He’s the brother-in-law but also HER BABY DADDY! Messy boots Christmas novella with a palatable cheating trope 🎄♥️🎄

Kayla got pregnant during a vacation fling with baby daddy Unknown. Years later baby daddy shows up over Christmas…as her BROTHER-IN-LAW. Merry SMUTmas!! 🎁 Beau wastes no time switching sisters & fully committing…in the sheets!

Favourite moment: when he uses Christmas lights as restraints during a smutty romp under the Christmas tree 🎄✨

I typically avoid cheating in romances like the plague but this trope was made palatable by the terrible sister & previous baby connection. Things were moving so fast I felt like it lacked a little romance. Yes, the mmc was technically fully committed & down bad for the…OG sister but I was still missing a little wooing.

It’s wild that B. Sobjakken gives me exactly what I ask for, (a book with only the good parts), and instead of being happy, I want the “more” that I didn’t want.

Kayla heads to Costa Rica for a vaca and has an absolutely spectacular fling that feels like way more than just a fling. She heads home and learns that she’s brought back a little unplanned souvenir. Finding the soon-to-be daddy proves difficult since they didn’t exchange numbers and gave each other fake names. Girlfriend even went so far as to send his picture to her estranged bitch of a sister.

Three years later and Kayla, her baby boy, and her mom all wait at the cabin to celebrate Christmas. For the first time, her evil sister plans to join them and bring along the man she just married without telling anyone about him (hint hint)

Being with Beau again is like not realizing you’re drowning until you take a large gulp of air. My body has been shocked into having the will to live again.

Beau arrives at the Christmas cabin and finds way more than just a present under the tree….
“I’m supposed to be obsessed with someone else, supposed to only touch one woman for the rest of my life, but here I am. Only wanting you, obsessed with you. It goes against my own morals, but I can’t seem to fucking care. It’s you, Kayla. It’s always only ever been you.”

A trip to town and a snowstorm makes it really convenient for Beau to stuff Kayla’s stocking. Yada yada, hard truths, and an HEA.
“I want to have another baby with you, but this time I’ll get to watch every single second. To see your belly growing with our child, to take you to the hospital and stand at your side while you give birth, and then bring them home to the house we built.”

SEX: When you have a short story like this, we skip to the good stuff really quickly. Their first time is at 32% and they fuck all weekend. Without condoms because homeboy wants another kid with Kayla asap.

CHEATING: I don’t consider it cheating. .

MISSING: While I love it when BS gives me what I want, I wanted MORE! One of the things he was upset about was that he missed out on all of the pregnancy stuff. After they confront the sister, we skip right to Kayla bring pregnant again and them having sex. We miss all of the stuff that we wanted!!! Finding out they’re pregnant, a doctor’s appointment to find out the sex of the baby, and the birth. I NEED THOSE THINGS! If you’re giving me a breeding trope and we make it to the end… give me those things!!! Those are the best parts.

Overall, I still loved it.

“It is what it is, honey. We all are living life for the first time; we’re going to make mistakes and they’re not going to be glamorous.”

Spoilers ahead


I don't want to say this book was stupid but...... maybe if it was fleshed out more 🤷🏾‍♀️🫣

H/h spend a weekend together but give each other fake names
when she finds out she's pregnant she tries to find him but no luck
fast forward a couple years later she goes to her family's cabin with her mom to meet her sister and her sister's new husband for Christmas
turns out the sister's new husband is her baby daddy
sister catches them, turns out the sister knew who he was she was just a bitch
HEA
Epilogue 6 months later


Even my review makes it sound better than it was , 😂


Quote

I know it’s wrong, that he’s my sister’s husband, even if he was my baby daddy first,


ughhhh like ms girllllll 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

This actually sounds much more dramatic than it was

******
cheating by H on his wife who's the sister of the h
It's said he didn't date while he looked for her for 2 years
no details on if he fucked the sister
how come he was so drawn to the h after a weekend that he ended up looking for her for 2 years but he didn't think to give her his number yet he married her evil bitchy sister 😒🤔. This would've worked much better if he was just dating the sister
As far as I can see they only wanted each other all that other stuff was just extra drama

A quick Christmas romp, you can always count on author to give us something fiery to read during the winter. There is a breeding kink, which I’ll never get, but didn’t take away from my enjoyment.

Holiday Novella? ✅

This pretty much had everything I could ask for. I only wish it was longer but MAN was this hot. Delicious. Did not disappoint. I’m always happy when it comes to a ONS that results in a baby, then they reunite years later. Always happy. So much fun !

It's about cheating guys. If that's a no no for you, maybe not this one. All I can say that can redeem this book for me is that it's a smutty galore and there is no emotional investment to care about any of these characters, at least for me. Just pure smut.

A filthy & delightful holiday novella! The forbidden and taboo aspect that we know and love from B Sobjakken!

🎄secret baby
🎄one night stand
🎄cheating
🎄br33ding
🎄brother in law
🎄snowed in

Kayla has a holiday hook up that leads to a surprise pregnancy. She tries to track down the father but has no luck. They both had given each other fake names.

Fast forward and now Kayla is at her family’s cabin with her mom and her son while they wait for the arrival of her sister (whom she doesn’t have a great relationship with) and her sisters husband (&& her sister never invited their mom or her to the wedding) so imagine Kayla’s surprise when her sisters husband is the man she had the one night stand with on her holiday….

Now things get filthy because Kayla’s sister and mom run to town but the weather is too bad to make it back to the cabin..leaving Kayla and Beau alone to talk about where they go from here but sparks fly and Beau knows exactly what he wants & it isn’t Kayla’s sister 🤣

Just when you think B Sobjakkens spice couldn’t get any dirtier or spicier she throws in some Christmas lights, a run through the woods, and hot cocoa with a chocolate cross…

Thank you for the advanced copy! It’s always a good time reading a B Sobjakken book!

Delightful Surprises — 1✨
I honestly wish this had turned into a full-on thriller where Kendall finally snapped, because at this point she had every reason to. The main characters were acting like toddlers who couldn’t admit they were wrong. If they had just owned up to what they did, I probably would’ve liked the book more, but instead they walked around acting innocent like Beau wasn’t cheating on his wife (the FMC’s own sister!) and Kayla wasn’t sleeping with her sister’s husband.
The mom was the worst. She should’ve told Kayla she was wrong from the beginning and stood with Kendall, but instead she kept saying “just see where this goes” like this was some cute romance instead of straight-up cheating. Yes, there’s backstory, but they were still wrong, and they refused to act like adults about it.
I’ve read another book in this series and really enjoyed it, so it’s not the author — it’s just this story. It felt like it wanted to be “twisted,” but it didn’t land for me. Teacher–student in the other book was messy but they were both adults and single — still questionable, but at least no one was betraying family.
Here, it’s your sister’s husband. Your sister, who you already have issues with, is snowed in somewhere thinking everything is fine, meanwhile you’re at home laid up with her husband. And Kayla acted so innocent and whiny like she wasn’t part of the problem. She was the stereotype youngest sibling: spoiled and bratty, when her loyalty should’ve been to her sister first. (I’m not speaking bad on the youngest sibling I’m one myself. So I’m just saying)
Yes, Beau is the father of her child, and yes, I get the lingering attachment — but that still doesn’t make it okay. She should’ve communicated from the start instead of hiding and then doubling down. And the mom practically condoned it, which explains perfectly why Kendall keeps her distance.
Cheating is not okay — that’s just my opinion — so read it if you want, but I don’t think I’ll ever willingly pick up another brother-in-law/sister-in-law romance again. I didn’t even realize that’s what this was until I was already halfway through.

Confused

I almost skipped this bc I don’t like to read things with the main characters cheating but I read it anyway. I’m not really a fan tho bc I have so many unanswered questions. I feel like this storyline needed to be longer to really flesh out the plot points.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

My gripes?
• I’m horrified by the chocolate use bc it had yeast infection written all over it. Food on the outside is ok but inside?! That��s a big no from me.
• What kind of convention did he speak at? Based on the conversation I’m assuming her sister is a real estate agent but he also said she wouldn’t have had any reason to be there. What is his job? Why was he alluding to her becoming his assistant?
• the sister is fighting the divorce?! They were married a month. She technically committed marital fraud when entering the union so it’s grounds for an annulment.
• And lastly, NO PROTECTION! Um she may have been celibate since him but he obviously has not! She was only concerned about pregnancy. Just grossed me out.

The spice? There was a lot of it (like almost the whole book) but it was just ok imo.

The storyline? Eh. I still don’t like the cheating trope.

✨ HOLIDAY HOOKUP GONE SO WRONG (…OR RIGHT?) ✨ Kayla thought her festive little fling was just that — a one-weekend, mistletoe-and-margarita moment. Then came the surprise pregnancy… and the impossible search for the mystery dad, because yeah, they gave each other fake names like two spies with zero follow-through.

Fast-forward to the family cabin: Kayla, her mom, and her son are settling in, waiting for her estranged sister and the husband she didn’t even invite them to see her marry.
And then — BAM — plot twist from hell: her sister’s husband walks in and he’s the holiday hookup. The father. The man. The myth. The yuletide mistake.

Listen… I’ve learned to expect a certain level of delicious chaos from these dirty novellas, and this one DELIVERS. Drama? Overflowing. Filth? Toe-curling. (Said with love and respect.) It’s quick, it’s naughty, it’s messy in all the right ways, and it will leave you feral for the next novella.

🎄🔥 THE PERFECT FILTHY HOLIDAY NOVELLA.

This read was truly a “delightful surprise”! At less than 100 pages, this novella was still packed with the spice, the drama, and a love connection! Not to mention, an unbelievable plot twist!

For those who may be scared of the cheating trope (don’t worry, I was too) just trust me when I say you’re going to want to read this!

Brooke never fails when it comes to writing 5 star reads, and this is no exception. I mean, come on, who doesn’t love a classic snowed in at Christmas story. This is the perfect holiday read to tie up your year and to reach your reading goals!

Okay, this was a quick, fast-paced, smutty forbidden surprise! I usually avoid the cheating trope, but boy, this novella made me wish it was longer lol.

If you are looking for something to take you out of your slump with holidays mixed in. Definitely give this one a go! 🙌🏼

3.5 Stars.

Spoilers below!

I really wanted to like this story but the writing felt stilted compared to other books by this author that I throughly enjoyed. Combine that with a cheating trope and it was a hard sell. Still an okay book but definitely not even close to my favorite by this author. I’d say it’s a 3 *maybe* a 3.5 star. I went ahead and round up to the 3.5 because I’m biased towards cheating stories in general.

10/10 no notes. A smutty good time.

Ho, Ho, Ho…someone’s been naughty! The PERFECT filthy holiday novella from none other than the novella queen herself.

Kayla ends up pregnant after a one-night-stand, and unfortunately they both gave fake names, so she cannot get in touch with him. Fast forward. Now she’s a single mom just trying to get through Christmas, a stay in their family cabin, and a sister that has it out for her. Her sister has been a problem for her, always feeling like she is living in Kayla’s shadow. She finally finds her ONS….but there’s a complication. A little [read: big] one.

There’s something I’ve come to expect from these dirty novellas, and this one is no exception. Filled with drama and toe curling filth (said in the best way possible), it’s a short, naughty read that will leave you aching for more. A read you can devour in one sitting (1-2 hours) and perfect for the holiday season.

I received a gifted ARC copy of this book.

Another amazing novella by B. This one is a snowed in reunion that no one had coming, especially our FMC. Kayla (the FMC) has a one night stand during vacation in Costa Rica where she meets a handsome traveler. That one night stand lands her pregnant and raising a child alone since they never exchanged numbers. Come present time and its Christmas and Kayla is staying her family cabin with her mom and her sister will be joining them with her new husband.

Kayla has an strangle relationship with her sister and was not invited to the wedding, making this whole situation even more awkward as someone they have never meet is staying with them. As the sister arrives, mom needs something from the store and they take the toddler with them while Kayla stays behind to see about the baking goods that is already in the oven. As a car pulls in, Kayla goes to check and lo and behold, the sister's husband is the guy she had a one night stand 3 years ago.

What happens when these two get finally get a second chance at seeing each other? A steamy novella waiting for you to dig in. Overall, its a very quick read and one to add to your holiday list.

I didnt click the spoiler button but i may have given away some information. Nothing I wouldn’t have put on a trope post but if you don’t wanna see them I wouldn’t read this. Some people like to go in blind and thats ok. But I do recommend this novella.


Yall better buckle up for this ride because it is a rollercoaster. Lol family drama, a girls first hater, an adorable little boy and his grandma, some primal play, snowed in, and lots of spice. In the span of one christmas weekend! It goes fast but with Brooklyn’s writing nothing is missed. How she does it I will always be in awe. If you haven’t read her books before smex is always part of the plot. In some books it is the plot. Lol so be ready. No closed doors here. We kicked them down and shredded them like in monsters inc. lmao.

This was an arc and I’m leaving my true thoughts on this book.

🎄🎄ARC BOOK REVIEW🎄🎄

Delightful Surprises by B. Sobjakken is a 🌶️🌶️🌶️Christmas novella. This novella delivers drama, romance, and a surprising plot twist.

Kayla and Beau star in this Christmas novella. Kayla arrives at her family's cabin with her mother and son (from a one-night stand), awaiting her estranged sister and her husband, Beau, whom she's never met. Kayla was not invited to her sister's wedding. To Kayla’s surprise, Beau is the man from her one-night stand hookup and her son’s father. 😮

Kayla and Beau are left alone at the cabin after Kayla’s sister and mom get stuck in town due to bad weather. Beau makes it clear his interest is not in Kayla’s sister. 😮🌶️😮

Quick read….does not disappoint….

This was such a fun read! I have been in love with this series from the very beginning, and I am going to miss these little short novellas!

Secret baby
One night stand
Sister's husband
Br33ding k!nk
Forced proximity

Kayla and Beau had one hot and heavy night together, that ended in a pregnancy. Kayla never knew her one night stands real name or any information, so she doesn't come in contact with him again. When her sister's husband walks in the door for Christmas, and he is low and behold the father of her child, unbeknownst to him.

This one was short, spicy, and full of alllll the breeding k!nk! I loved these two, along with their son Theo.

Kayla + Beau

Kayla has an anonymous vacation fling which resulted in a surprise baby, Theo. 3 years later, her sister brings her new husband to meet the family and it turns out to be the anonymous lover.

The story holds your attention at the very start. With it only being 75 pages, it’s packed with meaningful plot, good drama and spice. I was surprised it had as little spice as it did. This was the perfect ratio of spice to plot. Loved the small plot twist too.

Fantastic holiday read.

Tropes:
- 🎁 snowed in
- 🎄cheating
- 🎁 Secret baby
- 🎄food play & inappropriate use of Xmas lights
- 🎁 Breeding

"Want to know something that would put me on the naughty list?"

If you have been around here for any length of time, you know that I adore B. Sobjakken’s books. The Immoral Starts series has been, well, deliciously immoral. This story had so much more depth than I was expecting for one of her novellas. It was the perfect Christmas novella, with a touch of forbidden. Please go read it. Perfect way to sneak in a quick read before the end of the year.

This quote really stuck out to me too, I had to add it in as a bonus quote. “We all are living life for the first time; we’re going to make mistakes and they’re not going to be glamorous.”

Thank you B. Sobjakken for the advance reader copy.

This novella leans hard into deliciously messy holiday drama, and it works. A chance Christmas reunion turns into a jaw-dropping revelation when an old flame returns.

This is filled with forbidden tension. What starts as a missed connection turns into a morally complicated, emotionally charged second chance that’s impossible to look away from.

The winter setting does a lot of heavy lifting here, with a conveniently timed snowstorm trapping the leads together and forcing unresolved feelings to thaw fast.

Short and steamy, this is the kind of taboo holiday read you fly through in one sitting. This story knows exactly what it is, and doesn’t hold back.😉

This is Beau and Kayla's story and it's so good! Accidentally pregnancy, forbidden love, and sister's husband are some of the delicious tropes. This is a really spicy novella and I'm always down for a messy love story. Kayla and Beau had a thing three years ago and she finds out she's pregnant only after they separate. She doesn't know how to contact him so imagine her surprise when she sees him three years later as her sister's husband. This has all you want n a fast paced novella, the spice, forced proximity and the attraction that never went away. I definitely recommend reading this book!

Oh messy! Learning your sister husband is actually the father of your child and your sister held that information from you for years just to feel she won a game against her sister, Kayla is just plain messy. Kayla was wrong for sleeping with her baby daddy because he was married to her sister but Kendall was also wrong for preventing Breu from learning about his son.
I understand Breu. I wouldn’t want to be married to anyone who did that. His decision to be with Kayla was settled way before he found out. He knew nothing would stop him from his love this time. I enjoyed reading this book because it wasn’t me. I could just enjoy it. lol
