Meh!!!! I didn’t feel any chemistry between this two at all(chemistry is subjective so maybe it’s just me). I also found the mystery side of the story a little ridiculous and usually how these type of stories are resolved either make or break the story for me and this resolution…broke it! Sigh.

January 16, 2026Okay, I haven't read this book. So this is not a review, but I read a couple reviews that said that the mmc married the fmc's mom So he can prove a point in court against his ex-wife that's accusing him of being a predator and a pervert.
so marrying another woman with a teenage daughter would give him a solid case in court of being a dotting father. EXCEPT he develops feelings for her daughter and pursues her ?😂😂😂 that's actually hilarious.
at least there was nothing between him and the mom lol
and so i guess the 18 year old fmc is gonna be his minor kids's step mom? his daughter who's only a couple years younger than her? or his eldest son who's older than her ?😂😂😂😂 i'm having a field day with the sheer ridiculousness of this book

I hated this so much that I don’t even want to write a review.
Owen (38-ish) is divorced but his wife wants custody of their kids. She says he’s a danger to them since he has a sleep disorder and walks around at night. His doctor wants someone to help her get an apartment or something. He agrees to marry her as a benefit to both of them, in name only.
Her daughter Mei (18, virgin) comes to live with them. He takes her V. They get a HFN.
I think I was pissed because of all the time and details put into the backstory of him and his wives and their issues instead of focusing on him and Mei as a couple? IDK. I just know that I hated it.

WOAHHHH....
I've said this before, I'm a sucker for age-gap romances. So, here I'm again screaming, crying throwing up for an age-gap romance.
This book was so good, I fucking cried!!
Owen and Mei's story did not feel rushed.
Guys, just read it if you're like me 😔

✨My Review ✨
I’ve been in the longest book rut of my life and absolutely devoured this book. Storyline gave very telenovela drama and I loved it!
Haven’t loved a K Webster book like this since Hale!
My only critique is I would’ve preferred the heroine be older tbh. Not a fan of the teen girl grown man trope.

When it comes to age-gap taboo, K Webster is the author I am going to turn to first. That’s been the case for almost a decade, and I don’t see that changing any time soon. That being said, sometimes, she doesn’t quite hit the “edgy” mark that I have come to expect from her with her “taboo treats”. This is one of those times. The story was … plain? UGH, I don’t know what word to use but it didn’t have that edgy spark that she normally delivers. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed this and it was well written for a fast-paced-insta story, but … *sigh*
It's been a minute since I’ve read any story by Kristi and maybe this is how she writes her “treats” now. I don’t know, but even if she has “grown”, the title along for this story “screams” edgy and it just wasn’t there.
So, on to the next “treat” and see how that goes!

Actual rating: 3,5 stars.
Let see what I need to get out of my chess first. The premises of this book were really good and intrigued me so much. Feeling for stepfather definitely a taboo theme. Adding huge age gap (I assumed) since the FMC was only 18, another point plus in taboo side of the story. But this book missed all those details, I didn't know how old Owen (the MMC) was. Either I didn't catch it or I just entirely skip the part where Owen told his age. Owen and Mei (the heroine) chemistry was also not good at all. For me, they didn't even have any sizzling lust. They just suddenly kissed and had sex and loved each other. I normally fine with instalove, but in this book, the instalove was not well delivered. The plot twists were also weird. So messy and chaotic. The ending was also anticlimactic. What I disappointed a lot was there was no explanations on how Owen's three kids (which almost the same age with Mei) reacted on Mei being Owen's partner. Like I said, the story was so freaking messy. I understand that this is novella and the author might want to keep everything light, but this book left me unsatisfied with almost everything.
Thank you to K. Webster and Chaotic Creatives for the ARC.

★☆☆☆☆ hard no.
I was initially willing to squint past the sleepwalking angle of Owen in this book. Then I read Room for Three , and the blinders came off. Owen doesn’t deserve sympathy arcs or romantic framing. He deserves consequences. Jail feels like the bare minimum.
Disorder doesn’t excuse behavior. Ever. Especially not when the response is manipulation and quiet threats instead of accountability and safety. The emotional coercion to keep her silent. The aftermath is the crime scene. The whispers. The “don’t tell or you’ll ruin my life.” The way authority is used like a chokehold without leaving marks.
For my justification i'll just put this here from Savvy's book:
“There was only one time that really scared me,” she whispers. “I’d gone to the bathroom in the middle of the night. When I returned, he was in my bed. Naked.”
He grabbed me like this.” Her hand slides off the pillow and up my chest. When it encircles my throat, I see red. “I think he was worried I’d tell on him or something. It wasn’t painful, but it was a firm grip that made me gasp for air. He said that it was an accident but if anyone found out, it would ruin his life and tear apart his family.” She sniffles.
“He was so close it was rubbing against my leg. While he whispered how much it would harm him for others to know, I was worried he’d do something worse. But then, as quickly as it began, he released my neck, kissed my forehead, and then left the bedroom.” Owen flashes me one of his signature grins that used to warm me until I realized his nighttime problem. Until he rubbed his cock on me while in a sleepy trance. Now he makes my skin crawl.
This one is after Savvy left the family and Owen and his family came to the diner where she was working:
Owen steps behind me as I’m taking an order, placing his hand on my lower back. He whispers in my ear. “You’re doing great, Savvy. I paid cash. The leftover amount is your tip. Have fun, dear.”
I squeak when he pats my ass and then walks away.

🌶️🌶️.5
His Wife's Daughter was a quick and surprisingly sweet, taboo romance. I was hooked from the start and finished this novella in one sitting.
Owen is dealing with his psychotic ex-wife trying to take him to court for custody of their kids. She is trying to defame his character, using his sleepwalking condition, saying he cannot provide a safe environment for their children. His sleep therapist offers a marriage of convenience because she also needs his help financially.
Her 18 year old daughter is shocked to learn of the marriage when she comes home from visiting her father. Owen feels for her situation and just wants to make her feel at home with his family. He tries to offer more support and attention because her mother his very distant. The more time they spend together, the more he gets attached emotionally and physically.
I could really feel their connection and chemistry, even though this is a short story. I loved how they both supported each other. There were some really sweet moments.
I docked half a star because I just thought the whole way this marriage of convenience happened felt so unlikely and it was a weird/abrupt conversation when they decided to do this. I also thought there would have been a little fallout when the stepdaughter/stepfather relationship was revealed and everyone was just fine with it.
Still enjoyed this and I am definitely interested to read his oldest son's book.

***3 "What is wrong with me???" stars***
"I'm attracted to my stepfather...
What is wrong with me?"
I adore K. Webster's stories, and I was intrigued by the idea of a stepfather-stepdaughter romance!!!
It was a nice read... a little bit more sweeter than I had expected and from time to time, it felt kind of unrealistic!!!
Yep, this was a small treat and it was delicious, but at the same time, it wasn't something special that i won't stop thinking about when I will finish it!!!
Owen had made a marriage of convinience with Mei's mother, who was kind of a bitch!!!
Mei got enamored with Owen from the very first moment and their story, at least to me, didn't feel so taboo-ish... It felt kind of natural!!!! So I wasn't very impressed, as with many other stories by Kristy!!!
Still, I had a lovely evening reading this small story!!! A small treat indeed!!!

this book was pretty entertaining even though it was kind of odd
(who am I kidding this is lowkey right up my alley)
like clearly I know what I signed up for and despite it being an age gap/ step romance some stuff threw me off a bit.
likeeeeee the insta attraction actually would’ve worked for a book like this, but I feel like it kinda wasn’t as entertaining as it potentially could’ve been since jin and owen weren’t into each other at all.
so in other words I expected it to be messier but it was almost a little too simple 😅.
another thing wassss..
i don’t ever remember hearing his age.
figuring out the other mystery aspects of the story were kinda interesting. then we got a little deeper into the story and at a point it was too many side plots for me. especially since it wasn’t a shocker that penny was christopher’s daughter.
but anyways happy family or whatever now
3/5
quick read, slumps over :)
lowkey still don’t like mei’s mom

In the midst of a bitter divorce, Owen Monahan is desparate to put an end to his ex wife's harassment and enters into an arrangment with his doctor, Dr. Jin Lau. However, Owen didn't expect the complications when meeting Jin's daughter, Mei.
This novella is quick paced and feels like a complete story. Given what occurs between Owen and Mei, there was also an interesting subplot involving Jin. His Wife's Daughter may appeal to those seeking an age-gap romance with taboo elements.

This was a quick and cute read. I’m 50/50 on it because while it was very loving and sweet what Mei and Owen had, Mei pissed me off a lot of the book questioning why Owen was so hot and cold with her as if it wasn’t a big deal that he wasn’t only her step father aka mothers husband, but also way older than her🙃.

As always another home run from this author. I absolutely tore this book up today. I loved Owen and Mei. I have been on a dark romance kick and this was a nice change, reading about a stand up good man with morals. I didnt think it was possible for me to come around to liking Iin but I DID! Great story now cant wait for Rhett’s!!!

K Webster wrote it….
So it’s a 5 star read. She’s never written anything I haven’t loved. Just out here reading whatever she releases while waiting for more books related to The Wild to be released. So keep ‘em coming while I leave 5 stars leading to my Roman Empire.

Review of advance copy received from Author
His Wife's Daughter by K. Webster
4.5/5 stars
Oh yes, I am on a K. Webster roll. Sorry people, I am just devouring her books!
His Wife's Daughter really took me by surprise. In all honesty I suspected a filthy, smutty story but Kristi gave us so much more. It's still a relative short story, but I really liked how it was set up and how the story and characters were built and progressed throughout the entire book.
Owen is in court facing his ex-wife who is out to destroy him. They share 3 kids together and 2 are still minors. She is set out to set him up for doing improper things with his daughter but luckily the judge isn't stupid and is very fair. Right after court he goes to Dr. Jin Lau, he has severe sleeping(sleep-walking) problems, and together they are trying to combat those with medications.
The second he joins her he notices something is off about Jin Lau and suddenly she opens up about having financial problems and he opens up about his troubles with his ex-wife. She suddenly proposes a fake marriage so he can present a solid front to the judge that he isn't some sick predator and she gets the financial backing she needs to save the house of the woman that babysits her daughter. He agrees and they get married the same day.
Lin and her daughters move in with Owen and his three kids. But Mei, Lin's oldest, is getting completely blindsided by her mother and is shocked she got married. Her mother and father always treated her with distance and were rather absent. They love her, but then don't express it. Suddenly she has to share a room with Addison, Owen's daughter, and she cannot help but admire her new stepfather from afar.
Owen sees Mei's broken heart and he instantly opens up to her and wants to be there for her. He gives her hugs and supports her. But right from the get go sweet Owen feels disgusted that he feels more for her. And as she helps him several times when he sleepwalks they grow infinitely close. He even steps up being there for her little sister.
Their psychological connection is what truly pushed this story forwards. Owen never knew love and both his marriages were love-less. And all he craves is for someone to truly love. Mei hasn't felt love all her life so naturally they gravitate towards each other. They take care of each other and are each other's support system. But their connection burns way too bright and when something happens they cannot help by giving in to each other.
And goodness gracious this story scorched me! Owen and Mei are pure fire and they combust into one tight, unbreakable unit. Ready to go through hell for one another.
The entire family also has to deal with a nasty stalker. And Jin Lau's love life bursts out of the shadows and suddenly everything changes.
I normally would give this book 5 stars. But entire, and for me very important parts, are skipped over in the end. Their relationship is a secret and poof the next chapter it's out in the open and everyone is one big happy family. I really wanted to see the reaction of Jin to her husband and daughter suddenly dating. Or how Owen's children reacted to their father loving a girl near their age. Yes she is 18. But it's still a huge age gap and normally a few brows would get raised. So I really missed some insight and depth into that part of the story. So that's why I am giving it 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Still another gem by K. Webster that I'll absolutely reread in the future. ♥
4.5/5 stars
Oh yes, I am on a K. Webster roll. Sorry people, I am just devouring her books!
His Wife's Daughter really took me by surprise. In all honesty I suspected a filthy, smutty story but Kristi gave us so much more. It's still a relative short story, but I really liked how it was set up and how the story and characters were built and progressed throughout the entire book.
Owen is in court facing his ex-wife who is out to destroy him. They share 3 kids together and 2 are still minors. She is set out to set him up for doing improper things with his daughter but luckily the judge isn't stupid and is very fair. Right after court he goes to Dr. Jin Lau, he has severe sleeping(sleep-walking) problems, and together they are trying to combat those with medications.
The second he joins her he notices something is off about Jin Lau and suddenly she opens up about having financial problems and he opens up about his troubles with his ex-wife. She suddenly proposes a fake marriage so he can present a solid front to the judge that he isn't some sick predator and she gets the financial backing she needs to save the house of the woman that babysits her daughter. He agrees and they get married the same day.
Lin and her daughters move in with Owen and his three kids. But Mei, Lin's oldest, is getting completely blindsided by her mother and is shocked she got married. Her mother and father always treated her with distance and were rather absent. They love her, but then don't express it. Suddenly she has to share a room with Addison, Owen's daughter, and she cannot help but admire her new stepfather from afar.
Owen sees Mei's broken heart and he instantly opens up to her and wants to be there for her. He gives her hugs and supports her. But right from the get go sweet Owen feels disgusted that he feels more for her. And as she helps him several times when he sleepwalks they grow infinitely close. He even steps up being there for her little sister.
Their psychological connection is what truly pushed this story forwards. Owen never knew love and both his marriages were love-less. And all he craves is for someone to truly love. Mei hasn't felt love all her life so naturally they gravitate towards each other. They take care of each other and are each other's support system. But their connection burns way too bright and when something happens they cannot help by giving in to each other.
And goodness gracious this story scorched me! Owen and Mei are pure fire and they combust into one tight, unbreakable unit. Ready to go through hell for one another.
The entire family also has to deal with a nasty stalker. And Jin Lau's love life bursts out of the shadows and suddenly everything changes.
I normally would give this book 5 stars. But entire, and for me very important parts, are skipped over in the end. Their relationship is a secret and poof the next chapter it's out in the open and everyone is one big happy family. I really wanted to see the reaction of Jin to her husband and daughter suddenly dating. Or how Owen's children reacted to their father loving a girl near their age. Yes she is 18. But it's still a huge age gap and normally a few brows would get raised. So I really missed some insight and depth into that part of the story. So that's why I am giving it 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Still another gem by K. Webster that I'll absolutely reread in the future. ♥

This book surprised. I went in expecting something purely taboo and provocative (which K Webster is so good at), but His Wife’s Daughter turned out to be far more emotionally layered and character driven than I anticipated. Yes, it is forbidden and intense (and some might find the relationship dynamic not to their taste), but at its core, it is a story about loneliness, longing, and two people finding something they have never truly had before. Unconditional love.
Owen is in the middle of a brutal divorce, battling a sleepwalking disorder that worsens under stress, and fighting to protect his reputation and his children from a vindictive ex wife. When his doctor, Jin Lau, proposes a marriage of convenience to help both of their situations, it feels like a practical, temporary solution. A marriage on paper, shared space for appearances, nothing more. Of course, nothing about it stays simple.
Jin’s daughter, Mei, is blindsided by the sudden marriage and the instant blending of families. She has grown up emotionally neglected, used to being alone and quietly responsible for her younger sister. Mei is introspective, guarded, and achingly lonely, and her struggle to find her place in this new household is heartbreaking. While Owen’s family is warm and close knit, Mei feels like an outsider, unsure where she belongs.
Owen, for his part, is gentle, nurturing, and instinctively protective. He sees Mei’s pain immediately and becomes a steady presence for her, offering comfort in ways no one ever has. Their bond deepens through quiet moments and shared vulnerability, especially when Mei is the one guiding Owen to safety during his sleepwalking episodes. The emotional connection between them develops long before anything physical, and that emotional intimacy is what truly drives the story.
This is not just a forbidden romance for shock value. Though it certainly is salaicious too. It is about two people who have lived without real love finally recognizing it in each other. Their connection feels intense because it fills a void neither of them knew how to name. When they do cross the line, the chemistry is explosive and deeply consuming, but it is rooted in emotional need as much as desire. But the lusty deliciousness is there too.
There are additional layers of tension with a stalking subplot and unresolved threads in Jin’s personal life, which keep the story moving and raise the stakes. While the book is relatively short, the pacing works well for most of the narrative. Though I think it could have benefitted from more length to the develop the characters individually a bit more and to make the ending and relationship progression feel more substantive, to let us saturate in it a bit more. Significant emotional fallout is glossed over too quickly in the ending. I wanted to see the reactions, the confrontation, and the discomfort that would naturally come with such a relationship being revealed. It's kind of a trope expectation for a story like this, where a lot of the "meat" comes into play and makes it feel more HEA vs. HFN. Those moments felt important, and skipping them took away some of the depth and realism the story had built so well.
Even with that shortcoming, this was a sexy and also emotionally charged read that is a quick binge. His Wife’s Daughter is provocative and unexpectedly tender, and it showcases K. Webster’s ability to turn taboo into something deeply human.

This was such a sweet taboo read. Mei and Owen are really obsessed with each other but not in a dark possessive way, more of an old romance at heart kind of way. Owen was always respectful… until he wasn’t 😏😉 Mei, as timid as she seemed, went after and pushed Owen for wha she wanted.
**Spoilers⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
Owen is still fight his ex-wife Leah in court for marital assets. They are divorced and had pre-nups in place, but Leah is conniving and hateful wanting to get the house (it was earned by his business during their marriage and the pre-nup said he could keep it). And even though she doesn’t care either way, she wants the kids away from him because he wants them. They have 3, Rhett is the oldest and 21, Addison is 16 and Cason is 15. Leah also tries to use his sleep walking against him and cause him of being a p3do because he wakes up in random places. (He has woken up in their daughter’s room and one of the foster kids’ room, but NOTHING happened).
The judge dismisses Leah’s case and Owen goes to his sleep doctor appointment with Dr. Jin Lau. Jin proposes they get married out of convenience- he needs stable relationship to confirm he isn’t a hazard to his kids (because of his sleep walking) and she needs more income to secure a loan for her babysitter, Carol’s house. Jin has 2 daughters, Mei (18) and Penny (2). They both agree, just for show and keep separate rooms.
Mei comes home after 2 weeks spending time with her father to her mother being married and moved in with Owen and his family. Mei feels left out or like the third wheel. She is very close with Penny (Jin isn’t an emotional mother and although she loves her daughters, she is distant). Addison has become close with Penny and Mei feels replaced.
Owen tries to make Mei feel welcome. Trying to include Mei in everything. When he sleepwalks, Mei tries to help him back to bed.
They grown an attraction to each other and one night they cross the line, heavily making out. It gets interrupted and Owen tells her it was a mistake. Mei understands but is also upset. Mei begins to suspect Jin is lying about something because she is being sneaky. Mei overhears a phone call with Jin. She tells the other person they can’t be together in public and have to be careful. Christopher, Carol the babysitter’s son - who is a cop, seems awfully close and protective of Penny.
Leah has a PI (who is a jerk and crosses the line a lot) follow Mei, Jin and Penny.
Owen sits Jin down and she finally confesses Christopher is Penny’s father but as he is running for sheriff, it would be a scandal. He and Jin had a one night stand, even though she knew he was married. She got pregnant and after Penny arrived, Christopher divorced his wife. But all would know he was a cheater if he got with Jin after they did the math.
Owen and Mei finally say F it and give in.
Owen goes to court to fight Leah one last time. The judge orders Leah to knock it off.
They get married and Mei has a baby. Everyone is happy.

Wow!! Did I feel ALL the things for both Mei and Owen.
Owen is caught in the midst of a terrible divorce, he suffers with a condition that causes him to sleepwalk and stress only exacerbates it. Dr. Jin Lau is treating him for his sleepwalking and it's at his appointment where she proposes that they could benefit one another out of their perspective binds. It's a quick solution for both of them if they were married, on paper only, but for optics they would still need to provide a united front, hence, living under the same roof. It's a win-win and Owen soon finds himself married again.
Jin's daughter, Mei, only finds out about this quicky wedding, along with her new step-siblings when she returns from visiting her father. Mei has never had a close bond with her mom and the lonely, abandonment feelings roll off this girl in huge waves. It killed me how alone Mei was, and it wasn't because those around her weren't making an effort. It was just the life she was used to living under her mother's roof. While Owen's family is tight, warm and welcoming, it was hard for her to find her new place, except for the strong pull she felt towards her mom's husband. A pull she tried her best to ignore, at first. While she would have logically had more in common with Owen's oldest son, who was the same age and also attending college, Mei was just an old soul, and most likely due to spending so much time alone. Boy could I relate to her. She also spent a lot of time parenting her baby sister who was only two years old. The age difference between siblings was also another relatable aspect I connected with. Mei just hit me on a lot of levels.
As for Owen, he's a huge cinnamon roll, with major vibes of wanting to take care of everyone he comes into contact with. So while Owen knows it's wrong to desire the young woman, especially since she has her entire life ahead of her, Mei didn't make it easy on him. When Owen awakens from sleepwalking, either outside or right on the cusp of heading into the snowy weather, she's right by his side, trying to guide him back to safety. Mei's sweet smiles ignite a burning inside of him that he hasn't felt for years. Owen really does try to ignore those burning desires, but it doesn't take long for these two to ignite the flames of passion.
This story is so much more than just forbidden. It's two souls finally finding the right person, after suffering heartache and loneliness. I also loved how past taboo characters popped up as the story went along and I can't wait to see where this world takes me next.

Review of advance copy received from Author
His Wife’s Daughter by K. Webster is a sexy taboo romance between Owen Monahan and Mei Lau. He is a single dad and she is his new wife’s daughter so it’s an age gap, forbidden relationship. This is a quick read about temptation and morally grey decisions but there is also secrets and suspense amongst the blurred lines which intensifies the story.
Owen is struggling and under constant pressure from his vindictive ex wife. She is determined to destroy him and they are currently in a custody battle over their three children. When stressed Owen sleepwalks and does weird stuff so she is using using his sleep disorder against him and accusing him of being unstable. He’s tired of fighting her and feels losing control. Dr Jin Lau is his sleep specialist who is also in a predicament, her financial situation is threatening someone who means a lot to her. She suggests a marriage of convenience would be mutually beneficial and solve both their problems, especially as no intimacy involved.
Owen worries at first he might have made the biggest mistake of his life with this complicated arrangement but the two families get on well when they move into his house to keep up the facade. He is a loving and caring father who embraces the new chaotic situation. When Jin’s adult daughter Mei returns from visiting to her father, things start to change and get complicated. Mei is shocked as knew nothing about the marriage and has been uprooted to live with strangers. She immediately crushes on Owen and can’t believe he’s the first man she reacts to.
Owen senses she is sad and sees how little attention she gets from her mother so his protective instincts kick in. He comforts her as feels bad for her and takes care of her as she’s upset. He is as kind and thoughtful towards her as he is to his own children. Their connection is instantaneous and as they get to know each other, the temptation builds but Owen knows the growing desire is wrong. He is tempted by the one woman he can’t have but she is also thinking naughty thoughts about him. She helps him when sleep walking and ignites something inside him that he’s never felt before. There is too much at stake but could he cross the forbidden line. As their relationship begins so does the suspense part of the story. Hidden information emerges, secrets are revealed
and a stalker causes the family problems.
I liked Owen’s children and thought Mei’s sister Penny was adorable. It was fun seeing Savvy from Room For Three. For a quick read, the author definitely packs a lot in. The story shows how circumstances can put a person in a difficult position. Owen and Mei are two lonely people who find each other due to an unusual situation. Their relationship may be wrong to some people but they are a perfect match. I felt sorry for what Owen had gone through and was pleased he and Mei find the happiness they both deserve. This is the first book in the Taboo Sneaks series and we get a good teaser for the next one about Owen’s son Rhett.
