About this listen
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.

Getting into the vampire-only detective unit was the easy part. What’s going to be more difficult is dealing with my new partner - an ancient vampire who keeps threatening to eat me. The unit has never had a human in it. Marcus - or, as I like to call him: Fangy McFangface - would really prefer to keep it that way. He’s grumpy, short-tempered, and broody, but I have a way with words, and I know he’s starting to like me, even if he swears he’s not.

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.

Surprising in many ways
The book begins with Ryan who has a fiance but continues to show up at Patrick's door for comfort and sex. Patrick quit his job with Ryan and tells him repeatedly to stay away, but seems unable to refuse him when he turns up. It appears for the first chapters that we will be following Ryan as he struggles to be honest about his sexuality and Patrick as he develops a backbone and their final happy ever after. Then, the author pulls a very clever trick. One night when Ryan appears at Patrick's apartment, Patrick appears with a group of friends he has been out with and Marek is casually introduced as one of those friends who happens to be a nurse. At this point, I really just wanted Ryan to go away - what a jerk! Cut to a Christmas party and its aftermath when Ryan drives his father home. Oh lordy, such a despicable, controlling, homophobic, sexist old man. At this point, everything about why Ryan is the way he is becomes crystal clear and you feel nothing but sorrow for him. No detailed spoiler here, but during this car ride Ryan's fiance says everything we'd want to say to his father who responds like the reptile he is, but promptly has a stroke. Ryan assumes she will still marry him and let his father live with them as he now needs care. She being no fool leaves him and guess who comes as the private nurse, Marek. Marek scopes the situation out and finds the way to help Ryan and change his life. The scenes where Marek takes control of Ryan and helps him learn to let go, submit and accept care are breathtaking. You as the listener will need to accept some of that care too. Every time I took a break from this book to do some real life task, I realized the story and the reading by Michael Ferraiuolo had me tied up in knots just like Ryan. I had to decompress for a bit every time. The ending is lovely and perfect and more people get happy ever after than just Ryan and Marek. The narration is amazing. It seemed like there was a whole cast performing this, women, men, accents allare spot on and seamless. Gotta go see what else Michael Ferraiuolo has done. Do not miss this if you want to get tied up in some emotional knots for a while.

As soon as the first one
I loved this book. I really didn't think that I would like Ryan but I did. I related a lot with Ryan's verbal abuse at the hands of his father. Been there. Still living that. Ryan really lucked out with Marek. This book was super sexy! I highly recommend it! Michael Ferraiuolo is the freaking best. I love him so.

Absolutely amazing
There was so much that I enjoyed about this book!
I loved how Marek inserted himself in Ryan’s life and just stayed. He forced his way in and made him his priority.
I also loved how Ryan seemed like such a jerk at first until Marek brought out what Ryan needed and he became a better version of himself.
The entire 1st half was some pretty significant D/s play but the second half was all about family which just felt right.
Honestly, this was an amazing age gap, forced proximity, enemies to lovers story with an HEA and deep, engaging characters.
Michael Ferraiuolo is an amazing narrator, and I loved his Polish accent. I loved everything about this story.

KINKY GOODNESS
Ryan and Marek... they were perfection. There’s just something about baby Doms *sigh*
The kink factor in this book was off the charts HOT!!
We had a great Dom/Sir and his sub dynamic. Marek is 11 years younger than Ryan, but he’s exactly what Ryan needs. He’s his rock and his support, he takes him apart while at the same time taking care of him and building him up.
We get amazing secondary characters, and more Ty time!
I’m so in love with this series, I need more!

It Gave Me All The Feels
Michael Ferraiuolo narration of Daddy Issues put me through a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
He made smile, made me sad , at times angry and in the need of a hug. He made me connect and care about the mental and physical well being of the entire cast of main and secondary characters.
He made feel , in my skin, the attraction, passion, excitement, arousal, devotion and love the heroes felt for each other . And he made me cry; and not just couple tears here and there . Nope, it was an all out , ugly crying with hiccups and tons of tissues. And I love every minute of the 10 hours and 44 minutes length of Daddy Issues.
As I said before, it gave me all the feels and at the end of the book, he left me with a joyful and heart full of love , hope, gratitude.
He did justice to Lynn Van Dorn magnificent and entertaining , heartwarming, soul touching, emotional resonant, angsty, hot AF , MM , love story.
