Well HOLY FUCK!!
 
Okay I just had to get that out the way. This book from the moment I opened it grabbed me and had the living chokehold over me. Now I’ve read some age gap romances before. But never like this a MM romance. Phew it had me laughing and clenching these damn thighs on how aggressive this man was. Y’all this book was SPICY, had me sweating. Ok let me just give you the basic dynamic. There’s Elias who is 22 years old and he does exotic dancing in clubs (including sex) as well as explicit sexual content on social media for a living. Well on one night while he was working the club, he ended up having a glorious sexual encounter that rocked his world that night with a very much older Cuban man. To where he can just never forget him. Nobody compared to him since then. Fast forward a few years later his mom was going to get married. When Elias went to meet his future step daddy IT WAS HIM. Let me introduce the sexy Cuban man of the night Zeke. When they locked eyes the chemistry went through the roof. And well you can just imagine THE SHIT that pops off. Oh and the marriage is not what it seems but Elias doesn’t know that. Omg I’m just DYING INSIDE.. Now I will say Elias was a bit annoying and ignorant at times. But it’s expected for a 22 year old. But that boy is a FREAK!! And Daddy Zeke is a force to be reckon with. Oh and he speak Spanish in some parts. Ughhh Drooling🥵

READ THE DAMN BOOK. And as always thank me later😘

This is the third book in the Hidden Affairs series and OMG is it good. This book is so hot it's fire and I loved it so much. This is a forbidden romance between a stepson/stepdad and I loved the characters and the story.

This was a cold water needed kinda book. Just when I thought I was good I need another sip. Zeke and Eli were on fire this whole story. I enjoyed the character development. The spice was on point. It took me a bit to get into the story but once I did I couldn’t put it down. Looking forward to another read from the author.

INSATIABLE hunger is the 3rd and final book in the hidden affairs series.
This is elias’ story. While working at a party, he has an UNEXPECTED and amazing one night stand With a guy he cant stop thinking of but fast forward three years and elias is introduced to his mom’s fiancée and hes shocked to see who it is.
Zeke is domineering, grumpy and all so possessive. His upbring has shaped him to be the man he is. But life through an unexpecting turn one night and his life had never been the same.

I love this twisty forbidden story, and my heart aches for Zeke. I highly recommend reading this.

TW/tropes
Age gap(25+years), stepdad/stepson, loss of family member(s), mention of cancer, degradation/praise, forced proximity, cheating

Another fast paced age gap MM romance.

It was fun for a while, I guess. The tension between them in the beginning, and the fact that Elias is a dancer and a cam boy, it was fun to watch his character. And Zeke was a absolutely the brooding, grumpy dom daddy I was expecting, it was so good. 

Towards the end, though, things just feel apart, in my opinion. I guess it is difficult to deal with a stepson-stepfather romance, because how on earth would you actually get away with a good ending with that, but still, i couldn't overlook how Zeke was such a massive asshole to Elias's mom, and she was so hurt, it made me so uncomfortable. 

Also with Jordan's character, he was such a sweetheart. I do not know why but I think I liked the side characters more than the actual protagonists lol

Spice was okay. Nothing too crazy, but okay. 

Overall this was an okay story, definitely lacked the extra oomph.
