This book is exactly what you wanted to read when you picked it up. It’s not well written but it’s fun. 

So this author promised Dub-con straight up so I guess I got what I asked for! lol. This is definitely a spicy step-father romance with mafia seasoning. I will say that I don’t think I liked the dub-con in this novel as much as I did with The Ritual. Reasoning is a slight spoiler:
I think a big factor in this is that the fmc never really ever consented to the dub-con. I felt like the fmc in the ritual consented early on to the dub-con because she realizes that’s something she’s into . In this, he just apologizes over and over and love bombs her into forgiving him but dub-con isn’t a something the couple enjoys later on.


Overall opinion: you get what you came for. 

Happy Reading 📚😮‍💨🍃

This book was a rollercoaster of emotions and I’m not entirely sure how to feel about the main lead’s relationship bc of the age difference and how it started but I’m glad they had a happy ending. Even though I’m indifferent to the book, it is one that I would recommend to people who are into taboo/forbidden themes.

 "𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆--𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓--𝒐𝒉, 𝒎𝒚 𝑮𝒐𝒅."

If you couldn't tell already (if you follow me), I love everything I read from Lilith. As a beta reader, I love seeing everyone's reactions come in as ARCs go out. They bring a smile to face.

I haven't shared much about this book with teasers posts as I did the Pageant Duet because I didn't want overshare it. I felt like it was best to go in blind for this. Laz is pretty snarky and your impression of him should be organic. Never once did I dislike him; the one I did dislike was Mia's mom, Guilia. Her sisters occasionally did give me weird vibes but did grow to like them, specially Rieta, who stuck by Mia's side.

Since I haven't read a book in a long time the birth control tampering, it was exciting to see it through and Mia's reactions about it. Though Laz was snarky it wasn't always directed to Mia. He's like Batman - dark and broody but secretly a softie.

"𝑲𝒊𝒔𝒔 𝒎𝒆, 𝑩𝒂𝒎𝒃𝒊, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒂𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆. 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓."

This book is still *chef's kiss*

Listening how depraved Laz is rather than reading it hit a whole different level. Still loved it. Brutal Intentions is my third ever audiobook listen. I remember I would cringe listening to smut the first time around. Admittedly, I still do but Laz made me blush 😊

3.5.

Loved the taboo factor of it. I wish there was a little bit more drama in the aftermath of their life. 

I really want to see karma from her side of the family. Also, the conversation with her mother that was asked at the end.

Overall, I enjoyed. I just know that isn’t a story that I would reread. Mainly because it wasn’t passionate enough for me. I would recommend it if you did like taboo romances between step father & daughter. 

It had very good spice and there is tampering.
