Disappointing Daddy
This is the second book in the Western Daddy Doms series by Allison West (after Her Billionaire Daddy) and sadly, this is also the second book of that series that Iāve given 2 stars. I think itās time I give up on this author as sheās clearly not a match for me.
Lexa was a fairly likeable character in the beginning – or certainly not offensive in any way. However, she weakened as the book went on, which was greater highlighted in comparison to the very minor character of Harper. Harper was a strong, confident woman who knew her kink and enjoyed participating in it – but she didnāt let it overtake her personality. It was a shame Lexa couldnāt have been more like her. Asher was equally as okay as our male lead. At times I felt he was a little condescending towards Lexa but it wasnāt so much that I disliked him or the pair together.
The writing was decent and I was engaged for the most part. I didnāt give up on the book and read through to the end – only skimming the sex scenes. There were several instances of words being used that were downright strange. I noticed many occurrences where I would mutter to the author: āI donāt think that word means what you think it means.ā
I found the story itself to be very erratic and somewhat poorly paced. And the āpointā of the story really wasnāt clear. Was it about the sheriff as the big bad? Or was it about the hunt for Martinās lost brother? Or was it about Asher and Lexaās love story? No to all, it turns about – as none of these storylines get fully finished by the end of the book. I see the next two books in the series feature related characters so perhaps youāre supposed to want to read them after this one. I think you can already tell that I will not be doing that. We also get lots of instances where things happen to move the story in a certain direction but they make little sense. Like when Asher brings Lexa to the club rather than his house to keep her safe from the sheriff. The sheriff knew exactly where she was so she was no safer at Western Daddies – but at least she could join in the shenanigans! Sigh.
“…to the author: āI donāt think that word means what you think it means.ā “
Speaking of shenanigans – surprisingly, the book wasnāt as chock full of sex as I expected. Thereās a couple of 1 on 1 sessions between Asher and Lexa, a few where they get it on alongside other couples and 1 scene where Lexa has multiple male partners including Asher himself. None of them titillated me to any sort of degree and I started to skip past them quite early on. Thereās a lo-o-ot of talk about anal sex – which is so not my bag – although I donāt think they actually did it in the end. I may be wrong – I was skimming those scenes, as I said. And although thereās group sex, both of our couple are involved in that, so some people might be put off as, at the beginning, we get a sex scene between Asher and a woman who is not Lexa – with Lexa not present.
Iāve read and enjoyed DDlg books before but there was something about it in this book that made me uncomfortable. Lexa turns from someone taking charge of her own life into someone who cannot make any move without the say-so of her Daddy. But it was more the fact that Lexa called him Daddy in front of other people who werenāt part of that world (that we knew). Imagine meeting a colleagueās wife and then having her call him Daddy all night right in front of you. Shudders with the cringe! And then the author herself just started referring to Asher as Daddy in the narrative (which is written in third person) – it felt like I was intruding on a personal fantasy of hers rather than reading about our coupleās romance. And other than the name, and some spanking, there was more of a group sex / voyeuristic vibe going on than a DDlg one, in my opinion.
With all that said, this book has a very high rating on Goodreads, so perhaps it was me that it just didnāt click with. If it sounds like your bag and you like the DDlg, voyeuristic, group sex with cowboys vibe then give it a go. I didnāt love it but I hope you do. Just 2 stars from me.
