His to Keep

Rate this book
Trigger Warning(s)
His to Keep is an extremely taboo FICTIONAL novella between blood relatives. If this is not something you’re comfortable with, please skip it. Trigger warnings include grooming, noncon, dubcon, a forced scene between main characters and one by a secondary character to the main character, breeding, incest, family sex, including group. MM/FF and MF scenes. Note to Reader: Just because I enjoy writing this doesn’t mean I condone any noncon behavior unless it's consensual noncon, but sometimes I have no control over the voices in my head.

BLURB:

Everything changed the day my mother died,

The carefully crafted lie she weaved came undone, and my world unraveled along with it.

Even though I’d witnessed her bend and then ultimately break with my father’s cruelty, I had no clue how vicious he could really be until I was the only thing he had left to control.

But sometimes things aren’t always what they seem, and better the devil, you know, than the one on his way.

I don't even want to rate this book. It's that bad. How can someone normalize r@pe while stating it as a non-con. I can't believe that. Moreover, stating that girls are a tool to satisfy men and breed kids. I mean are you serious. There are some amazing taboo romance books but this is a shit.

Tropes:

>> Taboo romance
>> Age-gap
>> Dad x daughter
>> R@pe
>> Non-con
>> Punishment
>> MM / FF romance
>> MF romance
>> Mention of suicide

The worst book that I have read.

There are so many triggers in this book I don't even know where to begin but the reason for the 1 * was the asshole "hero", I hated him.

0✯

-virgin heroine (17)
-dual POV
-rape/incest -the H rapes his daughter, the H's brother rapes the h (the asshole even raped her with a knife), the H's brother used to rape his sister (mother of his daughters), the H used to rape the h's mom (H's sister), the H's father used to rape his daughters, the H's brother raped his daughters (he raped his older daughter so bad she bled to death)...
-violence, death, abuse, murder
-MM - H and his brother
-FF - h and cousin
-MFMF - H, H's brother, H's niece and h
-MF -H and daughter, H and niece, H's brother and daughter, H's brother and h, H and sister
-voyeurism
-exhibitionism
-golden shower
-epilogue - 5 years later - the H had 2 kids with his daughter and 1 kid with his niece, they're all happily living together (I wonder if he will eventually rape his new kids when they grow up 🤔)

Definitely not for the faint of heart. It is filled with trigger warnings, taboo relations and just when you think you’ve got it figured out boom something else drops and you will be left shocked. I did love how it ended for everyone involved because the girls deserved to have it better than before. And hey those smutty scenes were honestly spiced up! 🔥

Two stars.

Honestly, the theme and the circumstances were just too intense for me. It went beyond what I’m usually comfortable reading. I knew it was going to be taboo, but this felt heavier than expected.

It wasn’t even about being shocked — it was more about feeling overwhelmed. The situations were extreme, emotionally dense, and hard to process.

I don’t have much more to say. It was just… a lot.

Very taboo. Very intense.
And for me, too much.

Two stars. ⭐⭐

Leí las advertencias y, aun así, tomé la decisión de leerla porque quería intentar algo nuevo y ver si era de mi agrado.

Aprendí que no, que este tipo de tabú no es lo mío. Pero, dejando de lado el tema del incesto perturbador y generacional (me cuesta creer que el protagonista sea tan «atractivo» cuando su familia lleva mezclando sus genes durante generaciones y generaciones. Lo mismo va para su hermano, su sobrina y la propia protagonista; ellos definitivamente no deberían lucir nada bien), está el hecho de que el protagonista es un hombre malvado y cruel sin razón.
El tipo es 100 % machista, cosa que no debería sorprenderme, pero resulta incómodo leer sus pensamientos y comentarios sobre cuál es el lugar de una mujer en el mundo según él. No tengo ese tipo de fetiche de sumisión, así que no lo comprendo. Cada vez que tocaba su POV me sentía incómoda. Por suerte, eran cortos y soltaba uno que otro dato sobre su perturbadora familia.
Esta historia no es de romance. Es más un caso de abuso donde tenemos el POV del agresor y de la víctima, y hay muchas escenas sexual3s innecesarias porque no aportan nada.
Realmente no aporta absolutamente nada ver una y otra vez cómo él se la tira.
Sé que seguramente el objetivo del libro es excitar y que la autora no consideró necesaria una trama, pero creo que le habría hecho ganar muchos puntos si realmente le hubiera metido una.
Lo único interesante, para mí, fue lo de Cole y M. Si el libro hubiese tratado sobre esa relación tabú, quizás mi experiencia leyéndolo habría sido otra. Pero incluso eso no duró.
El libro es corto, pero lo sentí demasiado largo y pesado. Cuando lees la décima escena de s3xo entre ellos, además de incómodo, ya se siente aburrido. Además, de repente, aparte del incesto, también había poligamia.
Siento que este libro está dirigido a hombres, no a mujeres, porque, aunque el tema del tabú extremo te guste por morbo, el final es completamente insatisfactorio.

This is Inferno's trailer park cousin. Their family traditions include creating a daughter with your sister, making boy children disappear, losing your sister-wife to an untimely death, & taking your daughter as your new wife.

I never comment on editing issues for a book but I could not ignore them in this one; they were large & awkward. One scene looks like it was re-written a bit differently but both versions were left in.Then you have this feline quote:
Uncle Mason withdrew his cock from June's pussy, turning her onto her back so he could suckle her tiny kitties.🐱
Maybe that's not a typo I have no idea.
"Feel how good that is, baby?" You love this fucking Daddy cock, don't you?" "Yes, Daddy," I moaned like a whore.
Is it dirty? Yeah, there are several pretty dirty scenes like this. Feel free to add a couple stars if we're just talking smut value.

Cole's little bro Mason & Mason's daughter/wife June eventually come to live with Eve & Cole. Mason is a total asshole but he and his big bro have some sexy time before everything goes to hell.

I can't say this has an HEA because there are children produced from these folks and I doubt anyone is going to break the cycle. On the bright side Dad has become much more lenient & helpful and finally allows the girls to attend home school.

His to Keep takes readers into an extremely dark and taboo story shaped by family trauma, manipulation, control, and deeply complicated relationships. The death of the protagonist’s mother exposes painful truths about the family and leaves them facing a disturbing new reality.

What stood out to me is the psychological tension created by the uncertainty surrounding who can actually be trusted. The story continually challenges the idea that things are what they initially seem, while the protagonist tries to understand the people and circumstances controlling their life.

This is clearly intended for readers comfortable with very dark and transgressive fiction. It should appeal to those looking for intense themes, psychological tension, complicated power dynamics, and stories that deliberately explore uncomfortable boundaries.

Look to the left. Effing. Look to the right, oh effing. Who are they effing? Say what? Daughter? Oh. Dad was married to his sister? Right. His brother and his niece come over for a visit. So? Brother was married to their younger sister. Brother checks out his niece. Dad says Nah, man. Dad hooks up with Brother, though. Oh, and his daughter sees all of this. So, yes, not for the newbie taboo reader. “His to Keep” is a harsher, more wild, taboo story, not a romantic one—physically and verbally, which could either be a deterrent or a draw. A long list of triggers and content warnings must be read. Buuuutt. And a big but at that—it is full of detailed smutty scenes. I did like that Evelyn did get some cajones. It was entertaining.

first off, this is my first time reviewing a book here.

this book is a short read, i think at only 50 pages or so. it is an EXTREME TABOO book so read at your own discretion. i honestly don’t know what to say about this book other than it’s just pure p0rn. there’s not much going on with the plot (but given that its a short read, but still) almost if not all of the book is about them having sex and there’s not much going on other than that. i also didn’t like how the girls are just agreeing to these, like they didn’t even tried to fight or something.

Now I get into some freak shit but this has to top most of the shirt I’ve read and that’s saying something. Don’t read this if you aren’t into taboo or like your books vanilla. I think all the people who didn’t like this just weren’t into it or couldn’t handle the subject matter. But for readers who aren’t a stranger to this material, look no further because this will be right up your alley or at least have you questioning things about yourself. Anyway whoever this author is I applaud you for writing material that’s not for everyone. That takes bravery in the least. Kudos to you.

2.5⭐️ That was something. This is the second book I’ve read from this author, and I realize she likes to keep it ALL in the family. She definitely writes extreme taboo. This one was more rapey than non con. Not sure I like this but also couldn’t stop reading. Her stories draw you in because you want to see how twisted and fucked up it can be lol. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

Ok, seré sincero, leí este libro solo por qué había FF y quería leer algo con eso.

Claro, me gustó la historia, aunque si hubieron cosas problemas, puede que hasta incluso el hermano de Cole haya aparecido solo para enaltecer al MMC.

Posdata: tiene mucho parecido con Inferno de Yolanda Olson.
