They really didn't have to be related, and the author really didn't have to keep reminding me.

After reading this book I am going to make my new years resolution to read the synopsis of each book before I read it - because I went in blind on this one and was just not prepared. 

I was definitely entertained before getting 50% of the way through the book, but pretty much as soon as you hit the half way point everything is (to put it delicately) intimate and weird. 

To be honest, I skimmed the spicy parts because they didn't make much sense, and the random "uncle Jake's" grossed me out.

If you’re reading this book for a plot, you’ll be disappointed because it only makes up about 20% of the book. The rest of the book follows the interactions between the characters, so if you want taboo smut you won’t be disappointed.

Yes, the interactions, if not fiction, would be alarming but I think it’s unfair to review the book in that light. Considering its length I felt I sped through it and would recommend it for taboo romance readers.
