Daddy Issues

North Shore Stories, Book 2

By: Lynn Van Dorn

Narrated by: Michael Ferraiuolo

Marek Wisniewski is a man used to being obeyed, whether it's by his patients or his lovers. When he's hired to be an in-home nurse for an extremely difficult old man, he's certain he can handle it, until he comes face-to-face with Ryan, his client's son. Both men have reasons to dislike each other, and neither is pleased when they're forced to live under the same roof. Ryan wants Marek gone, and Marek wants to bring the beautiful and spoiled Ryan to his knees.

Ryan Chadwick seems to live a charmed life, but underneath his polished veneer of arrogance and success, he’s miserable. Ryan feels, increasingly, like his carefully constructed life is spinning out of control. All it'll take is one little push to bring his world crashing down around him.

Marek and Ryan clash again and again, causing Ryan to further question who he is and what he wants. Marek brings out a side in him he didn't know existed, a side that wants to please and obey. Marek’s desire to teach Ryan a lesson in humility becomes, over time, a lesson to show Ryan that who, and what, he wants isn't shameful.

Two very different men come together and discover that what you want and what you need aren't always the same thing. They find that you need to pace yourself at a Polish dinner, how building snowmen is not rocket science, that a mansion on a lake doesn't guarantee happiness, and most of all, how important it is to let go.

Daddy Issues is a steamy romance in the North Shore Stories series. This book follows Be My Mistake and Damage Control, but can be listened to as a stand-alone novel.

Warning: The story contains BDSM elements, fisting, a blanket fort, an embarrassing butt plug, lots of food, and a HEA.

Good

Its a good book and I love this narrator, Michael Ferraiuolo does a amazing job with giving each charachter there own personality and voice.
What kinda killed the book for me were the chapter names, nothing came as a suprise becouse the chapter title already told me what was gonna happen in a long sentence.

So good

THIS WAS SO GOOD. My favorite of the series by faaaaaaar.

This story had my emotions all over the place. Ryan is so deep in the closet, I loved him so much. He was so confused, lost and conflicted about everything, but deep down he's a great man who's just looking for acceptance. Marek was Ryan's perfect match. Watching him guide Ryan through his stubbornness and doubts was amazing to see.

This was basically perfect, I can't stop raving about it.

The narrator also knocked it out of the park.

No issues with Daddy Issues! 5+ stars!

The bar was set at the loftiest of heights by Damage Control, and Daddy Issues had no trouble meeting it. Penned by Lynn Van Dorn and narrated by Michael Ferraiuolo, this second audiobook in the North Shore Stories series was one that I'd been eager to listen to ever since I finished the series starter. Ryan Chadwick was not necessarily a villain back then, but he certainly didn't make it easy to either sympathize or empathize with him. However, Van Dorn slowly but surely peeled back those layers and exposed who Ryan was with the help of the other main character, Marek Wisniewski, the in-house nurse tending to Ryan's father. I loved seeing this more vulnerable version of Ryan, and how Marek provided what he needed rather than what he wanted. Yes, there's a BDSM aspect to their relationship, but that isn't what their story is about. There are complexities to both men and their respective situations, and their evolving relationship was fascinating. Ferraiuolo, as expected, takes Van Dorn's story to a whole new level of excellence. I highly recommend Daddy Issues. Five-plus stars! ♥

Amazing story!!

Michael Ferraiuolo did an amazing job narrating this complex story. He did a great job keeping Marek’s accent consistant. His performance was absolutely brilliant!! This story is full of emotions. Regret, despair,anguish, strength, love and devotion. The audio takes you on a beautiful journey!! I highly recommend it!!

Better than the first

Sometimes I'm really glad I'm the kind of person who just HAS to read/listen to the whole series I can't do just one or two I'm too curious to see what happens and I was really not looking forward to Ryan's story, I didn't like him and I was not expecting his love interest to be Marek. I love when a characters turns my dislike into pure love, there is so much more to Ryan and even his relationship with his father and brother Tyler (I wish we saw more of that) It was a beautifully emotional story of love, surrender, acceptance and family. It's a bit long and can drag but stick with it so worth the time.
