**spoiler alert** This was probably the best book I have found so far that incorporates the “breast feeding fantasy”. Most of those types of books are**spoiler alert** This was probably the best book I have found so far that incorporates the “breast feeding fantasy”. Most of those types of books are short hucow type erotica but this had more depth to the characters. It is still mostly erotica-focusing on the sexual relationship in the bedroom and not much else. I do wish we could see this fantasy incorporated in a romance novel that also has a plot. I also wish Cyrus could have gave into his need for comfort sooner in the relationship. By the time we see him finally accept and give in, the story is about over. The ending is abrupt and I would have liked an epilogue. The actions of the parents were obnoxious and didn’t make much sense.
Overall I gave this book 4 stars because the smut portion was awesome ...more

Sex scenes were spicy but tamer than I expected. Not much in the way of DDLG dirty talk that I was expecting. Still steamy (hide spoiler)]...more
This would have been so much better as a full length novel. We could have seen the relationship develop over time between the couple. I also wanted toThis would have been so much better as a full length novel. We could have seen the relationship develop over time between the couple. I also wanted to see the growth that the heroine had to go through. Instead we are just told about it in passing for the most part. This girl had some serious demons and I wanted to see the road to recovery including the back steps.

Loved the sweet and steamy romance between Gabrielle and James. This was a romance simply focused on these two. Not a lot of outside drama. No unnecesLoved the sweet and steamy romance between Gabrielle and James. This was a romance simply focused on these two. Not a lot of outside drama. No unnecessary separations!!! I loved that the little conflict we did see was external. Once these two decide to cross boundaries, they are in it for the long haul no matter what. Given their background this is definitely considered more taboo. I am here for it❤️❤️
I love a good age gap taboo romance but this did not do it for me. Both characters were very immature and dramatic. The sex scenes were blah. The attrI love a good age gap taboo romance but this did not do it for me. Both characters were very immature and dramatic. The sex scenes were blah. The attraction seemed to come out of left field. Where was the build up? The chemistry?
The best part of the book was the epilogue and even that felt incomplete....more
