Final Take: A Taboo Stepdad & Age Gap Novel

Rate this book
Lana never planned on living alone with her stepfather, Callan, but that’s how things unfolded after her mother packed a bag and disappeared. With no savings and nowhere else to go, Lana stays in his house and tries to keep out of his way. Callan is a famous porn star, and his million-dollar home feels like a constant stream of noise and bodies. People come and go, filming content and throwing parties, but Lana focuses on film school and pretends she doesn’t notice any of it.

When she gets an assignment to analyze a film production, her best friend suggests she ask Callan about his work. Lana hesitates at first, but decides to go for it when she realizes it might give her a fresh perspective she couldn’t get anywhere else. She expects him to refuse, but he agrees, and suddenly the dynamic between them starts to shift.

Even though she’s only there to write her essay, Lana ends up helping him in ways she didn’t anticipate. Callan is usually in complete control on set, but now, only with her in the room can he stay aroused for his scenes.

When Lana realizes she’s drawn to him, she remembers her best friend’s advice to let herself be more open and stop holding back. Tentatively, she offers to be his fluffer, testing the boundaries of her own desires, and he accepts without hesitation. They agree to keep it professional, but the closeness and intimacy are bound to lead to more.

Everything shifts when someone else crosses a line, exposing something meant to stay private. Lana is blindsided and pulls away, convinced he used her. But will she ever trust him again or walk away forever?

I hate leaving a 3 stars because all of her other books have been 5 stars for me. It wasn’t a bad read I just didn’t connect with the characters like I have from her other books. I didn’t care too much for the MMC being an adult film producer as well as him having parties late nights when she has school. I did love that he surprised her at the ending with her own writing room. The tension and angst was there and it was well written I just wish I loved it more 🥺

This was intense and yet so beautifully chaotic, I felt every emotion they felt

I love it the age gap sets of a underlined tone but the forbiddenness is there in the words and inner thought. Both characters are wounded in their own way but they find confidence and control in each other I was all for the spice it was pack with a burn and a raw hunger for each other I couldn't put it down and I also wanted about epilogue. I can say that the hate her mother spews is vile and triggering at times but the fmc over comes every battle with the mmc by her side callan definitely has a way of being unsure and confident with her but he truly is off balance with her and I love that he allows her to have control

So the spice in this book is really giving but the plot lacks of intrigue and it’s mainly smut. It’s only smut but it’s a good book for a normal reading. I would not particularly recommend it for people who love to read books with actual plot but if you just want to spend your time and want to have some fun while you read something, then you should definitely check this book out because it gives all the spices that you need to spice up your day.

¿Qué cagada acabo de leer?

Seven Rue jamás mejoro su escritura en cuanto sus personajes, Lana es esa pick me odiosa y que es el centro de rehabilitación del protagonista masculino. Para mí fue un martirio que tarde tanto en terminar porque me emputaba ver, pendejadas de preparatoria, si tuviera dieciséis me lo creería. La historia es relleno súper sobre dramático y no obstante la cogedera ni chida está.

Está historia es una de Wattpad nefasta y insípida. He leído cosas mejores en fanfics o historias de literotica.

Ya eso decir mucho, no ayuda.

La virginidad ya hoy en día, no se puede describir lo desgarrador de perderla por una relación tan toxica como la de Lana y Callan. Deseaba saber más sobre los estragos de la decadencia del mundo pornografico y sobre el guionismo en un Hollywood decadente y lleno de ideología woke. La falta de creatividad.

Los angeles se sentía desabrido y aburrido. Hasta la saga digerible de los artefactos oscuros de cazadores de sombras se sentía que tenía chispa pero jamás harán los angeles como boyz in the hood o otras películas.




Puta madre, la historia debió ser menos de cincuenta páginas que casi trescientas o ni sé. Está crítica la escribo lo más fresco que tengo el cerebro al aguantar a Lana sintiéndose superior por ser virgen y también miserable. ¿Asa? Tengo la sospecha que iba ser el tercero de discordia pero lo pusieron nomás como un personaje sin sentido. He de sospechar que es de otro libro del sevenrueverso.


Bilss fue un fracaso en ventas en lo que pude ver, una versión aburridisma de Azula. Que esa me enfureció a tal grado que me hizo crujir los dientes, está también pero aquí hay muchos errores en las descripciones de la mejor amiga Holland. De peliroja a rubia y que cambio muy rápido de carrera, damn bro, me di cuenta que ni una edición para quitarle el exceso de relleno.

Eden, mereces un abrazo de mi parte y una historia que te hubieran hecho con dignidad. Ella merecía una conclusión mejor en su historia, se notaba que amaba de verdad a Callan.



La historia nos habla de Lana wiskers, algo así su apellido, que su
jefecita la deja abandonada, la típica buchona pero en versión gringa es una villana caricatura como Kira y Karlee esas dos me dieron mucha lastima porque pudieron ser muy buenas antagonistas para darle una trama más realista a ese cochinero.

Toda la historia era un estira y afloje de Lans siendo insufrible y con mommy issues y misoginia. También en el final donde Callan dejó de chambear de actor porno por el mecánico. ¿En dónde se supo eso? No tiene sentido que sea hipermilloneario en el ámbito pornográfico, incluso serbian flim hizo un trabajo de investigación más realista y verídico que esto. Yo te creía que fueran clase media alta, pero no mamen. Estoy harta y molesta en que Seven Rue, no pueda arriesgarse más en el desarrollo de personajes.

Echo es una versión fanfic de credence pero con una muda, que ese personaje es encantador pero por desgracia, no supieron aprovechar. When Octuber stars, plagio de una película canadiense que ni es la gran cosa tampoco.

He visto hentais más hard cores con más trama que final take. Cuarenta capitulos que no pasa nada. Solo sobre estiraron una historia que hubiera terminado después de la primera vez.


El profesor del proyecto no tiene nada de importancia. Y muchísimo menos, que Callan siempre interrumpía su película porno tantas veces, que es inverosímil. Hay matrimonios con parejas que no están en el mundo porno y también que no haya el cuidado en las enfermedades venerias. También aspectos donde que las producciones pornográficas casi no permiten lo que vieron en este historia. Holland pues... ¿Por qué está ahí? Nomás para ser mc guffin.

Madison también mereces otra mejor historia.



Hasta empatice con la loca de su madre, una mujer con una autoestima rota y que la pobre tenía que prostituirse para pagarle la universidad a la werquilla. La mejor amiga, quitenla de la trama y avanzamos. Rocoo como se llama también, neta ¿Qué cóño aportaron?


Miren, no estoy pidiendo una novela erótica con un premio de literatura pero esto es el colmo del aburrimiento. Me hubiera gustado que Callan fuera sido una mierda con ella para darle un plot twist impresionante ero pos no. Lo del vídeo grabado, se me hizo muy forzado y su epílogo, no por amor de Dios.

En eso deberían vivir en la ruina porque Callan ya no chambea en el porno.

No la recomiendo. Menos diez estrellas y no lo lean. Igual fue una tortura que volveré a leer de ella, sólo por masoquista.

Me desvele leyendo este libro, pero termine un poco decepcionada ¿Quien me devuelve esas horas de sueño?

El inicio fue súper atrapante, el desarrollo un poco meh y el final fue un OK. Es que de verdad al principio estaba súper atrapada, la tensión entre ambos, el no saber cual sería su próximo paso, pero luego todo paso tan rápido que quedaron muchas cosas inconclusas.

Probablemente es un libro que se enfoca más en ese trope novedoso y en el spicy, que en la verdadera historia, sin embargo todo esto me terminó decepcionando. Le faltó ese algo, me falto entender el porqué de muchas cosas. Lana volvía, perdonaba y superaba mágicamente. Quede un poco “¿Es enserio?” con algunas de sus acciones. Y Callan la amaba pero la alejaba y ¿Por que mierda hizo eso en la primera vez?. Me hubiera tener respuesta y ver arrastre, profundidad en Callan, celos de este, porque me perdí un poco en lo que se supone era posesivo.

Pero en fin, nada más que algo caliente con un sabor amargo y mucho sueño.

I know this is supposed to be a taboo romance and all that, but I wish the characters were given more depth and personality. The romance feels a bit too rushed and seems to come out of nowhere (I was genuinely confused when Callan suddenly started caring). The premise of the MMC being an adult movie actor and director should have been explored more instead of being presented in such a superficial way. It would have been interesting to delve into the inner workings of the porn industry, but alas. Especially since Lana is a fluffer for a while and then that plot point goes nowhere, I was really hooked during that part. Even the spicy scenes felt flat. The fact that Lana was his stepdaughter isn’t even really discussed at all.

The virgin FMC paired with a famous porn star MMC was a step too far for me in this context, as it would have felt much more natural if things hadn’t been so awkward. Lana’s loneliness and neglect are well written, and Callan’s guilt is acknowledged, but watching a nineteen-year-old virgin navigate voyeurism, sexual control, and obsession inside a porn-filled house often felt too much rather than seductive. The story doesn’t pretend the dynamic is healthy, which I appreciated, yet the imbalance never fully stopped bothering me and the concept itself was too much for my personal preferences.

So so so so good!

As with all of Seven’s books, I knew I’d enjoy this one. As the story unfolded, I felt so many different emotions, making me extremely invested in how everything turned out.

Lana has literally been through hell and back but never lost her strength. She was amazing, and when Callan saw past his own walls, he was brought back to life. I love how much they helped each other find peace in a life that had been too chaotic for each of them, even when they lived in polar opposite worlds.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

My review is going to sound like I didn’t enjoy the book, but I really did. It was light, had some decent spice, and was a good book to zone out to.

Howeverrrr… Definitely anticipated this being spicier and was sad about that.

Lana also just annoyed the heck out of me and that makes it difficult - as you can imagine.

She loves to say “I don’t judge people in the industry”, but clearly she has a problem with it imo. And ofc the other women were all the villains in the story. Please, let’s not. She just gave me the ick.

I was really excited about this book and it did deliver. But the last 25-30% of the book i feel fell a bit flat. The spice is good but not overwhelming in the book.
The epilogue is good but not really that surpsing or worthwhile.
I do recommend the read though

Great but not amazing

I loved their story, but I just wish there was a little more. The ending felt a bit rushed. But other than that, Seven did a good job!

Creo que la autora me tenia acostumbrada a escenas más extremas o personajes un poco más interesantes. Pero seguiré leyendo lo que publique.
