Immoral Starts #1

Deceitful Dreams

Rate this book
Graduating from college is exciting, except for the part where you have to go back home.
I had it all planned out–I’d take the long, cross-country route so it would be a whole week before I have to face the inevitable.
Then home decided to come to me.
My mom remarried unbeknownst to me and her new husband says he’s flying all the way out here to drive back with me, because he’s concerned for my safety.
With every night we spend together on this trip, I begin to wonder if maybe that ring on his finger should match one on mine instead.

There's no one to blame but myself for the feelings I'm having right now, and I'm not even shocked that they're all negative.

Wyatt (34) is newly married to Sophie's (22) mom (he said it was a drunken mistake), and he volunteered to pick her up and drive her back home (i think she just graduated). They took a road trip that should have been for only four days but was stretched to a week, and let's just say they did a lot of morally wrong and eyebrow-raising things during their stops.

I thought I could handle this, but unfortunately, it only proves I don't have the stomach for cheating. Deep down, I know I can't stand it, but I still tried here, idk what my end goal is, though, honestly. 🥲

Anyway, while I know her mom is a witch who really doesn't care for her, what Sophie and Wyatt did was still not fair. I know it takes two to tango; I'm not solely blaming her, but she was the one who made the first move and seduced her "stepfather". He's also a scum for taking the temptation when he shouldn't have.

And I got all the ick that Sophie had no problem sleeping with a man who slept with her mother. And she had the audacity to get mad and glare at her mom when she was kissing Wyatt. I mean, hello, she's the wife, and they're married; of course, she has every right to do that. But then I guess it's not an issue after all, since Sophie still gets him almost every night. 🤢 She doesn't mind him kissing her mom, as long as he won't sleep with her.

Anyhoo, I'm gonna be careful now with exploring taboo-ish novellas. It turns out I still have lines I can't cross. 🤷‍♀️

One thing about flying thousands of miles up in the air, you get to relax and read or be read to. Or sleep.. #Bliss

This story surprised me. I have to say that I wasn't expecting the plot that was attached to it, but I love it. It made it all more interesting and sweet. I LOVE Wyatt! He's.. yeah.. Some of the things he did and said definitely reminds me of someone that I know..

I absolutely can't stand Sophie's mother. And once I found out the part she played in Sophie's relationship with her father, that really creamed my corn! It would have been nice to see this part of the secondary plot unfold though. Where Sophie and her dad is concerned, since it was brought up.

But I still love this brief story. It feels like a full story. The characters are engaging. The circumstances, though not ideal (immoral) and let's face it, are incredibly hawt, still makes for a quick & compelling read.

I think I've been introduced to a new author that I could possible fall in love with.. We'll see.
I'm reading book 2 of this series right now, Devious Whims (Immoral Starts, #2) by B. Sobjakken . I hope I love this one as well.

Would I recommend?= YES
Spice?=5
MCs?=Yin & Yang and then some..
Plot/Plight?=4
Ending?=5

Yummy.

Sophie (22) just finished college and is planning a cross country trip home. Her crappy mom's new husband decides he's going to fly out and accompany Sophie on the drive home so she's not alone. Wyatt (34) married his wife after a drunken night and he wants to get the marriage annulled. He didn't even know his wife had a daughter until he overheard her talking to Sophie on the phone. When he and Sophie meet each other for the first time, it's on like Donkey Kong!!!

Their cross country trip turns into some hot, smutty sex. There's a showdown with the mom and they end up with their HEA.

I'm here for it!!!! Hot!

I was so invested in this couple’s HEA, even though he’s married to her mother, and they are both a little sweetly unhinged! 😏💤🥤

The FMC is the main pursuer but the MMC is also no slouch in that department (after some initial resistance).

Reverse somno... hot

Chosen for the 2024 reading bingo challenge ✧˖°.🎧📖


I was in need of mindless, insta-rewarding smut. I wasn't disappointed. I particularly liked the reverse somno 🔥🔥

Road trips are great for forced proximity and small space tension and I think this used it well for being such a short novella.


Warning: This has infidelity. Hero drunk-married the heroine's mom. He's been looking to get it annulled before he meets the heroine (who he didn't know existed until after the marriage because that's how shitty the mom is) and after he's with her, he's actively trying to make it happen.

3.5⭐️ 3🌶️

I need this reassurance that he wants me, though. After all, my mom has the ring, and I just have his cum leaking from me.

I liked this but wish this felt more forbidden. Most of the action is while on the road trip with only them to witness. And ill never look at slushies the same 🙈Yes it’s hot but way too instalove. However the things that bumped this up a notch for me are:

💦Somno play by both of them
💦No Condoms 🤰🏻
💦Being walked in on mid thrust by the mom/wife and finishing anyway 🤭

Twisted and Utterly Addictive

This was my first book by B. Sobjakken, and I already know it won’t be my last. I was in the mood for something intense, provocative, and emotionally messy—and this story gave me exactly that.

At the heart of the book is a complicated and forbidden relationship between a stepfather and his stepdaughter—but the deeper you go, the more you realize how complex and blurred those titles really are. Their connection is chaotic, full of tension, and impossible to look away from.

The writing style is straightforward and easy to follow, which made it super readable. The dual POV—from Sophie and Wyatt—really adds depth and helps you understand the push and pull between them. You’re constantly asking yourself, “Should I be enjoying this?” and yet... you absolutely are.

Funny side note: when I first saw the name “Wyatt,” I was totally stumped on how to pronounce it. English isn’t my first language, so it took me a minute—but once I figured it out, I was all in.



It’s wild, it’s messy, and completely unhinged—but somehow, it works. If you're into stories that push boundaries and leave you asking “Did that really just happen?”—you'll be thoroughly entertained.

Am I reading too much of my favorite kink? Nooo, it is never enough.

Okay.... I probably need a break with this trope because it didn't hit like it normally does. I also cringed at certain scenes, for example, the slushy drink. Yuck!!!!

Am losing my kink MOJO.

There are two thing you need to know about this romance:
1. As the series title indicates, it deals with ‘Immoral Starts’
2. It’s more spice and book, as per the authors note

“If you're new here, then just know sex is the plot. Read that again. Sex is the plot.”

📚 forbidden romance (step dad)
📚 forced proximity
📚 one bed
📚 novella
📚 dual POV

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

|Thoughts|
This little road trip will have you questioning everyone’s morals. It is a fun ride nevertheless. There are a number of instances where consent is completely absent. So if that’s something that’s a trigger for you, you may struggle with certain scenes.

Verging on Insta love and I was questioning the validity of their relationship, considering how it began.

“I don’t care if a piece of paper ties me to someone else. I’ll burn that paper and throw it in the trash.”

This is not for everyone and I’ve mixed feelings about some aspects, but enjoyed the story regardless.

Sophie has just graduated college and is about to embark on a cross country trip back to her hometown when a surprise shows up at her door. Wyatt, her mom’s new hot husband has been sent to accompany her on the drive. There is an immediate attraction that is undeniable. Will they cave into their desires or will they respect the sanctity of marriage?

This was a saucy, spicy read! Check your trigger warnings before going into it because there are quite a few things going on! I have to say that I love Sophie’s spunk and her drive at getting what she wants. Wyatt is a dreamboat and who doesn’t like a little age gap in their lives?!
