More than a Crush

In His Custody

Rate this book
When London is released from juvenile hall, a tall, raspy-voiced stranger greets her outside, intending to bring her home.

Police captain Brody claims to be her mother’s new husband...and though London has never met the man, she’s released into his custody. The hardened officer is determined to set London on the right path in her mother’s absence. While London rebels at first, his brand of discipline is too pleasurable to deny. And soon they’re giving in to the blistering heat generating between them.

But things aren’t always what they seem. London might have just met her stepfather, but he’s known her for a long, long time…

Tho this screams "my type", my kink, Taboo and guilty pleasure but it wasn’t fully pulling me in , as much as I wished it would


The beginning was so bizarre and creepy + pedophile-ish in a way that I wouldn’t like to explain 😑 (and it is coming from someone who lives for age-gap trope and toxic, problematic male leads 👀)

I think it’s my first stepfather-stepdaughter taboo read, may be that's why I wasn’t feeling it?
But you know what? I am gonna try this type of trope again to test the water properly ✔️

London (h) is too dumb for my liking 😆

In The smut parts whenever Daddy Dearest called himself stepfather I am like



Let's just say I've read better books than this one from JK

But you gotta read it if want some inspiration to workout 🙊, also I can't unsee the way Brody took care of London, protected her, pushed her in the right direction
And my ladies -

If my man can’t squat while holding me in front of him…

Well then is he even working on his legs? Is he even worth my time?💅

Ah Jessa Kane. I just can’t get enough- her books are the perfect palate cleansers. If it didn’t have such a big age gap, I would’ve loved this more (and if the H hadn’t married the h’s mom…😅 don’t worry. No smexxxy times have ever happened for them).

London (18) just got out of juvie… and guess who picks her up? Her brand new stepfather Brody (late 30s)- who’s ex-military and currently the police captain. Since London was 15, she’s gotten into trouble; it all stems from the fact that her mom tends to pawn her off to whoever can take care of her. So she acted out. But Brody isn’t gonna allow that anymore.

In fact, he’s gonna set her straight- and he’s not opposed to… ahem… sp@nk!ng her to do it 😅😉. Their first smexxy scene involves some very short shorts, a crop top, and a sweaty very fit man working on his fitness- with his step daughter as his added weight 🔥🥵.

As usual, JK delivers when it comes to STEAM🔥. And the dirty mouth on her Hs are always 🤌🏻. This one has some daddy k!nk in it too- and Brody is OTT JP when it comes to London. He can’t even stand other guys looking at her. And considering there are always men looking, he isn’t opposed to… ahem… claim his property in front of anyone 😅🥵. Plus, he makes sure to fill her up with his s€€d to ensure no one misunderstands she’s his.

I really enjoyed this one! HEA and a cute, very CLAIMY epilogue lol.

⚠️ safety squad⚠️
-no cheating/sharing/omd/owd (I’ll explain this one)
-although the H married the h’s mother, he never smexxed her. In fact, the mom knows from the get-go that H wants the h (considering he’s been spying on her while she was in juvie… and taking her… um… delicates… and… inhaling them). She married H for his health insurance
-daddy kink/spanking/hair pulling/biting
-virgin h/H has probably been celibate since seeing the h and becoming obsessed with her
-no condom

Just your typical love story of cop marrying girl so he can move in on her daughter. You know, same old, same old.

Classic Lolita move, marry the mother just to get closer to the daughter. At least this one is legal ... barely.

Obsession is synonymous with teenagers. So, it makes sense that JK likes to pair her stalkers with them.

The real question... Why are they so enjoyable? Why is anything taboo enjoyable. I suppose the call of the forbidden is too strong.

I like her H’s because they remind me of alpha shapeshifters, I miss those books, I should really go back. It’s not always great but sometimes all that ‘MINE! MINE! MIBE!’ Hits just the right spot.

And this short little read didn’t disappoint.

Anything taboo I've an obsession to read them. So when Jessa Kane gave us a quick taboo/forbidden romance of a cop who is absolutely authoritative and commited to his naughty, rebellious step-daughter I was curious. The hero is obsessive, possessive and very pursuant.

'The young blonde troublemaker I’ve been fantasizing about for months walks out of the juvenile detention center and stops abruptly, cocking a light brow behind her sunglasses.'

"Who are you?”
“Your stepfather. Brody."

Brody, former Army captain turned police chief has been smitten and obsessed of London since the moment he saw her picture. He was charmed.
London has been in and out of juvenile detention. Having been neglected by her mother and no father she is vulnerable and unable to trust anyone. When her mothers current 'husband' starts controlling her who is firm and very caring she was overwhelmed.

“Oh yeah?” She unhooks her seatbelt and turns, coming to her knees on the passenger seat. Placing her hand on my thigh, she presses her open mouth into my neck. “I could seduce you.” She’s trembling like a leaf. “Bet my mother wouldn’t take too kindly to her new husband lusting after her daughter.”
My cock almost breaks my zipper. “And you would tell her, is that right?” I manage.
“Every detail. So I g-guess you better stay away,” she purrs, her hand sliding to my inner thigh and inching higher. “Keep a heathy distance, Brody. I’m bad news.”
“Oh yeah?” I turn my head, bringing our mouths less than an inch apart, watching her cornflower-blue eyes widen. “You ride good cock, little girl?”
She gulps. “The best.”

London is a pakage of innocence and sassiness. Trying to tackle her mistrust she tries to open herself beyond her conflictions. I love military soldiers, Brody definitely fits that catagory but I would love a big story of his war days. Brody's possessiveness went a bit more to obsessiveness when he began tracking and monitoring London's moves.

'This guy doesn’t look at me like everyone else.
Like I’m just another screw up who will end up with nothing. A nowhere life.
His expression is…optimistic. That’s not something I’ve had associated with me before.
It’s dangerously close to hope.'

Yes this story is sweet and absolutely heart-warming. The trouble maker finally gets a firm hand.

"Fuck. You can’t help it, can you? Born to make me fucking crazy, weren’t you, little girl? Parading this pussy around and daring me to take it. I will. I’ll have it so many times, you’ll ask me for permission to take a piss.”

There is crudeness and the story is so hot. It's a daddy kink romance with undeniable attraction and dirtyness-galore!

Damn, I see many of my friends adored it... And I'm kinda torn.
Because if one sees it as a sex fantasy, then it's totally hot and everything, Kane can do smut like nobody's business. But because it's presented as a story of two people, I can't get past all the crazy inappropriate everything. There were so many pet peeves of mine, I've lost count.

Let me tell you, I'd buy any plot if it'd make sense within the world built in the book, but it wasn't the case here.

Guess such stories make sense if characters playing a scene (or several) gets revealed at the end. Because I can't really get past everything that was wrong with the hero (apart from the hotness. his hotness was top notch).

Oh maybe I'm just boring.

Stalker and obsession, much? Yes, please. Jessa Kane is one of my favorite smut authors.


Brody first fell in love and has an unhealthy obsession with stepdaughter from a photo on London’s mother's phone. London, who is in Juvie and on the wild side, the day of her release Brody picks her. London had no clue who he is and the depths of how he plotted and planned to claim her as his. Did I mention Brody is a police officer actually, the chief of police? Hot as hell. When they first meet, it’s instant lust/love.

Stepfather/ Stepdaughter is one of my favorite forbidden treats. Now add a stalker, alpha male, and you have a smash hit. I love the sexual chemistry between the two and how their obsession and line made them strong as a couple.

Jessa Kane writes some of the flight sex scenes, and thank you for that. Panty-Melting hot. I highly recommend this gem.

5 “Love and worship you” stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

”Who are you?”
“I’m your stepfather—and I’m in charge now.”


Oh my my...Jessa Kane has done it again. That woman can do no wrong in my eyes. When it comes to insta everything, she is the B.E.S.T. I am not afraid to admit that I have an unhealthy obsession or that am in love with every single novella she writes. Her books are a little treats that I keep stealing and always left wanting more. I’m always on the edge of my seat waiting for the next novella of her to come out.

You want it:

Smutty ✔️
insta-love/lust ✔️
Taboo ✔️
Hot AF dirty-talk ✔️
Alpha hero ✔️
Sassy heroines ✔️
Filthiest sex scenes ✔️

This book Has. It. All.

I ram my dick up against the juncture of her thighs, capturing her gasp with my left palm. “When I see another man looking at what’s mine, all I can think about is getting my seed inside you first. Your tight, wet pussy does that. It drives me goddamn crazy, so I can only imagine what it’s doing to every other man in the vicinity. When that happens, you get fucked, hard and raunchy. End of story. Fair is the last thing on my mind.”

Stepfather/stepdaughter romance trope is one of my favourite when it comes to taboo and forbidden romance even made better knowing the H is a cop. Don’t know why but something about a guy in a authoritative position makes me super hot. So imagine my happiness when I saw that this author is writing one and I knew I was going to love every single page of this dirty and sweet as hell romance with a little twist.

”Her exterior is tough, but on the inside, she’s aching. Her soul is that of an angel. She wants to be loved and accepted, but she’s scared. Pushing her is my only option. Pushing her to follow her dreams so I can support her and prove I believe in her, until she’s strong enough to believe in herself.”

Brody was instantly obsessed with London the moment he saw her picture and ever since his love for that girl has only grown even as far as making him stalk every single moment of her. He sees her in a way no one else does and knows that all she need is a little love and support to be the best.

This guy doesn’t look at me like everyone else.
Like I’m just another screw up who will end up with nothing. A nowhere life.
His expression is…optimistic. That’s not something I’ve had associated with me before.
It’s dangerously close to hope.


London has been a trouble maker all her life, going through juvie for petty crimes. The moment she comes out, she comes face to face with her stern and mean looking step daddy who plans to bring her to the straight and narrow by any means necessary. She can’t help but be attracted to his dominant nature and protectiveness and possessiveness.

”Stop.” I tighten my legs around his hips, contradicting my order. “I…think. I think…”
“Did your plan to tease Daddy backfire, you horny little cock tease?” He presses his fingers tighter to my back entrance and grunts, rifling his hips up and down. “Are you about to come in those tiny fucking shorts you put on to torture me?”
“Y-yes. Yes. Stop.”
He jiggles that forbidden pucker and I see stars. “But we have five more.”
“I d-don’t want them.”
“Are you sure? Your claws are in my fucking back, baby. You’re soaking through your shorts and my sweatpants.” He bends his knees slowly. “I’m pretty sure you want the last five.”


Things start to heat up the moment they are left alone especially that work out scene. The tension so high and the push and pull so strong that they can’t help but give in a little by little. I don’t know how she does it but Jessa always writes the hottest and crude dirty talking heroes who are completely unapologetic in their obsession and love for their women which is what always makes me come back.

Not only that but the emotional depth she brought in brody and London in just few chapters makes me connect to the story. It so beautiful and raw and romantic as hell. She makes me believe that love conquers all.

Brody and London are sweet as hell and dirty as fuck in their obsession for each which only keeps growing stronger. The chemistry between the two is undeniable and together they were simply perfect.

I recommend to one-click this little treat right away. ♥️

“Because I’m going to love you, make you mine, keep you forever. You don’t know it yet but you’re looking at the man who is hungry for you every second of the fucking day”


My stupid ass knewww this had ✨daddy kink✨ just by reading the synopsis but did i care to stop myself?? no. no, i didn’t. i even vowed that i’d NEVER read a taboo stepfather/stepdaughter shenanigans because that’s one of my limits but....here we are

in my defense! — the hero’s a former Army captain turned police chief..... how the hell am i suppose to say no to that?!?!

What i liked:
🔺how the hero immediately understands the root of heroine’s poor behavior/actions and doesn’t just dominate everything just bcs he ‘can’ and he’s ‘daddy’🤢
🔺 that he’s so fair, rational and very supportive of the heroine. he doesn’t let his weird lust take over his sanity when it comes to her
🔺he gives her chances to improve herself and motivates her to be better
🔺the daddy kink didn’t annoy me as much as i thought it would because the heroine really did have daddy issues 😂 so yea...a lot believable, you get me?


What i didn’t like:
▪️FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER i cringed at one of the dirty talks (listen, Kane’s smut usually works for me because they’re 🥵🔥 but it’s not working 100% for me in this one)

“Daddy’s meat can’t take much more.”

....you can’t put ‘meat’ and ‘daddy’ in one sentence it’s too much for me 😩

*after reading zillion’s of Kane’s novellas, i’ve found my peace with the obsession trope and don’t mind it anymore. judge me ✌🏻😗*

So, I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm not supposed to take Jessa Kane stories very seriously. Am I right about this? Because, listen. If I'm allowed to laugh over the absurdity then by all means, I'm in. Her smut is delicious, that's just #facts.

But this story? It's ridiculous! Like, every single thing that happened was really weird and I'm actually straight up puzzled by it all.

You know how porn has those totally silly "storylines", or is just ladies dancing alone to some bad muzak before the action starts? I want to believe that this story is like... the written equivalent of that kinda thing. So that's what I'm gonna do. With that in mind, I stuck it out and didn't just fast-forward to good bits so that's a win in my book!

Oh lord, I gotta read more by her. I'm legit entertained.

2.5 ⭐

This one is super novella and "forbidden"

Brody has a obession and it started when he spotted his angel on a phone. Thats where his obession started.  But let's fast forward London at the age 15 has been locked up many times because she acts out for her mother's attention now shes out and 18 she meets her new never before met stepfather Brody. Confused and annoyed she tries everything to get Brady to leave her, like all her mothers flings.. this time Brody is nothing like these men her mom dates let alone marries and she learns first hand. New daddy is showing her the right way.

There is some conflict because he's married to her mom and well Brody never touched the mom he just paid her bills for a surgery and never seen until the end (she didn't start drama) and that's that she was only a path to his angel. So yeah if your worried about the mom.  No need.

No ow/om drama, no cheating, tiny drama, sexy times, virgin gal and no manwhore

4 stars!

HOT🔥 Brody's unhealthy obsession with London makes this novella an even crazier & hotter one. This had the stepfather/stepdaughter trope but there's not much of it being mentioned. so it took away a certain level of thrill when reading IMO.
As usual, Jessa Kane's hero is 100% OTT alpha, possessive, dominant and well.. Brody was a little intense with his slight stalkerish behavior but that totally elevated the steam factor when he finally has London all to himself. quick read before bedtime. 4 stars!

The epilogue 5-yrs later is what makes their romance believable and not just passing taboo-filled lust. H&h's actual romance happened within a couple days but it was months of H obsessing & stalking thru juvie-hall's video surveillance & reading thru h's diaries & her drawing books. Their intense sexual & inexplicable emotional connection sped up their romance & sexual intimacy. This book also had more emotional substance, character depth, and romance than other similar StepDad-stepdaughter smut novellas.

Repeat-juvie-offender-since-15yo 18yo virgin h acted bratty/sexy/sassy/rebellious to cover up her mistrust of others/messy life/loneliness & to find safety in being placed in a structured juvenile facility over being shuffled to random strangers by her flighty & neglectful often-divorcing mother. Loved late-30s police-chief H's combination of his OTT stalkery obsession & protective posessiveness claimy “mine” alpha-dominance with h that's softened by his encouragement & support of her having a better future than an ex-juvie (i.e., to apply for college to pursue her desire to build roller coasters). His no-sex-MOC with her mom was based on his insta-love/obsession with h based on seeing her photo. He had no romantic or sexual interest in h's mother but it was his only way of gaining access to then-juvenile-deliquent 17yo h in exchange for her mom getting medical insurance for needed surgery for a csyt. Loved how adamant H was that h feel safe with and supported by him. So, the 5-yr epilogue with h now having an engineering degree & finished designed her 1st roller coaster with 2 sons in tow & h preggo again was heartwarming.

Sexual History:
H didn't date much since he kept himself busy with his military career and then this police career. But hinted at that he had some lovers. He didn't exhibit any BDSM-dominance in any of his sexual relationships until h. h had flirted & knew how to dress & act seductively but had never been kissed since she didn't trust or had much interest in men due to the revolving door of men in her mother's life.

"In His Custody" is the story of London and Brody.

A totally smutty- my cuppa tea romance!

Cop hero has been stalking the heroine, who has been recently released from juvenile detention. He is "married" to her mom, but totally obsessed with her. How far will things go?
Daddy smut, forbidden May-December romance with a crazy obsessive hero, loads of kinky sex, breeding and a super good nasty ending and epilogue.

I floved it!

This book is a hot mess of naughty, forbidden, and obsession. You know, the standard for a Jessa Kane book. I love it, I have a soft spot for her level of OTT debauchery. I'll be giving this one a re-read at some point.
