Doing Taboo Things

Itty Bitty Delights #5

by Alex Grayson

One is my step-brother and one is my best friend.

It’s wrong to want them both.

But how do I choose, when together, they give me so much more than when they’re apart?

I guess the better question is, do I have to make a choice?

Is it really so wrong when it feels so right?

Sometimes doing taboo things is worth the risk.

Hot diggity damn. On fire. Great as a palette cleanser in between books.

[Lourdes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rayn and Jamison had been friends for a long time and, due to unforeseeable circumstances, later became step-siblings. Then, in 9th grade, they met Reed and the three of them developed a close knit relationship. Now all grown up and living the single life, Rayn is down on her luck and finds herself confronted with the onslaught of feelings for her 2 best friends. What she doesn’t know is that they too have feelings other than friendship toward her and the time of reckoning is fast coming.
This story made me think that there’s something in the water in the town of Silver Falls because it seems everyone there is hitting the kinky aspects of life with a vengeance. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thoroughly enjoying it!
Though I’ve never been a true fan of ménage stories, I enjoy them every now and then and DTT is right up there. It’s hot and a half with a slight twist and it fulfilled all my expectations.
If you like your reads short and steamy, you definitely need to pick up this series. The habitants of Silver Falls will not disappoint you.

My first one from this author and really loved it! It's a story between bestfriends (M/F) plus the step-brother and exploring their desire and finally accepting having a polygamous relationship. It works with this storyline as they all care for one another. 5 star for me!.

Short fun read!

[April · Rating 5 out of 5]

To be perfectly honest, this isn't exactly my genre. BUT, I don't know if it was the storyline, the characters, or what, but this one didn't only hold my attention, it had me flipping the pages. If you like MFM, then you're going to eat this one up!

Jamison and Rayn are step brothers. They have been best friends with Reed for ages. One day they realize that they all attracted to each other and they start a relationship.

I’m starting to be a really big fan of this series. I really enjoy the concept of a series full of taboo and sexy shorter stories. This series is just so much fun for me to read and these books are the perfect distraction after a busy day.

This was so sweet and sexy, which is exactly what I was looking for. This book was just so much fun to read and I enjoyed reading this one a lot.

I really enjoyed the relationship between the three main characters. They had very good chemistry that I could feel through the book’s pages and they seemed to really go well together.

Also, I love MMF books but I really need them to have a dynamic where all of the characters feel equal and it was the case of this one, and I absolutely loved that.

This book was steamy and very hot and I loved all of those scenes in the book, they really worked for me.

I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest opinion

Holy Scorching Hotness.....

Reed, Jamison and Rayn have all been friends for a long time. Reed and Jamison are best friends and live together and Rayn and Jamison are also step-siblings as well as best friends. Reed has had feelings for Rayn for as long as he can remember and Rayn has had feelings for both Rayn and Jamison, and her feelings also include fantasies of Reed and Jamison together...but everyone is kind of dancing around their feelings for each other, until the perfect opportunity comes and they all end up living under the same roof.

These characters had some seriously explosive chemistry and the scenes in this book were straight up fire. Threesomes and triad relationships are not generally my favorite trope, but I really enjoy this author's work and I have really enjoyed this series. I did really like these characters and I liked them together. I enjoyed the friendship aspect of the story and liked that they had a strong foundation to build their relationship on. I do tend to like more involved stories with a little more of a build up (I don't believe that is the purpose of this series and I knew that going in), but if you are looking for a quick and easy read that is low angst, high steam then this will probably be perfect for you.

This is short but so dirty and sweet, I couldn't put it down. I am a sucker for a ménage romance and we have three best friends finally giving in to their desires. There is no drama and I even loved their families not caring.

Oh. My!!!!

This is by far the naughtiest and hottest book so far in the series!
In a twist of step-taboo, best friends turn lovers, mfm, mmf.... What a treat for all taboo readers!
Definitely my favourite in this collection of short stories.... So far!!

Get ready for another sinfully, sexy read!
Rayn, Jamison and Reed have been best friends for years, platonic friends until now when everything changes.
This is a short, hot story that will melt the pages of your book as you read all about these three Doing Taboo Things!!

[Jaime Reynolds · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hot hot hot!!!! Wow this story is so hot you need a fan and multiple breaks to cool off. Hands down my favorite of this series. You do not want to miss out so make sure you one click this immediately. It is one forbidden romance I could see myself rereading.

[Deborah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a great read. Possessive, yet gentle, these guys sure know how to get a girl all revved up. I loved the story and the quick pace. It had everything without the angst.

Alex is on a roll with these sinfully sexy reads!!

“I kiss The side of her neck then whispering her ear. “ Let’s put it this way, baby. You’re lucky I’ve only had a couple of drinks tonight and I have a few working brain cells left, or I’d have bent you over, fucking your tight pussy while Jamison feeds you his cock.” I emphasizes by pressing my hard-on against her ass.”


Doing Taboo Things is the 5th book in Alex’s Itty Bitty Delights Series. A series of easy to read, spice packed, and simply quite delicious reads. I recommend highly reading in order because books piggyback one another, not to mention, characters are also interconnected. This series has really made my evenings this past week extremely enjoyable. I started from the beginning and with each book fell even more in the love. **DO NOT READ IN THE PRESENCE OF OTHERS** This book is a HOT read. Ménage is not my usual choice of read, but Alex does good ménage. Jamison is dominant, Reed is romance, and together Rayn is one lucky woman. This has been my favorite read so far.

Jamison, Reed, and Rayn have been best friends since Freshman year of high school.

Rayn is in love with her two best friends and Jamison just happens to also be her step-brother.

Reed fell in love with Rayn from day one. But, his feelings for Jamison are just as strong. Only thing is Reed enjoys both sexes and Jamison has never shown any interest in men.

Jamison has thoughts about Rayn, but rejects them because she is his stepsister. And, his curiosity about Reed has grown since he walked in on Reed having sex with a guy.

What a tangled web of sexy thoughts. Until, Rayn needs a place to live. The guys help her move. Reed stumbles upon her vibrator. And, queue in the sexy times.

This taboo read is perfection.

Plus, Alex’s epilogue’s are life.

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

One is my step-brother and one is my best friend. It's wrong to want them both. But how do I choose, when together, they give me so much more than when they're apart. I guess the better question is, do I have to make a choice? Is it really so wrong when it feels so right? Sometimes doing taboo things is worth the risk.

This is such a great little quick read. I am loving these Itty Bitty Delights. This is the story of Rayn, Jamison and Reed. Rayn and Jamison have been friends for the longest time until one day they became stepbrother and stepsister. When she was in the ninth grade she meets Reed and the three of them became super close. Now that she is all grown up and living the single life she is really down on her luck and finds herself having all sorts of feeling flying around for her two best friends is the entire world. But, she has no idea that Jamison and Reed are feeling the same exact way. What will happen when everything is out in the open about how they all feel?
Well you have to read and find out. I loved this book so much and didn't put it down one time. I was glued to my seat reading Doing Taboo Things until I was finished. I loved these characters. Loved getting to know some of their past and I have to say that a time or fifty I thought my kindle was going to melt in my very hands. You do not want to miss this book or any in this series for that matter. I loved every second and will be reading this book again in the future.

🅼🆈 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆:

Oh my my... I can't really...I'm completely specchless and and fanning myself after reading this extremely HOTTTTT RIDE.
Fanning myself would be an understatement to what this book will do to you and make you feel.

I have to say this one is the dirtiest and the Sexiest book in this series I've read so far and trust me this series is already too hot to handle so that just tells you how 🌶️🔥this book is.

First off there's angst and the unknown and emotional wait as not only Rayn and Jamison are step-siblings that have always been eyeing each other but coukd never acknowledge their feelings. But add to this the complication of their best friend having similar feelings for them.

The trio don't want to take their attraction and their feelings to be known as they're are afraid they might lose their close bond.

I was so nervous and excited too to see how this forbidden trio was finally going to come together.

And.... OH MY.. DO THEY COME TOGTHER IN A BURST OF FIRECRACKERS AND SIZZLING SPARKS AND FIRES EVERYWHERE.

If you want a SEXY YET A DEEPLY FELT read then this one is a MUST MUST READ. AHHH.. I'M STILL 😳🥵🥵🔥🌶️🌶️. Loved loved this one. 💋💋💋

Delightfully Taboo, Delightfully Hot.

In DOING TABOO THINGS, Author Alex Grayson has written Jamison, Rayn and Reed’s book as a perfectly hot, quick, quickly dirty and did I say HOT addition to her Itty Bitty Delights series.

The three of them have been best friends for years, and Jamison and Rayn have been step-siblings for a few. Rayn needs a new place to live for a bit, and her two boys volunteer the third bedroom in their flat.

One moment they’re at her place helping her move out her belongings, and a toy of a certain calibre is found, and believe you-me, this whole scene was uncomfortably HILARIOUS. The next moment these three are getting somewhat handsy and HEL-LO, it’s all gone from scorching to nuclear in a matter of a sentence or two!!! 👀🔥💥💥

Even for such a compact read, there’s a lot fitted between these virtual covers. And, it’s all fun and light reading, so whatever your pleasure, these little delights make for great bedtime reading 😋 4.5-Stars 🖤*

[Alis Renzi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un trio speciale!
Un fratellastro, una sorellastra e un migliore amico comune!

Questa novella è sexy, ha brio, e scene erotiche da favola. Si la trama esiste, ma non è sviluppata troppo. Diciamo che con qualche spiegazione in più poteva diventare davvero un bel libro su un Poliamore/reverse HAREM.
Qui è un Erotico con base romance. Nulla di che ma godibile comunque.

I tre amici/parenti sono innamorati l'uno dell'altro ma non se lo dicono per paura del cosa dirà la gente, ma una sera la loro timidezza si trasforma e diventa sfrontatezza. I tre fanno sesso e decidono di non nascondersi più e di vivere il tutto normalmente senza paura.

Nessun colpo di scena segue a questo (forse la storia dei genitori può creare scompiglio nella mente ma nulla di speciale ecco.)

Una bella lettura. Molto rapida ed incentrata sul sesso.

[Valentine · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was my third book to read in the Itty Bitty Delights series and honestly I just can’t get enough of this small town’s drama. I LOVE how all of the characters from each book are connected in some way shape or form. Yes, it does get a tad confusing sometimes remembering names and storylines but I love having a wealth of background on everyone mentioning.
I was SO excited for Jamison, Reed, and Rayn’s story the instant they were mentioned in Bryan’s book and DAMN did it not disappoint 🥵 the chemistry was scorching, the men were drop dead sexy, and Rayn was the glue that held them all together. Just enough plot to prevent the smut from becoming repetitive with enough detail to have you sweating.
And of course Alex did an amazing job of teasing you just enough about Asa and Taylor that now I’m dying for their book as well!!

[Maria Hunt · Rating 5 out of 5]

After some of the previous books in this series I've been eagerly waiting for Rayn and Jamison's story and it was so worth the wait. The glimpses of their past and seeing how Reed turned their duo into a close knit trio kept me hooked. I'm always up for a great menage romance and the deep connection between this triad had me grinning in anticipation from the start. I loved watching their friendship blossom into so much more. Once they accepted what had always been right in front of them things got down right steamy and I was all for it. I'd love to take a one way trip to Silver Falls in search of a Reed and Jamison of my own. Goodness those two had me squirming in the best of ways! The Itty Bitty Delights series has quickly become my favorite go to for quick, sweet yet sexy reads and Doing Taboo Things definitely checked off all the boxes.

Alex Grayson's Itty Bitty Delights are some of my comfort reads, hands down. It's hard to choose which one is my favorite (out of all the ones that are out at this moment that I'm reviewing this book), but one thing I can say is that it only gets better and better.

Rayn, Jamison, and Reed have been best friends in forever. The chemistry of these three are way up the roof blowing it tf off. The doubts, the pining, and the smut scenes are all chef's kiss. I liked the writing style and how easy it was to read, like the other books preceding this one.

I'm craving for more of these short, steamy, delectable stories. Well written and comforting with the promise of a happily ever after. Just what I need to pamper myself at the end of the day. I'll be sure to keep coming back to these books when I want to feel good, or better when some days demand it.

Okay in a way Alex Grayson is back on track with the Itty Bitty Delight series and oh my god was this book hot. Rayn is one lucky woman living out all us women have secretly dreamed. Though they are best friends something definitely has changed not just in her but the men as well. I loved seeing that they try to stay casual but Rayn is a woman you cannot ignore and seeing them finally admit their feelings was awesome. This storyline doesn't just stop at one character Alex Grayson brings back everyone from Charlotte, Aleah, Bryan and we see more of this town.

3.5 Stars-This One Wasn't For Me...

The Itty Bitty Delights series has been more hits than misses for me, however this book is in the latter column. While not necessarily a fan of the ménage going on here with Jameson, Rayn and Reed, I did like that in the background, the next book was setting up seems it's going to be funny and of course sexy.

I wasn't into the storyline, but the book is once again well written and sexy as all get out. A nice addition to the interconnected series. Next up is the Asa and Taylor. Hopefully the rock star is everything she's been dreaming about.

4+ stars - Stepsibling AND Menage...yes please!

So this one has two tropes I adore - Rayn is not only drawn to her step-brother, Jamieson, but also their best friend, Reed.

This one was highly entertaining, insanely hot, and also sweet! I enjoyed the dynamics of this trio and definitely wanted more. I really wish there had been some further development with Jamieson and Reed, but alas - I'll have to dream!

This story did have a turn that I wasn't expecting. Overall - highly entertaining, quick taboo read. I'm back in the game with this series!

I voluntarily requested and read an advance reader copy.

[Nicole A · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am loving this series of novellas! Doing Taboo Things is a short, taboo read and is so hot!
Rayn is in love with her best friends, Reed and Jamison, who also happens to be her step-brother. She’s never acted on it but pines away secretly for them. But both Reed, who is bi, and Jamison have secretly wanted the others too. Circumstances lead them to be living together and one night changes everything! There are obstacles to overcome and worries of their family’s reaction.
The characters are relatable and the spicy scenes are hot! Especially, when the very straight Jamison gives in to his attraction for Reed! This novella was fantastic and I can’t wait to read more in the series!

[thenerdybookworm_ · Rating 5 out of 5]

This dirty little novella, is packed with delicious heat and a spiciness that’ll make you sweat.

Jamison and Rayn are step siblings, who have been best friends with Reed since high school. When Rayn needs a place to stay, the guys offer up their place. When things begin to heat up and the lines start to blur, will this threesome become a reality or will reality keep them apart?

Alex Grayson does threesomes right. Jamison, Rayn, and Reed have explosive chemistry and I loved their friendship. I loved the story and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

[Hanan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved Reed, Jamison and Rayn.
All three have been friends foe a long time.
Along the way their feelings change and expand into more and dips into the taboo.
These characters had some seriously explosive chemistry.
And their interactions are explosive and sizzling hot!
I loved that their relationship started as friendship.
Which grew and blossomed into more.
Since theirs is an unconventional relationship they needed that strong friendship foundation in order for them to grow.
These Itty Bitty Delights are truly delightful and I’m enjoying each book❤️
