This has been a really great, super hot series so far, but Mr. Deveraux has definitely come through as my favorite in the series! I felt like there was more relationship development between them, probably since he tried to reject her for so long, lol. The storyline was interesting and it was super fast paced. I loved the complicated history between the two of them and I thought it really amped up the chemistry and fireworks between them, making everything that much spicier. And BOY, was it spicy!! 😅 I'm not usually a fan of "daddy" books, but I loved how it came started so organically through her lashing out and definitely led credence to her "bratty" persona. They definitely had some issues to work through and I felt like it made the story that much more interesting. Definitely recommend!
Mr. Devereaux gave me a love/hate feeling. Charli hasn’t had it easy and in an attempt to make some extra cash, she finds herself trying out the escort world. However, her first ever client turns out to be none other than her ex-stepfather Alistair.
Alistair is initially horrified that he has touched his ex-stepdaughter but Charli has no such reservations and proposes that she be his sugar baby.
And folks THAT’S where this story went south for me…
Was it a well written story? Absolutely.
But I just couldn’t get out of my head that Charli was chasing and throwing herself at Alistair despite all the times he tried to reject her. Have some self-respect yo.
But ya know, the steam was hot and it ended on a high note. So while I liked this, I also struggled with the FMC’s choices and the MMC’s decisions.
Mackenzy knows how to write a taboo age gap that’s for sure! This is the third one in the Taboo Series and it did not disappoint. Her books are so entertaining another one I read in less than a day, because they are just quick/fun reads. Looking forward to reading the next one in the series.
When Charlize is given the opportunity to make some quick cash to help her with rent, she takes the job with an escort service. What she doesn’t expect is for her first client to be her ex-step father, Alistair, who she hasn’t seen in almost two decades.
When Alistair realizes who the escort is, he shuts it down immediately, but has mixed feelings. He doesn’t want to be feeling all the things he does for Charlize, but that doesn’t stop them from happening. So they enter into a short of sugar daddy/baby situation that works for them. But what happens when the feelings start to get too strong?
On paper Charli and Alistair couldn’t be more wrong for each other, but they have this unique, yet strong pull that keeps pulling them back together. Their sexual chemistry is completely off the charts! Charlize is a fantastic character with her sassy mouth and she fits so perfectly with Alistair who is grumpy and broody and doesn’t like to show feelings.
Ari, Imogen, and Charli make the perfect friend group and I loved seeing their stories all play out in this series. Highly recommend this series for good age gap, billionaire books.
What to Expect: • Ex Step Dad • British Billionaire • Sugar Baby • Grumpy/Sunshine • Age-Gap • Protector
What a perfect way to end the Taboo Series, we've been introduced to Charlize since book one as the outspoken, live life to fullest friend but in this book we got to see the real person, the one that hides her vulnerabilities and childhood trauma behind big smiles and laughter. Her and Alistair (Mr. Deveraux) meeting again after so many years wasn't easy with there being unresolved issues between them but it wasn't hard either, will I guess Alistair would disagree since he struggled with the way his body reacted to the the woman he saw in Charlize now but remembering her as the little girl he once knew her as. But Charlize being the fierce lioness that she is knew what she wanted and she went after it and try as he did Mr.Deveraux never stood a chance. Their reunion in my opinion was what the blessing in disguise they both needed because it forced them to have the hard conversation, to look within themselves and relieve the burdens they've been carrying for the past years that allowed themselves to love and to be loved.
I am SO SAD that this series, that I happened to stumble upon somewhere here on bookstagram, is over 💔 these books had me hook, line, and sinker. Every one of them.
All three books are Taboo, Spicy, Angsty, Fun, and so so Hot 🥵 Mr. Bentley will have a place in my heart forever.
Mr.Deveraux is an age gap, (uhm, hello 👋🏻) ex-step dad, billionaire romance with lots of “Daddy” and “Princess” but also lots of love and swoon worthy moments between Alistair and Charli
Charli is struggling to make ends meet, and after meeting a friend at the bar she works at, she’s convinced to take a job as a “lady of the night” for a high end escort service in London.
Her first night on the job, she’s tasked to be a surprise for none other than her ex-stepdaddy, but both of them are completely unaware of that fact until things have already gotten out of hand (see: masquerade party).
Now that Mr.Deveraux has her back in his life, he’s not letting her go. And Charli doesn’t want him too. He wants to protect her, and she wants to be his sugar baby 👀
This book was freakin HOTTTTT YALL. Like spicy af. I was LIVING FOR IT. All of these books are short, sweet, and come with a guaranteed HEA.
I can’t recommend these men enough. These books seriously have crack sprinkled in there because they grab you from the first chapter and suck you tf in !
I received a copy of this arc in exchange for my honest review. WOW. The men in this series are SINFULLY delicious ! I didn’t think anyone could top Khristian and his dirty mouth, but WOW is Alistair at the top of my list in this taboo series. This forbidden, age-gap story will MELT. YOUR. PANTIES. RIGHT. OFF. I’m serious. These two are absolute FIRE together, their spice and chemistry were everything. Alistair and Charlize have a past connection and the way they are reunited takes taboo and forbidden to an entirely new level. Alistair is serious and a workaholic, and doesn’t usually do relationships. Charlize is his perfect match with her bold and sassy personality. I really loved her confidence and how she openly expressed her feelings and wants. I was obsessed with this story the second I began. It is THE perfect book to get sucked into, and I really appreciated the HEA without all the drama, angst, or third-act breakup. These two are CHEF’S KISS! Just perfect! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Oooh! I’ve been dying for Alistair & Charli! I couldn’t wait to start, as soon as it hit I was diving in. I LOVE a forbidden, age gap, step-daddy romance & let me just say… Mr. Devereaux does not disappoint! Mackenzy, once again, wrote a fantastic book. This was by far my favorite book of the series! I loved watching Charli ruffle Alistair’s feathers & get under his skin! Every time she called him Daddy to get to him I couldn’t help smiling. She had sass, was feisty & determined, had a good heart, & couldn’t have been more perfect for Alistair- she was perfectly written.m I loved every dirty second of this book! Alistair & his dirty mouth had my toes curled wanting more! It had a great plot & storyline that had me hooked, excellent characters that were so easy to love, & some very dirty & steamy scenes! I know this was supposed to be the last book of the series, but I have all my fingers crossed for more!
Man have you read the rest of the books in this series? If not you need to because they are just as good as this one. We met Charli in the first and second books where her spunk for life is beautiful. She is overseas trying to find herself and travel, but she doesn't let her friends know how hard things really are. When she takes a job as and escort of sorts she has no idea her life is about to spiral. Alistair is a workaholic who likes to have fun, but makes sure that he's all business. When his friends get him a birthday present he's about to get shock. Their passion is off the charts, but they are off limits to both of them. The reason Charli is Alistairs ex-stepdaughter. But don't get it twister there is nothing step here. Charli has had a rough life and this is her story. These two will navigate their lives and the fact that they don't want to keep away from one another. Find out though what happens when Alistair puts his foot down.
I can’t believe this series is over. I have absolutely loved each book in this series. But as I sit here all sadly tonight, I can’t help wishing there were more. I just can’t get enough of the taboo, age gap romance that Fox has masterfully created in each book. Such a talented lady.
While Charli and Alistair were not my most favorite of the trio in the series, I still loved them. They had such a unique past that made for a unique romance. This one is heavy on the sugar daddy romance, and for someone that isn’t quite a huge fan of that trope, I can definitely say Fox wrote it well and had me invested throughout. Not to mention, had me greedily reading any chance I got.
Fox really did an amazing job with this series and I loved every second of it. Taboo, age gap romance at its finest. 5 Stars.
If you like taboo this is perfect for you. I mean ex stepdad and ex stepdaughter now that’s taboo. Add in daddy and it became perfection. Charli and Alister had the best chemistry I’ve read in a long time. The angst with the push and pull made this book a chefs kiss. The dirty talk and the bedroom events were just wow. If you haven’t read this series you are seriously missing out. Honestly this series is a must read. For me it will be a reread. Mackenzy you just keep giving me books that are amazing and I just love to read them. Keep them coming.
Alistair aka Mr Devereaux aka Daddy is smoking hot!!! I loved the banter between him and Charlize, I loved these two characters together. I loved everything about this book to the point I read it in one sitting. From memory this series is 3 books, I do hope @mackenzyfoxbooks makes more Taboo books like this because it was a chef's kiss! 💋

“Some may say that's a red flag.” I chuckle. "I'm a walking red flag, baby, haven't you heard?"
✨ Age Gap ✨ Ex Step-Dad ✨ Grumpy Sunshine ✨ BDSM ✨ Sugar Daddy ✨ British Billionaire ✨ Protector
This is third and final book of the Taboo Series. When I say Mackenzy saved the best for last, she most certainly did. I liked the other two books but this one is my favorite. Maybe it's the Daddy/Princess kink or it's just Mr. Devereaux himself. Regardless, this is my kind of book.
Charlize may have grown up in a wealthy family but she never saw that money. She's struggled her whole life and especially with fitting in. Her best friends (their stories are book 1 and 2) are back in Seattle but Charli wanted to travel the world. She saved everything she could to get to London and experience life there. What she didn't prepare for was how expensive it is. So when she gets the offer to be a high end escort, she takes it. That kind of money could change her life. Except...her first client is her ex step-dad. I won't spoil any of the good stuff for you. What I can say is the spice is SPICY when Charli unexpectedly becomes Alistair's escort for the night.
I will say that Charlize did not grow up with Alistair. She was off at boarding school and he was only married to her mother for a short time. She only saw him a handful of times and it was all when she was a younger. The age gap isn't crazy as Charlize's mom had her as a teen as well. So I'd say go in with an open mind. I wasn't sure I'd like it but I definitely did.
The spice was perfection in the beginning; however, it kind of tapered off. I understand that Mackenzy probably didn't want to overdo it with the spice but I would have loved a bit more considering Alistair and his likes.
Overall, it's a great book and definitely worth the read.
This is the third and final book in the Mr. Taboo series and we finally get more on Charlize and ex- step daddy dearest Alistair.
Charlize finds herself down on her luck and low on cash. While bartending she is approached to become a high end escort. After weighing the pro's and con's she decides to give it a go. Her first (and only) service is for Mr. D for his birthday.
Things heat up quick and Charlize soon realizes it is her ex-step dad that she hasn't seen in almost two decades. Does that stop her?? No... but it stopped for Alistair as soon as he knew who it was.
Things are touch and go there for awhile, especially for Alistair since he can't get over the whole step daughter and age gap. Charlize finally breaks down his walls and the come to an agreement of sorts.
I really enjoyed Charlize and Alistair apart but I loved them together even more. They both compliment each other really well and they have amazing chemistry!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
This is the third and final book in the Taboo Series. I have loved reading this series and am so sad to see it end. This is the story of Charlize and Alistair. This is a an age gap romance that will also involve a relationship with her step-father. I loved reading this book. I am a sucker for a good age gap romance and this one certainly checks all the boxes. Alistair is looking for a way to make some quick cash. The rent is due and she is short on cash. When the escort service seems like the best way to make the fastest, most money that she can, she goes for it. You can imagine the shock and there had to be a little bit of horror that her first client just so happens to be her ex-step-father who she hasn't seen in twenty years!! He can't have this girl that he is fighting his attraction for doing the things the job entails. After all he is to wise and older then she is that he should be able to figure out a way to help her out. But will he make it out feeling nothing at all? Or is life about to get a whole lot more complicated than either of them ever imagined? I'll let you read and find out. These two couldn't be more opposite then they are. But somehow they are just perfect for each other. Their chemistry bleeds from the pages of this book. They can fight it all they want, but it is so there. She calms down this brooding man who is at time a lot on the grumpy side. She is feisty and smart and absolutely perfect for Alistair. You do not want to miss this book.
This was actually my first book that have read with sugar baby/sugar daddy vibes & I enjoyed it throughly, I won’t lie I wanted to be Charlize so dang bad. Alistair & Charlize have a history, but definitely not the type of history you’re thinking considering the big age difference, he was once married to her mother before she passed away. So when Alistairs best friends surprise him with an escort for his birthday, he doesn’t realize it’s his ex step daughter till after he finishes in her mouth & she does the same. After some very awkward conversations & sexual tension they finally reach an agreement, which let’s be honest is every females dream. Alistair is a dominant & he sure loves it when his princess takes his little black card & puts a pretty big dent in it. The way he just couldn’t hold back when it came to Charli is what really did it for me, it was steamy & passionate in the most dominant ways. Towards the end I was hanging in by a thread, but then Alistair got on his knees & I was a puddle on the floor. I throughly enjoyed these two characters & their whole dynamic, the way these two has such a strong & filthy connection in & out the bedroom was to die for. Charlize really hit the literal jackpot with Alistair even though she went through hell when she was younger with her grandmother, it was worth it to bring her to Mr. Devereaux. Let’s not forget her best friends in Seattle & what an amazing ending this book brought. Definitely recommend this Taboo Series if you’re looking for some spice & some kinks.
Mr Devereaux marks the final entry in the Taboo Series, and brings us Charlize's story. It was a fun read, filled with some complex dynamics before Charlize and Alastair finally cave. The taboo element is that Alastair is Charlize's step father, though one she hasn't seen in many years.
What ensues is a drama filled story of "will they, won't they", with Charlize being very accepting and hopeful of a relationship, but Alastair seeing the taboo and wanting to distance himself. As expected, this doesn't happen, and more drama unfolds as the concept of Charlize becoming Alastair's "Sugar Baby" comes through.
Whilst I enjoyed reading this book, I struggled with feeling the chemistry between the two main characters at times. It was deliciously spicy, and there was the underlying narrative that worked well. I loved that we were getting secrets and bombshells dropped throughout the novel, and I liked that Charlize finally got her happily ever after, after seeing her best friends get the same. And of course, I thoroughly enjoyed the cameos from said best friends. The occasional dropping of Aussie phrases made me giggle - even if I found that some of them were more British than Aussie, and confused me that Alastair didn't know of them (I'm British by birth, living in Aus btw so can give this feedback).
I’ve loved Makenzy’s taboo series, each book following one of three girlfriends finding the man they were missing in their life. This one was probably the most taboo out of the three-it is her ex-stepdad. *It is important to note here that she did NOT grow up with him. She met him as a teenager, they only saw each other a handful of times then her mom died, she went to live with her grandma, and never saw him again…until now* Mr. Deveraux is a very wealthy man with particular tastes and no desire to settle down. He often uses an escort service for *dates*, and on his birthday his best friends hire one of those escorts as his gift. Little does he know, that escort (wearing a mask to hide identities) is actually his ex-stepdaughter. She doesn’t know it is him until part way through the *experience* but even once she finds out she keeps going… When he discovers it is her, he stops them and says nothing like that can ever happen again-even though he can barely resist her. Charlize is a brazen, sassy, fmc-I’ve loved her in all three of the Taboo series books. She tells it like it is, and isn’t afraid to go after what she wants in life. Even if what she wants is her ex stepdad to be her new *daddy*. Alistair is the perfect taboo mmc-he is dark and broody, takes life seriously and tries to enforce this set of rules to prevent himself from sleeping with Charlize….until he can’t take it anymore and finally gives in. The scenes are steamy and have you salivating for more.
Damn this was so dark and forbidden and so damn . Good She's had a hard life as a child to teenager her mother was cold her step father well he was really non existent she has two bestie more like sisters she wants to go to London for awhile she's an Ozzie when she goes to London she realises its dearer than she thought she has a job as a barman but its just paying her rent and Bill's a regular customers comes in one night she's stunning the lady tells her she's an escort and that she would be great at it men would love her she gives her a card she mulls it over could she do it the money is great she's had one nighters and most were duds but could she sell her body she decides to send an e-mail thinking she want get a respond the next thing she's at a rich man's party his friends have bought her for a present for him she's nervous but praying this man can make her body sing she goes into the room waits how she was instructed its a mask party when she was at the party she found out who the birthday boy was and danced for him he watched her when he comes into the room and starts telling her what his going to do to her she feels her body and then he tells her to call him Alistair and he body tenses no it can't be him then he tells her to put her mouth around his girth when he finishes he takes her mask of for a minute he doesn't recognise her and she says hello daddy
Charlize is the best friend of Ari and Imogen from book 1 Mr Bentley and book 2 Mr Petrov.
And honestly, i thought this book would be my least favorite of the 3. BOY was i WRONG!!! This is my favorite of them. Their chemistry is unbelievable and the back and forth, will they give in - had me on the edge all the way. I love love love it. I was worried about the step-dad angle as and ick, but it is pointed out fast that she did NOT grow up with him and only met him 5-6 times and he and her mother married for convinience and NOT love. That made it all for me.
Alistair is a hot ass billionaire with no time for bullsh!t. He often used an escortservice to have a date for the evening with no emotional strings on the line.
Charlize is now in London, working as much as she can to make ends meet. She lives with 2 other girls in the bad part of town and has to save every penny to eat and pay the bills. So when a regular customer comes into the bar and talks about her job as an escort. Charli is intrigued. The money for just one night could help her out with rent AND to see her friends.
But as luck would have it, Charli’s first job is as a present to a hot billionaire at his birthdayparty. Wearing a mask and he has no idea who she is until it is too late. Sparks are flying like the 4th of July. And their sexual chemistry is off the charts. But what happens when he realizes who she is and what to do when he don’t want any other man touches her. Charli is a fierce FMC and push all Alistair’s bottons and i am here for it😍
Tropes in this book: Taboo Romance (big age-gap) Age-gap: Charlize 30 - Alistair 44/45 Ex Stepdad (married to mother of convinience not love) (not grown up with him) Daddy Kink Protective/ possessive SugarDaddy Billionaire Romance Forbidden Romance
I can’t recommend this series enough. Another amazing book from Mackenzy Fox.
OOH DAMN!!! I absolutely loved Mr. Deveraux!! He’s the sugar daddy I need in my life!!
This story was sizzling HOT, super kinky and just insanely delicious. I instantly fell in love with the characters and thought that their relationship developed at the right pace.
Charli is my girl!!! She’s so feisty, sassy and quite the brat – and I loved that about her. She had me giggling with how frustrated she made Alistair and I think she shocked him quite a bit with her sass!! He just wanted to put her over his knee and spank the sass out of her every time she opened her mouth. And I could not get enough of that!!!
Charli and Alistair have quite the past, and 17 years later there is still some kind of pull between them, even if it is more of a sexual pull then anything else. There were a lot of ups and downs that both of them had to work through before they could move further into their relationship, but WOW were the fireworks ever exploding whenever they were in the same room together.
The sexual chemistry between Charli and Alistair just oozed off the pages and had my body aching and my panties melting! They were absolute FIRE together.
I loved this story so much. This whole series is phenomenal and just chef’s kiss!!
📰 Review: A spicy journey to happiness that involves forgiveness and honesty
❤️ Rating: 5/5 🔥 Spice: 5/5 🚩 Check TWs
MR. DEVEREAUX by Mackenzie Fox is the third and (for now) final book in her interconnected but standalone series about three friends who each find love with an older guy in a 'taboo' relationship.
Charlize or Charli and Alistair or Mr. Devereaux are now my favourite couple in the series. When they meet for the first time as adults, their chemistry is immediate and pulls you right in.
The taboo aspect comes from Alistair having been Charli's 'distant' stepdad for a few years in her pre-teen days; she lived at boarding school during much of his marriage to her mother.
Things happen (no spoilers here) and they don't meet again until Charli is in her 30s (Alistair is 15 years older) and on the first day of her new job as an escort.
Mr. Devereaux *loves* it when his Princess spends his money on herself (send me a guy like this too, Mackenzy 😄) but pretty soon, finds himself wanting more with Charli.
For her part, Charli has fun on a few shopping sprees but wants something more meaningful and long-term.
How these two work through their challenges was a bit unexpected but, in some ways, very refreshing and mature.
Charlize is struggling in London, she left her life in settle to travel and live abroad for a while. While living with two other women,in not the safest neighbourhood, the opportunity to make some extra money comes her way. She takes a job with an escort company. On her first night she is excited and nervous, when her first client arrives and turns out to be her ex stepfather, Alistair Devereaux, who she hasn’t seen in almost 15 years, she’s shocked but also excited at the idea of being with him. Alistair Devereaux is a simple man, he works, loves his family and likes to keep sex uncomplicated, that’s why he uses an escort service. When the woman he’s been dying to get his hands on turns out to be his ex stepdaughter he shuts down the situation right away. The guilt over the past with how he left Charlize alone weighs heavily on him, he wants to make it right by taking care of her now, but when she suggests he be her sugar daddy it wasn’t exactly what he was thinking, but he doesn’t think he can deny her.
Loved this series and this was a nice way to cap it off. Loved the MCs together, this wasn’t as “forbidden” as I thought it would be. Good read
Taboo Series Book 3 - Charlize Prescott is spending a year in London and is finding it to be financially difficult. A friend suggests she sign up to be an escort at an exclusive agency. Alistair Devereaux is celebrating his 45th birthday, and his friends have arranged a special night for him with a stunning escort. The theme of the party is Masquerade, so everyone is wearing a mask. Alistair notices the tall woman in green and is even more excited to find her waiting in his room. When the masks come off, they recognize each other… Alistair is her deceased mother’s ex-husband. She was a young teenager the last time she saw him, and she had been shipped off to boarding school. They’re drawn to each other, but he also doesn’t want her to continue with this job; he can’t bear her to be with any other man. She suggests a solution, and a contract is written. What they didn’t expect was to start to have feelings for each other. I flew through this series, really enjoyed them all.
"Mr. Devereaux" is book 3 in Mackenzie Fox’s Taboo Series and is an ex-stepdad age-gap romance. Charlize practically grew up in a boarding school, where she had a mother and stepfather who were mainly disengaged from her. When her stepdad tells her that her mother has unexpectedly passed, she is raised with her extremely strict and somewhat abusive grandmother.
Now that Charlize is 30 and independent, she still lacks funds bartending at a specialty club. She is privy to information that leads her to a decision to make more money by becoming a highly paid escort. She doesn’t anticipate her first client will be her ex-stepdad, Allistair.
When they agree that he will be her only client, things, of course, get heated.
What I enjoyed most about “Mr. Devereaux,” smexy scenes aside—and there were many—is Charlize’s confidence. Despite her upbringing and how she started as a meek person, she, as an adult, was confident about herself and her body and initiated what her needs were.
Mr. Devereaux is the third book in the Taboo series and it’s an ex-step dad spicy romance. Which let me be clear, is super hot. We have Charlize whose mom was married to Alistair but since she was away at boarding school they only met a handful of times. After her mother passed Charlize went back to Australia to live with her grandmother. When Charlize finds herself with an opportunity to make crazy money as an escort in London she decides to give it a try. And who do you think was her client? You guessed it Mr. Devereaux!! I was screaming because they didn’t know who the other was (masks + it’s been 15 years) until after starting the hooking up. He’s a Dom, she’s a brat and together it’s explosive. There is so much more to this story besides spice, I was rooting for the both of the entire time. If you haven’t read Mr. Bentley or Mr. Petrov in the taboo series you have to check them out. This taboo series is my absolute favorite, they are spicy but with a great story.
