Another short and hot twincest story from Becca Vale! I really enjoyed it, as with all her others. While it’s an erotica with literally zero plot, it’s hot and sweet! The twins get a lovely HEA....more
My review will cover the whole series since I read all three books back to back.
Remi Laroche, a financially struggling college student, loses his jobMy review will cover the whole series since I read all three books back to back.
Remi Laroche, a financially struggling college student, loses his job when the cafe he works at suddenly shuts down. He's dealing with a messy breakup with an ex who doesn't seem to take no for an answer, and with his bills coming up + winter, he needs to find another job fast. A friend suggests he sign up for a sugar baby match service. He doesn't want to, but he finds that as his situation gets worse, he has nothing to lose. He's fiercely independent and finds that this will allow him to get financial security without getting into another relationship with an Alpha.
Dimitrios Cirillo is a workaholic and the CEO of a famous and influential tech company, and due to his intense work schedule, he hasn't had a chance to get off recently. He wants to have sex but does not want a relationship. He decides to sign up for the sugar baby/daddy agency, the perfect solution to his situation. He can provide for an omega, and in exchange, he will get regular sex with any of the issues that come with a relationship.
However, as they get to know one another, their relationship starts to shift into something more than just sex or money.
Overall, I really enjoyed this series. I wanted to start from book one, but I don’t do well with cliffhangers and decided to wait until it was completed, and it was worth the wait.
If you read Jett’s work before, you know what to expect. It’s very much a relationship forced, and we get very, very sugary, sweet, and hot moments between Remi and Dimi. While there are external and some internal issues between the two as their relationship grows from being Sugar Baby and Daddy. I love seeing how independent Remi was outside in his life and work, but with Dimi, he was able to be submissive and let go.
Their sexual compatibility and chemistry were off the charts. We get lots of sex scenes between the two. While there’s a growing romance, Jett made sure to make this book super spicy - seriously, the plot is secondary to the smut. Some of the scenes can get repetitive, especially across three books, but honestly, it was no issue for me personally; I enjoyed each and every one of them. I also loved the long heat scenes! Thank you, Jett.
Also, there was a fair amount of kink (Daddy, praise, bondage, orgasm denials, lingerie, etc), nothing extreme, but Dimitrios is a Daddy and a pleasure Dom. Dimitrios became more and more possessive of Remi, so I liked seeing that as well.
It took a while for both of them to get on the same page regarding their feelings; everyone but them could see it. However, once they do, it’s perfect!
This series is long! I think each book is, on average, 500 pages; now, did it need to be that long? No, but at the same time, I am a glutton. If I like something, I want more of it. I’m a massive fan of the omegaverse world that Jett has created. They give me so much of the things I enjoy in this subgenre. So, the length did not bother me; I was really engrossed and invested in their relationship.
Jett has a particular narrative style, and if you read their books before you know what to expect, but for some readers I know this won’t be for them. I’ve mentioned it before, but there are some head-hopping and mid-page switches of character POVs which can be an issue.
Overall, I really enjoyed this series and am glad that I read it. Honestly, I’ve read every book by Jett so far and need more! Can’t wait to see what is next from this author....more

"I would kill to protect you. I’d die to protect you. You’re mine, and I’d do anything, baby boy—anything at all—to have a chance of deserving you."
W "I would kill to protect you. I’d die to protect you. You’re mine, and I’d do anything, baby boy—anything at all—to have a chance of deserving you."
We have 18-year-old Elias, who ends up in a maximum security prison and cell mates with a cannibal and convicted killer, Ambrose Hughes. His crimes do not match his punishments, someone wants him dead. Ambrose is serving a life sentence after he killed and cannibalized victims; he’s an infamous killer. He’s had untreated schizophrenia and ASPD. He hasn’t had a bunkmate in a long time after the last one ended up well...in a not-so-good situation. Elias fits the looks of his victims perfectly, but soon, the young man manages to capture his heart, and his goal becomes ensuring his safety.
They both realize they’re pawns in a bigger game with their lives at stake. They only have each other, and Elias feels protected, giving into Ambrose, and Ambrose finally finds someone who loves him for him - his flaws and all.
There were worse things than being fucked by a goddamned legend. One of those worse things would be to be murdered and eaten by him, but right now, Elias just wanted to think about the good, the way that, in this moment, he was occupying all Hughes’s thoughts, making him hard, making him hurt others.
Still, there was something irresistibly sexy about lying here in Hughes’s strong arms, tangled up with him as Hughes pinned Elias’s legs to the mattress with one heavy thigh. Their bodies fit together so perfectly, Elias dwarfed in the best way by the larger man.
This book was much sweeter than I expected. It took awhile for me to get into the story. I'm not sure why but it wasn’t until 30-35% that I started to really enjoy it. I’m not going to lie I was close to dropping it but glad I stuck with it. I really came to adore the MCs and became invested in their HEA.
I loved how Ambrose adored and wanted to protect Elias, even if it meant the peaceful existence he carved out from himself in prison was disrupted. He never trusted anyone after being betrayed in life but decides to give in to Elias. He knows Elias is meant to be outside and with someone who is better.
“You’re mine. Your life is mine. I’d kill anyone who even thought about hurting you. I’m your weapon, Elias. I’ll do whatever you ask of me.”
“I won’t hurt you, pretty boy, not like I hurt the others. I’m not… I mean, I’m still crazy, technically, but I’m not out of control now. I know what I’m doing, what’s real.”
“No one’s ever really loved me but you. After Roger, I don’t tolerate liars. I know what I look like. I know I’m crazy, too. But I’ll do anything for someone who loves me back.”
He’s still a dangerous man no doubt but I adored how possessives and proactive he was of Elias. He was also willing to give him up and set him free so he can have a life outside. Even if it meant he will never see him again.
I also loved Elias’s devotion to Ambrose. He wasn’t just thinking of himself but worked hard to ensure that they could have a chance outside together.
“You’ll have me to keep an eye on you, to make sure you’re getting your meds, and we’ll be fulfilling your life’s promise as best we can. Get you to become a doctor, even if it’s sort of off the books unlicensed. But you can help people. That can help you pay penance better than sticking you in a hole can.”
I would say there isn't much Daddy Kink aside from the usage of the word. I also wish we could get a look into their life after escaping but overall I enjoyed this book...more
The Daddy Arrangement is the third book in the The Situationship series and I think my favorite so far.
Elliot is struggling financially, and with hisThe Daddy Arrangement is the third book in the The Situationship series and I think my favorite so far.
Elliot is struggling financially, and with his debt, he can't afford rent anymore. Elliot ends up living with his father's best friend Stuart, but he soon realises that he needs more than a place to live; he needs a full-time Daddy.
I love age gap, Daddy kink, and father's best friend trope! The Daddy Arrangement hit all the marks, and I enjoyed it so much. I've been struggling with reading due to real life being hectic, but once I started this book, I could not put it down. It's not a secret that I am a huge fan of Jesse's amazing writing, but adding my favourite kink and tropes? Yes, please.
My heart went out to Elliot. Poor thing had an absent father and childhood experiences that impacted his self-esteem as an adult. His father caused him to stamp down on any feelings of hope and exceptions. He feels unseen and unheard, and it's no wonder with many of the adults in his life failing him. He sees his friends falling in love and feels that can't be him. My heart broke for him.
However, with Stuart, his confidence is not only growing, but he finally has someone who puts him first and cares for him. Someone who listens to him and provides him what he needs. He’s a boy who needs to be taken care of, and Stuart does that and more.
I feel coddled and pampered as fuck as I chew. I feel taken care of and smug and spoiled, and for the first time in my life, I relate to Jessie. I relate hard.
I also really loved seeing him have expectations and looking forward to things with Stuart. I also love the codependency as well.
I’m starting to realize how un-okay I am about being without him. I need him. I don’t just need him. I want him. Not even in a pervy way. I want him to ask how my day was, and I want him to dish up my food for me, and I want him to make me a smoothie that tastes like ass.
I know I’m a mess, and I know he can see it. I don’t care though. I want him to see. I don’t know what he sees in my eyes, but in his, I see sternness and consequences. Caring and kindness.
Stuart really falls into his role as Daddy. That is who he is at his core, and once he realizes that Elliot needs a strong, firm hand and routine, he is ready to take on the task. He’s patient, provides discipline and praises him when needed. He also takes the time to teach him instead of just giving him orders or instructions.
I love it when he teaches me anything. I love being close to him, and I love that he takes the time needed to focus on improving me. I love it so much that I found myself squirming while being taught how to water houseplants the other day, but being taught how to take a dick?
The age gap between them is closer to 20, and with Elliot being the son of a dear friend + coming out of a bad break-up, he tries to keep things non-sexual. However, it becomes hard as Elliot wants more and his feelings towards his boy grow. I’m glad that he started to come to his senses.
I’ve had my arm around him since we sat, and I won’t be moving it anytime soon. Arrangement or not, there’s no way on Earth I’ll ever let a boy who needs comfort go without.
Why the fuck does it matter that he’s Jeff’s son? Who the hell is Jeff to think he has some sort of ownership over Elliot when he hasn’t done a damn thing to be a father to him? And who the hell is society to tell us I’m too old and Elliot’s too young.
This book was definitely on the kinky side. Jesse writes super steamy and well-written sex scenes, and this book was no different. I love how Stuart became more of a Daddy Dom during sex, and Elliot, despite his sexual experience, still had this innocence and shyness. Also, the impact play. There is a lot of spanking!! Hands, belts, paddles! Lots of spanking.
The sight that greets me is the stuff of dreams. My dreams. A beautiful, beautiful boy on my bed. My boy. Stark naked. Legs spread. Smooth, velvety skin wrapped snuggly around solid muscle. Hamstrings tensed and ass tilted up. A pretty pink hole perfectly presented for me.
And Jesus, he makes me feel good. His body is perfect for mine. Perfect. A perfect hole for this dick. A perfect boy for this Daddy.
Did I already say I love how sweet and caring Stuart is as a Daddy? I just love how he did not shy away or want to hide his relationship with Elliot and was ready to face his father. I appreciate that there was no big miscommunication or third act break up. The resolution with the father while brief felt realistic as well. I also felt that while Elliot was definitely a boy, he was also a bit of a middle. There’s no age play at all, but he seemed like he was more innocent and childlike with Stuart.
Overall, I really enjoyed The Daddy Arrangement and can’t wait for book four - Rent: Paid in Full!...more
“I’m never, ever going to leave you. You’re mine. Always mine. I will love you until my last breath.”
Warning for a long review, I had a lot of thou “I’m never, ever going to leave you. You’re mine. Always mine. I will love you until my last breath.”
Warning for a long review, I had a lot of thoughts about this book and was conflicted on how it I should rate it.
We have Simon (22), who was neglected by his father when his mother died as a child. He was shown barely any love or care, forgotten until his best friend's mother found him and took him in. He has been deprived of affection and love, so he takes it when his best friends, twins Damon and Declan, provide it. Their relationship is more than friends, more than brothers, but not quite lovers. They kiss, cuddle, hold one another, but it’s loving but not sexual. Since his father abandoned him, Simon has depended on his best friend’s family to provide him with housing and food and cover his university tuition. However, he wants to be able to stand on his own and not take from them. He wants to also be equal to them and fully rely on his best friends.
Quinlan (38) has been obsessed with Simon from the moment he walked into his classroom. However, he has always watched him from afar and kept his desires to himself. He wants him but also sees that the twins always flank Simon and does not dare make a move because he does not know if Simon is gay or bi.
Once the course ends, he’s ready to forget his obsession and move on, but just when he thinks he won’t see Simon again, Quin sees him at a gay bar. He takes the chance to approach him in the dark. After getting a taste of him, he can’t leave Simon alone and devises a plan to keep him temporarily while getting a chance to sexually be with him - A Sugar baby and Sugar daddy arrangement.
Okay. This story had so many things I enjoyed but also many things that left me scratching my head a little.
The good.
I love when characters are touch starved, needy and crave affection. Simon due to his past was a little sponge who needed physical touch. The twins gave him that and Quin. I loved seeing how different he was with his best friends vs Quin. I also loved that Quin picked up on his needs and gave him all that needed. The hand holding, the petting, sitting on each other’s lap, running fingers through the hair, the closeness….all of it, just loved it.
I loved how comfortable Simon was with Quin both emotionally and physically. He let himself go with him. Simon craves pain at times and needs physical confirmation of their connection. The sex between them can get rough and often leads to Simon going into subspace.
Simon is asexual. He learns that he’s not into sex for sex but the connection it brings. He doesn’t get hard all the time and doesn’t come but needs that connection with Quin. He thought he was broken or that there was something missing, especially when he compared himself to his best friends who were all about hookups, dicks, and just very sexual. Quin shows him that he might be asexual and it takes him a while to learn and understand himself but it allows him to finally realize that there’s nothing wrong with him.
However, being demi isn’t what I think of myself. I’m sure I’m just somewhere in the gray asexual range. Somewhere that I can get aroused under a very specific set of circumstances, otherwise I have no interest at all.
To share that intimate moment with them. Or just to satisfy them. The asexual person doesn’t get the same thing out of it as the other, but that doesn’t mean they’re not getting something out of it.
“I think it goes back to intimacy. You’ve already told me you like being touched. Patted. Hugged and cuddled. This is a more intimate version of that, no? You want to feel the connection and I don’t put pressure on you that you need to be involved in a way you’re not comfortable with.”
Since I learned Simon is asexual, I’ve let him initiate almost all of our sexual encounters. The only time I really bring it to him is when he needs to get out of his head after school. Even then, it’s cock warming as opposed to sex.
I also liked how Quin is so understanding of his sexuality and friendship. At times I think too understanding of the friendship because the twins did need to back off a bit.
“You don’t need to constantly give me sexual attention to keep me loving you, baby. I’m so deeply in love that I’ll never claw my way out.”
“There’s a big difference between me and them. They’re threatened by my presence in your life while I accept and support your close friendship.”
“I’m not going to provide for them, but I’ll never, ever ask you to cease your friendship. They’ll be a part of everything. Our wedding. Our vows. Our kids’ lives. We’ll even make sure there’s a bedroom for the three of you to have sleepovers.”
I also adored Vulcan, Quinn’s best friend. He’s a beast of a man and all things fabulous. I want him to get his HEA. He’s often judged and ridiculed for appearance but has so much love to give. I need his book.
The odd.
I was baffled by the relationship Simon had with the twins. It takes so much of the story up that it distracts from his relationship with Quin. At times, their connection and chemistry are way more intense and romantic than with Quin. I understand his need for their closeness, I get it but there needs to be a line drawn once Simon found a partner.
This is not a poly story, but the Twins are possessive of Simon; they want to own him completely and not let him go. They truly do love him in all ways possible, just no sex. They get physical as well - kisses on the lips, cuddles, sleep intertwined together, grinding on each other in clubs…. he’s the twins’ whole world.
However, once the twins find out about his relationship with Quin their touches become more sexual, at least by one twin. He dry humps, uses Simon to get off and knowing that Simon was uncomfortable with it was a bit hard to read. I guess since Simon did not outright say he was asexual to his best friends they could not have known but still. The twins do cause Simon major heartache and hurt him. I'm curious to see how their relationship will addressed in the next books.
“It has nothing to do with you and whether you’re ‘good enough’ or whatever your problem is, Declan. I don’t feel sexual attraction, like, ever. Arousal isn’t really a thing in my body. I don’t work that way. Feel better now?”
There were scenes between the twins and Simon that made me wonder if the story initially started with the twins as the love interest before the author made a last-minute change, and relegated the twins as just the best friends.
Finally, we have a bit of a gay for you trope here depending on how you look at it. Simon is adamant he's not gay and still finds women pretty and does not look at men, Quin is the exception. However, the author does address this in the author's note - fluidity of sexuality and how Simon is not 100% sure of his sexuality, he's just learning who he is.
Overall I really enjoy this author’s writing. It’s addictive, and this book had many things I enjoyed - age gap, power imbalance, needy affection-starved MC, ace rep, intense chemistry, steamy sex scenes BUT I could not get over the fact it felt like Simon was in two romantic relationships at some points, that he was being pulled in two directions.
There's a HFN/cliffhanger ending for the MCs which will continue in the next book (Which I believe will be Delcan's)
Despite my issues, I think it’s a good story that many will enjoy it....more

Now he's drowning medical bills and a college dropout. However, his friend hooks him up with a job as a waiter at The William, a famous gentlemen’s club. Noel catches the attention of The Beast when he spills drinks on him while working, the notorious owner of the club. He wants Noel for the night and does not take no for an answer. A one-night arrangement becomes something more. Noel is inexperienced but soon learns the roughness and care that The Beast provides are precisely what he needs.
I really enjoyed this addition to the Ruthless Daddies 2 series. I am a huge fan of K.L.Heirs, so I was excited for Beast. This story was more on the porn side, but I had a fun time reading it. I think it was steamy and the Daddy Dom Kink was on point.
I liked the fact that Noel isn’t as sweet and innocent as he appears. He has a darker, bloodthirsty side to him that slowly starts to show. He’s small, spicy and stabby. I loved the dogs too. I found this story and their relationship overall to be very sweet. It’s a mafia story; there’s violence and death, but Noel and Barrett made a lovely couple. While this story was relationship-focused, there's a mystery subplot with a bit of a predictable twist. There's some things you have to suspend your belief for.
Overall, I really enjoyed Beast! It was a fun and spicy Mafia read!...more

This story had an interesting premise, and I wanted to enjoy it, but it was a miss for me.
We have Dante, the son of a mafia Don and his childhood friend Preacher who is taken in and raised to become a bodyguard/capo. As they grow up together, they fall in love and soon discover that they're both into Daddy Kink, and their relationship shifts into that dynamic. They must also keep their relationship a secret because homosexuality is not accepted in their world.
This story is supposed to be dark and sexy. At least that's a fair assumption since it's part of the Ruthless Daddies series, but it didn't feel dark to me. The initial sex scenes felt rushed and the Daddy kink also seemed superficial.
Others have enjoyed this book, so it may be a case of "it's me, not the book", and things could change/pick as the story goes on, but I'm calling it quits and not giving a rating....more
"If you want to hold me, you have to give me no other option. You have to force me to be in your arms."
When Benicio marries his wife, he gets compl "If you want to hold me, you have to give me no other option. You have to force me to be in your arms."
When Benicio marries his wife, he gets complacent and thinks that their dark pasts won’t catch up to them. His wife is now dead, and he’s raising his son, Miles, who is battling cancer alone. He’s a man with a dark past, the son of a crime lord, but he is trying to stay in the light for his child.
When Miles becomes too ill to attend in-person school, he reaches out to his son’s favourite teacher Mathias to work as a private tutor on the weekends. However, the school frowns upon that, and Mathias offers other tutors instead. Benicio forces Mathias into an agreement when he uses the explicit photos he accidentally sends as blackmail.
Mathias and Benicio’s relationship is quite toxic and messed up. There are a lot of dub-con elements and a lot of the time, Mathias really has no choice or has his choice taken from him. Benicio wants Mathias but also wants to ensure his son’s happiness, and if that means drugging, kidnapping and chaining his teacher, he will do it.
I enjoyed the Daddy Kink in the story. Benicio is a Daddy Dom and has been out of the scene for a long time, and while he’s attracted to men, Mathias is the first man he becomes possessive of and he wants as his boy. He’s a caring daddy but there’s also nothing sweet about him.
Mathias is a bratty middle and a sub. Despite the situation he's gotten himself into, Benico is everything he’s been looking for in a Daddy Dom. He craves that dominance, to be treated rough and hurt, but he also wants to feel safe and cared for. He will do things to provoke reactions out of Benicio.
"To be treated like nothing by someone who sees me as their whole world. To hurt and cry before being cared for. I want to know I'm safe with you but not always feel like I am. Does that make sense?"
Will I still try to run again? Probably. But not because I want to leave. No. The chase is too good. Me feeling helpless and in danger brings me a pleasure I can't get anywhere else. So does him going through desperate lengths to keep me here.
There’s literally nothing healthy about their relationship, and while Mathias is attracted to and wants Benico, the lines of consent are heavily blurred.
Sometimes I don’t know whether I want to be here on my own or if he's made me feel like I have to be. Are my feelings real or have I learned to be so dependent on him, I no longer know how to stand on my own? Do I really have a say in what happens or is he controlling my answers too?
I liked how Mathias showed his true self as he got comfortable with Benicio; with his current boyfriend, he had to hide parts of himself (and got mocked for his needs), but with his Daddy, he could let go and be himself. I also enjoyed the gunplay and the primal play.
This story is a slow burn so it does take a while until the spicy spicy scenes there's a lot of sexual chemistry between the two.
Overall I really enjoyed Lessons! I was excited to read Ashlynn Mills’s entry in the Ruthless Daddies 2 series and loved the relationship between Mathias and Benicio.
There are a lot of darker elements, violence, dubcon/CNC, cheating (not between MCs) and more that may be triggering - this is not a fluffy romance. Please check the author’s note and TWs....more
Surrender is an MM Mafia romance part of the Multi-Author Ruthless Daddies 2 series.
Cristiano, consigliere "My lover, my would-be assassin, my boy"
Surrender is an MM Mafia romance part of the Multi-Author Ruthless Daddies 2 series.
Cristiano, consigliere of one of the powerful Dons in New Bristol, goes to his warehouse to finalize a deal. What should have been a routine meeting with no issues turns into chaos when the other party fails to arrive, and an attempt on is life his made.
Fox has been sent to take out Cristiano. He ends up failing, getting injured and captured when he’s caught up in an explosion. It seems that he was also set up and was meant to not return from his job. Fox, now a prisoner of Cristiano, starts to question his feelings and where his loyalty lies as he gets closer to the mafioso.
I liked how their relationship developed and grew as they worked together to figure out who hired Fox to take out Cristiano. Their connection is instant and intense. Fox had no childhood and was raised in a toxic environment to be an assassin by an abusive horrid man. The kindness and care that Cristiano shows him rattles him, and he doesn’t know how to accept it. He only knows punishment and pain. He’s a masochist and a boy but lucky for him, Cristiano is a Dom and a Daddy who is ready to give him what he needs.
“Punishments are beatings and whippings and spankings, not… not some fucking words.” I try to fight, for all the good it does me. Punishments are just supposed to hurt, and feel good when I push against the healing wound, not do… whatever the fuck he’s doing to my head.
“Sometimes crying can be cathartic.” Especially in battered and beaten boys, who weren’t brought to love the pain but instead to fear it and crave it out of some misguided sense of needing to be punished
“Fox, Fox, Fox… I just want to find out everything about you and tell you all the good things all the time until you start believing them. I want you to realize you’re worth more than just being fucked and used and… beaten.”
Cristiano does give Fox the pain he needs and craves. He has a tight control of his emotions, but with Fox as his sub and boy, he can push their boundaries further to points that he could never do with other partners in the past. Fox desires harsher marking and a really firm hand.
I also loved the possessiveness between them. Once they’re together, Cristiano is ready to remove anyone who hurts or makes a move on his boy. He’s soft only for him and makes his ownership clear.
I decided somewhere in the middle of that that I’m going to keep him. He’s mine, whether he wants to be or not, and I’m not letting him go. He can be an assassin, my pet assassin, if he needs to risk his life for the sake of adrenaline or money or whatever else motivates him.
“You’re mine,” he says, and there’s such confident assurance in his voice that I can’t help but believe him. “I’m not giving you up, Fox. Even if you want me to, I… Call me an abusive bastard if you want, but I’m not letting you go.”
There's a couple of side characters that caught my eye and would love to see more of them.
This story is definitely on the darker side and has violence, it’s a mafia story after all.
Overall I really enjoyed Surrender! I’m quickly becoming a fan of Mafia romances and this one checked off a lot of boxes for me, loved how it had many elements I enjoy reading in darker romances.
If you enjoy dark mafia romances, Daddy kink, age gap, D/s I recommend it. Please check TWs as this story has content that may be triggering for some.
“My little breeder needs to let go. Now be a good boy and let Daddy fuck the milk out of you.”
Exactly as the title says, this is a Daddy Dom omegave “My little breeder needs to let go. Now be a good boy and let Daddy fuck the milk out of you.”
Exactly as the title says, this is a Daddy Dom omegaverse erotica with a heavy dose of lactation kink.
Lukas was kicked out by his father at 18 when he presented as an omega. He was raising his young siblings while his drunk father was out doing god knows what. He did not get an education since he was tasked with childcare after his mother died.
He answers an ad for a 'wet nurse' and ends up in the home of Mr Chernov, an alpha who is a widower with an infant child. Lukas goes in thinking a wet nurse is another word for a nanny but soon realizes that's not the case when his body reacts and his 'breasts' starts to develop in order to feed the child he has bonded to.
This was a very short and kinky erotica. I really, really enjoyed it and wished it was longer. I would have loved to see Lukas and Chernov's relationship fleshed out more and some mpreg as well. There is so much potential but overall I loved it....more
“This boy was mine in every way. He was mine to care for, mine to love and treasure, mine to pleasure, mine to tease, and mine to protect. Biological “This boy was mine in every way. He was mine to care for, mine to love and treasure, mine to pleasure, mine to tease, and mine to protect. Biologically, spiritually, and in every other way. Wild belonged to me. He wanted me. Had chosen me.”
Sins of My Father picks up right where Son of a Sinner ends. Penn discovers that Wild is his biological son and now questions everything about his life, including how his ex gave up their child. Penn feels so guilty about his feelings towards his son, and Wild does not make it easy for him. He loves his father as a lover and wants to put their past behind them and focus on the future and their relationship as lovers.
I loved Sins of My Father. It was emotional, sweet and erotic, everything I love to see in taboo incest stories! I loved how Wild knew what he wanted and did not let Penn deny his feelings. He got him to understand that while he suffered going through the foster care system, Penn has given him so much love, security, and worth.
“You were the first man who ever wanted me. The first man who accepted me. First to ever touch me or kiss me. The first man who fell in love with me and the first and only man I’ll ever love. When I say, ‘You are my everything, my whole world’, it’s not because you matter most. It’s not because I’m in love with you. It’s because you fill every single role in my life.”
“You gave me a life worth living, a future. You created me. You’re my best friend. My father. My partner… and my lover. It begins and ends with you, Penn. It’s always going to be me and you. Till the end of time.”
I enjoyed their Daddy/Boy relationship, Wild is a bratty boy. There are a lot of kinks explored - food play, spanking, belt play, and more. I loved how steamy and sexy the story was.
I am glad that Penn realizes that he can’t drown in guilt and shame. They decide to move away to an area where they can start over with no one who knows them around. They meet another couple, Austin and Marcus, who also have their own “not socially acceptable” relationship. They become close and finally find people who they can be open with regarding the nature of their relationship. I hope Austin and Marcus will have their own book!
“I will always love you, Wild baby. Never, ever doubt that. If you woke up tomorrow and decided you never wanted to kiss me again, I would still love you forever, any way that you needed me to.”
Overall really enjoyed this duet, especially Sins of My Father. This story may not be for everyone, so please check the trigger warning. However, if you enjoy taboo, age gap, incest stories, erotica, Daddy/boy, and kinks, I recommend it....more
Chance has watched most of his friends find their forever boys. While he's happy for them, he also feels envious. He's a Daddy with a dad bod and feelChance has watched most of his friends find their forever boys. While he's happy for them, he also feels envious. He's a Daddy with a dad bod and feels he's lacking in the looks department compared to his handsome friends. He has a bit of a complex about it, so when Charlie approaches him to be part of a kink-centric charity auction in which Boys and Littles bid on a Daddy, he doesn't want to be part of it. However, he decides to join since it's a good cause for the community and to his surprise, the man the wins him is his childhood best friend and crush from 20 years ago.
Kade returns to his hometown 20 years after being transferred back to his company's headquarters. He remembers how he betrayed his friend when he decided to work for Chance's father. He's lived with guilt and not letting anyone get close to him. He seeks punishments at kink clubs to help deal with his feelings. He's never let himself enjoy anything, not even fully indulging in his Little side.
This was a cute second-chance romance. These two men, who are now 38, reconnect, and so much hurt and emotions that have been unresolved for so long. I loved how sweet and forgiving Chance was. He understood the choices Kade made back then, even if they hurt him at the time. Despite losing touch, he forgave him a long time ago. However, Kade, on the other hand, carried his pain and allowed it to impact his personal life in so many ways. They both understand that they were teenagers at the time and things were not so black and white.
I liked how Kade was allowed to explore more of his Little and puppy side with Chance. He's so sweet making sure he feels secure and his needs met. I don't think I ever read a story in which someone was a puppy and a little, so that was interesting. I liked how there was no big miscommunication or break up, they laid everything out, talked about their feelings and next steps, and never kept any big things from one another too long.
As with other books in this series, I liked how the author has the characters discuss limits, consent, and safe words in depth. Chance was hesitant about the puppy play, and while Kade was interested, he took the time to research and understand what it entailed. Discussing aspects that work for them and what doesn't was nice to see.
Overall I enjoyed Chance's Choice! I can't wait for Josh's story next....more
“Just so you know, I would let you collar me any day. I’d serve you on my knees without having to be coerced.”
We met both Miles and Rubble in the pr “Just so you know, I would let you collar me any day. I’d serve you on my knees without having to be coerced.”
We met both Miles and Rubble in the previous book. Miles was an assistant to Mort at the crematory but ends up losing his job when the place is taken. He's been at the mercy of a loan shark ever since his father took out a large loan to cover his eye surgery as a teenager. With his father unable to pay back the money, he's became the plaything and servant of said loan shark while being groomed. Rubble is tasked with watching over Miles and soon finds himself infatuated with him.
I was not too fond of Rubble in the previous book due to his actions and words towards Cass and Mort. He could not take no for an answer. However, once he and Mort put everything behind them, he becomes much more likeable. Especially once he gets involved with Miles and we learn more about him. He really comes to care for Miles and wants to take care of him as a Daddy. Miles has been taking care of his father, paying off his debt on top of being subjected to humiliating activities by the loan shark. He wants to be cared for and not have to always fend for himself.
I enjoyed the found family/friendship of the boys. They reach out to Miles and try to include him, and as much as he wants to be a part of them, he's worried about his situation potentially impacting them. I've come to adore Fable, Jaime, and Cass, so seeing Miles join them was cute.
This book is Daddy/boy lite. I just felt like it didn't go far enough for the kink which is the same issue I had with book one.
This book was also the least spicy out of the series. There aren't a lot of sex scenes, but the ones we do get are good, as expected of Gianni.
Overall I did enjoy it and look forward to the final book in the series, Crowe's Creed....more
Fable’s Foe picks up right where Biker Daddy ends. Fable, the Mayor’s kidnapped son, is rescued with Jamie and brought back to the MC headquarters as Fable’s Foe picks up right where Biker Daddy ends. Fable, the Mayor’s kidnapped son, is rescued with Jamie and brought back to the MC headquarters as a sort of hostage. Despite being a victim himself, he’s a liability to the club as he witnesses them kill.
He’s under the care of Booker, the club’s enforcer, as they figure out what to do with him. However, as Booker and Zak work on their relationship, they realize they’re both falling for Fable and soon bring him in as their third. This story was long and had a lot going on. We have kidnapping, two major betrayals, mentions of SA, and also Daddy/Little.
I went into this story already aware that it was going to be a triad but had I read Biker Daddy first before Bay, I would have been surprised. This is because initially, it felt like to be a set up of a second chance romance between Zak and Booker, not a triad. Especially considering all the history, sexual connection, and intense chemistry between Zak and Booker, their relationship with Fable feels a bit uneven, even if he does fit in with them.
Fable is a little the age he regresses to his four. When Zak and Booker learn about Daddy/Little relationships and what it entails, they quickly provide what Fable needs and become his Daddies. Seeing the enforcer and VP of the club providing space and toys he needs when he’s in his little space was cute.
Fable was betrayed by his ex-caregiver/lovers and his mother. She is a demon, and you can’t feel sorry for her. So I am glad he ended up with two caring men who would do anything for him.
I also felt really bad for Zak and how things transpired but I guess it's to be expected.
Gianni never fails to write steamy scenes and Fable's Foe was no different.
While I did enjoyed it I do wonder if my feelings towards this story would have been different if I read before Bay. While I won’t actively seek out MM+ stories, I don't mind committed poly relationships and liked the dynamic between Zak, Booker and Fable.
While Fable is a little, there is no sex while he’s a little or ABDL (Only one scene with his ex caregiver which is super brief). Please check TWs.
Side note - I can see why fans of the series were surprised when it was announced that Fable’s father Ger would get his own story....more
“When I’m through with you, there will be no doubt that whether I’m beside you, in a prison cell, or in my grave, I’ll always take care of you.”
Aft “When I’m through with you, there will be no doubt that whether I’m beside you, in a prison cell, or in my grave, I’ll always take care of you.”
After reading Bay and loving it so much I had to go back to the origins of Smoky Vale and started the Grimm Tales of Smoky Vale series.
Biker Daddy is the first book of the series. We have Jaime, the son of the police chief, who has been in love with Grimm, the president of an Outlaw Motorcycle Club for a long time. Since he was thirteen, he has been doing everything he could to get the older man to look his way. He leaves behind Smoky Vale to go to medical school in Boston but returns home years later to complete his residency and claim his man.
Grimm has done everything in his power for his son Joel and Jamie to leave their small town behind for a better life. He has worked hard to keep both boys away from the MC life. He's also been pushing away Jamie's advances since he was a teenager, but when he returns, he quickly finds out that his obsession and love for him has not waned and only intensified over the years.
I enjoyed this story; as usual, Gianni's writing is so addictive. It was hard to put Biker Daddy down. It was a pretty gritty story, and while not dark dark , there was a fair amount of violence, death and blood. It was very character and relationship focused with a mystery subplot.
As usual Gianni writes very hot sex scenes, and I enjoyed each one. This story sort of played with the tropes and relationship dynamic between Jamie and Grimm. Grimm is older, dominant, ruthless, and very much alpha outside, but there's a flip in the bedroom. In which Jaime is in charge, or rather, Grimm seems to top from the bottom. This subversion might not appeal to everyone especially if you're looking for a traditional Daddy/boy relationship. He gives up control and lets Jaime take charge, but both still see themselves in the respective roles as Daddy and Boy outside. Grimm fully trusts Jaime and is the only who sees this other side of him.
“I’d never seen Grimm cry before. He was not that kind of man. Allowing himself to unravel before me was one of the greatest signs of how much this man and I shared. How much trust existed between us.”
“I loved the vulnerability that I saw in his face when he allowed me to fuck him in the good ole missionary position. It was my favorite because then I could stare into his face, seeing every rapt look of wonder that crossed his features when I was pushing inside his body.”
This leads me to one issue I had with this story. The Daddy/boy kink strong. I felt like it was very surface level, and outside of them referring to each other as Daddy or Boy, it just wasn't there at least to the depth I would have like to see. Grimm is protective and takes care of Jamie for sure, but it could have been pushed more in my opinion.
“I loved Grimm Buckley more than life.”
“I’d had a crush on Grimm since I met him; then I’d fallen madly in love with him when he bought me my first professional makeup kit, so I’d stop getting breakouts from the cheap stuff.”
“You are mine to protect, Jamie,” I told him fiercely. “For as long as you are here in Smoky Vale, you are under my protection. That means I’ll have to make tough decisions sometimes. I may have to be harsh with my men because if they don’t respect me as a leader, then they’ll want to overthrow everything my family has worked hard to build.”
There's a great cast of side characters. I like the closeness, loyalty, and brotherhood between the club members and looking forward to a few of the members' stories. I especially can't wait for the Twins because there's something taboo going on between them for sure.
Overall I enjoyed Biker Daddy and look forward to the next book Fable's Foes...more
Forbidden was a steamy, kinky, and tender age gap cartel love story.
To start, this story is connected to Conflicted, and it is recommended that you reForbidden was a steamy, kinky, and tender age gap cartel love story.
To start, this story is connected to Conflicted, and it is recommended that you read it first for the best reading experience as some incidents are referenced, but that being said I think you can still enjoy Forbidden without having first read Conflicted.
We have Enrico, the son of a powerful drug lord. He is the heir and, as such, has had a target on his back. He's suffered a traumatic injury on top of his chronic illness and is trying to live while not feeling like the world is swallowing him up. He has been attracted to his father's second-hand man Fernando who is also his godfather.
Fernando knows that anything and everything will be used against you in their world. He knows that his dear friend's son is in love with him, but giving in to him not only means betrayal but homosexuality also is not accepted in their world. He's been protective of Enrico, but now those feelings of have slowly morphed into something else, something he has not felt for anyone ever since his wife died.
“Will saying what you think I should hear allow me to kiss you whenever I want? Crawl into your bed at night and wake up next to you every morning? Will you always be able to hold me when I feel like my world is going to shit without worrying who might be watching?”
I really liked Forbidden. I liked that you could feel the tension and angst between Enrico and Fernando. While Enrico wants to be with his godfather no matter what Fernando knows that their relationship can't be. I liked the longing and that their relationship took time. While the attraction was there it didn't feel like insta lust to me.
"It's unethical and goes against everything I stand for. I was raised to be against what I have with you. To marry a woman and have children. Not wanting to spend my life with a man who's not only less than half my age but also someone I once considered to be a son.”
"If only I could have him this close to me all the time, holding and touching him without a care in the world. His body pressing to mine is the equivalent to linking the missing piece that completes a puzzle."
I also really enjoyed the D/s dynamic in their relationship and the knife play! It's still lighter on BDSM but I always love a good age-gap relationship, especially if it's on the more taboo side. The chemistry between the characters is excellent, and the sex scenes are really steamy. I also enjoyed the touching, holding, cuddling, and just how Fernando cared for Enrico. Their relationship is so tender and sweet. It's just those little things Fernando did for Enrico that just made me into goo.
“There isn't any going back now, pequeño. My love for you has grown way too much for that, changing into something I never thought I deserved to have again. But you deserve it all and because of that I will do anything I can to give it to you.”
Overall I really enjoyed Forbidden and loved Fernando and Enrico's relationship. This story ticked a lot of boxes for me and had good time reading it.
Please do check TWs as this story has some dark elements, blood, and violence....more
