Having my best friend's daughter walk in while another woman was on her knees pleasuring me isn’t something I planned. Quinn watches me finish. Without shame, I hold her gaze and never look away.

Now, all I can think about is Quinn and how easy it would be to give in to temptation. She wants me more than anyone has ever wanted me. She's gorgeous, intelligent, and young. She also has a zest for life that I've somehow let pass me by.

As her boss, I see her every day. My resistance is slipping.

I’m a good man.

But even good men have their faults.

Quinn will be mine.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

Having my best friend's daughter walk in while another woman was on her knees pleasuring's me isn't something I planned. Quinn watches me finish. Without shame, I hold her faze and never look away. Now all I can think about is Quinn and how easy it would be to give in to temptation. She wants me more than anyone has ever wanted me. She's gorgeous, intelligent, and young. She also has a zest for life that I've somehow let pass me by. As her boss, I see her every day. My resistance is slipping. I am a good man. But even good men have their faults. Quinn will be mine.

Temptation Deep is a forbidden/age gap romance. I will warn you that it is super steamy and may have your kindle over hearting in your very hands. This is the story of Quinn and Jason.
Quinn has knows Jason her whole entire life. He is after all one of her Fathers best friends. One day though she walks in on him with a woman in the room and she's not exactly playing footsy with the man. Quinn doesn't move or even flinch the entire time. However she doesn't leave the room without a huge attraction to Jason. She is actually super fascinated about him or by him too I guess is more what I should say. She also has been going to law school and is about to start her job of clerking in Jason at his law firm until she gets the result of her bar exam. That only makes her more forbidden though because now she's his best friends daughter and his employee. Quinn though has no idea that Jason is equally attracted to her and he saw her watching him and the other woman in his office. What will happen when one or the other of them gives in and crosses the line that shouldn't be crossed? You have to find out when you read the book. I really enjoyed it but I do love a good age gab/forbidden romance book. The characters are both great and it kept me really entertained until I was finished.

Forbidden Love with steamy naughtiness 😍

That blurb already had me intrigued with:

🍏Age Gap Romance
🍎Forbidden Love
🍏Father's Best Friend

Quinn finds herself fascinated and having a crush on Jason her father's best friend and 20 years her senior, when she accidentally witnesses him getting head.

Quinn is a upcoming lawyer, waiting for her bar results. She lands a Intern position at Jason's firm, when she asks him if she could work for him as it will help her career.

She has always looked up to the successful lawyer and wants to learn the ropes from the man with his own firm.

But soon sparks fly giving way to raging fires when Quinn starts flirting with Jason. Jason tries hard to stay away but Quinn seems to be quite the seducing lady.

So starts their forbidden affair gives us steaming hot, delightful naughty and dirty moments.

Jason and Quinn might have generation gap but they mesh together in a perfect way, where one is a bit traditional the other one comes with modern beliefs. This also spills to their working style. With Jason wanting to have things in paper whereas Quinn insists on everything being online.

Yet I loved how beautifully they both bring different things to the table yet make a perfect combination.

Ohhh..Their times together were really 🔥🔥.. Quinn is uninhibited and wild and takes Jason along with her in finding his inner desires bring out like a furnace.

What a dirty, naughty ride. Loved this one. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

“Temptation Deep” was a spicy and dirty delight of a story. I love a good age gap romance and this one was great. Quinn and Jason were a wonderful taboo couple and I loved their story.

Quinn has known Jason her whole life. Jason is one of her Dad’s best friends and when she accidently walks in on him with another woman, she stays and watches. A crush and fascination are instantly there for Quinn. She has been going to law school and gets a job clerking for Jason at his law firm until her bar exam results are in. What she doesn’t know is Jason saw her watching him. The fascination and attraction are mutual and their consensual affair begins.

This has got to be one of my favorite taboo romances that I’ve read this year. It’s all consensual but also forbidden. They have about a 20 year age gap. Quinn is just starting her adult life at 26 and Jason is divorced and ready to start the second part of life. They shouldn’t work out but they just do. Their chemistry is off the charts hot and their times together are super spicy and dirty. Nothing about the way they got together felt forced or rushed. This was the first book I’ve read by Ashley Bostock and it won’t be the last. I can’t wait to read everything she’s written.

The book starts off at Quinn's fathers Birthday Celebration, he is 48. She is a new law school grad who is waiting to take the bar exam at age 25. That is when we are introduced to Jason, her fathers best friend who was married and is now divorced and who is a lawyer who is now single and lets say he is enjoying those perks when Quinn spies on him and he catches her.

This was a very fun story with so many hot scenes and each one is hotter than the previous one. I absolutely loved it. Its very much a forbidden romance, a huge age gap, and also is a romance at work storyline.

The author is one of my favorites and this one is the hottest one I have ever read by her. Quinn and Jason worked so well and they are so much fun to read about. This is one story I really loved.

I received a complimentary early release copy of this e-book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Temptation Deep is a steamy age gap romance between young upcoming lawyer Quinn and her father's best friend Jason. Quinn catches Jason and another woman in a compromising position and that opens up a door to attraction and feeling neither one had ever considered before. Despite their 20 year age gap they decide to pursue a physical relationship that turns into more. Quinn also is working for Jason while waiting for her bar results to come in and there's a side plot of her first case mixed into all the steam. Quinn is very rebellious and free which is what Jason need, although at times she can be immature. Jason seems to have a bit more of a sturdier head on his shoulder after his divorce and sees Quinn fill a void he's always been missing. I enjoyed this book and would classify it as pretty low angst.

I haven't read a forbidden, age-gap romance like this for a bit and this is just what I needed.

Quinn has been working hard towards becoming a lawyer and working with Jason's, her dad's best friend, firm. Right before she did her bar, she saw Jason in a different light. Add to that what she saw in her bathroom, things had started to shift between them. Jason started seeing her a different way, more like she's a grown woman now. They started pursuing their physical attraction for each other until it becomes even more serious.

This two steam up the pages. Their chemistry is off the charts and the fact that they have to work together but hide their attraction towards each other have some kind of thrill. But I liked that they didn't try to deny their feelings in situations where they have to fold their hands. And they face it together.

This is your typical forbidden romance. Best friends daughter & age gap

Quinn and Jason have a background spanning decades, when suddenly feelings become involved and their relationship changes. Then we enter steamy times galore!

I enjoyed this storyline and the steamy times certainly didn't disappoint! There were times where the story didn't flow as well but overall a good read for those who enjoy the forbidden romance trope ❤

Wow this was a hot book! I so love father’s best friend books and temptation deep is absolute one of the best I’ve read. I loved how Quinn and Jason cared for one another and how Jason respected his relationship with Quinn’s dad, his best friend. This book is a very easy read and has a terrific story. So enjoyable!

Naughtiness

Wow! I mean age gap romance with a father’s best friend. It’s a steaming hot, forbidden affair. It had dirty and naughty moments. They both bring different things, but they some how mesh well. A great read.

It was ok

I honestly thought there would be more context to the book. It was nothing but sex mostly. I would have appreciated an epilogue a few years later showing their life and growth more than sexually

Good story. Read it in one sitting. Got it as part of a book reveal box and loved the cover, so I immediately had to read it. Plus, I'm always down for an age gap/work place romance. Throw in the whole dads best friend trope, and this book seemed really hot. And it was, it didn't let me down.
However - the mmc did. Jason just didn't seem all that thought out to me. He didn't have any depth besides that he was older, the dads best friend, and the boss. Maybe it's just more but I like my silver foxes(or on the verge of) to have a little juice to their personality.
Quinn was a true boss. She knew what she wanted - to not only learn from Jason as a lawyer but to also get some ✨️spice✨️ from him. And lemme tell you this book is pure spice from the quickie handie in the beginning to the full blow on the last page. I really enjoyed watching Quinn become so passionate about her first case as it was so personal on multiple levels and how she stood up for the other girls involved.
I also really liked how Greg took the news of his best friend and daughter dating. It's refreshing to see in a book how all the adults used their words instead of it becoming physical immediately (not that, that perspective isn't juicy in its own right lol)

I wanted to like this book. I love taboo and forbidden romances, but it was so hard. Firstly, I hate the way Quinn acted in the beginning. If the roles were reversed and Jason was sending uninvited nudes, the story would not have been a romance. She was persistent, but not in a good way. Secondly, I hated the way Greg found out and his reaction. I would assume walking in and seeing your best friend, the one that’s been around your daughter your entire life, fucking her against the wall would result in more than him pinching the bridge of his nose. I get that he was shocked, but even on day 2, he was like, “yeah, this is fine I guess.” No. Lastly, the amount of cringy moments where it was mentioned that Quinn was like a daughter to Jason didn’t sit right with me. I’m not completely against the trope of dads best friend, but it has to be properly executed to where it doesn’t sound like he’s trying to bang his own daughter.

On the other hand, the smut was good and the writing was good. I recall one spelling error toward the beginning of the book, but it happens. Ashley Bostock is a great author, but this book didn’t sit right with me or my morals.

This is Jason and Quinn’s story. Jason is divorced and is Quinn’s dad’s best friend, and he is her boss. When Quinn walks in at an inopportune moment and catches Jason with another woman, and for the life of her she cannot walk away as she and Jason stare at each other. Both realize that their feeling towards each other is changing, so begins a forbidden affair. The chemistry between these two is combustible and undeniable, but what will Quinn’s dad say when he finds out? This is a well written story which is a forbidden, steamy, and delicious addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I recommend.

Top 5 Favorite Books for me

Absolutely loved this book. The story was well written, and the story development was just delicious. I loved all the characters along with the development of each character. I was glad Greg’s reaction was what it was. I absolutely loved that it was NOT a slow burn. The spice level wasn’t crazy but just perfect for the characters, maybe a 3/5 on my spice level. I would definitely recommend if you enjoy a good age gap romance book. I will be rereading many times. I got this book in my Romance RevealBookBox.

Hot 😌

I decided to read this book based on the synopsis alone, cause sheesh what a way to capture a readers attention. The first half of the book was amazing Quinn’s boldness and rebel behavior was so hot and I love the way she made Jason so feel so alive and the chemistry was off the charts. The spice was spicing 🥵🔥. But once you got past 50% of the book it did start to get boring the only exciting after that was the dad finding out. Overall it give it 4 stars cause I’m still shock and blushing from the synopsis 😭😭😭.

This book was not for me, the story line was hard for me to read. I think it is because of the age difference and them knowing each other since she was born. I know things like this happen all the time in real life. It just made me very hard to read. I am a big fan of reading "smut" books, but this one was definitely over the top for me even. I can read the dirtiest of books, but I struggled a bit with this one.

Whew, it's a good one, folks.

Jason is a recent divorce male. His best friends daughter has been staring at him. He is also coming to realize that she is all grown up. She is forbidden. Is that enough to keep him in check.

Quinn is on a mission. She is on a mission to push the limits with her Dads best friend. He is older and experienced. Q wants to experience it all with him.

disappointing

I’ve read this author before and liked her but this one was disappointing. Did not like Quinn at all, found her aggressiveness in pursuit of her dad’s friend off putting and childish. Character was too manipulative for me to enjoy the story, even with her dad and the workplace and it continued to the end.

I loved the forbidden, spiciness to this book, however, I wish it had more of a story line. I felt like a naughty scene ended and another one started. Super quick read that gets you in the mood. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Temptation Deep

I liked the book. There is quite an age gap between them but the relationship was well written and quite believable. I liked the characters and liked the interaction but I was disappointed as I wanted more in the end. Overall, not a bad story, hot steamy sex too!

Too short

The story is really short and not as developed as I would have liked.the characters are likeable and interesting. HEA. Standalone. I think an extended epilogue would have been good.
