Forbidden Desires

Park Avenue Elites

by Mila Crawford

Sarena

Sebastian Vaughn was supposed to be a means to an end. He needed someone to take care of his niece and I required a steady pay-check to pay for college.

I never expected to crave a man who was sixteen years older. But after a stolen kiss my mind was consumed with a desperate need for him.

Under his steady hand he unleashed a whole new world filled with carnal desire and a web of depravity. It was a world that I never wanted to leave.

Sebastian

She wasn’t supposed to be anything more than an employee. But I wanted to corrupt her. To mold her. To take care of her.

With every passing day, my obsession with her grew fuelling my desperate need.

She was far too sweet. She appeared far too innocent but I didn’t care. I longed to make her mine.

After all those who are forbidden are always the most tempting.

4.5 ⭐️

Muahahah I love when I can read a Mila book! This one is delicious!

We got a grumpy billionaire boss looking for a nanny and that's where Sarena comes in, there first meeting was tension up the butt since Sebastian was alittle rude to Sarena and I really wanted her to sass back but she needed the job so she held her tongue. That was one of the reasons he hired her another reason something drew him in. The first couple days was tense since again Sebastian like to talk his smack, but the more they spent time together the more he feel head over heels.

As for Sarena even at 20 she knew what she wanted and made sure little Emme had everything she had even time with her cranky grumpy uncle. I loved that they did spend time with her, now onto the play time. Lord Mila can do no wrong when it comes to her men Seb was so dirty and did some dirty things my panties needed to be changed..my oh my.

Not really a huge plot more spicy with 2.4% plot lol. Go read daddy Sebastian.

⭐️🖤🫦 4 FORBIDDEN STARS 🫦🖤⭐️

I want to make clear first that I was given an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review and rating.

Forbidden Desires is a nice read to try if you want some delicious and thigh-pressing smut with an (non-predatory and with both consenting adults) age gap and an easy-to-follow and fast-paced romance story. It kept me hooked from the start!

Sebastian and Sarena are heart-warming characters, and I wouldn't dare forget cute and sweet Emme.

I like Sarena as a FMC because, even if she isn't as complex as other female characters from the same author, she has a bubbly, caring and resilient personality that brings beauty and humanity to the story.

If I'm being honest, I wasn't too kin on Sebastian at first. He seemed rude, self-centered and dismissive to the FMC's experiences. To my pleasant surprise, we get to peel the layers of his character, to the point that we understand certain behaviors. He also apologizes to Sarena and owns his mistakes, which is a breath of fresh air in this genre.

The smut is intense from the very beginning, and it won't leave you indifferent 😉😏. Seb and Sarena engage in mind-numbing BDSM dynamics but, unlike other love interests in smutty books who constantly push the woman into positions regardless of her boundaries and emotions, he prioritizes Sarena's well-being and reassures her that she has a choice and a voice in bed, he doesn't take advantage from her inexperience. The scenes go straight to the point, and I doubt you will be disappointed with the level of spice 🔥.

It's not like the book is flawless: I would have loved a deeper insight into the characters, the dialogues can be simplistic to a fault sometimes, and I can't keep wondering if some cringe-worthy parts, like the Twinkle Toes nickname or telling gossiping strangers in the street that your boss has 3 fridges as a comeback, were unironically brought to the pages or not.
However, those things didn't keep me from devouring this sinful treat of a book.

If you would like to try Mila Crawford's books but aren't sure if Dark Romance and hardcore BDSM are your cup of tea, I would 100% recommend Forbidden Desires as a starter book. If you're already a fan of Mila, this book is an assured addition to the steamy gifts she brings to the world 😌.

Did I already say it has two epilogues and a beautiful HEA?

HOLY HOTNESS!!! THAT WAS FIRE!

Mila never disappoints with the story behind all the amazingly dirty spice! I loved Sebastian and Sarena! This took Forbidden age gap to a whole different level… Daddy K!nk with some amazing degradation. I will always always read anything and everything Mila Crawford writes!

Sebastian and Sarena caught the pages on fire!! Sebastian was a grumpy and driven lawyer, and Sarena was the nanny for his niece. The sexual tension was through the roof until one day they just gave in and he became daddy Sebastian to Sarena. Spicy, spicy read!!

Mostly smut. Sometimes cringey smut. I have nothing against it but I like romance along with the spice. There was no development here. Only a lot of telling about their tragic pasts and a whole lot of derivative and unimaginative dirty talk. Meh. Also, Twinkle Toes is not a cute nickname. It didn't even make any sense. She stumbles so he calls her that. It was idiotic.

Hot damn I loved this story 😍😍 we know Sarena as Elis little sister from Cruel Intentions. Sarena gets a job as a nanny for Sebastian. Sebastian is hot older and kind of closed off. He needs a nanny for his 3yo niece that recently lost her parents. Sebastian sees Sarena and falls hard and fast for her...even though he kind of doesn't know it himself at first. 😉 He wants to be her Daddy and her to be His.😍😍 This was a hot and steamy reads with steamy hot 🥵 scenes that make you sweat😉 Instalove, steamy, sweet, darkish , romantic ,kinky ,spicy and safe (long celibate H and virgin h) with a sweet HEA and without drama 😍😍😍😍

✨ARC REVIEW✨

Forbidden Desires is a age gap, nanny/boss romance. Can be read as a stand alone but has interlocking characters.

Sebastian Vaughn was thrust into fatherhood when his niece comes to live with him. Struggling to work and be a new father, he is in desperate need for help. What he doesn't expect is to fall for his nanny.

Sarena cant seem to get her life together. One failed job after another leads to falling into the arms of Sebastian, literally. She finds her self landing the perfect job with the perfect little girl. What she cant afford to do is fall for him.

This one had it all!! Its not as dark as Mila normally rights but it hit every spot! It was quick and too the point! I loved the dynamic of them! UMM and excuse me, a beer bottle!!!

This had me obsessed from the beginning! While not as dark as some of this Authors other works, the spice was on point!

Daddy is said roughly 140 times throughout this book! And Sebastian is exactly that.
I could not get over the mouth on this man.

Sarena is such a sweet FMC, you wanted the best for her. I loved how caring and open she was. She was perfect for Seb and he was perfect for her.

Please check TWs.

Daddy Sebastian..whew baby!

This follows Sarena, Elis from Cruel Intentions baby sister and we have Sebastian Vaughn who is a hot shot older Manhattan Attorney. Sarena ends up scoring a nanny job for Sebastian to help care for his niece whose parents died in a car crash and sparks are evident from the beginning.

This isn’t dark or deeply traumatic, just a smütty time with some tender moments!

Also..do any older Manhattan attorneys need a nanny? Asking for a friend 😉

[Nicky Anderson · Rating 3 out of 5]

In Forbidden Desires we meet “Daddy Sebastian”, a 36 year workaholic, wealthy lawyer who came from nothing and works hard to make sure can have anything money can buy.

His world is massively changed when his sister and brother-in-law die in a car accident, leaving him the guardian of his 3 year old niece Emme.

Enter Sarena, our 20 year old virgin heroine who is in school studying childhood education and is looking for a summer job to help her pay for college. She applies for the job of Nanny to Emme.

There is a lot of sexual tension between Sebastian and Sarena, and it’s not long before sparks are flying. Sebastian tries to resist giving into it, until eventually, he can't handle it anymore and he decides Sarena is his.

Sebastian becomes a dominant man (in the bedroom) who loves spanking, bre3ding, and degrading Sarena, but finds she is more than a match for him in everything they do together.

This novella isn’t as dark as some of Mila’s other books, but the 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️!!!!!!!

I received this as an ARC and would definitely recommend it.

“You drive me fucking crazy. I’m a man who prides myself on my sense of control, but it seems I don't have any when it comes to you, Ms. Brooks.” 

“I’d trade it all for one lick of your pussy. You have any idea how fucked up that is? To have a taste, I would go back to living on the streets. I grew up around junkies, Angel. I swore I’d never be one. I was around that shit my entire life, and I never tried it, not even pot. But here I am on my knees begging for a minor hit because I don’t think I can survive without it.”

“But the thing is, Baby Girl, I’m not from your world, and if you’re gonna be here with me, you need to know who I am. I’m a possessive man. What’s mine is mine. And you, Sarena, belong to me now.”

“I was dead on the inside before you came, Sarena, and suddenly there was someone adding brightness to my dull life.” He grazed my lip with his thumb. “So pure, beautiful… You consumed me in a way I didn’t think was possible. From the beginning, there was something familiar about you, something that made me gravitate toward your sweetness. But that feeling was so foreign to me.” 

“If you’re brave enough to let me into your heart, I promise I’ll never break or bruise it.”

“I’ll tell you every single thing you want to know. I’ll rip my heart out and lay it at your feet. I’ll fuckin’ kneel before you and make you my queen, but I’m not what you see. I’ve got scars and a history, and most of it isn’t pretty. I like control, and I like to fuck hard. Some of the shit I like probably borders on insane. But I promise, Sarena, I’ll never hurt, abandon, or betray you. I’ll give you whatever you want. I’ll put you and all the kids we’ll have first.”

“I love you, Sarena. I never thought I could fall in love with anyone. I closed off that part of myself years ago. But then you tripped into my life, and there was no going back. I need you to know that no matter what, I love you. I will protect and take care of you. You’re always safe with me. I may wear a suit, live in an enormous apartment, and have enough food in my fridges to feed a small country, but I came up on the streets. Out there, your word is the only thing you’ve got, and my word is yours.”

“I will never abandon you. Ever. I keep my word. If I tell you I’m yours, then I’m yours and only yours. I don’t know how to tell you what you mean to me. But I promise I’ll spend every day of my life showing you. I want you, Sarena. I want you and Emme and more babies. It’s you and me, Sarena. Forever. It’s you or bust for me.”

“You’re the best thing that ever happened to me. A hundred lifetimes wouldn’t be enough with you.” He dotted kisses along my lips. “I love you more than I knew was possible and more each day. Thank you for saying yes all those years ago. To the job, to Emme, and to me. You and Emme and Jack are my reasons for living.”

Okay sometimes you just need something that is going to disintegrate any panties in sight and this was that book. It's short and steamy as hell and though there isn't much plot to it we still get a wee insight into these characters and it was enjoyable as hell.

-Daddy kïnk to the max
-Age gap
-Nanny/Boss
-Degradation
-Praise kïnk
-Cream-pie (clean up)
-Spït play
-Insta-love
And oh so much more...

Sebastian (I freakin' LOVE that name always have) is downright filthy, every time he opened his mouth I thought I was going to combust. He is the grump to our sunshine, he fought like hell to get to where he is today and he won't let anything take that away from him. So when his sister and brother-in-law die and he is left to look after his niece he has no clue what to do. Stability is something he can always provide her but love? Well, he isn't sure he's capable of that. He's had a hard past that we do get a wee look at. He is a man so set on not letting anyone close he sure is swoon-worthy with some of the things he says, others well they are pure filth and I was here for it all!!

Sarena is a young woman looking for the extra money to put herself through the rest of school. She is sweet, great with kids and doesn't expect to find Sebastian. She knows what his niece needs, even if that's time with her grumpy uncle and Sarena is ready to fight him to give it to her. She literally nearly falls on her face the first time she meets him, she doesn't think she'll get the job never mind everything else that's about to follow.

They try to fight the attraction (well not really too hard anyways) but damn something so wrong and filthy shouldn't feel so right but it does it really freakin' does!

This was a deliciously dirty read and just what I needed.

Holy moly!

I received Forbidden Desires as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Forbidden Desires is a short and spicy novella that you need in your life, especially if you love a little or a lot of Daddy Kink. Forbidden Desires is a 16 year age gap romance where he is her boss and she is his nanny. Things get hot quickly and this is an excellent one handed read for when you just need something to take the edge off.

Forbidden Desires is the story of Sabastien, a 36 year old high powered Park Avenue wealthy lawyer who came from nothing in the Bronx, working his way up to having everything money could buy in this life. His world is turned upside down when his sister and brother-in-law die in a car accident, leaving him the guardian of his 3 year old niece Emme. Enter Sarena, the energetic and beautiful 20 year old virgin heroine who is in school for early childhood education. Sparks fly, attraction is restisted until finally Sebastien can't handle it anymore and makes Sarena his. And boy oh boy does he ever make her his. Sebastien is a filthy talking, bed tying, spanking, bre3ding, degrading dominant alpha in the bedroom who finds his match with Serena.

Forbidden Desires should not be missed and connects well if you have read her last work; Cruel Intentions as Devlyn and Ellis are interwoven into this story. Definitely check out her trigger warnings at the front of the book or on her social medias. Do not go in blind as there are a variety of tropes and triggers in this scorching hot book.

[Heather Douglas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mila is known for her dark romance but even though this book isn't as dark it's still just as spicy. This is Sebastian & Sarena story with a taboo, age gap, boss/employee romance.

Sebastian's world came crashing down when his sister and her husband died in a fatal car accident. Now he is raising his 3 year old niece which he knows nothing about taking care of kids. He's a work-aholic who never saw himself as a family man but he knew his sister would want Emme (his niece) to be with him. So, he does what every other work-aholic does and get a nanny.

Sarena is looking for a summer job to help pay for college. So, when her friend Devlynn suggests she apply to be a nanny for one of her family friends she thinks why not. She's going to school for early education as it is. But the moment her and Sebastian meet, they know they are going to be trouble. Especially with her being the live-in nanny. The tension between these two are intense. They each feel it, but between him being the boss and being older, he holds back. Until he can't any longer.

Forbidden Desires is short and spicy. The perfect blend of spice and plot. If you haven't read the first book Cruel Intentions yet please go do so. It is Devlynn and Elis's story and they are interwoven throughout this book. It is not required to read it to understand this story but it makes it more powerful that way. As always please check TW before reading! Thank you, Mila for an ARC copy of Forbidden Desires. This was a fantastic read and I can't wait for Bryce's story next!!

KC Rating: 3.5🍁 | 2🌶

This was a short and spice filled read that i devoured! There was a decent plot, but i don’t think it was the focus of the story. It was the first time that the author’s note at the beginning made me google one of the trigger warnings, so that was fun.

Meet Sarena - a 20 year old university student who applied for a nanny job with Sebastian Vaughn - an older (by 16 years) lawyer who needs help with his niece. The attraction between the two is instant, but it takes them some time (specifically Sebastian) to finally act on it, and hell their first time (which is also Sarena’s first time) is explosive!

For those of use who get off on daddy k!nk, this is the book, add some br33ding kink, a bit of degradation, dash of c*m play and paise k!nk and some other stuff as well, and you’ll have your next read!

Rant/spoiler section:
Now remember how i said there was plot but i don’t think it was the main focus? Here are my issues with it:
1. What happened with Sarena’s studies and aspirations? That was never mentioned.
2. Why was it such a shock that she got knocked up after a year? Like it’s a shock that it took so long, considering how much Sebastian wanted to get her pregnant.
3. Why was Bryce even introduced if nothing happened with that storyline? Was it just to introduce the character for the next book?

[Shelly Rogers · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh Mila...is there anything you can't do? Because clearly writing books is what you were made to do.

Now, to the future readers, here's the first part that you need to know. This is a NOVELLA. I say that because often I see people wanting more, but novellas are short and fast paced. This is no different. It's also a VERY spicy slow-ish age gape romance. PLEASE read the TW before you proceed with this book.

We have Serena who is a 20 y/o woman looking for a job. She also happens to be Elis's sister from the first book. She gets set up with a job interview to be a nanny, which she is only intending on doing temporarily until she can finish school and become a teacher. He soon to be boss is a sexy 36 y/o lawyer, Sebastian. When his sister and her husband are tragically lost in an accident, he assumed guardianship of his 3 y/o niece Emme. He knows his attraction to Serena is wrong, and he tries so hard to stay in the employer zone. But seeing her with Emme, her concern for them both, and fits so well in their lives, he just can't not have her.

Again, I say read the trigger warnings. I hate to make this statement, but not all books are for everyone. There is some things in there that some people may not be comfortable with. Mila is FANTASTIC at putting it all out there for you in the beginning. So please make sure you give that page a read before proceeding. Then sit back and enjoy ALL this book has to offer. Happy Reading Ya'll!

Forbidden Desires by Mila Crawford ARC review

Once again I am completely obsessed with the possessive and obsessive men that Mila writes! They are just over the top in every way possible and I LOVE IT!

Sebastian is in need of a nanny for his niece that he recently has to take in. While waiting for the women he is supposed to interview to show up he gets bumped into by miss twinkle toes herself.

Sarena is going to Mr.Vaughn law firm and she knows she is late and ends up bumping in him. She thinks he isn't going to hire her for the job but she ends up getting it on the spot.

As Sarena is taking care of Emme she realizes that she is starting to really care for her. She is also getting these forbidden feelings for Sebastian because he is her boss and she can't get him out of her head.

Sebastian knows that he shouldn't have feelings for her because she is only supposed to be the nanny but he is drawn to her and he just wants to give her everything. The spicy scenes between them holy shit!!! 🥵 I needed about 10 glasses of water after reading this.

The spice queen has done did it again!! Mrs. Mila gave us all the spice in this one!! Forbidden Desires is a short read about a nanny and a billionaire lawyer that never wanted to be a father but life had other things in store for him even with his past. Sebastian was thrown in the deep end of fatherhood and since he was a big shot lawyer he hires a nanny that steals not only the heart of his little girl but she also steals D@ddy Sebastian’s heart as well!!

At first Sebastian gives off very much alphahole vibes but quickly (after chapter one) becomes a caring and loving dad and d@ddy ( yes there is a difference). This book dives into the d@ddy , degr@dation, pr@ise, and br33ding k!nk world and I was there for it!!! When I tell you that the scenes in this book were *chefs kiss* perfection I fully mean that!! This book was HOT 🥵 Steamy, And DELICIOUS!! I devoured it in 5 hours and the things that were done with a champagne and a beer bottle was simply amazing 🤩 lol!!

Sebastian is sooo filthy!! This book was so addicting, I loved Sebastian & Sarena, & hated that it was over so quickly! These 2 had explosive chemistry & the s3xy scenes were off the charts HOT!
Sarena was hired to be Sebastian’s nanny for his 3 year old niece. His sister & brother in law passed away weeks prior & he was given custody, he never wanted kids & didn’t have time for them, but he was the kind man who didn’t walk away f/his responsibilities. But he had absolutely no clue what to do w/her, especially when it came to giving her love. Or so he thought.
Sarena was perfect for him, she broke through his tough heart & made him see happiness- something he’s never really had. She easily fit into his life & quickly filled pieces he had been missing.
I loved Sebastian, he had many sides to him- the dominant, aggressive & possessive one, and the loving & gentle side. But there were times he was a major a**. But oh the mouth on him… 🥵🥵🥵
This book was everything! Absolutely perfect, & I can’t wait for Bryce’s story next!

Desperate Times Calls for Desperate Measures

Age Gap Forbidden Romance. “Forbidden Desires” is the second book of the Park Avenue Elites Series by Mila Crawford and is a complete standalone—dual POV. FMC is 20 years old, and MMC is 16 years older than her. Please read the Trigger warnings.

Twenty-year-old Sarena (FMC) recently graduated from NYU and desperately needs a job. She is hired to be what Sebastian (MMC) calls a “gloried babysitter” but ends up becoming more. Sebastian recently had to adopt his brother’s three-year-old niece Emme. The romance and spice - which is frequent - happen pretty quickly between the two. At times, I had to remind myself that it was a shorter story after all, and that’s why certain things were happening quickly. However, I’m not sure how Sarena’s inexperience in the bedroom turned so rapidly experienced unless she’s a fast learner. I guess she’s not an NYU graduate for nothing. I give four stars for being entertaining in a short amount of time.

A happy find for Sebastian

This is book two of the series Park Avenue Elites. And it definitely read better than book one for the storyline. Fair warning on this one, the lead male character enjoys a few kinks, they were in line with his character however some many not like it. I missed not having any other sub characters or subplots going on, but I did enjoy the two main characters. Sebastian is a powerful lawyer who is friends with Devlynn’s family from book one. He saved Elis from prison time as well. So when Devlynn heard that Sarena was looking for a good paying job she remembered that Sebastian was looking for a nanny and recommended her. Sarena is so cool and kicka55. She studied early childhood development plus she is a fantastic cook. On the first day of being a nanny for Emme, Sarena had the house clean, toys put away, plus a hot dinner on the table. Who wouldn’t love her . . . . Sebastian arrived at home and was stunned that his house smelled so delicious plus he eat a homemade dinner. Read On.

Every time Sebastian opened his mouth I thought I was going to have a damn heart attack.

Serena is just looking for a job to get her ready to go back to college. When she's referred to a position as the nanny to the city's biggest lawyer, she thinks she's mentally prepared for the position. But, once she meets Sebastian she realizes how out of her comfort zone she is.

Sebastian is too jaded, too old and too busy for a family. But, he'd never abandon his own which is how he finds himself a newly single dad. He needs help and hires Serena on the spot. He figured she'd just be another employee but she's perfect for his little girl and, despite every reason he comes up with, perfect for him too.

I love how Sebastian and Serena have not-so-happy pasts. It helps them relate to one another.

This book is filthy, smutty and sweet. Prepare for so much dirty talk you'll get a freaking FEVER!
(But also a sweet HEA that made me tear up a tiny bit)
