Loved Father’s Favourite and read it all in one go. I enjoyed how the story developed, the balance of plot and spice is perfect. It may be short and sweet but you get a real insight into the relationship and who doesn’t love a father who takes it.

Odessa ALWAYS brings the taboo heat, and this was no different!🔥 There’s so much story and spice packed into less than 100 pages, making this a must-read quick little snack. No spoilers, but their were certain aspects of the family/relationship dynamic that I don’t think I’ve read before, and I ate it up. Definitely pick this one up when it releases June 1!

What a complex little morsel! The angst in a taboo book is generally outside of the relationship, or focused outwards. This story had it inside, not in an unpleasant way. Quite realistic.
We get a peek into a weekend at a cabin with father & son. The middle forgotten adult child gets all the attention he can handle.
Fortunately all boats were avoided!

I have read and loved all of Odessa Hywell’s previous taboo books and I went into this expecting more of the same, but I was actually surprised by the emotional depth in this particular story. Yes, there’s heat and the angst of a forbidden relationship, but more so there’s real heart and so much love that I wasn’t expecting and it just took it to a whole new level.
Stephen and his dad have had a strained relationship. Stephen believes that his dad has never truly seen him or even stopped to consider that he had a middle child, and when truths are revealed over a campfire it rocks both of them to the core. I hate to say too much because part of the beauty of this book lies in the emotional journey that the two men – father and son – take and how they start to carve out a new understanding between them. I will say that Dad is absolute perfection in allowing Stephen not only the space to come to terms with their attraction, but also the choice in how far they take things. At no time is anything pushed or rushed and that’s when the true beauty of the story unfolds. The sweetness and the love make you forget it’s a taboo story.
The ending is more of a HFN and I really hope that the author revisits these two at some point so that we can see how their new found closeness transmuted to the real world back home. Regardless, this is one of the best taboo novellas that I’ve read in a while and I wholeheartedly recommend it. 5/5*

Stephen has always felt ignored by his father but when he goes with him to their cabin, things are different. For the first time in forever, he is the center of his Dad’s attention. In a conflicted but hot experience, these two feel the angst, the heat, the passion of what should never be. And they don’t hold back. Hot, steamy and taboo.

Stephan and his father’s story was steamy, angsty and quite emotional and I enjoyed it. This may be a fast-paced novella, but it does an excellent job of tugging at your heartstrings as it turns the heat way up.

Sometimes stories hit differently and this one featuring a middle child who think’s he’s being ignored and left out takes an interesting twist when dad explains why he’s not as involved in his son’s life and it gets totally taboo!
This was the steamy, erotic father/son novella that I totally expect to get from Odessa Hywell and it was absolutely on point and everything you want from this kind of read! If taboo father/son is your jam, you need to add this book to your TBR immediately.
So good! –
I love how no matter how short the story is Odessa always gives us a full and complete plot and always brings the HEAT 🔥🔥!!

Very cute and short father’s day weekend trip to a cabin with confessions and hidden feelings.
I’m so sad this was so short. It has great potential to be a longer book or a longer series. Stephen and his dad were so hot and very sweet. The banter between them and also between Tristan and Stephen (internally too) was hilarious and such sibling-hate-and-love.
I’m so hoping there’s a sequel with more of them, but also (even though there’s no hint of this) I want Tristan and Rome to get a book. I can see Tristan taming the youngest brother because he’s so rebellious.

Ok so, spicy tabooey goodness aside (which was totally a 10 out of 10), I wasn’t prepared for the sad feels. Although it kind of hit me hard because I really miss my own dad (but not in *that* way). Father’s Day is always tough because you never know when the last one will be the last one.
I laughed when Stephen made his comment about the boat and the pier, and I cried when he talked about getting a hug from his dad, and then I had to stop crying because spicy times were coming and no one wants to deal with those two things together unless you’re reading about *that* kink… although I don’t think that type of crying is the type that… hmmm, meh, whatever floats your boat, who am I to decide what kind of crying it should be.
Anywho, where was I? Oh, who remembers?
Once again though, I kind of want his brother’s to have their own stories. I maybe smelled a story between Tristan and his boss (maybe), and even though Roman is pretty much just a name and his addiction, I think he deserves his own HEA. Or maybe Roman has his addiction because he can’t have the one thing he wants in the world 🤔 or can he?
Highly recommend.
I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Father’s Favorite was such a good book. This is a taboo read between Stephan and his dad, and it was wonderful. Both sweet and spicy with low angst, definitely recommend.
Belinda Zamora –
Yes, this is a taboo relationship but there was a also a very sweet and tender connection between Stephen and his dad.
Stephen has always felt invisible because he’s the middle child.
Tristan the oldest stepped up at a young age to help run the household and Romeo is the youngest and the problem child.
Stephen’s dad felt because he was settled he didn’t need him as much and he just realized what he’s done and how it made Stephen feel.
That obviously gets resolved and both connect through their forbidden relationship.
Traci S –
Thank you for the book, here is my honest opinion:
An excellent novella, you get a bit of everything with this one. It had a surprising amount of heart with Stephen’s loneliness as the forgotten middle child. It also, or surprisingly, has excellent steam, and definitely delivers two interesting and compelling characters with Stephen and his Dad. I also appreciate that the author put some uncertainty in the relationship, they struggle with their connection, and it’s not overly neat and pretty. A fun and fast read!

I absolutely loved this story. This was such an amazing and emotional story. This story was very spicy and yet very sweet. I really enjoyed the dynamic between these two.

I loved this so much!! I felt so much with Stephen and simply existing and orbiting around his dad. I love a man that will do anything to claim his boy and a sucker for this specific dynamic. I was literally goo after everything they did, and his dad just wants Stephen in his life no matter the outcome.
