Capture Dream Daddy Engineered By Daly Thompson Shown As Script

sometimes love just isn't enough, Tansy, This is one of those times, "

Well, this book was surprising, It started out horribly and I was convinced I would hate it, The heroine's name is Tansy Appletree, Yeah.

And she is a nosy, manipulative, conniving woman, I didn't like that. She manipulates the hero a lot, I think this is supposed to be 'cute,' but it's not cute IMO,

Ian is supposed to be a grumpy grumpy man, but unfortunately, Thompson they make that have shades of misogyny.


"Hire her, "

"No way," Ian growled,

"Why not"

Because she's too short to have any brains, and besides, she's way too energetic.


I didn't know if I was going to be able to finish this trash.


Last thing in the world he wanted to do was hand this audit over to a woman.
Okay, so he sounded sexist, but he wasn't, He just didn't trust women, not really, and he felt that way for good reason, They were undependable.

But then after this, Thompson they leave the misogyny behind, Poof! It's gone, and never rears its ugly head again, Weird. I'm NOT surprised they included it in the first place, Thompson they struggle with sexism, they always put it in their books.


So. I was not crazy about the hero or heroine, Neither was I interested in what these two were doing sexually/romantically, I couldn't even believe they were falling in love, They pretty much despise each other, Then they started kissing for no reason, Moreover, I didn't even believe they were physically attracted to each other,

For one thing, Ian does not seem like the type of man to have sex.
He hates and mistrusts women, His mother was a feckless alcoholic who cruelly abandoned him at a young age, He lives on the outskirts of town, on a sheep farm, He shuns human contact, except with his two brothers,

I just couldn't see him suddenly deciding to have sex with a woman and all the burdens, responsibilities, and entanglements that come with sex on a whim.
Thompson DID NOT present a convincing case as to why he was doing so, Some authors could nail this I've seen it done and done well, especially in historical romances but here Thompson are just floundering.


It was not convincing to me, Not only did I not believe Ian would choose to have sex, but if he WAS going to have sex, I did not believe Tansy would be the one he would have it with.
She is a manipulative, scheming, cunning woman and if I were him I'd want to run as fast and far away from her as possible.
Not get in deeper with her by having sex with her, It didn't make any sense,

Same from Tansy's viewpoint, Why would she want to have sex with this man Beats me, shrug I mean, sure, I guess Thompson they tell us that he has a great body and is handsome, but fuck that shit.
The only thing I think is attractive about him is the compassion he shows in hiring people on his farm.
He has a deaf foreman, a disabled housekeeper, and a disabled handyman, This clues her in to the fact that Ian might be a good person despite his gruffness.
But I need more. MORE. Thompson are not really convincing me that Ian is a lovable hero,

He handed her a cup of coffee first, Black, without asking her if she wanted cream or sugar, which was fine, because that was how she liked it.
Black and strong.

It's rude, Then he cuts his coffee cake with a ruler, I'm just not seeing the appeal here,


But you said this book surprised you, Carmen,

Yeah. Even though I didn't like the two main characters very much, and I bought their love story even less, I was worried and anxious when they were threatened by outside forces.
As you know from my review of sitelinkOne of a Kind Dad, Ian, Mike, and Daniel are not bloodbrothers.
They became brothers, and even changed all their last names to the same one Foster, after they became adults and got out of juvie and the foster care system.
What happens when that is threatened to be exposed Also, what will happen when Ian's horrible alcoholic mom shows up again Is Tansy's political career and asshole father going to kill any chance of Ian being with her

I was surprised to find that I actually cared about the answers to these questions.
So, I can't give this book one star, despite its problems,

Also, this is one of the RARE, RARE romance novels where I feel like the hero and heroine break up for actually good reasons that make sense.
Before the big reuniting at the end, Most romance novels invent some bullshit excuse why they can't 'be together, ' But in here, it was actually valid, Points.


Why is this book called Dream Daddy

The answer to this comes out of left field suddenly at.
Very tacked on. It was as if Thompson were struggling to come up with some excuse for the 'Daddy' part of the title.



HOW'S THE SEX, CARMEN

Bland, vague, and undescribed,

Condoms are used, which is good, Another thing I liked is that the

MCs have sex multiple times only the first time is onpage but it's not one of these books where the MCs have sex and then just stop having sex for no reason for weeks.


I also like how Ian waits to get permission from Tansy before kissing her a second time.


When she drew closer to him, Ian's breath quickened, He realized he wasn't listening to her, that his mind was on nothing but her mouth, her scent, her small body he wanted so badly to hold.


" all right," she said.

"Sorry "

"It's all right to kiss me, "

The shock made him whirl toward her, Her lips parted, and he accepted the gift she gave him,

I'm cringing at this writing, but I do appreciate the concept,

Here's the sex, you can see how bland, vague, and undescribed it is,

Ian had been thinking about making love with Tansy since he'd arrived at her apartment.
Actually, he'd been thinking about it before then, In fact, since meeting her, he'd spent pretty much all of his time thinking about ravishing her.


Carmen snorts Ha! Ravishing her, That's rich.

He leaned down and returned her kiss, then shifted them slightly until they sat on the sofa.
Once settled, he started to draw Tansy closer, but as usual, she beat him to it, She scooted until she was sitting on his lap, facing him, Somehow she managed to do this without breaking the kiss,

Tansy Appletree was one talented lady,

Ian wrapped his arms around her and deepened the kiss, sliding his tongue inside her mouth to meet hers.
Tansy murmured a little sound that he took for approval since she pressed herself closer to him.
She wove her fingers through his hair, holding him to her as though she'd never let him go.


He had no idea how long they kissed, but finally, he couldn't take any more.
He let her go and leaned his forehead against hers,

"I'm sorry. This is getting out of hand, "

His breathing was ragged, as was hers, She nodded. "Yes, it is. " She slid off his lap and took his hand, "Come on. Let's move to the bedroom, "

It was the last thing Ian had expected her to say, "Are you sure"

Tansy's smile convinced him she was completely sure, It was all the invitation he needed, He stood and took her hand, following her through the narrow hallway to the bedroom in the back.
Once there, he wanted to tell her how beautiful she was, how desirable, but he couldn't come up with the words.


Thankfully, Tansy didn't seem to want to talk, She started kissing him again, and soon they were both on the bed, their fingers fumbling with each other's clothes.
He kissed and caressed her carefully, slowly, wanting her to know she was special, that she meant a lot to him.
He'd never been a man who was good with words, but he was good with his hands, so he showed Tansy exactly how he felt about her.


DESCRIBE, PLEASE,

When they were both frantic with need, he took the condom she offered him, then joined them swiftly.
Their lovemaking was intense and powerful, and when it was over, Ian realized something remarkable had happened here tonight.


DESCRIPTION. WHY IS THERE NO DESCRIPTION

For the first time in his life, he hadn't just had sex, he'd made love.
It was a powerful feeling, one he liked,

Still not buying this man having sex, in the past or now,

He gathered Tansy close, covered them with the blanket they'd kicked to the floor in their passion, then fell asleep.


You can see why I am not excited about this sex,


TLDR Actually got involved in these people's problems despite my better judgment.
Even though this got off to a dismal start, I actually was rooting for these two to make it by the end.
I did not particularly like either of them, nor did I believe that they would fall in love or want to have sex with each other, which is why this is only getting two.

The reason my grammar is off in this review is because "Daly Thompson" is actually two people, not one.
