Some lines should never be crossed.But sometimes the temptation is too good to resist… again. Everything I thought I knew about my biological father and Mason’s role in my life? Turns out, it was all a lie. Every. Last. Word.
Now Mason’s back.
However, he offers no excuses, no explanations. He just wants me to be what he claims I’ve always been: his little girl.
But the ache inside me won’t be denied. The longing I feel isn’t one of a little girl who misses her father.
No.
I need Mason to be more than just a father figure.
More than a loving protector.
I need him to be my Daddy.

My Rating: 4.5 stars *******
I could not find a good page to truly sink myself into, during the beginning stages of this novel. I like to imagine it in my mind as a movie as the pages turn; however, I never could find footing to actually get that started here with this story. I would possibly like to try again later, hopefully it might be a better fit.

I was pleasantly surprised by the story of Mason and Jett it was a passionate, slow burn angst ridden taboo story of love that’s not in the least an easy or straight road. The story had all the earmarks of Margot Scott’s quick and sometimes dirty insta-love older man/younger woman classics that I’ve come to enjoy. However, there were so many layers to both the hero and the heroine. Mason was definitely an alpha male but he wasn’t an asshole he cared for everyone that was important to him in his life even during times when it was the hardest and caused him untold pain and heartbreak.
Jett was an absolute powerhouse for someone so young; she had a wisdom beyond her years, she saw love not in the hearts and flowers way that most her age would see; she saw the layers in love the good, bad and just plain f’ed up but she never shied from it; there are some serious twist and unforeseen turns in this story that I didn’t see coming, dealing with a very sensitive subject matter, one that Ms. Scott handled with care, she neither avoided it, prettied it up or tried to rush the development of her main characters. Although there are similarities to MS signature style of writing this story is a definite departure from anything she has written. I enjoyed the full length story that I often have wished to have in MS novellas style stories, I look forward to more like it.
I don’t want to give away key plot points because it would ruin the story, however I will caution to say please go into it with an open mind and enjoy the beautiful and sometime maddening characters that Margot has created.
Jett is 18 and comes to New York to see the Mason, the man she thought was her father for most of her life. Mason left Jett when she was 12, never hearing from him again. Jett then finds out that the man she has been missing for 6 years, wasn’t actually her father. Going to New York, she’s expecting answers, and closure. What she gets is more questions and sexual confusion for a man she still thinks of as her father…
These two are a mix between lovers, and father & daughter. I thought maybe once they started exploring their relationship sexually, that they would give up the pretense of having a father & daughter relationship… But Jett has some issues.. like daddy issues..
She constantly calls him “daddy” in the bedroom, and “dad” outside of it. She’s constantly thinking of him as “my father”, and doesn’t think anything is wrong with this thought process..
I am so confused by this book… there were some parts where I was thinking it’d be a good read.. but then other parts, I was like what the frack is going on?!
Let me make something clear, I am in no way a prude. I LOVE a good dark romance, and have read plenty of taboo smut. But, the family dysfunction may have been a bit much for me
If it wasn’t CONSTANTLY reminded of the fact that these two thought of each other as father & daughter, it wouldn’t have bothered me. It would have probably been a 5 star for me.
I did like this authors writing though so I’ll probably pick up another book of hers.

Erotically delicious, filthy dark, push all your buttons …. Romance? Maybe. I’m not quite set on what to call it, but I can tell you that the title of the book does not lie. This is an age-gap story at its base. That will automatically categorize it as taboo and forbidden. It is all that and a heck of a lot more! It is pretty, it is dark, and it is dirty. Do not expect anything less and do not assume it is anything other than that.
I’m not going to go thru plot points with you, but if you’re new to the world of dark and twisted stories, you might not want to start with this one. This story delves into some serious issues that could possibly be a trigger for a lot of readers but I shouldn’t even have to tell you that because if you do have triggers, you shouldn’t even be looking at these types of stories so …..
For me, this story was pretty much exactly what I expected based on the cover, title and synopsis and I enjoyed the heck out of it. I love age gap story-lines and this one was completely on point. The level of depth the story carried was unexpected and it pleased me. I got a delicious age gap story with depth and growth of the characters. It was a win/win for me. I’ll be looking into reading more from this author for sure!
Super good book. Older man and younger woman. What’s the problem with that. Mason was part of Jett’s life when she was young. He disappeared and Jett found him years later. She also found out that Mason was not her father. Jett has grown some but still want Mason as her “Daddy” and not her father. Jett and Mason end up starting a secret relationship. This was so hot, taboo, dark and dirty. Can’t wait to read more from Margot Scott. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Jett has questions about why her Father Mason left her when she was 12 deciding she needed to find answers. However, some questions are better left unanswered what began as a quest for answered quickly turned into something more and what started out as a father/daughter reconnecting turned into something way more.
Pretty, Dark & Dirty by Margot Scott is the story of Jett ‘Jetty’ and Manson.
Jett thought at one time that Manson was her father but he up and left when she was around 12 years old. Now she is 18 and she is looking for answers that lead her back to Manson. Their reunion isn’t a father/daughter one they really start over but this time there is an attraction there that isn’t the traditional father / daughter one. This is on the taboo side for those not interested in that story line then this book might not be for you. Overall I enjoyed their steamy story.
Sometimes, when I start to read a ‘Daddy’ book I cringe. I can usually tell in the first paragraph or two whether I’m going to like it or not.
I love my Daddy books but I have certain requirements…
It must be classy while still being naughty.
There must be a good back story for me to see into the characters personalities and reasons.
It has to make me feel naughty and dirty but not have me scrunching my face up and thinking “Eeew”.
It has to be sexy but still involve deep feelings.
It has to make me question my morals…just a wee bit, lol.
It has to make me want them to be together, not “Get out of there, girl!”.
So as you can see, I’m hard to please when it comes to this genre.
Luckily for me, and you, Margot Scott pulls this off wonderfully.
I really didn’t want to put the book down!
JETTY
From the very start, I was quite taken with Jetty. I loved watching her feelings change and grow. Her back story is a little sad.
Basically, her daddy left when she was 12 years old and she never saw him or heard from him again. She was gutted as she was extremely close to him. Like, the sun shone out of his rear, kind of close, lol.
Anyway, she was angry with him and hurt. A few months ago she finds his number in her mum’s stuff and contacted him.
Her mum found out and stuff hit the fan. Mum dropped the bomb that he wasn’t her biological father and hoped that was enough to stop Jetty from wanting to meet up with him.
I’ll be honest, I was extremely curious as to why her mum was freaking out. It kept me speed reading, lol.
I needed to know what the bigger picture was here.
MASON
Mmm…yes please, Daddy!
This man is all kinds of yummy!
He’s not proud of the way he walked out of Jetty’s life six years ago but he won’t tell her why!
He won’t even tell her who he suspects her biological father is, which drove me nuts! (in a good way, lol).
Like I said my curiosity was piqued and I didn’t want to put the book down until I figured it out.
He wants Jetty…but he knows he shouldn’t. He wants the best for her but he’s not sure if he can keep away.
Their relationship is most definitely going to trigger some people.
Even I had a raised eyebrow at times. I had to stop and ask myself, “Do I actually find this wrong? Is this too much?”.
And the answer was no. I think Margot Scott managed to get just the right amount of dirty, sexy and shocking thoughts/feelings.
Don’t get me wrong, it is most definitely taboo but (in my opinion, anyway) not to the “Ick” extent.
The only thing I will say though is that I wish we had seen things from Mason’s POV. I was desperate to get in his head and know what he was thinking and feeling.
FINAL THOUGHTS on Pretty, Dark & Dirty by Margot Scott
I can not deny that this is extremely taboo. Or that it had me questioning my moral compass at times.
There were moments where it was almost too much. I mean, this is the man that raised her for most of her life.
But, neither could I deny that it excited me. Is that messed up? Maybe. Do I care? No.
4 Stars
Ummm where to start with this one…..FIRST let me say that this book was amazingly written and I enjoyed reading it because the flow and story were super natural. Didn’t feel rushed or drawn out..just very smooth. BUT the reason I am only giving 4 stars is because of my own personal opinion on the Daddy/Daughter thing. I knew that’s what the book was about, so I was prepared for the taboo, however some of the things in there just didn’t sit with me very well. I am not going to list what (I hate giving spoilers). Other than those few things though, and I had to just not think about them as I read, I very much enjoyed reading Mason & Jett’s story.
* I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. I was not compensated for my review, and I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed here is my own.*
Not my usual gente. The characters were well thought and developed. The story line was good. I have mixed feelings about this book hence my review title. I am conflicted over Mason’s feelings for Jett and vice versa.

Naughty and Delicious!
DAMN! This story was so naughty it was delicious! It definitely has some dark elements to it and deals with a taboo subject but is worth the read. The characters are great even though Jett is sometimes a bit immature, she does eventually show some maturity when it comes to certain situations. Mason is a sexy artist and Jett’s former dad. Mason tries very hard to keep away from Jett but there is an undeniable attraction and chemistry between them. They are drawn to each other like flies to honey. Every second is definitely panty-melting and the chapter where Mason draws Jett – SO SEXY!!
This story is very sexy, intense and taboo. Hopefully you have perfected your one handed reading before starting this one! Can’t wait to read more Margot Scott!
This was a first for me. I don’t read many taboo storylines (if ever), and new-to-me authors are rare for me but this one grabbed my interest.
However, this book felt like a made-for-TV storyline for Law & Order: SVU . . .
It’s definitely dark . . . and unbiologically twisted (if that’s even a word).
Mason and Jett were a father/daughter duo. He raised her until she was 12. Then he left the picture. She wants answers and goes after them by finding him. The book started out fairly well. I do know now that “daddy” taboo books are not for me. I personally just found it weird when she would call the man who partially raised & changed her diapers “daddy” while adventuring into a sexual relationship with him. Also her childish jealously towards his current muse irked me. Like, girl, he’s slept with your mom. Just let that sink in for a bit, Jetty . . .
Obviously this is a genre that appeals to most people and although it didn’t trigger me, I could have done without Mason being any type of father figure to her, and just maybe an older man or art teacher who sees her as the perfect muse to paint.
The writing was good and the ending still has me figuring out how to put it into words, but it’s safe to say that this book started out well with me but quickly took a nose dive faster than Jetty could say “daddy”.
I was provided an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
I’ve been a fan of this author for a while now and was so excited when I saw a longer length book from her. The storyline was very original and kept my hooked from start to finish. I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys reading daddy/ little girl kink. This book is HAWT and DIRTY !!!
I am still getting in to the world of reading books on taboo topics. This one left a somewhat bad taste in my mouth. I get that in the beginning of the story there will be a little “this is against what I know to be right” and characters arguing with themselves over it. However if felt like the author just couldn’t let the idea go. At finally reached a point like mentioning it was “beating a dead horse” so to speak. Beyond that, the story itself was okay. It does also hit on may trigger areas such as rape and teen pregnancy just to name a few, so keep that in mind.

I’ve read books by this author before and I always love her style of writing.
Jett ‘ Jetty ‘ is a young woman who has just turned 18 years old.
She has always felt abandoned by her father because her mother never told her the truth. From a young age her mother has lied to her but for her own good. Jett decided she wanted to look for her father.
Mason ‘ daddy ‘ is a man that brought her up from being born until the age of 12 even though he isn’t her biological father, however that is until one day he completely disappeared from her life. Until 6 years pass.
( NO SPOILERS ).
There are secrets, lies and hidden revelations happening and the deep, dark secret between Jett and Mason are huge. Life changing, totally forbidden.
These characters do have an explosive amount of sexual attraction between each other, but this is a forbidden love story. This isn’t supposed to be happening. They knew it was wrong but couldn’t stop themselves.
This is a dangerous story and someone is bound to get hurt. There is raw emotion and hurt especially what happened to Jetts mum, I cried for her totally.
I think the author writes brilliantly however I just wasn’t feeling the story line. Father and daughter.
I wasn’t really sure about this book and I think that this time that this story wasn’t for me. This book is full of twists and shockers I couldn’t believe some of the shocks.
Thank you to the author and publishers for allowing me to read an early copy of this book.
ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
This book is out now.
First, woah woah woah. This is one crazy twist after another. I mean, I was second guessing a lot throughout this book. It is intense, emotional and steamy. So Gretchen aka Jett has had a difficult childhood. Not bad, but not good either. Her mother has not been forthcoming in a lot of things that has happened in the past. Jett is wanting information but is having a hard time. She finally reconnects with Mason her DAD, or is he? The emotions Jett portrays are all over and when the story finally concludes you are left with the O face. LOL yeah I said that. This was a great book to read and I very much enjoyed all the crazy dark twisted elements. I cannot wait to read more of this authors works.

I’m not new to taboo romance but this was something else. Full of spice and mystery.
Their love was controversial and unconvensional. I loved the forbidden element of this book, all the secrecy, and moral dilemma’s. Constantly on the edge of my seat, I kept reading to find answers to their past which only led me to more questions that kept me guessing.
Not your typical step daddy romance. Had me feeling all the emotions. Definitely unputdownable.
Warning: statutory rape, and possible grooming
This book was steamy affair. Forbidden, dark, dirty, tragic and unconventional to say the least. Mason and Jett has a relationship that’s definitely not the norm but beautiful in itself. Their journey will consume you and wrap you all up before you even realize you’re waiting for the next page

** spoiler alert ** Super hot sexy taboo story! Taboo and forbidden are my FAVORITES. So I knew I would love this. When Jett turns 18 so goes to find her “dad” that left her 6 years ago to find answers as to why. She also found out that he isnt her real dad. Right from the get go things get frisky. He is an artist, she wants to pose naked for him. There were ALOT of hot moments. I do feel the ending needed a tad more. Regardless this was a really good short dirty book and I am intrigued to see what else Margot Scott has written. I really enjoyed her writing
