book. Their shared proclivity is just what we see first. In addition to trying to find the right person for her, Willow also struggles with her own self-image as a person of size, and she fears having her sexual preferences known. There is also the age difference, and her connection to this man who watched her grow up. It seems like she struggles with open and honest communication and is more likely to avoid a situation than work through it... even when she knows that's not the right choice.
I loved Willow's relationship with her mother. And her mother had some excellent words of wisdom including:
"Big problems are just a group of small problems you haven't broken down into achievable tasks yet."
This is a spicy one, folks! I would encourage you to try to enjoy the ride, but if it isn't to your taste, just remember not to yuck someone else's yum. While the author's note is very clear that this book is not intended to be a source of education, I still felt like it opened my eyes to something new, and I thank her for that. I look forward to checking out more of her work.

“XOXO, Daddy” by Elle Sparrow is a captivating and extra-spicy tale that I would have finished in one sitting if it hadn’t been for that pesky thing called sleep. It is a must-read for fans of Daddy Dom and age play romance, as well as anyone looking for a story that is both emotionally satisfying and sexually charged.
Willow is a BBW little who has returned to her hometown, Providence, RI, after receiving a job offer she couldn’t turn down. She runs into a Daddy Dom at a BDSM club – who turns out to be her high school best friend’s father, Adam – and sparks fly.
The chemistry between Willow and Adam is palpable, and their relationship evolves quickly throughout the story.
Sparrow’s writing style is engaging and immersive, drawing the reader into the story from the very first page. The pacing is spot-on, with just the right balance of tension, romance, and character development. The author also represents the fetish aspects of the story masterfully, making it an integral part of the narrative instead of simply a means of adding spice to the story.
The only thing that I think could have made this story better would have been to see the story from Adam’s eyes with an alternating POV.
Overall, "XOXO, Daddy" is a heartwarming and sensual contemporary BDSM romance that explores themes of self-acceptance, communication, family, and friendship while also providing a satisfying and super steamy love story. The characters are well-developed, the writing is engaging, and the fetish aspect is handled with care and sensitivity.
Be sure to read and heed the trigger warnings provided as the story contains sexual contact between the characters while Willow is regressed. If this isn’t your thing, you may want to skip this one.

🌹With Valentine's Day just around the corner, XOXO, Daddy has a beautiful combination of story and BDSM.
⚠️Like all adult romance novels, check the trigger warnings.⚠️
I could not put this book down. I was hooked from the start and just loved the dynamic of Adam and Willow. How he made her feel so safe to just let go and feel free to be who she was. I found it beautiful, from the moment they met and talked about milkshakes, before she realized it was her high school best friends father. As hard as she tried to not let anything happen, sometimes fate has other plans, and this book really proves that.
When Adam and Willow first begin interacting and her negative body image started getting in the way and Adam answered with,
"That is the last warning you are going to get, little lady. No more self-deprecating talk. Period. Do I make myself clear."
I instantly spoke out loud, 'YES DADDY!' because like ... 🥴🥵
I was so glad my partner was focused on his game because I instantly started blushing and just kept reading.
💟 The books that get you blushing and feeling all giggly, are the BEST!! This book is one of those and its a definite must read of 2024!!! 💟

Willow returns to her hometown after getting her heart broken by her ex. A job offer comes up that she can't refuse and of she goes back to her hometown. Everything is up in the air for her at the moment and getting back into a routine she had at her old place weighs on her mind. And to top it off she has a few horrible days at work. She also needs to find a new b*sm club. After finding time to go she can't bring herself to step in the room her nerves are getting the better off her. That's when she's introduced to Adam who's sexy voice rings out behind her. When she plucks up the courage to look she can't take her eyes off the silver fox he's stunning. She wonders if he's a daddy Dom and he also looks familiar, that's when it clicks she know him !! It's her highschool best friends father!
"I'm glad to hear sweetheart, but you are mine."
Willow can't help the way Adam makes her feel, he takes her breathe away. She thinks he can be her daddy! But maybe not due to him being the best friends father. The only thing she can do is stay away but even that proves difficult due to the strong connection and chemistry they share. Sparks fly between the two off them when Adam tells her he wants her and that's she's his.
Alot goes on in this story. The character building was great, but seeing willow struggle was heartbreaking specially with her body image. It was a rollercoaster that's for sure, it's steamy and heartwarming, with scenes off self acceptance, family, friends, love, communication and more..I really enjoyed it..

*was provided an arc for an honest review*
Rating: 3.25/5 (rounded to 4/5)
Trope:
Daddy dom/ little girl
BDSM
Age gap
Plot: Willow moves back to her hometown to be closer to her mom, and ends up finding her best friends dad in a club. She plays a little girl throughout the book, and he becomes her daddy
Thoughts: The premise of the book is cute, I usually like daddy dom books, but I dont think this trope, or just the way it was written was for me. This is the first book I’ve read where she literally acts as a little girl all the time and he is the daddy at all times. I am probably not well versed in this trope, which is not the authors fault. Ive read daddy trope books before but this one was just not for me. She still wrote really well and the spices scenes were…. Hella spicey. I just dont understand why there were little kids in the club as well, in the “little’s” room, if anyone could explain that, that would be great. I have a feeling I just didn’t understand fully when i read that scene. I give this a 4/5 because 1) not the authors fault that as i read this, i determined it is not for me 2). The story was well put together and did have a plot and spicy scenes i enjoyed 3) this book is perfect for someone who loves daddy dom/little girl books like this that are detailed.
Safety:
Virgin/ Celebate: none
Cheating/sharing: none
Triggers: see trigger warning, basically bdsm related.
HEA: yes, daddy provides a special Valentine’s Day for his princess.

Plot: Willow moves back to her hometown to be closer to her mom, and ends up finding her best friends dad in a club. She plays a little girl throughout the book, and he becomes her daddy
Thoughts: The premise of the book is cute, I usually like daddy dom books, but I dont think this trope, or just the way it was written was for me. This is the first book I’ve read where she literally acts as a little girl all the time and he is the daddy at all times. I am probably not well versed in this trope, which is not the authors fault. Ive read daddy trope books before but this one was just not for me. She still wrote really well and the spices scenes were…. Hella spicey. I just dont understand why there were little kids in the club as well, in the “little’s” room, if anyone could explain that, that would be great. I have a feeling I just didn’t understand fully when i read that scene. I give this a 4/5 because 1) not the authors fault that as i read this, i determined it is not for me 2). The story was well put together and did have a plot and spicy scenes i enjoyed 3) this book is perfect for someone who loves daddy dom/little girl books like this that are detailed.
Safety:
Virgin/ Celebate: none
Cheating/sharing: none
Triggers: see trigger warning, basically bdsm related.
HEA: yes, daddy provides a special Valentine’s Day for his princess.

Whoooo dawgie…I’m speechless, which probably isn’t the best for someone to write a review hahaha. I give this book 3.5 out of 5 stars and too many chili peppers to count.
I honestly didn’t know what I was getting in to, and the book left me with all kinds of feels I still don’t know how to explain 🫣 This is a BDSM book with a kink I’ve never heard of and, not gonna lie, I was really turned off at first. BUT Elle has such a way with words that it isn’t even about the actual kink, but the way it makes Willow (the FMC) feel and WHY she reverts to that headspace.
Willow moves back to her hometown of Providence after snagging a job as the head of a marketing department for a pharmaceutical company. She is bombarded with a lot of memories from her childhood and how she was treated - she’s a BBW so people are nasty - and she decides to check out her local BDSM scene to get herself comfortable. Y’all, let me tell you…I was NOT READY. I was not ready to discover her kink, I was not ready for Adam (a yummy yummy silver fox) and I was not ready for the drama. But.Was.Hooked!
This was a quick novella and, usually, I feel like novellas leave me wanting and are written messily; but this was written SO WELL! I would 100% recommend going into this read with an open mind and trying to understand the FMC and MCs reasonings behind why they’re interested in this specific BDSM area…and be prepared to be educated 😆

Age gap romance. DDlg. BBW. Strong independent type women with a successful career. All things I love. Plus a blast from the past in a childhood bestfriends parents.
It was a cute, fun read. I loved the club aspect to it. I loved that Willow experienced real emotions, and while the story was fluffy, there were some hard moments.
It's definitely pretty spicey for a novella.
My rating would be a 3.5, and I did round down. I pre-ordered this book with so much hype. I love the Temple Brothers stories by Elle, I enjoyed A lesson in Begining, and her Omega Triad trilogy was really fun to read. So I guess personally I just thought the book by this authors standards would flow a little cleaner.
Bits were a bit jumpy, problem solving skills were a little questionable, and I didn't feel the real genuine emotions in Willow that the storyline was set up for. Examples: Work seniority with disrespect. Were there repercussions? Aurora, what was the fillow through on that scenario.
Lastly, I did read the trigger warnings. I am pretty obsessed with BDSM, DDlg, and age regression books. However, I was in no way prepared for the sexy aspect and the age regression to go inside in a teaching type manner. I needed a bit of heads up on that.

XOXO, Daddy by Elle Sparrow
Book 5 ⭐️
Spice 5 ⭐️
First, let me start off by saying this book does have trigger warnings, so please be sure to read them beforehand. Secondly, yes, this is a BD$M book. So please do not ick someone else's yum. Lastly, if this is your type of book, be prepared.
I absolutely enjoyed this book and was sad when it ended. I wanted to keep reading it. It is a very good one with a great plot and lots of play, but it also has rough moments as well.
Willow is a hard-working woman who recently moved back to her hometown for a better job opportunity. She may be all business while at work, but she's also something else as well. After the stress of a new job with high expectations, she feels she needs to get back into a routine, so she looks into a club and goes to see how it is. She happens to meet a guy named Adam, who is a handsome silver fox whose voice caresses her in all the right ways. He looks familiar to her, and then she realizes who he actually is! She struggles with knowing who he is but can't help feeling a strong connection to him. He helps her overcome her nervousness by helping her open up.

While age play and the DDlg dynamic may not be everybody’s cup of tea, the lead female character, Willow, is certainly one that many will be able to feel a connection to. As a plus-size lady, she is absolutely riddled with insecurities and anxieties that massively affect not only her day-to-day life but her relationships with other people too, and we get to witness that in this book while also witnessing her being accepted and loved for being exactly who she is.
Alongside the DDlg dynamic, there is also the slightly taboo element of the best friend's dad, but I enjoyed that, and Adam certainly came across as a great male lead. Alyssa, the best friend’s, initial reaction was a little bit predictable but didn’t detract from the story at all and actually added to it as we saw how her reaction seemed to cause Willow to spiral as it confirmed some of her earlier fears.
It was a really well-written story, and I enjoyed the portrayal of the different elements, from the club—both positive and negative—to exploring age play in general.

I don't know... I don't know how I'm feeling after reading this. Turned on meets why am I feeling this way? lol. I'm questioning my morals that's for damn sure. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about the Daddy/Little dynamic. This is purely taboo, and smut - there's not much of a plot.
✔️ Age Gap
✔️ Daddy/Little
✔️ Plus size FMC

I wasn't a huge fan of Bunny, I felt like outside of her scenes she was still immature and childish. And her part of the relationship is what I struggled the most with. But I loved Adam/Daddy - he was older so he knew what he wanted, he was possessive and protective, caring and consent was important (which swoon.)
P.S I'd never yuck anyone's yum. So please don't take my bipolar thoughts as such because I still don't know how I am feeling about the undeniable chemistry between Daddy and Bunny.

This is a short story about a beautiful young woman who is looking for a Daddy for her little. Willow moves back home to be closer to her mother and take on a new job. At the same time, she is looking for her forever Daddy. She visits a local club and find him. Their attraction is instant, but right from the beginning the hurdles seem insurmountable for their relationship to last. There are so many bits and pieces in the story that could very well end a relationship before it truly begins. The author did a great job of addressing each of those pieces in a more than satisfactory way as the story continued through to the end. It was a quick read for me, full of heat and spice about a dynamic that I am not overly familiar with. I would however, suggest that you read the triggers the author has listed before you buy this book. If those triggers do not bother you, you are good to go. Enjoy Willow and Adam’s story. I know I did.

First, I must say that I am not knowledgeable about this type of relationship so I can’t accurately rate this book. However, I have read other books by Elle and know she does her research. Plus, I like her dungeon series with Leviticus and his brothers.
I am not a fan of how Willow and Adam seem to stay in character even when they are not in a dynamic. I feel for as strong as she was professionally she seemed to be very needy. The crying all the time made me want to stop reading. I would like to see what makes Adam tick and how he treated his actual daughter.
I can handle age gaps but the DD, little thing seems to be a trigger for me (and I didn’t think I had any). In the past I just avoided reading this particular kink because it borders a very fine line. I read this as an ARC otherwise I probably would have stopped first chapter. However, if it is something you can tolerate then read it. Elle’s writing style is one that keeps you enthralled.

Honestly I like the daddy kink💋
but the other kink is weird for me. Not my type: the mommies and daddies thing. It just makes me uncomfortable 🤔.
Anyway the plot is not bad but I like Adam. He's a perfect daddy for sure 🥺.
I think it's a bit cringe when it comes to the play of daddy and daughter thing. Like BROTHER EWW WHAT'S THAT🤧 . ( but I respect each kink tbh)
“He’s so big and strong. He’s kind and caring.
And protective. Layla — he’s so protective and fierce with everyone else.
But then when he talks to me? He’s like the biggest, fluffiest teddy bear you
could ever want. And handsome. Did I mention how handsome he is? Tall,
with big muscles and arms that wrap around me perfectly. He smells like a
man. A big strong man. And that smile of his! He just—”( Willow)
“You’re mine. From the moment you said yes, I became
Daddy, and you became Princess.”(Adam)
Adam is my dream daddy tbh 🥹🫶🏻.

For some reason I completely missed the fact that this is DDlg, which I’m not the biggest fan of. I don’t know what I thought this was (considering the title and all, cue massive facepalm). And I skipped right past the author's note. So, that was entirely on me, but I very quickly realized what the book was about.
I did like that this featured a plus size heroine. Love the rep. But, there were quite a bit of fatphobic comments made (by others to the heroine and the heroine to herself). I didn’t see that in the trigger warnings after going back, so just a heads up.
There was also s*xual assault, another thing I didn’t see in the triggers. So another heads up there.
I did enjoy the author's writing overall. So, I think if you like DDlg books, then you might like this. Can’t say for sure of course. It’s also super short and a quick read. Overall, it's a fun read
Not giving this a low rating, cause it's a preference thing. And I think the audience it’s meant for, might enjoy it and it was still a fun read

Elle Sparrow skillfully weaves a tale of self-discovery and healing, utilizing the backdrop of a small town and the local club as the setting for unexpected connections for Willow. Enter Adam Stone, her childhood best friend's father. Adam finds Willow intriguing and perfect just the way she is, but he has no idea who she is initially. Once the truth comes to light, can they navigate a dynamic without it imploding Willow's professional life and her friendship?
The exploration of Willow's "little side" and the delicate balance of submission and love are handled with sensitivity and authenticity. Willow and Adam's characters are equally well-crafted, adding depth to the narrative. The dynamics of their relationship, especially given their unique past, add a layer of complexity that keeps the reader intrigued.

If you want a quick steamy read, this erotic story is for you. This BDSM story focuses on a Daddy Dom and his Little. However, the Daddy Dom in questions also happens to be the father of the FMC’s best friend.
I won’t give any spoilers, but I will say this was a well written BDSM story. Many times, BDSM theme books can be a little over the top; however, I felt this was not the case. While the Daddy Dom and Little may not be my favorite kink, this author was still able to keep me in the story. These characters truly live the lifestyle and are not just visiting a club to get off. The author also did a great job showing the power dynamic between the Dom and their Sub.
I enjoyed this author’s writing style. Her characters are realistic, and the story is a satisfying read. It is well worth your time.
