Pretty Things

BODHI: I like to wear pretty things, but I hate that they cost me my brother. My twin. My other half. I hate HIM. Kai. I hate him so hard. And I especially hate the way he mocks me by leaving me presents, like the one I find waiting for me on our eighteenth birthday and can’t resist trying on...

KAI: When our parents split up, the only way I could protect Bodhi from our dad’s fucked-up attitude about all the pretty things he likes was to temporarily cut him out of my life. It killed me to do it, but it would have hurt more to let him hear the things Dad said about him. But now it’s finally time to get my brother back.

I’ve been planning it for years, but there was no way I could have planned for how I'd feel when I walked in on Bodhi all dressed up in the lingerie I’d given him. I just wanted to be with my twin again, but now I want so much more.

I want to make him my girl.

I want to love him the way a brother shouldn’t.

And I never, ever want to let him go.

PRETTY THINGS is a 35,000 word dirty af little whirlwind of a twincest story. Feminization? Yes, bitch. HEA? You know it. A dirty gay cumtastic brother sex-a-thon? Oh honey, if that’s what you’re looking for, then ditch your panties and come along for the ride, because Mama has exactly what you’re looking for...

⭐ 1.6 “After 84 years, I have finally found a story that had me cringing” stars ⭐

This is not a small task, considering the trash high-quality literature I consume on the regular. But I guess it’s true what they say about limits… even in fiction (aka erotica in this case), everyone has them.

It just took me more than a decade as a reader to find mine.

description
And I know, I’m shocked too.

*********************************

WARNING: This review will discuss feminization, twincest, and ridiculous unnecessary plot-ridden erotica. If any of the above makes you uncomfortable, turn around and save yourself the mental images.

*********************************


First of all, can we all agree that the cover is nightmare-inducing… and the model eerily resembles Dennis from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia?

description
The gif above: both evidence of the resemblance and my honest-to-god feelings about this atrocity of a cover.

It’s clearly a Choice™ —that makes me deeply disturbed and gives me the faint vibes that I’m about to be harassed. So even before opening the book, I was already off to a great start.

Yet I firmly do believe in going out of my comfort zone when it comes to reading. Since I consider it a safe way to explore boundaries, understand what works for me and what doesn't, it’s a method I employ as much for “regular” fiction as for the erotica I consume. There's always a new kink-related book that catches my eye and has me going “why the hell not?” before I impulsively pick it up.

This, in case it wasn’t already evident, was one of those occasions…

description
My morbid curiosity is both a gift and a curse. In this case, I'm leaning towards Avada Kedavra.

While I’m not averse to feminization or 'cesty taboo goodness (I have both a kink and forbidden shelf respectively for a reason), it didn’t take me too many pages to figure out the way this author chose to go about it just wasn't hitting it right for me 💀

Turns out, lingerie on men? Gimme. Makeup? Please, I live for that shit. Regular feminization, with nicknames, pronouns, and the whole shebang? Life is too short not to indulge.

What I did proceed to find out, however, was that for me the line is drawn at using the term “boy pussy” to unironically refer to an asshole. I TRIED to get behind this I swear, attempted not to shudder and grimace, but the word usage paired with the dirty talk of dubious quality was so cringey, I was seriously considering amazon-next-day-shipping a chastity belt to myself. ‘Cause pardon my crassness, but this “girl pussy” was as dry as the Sahara.

So, indeed...

description
The vibe check was simply not cleared.

Nonetheless, my dislike it's not even solely due to the kink either —although again, chances are I will still wake up at 3 am hearing someone whispering “boy pussy” while sleep paralysis keeps me spasming in terror.

Truthfully, most of my rating comes from the story for this hundred-page smutfest having NO business being this convoluted. From estranged twins reconnecting (and subsequently fucking), to parental divorce and settlement drama, to one of the twins becoming a professional hacker and committing fraud to steal from their homophobic father —I shit you not —, switching to dramatic and improbable confrontations about 80% in (which ended with the hacker MC pretty much assaulting their father), and, finally, the twins eloping from home to live in their own incestual version of a HEA.

description
My undiluted reaction.

I can’t even write an essay while listening to music with lyrics and these guys were going through all of that and still scheduling in an active sex life. Pass me the multitasking sauce, please 🤲

But back on topic, while I might refuse to judge porn for not appealing to my personal preferences, it was the implementation of the equivalent of unskippable ads via forced storylines that truly tanked this one.

As for anyone who happens to be interested in erotica including feminization and incest (all three of you reading this review), I much rather recommend Robyn: Force To Be Their Sister by Sadie Sins. No mentions of boy pussies or, perhaps even more horrifyingly, winking holes take place there.

Plus, that one also has four brothers. Therefore fourth times the incest. And a good dose of dub-con, for those readers just as perverted as me. If you're going taboo, might as well go in with a bang...

description
I can hear the sirens already. Take me to the pun jail, Mr. Officer.

In the meantime, if I’m asked about my latest reads in real life, you better believe I’m skipping mentioning this one real quick. Erotica? Feminization? Twincest?! I can’t read all of a sudden 👩‍🦯👩‍🦯

And to everyone else, do remember...

So let’s earnestly strive to keep GR snitch-free. 'Cause I know what you have all been reading lately, and none of us are innocent in this hellsite!

First off, this is super steamy, sweet and of course deliciously depraved.

On the other hand I was irked with their fighting at the beginning, it’s not that I didn’t feel it was necessary, that’s obvious. I just didn’t think it was done very well because instead of feeling Bodhi’s anger I was annoyed with him. I should’ve been on his side but I just wanted him to shut up and listen.

But then I felt like the 180 between beloved brothers to taboo lovers was far too quick. This is where I wanted my angst, there should’ve been more questionable thoughts before the decision to just be forever lovers.

Yeah, I know this is a novella, so probably not enough time for all that but that was the writer’s choice and I felt like I was deprived the drama which would lead to emotional attachments to these characters.

Because now, while I think it’s sexy, I don’t care where it leads to.

And how many times are we gonna use the word fuck? Believe me I’m no saint in the cursing department but can we at least choose a different word and also use it so it’s grammatically correct? Btw I never judge a book by it’s editing errors because shit happens, but damn.

I’m disappointed because this could’ve been so much better if the writer focused more time on the build up and less on overly long teasing/sex scenes. I could see the emotions she wanted us to feel but it just fell short.

Reread Count #1

I’ve missed my dose of Chara Croft :P
wow, back to one of my fave brocest since I haven’t been into any tabooness lately. anyway, obviously the experience is different now, I lowered my ratings because a lot part of the story didn’t live up to my expectations - why did i put this under “mindblown sex” and “best tops” shelves ? and the beginning was full of hate, I did realize that before, but now somehow, it’s overwhelming. maybe my taste was more vanilla before and I totally didn’t care about the plot whatsoever.

I still liked it, still hot? yes. a lot of things I thought I liked before don’t exactly deliver now. I still love them together. one of twincest couple that manage to stuck with me. I shouldn’t have come back because the first time was ahmazing lmao

Ehhhh. Calling his dick slit a clit & his butthole a boy pussy had me cracklin but I wasnt into it, I love the gayness in MM so femme men arent my thing. I honestly felt a wee bit bad for Bodhi and had mixed feelings if he was even into it.
Still grossly cute twincest tho 💚

-Taboo....brother’s being together -

2.5 stars

The sex scenes seemed to go on forever. And I wasn’t feeling all the dirty talk. In the beginning yes. Then it just got weird.

Clit was used a lot for Bodhi’s penis. Tits for his chest. And Pussy for his anus.

“You want me to suck on other things, too? Go down on you? Suck that clit until you scream?”

“wrapping his legs around me to get more friction on that pretty cock-I-mean-clit of his,“

“I’m going to keep on rubbing your clit just like this, baby—”

I mean the first time Kai Called Bodhi anus a pussy. I was like ok. But then he kept calling it a pussy. And I wasn’t feeling it. I just hate when they call it pussy in books.

“—and I’m going to lick your tight little pussy until it’s wet and ready for my cock,”

“Want my mouth on your pussy? On your tight little hole?“

This was my least favorite line in this book.

“I was humping against his ass like a crazed dog responding to a bitch in heat.“

I wouldn’t even like to read that line in a MF book.

I mean... overall this was a quick fast read. I was expecting a little more of a story between the brothers having been separated for a couple of years. A build up to the point of them being together would’ve been nice.
This is my 4th book I think... I’ve read by this author. I’ll still check out her other books.

twincest, verbal feminization, more sex than plot 🧐
It was an okay read. I wasn't expecting much plot, so that was okay. What plot there is, encloses the sex scenes quite decent. There aren't that many sex scenes per se, they are just so drawn out that they fill the whole book.
The twincest theme is quite well designed, it was refreshing that Bodhi and Kai care little about what those around them think of them.
I hate the epilogue. I don't think it really fits into the whole thing, but that's probably because there are so few pages, with more content you might have been able to better portray the obsession that Kai develops...

Hot yet boring twincest. The storyline dragged even though it was a short read.

Pretty Things
By Chara Croft

Bodhi and Kai are identical twins who have been estranged since their parents divorce. Bodhi lives with his mother to avoid his father's cruel words and taunts about his being gay. Kai lives with his father hurting deeply because Bodhi no longer wants to have anything to do with him. He would do anything to protect his twin including gathering dirt on their father for revenge.

Bodhi is sweet, introverted, a gay femme, and a bit bitter by his brother's betrayal. Kai is straight, masculine, dominate, and overprotective of his twin. It was neat to see two polar opposites in the sexual spectrum love each other as they do. (Though apparently Kai isn't as straight as he thought.)

Most of the book is sexual with a lot of feminization of Bodhi (by his own choice.) So there's a ton of sex. Given taboo relationships between brothers, step-brothers, and twins is Chara Crofts specialty it's no surprise how much I enjoyed it.

This was a solid 3*. Chemistry was solid. The plot held together as well as it needed to. The lingerie and exploration of Bohdi’s feminine side were well done.

The only things that I didn’t like were that the scenes got a bit repetitive, and that these two dingdongs did not have any idea how long a genital piercing takes to heal. I had my suspicions when they were playing with the month old bellybutton ring. I’m glad the book ended before I got confirmation, and in my mind they had an experienced piercer who explained everything and they decided to get matching tattoos instead.

Everything Chara Croft writes just jumps off the page sizzling. I really enjoyed reading this and expanding into the taboo reads of MM. I enjoy feminization, especially willing feminization, such as using gender bending terms and all the outfits. Definitely makes me want to read more along these lines!

Ummm yeah no thanks. Femme guys 🙌🏻 totally cool with that. Referring to a dudes hole as a “bussy”, cool with that too. Repeatedly referring to this dude anatomy with female terms…couldn’t get past that. Sorry 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sizzle-tastic taboo is Miss Chara’s jam.  Bohdi and Kai are supremely delicious and this book is such a great delve into slutty feminisation where love and trust bloom.

3.5 stars

I’m conflicted about rating this because I absolutely loved the plot (twins that get separated during their parents divorce and seem to hate each other because of this) but the execution left me wanting.

I would say the first 50% of the book was excellent. But once they manage to get out of their dad’s condo and go back to their mum’s , it just gets boring. I know it’s supposed to be just smut but the pace was so slow! Like they take 10+ pages just to fuck because of all the internal dialogue going on.

Regarding the feminisation, not a massive fan myself but I didn’t mind it too much. My main hungups were about the words pussy, clit and tits. I read MM for a reason, so not sure I’ll choose this kind of story going forwards. The twin thing though? Hell yeah. I’m twisted like that.

2.75 stars?

This was pretty much 95% smut, which in the first half of the book was not a bad thing at all. Kai and Bodhi were hot as heck together. But the second half was redundant and drawn out. Overall, it was a read I needed though. I haven't had time to finish a book in about a week so this was an easy one to count as a "light read."

"You can be a girl. My girl. Do you want that, baby? Do you want to be my pretty girl? Let me love you the way everyone will say a brother shouldn't?"

This was all kinds of taboo dirty... pure smut...

Unfortunately.... I hate when the sex is 20+/- pages for dragged on dialogue (internal or otherwise), and this story took it to the max... I am pretty sure if you’re damn brain is so damn horny that you can’t speak coherently, you should not be able to write a damn essay with your internal dialogue...

The end.

Hot af but also got annoyed with the OTT dirty talk after a while. As one other reviewer said, if I wanted some of those words, I'd be reading mf instead of mm.

I love me some Chara Croft brocest but there was something about this one that I didnt jive with. I think it was because they were newly turned 18 and yet acted like they were older. Or maybe it was the fact that they went 2 years without talking to each other? Or that one brother wasnt even gay? I dunno but man was the feminization seemed like the only reason one brother was interested.

This isn't going to be for everyone. On top of twincest you have men's lingerie, feminization of male genitalia, and whatever else I missed. Instant favorite, scorching hot.
“You like that, pretty thing?” I asked, pinching his nipples between my fingers as I played the silk over the hard little nubs, squeezing my thighs around his hips and grinding down on him. “Like having your tits touched like this? Does it make you wet for me? You like feeling my cock on your clit?”
The twins have been victims of their parents nasty divorce for the past 2 years but on their 18th birthday, without parental input, they come together.
“It’s our birthday. I’m going to make you come so many times your balls will hurt, baby brother,” he promised, winking at me and folding his arms under his head like some kind of calendar pin-up model
The dirty talk is scorching hot. Did I mention this book is hot?
“You want me inside you, Bodhi? That what you need from your big brother right now?”
He panted out a desperate-sounding “yes” and I slid my zipper down one-handed, keeping the delicate, lacy strap of his thong out of my way with the other.
This book is so freaking hot I could quote the whole thing.

I grabbed my cock and lined it up and—sweetbabyJesusholyfuckingballs—pushed it into his pussy. Just the tip. Just… the fucking… tip
The ending with the piercings is so hot, their first time is hot. them together, all of it.

I love me some taboo MM books so I had to pick this one up. I can’t resist the twincest. My only complaint is that Kai’s attraction to Bodhi seemed to come out of nowhere. It just popped up as soon as he saw him in lingerie on the morning of their birthday. But he’s seen him in “pretty things” before so why was this time different? Bodhi also didn’t seem to have any of those feelings previously either... in fact, he actually hated his brother because he thought he overheard him saying he was “disgusting and deviant” or whatever referring to his love of makeup and lingerie. The whole thing was a misunderstanding that went on for over 2 years. But in one day it was forgotten.

I didn’t really mind the whole pussy, clit, tits reference to Bodhi, calling him a girl. If that’s what he likes it’s all good with me. It wasn’t used as a way for a straight Kai to pretend he was with a girl. It was because Bodhi had said he wished he was a girl, then got all hot and bothered when Kai called him and his parts all of those things. As long as they both enjoy it, go for it I say.

Still, I was wishing for more of a “I’ve loved you slash been in love with you for years” sort of thing. I guess I got the love at the end though which I’m happy with.

3.5⭐️ for this one.

Ok I am loving these taboo novellas by this author. They’re different, interesting, fast-paced, and most definitely taboo. They’re also both hot and sweet and the dirty talk is *chef’s kiss*. This one did not disappoint. I’ve read one other book with feminization kink before and didn’t care for it, so I was hesitant to read this. I was surprised by how much I liked it in this. It was interesting and different and well written and hot. I liked both of the MMCs and felt their connection and attraction to each other. I also loved how into wearing lingerie and “pretty things” one of the MMCs was and how the other MMC was also into it and supportive. For some reason, I really like when MMCs are into lingerie. It’s refreshing. And I’m all for normalizing all genders wearing lingerie, not just those who identify and present as female. Overall, this was a fun read. Yes, it was bonkers just like the other novellas by this author I’ve read. But it was entertaining, well written, and kept my attention. And anything that keeps my attention these days I consider a win lol.😊

This is a taboo read. Twins who are separated when their parents divorce and they both think the other hates them. One twin is gay and loves "pretty things" like lingerie. The other twin is "straight" - or so he thinks until he sees his twin in some pretty things. This one is a bit different from other twin reads - a sneak peek....

“You want that, sweetheart? Want my mouth on your pussy? On your tight little hole? Getting it all wet so I can find out just how tight you are when I push my cock inside it and fuck you right through this mattress?”

“Bodhi was my twin, my girl, my everything. I needed to stop fucking second-guessing myself and trust that I’d always know what he needed… and right now, he needed me to fill his hot little boy-pussy with my cock and prove to him that he was every one of those things.”

twincest is wincest.
OH. MY. GOD. guilty pleasure at its finest. quite frankly, this book had everything i love. it delivered on exactly eveything i wanted. excelled every expectation i had. no matter what anyone says in the reviews, if you are sane, you should know what you're getting into from the description. i will never understand why people complain about the... unethical? shocking? (for the lack of better word) contents of a book, when it is specified right there.
but i digress. fantastic. i've heard great things about croft, and saw their books in multiple lists, and they didn't disappoint.
absolutely hot and dangerously sexy. as someone who often seeks out AND creates taboo, "dead dove" content, this was *chefs kiss*.
my only critique is that i wish the attraction between bodhi and kai was something that bloomed with time and not bc of their 2-year separation. idk. i think the anguish of becoming attracted from childhoof to your twin is entertaining haha!
also, the writing was pretty cute and quirky, in avery gen z, juvenile way. while not being the next literary masterpiece, i quite enjoyed the writing. it definitely scratched a twisted itch that i've had for a while now!

This book was okay. There were parts that really annoyed me. All the talking just to get to the actual sex, seriously? I understand the mind chatter and questioning one's self, but the same questions over and over again, from one to another, when it's obvious they are both into it and know each other well, as they are twins. Also, while I understand many of these stories are written for cis women, as a gay man, hearing the inner dialogue about whether calling a dick a clit and a butt hole a pussy was also annoying. I understand it in verbal communication, from one to another, but not brought up numerous times in inner chatter, as if that is a serious concern when a guy's dick is hard as a rock and ready to be used. One explanation is enough, but what do I know?
