A Very Good Boy

Inmates of Pengrass Penitentiary

by Becca Vale

Fifteen years ago my brother landed in prison. Not the first time… for either of us. It was just a fluke that I happened to be living free when he got sent up. I probably would have been right back there with him before long if not for the fact that the state dumped his four-year-old son on me.

I hadn’t really paid any attention to the boy before the day they handed him over to me, but the moment David became mine, everything fucking changed.

Those big gray eyes and sweet, shy little smiles? There’s nothing on this earth that would be worth losing those, so I went straight, stayed on the right side of the law, and raised my nephew as my own.

But I didn’t raise him soft, with hugs and smiles and all that shit. I wouldn’t even know how since it wasn’t the way I was raised, either.

But my Davito is a good boy, and he doesn’t need to hear me say it to know it’s true. He doesn’t need me to tell him how important he is to me, because I’m here when I could have walked away, and actions speak louder than words.

But then, thanks to a few private moments caught on a security camera, I find out that maybe he does need to hear that shit after all. I discover that he actually responds very fucking well to a little praise and encouragement.

So well that giving it to him becomes kinda addicting…

⭐️ 3.5/5 — Sweet, sinful, but lost in translation 😵‍💫
🌶 3.5/5 — Praise me harder, baby... but say it in English next time 😮‍💨

“A Very Good Boy” by Becca Vale is a filthy, taboo MM uncle-nephew romance that dives deep into adoration, protection, possession, and pure fucking devotion. ❤️‍🔥

Rafael is the ex-con Uncle of my damn dreams—gruff, intimidating, cold-blooded to the world, but soft as hell for his boy. And David? He's smart, responsible, but also just a bundle of sweetness and desperate need. That boy’s so obedient, praise-starved, and aching for love he damn near melted me. 💞

The "only soft for him" trope? Chef’s kiss. And the praise kink? My heart was feelin’ it. HARD. Rafael treats David like he’s his whole damn world, and honestly, I was right there melting into a damn puddle with him. 🥹

The mutual worship between them had my heart clenching and my thighs pressed tight. Rafael gave David exactly what he needed the second he realized how touch and affection starved he was. The way he spoils David with every soft word, every “good boy,” every possessive touch... I swear, it lit me the fuck up. THAT’S the kind of dominant top energy I’m here for. 🙂‍↕️

Buuut... I’m a greedy little thing for the word “baby” in MM smut, and I didn’t get my usual fix here. The heavy use of Spanish took me out of the story more times than I wanted, and not understanding every word kinda dragged me out of the moment more than I liked. I tried translating ‘em all, but it just broke the tension sometimes, y’know? And that matters when I’m tryin’ to feel allll the emotions and lust. They just kinda messed with the immersion, and that made it harder for me to fully connect with them like I normally do with Becca’s books. 😔

Still, it was delicious seeing Reaper, Ryder, and Grim pop up again—Becca’s universe stays superior. But for me, A Very Good Boy just didn’t hit as hard as the others. I’ll always love a scary dominant top being soft only for his sweet, good boy, but I need those English endearments to get off fully. 😬

Quotes:

The thought of who David would have turned out to be if my brother had been around to raise him makes me want to hurt something until it bleeds, and I don’t even give a shit if that means I am actually soft now.
-
I’ve got no excuse for how fucking hard I am right now, but I’m listening to the boy I love most in this world pleasure himself, make himself so good that he’s slipping between our two languages, and that pleasure is all because of me.
Of fucking course I’m hard.
-
“You always make me happy,” my tío murmurs, then just about makes me come in my pajama bottoms when he adds, “You’re such a good boy. My good boy. Mi muy buen niño. You feed me so well every day, Davito. Gracias. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
-
His breath hitches, his dick hard again. I grind my thigh against it, and he moans so fucking prettily it makes me wonder if I’m gay now, too.

But when Davito squirms against my aching cock? I think I’m now Davidsexual.
Nephewsexual.
SmallblushingboywhoIraisedsexual.
Boywhoisminesexual.
-
"Open for me, cariño," I murmur. "Let me give you what you need."

"Yes, such a good boy. Just like that. You're doing so good for me. You're such a quick learner, my Davito. Now suck it. Suck your tío's cock. Tighten up your lips and pull me deep, sobrinito."
-
“You like being mine, bichito,” he murmurs, keeping a tight hold on my neck while he rubs my dick through my pants with his other hand. “This tells me so. It excites you to know you belong to your uncle, to know that I’ll never share you, never let another man touch you.”
-
“You don’t need to do anything, sobrinito. You make me happy simply because you exist. Because you’re mine. Because you’re you.”
-
“Keep fucking your tío’s cock, Davito. Don’t you fucking stop. Your ass is perfect, mi amor. Milk me with it. Let me fill your hole for you. I want you wet with my cum and dripping on me while you bounce.”

"In my experience, a man needs to come, and come often."

You'll never meet a poet like Tío Rafael.

I preferred the prison setting in the first book—specifically the ahem, exhibitionist scene—but this was still enjoyable. A solid palette cleanser.

The extensive front matter—disclaimers, setting notes, and content warnings—took up 11% of the book. While I appreciate transparency, it felt more like a blog post than part of the narrative. It also undersells the story by preemptively apologizing for unrealistic elements or typos, especially the Spanish.

Looking for taboo gay smut? Find this yummy m/m uncle-nephew + praise kink novella on itch.io and Smashwords!

FUN FACT: If you liked Big Brother's Prison Bitch, you'll find cameos in this one from Reaper, Ryder, and Grim! Both books are complete standalones, but are connected by, Pengrass Penitentiary, the fictional prison I created 🔥🔥🔥

Oh yeah. This was so cute. And will definitely be one I reread in the future.

⭐️.5

Pretty standard for this author. Not as good as the others in the series though. The casual way prison rape was mentioned was a little off putting.

“Davidsexual. Nephewsexual. SmallblushingboywhoIraisedsexual. Boywhoisminesexual.” - Rafael

Memorable Side Characters:
Grim: Knew Raf from prison, the literal definition of loyal, I neeeed his HEA.
Reaper & Ryder: from Big Brother’s Prison Bitch, love the two and you should read their book if you haven’t.

“Wait, your nephew is the one you want to stick your cock in?” Grim says, cackling, “Keeping it all in the family eh, Toro?”

Antagonist/Conflict:
Santiago/Santi/David’s Dad: Fuck him.

“David doesn’t belong to Santi. Davito is mine.” Rafael to Grim & Reaper

The scene in the kitchen when David was cooking breakfast! Phew! All clothes on and it can still leave you hot and bothered. Love! Sweet and action packed. Becca killed it with this one. At ~240 pages it is also one of her longer taboo releases. Raf was given custody of David when David’s dad was sent to prison. At four, David did not know Raf well. Raf admitted to not really paying any mind to David until this point. Given Raf and Santi’s upbringing, I am not surprised. Once Raf had custody, David became the most important thing in his world (even if he didn’t have a good way of showing it, David still knew). Both of the MC’s were enthralled with each other before consenting to a sexual relationship. After finding out about each other's feelings it was like a landslide of both characters pursuing the other. Intense from the beginning with no regrets. And absolutely FILTHY.

“You’re going to spend every night from now on getting stuffed full. Filled with my fingers. Filled with my tongue. Filled with my cum. And when you’re ready, your holes will get filled with my cock. Your uncle’s thick, fat cock is going to make you feel so good, bichito. Just a little longer. A few minutes more and I’ll be deep inside you, showing you what it’s like to have a man you belong to finally claim your virginity. Claim what you saved for me.” - Rafael

David was desperate for Raf’s touch and praise and Raf couldn’t get enough of David and was very possessive and protective. There was no internal conflict with being in an incestuous relationship, all that mattered was how the two felt for each other. Hearing about David’s dad, we can all agree Santi would not have been a good dad figure for David growing up and would have crushed him and who he was inside. Raf was definitely the better option! Everything goes well between the MC’s until Santi is released and comes after the two. I was loving the scene until he showed up, talk about a boner killer. But the ending?? And what Grim did???

I whisper, my heart cracking in two. “I don’t want him to leave me.” David to Grim

Becca is potentially making him his own book and I am so here for it! I NEED to see him get his HEA. I also LOVED the appearance of Reaper and Ryder from Big Brother’s Prison Bitch (also a great read, go get it NOW). I look forward to Friday’s and getting to read our newest delivery from our “sister in smut” Becca. And she takes suggestions! I LOVEEEEE all of her taboo books, if you haven’t read her stuff, do yourself a favor and check it out.

“Such a good boy for me, cariño. I fucking love you, you know that, yes?” His eyelashes flutter as he blinks open his pretty gray eyes. Then he smiles at me, and my entire fucking world lights up. - Rafael

[Kim B · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another winner by Becca! I just love her books so much! Weekly (every Friday without fail) quick books for a fun weekend read! This one is about a man who is a criminal who has spent a lot of time in prison. At a time when he is actually out, his brother is sent away to prison, so he becomes the guardian for his brother's 4 year old son. He raises the boy as his own and creates a legitimate security business and a home for the boy. If you love your heroes as super masculine, alpha, bad boy type you are going to love this one! Oh and the nephew? Sweet and submissive - only wants to be around his uncle at all times and make him happy!
