Some lines should never be crossed.
But sometimes temptation is too good to resist…

Mason Black was everything to me: my father, my provider, my protector. But then one day, he vanished, leaving me lost and alone.

I was devastated.

Years later, just when I thought I had put the pieces of my life together, my world splintered apart again. Everything I thought I knew about my biological father and Mason’s role in my life? Turns out, it was all a lie. Every. Last. Word.

Now Mason’s back.

However, he offers no excuses, no explanations. He just wants me to be what he claims I’ve always been: his little girl.

But the ache inside me won’t be denied. The longing I feel isn’t one of a little girl who misses her father.

No.

I need Mason to be more than just a father figure.

More than a loving protector.

I need him to be my Daddy.

*** Author's Note: The word “Dark” is in the title for a reason, folks. Please read responsibly... Brace yourself for a twisted, forbidden romance so deliciously devious, it'll tie you up by your heartstrings and then drag you along for the ride. If you’re a fan of forbidden love pairings, broody, protective Daddy figures, and contemporary Gothic vibes, then this book was tailor-made for your Kindle. However, please be aware that this novella involves a highly taboo relationship dynamic, in addition to brief discussions of past abuse. If you are uncomfortable with any aspect of the above description, I recommend you sit this one out.

If I have to read about one more incestuous couple acting as if fucking your father is just a normal, Sunday afternoon activity...I swear imma throw hands.

QUICK SUMMARY:
Jett has always believed she was abandoned by her father. She had no other explanation for why he up and disappeared when she was 12 years old, since her mother would never tell what happened. Until one day she revealed an unexpected truths: Mason is not her biological dad. So at 18, Rett set out to find Mason and figure out the complete story behind everything. What neither of them expected was the newfound attraction they feel towards each other.

The man who had taught me how to ride a bicycle was teaching me something far more important now: how to give and receive pleasure. He was going to make me come.


This book was going fine until all the reveals happened.

🛑SPOILER🛑

Turns out Rett's mom was raped by her own father since she was a child, and consequently got pregnant very young. Mason was her boyfriend at the time, so he thought the child was his until her 12th year. But that's not why he left. Mason has been sketching Rett while she was sleeping for years. The mom found those drawings and freaked out, which was a logical reaction given her history. She kicked him out, and he left willingly, knowing he'd never win in a custody war.

For one, I cannot believe this bitch told her mother that Mason made a bigger sacrifice than her.

“You forced my father out of my life based on a hunch and threatened to use his own art against him. I’m fucking devastated for you, Mom. I really am. But it sounds to me like Mason made the bigger sacrifice.”


The heroine was so awful to her mother after everything she shared. Esp because mom's assumptions were correct & she was rightfully protecting her child, like tf? The heroine was acting like she hasn't been humping her father for the past three weeks🤨. I hated her in that moment.

“I just want to forget I ever knew any of it.” I sobbed into his chest.


I'm sorry hoe🙂 Didn't everyone warn you about a million times that you DON'T want to know the truth about your biological father? You have forced your mom to open up about her traumatic experience, invalidated everything she has ever sacrificed to protect you, and now you're acting like the victim? Fuck you.

She acted like her mother was crazy for being concerned about Mason's fixation and their relationship later on. Actually, they acted like them fucking each other was a completely healthy thing....are y'all dense?

I enjoyed the taboo aspect and the smut, but even I can accept the fact that fucking the girl you raised, the girl you consider your daughter is not bloody normal.

She would never understand our relationship. Most people wouldn’t. Our love wasn’t clear and crisp like a photograph. It was messy and abstract.


She did not just say their love is not "clear and crisp" enough to be accepted🤣🤣. "Most people wouldn't" well yea, no shit, you call the man whose dick is currently inside you "daddy" in the most literal sense. Talk about "Messy and abstract" . Just shut the hell up and own up to your pseudo-incestual tendencies, you fucking weirdos.

Yea the ending sorta ruined it all for me. I hate when clearly taboo couples/characters act clueless. Just accept and embrace it🤡

PS: H & h haven't seen eachother for 6 years. There was nothing inapropriate about their relationship before her father left. The sketches weren't sexual at all.

3 Unseemly Desire Stars ⭐

Oh Boy, I kind of feel as if I need a comfort blanket for this review.  You know when your angelic side is warring with your inner whore and you don’t know who is going to come out on top?  I get that I’m rambling but I kinda liked this book and I feel guilty…because this book is fucking wrong on so many different levels.

Firstly, let’s all read the authors warning together...

Please be aware that this novella contains detailed depictions of sexual activity within a highly taboo older man/younger woman relationship and the topic of sexual abuse.

Now let’s rip off the bandage…

This is a story of a girl that enters a sexual relationship with the man she once believed was her father.

And if you are still with me at this point…

Jetty is an 18-year-old girl searching for answers.  She has left home and is staying in New York to live with Mason Black who separated from her mother 6 years prior. Having recently discovered that Mason is not her biological father, she is hoping he will shed some light on who is. Over their shared love of art and newfound living arrangements, their relationship begins to shift.

This couldn’t be happening. It had to be a misfire, bad wiring, mistaken identity. My thoughts sprinted alongside my pulse, trying to make sense of my misplaced desire.

What can only be explained as inappropriate, both Mason and Jetty begin experiencing mutual desires that would certainly be frowned upon. 

For the life of me, I couldn’t drum up the words to tell him what I needed, all the things I wanted him to do to me. Shameful things. Unspeakable things. Nasty, dirty, forbidden things. Fortunately, some languages are universal.

Now at this point I was enjoying this story and squirming with how hot this book was and their little 'daddy' tryst. And then mummy dearest came to town. All of a sudden I felt kind of perturbed with the turn of events. Unfortunately my moral compass kicked in and my perverted joy fizzled.

Would I try this author again? Most definitely but this story just went a little too far for me. Trust me I'm shocked with myself considering my love of all things taboo!

Definitely one of my favorite reads!

I’ve read this book twice now and I’m pretty much obsessed. So, I’ll just go ahead and knock the stars up to a 5.


4.5 stars

Wow, meeting Mason feels intense and makes you feel vulnerable. You know he’s special and you’re lucky to get his attention, even if in passing.

Well that escalated quickly. I’d say he probably gave in too easily to her modeling. I think this was part of my problem with Sharing Noelle, we went too far, too fast. To where it didn’t feel realistic to me.

There’s just something about artists ... they get me every time. Cool with unwavering patience but an underlying fire of passion, maybe.

So many blurred lines in this one. And they’re so open about both roles they each played in their lives. It’s raw and uncomfortable but it’s true to them.

His art exhibition was powerful. I never felt these sketches were anything but pure love. It’s more about accepting when roles change.

"I don't know if I can get used to calling you Mason."
"So call me Dad—" His hazel eyes darkened as his mouth curled into another pulse-fluttering smile. "—or Daddy."

that line was when I knew I was in for a hell of a good time and said

This was short and to the point. I'm actually glad it was only 150 pages bc I don't like when these types of stories try to be something they're not. Just give me the smut I came for and let's keep it moving; don't try to make me feel anything other than horny and conflicted bc I can tell you up front you will not succeed

For some reason I was fine w her calling him Daddy, but when she would call him Dad I'd feel a little skeeved. I don't know why those two extra letters make all the difference but they do. I think it's bc at one point she really did believe this guy was her dad by blood, so when she'd say 'Dad' I'd just be like oop this just got too real again

description

It was all well and good until the heroine's mom came into town and dropped a bomb that just doused cold water all over this smut fest. And the ending art exhibit/marriage proposal made me soooo curious of the aftermath, I mean the statement those two things made together was .... bold, is the word I'll go with 😂

4 stars!!!!

That ending was the biggest “FU” I’ve ever read in a book. In a forbidden tale. In a taboo read.

This book takes a “disturbing” turn — depending on your moral standing — when homegirl and her dad figure are into daddy kink.

There was no drama, no OW (though baby girl was jealous of Mason’s “ex” model). The biggest drama issue in the plot was Jett’s biological dad and who he might be and of course, Jett’s need for sex.

It was a great read. Hella smutty. Hella forbidden and morally “wrong.”

3,5 stars. I think.

Wow, jeeez, what have I just read.
The writing was pretty good. The story... Well. It was disturbing and hot at the same time (yeah, that combination probably says something about me).
One should keep the mind wiiiiide open for this read as it will push on some hard limits for most.
I'm not even sure I want to write this review as I'm still a bit torn. But here I am.

3,5 stars? For the writing and for the art I guess.
Would definitely read more by the author, maybe something less disturbing.

Way to close to her real dad for my liking. But that's not why I gave it this rating. I felt disconnected from the main characters and it got worse as the story progressed... I just didn't care and I didn't even like the ending, which I found a bit ott.

After finishing this novella, this was my exact mood honey. I don't know how to write this review without any spoilers. Sigh.



"Something was seriously wrong with me."
TRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN.

This taboo filled book was FUN for me to read. I absolutely loved it. The teasing that led up to the sex was perfect. The chemistry between the two character's was very scalding. At a certain point I had to stand in front of the fan to cool off. You can't help but not get trapped in their world of desire and not have it affect you.

This Daddy was amazing in my eyes. Perverted and he loved his little girl, anyway he could have her. I was sold on their "relationship" at that point.
Jetty got herself a daddy and a lover, lucky girl.

ANNND then my passion simmered down when Jetty's mother found her and sprung information that made me go "WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT?"
It felt like it was borderline pedophilia behavior so she had to protect her daughter, so I get that.
We also learn that Jetty is a product of rape and incest. It was a lot packed into one scene.
My desires were promptly gone.
Having learned that the mother was raped as a little girl I definitely understood her pov in wanting to protect her daughter from Mason's red flag behavior. Triggering to say the least.

But then I felt like Jetty did not give a fuck about her mother and what happened to her

I felt like this was her reaction to her mother the entire time. She didn't even try to comfort or make amends. GRANTED she is young but still, where is that heart of yours?

I liked this little slice of taboo, I do recommend.

This one was so very taboo and oh so dirty in content.
its quite a short read, novella-length and centres on Jett and Mason after they both reconnect after six years apart.
Jett now 18 wants to know just why Mason exited her life six years ago.
She is also dealing with the bombshell that Mason is not actually her biological father as she's been led to believe.
So as I mentioned earlier dirty and taboo also sexy and sensual with a massive dash of the forbidden fruit, what I didn't find was dark despite the subject matter this contained.
This also wasn't that angsty either and I found it to be quite an easy read.
Overall I enjoyed this and I would definitely recommend this especially if you like age-gap romances, daddy kink or taboo reads, this one should tick all your boxes quite nicely.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Pretty, Dark and Dirty: A Forbidden Romance.

“I’d fallen in love with the man who was once my father”.

My disappointment is so real right now. I was so excited to go into this one because it was said to have DDLG elements and I’m absolute trash for that. Once I started reading though, I didn’t get what I was expecting.

I have no issues with taboo topics. Hell, I’m super intrigued by them. So where did this go wrong for me? I felt as if the author kept wanting to remind you that this was taboo. While reading I almost felt myself thinking ”okay, we get it”! There were so many scenes where Jett keeps saying how Mason was once her father and it low key felt like it was being forced down our throats.

Secondly, it really tries hard to be a deep book. Trigger warnings for talks of rape and I’m even going to say grooming. Even though I think Jett was 18, she still acted and thought like a child. With a childlike mentality, it really did feel like grooming and Jett refused to listen to reason about some of the good opinions about her relationship with Mason.

Maybe it’s because I was expecting a quick and smutty DDLG read and that’s why I’m so disappointed. I don’t know. What I do know is that some of this made me roll my eyes and also made me a little uncomfortable. While I did get a TINY bit of DDLG action, it wasn’t enough to make up for my disappointment in my time reading this book.

I received an ARC via the author for an honest review.

5/5 🌟 3.5/5 🔥

"I don't know if I can get used to calling you Mason."
"So call me Dad-" His hazel eyes darkened as his mouth curved into another pulse-fluttering smile. "-or Daddy."


This is the second time I've read this book and I loved it just as much as the first. I love dark, gritty, forbidden and taboo books - this one hit the spot for what I was craving at the moment!

The man who'd helped raise me was hard and there was no mistaking the cause. It was me.

Growing up, Jett thought Mason Black, a famous artist, was her father. He treated her as such, doted on her, had her on the weekends, and loved her. When she was 12, he took off without a word. Now, Jett is 18 and she just found out her "dad" isn't her real dad. She goes to Manhattan to confront Mason about it.

He's adorably excited to see her. The first day they're together there's an accidental kiss between them that sparks fantasies. Soon, he's drawing her like old times... yet, as he asked for the series he's working on, she's undressed, playing with herself, and Mason is almost unable to control himself as he's drawing her.

Without warning, he grasped my ankles, bent my knees, and spread my legs.
Last night's fantasies that felt far too much like memories flashed across my mind: the image of my father's hands gliding down to stroke my clit.


There's no OM/OW drama. Slight drama though- Jetty tries to figure out who her real father is when nobody is helping her. That causes a little tension.

Otherwise, this is an amazing, smutty read from Margot Scott. I hope she writes more with this trope! <3

"Jesus," he said with a smile, "my little girl's insatiable."
I bent to nibble his ear and whispered, "Just like her Daddy."


SAFETY:
Age: 18h, older H (I'm guessing late 30s, early 40's)
Cheating: none!
OM/OW drama: no. although h was jealous for a minute over H's model!
Virgin/celibate/manwhore: virgin heroine, unknown past for hero
Kinks: daddy kink, rough sex, exhibitionism
Tropes: forbidden love, dad/daughter (but not really)
Triggers: parental abandonment, dad/daughter but they find out they're really not related... but it's a big part of the story!
HEA?: yes!

The Title Says It All

This novella is aptly named. This story is sweet, loving, dark, twisted, heartbreaking, mortifying, and steamy. The love between two people is challenged and it morphs so many times that it can be dizzying. Yeah, I'd totally read this again. 😉

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.


UPDATED 12/2022:
I finally got around to reading the bonus scene. Very naughty and so hot!

JETT: I want you all to myself again as soon as possible.
MASON: I promise, as soon as we have the spot, I'll throw you over my shoulder and drag you back to my cave.
JETT: And what do you plan to do with me once we get there?
MASON: Unspeakable things.

This book didn't feel extreme but kind of half put out. I like daddy kink romances but this one made me uncomfortable.

Jett's feelings for the man who was her father since birth changing just the moment she sees him after six years is absolutely astonishing. She recently learned Mason is not her biological father. She feels hurt and betrayed. Mason doesn't creep me, he is borderline older and handsome hero. Their first meeting, their conversations, their relationship had me totally concentrated on the story. Their relationship and bonding was slow to progress. I like the story; their relationship struggle to be open and out in the world like normal people.

There is nothing dark in this book. The history of Jett's mother leading to Jett's birth has abuse and rape. There are scenes that may creep the readers, but you need to be open-minded when reading taboo. I don't know what would my thoughts define since I'm not liking the sudden feeling change between Mason and Jett. I don't mind age-gap nor the kink play. Two people in love finally together after a lot of struggle is heart breaking.

I enjoyed the story, the author superbly weaves us in her talented writing. I'll read more taboo books but this one didn't fit for me.

3.5-4 ”Jetty and Mason” stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In the end, maybe we were both monsters for wanting what was forbidden.

This book is by a new to me author. This year it seems I’m trying many new authors and so far I have been surprised by all of them and thoroughly enjoyed them. This one was just as good. I know this taboo romance isn’t for everybody. In the beginning I thought I wouldn’t enjoy them or it’ll creep me out, turns out I thoroughly liked it. I believe it can be very difficult to write a story like this since there are so many things that can go wrong.

We meet Jetty who goes in search of her real father when she finds out that the man she thought was her father her whole life was a complete lie. She has just gotten into art school and is planning to stay with mason to reconnect and also to find some answers, what she doesn’t expect is lusting after him and wanting him in a way which isn’t conventional.

My legs trembled. My lips parted. I moaned.
Daddy...
“Stop,” He rasped, his voice like honey comb dipped in gravel.


Mason feels the same too. He’s attracted to her. He’s always cared for her, protected her, sacrificed for her. He tries to deny himself from having her, thinking he’s a monster. His past is dark but he’s definitely the man for jetty. In the end, he realises he can’t give her up again and accepts his feeling. Jetty definitely played a great role in making him realise that what they were to each other was right.

”You’re my baby girl, Jetty,” he growled.
“No matter how big you get.”
“I’m yours , Daddy.” I moaned as the first wave of my orgasm hit. “I’m yours.”


There sexual chemistry was hot and sensual. It was beautiful how he handled her when she became his muse. This could have been a 5 star read but I felt some kind of connection missing between the two. It felt weird that just as she knew he wasn’t her real father, she started feeling all of these emotions towards him.

If you like steamy, taboo and mysterious romance, then check this out. ♥️

Right before I clicked ‘Currently Reading’ I had a moment of embarrassment at adding this book to my Goodreads. I love dark, smutty books but I’m not real familiar with anything labeled Taboo. I thought the worst, then I took a deep breath... and jumped into it, ready to test my comfort zones.

This might be a testament to the issues I have, or maybe it’s the authors ability to move me with her storytelling (much safer option) but... this wasn’t the shocker I was expecting. I knew going into it that Mason was not Jett’s real father, but I still expected the most taboo story. What I found was a situation that was handled with the most care. In the end, I don’t feel any more traumatized than I was to begin with. Sure, Mason, Jett and her mother are a Jerry Springer episode waiting to happen. But Scott managed to move my POV from a dirty, shameful one to a more ‘they were obviously soulmates’.

And that ending! 😂😂😂Its amazing what can be enjoyed in a fictional world.

3.50 stars for the story
+.50 stars for the authors ability to gain my support in her character’s taboo relationship.

Sometimes, when I start to read a ‘Daddy’ book I cringe. I can usually tell in the first paragraph or two whether I’m going to like it or not.
I love my Daddy books but I have certain requirements…

It must be classy while still being naughty.

There must be a good back story for me to see into the characters personalities and reasons.

It has to make me feel naughty and dirty but not have me scrunching my face up and thinking “Eeew”.

It has to be sexy AF but still involve deep feelings.

It has to make me question my morals...just a wee bit, lol.

It has to make me want them to be together, not “Get out of there, girl!”.

So as you can see, I’m hard to please when it comes to this genre.
Luckily for me, and you, Margot Scott pulls this off wonderfully.
I really didn’t want to put the book down!

JETTY

From the very start, I was quite taken with Jetty. I loved watching her feelings change and grow. Her back story is a little sad.

Basically, her daddy left when she was 12 years old and she never saw him or heard from him again. She was gutted as she was extremely close to him. Like, the sun shone out of his rear, kind of close, lol.

Anyway, she was angry with him and hurt. A few months ago she finds his number in her mum’s stuff and contacted him.

Her mum found out and shit hit the fan. Mum dropped the bomb that he wasn’t her biological father and hoped that was enough to stop Jetty from wanting to meet up with him.
I’ll be honest, I was extremely curious as to why her mum was freaking out. It kept me speed reading, lol.
I needed to know what the bigger picture was here.

MASON

Mmm...yes please, Daddy!
This man is all kinds of yummy!

He’s not proud of the way he walked out of Jetty’s life six years ago but he won’t tell her why!
He won’t even tell her who he suspects her biological father is, which drove me nuts! (in a good way, lol).

Like I said my curiosity was piqued and I didn’t want to put the book down until I figured it out.
He wants Jetty...but he knows he shouldn’t. He wants the best for her but he’s not sure if he can keep away.

Their relationship is most definitely going to trigger some people.
Even I had a raised eyebrow at times. I had to stop and ask myself, “Do I actually find this wrong? Is this too much?”.

And the answer was no. I think Margot Scott managed to get just the right amount of dirty, sexy and shocking thoughts/feelings.

Don’t get me wrong, it is most definitely taboo but (in my opinion, anyway) not to the “Ick” extent.
The only thing I will say though is that I wish we had seen things from Mason’s POV. I was desperate to get in his head and know what he was thinking and feeling.


SEX SCENES

Well, as Jetty was a virgin, these scenes were all about the exploration and firsts.
That alone always turns me on.
The Daddy talk was extra icing on the kinky cake, lol. Check it out.

I met his thrusts with my own, rocking my hips in time with his fingers. “Daddy?”I never thought I’d be the type to get off on baby talk, but straddling my long-lost father’s lap with his fingers inside me, those were the only words that seemed to fit. His cock throbbed in my palm. “Yeah, sweetheart?” “Promise you’ll stay this time... Promise you won’t go.” “Neither of us are going anywhere, Jetty.”He kissed my face gently, all the while fucking into our joined fists. “You’re my little girl. I’m going to take damn good care of you.” “Promise me, Daddy.” “I promise,” he said. “Daddy loves you, Jetty.”


FINAL THOUGHTS on Pretty, Dark & Dirty by Margot Scott

I can not deny that this is extremely taboo. Or that it had me questioning my moral compass at times.
There were moments where it was almost too much. I mean, this is the man that raised her for most of her life.
But, neither could I deny that it turned me on. Is that messed up? Maybe. Do I care? No.

I was on the fence about this one. Does it deserve 2 stars or 3. And my low rating is not due to the forbidden aspect of the story. I couldn't care less about that plot.
It's just, the story was eventful and not that well written. It's a plain erotica with no romance and sometimes no sense.

Till the day I die, I still think that the most romantic forbidden story that will put your morals at stake is "Forbidden" by Tabitha Suzuma.

As a reader this was my first taboo novel , by moments this book scared the S*hit out of me , but then I remind myself what kind of book i was reading and once that happened OH GOD WHAT A GREAT TIME I HAVE.

The chemistry was on point , Jett and Manson had an interesting road together , I believed their connection , I enjoyed their conversations and the sex was ON POINT 🔥 Definitely going to check more of the author.

Es ameno, tiene buenas escenas de pasión y es sencillo de leer en inglés, el único fallo es el modo en el que juega con su tema tabú. Lo adquirí en promoción porque estuvo unos días gratis en Amazon y me dio curiosidad. La base de la trama no me espantó, sabía lo que iba a encontrar porque leí la sinopsis y las advertencias de la propia autora, pero creo que no supo aprovechar la idea.

Jett tiene 18 años. Mason es el hombre con el que creció y al que consideraba su padre biológico. Cuando Jett tenía 12 años, Mason se marchó y cortó el contacto con ella. Sin embargo, ahora ha descubierto que él no era realmente su padre y quiere enfrentarlo. Tras dar con él, se reencuentran y Jett se da cuenta de que él la atrae de un modo que no esperaba...

En base a unos comentarios de los personajes, calculo que Mason tiene en la actualidad 37-38 años, así que, aunque haya una diferencia de edad, pues tampoco es que sea tan amplia como para que Mason no pueda despertarle atracción sexual a Jett. Y teniendo en cuenta que ella lo vio por última vez con 12 años, me puedo creer que no tenga demasiados recuerdos de él ejerciendo de padre y que por eso no lo vea como una figura paterna. Siendo ella mayor de edad y teniendo en cuenta que no hay parentesco real, no hay nada ilegal en una posible relación entre ellos. Y no os estoy spoileando nada porque Jett sabe que él no es su padre desde que empieza el libro. Si hablamos del aspecto moral, eso ya es más complicado. Hasta los 12 años, Mason fue a ojos de todo el mundo el padre de Jett, incluso él mismo creía serlo y Jett lo veía como tal. Por eso, desarrollar otro tipo de sentimientos podría ser considerado raro, aunque si el asunto hubiera estado bien trabajado hubiera sido genial.

Son poco más de 150 páginas y hay bastante dinamismo en las escenas, así que se lee rápido. Lo que no entendí es la razón por la que la autora se empeñaba en que los acontecimientos se fueran dando con tanta rapidez y que en un abrir y cerrar de ojos los protagonistas ya tuvieran el calentón del siglo. Un poco de amor a fuego lento hubiera estado bien y hubiera dotado de credibilidad y profundidad su relación.

Los instantes ardientes son buenos, es innegable el deseo que consume a Jett y a Mason y se mezcla correctamente la dulzura con la pasión arrasadora. Hay también una dosis de drama cuando se quiere introducir un tema serio que amenaza con manchar lo que Mason ha hecho, lo que pasa es que chirría y queda forzado porque se mezclan asuntos que no son exactamente iguales.

Lo que no me convenció, y fue como un jarro de agua fría, fue el hecho de que Mason y Jett quisieran seguir manteniendo el rol de padre e hija y, al mismo tiempo, el de pareja. Uff, lo siento, pero me causaba rechazo que ella le dijera daddy a cada rato y que él la tratara más de una vez como si fuera una cría. Lo de Mason es verdad que era algo más bien ocasional, pero Jett sí que recalcaba bastante lo de que también lo consideraba su padre. Puedo tener la mente abierta, pero no tanto.

A pesar de que el final fue apresurado, admito que lo ocurrido era lo esperable. En general, lo que más me molestó fue lo mencionado en el párrafo anterior. Daba por hecho que la novela no iba a dar muchas sorpresas a nivel argumental, por eso no le critico que fuera previsible.

La puntuación real sería un 2,5/5. Redondeo al alza porque sería hipócrita si negara que, a lo tonto, me enganché a la lectura. Y no me disgustaba la pareja, lo que pasa es que les faltó desarrollo.

I actually could not bring myself to rate this book... It's a taboo novella that honestly made me feel quite uncomfortable and I'm not one to shy away from the taboo or forbidden smut stories. But the fact that the h's love interest was known to her, for the past 18 years, as her FATHER kind of threw me off this one. The fact that he wasn't her bio-dad but raised her as such and then to still have the "daddy kink" to it just did not do it fore me. Just a nope on this one.

Unusual and precious, this Daddy story goes beyond what I expected. It is written with elegance and emotion, and it is capable of dealing with a pretty much forbidden theme in a touching way.

Family secrets, art, taboo love and eroticism mingle in this romance between estranged father and daughter. Or so they seem. The female character has many questions about her origins but also about why her father left her when she was still young.

The reunion after years plunges them in the middle of unresolved feelings, devastating truths and a connection that explodes as much in their bodies as in their hearts. It's not an easy tale, but it is presented with respect towards all characters involved, and it deals with their needs, their flaws, and their undeniable bond despite convention.

It is beautiful because there’s real love, real struggle to connect past and present and how those have changed them in fundamental ways. I loved the art. The happy ending is very welcome too.

Very intense and recommended to the bold palates and hearts, but be warned that this more of a dark and alternate romance than a cuddly D/l one.

I'm very conflicted about this book. It's really playing around the taboo lines and I'm sure some people are going to be so bothered by it.



My god, I'm going too deep into this book. And I love dubious consent books. Maybe I just need to read more books by this author to get her sense of writing. For now, I'll just stick to the middle and give this book 3 stars. Not because it was good or bad, but because I don't know how else to rate this book.

Erotically delicious, filthy dark, push all your buttons …. Romance? Maybe. I’m not quite set on what to call it, but I can tell you that the title of the book does not lie. This is an age-gap story at its base. That will automatically categorize it as taboo and forbidden. It is all that and a heck of a lot more! It is pretty, it is dark, and it is dirty. Do not expect anything less and do not assume it is anything other than that.

I’m not going to go thru plot points with you, but if you’re new to the world of dark and twisted stories, you might not want to start with this one. This story delves into some serious issues that could possibly be a trigger for a lot of readers but I shouldn’t even have to tell you that because if you do have triggers, you shouldn’t even be looking at these types of stories so …..

For me, this story was pretty much exactly what I expected based on the cover, title and synopsis and I enjoyed the heck out of it. I love age gap story-lines and this one was completely on point. The level of depth the story carried was unexpected and it pleased me. I got a delicious age gap story with depth and growth of the characters. It was a win/win for me. I'll be looking into reading more from this author for sure!

OMGGGGG. I cannot say enough good things about this unbelievably sexy novella. My only issue I had is that it wasn’t a full length because I am salivating for more Jetty and Mason. This book is everything I want in a forbidden, taboo romance. A protective, possessive alpha and a shy yet sassy heroine wanting to do whatever it takes to break him. I swooned, I died all the deaths, and the words almost set my kindle on fire. Holy Margot Scott can write! I loved her words and how she sets a scene. My first read by this author, but def not my last!
