4 stars and +1 for *ahem* the audacity and the most depraved classiness I've ever witnessed
You didn't just catch me rating a book that features a pedo groomer(a grooming pedo if you insist) as a protagonist brazen five stars.
But even if by some lucky chance you did, technically, 👉🏻👈🏻 this is a Reylo fanfic so... it wouldn't count either way. 😇
Now that we've established that everything written beyond and above is the product of your sick imagination, make sure to not project your morally justified insecurities on the perfectly innocent reviewer of this book ...
trigger warning: grooming, statutory rape, non-con, gaslighting, emotional blackmail, non-con drugging, forced pregnancy (breeding kink), forced marriage, misogynistic society (1950s), physical abuse — domestic violence (not by the hero), infidelity (only in technical terms, for me it wasn't cheating), controlling and obsessive behaviour,
pedophilia
(I know many GR reviewers don't know that criteria for pedophilia imply an adult experiencing a sexual attraction to prepubescent children (as in, not teenagers): loosely speaking, the cut-off point for prepubescence extends to age 13. Since the heroine is fifteen (the hero is 37🌚), I'm applying the term pedophilia loosely here, yet it feels appropriate for this story and the way it unfolds. I think that we can agree that pedophilia or not, this fic isn't a guide on a healthy romantic relationship)
It's the contrast between the most sickeningly depraved whisperings, tender and almost soft cajoling combined with thinly veiled menace and cruelty coming off from Mr. Solo's in waves that amplified the ominous quality to this deceivingly quiet, brooding, self-possessed man.
A much older man preying on and taking advantage of a sheltered, naive, teenage girl (who is certainly not mature and educated enough to make informed decisions let alone realize she's being moulded and groomed) is not supposed to sound so fucking irresistible. I mean... if he weren't proudly carrying around his pedo tendencies...I'd take this predatory, controlling, obsessive, jealous, possessive, toxic, protective and disturbingly unhinged man as my husband and allow him to never let me out of his sight—
Mmhm... 💀💀 a passage in which a married man says the most breeding words this universe has ever heard to the 15 year-old nanny of his wife's baby had no right to also turn out to be a paragraph that ultimately turned my world on its axis, changed my entire fucking life and perspective on things, stirred and awakened my senses,deprived me of my dignity, my morals, my.. 💀
I swear the man's so openly audacious he gaslighted me into following his example — that is, having zero regrets about anything alarming that unfolds right in front of my eyes. 💀💀
A schemy, manipulative, obsessive and unhinged ex-military man suffering from PTSD and showing a glimpse of just enough vulnerability to make you give him an occasional side-eye look... why is that criminal has more layers than the world's tallest sandwich?? 👁️
He smacked her again anyway, ain't that daddy material — 💀💀💀
I actually was physically forced to giggle when Mr. Solo beat up the heroine's father and stole 20 dollars from him like an anonymous street robber to give it back to the man's daughter WHO'S HE'S CLEARLYTAKING CARE OF GROOMING. 💀 His audacity to protect her from an abusive father and deal with her mother as if she were an annoying bug with his conscience crystally clear meanwhile implementing a fully fledged scheme to seduce their poor child so that she never has a single chance to escape from his clutches and also ensuring that he doesn't get in jail. 🌞🌞
Successful, respected gentleman by day, Robyn Good by night, grooming creeper at heart. 🤡🤍
I'm not even trying to be funny right now. I'm actually crying the tears of terror because what had to have happened to me in this life to make me revel in this depravity — the sexual tension between Rey and Solo took me to heights so unfathomable that every time I was reminded of how illegal it was, I hit the ground with the loudest and hardest smack only to be taken higher and higher later, again and again..............
This author is so good at detail, at dark humour, at building the tension, at being subtle one minute and obnoxiously straightforward the next. 🌚
The enormous, undeniable power imbalance in this story, lengths that Mr. Solo was more than willing to go to in order to ensure he gets what he wants in the end... delicious. unmatched. unprecedented. 🤌🏻🤡
Ao3 authors go barefoot to places where published authors don't dare take a single breath near.
My mind is truly blown by how unprofessional authors do manage to create the atmosphere, make me feel all the forbidden, toxic and disturbing aspects of the story on a cellular level instead of merely telling me how I should feel about them like most currently published authors do. Authors really be trying to sell me some purportedly forbidden novels about the heroine's brother's/dad's best friend and such where the forbidden aspect is pulled out of thin air and is in name only when there are ao3 works that ain't giving a fuck and they're doing it like pros. 😭
I didn't live in America during the 1950s, obviously, but I think the author succeeded in creating the atmosphere of those years, portraying the type of relationship dynamics between a man and a woman that would be accurate to this historical period (reminded me of how Marilyn Monroe was firstly married at the age of just 16). Can you imagine? 70 years ago they didn't have pregnancy tests like we do now and they used frogs to determine pregnancy. 👁️👄👁️ I feel so enlightened.
The whole story felt so disturbingly authentic when it came to the characters' psychological profiles, their reactions, choices made and inevitable consequences of those choices that ensued.
It's genuinely believable that the hero could indeed have a prototype, some 37 years old man with severe issues that lived back in the 1950s, way too smart, cunning and unscrupulous and with too many connections at hand to actually get any comeuppance for his questionable deeds, and the heroine was some naive girl born into abusive family environment and extra vulnerable to adult predators due to lack of knowledge and proper adult guidance.
The further into the story, the more ominous shades it was taking on, the shades that were slowly creeping and filling out the space of the narrative.
I'm, truly, never recovering from this author. I can easily envision her getting roasted in hell when the time comes, and I'm seeing myself getting an invitation for the roasting party too. 😌 The author's dragging me down with her into the pits of hell... and over what?? Over a Reylo fanfic??? 💀💀
P.S. this author deserves jail for bringing comparisons between the hero and the heroine's father all the fucking time. 💀💀
Firstly, I wasn't having it.
Secondly, please seek professional help, miss 'i'll make you stan my grooming book no matter the implications' malevolentreverie.
She hates this. She hates him. She wants to go home and crawl into bed with her mother and read a story, and she wants to trade glances with Snap Wexley from afar, and daydream about things that won’t come to pass for several more years. She wants a sweet husband who loves her within reason, not like this. Not this frightening, ominous black cloud, possessive and hungry and unyielding, blanketing out everything around it.

“Why is it,” he mumbles, “that each day apart from you feels like a month?”

I mean... if he weren't proudly carrying around his pedo tendencies...
“You’re going to make a man very happy someday, Miss Niima,” he mumbles against her skin. He kisses her, takes another unsteady breath, and presses another kiss further up her neck. “Aren’t you?”
“Mhm,” Rey mumbles back sleepily.
The hand on her arm wraps around it, then bends her elbow back to remove it from her nightgown strap. Fingers slip under her arm and wander to her chest. One breast is bare under the covers, and when the exploring fingers touch upon it, Rey breathes a little surprised breath. Oh.
“He’ll take good care of you,” whispers the strange voice. He kneads her breast in his palm. “Make sure you have food on the table and something warm to wear to bed and shiny new pearls.” His hand slides away to her belly, rubbing gently. “And you’ll give him beautiful little babies. Won’t you?”
“Mmhm.”
“At least three would be nice,” he whispers. Then his lips are at her ear, voice low and soft, almost sweet, but with an edge that unsettles her. “But we’ll see. I haven’t decided exactly how many beautiful little babies I want to put inside you.”
Mmhm... 💀💀 a passage in which a married man says the most breeding words this universe has ever heard to the 15 year-old nanny of his wife's baby had no right to also turn out to be a paragraph that ultimately turned my world on its axis, changed my entire fucking life and perspective on things, stirred and awakened my senses,
He hurt her just a few days ago and she still isn’t sure what she did wrong.
Mr. Solo tips her chin up on his fingertip. He kisses her, and she shyly withdraws. He follows, cupping her cheek in his big palm.
“Oh, my sweet girl.” He kisses her lower lip, voice low and soft. “Have you not forgiven me yet?”
Rey shrugs limply. He makes a disappointed series of clicks with his tongue and his hand wanders under the blanket.
“You want me to apologize, hm?” Mr. Solo’s fingers work down the line of buttons, popping each open. “Does your papa apologize after he disciplines you?”
“Y-Yes, sir.” Her lips brush his as she speaks, eyes closed. “Sometimes mama makes him.”
“She does, does she?” His hand runs up her stomach to her chest. Rey takes a rattling breath when he cups her breast in his palm, and he kneads lightly. A muscle twitches in the arm behind her back. He’s flicking his ashes. “Then who am I to refute your parents?”
I swear the man's so openly audacious he gaslighted me into following his example — that is, having zero regrets about anything alarming that unfolds right in front of my eyes. 💀💀
A schemy, manipulative, obsessive and unhinged ex-military man suffering from PTSD and showing a glimpse of just enough vulnerability to make you give him an occasional side-eye look... why is that criminal has more layers than the world's tallest sandwich?? 👁️
“I’m a married man, Miss Niima,” Mr. Solo says in a low, frightening tone. “Do you understand me?”
She struggles to nod, but he smacks her again anyway.
Rey’s breaths come quick and short and she squeezes her eyes shut for each subsequent strike. She can’t see—her vision is blurred from tears, even though the sobs remain trapped in her throat. She breathes so quickly that she fears she may faint, and as the pain spreads down her thighs, she wishes she would.
She counts seven slaps, though it feels like many more. She lies there trembling as Mr. Solo rests his hand on the back of her knee. Rey squeezes her eyes shut and presses her quivering lips tight together. She struggles to correct her breathing—then she feels his fingertip tracing the sensitive edge of a welt.
Rey kicks away from him. She can hardly see as she twists on her back, sniffling and hiccuping, but she feels Mr. Solo grasp her ankle and pull her back to his lap. She struggles, whimpering, and he wraps an arm behind her shoulders, raising her up in the crook of his elbow. His other arm goes around her middle, embracing her against his chest.
“Where do you think you’re going?” he whispers. “Hm?” He kisses her on the mouth and lingers there, lips brushing hers when he speaks. “Where do you think you’re going, kitten? Did I dismiss you?”
He smacked her again anyway, ain't that daddy material — 💀💀💀

SICK I AM SO SICK
She stares into Mr. Solo’s dark eyes and a peculiar sensation washes over her: dread, and… peace. Relief. There is, finally, no alternative choice. There is nowhere to flee. She is one word away from stability and safety and nary a difficult thought ever again. A cage, perhaps. But it’s a very lovely cage.
This shit hit
“I would do it all over again.” His warm hand pauses atop her head, thumb tracing the arch of her brow, dark eyes quite intent upon hers. “In the same manner, with the same outcome, in any lifetime—I would do the same irrational, cruel things to have you, my love.” Mr. Solo raises his eyebrows. “In this life or the next, and in every life that has come before—in whatever forms we may take—you will always be mine. Do you understand, Rey?”
Ah such a sweet quote, such bleak reality.

4.5 stars - Well, that was something. 😅
So wrong on so many levels, but I just could not look away. 🤷🏼♀️
(Let’s just get this out of the way before we proceed further: This Star Wars fanfic is about a “relationship” that develops between a 15 year old girl and a 35-40 yr old man, set in the 1950s. There are layers upon layers of wrongness to this. I know this. You know this. None of this is typically my jam. I’m super picky about age gaps and normally DNF any book where the hero comes off as some sort of pedo creep. And yet, here we are. 🫣 - so read on with all that in mind, if you want.)
I really enjoyed the writing style and how this tale was constructed. I was pulled into a story that I would never have tolerated by the current KU published “dark” authors. This was crafted perfectly to pull you in and get you invested so that you are willing to weather the storm with the characters. I loved the subtlety to the kinks and how well the author used the time period to blur the edges, so you don’t feel like you’re reading a BDSM daddy kink novel but just the natural (unhinged) relationship progression of 2 particular people in a very particular relationship. Like this wouldn’t have/couldn’t have happened any other way or between anyone else. Which is how I prefer to experience kinks in romance.
I loved how obsessed and intense the hero was, without being made into an OTT caricature. His feelings and ruthlessness are revealed in subtle ways over the span of the story. I also loved how the heroine was so true to her age. She was suitably naive yet curious and desperate to please, without ever veering into that weirdly porny aggressively oversexed blow-up doll territory, the way a lot of daddy-kink authors like to do.
I was particularly distressed for our heroine around 60-75% and frustrated with and repulsed by the hero, but that cleared and the book ended in a very satisfying way (as much as it can with this set of circumstances) with several epilogues that tied things up quite nicely. Don’t get me wrong, I was stressed and repulsed A LOT during this read. The hero is more an antihero and I definitely felt that uncomfy feeling through the majority of the book. But I do think the author did a great job of resolving that angst, for the most part.
I really enjoyed it over all and want to thank Irunia for the suggestion!!

I’m not going to lie this book made me cry. It was difficult to read but shamefully good. It was hard to believe mister Solo and Rey’s “love story” because I strongly feel as though he was a predator and she a victim. Rather than them having a forbidden love, he chose Rey only because she was a young girl who he could mold into a perfect wife. Basically this is a story about grooming but a realistic one. My heart hurt for Rey and there were times I was sick to my stomach. When she cried for her mother, it was hard. I felt like Mister Solo was a predator who we would all want to protect our future daughters from in real life. The authors going to hell and jail for making the dirty talk as hot as it was 😩😭 The taboo aspect and tension was top notch though ugh.

4 stars and not for this being a romance. More so for the disconcerting political and social commentary of the 50s.
Unsettling, provocative, and mesmerizing. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything like it.
Literally all the triggers though.

So last week me & two of my best friends who’ve I’ve know my entire life went to Las Vegas on a trip and I got into a huge fight with one of them of something beyond stupid I’m Sure.
Anyways as one does feel hurt & sad with fighting with someone you consider like a sister to you, u look for things that’ll make you feel better and to get your mind off it.
Welllll I just want to say that I thank god my lord & savior that he blessed me with good-reads ppl that their reviews show up on my feed and I read their reviews.
Look if an author can write straight up
Pedo/grooming/manipulation/dubcon/rape/ that’s makes you feel sick to your goddamn stomach while also not being able to focus on anything els but the story that fucking deserve five stars in my book.
But alas I can only give it four because frankly I feel
A deep depressive shame and ugly twist in my stomach when I think of this story and I only cried twice while reading it.

February 10, 2023This fic was occasionally extremely boring and also occasionally very disturbing. At times I was definitely not rooting for this couple to get together. (also just as an aside, I have no idea why this is a Star Wars fic. It's set in the fifties and these feel like original characters to me)
The subplot where Rey's mother was being drugged and beaten by her husband for suffering from "female hysteria" (trying to protect her daughter from a sexual predator) and then was later villainized for being a good parent was horrifying. That scene where she's sobbing and saying, "don't let him take my baby" was so, so haunting. This didn't always feel like a dark romantic fantasy and more like a feminist cautionary tale/horror novel.
I've read and loved many dark romances with this type of severe age gap (Nine Minutes by Beth Flynn immediately comes to mind, such a brilliant book) but I think Rey's extreme mental innocence (sometimes she sounded way younger than she actually was) and Ben's deliberate manipulation of that innocence made their relationship a lot more unsettling. There's even a scene where Ben apologizes to Rey and says "when you're older and realize what I've done to you, I hope you can forgive me" it was a bit sickening.
There were some romantic parts to this fic where much like Rey I would buy into their relationship (very deliberate on the author's part, as Rey looks at Ben with rose-colored glasses until the second half of the novel), but a large part of me wishes that maybe she had run off with her mother and met up with Ben after she went to college and grew up a little. Still, I appreciate the way MalevolentReverie wrote this novel and I think she's a great writer. I just wish a few more things had taken place plot-wise. For such a dark story, a lot of it is focused on day-to-day domestic scenes, which I could care less about, tbh.
TW: non-consent, abusive power dynamics, domestic violence, misogyny
The subplot where Rey's mother was being drugged and beaten by her husband for suffering from "female hysteria" (trying to protect her daughter from a sexual predator) and then was later villainized for being a good parent was horrifying. That scene where she's sobbing and saying, "don't let him take my baby" was so, so haunting. This didn't always feel like a dark romantic fantasy and more like a feminist cautionary tale/horror novel.

Since I'm on my way to hell anyway, I can also admit that I enjoyed the book. Objectively, it's wrong on so many levels. Starting with the age gap, the pregnancy, and that Rey has zero idea, really zero idea about sex, contraception, etc. Completely clueless. Nonetheless, it was hot and they were cute together (every now and then) too. When he called her "Little one" I melted. I wish I could say that was the most shocking thing I've read, but no, it wasn't. If you have a shred of morality in your body (unlike me) then don't read it haha.

Ya Rab 😭 horrifying.
How is the rating so high?!
This is genuinely scary, the way these people think an adult man grooming a 15 year old is hot?! And YES I like the Off Balance series, but this is different. This is just creepy. The way Ben acts is repulsive and made me cringe in several instances. What worries me is the way people find it hot and the way this is supposed to be a LOVE STORY with a HEA?! Allah forgive them.

Was it my favorite? no. Have ya'll read any lilith vincent books...the smut there is top tier...

I kid you not..the same people kept commenting how exciting it is that ben is grooming her and that they hope he touches her already...

Dual Virgins but Grooming is included in the book. (almost 16 yo girl, 37 MC)
I was debating for a long time if I should give 5 stars or 4 stars (since I can't give 4.5 stars here) I wanted to give 5 stars cause the writing is so good! And 4.5 stars because Mister Solo was married (even if it was just for the name to save his dead military best friend's girlfriend from shame of getting pregnant without being married in 1950s society) and I wished Mister Solo acted somewhat different sometimes (that one moment when he said he wanted to let her go to live among people who suits her age and how he was kind of keeping a distance from her after she started living in his house)
BUT, I can just ignore the age, but I can't stand couples (the man, mostly) being hesitant about each other 🙃 specially them willing to let go of each other to other people.
This is a star wars fan fiction from what I heard. I have no idea about the ship, I just thought of Mister Solo and Rey as totally new people, not as characters from a movie and the story was better to read that way I think.
And this writer can actually write!!! That too, so beautifully. I hope she continues to write for the rest of her life (Dual Virgin novels specifically cause I don't want to read anything else)
Safety info :
15 yo h, 37 H
Dual Virgins (H gave a peck on his first wife on wedding day as a formality which was a unpleasant experience for both parties as stated and that was all for his past experiences)
H was married but had no relationship no temptations or no feelings with the married woman or any other women even before he met Rey

I loved this, though I did have to leave my feminist ideals and morals at the door. It was well written and hot as F***.

Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.
PRIMERO LO PRIMERO: no me pidan un vaso de agua a partir del primer "kitten".
Ahora, con eso dicho... Es insuperable. Impecable. Indiscutible. Con toda su mierda turbia típica de la época y las ganas de traspasar la pantalla de mi teléfono para darle una cachetada a Rey y otras cinco más a Mr. Solo, aún así. Como dijo Papa: "lo haría todo de nuevo". A sudársela. Por Dio, es que flipo con lo que hizo este hombre para conseguir lo que quería. Un hijo de puta al que igual le dejaría llamarme kitten si la ocasión tocara la puerta (aunque, si tuviera que representar un personaje, en realidad sería Phoebe tbh). Nótese por favor mi xd.
Solamente de repasarlo lo quiero volver a leer. La tensión. LA PUTA TENSIÓN. ¡¡¡¡¡Que esté prohibido!!!!! ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡El descaro del Sr. Solo cuando nadie lo ve!!!!!!!!!!!! Increíble. La audacia del hombre diciéndole "I am a married man, Miss Niima" JA. JAA. (y not me dedicándole varias a la abominación de Eldritch)
En fin, un Lolita de los que mi daddy kink sí que sabe apreciar. Full recomend.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I have many impolite thoughts about you, Miss Niima.” Glass clinks, and a pour comes. “And
because I love you, I won’t be sharing them.”
“Please?”
Glass clinks once more as if Mr. Solo has abruptly stopped pouring his drink. Rey rubs her hand
between her legs, shivering with pleasure.
“‘Please’ does feature in many of those thoughts,”
Pin salabras.

I feel dirty and not in a good way. This book is about a young girl who ends up in the clutches of a much older man. The author did a very good job of grooming description, as I feel groomed myself. The hero is no hero and at times over the top but also -dare I say it?- relatable in what he wants. I suppose he wants a first love, a real nice little housewife. But also some young girl who is to be controlled.. brrrr.. shudders.
I loved the mum, so sorry to read about what happens to her. The end felt rushed and I’m not sure if it was the end.
update: turns out it is not yet ended.. so my bad, will keep an eye out for an update

1.5 ⭐️
This was so disturbing to read but addictive so I couldn’t stop. I hate Mr. Solo and wish he died a horrible death🤞🏽
'She stares into Mr. Solo’s dark eyes and a peculiar sensation washes over her: dread, and… peace. Relief. There is, finally, no alternative choice. There is nowhere to flee. She is one word away from stability and safety and nary a difficult thought ever again. A cage, perhaps. But it’s a very lovely cage.'

Am I sick? Maybe. Is this beyond taboo? Absolutely. Am I questioning whether I'm a good person? Sort of. But wow this was an incredible fanfic/story.
The writing was stunning. The way the author crafted this disturbing yet compelling story was executed perfectly, especially given the sensitive and highly controversial themes it explored.
For those unsure if this is for them (and let me be clear if any kind of taboo story offends you, this is NOT for you), this one is expert level 1000.
Quick Summary:
The story is set in 1950s America. Our FMC (Rey) is just 15 years old when she starts babysitting for her dad’s boss and his wife. The MMC (Mr. Solo) is 37. His marriage is loveless, and the child isn’t even his, he’s the son of Mr. Solo’s best friend, Armi, who went to war with him. The OW (Armi’s ex, and the child’s mother) is actually really likable, so no villainy there.
As Rey spends more time in Mr. Solo’s home, things start to shift. It’s a slow burn nothing rushed or forced. The affection builds in small, deliberate increments: a kind word, a thoughtful gift, a moment of protection, a lingering touch. The tension is palpable, and the storytelling makes it impossible to look away.
I won’t spoil the journey, because it’s one you have to experience for yourself. But know this ...it’s a love story, just not one you should be rooting for. And yet…I found myself going back and forth. One moment, I was against it. Then, somehow, I was all in. Then, I pulled back. And by the end? I was strangely satisfied.
Yes, they get their HEA.
This story crossed a line in my taboo reading, but damn if it was good.

5 stars. Oh, man this was so fucked and I'm never seeing the pearly gates because of how much I loved this. I don't even ship Reylo so I'm not even sure how I got here but I'm glad that I read it because what an emotional, heavy af, immoral, gut punch of a romance this was. The writing was fantastic and the way the story was told had me engaged and addicted from beginning to end. This isn't one I would recommend for everyone but dammit I adored it so much.
Up at five in the morning reading and loving a Reylo fic who am I anymore?

Read for the 2023 popsugar book challenge
MalevolentReverie writes some serious fucked up relationships and i knowingly read their stuff like the deranged sick person I am. Solid writing like this, that’s well in novel length territory, proves some fanfic authors have exactly what it takes to publish works but I’m not sure this author would ever get published based on the tropes they write. Whatever, I loved it, it’s horrible though.

Tão bom, tão incrível. A queima lenta, a perversidade, mulher delicada jovem, homem bruto,mais velho mas que não tem medo de demonstrar seus sentimentos, sua obsessão... Tão errado e tão incrível.
Kkkkkkk achei muito engraçado ele beijando a babá de 15 anos enquanto a esposa chama por eles no andar de cima , apenas leiam com a mente aberta.
Uma das melhores histórias que já li na vida.
