Dad Can't Know
No one plans to fall for their dad’s best friend. But I did…
Callum Reinhart moved across the country two years ago. I was finally just over 18 when he left and cut ties with us, taking away with him the opportunity to tell him how I’d stopped thinking of him as Uncle Callum and started thinking of him as an older, wiser, sexy man.
But he’s back now, two years later, and so much has changed.
My mom abandoned us. My dad is an emotional mess.
And Callum doesn’t look at me like I’m a kid anymore.
He’s as hungry for me as I am for him. We know it’s forbidden—dirty and intense.
That’s not enough to stop us, though. Even though we should.
Not when it feels so good.
All I can do now is keep it a secret as best I can, because there’s one thing I know for my dad can never know…

Robin is in a pickle she’s been harassed by a coworker about being his date so she tells him she already dating someone which is a tiny lie, so now she needs to find a date.
She remeets Uncle Callum at the bar and they hit it off all those years of wanting are finally being opened up. Now they have some fun in a room and leave eachother for the night. But that doesn’t stop Callum he got a taste now he wants forever. It’s alittle hard since Robin does push away alil and dealing with her father. It’s a doozy but they finally take that step. And he shows her he is 10000% down. Which I loved that he was the one who wanted her didn’t matter that his best friend was the dad. You go Cal!!!
Sexy moments and drama when the dad finds out. I’m glad it took dad awhile and didn’t really kill the best friend for loving his daughter.

Thank you to the author for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a hot, short story that is tons of dad's best friend goodness. MM MM MMMM. Callum has known Robin since she was young, but he didn't become attracted her until she was of age. Robin, likewise, has been in love with Callum since she was eighteen. When her mother destroys her family, Robin tries to hold everything together and she thinks she has to put her wants, needs and feelings aside for her dad. But Callum wants to show her that she doesn't have to.
Cal was H O T. And the way he took care of Robin was swoonworthy. Also, this book has ASMR kink which I've never read about in books before and it's super intriguing. I don't think it's a kink that would do anything for me IRL but I'm curious to know if it features in any other romance books.

Eva Marks has become my unicorn author. Her books are always entertaining and extra steamy 🥵
I devoured this novella in one sitting, and i've unlocked a new kink (ASMR kink 😱). Callum and Robin were on fire!! i loved how real and relatable they both were. Their relationship was forbidden (he is older than her and her dad's best friend), but at the same time, it felt so right for them to be together. And dang, uncle Callum's filthy mouth could make any woman melt 🔥. Overall, this was a quick read with a heavy dose of steam, perfect for anyone who loves age gap romances and wants to discover some new kinks.

Short, sweet, and SPICY. Eva is the novella queen! This forbidden romance was hot, but also had so many sweet moments. Robin is 20, and has been hiding her feeling for her dad’s best friend for the past 2 years. Callum has also loved Robin, but not long after she turned 17 that love changed, and now neither of them can fight their attraction and connection any longer, they’re just worried what Robin’s dad Wes will think - especially since he’s fighting his battles at the moment.

Thank you to the author for providing me with an E-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!
This book follows Robin and Callum and how their hidden feelings become exposed when they run into each other in an adult club. Robin is looking for a fake date for her work office event to avoid her annoying co-worker who keeps flirting with her. Robin is given a business card for this adult club to try and find a fake date, little did she know she would run into her Dad's Best Friend, Callum.
This book is a little bit different than what Eva normally writes, and I absolutely loved it! I have never heard of an ASMR kink or read a book with the ASMR kink, until I read this book! I can say that I have a new kink unlocked. This book is SOOOOOO filthy, Callum's mouth should be illegal, cause what this man says has me BURNING.

Please be known that Robin does call Callum, "Uncle Callum", but he is not really her uncle -- Robin's father has known Callum for a really long time, and he's been part of the family. If you're looking for a quick, forbidden, & filthy read, this book is for you!

The level of heat this book gave me, should be illegal! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ No question.
I loved every second of the movie that played in my head, while reading this book, the angst, the selflessness, the fear, the anticipation, right down to the scorching culmination of them colliding.
My kinky brain was happy, what else can I say? 😏🫠🤍
Possessive, domineering, controlling, but in the best freaking way, Callum easily took his place in my heart.
Robin is the best daughter a father can have, so devoted, so loyal & loving, you could taste her struggle, how much it hurt to do the things she did.

Dad Can’t Know by Eva Marks
This is an Age-Gap Novella it’s fast paced and spicy!
🛑No blood relation🛑
Robin is our sassy, independent, motorcycle riding FMC. She has had feelings for someone she shouldn’t for the past 2 years, not long after she turned 18 to be exact those hormones hit her hard.
Robin gets a text from her sister that their parents have been radio silent for longer than normal, so she heads to their house to check in on them. She finds her dad crying a man she’s
Callum is our motorcycle riding, layer, mature MMC. A few months after Robin turned 18 Callum started having forbidden feelings for his best friends daughter. He tried so hard to push the feelings aside, the only solution he could think of to avoid these feelings was to move as far away as possible. 2 years passed, one day a frantic phone call pulls him right back into the situation he tried so hard to avoid.
Will these 2 fight their feelings or give into them? Will they let their hearts or their conscience win in this game of love?
Plot:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice:🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
For your please here are a few of my favorite Uncle Callum quotes:
🖤”Baby, you’ll look so beautiful choking on my cock.”
🖤”What I feel for you, this isn’t some oversimplified emotion like affection or caring. It really is love. All-consuming, ever-lasting love.”
🖤 “I’m going to own your tight little hole. You’ve been bad, really fucking bad. I planned on kissing your pussy, sucking your clit. You would’ve come so hard your muscles would’ve relaxed and you’d be dripping wet on my sheets, ready for my size to fill you up. Now, I’m leaning toward pinning your knees to either side of you, spitting on your cunt and fucking you so hard the bed breaks.”

Robin's life lately has been a tornado of different situations: her mom abandoned them, her dad gone has gone into his sad boy era, and her co-worker just keeps harrasing her. So, when she has to attend an important work party and he once again harassed her, she says she has a boyfriend that she'll be bringing along. Except, there is no boyfriend. That's hot she finds herself at a bar of sorts looking for a date.
Fortunately or unfortunately (however you want to see it), she bumps into her Uncle Callum - her dad's best friend - who's back in town to cheer up her dad. Though they haven't seen each other in a long time, that doesn't stop Callum from having a taste of what's desired for so long. There was a bit of hesitancy from both parties on how they could work around their already established relationship into this new one they wanted to explore together.
Dad Can't Know also explored the world of ASMR k!nk which I found very intriguing. I had never read a book with this trope before. It is a quick read and it's more loving and sweet than angst and tension but it was still pretty good.

Eva Marks really knocked it out of the park with this one. Callum is such a stud who knows exactly what he wants and how to get it. I fell in love with Robin's sassy personality.
The ASMR k!nk is a new trope for me. I absolutely loved it! Eva Marks definitely sparked a new favorite.
I do wish the story was longer. I loved the relationship between Callum and Robin. The book ends with a HEA, but I wanted it to keep going. I wanted to know more about what happened next.
I can't wait to see what books Eva Marks come up with next, I'll definitely be reading them!

♡ This book. I think it was one of the spiciest books I've ever read in my whole life!!!! Seriously! The spice was soooo H O T! And Callum and Robin's relationship... they were so cute together! I knew I would like it because anything written by Eva is incredible, but I didn't expect to like it THAT much! I thought I might die with how spicy it was, for real!!! It was super incredibly insanely hot! And the whole ASMR kink?!?! Mama! I need more recommendations! This is new to me, but this certainly won't be the last book I read with this kind of kink! Enough about the spice (even if it's one of the best parts), I really, *really* like Cal and Robin's dynamic. I can't get enough of this book... I finished it not too long ago, but I just want to read it yet again! (It won't take me really long to do a reread, though...)

This is the first book that I’ve read that has an ASMR kink and honestly I loved it. The plot of the story was a bit meh for me, but the spice was so good. Lots of dirty talking and very descriptive sex scenes. So if that’s your thing and you’re looking for just a quick spicy read here you go.

This novella is a quick spicy, age-gap, dads best friend sweet romance that also includes ASMR and a touch of taboo. To be honest it was the first time I had read a book with ASMR kink and I would defiantly read another if they were written like this one. The taboo aspect is more to do with the Callum being the best friend of Robin’s dad since they were young and has seen her growing up, so she calls him Uncle Callum. It is made clear in the story though that they both started having feelings for each other when she was over the age of 18. If you want a quick spicy fun read a with a possible new kink then give this one a go.

Eva never disappoints with her spicy novellas! This one brought a whole new word to me, ASMR Kink… I had no idea…
This story is forbidden, dads best friend who is considered an uncle. Age gap, and praise/dominance. It was a fun read on this holiday and I have a new appreciation for men that wear lots of rings 😏😉

KC Rating: 4🍁 | 1.5🌶️
Another quick and great read from Eva Marks! Full of forbidden desires, age gap, a new unlocked kink - ASMR k!nk, and great spicy scenes!
Now, there was parts, which were predictable, but it didn’t matter, as the plot was progressing nicely anyway! It would have been probably great to see more on the whole mom leaving and not really caring about her kids. But i guess that’s a different story.
I loved Callum and Robin. It was also great to see that Callum fell for Robin after she turned 18, and his abstinence for 2 years, now that’s a man in love! Their chemistry was great, and that scene at the dinner? Callum, Callum, you naughty, naughty man!

“Thou shalt not fall for thy best friend’s daughter.”
Callum and Robin started falling for each other shortly after her 18th birthday when their views of one another started to change. “Uncle Callum” (her father’s best friend) has been around her entire life, until one day he suddenly moves across the country before she can confess her feelings. When Robin’s family starts falling apart, she knows Callum is the only person she can turn to for help.
Callum runs into Robin when he returns to the city, and the feelings they have been trying to suppress over the years come to a boiling point. One night, just light fun, couldn’t hurt anything…right? As long as her dad never finds out…
“Dad Can’t Know” is a quick spicy read about two people who can’t help falling in love with each other no matter the consequences.

Callum runs into Robin when he returns to the city, and the feelings they have been trying to suppress over the years come to a boiling point. One night, just light fun, couldn’t hurt anything…right? As long as her dad never finds out…
“Dad Can’t Know” is a quick spicy read about two people who can’t help falling in love with each other no matter the consequences.
July 2, 2023
Dad Can't Know was about Robin "Robi" Fontaine, a 20-year-old college student, and Callum Reinhart, a criminal attorney, and her father's BFF.
Both Robin and Callum started developing romantic feelings for each other around her 18th birthday but neither of them acted on it. In fact, to avoid doing so, Callum moved from New York to California just so he didn't cave in to his desires. While he had remained celibate during their time apart, Although Robin had one relationship in the 2 plus years they were apart, it didn't last long and she didn't hook up with anyone else
When Robin's younger sister called to tell her that she couldn't get ahold of either one of their parents, she went to check on them. She found her father in his room in tears. Not knowing what to do, Robin reached out to the only person she could think of...Callum. He calmed her down enough to be able to talk with her father to find out what was wrong. She soon learned that her mother had apparently been cheating on her dad for at least a year (with her former high school sweetheart) and that she had left him for the other man and filed for divorce.
Two months later, one of Robin's male coworkers, who enjoyed harassing all the females, kept putting the moves on her. Even when she told him she was in a long-term relationship (a lie), he wouldn't back off. A female co-worker told her of a club she should go to in order to find a date for an upcoming company event so that the male coworker would back off. She thought it might be a good idea as well. Not long after arriving at the private club, Robin soon ran into Callum...literally. One thing led to another and they were given the key to a private room where they engaged in ASMR. Once it was over, Robin asked him to exit first, then she'd follow. She didn't see him again until her dad invited her and her sister to a weekend lunch. Unknown to either sister, he had also invited Callum.
although neither one of them wanted to hurt her dad, they both gave in to their mutual feelings and started a secret relationship that lasted for months. When her dad finally found out, things didn't go the way either of them thought they would.
Yes, I left a ton of information out, mainly because I didn't want to spoil it for the next reader. However, I also gave more information than I thought I would. It was a really enjoyable age-gap story.
The main characters were a bit wishy-washy at times, but they were both well-developed and mature. There was plenty of push-pull between them, but neither walked away when things got hard. While they did show respect for each other and give space when one of them asked for it, there was no breaking up.
The story had a good amount of angst and drama, but it had a smidgeon of humor and heartache as well. The storyline had plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader glued to the pages. However, it also had plenty of unresolved issues. Robin's mother was never heard from. She didn't have any place in the story other than to be mentioned from time to time, but she never showed up back up or contacted her kids after walking away from her marriage to Robin's dad. It would have been nice for her family to get closure in that respect. There was also the issue with the guy at work who enjoyed sexually harassing his female coworkers. Nothing was ever done about him other than Callum telling him off at the party.
Even though it had a few issues, it was very well-written and an enjoyable love story. It definitely earned a five-star rating. I hope the author writes two more stories to go along with it, one written about Robin's sister, and the other written about her father finding happiness.

3.4/5
Hmm, idk where to start from. Usually when I love a couple enough for them to cloud my brain? I know it. Somehow, this just didn't do that for me. It's a steamy romance between the girl and her father's best friend. As interesting the trope sounds, the plot was beautifully simple and handled. The problems faced by the couple were shown beautifully and smoothly, the way Callum would process her emotions, be there for her, go easy on her was quite heart-winning. And vice versa, Robin's constant fear of her das finding out and her reacting to it was all written genuine.
Where did it go 'not my favourite book' for me? Three things.
1. ASMR kink. For someone who feels turned on by this? Sure, you can give it a try but rest assured, it did nothing to me, lmao. Not a fan of ASMR kink sex.
2. The mother. When you touch a topic, it is also another form of art not to visit that topic in a solid manner but still cover it up pretty much in the most solid manner. Sometimes, it does look good to touch a subject and leave the reader waiting for the answer or the scene to witness. Even if the mother did leave the dad for her ex, nothing is shown of her which is disappointing. She is mentioned in the whole book but the least could have happened was had some sort of confrontation with her, or some memory or anything to give shape to the image of the mom we tried to have in mind. There was nothing related to the mother which automatically made it seem a bit empty to me.
The dad, on the other hand, is shown remarkably.
3. The dad finding out the romance and sex between his best friend and daughter. It seemed that the author rushed the ending because she was too tired and wanted to just end this. When a dad finds such a thing out, there is usually more drama, more talkings, more hardships the couple faces before reasoning comes to hand. Here, even after the dad found out as he walked right on them doing the deed, he smacked him, said 2 lines and then, "If you're happy, I am happy." The end. I mean.....what? That instantly just deflated me because the rise of emotions weren't there what I wanted. I wanted the proper emotions and the proper scenes, not this.
Anyways, a good read still

Miss Eva you sure know how to write novella! As y’all know if you have read my reviews before me and novellas have a love hate relationship, purely because I’m greedy 🤣 however what I love about Eva is often she will carry those mains we love so much into another novella and my appetite is satisfied haha.
So what to expect;
- Dads best friend
- Age gap
- Forbidden romance
- Dual POVs
- ASMR kïnk (new kïnk officially unlocked)
- Praise kïnk
Our two leads are Callum and Robin, they have obviously known each other for a long time. Only ever seeing each other as found family, Callum being Robins dads best friend, lead to him being known as ‘uncle’ Callum.
Until one day things changed.. they had always been close but they started to look at each other a little differently…
They really try to fight it but this attraction refuses to be ignored and one night changes everything.
Callum he is a successful, well respected lawyer and the man has one hell of a dirty mouth and he knows how to use it! He has always been there for Robin, he loved how close they were but one day a few months after her 18th birthday he looks at her and see so much more. He wants more, and because of that he moves away. Literally takes himself away from the temptation he knows he should have, can’t have but oh so desperately wants.. so much so he see no other women now. But one night comes where she needs him, his best friend needs him - can he put his feelings aside and be there? Or will his hidden desires ruin it all?
Robin she may be young but this girl knows what she wants and it isn’t any of her silly coworkers how try to hit on her. Her heart isn’t hers to give, she lost that years ago only he doesn’t know and honestly I don’t think she herself knows how deep it’s gone. She started to see ‘uncle’ Callum as so much more 2 years ago but then he disappeared. She knows it’s wrong, she fights it with all she can, not wanting her father to see her differently. He’s been hurt once, she tries to pick up the pieces and she refuses to break them.
I really enjoyed this book, for a novella we get given a lot by the author. There is spice🔥🔥 yup you know I added flames, there is character grow and some seriously cute moments.
But we all know secrets can’t stay hidden for too long, jump on in and see if they can make it work or if it all comes shattering down…

Trope:
•Age Gap
•Forbidden Love
•Dad’s Best Friend
•Dual POV
•ASMR K!nk
•Praise K!nk
•Touch Her & 💀
Eva Marks is a new author for me and HAWT DAMN her writing is 🤌🏼 If you want a quick forbidden steamy read then Uncle Callum will definitely fulfill that fantasy for you. I know he did for me.🫠
I fell in love with Robin within the first two pages, she is so sassy, independent and sensitive!
“Uncle” Callum ummm…. this hotty got right under my skin and stayed there through the whole book with how possessive he was towards Robin and how much he adored her I am still trying to recover from this man 🥵
That ASMR scene 🥵 WOW never thought I would be so turned on by scene like this. Eva I NEED this book to be in an audiobook with @therealjoearden voicing Callum but it NEEDS ALL the sound effects too, so I could close my eyes and experience it like Robin. 🫠
I instantly melt with good age gap and/or forbidden romance but add in dad’s best friend and I am a goner.
I devoured this book in one sitting - I’d highly recommend NOT starting this at night time. It was a great read and gave me all those juicy feels I crave in a forbidden love romance
Eva if you were to write more on Robin and Callum I would definitely NOT be disappointed and would read it in heartbeat!
I am looking forward to reading more of Eva’s work and diving into her k!nky world

ARC Copy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Stars
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5 Spice
*Possible Spoilers*
This book follows Callum and Robin. Callum has been best friends with Robins father Wes since preschool. They have always been there for each other. Callum has watched his best friend grow up, start a family, and has been around every step of the way. Robin is the eldest daughter of Wes, and around her eighteenth birthday Robins feelings for “uncle” Callum have started to change. Little does she know that the feelings are mutual. Not that they could ever act on it, right? Deciding to put distance between them Callum moves across the country but what would happen if he was called home? Straight back to the temptation he fled from in the first place.
Sigh. Here I am yet again adding another kink to my list. I am starting to collect them like I’m expecting to receive a trophy for it. 😆 I enjoyed this book a lot. The build up was intense and done perfectly. And the explosion when it came to head...well let’s just say it doesn’t disappoint.
I adore how the main characters interact with each other, especially how Callum cares for Robin. The spark between them was easy to see and amazing to watch grow. I highly recommend this book to anyone that loves the tropes listed!
Thank you to the wonderful author Eva Marks for letting me get an ARC of this newest book. When it comes out in print I will definitely be grabbing it for my bookshelf.
Quotes:
“I fell for her, when all evidence pointed out that I shouldn't have.”
“It's reckless. It's selfish. It's horrible. It's everything I promised I wouldn't do to Dad the last time I vowed to never hurt him again.”

I already knew going into this Novella it was going to be damn good & when I tell you a new kink I never thought about was unlocked! This is an age gap/forbidden romance with some pretty amazing spice! Robin Fontaine has had certain feelings & attraction towards her Uncle Callum since she turned 18. Now Callum isn’t necessarily her uncle in blood, he is her father’s childhood best friend. He moved away when she turned eighteen due to his feelings changing for her & he knew he couldn’t handle being close to her, especially with her father & his best friend Wes. After bumping into each other at a “club”, they have a very intimate time together which includes them not touching each other either, but it was mind blowing. Callum is very serious when it comes to taking care of his Robin, so when he finally lets all his feelings out on the table it’s not a shock that he would go to the ends of the earth to have her. Robin on the other hand has second thoughts because her father is already struggling mentally & emotionally since his wife left him for her high school sweetheart recently, so she doesn’t want to hurt him while he is already down. My jaw hit the floor when Wes walked through that door at the moment. This novella is full of suspenseful & thrilling moments. This definitely does have a happy ending & it will have wondering if you have a new kink unlocked! Who knew you could “explode” by only ASMR.

DAD CAN'T KNOW by @evamarkswrites
If you are looking for a short, spicy and forbidden romance. This novella is for you!
PLOT: I personally loved how the plot went, both fast and fun and no loop holes present for you to get confused. As the plot kept going up you most certainly will remain captivated throughout!
CLIFFHANGERS: The book didn't have many cliffhangers, but the cliffs definitely made me turn to the next page! Especially towards the ending, hehe.
SPICE: I LOVED IT, I personally, never read a book that does mention the ASMR kink, and it had me shifting in my seat wanting to know more. The spice was also so worth it, like *whistles* damn...(fun fact: every man in every novel, is automatically Henry Cavill. SO it made the experience a whole lot better)
DETAILS: Everything in this book was detailed! The scent of Callum, Robin's voice...LITERALLY, EVERYTHING WAS DETAILED IT HAD ME IN AWE.
EMOTIONS: Most certainly, the author knew what she was doing, some scenes were like twisting a knife in my chest at the forbidden romance. Other scenes made me cry. Some scenes made me squeal. Some scenes made me kick my feet in the air like a kid. I loved it!
This book is definitely going to my REREAD list! Some novels can be read once, but this one can defo be read again! I don't often read novellas, but I really loved this one. I loved everything about it. From the very beginning to the very end! Author Eva did an amazing job with this novel, this was also the first novel I read by her and it didn't disappoint! Can't wait to get the chance to read more of you work, Eva! <3

f you are obsessed with forbidden love, age-gap and Dad’s best friend like I am, this is the one for you! You can’t forget about the spice in this that makes you wanting a cold shower! 😮💨
It was definitely a fast & steamy story that leaves you wanting more. Callum and Robin have always known each other since Callum has been Robin’s Father Wes’s best friend since preschool. He watched her grow up from a little girl to a beautiful & smart woman. When she turned 18, that’s when his feelings change into something more. He sensed a change in her but he didn’t want to act on his feelings and ruin everything, he moved away not knowing that Robin started to fall in love with him.
Years passed & he’s back to be there for his best friend who has been betrayed and left by his wife (Robin’s Mom) who destroyed their family.
Once he sees Robin, those feelings never left and are much stronger. He’s the one who knows her inside and out.
Robin has been trying to be the strong daughter and not break down in front of her father but sometimes it gets too much and that’s when Callum shows her it’s okay to let go and feel. She knows she can truly be herself with him.
To be honest I never seen or heard of ASMR kink and I was really fascinated by it. Callum is a whole different breed of man and he can definitely get it. 🥵
Will these two be able to come out on top and with his best friend’s and her Dad’s approval or will it all goes up in flames? Is there love strong enough to overcome the obstacles?
I love this novella! Can’t wait to read more from Eva Marks soon! 🖤

Thank you to the author for gifting me an ARC of her newest taboo love story.
This novella was exactly what was expected from Eva. It had all the spice that I’ve come to expect along with the taboo aspects / age gap that I adore.
Callum is Robins fathers best friend and she has grown up calling him “uncle.” When she turned 18 she realised that her feelings for him had changed and morphed in to something no longer innocent.
Little did she know, that he was experiencing the same change himself. In order to keep his distance, he moves to the other side of the country, for two years he manages to stay away besides special occasions. All until he receives a phone call from Robin about his best friend having a breakdown because his wife left him for her high school sweetheart.
They run into each other at a club and they end up in a private room together and engage in a hot encounter involving ASMR. From then they continue to fight their feelings until they no longer can and BOOM!
This one was a little lighter on the actual feed than some of her other books, but the book wasn’t lacking since the scenes that are building up the crescendo are well done.
✔️ Taboo
✔️ Spicy
✔️ Dads best friend

*New Kink Unlocked*
Robin is having a stressful time. Her mom abandoned her dad, she has a male co-worker that can't take the hint that she's not interested, and her dad's best friend is back in two after being MIA for 2 years. The last one wouldn't be so bad if she hadn't been in love with him since she was 18. She knows she can't have him. He has to remain Uncle Callum and nothing else for her dad's sake.
Callum hears from Robin after running away 2 years ago. His best friend is going through a hard time and needs his support. He rushes back to be by his side but nothing could prepare him for seeing the forbidden beauty that is the reason he ran in the first place, his best friend's daughter.
I LOVE a dad's best friends and this one GAVE. Eva Marks did a good job balancing the sexy aspect of this taboo trope with a bit of realistic concerns. Callum and Robin fight tooth and nail to ignore their feelings.
I HAVE to talk about the ASMR k!nk aspect! I thought I had an idea of what that trope/k!nk could be like, but I was blown away by how interesting and sexy it was portrayed here. Men with rings are my new thing...
This story is sexy, interesting, emotional read that I totally recommend!
