This one was a wild ride back to the 70s with a deliciously taboo romance between Lester, the professor, and Daisy, the student (yep, Dubh and Lucy's kid—talk about a family legacy!). Lester had me cheering with his initial resolve to draw the line (Bravo, brother, bravo), but Daisy? Total vixen from hell, and poor Lester never stood a chance. The book is 80% smut, 20% plot, and way smuttier than her parents' book—if you think Fifty Shades' red room scenes were smutty, you're so wrong! Lester's were damn good!🥵 Daisy's dirty mouth had me laughing and murmuring "goddamn" the entire time. The ending is perfection, and the book is gloriously unhinged, so definitely check those TW/CWs—your mental health matters. I'm already itching for book 3, which rumor has it will be about Daisy's birth mom, and it's gonna be RH. 😉
