I think there should be a trigger warning, some people will not be able to handle the kink. For me this was a good book and informative. I’m not new to submissive and dominant roles in kink. Though it taught me about little, middle, and daddy. I highly recommend this book if your open minded. If your not open minded don’t start something you can’t finish.

Cutter: Devil’s Spawn Daddies by Victoria Saccenti- 4 out of 5 stars

This book gives you a look into the interesting world of BDSM. It also contains DDMG play, which personally I could take it or leave it. The chemistry between Cutter and Emily was off the charts, there is no doubt about that. Cutter is a Daddy Dom, while Emily is a middle. If you like dom/sub type books them I recommend giving this book a try.

When I picked up this book to start reading, I hadn’t read the description or the reviews at all. I saw the name of the author and that was enough. I was completely surprised by the BDSM element to the story but I think the author portrayed it really well. It entirely changed what I was expecting from the characters and it was great to just be taken along for the ride.
Cutter was definitely my favourite character. I connected with him instantly and I loved the growth we saw throughout the book. For me, the author has created one of those characters that carries the story with ease. I really enjoyed reading this story.

Emily has worked hard to get were she is and now she requires a blast from her past to help her bring this horrendous MC down, but will Cutter help her and can she keep her attraction towards him under cover. She has always remembered the man who as a rookie she could not help but will she redeem herself now.

Cutter is always in the cross hairs of the law, they deem him trouble and he lives up to the reputation but he is unprepared when sitting in the integration room and in walks the woman of his dreams, but when she asks him for a favour all he can dream about is the reward he may get from her.

This is not the first book I read by this author and it definitely not the last, this story is more than just BDSM and role play but it gets into the two main characters flaws and quirks and how there past played a part in the future for them.

This story is full of twists and turns and is well written, with the elements of the chemistry which flies off the page and is great to watch the relationship development and explore the world of DD/LG which was interesting to read as I had not really read much in the way of this Dom/Sub role before.

I really enjoyed the book and can’t wait to read more by this author in the future.

I had really high expectations for this book as I love the MC genre but I had trouble falling in love with this one. At times the characters were a little confusing and I never felt like I had my hook where I just lost myself completely. This was my first go with this author so I am willing to try more and see if the spark comes!

When I picked up Cutter and saw the series name Devils Spawn daddy’s it kind of peaked my interest, but I wasn’t really sure about it. I have read this author before and know for a fact that she can write! She knows how to draw you in and will keep your attention but, I mean motorcycle clubs, heists, guns, drugs, cartels, and Littles, or Middles, where do they fit into all of that. Enter Emily Mayhew, a newly appointed police detective. Her and Cutter had met on a previous bust when Cutter took the blame for Blade when he injured a guard in a warehouse, and both have been obsessed with each other since. Cutter is arrested again and Emily takes advantage of that by asking him to work for the police to infiltrate a rival MC who works with the cartel. Cutter and his MC is trying to change their 1%’er status and do more good agrees to help. I’m pretty unfamiliar with this trope and it isn’t really my jam so I found a few parts of the story a little hard to follow but I loved Cutter and His and Emily’s chemistry was undeniable and Victoria’s writing made this just what I was looking for, not to mention steamy.

Cutter: Devil’s Spawn Daddies by Victoria Saccenti is a contemporary romantic suspense with a DDLG dynamic (she’s a Middle), BDSM, action, danger, chemistry, tension, angst, emotion, dramatic developments, mystery, secrets, intrigue, and more.
Cutter and Emily have quite the tale to tell. They have an intriguing past history that gives this story an extra layer. Things get quite intense when they team up- and not just on the ‘mission’ side of things. Their chemistry certainly sizzles. These characters are well- crafted into fully realised individuals with their own unique quirks and flaws. Both our MC’s have their own complexities- which adds an extra element of angst, emotion, and interest to the story.
Even though I am not a huge fan of the DDLG (middle) genre, it came across well in this story- but I did have trouble connecting with the characters and that was frustrating as that didn’t allow me to fully immerse myself in their ‘world’ or fully invest in them and the overall outcome of their story. But that might just be a ‘me’ issue- so if you love DD/LG and romantic suspense, then you might want to grab a copy of this and make up your own mind.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Victoria Saccenti!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cutter is a suspenseful and action-packed tale and the engrossing first book in the MC Devils’ Spawn Daddies series.
Victoria’s narrative draws you in to the BDSM world with Doms/Subs that is seductive and enticing. It contains DDMG play which I can take or leave but a dark and sexy world of BDSM and hot and sexy men are some of my favourites.
The chemistry between these two is off the charts and it interesting to see the dynamics play out in their play.
Emily has stepped up in her world and needs his help more than ever, but can she get him to help her after what she did. Who can she really trust.
Cutter is a Daddy Dominant, and he once again comes face to face with someone who has taken the spotlight in his fantasies many, many, times. When she reaches out to him will he go along with her plan, or will he walk away.
With plenty of action, suspense, drama, danger, tension, angst, emotions, and secrets it is a dangerous and deadly time as they try to take down an MC who are known for trafficking humans and much more.
I can’t wait for the next book.

This was a very interesting read for an MC story. Cutter is looking for his Little and thinks he’s found her in his sexy detective. An interesting relationship to follow. This was a fairly new trope for me. The premise of the story was well-written. Watching thse two work out their issues was worth it. If you enjoy MC and the Daddy dominant/submissive trope, this would be a good book to read.

But then the pretty cop who slapped cuffs on him years ago walks into the interrogation room. Only now she’s a detective, and still the brunette bombshell who lives in his Daddy Dominant fantasies.

It also requires a tight perimeter of secrecy to keep her jealous colleagues’ dirty fingers out of it.

Ross
By: Victoria Saccenti

This is a wonderful book that focuses on Ross. Ross is hung up on Hadley, who he let go despite of being in love with her. When Hadley reaches out to Ross for help neither could anticipate what all is going to happen. This book is definitely dark and twisty, but every page leaves you wanting more. There is so much to this story from the more complicated topics to the chemistry that literally jumps off the page between Ross and Hadley. Both characters are fantastically well developed and really made me enjoy the story even more. I definitely recommend reading this story, but note that there are trigger warnings for drug abuse, sexual abuse and physical abuse.

Ross has his regrets in life his most potent is letting Hadley get on the back of his brother’s motorbike 4 years ago, at that time in his life he thought it was the best decision being in love with your brother’s girlfriend is not the done thing. Four years later, Hadley reaches out to him to recuse her daughter but can Ross shut off his feelings and leave her in her world of the devil or can he truly tell her the truth he wanted to say all those years ago.

The night Hadley jumped on Steve’s motor bike and left Ross and his mother was the hardest thing Hadley had ever done. Knowing deep down her heart was with Ross, she thought she could eventually love Steve. When Steve upgrades from petty theft to prospecting for an outlaw Motorcycle gang her world descended into the evil horrors. Her only salvation is getting her daughter out of this horrendous situation and her angel is Ross.

Ross arrives and sees the abuse that his brother has physically inflected on Hadley but not aware of the sexual abuse he decides to recuse both of them and hopefully he can follow his heart and hopefully ,make a home with Hadley and Lacey, the only thorn in the side is if his brother follows them and decides he wants her back but at the moment Ross would gladly teach his brother some manners.

I have read the other books in this series and this one does not disappoint. I love the forbidden love aspect between Ross and Hadley and it smoulders on the page, with his Alpha dominance which was there is part but his softness towards Hadley was lovely to read. My lord, I love the way Hadley was strong and still independent after what had happened to her and that she was not going to let it beat her which was brilliant to read.

This book does have triggers of Drug abuse, Sexual and Physical abuse but the way the author has written it adds a shock value and lets you know what has contributed to this strong female character and her journey but is not shocking enough for to you not read. As always the characters are well developed and enhances the story and can’t wait to read more.

This is the fourth book in the Central Florida Series and even though they can be read as standalone reads I feel one you’ve read one you will want to read then all.
This author does an amazing job of opening the world of BDSM up to the reader in a way that goes deeper than just the sexual kinks. The author shows us the actual relationship side to these types of relationships and how loving and protecting they can be. This story is full of angst, danger, steamy chemistry and a connection to the dom/submissive relationship that can’t be denied.
This is Ross and Hadley’s story.

To Ross, Hadley has always been the one who got away. Unable to deal with his feelings he enlisted to get away hoping the time apart would make his feelings less but on his return he finds her planning to go on the run with his brother. As much as he wants to stop her and protect her he knows he has no right to so he let’s her leave.

Fast forward and Ross is moving on but he has never forgotten her and often thinks about her. When Hadley gets in touch with a cry for help Ross knows that this time he will stop her from making a mistake and he will protect her from anything that threatens her.

Hadley has known nothing but pain since leaving all those years ago. Now she finds herself in a unsafe world of a Outlaw MC with her daughter. Knowing she needs to find a way to protect her she reaches out to the only person she knows she can trust. What she didn’t expect was that not only would Ross rescue her daughter but also her as well. Over the years though Hadley had built walls to protect herself and she isn’t so keen to tear them down. The girl Ross fell in love with no longer exists or so she thinks.
As their relationship progresses and Ross’s protective, dominant Daddy side comes out will this be just the antidote that Hadley needs to recover and learn to love again.
With the added danger of the people they escaped trying to find them will Hadley and her daughter ever be safe? And now that Ross finally has her how far will he go to protect the woman who has always held his heart.
This book was a real page turner for me. I loved the characters and the way they complimented each other so well.

Hayden and Ross’s story is a great story. The DDLG dynamic isn’t my cup of tea, but I do know enough of the dynamic, to say that this was written wonderfully. Brought back into Ross’s life, he finds a letter from Hayden, begging for help. The last time he had seen Hyden was when she was driving away on the back of his littler brother’s bike. Finding out that his little brother was the reason why Hayden and her daughter in trouble boils Ross’s blood. He goes to rescue her and her daughter. But sometimes, the past doesn’t stay in the past. Recognizing that Hayley is a middle, his Daddy Dom kicks in and helps Hayley try to heal the trauma that was done to her. There are some TW’s so I suggest checking the author’s website to see if this is the book for you!

Although it was a bit slower at the beginning, it picked up quick about 25% through and I couldn’t put it down. I fell in love with Ross and Hadley’s characters right away. And enjoyed watching their dynamics/relationship progress throughout. I have yet to read the first 3 in this central Florida stories series but now plan to. (They can be read as standalone’s). Also, really loved that it wasn’t just “kink” but they did some education on subjects and explained things quite nicely and respectfully.

Definitely intended for more mature audiences(read the trigger warnings).

Ross met Hadley through his brother Steve. Steve and Hadley were dating but, Hadley really didn’t know any better. She came
From a messed up family. All she really knew was Steve and his mother Abigail. Abigail always treated Hadley like her own daughter and they had a special bond. One crazy night, Ross is home from the service and Steve is out of control. He decides he’s leaving and takes Hadley with him. By going with him, her life changes for the worse for the next few years until she reaches out to Ross! Hadley is literally being tortured physically and sexually. Ross of course chooses to rescue her and be the hero. It was never a doubt. He always had feelings for her but she was much too young for him and aside from that, she was his brothers girl. Now,
Nothing will stand in his way carrying out the request she writes in her letter accept there’s a tiny chance. Not only is he coming for Lacey but, he’s not leaving without Hadley.
I really don’t understand how someone can go from that type of abuse to playing in that daddy dom / middle / little play. Just a bit strange. All In all I thought the book was pretty good.

This is the fourth book in the Central Florida Stories series. These books can be read as standalones, but I do recommend reading the entire series as there are characters which interconnect.
The author was able to portray the emotions of the characters very well, to the point you can’t help but get emotionally invested in them. The trauma that Hadley has experienced (as an example) and how this has affected her, changed her and the danger she’s in tugs at your heartstrings, you want to jump in and take the pain away.
The descriptive narrative paints vivid imagery that makes you feel you could step into the world alongside the characters and experience what they do.
I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Hadley and Ross, the chemistry was evident, and the progression was believable. The character development was also enjoyable and believable.
This is was enjoyable read and contains doms and subs and BDSM so if this is not for you be aware of this. I’m hoping for more soon!

Ross had always loved Hadley, but worried he was no good for her. He was so concerned about protecting her from himself that first, he enlisted, and then, he watched her ride off on the back of his little brothers Harley. He never forgot her, though – and he never stopped pining for her.

Four years after watching her back disappear on that bike, he is surprised to get a letter from Hadley. She’s begging for his help to rescue her daughter from a MC gang that is dangerous, and Ross realizes as his protective instincts kick in that he plans to save them both.

Hadley has had many things happen to her in the past 4 years and has built nearly impenetrable walls to protect herself and her spirit – but she adores her daughter and would do anything to protect her. When she starts thinking of how to save her, she thinks of Ross and what a gentle giant and caretaker he always was.

After rescuing the woman he loves, he realizes it is going to take a lot of soothing, protecting, loving and supporting to get Hadley to open up to him and it’s just what his Daddy Dom heart desires. As he’s keeping her safe from those who mean to shut her up for good, will he help her heal her heart?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First, you can read this as a standalone novel, but you’re doing yourself a disservice to not go back and read the first entries by this author. Her writing style is enjoyable no matter the level of intensity throughout the story she is weaving.

Ethan is from a wealthy family who has mostly taken his own path, but it doesn’t make him any less rich and entitled than if he had stayed enmeshed with them. He has dominant desires and can generally pick his conquest that would be interested in what he offered from across the room. When he gets roped into attending a gala on behalf of his father, he spies someone from across the room who gets his attention immediately.

While she proves to not be the woman who was pursuing him for his abundance and hurt him in the past, she is her sister and looks startlingly like the one who damaged him. Siena sets off Ethan’s interests and ideas the minute he sees her, and he hatches a plan for revenge. When he begins sleuthing and finds she is in a dire situation that his money can help her out of, he approaches her in hopes of enjoying her and enjoying the revenge he gets, as well. What he never counted on was her becoming so much more than an act of revenge. Steamy scenes, enemies-to-lovers, maybe a smidge of this rich boy with a grudge ending up having a heart, after all.

Kurt used to spend a lot of time in his club, Club Nexxus. After serving in the military and coming home suffering from PTSD, he began to lose interest. But one day while checking in, he saw a face he never thought he’d see again – Arely, the little sister of his best childhood friend. He had heard the path his old friend had taken and couldn’t believe it. He was just surviving until he saw her again, especially when he learned she was working in his club to stay hidden from the cartel for her protection.

Arely was involved in human trafficking. The secrets she learned there can be very dangerous for the people running the ring, so once she got out she went into hiding. Bartending in a private club offers a lot of protection in the form of the company knowing everyone who comes in and out, security, and the dim bar makes her feel protected, as well. When she sees Kurt there one day, she can’t believe she is seeing him again. When she is located at Club Nexxus, will she survive? Will she ask for help? Will Kurt help her?

Steamy read, wonderful character building, great chemistry. This is a standalone but the enjoyable writing shines through.

This was a book from a new to me author.

Ross returns from an enlistment in the Marine Corps to his brother running from the law and taking his girlfriend with him…the girlfriend that Ross enlisted to get away from.

Fast forward some years and the story begins…Ross and Hadley meet again under bad circumstances and feelings are shared. Lives have grown while they were apart. There is a touch of kink play in the book but not the 50 shades kind.

It was a good story with a good plot. I enjoyed it. I was intrigued by the mention of his boss’ story so I might go back and read that one.
