This was really good taboo…. The connection and situation that brought them together was crazy but pushed the boundaries to cross.
I will say I wasn’t super comfortable with the FMCs age but just pushed the age to legal while I was reading it.
I was interested to see where it went in book 2

Definitely one of the weaker novella I’ve read from this author but it was enjoyable, idk it didn’t had the kick like the others I’ve read.

This one is just meh and the fact that it only has the daughter's POV doesn't help either. I always enjoy a book more if it has a dual POV. I hope the second book will be better.

Daughter desperately wants to make her daddy feel better after the loss of her mom/ his wife. This was sad af but the tension was A1. The story is already fucked up but with the fmc being 16... yikes; adds another level of fuckery to the taboo-ness. Ends on a cliffhanger so I can't wait to see how this ends.

I would’ve given it an extra star if it wasn’t only 22 pages long, which isn’t long at all. And I’m just not a huge fan of grieving people that have sex just not to be grieving anymore if you get my drift.
But other than that, it was OK.

Que asco de novela. La relación de Leanne y el es muy enfermiza. Ahora Leanne esta obsesionada con el, que necesita un psicólogo.

I like Alice May’s Daddy/Daughter “In the Shadows”. It is 31 pages long and continues into the next book, “Behind Closed Doors.” Leanne lost her mother. Her father appears not to be taking it well. Leanne has been feeling like she should be there for him, but the feelings that she has been having are of the tab00 nature. She picks up on a few vibes from him but initiates everything. The POV is primarily Leanne with one chapter of “Daddy.” He is forty-five and described as fit with tattoos.
I liked the story a lot.
