Immoral Starts #2
Devious Whims
Ten years ago, I lost the boy of my teenage obsession.
My step brother was sent to prison and our late night talks turned into limited phone calls with inmates eavesdropping on every word.
Now he’s out and I’ve brought him into my home–what is family for?
He’s sleeping down the hall from me just like old times, except now I have a husband, but that doesn’t seem to deter Devon. The fire between us hasn’t lessened at all. It continues burning under our skin and I don’t know how long I can resist it before I let my entire life go up in flames.

I just can’t get past the cheating and it’s my fault because it’s in the description. I just thought the husband would be an ass but he’s actually pretty chill.

It's a love triangle turned to a sharing relationship?? MFM.
Cami has been having phone sex with her stepbrother Devon, who is in prison. He's about to get out of the clink and Cami has planned for him to come live with her. She just has to tell her husband first. Mike has been the perfect husband for her, provides for her, adores her, but he doesn't like sex and he's also sterile and can't give her kids. Devon is insanely jealous at first, but he realizes that spending ten years in prison has left him with a few issues, like cuddling.
The trio decide that Devon and Cami will keep f*cking like animals while Mike watches. Then Cami gets knocked up and everyone gets a complicated HEA.
There isn't really a clear backstory. I feel like I missed a whole other book. The sex with Devon was super hot. Fictional felons are always so damn sexy with huge cocks. Gotta love 'em.
As for as a story though, I was really confused on that part.
I feel like this is a 3 but I'm giving it a 4. I'm not sure why.

oh wow
What can I say about this one? Should I just spoil the whole plot? Since it's hard for me to talk about it, without telling what about it that didn't make it work for me.
All in all, it's a me problem. I'm just had a specific way how I would like this book to go and when it didn't go there, I'm just bummed out. Again, like I said, me problem. You guys would probably enjoy this more than I did. Just not my thing or kink.

This was a jacked up story.. I liked Devon and then I kinda didn't.. He seemed like the type of guy you wanted to care for and nurture. Until he wasn't that guy. Which was a disappointment for me. I wanted him to be deserving of all the things he wanted until it seemed like he didn't even want or care about them any longer himself. It was a strange roller coaster of reveals with him that has left me not really knowing him or even caring that I don't.. On one hand I wanted him to have it all with Cami. On the other, she didn't deserve his devotion and I couldn't understand why he was still hung up on her. Especially when he sees how things are now with her, once they're reunited.. At first I thought Devon was to blame how things wound up, but the more I think on it, I think where Devon ultimately lands with Cami, is due to the betrayal he felt by her.
Cami was just a straight up self indulgent whore. I mean really? Why did you get married to Mike when you KNEW you were waiting on Devon? And WTF you mean you didn't want those millions?! B^tch are you dumb or just stupid?
And Mike? What a nutless excuse for a male.. I felt sorry for him. He was sweet, but a pushover and it seemed like he had no real respect for himself as Cami's husband.. I honestly thought he was gonna turn out to be gay, for real.. Cause he was on some crazy, weird sexual mess.
Their entire dynamic was just weird to me. I felt like this story and these characters were not really taken there. It felt like a cop out to me. If you're gonna go there, then go there.
What could have been a beautiful and harmonious story between Devon and Cami, it just unfolded into a sh^t show of epic proportions. I felt like everyone was robbed of their own HEA here. Especially Devon. The one who deserved the HEA the most here was Devon. He was robbed BIG TIME.
This whole situation was just a checks and balances deal of a HFN. I don't see this dynamic lasting for long at all for all parties involved. All I saw here was everyone settling for scraps and compromising instead of getting what their hearts really wanted.
Would I recommend?=O.o It's your book funeral

It’s always 50-50 when it comes to this author and while I do enjoy some of the author works, unfortunately this one didn’t make the cut.
Right so from reading the blurb I can already guess what’s going to happen but that’s not the reason why I’m writing this rant in the first place, it’s because I got irritated at the h, Cami while reading her povs in the first two chapters. The way she got annoyed at her husband Mike when he was talking to the other H, the stepbrother who just got out of jail, Devon. She got irritated at Mike because she was afraid of him saying something that would offend Devon. Really now? Mike didn’t even say anything bad??? Why are you getting annoyed at him????
Also it’s hinted that she’s been doing the phone s€x with Devon for a while so she’s been emotionally cheating on her husband for years and that’s just sad because Mike’s a chill person and the most mature one for sure. He even defended Cami from Devon when he was being condescending to her.
Funny thing is that, while Cami is being a doormat for Devon, he actually thought of banging another woman because he’s mad at Cami for getting married and basically giving all her firsts to Mike. But it didn’t happen solely because the said woman ran before things could escalate. Even she got the ick from Devon lmao.
I thought this was gonna be like the usual 3some relationship but I feel like the husband will always be second best and I find it to be unfair tbh because this was supposed to be a MFM story. Devon wasn’t even all that. He’s been belittling to Cami plenty of times whenever she mentioned Mike, it’s borderline emotionally abusive.
But of course everything works out at the end because Mike cannot perform, is a cuckold and has a voyeur tendency and they live happily ever after. This book would’ve been way better if this happened sooner instead of Cami and Devon being unfair to Mike and being sneaky that took half of the story. And then there’s the unnecessary “it’s always been you” coming from Cami that makes Devon gloating over it to Mike. Second best, I’m telling ya…
There’s also a MMF tag but there’s no sword crossing at all??!?!?!?!!! Whyyyyyy the tag then ☹️☹️☹️
And oh I know this is a novella but because it lacked the background story between Devon and Cami, I just couldn’t really understand the obsession Devon had for her. And imo, Cami didn’t deserve Mike at all. The cover also only has two persons in it; they’re obviously Devon and Cami #justiceforMike
No need for me to comment on the smut because B. Sobjakken knows how to write em 😌

Warning: this is a cheating story (the FMC is married, and her stepbrother moves in after getting out of prison), but it does have a happy ending for all three characters?
Even though it was very hot, I liked it less than the other B. Sobjakken books I’ve read, probably because the (non-sex) plot was a little too complicated for the story.
(Also, this author is upfront about sex being the plot, but somehow I keep getting sucked into the non-sex plot of her stories. 🤣)

I started this book hoping I would really like it but it went on a different direction than I thought it would and that direction made me really freaking uncomfortable and icky.
Ps: I enjoyed most of this author books so even though I didn’t like this one, I think it’s worth looking at her other works!

whoa this one was a bit outrageous with the HS sweetheart turned tatted jail bird. juxtaposed with Ned Flanders hubby
Jail bird was traumatized by jail and a childhood devoid of physical affection
Not sure why Ned is so kinky
she is passive, mostly. Did not realize it
was gonna be an MMF story till it happened. But I liked how both guys were a little jealous and possessive
Icing on cake was HEA shared names, baby makes 4 🤓🫣

Another banger. Obsessed.

I don't feel like I can review this properly without giving a few spoilers, so just giving you a heads-up here.
There are three characters in this story, but the main ones are Cami and Devon, her step-brother. To be honest, the only one I felt anything for was Devon. He went to prison 10 years earlier for Cami (not that she was appreciative). Cami was supposedly "in love" with Devon at the time it happened, but she did NOT wait for him to get out of prison-no, she gave her virginity to and married Mike (for reasons that are unfathomable to me). Reading about Cami and Mike's sex life gave me true WTF moments-just sayin'🤷♀️ Cami and Mike had supposedly been trying to have a baby, but it was never going to happen THAT way......👀
Cami was a selfish person, IMO. Mike was a beta male, at best. Devon got the shaft.
What had the potential of being a nice menage tale just never made it there, unfortunately. (sigh)

Spicy novella featuring Cami (and husband Mike) and her stepbrother Devon, who is released from prison after 10 years. Super smutty from the very get go and so delicious, I loved every minute!
🖤 stepbrother romance
🔥 forced proximity
🖤 dubcon
🔥 cuckold
🖤 breeding and pregnancy
🔥 cheating (not between MCs)
Fave quote:
"You see how wet she is. She's fücking desperate for my c0ck, desperate to be stretched by it, desperate to be filled with my cum and bred like the good little wife she is."

I didn’t hate it, but I also didn’t love it. The premise was good and the spice was spicing. But I couldn’t get behind the MMC, I reallt tried to like him a little but I couldn’t. He treated the FMC so poorly, and it made me so angry lol. They would have a confrontation but then never make up. Also the ending confused me. I’m happy they got the HEA but it seemed like the MMC didn’t want to be around his baby, but earlier in the book all he wanted was to get the FMC pregnant and have a family. I usually love a complicated morally gray MMC but I hated this guy. She kind of made me mad too because she would just take it.
Kind of disappointed because I was looking forward to this release, but at least the spice was good. I think I would enjoy this story more if it was longer and we really got to see both MC’s develop their relationship more and see the MMC become more loving and heal some of his trauma.
If you’re just looking for a short smutty read with good spice and you’re less interested in the characters then I would definitely recommend. But if you’re anything like me and get overly attached to characters very easily... maybe this isn’t for you. Either way happy reading!

Short and spicy and if it suits your link then great. I liked the family story, the love and didn't even mind the convict, step-brother angle. But cuckold husband that likes to watch and be degraded was what have me the ick... Nope, not for me!

*2.5
I’ve read a couple of B. Sobjakken’s novellas at this point. They’re always great when I want quick, dirty, mindless reads. This one is definitely probably my least favorite one that I’ve read. I know Brookelynne’s whole schtick is the taboo, but this one ended up leaving me feeling a little icky.
While I didn’t love this one, I still would recommend the other novellas in this series because I have really enjoyed those.

Surprisingly sweet ending for a smut-is-the-plot novella.
July 23, 2024
I have been SO EXCITED for this one after reading Deceitful Dreams and seeing the tropes for this book... like, say less. I even thought this was going to be my favorite of all. Cami and Devon's relationship, how they navigate and grow from their previous trauma and years apart, and Mike being a bean and cheese burrito with mustard personified... things were going great!
I don't know what my major malfunction is that I can't stand the 'why choose' trope (especially since I love the cheating trope), but that's essentially what this one ends up with. I knowww the tropes say cuckold, but I just took it to mean Cami was cheating on her husband. 🫠
I came close to DNF'ing when I saw that's where it was going, but I'd made it that far and was still holding out hope that Mike would just, like... go somewhere else and forget to come back.
The spice was so good - and if you like why choose then I recommend this one!

Brooke always writes the perfect blend of taboo and spice. This one surprised me! I wasn’t expecting it to go the route it went and the emotion was an unexpected addition. I really enjoyed this one and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

terrible. gave me the ick
i wasted 2 hours of my life reading this. just so that y'all are aware because the trigger warnings didn't say it, the stepbrother is forced into an unequal poly relationship with his stepsisters husband because she wants to have her cake and eat it too. i feel so bad for Devon, it would've been better for him to just leave and find someone who actually loves him. fictional cheating is one thing but this story is absolutely terrible bc of the selfishness/lack of self awareness of the female lead cami. i would've preferred for it to be just smut and not that horrible excuse of a plotline.
“It’s always been you” she says while she fucked
another guy, married him, built a white picket home with him, and wouldn't leave him yet she still says she loves devon. like omfg stop lying. at least be honest with yourself. the only person cami loves is her own self.
“I’m not your enemy. I love Cami, and I’m willing to do anything for her. And if you’re not, then maybe you don’t love her as much as you say you do.” My breath stalls, hurt at his accusation. But a strange relief washes over me because I’ve been having the same selfish thoughts." - the husband defending his cheating wife and acting like since he enjoys being a cuck it means if devon doesn't accept the poly it's because he doesn't love her enough. which is so disgusting. cami says she loves devon yet stays with the husband who was supposed to be temporary even though it hurts devon. in her mind, if devon loves her he has to share her with her cuck of a husband. like wtf. the poor man stayed in that toxic relationship just to not lose her and i can already see future arguments where cami and her sorry excuse of a husband gang up on him. i can read polyamory when it's well done, not when there's clearly a toxic uneven dynamic.
honestly, I feel bad for Mike too. he just glossed over his wife emotionally cheating on him for years like nothing. he definitely has issues too.
really says something about a story where the most toxic thing is supposed to be stepsiblings yet it's not. yikes.

Slightly Disappointing
Devious Whims promised an edgy, taboo stepbrother-stepsister dynamic that I was genuinely excited to dive into—but unfortunately, it didn’t deliver the punch I was hoping for.
After reading Deceitful Dreams, I was intrigued by the author’s bold approach to unconventional relationships and morally gray characters—the kind of “I’ll kill for you” intensity that makes dark romance so addictive. So naturally, I had high hopes for this one.
While the author is upfront about Devious Whims being driven primarily by its sexual content, even that aspect felt surprisingly underwhelming. The chemistry fell flat, the tension was minimal, and the overall execution just lacked the depth or danger that made their previous work so compelling.
It’s not a terrible read, but compared to what I know this author can deliver, it was disappointingly average.
Overall, I did enjoy a few of the steamier scenes—there were moments that definitely delivered on heat. But when it came to story and character development, things felt disappointingly surface-level.
If you're specifically looking for a messy, taboo stepbrother–stepsister–husband dynamic, this book does offer that. Just don’t expect a lot of emotional complexity or layered storytelling. The premise had potential, but the execution fell flat.

If you're specifically looking for a messy, taboo stepbrother–stepsister–husband dynamic, this book does offer that. Just don’t expect a lot of emotional complexity or layered storytelling. The premise had potential, but the execution fell flat.

“Your room?” Devon nods, stepping close enough that my arm prickles with the heat of his body. He leans down and whispers in my ear, “Go ahead and show me the bed I’m going to fuck you in.”
I really wasn't expecting this book to go the way it did but I'm not complaining. It had a story but was still hot AF. You have Devon and Cami who are step siblings. Then you have Cami's husband Mike. The story totally went a different way but I'm here for it.
