We going to see the twins!!! The twins!!! Did I say twins?!? This book suprised me and my friend Jenn told me to read it. Now I was close to DNFing it because they were going to screw someone ow. BUT IT DIDNT HAPPEN SCORE!!!

Alice has always been afraid of her stepbrother since she met them years ago but now she realizes it's a different type of fear, now she's under their care since their parents died. Talk about tough spot to be in. As for Jameson and Tristan they finally getting what they want their lil Alice the forbidden fruit they crave they are sneaky in snooping finding her secert desires and moving forward with their plan.

Fantasies come true I swear these brothers make you wanna lose control and spread your own legs for them. Talk about Masks and toys in a maze hehe.
There is some mob talk and other mentions of other families which I cant wait to see.

No ow/om drama, no cheating, slight secondary character, drama, sexy times, virgin gal sorta manwhores (they had their past)

It was okay. Two protective stepbrothers met their jittery stepsister after a year of their parents' deaths. Really kinky and barely dark (I have no idea what constitutes as dark anymore).

Plus, I do love how these people explored their kink consensually in a safe and control environment. I'm all for dub con in dark romance sometimes but it's nice to see this roleplay stuff happened safely, especially after what had happened to the girl before.

*ARC provided in exchange for an honest review*

5/5 ⭐️
3.75/5 🌶

Tropes:
- MFM
- age gap (12yrs)
- forbidden love
- guardian x ward
- step-brothers (twins)
- Alice in Wonderland retelling
- doms + sub
- virgin heroine

Spice:
- CNC
- DVP (2 🐓 in one hole)
- praise + degradation
- edge play
- choking & spiting
- squirting 💦
- 🦋dirty talk🦋
- a whole lot of other good sh*t

POV: first person - heroine + heroes (2)

Type: novella (prequel to the Villainous Heroes Series) *happy for now ending*

After a Alice loses her mother and step-father in a car accident, the only two family members she has left are her step-brothers, who scare her. But Alice has this very 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 diary that they stumble upon one day...

The AFTERCARE made this book just that more perfect. Everything was so well explained and may I say, healthy? Like this is what I picture a healthy sub & dom relationship to be like especially considering the fact that many books don’t talk about some topics mentioned in this book. The constant reassurance and consent was so goddamn refreshing.

The characters were so well crafted, it was insane. Alice is timid but don’t let her fool you. And don’t get me started on the twins, all you gotta know is they’re Russian, call her “babochka”, and are very equipped if you know what I mean. Absolutely no complaints about this novella, I enjoyed every single thing!

Into the rabbit hole you go. Don’t forget protection on the way down, this book is hot enough to get someone pregnant if they’re not careful. Highly, highly recommend!! 🐇♥️

After being left alone, Alice is entrusted to the care of her stepbrothers: the men she once feared; the men she now wants in ways she definitely shouldn't.

I'm gonna say just one thing:
THE FREAKING STEFANOV TWINS!!!
OMFG!! 🥵🥵🥵🥵

Folie à deux is a fast, hot as hell novella, with a young scared naive girl and two dangerous overprotective and possessive men.
There’s little angst, and it's totally focused on their relationship (especially the physical one 😏).
But I really enjoyed it.
And i'm looking forward to Ellie' story.

Making this review slightly pains me. It started out so well and I was truly excited about where this was all headed. But, unfortunately there were a handful of items that did not work for me and turned this initial 5 star into a 3 star. The smut as well as the side character, Nick kept this story interesting. I am curious about Nick’s story and learning more of what is going on between him and Ellie? The unknown between the two was great on the Author’s part, to leave the reader’s wanting more about what exactly is the nature of their relationship; as well as Nick’s commentary on her.

Now, I want to point out that an element I found cute, were all the little nods to Alice in Wonderland. They were subtle and if you are familiar with the story, then I think it’ll bring a little knowing smile to your face as did mine when I recognized them.

I will have a slight spoiler moving forward, due to me having a pretty big issue with something that was added into the plot, the spoiler is unavoidable for me to discuss my issue. But, I still feel it isn’t a massive spoiler. Regardless, if you don’t want to risk it then I advise anyone to stop reading past this point.

Alice, she was a character that I was quite unsure of upon meeting her. She is 17 years old, quiet, seemingly scared of her own shadow, constantly biting her lip, her cheeks reddening, and always speaking very softly. As this is a Novella, the direction of the plot is pretty plain to see early on, that Alice will be having a relationship with her twin Step-Brothers. So, the issue I had with how the Author carved out this relationship was:

1) I feel that she convinced me to accept that Alice was somehow scared of her feelings for her Step-Brothers (whom she has had extremely low contact with). And I was rolling with it, because I did in fact fall in love with both the twins (one more-so over the other, but that’s not important). But then, Alice describes her connection to Vasily, her step-father (and of course biological father to her step-brothers). It is well defined how much Alice loved and adored Vasily because he made her feel safe. So, when Alice began making inner dialogue on how she was confused about her feelings for the twins…it begged the question. Does she actually feel something for the Twins? Or just because they remind her of Vasily? Because where was the connection having ever being created when the twins and Alice had only been around each other maybe twice in person over the time their father was married to Alice’s mother? These are elements that snag my attention. Why not pull back a bit on Alice’s feelings for her step-father to allow room for the twins? This just muddied the waters for me, which I didn’t care for.

2) *Spoiler* There is a smut scene where all three are involved. And out of nowhere, Alice calls one of the twins “Daddy”. Now, trust me I don’t mind this in books! But, in this instance it didn’t work for me. Because I was already on the fence if Alice was into the twins because of their own personalities and qualities and not because they were reminders of her step-father…which again I don’t mind (this is a Taboo book after all). BUT, it completely deflated all the hard work that the Author took in building this relationship between THESE three characters. So, I did not care for that part whatsoever.

Amongst this, there were just a lot of things that unraveled this story, making this book lose its quality. There were grammatical errors continuously. Repetitive use of words. The Author had mixed up eye colors. Some things were brought into the plot that had no evidence to support it. Such as the raccoons? Am I the only one wondering how tf they knew it was raccoons fighting? And why was that even in the story? The raccoons throughly confused me.

I think the ultimate breaking point for me was that Alice is 17, the twins are 12 years older, making them 29 years old. I needed Alice to feel less like a child and more like a woman, which many author’s have successfully done with age gaps such as this. But, I didn’t see that and was desperately seeking for it. She talked like a valley girl, someone who didn’t seem like a Senior in High School actually at all; but rather Middle School. Which, didn’t work for me. I no longer became convinced that these two, hardened twins, who deal with dark matters in their line of work would worship this immature, underdeveloped girl. I just feel completely deflated because I feel that the missteps cost this story for me.

I am going to continue with The Game, maybe not right away. But, I am interested in this Author’s work. I feel like over time, her work has the potential to become cleaner and stronger. Although I did have a lot of criticism, I do not feel like this was a terrible book. I just think there are things that need work in my personal opinion.

This was one of those novellas where there was a good balance of both plot and smut. If I can say one thing though…the smut in this was VERY hot, and I mean VERY.

The Stefanov twins…phew. I have no words. The kinks they’re both into and how well they treated Alice..I loved it all. All kinks mentioned in this book were ones I’ve read before and come to realized that I absolutely love them, especially reading about them which made me enjoy this a hundred times more.

It's on me. All through reading, I was not in the mood, making it so difficult to be enthused by the story. Even the smut scenes did not help.

Though, I can say I was today's old when I learned that pearled 🍆 was a thing. That succeeded to make me raise an eyebrow. I am still trying to wrap my head around the concept (I wanna say 'ouch' but who knows 😅?). Just proves that we learn at all ages 😅!

I doubt I will ever get to read the next book.

Geez, what is it about foreign Heroes that get me so good?! Sigh. Tristan and Jameson are deliciously devious. I love their darkness and depravity! Alice, sweet and innocent Alice, their perfect sub. She’s a dream!

I can’t wait to read the rest of the series, I’m such a fucking sucker for Disney retellings, especially with the villains! Beauty and the Beast is my all time favorite so I am ready for Nick and Ellie!!!!

2/5?

i don’t know what to rate this. it was boring and not worth my time but it was also under 200 pages. it’s definitely not as special as i thought it would be. during the smut i didn’t move. it felt like reading a manual. “dvp for dummies”. idk if it’s my fault for feeling nothing but i didn’t feel the slightest spark. the dirty talk was hot in some moments but tristan called her baby girl which lessened my enjoyment by like 50%.

Ok wow, I needed a quick spicy read, but holy snap. This book was DELIVERED! I am a big fan of Alice in Wonderland and I appreciate the small references here and there.

GIF - Alice in Wonderland | Alice in wonderland disney, Alice in wonderland flowers, Disney gif

But continuing on with the review. If you are looking for a forbidden taboo romance, with a lot of smut, and a quick read, then this is the book for you. Alice is taken in by her hot twin brothers. This is also an age gap romance (12 years) btw.

Even if there was a touch of obsession in their relationship, you can tell that there was passion and care between these characters. I love how Tristan and Jameson are careful and caring towards here and it's just wonderful. There is a long of praise and degradation kink, knife play, body mods, and more.

So if this is something you'd like, then go ahead and give it a try. I would like to read the next one! Perfect for reading slumps. TBH.

I had never heard of Ruby Medjo or her books before this was recommended to me by a brand new bookstagram friend. And Oh. My. Gawd!! The person who recommended this book to me is my new favourite book friend and Ruby is now my new favourite author. I’m so glad at the end she said this novella is now a prequel to the series that is to come. I can now wait for more of these characters. This story is so taboo with some dark and twisted bits I love in books and holy heck it is so freaking spicy for how short the book is. I can not get over this. If you’re not sure if you like the dark and twisted spicy romance books give this one a read. I’m sure you’ll love it. And if you don’t it’s a short novella so it’s not like you will have wasted a lot of your time. But I’m telling you. You will absolutely love it. I can’t get over how amazing it was. And how Ruby was able to write the characters with such depth in such a sort amount of time. It felt like I had been reading and learning about them for days instead of just a couple short hours. To say I insta gave it five starts and ran to her Instagram and followed her on all platforms would be an understatement. Just wow!!!

Are there any Stefanov twins in the town? Please I need them ASAP!
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
I still can't believe this is just the prequel! It's kinda Alice in Wonderland retelling with Alice having a naughty mind full of fantasies for her step brothers. Speaking of fantasies I was surprised to discover her spicy diary. I can't wait to try this theory. I kept jumping from this book to breathe cz you can't just keep reading without screaming and breathing!

Ruby Medjo perfectly wrote the character arc of the twin brothers. They protected Alice every now and then. I can't be more excited for the next book in The Villainous Heroes Series.

Would I recommend this book?
OFCOURSE, 1000 times!

What a great start. It has made me want to read the next book, especially since I want to see the justice the twins do to her tormentor.

Although this is a very quick and fast read, it does give you a little bit of what’s to come in the longer story and I did like that. Also seeing how protective they were to her was good.

***I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review***

Look up trigger warnings and beware that this book deciphers adult themes

Tropes:
-MFM
-Age Gap
-Gardian x Ward
-Step Brothers

Favorite Quote: "I am able to bring two of the most powerful men to their knees with a simple look. They are mine, and I own their fucking hearts."

This book was a quick and easy read! A good amount of spice while, also portraying what a healthy BDSM relationship should entail among two consenting parties. The aftercare in this book was nicely done. Also, I appreciate that each step of the way consent was asked and respected. It was so refreshing to see this, since most stories with spice often glamorize toxic relationships and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

I really enjoyed the dynamic between Alice and the Stefanov twins. You see the character development in Alice and see how the Stefanov brothers help in her healing process and slowly overcome her childhood trauma. Initially, you see Alice as this timid and shy girl then later you see a different side of her. The twins are Russian and all I have to say is they are to die for. The nickname they give Alice is sweet and made my heart melt. Overall, I enjoyed this novel and look forward to reading the rest of this series.

DROP EVERYTHING and read this

Seriously. Do it now. The writing in this novella is sooo good. Truly, when it comes to novellas I don’t expect too much because there’s usually not enough time to build something spectacular but THIS BOOK you guys. Ruby builds the world and the connections between the characters effortlessly and without overwhelming the reader. I literally wouldn’t change a thing except that I wish I was longer. I need more.

If you’re looking for something that is lighter on plot, heavy on spice, this is the one. The spice is omg… probably one of the hottest books I’ve read in a while. I was dying throughout most of this book. There’s not a lot I can say without spoiling it but it was so hot that I couldn’t even string together coherent sentences. Every chapter it just got better and better.

This novella was amazing!😍🔥 This is an Alice in wonderland retelling that I absolutely fell in love with. It centers around Alice, who has just lost her mother and step father to a car accident. She then has to go and live with her step brothers. The Stefanov twins who have always scared her but intrigued her as well. The twins are dangerous and ruthless. But they have a spot for Alice. They’ve always watched her from afar but not they finally have the chance to make her theirs. Fall down the rabbit hole with Alice and her hot twins😍🔥

I honestly loved this novella! I was unsure how much plot there would be since it is so short, but there was a decent amount of plot and backstory to the characters that i felt for them.
The spice was HOT, and i appreciated how they could be dominating and rough with her, but also soft and caring towards her. I also loved that rather than them treating her like a possession, they said they were hers to do with as she pleases ♥

let me tell you something.
the fact that this was only a prequel to what Ruby has planned (as a whole series) and was this good?!
yeah. i don’t think i’m ready, but am at the same time. does that make sense? haha.

this prequel gave me dark alice in wonderland vibes, mystery, action, spice and everything f*cken nice. it also, might i add, unlocked a new kink for me. *coughs* twins *coughs*

ah, to dream. lol.

anyways, i very much recommend this prequel, because her “villainous heroes series” is going to be something.

Wow I loved this book, to say it was shorter then what I usually liked it was perfect for what I needed. This is a mfm book about twins that take guardianship over their step sister. The smut in this was HOT and there was surprisingly a decent amount of plot going on. It had everything I love so there not really any criticism I can give. I’ll definitely be reading more from this author.

*clears throat*

um..so..yeah, wow. I was not expecting the level of spice in this book AT ALL. I enjoyed the book a lot. It follows Alice, who is left in the care of her two step brothers after her aunt passes away. The attraction she felt towards them and vice versa builds and explodes.🥵 Mostly spice, but the plot we did get was good. This book is a great prequel to the full length novel releasing in October, which I'm looking forward to. Ends in a HFN.

I had a hard time settling on how to rate this. This is a relatively short read around 140 pages. I’ve never read anything by this author before but I like the style of writing and I’m definitely into reading more of her dark fairy tale retelling to come. This appears to be a very, very loose take on Alice in Wonderland.

Alice is the younger stepsister to Parker and Jameson. Their parents wed when Alice was maybe 10, I think. However, she was afraid of her stepbrothers so their father sent them away . However, the mom and stepdad died in a car accident and and after first being sent to live Ruth an aunt who’s been diagnosed with cancer, she ends up in the care of her stepbrothers.

The story focuses on her fear of them and how shy she is at first but that pretty quick goes out the window. We take an abrupt turn into the MFM portion of the story where we instantly lose any notion of her being shy or afraid. The smutty parts of this story don’t hold back, it goes for the glory with gusto. From there we get nibbles of plot hidden inside spicy adventures between the ménage.

Cover 4/5, cover is undeniably pretty

Story 4/5
Heat 5/5
Angst 1.5/5

Medium burn, shockingly despite the amount and intensity of spice this is a solid medium burn. There is a goodly amount of foreplay just before the main event kicks off just past 50% though.

No condoms
Virgin h
Manwhores
MFM scenes
D/s themes
Praise
Degradation
Humiliation
Body modification
Piercing
Bondage
DVP
Somnophilia
CNC
Not really push away from h but she hid from them at first

This was a delicious little novella that I’m assuming is the prequel to some other story that I have yet to read.

Plot: 3/5
Spice: 4,5/5🌶️
Genre; MFM Mafia Romance
Setting: Seattle, their luxury mansion, her school
POV: Multiple
- Age Gap
- Twins
- Mafia
- Touch her and die
- Forced proximity
- Virgin
- Dom Sub
- Breath Play

Alice is a jittery, sweet 17 (almost 18) year old girl whose life has fallen apart - a year ago her mother and step dad were killed in a car accident. She loved them dearly.
Since then, she’s been living with her Aunt, but she has just passed away from cancer.
Now?
Now her step brother, twins, The Stefanovs - come to collect her and sign as her guardians.

She’s terrified of them.

They have wanted her for ages . And they will have her at any cost.

This book is so spicy, and they introduce a very naive Alice to all the things she wants in such a respectful way.
Safe, Sane, Sober, Consenting.

It was great to see her be able to work through things like consensual non consent with these two - they stop and check on her, whispering “safe word?” And are you ok? And it’s too sweet.

blurb: Alice is now forced to live with her two step brothers after her mom & their father passed in an accident. Alice has a trauma filled past that always has ruled her current state of mind. she is fearful of most men, including her step brothers. they are to become her guardians after her aunt passes, they are all too happy to take that position after lusting over her for the last year. finding out she has the same feelings ignites the trio to take those steps they all want, they want Alice to have nothing but happiness, & want to be the ones always making her happy always, helping her succeed, flourish & overcome.

yum yum & yum. this was a quick & spicy read & I loved it. it also has the stepbrother trope which is a personal favorite of mine. I love how in this book there is a lot of talk of consent while also there being dubcon & CNC tropes within. LOVED this short & spicy prequel to this authors Villainous Heroes series! can’t wait for what is to come next!
