4☆ So wrong but pretty fun.🫣🥵🤭😂

I mean, at least they’re not related. I do occasionally have some taboo standards left lol 🤣😇

[probably reading smut - safety reviews · Rating 3 out of 5]

3/5 I looked down to see where I was disappearing into my niece and groaned at the sight. Her pussy was so puffy and red from how rough it’s been treated.

Let me start off by saying... this is NOT my usual read. Plot aside, I was really surprised by the writing style of the author - I really liked it! B. Sobjakken is talented, that's for sure. They write spice well. ;)

I'm not a fan of cheating books, so I'm surprised I liked this one. In it we have a niece who, several years ago, had a massive crush on her aunt's husband (no blood relation). Fast forward to the present and he shows up on his niece's doorstep. He takes a sleeping pill and that's the beginning of their adventures, LOL.

Yes, he's still married to the aunt when this happens. They sneak around behind her back which kinda made me uncomfortable - but she was a raging bitch so it didn't bother me that much, lol.

I was pleasantly surprised by this novella. I can't wait to see what the author writes next!

"I'm gonna fuck my baby into you. I'm going to fill you with my cum every day till you're swollen with my child. And I will keep doing it because I need this, I need you."

SAFETY:
Virgin/celibate: no virgins
OM/OW drama: MAJOR ow drama - H's wife/h's aunt
Cheating/sharing: no cheating between main couple but Hero cheats on wife to be with heroine
Tropes & Keywords: uncle/niece relations (no blood), age gap
Triggers: dubcon, cheating
Kinks: breeding, hand necklace, rough sex, light somnophilia, dirty talk, light daddy kink
HEA?: yes

Just under 50 pages of uncle smut 🤭🤫😆

This is messed up mainly because of the cheating; the mmc is married to the fmc's b*tch aunt. Still not an excuse, but I'm here for the smut, so... 🤷‍♀️🤣 Gotta say it was hot despite them being wrong together; add in the breeding kink, and that made the story more of a clusterfxck. 😂 
 
Anyway, this is a novella, and I threw my morals out the window before reading it. 🫣 I'm in the mood for something taboo that doesn't involve an actual blood relation between MCs, so this works fine. 🤭

My questionable TBR adds today are because of Missy! 😂🫣

Guys … I liked this a lot 🧍🏻‍♀️
No but it was really hot!! And I kinda liked Emma’s and Jamies get together hehe. But I‘m usually not a fan of cheating (not to the MC here) but damn Jamie’s wife was nasty so I didn’t care💀

[Debbie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Three and 1/2 stars. This one wasn't quite as good as Deceitful Dreams, but wasn't bad considering it was only 49 pages. Author actually got quite a bit of story details into such a short novella.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

So I could have my smut probably. But hot damn, binging all these Sobjakkens book, made my day. Truly. The fact that they are all so short is perfect for me.

In this one, we have an uncle-niece relationship (related through marriage, not blood related, thank god for once). Cheating is present, since the guy is still married to the aunt, make that do as you would like.

Like I said, I'm just here for the smut.

[Sara · Rating 2 out of 5]

Short smut with age gap, aunt's husband. There were some weird breeding kinks in this that I really wasn't a fan of. Also there was some weird family dynamics that aren't entirely explained, and felt there was enough space to do so.

[BookishAnya · Rating 3 out of 5]

Simple, smutty and effective. I didn’t love this one as much as the previous work I’ve read by this author but I still enjoyed it!
If you’re looking for a short taboo romance without a lot of angst then I’d recommend this for a easy read.

spicy little read

For a first book, this little novella ticked all the boxes. It was steamy, taboo, and moved quick. Definitely excited to see what comes next!

[Mandy Reads Indie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Quickie Review: This book just absolutely gutted me. I was immersed from the start and greedily devoured every word within minutes it felt like. The romance and spice was beautifully done and I loved these characters. Why couldn’t these stories be longer? If you are looking for some amazing, spicy age gap romance with a smidge of cheating all in a one sit read, this one was done perfectly. 5 Stars!

[Natasha Allen · Rating 3 out of 5]

It delivered in what it said it was. Steamy, quick, taboo. I didn’t enjoy it as much as the other I’ve read from this author but was still enjoyable!

[Mysti · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a good start.

Emma (20-ish) is startled awake when her hot uncle, Jamie (40-ish), shows up on her doorstep in the middle of the night. Jamie takes a sleeping pill and ends up in Emma's bed - sexy sex happens - he realizes he slept with his niece instead of his wife. But who cares?? His marriage was a sham anyway.

The sex is good, breeding good. Writing is a little amateur-ish, but I still enjoyed it.

[PleaseGoAwayImReading · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very quick read, this has age gap, taboo (niece/uncle but not blood related), slight dubcon, a little somnophilia, breeding kink, other woman (niece is OW) and an HEA.

That said, I enjoyed the story of Emma and Jamie. I’m always interested in crushes, pining, and the forbidden so this is right up my alley. The spicy scenes were good but felt a little undeveloped. When I was reading it felt like they were explicit in some parts but then glossed over in others even in the same scene, which felt weird.

I gave three stars because while I did enjoy it, I would have enjoyed a more developed story even more. If you’re looking for a brief story and don’t mind non-blood uncle and niece, age gap, breeding kink, a little “other woman” drama, and a happy ever after then you’ll enjoy this.

"Emma?" I exclaim and then throw my head back, shouting "Fuuuckkkk," as I come deep inside my niece."

This was a fun taboo escape. An uncle stays with his niece (no blood relation) and takes a sleeping pill that ends up changing their whole dynamic. I think this could have been even better in a full length novel. But what you get is some drama, spice and kink. It was entertaining. There is cheating, but written in a way that most won't mind I don't think. Entertaining short taboo read.

What You'll Find:
-Short Erotic Novella
-Taboo Romance
-Uncle (by marriage)/Niece
-Age Gap
-Secret Crush
-Sleep Spice
-Breeding Kink
-Cheating

If you know anything about me I love a @brookelynnebooks book. And this one didnt disappoint. It's short, sweet and utterly smutty. I ate their story up! If you need a quick smutty read then this is the one for you!

[Amy Bergesen]

A spicy little novella that is truly all about the spice (not the editing). Emma has always had a crush on her aunt’s husband, Jamie. His marriage was arranged and is loveless, clearing the way for insta-love.

Sexy times were hot, but the family backstory was a bit too complicated.

[Blair · Rating 5 out of 5]

I needed 50 more pages. This whole story was HOT! HOT! HOT! The way I will eat up a Brooke novella every damn time. We love a forbidden/taboo romance. Excellent. Absolutely, excellent.
