This book made me want to sing
“I’m ya freaky dancer,dancing for money, do what you want me to doooo”!!!
This was sexy and taboo but super safe for those who like a morally grey man but not a nasty man!!

However, as a lover of the Nasty Men Coalition I was absolutely obsessed with the original. Now since Neve always delivers this was definitely an easy five star rating and I love that I got to see into our MMC’s brain once more.

Issac knows that Denise needs a place to live so he plays on that fact pretty hard by forcing her into some pretty sticky situations. One of those being on her knees and not in the Christian way “wink wink.”
Issac uses her lack of funds and poor boyfriend choices to blackmail the heck out of her through out the entirety of the story. What I dislike is he likes/loves her so why not just say that?!

Le Sigh why can’t people just tell you they want to lick your butt and hold your heart and everyone live together in perfect freakbooty harmony?!

But if you haven’t started this series what are you doing human ? Go get yourself a sweet little treat. Also let’s all beg Madam Nox to have Nicki Diamond narrate Denise !!

I’ve attached the link because you gotta try it 🥰😍

Denise is off limits to Isaac as his step sister let alone the fact shes half his age, but when her bf Matt steals from him, he decides to take something of his, Denise. As the lines blur, the intensity of their desires build but the what end. Well written engaging steamy quick, off limits, step sibling age gap romance.

3⭐️
2 🌶️

Triggers (possible spoilers): cheating (FMC w/ MMC who is widowed), death of spouse mentioned, theft (current), break-in resulting in robbery & murder mentioned (past), toxic relationship (FMC with first boyfriend), blackmail, age gap, breeding kink, no condom, no pregnancy

Pheeeeeew! That was a close one 🙈 I almost thought this was gonna wind up down the pregnancy trope route, what with the complete disregard for condoms and the fmc *oops* forgot to refill her birth control pills and is "fertile" 🙃🙄. For me the 🍞ing kink sorta came out of left field but I took it all in. Because crazily enough, even though I don't like pregnancy and babies in my romance at all, I actually do like a little bit of breeding kink 😏

I got this book for free during Stuff Your Kindle Day and I'd say it's worth a read. The pacing was decent, the tension and spice were good, and I saw very few grammar issues. I will say I didn't feel it was very taboo despite their relationship as step-siblings, but it's okay. It ends on a HFN with no pregnancy.

This taboo tale is perfect! The storyline and pacing were awesome. I also fell in love with the characters. The FMC, Denise, is very relatable. My feelings on the MMC, Isaac, who is like a brother to her were mixed at first, but I eventually loved him too. Denise starts out with a jerk for a boyfriend, Matt, because why not. But with help from Isaac, she quickly starts to realize she deserves better. There is plenty of well-spaced spice throughout this book. But whew! By the time we get to the ending it is spice after spice after delicious spice. And I loved it. This is one I will definitely keep on my reread list because I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also liked the characters enough to want a sequel or even a prequel if this author should be so kind as to give us one.

Short step-sibling, age gap, taboo romance. They've had feelings for each other for a while but she's been involved with someone else, but that ends shortly into the book. Neither wanted to admit their feelings because they have a huge age gap and he's her stepbrother. Once he decides to push the envelope and not give a damn about their ages or parents it is spicy and moving quickly to the next level of their relationship.

No one writes naughty like Neve Nox. Denise and Issac's story continues that opinion. If you're dipping your toe into taboo romance, this is the book for you. And with psudeocest and a deliciously dark MMC, experienced taboo readers will be happy, too. I love Nox's short little naughties...perfect length for a nice, relaxing bath. Just don't let your kindle get too wet. 😉

I believe this is the first book I've read by this author, and it won't be my last. Denise and Isaac's story draws you in in a way that makes you keep reading. I really liked the taboo element that we get in the story. You can't help falling in love with them. The story is quick and steamy. I liked it.

[Mary S. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Whatever He Wants was good read. Just wish that it was a bit longer. Isaac and Denise story had so much potential to be a great story the little drama that happens in their story was good. But it would be much better if it had a better happy ending maybe with them getting married making a family too. But so far I like their story.

With problems in Denise life with her boyfriend Matt, will she take the bait set by Isaac, well get on this little hot ride to find out.
Pretty fast paced from one moment to the next, decent amount of spicy scene for the plot.

Overall a wonderful sexy, quick, enjoyable read, that makes you want another. This book was deliciously steamy, and extremely dirty. A story that is exciting and some what twisted. This book is an intense, page-turning story filled with romance, and high stakes. I loved everything about it and I couldn’t put it down until the end! Highly recommend!

[Paula · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm used to reading Neve Nox's shorter stories, so this took a while for me to really get into but not that long, because once the spicy scenes started, I immediately became fully invested! I enjoyed it A LOT, if you know what I mean. *wink, wink* This might get bumped into a 5-star read after I read it a second time. Eh, I'm just gonna take any excuse to read it again anyway. ;)

[Chante Heaven · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fast-paced read with plenty of angst, a touch of spice, and characters—well, one character—that I disliked immensely. Isaac is more than morally grey; he's morally bankrupt. Such a great read!

This novella is so good. I love the taboo relationship between Isaac and Denise. I loved the spice scenes so much. I wish this book was longer

A naughty, spicy good time.

This is a fast-paced forbidden romance that is dark, depraved, immoral, and so delicious.
The tension was on point with A+ spice.
It's so wrong but that's why it's so exciting.

Tropes:
Morally-gray
Age-gap
Forbidden
Stepbrother
Dual pov
