Books Don't Call Me Daddy - Jere Anthony

Don't Call Me Daddy by Jeré Anthony is a laugh-out-loud, scorching hot romantic comedy set in a small Appalachian Mountain town. The story follows a grumpy billionaire CEO who, after being passed over as the next CEO of his family’s billion-dollar company for caring "too much about work," panics and fabricates a fake engagement to appear more relaxed and fun. The woman he ropes into this white lie is Ivy, a bright, optimistic, and younger mental health advocate with ADHD, who unexpectedly walks into his hospital room, surprised to meet him.

They agree to pretend to be engaged for one month while Ivy lives with him, enduring his teasing and grumpiness. Despite his initial resolve not to fall for her, their fake relationship heats up, complicated by an age gap and a dynamic featuring daddy dom/brat vibes. The story blends small-town charm, witty banter, and a slow-burning romance that moves from annoyances to love.

Themes include fake engagement, grumpy/sunshine opposites attract, and personal growth, all wrapped in a heartfelt and steamy package. The novel is the first in the Ashford Falls series, which follows the Kingsley brothers.

In summary, Don't Call Me Daddy is a fun, sexy, and emotionally engaging romantic comedy about learning to loosen up, embrace vulnerability, and find love in unexpected places
