Don't Call Me Dad

by V. Blackwell

Slade never signed up to be a father. But when his wife walked out five years ago, he refused to abandon the angry, mouthy boy she left behind. Now Andrew is nineteen and spiralling... fighting, stealing, and landing in jail. After yet another late-night pickup from the police station, Slade’s patience finally snaps.

What begins as a brutal, no-holds-barred punishment in Andrew’s bedroom quickly ignites into something far more dangerous than either of them expected. The power shift is immediate and intoxicating. Handcuffs, dominance, and raw, filthy sex blur every line between stepfather and stepson. Andrew’s defiant attitude crumbles under Slade’s control, and the boy who once pushed every boundary starts craving the very man who’s supposed to keep him in line.

As Andrew begins to turn his life around... enrolling in college, getting clean, and finally trying to become someone worth being proud of... the forbidden heat between them only burns hotter. In a small town where gossip can destroy lives, Slade and Andrew must decide whether to keep their relationship hidden forever… or risk everything for the messy, addictive connection that’s slowly turning into love.

Dark, intensely erotic, and emotionally charged, Don’t Call Me Dad is a taboo stepcest romance about redemption, dominance, and a love that refuses to stay in the shadows. For readers who crave age-gap tension, power exchange, rough kink, and zero apologies for crossing every line.

Again this book is actually kinda sweet. The book starts a bit aggressive with their "first" being very dub-con and Slade being dominant from the get go as the older father figure. The dynamic switches almost instantly when they become an 'us' and Drew goes from rebel to good boy overnight and Slade melts to a big softie with nose nuzzles as 'baby' endearments left right and center.
All in all it was a good read for a short novella with a touch of taboo, redemption and a sweet HEA.

4 stars. Quick read. Absolutely just porn with a happy ending.

1/10 щось для мене це якесь згвалтування було🫠🫠🫠

This was fine...

While I liked most of this story, it was really tame for a pseudo forbidden story.

But outside of that, its a quick read and a good way to spend a day.

Though I did not like the ending epilogue then 5 year jump.

Give me one or the other but not both.

This was a good little read and a good litte find haven't read anthing from this author before may try to read don't call be your brother or something like that next I loved drew and slade they were really good for eachother and he got him back on a good path I loved that he turned his life around it was even good that he got to see his mom even if she was broken at least he made peace with it to the point that he had to say I can't see her like that and walk away sometime's you just have to do the right thing for yourself.

DNF @ 32%.

Meh. Not into it. Pseudo incest really just doesn’t scratch that taboo itch for me.

Also, no mention of it in the CWs, but Andrew has a GF, so there’s cheating

And there’s a lot of ellipses.

An absolutely filthy story, but it was so so sweet too.
Loved it, a forbidden romance between Stepdad and a bratty Stepson.
What starts out as a form of punishment soon turns into something more.
What a sweet sweet ending too.

Quick hot forbidden story, I ate it up. But I have to say I really didn't like that Andrew slept with his girlfriend after him and Slade had already started being intimate, even if I understood why (Slade's rejection) and at least it was only told not shown.

Oh my gosh! This book! The way the character dynamic was and the way it just flowed so well? Chefs kiss! V. Blackwell did her thing again and I am so grateful to have gotten to read this book!

[Tori Smithers]

I absolutely loved this book! Definitely read the triggers because this book won't be for everyone! But it was definitely my cup of tea!

[Diatee Pages]

I needed more pizzazz. More sparks or whatever.

[Ariel]

C'mon. We know why I read this. ;)

Simply hot, just like how you'd want a stepdad/stepson story to go. There's one or two spelling errors though, but honestly I got over it pretty quick due to the smut lol
