After a bleak childhood in foster care, Kelly's growing mistrust has her running away again and again. Homeless and penniless, with no relatives to harbor her and a penchant for escaping her caretakers, Kelly is finally handed over to one of the few parish orphanages remaining in existence until she turns eighteen, when she is released.
Possessing only a little money, few skills, and even fewer resources, Kelly's attempts at job hunting end up with her prowling the streets in desperation – until a wealthy stranger makes her a proposition she is too cold and hungry to refuse. Though it isn't until he takes her home that she realizes just what she's gotten herself into.
My opinion:
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review
Kelly's life after her parents' death was very hard. They put her in many foster homes, which she kept escaping, so they put her in a ward of the Catholic Church until she became 18 years old. After that, she ended up in the streets selling her body. Then one night a wealthy man offered her an unnatural deal which she accepted. She was going to learn how to live as a grown-up little girl. She had trouble getting used to that lifestyle since most of the rules didn't match her behavior, but there were some parts that she liked. A few months later they had developed a good schedule and Kelly was happy with her life. Unfortunately, that changed three years later. At 21 years old Graham decided it was time for her to be independent. He helped her as much as he could and then she was on her own. Graham's rejection hurt her a lot but it also gave her the opportunity to meet the man who truly loved her.
It's a Daddy/little novel. Very well written, with many detail descriptions and information about the lifestyle. The little girl doesn't have a certain age, she can act as an infant, toddler or teenager. Which is very rare, along with the fact that the story doesn't concentrate solely on the romantic or erotic part, instead it shows the relationship from many levels. Each character is different but perfect for their role. I would recommend this only to open-minded readers, and I will rate it with 4 stars.
