Father Knows Best

A Family Affair #1

by Daisy Jane

On their wedding night, Avery’s honeymoon gift shatters her new husband Sutton’s world, leaving her fleeing in tears, and him chasing her in shock.

But when she collides with her father-in-law, the silver fox Geo Mercer, he proposes a solution that will unite the three of them in ways they never imagined.

Sutton, the strait-laced heir to Mercer Properties, thought he knew his wife. But Avery’s desires seem to challenge everything he thought he knew about her and their relationship.

Geo, the charismatic and extroverted CEO, has always regretted the distance between him and his son. Now, with Sutton and Avery's problem, he sees a chance to heal old wounds and save them before they crash.

As the three of them navigate uncharted territory, the Mercers discover that love, trust, and intimacy can take many forms.

But can their unconventional arrangement survive the scrutiny from their peers, the world around them and their own hearts?

She needs more kink in her life & HER HUSBAND’S DAD VOLUNTEERS as a solution! It’s all good because her husband is there to observe 👀🫣 Talk about a family affair!!

“Look at me while you take it from him”

Avery & Sutton are a madly in-love until the relationship implodes on their wedding night 👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏻 When Avery realizes she needs MORE KINK from her reserved vanilla husband HIS DAD MEDIATES THEIR SEX CONFLICT and presents himself as a solution *picture me scandalized* Daddy dearest will fill the kink-gap in their marriage while his son just observes….

I was curious to see how the dynamic will shake out but it worked since the men provide different things. It was definitely different from other MFM stories as the focus is on SHARING the fmc rather than romance between all of them.

⭐️ cuck awakening *initially a side eye but you know what…hell yeah*

⭐️ she has a bigger libido

⭐️ the husband will always be touching her while the Father is….performing

⭐️ MMCs are both dominant constantly passing control

The son/father relationship was never romantic with Sutton not wanting to ever touch the dad but I don’t really know how that’s possible in this scenario. I’ll accept it for the plot. It was a bit ironic how the “vanilla” husband said he is not into kink but ended up doing the MOST KINKY thing possible by watching them fuck the house down 👀👀 Basically they both worshipped Avery and it was hot. The end.

4.5 ⭐️ ALTHOUGH I don’t know how the kid’s familial ties would work. Their children would be siblings but also uncle/nephew?? My brain hurts…

I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I picked up 'Father Knows Best' by Daisy Jane, but wow - this book took me by surprise in the best possible way. I went in expecting a steamy taboo romance (and yes, we definitely get there), but what I didn’t expect was just how emotional and layered the story would be.

It’s a slow burn (don’t expect MFM action right away), but the payoff is so worth it. This story is about healing, trust, and love in forms that aren’t often explored.
By the end, I wasn’t just hot and bothered - I was invested!

What you can expect:
♡ forbidden romance
♡ workplace
♡ father + son sharing
♡ slow burn
♡ age gap
♡ their wife > his wife

If you’re into contemporary billionaire romance that’s not afraid to blur lines and push boundaries, but still wants to make you feel something, this one’s definitely worth reading.😁

2 stars.

I thought I was going to enjoy "Father Knows Best" by Daisy Jane, but I did not connect with the characters at all. The beginning of the book is very good, but the longer it went on, the more annoying it got, and the more disconnected I got. There is little to no spark between the main couple, Avery and Sutton, and we're supposed to believe they are obsessed with each other and are getting married? I literally LOLed when Sutton pulled out his wedding night gift from Avery. The reaction was so dramatic and shame-y! Real men get down with toys, ok!?! Even if you're vanilla, at leats don't shame her!!! I mean, I understand that it's the catalyst for what happens next in the story, but it was still soooo goofy, like, jaw-droppingly silly. And speaking about what happens next, you really have to prepare for the tab0o that's coming. I felt the pacing was uneven at best. There's a large, long, and overly dramatic chunk in the beginning, and the entire thing feels sluggish at best. It's got tons of spice, which I always appreciate and look forward to, but I didn't enjoy any of it because it was so messy and devoid of chemistry! When Geo gets added into the mix, it's a little like..... you're not ok with your wife and what she wants to do with her body, but you're ok adding your father into the mix???? Does not compute! Does not work! Is not vanilla! I get that that might be the point, but it's both messy in a drama way and messy from a writing standpoint. It just doesn't work! I likely won't read part two of this series.

Thank you to Daisy Jane and Hambright PR for the complimentary ARC of this book. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this review.

The artwork & cover is what drew me to this book immediately. I love an age gap & taboo romance, make it why choose and even better. But sadly this one just fell so flat for me.

One of the MC’s essentially kink shames the FMC for what she wants to try in bed & that didn’t sit right with me. He was as vanillas as they come and I truly thought once his dad got involved, he’d have some character growth and be more open minded. Sadly, this did not happen 🫠 So many things just didn’t make sense, but I don’t want to spoil if you choose to read. I also didn’t really feel any kind of emotional connection between any of the characters tbh, it was just sex.

All of these opinions are simply my own and what I might not have enjoyed, someone else very well could.

Thank you to The Smuthood for this ARC🤍

This was incredible emotional while being super spicy, kinky and taboo

The premise of this book had me lol

This was more serious than I thought it was going to be. It also had alot of tension, thick forbidden tension lol

There is a lot of lead up in this book, until we get to the goods lol. The chemistry was so good in this book.

I think in a weird way this is a book you go in blind to, and trust the process, trust Daisy Jane for sure.

This is a book about Father & son sharing a woman, the sons wife.

You want to be shocked at this book, and I guess you are lol but it also works. Its going to work real well for those taboo, smutty, kinky readers.

Their dynamic works. The layers of each character are unfolded, there is more than the spice. There is real character development for sure.

I also adored the banter and dialog.

I’m happy. Because if we’re going to make this work, It’s pretty important you give him the same love you give me. That’s what he deserves, too.”

I think this was a unique book. Something I have not read before thats for sure.

You should give it a shot

So thankful for this arc

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
I wanted to like this book so bad, I really did. I’m a big fan of the more taboo the better, and I sucker for the why choose trope, but there was just something about this book that I disliked. The spice was decent, but the relationships just weren’t it for me. Avery is probably one of my most hated FMC’s I’ve ever read and I think Geo deserved SO much better!

ARC REVIEW

This was not for me. Honestly there were moments I felt a little uncomfy reading this which rarely happens and its hard to put my finger on why. To be frank not a lot of romancy things have gone down. Its quite family drama fiction vibes (which is fine but 🤷🏻‍♀️) until all of the sudden its like final 40% smut.

The dialog and spice here did not quite work for me. It seems like Sutton and Avery aren’t a good match? Like no matter how much the author tries to get us to believe they should be together if Avery is always waiting for Sutton to change so he can please her how are we supposed to root for them? like when they finally hash it out after their wedding Sutton refuses to even entertain or try to explore some of Avery’s interests. YET HE AGREES TO LETTING HIS FATHER FUCK HIS WIFE? That literally makes no sense.

Also though like theres no oral for Avery? Which like is fine but feels weird given the amount of other things these two get up to (sounding which i had never heard of). Im not sure who this book is written for. I feel like its almost written for men? Its hard to describe.

I think i will not be reading anything from this author in the future.

[Chelsea | Mrs Viking Reads · Rating 3 out of 5]

I want to preface this with the fact that I love smut, I love kinky stuff and I don’t really have much in the way of limits.

Writing style? Actually smooth as butter.

Plot? Baby, you are going to have to suspend not just disbelief but like your entire frontal lobe. Maybe I am asking for too much in my smut but I at least need it to be semi-believable and you cannot tell me that Sutton is both vanilla AND cool with tag-teaming his wife with his dad 🤣

We’ve got Sutton, aka Mr Vanilla Lights-Off Missionary-Only, who literally cannot handle his wife swallowing, suddenly morphing into “let me watch Dad rail my bride and also get involved” energy. The cognitive dissonance is louder than the headboard in this book.

Geo, the father-in-law, is the charismatic silver fox who swoops in like “Don’t worry son, I’ll fix your marriage” and I’m just sitting there like: sir, that is NOT in the family therapy handbook. But I can kinda get behind it if he was offering to help without his child present 😭

And then the kids. The kids! They are somehow siblings and uncles?? Like yes, give me a morally questionable throuple, but please don’t make me do a family tree with a compass and protractor 🤯 I’m here for kink not messy family dynamics and it gives me the ick bringing children into this mess, even if they’re fictional.

Overall: round of applause for writing style, Daisy has a gift with words for sure. But a big fat NOPE from me on the storyline. Loved the prose, just couldn’t get behind the premise.

Ugh chapter 4!!! Avery is hitting me right in the heart! It’s so hard to initiate when you’re not used it to it and then feel rejected

Okay I read the rest of this book in one sitting! I really enjoyed this book! Yes it was taboo but the way Daisy did this was actually really beautiful.
It’s so interesting and really opens the conversation, I think, to when a couple has differing libidos and k!nks.
I’m not saying parents of spouses need to be brought into the mix!! But I think it’s an important conversation to have. I thought it was so beautiful how much Sutton loved Avery and was willing to do whatever she needed to get her needs fulfilled.
If you’re looking for a taboo romance that will hit you in the heart - here you go!!

ARC Review: Father Knows Best
Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Father Knows Best by Daisy Jane definitely pushes into taboo territory, but it does so in a way that feels more emotional and heartfelt than shock-driven. Avery’s relationships with Sutton and Geo are unique and layered, each bringing out different sides of her and adding depth to the story. What stood out most for me was the theme of healing—watching the Mercers confront past wounds and rebuild trust while also exploring unconventional intimacy gave the book a stronger emotional core than I expected.

The writing balances spice with genuine character development, making it more than just a forbidden romance—it’s a story about love in all its complicated forms. If you enjoy contemporary billionaire romances that aren’t afraid to blur boundaries and lean into taboo, this one is definitely worth picking up.

Thank you to @hambright_pr and @authordaisyjane for sending me an ARC to review!

[Kristie Wagner · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was completely captivating. While not something for everyone, the situation between Avery, Sutton, and Geo encompasses the best parts of physical and emotional openness. Avery wants so much more than Sutton has been giving her, but she also feels guilty for asking for more. But apparently Geo has the solution.

Navigating uncharted waters, the three of them have a brand new balance to perfect, through both work and home life alike. As things heat up, they're faced with difficult questions and even scarier answers. But what if it all worked out? What if.

Do not read this around anyone. 🥵

[Tiffany ✨️ Bergamot Book Reviews · Rating 2 out of 5]

Avery is obsessed with the man she intends to marry. Sure, he's extremely vanilla in the bedroom, and only wants to be intimate in set parameters with the lights off, but she's sure that'll change the moment they're married. She decides to test the waters and surprise him the night they wed, only for it to blow up spectacularly in her face. The only one who can save them turns out to be the one man her husband just started to rebuild a relationship with - his father.

*****

I really wanted to like this one, but it was absolutely nothing like I expected. The book was a massive slog of family drama for the first solid 60% of it. Both leads were interested in each other but had terrible communication, kept important secrets, and had no communication about mutual bedroom interests. To the point that any time the FMC attempted to bring up things that could spice up their marriage she was immediately shot down by the MMC.

It made for two leads that I genuinely hoped didn't end up together, which isn't how I would approach a taboo romance. From there we get the involvement of the father, and a really weird and convoluted back story that includes his wife's passing and him deciding to look like a horrible person in the public eye and never clearing it up with his son. It made absolutely no sense, and I'm not sure why the lions share of the book was dedicated to it.

From there we get a very rushed decision to involve the dad in the relationship, some huge leaps and bounds in how that looks, and some scenes that were hot but also strange at times. The constant pulling back of the dad, the poor communication all around, and the incessant drama had me wanting this one to end. The epilogue was interesting, and the dynamic was better in that jump than it was in the novel, but I still wasn't bought into these characters and their apparent love story.

I devoured this HOT book. Ex-boyfriend’s dad? Nah. How about husband AND his dad?? YUM 😋

In this book, we have Avery, her dreamy beau Sutton AND his dad Geo. On Avery and Sutton’s wedding night, Avery gifts him something to hint at working some kink into their marriage and Sutton’s reaction drives her right into the arms of his father, Geo, who proposes a solution that’s a win/win/win for all 🤭

I loved the pacing of this book and how we fall for Avery and Sutton as a couple and then get Geo is added into the dynamic. There is so much more than just a girl getting tag teamed by her husband and his dad - but don’t fret, that does in fact occur. But there was a lot of emotion involved as well as healing for all of trio. I may or may not have cried through the wedding night scene… The ending was perfection as well. And I’m loving a lactation moment recently

Another Daisy Jane banger 😱🤦🏽‍♀️

I have read every single new release she has put out in the past year and this one felt completely different from the rest, but in such a good way.

I’d consider this a slow burn, mostly because we start with a male-female couple and it takes almost 60% of the book before we get to the MFM part.

I’ve read a few books where the father and son share the same female character, and I usually find myself rooting for the father from the start, even if they are all supposed to end up together. But for the first time, I genuinely felt for the son well before I even cared about the father.

This book was 100% character driven. Most of the story is about building relationships and navigating the very specific dynamics between the characters. It all felt so mature and natural that I actually found myself wondering if a relationship like this could work in real life. That has never happened before 😱

So, don’t go into this expecting a smut fest from the start, but when we get to the steamy parts, it’s perfectly written.

I read this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

✨️📖 ARC Review 📖✨️

Daisy really came in and rocked my world with Father Knows Best!! I loved the tropes and figured that I would end up liking this trio. What I wasn't expecting was for me to fall head over heels for these three! I loved seeing the three of them grow within their relationships.

Avery was a woman who knew what she wanted and hinted to try new things with Sutton. Unfortunately, Sutton was the most vanilla man 😆! He loved Sutton but he struggled to see that she needed more than what he could offer. I can appreciate a woman who is confident enough in herself to ask for what she needs. Even if it may not be what their partner can fulfill. Avery wanted more but hoped that Sutton could do that for her. Sutton being the vanilla man he was couldn't provide that for Avery, but maybe someone else could have 🤔. 

I'm not going to lie and say that I wasn't blown away when Daddy Dearest (lol) came to the rescue. Yes, I know the book is called Father Knows Best, but I wasn't expecting Geo to be the one to come to the rescue. Geo and Sutton had an strained relationship for so long, and had to finally have the time to work through their issues. When Geo was the one to try to work through things with them, I was like YESSSSSS!! 

If the real Geo looked anything like our sexy cover model, then I am sooooo down!!! I live my age gap fantasy daily, but not like Geo would be! I appreciated that he was willing to be their sounding board, and the offer he made. I would have fainted right away when it finally hit what was going to happen! If every older man was the stallion that Geo was, booyyyyyy things would be sooo different in this world!

These three literally had the most off the charts chemistry!! I really wondered how different it would be with Geo as the third in the relationship, but it was like it was meant to be. They had a comfortable dynamic, even at times I'm sure was a little awkward. But I loved seeing how they are co-existed successfully from what I saw.

Father Knows Best is a spicy taboo romance with high emotions. Getting along with your in-laws takes on a new meaning. Sutton and Avery are madly in love with each other. After he proposes his father, Geo, wants to try to reconcile things. They’ve had a good working relationship but their personal one has always been strained. Avery helps them communicate by encouraging Geo to finally tell Sutton the truth about his mother. Sutton starts to show Avery what she thinks is his willingness to spice up his vanilla ways. Their relationship is solid and after a beautiful wedding, she has a surprise for him, but it ends in tears. Sutton’s Father, Geo, sees Avery running from their suite in tears and goes after her to help. Geo knows they love each other and wants to help before they throw everything away. Geo’s solution is simple, he’ll step in and give Avery the chance to explore things that Sutton is not comfortable with. I really appreciated the open communication between Avery and Sutton, even though it should have happened before the wedding night. The relationships get stronger and the spice gets hotter. You would think Sutton or Geo would become jealous but that doesn’t happen. They’re happy the other can give Avery what she needs. This sweet and spicy taboo romance has me wanting more from Daisy Jane.

A Few Favorite Quotes:

“Now sit down and hold those high heels, baby. Let him make you feel good, and keep your eyes on me.”

[thebeespot72 · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’ve read several Daisy Jane books, including Bound by Brielle, which is somewhat similar, as it featured a threesome. However, there was no father-son dynamic present in that story. Now, before potential readers think that it’s father and son together in Father Knows Best, it’s not what you think. Geo is the father. Sutton is the son. And Avery is Sutton’s fiancée/wife.

Sutton is described as vanilla in the bedroom, and Avery hopes that after they marry, he will loosen up. On their wedding night, things don’t go as planned, and Geo intervenes and offers to help. That help turns out to be providing Avery with what she needs. Oh, Sutton will be there too.

For some readers, this may be perceived as a taboo vibe that might not be what they’re looking for, but to others, it offers steamy excitement added to the plot. Daisy Jane delivers three POVs that enable readers to fully understand the characters' perspectives, about what they want out of this type of relationship, self-doubt, and ultimately how their love for each other develops and strengthens. Without a doubt, the spice was there, but emotions were surprisingly felt in this one!

Emotionally charged Romance

Father Knows Best is the first book in DJ new series A Family Affair and boy is this book a family affair. This is my first book of hers and wow, I have been baptized by fire.

Make sure you read the warnings. It is a why choose, MFM with taboo undertones, workplace, father/son sharing, and age gap.

This book was steamy, but it also pulls at your heart strings. The Mercer men had a past wound(Suttons Mom) that Avery helped heal. Geo had practically sacrificed his life for is son. Sutton blamed him for the past.
Avery and Sutton are so in love, and both equally obsessed with each other. He’s protective of her. The only problem? She’s more adventurous, he’s a more vanilla, golden retriever who will love and do anything for his wife.
Cue the angst, and Geo(his dad) entering the picture on their wedding night to try to help them navigate this hurdle. And, buckle up to go on the roller coaster ride. Nothing like a silver fox to “show her” and help her explore her sexuality. The catch? Sutton loves to watch his wife be happy but he also loves to please her. Avery brings out a different side to each man and they do the same for her.
While the storyline with these two men was emotional I love how they were vulnerable enough to be able to find themselves and find forgiveness within the complexities of unconditional love.

[Willie Mercedes · Rating 4 out of 5]

FATHER KNOWS BEST IS BOOK ONE IN THE FAMILY AFFAIR SERIES, AND WOW-WHAT A RIDE.
AVERY CRAVES MORE THAN SUTTON'S BEEN GIVING, AND SOMEHOW, GEO MIGHT JUST BE THE ANSWER. HER RELATIONSHIPS WITH BOTH MEN ARE MESSY, LAYERED, AND RAW —EACH PULLING OUT DIFFERENT SIDES OF HER.
WHAT HIT ME HARDEST? THE HEALING. WATCHING THE MERCERS FACE OLD WOUNDS, REBUILD TRUST, AND EXPLORE INTIMACY OUTSIDE THE "NORM" GAVE THIS STORY A SURPRISING EMOTIONAL PUNCH. IS THIS BOOK FOR EVERYONE? NOPE. SOME READERS WILL CLUTCH THEIR PEARLS SO HARD THEY SHATTER. BUT IF YOU LOVE FORBIDDEN ROMANCE, COMPLICATED DYNAMICS, AND SPICE THAT ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING— THIS ONE'S FOR YOU.

I was so excited when I saw the cover, art, and heard that this would be a MFM father son combo!

Unfortunately, this one fell flat for me. I didn’t really feel any emotional connection between the FMC and either main character, although Geo was definitely my favorite of the bunch! I really felt bad that Avery’s husband made her feel like a hussy for not wanting a vanilla sex life, and while I know everyone has boundaries, I thought he was unfairly stubborn with not wanting to try anything that catered to her desires.

The spice was enjoyable and I really appreciated that the author explored so many kinks with the FMC!

Thank you to Hambright PR for the earc of Father Knows Best!

[Ashton Reads · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was surprised how much this leaned into family drama dynamics between the father and son. The MFM set up didn’t happen until the second half, and by then it felt verrrry rushed with the romantic emotions and “I love you”s. The smut was also just okay for me. Other than a random sounding scene (which didn’t fit the vibe of the characters at all tbh) I struggled to understand what was so kinky that Sutton needed his dad to step in 😅

[Cocolici · Rating 5 out of 5]

So yeah, this is one of those books you can’t explain to non-readers what you’re reading… because it’s so taboo and I f×cking loved every second of it. 🥵

Daisy Jane doesn’t hold back here. The forbidden tension was thick enough to choke on, and the chemistry was off the charts. Sutton may have been a little bit of a wuzz (I said what I said 👀), but honestly, if he hadn’t been, we wouldn’t have gotten this delicious forbidden/taboo little MFM that had me grinning like the devil himself. 😈

[gen.readsatnight · Rating 4 out of 5]

I dove into this headfirst and fast, having just read 4 books off Daisy’s back catalogue, and I was pleasantly surprised that it was not like the others.

If you want fast, high spice: this is not it. This is a slow-burn, and it takes a while to get to the MFM (not a spoiler, don’t come at me!), but oh my! is it worth it. 👏🏻 You get full character development that is essential to the plot of the story. Trust me.

What you can expect:
🩷💕 Forbidden romance (yup, you can call it that 🤣)
🏙️ Workplace (all 3 main characters work at the same place)
👫🧍🏻‍♂️ Father & son sharing son’s wife (yup, you read that right!)

[Jenna Petula · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love a daddy and anything Wander is on the cover of is a MUST read. So when I found Father Knows Best by Daisy Jane, I was absolutely ready to rock.

Father Knows Best starts with the story of Sutton Mercer, son of Geo Mercer, and his girlfriend Avery. On their wedding night, Avery asks Sutton to do something a bit more adventurous, which spooks the vanilla Sutton.

And Geo ends up offering his services to his son’s new bride. Which they accept.

I won’t spoil any of how that goes down. But the plot is deeper than I expected!

Daisy’s writing is fun, no question. Easy to read and the heavy spice as plot with a solid back story is exactly why I love smut so much.

Father Knows Best is out NOW on KU and paperback.

A short review is incoming because otherwise it can become a spoiler. So, taking that into mind, I will say that I think I should not have liked the book, but I did, and it was a really well-written story with a kinky plot, and a good justification for it too. Do read the author's note at the start and read the blurb, it’ll suggest everything in the right direction and decide accordingly. The characters are amazing, each one has their own quality that will make you think about them again and again. Go enjoy.

Holy spice Batman

Avery has everything she could want. A job she loves, a man she loves more than anything and is about to marry. There is something she desires and on her wedding night she finally has the courage to ask her husband, Sutton, for it.
The two come to an impasse and the one to help them through it is Suttons dad, Geo.
Geo hasn’t always been the father he could have been for Sutton, so when on his son’s wedding night he sees an opportunity to step in and help he does.
What he doesn’t anticipate is how much the three come to rely on each other and how much love and intimacy is in their future.

This was a good read. The smut wasn’t the focal point of the book but when it came, let me tell you 🥵
I loved to see how all the relationships grew and how each one of them grew within themselves. Sutton turned out to be completely different than I thought. Def the MVP of this book.

I usually don’t write a review unless the book is really good or really bad. My quibble isn’t with the author necessarily, but the ridiculous plot.

The pacing is really off, so that for 2/3 of the book, you have to read how vanilla the MMC is and their family drama.

I know these books are not meant to be reality but my god LMAO. The husband decides a but plug is a little too kinky…so the solution? A threesome with your dad, doi. I was actually laughing as I explained this to my husband.

But the spice is pretty hot.

ARC Review

I was very interested in this trope and how it would be written. I like it but I didn't love it like I was hoping for. I didn't feel strong connections between the characters and for a taboo trope like this I think you need to feel the electricity between them coming off the pages. I also found the "helping save the relationship" a bit boring, again I would rather it have been some magnetic draw. It was an ok book, one I likely won't forget because its a taboo trope not done often, but I just had really high hopes for this and was a bit let down.

🎶 “My baby's fit like a daydream. Walkin' with his head down, I'm the one he's walkin' to” 🎶

When a shocking revelation on their wedding night sends Avery (h) running and her new husband Sutton (H) reeling, an unexpected proposal from his father, Geo Mercer (H), changes everything. Sutton, the reserved heir to Mercer Properties, finds his marriage unraveling just as his charismatic father offers a daring way to mend it. As the three of them step into uncharted emotional and physical territory, long-buried tensions and desires surface, forcing them to redefine love, loyalty, and family.

“You can know with 100% certainty that I’m clean, I’ll be faithful to her while you both need me, and I won’t tell a single soul. And I won’t get attached because I know why I’m there. Who I’m doing it for.”

Geo felt like an outsider in the relationship, and even the time jump shows he still doesn’t spend time with Avery unless Sutton allows it. That feels too planned and calculated for something that’s supposed to be built on love. Sometimes I think Sutton pushed himself out of his comfort zone just to keep Avery, but he was being dishonest with himself in the process. He’s a romantic and a gentleman at heart, not kinky at all, so it doesn’t make sense how he could be okay sharing the love of his life with his dad when a butt plug was apparently his breaking point.

“It’s as fucked up as you make it. And anyway, you’d be making eye contact with her, watching her, keeping your focus and every ounce of your attention on her. Your wife. Watching her get what she needs. That will be your pleasure, being there, being able to allow her to get what she needs while being there.”

I don’t like that he accepted the arrangement just to stay married. At some point, he should’ve gotten an annulment and found a vanilla wife. Keep in mind he bought the ring six months into the relationship and claimed it was love at first sight, but they never had a real conversation about sex. Avery was satisfied at first, but she always wanted more. She was curious and open to exploring kinks, and Sutton wasn’t. Geo was all in for that kind of thing, so honestly, maybe they were a better match.

She wanted us both, at the same time, in the most intimate way possible. Because we’re both adverse to being inside of her in the same place at the same time, we found a solution for everyone.

I wanted to love them, but it felt like they used Geo as the glue holding their relationship together. Without him, everything would’ve fallen apart. They relied on him because Avery wanted things Sutton would never try. Did they ever stop to think maybe they just weren’t compatible? No. Instead, they brought in the dad to do what Sutton wouldn’t. The problem isn’t even the taboo part - it’s that Sutton got so used to watching until it became normal, like he needed his dad to keep Avery satisfied.

It’s not even that it was too taboo, it just felt like Sutton settled, Geo was being used, and the whole thing came too easy. It didn’t feel real. It felt off. Sutton got so used to watching until it became normal, like he needed his dad to keep Avery satisfied.
