CHAINING DAISY is the demonstration that it doesn’t matter what genre Ann Denton is writing. If you pick up one of her books, you’re bound for a smexy good time! 

I inhaled Chaining Daisy in exactly two sittings. While this is a taboo romance between a stepfather and his stepdaughter with a twenty-year age gap, I was actually really happy with the author’s twist on the taboo. That between Gunnar and Daisy is an instant attraction ever since their first meeting, and the reason he marries her mother is completely unrelated to anything romantic, which—for me, at least—made it all a little less…forbidden. 

The chemistry between Gunnar and Daisy was off the charts! A longer book would have helped strengthen the idea of the repressed angst that exists between them, but I was very pleasantly surprised by how much relationship and character development the author was able to fit into such a short book. Don’t be fooled, you still need to work a little to get to the smexy parts, but OMG the wait is worth it! Very much enjoyed the hot scenes, but I also really enjoyed the glimpses of their ordinary interactions outside of the bedroom.

Definitely recommend to all fans of spicy contemporary books who don’t mind a little taboo.

Thank you to the author for gifting me an e-copy. All opinions are my own.

My, what a hot gem of a book!

By now it’s been established that Ann Denton is one of my favorite authors. I simply love the way she writes her characters and the intimate moments between them. Chaining Daisy isn’t any different. Despite being a short book, the characters and their chemistry jumps off the page!

This is my first venture into a taboo romance. Gunnar and Daisy are instantly attracted to one another from the first time they meet, but he winds up marrying her mother, thus shoving their attraction into forbidden territory. However, the fact that his marriage to Daisy’s mom wasn’t romantic (won’t explain the how because you have to read this!) made it feel less taboo. The twist that they met before? I really liked it!

The smexy times were amazing, and I had no doubt they would be. There is a bit of a “daddy” kink, which I’m usually not a fan of but somehow the author made it work here. I’m starting to realize that Ann Denton can do no wrong for me. Her books have made me try reading things and realizing I really enjoy them when they’re written well and I love the characters! But returning to the book, I would have liked to see more deeper moments between Gunnar and Daisy. Those were my favorite part of the book, but the spice (which was amazing) took priority over those. I also would have liked to see more of Daisy’s friends, since the next book is going to be about one of them!

Thank you to the author for gifting me an early e-copy! Opinions are my own.
