Itty Bitty Delights #3

Filthy Little Tease

Rate this book
She was a temptation I could no longer deny…

We were family, but not by blood.

I married her mother when she was eleven years old, and I cared for her like she was my own.

I never looked at Aleah with anything more than parental affections.

Until she started taunting me with seductive looks and teasing me with her dirty words.

That’s when I noticed what a beautiful woman she had grown into.

That’s when she became my filthy little tease.

3.5 My Dick Screams Mine Stars ⭐

Ooh it’s on. Aleah has her sights set on her stepfather and now that her 18th birthday is approaching she’ll be officially legal to make her move.

I don’t know when it started. It’s like I just woke up one day and poof. He was no longer my stepfather, but a hot as hell man. One in which I’d very much like to lick all over and have him return the favor.

Spencer is a man of integrity. He’s well aware of how messed up his attraction for Aleah is. Yet the more he resists, the more she pushes.

I need to get the hell out of here before I do irrefutable damage. Like tear my fucking shirt from her body, yank off her panties, and fuck her likes she’s a bitch in heat. Or maybe bend her over my knee and give her the ass whooping she needs.

Another tasty erotica morsel by this author, and with each novella she’s exploring the many kinks to get the blood pumping. Admittedly I’m not a fan of the whole ‘Lolita’ getup, but a hot 50-year-old in uniform not opposed to being call daddy, truly does it for me!!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

She was a temptation I could no longer deny...
We were family, but not by blood. I married her mother when she was eleven years old, and I cared for her like she was my own. I never looked at Aleah with anything more than parental affections. Until she started taunting me with seductive looks, and teasing me with her dirty words. That's when I noticed what a beautiful woman she had grown into. That's when she became my filthy little tease.

This is the third book in the Itty Bitty Delight Series from Alex Grayson and I am loving these novella size books so much. There the perfect escape you can fully read when you have just a little bit of time to read. I have loved all of them and Filthy Little Tease is no exception. I guess this could be considered a little taboo but the two characters are not related by blood at all and she is a grown and over the age of consent. Spencer and Aleah have a story to tell that I couldn't put down and it is also very naughty and I for one was living for all the teasing that was going on. I mean what is a girl to do if she knows that someone is perfect for her and he just so happens to be the guy that was married to her mother but no longer is. Spencer raised her as one of his own and was kind and respectful and never looked at her in that way ever when he was with her mother. But for Aleah she has it bad and I do mean really bad for Spencer and when she finally catches his attention he just so happens to notice what a woman she has grown up to be. However he really struggles with the things he is starting to feel for Aleah. The heart wants what the heart wants Spencer so you better buckle up because Aleah is about to take you one the ride of your life.
You do not want to miss this one. I have loved the first three books, but this one just might be my favorite.

These Itty Bitty Delights stories are easy to read, have just enough story that they’re not just a total #sexfest and for me, a delightful afternoon quicky!! I have enjoyed all of them so far but (there’s always a but lol), this particular story, was less than satisfying for me.

Okay, so these novellas are interconnected standalones. Yeah, I know, that’s like something being hot and cold at the same time lol so I can imagine you’re not understanding me very well so far. What that means in this case is that the tension, or rather the dance between our leads begins before this book. As readers, we feel it before their story is even told. But that only happens if you start the journey into these stories from the beginning. I’m one of those readers and because I’m one of those readers, it was disappointing, to me, that it took almost 60% of the book to consummate (for lack of a better term) the attraction between our leads. So, the step-daddy/step-daughter kink fell flat for me. I mentioned that these stories have "just enough story that they’re not just a total #sexfest", and that is true, but they are still supposed to be sexually driven (at least that’s how I interpret the marketing of them), and this one just was not.

The price-point for these stories is still well wroth it and I still recommend you pick this story up if sexy short stories are your jam. I’m only one reader with one perspective. Do with that info what you will :)

This was a great addition to this series! Each story is novella length and perfect for when you are short on time. Spencer and Aleah are related but not really. Spencer was married to Aleah's mother and she left some time ago. Both Spencer and Aleah have feelings for each other but are fighting it because it seems wrong. Their chemistry is undeniable and they can't help but give in to temptation. Whew!

Thank you for the privilege of reading this book! Well done

For the love of all the taboo hotness!!! This series is everything!
"Call me daddy" ...... Well alrighty then Spenser, you filthy mouthed man!
These books may be short but they are filled with everything a taboo reader loves. And yep this one is the step-taboo! And as much as I have thoroughly enjoyed this book, I am dying for the next one. I can't wait!

Another Filthy Read!

Like the two books before, Alex Grayson gives us a quick dirty read that is the perfect fit! These reads are put together well, with the storylines and the age gaps. Unfortunately, while sexy, this one contained the one word that I absolutely can't stand to read with the pages are steaming up. I have said it before and will say it again, it's like a bucket of ice water thrown on the sex scene.

Other than that, Spencer and Aleah had a sweet story and a nice little epilogue to peek into the future. The next book, For I Have Sinned has been set up nicely and I can't wait to read it.

OH.MY.LORDY…..this book is naughty, naughty, naughty…..what if all you want is what is forbidden? For Aleah, that is Spencer. She shouldn’t think about him, she shouldn’t want him, and she sure shouldn’t have such dirty thoughts about him. Spencer knows what he feels is wrong and he sure shouldn’t want her but what the heart wants it usually gets and in this case it is a forbidden love. Naughty little read with a sweet as heck ending!

Wow! Spicy, a bit naughty and a whole lot of determination had my loving Filthy Little Tease. This short story is jam packed with all the feels. I’m not going to lie, I questioned how Alex would be able to spin this topic. But guess what…she hit it out of the park. Outstanding beginning, middle and end. Best part-the epilogue!!!!

Not for me this time

As a solid rule, I love Author Alex Grayson’s books, including this Itty Bitty Delights series where she has seriously pushed the envelope into almost forbidden tropes that border on exceptionally eyebrow raising heat, but, this is one that was just not for me.

Everything is legal and above board, and I have no issues with ‘step’ relations, but in FILTHY LITTLE TEASE, Spencer and Aleah pushed my comfort levels are little too hard. While the age difference did give me pause, it was the alacrity with which she called him ‘Daddy’ that stunted my reading experience, and Ms Grayson has finally released a book that now features on my ‘no-fly’ list. Of every word in the English language it is the innocuous ‘D’ word that puts a writhe into my romance loving heart and on cue, I started skipping pages. I do know that many of my reader friends thrive on such books, so if they’re is your jam, I can guarantee that this book of Ms Grayson’s will make for great reading.

What I am liking about this dirty and daring series is that the characters are known to each other and we meet the couple on which the next book in the series will concentrate. Likewise, we met the honest, alpha and caring Detective Spencer Erikson and his step-daughter Aleah in previous books. Spencer’s son Bryan is the hero in book one, HEELS TOGETHER, KNEES APART, and Bryan’s friend August features alongside Aleah’s friend Luna in TEACH ME SOMETHING DIRTY.

Spencer is investigating a local case, and I’m now looking forward to Wesley’s book. He’s a priest, and a young woman has been relieving the food bank at his church of a few provisions, including some clothing to fit a young child.

As I’ve already said, for those readers who love books where Daddy is an oft used word of endearment, then wrap your reading gear around FILTHY LITTLE TEASE. I’m sure you’ll love it. 3-Stars 💜🖤*

Non sono una grandissima fan dei Age Gap così grandi... 32 anni sono un pelino troppi per me... però è una novella carina senza pretese.

Un bel compleanno per Aleah. 18 anni. Una passione sfrenata per il suo patrigno. Spencer, che la guarda con occhi diversi ora. Le magliette corte, girare per casa mezza nuda... e poi la sera dei 18 anni scatta qualcosa.

E si da il via alle scene di sesso. E solo quelle. Un epilogo un po frettoloso. E diversamente dalle altre due novelle qui la storia è un po cortina.
Molte cose vengono accennate e basta. Non si ha una vera e propria trama. Questa novella è solo una tramezzo della storia che lega gli altro.

Consigliata?? Ma si va. Ma solo per chi ama le scene di sesso senza trama.

First, let me just say that I LOVE Alex Grayson. She is one of my go-to authors and I’d imagine she always will be. These short itty-bitty reads bring me so much excitement and I look forward to each installment. Each novella brings us new characters, naughty scenarios and lots of pushing the boundaries/taboo kink to go with it.

This time around, we meet Aleah and Spencer. The characters were great, but I just couldn’t get past the history that the duo has. It kind of creeped me out. Maybe because I had a stepdad growing up? I was aware of the storyline going into it, but I thought I should give it a shot. Nonetheless, it was still a good read. Don’t let my personal opinion deter you at all. The world of Alex Grayson is one that you definitely want to be a part of. Up next is For I Have Sinned and I am so excited!

Alex Grayson has definitely crossed so many taboo lines in this Itty Bitty Delights series and Filthy Little Tease is no exception. This book touches on a large age gap, he’s fifty and she is turning eighteen, plus add in the step father theme, him asking for her to call him daddy and it makes for a hot, steamy read that definitely keeps the pages turning.
Spencer, a police detective knows he shouldn’t be having feelings for his step-daughter, Aleah and he has fought those feelings for a long time, but she is not making it easy. She is teasing him and testing his control constantly. Aleah knows she is pushing Spencer’s buttons, but she can’t help how she feels. These two have been dancing around each other for a bit but at some point they can no longer deny the pull!

3.5 stars - quick, dirty fun.

I didn't "connect" with this one quite as much as the others and I am a sucker for the step-dad/step-daughter kink.

This one has been building in the other books which is one thing I like about this series as the books stand alone, yet are interconnected too. Spencer has never looked at Aleah the way he starts looking at her now!

It took a while to get there and then it felt rushed - contradictory, I know. I still think Alex Grayson handles the taboo well and the epilogue is super sweet!

I voluntarily requested and read an advance reader copy.

I really just can't express how much I leave these Itty Bitty Delights books. I was a little hesitant going into this storyline because it was Step Dad/Step Daughter and I thought that was a bit cringe. Alex Grayson has such an amazing writing ability that she can take these taboo relationships and leave you thirsting for so much more.

If you haven't started this series yet, what are you waiting for!!!

Filthy Little Tease is book three in the Itty Bitty Delights series and is a standalone age gap novella treat, but can be appreciated a little bit more if you read the two before it as the characters are all somewhat interconnected from the stories. This novella is a quick and steamy read if you like age gap books.

Spencer is a police detective. Aleah is his stepdaughter that he has helped raise, though his wife has since left him. Recently, Aleah's feelings for Spencer have shifted and she has made her desires known, and as much as Spencer is trying to set boundaries and push off her advances, there is a part of him that definitely wants to give him.

This book was definitely steamy, though I did struggle a little with word choice at times during those steamy times (it's a me thing). Otherwise I read this book in one sitting and was highly engaged. I love these characters and the concept of these short stories. I absolutely cannot wait for the next one!

3.5 stars.

I was so pumped for this one. Age gap, stepfamily, Daddy kink? All good things!

But Filthy Little Tease was missing something. There’s some sexual tension and teasing at the beginning but their relationship progression wasn’t there. Just—boom—some sex, and then somehow they’re in love? What we did get was great, but I definitely needed more.

And while I usually love epilogues, this one wasn’t for me. Just personal preference, although it was still a nice sneak peek of their future.

The hint of the next story has be on the edge of my seat and I can’t wait.

Alex definitely knows what she is doing. Not only to be continue in the same world and these same characters she ups the taboo level in this book. Although Spencer is not Aleah’s biological father he has been her stepfather since she was 11. She holds nothing back and just as the previous tube bucks in series we get a really sweet epilogue. I love that in the epilogue we get to go back and revisit Charlotte and Brandon from the first book. There is also a good set up for the next book in the series. Which involves our favorite hot and inked up priest from the series.

An Emotionally Charged & Surprisingly Introspective Love Story…

After the duds that were books one and two, I have been thanking the universe for sending me “Filthy Little Tease”, by Alex Grayson first, as if I had read the books within her, Itty Bitty Delights series in their intended order I never would have made it to this one. And oh, my goodness what a shame it would have been to never get immersed in the passion and angst that is this book!

Here with her provoking story of Aleah and Spencer, Aleah being the high school senior introduced briefly in the last book as the stepsister to Dr. Erikson and friend to Luna. A friend that through Luna’s plight, we discovered harbors secrets of her own, the main one being her deep attraction to Spencer. It is an attraction she has harbored since she was sixteen after her mother cheats and runs away with her lover leaving her and her stepfather behind for good. An event she views as an opportunity to perhaps have the man of her dreams for her own, a dream that then sees her launch a dedicated plot to win him no matter the cost. And the object himself, Spencer, a police detective more than thirty years Aleah’s senior. A man dealing with not only the pressures of his job, a divorce, and caring for the stepdaughter his wife left behind along with his adult son Erik, both whom he cares for more than anything else in the world. He is also dealing with Aleah’s newly and highly provocative behavior, something he initially views as a temperamental stage of a teenager he just needs to endure.

However, when on the eve of her eighteenth birthday Aleah further ramps up her assault on his senses with ever increasing levels of dirty words, sexual behavior, and inappropriately skimpy outfits, something in him breaks. A break that causes a shift that not only pushes Spencer’s libido into overdrive, but also his mindset causing him to begin to view his stepdaughter not as a child but the blossoming young woman she is. It is a change that causes his already fragile resolve to crumble thrusting them both on a path that will alter both their lives irrevocably.

What follows is a passionately charged and surprisingly introspective tale of taboo love. One which will find you rooting for a couple that both your common sense and internal moral code of societal norm fueled right and wrong will tell you, you absolutely shouldn’t. And while I will admit to finding this particular story a bit silly in overall context, and containing plot points that, in places push the believability boundaries really, really hard, the emotional intensity of it overall fully punches you in all the feels and will capture your attention from start to finish.

This one is a brilliant improvement to the series overall. And although you may get stuck in the semantics of the ages, the change in the initial relationship, don't! You will be emotionally rewarded I promise you.

“Leaning over her back, I fist her hair and tilt her head to the side. I put my lips to her ear. “Call me, Daddy,” I whisper huskily.”

Filthy Little is the 3rd book in Alex’s Itty Bitty Delights Series. A series of easy to read, spice packed, and simply quite delicious reads. I recommend highly reading in order because books piggyback one another, not to mention, characters are also interconnected. This series has really made my evenings this past week extremely enjoyable. I started from the beginning and with each book fell even more in the love. With this book Alex kicks up the steam. Once Spencer noticed the beautiful young woman is step-daughter Aleah was turning into there was no unseeing it. And, when she makes it her mission to drain the last of his sanity he snaps like a rubber band and the heat is on.

Six years ago Spencer married Aleah’s mom. Her mother ran off with the mailman two years ago. Leaving Aleah behind with Spencer who had no qualms raising and supporting her. Then six months ago his brain went haywire and his desire kicked in.

Aleah has a thing for older men. And, going after what she wants. Her sights are set on Spencer. And, when the direct approach isn’t working, Aleah ups her seduction game.

Spencer never stood a chance.

🏷️Forbidden/Borderline Taboo Romance

🏷️Huge Age-gap (like 30+ years😲)

����️ Naughty bite sized delight

🅼🆈 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆:

This one was a bit difficult at first to get into as I don't think I have read a step-father and step daughter romance before. To fall for a person who has basically raised you and on top of that have desires for them.

But I have to say Ms. Grayson might have made this books bite sized delights yet her writing eases you smoothly in a way that they don't make you feel dirty or icky. Especially with Borderline Taboo ones like this.

I enjoyed the perspective of how aleah is just 18 and how slowly her feelings start changing towards her stepfather.
Then there's Spencer, who's seen most in life, has an adult son and yet falling for the very girl you have seen grow up and want her as a woman was very difficult for him.

That said, if you love that tease, that naughtiness and flirtatious seducing in a dirty way 😉, then this will definitely put your kindle on fire. 🔥

Looking forward to the next one with the mystery thief girl and the concerned priest. 💕

So this one in the series just well hard to explain. I mean we have Aleah, who by all counts is mature for her age but seeing her with Spencer, her stepdad just no for me. I loved the whole forbidden part and boy does Aleah tempt Spencer but to me it just threw me off in a way it shouldn't but it did. The whole part when she calls him Daddy just well didn't sit right with me. I mean you can tell Spencer is into her but just seemed a little wrong for me. Alex Grayson had something going on with these two but didn't seem right in the Itty Bitty Delights series for me and instead wanted more than what went on. All in all looking forward to what she does next.

This is one of those books you just have to remind yourself that in the end, it’s a book. Would I be into seeing this play out in real life? Nope. Did I enjoy the boundary-pushing aspect I experienced reading it? Absolutely.

Aleah knew what she wanted and did what she had to to get it. And that just so happened to be her stepfather 🤷🏻‍♀️

The tension was bomb, though I could’ve done with a little more spice. These are very short stories and I appreciate that they always find a way to incorporate a storyline and develop the characters we meet throughout.

These two were hot as sin together and I enjoyed their road to a happy ending.

And when he said “call me daddy”? Not even ashamed to admit I was ON. THE. FLOOR. 🫠

This is a step-dad x step daughter stories. Really short novel.
Aleah has set her view on step father Spencer. And when she wants something, she always gets it. But it seems this time might be a tough one.
As the days to her 18th birthday weaken, Spencer’s fight seems to do the same.
Would Spencer really dare to touch her stepdaughter?
Or would Aleah let go and find someone else ?
But the things is, Aleah is his, always has been.

Tropes: age gap/ step dad/ forbidden romance.

Review: the age gap for me was too big ( 32, I believe)
Also, she’s eighteen bro. No that’s a no!
But besides that, it was pleasant to see Aleah play Spencer. Like she’s bold! And we do like a bold female character!

Aleah has been slowly testing her stepfather Spencer's patience in the lead up to her 18th birthday. The more he tries to ignore the not so secret advances, the further she tries to push his buttons until one day he snaps.

This book has a bigger age-gap with Spencer previously being married to Aleah's mother, who later ran away with the mailman, leaving Aleah in Spencer's care. They are not blood-related, but Aleah realises what being called 'daddy' does to Spencer so she continues to do so to get under his skin.

From the books in this series so far, these are entertaining quick reads with some spicy scenes, great if you are in-between your last and next read but not too sure what you want to get into next.
