To the unassuming observer, Ben Lockwood is your typical, suburban dad. Aside from the fact that he’s only thirty-six and his daughter is a sophomore in college. He and his wife, Jessica, had their only daughter, Hailey, when they were in high school. So you can imagine the unease Ben is feeling when said daughter brings her new boyfriend home for Thanksgiving… To stay, in their house, for the … whole weekend.
Ryan Harper, otherwise known as The Boyfriend, is every dread Ben’s ever had in his daughter dating come to fruition. There’s nothing wrong with Ryan. He’s polite, smart, and charming… He doesn’t have any neck tattoos or facial piercings, and he drives a BMW. But still, he’s dating Ben’s daughter. That makes him a threat.
It’s in Ben’s best interest to keep an eye on the kid. You know, to make sure there’s no funny business going on under his roof. Unfortunately for him, the tension in the house is less about Ryan being his daughter’s boyfriend, and more about him being a strangely intriguing human.
And soon enough, Ben can’t tell if he’s watching Ryan to protect his daughter’s innocence, or obliterate his own. It seems like the boring married-guy image isn’t going to hold up for long… Not after this bizarre, life-changing weekend.
What are these new, strange feelings and desires? Where did they come from? And why do they have to center around what belongs to his daughter?
Ben and Ryan’s situation couldn’t get much more complicated… Until Jessica steps into the mix.
An unexpected push is all it took for their lives to change forever.
PUSH by Nyla K is a label-free HEA love story. It contains infidelity triggers, which do work themselves out, so I urge you to give it a shot. MMR turns to MMF, in a very steamy, unexpected romance that will make you laugh, maybe cry, and definitely swoon. The theme of love is love is key here, so there aren’t many defining, or coming out moments. That being said, this book does explore male-male bisexuality, pansexuality and polyamory, but in a very casual, unassuming way. If MM and MMF are not your cup of tea, then steer clear. However, if you’re looking for an open-minded tale of taboo and forbidden romance that ultimately works out for its characters, then this book is for you!

4.5 stars!
“In deciding whether to be good or bad, I chose bad. And didn’t look back.”
Forbidden. Steamy. LOVE IS LOVE DUDE.
Good lord. I need a cold shower because it’s midday and I have school to finish but my GOSHHHHHH, this book is insane! It’s forbidden and taboo, it’s BEYOND steamy, it’s scorching! It’s a feel good, smit-filled love story that has no boundaries.
Nyla, Nyla, NYLA!! New author to me but this book will NOT be the last I read from her. I love how she held back NOTHING when writing this story. Her writing was art to me and I fell in love with these characters.
I needed this book. I needed the raw love. The forbidden touch. The taboo story. I needed it.
Love is love.
“This control he had over me was intense; the need consuming.”
I absolutely cannot with this book. I cannot. THE STEAM OF IT ALL.
DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IN PUBLIC. It’s not safe.
I have read too many books to count so when I tell you this just feels like the most forbidden dirty book I’ve ever read I’m not joking. That is coming from someone who loves dark romance with heavy emphasis on DARK.
Ryan and Ben happened into a very toxic forbidden fantasy that completely overwhelmed their senses. It’s so wrong it’s shouldn’t be right. Like EVER and yet just like a train wreck I couldn’t look away. They have this unbelievable explosive chemistry that leaves them both powerless to deny the want between them even when knowing it will hurt the ones they love. But the funny thing is it’s not just them. This goes from your dirtiest mm fantasy to and even dirtier more forbidden thruple situation that has me SHOOK.
I WASN’T PREPARED.
Every emotion is tangible. The chemistry is so freaking palpable and the suspense of it all had me on edge the entire book. Talk about a climactic build. The tensions of it all. Their journey is dysfunctional, outrageous and so forbidden it just shouldn’t be happening but you’ll love it even knowing that you shouldn’t. I love the way this author writes and her very detailed scenes leave no need for you the imagine because she paints the pictures crystal clear like a film in a book. I felt everything.
This was recommended to me by a friend when I ask for mm recs and lord am I glad I did. This is my first read by this author but it will definitely not be my last that is for sure.
I wish I could give this book more stars because it’s that amazing!! For being the length that Push is, it was a fast read & its fast burn. This is the first book I’ve read by Nyla K. and I loved it! The taboo aspect of it, if it’s not your usual trope, will probably have you going but it’s worth it! Give it a try if you haven’t read it! Hailey brings her boyfriend, Ryan, home for thanksgiving to meet her parents and over the course of the weekend Ryan enjoys a night with someone unexpected. Yes, he cheated on Hailey but things aren’t all bad. They get back to school and make the decision that they’re better off as friends. Granted she doesn’t find out until later about what happens but despite it, they do remain close friends. He focuses on the relationship with the other person and it goes from there. Push is full of steam, love and a heart break. Definitely a must read if you love those things in a book.
Okay, so here’s the thing. I started following the lovely Nyla K. about a month or so ago. I kept seeing posts about this book Push. I saw the cover and nearly drooled because what’s sexier than a nice back? Lol. I had no idea what this book was about but I downloaded it from KU and then read the synopsis.
HOLY. SHIT. Y’all. I have never in my life read something like this so obviously my curiosity was peaked. Let. Me. Tell. You. Nyla K. might have just became one of my favorite authors. I kid you not y’all, she did such an incredible job at writing this forbidden romance. I felt every emotion possible while reading it. And the steam factor. Shew.
Y’all I could not put this book down. Every time I finished a chapter, I had to keep going. I had to force myself to stop reading it to go to bed. Lol. I’m not going to spoil anything for you, if you choose to read the synopsis, that’s your choice. But just know it is a sexy af forbidden romance and I give it a 5/5. You need to read this. But fair warning, this book is NOT for the faint of heart. Thanks Nyla K. for writing such a badass book, and giving me all the feels while reading it. You’re awesome!
This book is smoking hot!! Forbidden romance is one of my favorites to read. And Nyla did fantastic! Ben and Ryan are so hot, sexy, domineering, and delicious!! So much fantasticness. I read this 500 page book in less than 24 hours! That’s how awesome it is!!
