I’ve always tried to keep my distance from the two most important people in my life—my sister, Vivian, and her son, Kit. I’d do anything for either one of them, and I have. But my ties to one of the most brutal crime families on the West Coast mean that both of them are safer if we don’t spend much time together.
But then my sister asks me to come meet my nephew’s boyfriend.
She’s worried about Kit.
She says the man he’s dating reminds her of her ex, of Kit’s father.
His late father.
Because when I say I’d do anything for the two people I love the most, that includes disappearing anyone who hurts either one of them… and the man who knocked Vivian up twenty years ago turned out to be an abusive piece of shit, so now he’s gone.
And if it turns out my nephew is dating someone just like him now?
Let’s just say that as soon as I see bruises on the boy, as soon as I see him cry, keeping my distance becomes the last thing I’m willing to do.
In fact, getting up close and personal with the sweet little cherub—very close, and very personal—might just turn out to be the best thing that’s ever happened to either one of us...
⭐️ 4.5/5 — BV cracked my chest open and stuffed it full of filthy, forbidden feels. 💔🥲❤️🔥 🌶 4/5 — Four "cry-yourself-to-orgasm" spice 😭🍆💦🔥
💭 My Ramblings 💭
I picked this one up because I desperately needed a book that would actually make me feel something (good feels of course) after my last read bored me to death 🙈. And since it’s a Becca Vale book, I knew I could count on her to give me those intense, messy, heart-grabbing feels. But what I didn’t expect was how close it would cut—Kit’s personality and anxiety mirrored so much of my own that it damn near broke me and healed me all at once. 😭💔❤️🔥🤌🏻💋✨
💧👼🏻 The MCs 💧👼🏻
Damian — The uncle who would do anything for his nephew. He’s got ties to one of the most brutal crime families on the West Coast through his best friend, Julian Vega. Morally gray, dangerous, and ready to burn the world down for his younger sister and especially for Kit. Oh, and he’s got a “thing” for tears. 😏💧🖤
Kit — The sweet, shy, gentle nephew. With an abusive father in his past and an abusive boyfriend in his present, Kit’s been through hell. He’s a precious little angel who loves his uncle fiercely. He’s also an emotional crybaby who sheds tears easily—and doesn’t that just make him all the more perfect for Damian? 🤭😭👼🏻
🖤❤️🔥 Damian’s Obsession and Devotion ❤️🔥🖤
Quote: As protective as I am of my little sister—an instinct that’s led me to literally kill for her—it’s still nothing compared to how I feel about her son. Kit is just as sweet, shy, and gentle as his mother. A precious little angel I allowed myself too little time with as he was growing up, but who, even now that he’s grown and in college, I’d still burn the world down to protect.
💭 Like… hello?? 👀 Damian doesn’t just “love” Kit—this man is unhinged levels of obsessed. The way he talks about him had me clutching my e-reader like, SIR, CALM THE FUCK DOWN—ACTUALLY NO, DON'T, KEEP GOING 😌. This isn’t your sweet, wholesome, Hallmark kind of devotion. Nope. This is raw, feral, cross-every-line, burn-it-all-down-for-you obsession. And it WORKS. 🙂↕️🤌🏻✨️
Quote: I love this boy so fucking hard it makes my head spin sometimes, and I am more than happy to protect him, avenge him, and guard him from every kind of evil that exists in this world. But navigating his hurt feelings and bruised heart? Emotions are not my fucking strength… but I’ll ask Julian to put me six feet under before I cause this sweet boy any pain.
💭 Damian radiates that dangerous, possessive uncle energy that makes the whole book crackle—and yet when it comes to Kit? He’s all soft edges wrapped in razor wire—both terrifying and tender at the same damn time. And I fucking loved every second of it. ❤️🔥😍
💔😭 Kit’s Pain and Healing 😭💔
Quote: Even if I’m ashamed to admit it, when Sterling gets mad at me, I do deserve it.
💭 My heart broke for Kit 💔😭. That poor angel is trapped with Sterling, a piece of shitstain boyfriend 💩🖕🏻 who mentally and physically abuses him. And hearing Kit say he deserves it? God, that cut deep. 🔪🩸😭💔 I know those poisonous thoughts—when you’ve been told over and over that you’re always wrong, always at fault, punished for things you didn’t even do… it becomes your default setting. You believe the lies until they’re stitched into your bones. 😢💔🫠
Quote: Damian makes everything so easy. He never leaves me guessing, never makes me feel like I’m getting it wrong, never makes me wonder what he wants or feel anxious about whether or not I’ll get it right.
💭 As someone who struggles with anxiety, this hit me right in the chest 🥺💘. Kit finally being seen, understood, and loved without fear—it’s everything. Damian becomes the opposite of Sterling: steady, clear, grounding. For Kit, that’s not just love, it’s survival. And for me as a reader? It was impossible not to feel every beat of it. 😭🖤✨
🌶🥵💧🍆 The Spice and Kink: Floodgates and Hardcocks 🍆💧🥵🌶
Quote: “Fucking hell,” he mutters when my eyes tear up again, sliding his thick thumb out from between my lips to rub them off my cheeks again. “Do you have any idea what these do to me, Kit?” Again, he doesn’t make me guess. He just grabs my hand and pulls it between his legs, his cock thickening fast, growing hot and hard as it lengthens against my palm. Is it like, um, like a fetish or something? For… For tears?” I ask, my throat getting tight as even more tears spilling down my face. “It’s just how I’m wired,” he says, holding my hand against his cock as his eyes burn right through me. “I don’t know why, baby, and I won’t apologize for it. But with you? I’d want you even if you never cried for me again.” “I don’t think that will happen. I’m, um, I’m kind of emotional.” He smiles, a slow, heated one that makes my knees feel weak. “I know, cherub. Like I told you last night, you’re perfect.” “Fucking hell,” he mutters, eyes devouring my face. “I want to feel those on my cock.” My tears? I can do that.
💭 Damian out here turning Kit’s tear ducts into his personal porn and lube dispenser. 💦😭🍆 Dude doesn’t need foreplay, he just needs Kit to sniffle and suddenly it’s full mast, Captain Cock reporting for duty. 🫡🔥 Meanwhile Kit? Zero resistance—like “oh, my tears makes you horny? Say less.” Boy went from “fragile cherub” to “five-star seducer” in under 10 seconds. ICONIC. 👏🏻💀
If dacryphilia is your kink, you’re about to fucking devour this like a three-course meal. 😈 But even if you’re not into crying-fuelled orgasms, don’t worry—the steam will still wreck you in the best way, because duh… It’s a BV. 🔥💦
📝 TLDR 📝
Pick this one up if you’re into: 👨👦 Taboo incest uncle/nephew love that’ll make you squirm in the best way 🖤 Morally gray protector uncle who’d kill for his boy (and fuck him stupid after) 😭 Dacryphilia kink—crying has never been this hot 👼🏻 A fragile, gentle crybaby nephew who just wants to be loved right 🔥 Spicy scenes that go hard (it’s Becca Vale, duh) 💔 Healing from abuse, found safety, and a love that’s both soft and filthy
- Quotes: ⚠️ Spoilers ⛔️
Nothing gets me more aroused than big wet eyes, a shaky voice and trembling chin, and the sight of bright, crystalline tears spilling over flushed cheeks in an uncontrollable tide of emotion for my libido to gorge itself on. - Why am I like this? Does it have anything to do with the contrast between such raw, uncensored emotion and the way everyone in my own life has always carefully guarded theirs, for their own safety? - I’m not a good man and never claimed to be, but the one pure thing in my heart is my love for this boy, and no matter what kind of sick temptation rises up while he’s in my arms, I won’t taint that love by abusing his trust in me. Not ever. At least, not unless he begs me to. - “Is this what you want, sweetling?” I whisper in his ear, my balls already heavy and tight. “Do you like the feel of my big cock fucking against your pretty little one? Do you want this kind of loving from your uncle? Do you need to come?” “Yes. Yes.” - “Uncle D, please. Oh God, please. Can’t you... Can’t you decide? I just want to be good for you. I just want... I just want you.” “I’m so fucking yours. And you never need to worry about being good for me. You’re already perfect, sweetling. My sexy little golden cherub. It’s my job to make you feel good, and do you know why? It’s my job to take care of you because I fucking love you.” - And isn’t that a motherfucking revelation? Cock against cock? It’s so fucking hot I need a second. - “I love you so fucking much. Cherish you, treasure you. Because that’s what you are, sweetling. You’re a treasure. My treasure. And the only fucking thing I want in this world is to make sure you know that.” “I... I love you, too. I love you more than anything, Uncle D.” “Oh fuck, baby,” I gasp, shocked by how good that feels. Of course he loves me. I already know that. But hearing it now, like this, while he’s shuddering underneath me with pleasure? It’s doesn’t just sound good, it sounds like fucking everything. - “God damn, cherub, you’re fucking gorgeous like this. I want you covered in tears and cum and the scent of sex every fucking day from now on. Tell me again who you belong to.” “You. You, Uncle D.” “Say it again.” “I’m yours. Just yours now, please. I only want you.” - “You want to suck my cock? You want it? Then it’s yours, cherub. Lick it for me.” - “That’s it. You were made for this, weren’t you? Made for me. My cock has never felt so good, baby. I want it inside you every day. Can you swallow around my—fuck, yes. Do it again, sweetling. Shit, I’m going to be feeding you my cum soon if you keep that up.” - Happy doesn’t even come close to how I feel about having Kit in my home. - My voice trails off as Kit slinks into my office, capturing my attention. He looks like he’s not sure he’ll be welcome here, and that won’t do. He’s welcome anywhere, my one and only priority right now. No, always. - “You’re fucking delicious. So perfect for me. Such a perfect boy. You want this, don’t you? You want my cock. You want me to claim this hole. You want to be your uncle’s dirty little cherub, so sweet and innocent-looking on the outside, but inside... dripping with my cum.” “Please, yes. Please, please, please. Claim me, Uncle D. Please! I need it.” Oh, I fucking will, because I need it, too. - Mine to care for. Mine to overwhelm with pleasure. Mine to soak with cum. - “Do it, baby, give me that cum. Be good and let go for me. Get this hole good and relaxed so I can stuff it full of what you really need, and breed your sweet little ass until dawn.” - I could spend the rest of my life pushing him like this and die fully satisfied, no matter how blue my balls became in the end. - “Baby,” I rasp, sliding my fingers out and fitting my cockhead against his still-pulsing hole before his dick even finishes spurting. “I fucking need you.” “Yours,” he gasps, wrapping his arms and legs around me, so tightly that it feels like I’m wearing him like a second skin. “I’m yours, Uncle D. Take me. Take my ass. Fill me up and never, ever let me go.” - “Need you, take it, love you, fucking hell, cherub.” I’ve got no idea what kind of filth falls from my mouth, all I know is that this is where I fucking belong. And nothing, nothing can hold me back as I fuck into him with hard, driving strokes, claiming him the way I promised and giving him everything that was always meant to be his. My heart. -

My Notes: Damian will do anything for his nephew, no matter the amount of violence, murder or… orgasms? After already offing an abusive asshole for his sister and nephew, Damian finds himself needing to save his nephew, Kit, from a similar situation he’s gotten himself in. Damian takes Kit into his home and does what all Becca Vale’s character do, get incest-y in the best ways. Kit is now safe and his tears can be good tears, but now they are tears brought on by Damian and oh how Damian loves this. Dacryphilia isn’t a kink I normally care for, but Becca has a way of making every kink into something her readers can enjoy. If you don’t already check Smashwords or itch.io for her shorts every Friday, what are you waiting for??
So good!!! Uncle is an alpha through and through - works for the local mafia and is best friends with the "boss" so he distances himself from his sister and her sweet (but now of age) son. But uncle has a protective streak for both of them and when he finds out his nephew's boyfriend might be mistreating him, he steps in. And of - he has a thing for tears. Never knew this could be hot 🤣 but apparently it is...very 🔥🔥🔥. Becca outdid herself with this one.
I liked that the abusive ex get axed. But this one didn't hit me in the feels like other did. Maybe I don't find crying sexy idk..I liked uncle D. Kit was a bit less pronounced. Maybe because mist if his personalitie description where used to show the affects of the abuse..
The whole premise sounds like a great time and it was! There were just a few times where the dialogue was a bit cringe but overall I recommend this one for your smut needs.
yup this is another book on my Goodreads we are just gonna pretend isn't there.. ( but if you wanna read some hot taboo goodness then we can pretend it's not on your Goodreads as well 😂)
