Zade

Den of Sin #1

by Chelle Rose

Zade:

My ex-wife is dead by her own doing and has left her daughter behind with nowhere to go. I’ll do the right thing and take her in, take care of all her needs. It takes me about five minutes to realize she’s a complete brat. I know how I normally deal with little girls with bad attitudes but she’s off limits. But when I find her standing on a stage at a BDSM club selling off her purity, I snap. If she wants to sell it so bad, I’ll buy it.
If I buy it, I’m taking it.

Amira:

The last time I saw Zade, I was twelve years old. Was he this hot then? I don’t remember him this way. Dark, sexy, broody, so delicious. He keeps acting like my dad but he’s not. Besides, I’m nearly eighteen.
I don’t need a dad, I need a daddy.

About the author

I hate talking about myself. I'm awkward AF and write super spicy books with twisty plots. Most of my books are dark romance so always check the content warnings!

Do not read this book if you don’t want to be up past your bed time. Silly me decided to check it out about midnight. Next thing I know it’s 4am. This book had no respect for my bed time.

The characters developed nicely. I would have loved additional world building. It was well written and kept my attention.

I would say this one is worth devouring.
I would read it again. I’ll be impatiently waiting for the next book.

Meh. This had SUCH promise and it really hit the notes I don’t like. Characters aren’t described physically, Insta love but not believable, the sizzle was really not in line with this kind of taboo story. I don’t understand because the premise is STRONG. The backstory is STRONG. This should be a trilogy. Maybe the author will rewrite it some day.

[Bridgot Everly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Steamy is the not even close to describe Zade. I am so in love with everything Chelle writes. And this does not disappoint when Amira is left alone Zade swooped in to take her back in his life after leaving years before. Now with nowhere to go either foster care or her step father that abandoned her years before. And after a little while when Amira found out her own secret. Want to find out Amira’s deeepest darkest secret that will make you haawwwwwtttttt?????

[Amber · Rating 5 out of 5]

Zade by Chelle Rose is a deliciously dark Daddy Dom taboo read that was near impossible to put down!

Zade is just pure delicious perfection 🥵 And his protective nature for Amira is just exhilarating.

Be sure to read the trigger warnings before diving in. This book is not for the faint-hearted.

*BOOK REVIEW*
BOOK: Zade
AUTHOR: Chelle Rose
PLOT: Amira is a young woman with a lot of trauma. She has had to spend five years taking care of a mother who's mentally ill and dependent on controlled substances to help "take her pain away." All Amira wanted was for her mother to love her enough to realize that Amira was more than enough to brighten her life. Her mother was trash because she kept handing Amira off to random male friends of hers to pay for the drugs, and threatened Amira that the "wrath of God" would befall her if she refused and fought back (not the exact words used, but the same aspect). Before she turned twelve, she had her stepfather, Zade, there to help her, to take care of her, and to keep her safe. One day, Zade disappeared from Amira's life and she hated him for it since. When Amira's mother dies at her own hand, Zade returns to take in Amira. He wants to protect her, to take care of her, to provide for her, but he also wants to do things to her that he knows he shouldn't. Amira is determined to leave when she turns eighteen because she can't stand living with Zade and she does what she can to make her time with him miserable for him. Her plan: sell her v!rg!n!ty at the Den of Sin. Little does she know, Zade frequents the den. When he sees her in the den, he loses it. He doesn't want another man's hands on her unless they're his own. He's willing to take what he wants and give her what she needs! This book is spicy as hell and it's one of my favorite taboo tropes! Please heed the trigger warnings. This is a dark novel and some of the topics may be triggering! If you can handle the trigger warnings, be ready to take a wild and spicy trip! Chelle has done it again, and made me fall for yet another man that has been added to my book husband harem!

You need to prepare yourself with some deep breathing before you delve into this delicious Daddy Dom/Age-Gap/Step-Father taboo story. You are going to devour every page and you won't be able to put it down once you start it!! Daddy Zade is irresistibly sexy, demanding, loving, and protective of his Amira. Amira on the other hand is a brat to put it bluntly. She did have a hard life growing up and her mother is definitely not winning any awards for being a mother. Amira has pretty much raised herself after Zade left them. She never understood why but now he is back and wanting to take care of her and she is torn up over all her emotions!

Zade is a Dom and he wants to keep Amira far away from his lifestyle because he wants to protect her but when she enters his world she is now up for claiming and that is exactly what he intends to do!!

The spice is going to knock you out because it is everywhere and so delicious! I loved these characters so much and I'm excited about this new series from Chelle!! I have loved all her other series and I know this one is going to be just as addicting! I can't wait!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⚠️ Please check trigger warnings this is an intense book!!

[Tampatha · Rating 4 out of 5]

First off, make sure you read the trigger warnings in this book, they are there for your mental health.

Taboo books and Daddy Dom's are not my normal genre to read, but I wanted to branch out and I enjoy Chelle's writing so I was excited to read this one.

Daddy Zade and Amira are step-father and step-daughter with an age gap and a definite
attraction. Chelle weaves us a story of forbidden passions, taboo desires and a burn so fast it will set you on fire!

Zade and Amira are hot together! There is a lot of restraint on the part of Zade ( a bit too much in my opinion though) as he fights his attraction to Amira, all the while she does everything she can to be bratty and get exactly what she wants- Zade.

I'm always a fan of Chelle's writing and her characters, and even though I'm not a fan of the genre as a whole, I did enjoy this book a lot.

If Daddy Doms/Age-Gap/Step Father is your jam, you are going to absolutely love this one!

[Shawnna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Chelle Rose, girl, you did it again. This book is on fire. The scenes between Zade and Amira were erotic and steamy. I have to wonder about the research you did into the BDSM, Dom/Sub roles, and the Daddy's world.

I was pulled into it. I will say that the beginning is a little hard to get through. All I wish to say is that please read the trigger warnings. What Amira goes through in her youth in a nightmare. She is a true fighter and survivor. So again, please read the trigger warnings.

I knew things were about to get spicy when Zade tells Amira to sit on his face. I could hear his deep growl voice telling her this. There were times I needed to take a break or two from the story from all the steamy scenes between these two.

I would definitely say that this is a great book to kill time for an hour or two. I can't wait to see what book two in the Den of Sin series will be.

spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

🚨Forewarning!
This book is about the forbidden love between stepfather and stepdaughter. Please heed the trigger warnings!
Who needs a really hot daddy? I recommend Zade. He is Amira's stepfather and takes care of her. When her mother dies, he shows up after five years away and takes her in. He wants to do everything he can to make her well again. But Amira's needs have changed and so has the way he wants to take care of her...
Chelle Rose managed to captivate me again. I can almost physically feel the attraction between Zade and Amira. The book focuses on the couple and the secondary characters are only in the background. As a result, the development of their relationship is an intense experience. Just like Chelle Rose's The Men of Mayhem series, the Den of Sin book series is a must read for me!

[Mia Fury · Rating 5 out of 5]

I knew I'd love Zade, because Chelle Rose writes the most delicious men, and I'm not surprised to say she knocked it out of the park again.

Zade was Amira's stepfather for her formative years, but after a number of years away, he's back with a vengeance. Amira has had a rough life so far, especially after Zade departed, but nothing was as it seemed, and he's definitely not going away again now.

I will say this... I expected him to be treading all over her boundaries as happens in this dynamic in some books, but instead, he's the most delicious protector. Fighting his feelings, and trying to do the right thing... I think I swooned multiple times, and I know I'll be reading it again, because it was one of those 'once will never be enough' kinda reads. Definitely one I'd recommend!!

[Devons book corner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Chelle has done it again. Zade is book one in the brand-new series Den of Sins, and I can already tell you that this series is one you won't want to miss. I could not put this book down once I started reading it. Zade was forced into a divorce by his ex-wife, Amira's mom. He never wanted to leave Amira, but because of this, he was forced to take care of her from a distance after fighting like hell for visitation rights, but getting nowhere since he was just a stepdad. Fast forward years later, and Amira's mom dies and Zade is there to take care of her and bring her home with him. Zade wants her so bad, but she's his stepdaughter and that would be wrong on so many levels, right? Amira wants Zade as well and will stop at nothing to get him to sleep with her. Zade puts up a good fight trying to stay away from Amira, but she fights back just as hard to get her way. Now, que Dom Daddy Zade and holy mother of God. I was in love, and needed a cold shower after I was done reading this book. The spice is *chefs kiss*, I loved the characters and the witty banter they shared, and I loved how much Zade and Amira actually loved and cared for each other. I can't wait to read more books in this series.

[Soleil · Rating 1 out of 5]

DNF... This is the first book I tried to read by this author. I never heard of this author until yesterday. I was looking forward to reading this book and series. I said to myself if Zade ends up having sex with another woman, I will not to continue to read this book. So Zade let another woman give him oral sex while Amira watches. This scene was such a turn off for me.😡 To me if the two main characters are suppose to be together in the book or the book is about them. I don't want to read about either the male or female character doing anything sexual with anyone else.😡 I want them to only have sex and oral sex only with each other. That is how I feel and don't care who disagrees! I also find it to be cheating on the female character. That is my feelings and opinions and don't who disagrees with me!

[Carmela Dimattia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was insanely hooked on this book from the very first page and I desperately wanted to get through this story to see where Chelle Rose would lead us with Zade and Amira. Although this is purely a taboo subject, Zade and Amira are perfect together, although Zade tried to stay away from Amira, as she is his ex stepdaughter, Amira really wore him down and got to be with the man she loved. You will get swept away with this story and characters and will definitely be left wanting much more. This book was extremely well written and very steamy. Be prepared because Zade will have you hooked and you will not be able to put this book down and will be up until the early hours of the morning to finish.

[Laci · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just wrapped up Zade by Chelle Rose, and honestly… this book had me stressing, swooning, and side eyeing these two the whole time. 😂 Zade is that broody, closed off man with way too many shadows, and Amira is stubborn, sharp, and refuses to back down from anything. Their dynamic? A whole tornado.

Tropes you’ll find:
• age gap
• forbidden/taboo
• morally gray MMC
• forced proximity
• guardian/ward vibes
• trauma healing-ish ✨ the messy version
• protective, brooding man who doesn’t know what to do with his feelings

It’s dark, emotional, and super addictive. If you like flawed characters who keep stumbling into each other’s orbit no matter how hard they try not to…this one’s gonna grab you. 🖤

[Jamie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very very steamy! Zade is an older extreme gentleman. Hes taken care of her in the past and wants to still be her protector but even more than that.. He wants to be her "daddy.

This book was a very taboo read having it be his ex wife's daughter that he had helped raised. Its very spicy, V!rgin FMC, under age at the beginning of the book. When she threatens to sell her V card at the same K!nk club that Zade's bet friends owns it all hits the fan!

My only compliant about this book was how often Zade the MMC, kept reminding the author how much of his life he spent taking care of her as a minor.

As always checks triggers!!

[Dalia · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book follows Zade and Amira and let me tell you the scenes between them are super steamy. This involves some BDSM in the roles of a dominant and submissive. I even had to google some stuff. From the first chapter this has your attention and is very hard to put down. I finished this in one day. As a reminder read the TW as Amira goes through somethings that may be sensitive. This book is easy to follow and very well described. As you read is as if the story is coming to life and you are seeing it as you would a movie. Don’t wait any longer endeavor into a forbidden passion with high chemistry.

Chelle

I am 10000% grateful to be one of your beta readers. Every book I have read of yours takes me to my happy place !!!!

daddy Zade, a man of many thoughts and less words, but the freaking pure love and care he has for that girl. Daddy and baby girl, good girl, all the favorite things to hear in a book 😍

Oh didn’t love the fight she gave him. Amira wouldn’t take no for an answer and I LOVE that in a FMC. She had her issues but was NOT weak.

PRAISE🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

OH AND THE ENDING WAS PERFECT

[Nasi · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story was fast paced, very spice and enjoyable read. Once i started with reading i was half through it and really liked the story, it was very captivating.

Zade and Amira's story is taboo/forbidden but it felt nothing wrong while reading, the development of their relationship is a great experience. It felt like they were just meant to be together. The bond to each other grows more and more, only their loves matters and nothing else. They get the happy ending what they deserved. 🤌

And looking forward to read the next couple of "Den of Sin" Series.

[Crysta · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my first 'daddy' kink book. It's never been something that's piqued my interest but I love Chelle Rose's books and I wanted to give this a chance. Watching Zade and Ameria's relationship drastically change from step-daughter to romantic was great to watch. When it comes to dark romance books it's not very common for there to be relationships that are more on the healthier side. Although their possessiveness can be viewed as excessive I feel like the amount of emphasis there is on communication can make up for it. I can't wait to see what the Den of Sin has in store!

[Candice Hume · Rating 4 out of 5]

I finished this in the same night. It's ex step dad and step daughter. 3 weeks before she turns 17 her mom OD's and she needs to live with her ex step dad Zade who she hasn't seen since she was 12. He does everything to deny his attraction but what would you do if the woman you fall for puts herself up for auction when she turns 18 at his local BDSM club. Read Zade and see his whole reaction.

For mature readers. Check TW because there is a few. Loved the whole story.

[P.Lee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh My Freaking DADDY!!!!

Chelle Rose is a new author to me. Where the hell have I been?
Please read TW.
Zade and Amira bought the taboo to a top-notch. Oh my, I don't even know where to start.
Amira, our FMC, comes from a traumatic background. Zade is our FMC ex step-dad. Tragedy brings these two characters back together. The heat and spicy 🔥.
I really enjoy it. If you're looking for a good taboo, Age-gap, virgin FMC, and BDSM, this book is for you.

[Auj · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is going to be a short review:

Amira's mother, who has been depressed for years, finally offs herself. Zade, Amira's former stepdad, returns. Amira is surprised to discover a strong attraction towards Zade...

Amira turns 18, Zade is 42. Conflict: He's her former stepdad and feels that they can't be together.

I would have liked to have known what Amira got a bachelor's in and if she worked a job.

I wonder how I found this to add to my tbr. Maybe from Unalive Promotions?

Zade is the first book of The Den of Sin Series by Chelle Rose. I am a fan of Chelle Rose’s books and this one caught me fast. Zade (MMC) and Amira (FMC) have had a past relationship all of Amira’s life. Zade married her mother and even after they divorce Zade made sure Amira had the necessary things in life. Amira’s mother had a drug habit and was not a very good mother. Let me be clear there are some hard things to read about Amira’s mom and how she took care of her daughter. However, in the background was always Zade. Zade’s friend calls him to tell him that Amira is in the Den of Sin (a sex club) trying to sell of virginity. Zade steps in and to make sure Amira gets the mental health help that she needs and shelter that is safe. However, there is a physical attraction that both Amira and Zade feel for each other. Zade fights his feelings hard and Amira makes it hard for him to resist. This book has moments that can catch your breath. I enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to the second book of this series.

[Bekah Adams · Rating 4 out of 5]

Amira had a rough life. Her Mom was depressed and suicidal. Amira’s stepdad had been there, until one day he left without a word. Years and lots of trauma later her Mom overdosed. In walks Zade, her long lost stepdad. He takes her in and fills her in on the real reasons on why he left. After lots of resisting they give into each other and start a relationship. Will it last?

Amira is a girl who's had a rough life and when her mom dies she moves in with her former step dad who just happens to be smoking hot. She turns 18 and sparks fly and spice ensues. This book contains dark themes so definitely check for content warnings if that is something that you need. I loved this book as I live all Chelle's writing.

[Paige Edmonson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a quick and spicy read. While this is a taboo book with stepfather/daughter relationship it is made clear that he has not been in her life since she was 12 and there was never any thoughts till she was legal. The story line is well written and the characters are fun. I wish there was a tiny bit more plot but overall it was a fantastic read.

[Krissy ⚔ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh, this was so good! Love a good step parent romance story! This one has a strong FMC named Amira whose also a v. The poor thing has had a shit life and here comes Zade to the rescue! Loads of bdsm, dark forbideness and TW's so make sure to read those! Really liked the story and the dynamic between the these two was fun to read. It's a fast paced, very spicy book! Recco if you enjoy dark, age gap, step parent books!
