Step-Boss by Dani Wyatt

I have been a fan of Dani Wyatt ever since I was first introduced to her style of writing way back then and she continues to impress with her latest release. Wanting What's Wrong is a series of standalone titles and Step-Boss is her latest release, which focuses on another forbidden age-gap romance between an obsessive and possessive guardian and his innocent ward. Dani continues to excel at her tropes and the dirty talk between Cade and Lennie was incredibly hot and sexy. Their relationship is complicated because even though he was considered her "step-father," it was always by name. Lennie's mother and Cade had a marriage bound by a contract. They had no relationship whatsoever and were more like friends than lovers. However, her sudden death when Lennie was sixteen years old suddenly thrusted Cade to become her sole guardian. Three years later, Lennie is trying to work as an agent at Cade's company and this is where the story begins.

"You're safe with me. Love isn't wrong baby. And I love you. Forever. In ways you're just beginning to understand."

In the end, I enjoyed this book—especially the hot and intense relationship between Cade and Lennie. I liked that they had eyes for each other since the beginning but never acted on it until she was of appropriate age. He was her guardian and protector but also more. There was a part in the book that was slightly weird and it had to do with Cade's foot but we're just going to ignore that LOL. Overall, the smut and dirty talk was fantastic as always. I wish we had more of that but since this was quick read, I'll take what we can get. Fans of Dani Wyatt will enjoy this story because it features an OTT and dominant hero who is extremely possessive about his innocent and sweet heroine. If you're looking for something quick, sweet, and smutty, you won't be disappointed with Cade and Lennie's story.
