He calls me perfect.
His flawless pet.
His good girl.
Broken down and wounded by my emotionally neglectful ex, I wanted someone to tell me I was good enough.
Then, I stumbled into a new job with a boss who brings me to my knees—literally. He has me do things a real secretary would never do.
Emerson Grant tells me I’m more than just good enough.
I’m worthy of his praise.
There are a million reasons why I should stay away. The owner of the Salacious Players’ Club is not just my new boss, he’s twice my age.
And my ex-boyfriend’s father.
With him, I am treasured. I am adored. I am his.
I’m a good girl, but I’m falling for the wrong man.
Emerson Grant knows what he wants—
And he wants me.
So how far will I go to hear his approval?

“When did I stop looking at him as too old? Too off-limits. Too… Beau’s dad? Because now I only see him as mine.”
I kept seeing this around TikTok and as someone who has a praise kink themselves, I knew I had to read it.
This book started off so strong! I was so ready to buy a copy of this for my shelf. The tension was delicious and I couldn’t wait for them to explode and give in to their wants of the other person. The forbidden aspect gave it just the right amount of angst.
Once we got over the halfway mark and once they decided to give in, I felt like it started to go downhill. Things started to drag and the book felt so drawn out. We were hit with the most drawn out chapters of “I wish this could be more” or “I have to put my son first”. Honestly, like Beau didn’t deserve the reservations that they gave him. They shouldn’t have had two thoughts about him and I mean that with the most disrespect.
Side note, one of these days I want to read a book where the heroine and the ex’s dad rub it in his face that they are together.
All in all, it started off great but I didn’t end up loving like it I wanted to. If you are into praise kink or want a light intro to it, then give this a try.

Well, that’s a bummer that it started out strong and then failed you.

I read this one after your review because I was curious. 100% agree with your opinion. It was pretty weak.

Thats an interesting premise to be sure. Its always the worse when the story starts off so strong and then flattens. But praise kink is something you don’t see too often.
