Step-Kink

by Dani Wyatt

He has the face of my father, but his hands are all his.
Rye McAllister is my dad's twin brother. He took me to my first thrift store, named a bonsai tree after me, and was always there at Sunday brunch.

Now Dad's in rehab, Mom’s a mess, I have the tryout of a lifetime coming up, and Rye's sleeping down the hall as my stand-in father figure.

And I am not okay.

When my friends drag me to a bachelorette weekend, I’m expecting chocolate dildos and too much tequila, not a private kink club for Truth or Dare night. And, because God hates me specifically, guess who’s there? Uncle Rye.

Things go from awkward to holy sh*t when he slaps a collar on my neck and takes all my dares for himself.
So, what do I do? I bolt. Because I’m the good girl that holds the family together by being, well… perfect.
The McAllister Clan is coming apart. But will love be enough to put the pieces back together?

Author's This filthy little bachelorette-gone-wrong features a 6'5" step-uncle with his twin brother's face and an obsession with a sweet, tiny dancer that is 100% off limits. Safe, no cheating, with a hero who tracks her iPhone like a love language. He looks like her dad, but being her Daddy is what he was born for.

About the author

Since I was a little girl, I’ve made up stories. I would lay in my bed at night and before I knew what a trope was, I would make up these trope filled stories. Boy sees girl, boys falls for girl, boy saves girl….happily ever after. As I got older, the stories turned steamier and more intricate, but the basics never changed.

Now, my books are still full of romance but the naughty bits are naughtier, my hero’s are obsessed alpha types and my heroines are quirky, real women who come in all shapes and sizes.

So, sit back, banish the real world and get lost in some over the top romance with a heaping helping of hot. xoxoxo

[Kursed Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

When a bachelorette party unexpectedly takes Elodie McAllister to Club Echo, a kink club, she could have never predicted that her kink master for the night would be Rye McAllister, her stepfather’s identical twin brother.

Whew… Loved this take on a forbidden romance! That said, there’s minimal plot to be found here. So, if that’s what you’re after, look elsewhere. If not, enjoy this smutty one-handed read for exactly what it is!

I went into this book with an open mind. I will never yuk someone else's yum but I couldn’t get into this at all. The description of the room in the "club" is just like a childs bedroom and the mention of ball pits and a onesie and then theres leather straps and other adult "equipment" it really put me off from there and the whole "little girl" name i just couldn't get passed it. I reluctantly finished the book. But it wasn't for me

[Noel Kjosness · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great book...except for

Any Dani Wyatt book is an automatic buy for me. This book would have been amazing, but there were too many spelling/word errors. This is very unusual for a DW book. I hate being drawn out of the story by an abrupt word error.

This forbidden passion and pack full of spice in Kink is delicious

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🔥🔥🔥🔥

My Thoughts 💭

Rye might be, her step uncle but the man is a spitting image of her father what more could go wrong....

Now this man has a filthy mouth, he is deliciously dominant in all of the right ways.

He can make you melt while having you in a posture collar.

Oh and you're stuck living with him and pretending he's your Daddy 👀
Or so you thought and he really does become your Daddy 😏

Yeah so Dautie I love that nickname 🤭

Is harboring the most forbidden fantasies of her step uncle who is an identical twin to her stepdad who she absolutely loves and adores but what she doesn't know is her step uncle is the kinkiest man around 😍

Like I'm in this man can take control of an entire room when he sets his eyes on her.

I had moments where I was giggling I had moments where I was like a yes Daddy I'll be your good girl 😏
And I had moments where I was like you own that girl 🖤

So in conclusion I think everyone needs to read it it's a short fast pace insta love they're both harboring the feelings of love and he will protect her no matter what cost and he will have her no matter what anyone says!!!

seriously if you aren’t into this don’t bother

It’s filthy in the best way. Over the top MMC who’s morally grey and willing to do anything for his woman. For a seasoned Dani fan like myself I know what to expect when I dive into this book, he’s an a hole to everyone but his lady. His world revolves around her and only her. Something about the way Dani writes a fully devoted man in times where men are rarely like this in real life is *chefs kiss*

[Christina Astorga · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received an ARC, and I'm freely reviewing.

4.3 stars. So be prepared for this kinky read. I enjoyed it, but hey, this is my jam. Elodie is a young adult who has had a hidden crush in her step uncle for years. Rye is step uncle, and he has been infatuated with Elodie for a while as well. It's taboo not bad. The first scene where they accept what's happening blows the door wide open. It's great. This book has the daddy/baby girl talk, a smidge of voyeurism and a whole lot of dirty goodness. Got to be honest. It so works! If you enjoy this author, you will enjoy this book.

[Kat · Rating 4 out of 5]

Spicy taboo!!! Rye and Elodie’s story starts steamy and strong. I was hooked from the start. Now, please check your trigger warning and remember this won’t be for everyone. This was a very well written book, with Spice that will have you wanting your own Daddy Rye. It’s definitely taboo but I was here for it ❤️

[Kiare_books3 · Rating 5 out of 5]

The tension you feel from the very first pages is absolutely epic!

It's a story with erotic role-playing, captivating sexual chemistry between the main characters, a passionate, forbidden romance.

It features an age difference relationship where the main characters are not related by blood.

"I'm your dad, but I'm also your uncle who has your father's face."

It's the most erotic story I've read so far. And it was entertaining. Captivating.

I loved it! Without much drama.

And with a "happily ever after" guaranteed.

[Emily Johnston (Booked.Up.With.Emily) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was an entertaining read and really dove deep into the age gap and daddy k!nk.

However, the ball pit quip was where it lost me a bit 😂

[Mary Hudson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! Dani Wyatt does it again with this deliciously taboo read! This series is explosively panty melting! I love how possessive but sweet the mmc is. Rye and Elodie have chemistry off the charts! Each holds a flame for the other unknowingly. It was intense and epic when they came together. This book has lots of spice and plenty of kink to go around. I highly recommend this book and this series!

[Day · Rating 5 out of 5]

I couldn't get enough of this book! The story of these two will have you fanning yourself.
Rye and Elodie are explosive together. The Taboo element in their relationship is perfect for their story. The tension between them is palpable at the club and Rye can't stay away any longer. It was so good! They were both so obsessed with one another. I loved every second of it!

[Felicia's Review · Rating 5 out of 5]

Elodie is having to survive the week with her step uncle who will be pretending to her father. Rye see Elodie in his club and now becomes so possessive no one can look at her. This book was spiccccccyyyyyyyyyyyy amd good I read it in one sitting.

[Wendy · Rating 4 out of 5]

MMC: Rye
FMC: Eloise
Nicknames: Dautie
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5/5
Tropes: daddy kink, a little dd/lg, step-uncle, BDSM, Possessive MMC,
Triggers: Alcoholism (parent), Dub/con, power imbalance, taboo relationship (step-uncle)

Eloise has been infatuated with her step uncle since puberty and he finally takes a notice to her when she walks into his BDSM club.

LIKES: I enjoyed how quick the two got together, I enjoy when a smutty book just gets right into it. I love a caretaker MMC and Rye is an attentive uncle.
DISLIKES: The fact that he looks like her actually step dad is already kind of strange but she brings it up far too many times during the spicy scenes. I feel the daddy kink is kind of strange. It is more than just her calling him Daddy, but less than a dd/LG. It was a weird medium where I feel like the author should picked a full blown Piper North moment or just left it with her calling him daddy in bed.

[Elsa Reyna · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one had me hooked from the very first page—the tension is unreal and never lets up.

A bold, provocative story filled with intense chemistry, addictive power dynamics, and a romance that definitely pushes boundaries. The connection between the main characters is magnetic—charged, consuming, and impossible to ignore.

It dives into a forbidden, age-gap relationship (no blood relation), adding an extra layer of complexity that makes everything feel even more daring and intriguing.

And that line—*“I’m your dad, but I’m also your uncle who has your father’s face.”*—yeah… it lives rent-free in my head.

This is easily one of the most daring and seductive reads I’ve picked up—entertaining, captivating, and completely binge-worthy. No unnecessary drama, just pure intensity and connection.

And yes… that HEA delivers.

✨ Highly recommend if you’re looking for something bold, edgy, and unforgettable.

The characters were very appealing and likeable and complicated and perfectly steamy together. Plot was intriguing and exciting and well paced. World building was solidly drawn and impressive. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend!

You maybe questioning the word taboo when you finish this book. Rye and Elodie had feelings and attraction before the night that changed everything. This book in its entirety is morally gray but in the best way. The daddy/little girl dynamic shines through from the second they enter into it. However it isn’t just kink and steam, there is a love and obsessive devotion that changes everything for the better. This is a really excellent read.

[Obsessively Reader · Rating 4 out of 5]

So ever since I read the blurb for this story it has been stuck in my head. Step Dads twin and she was a ballerina ?!? Then she gives me DD/LG kink on top. I loved this. It fit. Everything just slid into place. There was no push and pull. I think they had both had enough with pretending what they had was not there. I love that he never once felt bad and didn't do the typical " Oh but my brother." Loved the happy ending but I was not ready for it to end. I wanted more of them. More of their story. Well done! Looking forward to the next one!

[Mandy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Step-Kink is Elodie and Rye's stepfather's identical twin brother, morally gray and taboo romance. Rye and Elodie are a slow burn in silence. Neither of them knowing how the other is drowning in need. Once they give themselves permission to explore it's explosive. The chemistry was hot and the taboo element was naughty but so good.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the author and I'm leaving my honest review.

[Lauren Adkins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hot Hot Hot!
Elodie has always had to be perfect and proper for her parents and follow the dream they want. When her girl crush on her step uncle becomes something possible, who is she to deny it.
Love the connection between these two, the usual age gap, just legal innocent vibe, but it’s clear the love and obsession runs deep. Very spicy lots of BDSM, DDLG elements and high on ‘touch her and die’ vibes.

[Maria11 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good read with the lead male character totally obsessed with one interaction. He is supposed to be pretending to be her stepdad but to me doesn’t really succeed in doing so. Lots of dirty talking and some kink. It’s hot.

Overall this was a good book. I enjoyed the connection and tension between Rye and Elodie. Both Rye and Elodie have been attracted to each other but never did anything about it until now. These two were hot and I enjoyed Dd/lg sense. I am looking forward to more from Dani soon.

[Alinaya123456789 · Rating 5 out of 5]

quick good read

I knew going in that I would enjoy this book, but I didn’t know how much I would actually like it.

Both characters were great. Rye was super 🔥🔥 and OTT possessive. Elodie was innocent while also learning to take control of her life.

There was still some plot with the spice as well as it being the perfect length.

[Lyritza · Rating 3 out of 5]

No plot to be found, which is exactly what I wanted in the moment.
I have discovered that dd/lg, with huge emphasis on the lg aspect, is not my thing. Some lines were so cringey it was straight up funny. So I read the entire novella with raised brows and a smile on my face.

[Kim B · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very hot!! A just turned 18 year old dancer (Elodie) and her step-uncle Rye (who is also an identical twin of her step-dad). BDSM, light DD/lg dynamic, "Daddy", possessive AF uncle, dirty talk, alpha vibes. Hot, hot!

[Martha · Rating 5 out of 5]

I need to get the other books in this series. Finished in one sitting. High spice, and good story. I loved the will he finally give in aspect. Banter between characters was so good. Highly recommend.

hotttttttt. that is all and i will not be elaborating

[Ashley · Rating 4 out of 5]

You see the title - you know exactly what kind of story you’re about to read ;)

Elodie has always done what she’s been told to do, for the sake of her ballet career and her family image. But when her best friend’s bachelorette party takes a detour to Club Echo she decides to let herself “live a little”, at least just for the night. What she definitely did NOT expect was to see her step-dad’s twin brother, Rye, in attendance. Nor did she expect Rye to declare her as his submissive for the club’s special “K!nk or Dare” event.

Elodie has secretly had a crush on Rye for YEARS! And for Rye, he’s tried so hard to keep his distance ever since adult-Elodie has stirred new feelings in him. So the question is…if they give in for just this one night, could things ever go back to the way they were?

This was a forbidden romance wrapped up into a spicy novella. Their love is definitely one that society would NOT take too kindly to, but for these two their passion and commitment was undeniable.

If you’re looking for a spicy age-gap with an obsessive MMC, lots of k!nk, role-play, and a tab00 dynamic then this is definitely a story you’ll want to check out!

GIRL.

Do yourself a favor and read this book, mmmkay? Wyatt never fails to bring all the heat and emotions to her books and Step-Kink was no exception.

[Micheala]

I could get behind age play and try not to kink shame, but the description of the room was a no. After learning all I have about a certain set of files in real life...I just can't.
