I’m Sorry, Daddy by May Alder
My world is upended when I find my mom packing her suitcases. She tells me I don’t have to call my stepfather Dad or Daddy anymore since we’re leaving and moving in with the man she’s been cheating on him with for the past eight months.
But I don’t want to leave or call someone else Daddy. What I want is to ease the sting of Mom’s betrayal, to apologize for my selfish behavior over the last three years, and to make sure he will still want to be my dad even after he’s no longer legally my stepfather.
Thinking back to some of my parents’ recent arguments, I think I know what I can do to help Daddy feel better. It will be my way of saying, “I’m sorry, Daddy.”

While this story is not my favorite or even my usual trope to read about, I was asked by several people to do so and give my review of it. So, this is me responding to those requests.
I'm Sorry, Daddy was a short novella about Bill and Tina. The author did specify how long Bill had been married to Tina's mother, so we don't know how long he had been a father figure in her life. Therefore, I can't give an opinion on their daddy/daughter relationship as opposed to the more intimate relationship they developed.
19-year-old Tina returned home from shopping with one of her closest friends to hear her mother and Bill in another shouting match. She raced to their room and saw her mother packing her things. She quickly learned that not only did her mother tell her they were moving out, but Bill informed her that her mom had been cheating on him for the past 8 months. It was apparent that he had returned home unexpectedly and found his soon-to-be ex-wife in bed with her newest lover.
After her mother stormed out, Tina learned some more truths about what had been really going on, and the fact that she had fallen into the same habit as her mother...taking advantage of her stepdad in every way, including his wallet. One thing led to another, and before long, Tina was putting the moves on her stepdad. Although he had tried to stop her, she quickly convinced him to give in.
This relationship continued to develop over the next several months. When Tina's mother finally returned for her (but did she really?), Bill had set it up so that she walked in on him in bed with Tina. No need for further elucidation, right?
This was a very short novella that had a hint of the taboo. It was scintillating from start to finish, and it was 100% OTT in the angst and drama. There was no time (or need) for character development, and it definitely did not have a plot or major storyline to adhere to, so the absence of a normal emotional rollercoaster wasn't much of a surprise either.
I gave this short story only a three-star rating, but that was because it just happened so fast without the usual build-up one would like to see when reading a good romance novel. Still, the spiciness wasn't all that bad.
@Jo Jo: I have to agree. There is a lot of potential there if she does her due diligence. This was the first book of hers that I've read, so I haven't totally given up on her writing style.
I'm mixed on this author; a few of her stories are goofy, short fun. Back Seat, for example. I think, with time, May could be another Jessa Kane. The style is similar, just needs the heat and the character development.
VERY short story. Kind of disturbing how many times they bring up his 'fat belly' or the fact she was literally his step-daughter since she was little and truly thought of him as a dad. Also the fact that it all started to happen based on her trying to make him feel better after her cheating mother broke his heart and the way he took her virginity without knowing for a fact she was or wasn't a virgin and without her full consent. 🤢 Too much to this short story to be disturbed by to even really turn me on.. 1/5 ⭐
Bom saber....
