Cal, 19 years old (and our Baby), has gone from being a wealthy young man with all the perks that come with it to a sex worker struggling to pay for food and medication. Cal's father, you see, is now in prison for orchestrating a ponzi scheme, and Cal has become a pariah at his elite prep school. Cal is forced to live on the floor of the one kid on scholarship until he graduates because he has no money and no family.

One night, his only friend recommends him for a sexual job with an eccentric older man who has a specific set of desires. Cal is about to meet Daddy Gideon.

Gideon, a wealthy, older, and well-established professor, avoids relationships and never sees the same baby boy twice. He has baggage, and he now hires a baby for the night before moving on to the next. That is, until Cal enters his apartment with trepidation... This couple's chemistry is instant and explosive.

Generally, my issue with Daddy books is that I struggle with the Daddy/Baby dynamics... but not in Disciplinary Action! I completely understood why Cal needed a Daddy and why Gideon needed a baby... it just made sense to me and the dynamics between these two absolutely worked for me.

Folks, this book isn't just Daddy hotness... Inside is an emotional page-turner that made me feel everything from rage to sadness to hot and bothered... My heart broke for Cal and what he was going through, and Gideon… Gideon has so many layers that you couldn’t help but love him more as each layer was revealed. The characters truly grow through the book both individually and together.

In short, I thoroughly enjoyed Disciplinary Action and wholeheartedly recommend it!
