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)
Beau arrives at the Christmas cabin and finds way more than just a present under the tree….
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.
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.

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.”

I really fucking hate a celibate h and a non-celibate H in second chance romances. Also really hate the “ it’s always been you” trope, but clearly wasn’t waiting or celibate for the person they’ve always wanted apparently. In my opinion and she gave in way too easily to him. Like he FUCKED your sister!!!! Are you not upset because I know damn well I would be in no matter the situation.
I’m honestly really fucking mad for the FMC like Dude while you were home raising a child and were celibate he was out fucking and marrying your sister. yeah OK I guess he technically looked for you and didn’t know you had a child but my opinion he didn’t look fucking hard enough.
Also absolutely HATE the sister!!!! She’s a cunt ass bitch!!!
The only thing I liked in this was a dirty talk. It was hot
Notes: I swear I think authors think that single moms don’t have sex lives. P.S They do!!!
🚨Spoiler🚨
The sister apparently knew who the MMC was when she married him.

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 !

Delightful Surprises was short, sweet and smutty. I laughed uncomfortably at the ridiculous plot and enjoyed the journey to HEA. I feel kinda bad for the bitchy older sister, even if she was a sinister sister.

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.

Spicy christmas novella that was pure smut! I always love reading B Sobjakken.

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!

Again, the cheating trope is a bit of an ick for me but I still didn't DNF knowing there was another twist in that they were manipulated apart by the FMC's sister in the first place. As a short novella it packs in family, spice and drama all at Christmas without being tacky. It's still a good read and fits the series well.

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.

2 STARS—IT WAS OKAY.
On vacation in the Caribbean over Christmas, Kayla has a weekend-long anonymous hook-up under assumed names with a hot guy. When she comes home, she finds out she's pregnant. She tries to find him and fails. She has a son, Theo, whom she adores. When Theo is three years old, Kayla drives up to the family cabin to spend Christmas with her mom and her estranged sister, Kendall. Growing up, things came easily to Kayla, whereas Kendall struggled, and their father made it worse, negatively comparing them. It instilled an unhealthy competitiveness in the sisters that they never managed to resolve, even in adulthood, even years after their father's death. This Christmas Kendall is bringing her new husband, whom the family hasn't even met before. Kendall arrives first on her own, and she, her mother, and little Theo head down the mountain to the grocery store. It starts snowing, and Kendall's husband, Beau, shows up at the cabin. Kayla and he instantly recognize each other: he's the guy from the Caribbean hook-up. They're both stunned, and pretty immediately Beau tells her he looked everywhere for her and didn't date for two years because he was so hung up on her. Beau finally admits to himself that he never really loved Kendall and was just filling a void. Then Kayla tells him they have a son. That's it for Beau: he wants Kayla, and he wants his son, and he wants another baby. They immediately start kissing, which leads to sex. They're sort of stunned by their behavior, and the whole overwhelming situation, when they get a call from Kayla's mom, saying the road to the cabin is closed because of the blizzard, so the three of them are staying the night down at the ski lodge. Naturally this gives Beau and Kayla time to process the shock . . . and fuck a lot. Their connection is intense, and Beau tells her she's who he wants. The blizzard keeps them alone a second night, but the next day, while they're naked in front of the fireplace, Kendall walks in on them and starts shrieking bloody murder. The mom covers Theo's eyes and rushes him off to his room where she puts headphones on him and distracts him with a movie. Kendall is understandably furious, but when she shouts at Kayla in a rage that it's unfair, he's hers, she WON, certain discrepancies start to fall into place for Beau: He pieces together that Kendall knew all along that he was Kayla's Caribbean hook-up and Theo's father. She kept that from him and seduced him to feel superior to her sister. Kayla still feels shitty for cheating with her brother-in-law, but she recognizes that the far more important thing is letting Beau be with his son and Kendall's crime was far, far worse than anything they'd done; it's clear everyone that if Kendall hadn't kept them apart, Kayla and Beau would have definitely wound up together. Kayla introduces Theo to his dad, and Theo's shy about it, but Beau is so excited to have a family. In the epilogue it's six months later, it's clear that Kayla and Kendall have cut each other off. Beau is in the process of divorcing her, but she's creating problems. Beau bought a house down the street from their mom, and he asked Kayla and Theo to move in with him. They've all bonded as a family, and Kayla is pregnant with their second child. In the second epilogue, Kayla's all but ready to give birth, and she and Beau have hot sex one night while Theo's staying over at gramma's house. Kayla and Beau talk about how they want to keep growing their family.
It was fine, but it wasn't that interesting. It's a super fun concept, and I tingled with shock and oh-no-she-di'in't when Beau showed up and they realized he was Vacation Guy. But while I wouldn't say the story beats were unrealistic (I can totally buy their immediately feeling the connection again and the finding-your-lost-love might be enough for even a decent person to do a shitty thing like cheat on his wife and jump into a new relationship before he'd done the honorable thing and divorced the sister), but everything felt sort of smooth and bland. Except for that one moment of frisson, it was mostly boring. Even the sex was boring to me.
So, I'm not mad at the book, and maybe another reader on another day would say it totally hits the right notes for them. But for me, it was merely meh.
On vacation in the Caribbean over Christmas, Kayla has a weekend-long anonymous hook-up under assumed names with a hot guy. When she comes home, she finds out she's pregnant. She tries to find him and fails. She has a son, Theo, whom she adores. When Theo is three years old, Kayla drives up to the family cabin to spend Christmas with her mom and her estranged sister, Kendall. Growing up, things came easily to Kayla, whereas Kendall struggled, and their father made it worse, negatively comparing them. It instilled an unhealthy competitiveness in the sisters that they never managed to resolve, even in adulthood, even years after their father's death. This Christmas Kendall is bringing her new husband, whom the family hasn't even met before. Kendall arrives first on her own, and she, her mother, and little Theo head down the mountain to the grocery store. It starts snowing, and Kendall's husband, Beau, shows up at the cabin. Kayla and he instantly recognize each other: he's the guy from the Caribbean hook-up. They're both stunned, and pretty immediately Beau tells her he looked everywhere for her and didn't date for two years because he was so hung up on her. Beau finally admits to himself that he never really loved Kendall and was just filling a void. Then Kayla tells him they have a son. That's it for Beau: he wants Kayla, and he wants his son, and he wants another baby. They immediately start kissing, which leads to sex. They're sort of stunned by their behavior, and the whole overwhelming situation, when they get a call from Kayla's mom, saying the road to the cabin is closed because of the blizzard, so the three of them are staying the night down at the ski lodge. Naturally this gives Beau and Kayla time to process the shock . . . and fuck a lot. Their connection is intense, and Beau tells her she's who he wants. The blizzard keeps them alone a second night, but the next day, while they're naked in front of the fireplace, Kendall walks in on them and starts shrieking bloody murder. The mom covers Theo's eyes and rushes him off to his room where she puts headphones on him and distracts him with a movie. Kendall is understandably furious, but when she shouts at Kayla in a rage that it's unfair, he's hers, she WON, certain discrepancies start to fall into place for Beau: He pieces together that Kendall knew all along that he was Kayla's Caribbean hook-up and Theo's father. She kept that from him and seduced him to feel superior to her sister. Kayla still feels shitty for cheating with her brother-in-law, but she recognizes that the far more important thing is letting Beau be with his son and Kendall's crime was far, far worse than anything they'd done; it's clear everyone that if Kendall hadn't kept them apart, Kayla and Beau would have definitely wound up together. Kayla introduces Theo to his dad, and Theo's shy about it, but Beau is so excited to have a family. In the epilogue it's six months later, it's clear that Kayla and Kendall have cut each other off. Beau is in the process of divorcing her, but she's creating problems. Beau bought a house down the street from their mom, and he asked Kayla and Theo to move in with him.

🎄Brother-in-Law
🎄Secret Baby
🎄Inappropriate Use of Xmas Lights
🎄Brëëding
⚠️Cheating
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.

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
