ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 11, 2024
I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
Mine was gold, diamond encrusted, and held in place by household staff.
With a trust fund I’d never be able to blow through, I didn’t need to work a day in my life. I sure as hell didn’t need the kind of job I had.
But I wasn’t in it for the money. It was for personal satisfaction. A love of a job well done. What’s that saying about never working a day in your life if you love breaking fingers and burying bodies where they’ll never be found?
I might be paraphrasing, but it was still the truth.
My boss’ wife called me a goon—and she wasn’t wrong. As second-in-command, I did whatever needed to keep Black Resorts running smoothly. That often included the aforementioned violence since Vegas wasn’t short on people who deserved it.
The rarity was those who deserved protection.
Like Mila.
Liar. Thief. And my little ray of pessimistic sunshine.
Her spoon wasn’t silver. Hell, it wasn’t even a spoon. It was a plastic spork that she hustled and fought for, and she’d always done it alone.
But that changed the second she nearly passed out in my arms.
She called me a behemoth.
I wanted her to call me Daddy.

REVIEW:Little Sunshine is the second installment in the Black Resorts series by the brilliant Layla Frost. As a long time fan of this author, I recommend reading book one in the series before dipping your toes in with Ash and Mila, while it is not required, the book can be read as a standalone, but one is just as yummy. Little Sunshine is a slow burn, age gap, BDSM romance.
Mila life has its own personal little black rain cloud 🌧️ that has followed her around since…well birth if I think about it. Her Mom is the worst, and with her latest round of crazy has put poor Mila in one of the worst positions ever. A position of desperation. One that leads her to do something so stupid, but even more, it may have just saved her life. After getting caught stealing at her job, she is caught by Daddy Ash, insisting she return what she took, Mila takes off. Fight or flight and all that right? Too bad for Mila though, flight is always her go to. Now don’t get this story wrong, Daddy Ash isn’t a knight in shining armor. He is an anti-hero through and through, but one in designer suits and ready and willing to get his hands dirty for her.
Throughout this slow burn romance, I was waiting for a few things to happen and when they did, boy oh boy was the slow burn worth the wait! When Mila FINALLY stands up to her hella shady Mother was one of the best parts of this book lol Seeing Mila learn to trust Ash, and him finally earning that trust from her was so so good. And lets not forget the spice that this book has because of course there is plenty, the rope play was personally a hand fanning moment for me. Overall I can both read and feel how much love and care Ms. Author put into her work and I am so pleased to have read it. If you love an anti-hero who will do anything for his love, Daddy/Dom play and a HEA then this is definitely the read for you!
