Wooed by Daddy by Stella Bella
3.0
2.5/5 stars
I really enjoyed Stella’s Wicked with the Professor novella, so I was looking forward to this one. Wooed by Daddy is a decent, spicy, quick read. It didn’t hit the same as the Halloween short story, though.
Kelly has been wronged by her mother plenty times over. Naturally, she’s relieved when her mother passes away and can no longer hurt her. Kelly’s stepfather, Grant, is upset when she can’t seem to let bygones be bygones with her deceased mother. He knocks on her door hours after the funeral and wants to know WTF is going on. The attraction seemed to come out of no where here. I really didn’t feel chemistry - or anything - between Kelly and Grant before he pushes her against a wall and goes to pound town. His abruptness afterwards is just that: super freaking abrupt.
When they meet again, it’s on a blind date. Kelly is eight months pregnant, but seemingly able to hide it with her dress. Grant has constantly thought of her, but knows nothing can happen between them and has pushed her away. When Kelly realizes who her date is and says she should leave, his tune changes. Now he’ll do anything to keep her. Again, it feels rather abrupt.
I mostly enjoyed the spice for what it was. Dirty talk is my thing. I love it and am always here for it. Grant’s dirty talk was fine until it wasn’t, and then it was a little cringey.
Wooed by Daddy didn’t feel taboo to me,, considering Grant was only her stepfather for two years and she was already an adult. Although, this is rather subjective since my taboo-o-meter generally leans toward the super taboo side.
