This one had me falling in love with Asher even more! The devotion he has for both Peyton and Riley is truly beautiful. Plus, the reveal of his secret had me shook. Peyton and Riley can’t seem to catch a break though. Between Jake and Vikki, those two endured soooooo much. Be prepared because this one is the darkest in the series thus far and the cliffhanger is a million times more brutal. Jake is officially off his rocker.
After falling out with Asher in the last book I liked him again in this one. I love that he loves and wants to take care of his girls.
I do wish the girls would stop keeping secrets. The fact that is the same people hurting them both would make more sense if they deal with it together.
Still dislike Jake and Vikki with a passion but totally glad that Peyton managed to put Vikki in her place.
We continue right where book two ends and this is the darkest so far. Both Peyton and Riley are being bothered by Jake and Vicki plus her friends. They both won't say what's going on. Making Asher mad, he's trying to find a way to get rid of Jake but Jake's secrets and pull runs deep.
Book three in this mini series. Perfect bedtime quickie. I’m loving these reads but the endings… gahhhhh. Can’t wait for the next one. Heed the warnings.
OMG, that just ripped my heart out. wtf, Ashlynn 💔 This was some excellent writing as usual Ashlynn, but it definitely tugged at the heartstrings. I fu*king hate Jake. Asher needs to take his ass out. My therapy bill is on the way!
The story centers around Riley, a college student stuck in a sexually unfulfilling and increasingly abusive relationship with Jake. At first, he just feels annoying and controlling, but it quickly becomes clear he’s dangerous. His jealousy, entitlement, and physical aggression escalate fast, and Riley’s fear feels very real. She’s exhausted, touch-starved, and desperate to feel wanted, which makes her incredibly vulnerable.
That vulnerability is exactly what draws in Asher and Peyton. They’re step-siblings with a long sexual history and a shared fixation on Riley, and their interest isn’t innocent or respectful. Asher stalks her, spies on her, manipulates situations to get close to her, and crosses boundaries before Riley is ever fully aware of what’s happening. His POV is possessive and unhinged, and while the book clearly wants him to be dark and seductive, he’s also genuinely terrifying. Peyton comes across as softer, but she’s just as involved—seducing Riley, pushing her limits, and helping create the illusion that what’s happening is care rather than control.
As the series progresses, Riley is slowly pulled into their dynamic. There are moments where she wants them, moments where she’s curious, and moments where she clearly doesn’t know how to say no anymore. Consent is messy at best and nonexistent at worst, especially early on, and that’s something readers really need to be prepared for. The sexual content is extremely explicit and often intertwined with coercion, degradation, and power imbalance.
The violence also ramps up dramatically. Jake’s abuse becomes more severe, and Asher’s response to it is brutal. Kidnapping, torture, and graphic acts meant to punish and control are front and center, especially as the story moves into the later novellas. The line between “protection” and possession disappears entirely.
I can hardly wait to see where these three are going to. It is hard to find a good FFM story and with this series Ashlynn just nailed it!

🖤 𝓻𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓮𝔀🖤 I swear this series keeps me begging for more, as much as Riley begs for more from her little ‘inc3st freaks.’ The spice is heavier and pulls you into this throuple. The storyline is continually growing deeper and has not fallen short within the smut. The increasing anger for Jake continues to grow as we add another villain to the mix. But I love that we get a little more into how Asher is able to afford such luxurious things for his women. Ugh, I literally can’t say how much I have been enjoying this series.
*spoilers*
Again, we take off right after that drastic cliffy from the prior book that had my jaw on the ground. Thankfully, everyone comes out alright even with some minor injuries. Asher comes full swing to protect his loves as they finally devote themselves to each other by using the L word with full emotions. But Jake and his little beetch are still after Riley, as he had all the pull he needs to keep her by his side.
Now, this book has the greatest cliffhanger of all time and I will not spoil it, but my poor Riley. If I could, I’d come into the book itself and be your knight in shiny armor but I’m sure Asher and Peyton will have this covered in no time. But I will not be fulfilled until I get the next book in the series. I need to know how this whole thing is going to end.. I need redemption for Riley.
The cliffy queen strikes again! Wild Deceptions is book 3 of the Depraved Desires series by Ashlynn and holy shit it did not disappoint! I've read book 1, Wild Thoughts and it seemed like a "nice" enough intro into this series (by that I mean not as traumatizing for Ashlynn's writing 🤣). Check the triggers, because this book gets heavy (book 2 does also so PLEASE CHECK TRIGGERS WHEN STARTING THIS SERIES!). This book is high spice but there is plot and heartbreak, along with cliffhangers which are on brand for Ashlynn 🤣.
So quick recap, book 1 is Riley and her being introduced into Peyton & Asher's relationship while grying to leave her abusive shit of a bf Jake, then the cliffhanger happened. Book 2, Wild Confessions, picks up right where the cliffy ended and book 2 shows why Jake and bestie Vikki ain't shit..seriously fuck them 🖕🏼🖕🏼. But here in book 3, I thought Riley was finally gonna get her HEA but NOOO bitchass Jake just had to throw a bitch fit and act like a cuntasaurus again. I can't wait to see him meet his maker! Bring on book 4! Thank you @ashlynnauthor for the privilage to be part of your ARC team!

This series just keeps descending deeper into chaos, and book 3, "Wild Deceptions", is brutally dark, so please... read those TWs. Riley, Peyton, and Asher’s choice to be together feels less like a romance and more like a loaded w€apon pointed at everyone involved.
Secrets unravel fast, lies turn lethal, and the emotional damage is just as vicious as the physical viol€nc€. The forbidden MFF dynamic is messy, dangerous, and wildly addictive, with power plays that had me holding my breath one second and clutching my Kindle the next. The spice is intense, the tension is suffocating, and the stakes are higher than ever.
And that cliffy?! Geezus. Absolutely savage. I closed my Kindle in shock and immediately needed the next installment. Ashlynn is not playing fair... and honestly? I love it. Where, Oh Where is Book 4?!?!
My Ratings: ⭐ 4.5/5 ▪︎ 🥵 5/5
🥀 For my rating scale breakdown, head over to my Goodreads &/or Amazon profile! 🖤
If Ashlynn writes it, I’m reading it, and it’s getting 5 stars because she literally writes bangers. This short novella series is no different. Wild Deceptions is book three in the Depraved Desires series, and it picks up right where we left off in Wild Confessions.
As always, check your triggers… or be like me and just dive right in. From book one, I knew this was going to be a ride. For novellas, the plot is definitely plotting and there’s so. much. spice! Step-sibs, roommates, MFF… yeaaaa I’m here for it all.
I was not at all ready for that ending, and I just need the final book. I need Asher to take care of Riley’s shitty ex who of course just had to be a damn Radley. IYKYK, this family is just absolute trash. But I love how all of her series are interconnected somehow, we got to hear about Zaddy Spade and I love that! I can’t wait to see where book four takes us.
Our Depraved Desires by Ashlynn was nothing short of exhilarating!! It’s a little depraved , unhinged, taboo and so good! It’s a MFF dark forbidden romance in which one of the FMCs has a difficult time getting rid of her abusive boyfriend who thinks she’s a trophy to parade around and treats her like garbage, all for appearances and status. The FMC is fierce and fights to protect her those she loves. The problem is will she survive the horrendous predicament she finds herself in. You’ll have to read these to find out. Ashlynn’s storytelling is engaging pulling you in and keeping a tight grip throughout. She has a way of writing unhinged characters that you fall for and it’s always a fun ride!! Do not miss this one it’s 3 wild short stories that are fantastic!! 5/5 Highly recommend if dark is your genre of choice!!
Peyton, comes around to find Riley bleeding at her side, seven stab wounds leaving bl00d pouring out. Peyton, works fast getting her kit and starting to clean up the areas and stitching her up. Riley, wakes up and see Peyton and Asher sat at her side. Three months later after recovering Riley’s life seems to be back on track, she still scared that Jake will find her but her love life has never been better. With them all living together in a house off campus, what more could she wish for??
Ashlynn throws us right back into the fray, with more of that spice we’ve gotten used to, some secrets revealed but wait! She’s only gone and left us on another dreaded cliffy 😱🤣
This was a difficult read. Hoping that Riley would get her revenge. That Peyton would be safe. This ending is severe. Ashlynn has to hurry and write book 4 because I need to know. The ending is gut wrenching. This book has serious excruciating trauma that will haunt me a long way into 2026. Okay I know Ashlynn writes dark trauma and over the top spice in her books. It is like a war between the spice and violence to see who wins. Folks, believe me, it is a draw. The journey of their love goes from sweet to kinky to WTF did I just read. But that part with Peyton I was screaming “No, please no Ashlynn”. Then Ashlynn had to outdo herself by writing that sick ending! Just brace yourself and seriously read all the content warnings.
Wild Deceptions by Ashlynn is the third book in the Depraved Desires series. This one is not as spicy as the two before it, but that’s okay because this one added a lot of much needed information pertaining to character backstories and things that have been happening in the background throughout the series! I really enjoyed this story, and I think that it is my favorite of the series so far. Ashlynn does such a good job writing her characters and her stories. I love the dynamic that the 3 main characters have with each other and I’m glad that we have learned more about their backgrounds. It adds a lot of depth into the story.
I definitely recommend this whole series to anyone who wants a short series with lots of spice that doesn’t lack plot! Readers beware, if you haven’t read anything from Ashlynn then you don’t understand that each book always has a cliffy!
Holy hot taboo goodness! This series is full of longing, banter, badass fmcs and spicy vibes. I absolutely love how much Ashlynn can get me completely sucked in from just the dedication alone. I have been able to put this series down so far. As they’re ‘short stories’ it’s a super quick and easy read. Again, this book gets even darker by the end, so please check triggers.
I absolutely adore the cross-over from my favourite King (IYKYK). As always, Ashlynn not only delivers on the spice, but also even in such short stories, enough plot to keep my little adhd/autistic brain happy. It’s got dark elements that I just know your dark little hearts will love. The connection between Bluebird, Dove & Hotshot will leave your panties a mess.
This review might be a little biased, because honestly, no matter what Ash writes—if Spades makes an appearance, it’s an automatic 5⭐️🤭
At this point, though, I think I’m in a toxic relationship with Ash. She gives us the most unhinged cliffhangers, and I keep throwing myself right back into them. I was screaming when I realized book three was not the last one 😭😭😭 Now I’ll be depressed while waiting for Wild Beginnings 🙃
This book had the perfect amount of everything: smut, plot, and dark elements. I’m already itching for that deeply satisfying moment when Asher finally makes Jake suffer… and I just know it’s going to be soooo good!!!
WTF Ash! You would think after the many, many , many books I have read that I would be use to this shit, but nope…. wtf! I have been waiting for you to pick this up again and finish it so we can get the ending these 3 deserved, and then you go a pull your typical BS and end with a cliffy like that… so not cool!!!!!!!!!
And must I say…. The crossovers that happen… LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Ash, and step sister Peyton, meet Riley in Book 1 and their relationship gets more “intense” as the books go on. I absolutely love this throuple!
Wow!! This truly is a dark, depraved and twisted read! I did not know what I was getting into when I began reading this book. I loved every minute of reading this book. It was so spicy and thrilling. I wanted more of it but it left me hanging at such a nail biting moment…I need to know what happens next!!! Thank you, Ashlynn, for such a captivating read! You are such a Vixen for pulling us into this story and then leaving us dangling on a cliffie!! I hope the book releases before I lose my mind wondering what happened!!
Book 3 in the Depraved Desires series picks up where Wild Confessions left off. Once again it's a very short fast paced smut fest. Wild Deceptions is the third book in the series and we get to see where the trio end up and how their triangle of love plays out. I loved getting more of a backstory on Asher and how he came into the money they have. There's still lots of drama for such a short read and I'm now sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for book 4 when I hope Jake truly gets what he deserves.
As each mini series is released the story just keeps on getting better. Riley, Peyton and Asher's relationship is growing stronger but Jake still hasn't backed off. If you read Dangerous Allure & Dangerous Beauty then you already know what a POS Jake is and the danger he brings. This one ends on a nail bitting cliffhanger. Can't wait to see what happens in the next episode.
These are perfect little quick reads for when you’re short on timeand want some spice, and pick up right after each other…this was definitely the darkest one of the series so far, with some quick little cameos from another series that fill in some of the “side quests” those characters were on…how Jake being as slippery as he is reminds me of another character and I really can’t wait til he gets what’s coming to him
This was such a good book. It is the third book in the Depraved Desires books. This is a very short book, but in some ways ties up many of the things that were started in books one and two. However, in other ways it opens up some other issues. This book ends on another cliffhanger and we will just have to wait to know what happens next in the next book Wild Beginnings. I highly suggest and I can’t wait.
I received an advanced review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
This short novella carries on from book 2 perfectly. This one is darker and even spicier than the last. I am looking forward to seeing where Asher, Peyton and Riley go in the next book. I enjoyed seeing some side characters in this novella who we have see before.
As always I highly recommend that if you have not already read a book written by Ashlynn the you go and start with the Kings of Chaos series. You will not be disappointed.
Things are getting twisted so quickly that I wish this could be longer so I could enjoy it with more details, but it is what it is.
So, shitty ex turns out to be shittier than I thought and now he has Riley in the most painful situation that I just needed to read twice just to make sure I understood what he was doing to her 😖.
Now I'm just egger to see Asher in his element while putting Jake were he belongs.
This is the third book out of four for the Our Depraved Desires series. It is heavy with potential triggers so check the warning page. This is a short book but full of spice right from page 1. How can you not be engaged right away when a girl is lying in a pool of blood! Riley and Peyton are in trouble and someone wants to keep Asher from coming to the rescue. Ashlynn has me hooked with their writing. I can feel Asher’s pain and anger as I am reading. I can’t wait for revenge.
Okay 5 stars all the way. But let’s be honest Ashlynn has yet to write a book that doesn’t hook me and have me craving more. First off thank you for Asher , holy smokes , the man knows devotion and his passion for Peyton and Riley. Chefs kiss. The spice in the whole series is off the charts and this book was yes maybe a little less than the others but perfect still. A wild ride indeed the spice ,the twist ,and the turns are continually delivered leaving me needing more.
The emotions are high with this story. I felt the deeper connection that Riley, Peyton, and Asher had started forming with each other. While still spicy, there was more happening than just this trio. It was nice to see Riley and Asher interacting together with their own moments.
OMG. The ending. I literally said "No" like six times in a row. Ashlynn, you can't leave me hanging like this. I NEED the final book in this series ASAP.
I love this series, it’s short and sweet but packed with so much spice & trauma. I’m obsessed with the connections to the Kings series and Presley’s story. I squeeeled when I saw Spade’s name pop up. And to find out Jake was a Radley makes perfect sense and I can’t wait for him to have a brutal bloody death. Another 10/10 from Ashlynn, I can’t wait to see where book 4 takes us
I have been waiting awhile for the third book in the Depraved desires series and this next short story did not disappoint! I LOVEEE Asher and Peyton so much! This throuple is hot hot hot! Also the cliffy had me screaming! I can’t wait for the next short story in this series. Catch up with the series and get this book today!
