Knox (Daddies of the Shadows Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Kate Oliver (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 3,820 ratings
Sometimes the law isn't enough to protect the vulnerable. Sometimes someone has to step in, no matter what the consequences. Sometimes doing what's right isn't always legal. Sometimes it's dark and dirty and dangerous. Men like that need somewhere to call home, and what better place than an exclusive nightclub where the money and drinks flow freely. Most of the patrons are there to satisfy their urge to drink and be seen. Others are there to keep an eye out for those who need help. Welcome to the brotherhood. Welcome to The Shadows.

Knox
When she came in to buy a gun, I knew she was in trouble. This isn't my first rodeo. What I didn't expect was to have my Daddy senses go into high gear.

Addison
My life was going well until I got the call that my past was coming to haunt me. Although I don't want it, I may have to accept help from a man who calls to my Little side. He's dark and dangerous and he would never understand my needs. But he says he will protect me and I can use all the help I can get.

Daddies of the Shadows is a series and is best read in order however each book can be read as a standalone. This series contains topics that may be triggering to some. This story contains age play, discipline, and power exchange between consenting adults as well as very hot and possessive men. If these topics might offend you, please do not purchase this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect way to start the series
    Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2024

    Kate Oliver writes complex characters who aren’t perfect but who are perfect for the ones they fall in love with. And she continues that trend with Knox. Knox and his band of brothers may do bad things but they are good guys. And who better to watch out for a Little who needs protection from her abusive ex?
    I love how Knox and Addie met, I love how they keep connecting with one another, and I love the journey they went on together. It was beautiful, it was spicy, and it was full of wonderful tender moments. These two were so good for each other. I am so glad Addie found someone to love her unconditionally, protect her with his life, and stand up for her no matter what. And Knox found someone who could accept all parts of him-even the dark parts. Definitely recommend if you like ddlg stories, especially with some slightly morally gray daddies.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2022

    Knox is the first book in Kate Oliver’s Daddies of the Shadows series. In this age-play romantic suspense readers witness the romantic journey of Addison “Addie” Jones and Knox McCray. She comes from a well-to-do dysfunctional family. Her mother constantly berates and belittles her as she destroys Addie’s self-esteem. Knox owns a gun store. He is one of eight men raised by Pop Leo and Ma Sophia, who took in these young men as troubled youth. The brothers are all large men with overflowing muscles and tattoos. The brothers are all Daddies. Destiny brings Addie and Knox together when she walks into his gun shop wanting to buy a gun for self-defense from her ex-boyfriend, Alex, who is being released from prison. At his sentencing hearing, Alex vows to kill Addie. Will he be successful? Can Knox and Addie find happiness? You must read the this book to follow their suspenseful romantic journey.
    I enjoyed Ms. Oliver’s writing style. I found the pacing of her plot to be quite enjoyable. Her characters are multi-dimensional with strengths and vulnerabilities that endear them to her readers. Dialog, both conversational and internal monologues, are rich. Descriptive scenes paint vivid scenes that garner her readers’ attention.

    I love this series. It is a DD/lg with spankings. I can read the series over and over because it speaks to my internal beacon on family. I love, love stories about Alpha men who immediately zero in on their One and Only.

    Addie brings an innocence to the story. I tend to drop stories where the woman has more ‘masculine’ traits of ‘I am strong, hear me roar’ or approach sex like a man to fill a need. Oky, I like the 1950s style soft woman who needs and accepts help from a strong man.

    The gun scene hooked me into Knox’s story. You will laugh out loud a few times.

    I would love another story where the family has an enemy threatening to harm the Littles and the men must come to the rescue.

    DDlg is so hard to write and not be cringe. Like, sure, it's a subset of BDSM and it's a book it's hard to incorporate all of the appropriate conversations, and it still be sexy. This is fun and cute and has sexy parts. It's a bit cringe, but read it because you need a base. I'd say the next book is better. This is hard core insta love. Which may just be the authors thing. But honestly, I like this book because the issues both main characters have are very common, especially on DDlg, and I appreciate that. Even if the solutions aren't realistic. Afterall. It is a book.

    Well written with good plot and characters I instantly loved. Knox and Addie are perfect matched. He and his brothers are firmly in the morally gray area but their protection of the innocent makes them amazing men. Definitely worth reading.

    Addie owns her own boutique and makes custom dresses. She had a really bad relationship in the past that almost killed her (and now he’s getting out of jail), she has a horrible mother who makes her feel bad about her body and she’s shy with showing her “little side”. She meets Knox after going to his gun store to purchase a gun and he “daddy” senses go off. He knows he wants to get to know Addie better.

    I enjoyed this book it has a mix of story, action and steamy scenes. Knox and Addie are perfect together and he’s determined to protect her at all costs.

    Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️……really off the charts!

    Such a great story, I didn't know much about littles before I read this book, but after I did, it made me wish I had my own Daddy! Addie is such a wonderful woman, and so down to earth; insecure but successful, independent, but wishes she had a Daddy of her own. Knox is successful, dark and is a Daddy without his little. They meet and he helps her see that she is perfect, just the way she is. Just enough love, drama, smexy time and an unconventional family that all take care of their own. I can't wait to read Ash's story!
