All the dirty & delicious Christmas stars!!

Sweet Blasphemy by Sara Cate ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

From epic steam to sweet emotions Sara Cate never fails to deliver the perfect story and Sweet Blasphemy was not just the cherry on top but the whole dang pie. I want my own Father Roman!!

I didn't expect there to be so many emotions in this novella. Not the ball your eyes out kind of emotion but the back story she laid in such a short time was impressive. I was invested in their relationship before they had crossed the lines from thoughts to actions.

Cora knew it was always going to be Father Roman and she never pushed or tried to seduce him, and I really loved that. I love a good seduction as much as the next person but for them this was just love pure and simple.

Always Been You by Q.B. Tyler ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Q.B. Tyler coming through making me feel all the feels for Gabrielle and James!! I never wanted their story to end...

Wrong. Sinful. Taboo.

"In another life..." he leans down, "I'd make you so happy, and it just kills me sometimes that it can't be this life."

Their love might be forbidden but for 18-year-old Gabbrielle her brother James has been her constant and since she was 13 years old, she has known that he was her forever. Except, they could never be. As Gabi grew older, she knew she had to get rid of these thoughts somehow because while there was no blood relation, he was still her brother. No one would understand.

One fateful night all that changed as James and Gabriella shared a bottle of Jameson. Can these feelings she has been having be reciprocated or is it just the wanting's of a young girl in love? As secrets are revealed and lines are crossed that can never be undone, they start to realize that their feelings could shatter not only themselves but their family as well.

“Make no mistake, Gab.” I reach up and grip her face before bringing her down so that her lips are hovering mere inches above mine. “You have always been mine.”

Gah!! I love a good age gap and then you throw in some taboo action, and I am all over it. Q.B. Tyler really does the best age gaps making you really feel for the characters as well as their story. While some things could be considered "shocking" or "disturbing" I didn't feel that here. All I felt was the love that James and Gabi shared over the years growing into something much more than what it once was.

Check your triggers because the author doesn't deserve a bad review because something made you uncomfortable.

The Attack Zone by B. Celeste ⭐⭐⭐⭐

It has been a hot minute since I have read a book by B. Celeste, and I am kind of kicking myself for it.

Adelaide & Daire were spicy from start to finish! Their banter to the chemistry that they shared was next level and I kind of never wanted their story to end.

While the best friends brother trope might be overdone this was a different take on it and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Bittersweet Revenge by Catharina Maura ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What happens when your boyfriend breaks your heart?
You f*** his brother of course...

This was my first Catharina Maura book, or novella and she definitely knows how to pull you in from the very start!!

You think you are getting a typical girl meets boy at coffee shop, but girl has boyfriend, so boy is going to be all "alpha" about it but nope. Not at all, Silas is most definitely not a boy, and he most definitely isn't going to be all "alpha" because he is the alpha.

Alanna has never seen this man before but one meeting in an alley and she can't get him out of her head. Then she sees him later that night and everything starts to crumble around her. He is not just some random guy in an alley. He is much more.

I was really not ready for this novella to end; I needed so much more but I guess that will have to wait until the full-length novel.

Bittersweet Memories is out now, and I am diving into it ASAP! I've got to know Alanna's secrets as well as how Sila's seems to know things about her he shouldn't.

Dirty Secrets by Ivy Fox & Thandie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Not to be nasty but Nicole's sister and James's son deserved one another because they were both scum.

Now, on to Nicole and James who were both fabulous!! I loved their dynamic and their little past... encounter before this one because baby that added something a bit extra.

As with most of the stories in any anthology my only real complaint is that it wasn't long enough. Their relationship felt a bit rushed, but I think that is only because I wanted more.

Hating Mr. Cooper by Amanda Richardson ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A forbidden romance with a possessive alpha male hero, yes please! Not to mention it is set in Prague at Christmas. Your girl was entirely too giggly reading this story, but it was just too good and sweet not to be.

A holiday in Prague with your best friend seems like the perfect way to spend your last Christmas before college. Add in her father who hates your guts for no reason whatsoever and that holiday is bound to be less than ideal. Except, when the father starts making eyes at you and you start to wonder if those looks, he has been shooting you are because he hates you or because he desires you.

Amanda Richardson delivered the best kind of Christmas story. Something a whole lot naughty and a little bit nice.

Unwrap Him by Nyla K ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
ARC received by Nyla K for her story.

Nyla K never lets me down with her stories. They can be dark, filthy, delicious and I always end up swooning HARD for one if not all the main characters. Unwrap Him was shorter than her other books because girl likes to make them THICK, but it had that same punch that all of Nyla's stories do.

James might not have been Jesse's biological dad, but he did raise him and the feelings that he is having for his guardian are entirely forbidden. He can't help how he feels about James but knows he needs to get his feelings in check before things become far more complicated.

Jesse is my son for all intense and purposes yet after one mistake I am seeing him in a whole new way. He is 18 now but that doesn't make these feelings that I am having for him any less wrong. I need to put an end to this before things go too far.... again.

Unwrap Him is a tasty dirty little morsel for you to sink your teeth into that is going to give you Christmas vibes and full-on hot flashes!!

Through the River - Into the Woods by Leigh Lennon ⭐⭐⭐

You know I might not be the brightest bulb in the tanning bed, but this story confused the living daylights out of me....

I really tried to keep up and I even re-read a few bits to make sure that I wasn't missing something that was subtly there, but I don't think I did. And Kenzie... that girl needs a lobotomy or something. Sweetheart you can't let a man talk to you like that and then bone his brains out because he is "hot" did you learn nothing from fairytales and trash tv?

Not bad, not by any means, just not for me.

Stray by J.D. Hollyfield ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sign me up for a smutty stepbrother romance any day of the week! This one was really freaking intriguing and maybe it was the dynamic between Catalina and Hunter. This story didn't go nearly like I thought it would and I love it when that happens. Sometimes I want predictability and other times I don't. This story was a bit thriller-like but not full on. Kind of like if Freddy had a baby with Krampus minus the monster peen.

Illicit Hearts and Broken Virtues by A.R. Breck ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dirty, filthy, and depraved this story was made for me!! An angsty forbidden, age-gap romance with a biker! Yes please! I am sorry A.R. Beck, have you been snooping around in my dreams? Ask permission next time, or don't because this story was worth it! Talk about giving, this story gave me everything! It had heat, passion and all the forbidden aspects you could ever hope to have in a story such as this. My only complaint is, I want MORE!

Sugar Daddy Santa Claus by Bellamy Roswell ⭐⭐⭐

I've been on this FF kick lately and I think it is because I want women to get the love, they deserve in the same way that MF couples and MM couples do in books, and we haven't seen that as much until recently. Yet, this one kind of let me down because it was just a bit too manipulative. And that really freaking bothers me. While it wasn't for me, the story had good writing and the smut was delicious.

Baby by S. Rena & BL Mute ⭐⭐

Umm... just no... I can't. I really wanted to but nope. I don't do this often, but I am just going to leave this one at not for me and move on.

For the most part this smutty Christmas anthology was everything I was hoping it would be. So much of it I loved and so much of it I didn't but overall, this was a five-star read. Stories are meant to appeal to different audiences and just because some of these stories didn't do it for me doesn't mean they won't do it for you.

Unwrap Him By Nyla K.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Unwrap Him is a spicy and perfect Christmas novella. Jesse and James are everything.

Jesse is aware that his feelings for his guardian, James, are wrong. He has tried to suppress them, to forget them. Easier said than done, and truth always has a way to come out.

The chemistry and passion between the two are off the charts. 🥵In between the spice is sweet, memorable moments. With a touch of grief. Nyla K. Always amazes me. She draws you in and captivates you and delivers a phenomenal journey. If you like age-gap, forbidden, taboo romance with a Christmas theme, Unwrap Him is for you.

My review is for STRAY by JD Hollyfield:

Did someone say stepbrother romance?
They sure did, and I was here for it.
This story was all sorts of naughty and filthy and taboo. And it was utterly delicious.

Cat comes from a family of neglect, abuse, with no affection or love. She does unthinkable things, makes bad decisions. For attention? To receive some sort of love? To feel seen? More than likely.

Enter the sexy AF asshole at school who’s nothing but rude to her. She soon finds out, it’s Hunter, the son of the guy who married her mom. Ugh. But she can’t stop thinking about him.

Anger.
Hate.
Revenge.
Attraction.
Passion.
Love…um, what?

This quick read had enough to keep me interested, pulled in, and entertained. Lots of angst and action, it was definitely a page-turner.

Lordy, these two were barely over 18, but I throughly enjoyed their connection and that bond. If you love stepbrother romance, I’m confident you’ll enjoy this one. It packs a punch!

I look forward to the other stories in this anthology.

Fa-la-la-la-NAUGHTY!!! Someone sat on pervy Santa’s lap this year- and big man DELIVERED. It might be cold outside, but it’s hot up in this anthology that is chock full of some of the most titillating, delicious, and compelling taboo story tellers in the romance genre. So many authors I love- and so many I’ve enjoyed discovering.

Each story had its own forbidden charms- whether you’re looking for some guardian taboo, brother’s best friends or step brothers, teachers, and GASP- even some priests- there’s something for everyone. I loved getting to see each author shine in their own wheelhouses- whether it’s B Celeste with her emotively rich and angsty chemistry delivering on a story that is both steamy and layered, Nyla K hitting many notes and delivering on so much steam, QB Tyler being the queen of forbidden romance steam, or one of my favorite forbidden romance authors Sara Cate creating yet another psychologically intense and intense coupling that had me desperately turning pages. The steam is off the charts across the board- though the tastiest treats for me were Nyla K and Sara Cate’s. All, however, are a delight.

This was such a fun way to combine everything I love- forbidden romance and the Christmas season. Diving into these 12 stories are well worth a stint on the naughty list- so snuggle up, dear sugar plums, and cozy up for some deliciously naughty and addictively well-written Christmas treats. The stockings are HUNG, trees are trimmed, and being naughty is oh so nice.
(and now I’m out of Christmas puns..)

This is a review on a short story in this book by Sara Cate called sweet blasphemy.
What can I say but Sara Cate has done it again with the forbidden relationship of a priest and a parishioner/ nun in training.
Starts off with a young 15 year old going into the church to find solice from abusive parents and a 30 year old priest taking her under his wing and protection. Go on 5 years and the young girl is a beautiful young lady who decided that she will devote her life to God if it means staying in father Roman,s life. All good intentions lead to hell so the saying goes. Let's just say that I must be going down not up when my time comes because I loved this forbidden story.

ARC review for The Attack Zone by B. Celeste:

The Attack Zone is a boyfriend’s older brother romance and the chemistry between Adelaide and Daire is absolutely explosive!! Their moments were my favorite and how they would express their emotions towards each other. From the moments with so much desire between them to the ones where they opened up, I enjoyed them all!!

I also enjoyed the holiday vibes in this book! It made everything feel cute. It also makes you want the characters to go through happy moments.

Sweet Blasphemy by: Sara Cates
😇 Priest/ Nun
😇 Age Gap
😇Care Giver
😇 Forbidden

Dear lord! Father Roman!! I mean, he’s over the top possessive! This story was so dirty, in the best ways possible. Father Roman, that man! I loved how possessive he was of Cora… from the moment he later eyes in her. They were two kindred spirits destined to be in each others lives. Their friendship starts when Cora is 15, trying to escape an abusive house hold. They form a bond one Christmas Eve night and the rest is history. This is a forbidden and taboo love story, that has top notch steamy scenes. I
I think Priest romance, might be my new favorite link/trope.



The Attack Zone by: B Celeste!
🎥 Boyfriends Brother
🎥 Best Friends Brother
🎥 Slight age gap
🎥 Angsty


This story alone is worth the buy. 10 out of 10 recommend. It’s everything I look for in a book! The angst, the drama the dirty talking hero. Like I literally could keep reading about Darien and Adelaide! I just finished and I miss them already!

This is technically boyfriend brother, but there’s more to it. The story had so much depth to it, and Intesity. This is going down as one of my favorite reads in general.

My review is for Always Been You by Q.B. Tyler. Hands down is she the QUEEN of taboo! Always Been You is steamy hot and full of emotion! This book is straight taboo from the beginning. There is angst and sweetness. I absolutely love the confidence from Gabrielle. She is so sure in what she wants. I love the protectiveness of James. These two are just fire and I’m left speechless because it was so good!

This review is for The Attack Zone by B. Celeste. I really enjoyed reading this short story. It starts instantly with the spark between the two main characters. Addy and Daire have a past and relate to each other from being hurt by the same person. This hits the mark with the boyfriends older brother trope. Love that Daire is a hockey player and that Addy is being who she is and doing things her way. This story was well written and captured the steaminess! I definitely think this is one to read!

Review of Sweet blasphemy by Sara Cate

If you don’t mind the extremely forbidden and/or are not attached to religion, you might enjoy this novella a lot.

Don’t expect too much, it’s erotica. Sexy, sometimes filthy, but at least with a lot of feelings and emotions. There’s a real connection developped between Cora and Roman. One that is already forbidden because of the age gap–15 years, and they meet when Cora is still a teenager, but no underage sex here–even if they weren’t two servants of God.

Besides that, it’s the old story of someone’s love of God competing with their love for another human being. The purity and sanctity of real love that God would never condemn. Finding God in someone else’s arms.

There’s some kind of sexy check list going on, with Cora being the virgin experiencing all her firsts with Roman. It can feel a bit artificial, but that makes for a delicious erotic novella. That can’t be a sin.

Quickie

- Series: standalone novella
- Hashtags: #forbidden romance #erotica #priest #nun #age gap #virgin #anthology
- Triggers: parental abuse
- Main couple: Sister Cora & Father Roman
- Hotness: 5/5
- Romance: 4/5
- + I loved the strong feelings between Cora and Roman
- – it was mostly titillating erotica with little to no story

🎄 Sweet Blasphemy by Sara Cate🎄
RATING: 5⭐️

🎄REVIEW: this is a priest-nun agegap romance
Father Roman met and mentored a Cora from the age of fifteen. Yet it’s Cora who’s listed after the preacher the whole time. Going so far as to joining the church as a nun to be closer to him.

These two know it’s wrong, yet they cannot abstain. They simply indulge in all the carnal desires they vowed to ignore in all the wrong places. And still I loved every moment I spent in this story with these characters.

🎁 Unwrap Him by Nyla K 🎁
RATING: 5⭐️

🎁 REVIEW: this is a MM guardian-ward romance
James inherited a 2-yr old Jesse when he was only nineteen. Jesse’s parents were his best friends and a terrible car accident took their life. Jesse never called his dad or father, he was purely James to him.

I always find it crazy how attraction works. You can know someone your entire life and one day the world shifts and that person goes from a friend to your deepest desire. That’s how life was for James, in the blink of an eye he saw Jesse in a whole new light. It scared TF out of him but also gave him a new driving purpose he could ignore.

There’s so much story within so few chapters that I know I’ll come back to it time and again.

UNWRAP HIM BY NYLA K

I'm going to try and get through more of these and I'll rate them as I go, but this was my first venture in to this author. When I saw this novella I thought it would be the perfect intro into her writing and I fucking devoured it. Now I need to dive into more of her books. I hope she has some on audio!

This MM guardian was sexy and addictive. The steam was on point and the characters were amazing. I loved every part of it.

İçinde bir sürü kısa kısa kitaplar var. Her türden kink var, içinde herkes sevdiği karanlığa dair bir şeyler bulabilir. Kimisi gerçekten iyiydi, devamını da okumak isteyeceğim türden, ikisini de yazarları devam ettirme kararı alıp yarım bırakmış burada, o çok sinirimi bozdu. İşin kötüsü çıkmamış da daha kitaplar.
Kimileri de bildiğiniz konulu pornoydu, derinliksiz, sırf seks için yazılmış tuhaf şeylerdi. Onları atladım, yalan yok. Ayy dedim bunu okuyamayacağım. Konu yok, derinlik yok, karakterler karaktersiz...

My review is for Unwrap Him by Nyla K.

This is a naughty little romance featuring a guardian and his adopted "son." James has raised Jesse after he lost his parents (and James' best friends), but Jesse isn't a little boy anymore. Jesse is grateful for James, but he's never called him dad, and he hasn't looked at him as a father figure in a few years now. Jesse is keeping his true feelings under wraps until an "incident" occurs on Christmas Eve which crosses a line that can't be uncrossed.

So, this is obviously a very taboo/forbidden romance, but it's part of the "Twisted Christmas" anthology, so that's to be expected. And since it's a Nyla K. story, you're guaranteed that this MM romance is going to be HOT. There is plenty of heat, but this fun and steamy read also throws a bit of an emotional punch at the end. As with all of this author's books, the final message is the same...the heart wants what it wants, and love is love. End of story.

4.5 STARS!

I love a good taboo, steamy romance and this certainly lived up to that.

This is the forbidden relationship between a priest and a nun. Although short, it actually had a lot of plot and delved into the characters emotions/ backstories really well. Though there’s a small amount of pages, even I fell in love with Father Roman…

‘𝙄’𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩. 𝙄’𝙢 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙛 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙖, 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚.’

Super steamy and super forbidden! What’s not to like?!

Unwrap Him - Nyla K - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nyla sure knows how to give us delicious taboo reads and a guardian/son romance is just that!

James has been Jesse’ guardian since he was nineteen and Jesse, two, when his best friends died, leaving him to his care.

James has never looked at Jesse in a romantic sense, however, Jesse has been crushing on him for years. In a twist of fate, things take a turn, when Jesse makes a subconscious move, taking things a little too far. When reality slams in, James backs away, unable to believe what happened, but starts to acknowledge the stirring feelings inside him.

If you know Nyla, you know she is the queen of taboo and this read is just that. For it being a short read, she completely sucked me into the story and all the emotions within it. They were both trying to reason that what they were doing wasn’t wrong, yet the guilt was there. But when they realised what they had, that did not matter.

The steam was as I expected, hot, sweet, sexy, couldn’t keep their hands off each other and will have your stomach fluttering. I loved Jesse and James so much!

Dirty Secrets - Ivy Fox & Thandie - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nicole is spending the holidays with her ex-fiancé who is now married to her sister. She is still troubled by their betrayal but her sister is all the family she has and wants to move forward.

When she lands in Colorado, she’s can’t face seeing them straight away and takes a detour to the nearest bar. Here she meets James and as their conversation grows, so does their attraction for each other, until they are both stumbling into James’ home for a night of passion. The next morning, Nicole gets the fright of her life, when she realises she has just spent the night with her ex’s father!

James can’t believe his luck and when the foursome has to spend the holiday together in a snowed-in cabin, the heat, chemistry and need for each other only increases.

Although this was only a short read, the story had all the elements I love, secrets, betrayal, tension and all the steam. This couple was hot!

“Sugar daddy Santa baby”
My Rating: ★★★★★

This was a very spicy, taboo novella. My very first MFF as well and it was super spicy! I think the spice rating was off the charts.

Chloe is off to see her ex stepdad for Christmas as her mum has gone off on holiday without Chloe, not that she minds as she had a crush on her ex stepdad, Zane.
Chloe’s best friend Avery was also going to be alone this Christmas so Chloe brings Avery with her. Although Chloe also has a crush on her best friend.

Zane is hit with the news that Avery is coming a few minutes before they arrive, however he could never say no to his favourite girl Chloe, even though he has the hots for Avery and has done for a while.
Zane is 36 and the girls are 18.

Avery and Chloe devise a plan to try and seduce Zane into bed. What could possibly go wrong?

If you are wanting a quick spicy read, this is the one for you.

“Unwrap him”
My Rating: ★★★★★

Absolutely incredible, this little book had me hooked from the beginning!
I love the chemistry between James and Jesse, the tension is unreal!
Fiery MM book

Jesse’s parents died in a car accident when he was 2 years old. James was set as his godfather and took Jesse in, and raised him when he was only 19 years old.

Jesse knew he was gay since he was 14 years old, he told James and he was supportive of him, what he didn’t tell James is the undeniable crush he had on him. He knew he shouldn’t have these feelings but he couldn’t squash them. He is now 18 years old and the infatuation with James has just gotten stronger.

It’s now the Christmas holidays and as they sit and watch a film together, they both get comfy. However, did they get too comfortable?

————

“Bittersweet Revenge”
My Rating: ★★★★★

What the hell?!? That cliffhanger! I want and need more now! absolutely adored this little novella in Twisted Christmas. I cannot wait to read more about Silas and Alanna.

Alanna works in a coffee shop whilst studying computer science at university. Her dream job is to work at Sinclair Security and she has managed to land an interview.
Ryan, her boyfriend works at Sinclair Security and she would love to work in the same building with him. He’s the perfect gentleman when he’s with Alannah.

Silas/Simon is CEO of Sinclair Security and Ryan’s older brother, he hasn’t seen Ryan in a long time and has returned to have a family dinner and meet his new girlfriend.
Alanna didn’t count on arriving for the dinner and finding the guy that hit on her in her coffee shop sat at the head of the table.

Sweet blasphemy was brilliant. The forbidden taboo romance was brilliantly written. The age gap romance as well as the intense heat between the characters was great. I loved how this story grew and loved how it ended. I really would love to read a book about their future.

These are the individual ratings on the short stories. Yes. I’m a freak on organization and I did calculate the average of the overall rating jeje.

Sweet Blasphemy by Sara Cate
2 Stars
I didn’t care about the characters and I got bored. Didn’t like it.

Always Been You by Q.B Tyler
4 Stars
This was a solid one. I really enjoyed it. It was sweet, steamy and I read it really fast. Honestly, it was great.

The Attack Zone by B. Celeste
3 Stars
It was quite meh, but I laughed a lot. I know it wasn’t supposed to be funny but some stuff in this, in my humble opinion, was ridiculous. But I do have some B. Celeste books in my TBR. I might read them soon.

Bittersweet Revenge by Catharina Maura
3.25 Stars
It was ok. Like I enjoyed some parts. I hope the author finishes the story I would like to know more about this couple.

Dirty Secrets by Ivy Fox & Thandie
4.25 Stars
This was great. It was a bit too much fast paced for me, but I really enjoyed it. Mr. Cross was chef’s kiss 🤌.

Hating Mr. Cooper by Amanda Richardson
3.52 Stars
It was good. I don’t really enjoy student/teacher dynamic but this wasn’t so bad. I think it was because most of it happened in a non-school scenery, so it was cool with me.

Amazing. I loved it! I loved Jesse and James. They were everything. This was too short for them. I want more them! It was really good but I am a little sad it wasn’t longer Jeje.

Thank u, next.

Sugar Daddy Santa Claus
3.75 Stars
This one was my first MFF. In my opinion, I don’t think it was an even steven kinda situation. So that wasn’t my favorite thing. I also would’ve liked if there had been more FF stuff instead of it being focused on the guy. But it wasn’t bad.

Baby by S. Rena and BL Mute
5 Stars
When the book comes out I’m definitely going to read.
