Need
I've been in love with my father's best friend for my entire life.
When Ashton moved to London, it broke my heart. I was only fourteen, but I was in love.
I haven't seen him in four years.
But now my father is getting married and he's back.
And things have definitely changed.
My feelings haven't changed but I have. I'm not a scrawny little girl anymore.
I have thick hips and curves. Lots of them.
And once my father's best friend sees them, well, let's just say he becomes more caveman than best man.
He can't take his eyes off me during the ceremony.
He can't keep his hands off me during dinner.
And every chance he gets, he's pulling me into storage closets and kitchens and alleys to... celebrate.
I've always wanted Ashton to see me. Really see me.
And he has. OMG, he has.
But what am I going to do when this obsessive older man keeps saying he's going to steal me away and bring me back to London with him?
And what's my father going to do when he finds out?
Don't you love weddings? The flowers, the dresses, the crazed Over-The-Top best man dragging a bridesmaid down the aisle... Or, is that just in my filthy head???
Get ready for a possessive alpha hero who makes zero apologies for his obsession with his new love. Insta-love at its finest in a SAFE read with no cheating and a super sweet HEA guaranteed.

Ashton the Anvil
Olivia definitely lives up to her tagline with this over-the-top number. I like Ashton and Violet's sizzling quick read.
Ashton is a tad too possessive, but he makes up for it in other ways. 😘🔥

This guy doesn’t act his age. We just had about an hour of sex and he’s ready for more. The man is insatiable. I love it.

What He Really Needs…
“Need” is another fun, entertaining, naughty novella from Olivia T. Turner, featuring enjoyable main characters and the inevitable secondary character, everyone just loves to hate. This fast-paced, insta-lust/love tale depicts the sizzling attraction between a virginal young woman and an older man, who just happens to be Daddy’s best friend. Professionally written and thoroughly engaging, this completely OTT, taboo romance omits most of the fluff, thrusting the reader right into the meat of the story (pun intended… yeah, I know totally lame).
Reintroduced at Violet’s, father’s wedding (second marriage), Ashton is amazed that the fourteen-year-old girl he left behind has transformed into a stunning young woman. Violet has always been in love with Ashton and is more than receptive to his intimate, clandestine … stimulating … advances. Overwhelmed with need for Violet, Ashton’s obsessive behavior leads the couple into some precarious positions (yep, that kind) during the wedding reception, prompting the suspicions of Violet’s evil step-monster… oops, I meant… stepmother. The step-monster… I mean, stepmother… maliciously relays her suspicions to Violet’s father and bedlam ensues.
Will both couples live happily ever after or are permanent separations unavoidable?... And exactly what role does modern refrigeration, condiments and eggs… contribute to this insatiable story-line? For answers to these and other scandalous questions, simply read “Need” and enjoy yourself.
Warning: Only those into OTT obsessive, possessive, dirty talking older men with very large… bank accounts 😉… should read this novella.
Disclaimer: No Kindles were seriously harmed while reading this novel. Children 18 and over only due to overtly sexual content!
Disclaimer for the Disclaimer… the term “seriously harmed” is not intended to include: overheating, scorch marks, minor melting or inconsequential fire that can be put out with an extinguisher. Fire retardant gloves highly recommended while reading.
RATING DETAILS (based on a 5-star rating system):
STEAM FACTOR: 5 Sizzling Stars
WRITING STYLE: 4 Professional Stars
PLOT: 5 Engaging Stars
ENGAGING CHARACTERS: 5 Daddy’s Best Friend Stars
SATISFYING CONCLUSION: 5 Heartwarming Stars

I love myself an insatiable man obsessed with his wife.
April 17, 2019
I’m past desire. I’m past captivation. I’m past fixation. I’m in full-blown obsession territory here and I don’t see myself getting out anytime soon. I need this girl. I need to own her. To consume her fully. It’s all I can fucking think about.
Yea...ummm that just f*cking happened. Damn this was a good one. O.T.T. knows how to write a good OTT, gone for his girl, possessive hero. But Ashton? I'm not sure what can accurately describe him when he first sees Violet after 4 years. He last saw her when she was 14 y/o but now that she's an 18 y/o woman, he's stupified. I absolutely loved his reaction.
-virgin h, celebate H for at least 4 years
-so OTT, gone I mean he's gone gone for the h
-no cheating
-no abuse (just step mom being a major bitch to h)
-no OM drama
-mild OW drama (OW was trying to flirt with H but he was irritated with her because she was trying to take his attention away from h)
I really enjoyed this one...can you tell?
Fully recommend.

The Becky person was just awful! Ashton and Violet were great! Ashton was very protective and went straight for what he needed. Violet stood up for herself and found her place in the world. Of course there’s plenty of hot times!

This is still my absolute favorite short steamy read. This book is freaking perfection.
April 20, 2019
This was pretty fast pace and super insta.. was also kinda one sided (when she crushed on him when she was younger he didn't see her that way until he saw her at the wedding)
Violet has had a thing for her fathers best friend for ages.. even when he moved away for 4 years, seeing him again at her fathers wedding has sparks flying between the two some dirty steamy moments are shared and Ashton wont leave without her even when Violets father finds out.. and their is some drama in that..
No cheating, no ow/om, drama, sexy times, celebite and a virgin gal
Instalove/lust
Older/younger couple

This was one dimensional story telling. Not sexy in the least. I need more from my MC than a raging erection and a need to go bareback and breed within 2 minutes of seeing the H. YMMV.

Steamy age gap with a very possessive older man that sees his best friends daughter after 4 years and realizes she has blossomed and bloomed into a beautiful young woman. But Ashton becomes possessed and totally focused on making her his and taking her back to London with him.
Sweet story ❤️

4.5 stars. Fuck! Holy shit! This was awesome! Hot and hilarious! Can you believe that I was actually trembling? While reading the scene at the wedding when Ashton sees Violet. God, you'll think I'm crazy, but I really was trembling from too much emotion. It was like I was feeling what HE was feeling. I really felt a connection with both Ashton and Violet. I loved being in their heads so much! The story was beautifully written. So beautiful. I can't believe the book ended. I want more. God, I love Ashton!
April 17, 2019
I absolutely loved this viciously hot instalove story. The idea of the heroine, just doing her things, being a good person and all, evoking that level of passion and obsession in the hero is so moving. The struggle that he faces, the nanosecond of hesitation before his unfailing commitment to claiming his soulmate, the sheer determination to shielding her from sadness, all combine to create one heck of a bookboyfriend. This is one OTT book from the queen of OTT that I’ll be revisiting

Olivia T. Turner does it again with super steamy story that features both an OM/yw dynamic and the added taboo bonus of the hero, Ashton, being the best friend of the heroine’s father.
Violet has been in love with Ashton forever and they see each other again at her father’s wedding where Ashton has arrived from London to be the best man. This is the first time that Ashton is seeing Violet again after 4 years and his reaction is everything that I could want to see in a hero and his inner thoughts are a delicious read for anyone needing a jealous/possessive fix. Ashton at the reception during Violet’s dance with her father definitely fed my j/p fix, and the way he handled the scene with Violet’s father was unexpected, but so very very *right* for the circumstances. Speaking of the reception, I loved that Violet finally did more than endure the bad treatment she was getting from Becky and took action. It was soooo satisfying to see her get her comeuppance!
My one criticism is the misuse of a certain relationship title in the first chapter of the book. It took me a moment and a couple of more sentences to figure out what the correct relationship was, but it wasn’t difficult to figure out.
I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone interested in stories featuring age gap, father’s best friend, and a deliciously j/p alpha hero. It is a shorter length book with enough story and heat to keep it satisfying.

Y'all know I love a good age gap but this one missed the mark somewhere along the way...
Violet has been in love with her dad's best friend since she was a kid and now that she is 18 years old, she is hoping that they might have a chance. They haven't seen one another in four years but he is the best man at her dad's wedding, and it is clear the moment he sees her all grown up that she is exactly what he wants.
Seriously, I know that this isn't supposed to be the next great American novel. It was meant to be a fun and dirty read which it was, but the narration was a bit off for me. Beth Roeg didn't quite hit the mark for me for Violet and I can't put my finger on why, but it was just meh. Noel Harrison did all the delicious growls for the older alpha male so that part I was completely invested in.
If you want something fun to listen to kill a few hours, then I say go for it. You will get more than a touch of yummy and a delicious growly voice in your ears. Not much to lose honestly.

I did not like this book as much as the previous book by this author, Olivia T. Turner. So I would have to give this book a 3 out of 5-star rating. I liked it don't get me wrong and it was such a quick read that I read it in a span of less than three hours. I liked the female main character Violet she was strong and knew what she wanted from the beginning. While the male main character Ashton was a well-written and was determined to get what he wanted no matter the consequences. I recommend this author but I am not sure if I recommend this book.
April 17, 2019
Ashton sees his best friends daughter walk down the aisle and he is speechless. He knows she's the one for him, he's feeling possessive and doesn't want anyone touching her. What he doesn't realize is that she only has eyes for him. When he discovers she feels the same it's all over for them. They will be together no matter what, he just hopes his best friend, her father will approve.
Exciting with passion that will captivate you to the end.

I just loved Violet and Ashton's story. It was sweet and steamy and a fantastic balance of over the top/older man/younger woman /dad's best friend. Well written and hard to put down. You won't want to miss this entertaining and quick read. Another great read from Ms. Turner! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. Violet's dad is getting remarried and she is excited to see his best friend Ashton. She has been in love with him since she was little. Ashton has seen Violet since she was a little girl but now she is a woman and he can't take his eyes off her. He is taking her back to London with him no matter what.
