Sylvia & Zach #1-3

Taboo Passions: Sylvia & Zach: A Complete Novella

Rate this book
Zach always torments Sylvia. He makes fun of her flat chest, and her prissy attitude.

She’s always hated what a jerk he was.

Sylvia is a gymnast, dreading going to college and having to continue maintaining her trim, toned figure. She fantasizes about a man claiming her, getting her pregnant, and saving her from her life of tedium.

And when those fantasies get closer to home, she tries to reject them with every fiber of her being.

Zach wasn’t good for her. He was just a jock, and didn’t appreciate the beauty of gymnastics.

But when she catches him watching one of her performances, and their wrestling over the remote gets more serious, things come to a head.

There’s no going back.

Taboo Sylvia & Zach is a complete novella.

Some time back I read the first part of this series and now it was time to read the whole novella.

It is a very hot read.
I like the building up to the point of where they finally take action together.
The way they circle around each other.

When she finds out what he did with her fave panties and what she does with them next is so hot.
No wonder it was the sign for him to take the next step. And he does take control and let's her experience how good a first time can be for both of them.

Pfff, hot and steamy read.

Smut done well.
I usually stay away from the step sibling stories, but am glad I gave this one a chance.
Yes, it's smutty smutness, but it was an entertaining story, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading as they both came to their epiphany ;)

Fairly reasonable and emotional plot

This was surprisingly a well planned out storyline between step-siblings. I like how it had been two months after first watching his step-sister (accidentally) that Zach decided to pursue her as it gave time for them to somewhat feel each out in a realistic way of the remote control fighting. I wish Sylvia was given a little more awareness during that time as well. I felt the emotions were real...at least for teenagers and there was real buildup and not insta lust there. The ending was rather abrupt and I wish the author stopped describing it as incestuous because it's NOT as they are steps and have only been that way since they were 13 years old. I took off a star for that.

The hottest novella I've ever read

The sex and emotions between the protagonists are very good. If you like to read about twisted passions, this novella is for you.

The characters are pretty much caricatures, but I still give this a passing grade.

While pseudo-incest is not one of the sub-genres of erotica that typically does not top my reading list, I occasionally happen upon a story of this nature that peaks my interest enough to give it a go. Taboo Passions: Sylvia & Zach is one of those stories. I read this work initially in serialized form having received ARCs of the 3 parts from the author in exchange for my honest review. While I personally felt part of the story was lost in serialized form, it was none-the-less a really great, well written story which prompted me to purchase and add the complete novella to my collection for future enjoyment. I find many pseudo-incest stories between siblings to be simply salacious for the sake of making a few bucks and the motivations for character involvement to be weak and implausible at best. Here the 2 principals are bound by a mutual distaste for one another that transitions as the result of a incidental occurrence, in the form of Zach witness his sister masturbating, that fundamentally shifts Zach's view of his step-sister, allowing him to see past the spoiled little princess he has been teasing and taunting for years and awaken to the re-visualization of his sister as a sexual object. Though initial recognizing the taboo nature of their involvement, the 2 ultimate embrace what rapid culminates in a profound attraction for one another and ends on a happily-ever-after that is open ended enough that there honestly could be more to tell should the author wish to revisit this naughty duo. Definitely worth reading if you have even the slightest interest in the genre.

I received a free ARC copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Part 1
We meet the step siblings Zach and Sylvia. They have a normal brother sister relationship till one day Zach sees something he can’t get out of his head. Will he take advantage of the situation? Will he be able to walk away? Will he force the issue? You will have to get the book and see but warning she ends book 1 as a cliffhanger and you want to know what happens next so I advise you to make sure you have books 1 and 2 before you start.
Part 2
OH my gosh this book is so hot and so so so forbidden. I cannot believe what they did or what she found out. This book was so good that I had to take a break before I wrote my review to attack my hubby. Dam I felt like I was the sister. Candy definitely pulled you into the story so much you lost yourself in it then they way she ended it just made you so mad. So now you have to get part 3 to know what happens next.
Part 3
Oh my, gosh! That was not what I was expecting. Yes I was expecting them to get it on but not the rest. I loved the book and I SO WANT A FOLLOW UP BOOK. I would love to know what happens. But his was so much fun to read. Thank you Candy this is a job well done.

I received the collection for free in exchange for an honest review.

Sylvia & Zach book 1 introduces you to the step-siblings. Although there is no sexual interaction between them in this book it doesn't leaving you wanting. Candy Quinn does a wonderful job in introducing Sylvia's pleasure inducing antics. Her special ways is what pulls Zach into the mix. I cannot wait to read the next book.

Sylvia & Zach book 2 picks up right where book 1 leaves off. Sylvia is sprawled across Zach's lap with his manhood pressed against her. Candy Quinn gives full and explicit details on their encounter including Sylvia's continued denial of her true feelings about it. Towards the end of the story she finally gives in the her carnal side and just as they're about to finally seal the deal they are cut off by the arrival of a mystery person. Will the anticipation never end??

Sylvia & Zach book 3... What a steamy ending to a wonderfully torturous few stories. Candy Quinn certainly has a way with words. My only regret in reading this book is that it's over and I totally want more. :) I can't wait to read another story from her.

Read all the singles as arcs for an honest review. Loved them. Sylvia and Zack are stepbrother and stepsister. They have secret affections for each other but will not act on it till now. Zack catches Sylvia playing with her self and so starts the spiral to getting into each other pants. They almost get caught at one point before they can do the dead. But as the temperature rises in the house will these two be able to douse the fire before "their parents" get home.

Books 1-3 in the Taboo Passions series. These are short taboo stories although they were well-written, they were not for me.
