A Taste of Something Wicked #1
Fate at Fault
I don’t know which is worse, that my husband lied to me from the moment he met me? Or that he died the day I was going to serve him divorce papers.
When even more secrets and lies come to light, it’s all I can do to hold it together.
Who could blame me for taking a little comfort offered by two other people who loathe him just as much as I do? After all, nothing links the three of us other than paper.
ALWAYS CHECK CWs/TWs AT FRONT OF BOOK
The Taste of Something Wicked series are semi-taboo erotic romances that can be read as stand-alones.

They’re treating me like I’m going to shatter, but… maybe that’s what I want.
Uhm. This is taboo without actually being taboo? If that makes any sense at all. All I know it, this was quick AF, hot AF, and I’m pretty sure I have a new obsession.

Okayyyyyy if you’re looking for something short and smutty, read this IMMEDIATELY 🥵
Dead husband’s son AND adopted daughter come to town for the funeral? What could possibly happen?? 😏😏
“Do perfect good girls get fucked by their stepsons at their husband’s funerals?”
Yes to Marcus in grey joggers also ✅
This story surprised me for being so short, you get to know enough about the characters alongside the immaculate spice, and it even has the sweetest HEA!!

A friend recommended this book and WOW. At first it felt normal, but then THE SPICE?? Oh yes please 🥵 if you’re looking for a taboo novella with some good spice and a throuple, this one is for you👀 absolutely did not disappoint.
did-not-finish
July 27, 2025DNF @ 38%. This had the taboo set up but the two bang partners (?) spent a lot of time telling the FMC it wasn’t wrong and for some reason that didn’t work for me. 😭

Spice: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tropes: FFM, FF, Stepmom/stepchildren (stepchildren are 27 &30; one is the same age as stepmom (30)), stepsiblings (adopted sister & they were never raised together)
Series: A Taste of Something Wicked #1
Stacey's husband died and with his death came a lot of secrets. Stacey learns that he kept a lot of things from her: his real age, how many times he's been married, and the fact that he has kids. She only found out about his adopted daughter when she showed up from college one day. She didn't know he had a son until after he died. Talk about a total jackass.
After his death, his kids come to help Stacey clear out the house and attend the funeral. Stacey tries to deny her attraction to them, but she just can't. Things get steamy, feelings get involved, and this trio finds their way to a HEA.
This book was SO hot 🥵 The touch of taboo in the dynamic really amps up the spice. Marcus and Nina had me melting with how hot they were together. I died a little when Marcus talked about holding out while Nina talked about taking as much as she could 😮💨No wonder Stacey joined them. I love the attention they showed Stacey and the way they fit her into their dynamic.
I can't wait to see what other couples/tropes are in the rest of the this series!

Well, that was a great little taboo novella. I picked this up because it seemed like it needed an FFM in my life and a spicy novella to get me back into the reading groove. What I wasn't expecting is to fall for this throple. Stacy is a new widow, but instead of being sad, she's pissed that her husband dies before she handed him divorce paper. Her marriage was a shame feom.all of his lies. Now, her stepchildren are coming in for the funeral. Nina she had met briefly before but never Marcus. Nina was adopted by her husband, and Marcus was his son from many of his previous marriages.
Immediately, Nina shows her what she wants and when Marcus arrives holy smut. They pushed her out of her head and validated that their dad was a total lying a**hole. Nina and Marcus have been waiting for her, and she just needed to go for it. Stacy was a little bit of a drab compared to Nina and Marcus she matched their energy at the end. I found myself wanting to read more of them, which is always a good sign for a novella.

Okay so. 😂
The premise is nuts and it also has some holes in it (). But also, this isn't supposed to be realistic, it's supposed to be hot! And unfortunately... it is. I'm going to hell, yes, I know, I've already booked my room.
I enjoyed this so much! Is it weird that it's a feel-good smutty novella because it's forbidden? Yes, and? Nina and Marcus just want to take care of Stacy, and goddammit, why shouldn't they?! Don't answer that. 😂
I'd rate it higher, but I know it's not very memorable - there isn't really any conflict or character flaws, and everything just works out - nor is it groundbreaking, but it's nice! The ending is sweet - I feel like I got a hug! God, romance is so great.

It’s one thing to be a “consent king” (gender neutral), but it’s another to check in so much that it’s like you don’t trust them that they said yes the first 20x. I mean she was even getting frustrated at it 😂
Any sort of family relation is truly in name only: their dad is dead, the step mom only met the step daughter once prior and step daughter was adopted and never raised with the step son. (Step son is also 2 months older than the step mom 😂)

3⭐️ for the smut and only the smut.
This novella started out promising but the more it went on the more I really didn’t care for Stacy. She was a bit boring. I understand she was with a man WAY older than her and wasn’t getting the attention she needed but she was so damn bland. I would say it’s because she lost her husband but honestly she didn’t seem like she gave two shits about him. Nina and Marcus were so much fun and then there was Stacy. The spicy scenes were definitely hot and I’m pretty sure they are the only reason I finished this novella. Well that and the fact that is pretty short and I was already committed to finishing it.

“Do you want me to hold my hand over your mouth while I fuck you from behind, Stacy?”
“God, yes.”
“God’s up front with the mourners, Stace. It’s just you, me, and the devil back here.”
OK so let’s just get out of the way that this is 100% pure smut. There’s a loose story about Stacy’s dead husband’s funeral and how he was mean to her, yada yada. Bigger picture: MFD smut, dirty talking stepsiblings, taboo craziness. 4 stars for the smut.

Well damn!!!!!! Hot DAMN!!!
Mark was a dick. And his death kinda let a few cats out if the bag. He had his secrets including 2 children. One adopted.
Thou shall not covet thy dead husband’s adopted daughter.

This is a fantastic short story.
The characters are great and the author writes a good story in such a short amount of time
I absolutely love dirty, wicked semi-taboo books.
I can’t wait to read more of these books.
