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.

i always forget how much i enjoy ashley’s writing until i read one of her books and i’m reminded.
this had no business being as hot as it was and yet here we are. they met before at a party and hooked up only then that turned into zeke being elias’ stepdad and they have an unbelievable connection and chemistry. elias moves back home after college and lives with his mom and stepdad. i loved the angst in this, it was perfect. they worked through a lot of things and i’m glad they got their hea. i loved the cameos from ashley’s previous characters and i absolutely adored katie being in this as well. she was one of my faves from forsaken desires so i’m glad we got more of her. i’m so happy to have gotten a smidge more of aston and knox as well. this was such a good book. i enjoyed the dynamic between zeke and elias and one another just simply getting each other on such a deep level

This is book 3 of the Hidden Affairs series and Ashley did not disappoint. This book has some of my favorite tropes, Age Gap, Forbidden (Stepfather) and forced proximity. The chemistry between Zeke & Elias left me panting. So hot. Definitely give this book a read. You won't regret it.
