UNDENIABLE
Indulgence series
Forbidden love…is undeniable.
When she was younger, like all little girls, Sophie Hawkins believed in fantasies. She believed in happily-ever-after and that one day her prince would come. What made Sophie’s dreams a bit different was that the man of her dreams wasn’t a fictional prince but her best friend’s dad.
Matt was handsome and nice, the kind of man every … dad.
Matt was handsome and nice, the kind of man every woman would want.
Time passes, and through the years, Sophie’s reality changes, yet her attraction and memories of Matt Hamilton never fade. Where boys and men are concerned, Matt remains her gold standard.
When his daughter was young, Matt Hamilton had it all: a family and success.
With the ticking of the clock and changing of the calendar, seasons pass and situations adjust. Business success remains, but personally, his world changes…until the day fate sets the undeniable in motion.
Sophie was a sweet little girl, his daughter’s best friend, and a ray of undeniable sunshine. That was before. Now she’s more. She is a grown woman.
Who can deny the undeniable?

Wowza! Ladies, get your fans ready. You will need a cool down after reading this hot little ditty.
Sophie Hawkins was attracted to her best friend, Becky’s, dad when they were younger. At a young age it seemed almost unnatural to harbor such deep feelings.
After years of separation, Matt Hamilton has Sophie in his sights and he isn’t letting go.
Their attraction is a pulsing beat ready to ignite. Definitely one- click this now.
Once upon a time there were two little girls, best of friends, one who idealized her dad and the other thought he was the prince in all of the fairy tales she read about. Fast forward a decade, the two are no longer friends but Sophie still fantasizes about her Prince Charming, Mr. Hamilton.
Sophie has been working hard for an event planner over the summer before she starts University, since that is what she is planning on doing once she graduates, when one event puts her right into the path of the man of her dreams.
Aleatha gives us a fantasy of falling in love with your best friends dad, some of you may have thought your friend’s dads were hot when you were younger so this one is for you! This was a quick, steamy read that you can do in just a couple of hours.
Happy Reading!!!
The best Aleatha Roming book that I’ve read!! these 2 were the hottest couple ever! I loved the story and the forbidden side of it! It was incredible!
Undeniable is a short and fast paced taboo novella and man did it bring all of the steam! SUPER HOT! There’s just something extremely exciting about an age gap isn’t there?!
If you love taboo insta-love then you are definitely going to enjoy this read! Sophie has always had a crush on her best friends Dad and now that she’s older, her crush becomes lust and then who knows, it could even become love!
Matt Hamilton = pure fire. Simple as that.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I haven’t read the other books in this series but as it is a standalone it is not necessary. This is a short sexy taboo age gap romance that was a fun read. It is taboo so if that’s not your thing give it a pass. The story is one of insta love and passion lots and lots of passion if you get my drift You don’t get to know the characters but it is a very quick read so I didn’t expect to.
I enjoy a great novella from time to time- quick and fast paced reads that get right to the heart of the relationships with minimal conflicts. Undeniable plays on some of my favorite tropes-forbidden and age gap- and given that it is penned by Aleatha Romig, I knew it would be a steamy good time.
Told in dual POV, this is the story of Matt and Sophie- 18 years apart in age, with Sophie being the former best friend of Matt’s daughter Becky. Sophie always crushed on her childhood best friend’s father, but life drew her away, and when she lost touch with Becky, she lost touch with Matt, too. Now in college, their paths cross yet again- and Matt wastes no time (literally, this isn’t just insta love, this is pretty insta-everything) in pursuing the young woman who has fantasized about him since puberty. What follows is a very fast-paced, zero to 100 in a few pages relationship.
While I loved the trope, and Romig nails the deliciously erotic aspects of this relationship, I felt like the connection between this characters emotionally and psychologically just didn’t come across as well as in her other stories. There was very little resistance or conflict, even though we think there might be, which means we miss the chance to see them strengthen their bond. While I loved getting to see Matt’s fatherly nature and his commitment to Sophie in the situation with Becky, I think it actually divided the focus of this story- one half was about these two getting together, and the other was about getting Becky on board- both are interesting, but perhaps too much to achieve in a novella, which meant both felt a bit rushed. The taboo side of the relationship (Matt teaching the 18 year old friend of his daughter, that he may or may not have fixated on before she was 18) felt more glossed over as result, as did time to see these two as anything more than in-lust.
That said, this is a fast and sexy read- SUPER low angst, super low drama, super insta-love and insta-lust. Going into a novella, you know the character depth (unless we already now them) has to be tightly focused, the story has to move fast, and you can’t expect the depth of story you would with a higher word count. While I think we could have had a bit more connection- this was still a fun and erotic quick take on a trope that I always enjoy.

I really really love a great taboo book and this on is a taboo and an age gap book that I devoured. This is the story of Sophie and Matt. Sophie has had a crush on her best friends dad for as long as she can remember. She was best friends with his daughter and kept her attraction to her dad a secret. After all she was just a little girl who had a crush. But that crush grows right along with her and turned into fantasies. Now she is grown though and is in college as she wants to be an even planner which led her to the current event she helped with in the most beautiful mansion she has ever seen. As she is making sure that everything is done before she goes she is outside looking at the ocean when Matt appears as if from thin air. Now that is all you are getting out of me about this story. This one is short and so hot it might have your kindle melting in your very hands. Like I said before I love a good age gap/taboo book and this one delivers everything that you expect from one of these stories. You don’t want to miss it.
Y’all about taboo. This book is amazing. I have loved this series because while they all kinda go together, they can be read separately. This book is a quick steamy read full of forbidden romance. It is a must read for sure!!
Hot and sexy–
Love is never a simple, add in a little naughty and you have a scorching hot book.
This book just wasn’t for me. However, as a huge Aleatha Romig fan, it will not deter me from any of her future stories.
Undeniable was a short but powerful novella from Aleatha Romig that’s all about love, pleasure and swoon. It’s a steaming hot age gap / best friend’s father romance. So you can expect all the sinful and heartaching feels!
Sophi always had an irresistible attraction towards her best friend’s father Matt Hamilton. Now years later he is back and he is back to claim her as his own. So begins a fairytale of indulgence and pleasure and sins..It won’t be easy but they are determined to make it work. Matt is absolutely addictive. Dominating and controlling and possessive and provocative…just how I love my alpha men! And Sophi is his perfect soulmate. Age doesn’t stand between them. I only wished for a bit depth and may be a bit more complications in their lives. It seemed everything happened too simply and I wanted to feel more of the intensity of emotions.
Undeniable is a short and mouthwatering read for your naughty and dirty heart. A quick yet effectively hot affair.

Undeniable by Aleatha Romig is an age-gap taboo romance. It was a quick, sexy and steamy read. Sophie has crushed (early on) and been attracted to her friend’s father, Matt, for such a long time. Nothing should ever come of it, right? And yet now she will get her greatest desires and Matt is ready to give her everything she wants and needs.

Happy reading!
Sophie has always believed in fantasies and happily-ever-afters even though tragedy has shown her a very different side of life. She always considered Matt, the father of her childhood best friend, to be her gold standard. All grown up, Sophie is reunited with Matt. Has fate set the undeniable in motion? Is Matt her prince charming?
This age gap novella is a fun, super-steamy romance. It keeps you engaged from beginning to end. I could have easily read a lot more about this sweet couple!
I volunteered to provide an honest review of an advanced copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
My Rating: 1/2
Type: Standalone
Genre: Contemporary Fiction Romance, Erotica, Short read
Primary Characters: Matt & Sophie
Narration: Dual POV
I’m fan of Aleatha’s dark reads. Even though Erotica and this type of age gap taboo is not my binge, I couldn’t resist signing up for this.
This is a steaming hot age gap – taboo/ best friend’s father Erotica romance. It’s a short read. Matt has been Sophie’s Gold Standard where boys and man are concerned. Matt is her childhood best friend’s father. When years later they meet, they get attracted and attached. Sophie is beautiful and sparkly girl & Matt is twice her age being controlling and possessive.
This book doesn’t dwell much on relationship building and characters. Narration is easy. This book is similar to other indulgence series with a touch of Taboo and age gap. Aleatha gave us a steamy love story.
If you are a fan of Aleatha’s dark taboo and twisted side, and if are looking to escape the world around you for a couple of hours, you will probably enjoy, Undeniable.

I absolutely love the writing by this author. This really wasn’t one of my favorites, though. It didn’t have enough drama for me. I did enjoy the characters and the storyline. I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
3-3.5 stars
I had to sit on this one for a few days. I absolutely adore Ms. Romig and her twisted mind. At first, this one rubbed me a bit the wrong way. I’m ok with age gaps but wished Sophie was a year or two older. I know novellas have to tell a lot in a short time but it was like wham bam thank you ma’am, lets talk babies & marriage. But I have to say that once I was able to put those things to rest in my mind, I did enjoy Matt and Sophie’s story. A bit taboo as Matt’s her childhood BFF’s dad, once the story got rolling I really wished they would’ve had a full length novel.
