Ryker For years I dreamed of seeing her again. But without a last name or a phone number, I knew it wouldn't happen. She became a dream, a crushing memory, nothing more than a remember when. Until I found her in my home, sitting with my twin brother, tears in her eyes. She threw our world off its axis but even so, I want her more than ever. But I don't want her to be mine. I want her to be ours.
Daisy Jane is a forbidden love romance author, inspired by VC Andrews and more . When she's not penning a hot age gap novel or dreaming up steamy stories, she's enjoying the sunshine and warmth at her home in California. She enjoys reading, true crime, exercise and, of course, romance.
It's a shame when a book with great smut is marred with a ton of other problems that it makes it too frustrating to finish. I loved the setup in that it's a MFM with twins and an age gap and taboo (ex's dad and uncle). But Rhett's existence (the ex) as a character took up WAY too much mental and emotional stress and importance. I get it. There needs to be angst, but does it REALLY need to ALL tie to him??? And for such an abhorrent human being, why does he get to affect so many things? Especially when there's on screen abuse from him.
I loved the kinks here between the trio, but the drama and forced angst is just not worth it. I also ABSOLUTELY hated the choices the characters made here. Major spoilers
On top of that, I really hate to get kind of political here BUT major spoilers and TW/CW:
This book is 90% smut, 10% plot, which was expected given the genre and cover.
One thing that I didn’t like about it was one of the k!nks. It was totally my fault because I read the TW section at the beginning of the book and it said to go the author’s website for a full list of TW/CW and I didn’t. So it’s totally on me! But… this book is BIG on lactation k!nk, which just isn’t my thing. But if you do enjoy that, I highly recommend this book!
It’s a taboo MFM (no MM action at all). It’s about twin twin brothers who fall for the same girl. It’s got a lot of k!nks: ✅ Br€€ding ✅ lactation ✅ praise
There’s also on the page SA (not by either of the MMC’s).
I was super excited for this after reading Cherry Pie. Plus all the advertised tropes?? I was pumpeddd. However, this was a lot more emotional/serious than I was anticipating lol.
The book started off good, got reaaaaal serious quickly and then some pretty decent spice between her and the twins.
Unfortunately, the relationship started feeling incredibly forced once she announced she was pregnant, and then things turned technical with all the ‘we’re going to have to offer a serious commitment’ talk the brothers had. Making it seem like they felt obligated to take care of her instead of genuinely wanting to. Which honestly… they didn’t have to. They all mutually (idiotically, I’ll add) agreed to go their separate ways and didn’t contact each other during the separation. The brothers even started dating again!
Also, I don’t know how to feel about the whole Rhett thing because he raped her, often apparently. So when Ryker would say things like he ‘wished Rhett was here’ to see the baby be born… I cringed hard. He was a drug addict. A cheating, mentally & physically abusive human. Most importantly… A RAPIST. Why on earth would you want your child/grandchild to be exposed to someone like that?
I found myself incredibly irritated with Ember when it came to telling her mom, and potentially ending things for good with the twins if she didn’t approve. Girly, you were married for THREE years and not once did you introduce your husband and mother OR tell her how shitty he was, but now you’re worried about what she’ll think?! I couldn’t have rolled my eyes harder at her freak out 😂
Also, why was it only Ember & Rykers POV?? River was apart of the relationship yet we got one chapter in his POV and that was the dang epilogue.
Their sex scenes were good, but some moments felt a bit repetitive.

Tropes: - Taboo MFM (No ⚔️) - Age-Gap (18 years) - Twin Brothers - Polyfidelity - Breeding & Lactation Kink - Ex-dad & Uncle - Fated Mates • CW/TW: - Domestic Violence - Sexual Assualt - Rape (On-page) - Drug use that leads to addiction - Unexpected Pregnancy from a difficult relationship - Child-Birth (On-page) - Mental Health topics
Bro, this was a book of obsession. And honestly, this book is the most abstract compared to the books that I usually read. And it was very enjoyable.
Now, this was my first Taboo book (I think, don't hold me accountable on that) and it was something that I for sure wouldn't mind reading more of. It also is the first Daisy Jane book that I completed. (I stopped reading "Where Violets Bloom" because I want it in paperback 🙃) And I wasn't disappointed 😉.
The main characters in this book are Emeber, Ryker, and River. Ryker and River are twin brothers. That is the Taboo aspect of this book and please don't go straight to thinking what I know you must be thinking. There is no incestual thing going on between them. (No ⚔️) There is a whole chapter explaining what they are for each other and what kind of relationship they have. (It's called Polyfidelity)
Look, this book has some aspects of kinks that both, I am okay with, and ones that are new. Which is a specialty for Daisy Jane. I honestly am fine with the breeding kink and now, I am fine with the lactation kink. Yeah, you read that right. Lactation. Kink.
I do recommend this book if you are looking for something new 😏.
Daisy is the only one who can get me to read about a lactation kink, she makes it h o t.
Not only is this book filled with delicious spicy scenes that I ate up and left not crumbs, it’s filled with such emotions I was not expecting. You don’t just read about the grief these characters go through, you experience it with them.
We get the beloved ex boyfriend’s dad trope in this… but add the uncle in the mix as well. Hot dayumm🥵🥵
“𝒮𝒽ℴ𝓌 𝓊𝓈 𝓌𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒶 𝑔ℴℴ𝒹 𝑔𝒾𝓇𝓁 𝓎ℴ𝓊 𝒶𝓇ℯ.”
I loved this from start to finish, the story line is so good, one scene will live rent free in my head for sure…👀 I can’t wait to have this on my shelf!
Tropes; MFM Breeding Age gap Lactation Twin Brothers (ex boyfriends dad and uncle)
Raleigh Two is a spicy, age gap, MFM taboo romance. Emphasis on the SPICY!
A life changing event, grief, loss, and heartache all connect Ember, River, and Ryker.
What starts off as a way to grieve, quickly becomes more as Ember, Ryker, & River realize there’s more than just grief connecting them.
Woah boy! This taboo romance is more than just spice. It’s emotional, and shows love really knows no bounds. Ryker and River are too silver foxes I’d love in my corner and Ember is one lucky girl.
I enjoyed the story and Ms. Jane really knows how to give us such a wide range of emotions. Plus her stories never fail to hook you from beginning to end. Not to mention all the kinks she unlocks for you in the way.
Tropes: - MFM - forbidden love with taboo factors - twin heroes (NO ⚔️) - billionaire heroes who own the town - age gap (18 yrs) ~ 44 & 26 & 44 - meet as hostages in a bank robbery - breeding kink - mommy milk/lactation kink - pregnant with the heroes’ grandchild - she was married to the hero’s son - dead ex husband (no love lost) - she gives birth on page + there are fluff scenes with the baby
POV: first person - dual (plus epilogue is in the 2nd hero’s pov)
Type: stand-alone
This was very entertaining.
Only complaint is that the first sex scene popped up too early considering the son of the hero had just died. Dragging it out with more tension would have been nice.
I’m dnfing this at 50% but also going to consider it “read” because I skimmed really fast through the second half to finish it.
The one star I’m giving this is purely reflecting my own NON-enjoyment of the story, I actually really like the author’s writing, and I feel if the plot was more my thing, the characters would have really got to me as well.
Loses half a star for the incorrect breastfeeding information. It's a pet peeve of mine, as a qualified breastfeeding peer supporter. Otherwise it was a good read. Lots of steam, low angst, and good characters.
OMG! Absolutely loved this story! The way everything comes full circle and meeting people at the right points in life. Daisy Jane has done it again! This story is absolutely phenomenal and the poly love is so well written!
Good idea... I liked most of the intimate scenes and the beginning of this book.
Ryker was depressing, Ember was boring, and River was pretty much just an extra body. I personally did not feel like this was a HEA.. the relationship felt forced because everyone went their separate ways for two months with no contact, AND the twins were dating. But Ember shows up pregnant and all of a sudden it's "WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU". Get real, that was not believable.
Also, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND that Ryker is Rhett's father.. but for him to bring him up every 5 seconds because he's missing out got old quickly! Even when he was alive he was a shit human.. he stole, lied, did drugs, and oh yea.. RAPED his wife MANY TIMES!!!
I did NOT like how there were 3 people in this relationship from the start to the end yet River never had a POV until the epilogue. And that was just a list of their kids and a love scene. Readers either get boring Ember or depressing Ryker.
I LOATHED the way something big would be about to happen and when you turned the page there would be a summary of what happened. It was lazy.
It was meh for me...
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This story had so much potential but ultimately fell flat and I found my self loosing interest about 60% of the way in.
Okay so this was a super quick and spicy read. I loved the concept around the storyline and the elements that made it taboo… however, the whole plot was rushed and underdeveloped and the characters felt so wooden.Not much was expanded upon and there felt like there was big info dumps that didn’t actually give any info away…. It felt like a lot of internal monologues but they are very repetitive and quite whiney especially from the FMC.
The audacity of this plot!!!! My gosh!!! My jaw was on the floor, lol. I never would have guessed that this book was going to go all the places it went, and when I say THE PLACES IT WENT!!, LOL!! This book was emotionally deep and filthy, and I loved every minute of it. This plot was like a classy Jerry Springer wet dream, lol.
The opening scene of this book had my gut in knots. And not because of the bank robbery. This book touches heavily on the pains of loving someone with addiction and specifically a child who is an addict. The way Ryker was doing everything he could to get to his son before he left, the threats of the deep seeded addiction being spewed by his son who he loves so much cranking up the pain he's navigating in such fear of losing his boy. But then it all shifts when the small talk with the beautiful young girl ahead of him at the bank turns into a moment between two people locked into surviving the same danger together and then that moment is ripped away but leaves a lasting impression that no one knows will come full circle in a way that no one in a million years would believe. But it does, and it's both heartbreaking and aw inspiring if it were to be a real-world situation.
After 3 years of more lived experiences, our FMC Ember is doing her best to navigate the trauma that left her stumbling into doing what the beautiful man who laid next to her on the bank floor told her to do. The problem is that it led her into a quick marriage and more pain than she was ready for. Ember's relationship with Rhett was so painful. Such a back and forth between two people truly not trying to harm anyone but drowning heavily. Rhett is such a delicate case, and you don't realize how deep his pains run until much later in the book, but when you do, it's so sad. The way his father and Ember both discuss him. The differences in their relationship with him and how, even through all the pain, they tried so hard to save him. There is this delicate situation they are all figuring out on top of understanding that you can love someone and acknowledge their addiction but also hold them accountable for the pain they caused you when lost in it. But his loss brought more together than anyone would have realized.
When Ember shows up at his father's house to finalize his burial after his overdose as his wife, it opens up so much. Like the fact that his father is the man from the bank. And that he has an identical twin. And from that point forward, it just gets wild.
The undeniable pull that Ember feels to Rhett's dad is overwhelming and a spark that had been planted before Rhett and Ember even crossed paths. Her jumping into a marriage with him as soon as she left town and met him makes so much sense, considering he looks like his father and his father has never left her mind. River, Ryker's brother and Rhett's uncle is just an additional flavor to the family mix and when Ember and Rykers tension finally comes to a head while she's staying with them during funeral plans, deeper discussions have to be had in regards to not only her recent late husband and the dynamic at play there, but that Ryker and River have very specific relationship tastes that have impacted their lives in deeper ways than Ember knows and will cause more pain later on as this story keeps getting more involved.
This book is emotionally deep. The dynamic of loss and grief paired with all of these people also navigating indepent traumas plus trying to figure out how to all move forward with a relationship that is so out of the norm is a challenge. The spice is so spicy... Ryker and River are a duo of epic proportions, and it just seems to get stickier and steamier in that area. This is such a taboo plot alongside the deeper situations and emotions at play. The things these men do to Ember as beyond blush worthy. The spice continues to grow after Ember gets pregnant, and I have to admit there were some moments I wasn't expecting and had my eyes bugging lol. Mommy and milk play was new for me, lol. I admit it had me cringing. It was the only part I cringed at, but that's a personal thing, lol.
This book is so steamy but also heavily emotional as serious pains are navigated alongside the salacious relationship between our characters. The drama and tension and plot drops were all really good, the emotions were high, the spice was filthy, and much like Daisy Jane's other titles, I was heavily entertained the entire time. If you want emotional spicy taboo love, this is it!
“Love yourself. That’s the best and most reliable love out there. Self-love.”

Thoughts 💭
Oh Mmmmmm Gheeeeee! What did I just read??? This is my first book from Author Daisy Jane and sweet baby Jesus I’m hooked! This book right here start off with Ember and Ryker running into each other at a bank from time to time. Occasionally flirting but one day they go through a traumatic experience and within those fifteen to twenty minutes they view their lives differently. Once they are rescued they go their separate ways only knowing each others first name. Fast forward three years later something unimaginable heartbreaking happens and they are brought back into each others lives. Meeting Ryker and his twin brother River all feels right to to Ember and realizing all paths that led them up to where they are was meant to be.
Now everyone knows some of my favorite tropes are why chose and breeding kinks and this book right here is exactly why! This book had an good plot to it but the growth and self are that these characters go through to be better people in their relationship was incredible. It’s what anyone would wish for. Healing from their trauma! I especially loved how they explained their relationships but at the end didn’t care what anyone said. The spice was superb. I don’t think I sat right during this whole book. The amount of times that I realized my jaw was open was ridiculous. The breeding kink was top tier!! Chefs kiss in my opinion. The things I would let these men do are to me is insane.. Overall it’s an amazing read and I recommend if you into why chose with some breeding kinks.
“This child isn’t biologically mine; it is ours. It wouldn’t matter if neither Ryker nor I were the biological father, either. We’re a family, and love is what binds a family. Blood can link us, but love is what keeps us afloat.”
But seriously can we talk about the open communication and the love that these three had with each other! I think that’s what made me love this book even more. ♥️♥️

Ember has an encounter with a stranger. In an unlikely situation, Ryker helps her to get through, their connection instantaneous, and then they go their separate ways.
Three years later, Ember comes face to face with her mysterious man, Ryker, and his twin brother River. It's where Ryker learns the harrowing truth about his son Rhett from his wife Ember.
As they lay Rhett to rest, Ember lays bare to Ryker and River the truth of what she endured in those three years with Rhett and what he subjected her to. Ryker is ashamed, but he'll do anything to make it up to her.
Ember returns home, she feels like she is going out of her mind, she wants to drown out her pain, it's where she learns that Rhett left her with a parting gift: she's pregnant.
Without a second thought, Ember returns to Ryker and River, where she shares her news with them. Knowing that she carries a part of Rhett, they both step up, being what she needs.
Because Ember finally admits that she loves them and they love her. They are with her every step of the way. When Ember shares her news with her mom and the harrowing truth of what she endured, and comes to realise that Ryker and River are more, it takes her mom awhile to come around, yet her mom is accepting of her polygamous relationship.
Ember is finally in her happy place. She has two men who are deeply in love her and worship her, but are also helping to heal her trauma and come to accept herself and who she is as a person.
In an impromptu delivery, Ember gives birth to her and Rhett's child, a little girl Phoenix with the live and support of Ryker and River. They are already in love with their daughter.
Life is happy and blissful for Ember, Ryker, and River. Her guys built her a new school where she can go back to teaching. When she's not doing that, they're busy filling her with thier cüm, their aim to keep her full and pregnant. With Phoenix, Ruby, and Ridge to contend with, they are nothing short of how full their home is with the love, laugh, and joy they all bring.
Through healing, they find their happily ever after with each other and one they will cherish with every breath and fibre of their being.
This book does come with trigger and content warning. Please adhere to your mental health and wellbeing matters.
This book was filthy, dirty, wicked, depraved, taboo, steamy, spicy as Ryker and River were unrelenting dominant alpha males intent on giving their girl the pleasure and pain that she deserves.
* Ryker's in a hurry to see his son Rhett before he leaves. Rhett gives his dad 10 minutes before he leaves but Ryker has to go to the bank first. He meets a pretty blonde Ember and they have small talk while they wait in line. Until 4 armed bank robbers come into the bank. He tries to calm her, they link pinkies and talk about what she will do when the robbery is over. When police and SWAT drag him away from her, after being looked at by paramedic's he can't find her. He gets a call from his son saying he left.
3 years later... Ember mover across the country for her adventure. She's married to Rhett. Rhett is on high in drugs, and Ember is asking for a divorce because she's afraid of him and done with his abuse. She asks him to leave and he attacks and rapes her. He died the next day. Ember goes to tell his father about his death, when she meets River. River calls Ryker home. Ember tells them about her story with Rhett and his drug problem. He OD on heroin.
~ Feelings are fucking assholes, aren’t they? They just go ahead and do whatever the fuck they please without your permission.
After hooking up with the twins twice, Ember asks why he hated his dad and uncle. They told her how they unknowingly started a relationship with his ex girlfriend that had left him. Which is why he left and started heavy drugs in the first place. When the twins found out she knew who they were they kicked her out. After hearing that Ember told them that after the funeral she will go back home. They can't do this to Rhett. It happened before that it turned out bad. A couple months later, Ember finds out she's pregnant... She goes back and tells Ryker and River, and tells them about what happened the day before Rhett died.
~“Together, we’ll make you feel good. You’ll be our good girl. A very good fückïng girl. And every day after this, you’ll tremble when you think about how we made you cūm. You’ll be obsessed with us, we’ll fückïng ruin you.”
** 🛑 I didn't like that River didn't get a POV until the epilogue.
🛑 Also Ryker always saying he wished Rhett was there... Like I get it... That's your son... But he literally abused and raped the girl your in love with for 3 years. So 😬 idk how I feel about it
I’m rounding up here for now, but it took a lot of consideration. Ultimately I will try this author again but this book wasn't a perfect match.
To start off, the blurb is kinda trash and tells you nothing. This book is taboo on a few levels, but the main coupling is Ember, our FMC, Ryker (the father of embers dead husband), and River (Ryker's identical twin and the uncle of Ember's dead ex-husband). Rhett is the dead ex-husband, and for someone that’s dead by, like, the first chapter, he’s unfortunately a huge part of the story. Way too much part of the story, imo. I gave zero shits about how the other three are internally dealing with this abusive dudes death by OD. (Again not really a spoiler, it’s at the start of the book).
Anyway, a few kinks and taboos.
These things are not really mentioned in the blurb but they are what drew me to the book from stalking others Goodreads shelves. For all the taboo and kink you would think this would be hotter. And it was spicy spicy for sure in a lot of scenes. But those scenes became super repetitive and felt like page filler. Anyway I digress. The writing overall was better than I expected in a book like this so that’s a win.
Raleigh Two By Daisy Jane Narrated by Tor Thom, Daisy Jane
Taboo? Spice? Age gap? I am all in with tropes like this and Daisy Jane delivered! Ember is in the wrong place at the right time. On the ground during a bank robbery is not the place to be but being protected by a strong, handsome stranger was the light. This first time Ryker saw Ember proved to be something he could not forget. But no last names, and unable to find her after the chaos proved impossible. Now three years later, she shows up at his house, giving him some bad news. But she is there! And both River and Ryker have taken a liking to this young beauty. But circumstances prove just how twisted fate can be. This is hot, no doubt about it, but the twists and turns Daisy Jane took me on were surprising and I loved how each was solved. Each scene reveals something new and exciting and the amount of love is what it's all about. Loved this one and look forward to more!
Tor Thom and Daisy Jane are the story tellers for this gem and they are incredible together. Thom pulls out all the charm, alpha protectiveness and warmth as twins, Ryker and River. His ability to keep their personalities and voices distinct made me fall for them both, his warm baritone key to the story. Jane uses her talent to create Ember as the young, capable woman she is. Her voice reflects the changes from the first scene of fear and needing to live life to the woman she becomes. This narration is exquisite.
Raleigh two ✨review✨ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 (yes I’m giving it 6 because it bloody deserves it 😍)
“After tonight, one man will never be enough,” River warns. I release her neck. She nibbles her bottom lip, gaze swimming between the two of us. “I’ll take my chances.”
❤️ex husbands dad ❤️ex husbands uncle ❤️sharing - throuple ❤️pregnancy ❤️lactation kink ❤️age gap
*tw talks of drug use and OD*
This might be the hottest and filthiest thing I’ve ever read in my life!!!!! I love that they worship her and share her so wholly, how that connection has been there from the beginning and they make it their duty to make sure she’s happy and most certainly satisfied.
“All we’ve done is breathe and miss you.” -Oh my actual god I’m obsessed with them!!
I think it’s so hot the way they want to breed her constantly and boy do they 😍 the incessant need to please her to make her feel better in any way whilst also showing her so much love and not allowing her to be self conscious is the most adorable thing!!!
Daisy (once again) I’m honestly in awe of every single thing you write 😭😭
“Ember is the most breedable, beautiful woman. Seeing her pregnant, witnessing her body change to provide for our flesh and blood—I never want her not pregnant.” - and hell do they make sure of that 😂
This read is one I recommend to everyone!!! You’ll not regret it!!!! The tropes are EVERYTHING😍
Daisy Jane’s writing always pulls me in, and when she has it performed in audiobook? The characters jump from page to the microphone with all the charm and sexiness Daisy writes with, and leaves nothing behind.
Raleigh Two follows the story of Ember, a young woman who trauma bonds with an older man…only to lose contact with him that day. Fast forward three years later and her husband dies. When she returns to his hometown she meets his uncle….and his dad. And from there things truly change.
Daisy Jane and Tor Thom narrate this standalone in duet style, and it is eight hours worth of deliciousness. I really enjoyed that Daisy narrates her female POVs — she is expressive and gives her characters vibrancy. Tor really leaned into the creation of the two male characters while voicing River and Ryker. Daisy and Tor have voices that complement each other well, and they matched each other well during emotional and spicy scenes.
The spice is prevalent in this story, as well as some unconventional k!nks (l@citation and bre3ding being the top) and they are written and used beautifully to enhance the intimacy of the scenes. I always enjoy the steam Daisy drops into the story, while still highlighting the love and respect within the characters. This story does have some TWs, so please check in with those before diving in.
Raleigh Two is a taboo, age gap mfm romance. Ember and Ryker meet under traumatic circumstances. Even though their interaction lasts only 20 minutes, they are irrevocably connected. They both lose each other in the mayhem that ensues, but can’t forget each other. Fast forward three years and another traumatic experience brings them together once again. Grief and loss start their reconnection and Ryker’s twin is thrown into the mix. River and Ryker are a package deal. A hot twin package deal that are wholeheartedly full of love and passion for Ember. What begins as making each other feel good, builds to a bond that is unbreakable. This story is powerful and emotional. Daisy creates characters that are complex and interesting, making sure that we are invested in their HEA. There are lots of surprises and secrets revealed that had me devouring this book in one sitting. And omg!!! The kinks are exciting in this one! The smutty times are so hot and the love and trust the 3 of them share are evident. If you like kinky, hot times and emotional bonds and connections then Raleigh Two is for you!
This book was muuuch better than anticipated! The smut was actually pretty underwhelming to me, compared to the plot, which was completely unexpected. Don’t get me wrong, it does get smutty, but the smut seems to be the same thing, over and over again. I’m not saying I didn’t like it, I just found myself speed reading it after the first few scenes. I will warn, there’s a kink that doesn’t appear until later in the book and it was a) unexpected, and b) hasn’t historically been my cup of tea - it didn’t necessarily turn me off to the book, I was just kind of like “huh… didn’t see that one coming…”. I enjoyed the kink a little more than I have in past books where it’s featured. I was beyond impressed that there was indeed a plot, that the plot drove the story (rather than the smut), and that it got pretty heavy. Very well-written, smooth dialogue, characters you could love very easily, no build-up to a huge “tear them apart because there’s a miscommunication/lack of communication/misunderstanding blah blah yada yada” conflict, which was nice. I really enjoyed this story and would definitely read more by Daisy Jane in the future!
I couldn’t find anywhere that would show the synopsis of this story, even goodreads! I seen someone recommend this on tiktok as a MFM,so I knew it was a why choose & just dived in🥵🥵
I was not expecting it to be this! I was apprehensive about the father & son duo but that went away quick🥴 even the main male characters being brothers let alone twins had also kinda freaked me out but I think the author did a good job keeping it from feeling like incest.
Lines were crossed but like a little dip of a toe over🥴 this book has a lot of mentions about drug addiction, rape, death and depression. This book isn’t just about the taboo aspect of being with two men but has a real plot to it that talks about some heavy things. Our female character Ember really went through a lot before meeting our guys, and they don’t shy from the details.
This book has a lot of different taboo topics, I mean we all read smut so we know the kinks but prepare yourself because I was surprised by a couple events😂. overall I didn’t think this book was bad, it felt kind of bland overall idk how to describe it but I’m actually excited to read some more from Daisy Jane even if this wasn’t my favorite.
Was this book 90% smut and 10% plot? Yes and I was absolutely living for every single second of it👀
This book starts of where Ember & Ryker meet during a bank robbery (yes a bank robbery) and may I say sparks were flying. Of course Ryker only got Embers name and nothing else.
Fast forward to 3 years later where River (Rykers brother) calls Ryker and tells him he needs to get home immediately as some woman who was Rhett’s wife (now widow) has just showed up to their home with news of his son Rhett (who suffered from addiction due to past trauma) who he lost contact with years ago. Long story short- this woman who was Ember the very same woman who he met 3 years ago.
I’ve haven’t read a lot of Taboo romance and I honestly don’t know why, but this book god damn - I mean her deceased husbands Father and Uncle👀 if you are looking for a quick spicy book with minimal plot then I would 100% recommend this book.
Also please check TWs before reading as this book does touch on sensitive matters.
Shout out to narrators Daisy Jane and Tor Thom for making my long drive bearable. I listened to the majority of Raleigh Two traveling this weekend and somehow I was blushing way more listening than I was when I eyeball read it 🤭
Raleigh Two starts out with Ryker and Ember getting caught in the middle of a bank robbery and being there for one another and then going their separate ways. Until years later when Ember shows up to Ryker’s house where he lives with his twin, River, and shares some devastating news with them. The three bond over their trauma and lines blur while River, Ryker and Ember find themselves in the most loving a fulfilling relationship any of them have been in. I had so much fun listening to this book, not only did it pack an emotional punch but it was HOT. The lactation 👀 I have nothing appropriate to say LOL. Who wouldn’t want to be endlessly spoiled, loved & bred by twin millionaires?
If you’re looking for a quick, spicy DUET audio: be on the lookout for this one to release. Thank you to Daisy for the ALC!
Man oh man! I don’t know what I was expecting going into this one, but woah, I was sweating from all the heat this book brought! Daisy Jane always has a way of getting me completely entranced in her stories.
MFM romance Forced proximity Age gap Br33ding k!nk Lactat!on k!nk
Ember, Ryker, and River’s story is unique, but these two brought out all the spice, while also playing with my emotions. Ember comes to the Raleigh’s residence with some bad news, and never leaves. Ryker and River are twin brothers who like to share (NO MM action AT ALL.)
Ryker and River have found the perfect missing piece to their puzzle and Ember is exactly where she should be. There is breeding and there is lactation k!nks and what more can you ask for?!?
Tor Thom and Daisy Jane are fantastic narrators for this duet narrated book. Daisy’s narration is spot on for the vulnerable and sweet side to Ember, and Tor performs both Ryker and River’s different personalities spot on. This narration pairing couldn’t have been more perfect for this book!
