February 26, 2024How are people gonna CHOOSE TO SIGN UP to ARC read for dark romance, NOT look up the trigger warnings and then HAVE THE AUDACITY to rate poorly DUE TO THE TRIGGERS THEY THEMSELVES DIDN’T LOOK UP?!? 😂 ACCOUNTABILITY has left the building!
THIS IS NOT FAIR TO THE AUTHORS.
Shame on you. 😑

All Inclusive Dark Romance Anthology
I had a whole review planned for this but I didn’t take notes so I forgot nearly all of what I read. I liked the majority of these stories because they were dark and taboo. Well…taboo for Amazon not the Smashwords kind of taboo unfortunately.
My favorite one was a MF romance, Sinister by Michaella Dieter which was shocking because I had only picked this up to read the MM ones but I found myself pulled in by the fact it was a foster bro/sis and it had lots of murdery serial killer shit going on in the name of revenge. Plus they were both so psycho that I was living for it. As for MM romance, I am loving Rebecca Rathe’s books and can’t wait for her to release her next one. Her characters are so obsessive possessive and crazy toxic and I’m here for it. Anyway her story Light Me Up was a best friend’s dad trope and I really liked it. However, it did have this gross scene that I could have lived without while they’re doing 69.
I cough when my own orgasm takes me by surprise, spraying cum around the stretched sides of my mouth and out of my nose. 🤮🤮
Just no.

You’re All Ours by MT Addams
I seriously can’t get enough of this triad. Father-Son taboo and forbidden dark romance. It’s so dark and thrilling. And honestly I’m going to go bananas every time over a “let us take care of you, take responsibilities and decision making from you, cater to you� story! I can’t speak to everyone, and there are some all star authors in this anthology, but MT Addams stepped on the scene and has been serving up piping hot interracial dark romance like she’s a Michelin five star chef and I’ve left nothing on my plate ever!

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.5
This is an excellent collection of dark and forbidden romances brought to you by some of the best in the genre. Each story can be read as a spicy treat, with varying relationship dynamics and darkness levels.
Light Me Up - Rebecca Rathe
He might think he’s straight, but his cock clearly likes me.
I love Rebecca Rathe’s treatment of MM bi-awakening. This short story is filled with steam, untapped desire, and love. While the romance is forbidden (father with his son’s best friend and a large age gap), it is sweet. And oooooh so spicy. This story ends in a very satisfying HEA.
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes/Features: Large Age Gap (>20yrs), forbidden relationship father and son's best friend, MM bi-awakening, Daddy
POV: Dual 1st Person POV
Relationship Type: MM, fast burn, spicy
Ending: HEA
You’re All Ours � MT Addams
“I need to fill you up, doctor. Can you feel how desperately I need you?�
This was a great forbidden MFM romance short story. Therapist/client, boss/employee, age gap and reverse age gap, and a heavy dosage of stalking. There are some dark elements (coercion, blackmail, and kidnapping) but I would not qualify this as a dark romance.
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes/Features: Dark elements, boss/employee, therapist/client, age gap, reverse age gap, father � son sharing, kidnapping, drugging, stalking
POV: Multiple 1st Person POV
Relationship Type: MFM, fast burn, spicy
Ending: HEA

bully sunshine by greer rivers
with tattered curtain series being one of my favorites, i was equals part anxious and excited for what came next. would greer rivers be able to deliver something as good as her masterpieces? if this novella is any indication, her upcoming series will exceeded any and every expectations. this author has a penchant for writing gothic romance beautifully. it's in the way she captures and conveys tension in its various forms. this new setting, an elite university haunted by a secret society, speaks to the darker souls. add in a student x teacher who just so happen to be step siblings and the forbiddeness was scorching. the potential of graveston university is endless and i just know this will feed my "gothikana" heart.
* i was sent an arc by greer rivers in exchange for a honest review

Every.single.story.delivered! So much dark, delicious, dirty, heart warming, panty melting perfection crammed into one massive anthology. It’s impossible to pick favorites but goodness did Rebecca Rathe, MT Addams, Jenn Bullard show up! Don’t get me wrong they were all outstanding, these three were just my personal favorite out of the bunch. But that is like trying to pick out your favorite diamond at Tiffany’s. Do NOT sleep on this collection. It’s worth every dark and spicy page!

No he leído todas las historias, pero voy a valorar las que he leído.
You’re all ours by MT Addams
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Decidí probar aunque fuera MMF porque parecía interesante. Todavía no acepto que si hay F no me gusta tanto (casi nunca). Es una psicóloga que trata al hijo de su jefe, y dicho jefe e hijo la secuestran porque les mola y al final ella decide quedarse con ellos. Me entretuvo pero sin más. Estuvo guay cuando la secuestran de nuevo y el padre e hijo deben rescatarla.
Así que ya luego decidi que iba a leer solo los MM, que son los que realmente disfruto, y por eso doy por finalizada la antología sin haber leído todos los que vienen.
Poison by Juniper Cole
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Aquí tenemos a Ashby, hijastro de un jefe de una organización criminal, y Storm, hijo de dicho jefe. Se conocieron a los 16 cuando se casaron sus padres, y desde entonces Storm ha estado obsesionado con él.
If he gets hurt because I listened to my father and left, I know the last grasp I have on my sanity will snap, and I will kill everyone. I won't feel an ounce of regret and will smile as they all suffer. No one, not my dad or even Marry, will be safe from my wrath.
Ashby también se enamora, pero de repente Storm se marcha y está dos años sin contacto con él porque su padre y la madre de Ashby vieron marcas en Ashby y creyeron que Storm lo maltrataba, cuando en realidad Ashby disfrutaba mucho de las marcas que le hacía su amorcito.
They need to learn that I want and need what he gives me. That the bruising, obsessive, possessive love between us is mutual.
Pero cuando alguien (el papi de Ashby) secuestra al mejor amigo de Ashby, Atlas, para llegar a él, y Storm cree que es Ashby al que han secuestrado, decide que da igual lo que digan sus padres, el va a volver con Ashby y va a cuidarlo siempre. Al final terminan secuestrandolo y Storm va a salvarlo.
“God baby, I’m going to keep you stretched open and filled with come so you are always ready to take me. You’ll be reading a book, cooking dinner, taking a shower, and I’ll be there, ready to bend you over and take what’s mine.�
Esta ha estado muy muy chula, me ha entretenido mucho, ha tenido mucha accion, momentos tensos, los personajes molan, tienen mucha química y hay escenas durillas.
I look over his shoulder, trying to find Atlas and smile when I see him wrapped in a thick blanket, cradled in Elio’s arms. The big man scowls at anyone who looks at them for too long.
He querido mucho a Atlas y todo lo que pasa el pobre es horrible. Me encantaría que tuviera su libro con el guardaespaldas que lo salva, Elio.
Light me up by Rebeca Rathe
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I've gone on dates. They just didn't go anywhere."
"Why, though?"
"Because there was nothing about them that made me feel like I'd prefer their company to my own. They didn't light me up."
Aquí tenemos a Henry y a Ian. Ian es el mejor amigo del hijo de Henry, se llevan más de veinte años, y Henry no soporta a Ian (o eso se cree él). A Ian siempre le ha gustado Henry, y cuando tienen que vivir juntos un verano porque Ian y su amigo están trabajando juntos, Ian aprovecha para pasearse desnudo por casa, lo que provoca cosas en Henry que no se esperaba. Al final, el roce hace el cariño y acaban enamorados.
"For real?" Michael says.
"For real," Ian replies.
Michael turns to me.
"Dad?"
My eyes burn, and I shrug helplessly.
"He lights me up."
Este me ha gustado. Un best friend's dad siempre es chulo. Ian me hacía mucha gracia, era imposible que no cayera Henry. Y la reacción del hijo me gustó mucho.
"How much do you trust me?" "Like out of ten?" "Sure." "Maybe a zero point five."
También me encanta el viaje de descubrimiento de Henry y su próstata y que Ian, el joven, sea el activo. Sus escenas hot han estado muy muy bien.
Henry Benton is F-I-N-E—fine. With a capital F.
Chained by Adara Wolf & R. Phoenix
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mi favorito sin duda alguna. QUE BUENO HA SIDO, NO PODIA SOLTARLO.
Este trata de Raul, miembro de una familia de traficantes de personas (niños y niñas incluidos) que, a ver, no hace por seguir con el negocio pero tampoco por pararlo. Y Misha, un hombre al que han pillado robando para la organización y al que ahora venden como esclavo. Raul queda prendado de él y lo compra, pero Misha no es tan difícil de domar como esclavos más jóvenes e inexpertos. Raul le hace cosas feas, y aunque el cuerpo de Misha las disfruta porque a él le va ese rollo (cuando es consentido y puede elegir, claro), sigue estando fatal. Pero a medida que pasa tiempo en casa de Raul ve que no es exactamente como el resto de su familia (mucho si eh, el tío es un idiota y en ocasiones lo trata mal porque se enfada porque Misha no disimula querer estar ahí). Pero Misha en realidad es un agente federal, infiltrado para acabar con la organización desde dentro. Aunque no llega a hacerlo, porque había otro poli infiltrado que se le adelanta. Raul termina delatando a su familia y su negocio tratando de hacer lo correcto y metido en el programa de protección de testigos. Y Misha se hace su enlace para poder seguir viéndolo porque tiene potencial para ser buena gente (y no ha encontrado un dom mejor que él).
If he were somebody I’d met at a BDSM club, I would have been happy to kneel for him. But the whole human trafficker thing kills most of my interest.
Raul es idiota y mala gente pero me ha hecho mucha gracia y hasta me ha dado ternura a veces. Parecía un niño pequeño haciendo rabietas en ocasiones.
“You’ll never get what you want,� Misha says quietly. “Because you think you have to take it by force.�
Y Misha es maravilloso. Special Agent Mikhael Sokolov. Es un grande, todo lo que hace para salvar a esa gente. Todo lo que aguanta. Me lo imaginaba super fuerte, calmado y atractivo en todo momento.
Then he says, “Is that enough to earn me my hands?� It breaks the mood, souring it even, and I stare at him for a moment as I fight back the inexplicable hurt that runs through me. Right. He’s here as a slave, nothing more. He’s just a pet. Just a toy.
Just a slut.
Las escenas hot son muy interesantes porque sus sentimientos son tan complejos. Adara Wolf y R. Phoenix se han convertido en un must read para mi. Siempre tienen personajes más tirando al negro que al blanco, y los adoro.
Why did the perfect man for me have to come in the form of a fucking slave?

These stories were absolutely crazy awesome!!
They filled my dark soul with all the degradation and corrupted books!
Filled with some of my favorite authors and new to me authors. I appreciated the attention to detail and giving the reader enough I be satisfied but craving just a bit more 😉 each was unique in their own but it all came together ina beautiful, crazy unification.

I read Bully Sunshine by Greer Rivers:
“You’re my sunshine in this foggy, Godforsaken world, and I refuse to go a day without feeling your warmth again.�
If there’s one thing Greer Rivers knows how to do it’s write a good story! Bully Sunshine was short, spicy, and absolutely jaw dropping. The plot was fascinating! Fans of dark academia will LOVE this novella! The characters, Woods and Everly were pretty well developed. The tension between them was top notch�.I could not put the book down. Greer, I need more of them! I want to know more about the Order and how it was formed! I can’t wait for the new series (I’ll literally read anything Greer writes🫶🏻)!

Spicy rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶� 3/5
Fluff rating: 💖💖 2/5
Maybe I’m just not a novella/ shorty story person but I found it rushed and not really following any true plot. There wasn’t enough character growth and I couldn’t relate to the MCs at all. And it really didn’t feel dark like a dark romance should.
Love the authors other work which makes me think it’s me and not the stories.

You’re All Ours by MT Addams
Brenard, Meredith and Isaac are fantastic trio. Brenard and Isaac sure know how to get their woman, and it sure was a great read had a bit of action in there and so much heat! It was definitely good to read.
Savage Temptation by Poppy Jacobson
Love this love-h$te Gavin and Aiden have for their princess,but not so much of how short it was. But still it was a lovely read.
Cheer For Me by Savvy Rose
I don’t have much to say of Ava and Mary story. The thing I can say is that it was not so bad of a read but it not caught me has I would have like.
Bully Sunshine by Greer Rivers
Now this one was very interesting of a read too bad that it was so short but it definitely was good. I’m sure keeping my eyes for more of Graveston University series.
Poison by Juniper Cole
Wow this one was definitely one amazing read. Love Storm and Ashby story and has short as it was it had the action and steaming moments this two could have brought to the story.
Light Me Up by Rebecca Rathe
Love ,love Ian and Henry. Love the easy going of Ian and love the all serious of Henry. They just balance one another and are just perfect for each other.
Sinister by Michaella Dieter
Oh man,oh man! Did I find something delicious! Love Sin and Dolly story,was not expecting the way the story went but oh my goodness love this dark world of theirs.
Bounty by M Bonnet
This was definitely a very good read. Even though Willa was a bit stubborn she the love as the most possessive and protective men’s she could have.
Chained by Adara Wolf & R.Phoenix
Ok I got to say that at the beginning of Misha and Raul story it was going good but then at the end it was not so perfect. I for one would have preferred that it stay the way it being. But all of us can get what we want right?
His Obsession by Willow Sinclair
This was definitely a different kind of read of what I have read of professors and students romance. And definitely like it,so will keep looking forward to more of this kind.
A Step-Bully Hookup by Jenn Bullard
This was actually a good read it was just a prequel but it definitely was a good one , Can’t to read the rest of Adrian,Kyna,Jamison and Braxton.
Never Ever by A.N. Stauber
Great read I hope we get a full story of Alessio and Hadley I felt that there could be more to them.
Dark Ornaments by S.J. Ransom
Oh my goodness this was one heck of a read. Mitchell is as coco as they come but definitely love him.
Scar Steals by Heleva Risque
Hmm� I’m not sure if this was my kind of read or if the story was to short but I didn’t felt the chemistry between Judas and Scarlett but I’m hoping that we can get more of them and see how their relationship develops to.
Brenard, Meredith and Isaac are fantastic trio. Brenard and Isaac sure know how to get their woman, and it sure was a great read had a bit of action in there and so much heat! It was definitely good to read.

This was definitely a very good read. Even though Willa was a bit stubborn she the love as the most possessive and protective men’s she could have.
Chained by Adara Wolf & R.Phoenix
Ok I got to say that at the beginning of Misha and Raul story it was going good but then at the end it was not so perfect. I for one would have preferred that it stay the way it being. But all of us can get what we want right?
His Obsession by Willow Sinclair
This was definitely a different kind of read of what I have read of professors and students romance. And definitely like it,so will keep looking forward to more of this kind.
A Step-Bully Hookup by Jenn Bullard
This was actually a good read it was just a prequel but it definitely was a good one , Can’t to read the rest of Adrian,Kyna,Jamison and Braxton.
Never Ever by A.N. Stauber
Great read I hope we get a full story of Alessio and Hadley I felt that there could be more to them.
Dark Ornaments by S.J. Ransom
Oh my goodness this was one heck of a read. Mitchell is as coco as they come but definitely love him.
Scar Steals by Heleva Risque
Hmm� I’m not sure if this was my kind of read or if the story was to short but I didn’t felt the chemistry between Judas and Scarlett but I’m hoping that we can get more of them and see how their relationship develops to.

Savage Temptation- Poppy Jacobson
Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶�
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Poppy has a way with words that makes be feel more intelligent after reading one of her books. She uses vocabulary that isn’t typically used, and makes you actually think rather than reading just any other erotica story. Savage Temptation was so deliciously taboo with Cari wanting her stepfather and her stepbrother’s humiliation, degradation, and love…at the same time. She gets busted by them as she’s doing her camgirl thing and they are sure to dole out the proper punishment for daring to show off what is theirs.

Bully Sunshine- Greer Rivers
Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶�
This was so good. Greers writing is impeccable and I ate this up! My only complaint would be that I wanted more. There is so much potential here to have a full length novel and I hope Greer expands on this sometime in the future. I know Graveston University is getting a full multi-author series, but I hope there is an expansion for Woods and Everly outside of the Bad For Me anthology.
Everly is Woods� new student, but they also have a history. They’re step-siblings, but they share a tragedy that has defined their future in their own respective ways. Woods also hate Everly because he thinks his dad moved on from his mom too quickly after she passed away. He is determined to get her kicked out of his school if it’s the last thing he does.

Disclaimer: i have only read 2 novellas in this anthology, and hence the reviews and rating is based on them!
Savage Temptation by Poppy Jacobson
KC Rating: 4.5🍁 | 2🌶�
Short filthy and absolutely amazing in Poppy’s signature style where FMC loves to be both praised and degraded. (It’s a heady combination!)
There’s some taboo sharing going on, but it’s too taboo, and everyone wants everyone (except for MMCs) but no one is acting on their lust until a situation presents itself! And damn was that a steamy situation!
I could talk about characters, but this is such a short story that we didn’t get much of character development to talk about them. This was more spice than plot novella, and i was there for it!
You’re all ours by MT Addams
KC Rating: 4.25🍁 | 2🌶�
I have favourite authors for every genre, and Poppy and MT Addams are my go to when i need some unhinged dark romance, as they always deliver! Though i’d say that this time the novel lacked MT’s usual unhinginess (compared to her debut novel and Summon Us), but damn was it still good! Forbidden/taboo element and some unexpected twist towards the end of the book was absolutely great!
If you enjoy some obsessive stalkers and a sweet “innocent� heroine you’ll love this one!

My review is about around half of the stories in this anthology, since I didn't have the chance to read them all yet and I didn't want to rush, so they wouldn't blur together.
My favorite story so far was "Poison" by Juniper Cole, but MT Addams, Poppy Jacobson, Greer Rivers, Michaella Dieter and Jenn Bullard where good to great stories, as well! There are 14 stories in this anthology all in all.
The theme of this anthology is taboo relationships with mild to very dark triggers. So, the title is definitely the name of the game. There's a lot of smut happening, from kind of sweet to very 🔥
I think I had one or two stories I had to skip because of triggers, so please beware you read the cws before you dive in each individual story - mental health is important!
So, if you're looking for dark, taboo, smutty stories: you are definitely in the right place!

This may be titled Bad for Me but it’s oh so good!!
This anthology is a nice and thick along with being one I couldn’t put down. I was able to get acquainted with a few new, to me, talented authors and visit some favorites as well - which led to my TBR growing even more.
I LOVED the range of which the stories danced along, while all stayed in the dark/forbidden trope. I got a taste of sweet and forbidden, twisted, irredeemable, a little paranormal and even one that urged me to ask for forgiveness - a little MF, MM, MMF, MFM, and FF�.all of them being blazing hot.
I can’t pick a favorite because they’re all so good, but I do hope that these talented authors might expand on the characters in the future because I would definitely read more about them.

"Cheer for Me" is a juicy slice of the "Bad for Me" anthology. Mary and her mom shake things up by relocating to Vermont after a legal mishap. Mary takes a leap and auditions for the college cheer squad, where she encounters the legendary coach Ava, a former Cheerleader World Championships star. This novella had me on the edge of my seat with plot twists galore! I'm already rooting for more of Ava and Mary's adventures!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice : 🌶🌶️🌶️🌶�
This review is for the complete anthology. I really enjoyed this collection of dark and forbidden romances ! I am a huge fan of dark romance and when I had the opportunity to read the anthology I jumped on it ! In each short story you will find a nice combination of dark, kinks abd spice. I didn’t enjoyed all the stories but most of them were really fun !! All the stories are different and there are various tropes and darkness levels so there is something for every taste in it !! My favorites are Poppy Jacobson’s and MT Addams� novellas.
Don’t be afraid to dive in if you are a dark romance reader and trigger free (each novellas has its own trigger warnings which I really appreciate).

I loved this anthology all the dirty stories were excellent there is everything in this anthology well written by all the various authors I loved the little excerpts of the stories, and some authors we read before and didn’t fail to let me down either I would recommend this book without a doubt!! I’m going to look up a few of these books and read them fully!! These are definitely toe curling and juicy
February 29, 2024
This book is an amazing collection of stories and authors. The balance they have found between the level of darkness and taboo across all the different books is absolutely amazing there is definitely at least one story in her for every type of taboo reader. This book was amazing even down to the order they put the books in, with each different genre being separated nicely throughout the whole book.

This review is for the story Poison by Juniper Cole.
This is a wickedly dark and delicious MM, step-brother, second chance, touch him and expire story which includes a whole host of red flags and TW. And I loved every second of it! The storyline sucked me in and I devoured it, the spice made my dark heart pound and Storm's possessiveness was so yummy. This just goes to show that Juniper Cole can write contemporary just as well as her usual demon stories. As it is dark please check your TW before reading.

This is for Chained.
I loved that story! A dom/sub relationship that’s starts off on horrible terms. I enjoyed that it was a quick read but definitely left me fulfilled. I definitely would want more of Misha and Raul’s story. This is a dark story so please check the trigger warnings. Definitely worth the read.

You're all ours
This was a quick fast paced taboo romance between a therapist, her boss and her client. They also happen to be father and son. The carltons have been watching Meredith and are finally ready to enact their plan of making her theirs. She's wanted them since she started seeing Issac a year ago. She's always toed the line, but never actually crossed it until now. But what happens when someone saw what happened and tries to ruin everything?
Savage Temptation
This was hot, quick and spicy. Carri has wanted her stepbrother and stepfather for a long time, but it seemed the made men hated her. Until one night they caught her at their cabin while she was camming. And the rest you'll have to read to find out. I seriously need a full story with these characters. It was hot and left me wanting so much more.
