I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads, so here is my review.
Quinn Blakely is a 43-year-old successful businessman and recently divorced. He is trying to juggle his business and two sons and finally realizes he needs help. He needs a nanny, someone to help get the boys to school, to their practices, tutor them and get them to bed on time. Quinn is strict with the boys but it is the only way for them to understand that good grades and discipline will help them go far in life. When he invites Ava to work for him, he realizes that she is still in high school and she may not be what he needs. But he can’t help the attraction he feels towards her. When Ava assures him that she can do the job and that she is 18 years old, Quinn feels he has to at least give her a chance because he has no one else and he needs someone tonight.
Ava Prince has her plans laid out, she studies all the time because she wants to get into a good college. She tutors and does other small jobs to make money because she wants to go to Paris on the class trip. When Mr. Blakely contacts her about a job, she thinks it is some type of office work and tutoring. She doesn’t know a thing about babysitting. But the Blakely boys are 14 years old and go to the same school she goes to. When she first sees Mr. Blakely, she is struck speechless, he is HOT. Even though he has a little grey in his hair, he is still hot and she is drawn to him.
Will Quinn act on his feelings towards Ava? Will Ava let him know that she is attracted to him? What will happened when the boys find out?
I really enjoyed this story, it is a hot and sexy quick read. If you like the older man/younger woman taboo story, then this one is for you.

For such a Dark Romance author, or books that make you pause and think. she is also
a mistress of the naughty.
I love her quick naughty reads they always deliver
Quinn is still coming to terms with being a single parent after a recent divorce, as a father to two teenage boys he’s struggling to juggle home and work. Quinn decides to get some help and this brings 18 year old Ava into their lives.
Quinn is a man who needs control, in business at home and in the bedroom. Ava is easy to dismiss as a quiet bookworm but Quinn awakens her to a whole new experience.
I enjoyed the dynamic of their relationship, as expected the chemistry is palpable, the sex scenes are hot hot hot A really good older man/ young woman romance.
Some would object to the rather large age gap, but not me. It’s a book, it’s romance, it’s a story, we live in reality, when I pick up a naughty book, I am looking to escape.
K. Webster, gives me that and more with this book.
Ideal for an afternoon read, feet up coffee and biscuit.Mr. Blakely
K. Webster has her own little taboo world where we all get to visit from time to time. Mr. Blakely is another chance for us to take a tour of that world and get friendly with its inhabitants again.
Quinn Blakely’s wife ran off and left him with their twin sons. He has to come up with some way to take care of them so that he can still go out and do things at night and make sure that they get to games and such like. So, he asks a friend about a babysitter and is given Ava’s name and number.
Ava Prince. 18 and high school senior, is a good girl. she works really hard at school and is getting good grades, she helps out teachers, she has a goal in mind, and she’s going to do it. When Quinn calls her for a job, she doesn’t realize that he’s looking for a babysitter/nanny for his twin boys.
When the two of them meet, it’s electric. OMG, the chemistry is just wow. Because it’s a K. Webster story, we all know that it’s going to be steamy, but this may be the steamiest one yet. Quinn and Ava have such a connection, it’s possible to feel it through my Kindle. It is possible to be jealous of two characters on my Kindle, because I think I am.
I love K. Webster’s taboo world. Each one is a standalone story, but they are all connected. You don’t have to read any of them to understand any others of them, but it’s fun to read them and figure out who the characters are and how they all connect up. I can’t wait for more entries into this little world.
Going in, I didn’t exactly know what to expect from this one, since the way I’m going about the list of titles didn’t provide much prior information about these characters – which is totally fine; these are standalones after all.
Anyway, in true K. Webster fashion, she hooked from the beginning and I’m glad I went in blind.
Quinn fights his attraction towards Ava, but once he realizes the feelings are beyond mutual, all bets are off.
The taboo-slash-forbidden nature of it all makes it that much more intense and delicious.
Also, I’m dying to read about both Blakely boys very soon.
They got it from his dad, that’s for sure. 😉
This was a quick spicy read that I always look forward too. I know I am getting a Hot Taboo with an age gap and a Guy who is always so Alpha in his way. Quinn is 18 and looking for a job to help her go on a trip to Paris. She is referred to recent divorcee Mr. Blakley who needs a tutor, babysitter for his twins.
I really loved how Mr. Blakely took care of Quinn and how their chemistry was so spot on, I thought the pages were gonna spark. Not my favorite in this series but I definitely love this town with these older smoking hot men and their baby girls
This story literally blew my socks off, it was so hot. I absolutely love these quick forbidden reads by K. Webster! The older man/younger woman trope is my crack especially since she does them so very well . When Quinn’s wife leaves him to chase her dreams he is left with two teenage boys that need more than he can give them. He needs a babysitter/nanny for his teenage sons , someone to help him out after school , evenings and weekends when he can’t be home so after a recommendation, he contacts Ava and sets up an appointment to meet. Upon their first meeting it was instant chemistry and sizzling connection. Ava is a bit of a nerd, very bookwormish; she is a beautiful young girl who dreams of Paris and a life out of the trailer park and she hopes of receiving a scholarship to college yet the minute she meets “Mr. Blakely” , she has finally met the one man that can take her focus away from her goals. Quinn attempts to ignore the chemistry and sparks between them until he literally cannot and the longing for the sweet and innocent Ava became too much.
This is a fast paced novella that deals with the forbidden and taboo topic of older man/young babysitter. It is steamy, hot, and oh so erotic. This was one of the hotter novellas that K Webster has written in a while and OMG it was so good. I loved Quinn- he was a possessive, alpha, controlling male while Ava was a sweet, innocent yet mature young woman. I felt like they were really made for each other. There were some twists in the story and I wish there was more written about Ava’s father but I understand, novella length so , this was definitely a winner winner reader delight right here!!
My Rating: 4.8 stars *****

Taboo and HOT
Reviews by the Wicked Reads Review Team
Shannan –
Quinn Blakely isn’t really happy about where he is in his life. His wife cheated on him and left him to be an actress in Hollywood. He’s a strict single father raising two teenage boys. He’s man enough to see he needs help with the boys.
When he hires the babysitter, he is immediately taken with her subtle beauty. He finds out she’s eighteen, just a few years older than his boys. He shouldn’t want her, but he does with every fiber of his being.
I love these taboo quick reads Ms. Webster keeps pumping out. They are the perfect length, super sexy, and steamy for a good night read. I love seeing glimpses of characters from past taboo reads. I can’t wait to see what she thinks up next!
Ruthie –
Oh, these Dirty Bits books are super hot, super naughty, and though short, are super satisfying!
I have no issue with May to December romances, but Ms. Webster certainly amps up the naughty, to a point where one wonders whether maybe it is just a bit too much. But there is plenty of freedom and choice is never removed, so I just enjoyed the ride. For a short story there is plenty of development of the key players and an ending which ensures that everything is resolved.
Can’t wait to see what other limits will be pushed in future installments.
Avid Reader –
M/F Taboo romance
Triggers: Cheating, large age gap between main characters
This is a great, short, taboo read. Mr. Blakely is unhappy with his life and is trying to find equal footing again after his wife leaves him and his two sons for her acting career. Despite being slightly bitter in the beginning, when he meets his new nanny, he perks right up.
Despite the age difference, Mr. Blakely cannot help himself. He’s drawn to her and she to him. They don’t have outstanding chemistry, but they have a hot dynamic with a little kink thrown in for good measure.
I loved watching their relationship develop and to see her with his boys too. It was a great short story with steam, love, romance, and family all wrapped together.

My Review:
Sizzle and snap, I wasn’t paying attention and had no idea what I was in for when I started this saucy little story, oh, my! Mr. Blakely was a freshly betrayed and divorced father of teenaged twin boys and in dire need of domestic help. His sons were not adapting as well as he had hoped and were in need of tutoring as well as attention and supervision after school and in the evenings while he was working late at his business or wooing clients. He was given Ava’s name and number and told she was a smart and helpful tutor, and the lovely young woman named Ava was hired to do just that the same day. A lovely young woman that stirred something deep and impossible as she was sweet and kind and an innocent eighteen-year-old high school senior and he was… significantly older than that, like twenty-five years older than that.
Given the common porno premise, I was bracing myself for cheesy or creepy, thankfully, it wasn’t. Other than a few cringe-worthy scenes this was actually a sweet and thoughtful romance with lots of naughty bits and a little bit of high school drama. There was an interesting and engaging plot with supportive relationships established among all the characters after a bit of a rocky start. Ava took good care of his sons and succeeded where Mr. Blakely could not as they improved in school as well as in their family interactions. She studied French and was working toward saving for a trip to France, he softly spoke French endearments to her, bought her gifts including a car to ferry his sons home from school, and other trinkets, as she was always on his mind, as he was on hers. Mr. Blakely took special care of Ava, much better than her own family had, and after hours he tutored her in all manner of adult culinary games like hiding the sausage and eating the pickle. And it worked out very well for them, very well indeed.
Mr. Blakely is a very enjoyable, steamy, quick read romance. An engaging, well written book that offers an older man/ younger woman plot. Characters are complex and I enjoyed the duel P.O.V. that gives you a much more in-depth story. A romance that is part taboo, part naughty, a bit sweet, a bit tender and a lot steamy. I loved Quinn an Ava as a couple. besides the hot chemistry they shared, I just felt that they were perfect for each other. Quinn is a very alpha, dominate male and it should be noted that there is some mild spanking in the book (so, If that’s an issue for you might want to pass on this book). I am happy to say I loved this book and I highly recommend it to readers looking for shorter reads, books with quite a bit of steam and fans of the younger woman/older man trope. I’m posting an honest, voluntary review after reading an advance copy of this book.
When Quinn’s wife leaves him to chase her dreams he is left with two teenage boys that need more than he can give them. Upon a recommendation, he contacts Ava and sets up an appointment to discuss a job as babysitter – a term his sons take exception to.
Ava is smart and independent and she has a plan of what she wants to do with her future. The first thing is to save enough money for her school’s summer trip to Paris. The job for Quinn Blakely should provide enough to do so.
However, when these two meet the sparks fly and the chemistry between them can’t be ignored. But Quinn attempts to do so until the longing for the sweet and beautiful woman is more than he can hold back any longer.
This is a fast paced novella dealing with the taboo topic of older man and babysitter. I didn’t realize that going in and was afraid I might end up with a whiny teenage heroine but that was not the case. Ava was so mature and she brought a peace to Quinn that he had never experienced before. This is light on the drama and heavy on the steam and actually quite enjoyable.
This is an honest review of an advanced copy provided by NetGalley and Carina Press.
