Father Knows Best (A Family Affair #1) by Daisy Jane

 

On their wedding night, Avery's honeymoon gift shatters her new husband Sutton's world, leaving her fleeing in tears, and him chasing her in shock. But when she collides with her father-in-law, the silver fox Geo Mercer, he proposes a solution that will unite the three of them in ways they never imagined. Sutton, the strait-laced heir to Mercer Properties, thought he knew his wife. But Avery's desires seem to challenge everything he thought he knew about her and their relationship. Geo, the charismatic and extroverted CEO, has always regretted the distance between him and his son. Now, with Sutton and Avery's problem, he sees a chance to heal old wounds and save them before they crash. As the three of them navigate uncharted territory, the Mercers discover that love, trust, and intimacy can take many forms. Father Knows Best by Daisy Jane was published September 26th, 2025. This is the first book of A Family Affair series. 

So I have to say this I was asked by The Smuthood and Daisy Jane for my honest review for this advance book. Okay, second thing I need to say, I came so close in DNF this book until a little over half way of the book. I kept saying, "Give the book a chance....give it a chance." I am not a huge fan of slow-burn type of books because sometimes the buildup is slow and can feel dragging. I felt like this build up was slow and a lot of it could have been left out of the book. Actually, I think it could have started at the wedding. Anyways, but I am giving the book four stars. Why....because once I got over the hump of the build-up it took off. This book left me in shock. I was actually shocked to know more about myself that I was totally okay with a father and son sharing. The characters felt a little flat but the story-line once it picked up really helped the speed up. The smut in this book once it got started was amazing. I loved the two different male characters in this book. I also loved how they were in it for each other but for Avery. I recommend checking this book out.

The Sleepover (Clear View Country Club #4) by Daisy Jane

 

Leaving my friends and home during senior year to move to Florida sucks, but when my dad decides to marry his long-distance girlfriend, I have no choice. My first night in Bipal is full of booze and bonfires, and a blue-eyed boy with adorable glasses and a charming smile. Footsies in the sand lead to a walk down the beach, and by the end of the night, I'm a changed girl. The next morning, I came downstairs to find my blue eyed boy sitting at the kitchen table.  We make a pact to leave when it happens in the past. But stolen glances across the kitchen, grazed pinkies in the hall, bumped knees at the dinner table....Pretending I don't want Reed Lancaster is the hardest thing I've had to do...You're not supposed to fall in love with your step-brother...but what if two pink lines are involved? The Sleepover by Daisy Jane was published on July 15th, 2025. This is a part of the Clear View Country Club series. 

I received this book for my honest review from The Smuthood and Daisy Jane. I really enjoyed the plot of this book. I felt like it flowed in a great way and kept me reading the book. I did feel like the characters could have been more rounded in the book. I felt like they both lacked something that made them more rounded. Some of the stories I felt like fell short in what was needed. I also wanted to see more of them trying to fight the feelings between them. But since it's a novella I felt like the book felt rushed towards the finish line. It was a great read though and I was not disappointed in reading the book. I just felt like the plot could have been better if it was a full novel rather than novella. I felt like things could have been stretched out more. Though I will still recommend checking this book out. 

Quotes That I Loved 

"Do you feel bad because you're a good girl?"

I didn't expect to lose my virginity to my....step brother. 

I don't know where Chad Michael Murray is, but even as I teeter the line from buzzed to drunk, I know that this man between my legs is Reed.

Please, Sir (Bluebell Bruisers #1) by Daisy Jane

 

Fleeing to Bluebell is my chance at a clean break. With a new teaching job and gig as the JV cheer coach, I'm excited to start over but more importantly, moving puts distance between my toxic, gaslighting parents and abusive ex. Was I expecting to meet a smoking-hot cowboy who didn't hesitate to suck a splinter from my palm my first day in town? Definitely not, and of course, he's off-limits. Please, Sir by Daisy Jane was published on January 1st, 2025. This is the first book in the series Bluebell Bruisers. 

I was asked to give this book a honest review from the Smuthood and the author. Let me just say that I am a huge fan of BDSM in books and in life. I really enjoyed that the two main characters both were new to the BDSM life and were learning through the scene. But also enjoyed that the author seemed to do some research on the life. How to have safe relations when it comes to the kinky side. The characters in this book are really sweet and I loved Riley and her personalities. I feel though some times her background did not shape her life and forgot about it. Not sure if really works in the book or just a side scene. I also loved the main cowboy and who can forget his daughter. The characters were not as rounded as I liked. I wished I saw more in the background of the main characters. Also wish I could see the struggle more from the cowboy. It's his first relationship after his wife death. This book had so many cute scenes that it helped overlook some of the slower parts. It's good to have some slow parts to help build up the amazing scenes that follow. This book also had me giggle and really enjoy. Though, still not a fan of the guy spitting in the girl's mouth. But I loved the spicy scenes that play out. They are not the main focus of the book but help the relationship between the two characters spread. Though I need to know is there a story about Hudson. I need to see where the female is the dom. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more from Daisy Jane. 

Quotes That I Loved 

I look at my palm, at the tiny pinpoint of red where the splinter existed moments ago. He sucked it out? And then spit it out? 

"This bruise...this is a bruise...of passion."

"Of pass---ooooh.....Passion.....Jesus, she can really throw a punch, can't she?"

"She's not into passionate punching, Jake.....This was from her knee.....She was trying to find her seat and kind of missed the first time."
