Taboo aspect:- Sexual attraction / consummation - while thinking they are twins. - Hxh who grew up together thinking they’re blood related - At the end they discover they’re not

✨ARC Review✨Don’t get me wrong…I love a good steamy, smutty romance book , in fact, they are some of my favorite books. However, this one just completely missed the mark for me. I know sometimes with steamy romances, they can be played out to where they seem incredulous and unbelievable, and this is certainly one of the ones that falls into that category for me. There is an author note at the beginning addressing the “taboo”, and after reading the note, I decided to still go through with reading...

Taboo with a Twist 4 stars! For some reason, the power of the forbidden is like a drug to me. Wanting something I can’t have only makes me want it even more.Is it wrong of me to actually have wanted this book to be more taboo than what it was? Lucy Smoke set up such a deliciously, dangerous love story that I was addicted to through the end. For those that are on the fence of a forbidden/taboo romance, I think you’d really love this book if you read the author's note. For those who do love the tr...

Feels 3Steam 5Storyline 4.25Overall Rating 4.25Kindle eArc provided by AuthorReviewed by RobinHoly taboo bully romance! I actually enjoyed this dark, forbidden story and my heart was all over the place. Willow is a smart, introverted, slightly confident student. But she has a dark secret that she's tried to bury deep in her heart. Ryan is cocky, quarterback with a hidden connection with Willow. But he wants nothing to do with her. I loved the push and pull in this book...the crazy teasing, myste...

💢♨️ I got the tea 🍵 / juiciness 👅 / deeds 👄 / spoilers ⚠️ right here. ♨️💢 The author already gave us readers spoiler from the first page on the author's note stating, the main characters are not real twins, and not blood related at all. They’re “twins” & in the prologue the main characters are 15 & the heroine admits to her “brother” she's in love with him. They’re in a foster home & the hero feels the exact same way for her, but knows their relationship can’t work out, he yells at her, calls he...

Woah!Poisoned Paradise by Lucy Smoke is an awesome addition to the Black Heart Presents Heaven and Hell series. Super taboo. Just jump in and embrace it without reading the trigger warning in the beginning of the book and trust the author. If you read it, it’ll spoil the storyline. Well written with great twists and turns. Starts off as a bit of a bully romance, but morphs into so much more. Super angry alphahole and a sweet and endearing heroine who have both been put through the wringer. Super...

“There is a Charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable.”I am grateful that I was given an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.I loved a previous dark romance series from this author, so I was confident I would devour this one, too. This book is about a forbidden romance and right off the bat, I knew the story would be tricky, but the author included a note at the beginning, asking the reader to trust the process and stick it out until the end. She did a...

3.5 StarsLucy Smoke is a new to me author so I really didn't know what to expect going into this book but I do know many of my book friends have read and LOVED her previous books so there really wasn't any hesitancy on reading it even after I read the Authors Note. While reading parts of the story I had to keep reminding myself about the Authors Note, so that I could come to grips with the Taboo aspect of the story because it's just wrong on so many levels. The ending, well lets just say that ca...

I LOVE this trope and have no shame about it. Well written books with this taboo are very hard to find and I was so excited to read this one but wow did this miss the mark for me completely. First, the author’s note right in the beginning of the story spoils the book. So I was angry but okay as long as the feels and tingles are there.. but the prologue made me uncomfortable AF! They were 15 and the hero was saying things that just grossed me out! I have no triggers but that was just.. nasty. Any...

I'm not gonna lie, I really enjoyed this book and I was living for the taboo aspect coupled with the bully romance plot. At surface level this is a very taboo book but like the author says in the blurb, trust her cause the story is definitely different then you expect. I personally would recommend avoiding the author note at the front because it's not a trigger warning, it clarifies what the forbidden/taboo aspect is but in doing so it also gives away a major plot point. I personally didn't read...

Holy wow!!! This book was good!!! I love a good enemies to lovers, but I also love a good enemies to lovers where there's a past between them it's just 👌👌👌 Willow starts college, not knowing Ryan, who she hasn't seen in 6 years also attends. He does everything he can to drive her away from him and make her hate him. Also that library scene... 😏😏😏 Willow does everything she can to not be seen, she keeps to herself and doesn't tend to socialize, unless Lana drags her out. Willow is the center of s...

I like this book, but I didn't LOVE it. The whole reveal of who Ryan (H) and Willow (h) were dragged out and then WTF, the epilogue was weak sauce. I want my full epilogue yo. Also, I expected the real Twin to be much more loving and vindictive than was potrayed. But I found the romance between the H and h to be sweet, hot and fun. Ryan is a very sweet and very loving H. But what I liked about this book was how the friendship between the h played out. There was a line that was crossed and it wou...

This is some dark, taboo stuff! 😬I was offered this ARC from Book Sprout, and I love a free dark romance read. I just really had no idea just how dark this book would be though... until I read the trigger warning, and consequently, the spoiler given up by the author. So, I went in with good faith that there would be a HEA, and approached it clinically, trying to wrap my head around the psychology surrounding incest.This book involves incest. How on Earth could there be an HEA?The two MCs were dr...

I love a good enemies to lovers romance but add taboo or forbidden twist to it and I’m sold ! This story was not at all what I was expecting it to be it was so much more and I trust Lucy immensely on her storytelling so I knew I was in for a twisted passionate ride . This story was so good it was emotional angsty passionate and so hot Willow and Ryan’s tale is such a twisted whirlwind of emotions I devoured this in one night! The twists and turns I didn’t see coming and that huge plot twist omg

Well Sheesh, when Lucy Smoke says Taboo, she means Taboo!! I will admit that i do think it would be too much for some people so definitely read the authors notes at the start which does contain a spoiler BUT I think it's needed and it makes it easier!I liked it! It's full of angst, confusion, hurt, want and a connection that you just can't deny! I'm not sure what to say without spoiling it! Bottom line?....I was intrigued! It kept me glued, and although the forewarning is kinda a spoiler, you st...

A sizzling taboo romance with a twist! Willow and Ryan will have you tied up in knots but you’ll still be wishing for a HEA.Ryan and Willow share a connection. It’s the kind you find once in a lifetime and sacrifice anything to protect. They tried to let go to save each other, but it didn’t stop them from loving one another. Even when they shouldn’t, they can’t stop how they feel. Six years apart and it did nothing to quell their love.There is drama and angst! It’s part bully romance with elemen...

While reading Poisoned Paradise by Lucy Smoke, I spent almost all of the time wondering what is wrong with me. Because this book is so taboo. Like the most wrong and twisted kind of taboo and I am sitting here feeling all the feels and getting excited. But I trusted the author and it paid because she pulled everything together in a complex and convoluted way. Without giving anything away, I would suggest you to read this steamy forbidden story with open mind because everything will make sense at...
