About this item

Ethan Stone is a protector.
It’s what he was born to do.
Protect. Dominate. Control.
And everyone always obeys him.
Everyone except her.
Cate Ripley.
She’s cool. Emotionless. Removed from the world.
And he cannot stop thinking about her. Worrying over her.
Wanting her.

Cate doesn’t understand Ethan Stone.
She's always struggled with understanding others emotions and actions.
She’s done everything she can think of to keep him at a distance.
Yet, he’s always there. Annoying her. Prodding at her.
The last thing she needs in her life is a bossy, overbearing man telling her what to do.
Claiming that she needs a Daddy to take care of her.

Cate put a wall up between herself and her emotions years ago and she has no intention of allowing anyone, least of all Ethan Stone, to shatter that barrier.

Because if he does . . . she knows he won’t stick around to pick up the pieces.

What a beautiful story! I couldn't put it down! Once Ethan saw Cate, he knew she was destined to be his. Cate is different, but still a smart cookie and she wasn't real sure about Ethan at first, but he wore her down. This book gave me all the feels...it was warm, lovely and such a wonderful book! I was sad when it was over...I wanted to keep reading about them. But alas, I'll just have to re-read the book!

A beautiful story about love and kindness and being different. It is all okay. Excellent story!

It was well written and I could feel that the characters truly belonged together. However there were quite a few annoying typos

I love the MC Daddies series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but the stories are so much better when you read from the beginning and know all the characters. Especially the Fox - his story is a must read. The only problem is the author cannot write as fast as I can read!

This is one of my favorite Laylah Roberts series and this new release did not disappoint. Strong characters, compassionate storylines, and glimpses of past characters combines for a really great read. I can't wait to read next generation stories with Zippy, Brookes, the twins and more. The wait was worth it!

Cate is autistic and very intelligent. Her movie star brother is being stalked, enter Ethan the bodyguard. Somehow the bossy, quiet, controlling Stone finds that Cate is the woman meant for him. Not without lots of landmines. She has to learn to open to him and trust him. He finds the Daddy in him is soothed and fed by her various needs.

This book takes on the subjects of people needing special ways of dealing with life and that also fed by kink lifestyle. I enjoyed this book. Do not expect this to be a fast read. Take your time to enjoy all the twists, turns, and personalities.

Guardian Daddy, the 13th book in the MC Daddies series by Laylah Roberts, is an engaging and skillfully written story. The book centers on Ethan, a stern and protective Daddy Dom who has been feeling lonely lately. He has watched his friends find their perfect little and was starting to doubt if he would ever find love. Ethan gets pleasure from taking care of others, but he's been criticized before for being too overbearing with this need. Cate, the main female character, has autism and struggles with deep insecurities stemming from childhood abuse by her aunt, uncle, and cousin who raised and and her brother after their parents died.

I really enjoyed this book. Cate's autism was portrayed with care and realism, making it a natural part of her character rather than just a detail added for the sake of diversity. Ethan’s acceptance and understanding of Cate, along with the way he embraced all the ways she learned to function and cope, was heartwarming. He never made her feel weird or out of place. Their relationship was beautifully written, showing how they brought out the best in each other.

The story also included a mystery involving a stalker targeting Cate’s twin brother, Rhodes, who is a Hollywood star. The mystery was seamlessly woven into the plot, complementing the main focus on the romance without feeling like an afterthought. I also loved revisiting characters from previous books in the series. If you’re new to the series, you’ll still be able to follow along easily, but for longtime readers, these appearances are a delightful bonus.

Laylah Roberts’ writing continues to improve, and as long as she keeps writing, I’ll keep reading.
